"Chen Kai, do you think of yourself as a courtier of the Ming Dynasty!"

Hearing this, Guo Zhiqi was furious. Monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, these are the words of the saints. The monarch is the minister, the father is the son, the husband is the wife, and the three guidelines and the five constants are the foundation of ethics and morality and the political system. Chen Kai opened his mouth here, but he was completely a bargaining attitude with the imperial court, and he was completely a businessman's face, how could he have the slightest consciousness of being a courtier.

If not, this is really a great mission, Guo Zhiqi has already brushed his sleeves away when he heard this, where will he continue to say more. It's just that as soon as these words came out, he immediately recalled Chen Kai's preface - as he said, they really didn't regard Chen Kai as an orthodox civil official, even if Chen Kai was loyal and filial, they might not believe it. In the mouths of some superficial guys, they may also use Chen Kai's "white body" to ridicule him for whether he understands what loyalty, filial piety and righteousness are......

and there shall be faithfulness in the ten-chambered city; The whole of Zhejiang, is there no material to be brave? These are the original words of Qi Jiguang's letter to the famous minister Hu Zongxian when he proposed to recruit soldiers, and it is also applicable in other parts of China.

Guo Zhiqi has been in the sea for a long time, and he has seen too many people and things of all kinds, and he knows best that there is never a shortage of people who are full of benevolence and morality in this world, and who are full of men and prostitutes. I don't really believe in the stupid words that you don't know loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness if you haven't read the Confucian and Mencian classics. It's just that even so, a figure like Chen Kai, who has already sealed the territory of the Ming court, can still say such things, which still makes him very uncomfortable.

The superintendent in front of him was like this, and he saw it all in Chen Kai's eyes. He had expected this, because his rhetoric was indeed not in line with the habits of this era, but he still chose it.

With a cold smile, Chen Kai then said to Guo Zhiqi, who was full of anger: "In the eyes of all the monarchs, shouldn't I, Chen Kai, be a contemporary Zhao Pu who is desperately loyal to the country and does his best to seek the supreme position for the Zheng family?" ”

Speaking of this, Chen Kai sneered: "I am a cousin-in-law with the surname of the country, and it seems that the relationship between Zhao Puzhi and Song Taizu's pure staff and the proprietor is closer. And Zhao Pu was known as the half-book Analect to rule the world back then, and I read some of it carefully when I was in Mengxue. If you go in and out like this, it seems to be really the same. ”

Chen Kai's tone was full of ridicule, and Guo Zhiqiyan couldn't hear it. Just didn't wait for him to react, but Chen Kai shouted: "You are too underestimated to me!" ”

There is no "unavoidable", there is no "bar", some are just categorical. Chen Kai's tone suddenly came together, which really made Guo Zhiqi, who was still full of resentment, stunned, and even the anger that rose to the sky was cut off.

Zhao Pu's statement had never been heard of among them, at least he had never heard of it. However, for so many years, the defense of the civil official group in western Guangdong against Chen Kai still lies in the center's defense of the feudal town - they are afraid of the continuous expansion of the Zheng group, the destruction of the authority of the small court by the big feudal town, and the inevitable choice that these Ming ministers will have to make between name and position once the Zheng group has the possibility of replacing the Ming.

If the power of the Zheng group is always limited to the scale controlled by the Ming court, then there will still be precautions, but it does not have to be the same as now. However, over the years, the power of the Zheng group has continued to expand, and the authority, land, and people that the Ming court can control have become less and less. The same problem is not limited to the Yongli court and the Zheng group, the former Qin palace and the current Jin palace are actually indispensable forces for the Yongli court, but they must be guarded against - if you want to prosper the Ming Dynasty, these forces must be relied on, but if the Ming Dynasty is prosperous, the feudal town is over-inflated in the process, then it is likely to lead to the end of someone else's wedding clothes.

Expecting a dynasty to have the consciousness that "if a change of dynasty can make the nation more prosperous, then all sacrifices are worth it" is a fool's dream, and it is only possible to look at history from a macro perspective.

