Chapter 645: Goodbye Cao Yubian
A few days later, the front page of the newly published Di Bao was the headline of Yan Shenggong Kong Yinzhi's "The people can make it happen, but they can't make it known", which, according to the meaning of Yang Reform, gave a new interpretation to this Confucian classic, and called on readers to understand the words of the sage from another aspect.
Kong Yinzhi published this kind of article as a descendant of a saint in the capacity of Yan Shenggong, which could be regarded as dropping a bigger bomb on this already jīdàng capital. The wind here is not flat, and the wind is rising again, and the capital at this time can only be described as unpredictable.
This city, which has gathered popularity and is already very lively, is even more lively. Everyone guessed what it meant. All kinds of speculations have appeared.
Yang Reform is very happy to see this newspaper, a long time of planning, now it has finally become a reality, for this action in the ideology, Yang Reform has a sense of relief, dealing with other things, but there is no need to be as careful as this, even if you do it wrong, there is still room for retreat, you can operate ideological things, it is really dangerous, a careless, there will be a big problem, now it seems that the operation is in place.
After reading the newspaper, Yang Gengai happily picked up the pen and wrote a letter to Xu Guangqi, who was far away in the south, firstly to share the joy, and secondly, to explain the matter. Recently, I have been dealing with and paying attention to the affairs of the north and the capital, but I have been a little lax about the affairs of the south, and now we need to pay more attention to it.
I picked up the pen and wrote a paragraph. Wang Chengen came over to report: "Your Majesty, Cao Yubian Cao Zongxian asked to see. ”
"Cao Yubian?" Yang Reform heard that Cao Yubian was coming, immediately put down the pen, and asked carefully, Yang Reform has not expanded the imperial party unlimitedly, nor has he recruited the imperial party unlimitedly, nor does he think that a voice in the court is a good thing, this state, short-term existence can be, but if it exists for a long time, many things will inevitably go to the extreme, over time, once there is a problem, it must be a big problem, Yang Reform has been considering, rebalancing the balance of power in the court, to avoid a monopoly. Yang Reform plans to use Han Yi, intends to let Han Yi act as the vanguard of overseas expansion, naturally, he also has to take a whip to spur Han Yi's faction at any time, undoubtedly, Cao Yubian's remaining forces are a good choice, Yang Reform has always hoped that Cao Yubian can stay, but unfortunately, Cao Yubian is one after another to ask for "beggar bones", asking for retirement, Yang Reform has stopped many times, this time, Yang Reform can finally talk to him well.
"Back to Your Majesty, exactly." Wang Chengen replied.
Reform said.
Not long after, the elderly Cao Yubian entered the warm pavilion.
"Bow to your majesty!" Cao Yubian is also a regular kowtow, but he is old, and he seems to be shaking.
"General Constitution, Companion, Watch." Yang Reform hurriedly said, I didn't expect it, I haven't seen it for many days, this Cao Yubian is actually old all of a sudden, this is beyond Yang Reform's expectations, looking at this appearance, Yang Reform hurriedly asked Wang Chengen to sit down, for fear that one would accidentally fall. Yang Gengai couldn't help but be disappointed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Cao Yubian thanked him, and then sat down tremblingly, the old Longzhong's demeanor was quite obvious.
Faced with such a state, Yang Reform didn't know where to start, and fell into silence.
After being silent for a while, Cao Yubian, who was old and old, seemed to have some spirit, and seemed to have saved up enough strength, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is old, and he can no longer serve His Majesty, please let Your Majesty resign......" Cao Yubian's voice was quite old, and there was a considerable gap between him and before.
"The Qing family has ...... what they say, and I still hope that the Qing family can always accompany me and fill in the gaps for me." Yang Gai looked at Cao Yubian's appearance, and he really didn't know what to say. originally prepared a lot of words to say to Cao Yubian, but now it is useless.
