506 Ming National Policy (2-in-1)
"There is a book to ask the Secretary of General Affairs to transfer it to the celebrant and wait for the court meeting to play again."
Hearing that Shen Yichen was going to play the sparse chapter, Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu's tone gradually became a little impatient.
Originally, his body was a little unbearable, and he completely relied on the effect of the pill and a strong will, not wanting to damage the majesty of the emperor in front of the hundred officials of the court. In addition, the two major events of waste and easy storage followed, how could he have the energy to deal with Shen Yichen's trivial matters, just the master of ceremonies and eunuchs to seal the eunuch Xing'an.
Shen Yichen originally wanted to wait for the Shuori Dynasty on the first day of the second lunar month, but who would have thought that Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu would "disappear" inexplicably, and cancel the court meetings one after another for nearly a month, and when Li Da and others had already returned to Beijing from Liaodong, the military merit silver of the soldiers and soldiers still had not been obtained.
The arrival of the Liaodong Army in Beijing meant that the "Jing Cao" in the Ming Dynasty's squad army system began to officially enter operation, and the guards outside would take turns to enter the Beijing Division or the Gyeonggi area to guard.
The soldiers and horses of the Hedaban barracks, the Datongbian barracks, the Baoding Ban barracks, and so on will soon come to the Beijing garrison, and the soldiers of Fujian and Shandong must leave the camp to make room, otherwise the soldiers and horses of the Beijing division will be overcrowded.
The soldiers of the local guard station can't get any money in Beijing, and now that they are gone, they still think that the imperial court will issue military merit silver, which is almost like a pipe dream. Shen Yichen didn't know when Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu would hold the Wangshuo Dynasty Meeting, and he had no time to continue waiting.
Although it is not a court meeting today, but hundreds of civil and military officials gather in the Wenhua Palace, and the scale and influence are no less than those of the Dachang Dynasty, this is the best time to announce the "Theory of the Disadvantages of the Sect and Domain"!
"What the minister wants to be sparse is the "Theory of the Evils of the Sect and the Domain", which must be presented to His Majesty's Imperial Review!"
Sectarian disadvantages?
Hearing the name of these four words, Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu was overjoyed at first, but soon felt that something was wrong in his heart. After the abolition, there has been a lot of controversy in the government and the opposition, if it weren't for Wang Zhi and Hu Hu standing up to express their position, I'm afraid that Yanguan Qingliu would not be so good at giving up.
When the edict is passed on to the princes of each clan, it will inevitably cause a greater wave of opposition, especially King Xiang will seize this opportunity to move out of the ancestral law, so that Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu will fall into the disadvantage of public opinion, and lose his political prestige to protect the capital division in danger.
Shen Yichen pointed the spearhead directly at the sect at this time, which will definitely attract most of the firepower from the outside world, and the pressure from all parties brought by the smooth and excessive abolition perfectly shows the value of the sharp blade in the emperor's hand, which is why Zhu Qiyu will feel happy.
But when he came back to his senses, he smelled a hint of unusual breath from Shen Yichen's "Theory of the Disadvantages of the Sect". If you just want to recover more than 400,000 taels of military merit silver, as for using such a sensational word?
Obviously, the content that Shen Yichen wants to go up is not only limited to the scope of military merit, so he wants to use the topic to play something, and where is the boundary between the scope and depth of the disadvantages pointed out?
In other ordinary moments, this kind of sensitive music, Zhu Qiyu will definitely read it privately to minimize the scope of influence. But he urgently needs someone to share the "firepower" now, so that the two things of scrapping and easy storage can go smoothly, and there will be no extraneous branches.
So after thinking for a while, he finally nodded and said, "Wang Cheng, bring Shen Qing's concerto." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Wang Cheng bowed down to receive the order, and then came to Shen Yichen to take over the recital, and when the two looked at each other, they secretly nodded with admiration on their faces.
He didn't have the knowledge of Wang Zhen and Cheng Jing back then, and he didn't realize the influence of the four characters of "The Theory of Disadvantages of the Sect and Domain" at all, and thought that it was Shen Yichen's critical moment to stand up to help the emperor block the gun, which was a proper loyal minister!
Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu took Shen Yichen's piece from Wang Cheng's hand, and looked at the opening chapter with a vigilant attitude, which read, "With the corpse of Taikang, there are five brothers, so that they can build a Maotu ......"
Seeing these contents, the solemn expression on Zhu Qiyu's face was obviously much soothed, and he was really worried that with Shen Yichen's style of acting, he would make a big event with sharp words, but now it seems that the title is just a bit eye-catching, and the content is still the old-fashioned idea of "clan harmony".
It seems that this kid has also learned to protect himself, and he doesn't dare to offend the clan king of the Ming Dynasty too much in order to ask for military merit silver, so he will pick up some good words.
