Li Dongyang's words not only showed his heart, but also said a truth that has remained unchanged in ancient and modern times. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

There is no right or wrong in the struggle, there are no good and bad people on both sides of the struggle, morality is just an ornament, and the reason why Li Dongyang stands on the opposite side of Liu Chengfeng is not because there is any flaw in Liu Chengfeng's morality, or how he is heinous. This is not the crux of the matter, the key issue is that Li Dongyang only believes in the cabinet, and this is his position.

Liu Jian was also refreshed when he heard Li Dongyang's words: "Yes, Binzhi's words are shocking, and the old man is taught." ”

Under normal circumstances, the word "teachable" sometimes has a bit of a sarcastic meaning, but Liu Jian said it solemnly, telling Li Dongyang that Li Dongyang's sentence is very useful.

Liu Jian's face was solemn immediately: "Your Majesty's warning, in fact, is just a temptation, although he suspects that you and I are the instigators of this matter, but he is not sure, now Liu Chengfeng may return to Beijing at any time, can not be delayed any longer, once Liu Chengfeng returns to Beijing, it is a loss of all the plates, Binzhi, you tell to go down, and step up again, time can not be delayed." ”

Li Dongyang said with a straight face: "This thing is easy to do, I'll go say hello later." ”

In November, the cold wind was biting, but the biting cold wind did not blow away the enthusiasm of the remarks in the Beijing Division.

Jiangxi was victorious, Lian Guogong wiped out King Ning in one fell swoop, King Ning and more than 170 people related to King Ning were ambushed, and the rest of the rebel backbone totaling more than 700 people were on the way to Beijing.

After that, King Ning's affairs finally came to an end, and this ambitious vassal king had completely stopped as his heart stopped beating.

People always have to die, but King Ning's death is quite a bit of a shock, Liu Chengfeng's guy is also ruthless enough, more than a hundred clans say to kill, and they also warn those who have ambitions in this world that there is no way out for rebellion, and if you want to realize your ambitions, you must bear the consequences.

Of course, there are also people who question that Liu Chengfeng's killing is too heavy, coupled with the incident in Lianzhou, some people are behind the scenes, and it seems that there are many people who accuse.

In fact, what Liu Chengfeng did really frightened many people, because they found that this guy was unruly, and for many people, the most terrible thing was this kind of unruly person.

Even if King Yan was martyred, the emperor at that time, Zhu Yunwen, also said that he must not hurt King Yan. And King Yan is the king of the world, and he has never attacked any of the children of the clan, even the battle for imperial power of Yingzong Zhu Qizhen is just house arrest, and such a large-scale massacre of the clan can be regarded as unheard of.

This is the rule, and this rule is just like the inviolability of private property proposed by scholars and doctors, and the inviolability of private property proposed by later generations of businessmen, all of which are formulated by vested interests, and the golden rule is naturally to protect themselves from infringement, and whoever breaks this rule is a very bad thing.

Now that Liu Chengfeng has broken the rules, and even the clan says that he will kill him, so Ming said that he will also break the rules of the scholars and doctors, and he will humiliate the scholars? Today, someone breaks the rules of the clan, and tomorrow there will naturally be someone who wants to break the rules of the scholars and doctors, and there is such a person in the court, which naturally causes many people to worry.

So the battle of public opinion in this Beijing division is fierce again, some people scold, some people applaud, and say everything, but in the court, the matter related to Lianzhou is obviously not over, one after another, the ministers threaten to resign, and gradually join more and more, so that even some real power figures are also on the stage.

At the same time, the recital from Jiangxi has already arrived, and Liu Chengfeng finally has an echo in response to the emperor's secret decree.

The emperor hoped that things would be calm, and asked Liu Chengfeng to return to those ownerless lands in a consultative tone, and Liu Chengfeng's reply was very simple - no compromise.

In the book, Liu Chengfeng made it very clear that Lianzhou is no longer the Lianzhou of the past, and it doesn't matter if it was the poor countryside in the past, but now Lianzhou, those so-called encroached land, there are already millions of people, most of whom are Han Chinese, a large number of businessmen have purchased land there for investment, and countless people's livelihoods are maintained on this land. Moreover, Lianzhou's order changed overnight, first attracting businessmen to invest, and now there is such a thing, not to mention that the businessmen have lost their fortunes, and after a large number of businessmen go bankrupt, it will even cause a crisis in the whole world.

