It makes sense for the pavilion elder to say this, but Zhang Shoufu still said: "Although what he said makes sense, we still have to take preventive measures. I think we should nip it in the bud and replace His Majesty first. It will cause The bad consequences should be publicized so that those who want to cause trouble can be stopped immediately. "
This method is good, after all, strike first and control others later.
After everyone discussed it, they went back to arrange preventive measures according to the discussed method.
At this moment, the news that the emperor is a woman has been spread to the outside world by people with intentions - such as the Empress Dowager Cai, as well as people in the court who are ambitious and want to take advantage of the dragon - and it has caused discussions among the people. One after another.
After Zhang Shoufu and others returned, they mobilized their respective forces and began to talk about all the negative consequences that would come if the emperor changed.
Sure enough, as soon as the people heard that the new emperor came to power, he might not necessarily start a bank or carry out infrastructure construction, and they were immediately frightened. Even some people were conservative and felt that a woman had to be allowed to be an emperor. Men do it. Once they heard that they would have no money in the future, they would have nothing to do in the future, and they would have to live the hard life before today's accession to the throne, they suddenly became more open-minded. Everyone felt that it didn't matter whether the emperor was a man or a woman. The key was to make the emperor As long as they, the common people, can live a good life.
So soon, this matter spread, and everyone knew that they could not let the empress step down, lest their lives would go backwards.
So when someone was encouraged by Empress Dowager Cai and the careerists and planned to make trouble at the palace gate, they were stopped by those who were unwilling, and a conflict broke out between the two sides and almost started a fight.
The reason why I say it was a close call is because the Beijing Yamen police officers quickly brought the situation under control.
In addition, people from the Navy and the Beijing Camp also took notice and began to control the capital.
Whether it is the Beijing Camp or the Navy, they are all Linlang's people. They have received a notice from Linlang and asked them if they are willing to support her. If they support her to continue to be in office, they will be ready to control the situation in the capital at any time.
Of course they want to support Linlang. After all, there is a new emperor. But they don’t know if they can make money like Linlang. Give them a lot of money. Also, do they want to allow them to continue sea trade? I know that there are still people in the civil service group who are opposed to their going overseas because it affects the interests of some big families in the world.
They were afraid that if the new emperor ascended the throne and was not as powerful as Linlang, he would be fooled by the civil service group. Then all the decisions implemented by Linlang would be invalid, which would be a huge blow to them, so they naturally disagreed. So now that I saw someone trying to cause trouble, I was naturally ready to take action to control the situation.
At this time, it seems that the yamen and the people who support Linlang have controlled the people who were instigated by someone with ulterior motives, or who were sent to cause trouble by someone with ulterior motives. The situation has not worsened, so there will be no problem. Take action.
Seeing that Linlang was under control of the situation, those careerists naturally did not want to fail, so they followed their previous plan and remonstrated when they went to court the next day, saying that Linlang was a woman and not suitable for The emperor suggested that she step down and abdicate the throne to the clan, instead of being stubborn and ruining her reputation; as long as she steps down voluntarily, with all the things she has done, she will still be the noble eldest princess in the future.
After hearing what this man said, Linlang couldn't help but find it funny, and immediately asked the cabinet and other ministers: "What do you think, dear friends?"
The noble eldest princess, in her original world, initially said that as long as The original body abdicated, She wanted to be a princess. As a result, after the original person abdicated the throne, the new emperor imprisoned her and gave her the title of princess in a pretentious manner. Probably because he was afraid that if he didn't give the original princess the title, others would say that they wanted to keep the clan. People who are emperors are not trustworthy.
But since the original person is locked up, is there any use in having the title of princess? And I can't enjoy the treatment of a princess.
So these people are talking about ghosts.
However, after listening to Linlang's inquiry, several people in the current cabinet must have said that there had been female emperors in history, so there is nothing wrong with Linlang being the emperor. Each cabinet has its own people, and they all support Linlang. Most of the ministers in the court naturally support Linlang, so Linlang looked at the ministers who asked her to abdicate and said, "Look, most of the ministers are Those who support me, the minority obeys the majority, and I naturally listen to everyone’s opinions.”
It means that your opinions are in the minority and I will not listen to them.
Those people, seeing what Linlang said, didn’t dare to say anything. After all, this was indeed the truth. It made no sense that most people in the court supported Linlang’s reign, but Linlang had to listen to the minority of them who wanted to oust her. People's words.
Despite this, these people still argued forcefully: "Despite this, Wei Chen and others also persuaded Your Majesty to abdicate for the sake of His Majesty's reputation."
They still did not give up. Well, what has come and gone is that Linlang should abdicate. Only by abdicating can his reputation be good. Otherwise, if he does not abdicate, his reputation will not be good.
Linlang said calmly: "I do things with a clear conscience. As long as the people like it, I don't care about reputation."
The faces of the people listening became ugly.
Linlang deliberately mentioned the word "like" by the people. The meaning is very simple. What I do is liked by the people, which means that what these people do is definitely not liked by the people.
Speaking of which, this is true, because if the people knew that they wanted Linlang to abdicate, they would really not like it.
Will the common people know what these people say? How could he not know? Even without Linlang saying anything, other officials who supported Linlang would also spread these people's words to the people.
So when these officials returned home and these words spread, angry people secretly went to the doors of these houses at night and threw rotten eggs.
When these people go out, they are blocked and scolded by the common people, saying that they just don't like the common people and want to make them live a miserable life, which makes these families dare not go out.
So the issue of Linlang’s identity was successfully resolved.
Some members of the clan heard about Linlang’s identity, and were approached by ambitious ministers. They were tempted, and they even imagined what it would be like to become the emperor. In the end, their dreams ended like this. It was shattered, and many people were really angry. , but they didn’t dare to say anything. After all, people from the Beijing Camp and the Navy were patrolling every day. Not only did they not dare to say anything, they were also afraid that their contact with the ministers who asked them to be emperor would be exposed by these things. If people find out, don't be punished then.
In fact, Linlang, Haijun and others naturally knew about it. After all, they had been watching the changes in the court for a long time. How could they not know which clans had agreed to the plans of the ministers? It was just that Linlang had not dealt with it for the time being. .
That’s right, it hasn’t been dealt with yet, but it will still have to be dealt with later.
That’s it for other clans. The clan that became the emperor in the original world must be dealt with, because this person is really not a thing. After he came to power, he treated the original body like that.
But we can deal with this person later. Let’s take care of Empress Dowager Cai first. (End of this chapter)
