Liu Yumo had already lost too much blood, and in a hurry, he was so angry that he vomited blood, so he fainted directly at once.

After Liu Yumo woke up again, it was almost dusk, and under the sunset, Tianqi was still sitting in front of him, and Zhang Gui was standing next to him.

At this time, Apocalypse asked him again, "Tell me, what is the situation?" ”

Liu Yumo said: "That's right, the minister did frame Xia Yunyi, the reason is needless to say, he is the pioneer of the reform, who in the world does not hate him to the core?" Now, wouldn't it be better if you could bite him up, and by the way, let there be disagreements among the officials who support the reform, and even let Your Majesty take the initiative to suppress some officials in the reform, so that the reformers who support the reform will split internally? ”

"You're cunning! I almost deceived me again. ”

Apocalypse gritted his teeth and said.

Zhang Gui said: "Your Majesty doesn't have to be angry about this! He could only think of this because he was a close minister of the Imperial Front, and he knew better what disagreements there were within the Fa-Changing faction. Xia Yunyi and others did want to directly Juntian, while the ministers and Zhu Gebu and others thought that they should first try to shift their internal worries outward, and these differences did exist, and he just took advantage of this. ”

As Zhang Gui said, the current Daming Reform School has indeed begun to breed disagreements.

This is quite normal.

Although for the Ming officials who supported the reformers, the goal was the same, they all wanted to enrich the country, strengthen the army and the people, but in terms of specific policies, there would be left and right.

Some hope to be a little more radical, once and for all, advocating the storm of radical reform that has been the same for 20 years.

Some hope to be a little more relaxed, step by step.

Like Wang Anshi's reform of the Northern Song Dynasty, there are places where there are differences in views among the New Party officials on the specific content of the reform.

For example, the Seedlings Method.

Although New Party officials agreed to implement it, some officials felt that the Seedlings Law could be implemented but that it would not be possible to charge interest to farmers who borrowed money from the Seedlings.

Others feel that interest should be charged so that the country can become rich.

And because of these differences, Su Zhe, who first entered the circle of the New Party's reform of the law, had to withdraw for this reason.

Now such disagreements have indeed begun to appear among the officials of the Ming Dynasty.

Elites like Tianqi and Zhang Gui pursued the New Deal because they wanted to solve a possible crisis of governance.

Therefore, he is not in a hurry to use the storm to innovate and eliminate the disadvantages, that is, to directly equalize the fields of the world, but to think about the internal worries to the outside first, and weave the prosperous picture of Zhongxing step by step by threading the needle.

However, Xia Yunyi, the officials who implemented the new policy in the reform of the law, because most of the scholars from poor families were born and witnessed the crimes of the gentry, and they knew better how much blood the gentry owed to the people, so they not only wanted to solve the crisis of the dynasty, but also the idea of liquidation and revenge, hoping to completely eliminate the gentry in the world.

This disagreement did begin to emerge, but Zhang Gui believed that it had not yet risen to the point of using a conspiracy to get rid of the emperor.

After all, neither he nor Tianqi directly said that the field of the world was wrong.

And this is indeed the case, the so-called Xia Yunyi killing the monarch is just a conspiracy made up by Liu Yumo.

But Zhang Gui also had to admit that this Liu Yumo was indeed powerful, not only lurking in the Martial Arts Academy, but also after many ideological and quality assessments, he would even grasp the weaknesses within his own law reform faction, and almost succeeded in provoking the struggle and split within the law reform department.

"You're right."

Apocalypse nodded.

Liu Yumo sighed here and said, "I didn't plan to let Your Majesty fall into the water, but there was no other way." Who wants to kill the king unless it is absolutely necessary. Your Majesty, shouldn't you reflect on yourself? ”

"What do I have to reflect on, if it is really because you fall into the water and die, it is better than being the king of the dead country."

Tianqi looked at the sunset in the sky, and then said: "After all, even if I fall into the water, future generations may still be able to see the sun rise again on the land of Daming." ”

Liu Yumo smiled bitterly.

Apocalypse asked, "What was the original purpose of your admission to my Martial Arts Academy, and after many assessments, to enter my Praetorian Guard Camp?" ”

Liu Yumo replied: "It's okay to tell Your Majesty. Originally, we wanted to find out why the students who graduated from the Martial Arts Academy were able to defeat the Jiannu, and why they were able to maintain a high level of loyalty and discipline, so we also wanted to train our own private soldiers in the way of the Martial Arts Academy, but unfortunately we later found out that we couldn't. ”

"Why can't you do it?"

