Chapter 566: Why is it so
Deng Guangjian was stunned when he heard the words of the little emperor, to be honest, he now has indescribable feelings for his special student. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info As a teacher, he is indeed not a good student, not only tired of learning, but also always questioning the words of the sages, and has many strange ideas that he cannot answer; If you look at it as a courtier, the little emperor obviously has the qualities that an emperor should have, his intelligence and wisdom, benevolence, filial piety, perseverance, fairness and honesty, love for the generals, sympathy for the people, whether it is civil governance and martial arts, it shows signs of becoming a Ming monarch.
In addition, Deng Guangjian watched step by step as the little emperor led a group of rabble, growing little by little in the midst of extreme hardships and dangers, not only was not destroyed by the enemy, but with his bravery and wisdom, he personally led the army to defeat the enemy army repeatedly, and held the last piece of land in the Great Song Dynasty, laying a solid foundation for the arrival of the dynasty. Qiongzhou has changed dramatically from two years ago, with its own iron mines, coal mines, salt works, and large tracts of land reclaimed, which is basically self-sufficient, and has attracted a large number of immigrants.
If it weren't for his own experience, Deng Guangjian would never believe that it was all done under the leadership of a child. Thinking about the little emperor's succession to the throne is even more thrilling, in an extremely complicated situation, not only successfully inherited the throne, but also defeated the enemy army to win the support of the ministers, grasped the power, and brought the dynasty to Qiongzhou. Although the situation in the court is chaotic now, and there are slang chaos, it is not a big deal compared to the previous crisis, so why should he not believe that the little emperor can revive the dynasty and quell the rebellion!
"The minister believes in Your Majesty!" Deng Guangjian thought about all kinds of experiences and nodded heavily.
"Since Mr. believes that I can reorganize the dynasty, why should I be in a hurry to return to the Great Song Dynasty?" Zhao Yu looked at Deng Guang and said, "Sir also knows that there are many people in the DPRK and China, and there are not many people who can be trusted. ”
"Your Majesty, I am willing to serve the dogs and horses!" Deng Guang recommended that the little emperor said sincerely, if he was no longer interested, he would be sorry for the word emperor, and he said at the moment.
"Sir, sit down!" Zhao Hao hurriedly helped him and asked him to sit down and pour tea with his own hands. He also secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he kept Deng Guangjian not only because of his talent, but also because he knew that Deng Guangjian left because he was disappointed in the government, but in the eyes of outsiders, he was forced to leave, so who would be loyal to an emperor who couldn't even tolerate his master!
"Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous, it is the minister's mistake!" Deng Guang recommended another salute before sitting down.
"Sir's idea of rectifying the dynasty, I have long had this intention. But when the dynasty was first decided and it was the time to employ people, it was temporarily put down, but who knew that it had caused so much chaos. Zhao Yu took a sip of tea and said.
"Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous, and the ministers also know Your Majesty's difficulties, if you just arrive in Qiongzhou, you will wantonly dismiss the old ministers, which will make the ministers chill and panic, which is not conducive to the stability of the court. It's just that some people don't know the grace of heaven and still act arbitrarily. As far as the ministers knew, as soon as they were stabilized, some courtiers built houses on a large scale, raised concubines, and even began to forcibly occupy fertile land and force people to be tenants, completely forgetting the difficulties of the day, but they did not know that His Majesty was still frugal in order to restore the country. Deng Guangjian thought of what some people had done and said angrily.
"I've heard of these things too, and I wanted to slow down before I act, but now I can't see it. But I don't understand why these treacherous people can enter the temple and enter the temple? Zhao Yu was half indignant, half helpless.
It can be said that the promotion of "disease" has occurred in all dynasties and generations in history, and it is also frequently reported in modern times, which is difficult to eliminate, and Zhao Yu also knows that maintaining a huge state machine and promoting new people is not only a necessary move for the imperial court, but also an inevitable trend. However, for what reason are higher-level officials willing to promote and reuse "sick" officials, and what is the mystery of this? He never understood why the rulers were destroying the Great Wall in this way!
"Your Majesty's words are true, it is not uncommon for some traitors to be able to ascend to the temple, but the reasons are different, and they are not ......" Deng Guang recommended that His Majesty ask for advice, and he consciously exercised his responsibility to solve doubts......
Deng Guangzhuan spat stars flying wildly, speaking quickly and slowly, and quoting scriptures from time to time, Zhao Yu found that this Deng Guangzhuan really deserved to be a scholar-type official, although he was overwhelmed by the things in the court, and the angry Buddha was born and the second Buddha ascended to heaven, but the analysis of the origin is the Tao, and it is really like that. He said a lot, and he summarized it mainly as follows:
First, due to the needs of political struggle, "sick" officials were promoted to high positions. Let's take Cai Jing as an example. In the first year of Huizong Chongning, Prime Minister Zeng Bu had a quarrel with another prime minister, Han Zhongyan, in order to gain absolute control. Han Zhongyan thought that Cai Jing, who was demoted to Dingzhou as the governor, "had the means" and had a big enmity with Zeng Bu, so he transferred him back to the Hanlin Academy as a promiser, hoping that he would become his right-hand man.
At this time, Cai Jing has been impeached by the ministers many times, and his evil deeds are notorious, no one knows that he is a bad person who is "not lightly ill", and Han Zhongyan's move can be described as leading the wolf into the house. As a result, within a few months, Zeng Bu and Han Zhongyan were both defeated, and Cai Jing took advantage of the fisherman's profits, and quickly took Han Zhongyan to replace him, which was exactly shooting himself in the foot.
The second is that the emperor is cowardly or his own immorality, which gives the powerful ministers an opportunity to promote "sick" officials. If the emperor himself does not have the ability to manage the country and is greedy for pleasure, it is easy for the powerful ministers to take the opportunity to override the emperor and form a de facto "chief manager". Song Huizong was extravagant and unsympathetic to state affairs, and it was almost inevitable that such an emperor would be in power, and it was almost inevitable that a traitor would be in power.
Cai Jing knew that Huizong liked gardens, so he tried his best to promote the construction of "Huashi Gang" and Genyue, and placed them in Suzhou. In order to cater to his habits, he repeatedly used the treasury to withdraw tens or millions of dollars each time. And most of these silver taels went into Cai Jing's own pocket. After Genyue was built, Zhu Mian, a native of Suzhou who presided over Huashigang, was "promoted to the defense envoy, and there were more assassins and county guards in the southeast", that is to say, after Zhu Mian was promoted, he promoted his cronies to serve as local officials such as assassins and county guards in the southeast. It is not so much that Zhu Mian is a corrupt official who was "promoted by illness" by Cai Jing, but rather that he and Cai Jing are embarrassed and do evil together.
The third is to help each other with evil. Ouyang Xiu said in "On Friends": "Those who are favored by villains are also profitable; Those who are greedy will also have their goods. …… The gentleman is not, he who guards is moral, he who does is faithful, and he who pities is honorable. In Ouyang Xiu's view, there are two types of people, one is a gentleman who takes the benefit of the world as his own responsibility, and the other is a villain who aims to satisfy his selfish desires. After the villains gained power, they "regarded the party as friends" with each other, and built up corrupt hills and interest groups, turning the entire officialdom into hooligans and gangsters. In such an officialdom, "promotion with illness" has become the norm......
