Chapter Twenty-Nine: Unhappiness

The Son of Heaven is also unhappy, let alone what the night?

He Xi was full of unhappiness. But I have to admit that Yao Guangxiao is right, and even some of Yao Guangxiao's words were not said, but he could feel it.

That is, in fact, Confucianism is like a ghost, he is not an enemy of the entity. It's not about killing one person, killing a few, or even killing hundreds of thousands of people.

Don't speak to others. is the person under his command, it is difficult to say that he is not from Confucianism. The fundamental reason why Yang Zhen hated Confucianism was because he knew that his posthumous name and immediate events could not be recognized in the Confucian system.

That's why he tried his best to oppose it, but in essence, He Zeng did not admit Confucianism.

Even He Xi used many means to divide the various powers of Confucianism. But I have to admit that the praise and disapproval of a word have been passed down through the ages, and this power has not been completely taken away from Confucianism.

This is also something that many people care about.

He Xi turned his head to look at Yang Shiqi and said, "Shiqi, what do you think about this matter?"

Yang Shiqi was silent for a while, and said, "My lord, the world has been fighting for a long time, and there should really be no more incidents. The so-called poor don't chase after it, and this generation is already at the end of the road, and it is okay to kill himself. If you press it too hard, the lower officials are worried that something will happen, and it will be difficult for them to explain it from top to bottom."

He Xi smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth and said, "Not bad." He swirled in his heart and said, "That's what I mean."

In He Xi's heart, it doesn't matter if he thinks like this or not. The important thing is that Yang Shiqi thinks so.

There are also factions under He Xi, and Ye Shen represents He Xi's power in the army. Yang Zhen and others represent He Xi's strength in the economic field and his influence in science and technology. After all, Zhang Zongde is Yang Zhen's son-in-law, and Yang Zhen naturally represents his son-in-law.

And what does Yang Shiqi represent? If nothing else, it is the Guozijian faction. The traditional civil official faction is also the civil official force in the middle and upper echelons of the Ming Dynasty.

Yes, Yang Zhen understands very well that he is actually an outlier in the upper echelons of the Ming Dynasty. After He Xi stepped down, it was difficult for him to stay. In essence, Yang Zhen was He Xi's private person, not a minister of the Ming court.

Yang Shiqi is different.

The relationship between Yang Shiqi and these scholars has never been irreconcilable. More importantly, Yang Shiqi has assisted He Xi in handling general affairs in the cabinet in the past few years. And He Xi was busy with affairs, and he focused more on the system and the war against the south, and many things were handled by Yang Shiqi.

In recent years, Yang Shiqi has also been experienced.

Although he is still under He Xi, the team has already become.

Not to mention, He Xi will leave when his term expires. Yang Shiqi didn't want to leave. And Yang Shiqi's credit is not enough for him to have a fief overseas. What's more, Yang Shiqi didn't think about leaving the center of power.

He Xi understood Yang Shiqi's mind very well, Yang Shiqi must want to be the first assistant.

Regarding Yang Shiqi's thoughts, He Xi had no intention of objecting. But Yang Shiqi wants to do this thing, not Yang Shiqi thinks about it alone. There must be a nod from Zhu Xiongying.

If you want Zhu Xiongying to nod, Yang Shiqi's matter must be done in advance, and he can't wait for He Xi to step down before he curries favor with Zhu Xiongying. Then it will be too late.

It's just that this is a test of political wisdom.

Yang Shiqi must make a good trade-off between He Xi and Zhu Xiongying, after all, He Xi can decide his present, and Zhu Xiongying can decide his future.

Yang Shiqi's subtle thoughts, He Xi can actually taste it.

He Xi could understand, but he still felt uncomfortable, and the tea was cold before the person left.

But that's what politics is all about. Yang Shiqi is understandable to plan for his future.

Therefore, Yang Shiqi's words have weighed many things behind him, and he thinks it is probably an acceptable result for all parties.

Yes, after several years of fierce battles, all kinds of ups and downs, many people are tired of it. In a word, people have their minds set, especially Zhu Xiongying, he likes this conference

Enough and the end of the beauty. I don't care much about the idea of some changes.

This is not just Zhu Xiongying's idea. It's also what many people think.

Since He Xi was in power, the world has changed too much. Overwhelmed by a lot of people. It's not just the doctors in Jiangnan who are difficult to adapt, in fact, many people have such thoughts.

This is also human nature.

People are inert.

One has procrastination, and one country has a mentality of following the rules. They all want to take things back, but it's good that the debt ceiling seems to be pushed to tomorrow, and it won't be difficult in the future.

Of course, at least not now.

This is another reason why He Xi finally gave up power.

The general trend is like this, and the heroes are not free. is as strong as Zhu Yuanzhang, and after thinking about it for a long time, he can use a war that lasts for several years, with millions of casualties and countless materials to advance the reform.

