Chapter 775 is not a channel

The current Ming system is just a blank, and semi-finished products are not counted. Even so, a bunch of bigwigs in the cabinet are guarding against Chen Xie externally and fighting internally. I don't know what these people's brains think, do you really think that Chen Xie is a bully? Anyway, Chen Zilong couldn't understand the mentality of these people, obviously the actual control of the entire Jingshi was still in Chen Xie's hands, as long as Speaker Chen gave an order, the army could be dispatched at any time to destroy these self-righteous guys.

Chen Zilong's thoughts belong to a normal mode of thinking, and the current Ming government itself has always been abnormal. At the beginning of the establishment of the new government, Chen Xie had the opportunity to take control of the entire imperial court, but he gave up. As time goes by, don't say it, those guys in the cabinet are really smart, and they can keep testing as long as they don't touch Chen Xie's bottom line. Speaking of which, they are really helpless, they have no military power in their hands, so they can only defend their interests in this way. Even if they understand that it is a bit of a cat-and-mouse game, they all acquiesce to the rules of the game. In addition, they did not have a good way to defend the interests of the "righteous name" and "priest" whom they regarded as the Holy Spirit.

Let's put it this way, these smart people have always thought that what really restricts Chen Xie from touching the bottom line is this righteous name. Otherwise, how do you explain that Chen Xie's current strength would rather leave the cabinet to develop overseas? For them, this is the most plausible explanation. In other words, it is impossible to understand that Chen Xie's deep care is actually a protection measure for the vitality of the nation and cultural inheritance. Otherwise, what is the difference between Chen Xie and "Qingfeng is illiterate"?

The land of China has experienced many catastrophes of civilization, and Chen Xie does not want to repeat it again. Although simple and brutal force is direct and effective, compared to the entire Chinese civilization, Chen Xie really does not want to stage another prosperous era of monarchical centralization. Especially after the emasculation of culture!

All in all, everyone is not on the same channel. What Chen Xie thinks and thinks is not the same development route as those people at all. In this case, let Daming take a path of self-development and expand the living space of the nation, and leave it to overseas alliances to do, and at the same time urge Daming's self-development and the progress of change.

Chen Xie has never been a noble person. Not a pure person, nor is he a person who is detached from low-level interests. In the final analysis, there are two reasons, one is the fear of trouble and lack of fun, whether it is infighting or killing one's own compatriots, it is very troublesome and boring. The second reason is the so-called nationalism, which Chen Xie has never denied.

Chen Zilong felt unbearable. Chen Xie felt that it didn't matter. The reason is actually very simple, in the process of continuous compromise, the political system of the Ming Dynasty has been changed beyond recognition by Chen Xie. The highly centralized cabinet system of the monarch in the early Ming Dynasty, which Zhu Youzhen painstakingly restored, now of course, does not exist, and even most of the emperor's power has been replaced by the cabinet.

If it can achieve its goal of peaceful evolution, why use knives and guns. This is where Chen Xie's original intention lies. In other words, the entire Ming Dynasty is because of itself. Chen Xie's system is not a problem at all, and even Chen Xie still hopes. Da Ming was able to pose a threat to the system he had built.

Under the banner of the Ming Dynasty, the overseas alliance is in a companion relationship with the Ming Dynasty, so is it not a competitive relationship with each other?

"Two brothers, you've worked hard all the way!" Chen Xie did not go out to greet him, but still stood on the steps in front of the main hall and bowed his hand. Qian Qianyi and Shi Kefa's faces didn't have much emotion except for tiredness. Bow hands to each other. After letting Chen Xie take the lead, the maid serving tea retreated after taking a seat, and Shi Kefa couldn't wait to speak.

"Sihua, Joseon, Dongying, and Ryukyu are all vassals of the Ming Dynasty. What Sihua did had to take into account the face of the imperial court. ”

Shi Kefa is character, he is not the kind of person who likes to go around in circles, of course, there is a lack of decisiveness in his character, history has proven. Dealing with him, Chen Xie is at ease, not to mention Qian Qianyi, who has a crooked ass.

"Xianzhi, you can't say this to me, do you? Especially Toei, the Tokugawa shogunate repeatedly tried to communicate the relationship with the Ming Dynasty, but it seems that the imperial court ruthlessly rejected it. As for the Ryukyus, when the Satsuma clan invaded, the imperial court did not seem to have a good plan. Speaking of North Korea, hehehe, what else do you want me to say? Chen Xie replied very blandly, calmly picked up the teacup and took a sip, of course, this is not serving tea to send guests, Chen Xie doesn't like to do this.

Shi Kefa was speechless for a moment, he understood what Chen Xie meant. Whether it's North Korea, Ryukyu, or Japan, how can it be possible to take care of it when the Ming Dynasty itself is difficult to protect. What kind of situation was the Ming Dynasty in Zhu Youzhen's era, Shi Kefa knew very well in his heart. Therefore, as the suzerain, Da Ming is not qualified to make irresponsible remarks at all.

