Chapter 1096: Overkill must be overdone

readx; Shaanxi Provincial Imperial History Shaanxi Sizong persuaded Zhu Youzhen with "three unreachable, five unaware", and Zhu Youzhen was so angry that his hands and feet were cold, but he was helpless. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½%

In fact, Shaanxi Sizong said this lot of things in a free way, and there was only one central idea, that is, Zhu Youzhen was stubborn and self-serving, deprived himself of the power that belonged to the official group, and forcibly pushed for reform. This is not to discuss with the emperor about a certain person or matter, but to completely negate his entire concept of governing the country, and the purpose is to ask Zhu Youzhen to hand over some of his power and restore the authority of the official group. If Zhu Youzhen retreats slightly, all the previous efforts will come to naught, and the Ming Empire will return to its old path.

However, Zhu Youzhen wanted to punish Shaanxi Sizong, but he lacked a suitable reason. Because Shaanxi Sizong is a speech official, the duty of the speech official is to participate in the impeachment and persuasion, according to the ancestral system, Zhu Youzhen really can't do anything to him, at most he will be reprimanded, or even dismissed. Zhu Youzhen also knows very well that Shaanxi Sizong is definitely not fighting alone, behind him is a huge group of officials, who have disposed of Shaanxi Sizong today, and there will be other people who will come out tomorrow to continue to hinder his various reform measures.

Just when he was thinking about how to refute the Shaanxi Sect and suppress this demonic wind, a person suddenly came out of the class and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the performance of the Shaanxi Sect is absurd. And there are insinuations between his words, which seem to be referential. Since it is pointed, above the court and before the monarch's father, why not say it clearly! Shaanxi Sizong, you can tell me, who are you referring to when you say that the villain took advantage of His Majesty's discernment and slandered the good, and used greed to catch shadows and sand and yin like a spring? ā€

When Zhu Youzhen looked at this person, he couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart. It turned out to be none other than Wen Tiren, who had just entered the cabinet.

This Wen Tiren is scheming and extremely eager for power, because he participated in the impeachment of Qian Qianyi and formed a bond with the Donglin Party. And now the Donglin Party has the right to speak in the court, half of the ministers in the cabinet are Donglin Department, and the Donglin Party accounts for the vast majority of the officials in the science and technology department, so although Wen Tiren has entered the cabinet, he is still alone and quite isolated.

And Wen Tiren is not like Sun Chengzong, Wang Zaijin, Yuan Keli, Xu Guangqi and others, although these people are not Donglin Party, but they perform their own duties, have strong business ability, and are highly respected, it is not so easy for Donglin Party members to suppress them.

Wen Tiren is different, in addition to being good at observing words and feelings, and understanding Zhu Youzhen's thoughts, he has no real ability to govern the country at all, so many officials look down on him, and only Zhou Yanru sympathizes with him.

It stands to reason that Wen Tiren belongs to a typical "villain", while most of the Donglin Party members can be regarded as "gentlemen". But now is not the time to "be a pro-gentleman and a distant villain", because Zhu Youzhen knows very well that the Donglin Party, a group of righteous men and gentlemen, all represent the interests of the big landlords, and when the country is in danger, they not only cannot face up to the crisis, but are short-sighted and desperate to defend the interests of the landlord class, resulting in the imperial court having no soldiers and no pay, and finally destroying the country. There are no eggs under the nest, and the Ming Dynasty is dead, these righteous men and gentlemen will either die or not, but what is the benefit to the country and the nation?

The lessons of history are here, and Zhu Youzhen will certainly not go back to the old path. So in some cases, he would rather use a villain like Wen Tiren to suppress the Donglin Party through Wen Tiren, and there is only one purpose: to let his decree be carried out smoothly.

Of course, once a person like Wen Tiren comes to power, he will definitely prop up his own henchmen and form a new group to defend vested interests, which will also bring harm to the country. However, the lesser of two evils, now Zhu Youzhen still wants to use Wen Tiren to fight the current demon wind directly against him.

Therefore, Zhu Youzhen also followed Wen Tiren's speech and asked: "Yes, Shaanxi Sizong, if you have something to say, why don't you know who it is in front of you?" ā€

Shaanxi Sizong was speechless for a while. In fact, he did refer to Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru. But now Wen Tiren is the first to attack, and if he talks about others again, he is suspected of biting back. Besides, Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru are also cabinet ministers, and they are both people with means, and Shaanxi Heizong doesn't want to tear his face in the court.

Wen Tiren saw that Shaanxi Sizong was stammering, so he sneered and said: "Your Majesty is humble and open, and Benle listens to the words. But what Shaanxi Sizong said was extremely pedantic, and he didn't know anything about the country's situation and human feelings. The eunuch party has stolen authority for many years, Baidu has been abolished, and if it is not overkill at this time, when can peace be expected? His Majesty's change of vote and compromise is precisely the most appropriate move, and our ministers are still respectful, who are you who openly accuse the court? The ministers are inappropriate and unfavorable, Your Majesty should be reprimanded, are you doing something wrong, and Your Majesty will be relieved of you? As for the so-called villain, it is even more presumptuous, and only the real villain has this mind! ā€

Wen Tiren's words were very powerful, and every sentence hit the loophole in the words of Shaanxi Sizong. Especially when it was said that Shaanxi Heizong didn't know the country's situation and human feelings, Zhu Youzhen also resonated, nodded and said: "What Wen Qing said is reasonable, overkill must be overdone, but it can't be overkill!" ā€

In fact, this sentence is also a famous saying of the old man, and Zhu Youzhen thinks so. Because all old forces and old habits have a strong inertia, like a bent bamboo pole, if you straighten it, as soon as you let go, it will still change back to the original bent degree. To make it straight, it has to be bent to the other side, destroying its memory of the original bend.

The same is true of the current situation. In the past, the emperor didn't care about anything, and almost all power was given to the official group and the eunuch group, as long as he didn't lose the throne. Now that Zhu Youzhen wants to save the Ming Dynasty, he must seize all the power in his own hands, which is overkill. In fact, Zhu Youzhen himself is not so tired that he is going to die, but how can he rest assured that he will hand over power to others!

Seeing that the emperor obviously supported Wen Tiren, although Shaanxi Sizong was not convinced, and other officials did not buy Wen Tiren's account, seeing that a debate broke out in the court again. Zhu Youzhen thought about it, this struggle is not so quick to see, the burning eyebrows look at the front first, or arrange a few things in advance.

Therefore, he said to Shaanxi Sizong: "You are a speech official, it is your duty to participate in the performance, and your starting point is good, and I also hope that I can govern the country better." But the difficulty of me, you can't know, is that it is indeed pedantic to play a partial generalization. Thinking that you are loyal, bluntly sarcastic, I don't blame you, step down. ā€

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Youzhen no longer gave the ministers a chance to speak, and said in an unquestionable tone: "At present, the Tartars are still entrenched in the Guannei, and there are priorities. Retreat! ā€
