0448 Civil-military disputes
Your Majesty!
I thought that this matter must not be done!
Chongzhen's fierce spirit, what a familiar sentence this is, but ,...... He hadn't heard of it in years.
I remember that when he first ascended the throne, the imperial historians were flying every day with this sentence of 'absolutely unacceptable', and even ,...... As long as it is approved by the emperor, they must never do it.
As if they didn't win the emperor, they would be ashamed of the official skin on their bodies.
These imperial historians are also ruthless enough, and the Wanli Emperor who is stubborn has not dared to go to court for decades, and several of the first assistants have gone into the wilderness.
What Chongzhen hated the most before was this sentence 'absolutely unacceptable', but it didn't come to pass,...... Now it's a natural sound?
Chongzhen smiled faintly and encouraged, "If Wen Aiqing has dissenting opinions, please say that it doesn't matter, I can still accept advice." ”
Wen Tiren gritted his teeth, and really said, "Your Majesty, my China has been the kingdom of the Celestial Empire since ancient times, and the poems, books and etiquette have been passed down from generation to generation, and they have been emulated by all nations.
Only when Wendao is prosperous can it be passed on for eternity, and martial arts is just pediatrics. ”
I have to say that what Wen Tiren said still has some truth, the Chinese civilization has been inherited for 5,000 years, radiating the entire East Asian cultural circle, and it relies on etiquette and literature on the surface.
But?
What Wen Tiren doesn't know is that people have a kind of cheapness, that is, Mu Qiang psychology.
When you are weak, no matter how much you give to others, others will take it for granted, and even think that you are afraid of him.
When you're strong, you're just farting, and people will think it's fragrant.
Some countries that are born to be beaten are more and more convinced, and the more they are beaten, the more they worship you, and in the end, they even let their families stay in Jun. (The name cannot be mentioned, so as not to affect the harmony of the world.) )
Therefore, the deepest reason why Chinese civilization can radiate so far is ,...... Powerful force.
Han and Tang dynasties!
Why didn't anyone say that the Great Song Dynasty was prosperous!
In fact, the Song Dynasty's economic development was far better than that of the Han and Tang Dynasties, but it was a send-off dynasty, so that when later generations mentioned the Song Dynasty, it was humiliating!
Even the most popular dynasties in later historical dramas are the Han and Tang dynasties, and the most admired dynasties in the entire East Asian cultural circle are also the Han and Tang dynasties, and the Han and Tang people are the representatives of Chinese civilization.
Why doesn't anyone say Song people, Ming people, Qing people?
In a word, a dynasty with such a weak force value is embarrassed to be worshipped? It's also embarrassing to represent Chinese civilization, phew~
But what about the facts?
Big Delivery: The economy is developed and the country is rich, why can't it represent Chinese civilization?
Da Ming: Iron bones, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies, this is the backbone of my Chinese civilization!
Daqing: Ahem~ Those who offend me in the Qing Dynasty, although they are far away, they will be compensated, but they also represent the hospitable side of our civilization!
Chongzhen took a sip of wine, moistened his throat, and said categorically, "Wen Aiqing, you think wrong, if there is no strong force to protect you, the ceremony will be soft and glutinous."
Look at the strong man, people really build the country by force, so even if it has been destroyed for so many years, the alien race still can't invade the Central Plains.
The Great Song Dynasty dressed people with ceremonies, and the warriors were trampled under the feet of the literati, and the civil officials ruled the world.
The result? Cut the land today, send money tomorrow, and in the end still ended up with a ridiculous name of 'those who offend my Great Song Dynasty, although they are far away, they will be sent'. ”
Those who offend my Great Song Dynasty, although they are far away, they will be sent?
Wen Tiren and the others looked confused, how could they never have heard such a ridiculous statement?
Uh~ But if you think about it carefully, it seems to be really vivid?
Chongzhen continued, "To put it bigger, only when the country is strong, your gift is the real gift, if the country is weak, your gift is given!"
In a country, culture can open up the wisdom of the people, military can stabilize the country, and civil and military coexist, so that it can achieve long-term peace and stability, and only then can it be peaceful for eternity!
And why do I have to build a country by force?
This is because the world is changing day by day, there are Europe, Africa, the Americas, and many overseas countries.
The world is so big, and there are so many resources.
Natural selection, survival of the fittest, if we don't fight, still stick to the so-called etiquette, do we want to wait for a day,......
Do people open our country and trample on our land and people? If I want to stand on top of the world, I must continue to fight! ”
Wen Tiren and the others who Chongzhen said were speechless, and they said in their hearts: Europe, Africa, and America of ghosts?
Why didn't I know that there were Europe, Africa, and America? Uh~ These countries are not in my Ming tributary system, why be afraid?
Wen Tiren and other civil officials want to refute, but they don't know how to refute it?
So he simply stared dryly, watching Chongzhen say nothing, while the generals were enthusiastic, eager to shout long live on the spot!
Even Zheng Sihai felt his blood boiling, although he was a businessman, he was also a businessman of the Ming Dynasty, and he also hoped that the country would be strong.
Not to mention anything else, if the country is strong, they can live a better life as businessmen!
Zheng Sihai is really moved, he just wants to make money desperately now, and then pay taxes to the country, only when the country has money, can he raise a strong army and defend them!
In the past, Donglin people fooled that businessmen should pay less taxes, phew~ Shinong industry and commerce are equal, why should we businessmen pay less taxes?
At this moment, Zheng Sihai's ideological realm was sublimated and became extremely sublime.
Many years later,......
Someone once asked Zheng Sihai: Why do you have to work so hard to make money and pay taxes?
Isn't tax evasion fragrant?
Zheng Sihai said disdainfully, "I am a person of faith, what do you understand?" You can only see the small interests under your nose. ”
Chongzhen saw that he had calmed everyone down, and continued to strike while the iron was hot, "To put it mildly, the generals are sleeping in the open at the border and are cold, and you are waiting for the literati to bake the fire and read in the greenhouse", who is more bitter?
The generals fight with their lives to kill the enemy, and they use their lives to exchange for a little merit; And when literati read, they can still make red sleeves to add fragrance, who is more bitter?
So isn't it right for me to protect the interests of the warriors in the form of law? I don't want my hero to shed blood and tears! ”
Although Wen Tiren and others still want to refute a few words.
However, their eloquence is really not Chongzhen's opponent, plus Chongzhen's last sentence,...... Can't let the hero shed blood and tears!
The contagious power of this sentence was too strong, and even the little palace maid who poured wine next to her was moved, and Wen Tiren and the others really couldn't refute it.
If you don't agree, won't you make the hero bleed and cry?
If it is recorded by the historian, even if the historian records it without any emotion, they have a feeling that they are about to be left behind for 10,000 years.
That's it, anyway, the world belongs to His Majesty!
Your Majesty can toss as much as he wants, we are also old, and we can live a comfortable life for a few years, but it is a big deal to resign when the time comes.
In this way, it will neither offend the people of the world nor His Majesty, which can be described as a double win!