Apocalypse asked.

Liu Yumo said: "In the Guards, even an ordinary soldier has the right to learn and participate in the discussion of court politics, the right to express loyalty to His Majesty, and the right to argue with scholars. This is not in line with the way of the Confucian sages that we admire, so that a soldier can be on an equal footing with a scholar, then such an army might as well not be established. ”

Apocalypse said: "I have allowed you to argue with me, the monarch, about national policies, and even you yourself hope that the monarch can spit on himself when his courtiers discuss national policies, and humbly accept advice, you are not willing to let ordinary soldiers have such rights, many of you scold me as a one-man thief, I see you as a one-man thief than me!" ”

Zhang Gui echoed: "This is called above the self, everyone is equal; Under the self, dignity and humility are orderly. ”

Tianqi nodded and laughed: "That's right, you people are thinking this way, did Uncle Zhang Guo say it wrong?" ”

"It's undeniable!"

"But just because we don't want to do that doesn't mean we can't penetrate. The minister is just one of the clans sent into the martial arts academy. ”

Liu Yumo replied.

Tianqi stood up, stared at Liu Yumo and said, "What are you talking about, you mean, there are still many people like you in the Guards?" ”

"Yes, the minister is just the better of these people, and he can have the opportunity to come to His Majesty's side as a close minister of the guard."

Liu Yumo said.

Apocalypse sank his face and looked at Zhang Gui.

Zhang Gui was busy comforting the apocalypse: "Your Majesty doesn't need to be too nervous, although people are separated from their bellies, there may indeed be spies in the Guards, but the minister believes that most of the Guards are still reliable, after all, individuals may hide their beliefs, but the entire class will never, otherwise, there is no need for these spies to hide up." ”

"What needs to be done now is to strengthen the rectification and strengthen internal supervision, but we must not overdo it and lead to internal rumors."

Apocalypse nodded.

"The minister is willing to expose which people are spies in the military academy and the guards for His Majesty, and I only ask Your Majesty to be lenient with the minister!"

Liu Yumo said suddenly.

Zhang Gui looked at Liu Yumo and said, "Can you still believe your words?" ”

Tianqi heard Zhang Gui ask this, and was like an empowerment: "Uncle Guo is right, can you still believe your words, you almost wronged Xia Yunyi." ”

Liu Yumo cried and said: "The minister doesn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, please believe in the minister, the minister is trying to survive, how dare you come nonsense again." ”

Tianqi looked at Zhang Gui: "Do you think he is credible?" ”

Zhang Guidao: "In the opinion of the minister, you can believe half or not believe half, give him a chance, say which people are spies, first lift the big eucalyptus, as for how to deal with it, then take one step at a time." ”

Tianqi nodded, and said to Liu Yumo: "You say! ”

Liu Yumo confessed.

Half a moment later, Tianqi glanced at the list, and felt shocked for a while, and couldn't help but say: "I have to go back to Beijing quickly!" ”

……

Capital

this day.

Ye Chengxue, who had just returned to Beijing, hurried to the mansion of Liu Ruozai, who had entered the Hanlin Academy as a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, because of the champion of Enke, and said to Liu Ruozai: "The letter from my nephew has been completed!" ”

With that, Ye Chengxue gave the letter to Liu Ruozai.

Liu Yumo is Liu Ruozai's nephew.

Therefore, Ye Chengxue called Liu Yumo "nephew" in front of Liu Ruozai.

Liu Ruozai was overjoyed when he heard this: "The assassination of Zhu Cishu was unsuccessful before, only Zhu Chang was assassinated, but now I didn't expect that Zhu Youxiao would succeed in falling into the water." ”

"But in this way, the crown prince will ascend the throne, and Zhang Gui will become the uncle of the son of heaven, and the power will be greater!"

Ye Cheng learned the Tao.

"Don't worry, I already have Austrian reinforcements in the palace and in the army. You can take advantage of the fact that before the uncle returns to Beijing, he will take the crown prince over, and let us civil officials control it, and design to kill the uncle, such as the example of Zhang Yong and Yang Xindu (Yang Tinghe) in addition to Jiang Bin. ”

Liu Ruozai replied with a smile.

Ye Chengxue's heart sank, thinking that you really still have the same party, so he asked, "Who is in the palace?" ”
