Chapter 475: The Battle of the Fortified Fortress (2)

(Thank you John01b and Immortal Xingchen for the tip, thank you.) )

In his spare time, Su Tiancheng was able to return home and reunite with his family.

The Su family's mansion has long been a place where officials in the capital have paid attention, Su Tiancheng has made such a great contribution, it is a matter of time before he is promoted, and there are naturally a lot of officials who come to make friends, fortunately, Su Tiancheng does not belong to any party, his mentors Xu Eryi, Fu Youliang and Weng Tongzhang and others, although they belong to different groups, but Su Tiancheng has never been able to make any mark, this is also because Su Tiancheng is too outstanding, no one dares to say that he completely controls Su Tiancheng.

Su Tiancheng stayed at home and waited for his child to come.

Su Mingjie and Su Mingyue are still young, Zhu Xianxin and Chunping are a little doting, after Su Tiancheng went home, the requirements for his son and daughter are still strict, and he has talked to Zhu Xianxin and Chunping more than once about this matter, that is, they must be strict, three years old to see the young, seven years old to see the old, children must be strictly educated.

Ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.

The eunuch finally came to the mansion, and this time, he told Su Tiancheng to go directly to the official post.

Su Tiancheng knew that Sun Chengzong, Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou had arrived in the capital, and his task was to persuade the three of them to know the Tao and let the children of the royal family come out to do things, and these three people were not necessarily in favor.

When he came to the inn, the eunuch did not go in, but went to the door and returned to the palace.

Entering the room, Su Tiancheng saw that Sun Chengzong, Liu Zongzhou, and Huang Dao were talking loudly, with a smile on their faces, and the three of them had worked together to run the Zhongxing Society, and then. Sun Chengzong was in charge of exterminating the Liukou, Liu Zongzhou followed him to Henan Mansion and founded the Zhongxing Society, and Huang Daozhou stayed in Jiangning County to continue to consolidate the Zhongxing Society. The three have not been reunited for more than a year.

"Juniors, meet your lords."

Seeing Su Tiancheng come in, the three of them stopped talking, but they didn't stand up to greet them, as if they lacked the previous intimacy.

Su Tiancheng noticed that there was a letter on the table, this was the excerpt he played, it seemed that Sun Chengzong, Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou had already read this excerpt, and their attitude was definitely against it. Otherwise, this would not be the case.

Su Tiancheng sighed secretly, it is said that Sun Chengzong and others founded the Zhongxing Society, and their ideological understanding is already a little different, but after seeing this twist and turn, it is still an opposing opinion, which shows that the implementation of this matter. How difficult it is.

"Kun Yuan, you're here. The old man, Lord Liu, and Lord Huang have just arrived in the capital, and the father-in-law in the palace has sent this recital, and the old man is discussing with the two adults. The purpose of your coming here, since you have come, is to open up and say, the key is to say what you think. For what is the suggestion of such a suggestion. ”

Sun Chengzong had just finished speaking, and Liu Zongzhou also spoke.

"Kun Yuan, you should know that the vassal king is forbidden to participate in politics, this is the rule set by the first emperor, the rule that cannot be broken, the history of my Ming Dynasty for more than 300 years, the rebellion of the vassal king, vividly, it is precisely for these reasons that the court has the rule that the vassal king cannot participate in politics, you should know the Dao, I don't know what the Dao put forward such a suggestion."

Huang Daozhou nodded slightly, did not speak, and it seemed that the opinions were also unanimous.

Su Tiancheng didn't speak immediately, he knew that Sun Chengzong, Liu Zongzhou and the Zodiac must have carefully watched the twists and turns, and had some ideas, he needed to clear up, what kind of views did Sun Chengzong and the others have.

Sure enough, Liu Zongzhou spoke again.

"Kun Yuan, this twist and turn of yours, we have read it carefully, it is still very reasonable, not useless, so we want to hear your thoughts, your knowledge is outstanding, you have an extraordinary understanding, you will not easily decide a thing, the reason why you put forward such a twist and turn, must have been considered for a long time, it has been a few years since the establishment of the Zhongxing Society, our understanding, and the previous is not the same, as long as what you say is reasonable, we can still accept it."

With a smile on his face, Su Tiancheng figured out the attitude of Sun Chengzong and the others, and he felt that there was hope in things.

"It took a long time for the younger generation to write this letter, and it can be said that the younger generation thought of this matter before deciding to establish the Zhongxing Society."

Sun Chengzong and the others were very surprised, they felt more and more that Su Tiancheng's idea was far-reaching, they looked at the twists and turns, what Su Tiancheng said was indeed reasonable, and the examples were sufficient, and they were by no means unbelievable.

"Your lords are worried about the problem of the feudal king's rebellion, this is the actual situation, but this is not a big deal, as long as the system is in place, the customer service can be very good, today is in the inn, and the younger generation will say it directly."

