"Elder Li Ge, you don't have to worry too much, then Xie Hong has the guidance of a master behind his back, or a genius of Tianzong, although his strategy is high, but before he was just a colleague in the DPRK and China did not pay attention to it, and acted rashly, which allowed him to gain the upper hand. Now that everyone has been alerted, presumably they will not be easily taken advantage of by him in the future. ”

Zhang Sheng saw that Li Dongyang's eyebrows were deep, and the expression on his face was even more solemn, and he also persuaded him, although his words were not without contempt, but they represented the thoughts of most people who remained in the court.

In the Ming Dynasty, scholars and doctors were suppressed more than once.

Although Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang had a very low level of education and was fooled by the scholars into setting many policies that were beneficial to the scholar class, from the bottom of his heart, he wanted to suppress the bureaucratic class, whether it was to crack down on corruption by peeling off the skin and adding grass, or to reduce the income of officials, all of which reflected his courage and determination.

And Emperor Chengzu of the Yongle Dynasty was even more educated, experienced, and a fierce man with both means and courage, and quickly packed up the scholars and doctors after sitting on the dragon chair.

The Ming Dynasty Qingliu scolded the emperor very famously, but how many dared to scold Zhu Di? After jumping out, there is only one end, and the court staff is killed! The Wenchen of the Yongle Dynasty is not famous, it is because of this that the emperor is too strong, who scolds and who dies, who dares to seek death?

Zhu Di was going to move the capital, and the court was even more like an explosion.

Jiangnan people are outstanding, and Jinling Fengyue makes everyone linger, who can be willing to leave such a good place and go to the bitter cold place in the north? What's more, the emperor also said that he wanted the Son of Heaven to guard the country, oh my God! The son of a daughter can't sit down, everyone is worth a lot of money, how can they do such a dangerous thing?

But although none of the ministers agreed to this move, Zhu Di still forcibly moved the capital, and the ministers could only say goodbye to the boundless Nanjing.

Not to mention the many personal expeditions that followed, and the treasure ship that was widely criticized by Wenchen went to the West. Every time it was carried out, the opposition was full of the government and the opposition, but the emperor did not listen, and the ministers could only move their mouths.

Compared to these two, in fact, Zhengde's actions are nothing, at least he didn't move the capital to Xuanfu, right?

Zhengde's strength is nothing, even if he completely controls the armed forces of the capital, at best, it is only tens of thousands of horses, compared to the important towns of the nine sides and the guards in various places, this point of strength is not enough at all, and the power of the two founders is completely incompatible.

However, even the two cattle people who founded the country actually didn't have the last laugh, the scholars and doctors were full of tenacity, and they had different strategies to deal with different emperors.

For Zhu Yuanzhang, they are mainly fooling, because the other party's cultural level is really not enough, even if they admit a little death, everyone can continue to pinch their noses and fool him.

Zhu Di is more difficult to deal with, but he has a weakness, he likes to drive in person too much, so everyone does what he likes, opposes it on the surface, but secretly helps him make all the preparations properly. When the emperor bravely goes to the expedition, the ministers can calmly arrange in the capital and fool the prince.

One trick is eaten all over the world, this trick is easy to use, and it can be used once you run out. Emperor Yingzong was not close to the foreign courts, favored the eunuchs, and everyone fooled him to Tumu Fort, and then swept away the backbone of the support for the emperor, and then it was not the world of scholars?

To deal with the powerful emperor, in fact, the scholars and doctors have a way, the emperor is alone, as long as he weakens the close ministers around him, then he can completely control the emperor.

Hongzhi is a very typical weak emperor, and it is precisely because of Hongzhi that the courtiers did not adapt to the style of Zhengde for a while. Since Zhengde's accession to the throne, the ministers have used the same routine used to deal with Hongzhi back then, thinking that since they can concoct an obedient holy monarch, according to the same method, of course, they can also concoct a second one.

It's a pity, facts have proved that if you don't keep pace with the times, you can only be eliminated by the times. In the history of their previous lives, they were caught off guard by Zhengde and suppressed for many years; In this life, Xie Hong disrupted the situation, although they were wary in advance and even prepared, but they were still defeated.

In the final analysis, it was the lack of anticipation of the enemy, so the strategy adopted was wrong, and in the end it led to a fiasco.

But now it's different, everyone has learned a deep enough lesson, of course, they won't continue to follow the old routine, as long as they change their course and use the strategy of dealing with Chengzu and Taizu to deal with Zhengde and Xie Hong, there will be no accidents.

What Zhang Sheng said, Li Dongyang had also used to persuade Liu Jian, but now his thoughts have changed, and he can't be as optimistic as Zhang Sheng.

Those tactics or tricks may bring a lot of trouble to the opponent, but as long as the opponent cannot be completely solved, then it is foreseeable that in the future, the scholar class, which is dominated by Confucian disciples, is likely to be completely overthrown, and this period may be decades, or more than ten years, or even shorter.

What made him miserable was that although he would soon be promoted to the first assistant, his prestige was not as good as before, because of the hostility of the Jiangnan scholars led by Xie Qian, and also because of his obscurity and self-preservation, which made many Qingliu disdainful.