Today, however, the urgency of changing the law is gone. And He Xi has changed enough.

Although due to He Xi's power, many people dare not come forward. The momentum cannot be exhausted, the blessings cannot be exhausted, and many things must be left to be left open.

to be able to last.

He Xi was unwilling, but he knew that he was forcibly pushing forward. There is a good chance that it will backfire. Either after his own death, all his policies are overturned. Or, they simply can't wait for death to see their policies overturned.

The situation is not at all.

The Confucian system coupled with the dictatorship of the emperor is too strict and exquisite. He Xi obviously felt all kinds of pressure. In the eyes of many, this is the right one. That's just the way it goes.

It even includes a lot of He Xi's followers.

And he took the initiative to retreat, and the heirs had to uphold the Taoist system that took over He Xi, just for their own legitimacy, and they didn't dare to easily overturn He Xi's policy, after all, respect the teacher. This is also what Confucianism advocates.

As long as He Xi can maintain no moral defects, many people will not dare to easily overturn He Xi's policies in the future. At most, what the Heavenly Demon did to the Buddha Lord, put on a robe and enter the temple. As a monk. Do the opposite.

However, He Xi is also mentally prepared.

The thing that made He Xi happiest today was nothing else. It was Zhang Zongde who took the initiative to come out to confront Kong Xilu, at least, the political power fabricated by He Xi, and now he has his own power. with a stand too.

Capitalism and the new bureaucracy, once they have stepped onto the stage of history, will not easily retreat.

In the future, it will depend on their own combat effectiveness.

"But then again." He Xi's tone was indifferent, and he said, "I will give some of the things that should be given to him. But what I don't give, they can't rob. Mr. Yao."

Yao Guangxiao said, "My subordinates are here."

He Xi said, "You can go on my behalf. Talk to that over there. By the way, tell them that they want to speak if they want to be good, and if they don't speak well. That's going to kill people."

He Xi's tone was indifferent, as if he was eating and drinking. But no one dared to think that what He Xi was talking about was eating and drinking.

Just a few pieces of it can force Jiangnan Shi to be like that. Not to mention He Xi. Fu Youde was in a hurry and dared to order the slaughter of the city, and the power of He Xi was still above Fu Youde.

Nothing can be done.

The authority of the so-called scholars is only available in peacetime. If the situation is replaced by a troubled era, when Zhang Shicheng first collected the scrape, he did not see many people dare to resist.

And today's chaos is just a matter of hell of a single mind.

Yao Guangxiao said, "Xiaguan understands."

-------

Soon Yao Guangxiao came over with Kong Xilu.

As soon as Kong Xilu saw He Xi, he put his posture very low, and after saluting, he said, "He Shoufu, we don't dare to fight with Shoufu, we just ask Shoufu to give him a way to live. Please raise your noble hand."

"Survival?" He Xi said, "What is the way to live?"

Kong Xilu said: "I represent dozens of generations of hairpin families in Jiangnan, and I can't break the inheritance in our generation."

He Xi listened, and didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Happily, under such a ravage, the hard bones of Jiangnan have been pulled out. Today's so-called Jiangnan scholars are bureaucrats through and through.

All they care about is the continuation of their own family.

I don't care what Confucianism is or not.

This reminded He Xi of Song Ne, Liu Sanwu, Fang Xiaoru, and others. With such a descendant, they may not be at peace under the Nine Springs.

Fang Xiaoru and others have always had the attitude of protecting the township and protecting the economy of small farmers, after all, whether He Xi's policy is good or not is another matter, but the impact of He Xi's policy on the countryside is obvious.

On the other hand, in the face of these unprincipled people, He Xi certainly does not believe in what is the first thing to look forward to. But they also believe that they will obey the strong.

From then on, He Xi felt that the biggest obstacle to the implementation of the new policy would not come out against him.

But I threw all the bones of the wind and the heart of the people for my life, and I didn't know where to throw them.

It's even more ridiculous. The noble, he can't tolerate it alone. The so-called Tao is not the same, Fang Xiaoru is fortunately dead. Otherwise, if it falls into the hands of He Xi, He Xi will certainly not kill him. But it won't make him feel better.

It's not that He Xi has any opinion on the private morality of Fang Xiaoru, but Laneige is the door and has to be removed.

It's just that when Laneige is gone, it is full of weeds.

It is these realists who should bow their heads now, and these people can stay. As an embellishment for the implementation of the new deal.

That's how ridiculous the world is.

He Xi said, "I'll give you a way to live. I will go to the imperial court, in order to promote literature and teaching, and appease the world's scholars, I will hold Enke again, but it will also be the last Enke. At the same time, in Suzhou, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi, a academy was built in each of them, so that the local people could elect virtuous people to be the masters."
