Chapter 205 The emperor’s words are shared by the sun and the moon
When they arrived at the Yangxin Hall, they entered the Imperial Study Room and saw that the emperor had already sat down with a serious expression on his face.
Yang Tinghe no longer suppressed his doubts: "I was appointed as the third Duke before I became an official, and I was even given the title of a public servant in the palace. I didn't join the court. What's so strange about Li Xiang's affairs? Why did Your Majesty handle it like this?"
After saying that, he looked at Wang Qiong and the others: "Why are you making noise again?"
The reason why he resolutely resigned before was not because he was under too much pressure and wanted to run away, but because he had other judgments and thought that would be better.
"Huang Jin, close the door. The rest of the crowd will be sent away a hundred steps away."
As soon as Zhu Houcong said these words, everyone couldn't help but look solemn.
After Huang Jin went out for a while and came back, Zhu Houcong said calmly: "I am the one who forced the emperor and his ministers in the royal study to come out. I know it very well."
Yang Tinghe was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but said: "With all the trouble in Guangdong, I have become the leader of the new party in both the government and the public; Dehua and others have their own mistakes, Cui Zuojun and Jiufeng Gong are both relatives of the country, and Fei Zichong has already
Your Majesty's decision is clear, Wang Bo'an respects your Majesty's knowledge! Your Majesty's plans are thorough, and it is true that you will return to your original intention!"
He may have felt that his tone was too strong, so he softened it before saying hesitantly: "I have been thinking very hard over the past year or so. Under the current situation, Your Majesty is ready to take up the official position, and the new law will not be shelved. I speak out boldly, even if Your Majesty
If you want to cut down the feudal vassalage, it’s not that difficult now!”
Everyone could hear that Yang Tinghe was indeed very resentful.
Wang Qiong looked at the emperor and suddenly said: "I thought that Yang Ge had gone astray."
Yang Tinghe was also angry with him. Hearing this, he asked back: "Please tell me!"
"I dare to make an analysis." Wang Qiong bowed to Zhu Houcong first, and then said after thinking for a moment, "The capital camp has just been established. As Jie Fu said, with Fei Zichong in the middle of planning, the old party will not be able to overturn the world. Even if it is determined to cut down the feudal vassal,
If we work together with one heart, the world will not be in chaos."
Zhu Houcong remained silent. Wang Qiong was the first to stand up and follow Zhu Houcong's wishes. Zhu Houcong wanted to see if he had seen through it.
Wang Qiong looked at the emperor again and continued: "Your Majesty and we all know that there are still several laws in the new law that have not been announced to the public. Even if the laws are now very different from those of previous dynasties. This year's controversy over practical studies, after the tax levy in Guangdong
, what people from all walks of life will do, we must not rely solely on our own will, and the hastily trained Jingying camp will be able to sit back and relax. Don't forget, the system of guarding and garrisoning is not dare to be touched lightly!"
Yang Tinghe frowned: before, the palace was at the forefront of the storm, but it had forgotten how the Tianxia Guards responded to the new law.
"Why can't the household registration law mentioned by your majesty be mentioned now? The main reason is because of the military household! Whether the new law can be implemented now depends on the transfer of people, money, and power. The increase of so many officials is mostly to deal with the future of the people of the world.
It is not restricted by household registration and is not restricted by excessive road guidance."
Wang Qiong paused and then said: "Then Qian Fa and Ku Fa want to manage the world's wealth better and live more efficiently. All these things are not easily done now, so why? The world can't be said to have peace of mind.
I don’t necessarily have any doubts in my heart whether this new method that I have never heard of before can be achieved.”
He saluted Zhu Houcong: "I have been the Minister of Household Affairs for many years, and I have studied the new law countless times in the past two years. In my opinion, if any part of this new law is not implemented thoroughly, all the previous efforts will be wasted. If we can get to that point,
That requires not only the monarchs and ministers in the imperial study to be united, but also the people in the world who think it is good!"
"As soon as the practical science comes out, it is time to make achievements in physics. Housekeepers, craftsmen, and businessmen are actually the new force in the Ming Dynasty to create wealth in the future besides farmers. For these people, His Majesty's mere establishment of a Wanfa Pavilion is not enough to demonstrate their application.
Have honor."
