"That's nonsense." Gao Hongtu is really unceremonious to speak, "The equal emphasis on civil and military affairs will inevitably lead to the division of feudal towns and even the usurpation of power by military ministers, the rise of the heroes in the late Han Dynasty, the division of feudal towns in the late Tang Dynasty, and the frequent regime changes in the Southern Dynasties and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms periods, is it not enough to explain the problem?" ”

"What about regime change?" Chongzhen asked rhetorically, "Does it endanger Huaxia's clothes?" Did you destroy the Confucian temple? ”

"This ......" Gao Hong Tuton was speechless in time, because whether it was the Song Qi Liang Chen during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, or the Later Liang, Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han and Later Zhou during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, all of them continued the Chinese clothes and crowns, and did not destroy the Confucian temples, but after the death of the Song Dynasty, Meng Yuan entered the Central Plains, and the Chinese clothes and crowns were completely destroyed.

Chongzhen continued: "For a dynasty with a surname, the secession of feudal towns or the usurpation of power by military ministers is naturally a big disaster, but for Huaxia Yiguan, the harm of using literature to control military force is even higher than the secession of feudal towns or the usurpation of power by military ministers, because the military ministers in power can at least allow the Central Plains Dynasty to maintain its military superiority over the surrounding barbarians. ”

Gao Hongtu said with a dark face: "According to what the saint said, is it wrong to wait for Bao Daming?" ”

"I didn't say you did." Chongzhen said, "I just want to say that whether it is equal emphasis on civil and military, using literature to control martial arts, or using martial arts to control literature, these are all not problems. ”

Gao Hongtu said: "So what is the problem? ”

Chongzhen said: "The problem lies in the distribution of resources or interests, and if the problem of imbalance in the distribution of resources or interests cannot be solved, no matter which national policy is adopted, it will inevitably fail." ”

Gao Hongtu frowned and said, "Resource or benefit distribution? ”

"I'll just say it bluntly, it's land allocation." Chongzhen said, "If you can't solve the chronic problem of land distribution and can't suppress land annexation, let alone use literature to control force, even if you Wenchen become a god of war like Li Jing, you won't be able to save the Great Song Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, because the increasingly serious land annexation will one day drag down the finances of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Gao Hongtu fell silent when he heard this.

This is how the finances of the Ming Dynasty were dragged down.

This is something that he can't deny even if he has a high profile.

After a pause, Chongzhen said again: "Gao Hongtu, I told you this, just to expose you, you civil officials and doctors are not saints, what kind of Chinese clothes and Confucian temples, these are just your excuses, what you really care about is actually only the cabinet in power, that is, the power or interests in your hands." ”

Gao Hongtu's face sank, and he immediately wanted to refute, but Chongzhen stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Don't be in a hurry to refute first, listen to me finish talking first." Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "Gao Hongtu, I didn't have any prejudices against you at first. ”

"On the contrary, I still admire you, because you are honest and self-controlled, and you have ability."

"I don't have any dislike for your Donglin Party, at least you still have Daming in your heart."

"So the last time I returned to Nanjing, I didn't have too many disputes with you."

"Your Donglin Party wants to completely control the cabinet, and I also rely on you, and the four auxiliary ministers are all members of the Donglin Party."

"I don't have high requirements for you, and I don't want you to do anything, as long as you Donglin Party abide by your duties and do your own thing, I will never touch you easily."

"But you Donglin Party is unwilling."

"You Donglin Party have to take away my internal affairs office, and even have to put me to death."

"These practices of your Donglin Party really make me disagree, and it is even more difficult to tolerate."

"If you are allowed to control the government and continue to act mischiefly, Shenzhou will sink again and Huaxia will lose its clothes again, which will definitely be an inevitable result."

Speaking of this, Chongzhen said again: "So I can only uproot the Donglin Party." ”

At this point, Chongzhen also showed his fangs, Gao Hongtu had expected this, so he was not very surprised.

"Alarmist." Gao Hongtu was even in the mood to refute, "The sinking of Shenzhou and the loss of clothes only happened once in the late Song Dynasty, not to mention that this is not caused by the co-rule of scholars and doctors." ”

"What's more, the mere Jiannu and the powerful Meng Yuan are also completely incomprehensible."

Speaking of this, Gao Hongtu said: "The situation at the end of the Song Dynasty will not happen again." ”

"Having said so much, Gao Hongtu, you still can't see the essence of the problem?" Chongzhen said in a deep voice, "I just said that if we don't solve the problem of land annexation, it will inevitably lead to the collapse of finances, and the collapse of finances will inevitably lead to the collapse of a dynasty. ”

"Pay equal attention to civil and military, even if the dynasty falls, it will never be ruined and the temple will be destroyed."

