The effect of the connotation is indeed very good, and the good ones are even a little beyond Xie Hong's expectations, a group of people waited from morning to afternoon, until nightfall, the sky was already hazy, and the nuns were about to come back, only then did they see Zhengde reluctantly coming out of the tower. 【】

"Second brother, why did you come out alone, why didn't that one come out?" Xie Hong was a little surprised.

Zhengde stayed on it for almost a whole day, and at first there was music and singing, but later, he couldn't hear any sound. If you can't hear it, it doesn't mean that you don't have it, the tower is very high, and Xie Hong's ears are not radar, if the voice is quieter, of course he can't hear it.

But the above situation can be imagined, lonely men and widows, Zhengde is hungry and thirsty, oh, no, it has been long-awaited, coupled with Xie Hong's careful preparation, it is too normal for something to happen.

Xie Hong is very confident, you know, that person can't take his eyes off the level when he sees the egg cake, compared to the good things he prepared, what is the egg cake?

"Huh? Big brother, what do you mean by that? Didn't you say earlier that you need to be patient when courting girls? Do you have to persevere for a long time, so that you can move the other party's heart naturally? Zhengde was also surprised.

"That's just to be on the safe side, isn't it going well today?" Xie Hong pointed to the top of the tower, blinked narrowly, and asked with a smile: "Second brother, what have you done on it?" ”

Xie Hong's words asked the hearts of a group of people, and the monkeys and others pricked up their ears, the emperor's gossip can't be said casually, but it is also very important to satisfy curiosity.

"It's just playing the piano and talking......" The process is very simple, but Zhengde has an evocative expression on his face, "Big brother, she likes the bean paste buns and milk steamed buns you taught me to make, ha, I also agreed with her to come back tomorrow." ”

Come back tomorrow? Xie Hong tugged at the corners of his mouth, the second brother is really playing a love game, but that's fine, as long as he doesn't go to Jiangnan, it's good that he doesn't go out to play now, if you want to play, there will be opportunities in the future.

I heard that there was no passionate scene, and the enthusiasm of the audience was reduced a lot, and Xie Hong looked thoughtful, so it was cold on the road, and it was not until he returned to the barracks that Zhengde avoided everyone, pulled Xie Hong and said, "Big brother, I have something to ask you." ”

"Oh?" Whisper? About what? It can't be a matter of timing, right? Actually, my brother is not particularly good at this. Xie Hong's heart suddenly tightened, and he cheered up the spirit of twelve.

"She told me about her life experience...... Zhengde's words made Xie Hong breathe a sigh of relief, saying that his life experience is a good thing, which represents a certain degree of recognition and trust, you must know that the main purpose of the other party's appearance here is to take refuge.

"I'm very strange, among the six arts of the gentleman, ritual music is called together, but why do people who specialize in music and music should be classified as musicians and be despised by others? According to the scriptures, isn't music a sacred thing? Zhengde's question has nothing to do with love, but questions the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty.

"There are also craftsmen, when I was in Xuanfu, eldest brother, you said that as long as you can organize craftsmen and continuously improve their skills, you can create a lot of interesting things, as well as a steady stream of wealth, and extremely powerful weapons. In the past few years, you have indeed done it, the capital has a lot of fun, and there is no longer a shortage of money to spend in the palace, such as Mo knives, strong crossbows, cannons, and sea ships, ......"

Zhengde raised his head and said word by word: "The craftsmen are still those craftsmen, but if you treat them in a different way, their creativity is very different, doesn't that mean that the Ming ancestral system is all some malpractices?" Those policies will only make musicians and craftsmen desperately want to get out of their professions, instead of focusing on studying and improving their skills, what is not bad governance? ”

He didn't need Xie Hong to answer this question, his real question was something else, "However, this maladministration was set up by Taizu, how could a person as wise as Taizu set up such a policy?" And Mr. Yang and Mr. Li are also people with high intelligence, why can't they see all kinds of drawbacks, but resolutely resist the new deal, for this reason, they even do not hesitate to ......"

Zhengde was a little dazed, a little angry, and a little sad. On the way out of the wooden tower, his interest was quite high, but at this time, his mood suddenly fell, and the cold moonlight shone on his body, making him look a little lonely.

The trait of valuing old feelings has been consistent throughout Ming Wuzong's life, even if he is sure to be betrayed, he will often show mercy to his subordinates, and it is precisely for this reason that Xie Hong cannot implement thorough iron-blooded methods in the court.

Don't look at Zhengde has been working against Yang Tinghe and others in the court, but that is just a superficial phenomenon, if Xie Hong really wants to attack Yang Tinghe, the resistance will first appear here in Zhengde.

Obeying words is not obedience, Zhengde also has his own ideas, and Xie Hong is also very careful to maintain the relationship between the two monarchs and ministers and brotherhood, even if it delays the progress of the change.

Of course, if you can't move a Yang Tinghe, it will not hurt the overall situation, the strength of Yang Tinghe and others comes from the gentry all over the world, and if you don't completely eliminate the power of the old gentry, it doesn't make much sense to just deal with those few people in the court.

After the Battle of Yingzhou, with the excuse of collaborating with the enemy and the deterrent power of the great victory, Xie Hong also felt that it was time for the final liquidation, the complete overthrow of the old order, and the establishment of a new order. However, he didn't have time to discuss this idea with Zhengde, and he was not sure whether the other party would approve it.