Wang Qiong finally looked at Yang Tinghe and said coldly: "The number of officials in the world is at least ten times greater, and a group of physical talents of the country have been added. Does Mr. Ge think that the world can be bloodless, and so many people can enjoy it by getting rid of many people?"
Your Majesty, you wholeheartedly agree with the new law? Moreover, even if your Majesty is determined to eliminate the hidden dangers in the clan, how can you take the initiative to do so like Wuming?"
Yang Tinghe remained silent.
He has already taken the blame for getting rid of the Zhang brothers; if His Majesty wants to eliminate hidden dangers in the clan, do you need to use the new law to let him continue to take the blame?
Wang Qiong pointed out a point that cannot be ignored: military settlements.
After the gentry's taxes and levies are lifted, will the military settlements be the next one? It would be strange for those who still have hope of overthrowing the New Party not to stir up trouble on the sensitive issue of military settlements.
However, after previous discussions, the new law only implemented the current ones. Is it true that the emperor will still attack the military garrison in the future as Wang Qiong analyzed? Wouldn't he recruit soldiers outside the garrison and pay them to win their favor?
"Did His Majesty really make such a plan as the Heavenly Official said?" Yang Tinghe asked bluntly.
Zhu Houcong nodded: "Since Mr. Yang Ge has received my reward, today I am preparing to make my heart known to you. It has been one hundred and fifty-eight years since the founding of the country. There is no way to rebuild the world. New methods are only tried and failed, and they are just trying to survive.
.A hundred years from now, I’m afraid I will be completely different.”
Yang Tinghe looked at him with a complicated expression.
Rebuilding the universe... is it such a big deal? Do you really want to establish a law for all eternity?
With these current practices, it can be regarded as a huge restructuring. Is it really like what Wang Qiong said, if one link is missing, all the previous efforts will be wasted?
"The clan, the relatives, the military generals, the officials and the gentry." Zhu Houcong said calmly, "Nowadays, the wealth in the world can be said to be obtained by the hard work of the people, supporting the entire Ming Dynasty. Starting with taxes and servitude, we can briefly explain the suffering, which only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. What I need
, these four categories of people who enjoy success will be able to create wealth for the Ming Dynasty in the future."
"...Slow down the plan, and things will go smoothly if you slow down!" Yang Tinghe said earnestly, "Now the food and wages are not ready, the war is going on, internal and external troubles are coming, and the people's lives are in ruins. Why does your Majesty always think of completing his work in one battle?"
"It's not that dangerous." Zhu Houcong shook his head, "Do you still remember the three-year national policy of checking water conservancy and flood disasters that you set before?"
They were all stunned for a moment, and Li Hao couldn't help but said: "But the vassals gave Tiannei..."
Yang Tinghe immediately asked: "What happened to the fields granted by the vassals?"
Zhu Houcong answered on his behalf: "It is not just the vassals that grant fields. It should be said that the fields in the world are now roughly divided into two categories: the fields of poor people and the fields of powerful and powerful households. In today's farming, in addition to relying on the sky, much of the harvest is due to irrigation.
Water? The world is undergoing a major overhaul of water conservancy. Can people now enjoy the convenience of their fields?"
Seeing that they were silent, Zhu Houcong said clearly: "Cut roads, change canals, and dig pools to store water. Even if local water conservancy projects are built by themselves, most of them benefit the rich and powerful."
"...What does this matter have to do with not being so dangerous?" Yang Tinghe didn't understand.
"Those who win the hearts and minds of the people win the world." Zhu Houcong looked at Yang Tinghe and said, "Mr. Yang Ge, you need to be braver. Reinvent water conservancy throughout the world to make it convenient for the people. Doesn't this mean that Jiajing's new law was implemented in other provinces five years ago? Yang
Since Mr. Ge already has power over the government and the public, in the name of this, he will first win the hearts and minds of the people in the provinces, and then investigate and deal with the powerful officials in the provinces who are blocking him. Is it natural?"
"...What if the vassal king grants water conservancy to the fields?" Yang Tinghe understood the meaning. The instigation of the people was the source of the chaos. If the people thought the new law was good, then the only ones worth worrying about were the guards.