"Because the usurping military ministers and the feudal towns in the secession areas will not want to be clothed and crowned."

"But once the use of literature to control force is adopted, once the force suppression of the surrounding barbarians is lost, it will really lead to the loss of Huaxia's clothes and the destruction of the temple!" Speaking of this, Chongzhen said again: "Those barbarians don't care about Huaxia's clothes, but only about their money rat tail and bald hair. ”

"What can you do to see the essence of the problem?"

Gao Hongtu seemed a little annoyed and ashamed: "The old man admits that the Donglin Party can't solve the problem of land annexation, but you can solve the problem of land annexation?" Fabricate charges and forcibly confiscate the land and property of the noble officials and gentry, and then sell it? A hundred years later, there will be another unruly emperor who does not follow the rules, and do it all over again according to your method? ”

Chongzhen smiled when he heard this and said, "Gao Hongtu, are you very worried that I will also be in the south of the Yangtze River?" ”

"Isn't that true?" Gao Hongtu smiled and said, "After all the acres in the north, it is time to reduce it to half of the acres in the south of the Yangtze River, and you don't need to deny it." ”

"But the minister might as well stack the words here, you can't even get the fields in the south of the Yangtze River."

"Unless you can kill all the Donglin Party members, all the civil and military officials in the court, and then all the tens of millions of Li Shu people in Jiangnan, you don't want to be able to Juntian in Jiangnan."

Chongzhen shook his head and said, "If I tell you that I never planned to be in Jiangnan Juntian, do you believe it?" ”

Gao Hongtu said suddenly: "Shengshang, don't think of others as stupid, you are not the only smart person in this world, what kind of money do you get in the field?" And what to use to recruit troops? ”

"Gao Hongtu, you know very well in your heart that you will definitely not survive this time."

After a pause, Chongzhen said again: "So I don't need to lie to you, I only plan to have acres of land north of the Yellow River, and I have never thought of acres of land in the south half of the Yangtze River." ”

Gao Hongtu looked at Chongzhen very seriously, as if he was distinguishing whether his words were true or false.

Chongzhen said: "The annexation of land to the emperors of all dynasties is a great problem, but for me it is a great help, his arsenic, my honey, only I have a way to turn this problem into help." ”

"Don't be ashamed." Gao Hongtu said suddenly, "How many problems that the sages can't solve, can you solve them?" ”

When he said this, Gao Hongtu couldn't help but have a thought in his heart, Coal Mountain Enlightenment! If Coal Mountain's enlightenment is true, maybe the Holy One will really have a way?

"You don't believe it? Then I'll tell you about it, anyway, there is time. ”

Chongzhen smiled and said: "Gao Hongtu, the Ming Dynasty will soon evolve from an agricultural civilization to an industrial civilization, and tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of factories and workshops will spring up in the south of the Yangtze River, and so many factories and workshops will need tens of millions of workers. ”

Speaking of which, Chongzhen told Gao Hongtu about the prospects of the industrial revolution.

He continued: "If there were no land annexation, there would not be so many landless peasants, and if there were no landless peasants, there would not be so many workers available. ”

Gao Hongtu was dumbfounded.

Hundreds of thousands of factories and workshops?

Tens of millions of landless peasants turned into workers?

An iron car that can travel hundreds of miles a day just by burning charcoal?

An ironclad battleship that sails on the seas without sails?

Holy Lord, I'm afraid your brain is burned out, right?

Where do you get so many bizarre and jubberish ideas?

Chongzhen shook his head and said, "It's a pity, you can't see such a prosperous world." ”

Hearing this, Gao Hongtu suddenly reacted, this was just Chongzhen's heart-attacking strategy.

"In this way, the old minister can probably guess your intentions." Gao Hongtu smiled and said, "If the saint expects to say some unbelievable things and words, let the old minister take the initiative to confess, but it is wishful thinking, impossible!" The old minister's mind is as solid as a rock, and he will never waver in the slightest. ”

Gao Hongtu just regarded it as nonsense made up by Chongzhen.

Gao Hongtu's reaction was already expected by Chongzhen.

At that moment, Chongzhen smiled and said, "I didn't want you to take the initiative to confess. ”

Hearing this, Gao Hongtu's heart suddenly chuckled, and his heart was broken.