Although the new order will not be like the previous scholars to empty the emperor, but it also has the meaning of weakening the imperial power, the higher the wisdom of the people, the lower the role of the political axe, this is inevitable, others may not be able to see, but with the shrewdness of virtue, but it will definitely be able to see.

In this regard, what kind of reaction Zhengde will have, Xie Hong can't predict, no matter how strange it is, the other party is an emperor after all, and now he may not care, will he feel inappropriate in the future and regret it? Xie Hong didn't want that kind of infighting in the future.

In addition, it is also very troublesome to renew the old relationship of Zhengde, Li Dongyang has been going deep into simplicity in recent years, and he rarely expresses his opinions in the court, so he has the intention of retiring, and it doesn't hurt to let it go. But Yang Tinghe has always been very active, if he is not dealt with strictly, it will inevitably make those who follow the trend have a fluke mentality.

Therefore, although Jiang Bin had been sent to Datong, and he had also sent a fast horse to the capital to report the news at the same time as the war ended, Xie Hong was not completely sure what the outcome would be in the end. The human heart is the most difficult thing to predict, even if there is information from past lives as a reference.

Xie Hong didn't expect that Zhengde's love had just begun, but it had become an opportunity to change the law, since he raised such a question, it showed that he was seriously thinking about the necessary surname for changing the law, and the possible surname for completely overthrowing the ancestral system.

"How Taizu judged at the beginning, only he himself knows, of course I have no way to understand, but I have some ideas about this, the key is the system problem......" While wording in his heart, Xie Hong said slowly:

"When the founding of this dynasty, the Central Plains has gone through more than 100 years of poison in Liaojin, Meng, and Zhuhu, and it has a certain positive effect on encouraging people to read with all kinds of inferior qualities and only high reading, so as to serve the imperial court. However, although Confucianism had a progressive effect, with the expansion of the scholar class and the stability of the system of co-rule between the scholars and the Son of Heaven, they immediately became an obstacle to social progress. ”

"Hehe," he smiled sneeringly, and said: "Li Ge Lao, Yang Ge Lao are both big people who can leave their names in history, of course, their intelligence is beyond doubt, even if they can't see the shortcomings of the ancestral system before, after having Zhenbao Zhai, they can see it all the same, not to mention top people like them, even those ordinary families in Jiangnan can also see it clearly." ”

"Yes, otherwise, the big fleet that attacked Lushun wouldn't have so many new tricks." Zhengde nodded in agreement. It was a pity for him to miss that naval battle, so he also repeatedly studied the detailed information afterwards, and he was also amazed by the creativity of the Jiangnan people.

But why did they turn a blind eye? Because in the eyes of the scholars, the most important thing is to safeguard the interests of the system. Qi family, governing the country, leveling the world, from which we can see the gradual process, we can also see the status of these three contents in the hearts of scholars, the prosperity of the family, the prosperity of the scholar class is the most important thing in their hearts, after completing these two, they will consider the problem of leveling the world. ”

Xie Hong's words had a bit of a sophistic flavor, but Zhengde nodded again and again.

"It is easiest for a family to prosper, as long as you have power, money, and acres, all this is not a problem. But governing the country is much more complicated, political views have to fight each other, imperial power and scholar power have to fight, political disputes can only rely on cooperation, but is there a long-term consistent relationship in politics, and where is there an end to fighting? Naturally, the world can only be put on hold. ”

"Although craftsmen can bring wealth, they can be squeezed as slaves, and the short-term benefits are obviously higher, as for the rich country and the strong army, it belongs to the category of the world, before getting rid of the great cause of governing the country, who can take those into account? Even the research and development of firearms with better development prospects and cheaper is not willing to do so, so how can anyone reproduce such expensive things as Mo knives and divine arm bows? ”

Similar views, Xie Hong has communicated with Zhengde before, but today's dialogue is the most in-depth and comprehensive, and Zhengde quickly made a decision: "Big brother, I have made up my mind, starting next year, the new policy will be fully implemented, no matter who dares to obstruct in front, will be dealt with strictly." ”

"There is something I want to tell you in advance," Xie Hong thought for a while, and suddenly said solemnly: "At the beginning, the measures of the new deal were all in the name of the royal family, and the imperial power would be greatly strengthened, but the extreme of things would be opposed, and in the future, the imperial power would be gradually weakened, maybe you and I would not see that day, but one day, the imperial power would become a symbol of the surname, do you think ......?"

"Isn't that great?"

Zhengde smiled a little sneeringly: "When I ascended the throne, I treated them very well to Liu Daxue, because my father said that we should respect them." However, I respect them, but they treat me like a fool, Yanyin, Huangzhuang, they think I don't know what they want to do, in fact, I know, because my father taught me. ”

"Big brother, you are different, we are brothers, you have never hidden it from me in the past few years, even the incident of Sister Ling'er...... Actually, I like to be the emperor who doesn't have to worry about things, so that I can play wherever I want. Big brother, I'm looking forward to that day, you have to work hard, I'll leave it to you to change the law or something. ”

Patting Xie Hong on the shoulder, he left humming a little song, his steps were very brisk, and his mood was very comfortable, obviously, the knot in his heart had been untied.