But just when Zhu Qiyu had just lowered his vigilance to review the chapter, Shen Yichen, who was standing under His Royal Highness, opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, there has been no one who treats the loss of the sect. Those who are mediocre and give up relatives, who are detained inside and outside relatives, are not allowed to be officials, but are confined to the national city, and are detained if they are not guilty. ”
Shen Yichen's voice fell, and there was an uproar inside and outside the Wenhua Palace, and the officials present thought that he was the maximum, but he made a lot of nonsense like he had done at the celebration banquet before, and said some offensive words in order to ask for military merit silver.
As a result, who would have thought that Shen Yichen's spearhead was directly aimed at the law of the ancestors, which negated the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty from the root!
Zhu Qiyu, who was standing on the imperial platform at this moment, was still looking at Shen Yichen's opening of "first raising and then suppressing", and was a little careless about his words, thinking that it was some supplement to the harmony of the Zhangzhang clan.
But after listening to it, he was far more shocked than the ministers, because what Shen Yichen said and what he saw in the book couldn't be beaten. It was only when Zhu Qiyu slowly raised his head and looked at Shen Yichen again, and the corner of his eye happened to see the second volume of the chapter, and at this moment he understood what it meant to be a poor dagger.
Shen Yichen wrote a completely different piece of music before and after, so that he was completely unaware of the seriousness and stopped it in advance!
"Your Majesty, you have been trapped in Guocheng for a long time, so that most of the clansmen are drowning in wealth and nobility, arrogant, and ignorant of etiquette."
And occupy a large number of fiefdoms and official fields, resulting in a sharp drop in the tax revenue of the imperial court. In addition, the hereditary replacement system has been divided, and the number of clans has increased dramatically, and after a hundred years, the Ming Dynasty will have no land to seal, and the people will have no land to cultivate! ”
"The minister risked his life to advise His Majesty that from now on, the clan will be reduced, and the restrictions on the general of Zhenguo and the following clansmen will be lifted, and the imperial examination will be accepted and the four people will be involved. In addition, the tax of the royal palace and the field is levied, and the prince is demoted from the beginning to the lord! ”
If Shen Yichen's attack on the ancestral system in front of him has shocked the civil and military officials, then when the various restrictive measures came out later, it was like a thunderbolt that exploded in the Wenhua Palace.
From the emperor to the ministers, they all looked at Shen Yichen blankly, and they couldn't believe their ears.
Is Shen Yichen crazy, is it to ask for more than 400,000 taels of military merit silver, or to dig the foundation of the Zhu family?
"Shen Zhongtang is far-sighted, he has seen the root cause of the disadvantages of the clan, and he has solved the worries of the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years, and the minister seconded it!"
Even if you know that after this recital is sparse, it will cause great controversy, and even lead to death. After Shen Yichen finished speaking, Shang Zhen stood up from the team without hesitation, and expressed his support to Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu.
Since seeing Shen Yichen's recital that day, with a scholarly atmosphere, it has been nearly a month, and the merchant has been thinking about the "harm" brought by the clan to the world and the people almost every moment.
The more he thought about it, the more he admired Shen Yichen's foresight, according to this trend, it would only take a few generations to develop, and half of the fertile land in the mountains and rivers would be reduced to the private land of the palace, and the tax revenue of the imperial court would plummet.
If you count the tax-free and attached land property of the sergeant, he can't believe that if there is another foreign invasion, the imperial court will not be able to pay even the most basic military salary, let alone any military merit silver and additional salary.
Before the clan became a harm to the Ming Dynasty, it was restricted and restrained in advance, which can be said to be a merit in the present and a benefit for the future.
"On the Disadvantages of the Sect and Domain" is full of words, proverbs, and paragraphs, which can be the national policy of the Ming Dynasty!
The second proposal of the merchant seemed to wake up everyone in the court, and all kinds of voices exploded in the Wenhua Palace.
"Is Shen Ge old man crazy, and he dares to say this kind of words that directly point to the clan, and he is not afraid to be beheaded according to the "Emperor Ming Ancestral Teachings"?"
"You can't touch such a thing, maybe it's playing with fire and self-immolation."
"For hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, Shen Yichen As for the disadvantages of the entire sect, how many heads does he have to offend the Ming clan?"
"As soon as this omission comes out, I'm afraid Your Majesty won't be able to protect him."
It may be that this matter is too important, and the hundreds of officials in the palace are almost undisguised discussions, completely ignoring the supervision of the imperial history present. These words also reached Shen Yichen's ears, and he just laughed at these cynical words.
