662 Throwing stones to ask for directions
Why did Tian instigate the Son of Heaven's army to besiege the Prime Minister's Yamen? In fact, even he himself could not figure it out, and later a Western historian interviewed him, but Tian couldn't understand what he said for a long time.
In fact, the comrades-in-arms who know this guy have said very clearly, this guy is a fiery temper, he is purely because he is not used to seeing the prime minister's decree tampered with and abolished, and in his eyes, every word that the prime minister says is a holy decree.
"The Prime Minister's health regulations in Beijing, aren't that for your good? The Longxugou renovation plan has made you full of people and have face-saving and affordable, and a stinky ditch has actually become a bustling commercial street, isn't this good governance?"
"You all make a lot of money, and the prime minister also arranged a red armband to supervise the sanitation of the whole city, and you can exchange it for a clean and tidy Jingshi for a few hundred taels of silver a year, isn't this a good deal?"
"Are they all a bunch of dirty pigs? Just have to be dirty every day? It's strange to say, since becoming this new army, how did I gradually love cleanliness, so that the prime minister was forced to brush his teeth and wash his face every morning and evening, and he had to take a bath once every three days, and now he feels no different from himself when he was farming......
"Isn't it good for the prime minister to let you clean now? I ......am also greedy for a few hundred taels of silver? Well, I heard that women in Sijiu City don't like to take a bath, and some of them wash once or twice in one winter, how dirty is that......"
Tian Cannon's thinking was very jumpy, and there was a long carriage on the side of the war horse, and the emperor's three hundred pro-army took advantage of the night to leave Guangqumen and march towards Tanggu.
Tian's artillery battle and an eventful move by the three hundred pro-army, but they did not expect to plant a seed of instability within the Manchurians. The Manchu people are a group, he is different from the court formed by other Han people, the shadow of the tribal council system in ancient times has not completely dissipated, the so-called eight kings to discuss politics, iron hat kings to participate in politics are the embodiment of this consciousness.
To put it simply, the Aixin Jueluo family learned the Han people's idea of the heavenly gift of monarchy, and used it to consolidate the supreme authority of the emperor, but within the Eight Banners, there will always be a group of people who do not eat this set.
Back then, when Baishan and Heishui raised troops, everyone was a barbecue and wine by the fire, and by the way, the military affairs were discussed, why did you love Xinjueluo's family and stop everyone's opinions? There are still some people in the Eight Banners who are not convinced.
The emperor wants to centralize power, and the Eight Banners want to divide power, so many rights are divided and divided, and whoever has more and who has less is a contradiction. The three generations of emperors of Kang Yongqian were too strong, and all opposition within the Manchu people had been suppressed.
But if you suppress it for a while, you can't suppress it, and the Manchus are not like the Han people who have been brainwashed by thousands of years of emperor's exclusive thinking, and the wildness in them is still there after two hundred years of entering the customs, and the blood is still not a little boiling.
After Kang Yongqian, although the children of the Eight Banners were still loyal to the emperor, they also had more and more small calculations of their own, and there were more and more self-interested behaviors that took care of the small family and forgot everyone, and in the later Guangxu period, the entire Manchu class was loyal to the old woman Cixi, and forgot who the emperor was.
In the final analysis, the Manchu group is a collection of small tribes, and the idea of great unification and centralization is learned from the Han people, and in their bone marrow, they still like to live freely and unfettered tribes.
Of course, it would be great if tribal life could still enjoy the civilized services provided by the Han people.
Tian Da's artillery battle was an unconscious agitation, and the collective action of the three hundred Tianzi's pro-army with resentment made the Manchurian nobles smell a strong smell of danger.
They would never believe that this conflict was the brain-hot behavior of a group of children, in their eyes, Company Commander Tian's actions must have been ordered, either the emperor or the prime minister, and it was more likely that the two of them discussed it.
"The little emperor's trick is to throw stones to ask for directions, Xiao Letian took him out of the Forbidden City, his heart was naturally wild, he found that the entire court could not stop his study tour, so his appetite was even greater......"
