Chapter 882: Stunned Qing stepped forward and died
At this point, Li Chengfeng has thoroughly understood the fundamental reason for the struggle between the two factions in Shenjing.
also thoroughly understood the reason for the irreconcilable opposition between the crown prince and the four princes, and he also had a deeper understanding of what it means to decide the head with an ass.
For the fourth prince, he has already stepped into the position of opposition to the crown prince, and he will never turn back. The officials under his command can change the court and "defect to the enemy", but he can't. Once he admits defeat, what awaits him will be a lifetime of captivity, and the prince will never let him, a political rival, go out and harm the world.
Therefore, the four princes can only go one way to the black, and he must win!
And if he wants to compete with a holy monarch like the crown prince who has won the hearts of the people, the recognition of scholars, and the recognition of the majority of middle and lower-level officials, he must take the high-level line, and he must unite with the big landlords, the big nobles, and the great cultivators, and if he wants these behemoths to completely support himself and defeat the powerful prince, he must give up his profits and pay a huge and tragic price.
What the prince said, don't the four princes understand?
Li Chengfeng heard Zhao Feiyue say that the four princes are rare smart people in the world, he is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and can recite poems at the age of six.
Can such a person understand such a simple truth?
No, he must have figured it out!
But he had to!
Because if he didn't do this, Zhao Liexian would not be able to get the absolute support of these big nobles, big landlords, and great cultivators!
And the most important thing is that Li Chengfeng felt that Zhao Lie really thought in his heart that he should compromise with all factions first, because Zhao Lie first quickly stood up and refuted Zhao Hanqing's words in a conclusive manner.
When everyone heard what the prince Zhao Hanqing said, most of them fell into silence, and there were no stupid people who could be among them.
However, even if the officials who agree with it are in different positions, they cannot express their opinions.
Because officialdom is not a place to speak in black and white according to right and wrong, this is a place to speak according to the position of the line.
Sometimes you say the right thing, but unfortunately you are in the wrong position, and the end is doomed, but sometimes you say the wrong thing, but you stand in the right place, and the result is a success.
It's absurd, but it's very realistic.
Zhao Hanqing's words were like sharp arrows, hitting everyone's hearts fiercely, and even touching their conscience, so Zhao Lie immediately came out to try to turn things around.
Zhao Liexian himself was also a master of eloquent mouth artillery, and when he came up, he split his head and asked: "Dare to ask the third brother! There are priorities in things, should we deal with urgent matters first or postpone them?"
Zhao Hanqing snorted coldly: "Naturally, it's urgent!"
Zhao Lie first forced him to ask: "Then may I ask, among the many major events at the moment, which one is the most urgent and which one is not so urgent? Which one seems to be urgent, but it is far away?"
Zhao Hanqing immediately realized that this was a set, although he was not an eloquent master of Li Chengfeng and Zhao Liexian, who talked eloquently and fought the lotus flower, but he was a master of thinking and thinking who was clumsy and quick to act, he sneered: "The biggest and most urgent thing is that there is no one who is more than a national disaster!"
Zhao Lie first said angrily: "Sophistry! This is sophistry!" After that, he said to Zhao Bairen: "Father, Emperor! At this moment, we should rush to do our bidding! We should first resolve the popular uprising, and then concentrate our forces on attacking the Nine Prisons, so as to complete the battle in one battle! And if we want to do this, we must unite with all factions, and we must compromise! As for what the imperial brother said, it is just unfounded and worrying! How can a normal person let a bubble of urine suffocate to death? Let all factions be autonomous, but there is conditional autonomy!
Zhao Bairen said with interest: "Oh, how can you have the conditions?"
Zhao Lie said first: "First, to maintain the power of governance, all factions must recognize that the land where they are located is owned by Daqi, as the so-called land is not the king's land!"
Zhao Bairen nodded hurriedly: "It should be so, it should be so!"
