WLi Dongyang's words not only express his own thoughts, but also express a truth that has not changed in ancient and modern times.
There is no right or wrong in the struggle. There are no good people or bad people on both sides of the struggle. Morality is just a decoration. The reason why Li Dongyang stands on the opposite side of Liu Chengfeng is not that there are any flaws in Liu Chengfeng's morality, or how he is unforgivable. This is not
The key to the problem is that Li Dongyang only believes in the cabinet, and this is his position.
Liu Jian was also excited after hearing Li Dongyang's words: "Yes, Binzhi's words are shocking, I'm taught."
He took the word "teaching" very seriously. Generally speaking, the word "teaching" sometimes has a bit of ridicule, but Liu Jian said it solemnly, telling Li Dongyang what Li Dongyang said.
Very useful.
Liu Jian then looked solemn: "Your Majesty issued a warning, but it was just a test. Although he suspected that you and I were the instigators of this matter, he was not sure. Now Liu Chengfeng may return to Beijing at any time and cannot delay it anymore.
Once Liu Chengfeng returns to Beijing, he will lose everything. Binzhi, please continue to do so and make more efforts, and the time will not be delayed."
Li Dongyang said seriously: "This matter is easy to deal with, I will go and say hello later."
In November, the cold wind was biting, but the biting cold wind did not blow out the enthusiasm for remarks in the capital.
In the great victory in Jiangxi, Duke Lian defeated King Ning in one fell swoop. More than 170 royal family members from Ning and the royal family were killed. The remaining rebels were escorted to the capital.
After this, the matter of King Ning finally came to an end. This ambitious vassal king had completely calmed down as his heart stopped beating.
People always die, but the death of King Ning is quite a bit shocking. Liu Chengfeng is also cruel enough. More than a hundred royal families can kill them at any time, and they also advise those ambitious people in the world.
, there is no way out for rebellion. If you want to realize your ambition, you must bear the consequences.
Of course, some people questioned that Liu Chengfeng was too serious in killing. In addition, the incident in Lianzhou was fueled by the fire, and some people were pointing out behind the scenes, and it seemed that many people were accusing him.
In fact, what Liu Chengfeng did really scared many people. Because they found that this guy was unruly. For many people, the most terrifying thing was such unruly people.
Even if it was the Jingnan King of Yan, the emperor Zhu Yunwen at that time said that he should not hurt the King of Yan. The King of Yan had never attacked any of the royal family members. Even the battle for the imperial power of Emperor Yingzong Zhu Qizhen was just
It's just house arrest, and it's unheard of for massacres of royal families on a large scale.
This is the rule. This rule is just like the literati and doctors who are not punished by doctors, and the private property proposed by merchants in later generations is not violated. It is a golden rule formulated by vested interests. The golden rule naturally protects itself from infringement.
Whoever breaks this rule is a very bad thing.
Today, Liu Chengfeng broke the rules, and even the royal family said that they would kill them. So tomorrow will they break the rules of the literati and officials, and they will punish the literati and officials with humiliation? Today, someone broke the rules of the royal family, and tomorrow will be natural.
Some people want to break the rules of the literati and officials. There is such a person in the court, which naturally aroused many people's concerns.
So the public opinion in the capital became fierce again. Some people scolded, some applauded, and all they said, but in the court, the matter related to Lianzhou was obviously not over yet, and memorials were repeated one after another.
The ministers threatened to resign and gradually joined more and more, so that even some powerful figures appeared.
At the same time, the memorial from Jiangxi had been heard, and Liu Chengfeng finally had an echo in response to the emperor's secret decree.
The emperor hoped to calm down the situation and let Liu Chengfeng return to those unowned lands in a negotiated tone, while Liu Chengfeng's echo was very simple - never compromise.
In the memorial, Liu Chengfeng made clear the cause and effect of the matter very clearly. Lianzhou is no longer the Lianzhou in the past. It doesn’t matter if it was the remote countryside in the past. However, in today’s Lianzhou, the so-called occupied land, has already been
A large number of people are over a million, most of them are Han people. A large number of merchants have purchased land there and invested in them. The livelihoods of countless people are maintained on this land. Once the land is returned to Annan, then Annan
People have picked up a big advantage, and their national strength has to be increased at least. Moreover, the orders in Lianzhou have changed every day, first attracted merchants to invest, but now this happened again. The merchants have lost all their money, but they have lost a lot of money.
After the merchant goes bankrupt, it will even cause a crisis throughout the world.
Liu Chengfeng described this scene. A large number of merchants in Lianzhou went bankrupt and millions of people lost the land they depend on for survival. Then these people would inevitably pour into various places. For them, the countryside had no place to stand.