Guo Zhiqi did not have this, and the Yongli Imperial Court did not have it either. As for Chen Kai, even if he can look at it like this, he may not really make such a choice, because from a more macro perspective, there are far more effective methods in this world than simply changing the dynasty.

"Advisory Bureau!"

"I'll just say that Inspector Guo is a smart person, otherwise he wouldn't have been invited again and again."

Chen Kai stroked his palm and praised, but Guo Zhiqi seemed to understand a lot in an instant: "However, the emperor and the ancestors ......"

"Inspector, the Ming people don't say dark words, the emperor and the ancestor system can't save the current Ming!" Unceremoniously interrupted Guo Zhiqi's words, and Chen Kaixuan immediately added: "I, Chen Kai, have no fame, but I have read some self-questions. Before the Emperor Ming, the Han, Jin, and Song dynasties were all on the verge of perishing, but they were able to achieve Zhongxing. In this, there is actually a commonality, which is precisely what Huangming has done the worst in the past ten years. ”

As soon as Chen Kai said this, Guo Zhiqi was stunned on the spot, where was there still a little bit of kung fu to nourish his qi. I have been reading for many years, and I dare not say that I have read history books all over the place, but I have really seen a lot, and naturally I am indispensable to the insights.

Here, the Zhongxing of the Three Dynasties that Chen Kai refers to is the three times that later generations called it the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty. Their predecessors, the Western Han Dynasty, the Western Jin Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty, died in the usurpation of foreign relatives, foreign invasions, and civil wars between relatives and vassals. However, after the three Zhongxing, the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty, Guozuo can be almost the same, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty is twice as much as the Western Jin Dynasty.

Guo Zhiqi had no concept of these numbers in his mind, but today, with Chen Kai's finger, even if there was only a vague impression, it was enough for him to suddenly realize.

It was the heroes of the Shi clan who helped Emperor Guangwu sweep away the heroes and rebuild the Yan Han!

It was the cooperation of the northern gate lords who moved south and the Shi landlords in the south of the Yangtze River that could stop the further extinction of the Han civilization by the Wuhu Rebellion!

It was the national policy of sharing the world with scholars and doctors that had been established as early as the Northern Song Dynasty, so that the four famous generals who fled to the south of the Yangtze River in embarrassment resisted the potential power of the Jin soldiers' ambition to completely destroy the Song Dynasty!

It is precisely in terms of winning over the scholar class, the backbone of the feudal era, that Nan Ming is far inferior to her opponent. In this way, with a dynasty that has been decaying for more than 200 years, against the newly rising barbarian regime that is on the rise, it is often only a matter of time before defeat is a matter of time.

Sitting on the Taishi chair, the shock in Guo Zhiqi's heart was beyond measure. As for the Consultative Bureau, he and the civilian-bureaucratic clique behind him did not think too much about it, but they were more inclined to Chen Kai to use the release of some local power to win over powerful people at the grassroots level, so as to strengthen his power in Guangdong. Now it seems that they really underestimate Chen Kai, their group of elites who have read poetry and books and fought in the officialdom for many years are far less able to see the essence more clearly than an "illiterate" who has not even taken the test as a child, and the difference between the two can even be said to be cloudy and mud!

"Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years. It is not a fluke that it has achieved today's achievements. ”

The shock reached its peak, and with a heartfelt sigh, even the salutation became a table. Chen Kaixun thanked him, but he couldn't help laughing in his heart.

On the surface, the biggest beneficiary of the dynasty was the royal family of the previous dynasty, but in fact it was a gluttonous feast for the scholar class. At this moment, it is no longer a bargain between different political groups seeking cooperation. Guo Zhiqi, and the civilian-bureaucratic clique behind him, have a political component of Confucian scholars. When class interests converge, all old grievances, former enmities, and all the unpleasantness of the past are just insignificant. Seeking to maximize benefits is the most important thing!
