cough cough.

"My dear ministers, please stop beating me."

Ren Hao coughed twice, and all the ministers stopped and looked at him.

Why is Ren Hao here?

When the ministers reacted and looked at Ren Hao sitting on the throne, they were all shocked.

Xu Tianyin reacted the fastest, and turned the tables and glared, "Ren Hao, you are so bold. His Majesty trusts you so much, and you actually dare to treat the Censorate as a brothel."

"Oh yes, Ren Hao, you are so bold that you actually treated this place as a brothel and deliberately set a trap for our son."

"What is your intention?" All the ministers reacted and started to put the blame on others.

Ren Hao, who was sitting in the hall, couldn't help laughing when he saw the ministers putting the blame on others.

"Am I so brave, or is your good son braver? You can ask, did I invite them here, or were they invited by the Lord Zhongcheng?"

Ren Hao pointed at Chen Tailiang.

"Ren Sikong, you..." Censor Chen also wanted to turn the tables, but when he saw his disappointing son, how could he have the nerve to confuse right and wrong.

"You're a rebellious son!!!"

"You've lost all my face!!!" Censor Chen was so angry that he slapped Chen Tailiang twice on the spot.

Chen Tailiang didn't dare to say a word and lowered his head, looking like he knew he was wrong.

"Who invited you here?" Xu Tianyin and other ministers asked their son.

As long as they insist that they were invited by Ren Hao, then the matter can be turned into a mystery by relying on their numbers. Even if His Majesty knows about it, the matter can be left unresolved in the end.

But if they said they were invited by Chen Tailiang, then they were doomed.

Although Xu Tianyin and other ministers frequently signaled to their son with their eyes.

But these playboys were first frightened by Ren Hao, and then beaten up by their own father, so their brains have long been useless.

They all said that they were invited by Chen Tailiang, which made Xu Tianyin and other ministers very angry. They slapped their rebellious sons on the spot. Isn't this pushing the entire family into the fire pit?

Ren Hao laughed loudly and scolded the ministers, "You should take your sons back home quickly, and stop embarrassing yourself."

"As for what happened tonight, I know nothing about it. I just drank too much and was sleepwalking." After Ren Hao finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass, drank the whole glass in one gulp, and then pretended to be drunk while lying on the table.

do not know anything?

All the ministers were stunned and had no idea what Ren Hao was up to.

"Yes, yes, it was Lord Sikong who got drunk and sleepwalked." Censor Chen was the first to react and agreed. Other ministers also echoed him and then ran away with their rebellious son.

After all the ministers had left with their rebellious sons, Censor Chen drove Chen Tailiang away but did not leave and still stood in the hall.

He knew that Ren Hao was willing to let this matter go and not report it to His Majesty, and that he must have a purpose.

"Ren Sikong, you should stop pretending to be drunk." Censor Chen walked up to the seat and knocked on the table.

Ha ha.

"Your Excellency the Censor, why don't you leave?" Ren Hao sat up after hearing that.

"If I really leave, what will you do if you report this to His Majesty?"

"Now that you have the leverage over us, tell me what your conditions are." Censor Chen went straight to the point and didn't want to beat around the bush with Ren Hao.

After all, we are all foxes.

"That's very straightforward. I do have something to ask for." Ren Hao nodded without hiding anything. He told Chen Yushi and others about the reform of the land system and demanded their support.

When Censor Chen heard that under the land grant system there would be a public land system, requiring the common people to reclaim wasteland and own land, he was so frightened that his hands began to tremble.

"Forget it. You should report this matter to the higher authorities. At worst, this old man and my rebellious son will take full responsibility." Censor Chen shook his head and absolutely did not agree with changing the land system.

If he led the entire aristocratic family to support the reform of the land system, he would be making an enemy of the princes and aristocratic families, and their Chen family would probably have no place to stand in the future.

"Imperial Censor Chen, why are you still so confused at your age?" Ren Hao couldn't help but laugh, and his direct refusal was also within Ren Hao's expectations.

"I am confused?"

"I think you are the one who has lost your mind because you rely on His Majesty's favor." Censor Chen immediately rolled his eyes at Ren Hao. The Han Dynasty was built on the basis of the gentry, princes, nobles, and aristocratic families.

And Ren Hao actually instigated Your Majesty to change the land system and go against the entire class. It is no exaggeration to say that changing the land system would provoke resistance from the entire class.

The court was already in turmoil and there were wars abroad. Once this aroused resistance from the entire class, the Han Dynasty would be doomed.

"I'm not crazy. I'm helping you build a career and ensure your Chen family's survival and the chance to go down in history." Ren Hao began to paint a big picture for Censor Chen.

But how could the old fox Chen Yushi easily eat this big cake? Instead, he laughed disdainfully and said, "Don't talk about opportunities. You are creating an opportunity for yourself to make achievements, and you are using our Chen family, oh no, the entire aristocratic family, as a stepping stone."

"Censor Chen, why don't you understand?"

"How many more years can you hold the position of Censor? After a hundred years, do you think your unpromising son will be able to support the entire Chen family?"

"I'm afraid that after a hundred years of waiting, your son's position as the chancellor may not be secure."

"Don't you know what His Majesty did to your son? He just turned a blind eye to it for your sake."

"But after a hundred years, when His Majesty wants to settle accounts with you, you won't have a chance."

and so.

"Before you die, leave a way out for your son. At least after you die, His Majesty will remember your contributions in supporting reform and will spare your son's life."

After Ren Hao finished his threats, he patted Censor Chen on the shoulder and told him to think it over carefully.

Censor Chen remained silent for a long time, feeling as if there was a stone pressing on his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.

In the end he picked up the wine glass, but there was no more grass in it.

Ren Hao picked up the wine jug and poured another glass for Censor Chen.

Censor Chen was not satisfied after drinking the whole bottle, so he snatched the wine pot from Ren Hao's hand and drank all the grass in the pot.

"what……"

Censor Chen let out a long sigh, finally ending his inner struggle and making a decision.

He really should prepare a way out for his rebellious son.

Although Censor Chen didn't say anything, his tired expression made Ren Hao understand that he already supported the land system reform.

As for lobbying other aristocratic ministers for their support, that was his business.
