Volume 4 Chapter 144 Think Twice Before You Act

Yang Cong thought for a long time about the outline of the new deal written by Zhang Juzheng, and then sighed leisurely and put down the scroll in his hand.

It is undeniable that Zhang Juzheng is indeed a genius, he dares to reform, he dares to innovate, he is not afraid of risks, he is not afraid of offending people, as long as he recognizes that it is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, he will move forward bravely and without hesitation, it can be said that he is a great reformer.

However, it was precisely because he was arbitrary, completely disregarded the opinions of others, that he offended too many people, thus laying the foundation for his children and grandchildren, and his reforms could not be said to be successful, because after his death, the New Deal was overturned.

It seems that this disciple still needs to be taught well.

Yang Cong sighed, and then asked leisurely: "Taiyue, have you ever thought that doing this will offend people, and many, many people don't want you to do this, you know?" ”

Zhang Juzheng said awe-inspiringly: "Teacher, of course the students understand that it is precisely because these people disregard the interests of the country, the lives and deaths of the people, and blindly seek personal interests, that the Ming Dynasty will gradually decline, what if you offend them, as long as the Ming Dynasty can go to Zhongxing, as long as the people can live a good life, even if the Manchu Dynasty civil and military are all offended, the students don't care." ”

You kid also know that you will offend the Manchu civil and military?

Yang Cong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's not a matter that you don't care, you are not implementing the new policy to offend people, but to let the Ming Dynasty go to Zhongxing, so that the people can live a good life, you have to understand this." ”

Zhang Juzheng was a little puzzled: "Teacher, the implementation of the new policy will offend people, can those insatiable people still agree with the new policy and obediently give up the interests in their hands?" ”

Yang Cong shook his head and patiently taught: "You are a little too extreme, do you know, it is not Yan Song who is in power at this time, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are not all corrupt officials or insatiable people, among the courtiers, there are still Qingliu, and there are quite a few, you must first win the support of these Qingliu, you know." If you don't fight for it, they will be won over by corrupt officials or insatiable people who will turn against you. After all, everyone has classmates, fellow students, or relatives and friends, and sometimes, due to the fetters of family or friendship, Qingliu will also stand on the side of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, you know? If you want to implement the New Deal, you have to win over all these clear currents in advance, so that they don't stand against you because of other factors. ”

Of course, Zhang Juzheng has considered this problem, but he also considered it a little extreme, he thinks that almost all courtiers will stand on the opposite side of him out of family affection or friendship, after all, he is going to grab money from the landlord gentry and the official eunuch family, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military and the landlord gentry and the official eunuch family are inextricably linked, and even many people are originally from the official eunuch family, even if they are honest, family and friends have to live, will people care about relatives and friends in vain in order to help you implement the new policy?

He believes that such people are rare.

Moreover, people who really serve the country and the people will stand on his side without having to fight for it, so he basically didn't think about winning the support of all Qingliu.

Teacher, you know what, your ideas are a little too whimsical.

Of course, it was impossible for him to say this about Yang Cong, he just sighed helplessly: "Teacher, it's not that students don't want to win the support of the North Korean and Central Governments, the problem, it is too difficult to win their support, you also know that everyone has classmates, fellow subjects, or relatives and friends, how can they ignore their classmates and fellow subjects, and abandon their relatives and friends to support students?" ”

Yang Cong shook his head and smiled slightly: "How is it impossible? Doesn't being like a teacher support you unconditionally? If your teachers can support you, will your brothers and sisters also support you? Also, being a teacher can also influence Lord Zhang, Lord Xu, Lord Mao, and so on. In short, as long as you come forward for the teacher, you can definitely help you pull a large group of supporters, don't you doubt this? ”

Of course, Zhang Juzheng does not doubt this, of course he knows how much influence his mentor Yang Cong has in the court, and if his mentor can help him with all his might, most of the Qingliu in the DPRK will be on his side.

The teacher is really good to himself, generally speaking, the teacher has something to do with the disciples, but he is the opposite, and he has to worry about the teacher when he has something.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be moved: "Thank you to the teacher, even if the student is broken bones, he can't repay the teacher!" “

What are these words, I don't mean that at all, okay?

When Yang Cong heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Okay, Taiyue, if you want to become a big thing, you can't think about these private emotions all day long, do you know?" The reason why the teacher supports you is not because you are a student of the teacher, but because what you do is beneficial to the country and the people, and you have to distinguish this clearly. Think about it, if you want to bring disaster to the country and the people, will the teacher support you? ”

Of course, this is impossible, Zhang Juzheng hurriedly defended: "Teacher, students will never do anything that will bring disaster to the country and the people." ”

Yang Cong smiled slightly, and continued to teach: "The teacher is just an example, to prove that there are still virtuous ministers in the DPRK who serve the country and the people, such as Lord Zhang, Lord Mao, as long as you can get their full support, with their influence, will you have a large number of supporters?" ”

When Zhang Juzheng heard this, he nodded thoughtfully, and then he arched his hand and said, "Disciple understands, thank you for your teacher's teaching." ”

Where is this, do you think this is the end?

Yang Cong then asked: "How to implement the new policy, have you considered it?" ”

Zhang Juzheng hurriedly nodded and said: "Of course this disciple has considered it, if you want to implement the new policy, you must first have the emperor's nod, as long as the emperor approves it and issues a holy decree, who dares to disobey?" ”

You kid, is that something to think about?

To put it mildly, Yongqing is your junior brother, plus your new policy can increase the tax of the imperial court, which is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, can people disagree?

Yang Cong shook his head again and smiled bitterly: "Taiyue, what you think is a bit too simple, sometimes, some things, just the emperor agrees is useless, you have to really work the people below." For example, if you don't resist the decree and don't follow it, you will be given a yang and yin violation, so what can you do? ”

This one?

Zhang Juzheng didn't think about it either!

Do people dare to disobey the yang?

Not to mention, there are more people who dare to disobey the yang and the yin, and he dares to do it himself, if he thinks this thing is not appropriate, he will also disobey the yang and the yin and deal with it negatively!

Thinking of this, he was a little embarrassed and said, "Teacher, this disciple really hasn't thought about how to prevent others from disobeying the yang and yin, and ask the teacher to teach." ”

When Yang Cong heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head again and said, "You, you have to think twice before you act, you know?" Can you rush into battle without thinking about anything, can you carry out the new policy? Even if you rely on the emperor's favor to push the new policy forward, how long can the new policy last? In the unfortunate event that you pass away and your teacher is gone, will anyone still follow this new policy? ”
