Chapter 672: Homework
Chen Yuting's unexpected words at the Wenhua Hall were indeed quite surprising. Yang Gai felt that this could be seen as a change in the style of scholars and doctors in the Ming Dynasty from a style full of benevolence, righteousness, morality and discussion to fighting for practical interests?
In the past, no one has ever talked so openly about interests or national interests with himself so openly, this is really the sun coming out of the west. This kind of change still came out of the mouth of a "Donglin Party", and this incident was even more surprising, and even shocked.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Chen Yuting can't say this, there must be someone behind him, and those who are familiar with the movements of the court can roughly guess who this person is...... who else can there be besides Cao Yubian?
What is the reason why Cao Yubian, the former "senior official" of the Donglin Party, has changed so much, and he has never only considered the interests of the Donglin Party; From only considering the interests of the people to talking about the interests of the country? Yang Gai was surprised by this, and it was also this that he was playful, his eyes couldn't help but look at Han Yi, but he was afraid that he really responded to that sentence, "Love is true, hate is cut", the reason for this is that it is quite complicated, it may not be that Cao Yubian really has such a high vision; There really is such a big xiōng bosom; It's not that he really has such a noble character, but I'm afraid that there is still "love" and "hatred" for Han Yi and his gang of Han Yi.
Yang Reform was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect that there would be such a dramatic scene in this backwater situation, he originally planned to let Cao Yubian exert his residual heat and continue to act as the villain's horn, but he didn't expect that Cao Yubian would have such a big change, an elite scholar of the Ming Dynasty who put the interests of Chi Luǒ on his lips? Is this the result of one's own "transformation"? Yang Reform was very embarrassed, and the image of Cao Yubian in his mind was completely subverted.
There was such a surprising and unexpected thing in the court, not only did Yang Reform have no mind to deal with today's court politics, but even the ministers didn't have the heart to open a small court meeting, and the monarchs and ministers talked about a few things indiscriminately, and they dispersed the small court in a hurry.
Yang reformed out of the Wenhua Palace, and immediately said to Wang Chengen: "Companion, go and invite Master Sun to come over." "The first thing Yang reformed was to discuss it with Sun Chengzong, today's matter, although there are only a few words, but this amount is definitely not light, and it can even be said that it is a strong stroke, and today's surprising and surprising words have injected a fresh air into this gradually dull situation, which will definitely have a long-term impact. It will have an immeasurable impact on the pattern of the court, the trends, and even the direction of the scholars' speeches, which seems to happen by chance, and may even open up a certain era.
Sun Chengzong arrived soon, and he was also surprised, Yang Gengai saw it and knew that Sun Chengzong was also very surprised.
"Master Sun, this matter in the court today is really a bit surprising......" Yang Gengai asked as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Returning to Your Majesty, it is indeed surprising, it is really hard to imagine that Cao Ziliang will have such a big change, this seems to have set some precedents......" Sun Chengzong immediately understood what the emperor meant, and immediately said what he thought of.
"Yes! Chen Yuting couldn't say these words, and only Cao Yubian said this kind of thing, Cao Yubian said this kind of thing, it really opened my precedent! …… A precedent for profit, profit-seeking...... "Yang reform at this time, still a little bit do not believe that this thing is true, a Ming Dynasty scholar elite who is for the country's words and profits, or a former senior official of the Donglin Party, things have developed to this point, it is really incredible.
"Returning to Your Majesty, yes......" Sun Chengzong is also very embarrassed, he is actually a Yanli faction, but at most, he discussed with the emperor sī Xiali, sī Xia Li said that usually in the court, in front of outsiders, never say it, but today, Chen Yuting in the court red luǒluǒ said that the pursuit of profit is high-sounding, the difference, Sun Chengzong thought of it, he only felt embarrassed.
“…… Uh, it's hard to imagine, I didn't expect things to develop to this point...... "Yang Reform still doesn't believe that this matter is true, if the Ming Dynasty scholars and doctors can put the interests of the country first and talk about the interests of everything, Yang Reform is really going to jump up and laugh.
