Chapter 409

the other side.

In the silent palace, Shen Yongmao and others were hurriedly walking towards the outside of the palace city under the leadership of the guards.

At this moment, the Forbidden City was close to being closed, and everyone's pace couldn't help but hastened a little.

If they can't get out before the door is closed and locked, they can only go out when the door opens tomorrow.

However, the atmosphere along the way was very depressing, and the soldiers leading the way with lights in front were even more afraid to show their atmosphere, and the cold sweat on their necks wet their collars.

The flickering light in his hand stretched the figures of the people behind him.

However, at this moment, there are only six people in total, but they are divided into two groups clearly.

Bi Ziyan walked alone on the left, while Shen Yongmao and other five people walked on the right. The open space between the two groups was like a huge invisible gap.

All the people were expressionless, no one spoke, and the sonorous footsteps of the guards patrolling around came from a distance.

"Tap Tap!"

And behind them, one door after another was gradually locked and closed, and the sound of bang bang bang came out.

Let everyone feel more depressed and dull.

In this way, he walked out of the Forbidden City all the way, stepped out of the last gate, and the gate behind him was slowly pushed to close by the soldiers.

When they were about to part ways, Qian Yiqian broke everyone's silence.

"Tomorrow is the Grand Court Meeting, and it won't help if we wait to go home now, why not go to the house and talk about it."

Hearing his words, everyone's footsteps stopped, but their eyes were all on Bi Ziyan.

It depends on Bi Ziyan whether to go to check the house or not.

They are not children, they don't talk about right and wrong, they only discuss interests.

In the Royal Study Room before, everyone was fighting for interests. Even though they have different positions, it does not mean that everyone does not have the same interests.

Bi Ziyan was always a member of the gentry.

Hearing this, Bi Ziyan paused, then stood on the spot without turning his head and asked: "Will the gentry in the world pay the full amount of food and silver by going to value the house?"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Shen Yongmao and others turned cold instantly, and Qian Yiqian even shook his head and smiled wryly.

Naturally, he spoke out to reconcile everyone. After all, they didn't have any enmity, they just had conflicts.

As long as you are willing to talk, conflicts can be resolved.

However, Bi Ziyan seemed determined.

Shen Yongmao put on a cold face, walked up to Bi Ziyan, and said unceremoniously:

"It is simply impossible for the gentry to pay the money and food in full. Let alone you, even Zhang Juzheng's resurrection today is impossible."

Hearing this, Bi Ziyan glanced at the others coldly, and said coldly, "Then what else can I say."

After saying that, Bi Ziyan walked away immediately.

Shen Yongmao was immediately irritated by Bi Ziyan's attitude, he was already holding back his anger, and now he broke out completely.

"Could it be that I have waited for the gentry to suffer for ten or twenty years, and I can't get today's blessings? If all the gentry pay the money and food in full from now on, how different will we be from that Li Shu?"

"Could it be that my hard work of waiting for so many years was in vain, just to fulfill your name, Bi Ziyan?"

Bi Ziyan turned around abruptly when he heard the words, his eyes were like copper bells, and he yelled: "This old man has never been in the name of me alone, this old man is only for this great Ming!"

"Da Ming! Daming!" Shen Yongmao laughed angrily, pointed at Bi Ziyan and roared, "You keep saying that you are Da Ming, so is this Daming yours and Bi Ziyan's alone?"

"Isn't it the Daming I'm waiting for? Isn't it the Daming of the gentlemen in the world?"

"What good can you gain by beating the gentry like this? Aren't you a gentry yourself?"

Shen Yongmao is also going all out at this moment.

Today we will completely solve this problem here.

They also knew that Bi Ziyan's strategy could definitely solve Daming's current problems, but they just kept silent.

Once an exception is made today, it would be an extravagant hope to tie the hole in the future.

Chongzhen tasted the sweetness this time, can he give up easily?

Thinking of this, Shen Yongmao took a deep breath, and then continued:

"¨You have also seen it today. If it is like this today, it will be like this in the future. When will we wait for gentry like leeks?"

"In the long run, how are we different from farmers in the fields, hawkers in the city, and artisans in the army? Who will stand in awe and look up to me?"

"Ten years and 20 years of studying hard, studying hard and never giving up, who doesn't want to become a master? Who doesn't want to spread branches and leaves, and have a big family and a big career?"

"But if you follow your strategy, and you find yourself looking for guilt in the end, who will be poor for ten years in the future? Who will study hard? You might as well go to work in cheap jobs."

Shen Yongmao said that his emotions fluctuated at the end, his whole face turned red, and his hoarse voice was out of shape.

A look of sadness flashed in Bi Ziyan's eyes, he looked at the people around him, and said in a sonorous tone:

"This moment is the moment of life and death for the Ming Dynasty. How can you care about personal gain (gain and loss)? There is no home without a country!"

However, Shen Yongmao was unmoved, and said tit for tat:

"How can there be a country without a family? The money and food of the gentry are not blown by strong winds. If the family is destroyed, the country will perish!"

As soon as these words came out, the surroundings became quiet in an instant, and the other five people all looked at Bi Ziyan quietly.

Bi Ziyan's body trembled, his old face was full of grief and indignation, tears welled up in his eyes, and he said in a trembling tone:

"You... Niemi..."

