The third volume sailed in the Ming Dynasty

Chen Yan is in prison, Xue Guoguan went to stay and said, although the remaining momentum is still there, but after all, it is going downhill.

And Zhang Sizhi, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, is the emperor's teacher, and in this case, he is one of the powerful candidates for the first assistant.

But looking at what he did, he wanted to catch them all, which was a little overwhelming.

Don't you know that even if something happens to them, there are still countless protégés and former officials, and it is very unwise to be a lot of potential enemies under their own tree.

For a while, everyone's faces were different, and their eyes were focused on Qin Haoming, Zhang Sizhi and the high-flying Emperor Chongzhen, secretly speculating about the next direction.

Lu Xiangsheng frowned slightly for a moment, and then immediately let go, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, what did he worry about for him?

Looking at what this son has done, how can he ever be reckless?

This scene fell in Youxin's eyes, and it added a little mystery.

"Nonsense! Qin Aiqing must not be gullible, today's deliberations are the mainstay. ”

To everyone's surprise, Chongzhen's light words were revealed, as if what Qin Haoming said before was just a joke.

In fact, if it weren't for the wrong time and place, if it happened suddenly, Chongzhen was really moved. It was the actions of the courtiers that had disappointed him to the core.

The lame reason is broken as soon as it is stabbed, and it is not tenable at all, but they all resist, even if you are the son of heaven?

There is still nothing to do about them, after all, they have to do it. Now, the appearance of Qin Haoming has given him expectations in his heart and tried to change the pattern.

"Those who do not seek eternity are not enough to seek a moment!

All the ministers are the elite of the Ming Dynasty, and they bear the heavy responsibility of serving the country and caring for the people, which can be said to be a matter of family and country security.

Then ask yourself, the country is so difficult, have you ever been dedicated to the country? ”

Qin Haoming looked around at the two rows of courtiers standing neatly in pain, and sighed infinitely in his heart.

Those who can stand above the court are not incompetent, they are all winners who have experienced how many open guns and hidden arrows have been able to have today.

If they don't even understand these simple truths, it will be humiliating to others and themselves, and to underestimate others and overestimate themselves.

However, one by one, they forgot the righteousness when they saw small profits, and they were angry.

"It is still necessary to think about danger when you live in peace, let alone when you are suffering from internal and external troubles?

You should know that the Ming Dynasty is stable, and we are like clothes with crowns, and wood and water with origins. Its glory and wealth will also be passed on from generation to generation, and future generations will have no worries.

Otherwise, I am afraid that aliens and traitors will kill you, and you will not be able to get it even if you want to compromise and seek everything. ”

After Qin Haoming finished speaking, there was finally some movement in the court.

First, Lu Xiangsheng stood up and expressed his support for the imperial court's collection of commercial taxes, and then Yang Tinglin and some other non-party and non-factional subordinate officials also stood up to express their support.

However, the leaders of several parties remained silent and did not express their positions.

There are too many interests involved, and they are too complicated to let go easily.

Qin Haoming, who was standing on the side, shook his head helplessly, but a trace of realization rose in his heart.

According to the orthodoxy of Confucianism, scholars and doctors are all pursuing the use of the world, and Mencius once said: "If you want to rule the world peacefully, who else will I do in today's world?"

Scholars and emperors rule the world together, and the traditional Confucian scholars and doctors "worry about the worries of the world first, and enjoy the joy of the world after the world", which is more pragmatic politically.

In times of crisis, you can endure humiliation and burden, knowing that you can't do it, even if you sacrifice your life for the country.

However, after the middle of the Ming Dynasty, traditional Confucianism was impacted by the study of mind and qi, and the spiritual pursuit of scholars and doctors underwent great changes.

Instead of pursuing the perception of the heart and surname, the pursuit of the perfection of moral cultivation, more emphasis on one's own name, self-centeredness.

Pragmatic and helpful will no longer be mentioned, and everyone is more willing to talk about empty words.

It is impossible to endure humiliation, and the most important thing is to ensure that your reputation is not stained. Sacrificing one's life for the country needs to be considered, but there is nothing wrong with the Day of Righteous Death.

It's just that the righteous death festival mentioned here is not for the country, but for the sake of one's own reputation!

This is not difficult to explain, why did the Ming Dynasty have so many imperial historians, regardless of the danger of the court staff, but also insisted on what they said, even if it was wrong?

Just like these people in front of you, isn't that exactly the case!

Even if Chongzhen ordered them to be killed on the spot, they would not compromise, but would complete their reputation, and Chongzhen became a tyrant, how ridiculous?

"Your Majesty, since the ministers are serious about the country, they don't want to cause more trouble.

Wechen suggested that it is better to try to levy commercial taxes in Fujian and Guangzhou, and then implement the whole territory of Daming after maturity, how about it? ”

They can afford it, but Qin Haoming can't afford it. If it is forced, without conscientious officials, no matter how good the policy is, it will be just a piece of paper.

It's better to cut through the mess quickly and start it in your own area first.

Chongzhen's eyes lit up, and he secretly praised Qin Haoming's quick wit. There are many officials in Jiangnan and they are deeply rooted, and without their support and cooperation, they really can't play.

That's why I compromise with them.

Originally, I thought that today would be over, but I didn't want the peak to turn around, there was such a buffer opportunity, coupled with future planning, Chongzhen's heart was transparent.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of Qin Aiqing's words?"

In the last word, Chongzhen suddenly raised his voice, revealing a hint of murderous intent.

If this is the case, they still have to stop it, and he doesn't mind letting everyone see the majesty of the Heavenly Family.

"No objection to the ministers!"

Finally, several people replied in unison.

Dead friends don't die poor!

As long as it is not in his hometown, he has an explanation to his clansmen and fellow villagers, what else does it matter to them?

The court meeting in June of the twelfth year of Chongzhen is of far-reaching significance, with the end of the early dynasty, all the news is no longer a secret, restaurants and some Fengyue places, talking about the content of this court meeting.

Of course, Qin Haoming is the main object in the mouth of the public.

It's just that the time is still short, and the news has not yet spread, and it is currently limited to some high-ranking officials in the court.

"Your Majesty, they don't need the court to live a fine life. To put it mildly, even if you are the emperor of the emperor, you are quite inferior in life.

In this way, it is naturally not easy to want them to be loyal to national affairs. ”

The courtiers were talking about Qin Haoming in private, and he was also talking to Chongzhen about the courtiers.

After the next court, he was still out of the palace, and was called to the palace by Wang Chengen.

After hearing this, Chongzhen's face was gloomy, and after a while, he said slowly: "It is difficult to find virtuous appearances, there is no model for hundreds of officials, there are naturally no taboos, and there are small and small clusters." ”

"I am afraid that it can be solved by virtue, but the problem of people's hearts being corrupted." Qin Haoming sighed, "The imperial court has set up officials, fake power, and it is the responsibility to correct the divisions, and it is illegal to raise assassinations."

However, it has become a party and a coercion, holding officials hostage, and rejecting righteous people. ”

There are problems in people's hearts and systems, how can one person reverse them?