Then the only direction is the cities. In addition, this unfavorable news is very likely to make merchants lose their confidence in investment. Various workshops will go bankrupt one after another, and a large number of craftsmen and apprentices will become refugees. Here
Under such circumstances, things are not the problem of Lianzhou, and they will inevitably cause trouble to the world.
Behind the memorial, Liu Chengfeng cunnedly put a high hat on the emperor, saying that the emperor was wise and kind, and loved the people's children. How could he see them wandering? Because of the views of some corrupt scholars, the people lost their livelihoods.
Of course, Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but talk about tax revenue. Once turmoil, whether it is Lianzhou, Jubao Building or Commercial Bank, the profits of each year will continue to decline. In other words, the dividends to the court will also plummet. The emperor should take the overall situation as a matter of
It is important to not listen to the words of corrupt scholars and bring disaster to future generations.
Now the imperial court has shown signs of spending money. In fact, this is a very serious matter. In the past, when there was no money, the expenses were small, but now there are many places to spend money. In the past, the imperial court did not care about building roads or river embankments.
If you can maintain it, it depends on whether the local government can squeeze out some money. Just find a broken City God Temple.
But now it’s different. With money, the court’s expenses have become increasingly large, such as rebuilding river embankments in various places, building roads, building schools, giving subsidies to some poor scholars, and even military pay is not the same as before.
Same.
It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance to frugality. At present, these things need to be continuously invested. Once the flowers are cut in half, these so-called roads, river embankments, schools, and new troops have become castles in the air.
The emperor didn't know much about these influences, but Liu Chengfeng was an expert in this field after all. He said there would be an impact, and the emperor believed it deeply.
In other words, if Liu Chengfeng wants to return the land, the palace must be prepared for the severe winter. Not only will the current prosperity be gone, but it is also likely to lead to turmoil.
In fact, Liu Chengfeng didn't need to say so much nonsense. As long as their position is firm, it would be impossible for the palace to force him to return the land. After all, he is a meritorious minister.
So the next thing started to be in a dilemma. The court was making a big fuss, and there was no sign of giving in at all. It seemed that if the palace or Liu Chengfeng did not retreat, they would have to give up. And Liu Cheng was going to give up.
The wind side is also a warning that you must not give in. If you give in, the consequences will be very serious.
The palace has now become a young wife, and it seems that there is no room for maneuver when she is caught in the middle.
Under such circumstances, Zhu Youzhe, who was on the sickbed, obviously realized that if this problem is not solved immediately, it is very likely that things will be even worse.
At the same time, the palace seemed very unfriendly, and there were already signs of this. For example, on the second day of November, the palace issued an order to talk about many precautions for the Beijing Inspection this year.
Beijing inspection is an assessment of the officials of the capital. In the past, it was once every three years. After Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne, it was changed to once every year. Under normal circumstances, the Ministry of Personnel was the one who led the Beijing inspection, and sometimes there were also major scholars involved.
Sometimes, Jingcha is a powerful tool to eliminate dissidents, but sometimes it is a formality.
After all, if everyone does not have deep hatred, no one is willing to offend people to death, so they will be more concerned about other people's face. Everyone is in this circle, and they will not see each other's heads down. If you wear small shoes for others, if they lose their official position
Or if you are demoted, you will definitely hold a grudge against you for the rest of your life. Everyone has relatives and friends and relationships. When the time comes, the people will be defeated. What good ending will you have?
So unless it was absolutely necessary, Jingcha was a formality, just like a child playing house, he fooled it.
The last time the emperor suddenly asked about the Beijing inspection was because the Grand Secretary Liu Ji was specifically used to attack Liu Ji's followers. However, this time he suddenly asked about it, which was obviously because of the bad intention of the visit, which was quite threatening.
This means to tell everyone that things should not be too much, otherwise the palace will also deal with people.
Unfortunately, this threat seems to be useless. Because if this decree continues, Ma Wensheng, the Minister of Personnel, immediately submitted a memorial saying that it is a good thing for the emperor to attach importance to the inspection of the capital. Some officials in the capital have indeed been arbitrary and illegal recently, and the Ministry of Personnel must do their best.
Do your duty.
It seems that this memorial is nothing special, but those who are interested understand it. This memorial only mentions the emperor, saying that it is a good thing to attach importance to Beijing inspection, but the rest is about how the Ministry of Personnel will carry out Beijing inspection.
There is no intention of sharing the worries for the emperor at all.
What does this mean? It means that Ma Wensheng told the emperor that the emperor should pay attention to the Beijing inspection, and the ministers would naturally work hard. However, the emperor wanted to use the Beijing inspection to cut off some disobedient ministers, and the ministers did not dare to obey the orders.