"Your Majesty, the reason for this, I'm afraid it's very complicated......" Sun Chengzong replied, his face was weird. …,
Yang Reform listened, his face was also strange, the reason for this, the high-level people of the Ming Dynasty were afraid that they all understood that the "love and hatred" between Han Yi and Cao Yubian was really deep.
Sun Chengzong looked at the emperor strangely, this matter was completely made up by the emperor, if the emperor didn't have nothing to give Cao Yubian a secret box, things might not have come to this point, Cao Yubian, who had lost all his money, was afraid that he would also accept his fate, and he would no longer be involved in the battle in the court, and he didn't have that ability, but on the contrary, the emperor intervened in it and made a secret box, I was afraid that Cao Yubian, who was in his last years, would also "see" a lot of things, and there would be such a big upheaval in his thinking, and he would continue to fight with Han Yi in another attitude." entanglement".
Yang Reform also looked at Sun Chengzong strangely, he really didn't blame himself for this.
"Hey...... well, let's not talk about this matter for the time being, I think that such a drastic change in Cao Yubian may not be a good thing, I hope that the courtiers can speak ...... good," Yang Gai said. Calling Sun Chengzong is not only for this matter, but also for more important things to say.
“…… Yes, Your Majesty. Sun Chengzong replied that he had always only secretly spoken about the benefits, and now he is openly and honestly speaking about the benefits of the red luǒluǒ, which may be a good thing.
"Chen Yuting said about the mortgage and debt, I think, maybe it's good, but I can adjust the strategy of Lin Dan Khan a little, no longer give it to him in vain, let him take the corresponding materials in exchange, if not, mortgage, borrow, as Chen Yuting said, as long as it can be said, Lin Dan Khan is willing to take out the mortgage, I want it, give it for nothing, and give it for nothing, it's better to have a mortgage than nothing, if you lend it today, let Lin Dan Khan take it back tomorrow, what does Master Sun think?" Yang Gai said.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister fully supports it, and such an adjustment is more suitable for Your Majesty's strategy." Sun Chengzong replied immediately without thinking about it, Sun Chengzong had already thought about this matter clearly.
"Good! Since Master Sun also thinks that there is no problem, then I will let Liu Jishan implement the new strategy......" Yang Gai said with a smile, and he unexpectedly got a big harvest today.
“…… By the way, big companion, you inform Fan Weicheng, let his Di Bao say what Chen Yuting said today about what year coin alliance said in the Di Bao, and guide the matter of asking Lin Dan Khan to mortgage, to mortgage and borrow debts, you need correct guidance, if you have anything in the future, you can also do it according to this......" Yang Reform thought about it, and said to Wang Chengen, borrowing debts, mortgages, and finally stepped into the field of vision of the elites of the Ming Dynasty, which is undoubtedly a good thing, and it is much more affordable than running with a mouth full of benevolence, righteousness and morality.
"Yes,...... Your Majesty, those words are insulting to Your Majesty's reputation......" Wang Chengen did not agree immediately, but said with a frown.
"It's okay, it's nothing, it's a good thing, the big companion will do it, Liu Jishan is still waiting for this mansion to do something, hehehe......" Yang Gengai said with a smile, the alliance of the year's coins seems to have some influence on him, but these things, it is better to face them head-on than to hide them.
"Slave obeys!" Wang Chengen saw that the emperor insisted, so he didn't say anything more.
……
The ministers who made the small court are also the same as the emperor, for today's incident, they are also quite surprised and surprised, the former Ming Dynasty General Constitution borrowed the mouth of the current Ming Dynasty General Constitution, and talked about profit, mortgage, and debt in the court, which seems to be inconspicuous, but it is really a strange atmosphere brought to the Ming Dynasty.
The ministers got off the court, and immediately talked about it in twos and threes, and the news immediately scattered, in addition to profit-seeking, borrowing and mortgaging, there is one more thing, that is, although Cao Yubian has stepped down, he still has considerable influence on the Korean situation, and the entanglement between Han and Cao is not over, now Han Yi seems to be tough, and Cao Yubian seems to be in his last years, time is short, and he is afraid of being more "sharp", the battle between the two will definitely have a good show to watch, many ministers have an attitude of watching a good show, to see, How the hell is this going to happen.
