Chapter 730: Price

When he returned home, Tang Yi was not in a hurry to kneel, he had to do one thing, that is, to explain to the teacher why he did this......

Jiajing became more and more obsessed with cultivation, and it had reached the point where nine cows could not pull it back, and he was determined to run the road of immortality to death. At this time, replacing Xu Jie, it is just to continue to be the prime minister of the Taoist Tong and contribute to the emperor's cultivation. At present, the Ming Dynasty is full of holes, countless shortcomings, all kinds of diseases, and terminally ill, and it has reached the point where it cannot be reformed.

When Xu Jie replaced Yan Song, his momentum was so strong, why did it plummet in less than two years. Tang Yi set off a public opinion war, although it was the reason, but it was not the root.

The root also lies in the fact that Xu Jie is just a pastemaker, sewing and mending, engaging in three and advocating, doing nothing, and not being able to come up with a strategy to cure the evils of the times, and the people of the world have not seen the change, how much hope they had for Xu Jie, how much disappointment they had at the beginning. Through a series of cases, it's just vented.

After seeing through the essence, let me ask Tang Shunzhi to replace Xu Jie, or Tang Yi to take the position, can he do better than Xu Jie?

The first thing to change is Jiajing, the emperor stopped cultivating the Xuan, stopped wasting state funds, and saved precious silver, so that there was hope for reform.

But before he got to the throne, Jiajing forced the master and apprentice to cultivate the view of heaven, after taking the position, Tang Yi already had a reputation for being good at financial management, and he would be regarded by Jiajing as a treasury for taking and demanding, even if he had great means, he could not fill the bottomless pit of Jiajing.

Of course, you can also take measures against it, don't give Jiajing silver, he will push back whatever he wants, but in that case, the monarch and the minister are opposed, and the conflict is continuous, which will only give others an opportunity to take advantage of, how are the master and apprentice compared to Yang Ting and father and son? Can you beat Jiajing?

After calculation, the best result is that Xiao Gui Cao followed, followed Xu Jie, generally catered to Jiajing, secretly stumbled a little, and engaged in some soft confrontation.

What will be the result, isn't Xu Jie's lesson painful? Jiajing didn't buy it, and the people below were even more disappointed, and the rats in the entire bellows were angry at both ends.

At present, the two pillars that maintain the Tang Party, one is Tang Shunzhi's character and knowledge, and the other is Tang Yi's wisdom and martial arts.

Under the environment of the Ming Dynasty, morality is bankrupt, the word prestige is missing, and it is impossible to respond to all calls, what reforms are used, what are the ambitions in the chest, and they rely on civil officials who add up to less than 20,000 people? What can they do?

Tang Yi had planned to retire before, and after thinking about it for a while, he became more and more determined in his thoughts.

Aren't civil officials often said to think twice, think about danger, think about retreat, think about change!

Rushing forward and climbing up, you are sitting in the crater, and only by retreating can you hold on to Baotai, maintain your prestige, and wait for the opportunity.

Of course, once a son of heaven and a courtier, if you retire for a long time, and the people on the stage forget about you, it will be like lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot.

Fortunately, Tang Yi is familiar with the historical context, coupled with a strong intelligence system, he knows very well that Jiajing's body is not far from running out of oil, at most three or five years, especially Jiajing eats more and more pills every day, and strange things are stuffed into his stomach, those things not only can't live forever, but also damage his health.

According to Li Shizhen's estimate, Jiajing's lifespan of two or three years at most, and it is a miracle that he can live past the age of 60.

In other words, Tang Yi retreated, and the waiting time would not be too long.

In addition, a month ago, news just came that King Jing was seriously ill and it seemed that he would not survive his father, and King Yu was Jiajing's only son, that is, the only heir to the throne.

Tang Yi asked himself, the relationship with King Yu is still very good.

Moreover, the masters of Yuwang Qiandi, in addition to Zhang Juzheng, are also slightly extraordinary, with great ambitions, big means, and great courage, and they are rare talents.

However, Gao Gong is only strong himself, and by Gao Gong's side, he has not formed a force, and everything he has comes from King Yu.

This is also a matter of no choice, after all, the future emperor, jumping up and down, forming gangs everywhere, that is a taboo thing, Gao Gong will not make trouble for himself.

Now the situation is becoming more and more obvious, and the number of people around Gao Gong has begun to increase, but if you want to form a fist, it is not something that can be done in three days or two days.

That is to say, after King Yu ascended the throne, he wanted to suppress the old ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, wanted to establish the authority of the new monarch, sweep away the dust, and reform the Ming Dynasty, in addition to relying on the high arch, the only thing he could count on was Tang Yi.

At that time, with the important ministers of the two dynasties and the edge of the emperor of the Son of Heaven, a king returned. It's definitely much better than staying in the capital and squandering your prestige.

In addition, Tang Yi did not say another reason, that is, the changes in the southeast were far beyond his imagination, and Tang Yi originally estimated that it would take at least ten or even twenty years for industrial and commercial financial forces to challenge the existing order.

In fact, in less than seven years, new ideas and new situations emerged in the southeast, and deviant masters of psychology, such as Li Zhen and Wang Xiang, preached their own ideas everywhere. Everywhere they went, the responders were like clouds, the city's farmers, businessmen, peddlers and pawns, often able to gather tens of thousands of people, the speakers were elated, the listeners were drunk, all immersed in boundless joy, but few people saw the risks, and were confused by the illusion of great learning.

