Chapter 622: Co-rule with the Emperor

Zhang Jingyi knew very well that Sun Chengzong really wanted to be able to talk to him from the bottom of his heart.

So Zhang Jing paced one by one, thought about it, and then said: "At this point today, who has a choice?" You and I have no choice, Your Majesty is so, I am so, and so are the scholars. ”

"Of course, I know what the impact of this will be. But...... I know better what happens if I don't! ”

After a pause, Zhang Jingyi continued to say sincerely: "If I don't do this, then ...... All the achievements I have done today will eventually be buried by them, just like when I went to the West, how much manpower and material resources were spent by the imperial court to build the largest fleet in the world. But so what? As soon as Zheng He died, Emperor Chengzu died, and finally ...... Nothing. They first reduced the allocation of the fleet, then disbanded the crew and shipwrights, and then began to wreck the ships, and finally ...... It is directly forbidden to the sea, and the sheets are not allowed to go to the sea. ”

"Today, I can destroy Jiannu, why? Is it just because of Donglin Military Academy? Or is it because of ...... Countless craftsmen, made of magic weapons? But...... What's the use, there is no one who is really tied to the Donglin Army and the craftsmen in the court, and let these people be in the court, then ten years later, twenty years later, what will it look like? ”

"Those Donglin students, they have maintained their lives and their own honor and disgrace on my Zhang Jingyi, they have great contributions to the imperial court, but once Your Majesty dies, once the governor of Pontus is gone? Once it is gone, these people in the DPRK, like Qian Qianyi and Xue Zhen, will annihilate all the achievements little by little. So much so that in the end, nothing will be left. They can do such a thing, in order to prevent the meritorious men from ending up in a miserable ending, in order to prevent those students from becoming Qiu Ba again, what choice do I have Zhang Jingyi? ”

Sun Chengzong was speechless when he heard this, he actually knew very well that what Zhang Jingyi said was right.

Over the years, the party struggle between the DPRK and China has intensified, and once these people regain power, then all the current national policies will be overturned again.

In the end, Sun Chengzong sighed and said: "Why is this, why is it here......"

Although he sighed like this, he looked weak, and then Sun Chengzong said: "It's just...... Without them, the world would ...... Isn't it going to be a big mess? Could it be that I, the Ming Dynasty, can rule the world with martial artists alone? So what about the locality? Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the world has been unified, and it is precisely the scholars who maintain the unity. ”

Sun Chengzong voiced his last concern.

This...... What Sun Chengzong said is the truth.

In ancient times, when productivity was low, the vast majority of the people and peasant households did not have any knowledge, and in some places, they may be separated by a township or a county, and each other's languages are not understood, but what is truly unified is actually writing.

Who is the one who has the words?

Ordinary people can't walk out of a radius of fifty miles in their lives, and they stare at that one-third of an acre of land from birth to death, so to speak...... In their eyes, those gentry are the real emperors, and the emperors of the Ming Dynasty are too far away from them, whether it is the Song Dynasty ruling them, or the Ming Dynasty, or even the Meng Yuan, in fact, there is no difference between ordinary people.

And in this world, the people who really identify with unification, and often move, and are closer to the imperial court, are precisely scholars!

It is precisely because of the existence of scholars that the local 'heroes' in the north and south of the world can continue to communicate, they have the theoretical basis for unification, the strength to control the local people, the ability to master the written language, and the willingness to participate in the imperial examination at any time, be recruited by the imperial court, and maintain the rule of the imperial court.

Once these people are lost, then the Ming ...... Can it still be sustained? Who still has the will to maintain unity? Can you control any corner of the world?

As soon as Zhang Jing heard this, he said: "Sun Gong's worries are not unreasonable, this is also what His Majesty and I were worried about at the beginning, but now...... I don't have any worries anymore. These gentry can rule the world with the royal family through hundreds of jinshi, thousands of people, and 100,000 talents, then I, Zhang Jingyi, can also rely on tens of thousands of students and countless scribes to rule with Your Majesty! ”

Sun Chengzong shook his head, feeling that Zhang Jingyi's words were a little complacent.

"It's too risky." Sun Chengzong said bitterly: "Once there is anything wrong, it will be a catastrophe!" ”

Zhang Jing's eyes flashed with determination, and said: "Now, even if the catastrophe is not recovered, we must fight hard." ”

If you don't know history, if you don't have two lives, Zhang Jingyi will compromise, because the power of tradition and these people is too strong, so strong that even if you change the dynasty, you must ultimately respect their traditions and safeguard their interests.

But it is precisely the two lives of human beings that make Zhang Jingyi deeply aware that the world is changing, and the world is also changing in the depths of the ocean outside the Ming Dynasty.

