"Your Majesty, do you think that if you back down, they will regard you as the Holy Lord Mingjun, and they will be loyal to you from now on?"

Yang Xin said with a smile.

"Isn't that so?"

Apocalypse said.

Although he doesn't read much history books, he will still read some after all, and several main persons in charge of the Academy of Sciences are also Confucians after all, and it is indispensable to occasionally tell him some historical stories. Obviously, he also began to learn to think about some political issues, he didn't care about this in the past few years, at that time, the most important thing for him was silver, to make money to maintain the war situation, and to repair the three major halls was the most important. Now that the three major halls have been completed, the battle situation is stable, and the urgency of the silver has decreased, he has also begun to think about the problem of sitting firmly in the country.

After all, at present, the contradictions between the various factions in the Ming Dynasty are becoming more and more intense, and he is also very clear.

It didn't matter before.

Even if those people hate, they hate Yang Xin and Wei Zhongxian, and at most they scold him behind their backs, but now that they have taken action and pointed their knives at him, he has to think about whether it is time to take some measures to ease the contradictions.

They failed in one assassination attempt, what if it doesn't stop like this in the future? Can you dodge once or twice, can you dodge eight or nine times? They keep assassinating like this, and there will always be a time when they will be killed. If you really can't do it, you can choose to back down, calm the emotions of the gentry, and let yourself sleep peacefully.

"Is the temple enough to back down?"

Yang Xin said.

Apocalypse stopped talking.

"The weavers of Suzhou burned the tax office at the instigation of the gentry, injured the tax supervisor, killed the tax collector, the temple chose to endure, the tax supervisor went to ask the Suzhou prefect to suppress the latter and said that he didn't care, the temple also endured, Ge Cheng, who was executed by his order, was refused to be executed by the magistrate, and he also endured, and Ge Cheng is still alive. The tax supervisors in Yunnan were killed by hundreds, and the temple endured it in the end, the tax supervisors in Huguang were beaten and hid in the Chu Wang's Mansion like a lost dog, and the tax collectors outside were thrown into the Yangtze River and drowned, and the temple also endured. Li Sancai instructed the death row prisoner to falsely accuse the tax collector of being an accomplice, and then killed him directly without even playing the music, and the temple also endured it, and Linqing directly set fire to the tax collector and burned him to death, and he also endured it.

So did the gentry say that he was the Holy Lord Mingjun?

No.

They say that the temple is neglecting.

If the temple wanted to charge an extra tax of one million taels a year, and they could not get 30% of it, they dared to burn the tax supervisor and drown him.

And then they also said that the temple was in a state of neglect.

The temple wanted to do something, they shouted and shouted and killed, and then the temple endured, but they said that the temple was neglecting, but did anyone dare them do this to Taizu? Do they dare to kill Taizu's people? We have copied a total of dozens so far, and they can't stand scolding Your Majesty for being a tyrant, and Taizu of the empty seal case has arrested tens of thousands of people at a time, did they dare to resist at that time?

None of them dared to resist.

There is a saying that people are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden.

The temple endured them.

They had to take an inch, and when the temple took a step back, they went further, until they forced the temple to the point that they couldn't even leave the palace gate, and they scolded the temple for neglecting its government.

Taizu never couldn't bear to let them, and he didn't show mercy when he needed to kill.

They honestly endured it.

Even Taizu directly confiscated their land and sent their clan to the north to open up the wasteland, they didn't dare to resist except for crying a few times, and honestly went to open up the wasteland.

Your Majesty, these people are all cheap bones, you can't get used to them, the knife in the temple's hand is not good, don't dare to use the knife against them, but Your Majesty has the knife of the minister, you don't need to be afraid of them, it should be that they are afraid of you, what you need is to make them fear you like they are afraid of Taizu. ”

Yang Xin said.

Apocalypse nodded with feeling.

Of course, he is not his ancestor after all, since he has begun to retreat, then he will not be able to hold it in the future, Yang Xin does not dare to guarantee how long His Majesty the Emperor can hold out, and now he can only say that he can hold on as long as possible. In the final analysis, Tianqi is the emperor after all, he and Yang Xin have essential differences in principle, what Tianqi wants is that his country can be stable, but it would be nonsense to say that an emperor will care too much about the life and death of the people.

Apocalypse supports Yang Xin just that the gentry have gone too far, the emperor doesn't even have enough money to spend, there must be someone like Yang Xin who goes out to get money for him, and this money is just because it's easier to get money from the gentry.

It is too dangerous to fish from the peasants, this is very clear to the nine thousand years old, and he has estimated that he has already analyzed it with the apocalypse.

From the gentry......

Especially from the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it is the least dangerous, these guys have money, the strongest ability to bear, fishing from the peasants is easy to cause the common people to rebel, nine thousand years old is very clear that at this time the peasants have been squeezed to the limit. Once the oppression continues to increase, it is really possible to trigger a rebellion, and then it will be troublesome, but the gentry will not rebel, especially in this way of raiding their homes every once in a while, those gentry who have not been raided will not fight hard to protect the raided homes.

This is not the same as the Red Turbans.

The Red Turban Army was aimed at the entire gentry class, so they immediately started group training, but it was only for a certain family's raid, and they would not force those gentry to unite to resist.