Zhu Houcong said calmly: "I know that the burden on Mr. Yangge's shoulders is heavy, so I made the agreement with the Ancestral Temple. It is not a lie. If I don't do it myself, it will be a real delay. If the world confirms that the new law is mine at this time,
Determination, conservative officials, corrupt military generals and vassal kings will not hesitate to join forces. The report of Li Xiang's death by the Jin Yiwei and the inner factory is indeed as stated in my palace. This must be someone throwing stones to ask for directions to confirm the situation. Now like this, Yang Ge
The boss can re-examine the name of the water conservancy in the world, and I will punish them one by one according to the wishes of the elder, just like today's court meeting."
Yang Tinghe looked at him with a complicated expression: "Your Majesty, I am really old. I cannot bear the reputation of being the most powerful traitor in history."
"Where have we come from now? The power of Mr. Ge at this time is far worse than that of the powerful traitors in the history books. What are you afraid of? In the future, when you have succeeded and retired and returned to power, the world will naturally understand Mr. Ge's painstaking efforts and spread the praise of Mr. Ge.
Zhu Houcong laughed, "It's windy and rainy now, but the sun will shine brightly tomorrow."
Yang Tinghe said nothing.
Zhu Houcong put away his smile and said seriously: "You think I am in a hurry, but Mr. Yang Ge's words just now made the key point clear."
They all looked over, and Zhu Houcong said: "I can indeed handle it one by one slowly. I am indeed young, but you are not young anymore. In three or five years, you will be old and newly promoted to important ministers. How can it be done?"
You have such a high reputation as a minister? Even if Zhang Fujing was able to participate in national policy at that time, how could everyone be a mainstay of the court for many years?"
Time waits for no one. Although the new law will take many years to be effective, how long will it take to wait for a good opportunity like now to lay the foundation?
Wouldn't it be nice if all the people who helped him implement the new law had great reputations?
The power of the Eighteen Arhats is much stronger than that of the Eighteen Monks.
Yang Tinghe, Wang Qiong and others all looked at his young face and had to admit this.
Everyone here, including Yang Yiqing, Fei Hong, and Wang Shouren who are not here now, are all important ministers who have been famous in both the government and the public since the Zhengde Dynasty.
If something really happened, their disciples and their old friends would be able to suppress it all over the world.
In a few years, they will grow old, die, and retire. Will the new batch of consultants still have such prestige?
It will be more than ten years before their reputation grows.
Although they thought such a time span was normal, the emperor obviously didn't see it that way.
Everyone thought of the Great Wall on the Nanyang Sea. The Beijing camp that was preparing its troops first was probably not prepared for a naval battle. Then there was the north...
Zhu Houcong looked at them and said: "I finally brought you back to your heart. No matter what means I used, you are on the road to the new law after all. If the new law is completed, it will be of great benefit to the people. You will not fail to see this."
A little bit. So I say, it’s not that dangerous.”
"Although I have the intention to restrain my clan members, harm the people and seize their own interests, I believe that my ancestors and clans can understand my painstaking efforts for the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, I can swear an oath in the name of my ancestors and clans today." Zhu Houhuang stared at Yang Tinghe, "
If you and others can help me rebuild the Ming Dynasty, I will live up to you in the future. The emperor's words will be reflected by the sun and the moon!"
Wei Bin, Chen Jin, Guo Xun, Wang Qiong and others who are still alive and kicking all prove Zhu Houcong's trustworthiness.
Now, Zhu Houcong made a new promise to them, emphasizing the promise to Yang Tinghe to the Ancestral Temple.
Yang Tinghe felt that he was being manipulated.
Indeed, I felt a little moved in my heart.
He was thinking: Yang Yiqing was restraining the northwest frontier army in the border town, and the 150,000-yuan capital camp had been recruited. The treasury was being spent like water, but the emperor was no longer as stingy as his cousin in taking money from the inner treasury.
That guy Fei Hong should be able to see the situation clearly. If he is really evil, Your Majesty will not hesitate to completely eradicate him.
Zhenyuanhou who guards Huguang, Zhu Qi who guards Guangdong and Guangxi...
It seems that none of the remaining vassal kings can succeed. This summer, Wang Shouren can come out again.
As for the guardsmen in the southeast who were unable to defeat more than a hundred Japanese pirates...
He gritted his teeth: "Then let me try to be a 'power traitor'! It's just that Your Majesty, Nanzhili needs to have a safe arrangement!"
Zhu Houcong said unceremoniously: "The capital camp has just been formed, and Marquis Wu Ding went south to defend Nanjing."
Yang Tinghe opened his mouth: Why does it seem that I have forced away another loyal minister to the emperor?
