I will hold high the dragon flag in the world of the heavens

Chapter 17 Want to know why Daming perished?
Chen Aiguo sat on the seat prepared by the maid and explained in detail: "This meeting was held on the basis of the principle of honesty, fairness, and impartiality to help Daming. This meeting is positive and upward..."

At the beginning of a formulaic meeting, the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty looked at each other.

Chen Aiguo didn't care about their complex thoughts, and detailed the manuscript he had memorized by heart.

"Since ancient times, the reasons for the demise of the dynasty have been complicated, but there are two core elements that can never be escaped! Let me first talk about the two most important reasons for the disaster of the Ming Dynasty's subjugation."

"The first one, of course, is the collapse of the government."

"The second one is frequent natural and man-made disasters. All external factors can be classified as man-made disasters!"

"I don't want to talk too much about the collapse of the bureaucracy! You civil servants, generals, eunuchs and relatives of the emperor know how many fields and tax burdens you have occupied in the past few hundred years, and how many wrong and unjust cases you have made!"

Gu Bingqian wanted to get up to refute, but was hit on the head by Chen Mu with a walnut.

"Oh~ you..."

Chen Mu sneered: "Don't BB, if you dare to intervene again, I'll kill you!"

Gu Bingqian dared not speak out immediately.

Chen Aiguo added 36 praises to Chen Mu in his heart: "The collapse of the government is the root, and natural and man-made disasters are the fuse that ignites the collapse of the Ming Dynasty!"

Seeing that the crowd held back their anger and remained silent, Chen Aiguo smiled and said, "Do you know why after 200 years of dynasties, there will always be various signs of national subjugation, natural disasters, man-made disasters, and various problems one after another?"

Everyone was frightened by Chen Mu's power and did not dare to speak.

"Everyone knows about the Han and Tang Dynasties, and everyone knows about the demise of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Everyone can speak freely now."

Everyone looked at each other, and Zhao Nanxing was the first to speak.

"The Han and Tang Dynasties were in chaos because of eunuchs and powerful ministers. Taizu and Chengzu took over the imperial power. Zhang Qiankun, how did the disaster of destroying the country come from?"

Wei Zhongxian glared at each other angrily: "Hmph, the disaster of the Han and Tang Dynasties, the disaster of perishing lies in the aristocratic family, and lies in the rebellion of the generals and ministers!"

These words made Zhu Chunchen, Zhang Weixian and other nobles unhappy: "Hmph, there are also many problems with eunuchs. If the Han Dynasty was not the disaster of the ten chief servants, how could the strong man perish."

Wei Zhongxian looked disdainful: "Hehe, it was obviously caused by the collapse of your government, so how did the Yellow Turban Rebellion come about? The panicked man is because of the collapse of the government, which leads to prosperity and decline!"

Zhao Nanxing yelled loudly: "You are the one who has the power to eunuch cholera!"

"Military generals are scourges..."

Civil servants, military generals, nobles and eunuchs insisted on their own opinions, and the Qianqing Palace gradually became a little noisy.

Chen Aiguo glanced at Chen Mu from the corner of his eye.

"You must make me a villain. After the acting is over, you must add chicken legs to me."

Chen Mu wanted to add chicken legs, but he didn't hesitate. He grabbed Zhao Nanxing who yelled the loudest.

Stretching out his hand is a slap in the face!
"Let you call. I'll call you! The voice is so loud, it scares me, you know? Also, what are you doing with such a white face? My light bulb is not as bright as yours. I really think that I am RMB, and everyone loves me?"

clap clap~
Using both hands and feet, Zhao Nanxing, the censor of Zuodu, had his nose bruised and his face swollen.

This guy was so stubborn that he didn't say a word!
"Hey, are you very angry? Your name is Zhao Nanxing, right? Let me think about it. Zhao Nanxing, whose name is Mengbai, whose name is Caihe, and whose nickname is Qingdu FIT, is from Gaoyi, Zhending Prefecture, Beizhili. The leader of the Donglin Party One. Oh...you have an old mother, three sons, seven daughters, land...tenants...shops..."

Hearing that the villain shook out his underpants, Zhao Nanxing was extremely angry.

"You villain, you miss my background and wealth, why?"

"It's nothing, I just mean that if you dare to look at me with dead fish eyes, I will be the first to settle accounts with you from the Nine Clans."

Zhao Nanxing's veins were popping out, but he was afraid of what Chen Mu said, so he didn't dare to say more!
Only then did Chen Mu let go of his hand: "Are you so good!"