Liu Chengfeng described such a scene. A large number of merchants in Lianzhou went bankrupt, millions of people lost the land they relied on for survival, then these people are bound to pour into various places, the countryside has no place for them, then the only flow is the cities, plus this bad news is also very likely to make the merchants lose confidence in investment, the workshops will close down one after another, a large number of craftsmen and apprentices will become homeless, in this case, things are not Lianzhou's problem, it is bound to cause disaster to the world.

Behind the book, Liu Chengfeng put on a high hat for the emperor very cunningly, saying that the emperor was a saint and benevolent, and loved the people's own children, how could he see them wandering and losing their livelihood because of some corrupt Confucian views.

Naturally, Liu Chengfeng can't help but talk about taxes, once turbulent, whether it is Lianzhou is a treasure building or a commercial bank, the annual profit will continue to decline, that is to say, the dividends to the imperial court will also plummet, the emperor should focus on the overall situation, do not listen to the words of Confucianism, and leave a disaster for future generations.

Now the imperial court has been spending money on the ground, in fact, this is also a very serious thing, in the past when there was no money, the expenses were small, and now there are many places to spend money, in the past, the imperial court was no matter how to build roads, the river embankment can be maintained, as for the school, it all depends on whether the local government can squeeze out a little money, just find a broken city god temple general.

But now it is different, after having money, the expenses of the imperial court have become larger and larger, such as rebuilding river embankments in various places, such as building roads, such as building schools, such as subsidies for some poor scholars, and even military salaries are very different from before.

From thrift to luxury, it is easy to go from luxury to frugality, and at present, these things need to be continuously invested, and once the bonus is cut in half, these so-called roads, river embankments, schools, and new armies have become castles in the air.

The emperor doesn't know much about these influences, but Liu Chengfeng is an expert in this area after all, and he said that there will be influence, and the emperor is also convinced.

In other words, if you want Liu Chengfeng to return the land, the palace must be prepared for a harsh winter, not only will the current prosperity be gone, but it is also likely to lead to turmoil.

In fact, Liu Chengfeng doesn't need to say so much nonsense, as long as their position is firm, it is impossible for the palace to force him to return the land, after all, he is a meritorious man.

So the next thing began to be embarrassed, the court was too noisy, there was no sign of backing down, and if the palace or Liu Chengfeng did not retreat, then they would break the jar and break it. And Liu Chengfeng's side is also a warning, you must not back down, once you back down, the consequences will be very serious.

The palace is now a little daughter-in-law, and it seems that there is no room for maneuver when she is caught in the middle.

In this situation, Zhu Youjiao, who was in the sickbed, obviously realized that if this problem was not solved immediately, it was very likely to make things worse.

At the same time, the palace seems to be very unfriendly, which is already a bit of a sign of this, for example, on the second day of the first day of November, the palace made a decree, talking about many precautions in this year's Jingcha.

Jingcha is a kind of assessment of the officials of the Beijing Division, in the past, it was once every three years, after the Hongzhi Emperor ascended the throne, it was changed to once a year, under normal circumstances, the leading Jingcha is the official department, and sometimes there will be university scholars involved, Jingcha This thing is sometimes a sharp weapon to eliminate dissent, but sometimes, it is a passing scene.

After all, if you don't have a deep hatred, no one wants to offend people to death, so you will be more or less afraid of other people's face, everyone is mixed in this circle, look up and don't look down, if you wear small shoes for others, if people lose their official position or are demoted, then they will definitely hate you for a lifetime, everyone has relatives and friends, there are relationships, when the time comes, what good end can you have?

So as a last resort, Jingcha is just a passing scene, just like a child playing at home.

The last time the emperor suddenly asked Jingcha, it was because of the matter of the scholar Liu Ji, which was specially used to attack Liu Ji's henchmen. But this time, he suddenly asked, and it was clearly ill-intentioned, and it was quite threatening.

This means to tell everyone not to make too much trouble, otherwise the palace will also clean up people.

It's a pity that this threat doesn't seem to be very effective, because of this will, Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the ministry, immediately wrote a letter, saying that it is a good thing that the emperor attaches importance to Jingcha, and some officials in Beijing have indeed committed some lawlessness recently, and the officials must be conscientious.

It seems that this recital doesn't seem to be anything special, but those who are interested can see that this recital only mentions the emperor, just saying that it is a good thing to pay attention to Jingcha, but the rest is all about how the officials will carry out Jingcha, and it does not mean that it must be worried about the emperor at all.

What does this mean? It means that Ma Wensheng told the emperor that the emperor should pay attention to Jingcha, and Weichen naturally tried his best, but the emperor wanted to use Jingcha to cut off some disobedient ministers, and Weichen did not dare to obey the edict.
