After kneeling three times and bowing nine times, Wu Fanhui shocked the emperor's youth and old age. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

According to history, when Zhu Youzhen ascended the throne by King Xin, he was only seventeen years old, and now he is only twenty-one years old.

At the age of twenty-one, he should be full of vitality, but the emperor Wu Fanhui saw, although the overall feeling is still young, whether it is the breath revealed or the look on his face, he gives people the feeling of being old, to put it mildly, there is a feeling of twilight.

Young and old age is the Confucian requirement for those who take on great responsibilities, even if Zhu Youzhen, who is the emperor, must follow this rule, because Zhu Youzhen wants to be the first emperor through the ages, thinking about revitalizing the Ming Dynasty, it is conceivable that since he ascended the throne for five years, from the age of seventeen to twenty-one, Zhu Youzhen does not know how much suffering he has suffered, otherwise his face will never reveal the vicissitudes of life, which cannot be pretended.

Therefore, Wu Fanhui couldn't help but feel a little pity for Zhu Youzhen, don't look at Zhu Youzhen as the Ninth Five-Year Honor, drunk and lying on the knees of beauty, waking up to kill the sword, with supreme power, but this emperor is really not good, there is a group of fierce civil and military ministers below, especially the party struggle in the court, so that he is restless, the arrogance of the Houjin Tartars, the ravages of the rogues, the continuous famine, the corruption of officials, the weakness of the army, the poverty of the people, so that this dynasty is already on the verge of collapse, let an ambitious, How can a young man with great ambition and talent control such a country, how can there be a good result.

Wu Fanhui also met with many cabinet ministers who were powerful in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet, He Ruzhong, the second assistant of the cabinet, Wen Tiren, Wu Zongda, Zheng Yiwei, Qian Xiangkun, and the cabinet ministers, among the seven cabinet ministers, Sun Chengzong was not in the capital, but was inspecting Liaodong.

Wu Fanhui has some regrets, he still has a deep impression of Sun Chengzong, this person is the most capable minister in the late Ming Dynasty, both civil and military, a late bloomer, but unfortunately born at the wrong time, always encountered ups and downs.

What impressed Wu Fanhui the most was Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren, Zhou Yanru was tall, estimated to be one meter eight tall, with a fair face and a black beard, looking very majestic, Wen Tiren looked like a kind old man, his hair and beard were a little white, and he always had a smile on his face, quite like a teacher in the countryside.

The expressions of these two people are in stark contrast.

In addition, Wu Fanhui left a deep impression on Wu Zongda, after all, he has the same surname, Wu Zongda is white and fat, and he looks like a person like Amitabha Buddha, who can be left and right, and it is no wonder that this person can be in the cabinet for nine years.

According to the development of history, the cabinet minister Qian Xiangkun will soon be due to illness, Sun Chengzong because of the defeat of Dalinghe City, bear all the responsibility for the defeat, November took the initiative to give office, resigned from all positions, He Rupet also in November.

After these three people became officials, they did not enter the officialdom again until their deaths.

And Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren, the time in the cabinet is very long, Zhou Yanru Chongzhen fifteen years, once again became the first assistant of the cabinet, but both of them were listed as traitors, assumed the historical responsibility for the fall of the Ming Dynasty, and were nailed to the pillar of shame in history.

On behalf of the emperor, the cabinet minister and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites read out a number of regulations on the palace examination.

After the rules are read, the temple examination begins.

The emperor did not give a lecture, and the test papers were sent down quickly.

Wu Fanhui concentrated his energy and began to read the test questions seriously.

"The system said: Those who rule the world together are also scholars.

Today's scholars are not good, and if they want to see the small quickly, they want the righteous people to learn to return to the Tao, what can be done.

Dongyu belongs to Yi, the land is narrow and the people are outnumbered, once the soldier is called Shun Bing Sanhan does not guard, why is it.

The chieftain himself belonged to me, committed rebellion, forced our frontier, the enemy could not be destroyed, the soldiers could not be withdrawn, and the salary could not be reduced.

If you want to destroy the enemy and restore the territory now, what is the best way to do it.

And the flow of Kou has been a long time, the amount of money and food is short, and the speaker is not considerate of the national budget, and every desire is reduced.

The people are the foundation of the state, and the court does not know about it, and it does not sympathize with it.

But if you want to be compassionate to the people and support the army, you may have two ways.

That is, the Tuntian salt law, the origin of sincerity and wealth, has been repeatedly discussed and reprimanded, and there is no actual effect, so what is the reason.

As for the grain to continue the life of the three armies, the horses are urgently needed for the battle array, and they are cut off and in arrears, so they lose their original amount, and how can they recover.

Although the East is rampant today, there is a chance for the Hetao to recover, and everything can be done outside the border.

But it is difficult for the east to watch, the government and the opposition are scarce, and the near surrender is coming, so what to do. The socket is connected, and what is the question to be solved.

The thieves gradually escaped from Yunguang, and the Haikou disturbed Zhejiang and Fujian, and the extermination was not fast, and the people were in trouble, and the floods and droughts were frequent, and the province was straightforward for many reasons, so how to recover and eliminate.

In addition, the Tang and Song dynasties used military ministers as the Zhongshu Order, the Privy Envoy, and the civil and military affairs did not seem to be very different.

