Chapter 45 Teacher-student conversation, years of layout
"I don't want to be enemies of the world, but the people of the world are against me."
Zhu Houzhao said lightly, with a murderous aura between his eyebrows: "They took too many things they shouldn't take, it's time to spit them out!" ”
"Isn't Your Majesty afraid of overkill and causing a mutiny?"
"Mutiny, haha......"
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing, the last thing he was afraid of in this world was mutiny.
The nine sides are under his control, as long as the nine sides are not chaotic, who can use the knife with him, is it the vassal king group, the Xungui group, the civil official group, or the gentry group in Jiangnan who can only talk nonsense?
Li Dongyang reacted suddenly, yes, other emperors may be afraid of mutiny, but Zhu Houzhao will never do it, mastering the nine-sided army is equivalent to mastering all the right to speak, whoever disobeys will be killed!
Only those who have soldiers can control the direction of the overall situation.
In fact, this invisible war was fought as early as the beginning, and the various power groups had no hope of winning.
"When did Your Majesty start the layout?"
Li Dongyang asked in disbelief.
"It started a long time ago!"
Zhu Houzhao looked a little embarrassed, it was not easy for him to come to this point!
At the beginning of his ascension, he was constrained everywhere, completely controlled the Jinyi Guard, the East and West Factories, and after taking some power from the three giants of the cabinet at that time, he had many plans, but without exception, all ended in failure.
He wanted to go to sea and engage in colonization or something, but as a result, the blueprints of the Daming treasure ship, the navigation information, and the information of overseas countries were all ruined by Liu Daxia, and the colonization plan ended without a hitch.
He wanted to delve into the way of things, study artillery, guns, and warships, but the result made him desperate, there were no professional technical personnel, no certain data parameters, he wanted to reach the sky in one step, it was a pipe dream, a lot of money was invested, but the harvest was a bunch of bullshit, and the artillery produced was either not up to standard, or it was blown up on a large scale.
He wanted to reform the army, but as a result, both the nobles and civilian officials were unanimously opposed, one was eating the benefits of the army, and the other did not want the military generals to stand up against them again, and the reform of the army was stillborn.
After failing again and again, Zhu Houzhao deeply understood that in this era, many of his ideas are not feasible, and if he wants to make a difference, he must change, and make a complete change of blood in the Ming Dynasty, so that he can realize his reign in the world.
That's why there is a layout over the years, defeating the grassland, attacking Fusang, suppressing the southwest Tusi, cleaning up the Jiangnan gentry and defeating the coastal giants on the grounds of King Ning's rebellion, all of which are preludes to the change of the law.
From the beginning of the change, he has succeeded most of the time, after several blows, the power is not as good as before, and the influence of the various forces that have been gradually suppressed by the officials of the Shaozhuang faction headed by Wang Yangming can no longer resist his will, even if he can make a fuss for a while, he can't withstand the crushing of the rolling trend.
As for why he didn't attack the three major battalions of the Beijing Division at the beginning, but chose the nine sides, the reason is also very simple, the three battalions are already rotten, even if they master it, how can a group of old soldiers become a big thing.
Second, to guard against the forces of all parties jumping over the wall in a hurry and colluding with foreign enemies to cause chaos, they will definitely do such things, only by mastering the nine sides and completely suppressing the foreign enemy, can he relax and change the law.
Mastering the nine sides is the top priority of his law change, and the whole process is only clear to Wang Yangming alone, and it is precisely for this reason that Wang Yangming leads the troops whether it is going to the grassland, attacking Fusang, or suppressing the southwest Tusi, and only Wang Yangming can help him control the nine sides in his hands.
Jiubian, Jinyiwei, East and West Factories, as well as the disciples who are placed as officials in various places and advocate the unity of knowledge and action, are the greatest confidence for him to dare to overthrow the political system left by Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di and change the law.
"Isn't Your Majesty afraid of a backlash?"
Li Dongyang asked again, he seemed to have forgotten the purpose of coming to see Zhu Houzhao, and just wanted to hear what kind of earth-shattering plan his student was brewing.
"I'm afraid ......"
Zhu Houzhao smiled meaningfully.
But whoever changes the law will inevitably touch the interests of the old forces, and once it is counterattacked, the consequences will be unimaginable.
A typical example is in the past, how could he not know that the change of law would be frantically rebounded by the old forces, but he is not afraid, Wang Yangming will not be afraid, he wants to rule the world, Wang Yangming wants to practice the ideals and pursuits in his heart, what is there to be afraid of, all forces are dry bones in the grave, they will only be crushed by the general trend guided by them, and there will be no second possibility.
An emperor who sits on the world and claims to be the destiny of heaven, a living saint who is the culmination of his heart and learning, his talent and learning ability is unparalleled, and he is not inferior to Confucius and Mencius, if he can't even play with a group of people who say they are smart or not, and they are stupid or not, they should also find a knife to break themselves, and it is not interesting to live.
"Your Majesty has already returned to the destiny of heaven, why bother to take such a risky act."
Li Dongyang's expression was bitter, and he personally taught him what it was like to be a student who could completely destroy the civilian-official clique, and now he has tried it!
The nine sides were controlled by Zhu Houzhao, and officials from all over the country quietly became Wang Yangming's scholars, and neither the civil nor the military had an advantage, so in this case, the civil and official group could not be Zhu Houzhao's opponent.
The old scholars of the pre-Qin period were the role models of the civil and official group.
"Destiny, do you believe this?"
Zhu Houzhao sneered: "If I really belong to the destiny of heaven, then why do people in the world want to lie on Da Ming's body to suck blood, why is it that just one change makes so many people jump up and down in a hurry, and how many interests are involved." ”
The Mandate of Heaven returns, these four words are okay to fool the people at the bottom, but in fact, whoever believes in it is a fool, looking at history, believing that the emperor of the Mandate of Heaven, nine out of ten are waste, and only waste will use the ethereal Mandate of Heaven to consolidate their power.
Zhu Houzhao is obviously not a fool, let alone a waste, he doesn't believe in the destiny of heaven, he only believes in himself.
"Alas......"
Seeing Zhu Houzhao's gesture of not having any room for negotiation, Li Dongyang let out a long sigh and took back the words he wanted to persuade Zhu Houzhao to let go of the civil official group.
After many years of layout, just for the outbreak of one day, Zhu Houzhao will never easily let go of the civilian official group, after all, the Chinese official group with many cancerous tumors in Daming is tied with the clan king group for the top two, and it is easy to release the civil official group, so what is the significance of Zhu Houzhao's change of law.
Changing the law always requires human life sacrifice, no matter what, the vassal group is a descendant of the Ming royal family, Zhu Houzhao can suppress it, but he can't slaughter it wantonly, and the civil official group has become the best sacrifice.
