The emperor's resolute attitude made the iron hats furious and dissatisfied.
However, no matter how dissatisfied they were, they did not dare to show anything and could only leave.
The Gong Prince was overjoyed. In his eyes, the Emperor of Guang Dong was digging his own grave!
Offending these Iron Hat Kings meant offending most of the nobles! This was also going against the ruling class!
And these people were the foundation of the Ming Empire's rule.
If everyone objected to the emperor, would he still be able to sit on the throne? That was obviously wishful thinking.
With that, the Gong Prince felt like he was one step closer to the throne.
However, the Gong Prince was gravely mistaken. The Emperor of Guang Zhou never thought that these people were the foundation of the Ming Empire's rule, especially the current nobles.
The current nobles were mostly useless. They only knew how to fight cocks and walk dogs, wasting so much of the Ming Empire's taxes.
Next, he planned to abolish the hardcore crops of the nobles so that these nobles would no longer be parasites and vampires of the Ming Empire and let them be self-reliant. In this way, not only would it greatly reduce the burden on the imperial court, but it would also greatly reduce the burden on the imperial court. At the same time, it would also allow the nobles to develop again, so that they would not have to wait for death.
The Iron Hat King entered the palace to persuade the Emperor of Guang Dong, but he failed. This caused a great uproar among the nobles and the important officials of the Ming Empire.
Especially the nobles, they all brought up the ancestral system and thought that the Emperor of Guang Dong was violating the ancestral system and disrespecting the ancestral etiquette. There were even some radical people who had proposed to reconvene the meeting of the king and ministers to remove the emperor from his throne.
But even so, it had created a bad influence among the nobles.
There were even people who regarded the Emperor of Guang Yue as a fatuous ruler. They believed that if the Ming Empire was destroyed, it would definitely be the Emperor of Guang Yue's fault.
Of course, the Gong Prince's henchmen were naturally fanning the flames.
"Emperor, this matter has already become very big. If we let it go, it will definitely become more and more intense and have a very big impact. Not only will this affect your reputation, but it will also shake your rule.”Li Shaoquan was very anxious.
He was already seen as a henchman of the Emperor of Guang Yue. If the Emperor of Guang Yue fell, would he have a good ending?
"I know," the emperor nodded."There must be some confidence behind this. Otherwise, no one would care so much about it.”
Li Shaoquan nodded repeatedly.
"I know, this is the Gong Prince's people playing tricks. It's just that there's no evidence." The emperor continued.
He knew very well that the Gong Prince's existence was a ticking time bomb. He had to find a way to get rid of him.
However, the Gong Prince had great influence among the nobles, the banners, and even the court. If they acted against the Gong Prince without any evidence, it would definitely cause a commotion. If that was the case, it would also be detrimental to the rule of Emperor Guang Dong.
"Emperor, why don't we retreat for the time being and take back our orders! In that case, they had no reason to do so.”Li Shaoquan suggested.
"No, I can't retreat." The emperor shook his head. Once I retreat, they will think that I am easy to bully and press on step by step. Therefore, not only can I not back down, but I also have to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys!”
Li Shaoquan immediately frowned. In his opinion, the Emperor of Guang Dong's actions were a little too radical.
In the officialdom of the Ming Empire, it was often important to be in harmony with each other.
There were very few emperors who would be as ruthless as the Emperor of Guang Dong.
In fact, the Emperor of Guang Dong had made this decision after much consideration.
The Iron Hat Kings and even the nobles who had caused a ruckus during this period of time had people supporting them. In fact, they themselves did not have the courage to do so.
If he were to kill a heavyweight at this time…Then, it would definitely scare these guys to death.
These people naturally did not dare to make any more moves.
In fact, there would probably be many people who would agree with the Emperor's decision to cut his braids.
As for the target, the Emperor of Guang Dong had already thought of it.
That was the Qing Prince who was known as the greatest corrupt official. This fellow had previously relied on the support of the Empress Dowager of the West to buy and sell official positions wantonly, accumulating a wealth of hundreds of millions of taels of silver.
One had to know that the Ming Empire's annual financial income was only over 80 million taels of silver! His family property was already higher than the financial income of the Ming Empire.
If the Emperor of Guang Dong wasn't staring at him, then who was?
The emperor of Guang Dong was so poor that he was going crazy!
