I don't know when the Ming Dynasty had a group like the so-called Qingliu. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info This is a political group unique to the Ming Dynasty, and there have been Qing officials in all dynasties, but there has never been such a thing as a clear stream.

The so-called clear stream, is relative to the turbidity of the current, these people are not corrupt on weekdays, or they are less greedy, so as to establish a noble character buff, no one does not spray on weekdays, most of them are officials, and the emperor who sprays is proud of beating his own board in anger, because in this way they can get Shilin's admiration, and even go down in history, I really don't know if it is a head disease.

And Li Mo was the leader of the Qingliu Dynasty in the Jiajing Dynasty at this time, and outside of the Yan Party, he basically looked forward to this person.

The biggest difference between Li Mo and Yan Song lies in his clear characters.

Don't mention the ability first, at least two sleeves are clean, Li Mo has done it. As a court official of the Ministry of Officials, there are countless people who give him gifts every day, and he has never received them magically.

Don't think it's an easy task, silver turns into water, elephants can soak soft, bribery methods are ever-changing, can't be prevented, directly send silver to the door that is a manifestation of the brain is not fully developed, haven't you heard of the word bribe?

There are many means of bribery, many of which are simply impossible to prevent, the simplest is to send some worthless antique calligraphy and paintings, the right to be interpersonal contacts, and then send someone to buy from him at a high price, of course, this means is still primary after all, advanced, you can touch porcelain, that is, deliberately damage what people have at home, the whole trust to identify a high price, or let his housekeeper inadvertently often buy some simple things, high prices for some of his calligraphy and paintings.

These are still ordinary methods, not clever. What is Gao Ming? One is women. In ancient times, there were many ways to use women, the so-called hero was sad to pass the beauty pass, even if you are old, or have a firm mind, but you always have sons and nephews, right? There's always a protégé, right? There are always relatives and friends, right? As long as you are willing to work hard and find a way, you can always send women out.

The second is human affection. To the extreme, my son beat your grandson and sent you some antiques to make amends, and you said that you can't accept it, if you don't accept it, you just won't give me face. Counterfeit your calligraphy and paintings and sell them for money, but the bitter master can't find them, but the culprit has been caught. There are so many of them that you can't refuse even if you want to.

But Li Mo did it, and all the gifts he received or made a bargain for some reason were thrown outside the gate, and tens of thousands of taels of silver were thrown out of the gate of his house every year.

Xiao Tian admires this kind of character very much, no matter what you say, a clean official is always better than a corrupt official, and a person with a good character is more or less willing to do something practical.

Sure enough, Li Mo was much more direct than Yan Song, and after a few simple greetings, Li Mo didn't go around, and went straight to the point: "Huaizhen, if you want to say that this year, the life of our court is much better than last year, and you are indispensable to this." You are really in the limelight this year, almost all of this year's major events are related to you, and the only one who can barely steal the limelight from you is probably Yang Jisheng."

Of course, Xiaotian knew that praising him in the front was all foreshadowing, and deliberately mentioning Yang Jisheng in the back was the key. After a long time of muttering, he only said: "He is an admirable tough guy".

Li Mo said: "Yes, admirable and admirable, he has made preparations for death, but even if he is as miserable, he still can't move Yan Song, a traitor, it's a pity, Yan Shifan also openly shouted, saying 'Ren Er burned the original fire, free East China Sea, it is really hateful.'"

Xiao Tian thought to himself: "Aren't you cheap and good, if it weren't for Yang Jisheng's trouble, do you think Yan Song would still be able to let you jump for so long?" ”

Xiao Tiandao: "Yang Jisheng's excerpts, everyone in the world knows, its impassioned, righteous and awe-inspiring, it is really moving." But it's still a bit exaggerated, if you really want to say to him, wouldn't it mean that our Majesty has been manipulated by Yan Ge Lao? If Your Majesty really wants to believe his letter, he must first admit that he is a faint king."

Li Mo said: "The emperor is naturally sage, but what the emperor respects is the way of Huang Lao, and he wants to emulate the second emperor of Wenjing, in this world, it is said that Yan Song covers the sky with one hand, and it is not necessarily wrong, Wenjing Second Dynasty, the treasury is getting richer and richer at that time, but when it comes to my dynasty, it is clear that there are no big expenses, but it is getting poorer and poorer, isn't this Yan Song's fault?" ”

Xiao Tian was silent and did not speak, this topic has already been related to Jiajing's method of governing the country, so it is inconvenient for Xiao Tian to speak.

