Chapter 781 Go to the West, for the country and the people

Your Majesty, the countless sayings of the Western Sea State are fallacies to confuse the public, and what is said in the round sky is the orthodox doctrine, please take back the holy order of the West! ”

"The minister seconded the proposal, Your Majesty, I am a treasure of China, a collection of treasures in the world, not to mention whether there are countless barbarian small countries in the West, even if there are, why should I go to the West to make friends with all nations?"

"The minister also seconded the proposal, His Majesty ordered the household department to collect shipbuilding and good wood, and the ministers dare not disobey, and there is nothing to say for the Xingjiang South Naval Division, but it is absurd for Your Majesty to build a sea ship to go to the Western Ocean, and I hope Your Majesty will take back the Shengming!"

"I hope Your Majesty will take back the Shengming!"

Li Zheng's face was gloomy as he looked at most of the ministers of civil and military affairs kneeling on the ground and begging him to retract his admonition.

"Reading is a good thing, but reading does not seek to understand, what you have learned is not useful, you can be in two classes, all of them are full of poetry and books, but reading dead books, dead reading not only misleads oneself but also misleads the country! The saying that the sky is round and the place is round has been since ancient times, and the saying that the world is round has not been mentioned by the major masters! ”

"Hundreds of classics, all have their strengths, you only respect the words of Confucianism, abandon the rest of the hundreds of classics and ignore it, called respecting the teacher, but in fact short-sighted! In the pre-Qin period, the hundreds of schools of thought made the disputes between the princes of the world continue for a hundred years. Taoism is quiet and inactive, scholars and men, Zonghengjia looks down on the world, Legalists make laws to restrain human nature, I do not deny the Confucian classics, and I have been advising me for a long time to brainstorm ideas, and now I want to ask you if you have done what you have exhorted me to do, and abide by self-discipline. ”

"Are there countless countries overseas, if you don't go to see it in person, who dares to say anything, hearing is false, seeing is believing, you read poetry and books, learn classics, why don't you remember this sentence?"

"Throughout the ages, all emperors can only dominate the continent, and all the fame and hegemony are completed on the land, and the king is the king, but who has crossed the sea, I don't want to look at the ocean and sigh, I not only want to be the overlord on the land, but also the overlord on the ocean!"

"If there really are countless states in the West, and you and others bluntly advise me to prevent me from opening up territory and expanding the territory for the Great Dragon, if the descendants of future generations are confirmed, do you know how the descendants of future generations will insult you?"

"I tell you, it's a rat's eye, and Confucianism misleads the country."

"Your Majesty!"

Li Zheng took a deep breath and glanced at the ministers: "To open up the foundation of the world, you should be the first to go to the world, and it is imperative to go to the West, and then those who dare to advise, go to the country to reclaim a vegetable field and farm the land, and apply your classic doctrine well. ”

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty glanced at each other, and no one dared to open their mouths to admonish each other while kneeling on the ground.

"If you Aiqing don't have a twist and turn, you will retreat, the Ministry of Household will prepare two or three million silver for the move of going to the West, and the Ministry of Industry will not slack off in preparing the coastal wharf! Go to the West, form thousands of states, open up a precedent, and you will have honor with me! ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, Uncle Tongyuan has returned triumphantly from Jiangnan to suppress bandits, and has now arrived outside the noon gate!"

Li Zheng, who was about to go down, was stunned and looked towards the palace gate with unconcealable joy on his face.

"Xuan!"

"Xuantong Yuanbo enters the palace to see you!"

"Xuantong Yuanbo enters the palace to see you!"

"Xuantong Yuanbo enters the palace to see you!"

Liu Mingzhi looked at the palace gate and breathed a sigh of relief: "I went out to suppress bandits in April last year, and it was already April of the following year when I returned, time is unforgiving, and the years are ruthless!" Another year old! ”

Song Qing also sighed with the holy decree: "I haven't been home for a year, I'm homesick!" ”

Hearing the shouts coming from the palace in turn, Liu Mingzhi straightened out his official robes and nodded at the generals behind him: "Your Majesty is waiting for us, don't be rude!" ”

"Order!"

"Liu Mingzhi, the commander of the ministers and bandits, see Your Majesty!"

"Song Qing, the deputy general of the ministers and bandits, see Your Majesty!"