"Throughout my Ming Dynasty's several rebellions, it is thought-provoking, and the younger generation has summed up, for what will cause these rebellions, for what will cause turmoil in the court, in the final analysis, all kinds of reasons exist, but because of these things, there are a lot of taboos, and the minister of civil and military affairs does not dare to discuss it in private, so that no one summarizes, and always puts the board on the body of the rebellious vassal king, so he takes the most stupid method to prohibit the vassal king from participating in politics."

"The summary of this aspect, the younger generation has already said it in the fold, and you have also seen it, the younger generation does not want to repeat it, but I just want to emphasize that not all vassal kings think about rebellion, among them, there are many talents, and they still want to contribute to the court and the country."

"The most important reason why the younger generation suggested that the vassal king come out to do things is to change the current pattern of the imperial court."

"In front of the three adults, the juniors will not have much to hide, and the words they say may be very intense, and the thoughts of the juniors are also the starting point for the adults to understand the juniors."

"Since the Wanli period, the situation of my Ming Dynasty has deteriorated day by day, and it has not returned to its former glory, and there are many reasons for this, but party struggle is an inevitable problem, and it is the most important problem. The party struggle that the younger generations think is not only as simple as fighting for power and profit, but also contains this deeper meaning, that is, limiting imperial power. ”

"Imperial power and vassal power are always opposites, these are two aspects that are impossible to reconcile, the three adults have been in the Zhongxing Society for so many years, they should understand the truth, according to the summary of the younger generations, the imperial power is stable, the subordinate power is assisted, the country is in a rising state, the country is rich and the people are strong, the imperial power is weakened, and the vassal power is strong, the country is chaotic, the people are poor, and they are invaded by outsiders."

"Don't talk about this dynasty, let's talk about the remarkable Tang Dynasty, the rule of Zhenguan, let's say that the period of high consolidation of imperial power, in the last years of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial power was lost, resulting in the demise of the dynasty."

"The prosperity of the dynasty can not be simply summarized in one or two aspects, historians have made a lot of summaries, for example, Liu Daren put forward the cautious independence, is a solution, by improving the overall quality of the ruler, to do a good job of acting government affairs, the younger generation is based on this idea, the first proposed, the vassal king and the prince of the vassal brother to participate in politics, change the current situation."

"The younger generation suggested the establishment of the Zhongxing Society, there is a layer of purpose, that is, to weaken the role of the Fushe and Donglin Academy, this is because the younger generation feels that the Fushe and Donglin Academy, the initial purpose of the establishment may be good, but later, it has become the source of party contention, there is no specific political proposition, blindly restricting the imperial power, and even proud of arguing with the emperor."

"The younger generation especially feels that what I can't understand is that in the later development, the emperor's food, clothing, housing and transportation are monitored by the ministers all the time, if the emperor eats better, or accepts concubines, there are always ministers who jump out to oppose it, asking the emperor to be pure and have few desires, and to work on the affairs of the family and the country.

"Through their own observations, the younger generation thinks that the power of the ministers has reached the level of the end of the big one, because of this reason, the party struggle in the court is becoming more and more powerful, the direction of the party contention, has long turned to the control of talents, every imperial examination, the recruited talents, when they have not yet entered the imperial court, they have become the talents of a certain group, with the strong protection of the group, the interests of the gentry and wealthy families and court officials have been guaranteed to the greatest extent, and all of them are rich."

"In such a situation, what kind of situation has arisen, the country is poor, the people are living in dire straits, since the first year of Chongzhen, so many years have passed, and the facts have completely proved this."

"If you adults can't understand it, then the younger generation's approach, the situation in Jiangning County and Henan Mansion, you adults will always look at it."

"The younger generation mobilizes the interests of the gentry and wealthy families and asks them to contribute, and the younger generation changes the structure of taxation and rests with the people, all of which are restricting the power of the bureaucracy."

"The support that the younger generation has received is extraordinary, in Jiangning County and Henan Mansion, there is an extraordinary support, plus these two places are not big, so the younger generation has not encountered many difficulties, but if you want to push it away in my Ming Dynasty, I am afraid it will be a great difficulty."

"But if these things are not done, it will be difficult for my Ming Dynasty to revitalize, there are Tartars watching outside, and there are rogues making chaos inside, in such a crisis situation, if I don't want to change the Ming Dynasty, what the consequences will be, it is needless to say."

"The younger generation thinks a lot, but to do things must be done step by step, the first is to let the vassal king participate in politics, enter the court as an official, let them make their own contributions to the development of the Ming Dynasty, of course, they enter the court, the party will form a huge impact, in this regard, the younger generation does not want to empty talk, let the facts speak."

The room was very quiet, Sun Chengzong, Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou were all carefully thinking about the words that Su Tiancheng said, Liu Zongzhou picked up the letter, looked at it carefully again, combined with what Su Tiancheng said, and looked at this twist and turn again, he saw the deep meaning contained in it.