So......... What needs to be done now is to change the ruling stratum and completely strangle these strata that have long been rotten to the roots.

Sun Chengzong looked at the person in front of him with blazing eyes. From this young man, he saw an indescribable spirit, perhaps this is heroism.

But...... Sun Chengzong regretted it, because ...... What he understands very well is that heroes throughout the ages have a tragic fate in the end, and those who try to change and fight often end up with no bones.

Even if Zhang Jingyi is now, he is in power for a while!

Sun Chengzong said: "Your words are too complacent. ”

Zhang Jingyi said very calmly: "There is no complacency, just because ...... I still have one more thing. ”

"What is it?"

Zhang Jingyi said confidently: "A real weapon that changes the world." ”

Sun Chengzong couldn't help laughing: "Change the world? ”

He looked at Zhang Jingyi, obviously distrustful in his eyes.

Zhang Jing said: "Just ask Sun Gong, wait and see, when the time comes...... When you and I meet again, maybe I'll find out. ”

Sun Chengzong didn't say anything more, in fact, when it came to this, he had already understood Zhang Jingyi's determination, and it became useless to talk about it at this time, so he had to say: "Your Highness...... Treasure. ”

Zhang Jingyi also returned the salute: "Sun Gong...... In the future, it is better to work and rest on time, and don't always hide your thoughts. ”

Sun Chengzong smiled bitterly: "The old man will." ”

The two said goodbye.

Beizhen Fusi, but he is already busy.

Now there are too many things to be busy with, and the court has issued an order, so the exile of these rebellious and corrupt officials has become a top priority.

However, the great migration of so many people, and ensuring that everyone can be sent to Liaodong, is by no means a trivial matter.

Therefore, almost everyone in the North and South Zhenfu Division is busy with their feet not touching the ground.

Zhang Jingyi obviously felt tremendous pressure in the process.

Because of the battle in Jiangnan, it can be regarded as a real death sentence for the gentry.

In fact, this can also be understood, the scholars are completely disheartened with the imperial court.

In all dynasties, in order to entrap these people, whether it is the Jiupin Zhongzheng system or the imperial examination system, they actually have a strong political purpose, that is, to recruit these people into the court as officials, in order to use them to maintain the rule of the dynasty.

As Sun Chengzong said, what really maintains the unity of the world is precisely the local emperors in these states and counties, except for the scholars, almost the vast majority of people are actually separated.

Therefore...... Many terrible reports have been heard.

One of the reports came from Guiyang, where there were people who made trouble, but they were just people who made trouble...... But it's not just the traditional sense of the rogue, it's actually a local scholar, he raised his arms, and actually recruited thousands of people, attacked the county seat, and the local county order turned out to be a thief, followed by ...... This gang of thieves has the potential to spark the prairie fire.

On the other hand, it seems that there are also people on the Liukou side who see the opportunity.

Chuang general Li Zicheng, the soldiers pointed directly at Hankou and Wuchang, at this time, in addition to the king Gao Yingxiang, as well as Zhang Xianzhong, it is the largest general Li Zicheng, he seems to have seized the opportunity, crossed the Yellow River first, abandoned Guanzhong, all the way south, its purpose is ...... It seems to have the meaning of crossing the river.

Of course...... The imperial court had no way to recruit the general Li Zicheng.

It is because Li Zicheng agreed with Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong and others that he divided his troops to the three towns of Wuhan, and Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, led the crowd to attack Nanzhili, and the goal was Fengyang.

Fengyang is the land of Longxing, is the emperor's hometown, after getting this situation, almost all the Ming army, are crazy to pounce on Nanzhili, but let that Li Zicheng, all the way to attack, is unhindered, seeing that the three towns of Wuhan are about to change hands.

Of course...... In the past few years, there have been dozens of rogue bandits, some of which were swallowed up by other bandits, and some of them were exterminated by the imperial court.

They were wandering around, and the court wanted to exterminate them, but as soon as the officers and soldiers arrived, they had already swept away.

At this time...... A report completely made the court aware of it...... The terrible thing about Li Zicheng.

Zhang Jing looked at the latest report and immediately went to see the driver.

Emperor Apocalypse didn't expect that Jinyiwei's recital would be the first to be delivered, he was busy taking it, and when he saw it, he immediately frowned: "What does Zhang Qing think about this?" ”

Zhang Jing said: "This is no longer an ordinary rogue, it has really become a problem in my Ming's heart." ”

Zhang Jingyi replied honestly.

"Your Majesty, this is in the midst of this...... If what is played is true, then Li Zicheng already has the mind to really compete with my Daming for a long time. ”
