Xu Jie is not a timid person, he even dares to fight against Yan Song, a big corrupt official who is in the sky, how can he be timid and afraid, he just has a calm personality.

His character is quite calm, in history, Long Qing Dynasty, he is the first assistant of the cabinet, Zhang Juzheng is the second assistant of the cabinet, Zhang Juzheng must have also mentioned to him the issue of implementing the new policy, after all, Zhang Juzheng could not suddenly have a whim, and Long Qing Dynasty just implemented a whip law.

Zhang Juzheng's idea of implementing a whip law must have been there for a long time, but in the Longqing Dynasty, when Xu Jie's cabinet chief assistant, this whip law was not implemented.

This proves that Xu Jie definitely does not agree with the implementation of a whip law.

So, why doesn't he approve?

Xu Jie was arched out by Zhang Bangqi at this time, it was impossible to hide, he could only helplessly arch his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that although this whip method is good, it is a bit out of place, and now the strict party is excepted, the northwest and southeast have just stabilized, it is the time when a hundred wastes are waiting to be revived, there are many things we need to do, and the court is working together for the country and the people." And a whip law proposed by Lord Zhang will definitely be opposed by many people, and if there are many people who oppose it, Lord Zhang will definitely fight back, so that we will return to the old road of internal friction, when will Daming be able to prosper? “

This is indeed a problem, Xu Jie is tactfully reminding Yongqing not to return to the old road of the Jiajing Dynasty.

You must know that after so many years of Jiajing's reign, Daming didn't accomplish anything, and most of the time, the courtiers were busy with infighting.

When Yongqing heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning.

This courtier's infighting is really terrifying!

Although he is not very old, he has a deep understanding of the infighting in the Ming Dynasty, because since he can remember, the infighting in the Ming Dynasty has never stopped.

For a while, Yan Song and Yang Ming fought in the same vein, Qiu Luan and Zeng Midu for a while, Yan Song and Xia Yandou for a while, Yang Cong and Yan Song for a while, and so on, the Ming Dynasty has been struggling in the whirlpool of infighting, until the first emperor died, Yang Cong fought Yan Song, and all this ended.

Many times, people will remember the things they encountered when they were children, especially bad things, and many people will form a psychological shadow because of some bad things they encountered when they were children, so they are very repulsive or even afraid of similar things.

At this time, Yongqing's psychology has a shadow, he simply hates the courtiers' infighting, if the courtiers continue to fight like the Jiajing Dynasty, he doesn't know how to face it and how to solve it.

Xu Jie's words were equivalent to directly touching the shadow of his psychology, and he couldn't help but hesitate a little, should this whip method be implemented?

Perhaps, this is the fundamental reason why the Longqing Dynasty did not implement a whip law in history, because the Longqing Emperor, who is now the Yongqing Emperor, has a shadow in his psychology, and he is afraid of the courtiers' infighting.

If the emperor doesn't agree, the matter of implementing a whip law will be yellow.

Seeing this, Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but say anxiously: "Lord Xu, those who oppose a whip law must be corrupt and pervert the law, why should we care about those people, it's a big deal that we kill chickens and monkeys, whoever dares to jump out and oppose it, we will clean up whom, don't too many people clean up, they will be afraid, as long as they are afraid, no one will dare to object?" ”

You stunned young man, who said that those who oppose a whip law are corrupt and pervert the law, everyone has selfish intentions, everyone has a good life, who is willing to pay more land endowments, who is willing to take money out to hire people to work, the expenses of the official eunuch family are also very large, you do this, many official eunuch families can not maintain, it is strange that people do not object to you.

Of course, he wouldn't say these words in front of Yongqing, he just looked at Zhang Juzheng, and then at Yang Cong, and his eyes seemed to say, "Lord Yang, is this how you teach students?" This kid doesn't understand anything about the world, how can he mix in officialdom? ”

Seeing this, Yang Cong smiled slightly: "What Lord Xu said is indeed reasonable, if a whip law is implemented, there will definitely be people who oppose it, and there will be no fewer people who oppose it." However, we all know in our hearts that those who oppose it must be for private purposes rather than for the public. This, I think, we can't condone it, if everyone thinks that it is a matter of course to damage the public and private interests, then our Ming Dynasty will be in danger, and in the long run, how can the imperial court maintain it? You must know that there are so many good fields in the world, and if we don't stop the behavior of harming the public and private interests, more and more people will definitely follow suit, and in this way, won't the court become poorer and poorer? ”

This seems to be reasonable, at this time everyone knows that the field can be exempted by various methods, and even the work of farming can be used to make the people do it, and they don't need to spend a penny!

This kind of good thing, everyone is not thinking of a way to emulate, and the more people who follow suit, the more tax losses the court will have, and in this way, the court will not become poorer and poorer!

This has been proved by history, starting from the eleventh year of Wanli, after the abolition of the new policy implemented by Zhang Juzheng, the Ming court is indeed getting poorer and poorer, to the Tianqi Dynasty and the Chongzhen Dynasty, the court can not even send the food and salary of the border army, it can be said that in history, the reason why the Ming Dynasty perished, the court has no money is a big factor.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Cong said solemnly: "To put it mildly, if the imperial court is poor to a certain extent, it will also destroy the country!" Think about it, if the imperial court can't even pay the food and salary of the border army, will the border army rebel? If the local area suffers from a large-scale drought or flood, and the imperial court has no money to provide disaster relief, will the common people rebel? This is not alarmist, if we connive at the court officials and those so-called official eunuch families to harm the public and private interests, one day, the court will be so poor that it will not even be able to pay the food and salary of the border army, and at that time, what should we do? ”

This problem is indeed quite serious, Xu Jie was stunned when he heard this, he is not the kind of "who cares about the flood after I die", he also has ideals and ambitions, and he also wants the Ming Dynasty to prosper.

When Yongqing heard this, his eyes were about to bulge out.

Subjugation!

Which emperor would want to?

He hurriedly asked, "Teacher, how are we doing?" ”

Yang Cong straightened his face and said firmly: "Taiyue's implementation of a whip law is a good opportunity, a good opportunity to get rid of bad habits, re-measure the land, and let those landlords and gentry and official eunuchs spit out all the taxes that embezzled the imperial court, this will indeed have many people who oppose it, but they can also oppose it, and it will not be a rebellion, as long as we focus on punishing a few real corrupt people, this unhealthy trend will be suppressed, and when the time comes, the tax revenue of the imperial court will definitely increase. The Ming Dynasty is bound to become stronger and stronger. If we endure the pain of the moment and avoid the worries of a hundred days, why don't we do it? ”

As soon as he said this, Yongqing couldn't help but high-five and exclaimed: "Yes, just do it!" ”

Xu Jie was silent, he just didn't want to cause infighting in the court, if he didn't fight this time, the Ming Dynasty would have the disaster of losing the country, and he said that he still had a clear distinction between infighting and the death of the country.

Zhang Bangqi and Mao Bowen have nothing to say, they are originally neutrals, of course, whoever has a reason will listen to whomever they want.