……
Platform.
Yuan Chonghuan got off the small court, and came directly to the platform, after he took up the post of secretary of the Ministry of War, in addition to dealing with the official affairs of the Ministry of War, he also had to spare a considerable amount of time every day to participate in various deductions on the platform, and participate in the discussion of the war in the north. …,
Although Yuan Chonghuan is the secretary of the military department, he is also cautious and quite modest. The battle of 10,000 miles in the north, even if he is the secretary of the military department, but it is only a part of it, standing at the height of the overall situation to look at the war in the entire north, Yuan Chonghuan really does not have much confidence, he knows that he must study carefully and understand the situation as soon as possible, so he must go to the platform every day to participate in the discussion and deduction of the war in the north.
"Your Majesty has arrived! ......" A long shout, and the people on the platform immediately stood upright, ready to greet the emperor.
After talking to Sun Chengzong, Yang Reform came to the platform again.
Yuan Chonghuan also followed Lizheng and stood upright, waiting for the arrival of the emperor.
Yang Gengai waved his hand slightly, which was regarded as a return gift.
The people in the platform are still busy with themselves.
Several high-ranking officials on the platform who were conducting deductions and arguments about the war in the north all gathered around to welcome the emperor.
Yang Gai went straight to his place.
"I have good news for you today......," Yang said.
When everyone saw the emperor say good news, they all waited for the emperor to see what the good news was.
Yang Gai swept around the people in front of him and set his eyes on Yuan Chonghuan, today's incident is related to Yuan Chonghuan.
“…… The affairs of the Southern Ryukyu Kingdom have already been brought to an eyebrow, and if nothing happens, the good news will come back in a few days......" Yang reformed the news.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty......" Everyone hurriedly congratulated, helping the vassal country to restore the country is also a merit, but it is worth congratulating the emperor.
"Hehe, congratulations are not necessary, the Ryukyu country is not as big as my county, even if you help him restore the country, it is not a great deal......" Yang Reform said, although he said that it was not a big deal, but he was still very proud in his heart, compared to Chongzhen in history, he didn't even have the ability to help Ryukyu restore the country, and he was much stronger than him.
“…… Originally, if you want to face the war in the north, your mind should be on this, and I shouldn't talk about it, so as not to break the hearts of your families, but since this has happened, I will mention it......" Yang Gai said.
Several other people looked at the emperor puzzled, not knowing what the emperor was going to say, only Sun Chengzong knew what the emperor was going to say.
“…… After helping the Ryukyus to restore the country, then next, we have to deal with the counterattack and disturbance of the Japanese state, and the sailor may fight with the Japanese state, I want to ask, what should be the strategy of our dynasty to deal with the Japanese state? Also, in the future, our dynasty may have to go south, and we may rebuild the Jiaozhi political envoy department, so how should we face today's Jiaozhi, and even farther Nanyang, the West, and even more distant places......" Yang said.
Several people looked at the emperor with some surprise.
“…… As I said just now, this matter should not be mentioned, so as not to divide the hearts of your families, but if it happens to happen, then I will also test you on this matter, and see your strategies for dealing with the Japanese Kingdom, the South Seas, the Western Ocean, and even further places, after the secretaries go back, write down the strategies in their minds, and I will give them three days, and I will see ...... after three days," Yang Gai said.
"Your Ministers obey!" Yuan Chonghuan, Qin Liangyu and Man Gui were all surprised, why did the emperor suddenly want to test them?
Yang Gengai looked at Sun Chengzong, and Sun Chengzong's face was calm.
“…… This matter is a small adjustment, and several secretaries still have to focus on the war in the north......" Yang Gai said again.
"Your Ministers obey!" A few said yes.
……
Liaodong.
Jinning.
As soon as the new governor of Liaodong, Hong Chengchou, took office, he met with his subordinates one by one, striving to get familiar with this place as soon as possible and adapt to it as soon as possible.