My Taizu Emperor Gao once took the straight hall as the government, and the classic history as the capital, and now it is unbreakable.

Ertos has been paying attention to the affairs of the world for a long time, and he is unabashed in answering them one by one.

I'm going to see it for myself. ”

After reading the policy test question personally issued by the emperor, Wu Fanhui's head was big.

The emperor is a hodgepodge, and all the questions have been raised, including the imperial court, Anmin, Zonglu, soldiers' salaries, famines, and soldiers, etc., every thing threatens the survival of the Ming Dynasty, and it is no wonder that the emperor is only twenty-one years old, and he actually shows the vicissitudes of life.

However, the emperor is strange enough, you must know that the tributes who participated in the palace examination did not enter the court to do things at all, and they were not clear about the affairs of officialdom, and they did not have any actual experience in politics, so they could put forward any reasonable suggestions.

Pulling out seedlings to help grow, and rushing to the doctor in a hurry, this is probably the emperor's real mentality.

Think about these tributes, they must use the Four Books and Five Classics to solve these problems, what is the righteousness of the people before themselves, what is the rule of benevolence and virtue, what is the self-cultivation of the family to govern the country and level the world, etc., a lot of nonsense, there is no practical useful advice,

At this moment, Wu Fanhui thought of Liu Zongzhou, a great Confucian at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

After Liu Zongzhou was reactivated by the emperor, he put forward the view of prudence and independence, hoping that through introspection, the hearts of the people would be cleaned up, so that everyone would be good and rank in the realm of morality, so as to save the world from the scourge.

Liu Zongzhou's view of prudence and independence was specifically aimed at the emperor, requiring the emperor to first be cautious and independent, so as to influence the civil and military ministers below.

Wu Fanhui felt ridiculous, Liu Zongzhou's point of view is undoubtedly correct, and it is applicable everywhere, but unfortunately in the current situation, telling the emperor these governance methods is quite a bit of a dry carp, obviously a fish that is about to die of thirst, and can survive if given some water, but he is still ready to attract river water, and the fish has already become dried fish fillet at that time.

Of course, Wu Fanhui, who crossed over, knew that there were indeed solutions to these problems raised by the emperor, but it was a systematic project, and it was necessary to break many of the current shackles, and it was necessary to start from the system in order to completely solve the problems.

But this is impossible, not to mention whether the emperor has made up his mind, even if he has made up his mind, there are no pillars around him, and it is also the rhythm of looking for death, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will perish faster.

Comparatively speaking, Zhang Juzheng in the Wanli period is such a talent.

Taking a step back, if you want to solve these problems temporarily, it comes down to one word, money.

Only with money can things be done, only with money can the people be relieved, only with money can the people be able to conquer, only with money can the people be stabilized, if there is no money, there is no need to say anything, and nothing can be done well.

On the contrary, some people have come up with a way to gather money, that is, to increase agricultural taxes, what kind of salary, training salary, and liao salary, and so on, but unfortunately these increased taxes have not received much, but the poor people have rebelled.

It is undeniable that Zhang Juzheng and Wei Zhongxian and others have done a good thing and a big thing, that is, a large-scale collection of trade taxes, and appropriate reduction of agricultural taxes, which is the best way to solve the problem at present, but unfortunately this best way was completely denied by the Donglin Party, and was denied by them from the point of view of hiding wealth from the people, the emperor is short of money, right, it is good, increase agricultural taxes, this is no problem, the Ming Dynasty is agriculture-oriented, commerce and trade are the end, and the things that are sacrificed are not able to be done, as for whether the people can bear it, that's not something that the Donglin Party needs to worry about.

The annexation of land had reached a point where it was unsustainable, and it was strange that the scholars, clansmen, and gentry had amassed a large amount of land, relying on the land to accumulate wealth frantically, and they did not bear any taxes, all of which were borne by the common people who gradually lost their land and fell into extreme poverty, so it is strange that the people did not rebel.

The Donglin Party, the Zhejiang Party, the Qi Party, the Shaanxi Party, and so on, represent the scholar class.

What is even more odious is that the Donglin Party colluded with the merchants to speak for the merchants in the south and resolutely stop any policy of collecting taxes on commerce and trade, and the merchants in the south had already begun to merge with the scholar class.

For the sake of their own interests, regardless of the life or death of the people, regardless of the overall situation of the imperial court, regardless of the Ming Dynasty, not only the Donglin Party, but also almost all the civil and military ministers in the court.

This is the cancer of the Ming Dynasty.

If you want to change this situation, you need great courage and courage, and you must have the determination to scrape the bones to cure the poison and break the wrists of the strong man.

The Ming Dynasty is a typical elite politics, and if you start from the elite, you will encounter extremely strong resistance, or even desperate resistance.

Zhu Youzhen did not have the ability to make such a decision.

This is history, this is the harsh reality.

Wu Fanhui didn't start writing for a long time, and he fell into hesitation.

The heart is hot, and I obviously saw the cancer of the Ming Dynasty, but I couldn't write it.

He can't write, if he writes an article according to this line of thought, then he Wu Fanhui will immediately become the opposite of the lord of the court, even if he has the protection of the emperor, it will not help, he will set up a powerful opponent for himself, which is impossible to defeat for the time being, and the opponent's attack is absolutely crazy.

Only if you have strong strength can you really do it.