The endless quarrel was terminated by a few slaps from Chen Mu.

Chen Aiguo showed an innocent smile: "Chen Mu, you step back, and I will tell them in detail why Daming suffered the disaster of subjugation."

Everyone looked at Chen Mu even worse.

Chen Aiguo said in a flat tone: "Since ancient times, the demise of the Central Plains dynasty has always started with the collapse of officials. The Yellow Turban Rebellion in the Han Dynasty was originally caused by natural disasters that caused food harvests. You also know that even if there is no Zhang Jiao, there will be Li Jiao and Chen Jiao!"

Daming Wenwu didn't say much at the moment.

Because the Han Dynasty did cause the Yellow Turban Rebellion due to natural disasters and man-made disasters.

Seeing that no one refuted, Chen Aiguo felt quite bored.

The people in front of him are all historical figures. Although they are from movies and TV dramas, even if Chen Aiguo completes this mission, he still has the capital to brag to his colleagues!
"Perhaps in the history books it will be recorded that the emperor was young, and the chief official insulted the young master. It is recorded that if the sky does not favor the big man, the most important cause of demise is natural disasters, and the officials should be the chief culprit!"

"Let's talk about the Tang Dynasty!"

"Everyone knows the core reason for the demise of the Tang Dynasty. Because of the Jiedushi's dictatorship of the military and the concentration of the three powers of the government and the judiciary, An Shi and his wife had unreasonable thoughts. The powerful Tang Dynasty has been on the road to decline since then!"

"But the core of the Anshi Rebellion is the collapse of the government. What do you want to say?"

Zhu Chunchen said with a sneer: "One-sided words. Even if you say that the demise of the Han and Tang Dynasties has something to do with the administration of officials, it doesn't mean that the Ming Dynasty is about to perish!"

Chen Aiguo shrugged his shoulders, and Chen Mu, Zhang Jin and others laughed in unison.

The smile is slightly exaggerated, and his acting skills can only score 59 points.But it is enough for these high-level officials who think they control Daming.

Zhu Chunchen blew his eyebrows and stared: "Hmph! Am I not right? Laughing at us like this, and still calling it a fair negotiation? It's ridiculous."

Moose spoke for the first time at this meeting.

"This old man, what's your last name?"

"I am Cheng Guogong Zhu Chunchen!"

"Oh, how many fertile fields, shops, and industries do you have in your family? Do you know how many soldiers and horses you have?"

Zhu Chunchen was stunned: "Fine land is just a reward from past dynasties. I don't know about shops and the like. The old man is now in charge of the [-]th Battalion of the Beijing Camp. Also, who are you? Why do you ask me this?"

Zhu Chunchen was very angry. If this woman asked him so in other places, he would have started yelling.

If it wasn't for his own safety, he wouldn't be so good-tempered.

Mu Siyue laughed: "I'm just an unknown person! Let's talk about whether Duke Cheng knows about his fertile land, and the [-]th Battalion of the Beijing Camp under your control is really full and full? Is it really strong?"

Zhu Chunchen's heart tightened, and he snorted coldly: "If you come in, it's enough to deal with you arrogant people!"

Mu Siyue shook her head: "You are Gu Bingqian's chief assistant, right?"

Gu Bingqian was naughty: "This old man is indeed Gu Bingqian!"

"How many good farms and shops are there in your home?"

"The farmland in my home is only 100 mu, and the business is to compete with the people for profit, so I don't want to participate!"

Mu Siyue laughed: "Really?"

Afterwards, Mu Siyue asked Daming's civil and military officials about Xungui's own assets, civil officials' own fertile land and various industries.

Some people can answer, some people can't.

Mu Siyue took out an account book and read it lightly.

"Master Gu Bingqian, you said you have 100 acres of Zhongtian in your family, but I have more detailed data here. Your hometown alone has 3 acres of land that is affiliated with you. You said that the business is cheap, but you run There are several very important grain shops in Nanzhili. You said you have very little assets, but we simply estimated your assets, let’s say a million taels less?"

Gu Bingqian's face suddenly turned pale.

"No, it shouldn't be a million taels. If you count the contributions from the maritime merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, your family has earned at least 200 million taels in the past few years! Tsk tsk~ When did the salary of the chief assistant of Ming Dynasty become so high?"

Hearing Haishang, Gu Bingqian's eyes turned black!
