Chapter 037: Defense
Chongzhen is not as the world thinks, he is swayed by Donglin, he is also trying to adhere to his thoughts and perseverance, and he is struggling hard, trying to develop in the best direction.
This is Zhao Xing's current perception.
From this insight, Zhao Xing suddenly felt sad for this emperor, the building has long been decayed to the foundation, in the face of such a broken house, if you want to renovate the old house without demolishing him, it is impossible, you can only be a pastemaker, and in addition to being a pastemaker, what else can you do?
However, the emperor was able to ask himself like this, but it made Zhao Xing's heart rise a sense of eagerness, that is, to help him change the fate of this court.
He was startled by this idea, because since he traveled to this era, he has been adhering to the principle of being at peace with the situation, being a spectator, and then what he has always wanted is to flee to the south with his family, and the worst distance is to cross the ocean, escape to the South Seas, and then take his mother and little sister, including the little milk dog, on a small island in the South Seas, comfortably enjoying the summer sun, the comfort of life, and turning into a pile of dust in the midst of no quarrel with the world.
But things are often unpredictable, just unconsciously, because of his own - Xiufen, who couldn't get away and left, decided to stay here, and then it was because of his own decision that such and such things happened.
Since you can't get out of the way, let's do what a traverser should do.
As for the reason why he is despised for being unintentional and fickle, it is not that he is greedy for power.
Is the original intention, since he must stay because of Xiufen, then he is still young, he doesn't want to be a Manchu dog in his lifetime, the little sister is still young, and he can't be a slave of the Tartars in his twenties, the old lady will be old, and he can't live in the turmoil, how can the little milk dog have to live for seventeen years, and he doesn't want to be used as a meal by the locust-like homeless.
Zhao Xing changed his mind, and he thought that these reasons were enough.
"Your Majesty, Jinyiwei really can't be abolished, in the mind of the minister, it's not because of my job, but because in this world, there shouldn't be no such organization."
When Zhao Xing said this. Emperor Chongzhen, who was pacing, listened to these words, stopped his steps, and turned his head to look at Zhao Xing. He Zhao Xing already felt that because of his words, history would change from now on. This is a person of his own age, do his ideas fit with him?
"Your Majesty, that day we asked between the monarchs and ministers, I gave the emperor an obvious example, but just now Your Majesty has already said that Jinyiwei is the royal army, the only one who does not go along with the official group, if the emperor abandons them, I don't know, who else can Your Majesty trust? Where to get the most truthful news? ”
Silence, silence for a long time, and finally Emperor Chongzhen still asked: "Isn't it possible for me to understand right and wrong between the ministers?" ”
Now that he understands his opportunity, Zhao Xing must seize it, because he is in the square of the noon gate, he does not feel the glory of this imperial city, and there is also a kind of understanding, that is, this imperial city shows himself only two words - rights.
Since he can't escape because of such and such a relationship, he must accept Da Ming, who is tied to him.
Zhao Xing decided to fight.
Now that it has been decided, Zhao Xingmeng raised his head that had been lowered, looked at Chongzhen's back, and said loudly: "If Your Majesty wants to work hard and save this Daming, please believe in your pro-army and believe in your most caring person." ”
Chongzhen's footsteps immediately stopped, shocked by Zhao Xing's move, and then turned around slowly, stared at Zhao Xing's eyes, and asked slowly: "I am assisted by loyal and patriotic ministers, they are all my most intimate people, are Dongchang and Jinyiwei the only ones?" ”
At this time, Zhao Xing had already let go, and once again loudly argued: "The ministers collude with each other, and they all regard each other's interests as the supreme one, which is why there is the Chu Party, the Lu Party, and the Donglin Party, but I know that these parties are fighting for the country or for their own selfish interests; The emperor is wise and has already been arbitrary, but as the emperor, no one who personally understands the feelings of the people under the bottom is easy to be listened to and believed, is this normal? ”
Chongzhen was shocked, and only replied to him after a long time: "You Aiqing are also for the country and the people, is there anything wrong?" ”
Zhao Xing said directly: "The intentions of the ministers, I don't deny that they are for the country and the people, but I take the liberty of asking the emperor, since I believe in the loyalty and patriotism of the ministers, then, why did the previous dynasties still set up imperial historians?" ”
Chongzhen was stunned and couldn't help but pause.
That's the key.