"Sihua, you must always take into account the feelings of the Shangshu in the Ministry of Rites." When Shi Kefa was speechless, Qian Qianyi opened his mouth to play a round. After the restructuring, the Ministry of Rites has a very professional department -- the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the former Ministry of Rites is no longer there, but Cabinet Minister Qian Qianyi is still in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Rites in the past. Traditionally, people will still take out the past rite department and talk about it.

"Mr. Mu Zhai, if it weren't for the friendship of the court and everyone, would the two of you still be able to sit here and call Chen a brother?" This was even more ruthless, and Qian Qianyi had nothing to say. At this time, they can sit and talk with each other, isn't it because Chen Xie looks at the past friendship? Otherwise, Chen Xie should sit high in the seat of the monarch, and the two in front of him are at most standing and talking, and they are not qualified to sit against the monarch of a country.

"Sihua, if you are not mistaken, the entire overseas alliance is part of Daming." Shi Kefa thought that when he grabbed Chen Xie's weakness and struck hard, Chen Xie smiled indifferently and said: "Xianzhi, that's because Chen is afraid of the kindness of the first emperor, otherwise do you think Chen is really a person with no temper?" "At this point, it's hard to continue the conversation. Shi Kefa's face changed, and Qian Qianyi's expression was also quite embarrassed. After the Ministry of Rites became the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Rites was lightly responsible for reaching out to neighboring countries such as Korea and Japan. Now that Chen Xie has set up an overseas alliance, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has become an ornament, and there is nothing to do. There is really no suitable partner to deal with, not to mention, and no one wants to go to Europe to wander around and establish any diplomatic relations, in short, it is very embarrassing.

Shi Kefa's face turned white, he stood up and said sharply: "Chen Sihua, you ......." ”

Chen Xie stood up with a smile and said, "It's been hard all the way, let's go and rest first, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it after resting." ”

Chen Zilong, who had not spoken, sent the two out with a smile, and returned to the front hall of the reception after settling down, Chen Xie was still sitting in his original seat, holding a thing in his hand and looking at it carefully, seeing him come in and put down the things in his hand and smiled: "Wozi, don't talk about the hard work all the way, listen to the complaints of one ear, right?" ”

Chen Zilong said solemnly: "Sihua, why don't you break away from the Ming Dynasty and stand on your own?" Chen Xie put away the smile on his face, shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, in general, the court will not live up to Chen, and the court will not live up to it." ”

Chen Zilong sighed heavily, shook his head with a wry smile: "I am also one of them, and I know the roots." At the time of the first emperor, the Central Plains was erosive, the court had no salary available, and everyone was worried about their own family resources, and no one was willing to give a tael of silver for the court. Greed is endless, if you give one step, they will dare to take three steps. ”

Chen Xie smiled when he heard this, he didn't want to work hard, Chen Zilong's attitude finally changed. "Wozi, the Ming Dynasty is a large agricultural civilization, and the Ming system, which has lasted for more than two hundred years, is too difficult to change. If Zai Xia can be ruthless and eliminate all those who dare to go against Zaixia's wishes, it will take at least three years to return Da Ming to a stable state, and I don't know how many people's heads will be cut off. Chen Xie can only say this, it can't be said that every so-called national integration is a road paved with the blood of tens of millions of Han people in the Central Plains, right?

Chen Zilong, who is familiar with history books, of course knows this truth very well, which change of dynasty is not a killing of people? In history, the five chaotic China, the Meng Yuan Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, the dead people cannot be counted at all. Even if Chen Xie was just Cao Cao, he would kill a lot of people.

"It's a pity, even if Sihua gives all the benefits that can be given to the imperial court, it may not be able to change much." Chen Zilong was already very disappointed with those former peers in the Ming court, especially after listening to the complaints of the two cabinet ministers along the way, he saw more clearly that even if Chen Xie gave up Liaodong, Huating New District, and the big officials, he couldn't change the status quo of the entire rotten officialdom. The existence of the Independent Commission Against Corruption did cause the trend of corruption in officialdom to be curtailed for a time, but with the passage of time, the old situation sprouted and intensified. Just look at Consul Su in the concession, this is still on Chen Xie's territory.

Chen Xie didn't know how to explain this to him, but he could always say that in the process of transforming agriculture into industry, capital accumulation has always been a dirty process, right? What Chen Xie is afraid of is not that these people will get money, but that after the money is in hand, he will repair the garden or put gold and silver into the jar and bury it deep underground. Chinese's enthusiasm for saving is deep-rooted, and even in modern society, the amount of Chinese savings is something that Western countries cannot understand.

"Xianzhi, money is in the hands of the imperial court, and there is always something to do. In the private sector, if you can't see the possibility of quick profits, who is willing to invest money in doing things? The princes in the court are always more far-sighted than the rich people of the people, right? Even if I am greedy, even if only half of the money is invested in the field of national economy and people's livelihood, for me, I am happy to see it happen. (To be continued......)
