Sun Chengzong thought for a while and said to Tianqi: "The minister can understand the emperor's mood at this time, but please don't make a judgment lightly. The minister suggested that all the soldiers of Hongshanwei should be brought to Phi Island to be managed and trained by Mao Wenlong, and all the officers of Qianhu and Baihu should be sent to serve in various places in the southwest, because there was a shortage of officers after the chaos had just been quelled. The latest free chapters of the book can be found here. The chief and deputy commanders of Hongshanwei escorted them to Beijing for examination within three days, and if the emperor insisted on executing them after three days, they deserved it. ”

Apocalypse said, "Yes, just do as Mr. says." But since all three of you are here today, I'll let you each do something. You can invite President Cao of the Huguang Chamber of Commerce to discuss together, what kind of attitude this businessman should have towards facing the imperial court ♀ is also Lord Liu's responsibility, you have to let them have a correct attitude, if they can't recognize what they should do, how to restrain their ever-expanding greed, then I will continue to increase the restrictions on them. As for these big families, if they don't have a deep understanding and practical actions in the future, I don't mind raiding and killing people. ”

Liu Yixiao said: "If something like this happens, everyone doesn't want to see it, since the emperor said this, does it mean that as long as they admit their mistakes and submit to softness, they can be let go home?" ”

Apocalypse said: "It is not enough to just admit their mistakes and give in to softness, but to find out where the root lies in the depths of their thoughts, I will continue to pay attention to their behavior." You tell them that they don't have a second chance to be forgiven here, and let them think more about their wishes when they were poor when they are fine, and they can be satisfied if they are already better off than ordinary people, and don't want people's hearts to be lost by silver higher than the sky. ”

After Liu Yixiao agreed, Tianqi said to Liu Zongzhou: "The duty of your Holy Academy is to exchange and gather all kinds of ideas, and at the beginning, I told Lord Liu that the Holy Academy also has an important duty, I don't know what Lord Liu remembers?" ”

Liu Zongzhou said: "The minister remembers, it is to prevent heresy from poisoning the world!" The minister didn't take it to heart and caused this incident to happen, please ask the emperor to punish the crime! ”

Tianqi said: "This is a long-term and grand project, it is not strange that something goes wrong, and Lord Liu does not have to blame himself for making amends. However, this ideological problem is the most difficult problem to solve, I don't know how Lord Liu is going to start? ”

Liu Zongzhou said: "The minister remembers that he discussed with the emperor at that time, and this solution to people's thoughts is like controlling water, which can only be channeled but not blocked. The minister intends to open up two places of debate in the Holy Academy, one of which can be called open debate, where different mature ideas can collide and merge, and where others can be inspired; The other is a private debate, where less mature ideas can be mutually corroborated, in order to achieve common progress and complement each other, I wonder what the emperor thinks? ”

Tianqi said: "You can try it for a while, but if you can't convince the other party, what is Lord Liu going to do?" This is very likely to happen. ”

Liu Zongzhou thought for a while and said: "Since we can't convince each other, it means that each has a certain reason. And there can be no judge for this kind of thing, because no one can stand at that height, how about the emperor come up and make a holy judgment? ”

Tianqi shook his head and said: "I am a little luckier than you when I was just reincarnated, and my intelligence is far less than that, and the words of the Holy Judge will not be mentioned in the future∞ which means that if there is a situation that is comparable to each other, record it, and slowly seek common ground while reserving differences." The same point of view is fixed and applied in practice, and the different points of view are put there and let time and practice prove it. Since you have decided to start, you have to start with something, just like choosing a day and opening a project to do business, I mean to let Huo Weihua, Qiao Yingjia and other complaining officials come first. ”

Liu Zongzhou asked: "As court officials, they privately slandered the emperor, doesn't the emperor want to punish them?" ”

Apocalypse said: "Although they are wrong, but there is also something wrong with me employing people from behind, you let them study and debate in the Holy Academy, as long as they find a fair and reasonable system for the use of officials after debate, I will not blame them but will be rewarded." ”

Seeing that Liu Zongzhou and Liu Yixiao had nothing to say, Tianqi asked the two of them to go to do something. After the two of them left, Tianqi said to Sun Chengzong: "Mr. Sun, I know that you are also from Donglin Academy, Wei Zhongxian once said that the people of Donglin Academy are from the Donglin Party, I don't know what Mr. thinks of the relationship between the Donglin Party and the imperial court?" ”