Tang Yi is very calm, his mind liberates human nature and breaks the shackles of the Three Principles and Five Constants, which is no less than nectar falling from heaven for people who are bound by science. But there are two sides to everything, excessive freedom, lack of restraint and awe, and the mind will slide to the other extreme at any time. It has become the same as science, unable to solve practical problems, and has become useless empty talk.

Moreover, the study of the mind pays attention to the value standard of the original heart, and will challenge the divine authority of the monarch that is attached to the concepts of heavenly qi, yin and yang, and the five elements......

Unable to solve practical difficulties, and hated by the emperor, it is no wonder that in history, the heart society is like a meteor, flashing by, flourishing and declining.

It is time to make use of some time to rectify the study of mind, establish a perfect system, put the study of mind on the right track, and turn it into a feasible study with both ideals and reality, so as to truly conquer the scholars of the Ming Dynasty, make them become faithful believers in the study of mind, lay a solid foundation, and salvage the foundation.

When he came out of the mountain again, his subordinates were full of capable people, heroes came out, and he had enough capital to display his talents in a big way.

……

"Alas, this kid is really calculating!" After Tang Shunzhi read it, he burned the letter, facing a cloud of paper ashes, and his heart kept rising and falling.

The apprentice's vision is indeed powerful, and he advises the king, but he suffers from it, and is demoted out of Beijing, which is almost the most decent one among all the disgraced officials and dismissals. Not only will it not damage Tang Yi's prestige, but it will also change his image of being a lucky goster and a young man, and when he returns to the court in the future, there will be no one who talks about his qualifications and past.

Squatting down is to jump farther, between gains and losses, just right.

Tang Shunzhi couldn't help but sigh, the apprentice is smarter than himself.

In fact, Tang Shunzhi wanted to agree to Jiajing's request, the matter of cultivating Chaotianguan, he would take it next, even if he was ruined, he would carry it, as long as he drove Xu Jie away and supported his apprentice to take the position, he would be considered a teacher with complete merits, and he could rest assured.

Tang Yi chose a path that was more risky, but also more beneficial.

I really don't know if it's a blessing or a curse?

Will Jiajing let Tang Yi get his wish?

How will Xu Jie deal with it?

Tang Shunzhi felt that things would not be so simple, and he couldn't just think about the benefits and not pay attention to the risks. The apprentice thought about it at home, and the one who became the master was going to go out.

Tang Shunzhi immediately increased his attention to everyone, and he did not let go of any disturbance.

On the second day after the master and apprentice were driven out, Jiajing sent Shi Gonggong to Xu Jie's mansion to greet him, and also sent a box of angelica to greet Lord Shoufu's body.

Angelica, Angelica!

The next day, Xu Jie returned to the cabinet, and people noticed that Lord Shoufu was not like before, with a lovely smile, and when he saw everyone, he was like a spring breeze, even if he wanted to kill you, he would smile.

After this change, Xu Jie's expression was solemn, his face was blue, and he could see that people's hearts were hairy, and they even shuddered. Xu Jie, no one saw it, sat in the duty room for an hour, and then went to the Wanshou Palace, and Jiajing talked for a long time, that night, there was news, Xu Ge Lao thought that Chaotianguan was a royal temple, was struck by lightning and caught fire, it was unlucky, it should be repaired immediately, and the feng shui of the capital should be repaired immediately, and the feng shui of the capital will not be endless.

The Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry were instructed to jointly handle the matter, allocate 1.5 million taels of silver from the Ministry of Households, advance 1 million taels from the autumn tax, and levy 50,000 yuan from the people, and from now on, restore the Chaotian Temple.

I have to say that Xu Ge is really a genius, and he was stunned to come up with a non-existent feng shui to talk about things. It's just that this reason is very strong, and no one dares to refute it clearly, otherwise they will be charged with destroying feng shui.

Elder Xu Ge also won Jiajing's appreciation because of this proposal, and the holy family recovered, and the crumbling phase was miraculously preserved.

It's just that the price is a bit big, 1.5 million taels of silver, the household department was emptied at once, and 300,000 taels were borrowed from the big households to make up the amount.

The officials in Beijing were postponed for three months, and many people in Qingshui Yamen had red eyes, what are you kidding, the autumn harvest is the lowest time for grain prices, and the big guys want to stock up on more grain, buy coal and charcoal, and store some radish and cabbage for winter.

Moreover, the requisition of 50,000 people, the movement was even too great, it was the time of the autumn harvest, many people had just begun to cut the wheat, take off the poles, and dry it, but they were taken away by the wolf-like officials, leaving only a family of old and weak women and children, facing the fields, there was no place to cry.

The prefectures and counties around the capital were all suffering, and some people, in order to avoid forced labor, even cut off their fingers and became disabled. For a time, the people were all over the country, and the people were struggling to make a living.

God seemed to feel the sorrow of the people, and the autumn rain began to fall, cold and icy.

Finished! At harvest time, I am most afraid of rain, but the strong labor is taken away again, the wheat left in the field can not be harvested, only moldy and spoiled, this winter I don't know how many people will freeze and starve to death, what a sin! (To be continued.) )