Sure enough, Chongzhen smiled and said, "What I want is for your three proud protégés to take the initiative to confess, as long as they admit their guilt, it is equivalent to Gao Hongtu confessing your guilt, isn't it?" ”

"The Holy One is really a good plan." Gao Hongtu calmed himself and said, "However, this is useless, Yuan Pengnian and the three of them are as tough as the old man, and it is impossible for them to take the initiative to admit their guilt." ”

"Oh, really? So let's wait and see. Chongzhen smiled.

After speaking, Chongzhen picked up the wooden oar and rowed back, and Gao Hongtu thought about it and followed the wooden oar.

After rowing for nearly half an hour, he finally rowed back to the shore, and when Gao Hongtu looked at it, he found that there were three more familiar faces in the crowd on the shore, who were not his three proud protégés?

I saw Yuan Pengnian, Liu Zhengzong, and Li Jinglian all looking at him with suspicious eyes.

Teacher! Gao Hongtu's ears seemed to be able to hear the questions of the three protégés, what did you and the saint talk about in the lake? It's been chatting for so long, it's been almost three and a half hours!

Gao Hongtu wanted to say it, so he talked about their respective ideas, but he couldn't speak out.

You can't tell the three protégés in front of everyone, the old man didn't say anything, and the three of you think about it blindly, in this case, wouldn't it be that there are no three hundred taels of silver here, and you don't recruit yourself?

I can only wait for the opportunity to meet in private.

But at this time, Chongzhen will not give them another chance to meet in private.

"Xu Yingwei, send Gao Ge Lao home!" Chongzhen instructed, "During this time, there is some chaos in Nanjing City, you must ensure the personal safety of Gao Ge Lao, and you must not make mistakes." ”

"Student Command." Xu Yingwei agreed with a bang.

Then he shook his hand to Gao Hongtu and said, "Elder Gao Ge, please get in the car." ”

Gao Hongtu could only glance at his three protégés with a gloomy gaze, and then lowered his head and got into the carriage.

Liu Zhengzong and Li Jinglian were soon sent away by the prince of Qin, and only Yuan Pengnian was taken to the imperial chariot and returned to the city in the same car with Chongzhen's father and son.

Zhu Cijiong pressed the hilt of the knife on his waist and stared at Yuan Pengnian vigilantly.

Although Zhu Cijiong is only fifteen years old this year, he began to run around frantically in the spring of this year, and now his size has grown to the position of Chongzhen's ears.

And this kid looks more solid than Zhu Cihong.

So sitting there on your knees with the hilt of the knife is still quite intimidating.

But in fact, his worries were completely unnecessary, Yuan Pengnian was wearing shackles.

"Yuan Pengnian, you must be curious to know what I and Gao Hongtu said in the lake, right?" Chongzhen smiled faintly and said, "It's nothing to tell you, we just talked about our respective concepts." ”

"Gao Hongtu told me the reason for killing the king, and I also told him why I wanted to eradicate the Donglin Party."

After a pause, Chongzhen said again: "Because there is no one else within a radius of a few hundred steps, only the two of us, we have no reservations and say everything we want to say." ”

"The saint is hinting at Yu Chen, so that the minister admits that he is related to the murder of the monarch and the rebellion case?"

Yuan Pengnian smiled and said: "If this is the case, the minister still doesn't have to bother to persuade the saint, no matter at any time, the minister only has one sentence, the minister did not participate in the murder of the monarch, no is no." ”

"Chen and Du Hongyu do know each other, but they are just acquaintances."

"Why did Du Hongyu kill the monarch and rebel, the minister really didn't know, and he had nothing to do with the minister."

"Of course, if the saint has to bend to the minister because he and Du Hongyu know each other, and put the charge of killing the monarch and rebelling on the minister's head, the minister can't help it."

After a pause, he said: "After all, the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die." ”

"Yuan Pengnian!" Zhu Cijiong was furious, "I advise you not to be too arrogant." ”

"His Royal Highness King Ding, please calm the wrath of thunder." Yuan Pengnian said, "The minister just told the truth. ”

"What a sharp mouth, no wonder Gao Hongtu values you so much." Chongzhen smiled and said, "However, if you think that you have controlled the public opinion of Shilin and the public opinion of Jiangnan, so I will do nothing about you, then it is very wrong. ”

"The Holy One is serious." Yuan Pengnian said, "How can our Donglin Party be able to manipulate Shilin Qingyi and public opinion? ”

Speaking of this, Yuan Pengnian continued to say solemnly: "In addition, the minister also wants to sincerely advise the saint, justice is in the hearts of the people, and the eyes of the people in Jiangnan are bright!" ”
