Chapter 128: Confrontation and Sycophancy
Speaking of this, the emperor looked at Huang Qiong, although he was somewhat hesitant at first. But in an instant, he still said in an extremely firm tone: "Don't go to this article of yours first." I still say the same thing, now everything is based on stability, and I can't chill the hearts of the clans in this world. ”
"Father, if the country lives and dies for profit, will it be avoided because of good fortune and misfortune? When Erchen drafted these regulations, he didn't think about leaving any way back for himself. Today, land annexation is becoming more and more serious, and the number of people who have lost their land and become displaced is increasing. And the annual income of the imperial court is declining almost every year. ”
"If you don't get seriously ill and use fierce medicine that can remove the roots, but just blindly seek stability, the contradictions can only accumulate deeper and deeper. Once the day of the general outbreak arrives, I am afraid that the situation will be out of control in an instant. The father is the co-master of the world, not only the co-master of the clan and officials. ”
"Besides, the retainers are not going to completely deprive the clan of the land in their name. The meaning of the retainers was only to adopt some means, such as redemption and purchase, to gradually return these lands to the people. And adopt a series of measures to gradually solve the situation of the increasingly insufficient revenue of the imperial court. ”
"Father, it is better to prevent the people than to prevent Sichuan. You have always loved the people as much, are you willing to see more ordinary people occupy this whole world, and life is becoming more and more miserable? Erchen really doesn't know, how did those clans that can't do anything except eat, drink, and have fun and accumulate wealth become the foundation of my Great Qi Dynasty? ”
"Could it be that they were born in heaven, which is the root of the people who can be unscrupulous? Could it be that just because they were born in heaven, the law of the land can open up to them? These days, my son has read these files you have given me, and the practices of these clans can be said to be vivid, and the crimes they have committed can be described as innumerable. ”
"What is the reliance of the people on their misdeeds? What else can we rely on other than being born with a good life and being born in heaven? In addition, are they capable of governing the country with civil power, or can they be able to govern the country with military energy? Judging by their actions, they are just a group of moths on my Great Qi Dynasty, who are greedily sucking the flesh and blood of the court and hollowing out the foundation of the court. ”
As for whether he would offend anyone, or offend those people, Erchen didn't care too much. If you don't do something, you will naturally not offend anyone. But as long as you do things, you can't not offend people at all. If you do something, and you have the idea of both ends of the first mouse, then Erchen might as well do nothing, wouldn't that be more straightforward? ”
As soon as Huang Qiong's stubborn temperament came up, she ignored it and said everything in her heart truthfully. He really couldn't understand that if it was said that scholars were the foundation of the imperial court, this could barely be said. After all, in this era, the popularity of education is far less than in my previous life.
The decrees of the imperial court, and even the opening of the branch to govern the world, all need to rely on these scholars. What's more, these readers have the right to speak. What they write can be written in black as white, and white can be written as black. History is like a knife, this is not just talking.
But how did those clans who only knew the general trend to accumulate wealth, plus eat, drink, and play with women all day long, become the foundation of the world in his mouth? These humanities cannot govern the world, and military forces cannot defend the country. You can't carry a burden on your shoulders, and you can't hoe a field with your arms. If it weren't for this privilege, I guess these people would have starved to death long ago.
Huang Qiong couldn't figure it out, she just wanted to take back some of the privileges of these clans, how could she shake the foundation of the country? Moreover, these clans, not by their origins, but by what they have done, are the foundation of the kingdom. said that they were a group of moths, and in Huang Qiong's opinion, they were all light.
"Presumptuous, who gave you such audacity to talk such nonsense? According to your meaning, if I don't do what you say, the disaster of my great destruction of the country is just around the corner? Are you alarmist, or are you threatening me? Huang Qiong's words made the emperor angry. If it weren't for the presence of Jia Quan, an outsider, it is estimated that the emperor would definitely be furious.
"Erchen didn't dare, Erchen just truthfully reflected the true situation of my Daqi, and didn't dare to threaten his father. The son and the father are father and son, but they are also monarchs and ministers. As a son, if the son is afraid of offending people because of his heavy responsibility, he will fool the monarch's father, it is unfilial. ”
"As a courtier, you can't tell the truth of the world to the holy king, and if you don't accept advice, you will be disloyal. Father, you can't let your sons be the unfaithful and unfilial people. "Huang Qiong is very stubborn, but this time he is very skillful. When a big hat of disloyalty and filial piety is buttoned down, the emperor is annoyed in his heart, and he can't get out of his mouth.
"You?" Sure enough, after Huang Qiong finished speaking, the emperor was immediately speechless. He can't say that Huang Qiong's disloyal and unfilial remarks are wrong, right? You must know that the vast majority of the imperial courts in ancient China ruled the country with loyalty and filial piety. Although the ancestral family law cannot be changed at every turn, hindering the change that can follow the times, sometimes it is as easy to use as a big hat to suppress people.
Seeing that the emperor was stunned by Huang Qiong's words, he was speechless. Just now, Huang Qiong has been continuously confronting the emperor, and he was so frightened that he couldn't help but pull the corner of Huang Qiong's clothes behind his back, signaling him not to get too stiff with the emperor. Don't anger the emperor's Jia Quan too much, and he couldn't help but give a thumbs up secretly in his heart.
