0065 Induction
At this time, Emperor Wanli showed a strong self-control ability! In such a short period of time, he has already controlled his emotions, at least his face is much more normal! He drank the tea in his cup that was starting to cool and said, "But Mr. Zhang, that's not what they said when they taught me!" The gentlemen said that he did not know the etiquette and the law, and favored the traitor! also said that he didn't do it as an emperor, and he also made himself a general and went out to fight, but as a result, many people died but he didn't kill many Tartars! He also said......"
Liu Haojia sneered and said, "Favor traitor? If civil officials are disobedient and don't do things, the emperor will naturally arrange for others to do things! Is this a pampered traitor? Also, does the emperor have to live in the deep palace and not show up? Aren't they afraid of cultivating an emperor who doesn't know the feelings of the people and shouts why don't they eat meatballs come out? The most outrageous thing is that big battle, the civil officials are simply shameless! ”
Emperor Wanli was young, and when he liked to listen to the stories of the war, he heard Liu Haojia say this and hurriedly said: "Could it be that there are cats in that battle?" ”
Liu Haojia said: "Your Majesty, I think a few of your masters should tell you that Emperor Wuzong killed more than 600 people in that battle, but only killed 16 Tartar soldiers, which was completely a waste of money and labor, yes or no?" ”
Emperor Wanli nodded and said, "That's right, that's what is written in the history books!" ”
Liu Haojia snorted and said, "They almost succeeded in turning His Majesty into a fool who doesn't understand military affairs!" Let me ask Your Majesty, the army marched thousands of miles, and if there was an accident in the middle, I am afraid that more than 600 people died of disease! Not to mention the two sides are fighting! After a big battle, how can the number of people killed in battle be only such a small number? ”
Emperor Wanli opened his mouth, and just wanted to say something, he was blocked by Liu Haojia, and said: "There is another question, at that time, Emperor Wuzong led the army to fight, and there was no Wenchen to follow, and there is no mention in the history books of the number of casualties reported by the general, so where did the number of 600 people killed and 16 Tartar soldiers killed in this history book come from?" Moreover, it is also recorded in the history books that Emperor Wuzong once personally stabbed a person, which shows that the occupation at that time was so dangerous that the emperor had to go into battle in person, how could this be a small battle? ”
Emperor Wanli immediately remembered that when it was recorded in the history books of this dynasty that he was at war with the Tartars, which battle was not caused by thousands of casualties, how did it get to Emperor Wuzong, and a battle was like a joke!
Liu Haojia continued: "This battle is obviously a big victory, but it has been scandalized by civil officials! There is only one direct evidence, Your Majesty can flip through the documents of Emperor Wuzong, and you can see that since Emperor Wuzong fought a big battle with the little prince, until he died, the little prince did not dare to commit a crime! This can only show one thing, that is, the battle at that time hurt him and scared him! Otherwise, according to the virtue of the Tartars, if this battle is lost, I am afraid that it will be deducted every year, and maybe I will try to cross the internal and external three levels and tentatively attack the Beijing Division! So Emperor Wuzong was wronged! ”
Emperor Wanli said at a loss: "But, shouldn't such an emperor be supported by the ministers, how can he become like this?" ”
Liu Haojia sighed and said, "It may have been possible in the early years, but it was not right when Emperor Wuzong caught up!" Because at that time, Wenchen had already mastered the imperial court, and they definitely didn't want an emperor who was as decisive as Emperor Taizu Taizong! ”
Emperor Wanli said thoughtfully: "You mean that they are afraid of being killed by the emperor?" ”
Liu Haojia smiled and said: "The fear of being killed is certainly one of the reasons, but more importantly, what they are afraid of is not being able to get rich!" I have read a lot of history books, and I dare to say that when my dynasty was just founded, the officialdom was the most incorruptible time in the imperial court of all dynasties! It's a pity that with the death of Emperor Taizu, Emperor Taizong focused on military affairs again, and the supervision of officials was slack, so that now the tail is too big to fall! ”
Wanli nodded in understanding, because he had also read history books. At that time, the ancestor of their Zhu family was really strong enough, and he would peel the officials who were greedy for ink at every turn! At that time, some of the officials who worked under Zhu Yuanzhang even had to write a suicide note before going to court! It can be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang killed heavily at that time!
This is related to Zhu Yuanzhang's background at the bottom, he knows too well the suffering of the people at the bottom, so he wants to control the corruption of ink through strict punishment. But what he did was too idealistic and didn't work out.
Many people say that this is because the officials are too low, but in fact this is not the case! On the bright side, Zhu Yuanzhang's salary to officials is indeed very low, but he gives a lot of in-kind subsidies to officials at all levels! It can be said that it was enough for the expenses of the officials at that time!
In fact, we can take Qingguan Hairui as a comparison. According to the prices at that time and the officials who had never risen, if there were no subsidies in kind, Hai Rui would have starved to death a few days after taking office, let alone being a clean official! It can be seen that those officials who are greedy for ink are still greedy!
After Liu Haojia briefly explained the truth to Emperor Wanli, when he saw that he understood, he said, "Now Your Majesty understands, right?" Now, as long as Your Majesty does not touch the military power, and is more careful, there is still a guarantee of safety. ”
But where was Emperor Wanli willing to be a puppet emperor, he gritted his teeth and said: "What's the use of ensuring safety?" Is it possible to make a lifetime of wood carving clay sculpture? ”
Liu Haojia said: "Your Majesty, hasn't Niangniang already pointed out a way for Your Majesty?" We can first ensure the safety of His Majesty's side, and then gradually master the Jinyi Guard! After all, Jinyiwei is the Son of Heaven Eagle Dog, and he is directly commanded by His Majesty! As long as we act a little more carefully, we won't cause much backlash. After we master the brocade guard, we can naturally paint it slowly! ”
Emperor Wanli immediately slapped the table and said, "Okay! That's it! ”
But then he said dejectedly: "But how to pass this level now? No silver is always in vain! Just like Mr. Zhang said, it takes silver to build the site and buy equipment! Even after that, it is a lot of silver! I can't help this matter, just rely on Brother Liu to find a way! ”
Liu Haojia frowned and said, "But for a while, the grass people can't come up with any good way!" ”
Emperor Wanli stood up and said, "I don't care about this, I have to think of a way!" If you can pull your family like this, you will definitely be able to find a way! If there is a way, I will let you directly make the small flag of the Jinyi Guard! ”
