Chapter 75: The Imperial Staff
Yang Shen's attention to Wang Yue should have been very early. He complained about Zhu Houxi, and worked against Liang Chu and Mao Cheng, and Yang Shen already knew about this kid.
And the last time he reported the news in the past, Yang Shen learned Wang Yue's sharpness.
After returning home, Yang Shen thought more than once of the promise between him and Wang Yue, but in fact, that promise was more like a joke. He didn't feel that Wang Yue had the ability to push himself to the position of the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War. And to be honest, Yang Shen has a little sympathy for the weak.
That's right, that's what he thought.
No matter how wicked Wang Yue is and how stubborn the Son of Heaven is, it is impossible for him to be the opponent of a group of old foxes, and the two sides cannot be compared together at all.
It was this kind of self-confidence that made Yang Shen ignore how bad he was!
It wasn't until today that Yang Shen realized how powerful Wang Yue was, but he couldn't ignore his conscience for the sake of father-son affection and the so-called overall situation.
What's more, this is a difficult question that he has been asking himself for more than ten years.
Now let Wang Yue answer.
Chaowen said, Xi can die!
Nothing is more shocking than the resonance of the heart.
Wang Yue's words were like a key that opened that mysterious door.
The complicated history suddenly became clear.
Yang Shen saw the truth clearly, and this truth made him extremely painful, but it was precisely because the beating was too painful that he was extremely sober......
"His Majesty Xiaozong reuses virtuous ministers, humbly accepts advice, and the chaos since the Ming Dynasty has been swept away, and it seems to be prosperous. But His Majesty Xiaozong, it is wrong to abolish the Kaizhong Law! ”
"Bold!" Qiao Yu glared at Yang Shen angrily, the last time they were in Yang Tinghe's house, they fell out, this time even Wang Yue didn't dare to directly say that Xiaozong was wrong, Yang Shen actually dared to attack Xiaozong, it was just mad, and it thundered that day.
There is no need to look at Yang Tinghe, he has already pounced and wants to strangle Yang Shen.
"Stop!"
Suddenly, someone scolded him, Qiao Yu was too familiar with this voice.
He turned his head and stared at Yang Tinghe, who was not tall.
"Elder Ge! Do you want to shelter your son? ”
Yang Tinghe's face was expressionless, "Above the court, there are only monarchs and ministers, and there are no fathers and sons!" ”
After he finished speaking, he turned to Yang Shen again, his eyes were as sharp as a dagger, and he paused word by word, "Casually discussing the gains and losses of the monarch's father is not the work of the courtiers." But since you said it, you have to make it clear, if it's nonsense, don't blame the national law for being ruthless! ”
Yang Shen never dreamed that he would one day stand on the opposite side of his father in Fengtian Palace.
This taste is really sour!
But since you say it, let's talk about it!
He simply put everything aside, just talk about things, and worship truth and hypocrisy, isn't this what he has always been an academic advocate! Today, let yourself for the Tao in your heart, not avoid life and death, and prove Bodhi once!
"The opening of the Chinese law is the ancestral system carefully brewed by Taizu, who will resist the Tatars, enrich the frontier, and integrate the benefits of salt. If there is salt profit, there are merchants who send grain to the nine sides, and only with grain can the border army be at ease, the army is stable, the morale is high, and naturally it is not afraid of the Tartars entering the Kou! ”
"The imperial court abolished the Kaizhong Law and exchanged silver for salt. The imperial court raised its soldiers with money...... This has changed from the world soldiers on the nine sides to recruiting soldiers! Throughout the military system of the past dynasties, once it is time to recruit soldiers, the cost will inevitably skyrocket. In other words, Jiubian can no longer feed the millions of military households in the guards. ”
"Looking at the case files of the past years, since the Hongzhi Dynasty, the number of military households fleeing from the Nine Sides has increased significantly. And that's not even counting the merchant tenants mentioned by Senator Wang. ”
Yang Shen paused and looked at Wang Yue, his eyes full of shame. Such an obvious thing, it actually depends on Wang Yue's guidance to find out that he, the champion, is really not very good...... No wonder some people say that he is the "joint champion", "the face champion", in the past he was not convinced, he felt that his talent and knowledge were enough to be this champion, but he was affected by his father, so he attracted the criticism of ignorant people, but now I look at it, he is really not good!
