Chapter 93 The Waters Here Are Too Deep



The more Wei Yunyi thought about it, the more excited he became.

Before, I only thought about my father-in-law's success.

Your luck will definitely increase, so all your efforts will be in vain.

However, they did not realize that the reform would have a huge impact and would not succeed overnight.

The events of Longyang Prefecture have now alarmed the entire Jiangnan gentry. I believe the time for counterattack is not far away.

Moreover, even if my father-in-law’s pilot project is successful, what can he do?

Although your luck will increase a little.

But the gentry in the world.

This will also make you anxious and try to find ways to fight back.

In the end, it will still ruin your luck.

so.

It’s best not to worry about the gains and losses of a city or a place.

To ruin a country's fortune, all aspects must be taken into consideration.

After thinking all this through, Wei Yunyi suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

At the same time, he turned to look at Zhang Zhengming.

At the same time, I couldn't help but sigh, thinking that if I want to be a good tyrant, I still have to rely on the beacon of light in the sea of ​​suffering at the critical moment.

However, he couldn't speak out these thoughts in his mind. He immediately cleared his throat and continued, "I am carrying out reforms for the benefit of the people. So what if those nobles oppose it?"

"Grandmaster, you are not unaware that land annexation is becoming increasingly serious. If this continues, it will inevitably shake the foundation."

"It's a little difficult now, but for the sake of Wei's country, I will push forward no matter what!"

His words were spoken with great righteousness.

"I know what Your Majesty means."

Zhang Zhengming said, "But if we force the reforms now without any preparation, it will be too much. Moreover, even if Longyang Prefecture succeeds, the subsequent implementation will be even more troublesome. In short, the waters here are too complicated. Even the previous emperor couldn't accomplish this..."

"Just because the late emperor couldn't do it doesn't mean I can't do it!"

Wei Yunyi spoke, narrowing his eyes slightly. "This reform is imperative. No matter how difficult the road ahead, I will persist. Master, do you understand what I mean?"

I understand, I understand very well. Your Majesty, you are a truly wise ruler of all ages!

Hearing this, Zhang Zhengming's heart began to tremble.

Because this time.

I not only know your majesty's ambition.

It also witnessed His Majesty's perseverance and indomitable determination.

He couldn't help but even want to kneel down and sincerely praise His Majesty's wisdom.

But Zhang Zhengming knew that he couldn't do that now.

To establish prestige for Your Majesty.

I must oppose it to the end and become that stepping stone.

He immediately continued, his voice trembling, "Your Majesty, if you insist on doing this, I am powerless to stop you. But there is one thing I must say: this reform is doomed to fail. I... take my leave!"

After saying this, Zhang Zhengming bowed slightly, and tears seemed to seep out of the corners of his eyes.

Seeing this, Wei Yunyi suddenly felt a little guilty.

I know that Taifu is truly serving the country and the people...

This is indeed a bit cruel.

But he had no choice.

Ruined luck.

The immortal will come to the world later.

Although many problems will arise in this process.

You can only rely on your own abilities to reduce the damage as much as possible.

Otherwise, once the immortal comes to the world, the whole world will fall into despair. At that time, it will not be as simple as the death of one or two people.

Wei Yunyi knew the situation, so he would never allow this to happen!

So now, I can only let the Grand Tutor suffer.

In the following time...

Make up for it more...

I also understand that this person will eventually understand me.

Although Zhang Zhengming had passed away before the immortal arrived.

Coincidentally, there are elixirs that can prolong life in the system mall.

And it’s not expensive.

Therefore, Wei Yunyi looked at the man who was bowing, waved his hand and said, "Then, Master, go back and rest early."

Zhang Zhengming, without much hesitation, slowly turned around and walked out.

Just after he left the imperial study.

The tears in my eyes suddenly disappeared miraculously.

Instead, he had a look of relief and ease on his face, and he looked very happy.

"Since the official document has been submitted, it means the reform is about to succeed. We don't have to worry about Longyang Prefecture anymore." Zhang Zhengming walked out of the palace, muttering to himself, "But the gentry in the Jiangnan area have been very active recently. We need to find a way to suppress them."

"Well, as for today's argument with Your Majesty, we must also find a way to spread it so that everyone in the world knows that Your Majesty is committed to the well-being of the people and strongly supports the reforms, while I am a conservative and do not support the reforms..."

"In this way, Your Majesty can step on me and your prestige will grow. One day, no one will be able to oppose you..."

As he spoke, Zhang Zhengming's steps seemed to be more relaxed than before.

Just his pale hair.

But compared to a month ago, it seems to be a little more...

And Wei Yunyi stayed in the imperial study.

Because I listened to Zhang Zhengming.

It was decided not to issue an order to stop the father-in-law from distributing the land tax.

Of course, he felt that at this time, he could no longer issue an imperial decree to continue supporting it.

Just wait and see what happens.

At the same time, Wei Yunyi also thought that if he, as the emperor, chose to remain silent at this time, perhaps the gentry would become bolder and choose to go against his father-in-law.

Maybe, in a few days even the pilot project in Longyang Prefecture will not be able to be carried out?

Of course, there is a more important reason why no decree was issued.

Because the capital is thousands of miles away from Longyang.
