Chapter 340: Lip Talk
Kneeling is a very painful thing, in addition to Baotai and Long Keduo, the rest are all old, even if they tie soft pads on their legs, after a long time, they can't bear it.
Finally heard that Kangxi gave a seat to enjoy tea, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts, otherwise they wouldn't dare to say much at all, and they couldn't afford to kneel! After thanking him, everyone got up and sat down, but they were wondering what Kangxi's attitude was towards overseas separation? Since the Fourteenth Master has already mentioned it to Kangxi, to what extent have the two spoken?
Prince Yu Baotai glanced at everyone, all the ministers in the study of this gang are scheming people, and Long Keduo and Ma Gaoming are military generals, and Oro Dai is newly convicted, only he is suitable to take the lead in replying to this matter, and he is also strongly in favor of overseas feudalization, even if there is a place for a fief, he is not willing to nest in this capital, a prince, unrestrained, do whatever he wants, how can this empty prince compare?
After thinking about it for a while, Bao Tai said cautiously: "Back to the emperor, overseas feuds, fiefs far overseas, do not affect the centralization and unity of the imperial court, do not hinder the passage of imperial decrees, and do not consume the country's material and financial resources.
Even if it is not divided, overseas lands, the imperial court is beyond the reach of the whip, rather than let it be barren, it is better to divide the feud, and the emperor can also have one more way to reward.
The slave steals that the overseas division can be called a number in one fell swoop, beneficial and harmless. ”
As soon as they saw Baotai throwing bricks and jade, everyone was not in a hurry to express their position, wanting to see what Kangxi's attitude was, but Kangxi did not say a word, and even his expression did not change in the slightest.
Everyone couldn't help but be cautious, overseas feudalization is an unprecedented initiative in all dynasties, there is no history to learn from, its impact is huge, and it is completely foreseeable that the benefits are also obvious, but it is involved in the struggle for the prince, before they can't figure out what Kangxi means, they don't dare to speak nonsense.
Overseas subdivision was proposed by Yinzhen Zhang Pengxi, as a capable member of the 14th Party, naturally wants to try his best to promote, Kangxi gathered all the ministers in the study today to discuss this matter, which is to set the tone of this matter in advance, but it is not clear what Kangxi's attitude is towards this matter? He couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart, and secretly blamed the Fourteenth Master for not ventilating before, thinking of this, his heart couldn't help but light up, since the Fourteenth Master didn't communicate with them, that is to say, the Fourteenth Master had great confidence in this matter, that is to say, Kangxi was in favor of the majority!
That being the case, there is no need to advocate it anymore, but on the contrary, it is necessary to pick and choose thorns and arouse arguments to argue the feasibility of overseas partitioning from both sides, so as to have the effect of picking up the missing and filling in the gaps.
Thinking about the joints, Zhang Pengxi thought about it for a while, and then muttered: "Everything has advantages and disadvantages, overseas feudalism is not only beneficial to the country, but also has its disadvantages, the harm of feudalization needless to say, even if it is overseas feudal, over time, it is inevitable that there will be a trend of the end of the country."
Second, in order to implement overseas feudalism, it is inevitable that there will be a suspicion of reckless military force in waging wars overseas to open up territory. Third, the development of overseas fiefdoms will inevitably require a lot of manpower, and now Sichuan and Taiwan are still vast and sparsely populated, and it seems that there is a suspicion of sacrificing the basics. ”
As soon as I heard Zhang Pengxi so mercilessly criticize the overseas separation, and every sentence was to the point, everyone in the hall was stunned, and the 14th Party nest was reversed? Li Guangdi groaned slightly, and he understood Zhang Pengxi's intentions, but he had always been cautious, although he secretly admired in his heart, he refused to say more.
Several ministers in the study, which one is not a human spirit, with a slight touch, they all understood, and their hearts couldn't help but be relieved, since they knew Kangxi's attitude, this matter was much easier.
Wang Ke can be said to be the prince's die-hard loyalty, in the prince's mutiny, he suggested that the prince close the nine gates to release the hostage of the ministers, but it was a mistake to make a contribution, for the prince to surrender with 7,000 people outside the Anding Gate, he was puzzled at first, and after the news of the overseas division came out, he faintly guessed that it might be the fourteenth master or Kangxi who agreed to trick the prince into exile overseas. …,
If the overseas division can be carried out smoothly, the prince's chances of exile overseas will be one more point, since Kangxi is inclined to overseas division, the king no longer has any scruples, and immediately took the lead in saying: "Weichen dare not agree, overseas wild land, narrow land and sparse people, how can it become a big trend?" Moreover, the sea route is long, and the Qing navy is extremely strong, so there is no need for mediocre people to worry about themselves. ”
Xiao Yongzao is the old Bayi Party, overseas feudal, the fourteenth master is obviously to win the hearts of the people, this matter is not conducive to Kangxi, oppose, he does not dare, but to give the fourteenth master some eye medicine, but it is a double win, he then said: "To open up overseas fiefdoms, it may not cost a lot of manpower, it is completely possible to plunder overseas natives for development, in this way, it can not only open up the territory, but also enrich the national strength, both for the benefit of the imperial court, and for the great benefit of the clan and nobles, overseas feudalization, can be said to be a popular move." ”
Ma Qi understood when he heard this, and he was familiar with sowing discord, so he immediately said: "Overseas separation, another way, there is the benefit of separation, but there is no harm of separation, it is really an unprecedented innovation, and it will be recited by future generations." As soon as this incident came out, it caused a sensation in the capital, and everyone rushed to inquire, which can be seen to be deeply popular. ”
Zhang Pengxi secretly slandered himself when he heard it, these two are not good birds, they are singing praises openly, but they are actually ill-intentioned and do their best to provoke things, but from his standpoint, it is difficult to refute the two.
Long Keduo is not an idle character, he is secretly frightened when he listens, these ministers in the study are really murderous and bloodless, the so-called lip and tongue is nothing more than that, but today it is an eye-opener, but on this occasion, it is inconvenient for him to interject, just listen with his head bored.
≡ Zhu is a neutral faction, the four sides do not rely on, he is an old military affairs, naturally he is to promote his strengths and avoid weaknesses, and he said loudly after a little muttering: "The navy has won a great victory in the South Seas, conquering Manila and Greater Luzon, which Spain has entrenched for many years, and has not used much troops, it can be seen that the conquest of overseas places does not need to be laborious. ”
Kangxi has experienced countless party struggles in his life, and he is clear about the camp, position, and focus of the ministers in the study, and after listening, he just glanced at everyone, but he secretly sighed in his heart, the old fourteen is really talented, none of these top ministers of the imperial court can see the hidden purpose behind this overseas division.
Glancing at Li Guangdi, who was silent, Kangxi hesitated slightly before saying: "This matter, tomorrow the court will discuss it openly, so kneel down." After speaking, he added: "Li Guangdi stays." ”1