"Your Majesty, one is that the minister is too old to stay at His Majesty's side; The second is that there is no place for the ministers in the DPRK to gain a foothold......" Cao Yubian said, and as he spoke, Cao Yubian's spirit was much better.
"Oh, what do you mean by that?" Yang reformed.
"Your Majesty, if the minister still stays in the court, then how should Han Ge Lao deal with himself?" Cao Yubian said.
"Oh, this ......" Yang Gai realized that this problem was indeed a problem, Cao Yubian and Han Yi were fighting over taxes. The dispute over tax payment is Han Yi's bad for Cao Yubian, they have a grudge, but in fact, it was Cao Yubian who robbed Han Yi of the top spot, which said, the relationship between them is even more complicated, and now that it has reached this level, it is indeed difficult to think that both of them are in the court. ,
"Your Majesty, today's minister is specially asking Your Majesty to resign, the minister is too old, and he also feels that time is running out, I am afraid that I can no longer serve Your Majesty, and I ask Your Majesty to have mercy and let the minister go back." Cao Yubian said.
"I really hope that the Qing family can stay in the court, and there is indeed a lack of people like the Qing family who are highly respected and outspoken." Yang Reform has always been like leaving Cao Yubian behind, allowing Cao Yubian to exist as an important opposition force, and without a weighty opposition like Cao Yubian, Yang Reform feels that there is always something missing in the DPRK.
"Your Majesty, although the minister has a little courage and has won a reputation for being outspoken and daring, in fact, this short-sightedness and can't do things in the middle, and staying in the court is really useless." Cao Yubian said.
"The Qing family doesn't have to be arrogant, although the Qing family has repeatedly embarrassed me, but I feel that there must be a person like the Qing family who can speak out and dare to admonish, so that I can not have problems, so that I can avoid mistakes, without the Qing family, this court is like missing a mirror......" Yang Gai said, which was considered to have given Cao Yubian a high evaluation.
"Your Majesty has won the award, and the minister feels that his heart is too heavy, and he can't do things in a proper way, so he doesn't dare to ......compare himself with a mirror," Cao Yubian said.
Speaking of this head, there is really nothing to say, Yang Reform wants Cao Yubian to stay, but in fact, Cao Yubian is impossible to stay, the grievances between him and Han Yi determine that there can only be one left between him and Han Yi, Yang Reform is naturally impossible to drive Han Yi away, this is impossible, even if Han Yi has some problems and some problems, Yang Reform will not drive Han Yi away, the group of people led by Han Yi, Yang Reform still expects them to expand their territory, and Cao Yubian's current state is really old. I'm afraid it's really not long before I can keep it.
There was a half-silence.
"Since the Qing family insists on going, then I have no choice but to fulfill the wish of the Qing family, but after the Qing family goes, who will take over the Qing family's class? I hope that the Qing family can recommend someone for me. Yang Reform turned to the next best thing and asked Han Yi to recommend someone. Since Cao Yubian insisted on leaving, he couldn't stay, and he couldn't stay for long, and Yang Reform needed Cao Yubian's faction to continue to be the opposition, so he naturally hoped that Cao Yubian could push an heir out so that he could continue to lead the opposition.
"Back to Your Majesty, this minister must not say that this should be recommended by the court, not by the minister, if the minister recommends, it is a violation of the rules of the court, and there is no discipline......" Cao Yubian immediately refused, and he was very sober about this.
"Oh, I see." Yang Reform nodded, it seems that it is indeed a bit reckless to ask this question. But it doesn't matter, Cao Yubian's faction still has some energy, and in the future, the officials will report candidates, and they will only need to order their faction at that time, and the effect will be the same, but the way is different. Now that he has told Cao Yubian about it, although he refused, he must have a plan in his heart, and naturally knows what to do.
There was silence for a while.
“…… Your Majesty, the minister has a word, I don't know whether to ask or not......" Cao Yubian's spirit seems to be stronger again, and the tone of his speech is also stronger, and it seems to be much more powerful.