For a long time, Shen Yichen's passion, arrogance, heroism, anger and other emotions have been more vented in the battlefield of Jin Ge Iron Horse. From the perspective of the civil and military officials in the center of the imperial court, he is more like a young and sleek official, starting from the initial sycophant Wang Zhen, then hugging the thigh of Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, and finally decisively jumping back to support the new monarch.
This step by step, this son has shown his power and interests to the extreme, so that he will not hesitate to bear the notoriety of killing the monarch in order to take the throne.
】
If it weren't for the great military exploits brought by the border pass out of the town, I am afraid that Shen Yichen would have already gained notoriety, and his personal image would have developed in two extreme directions in the officialdom and the mouths of the people.
But this time, Shen Yichen did not mention the three-foot sword, and only relied on the pen of the literati, which also showed earth-shattering power. And this time, it is not mixed with the slightest personal interest, it is completely from the perspective of Jiangshan Sheji, and there is a momentum of breaking the kettle to criticize the theory of the clan.
Reading the books of sages and becoming the leader of the Ming Dynasty, what you have to do is never to be a corrupt Confucian, holding on to those etiquette dogmas. Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations.
is a scholar, and he should really use what he has learned all his life to do!
After Shen Yichen came to this world, he chose to follow the general trend of history many times and did not set off any magnificent changes. The reason is that he knows very well in his heart that a husband cannot be without power for a day, and if he wants to change the trend of history, he must stand at the peak of power, otherwise he is looking for death.
The power is like the king of the Song Dynasty, An Shi, who changed the law, and Zhang Juzheng of the Ming Dynasty reformed, even if he stood in the position of Zai Fu to change, it was still difficult.
How is it different from a joke to change the world by talking about changing the world?
But now he can finally take his first step, even if he is still inevitably ridiculed by hundreds of officials in the court, but Shen Yichen can at least be calm, except for the emperor, few people dare to scold him in person, which is the change brought about by power!
Just when the hall was full of hustle and bustle, another scarlet-robed officer stood up and said in a righteous and heroic tone: "In recent years, natural disasters and wars have continued in the Ming Dynasty, and the evils of the clan have become more and more severe, and the people are miserable under the harsh taxes. ”
"Shen Zhongtang's negligence hits the key point, and the panicked words are deafening, and I hope that Your Majesty will focus on the society of the country and the people of the world, and the disadvantages of the reform clan will bless the prosperity of all generations!"
On the premise that he and Shen Yichen did not discuss and communicate with Shen Yichen in advance, he was willing to stand up and support the "Theory of the Evils of the Sect and Domain" only with a public heart and righteousness, and only one person in the Manchu Dynasty could do it, and he was Yu Qian!
Yu Qian has been out of the town for nearly 20 years, and it is also Shanxi, Henan and other clans are divided into important places, and few people in the court and the opposition know better than him when it comes to the harm of the vassal king to the people.
To be honest, Yu Qian has long been aware of the problem, but due to the limitations of the times, he can't do it like Shen Yichen, trace the source of the evils of the sect, and find a solution.
As soon as "The Theory of the Disadvantages of the Sect and the Domain" came out, Yu Qian was simply "shocked", and he seemed to see a way to save the country and the people. Yi Chu is limited to the inheritance of royal power, Yu Qian can choose to be silent, but he must speak for the world and make a life for the common people!
"Mencius has clouds, it is not difficult to govern, and you must not offend the giant room. Shen Ge Lao is willing to offend the emperor's relatives for the sake of the disadvantages of reforming the clan in the world, this righteousness and courage make the officials admire, and it shows the cowardice of the villain! ”
"The minister is willing to follow Shen Zhongtang's advice and not regret it!"
Another official stood out of the queue, he was Xiao Yi, who served as the right general secretary of the General Administration.
For a long time, Shen Yichen almost did not let Xiao Yi and others stand in line with the controversy in the court, the reason is that they do not want to expose their "friends", and second, they are in the rising period of their careers, and they are easily suppressed by the old civil official group in the court.
But this time, Xiao Yi couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, because Shen Yichen's superiority was a perfect interpretation of the literati's loyalty to their family and country and their commitment to morality.
After so many years, he is still the same Shen Yichen that he admires!
"Shen Zhongtang admonishes the community, asks for the life of the people, and the minister seconds it!"
A loud voice came from the end of the civil official team, the first year of Jingtai, the current Hanlin Academy revised Peng Shi stood up, resolutely gambled on his future career, and expressed his support for Shen Yichen.
"The minister seconded the proposal, please reform the shortcomings of the clan with Your Majesty!"
When He heard this, he also stood up with excitement on his face, he regarded Shen Yichen as his belief in his heart. Now this letter seems to have brought him back to the West Lake Yaji, and Shen Yichen said the scene of the way of the saint.
Words are better than deeds, to preach the way, once this letter is successful, it will save all the people in the world!