Sun Chengzong is a member of the Donglin Party, which is something that everyone knows, although it is not something to be ashamed of, but in line with the words of the sage who wants to follow the gentleman and not the party, no one said it. Tianqi also knew but never said it, because he was afraid that Sun Chengzong would be embarrassed, in fact, Tianqi's heart has always been full of good feelings for the members of the Donglin Party, no matter what their thoughts are, at least one thing is certain, that is, absolute and unquestionable loyalty. But this tabloid incident made Apocalypse realize that the loyalty of the Donglin Party is not unconditional, or that not all people are 100% loyal.

Sun Chengzong also knew that Tianqi had no ill feelings towards the Donglin Party, and the officials of the main ministries of the DPRK and the Central Committee were basically Donglin Party members, which showed that Tianqi had a lot of trust in the Donglin Party. If this incident makes Tianqi have an opinion on the Donglin Party, or even shakes the trust of the Donglin Party in Tianqi's heart, it will be a huge loss for the entire Donglin Party.

Sun Chengzong thought for a while and said: "Whether it is a minister, Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Gao Panlong and others, we are the emperor's courtiers first, and then other identities." Moreover, we only recognize the purpose of Donglin Academy and regard it as comrades, and it will not affect our loyalty to the emperor in the slightest. ”

Tianqi thought for a while and said: "Sir, I began to tell Liu Zongzhou to let Huo Weihua, Qiao Yingjia and other officials with complaints go to the Holy Academy to debate, the purpose is to find a fair and reasonable system for officials to use ♀ Since it is a debate, there should be pros and cons, I mean to let the people of Donglin Academy go to debate with them, and it is those two people who take the lead in the uprising, I don't know what Mr. thinks?" ”

Sun Chengzong understood the meaning of the apocalypse as soon as he heard it, these two people were just enthusiastic and happened to be accidental, so they were impulsive, and they deserved bad luck to be used and instructed by others. Now the Apocalypse wants them to come out and debate with those complaining officials, not because he likes their eloquence, but because he wants them to show their attitude, or to see the attitude of the people in the entire Donglin Academy. But this is also a good thing, at least the apocalypse didn't say that he was going to kill and bury them, after all, the matter was provoked by them, and no one could say anything if they were killed and buried, and it was also merciful for the apocalypse to help them get out by saying a few words.

Sun Chengzong thought for a while and said: "This incident has affected merchants, court officials, guards and people in the academy, since the debate should not be limited to the debate between the court officials and the people in the academy, but also let other people participate, so as to be convincing." ”

Tianqi sighed and said: "It seems that Mr. still wants to thin the two commanders of the Red Mountain Guard, so let's think about the affairs of the soldiers, anyway, there are still three days of debate in the academy, let the businessmen also talk about the situation, dig out the selfishness and greed in the depths of their souls, and see if they can change their hearts and change their ways." In fact, a few days ago, at the court meeting, I asked everyone to think about the promotion of officials, the investment channels of large households, and the cap of profits of 20%, and it happened that when we went to debate together in the Holy Academy, the wisdom of everyone must be higher, much better than one or two people working behind closed doors at home. ”

Sun Chengzong had no choice but to retreat and go back, and when he arrived at the Military Affairs Courtyard and saw that everyone was waiting for him, he asked Wang Yongguang: "What happened?" Why don't you do anything? ”

Wang Yongguang said: "Lord Sun, I heard that Hongshanwei was disarmed by the people of the Bohai Naval Region, and the surrounding garrisons were very surprised, and they all went up to ask what was going on, and the general soldiers in Shandong, Shanxi, Henan and other places were asking, asking if the imperial court wanted to check the guards in various places, and some people said that they wanted to check whether they welcomed but could they pay the arrears of salaries and silver, how do you think you should reply?" ”

Sun Chengzong thought for a while and said: "This incident is an accident, not what the imperial court wants to do to them." You immediately convey the emperor's latest will to the localities and ask them to remember that a soldier's vocation is loyalty and obedience, and there is no room for anything else under loyalty and obedience! ”