Zhao Lie first said: "Second, keep the dispatch and appointment of officials! Where do these cultivators have time to manage the trivial matters between the world? Can they handle the relationship with the mud legs? Can they settle the mountain of accounts and debts? They don't have the manpower and material resources, so what they can rely on is naturally the scholars, the officials appointed by the imperial court, so as long as the management power is still in our hands, there will be no situation as the emperor said!"
When the officials of the four princes heard this, they immediately wavered and nodded one after another: "It is reasonable, what His Highness said is reasonable!"
Zhao Bairen also nodded again and again like grass on the wall: "Reasonable, reasonable." ”
Zhao Hanqing was furious, and he stiffened his neck and said: "Nonsense! When the time comes, the money will be in their hands, and the people will be in their hands! The so-called county officials might as well be in charge now! Who do you think these officials will listen to when the time comes!"
Everyone was dumbfounded for a while, and Zhao Bairen said: "Yes, how can you be thoughtful if you give it a handle?"
Zhao Liexian was furious, and couldn't help but scold angrily in his heart: You bastard stupid old man, who are you listening to! You are the emperor, the emperor of your word, not the grass on the wall that blows on both sides!!
Zhao Lie said angrily: "Could it be that under the order of the imperial court, they still dare to resist the decree and disrespect it?"
Zhao Hanqing said angrily: "The scholar's opinion! I have traveled all over the Great Qi and the mountains alone, and what I have seen the most is that the yang is in line with the yin, and the county officials are not as good as the current management! Corruption is rampant in various places, and the imperial court has repeatedly issued policies to benefit the people, but in the end, why has it increased the burden on the people? It is because these local officials have colluded with each other and deceived their superiors and subordinates! If you hand over the money and the people to the various factions, these officials will be even more fearless in collusion with the local sects, and they will become a small ** and a small kingdom with an iron plate! At that time, the needle could not be inserted, the water could not be spilled, and it was too late to regret it if you wanted to turn back! ”
This sentence poked at Zhao Liexian's weakness, and also made him more and more annoyed and angry.
Zhao Hanqing at this point, no one can find fault with him, when he was not in charge of the country, he had already begun to follow his teacher, the crown prince Zhang Datong, to travel and study, and go down to the people to taste the suffering of the people.
Unlike Zhao Liexian, who likes to eat, drink and have fun, and play in the mountains and rivers, he has traveled all over the country and has rich experience, and almost all the states and counties of Daqi have stories of private visits by the prince of Daqi.
Therefore, he deeply understands where the local maladministration is, and deeply understands where the maladministration of Daqi is!
He knew better than anyone how violent Zhao Liexian's poison was!
Therefore, he took a clear-cut stand and stood up with a firm attitude to express strong protest and opposition.
For this, he did not even hesitate to gamble on his political future!
Zhao Hanqing knelt on the ground and said in a sincere and sad tone: "Father, this kind of strategy to quench thirst by drinking water must not be implemented! Once implemented, the destruction of the Great Qi is just around the corner!"
Zhao Liexian also knelt on the ground, and said in a crying voice: "Father, the emperor and his sons also think that what the emperor said is very reasonable, but it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice! If the treasury is full, why should the sons and daughters make such a decision? It is the so-called lesser of two evils, and now in order to solve the predicament, it is a last resort!"
Zhao Bairen's brows were twisted together, he sighed deeply, and said: "What the prince said is the words of Lao Cheng to seek the country, and what the fourth brother said is also very reasonable, but ...... Isn't there a way to get the best of both worlds in this world?" As he spoke, he looked at the officials and said, "Ministers, do you have a way to share the worries of your father?"
The officials looked at each other, where did they have any good solutions?
If there is a good way, it will not be their turn to talk!
This method must be reported to their own boss first, let them say, let them take the credit!
Which officialdom stunned youth would speak at this time?
But...... There is really such an officialdom stunned here, he is full of blood and his brain is hot, he stepped forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, minister...... Have an idea!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard it!
, who and where is this divine dare to jump out and step on this thunder at this time?
Whose head is so iron?!
Everyone turned their heads to look, but they saw that this person was none other than ...... Stunned Qing Li rides the wind!