But to say that the apocalypse is for the common people is pure nonsense.

But Yang Xin is different.

What Yang Xin wants is to use all means to survive the natural disasters that will last for the next few decades.

Apocalypse will ease his relationship with the gentry if he needs it.

But Yang Xin had no room for relaxation.

Therefore, how long can this road go, now Yang Xin has no bottom, since the apocalypse has been shaken, sooner or later the contradictions will intensify to a certain point, and in order to calm things down, he will choose to retreat. Wanli's example didn't really move him, because the result of Wanli's concession was that he had been a stable emperor in the palace for forty-eight years, and what Tianqi needed was also a stable life, and he needed to use concessions to maintain his current days of conducting research in the Academy of Sciences......

That's not impossible.

Now the apocalypse can still hold on, just because he is still young, after all, he is not the kind of Wanli who can be said to be like an old fox, and he can still continue under Yang Xin's encouragement.

But it's just a continuation.

Then Yang Xin continued to work with Tianqi for a while, and then found a reason to retire, before he left the Academy of Sciences, he saw a carriage driving outside, and it was the Keshi who was crying unkempt......

"Long live the Lord decreed that a nunnery was built for Mrs. Fengsheng in Wutai Mountain, Shanxi, and Mrs. Fengsheng recited the scriptures there in the future, and gave 10,000 taels of silver every year.

Keguang killed himself first.

Hou Guoxing was demoted to a commoner, and he was also sent to Wutai Mountain to serve Mrs. Fengsheng, and he was not allowed to leave for the rest of his life. ”

The little eunuch beside him whispered.

"Your Majesty still misses the old!"

Yang Xin said.

Obviously, Apocalypse still couldn't bear to kill the Hakka family.

From this point of view, His Majesty the Emperor is still a little soft-hearted after all, but the Hakka family can be regarded as an end, Zhang Yan will not let her go, and after two years, the apocalypse will completely forget her, and one day it will be nothing more than to send her a glass of poisonous wine. When the time comes, the supervising eunuch will just report his death, and everyone in the palace will play like this, if this woman is not too stupid, she can have a good ending.

It's a pity it's stupid.

She didn't know who she was.

Even if there is no such thing, it won't take many years for her to lose power, she can't compare with young people after all, at that time, Zhang Yan will kill her, with her age, it can be said that it is only a matter of time before she fails to play this kind of palace fight.

The Hakka carriage drove out of his field of vision in the cold wind.

"Hejian Hou, thank you!"

Zhang Yan's voice suddenly sounded.

The little eunuch lowered his head in fright, and hurriedly pretended not to hear anything, it was obvious that Her Royal Highness was already too excited to help herself, and could not wait to share the joy of victory with her embarrassed allies.

"Your Royal Highness, your journey to battle is still early!"

Yang Xin said.

Of course, to be precise, it is the road of Gong Dou.

"Then I'll have to ask Hejian Hou to continue to help!"

Her Royal Highness the Queen, who was holding a cat in her arms, said quite enchantingly.

Her road to palace fighting is indeed long, and Tianqi is not the only woman, among the top three beauty pageants who entered the palace at the same time as her, there is also Concubine Wang Liang, but this has no children, and the imperial concubine Fan, that is, the mother of the eldest daughter of the emperor, in fact, she also has a son, a year later than Zhang Yan, who was also born in the Yang Family Hospital, but then died in the palace, it is difficult to say whether it is the hand of the Hakka family.

Nine thousand years old before, he sent a niece and granddaughter Ren into the palace, that is, Concubine Ren Rong, who was also pregnant at this time, and she also gave birth to a son in history, the one who was scared to death by the apocalypse explosion. There is also Concubine Li Cheng, she also has a daughter, originally she was persecuted by the Hakka family very badly in history, and was even demoted to a palace maid, but now it is not time, she is relieved from the fall of the Hakka family, and she has a good relationship with Fan Guifei.

So Zhang Yan's road to palace fighting has just begun, in a sense.

Before, the Hakka were their common enemy.

Under the persecution of the Hakka clan, these women can only be said to resist desperately and can't care about fighting each other, but now that the Hakka clan is gone, it is time for these women to fight with each other.

Especially Fan's.

The imperial concubine can be equivalent to the deputy queen.

Although her son was not saved, being able to have two in a row with Apocalypse is enough to prove that she is still very favored by Apocalypse, and this kind of thing can't be faked.

And the child in Concubine Ren Rong's belly is also a huge threat, you must know that this was sent to the palace at the age of nine thousand, and it originally meant to replace Zhang Yan, although the Hakka family is gone, but the nine thousand years old is still in full swing. In case it is a son, then Zhang Yan is in danger, especially in this regard, Yang Xin will definitely not help her, at most she is just neutral, in comparison, Concubine Ren Rong and the Yang family are a family, such as Huang Ying and Concubine Ren Rong are good.

"Her Royal Highness, I only protect the crown prince."

Yang Xin said.

After saying that, he walked away proudly.

Later, Her Royal Highness the Queen continued to pet the cat with a smile......

"You, follow Hongu in the future!"

She said to the little eunuch.

"Slave and maid Zun Niang Yi Zhi!"

The latter said tremblingly.