Having seen many large and small generals, Hong Chengchou has a basic understanding of the situation in Liaodong.
Originally, after seeing these large and small generals, it was over, and Hong Chengchou could understand that there was still a special team active on the Liaodong battlefield, and these teams were not under the command of the generals, but they were very vigorous in covering the Dongdong, and they were quite active in the "scout war" on the Liaodong battlefield, which was quite active, and this was those "bounty hunters".
Hong Chengchou became curious about these people, the origin of these people, Hong Chengchou also has some understanding, most of them come to try their luck outside the Guan, the reward here is quite high, if you are lucky, do it for a year or two, maybe you can go home and buy a few acres of land, it is no problem to be a well-off home, so it is also quite attractive to be a bounty hunter outside the Guan. …,
Today, Hong Chengchou specially met with a more famous team in this industry, and was ready to take a closer look at this special team. This is a relatively well-known team of bounty hunters, and the leader is called Yang Liu.
Doing enough homework has always been a matter of great attention to Hong Chengchou.
"You mean, many of the people who come to Liaodong to do your job are from Shaanxi? Among them, Yulin and other places are the most? Hong Chengchou and Yang Liu came over politely and began to ask.
"Your Excellency, Exactly." Yang Liu said with a slight move, Yang Liu is still very moved to be personally received by a high-ranking official like the governor, not to mention, this person, who is said to be the emperor, is from Shaanxi, and he also has a bit of friendship, so he does not hide anything from Hong Chengchou's inquiry.
"Oh, I see, according to Benfu's observation, you have made a great effort in the matter of *** Dongyu, have you ever thought of taking refuge in the official army?" Hong Chengchou had some thoughts.
"My lord, this matter, speaking of which, is really unspeakable...... Yang Liu insisted on this issue, his origin is a little unusual, there is considerable resistance to this proposal, he was also an official and a soldier back then, and he was still a leader.
"Oh, don't say it...... by the way, if you don't join the official army, where will the firearms and ammunition come from?" Hong Chengchou asked deliberately, now that military control is implemented outside the border, it is not that civilians are not allowed to hold weapons, but that they support or even require everyone to hold weapons, and firearms and ammunition can be bought, of course, it is necessary to prove that not everyone can buy musket ammunition, and different people can buy different weapons.
"Lord Hui, the firearms and ammunition of the grass people are all bought in the gun shop, and there are indeed some differences from others, and they can indeed buy things that ordinary people can't buy, speaking of which, they still borrowed the light ...... Lord Shi" Yang Liu also replied, getting this preferential treatment that is different from ordinary people, this is also accidental, and even thanks to Shi Kefa's reputation, now, with the help of this preferential treatment, they are getting stronger and stronger, and they have become a famous group of bounty hunters in Liaodong.
"Oh, Master Shi? But Lord Shi Kefa? Hong Chengchou asked, about the background of this team, Hong Chengchou also has some understanding, and now asking, just to further determine, or rather, to show the relationship. He is the imperial party, Shi Kefa is also the imperial party, the imperial party and the imperial party should take care of each other, not to mention that Shi Kefa seems to be a person valued by the emperor, and now he is working with Xu Guangqi, and his achievements in the future are limitless, and it is necessary for him to make friends.
"Lord Hui, it is exactly, we all borrowed the light of Lord Shi to survive, and we got the recommendation of Lord Shi, so I came to Liaodong to fight Tartars, one is to eat with a mouthful of food; Second, it is also to repay His Majesty's great kindness, and repay the kindness of Lord Shi...... "Yang Liu immediately threw Shi Kefa out, and now, Shi Kefa's card has gradually become their umbrella, whoever wants to move them, they have to consider Shi Kefa's background, in Liaodong, a place where there are many large armies, it is not possible to eat without finding some back.
"Counting it up, Master Shi can also be regarded as a colleague of Benfu, and back then, he was also an official in Shaanxi,...... Thanks to Your Majesty! Hong Chengchou does have some intention of taking this team into his pocket, but Hong Chengchou values his "homework" more.