"So...you...you think so?"

"So you think so!"

Grief, indignation, disbelief, and despair.

Bi Ziyan gave up completely, nodded his head, then left a word coldly, turned around and left.

"The way is different, don't conspire with each other!" said Huo.

Chapter 410

"You take your Yangguan Road, I'll take my single-plank bridge!"

Bi Ziyan's words came from the wind, and the faces of Shen Yongmao and others became completely gloomy.

"Even if tens of thousands of people block the way, I will move forward with all my strength!"

Before the sonorous words dissipated, Bi Ziyan's figure had completely gone and disappeared into the distance.

Shen Yongmao and others stood on the same ground and watched him go away expressionlessly, until Bi Ziyan's figure completely disappeared, they still stood at the gate of the Forbidden City.

After a long time, Shen Yongmao snorted coldly: "I'm stubborn!"

Qian Yiqian also let out a long sigh: "Da Ming can't stand the torment at all. If the gentry are moved, Da Ming will die if he says so."

Bi Ziyan's idea is good, but it is tantamount to taking back the privileges in the hands of the gentry.

No gentry is willing to do such a thing, because there are no gentry in this world who honestly rely on hard work to grow strong.

All the gentry families have a lot of bones under them.

And the honest gentry family will never survive.

This is the best era, everyone can be the first, even slaves who herd horses can be the top ministers.

But this is also the worst era, all classes have long been integrated into the flesh and blood of all people.

Bi Ziyan is not fighting against a single interest group, but against the entire class in the world.

It's a pity that his hands don't have the power to crush the world like Zhu Youchen.

And if you can't smash the world, you can only be smashed by the power of the world.

The original Daming would gradually sink in such an environment, but now there is an extra variable like Zhu Youchen.

Just when Shen Yongmao and others were about to leave, there was a rush of footsteps in the silent night.

"Den...Den...Den..."

The five ministers who stayed in place frowned and looked over.

The pitch-black night made everyone squint their eyes, and could only see a fuzzy black shadow rushing towards here.

At the same time, a hasty roar came from the night in front of them.

"Southeast Jinyiwei urgent report!"

"Don't close the door and lock it!"

Hearing this, Shen Yongmao and others were all startled, Southeast urgent report?

The battle between Zhu Xieyuan and the rebels in Shuixi?

Or... King Gui Zhu Youchen?

The news that Jin Yiwei can rush to the palace will definitely not be ordinary news.

These thoughts flashed through everyone's minds, but the movements of the few of them were not slow, and they immediately turned their heads and shouted at the city gate that was gradually closing behind them:

"Don't close the door."

"Jin Yiwei has an urgent report from the southeast to submit to His Majesty."

"Stop, don't close the door."

Their roars immediately alarmed the running figure, and the already hasty footsteps became even more hasty and loud.

However, the Forbidden Army soldiers guarding the Forbidden City ignored it at all and continued to close the city gates.

Shen Yongmao shouted directly and forcefully: "I am the Secretary of the Ministry of War, you stop immediately."

But as soon as he finished speaking, a cold voice came from behind the city gate:

"When the time comes, the Forbidden Palace will be closed and locked to isolate China and foreign countries. Nothing can stop the big things. If the time is delayed, we will all be copied and executed! Let alone the Minister of the Ministry of War, the emperor will not be able to do it. This is the Great Ming Patriarch system!"

While speaking, the heavy palace door was completely closed with a muffled bang.

The inside and outside of the palace were completely separated into two worlds.

The man who had been running became weaker when he heard the sound, and fell to the ground panting for breath, but still struggled to stand up and rushed to the city gate.

"Open the door, open the door quickly! Jin Yiwei Feige urgently reports to His Majesty. It is urgent to report to His Majesty immediately!!!"

At this moment, Shen Yongmao and the others saw through the torch on the top of the city that the person who came was a General Banner of Jinyiwei.

While lying on the crack of the door and roaring, he kept beating on the city gate, making a bang bang sound.

In an instant, the cold voice just now sounded again inside the city gate:

"Don't be presumptuous! If you break the palace ban again, you will be shot to death immediately!"

While speaking, several archers with bent bows and arrows immediately appeared on the wall of the palace, and the sharp arrows of the arrows were like dots of cold stars in the firelight.

In an instant, a murderous air rose outside the palace city, and murderous intent pervaded the air.

Immediately, Jinyi General Banner, who was beating the city gate, retreated helplessly, but his face was full of eagerness and anxiety.

The next moment, all the archers on the palace wall disappeared, Shen Yongmao and others looked at each other, and immediately surrounded them.

They had already heard the words Flying Pigeon Emergency Report just now, which was faster and more urgent than the Babaili Emergency Report.

"Jin Yiwei even used such means. It is urgent, this matter is definitely not easy."

Everyone felt dignified in their hearts, and at the same time wondered what the news was.

Although they can't read Jinyiwei's emergency report, they can find out some from the Jinyiwei General Banner in front of them.

The next moment, five people surrounded him, and Shen Yongmao asked directly, "Who is the news about?"

Jinyiwei General Banner raised his head when he heard the sound, his eyes were shocked, only then did he suddenly realize that it was the six ministers who spoke just now.