"If the Qing family has something to say, just ask ......" Yang Reform said, for Cao Yubian's departure, Yang Reform's feelings can be described as quite complicated, seeing Cao Yubian's appearance, Yang Reform's heart is really sad.
“…… Your Majesty, in today's newspaper, is the words of Yan Shenggong true? …… The minister knew that Yan Shenggong would definitely not say this himself, there must be a reason, and in the universe, His Majesty can do this......" Cao Yubian said this, his spirit was obviously much stronger, and the light in his eyes also flashed, it seemed that the "aggressive" Cao Yubian was back again. But it can be clearly seen that this is Cao Yubian's strong spirit, and his state of decline is quite obvious.
"Well, yes, it's true that I asked the Holy Father of Yan to do this." Yang didn't think much about it, and admitted it. Recalling the bits and pieces of contact with Cao Yubian, Yang Reform is even more emotional, he can be the emperor, Cao Yubian has also played a role in it, although Cao Yubian is the Donglin Party, but in some aspects, Cao Yubian is still very good, and now Cao Yubian is leaving, and he is afraid that time is running out, which is also emotional.
"Your Majesty, to put it mildly, this is to change the law!" Cao Yubian suddenly said bitterly, crying on his face, tears came from his eyes.
"......" Yang Gai didn't answer, and was silent for a while.
"Your Majesty, the minister is old, and he has begged for bones, and his time is short, so he shouldn't talk about this matter anymore, but ...... Your Majesty, this matter is really ......, and it is a foolish thing to cut off my Daming Jiangshan Society! Cao Yubian said bitterly, and after speaking, he fell to his knees crying. ,
"Big companion, quickly help Cao Qing's family up......" Yang Reform immediately asked Wang Chengen to help Cao Yubian up, which scared Yang Reform, what happened to this person recently? Kneel down at every turn?
Wang Chengen hurriedly helped Cao Yubian, who was aging Longzhong, up. Cao Yubian sat on the chair, a little out of breath, and tears fell down her eyes, as if she was very sad.
Yang Reform slumped, he didn't know what to say, but he didn't expect this Cao Yubian, although he was a Donglin party, he was also a royalist.
"Then where do the Qing family think I'm confused?" Yang Gengai saw that Cao Yubian's spirit was better, and began to talk seriously with Cao Yubian, this Cao Yubian probably also represents the opinions of a considerable number of ministers of the DPRK and China, otherwise, Cao Yubian, who has begged for bones many times in a row, probably will not come to see him, I am afraid that this is the purpose of his coming today.
“…… Your Majesty, forgive the ministers, Confucianism is the pillar of the society, Your Majesty is now proposing a new interpretation of Confucianism, and forcing Yan Shenggong to come forward to reinterpret the Confucian classics, Your Majesty, this is not to cut off what is the country? Isn't that stupid? Your Majesty's prestige is now unique, naturally not afraid of any accidents, but the Ming Dynasty will always pass on, Your Majesty is a Ming Lord who has not been born for 500 years, and I can't continue to produce a Ming Lord who has not been born for 500 years, isn't this even God jealous? Cao Yubian said hard, the worry in his words was gushing out, although he usually did not deal with the emperor and embarrassed the emperor everywhere, but at the critical moment, he was also a loyal royalist, just like he firmly pushed the emperor to power.
Yang Gai also sighed, these people are also some human spirits, and he only used some means slightly, and these essences smelled the smell, and this nose is really smart.
"Sheji? Landscape? …… Alas......" Yang Reform was also very emotional, knowing what Cao Yubian meant, Yang Reform himself was also very bitter about tearing up the imperial power by himself. But I know that if I didn't appear in this world, the Ming Dynasty in this world would slide into the abyss, and the so-called Jiangshan Sheji is even more of a joke, although it is very important to maintain imperial power, but in the face of history, I must choose another path, and I have hundreds of years of knowledge more than ordinary people. RO!。