"The military families fled, the Shangtun disappeared, and the loss of more than one million people on the nine sides...... So many people are gone, the frontier is empty, and the Tartars take advantage of the weakness to enter and go south to herd horses and swallow and eat. On the other hand, more military households had to flee for their lives because of panic, which is why the little prince continued to enter the prison in the later period of the Hongzhi Dynasty! Before the death of the Emperor of Xiaozong, he also convened hundreds of officials to discuss the strategy against the enemy, I think all the princes know about this matter, right? ”
Yang Shen followed Wang Yue's train of thought and summarized the process of Hongzhi to the Zhengde Dynasty.
When he explained it, he couldn't help but admire, and even threw himself to the ground. He was vaguely aware of something, and if he could comprehend it, he would have the code to decipher all the puzzles.
It's just that he doesn't know what this thing is called, maybe he needs to ask Wang Yue for advice!
Yang Shen couldn't understand it thoroughly, but Wang Yue knew that this thing was actually very simple, just two words: logic!
Abolishing the Kaizhong Method, a series of consequences, will inevitably cause the emptiness of the nine sides, which is as natural as growing old and fat.
But it is such a natural thing, but it is the core issue that the group that governs this country has been ignoring for a long time!
Even Zhuge Liang, who is an idol for the ages, only said the words "pro-virtuous minister, far villain" in the teacher's table.
These six words, like the Ming monarch and virtuous ministers, all look at the problem from the moral level.
For example, Shilin thinks that Xiaozong Zhu Youzhu is a good emperor, and he is right in everything. The Tartars continue to enter the prison, the people are miserable, and the people are not able to make a living, these bad situations are naturally caused by traitors and villains, so it is necessary to reuse the "virtuous ministers" and eradicate the traitors.
But who is a traitor and who is loyal?
This is again an unsolvable problem, and the usual result is that it evolves into endless party disputes, such as the Donglin and Eunuch parties, and even the old and new party struggles in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the Niu and Li party disputes in the Tang Dynasty......
From this point of view, Zhu Houzhao, who has received the king's education, is obviously much more shrewd than Chongzhen.
He threw Wenchen off, reused martial arts, released the Eight Tigers, went all out, invested resources in the nine sides, and even did not hesitate to drive the expedition himself, finally reversed the decline and wiped his father's ass clean.
Such a clear and clear thing made the ministers blow up collectively.
If you don't refute this point of view, wouldn't it mean that Xiaozong is a faint monarch, and Zhu Houzhao is doing the right thing? If Zhu Houzhao is right, what are they?
Forcing Xinjun to be Xiaozong's son, isn't this a brain disease?
It's not just digging up the ancestral grave, it's simply picking out the bones of the ancestors, crushing the bones and scattering ashes!
Where can these people endure?
Especially Qiao Yu, he didn't care about anything else, he rushed over directly, and he was about to punch and beat angrily for the country, and the other ministers were also eager to try and wanted to do it together.
At this time, Wang Yue was very blind, and he actually applauded.
"Zhuangyuan Gong is worthy of being a talented man in the world, and he gave birth to a pair of discerning eyes. Let me give you two more sentences, it turned out that the power to transport grain and grass to the nine sides, and the power to open the salt was in the hands of the generals of the nine sides, who were originally martial artists, and later although there were governors, the martial artists still held the power of salt release. But after paying money to the household, the warriors lost the right to interfere in the salt administration, in other words, the fat of salt became the exclusive property of some people! ”
"Wang Yue!"
Qiao Yu is completely crazy, this rabbit cub actually said the most unspeakable thing, it should be cut with a thousand knives, wrapped in breadcrumbs, and fried in an oil pan!
The hundreds of officials and ministers in the Fengtian Palace were even more blown up, didn't they want to talk about the Qiao family?
How to talk more and more deeply, and open up all the things that can't be said.
Wang Yue, if you want our lives, then we will kill you first!
The ministers screamed and pounced on Wang Yue and Yang Shen.
And at this moment, Zhu Houxi, who had been silent, suddenly squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Court staff!" ”
The ministers seemed to have been hit by the immobilization method, and they were all stunned.
Zhu Houxi slowly stood up and laughed at himself: "The law set by the ancestors has been abolished, but fortunately not even the court staff has been abolished, otherwise, wouldn't I even have the power to restrain the ministers!" ”