"Cheng Kai, the general on the left side of the minister's suppression of bandits, see Your Majesty."

"The general of the right side of the ministers and bandits............."

“..........”

"Everyone, love Qing is exempt!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!"

Li Zheng looked at Liu Mingzhi's somewhat vicissitudes of life and nodded lightly, he hadn't seen himself for a year, a close minister of the Son of Heaven, a little less immature and more steady.

The battlefield is the most tempering place!

"Your Majesty, Chen Liu Mingzhi will reply to Your Majesty, the three army commanders' seals, armor and robes are all here, the Great Seal of Qincha, and the sword of Shang Fang are here, please take it back!"

Li Zheng smiled lightly and signaled to Zhou Fei, and Zhou Fei walked down the steps to take the official robe in Liu Dashao's hand.

At this point, Liu Dashao's name of the commander of the bandits and the minister of Qincha no longer exists!

"Your Majesty, after more than one year and one month of suppression of bandits, a total of 4,152 traitors were captured, and 6,723 heads of rebels were captured, and the soldiers of the two guards suffered a total of 513 casualties and more than 422 people were killed in battle! The specific process is gathered in the fold to state the details, please see your majesty! ”

"Okay, bring it on!"

"Your Majesty, the minister is ordered to lead the minister of the Qin to inspect and demote the investigation of the case of the disappearance of tax silver, of which there are dozens of officials involved in the case, a total of 6.23 million taels of gold and silver, a total of eight people in the state capital, and the rest of the officials are all detained in Jiangnan Mansion, waiting for the arraignment of Dali Temple of the Criminal Department! The specific process is stated in detail in the recital, please look at it! ”

Li Zheng's face changed, and he withdrew his faint smile: "Submit it!" ”

"Yes!"

Li Zheng sat on top of the dragon case and carefully looked at the two notebooks presented by Liu Mingzhi, his face sometimes turned blue and sometimes purple, which made the ministers of civil and military affairs below tremble from time to time.

At the hour of half a pillar of incense, Li Zheng's face was gloomy, and he put down the fold in his hand: "Liu Aiqing, you follow me to the back of the palace!" ”

"Obey orders!"

Suddenly, a fine colored glazed official kiln teacup fell apart on the ground.

Li Zheng's fingers trembled and pointed at Liu Dashao: "Liu Mingzhi, it's the second time, this is already the second time, and none of the officials who commit crimes in your hands will end well!" Half of the officials in Qingzhou were beheaded by you, the eight prefectures under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou had to fight for the four prefectures, and more than half of the officials in Jiangnan were arrested by you, do you want to kill all my courtiers? ”

Liu Mingzhi hurriedly lowered his hand and didn't dare to look at the emperor's face: "Your Majesty, the minister was ordered to supervise the case of the loss of tax silver, and none of the dozens of officials involved were clean. ”

Li Zheng frowned, gritted his teeth, sat down in a chair, and gasped.

"Corrupt officials, corrupt officials, I rule the world, who is clean and who is not clean, I have a clear heart! Do you think I don't know if their butts are clean? But as the Son of Heaven, what do you want me to do? There are seven or eight out of ten officials in the world who are corrupt, I have killed them all, who will govern the world for me, although the officials are greedy, the people are disgusted by it, but without the governance of officials, the world will be chaotic, do you understand? Once these officials in Jiangnan are convicted, the entire ministry will not be able to find so many people to fill the vacancies! ”

"These corrupt officials and corrupt officials, they will all die with a wave of my pen, it can deter corrupt officials in the world, it's easy to say! But have you ever thought about it, the case of the loss of Jiangnan tax silver, the Jiangnan clerical officials went to the governor of the state capital and swept it away! ”

"All these officials have been arrested, someone has to fill the vacancy! Even if there are officials in the ministry to fill the vacancy, can you Liu Mingzhi guarantee that the newly appointed official is an honest and honest official? Outlaws who are not blinded by gold, silver and jewelry? ”

"You catch all the fat wolves that are well fed, and the ones you kill them send are hungry wolves with empty stomachs, what should they do if they want to be full? Isn't it greed and perversion of the law to eat the people and get fat? ”

"Kill a group of fat wolves and get a group of hungry wolves, for the country and the people, I must have an explanation!"

Liu Mingzhi's pupils earned the boss, knowing that the emperor's words were wrong, but he couldn't find any rebuttal!