Although his master is sometimes a little impulsive, this mouth is really good. can actually be open, so that the emperor in front of him, who heard that his mouth is also not simple, and he even has some poisonous tongues, is speechless. After these few words, Jia Quan bet that even if the emperor is on fire, I am afraid he will not be able to send it.
Huang Qiong didn't care what Jia Quan thought in his heart, seeing that the emperor was dumbfounded by himself, he didn't plan to give up: "Father, the son doesn't want to eat a fat man at once. Erchen also knows that this matter is not a one-touch thing, and it also needs to be discussed gradually and in the long run. ”
"Son, I'm just stating the facts to my father today. As the prince, since the father gave this errand to the son, then the son has an obligation. It is also the responsibility of the father to let the emperor understand what his son thinks. If you avoid the important and don't dare to tell the truth because you are afraid of offending people, then your son will violate your responsibilities as a son of man and a minister, and you will live up to your father's love. ”
Huang Qiong's words came out, and Jia Quan behind him gave him a thumbs up again. I can't help but secretly praise myself for being so quick with my master's mind and a good mouth. After saying these few words, as long as he is not a faint king, at least he will not be held accountable for the crime of confrontation before. And in the emperor's heart, it can also greatly add points to the image.
Sure enough, after Huang Qiong finished speaking, the emperor's face was hit by his own son before, and the frost produced gradually subsided. It was only after a long silence that the emperor said, "I understand what you said. You can be on this article Chen Zhen is very satisfied, which means that you still have the court in your heart. But you also have to understand my difficulties and feel my heart. ”
"You also said that this matter is a matter of national origin, and it needs to be considered in the long run. I will consider these ideas carefully and adopt them as appropriate. Although these statements of yours are a bit radical, your mind is still good, and you are also dedicated to thinking about the country. I am very pleased with this and satisfied. Now I will not pursue your crime of confrontation. ”
"I like the sentence you said just now that the life and death of the country are profitable, and you avoid it because of blessings and misfortunes. If half of the people in this Manchu Dynasty could really do this, I wouldn't have to be as tired as I am now. You also have to remember what you say, be consistent with your words and deeds, and don't let me down. ”
Since the father also likes this sentence, the son will cross it once, hoping that the father can mention a calligraphy treasure to the son on this word. Erchen once heard his mother say that his father's face is the best in the world. I just don't know if my son has this blessing to be able to see his father's ink treasure with his own eyes. ”
Although Huang Qiong is a little stubborn, after all, she doesn't have such a tendon to go to the end. Seeing that the emperor's anger has subsided, he will naturally not continue to make trouble, and continue to fight with the emperor, so the unlucky one can only be himself. When it is time to converge, he will converge, and he still understands the truth of reaping when he sees a good thing.
Although he is stubborn and doesn't care about anything, Huang Qiong still has the vision to bend and rudder when he sees the wind. Hearing that the emperor Lao Tzu liked himself, he immediately beat the snake and asked the emperor to mention a word to him. But there is a sentence that is not sycophant, he really heard his mother say that his old man's face is indeed the best in the world.
This is also the only thing that Huang Qiong praised when she was with her mother, and rarely heard her mother talk about herself, the emperor Laozi. Huang Qiong, who was nurtured by her mother in this life and also loved calligraphy, naturally would not give up this opportunity to pat the emperor's ass and feast her eyes.
Hearing Huang Qiong's request, the emperor couldn't help but be slightly stunned. He knew the personalities of these sons of his too well, ranging from those who wanted silver, those who wanted land, and those who wanted beautiful women. can ask for words with himself, but the son in front of him is still the first one. However, when he thought of the environment in which Huang Qiong grew up since childhood, the emperor was immediately relieved.
The calligraphy of his ex-wife is definitely a master of calligraphy in the world. That handwriting, even if I read it, I was a little ashamed. It's not surprising that his son, who grew up with him, loves calligraphy. Since the first time a son was not worried about his throne and property, the emperor generously mentioned a word to Huang Qiong.
At the time of the payment, the emperor even mentioned Shiren Jiaer on the payment, which can be said to be quite a unique and very special comment. As for saying that this comment is special, it is because this is the first time that the emperor has given such a word to his son. As for whether it is related to Huang Qiong's first prince who asked for words, then you have to ask the emperor himself.
Seeing the emperor's handwriting, Rao was accustomed to seeing Huang Qiong, who was used to seeing his mother's handwriting, and couldn't help but secretly praise the old man's handwriting for being really beautiful. However, Huang Qiong didn't pay too much attention to the comments in the back. It's just that he didn't notice it, but it doesn't mean that others didn't notice it either.
Jia Quan, who had not been allowed by the emperor and did not dare to leave, could only be cautiously accompanied by the side, but he noticed this comment. Seeing this comment, Jia Quan knew that his master, the impression he left on the emperor today should not be ordinarily profound, nor should it be very unusual from the past.
After the emperor finished mentioning the words, he looked at it with satisfaction. stood up, walked to the window and looked at the skyline outside the window, after the sunset that had begun to droop, he said leisurely: "I heard that you had a face-to-face conflict with Jing Zhaoyin a few days ago?" What's going on? You have been very cautious since you left the palace, how could you have a conflict with Jing Zhaoyin? I don't want to listen to you, I want to listen to you. ”
