From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

The sun was shining brightly, shining into the house through the paper window and onto the young man's face.

His face and eyes seemed to be glowing, and his voice just now was so deafening.

Du Qi felt a huge pressure, not the pressure of losing in the discussion of the Tao and not being able to achieve his goal, but... he began to doubt his Tao.

This is a very serious matter!

So Du Qi could only shout loudly: "It is precisely because the Great Jin has accumulated a lot of problems that it needs a change of the world! Only in this way can this corrupt court be changed!"

"The Marquis of Annan is a sword. He will cut off all the rotten flesh of the Great Jin and make the Great Jin a brand new, reborn Great Jin."

Zhou Yuan sighed and said with emotion: "Mr. Du, you are too naive."

"You are very knowledgeable, familiar with the books of sages, and have the feelings of a Confucian scholar, but you don't understand politics."

"The Marquis of Annan cannot cut off the rotten flesh of the Great Jin, because he is a scavenger, he will only make this land more Desolate. "

"At the same time, Dajin is like an old man who is terminally ill. If you use strong medicine, the disease may be cured, but the person will definitely die."

"Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. It's not that simple."

Zhou Yuan put away his sword and said softly: "The problem that Dajin needs to solve is not only internal strife, but also external strength."

"If we really change the world, then the Mongolian Empire in the north would have entered the capital long ago."

Du Qi was sweating profusely. He felt that he was almost convinced, but was it really wrong to insist on it for so many years?

No! It must not be wrong!

The corruption in Dajin has not been a matter of a few years. It can't go on like this.

Du Qi said solemnly: "Young man, you are still a woman's opinion after all. It is better to put hope in an ambitious and powerful official than in a court that has been corrupt for a hundred years!"

"At least the latter is new and can bring changes to this lifeless world and hope to the people."

Zhou Yuan had no expression on his face, but said in a deep voice: "King Wen was imprisoned and wrote the Book of Changes, Confucius was in distress and wrote the Spring and Autumn Annals, Qu Yuan was exiled and wrote "Li Sao", Zuo Qiuming was blind and wrote "Guoyu"."

"Sun Tzu was crippled and wrote "The Art of War", Bu Wei moved to Shu and passed down "Lü Lan", Han Fei was imprisoned in Qin, "On Difficulties" and "Indignation", and the three hundred poems in "Book of Songs" are mostly the works of saints and sages."

Say At this point, Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "The historian is also like this. Why is this? He is a sage!"

"The difficulties encountered by sages are just like the difficulties faced by the Great Jin Dynasty today. Only by persevering and persevering, and gaining insights, can we obtain the most precious fruits."

"However, Mr. Du is disappointing. You are unwilling to accompany the Great Jin Dynasty to endure this difficulty. You are unwilling to wait for the moment when the fruits are ripe. You just want to destroy everything and pin your hopes on a powerful official who is worse than pigs and dogs."

He pointed at Du Qi and shouted, "A Confucian disciple should have great ambitions, great perseverance and great righteousness. Mr. Du, who acts like this, is he worthy of being called a Confucian?"

This last sentence was like a sharp sword, piercing Du Qi's heart.

Du Qi was almost unable to hold on, and was violently broken by this sentence. He was so angry that his face turned red and a mouthful of blood spurted out on the spot.

"You! You brat! How dare you..."

He turned pale and said sternly: "How dare you say I am not worthy of being a Confucian!"

Zhou Yuan struck while the iron was hot and said anxiously: "My Great Jin Dynasty has been established for 400 years. It has also been prosperous, but it has been made into this state by several generations of incompetent monarchs."

"Now that Taizu is alive and the heavens have eyes, the Great Jin Dynasty has finally ushered in a wise monarch that has not been seen for a hundred years. Since you are a Confucian, how can you not serve the court, help the holy monarch, and restore the world to peace!"

"Since you are a Confucian, why did you help the tyrant and rebel with the thieves when the Great Jin Dynasty ushered in a turning point, and do such a treasonous thing!"

"A saint will achieve great things when encountering great difficulties, and a Confucian will not succumb when encountering great difficulties."

"When you encounter great difficulties, you become a ghost and bring disaster to the world. You still dare to speak shamelessly in front of me, saying what the people of the world are like!"

Du Qi heard this, his face turned pale, and he sat down on the chair, gasping for breath, as if he had an asthma attack.

Until then, Shen Qiaoshan stood up and sighed, "Kerong, no one is perfect. It is a great virtue to correct one's mistakes."

"Today's Jin Dynasty needs people like you who are well-educated to benefit the people!"

Du Qi trembled and said, "Nonsense! This kid is talking nonsense! Don't trust him!"

Zhou Yuan took a sip of tea and smiled, "Mr. Du, listen carefully. Your Majesty wrote a note three months ago. I got the above ways of governing the country for you."

"The first one is: implement the three methods of reducing troops, protecting the army, and appointing generals, and evaluate the soldiers and troops, cut redundant soldiers, and solve the problem of redundant soldiers."

"The second one is: implement the system of Beijing inspection, take back the power of supervision and inspection, and use the responsibility to judge officials, and appoint officials according to their duties to solve the problem of redundant officials."

"The third one is: lift the ban on sea transportation, rectify salt and iron, export tea, porcelain and other items, collect tariffs, and useUse taxes to support the army, patrol the coastal waters, and feed back the maritime trade. "

"These three strategies can solve the worries of the empty treasury and the abuse of power by officials."

"The fourth is: taxation is distributed according to the land, the land is remeasured, and the land is returned to the people, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment."

"The fifth is: change the natives to flow, abolish the chieftain system, replace it with officials of the flow, implement the laws of the Jin Dynasty, and completely solve the problem of the chieftains' rebellion."

"The sixth is: fill the treasury to train soldiers, learn from the West to refine firearms, rectify military affairs, destroy Mongolia, drive out the Tartars, build national defense, and open up the world of the Jin Dynasty for eternal peace."

"These six strategies are the strategies for pacifying the world!"

At this point, Zhou Yuan slammed the table and said loudly: "Du Qi! Do you think this is a wise ruler? Should he be assisted? "

Zhou Yuan picked up the teacup and took another sip. Damn, it was too tiring.

The old man was in a critical position. In order to take him down, Zhou Yuan had to sacrifice a lot of hard work.

These were all things he was going to do in the future!

If he couldn't convince the old man, then the sword in his hand would come in handy.

Du Qi was still in a daze, but Shen Qiaoshan was so excited that his face flushed. He couldn't help but kneel on the ground and shouted.

"He is really a wise king! My Great Jin got this holy king at such a critical moment. God has eyes!"

With tears in his eyes, he couldn't help but roar: "After this incident, I finally understand your majesty's painstaking efforts for the country. I failed to contribute to the country and assist the holy king. It is a great regret in my life!"

He stood up again in a hurry, grabbed Du Qi's hand, and said loudly: "Ke Rong! Did you hear it? This is the way to revitalization! This is the road to revival! ”

“How can you bear to rebel against such a holy king? How can you bear to cut off the hope of the people of the world?”

“Follow me and bring this Annan Hou to justice and restore the peace of heaven and earth!”

Du Qi was panting heavily, his clothes were soaked with sweat.

He looked at Zhou Yuan and murmured, “Are you serious?”

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, “The letter received by the head of the inner court was written by your majesty himself!”

Du Qi took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice, “There is hope for the world, there is hope for the world.”

Until this moment, Zhou Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

This crucial move was successful.