Therefore, no one listened to his words, and he refused to believe them when he heard them, just like Zhang Sheng in front of him. Most of the scholars were still immersed in the glory of the past and the pride they had been proud for a long time, and even if they suffered a big loss, they would not take that academy too seriously.

In the past, he would be charged with the academy, mainly because the things taught by the academy offended the face of the scholars, and the strange silver skills were reprimanded by the saints as small ways, how could they be put out in a grand manner and spread to the world?

But if this academy can teach the virtuous ministers who worship the prime minister, then no one believes it, how much knowledge is the way to determine the country and the country, which can people who don't read the books of sages be able to get a glimpse of it?

Zhang Sheng persuaded him for a while, but seeing that Li Dongyang was still frowning, he also felt bored, so he simply stopped talking. Zhang Sheng is very unimpressed with Li Dongyang's frequent worries, but the other party's status is getting higher and higher, and it is not easy for him to show this emotion.

"Elder Li Ge, Zhang Butang, Yang Ting and Lord Yang of Zhan Shifu ask to see you." While sitting silently, someone from the Li Mansion came up to report.

"Oh? Invite Lord Yang in. Li Dongyang's brows moved, a little surprised.

Yang Tinghe's background is very similar to Li Dongyang, both of them are after the family, and they both had the name of a prodigy when they were young, and after entering the court, they are also known for their good strategy, and even the choice of forcing the palace is the same, both of them are closed doors, and they want to stay out of the matter.

Although there was no interaction in the past, the friendship is a confidant, Li Dongyang even knew that Yang Tinghe had planned the petition incident of the Hanlin Academy and the Guozijian before, and felt that the other party's actions were quite consistent with his usual style, and he still felt a little confidant in his heart.

At a time when he had no way to tell his heart, Li Dongyang was a little happy when he heard that Yang Tinghe had suddenly visited, and when Yang Tinghe entered the door, he even got up and took a few steps forward.

Zhang Sheng originally didn't plan to greet him, the identities of the two sides are here, although Yang Tinghe used to be an emperor and his grade is not low, but after all, he is just a Zhan Shi with no authority.

Although after the new emperor ascends the throne, Yang Zhan is likely to have a leap forward one day, but now that the emperor has completely torn his face with the foreign dynasty, will he still care about these old feelings? If you want to talk about the emperor, Liu Jian and Xie Qian are also emperors, not yet...... But since Li Dongyang, the elder of the pavilion, got up, he had no choice but to stand up, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry with Yang Tinghe in his heart.

"Elder Li Ge, Zhang Butang, how dare you greet the two adults, Tinghe is really ashamed." Although Yang Tinghe is not a small name, he did not show any unruly, and when he saw the two of them greeting each other, he hurriedly thanked him.

"It's okay, it's okay." Li Dongyang valued him, so naturally he would not claim to be his identity, and after holding Yang Tinghe's hand and greeting him, he asked, "Why does Jiefu have time to come to the old man?" ”

"Elder Li Ge, haven't you received the news yet?" Yang Tinghe asked in amazement.

"Jiefu, has something happened in the outside world?" Zhang Sheng's heart tightened, now is an extraordinary time, no small thing can be ignored, Xie Hong's tricks are often started from a small place, such as billiards, and then baseball...... "Hou Defang sent storytellers to all the big teahouses in Beijing, and then began to preach the commentary!" Yang Tinghe didn't care about drinking tea, and as soon as the next person serving tea went out, he said anxiously.

"Commentary? Haven't they been talking all the time? "Actually, if it weren't for Hou De Fang made by Xie Hong, and then eliminate Xie Hong's private goods, well, such as the academy, the league or something, Zhang Sheng likes that commentary, although the language was a little crude at the beginning, but the content of the story is quite interesting, and the old man often listens to it when he is bored and has fun.

He likes to listen to everything in the Ministry of Rites, let alone ordinary people, now that Xie Hong has controlled the capital, it is logical to expand, what is there to make a fuss about?

"Zhang Butang doesn't know, this time they are not only talking about those trivial matters, but the political affairs of the court!" Yang Tinghe said in a deep voice: "Including the recital between the emperor and Xie Hong in Jiaziyuan, as well as the court meeting before the day, and even the chaos of the so-called Thunder and Fire Night, they all took it out to talk about it. ”

"Huh!?" Li and Zhang were both shocked.

It is not uncommon for things in the court and the palace to spread to the people, some of them are deliberately let out by scholars, and some are leaked unintentionally. There are many scholars in the capital, and it is normal for the news to spread.

But these news are generally unconfirmed, and no one dares to spread major news, such as the chaos on the night of thunder and fire, the details of which are not very clear to ordinary people, even many low-level officials; For example, at the court meeting on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhengde counted so many crimes against the courtiers, who would dare to spread this kind of news casually?

But now that the news is about Hou Defang, then the matter is very clear, Xie Hong's annihilation has made another bad move, what is his purpose this time? Li and Zhang both felt frightened, and their eyelids were jumping.