"Throwing stones to ask for directions, this is throwing stones to ask for directions, he may want to use this small means to find out where our bottom limit is...... Perhaps he also wants to know who is truly loyal to him......"
"Gao Ming, it's really Gao Ming, I finally figured it out now, three hundred guards are three hundred families, those who obey the order without compromise are naturally loyal ministers in the eyes of the emperor, and those families who steal the pillars are obvious, they are only loyal to their own interests, not the emperor's ......"
"Damn, the Manchu families in Sijiu City say too much, say a lot less, these three hundred households are the touchstone......"
Just when the two princes were worried, a deep voice suddenly came from outside the window, "The problem is not as simple as the prince thought!"
Weng Tongyi, who experienced the turmoil of the emperor's study tour, cultivated for more than a month before his health improved, and this turmoil made him and the upper echelons of the Eight Banners very close, but the original estrangement became an alliance.
Judging from the fact that Weng Tongyi can enter the back hall of the Prime Minister's Yamen at will without having to report it, the relationship between the old man and the two princes is already very close.
"The two princes, Xia Guan has been recuperating at home these days, and he has not been idle, but he has read Xiao Letian's Westward Journey Manga several times, and by the way, he has derived some Western knowledge from this book, and picked some ...... to understand."
"I don't know if I don't see it, I was shocked when I saw it, we all underestimated Xiao Letian too much before, so we suffered such a big loss! These 300 families, he Xiao Letian used the probability method commonly used in the West, which is a category in mathematics......
"I heard the housekeeper say that when there was a conflict outside the Guangqu Gate, only 100 of the 300 guards strictly obeyed the holy decree, and they gathered together to hide aside and did not participate in the conflict at all, and the remaining 200 people were all stolen by the family......"
"That is to say, only thirty-three percent of the Manchu family in the entire Jingshi is truly loyal to the emperor, which is what we commonly call three out of three...... Hehe, what about the rest? It's all wall-riding, wall-grass, and selfish stuff!"
"The little emperor has figured out the depth inside the Eight Banners with a holy decree, and he has now understood that the power of loyalty to him above the court is only thirty percent...... What a clever stone throwing to ask for directions! I believe that there will be many such temptations in the future!"
Yi slammed the gaiwan tea on the table, "The monarch and the ministers are suspicious of each other to this extent, is this still a bit of a holy monarch? Relying on such small means, it is difficult to manipulate the government and become a big weapon!"
Yiyun shook his head, "Hey...... Close the door and say that Hu doesn't have so many scruples, and the emperor has seen through it, don't look at everyone in this court shouting long live, they all say that they are loyal to the emperor, but in fact, who are you loyal to?
"Jaechun is only eleven years old, it is not easy to see through such a profound truth!"
Weng Tongyi sneered and said, "It's not that Xiao Letian instigated, otherwise how could an eleven-year-old child think of such a poisonous plan? The imperial power must be upright and magnificent, and it must rely on benevolence and virtue to influence the courtiers, and this is what people say with virtue...... Now His Majesty's mind has instilled a bunch of small means in Xiao Letian's mind, and those of us who are courtiers will be unlucky in the future......"
"Hey......" The three of them sighed, and finally scolded in unison: "Your Xiao Letian, you should be killed!"
Xiao Letian of the Ryukyus didn't know that he had become the one who carried the black pot for the little emperor, the conscience of heaven and earth, this time the conflict between the Beijing division Xiao Lotian and Zaichun didn't think about it so much at all, the little emperor just wanted to train a pro-army of the Son of Heaven.
Tian's artillery battle and a group of children's reckless behavior caused a serious sense of crisis within the Eight Banners, and a group of guys with ulterior motives began to connect in tandem, and the alliance against the imperial power quietly took shape.
But these Xiao Letian don't know now, he can't sleep because he has been tortured by an ordinary corruption case in front of him. The case was very simple, and the Ryukyus Tobe Shangshu Lin was corrupt.