"And to set up the imperial historian, why can't you set up a brocade guard army that directly obeys the royal order and obeys the emperor's orders?" Zhao Xing asked in a low voice, but deafeningly.
Chongzhen turned to face Zhao Xing.
Zhao Xing didn't care, and continued: "Hong Wuye is a wise lord who does not have a world in the world, Lan Yu rebelled, but there was no royal history, and in the end, it was Jinyi Wei who strictly investigated this matter, so as to avoid the different surnames of the Ming Dynasty, is Hong Wuye wrong?" ”
Dead silence, real dead silence.
Zhao Xing is not talking about things for the emperor's ears and eyes, but talking about things from the old yellow calendar, how can it not be shocking? Especially the emperor?
After a long time, Chongzhen said: "But now what Dongchang Jinyiwei has done is indeed criticized. ”
Zhao Xing had already heard from Chongzhen's words that he was not confident enough, so he strengthened his determination even more, and said boldly at that time: "Who is criticizing Jinyiwei?" It's just some imperial history that has been robbed of words, and officials who have been hit. Then there was a heartache: "But, did the emperor hear the voice of the people before?" "Goodbye, sad again" The emperor is sympathetic to the people's feelings, the white dragon fish suit, only to go to the folk to observe, you have also seen, without the brocade guard, the street market is arrogant, there is no brocade guard, some officials, dare to block the road on the street, dare to set fire to the Guogong Mansion and kill people, isn't this the reality of the present, the future chaos? ”
Chongzhen couldn't help but be speechless when he heard Zhao Xing's blunt words.
Yes, there has never been such an example before, but only one day after he released the dismissal of Jinyiwei, such a situation occurred, doesn't it explain anything?
"Your Majesty, you are deep in the deep palace, and what you listen to is only the praise of the so-called Donglin gentleman." Then boldly pointed to the high case on the table: "Xiao Chen dares to conclude that in those chapters, there, there is absolutely no mountain and Shaanxi drought for three years, natural and man-made disasters are everywhere, there is absolutely no Wang Er, Wang Jiazhen and others in Shaanxi have gathered tens of thousands of people to rebel, there, either singing praises or attacking each other." But when you paid a private visit, you heard the voices of the people. Today's ministers are courageous, in fact, the people praise Jinyiwei, at least not disgusted, but they make the officials jealous. But the emperor has every opportunity, how many times can he go to Weifu for the country and the people to make a private visit and get the true voice of the world? The minister doesn't know whether the one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, or those who win the hearts of hundreds of officials win the world, and the hundred officials do not represent the hearts of the people. ”
Zhao Xing had already let himself out, and he suddenly realized that since he could not become an emperor and general as a traverser, he should also seize this rare opportunity to be summoned by the emperor and ask for his life for the people.
In fact, why not gamble on your own fate?
Chongzhen was stunned by Zhao Xing's direct questioning, stood still, turned around slowly, and then stared at Zhao Xing, and after a long time, slowly asked: "Isn't the hundred officials representing the people?" ”
Zhao Xing smiled bitterly: "The saints all say 'meat eaters despise', and the hundred officials only represent the gauze hat on their heads." ”
After being silent for a long time, Chongzhen said in a low voice: "You are extreme." ”
Zhao Xing's stubborn resistance: "Three hundred years of peace, hundreds of officials have fallen." ”
I can't say this anymore, it's completely two thoughts.
Chongzhen sat back in his place again, picked up a piece and began to read it, never looking at Zhao Xing again.
Zhao Xing lowered his eyebrows and looked at his toes, and the entire Dongnuan Pavilion fell silent again.
After a long time, Chongzhen sighed: "The role of Jinyiwei is still there, but its power is too great, and in order to show his ability, he deliberately frames officials, for example, the matter of the six gentlemen of Donglin is indeed too wanton." ”
Zhao Xing pondered for a moment and replied in a low voice: "Jinyiwei has a role, the six gentlemen really shouldn't be in the matter, the power is too great, but this is not the fault of Jinyiwei, but the fault of the royal family." ”
When Chongzhen heard this, he suddenly stood up, his face changed greatly at that time, and he scolded angrily: "Nonsense, why is it the fault of the royal family?" ”
The imperial power cannot be provoked and questioned, Zhao Xing said this, it is simply a big rebellion, how can this not make Chongzhen, a staunch defender of imperial power, angry?