The rule of Wenjing, in most people's impressions, is that the two emperors are diligent and thrifty, have no major projects, and save money to fight for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which is of course true, but the more important thing is not to save money, but to save population. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the population withered, and it was only after the two dynasties that it regained its vitality, which laid the foundation of the Xionghan.

But Jiajing is different. Jiajing's problem is actually overpopulation. With the social productive forces at that time, it was somewhat difficult to feed the 60 million people of the Ming Dynasty, and more importantly, the number of clans had increased more than 100 times compared with the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, each of which had to spend a lot of money and grain to support, and each of them annexed a large amount of land, and did not pay taxes, and the population of farmers was increasing, and the land was getting less and less, which was the root cause of the crisis in the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, the most important thing to do is reform, which is indeed not suitable for the rule of Huang Lao in Jiajing.

Of course, Jiajing may not understand this truth, he should be lazy. He seems to prefer to leave this mess to his son to deal with rather than thankless.

Therefore, it is difficult to say that all this is Yan Song's fault, as long as Jiajing is still there, whoever changes to that position may not be able to go anywhere. Of course, Xiao Tian thought about it in his heart and wouldn't say it.

Li Mo became more and more excited the more he scolded, one traitor after another, and in the end, his emotions were high, and he directly scolded Yan Song for being an old immortal.

In all fairness, although Xiaotian does not agree with many of Li Mo's statements, he actually respects Li Mo in his heart. Qingliu has many problems, the most typical is rhetoric, all of them are like angry youths, they are all talents, and they are not necessarily better than Yan Dang when they do things, the words of the saints are used to read, but they are useless to do things.

But at least, officials with good character are basically good, the so-called turbidity is flattering, Qingliu invites fame, and inviting fame must at least do something real for the people, and flattery, just put all your energy on patting on the back.

However, Xiaotian is not a saint, he does not have such a lofty moral purity, and he is not keen on being strict, the most important thing is that Xiaotian is from later generations, he is familiar with historical development, and he knows very well that it is not the time to fall strict now. At this time, all he could do was not to help Yan Song harm him, and wanted him to show that he would fight with Yan Song, but he didn't even think about it.

Xiao Tian simply laid out the carriage and horses with Li Mo, the master is so young, and there is no one to cover him, why bother to go to your troubled waters?

If this is Yan Song, it will definitely pass with a smile, but Li Mo is different, in Qingliu's eyes, the world is black and white, Xiaotian is not on his side, in Li Mo's eyes, this is a problem with discipline, he is not a good person, and he is the object to be defeated.

With a cold snort, Li Mo spoke: "I think you and the old thief have already negotiated the conditions, did Yan Song promise you something?" ”

Xiaotian said helplessly: "I discussed some state affairs, but it has nothing to do with party disputes." I can only say that in this matter of Zhao Wenhua, if His Majesty asks, I will tell the truth, and I will not target him or shield him."

Xiao Tian felt that there was nothing wrong with him, but Li Mo blew up, and opened his mouth to reprimand angrily: "Le Huaizhen! In vain, I thought you were a solid pillar of talent, but I didn't expect you to be willing to join the same stream with Yan Song's old thief, where is your enthusiasm to sacrifice your life to serve the country. ”

Clear stream nirvana, buckle hat appeared. Why am I so in the same league as Yan Song? Do you have to be strict when you are honest? What does it have to do with sacrificing one's life to serve the country and the special party struggle, besides, the master is not a pen at all, and the master was robbed by Li Jin.

After all, Xiaotian is the leader of tens of thousands of people, and he is also a temperamental, so he replied without being salty: "Lord Li." Ben Hou really doesn't have time to spend his energy on these things, for me, it is enough to be able to live up to the king and the people. This is also what my father-in-law taught me at the beginning, after all, I am a minister, you must not let me deceive Your Majesty.

Li Mo was helpless, he originally thought that Xiaotian was a person of high moral character, but now it seems that he is also a villain who is single-minded, and said: "Count me as the wrong person, you go, just as if you haven't come, I hope you remember what you said, no matter what, you must not help each other, and you can't let the traitorous party continue to run rampant."

Xiao Tian nodded slightly, and left without speaking, thinking in his heart, I am also willing to be strict, but unfortunately you Li Mo is not destined to be his opponent, and I can only wait for that opportunity. (To be continued.) )