After Hu Xueyan accepted the emperor's mission and left the barracks, he met the well-known Prime Minister Xiao of the East China Sea at the banquet of the old shopkeeper Fan Yao.
The young and handsome Xiao Letian shocked Hu Xueyan as soon as he appeared, he never expected that Xiao Letian would be so young, and it seemed that he might not be over thirty years old. With such a big career at such an age, will this be worth it in the future?
It is said that it is not easy to see Xiao Letian in the identity of Hu Xueyan, the prime minister of the East China Sea, the emperor, the guest of honor of the king of Europe, a scholar of Western studies, and a famous military strategist, with a dazzling halo that makes people unable to open their eyes.
Hu Xueyan and his shopkeepers hurriedly bowed and kowtowed when they knelt on the ground, but they were dragged up by Xiao Letian before their knees hit the ground.
"It's a shame, it's a shame, you Hu Xueyan is the first businessman in the south of the Yangtze River, and what you do in the world is for the benefit of the country and the people, although you and I have not met, but we have been friends for a long time...... It's a family dinner, don't be polite, sit down and have an extra drink......"
Xiao Letian's harmonious spring breeze made Hu Xueyan sigh, such a big man with such a high profile actually respected himself as a businessman so respectfully.
"The prime minister is in love, he is in love, ......he is in love" At this time, Xiao Lotian suddenly found that there was still a person kneeling on the ground, it was Hu Xueyan's second shopkeeper in charge of Ryukyu business, Zhang Xiaowen.
"Why doesn't this shopkeeper get up yet? Come on, come on, don't be polite, please sit down......"
"The prime minister is above, the little one kowtows to the prime minister, and the small one has grievances to confide in the prime minister!" Zhang Xiaowen's eyes were red.
"The Ryukyu Household Department Shangshu Lin Yuanmiao instructed the housekeeper to ask for bribes from Xiao, and he actually asked for a bribe of 80,000 silver coins for the reconstruction contract of 20 shops in Liangmi Street...... The silk, tea and porcelain trafficked from Jiangnan were also bribed by the steward for more than 20,000 silver coins......"
"Prime Minister, 100,000 silver coins is not a small amount, and I can't explain it to the general number anymore, but Lin Yuanmiao is an important minister of the Ryukyus, and the small one doesn't dare to sue...... I can see the prime minister today, and I am also open-minded! I beg the prime minister to give me justice, the big shopkeeper is here, and the small accounts can't be matched...... Woooooooo
Hu Xueyan was soaked with cold sweat all over his body," Zhang Xiaowen ...... You can't be crazy, it's too rude, Lord Lin is a scholar of the household department, how can you be greedy for this little money, and you won't let me go down......"
100,000 silver coins is a fart for Hu Xueyan! If 100,000 silver coins can be exchanged for the friendship of a high-ranking official, then this deal is too cost-effective, and he now has a big gift for Xiao Letian in his sleeve, worth 200,000 taels of silver Jiangnan land deed.
In the past, Zhang Xiaowen was very shrewd, why did he lose his mind and go crazy today?
Note: Today's update is a little late.,Yesterday I drank a little too much.,There's no code word.,This chapter is written in the morning.,I'm sorry everyone.。
Ay...... The body is not as good as day by day, obviously I haven't drunk too much alcohol, but the body is also very uncomfortable, sleeping dreamy, fatigue, dizziness, and a little panic, it seems that the blood pressure has been a little high recently......
Since the code word in the past few years, the physical fitness has deteriorated, I really don't know how many years I can last, this is really not a lifetime of work......
While it can last for a few years, try to write more for book friends, and if you are willing to join the group, you can add 116253076 atmosphere in the group is active enough, but everyone tries not to talk about too sensitive topics, I really didn't expect the book friends in the group to be so knowledgeable.
If you want to consult about history and war, go to the group and ask, there will definitely be a group of people to talk to you, history, politics, economy, culture, geography...... It's a bunch of cattle!
It's a pity that these cattle people just don't subscribe, which makes me very helpless......
