Chapter 530 Killing Chickens and Eggs VS Trickling Water and Flowing Forever
"Your Majesty, the major temples in the capital, as well as some Taoist temples, will hold a meeting tomorrow to prepare to collectively denounce the fallacies and heresies of the Great Fellow Sect."
"Excellent." Emperor Chongzhen said with satisfaction, "The bigger the trouble, the more convenient it will be for us to get more benefits from the Great Yue Kingdom." ”
The matter is indeed very big, so that the stubborn rock, which has just left the city of Beijing, has not gone far? An urgent order was received from the Imperial Cabinet.
This time, he became the plenipotentiary envoy again, but he was no longer responsible for solving the problem of the spread of Datongjiao, but for coordinating and resolving the contradictions that had just erupted between Datong and the monks.
In fact, Wang Anshi had long expected such a day, after all, religious conflicts are not uncommon in world history. However, what he did not expect, the great responsibility of solving this problem, actually fell on his shoulders again.
So, the famous minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, who was praised by Lenin as the greatest reformer of the 11th century, went to his little donkey again and hurried to the city of Beijing.
By the time he returned to the capital, it was already the morning of the next day. Emperor Chongzhen met him at the first time, and to his surprise, the emperor was not wearing his dragon robe, but dressed as an ordinary rich son.
"Xianggong Wang, there are some things we are in the Forbidden City, we can't say clearly, why don't we go out and see how far these things go?"
Wang Anshi suddenly felt bad, according to common sense, even if there was a lot of trouble below, at the level of the emperor, followed by a few words of light and breeze, he could make it clear at the negotiation table, but he had to take himself to see it, that is, he was ready to put pressure on himself in the process.
I can't imagine that this young emperor often has such scheming. But even if he has, he can only be regarded as a child's heart, this kind of clumsy wrist, the reason why he did not take precautions when he played, is precisely because of this, for a mature politician, the way to send a child is always a little awkward, he is familiar with, after all, it is the skilled wrist of a politician of the same grade as him.
"That's good. This business trip is very urgent, before leaving, I really regret that I did not have time to visit the city of Beijing, I did not expect to come back this time, Your Majesty is willing to take the initiative to take the minister to appreciate the style of the capital, Chen Zhen does not know how to thank Your Majesty? ”
The two of them talked and laughed like this, and with their respective entourages, they disguised themselves and dressed up in the Forbidden City.
But they hadn't gone far before they saw a huge crowd of officials. Holding their respective notebooks in their hands, they walked towards the palace on foot.
Emperor Chongzhen looked at Wang Chengen with some puzzlement. The meaning is obviously to ask these people what they are going to do?
The current eunuch boss Wang Chengen immediately replied: "Your Majesty doesn't know anything, they are all ministers who oppose Your Majesty and promote the Great Fellow Religion. Many of them were erudite Confucians, and there were also many of them, who were particularly fond of worshipping Buddhism. They heard that Datong was hungry for a high monk. So the group came and asked His Majesty the Emperor to stop the spread of the teachings of Romana in the empire. ”
Emperor Chongzhen made a look of sudden realization: "There are so many important ministers in Lian I. They all ran out against it. ”
Wang Anshi sneered on the side: "Your Majesty, I heard that the emperor's treasury is empty and you can't afford to establish a school, so I specially sent me to ask Your Majesty, he is willing to contribute to the establishment of 200 universities, 5,000 high schools, 20,000 junior high schools, and more than 300,000 primary schools in the Ming Dynasty. ”
How could Emperor Chongzhen not hear it? This is Wang Anshi giving his offer. With so many schools, they can train a lot of talents for the Ming Empire, and when the time comes, the ships and cannons may be able to drive to Europe.
But he was not reconciled, seeing Wang Anshi's concession so quickly, he knew that friendly countries actually attached great importance to the spread of religion, in this case, he might as well use this matter to get more benefits for the Ming Empire.
So, Emperor Chongzhen gave Wang Chengen a look to the next side, and the carriage turned a corner, and soon came to the door of the criminal department.
Emperor Chongzhen pretended to open the curtain to look, and then exclaimed with a stunned expression: "How can there be so many bald donkeys?" ”
Wang Anshi naturally knew that he was making a show, but he didn't want to say anything, so he simply looked out the window with a lot of fun, only to see that the outside was dense, horizontal and vertical, and a bunch of bald heads were arranged very neatly, and he couldn't help but sneer.
Don't you know, since they are here to complain, how can they still have the kung fu to shoot so neatly, they might as well rush up, surround the yamen of the criminal department, crying dad and calling mother, Ou is not right, it should be the bitter Buddha, shouting Bodhisattva.
Wang Anshi retracted his head, and without looking at Emperor Chongzhen's face, he said lightly: "My Majesty said that he has a lot of ideas, for example, to open a shipbuilding workshop, a gunpowder workshop, and an iron-making workshop in the Ming Dynasty. I just don't know if His Majesty agrees or not, and he also said that he wants to organize a fleet with Bixia and engage in maritime trade activities. ”
Emperor Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at the eunuchs next to him, they still have a place to go, that is, the commercial street opened by friends in the capital, then you are now experiencing the impact of believers who believe in Buddhism.
But Wang Anshi is now very angry.
"Frankly speaking, none of the conditions offered by Weichen can be easily achieved by Your Majesty. Now that they have been given to His Majesty, I don't know what else His Majesty wants? You might as well say it now, so that this dilapidated carriage will not fall apart on the road. ”
Emperor Chongzhen heard Wang Anshi's anger, but he didn't care, because now he had the initiative to negotiate.
However, what Wang Anshi said next made him a little unable to sit still.
"Your Majesty, you have some people who don't have enough hearts to swallow elephants, oh, no, you should be called, killing chickens and taking eggs, in fact, these benefits of yours will come out slowly. The reason why my emperor misses you is that he wants to change this period of history. In this case, it is also what they want to do to help you make great progress and development in education, in maritime trade, in industrial manufacturing, and so on. Of course, if you can't do it well, they won't mind doing it for you. ”
Emperor Chongzhen widened his eyes, as if to say, Wang Anshi, you have a kind of saying that again.
But Wang Anshi was not afraid, and still said lightly: "It is not appropriate to kill chickens and take eggs, after all, my Dayue Empire is not a weak chicken, let alone anyone who wants to kill it." ”
This straightforward threat made Emperor Chongzhen quite unhappy. However, if he continues to ignore the good or bad, then the benefits he has obtained will obviously be lost.
Well, that's all there is to it, and he gets enough of it.
After all, as Wang Anshi said, everything he can get is actually coming to him step by step, and without his arrangement, Beijing's business tax revenue has grown considerably. Obviously, the emperors of friendly countries did not violate the declaration of reciprocity and mutual assistance. Between killing chickens and taking eggs and trickling water, his choice is still wise enough.
But what he didn't expect was that what he could get was not only these benefits.
Because someone gave His Majesty the Emperor a father.
Yes, to the emperor, to the father. (To be continued......)
