Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

After saying this, Sun Chuanting and the others were obviously a little surprised. Beijing inspection and external inspection involve rewards and punishments for officials all over the world. According to the past practice, shouldn't Duke Qin firmly hold such rights in his hands?How could it be handed over to their cabinet so easily?

Surprises are surprises, the rights in hand, naturally there is no reason to give them away.

Sun Chuanting and the others also stood up one after another, and responded to the order of the emperor sitting at the top!

It's just that it's obviously a little unreasonable for someone to eat people with a soft mouth and short hands, to accept the monstrous rights sent over, and then mention the civil affairs of the martial arts academy.

It's just that Li Banghua obviously doesn't care about these things. Just when Sun Chuanting and the others were still hesitating, Li Banghua stood up again, bowed deeply to the little emperor, and then looked at Li Xiu, cupped his hands and said, "Li I once heard the Duke of Qin say that the country will perish with the weak, but the Han will perish with the strong!"

"Ms. Li is dull, thinking hard and unable to make sense. I don't know Mr. Qin. Can you explain something to Mr. Li?"

With these words, the smile on the corner of Li Xiu's mouth suddenly froze, the cold light flickered in his eyes, and the oppressive aura instantly enveloped the lobby.

Under the watchful eyes of several pavilion elders, Li Xiu chuckled, his gaze shifted, fixed on Li Banghua, and he said slowly:

"The State Shepherd of the Han Dynasty, the Jiedu of the Tang Dynasty, and the Governor-General of our Dynasty, what does Mr. Li think are the differences between these three?"

After saying this, the expressions of Sun Chuanting and the others also changed slightly. Taking history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall!

Anyone who has a little knowledge does not know the dangers of centralization.

Would the ancients not know?In the past, the ministers of the emperor would not know?

The commanders of the capitals, the chief ministers, and the procuratorial divisions for punishment. The system that this dynasty has painstakingly established is nothing more than to prevent the dynasty from reappearing in the state of the Han Dynasty, the Jiedu of the Tang Dynasty, and repeating the situation where the place is big and the interior is light. Extraordinary history lessons.

However, why did governors, governors, and other official positions finally appear, and even now, these official positions have solidified and formed a system?

The answer is very clear.

The world cannot always be at peace, the locality cannot always be peaceful, and the dragons cannot always be leaderless.

The general trend of history is mighty and mighty, and it cannot be changed by force.

And today's Ming Dynasty undoubtedly needs a strong place to maintain the situation.

"Governors and governors are the general trend of history, and it is difficult to go against them, but... since ancient times, civil servants and herdsmen governing the country, and military commanders commanding troops to defend the borders are also an eternal law and a prerequisite for stability in the world."

"But now, the civil and military affairs are chaotic, and the Military Academy is originally a place for military policy, but there is a civil affairs department to teach herdsmen, putting the cart before the horse..."

"The military generals of the local prefectures and counties rule the army, and the military and government are in charge, and the functions of the imperial court are as if they are in vain..."

Speaking of this, Li Banghua bowed deeply to Li Xiu:

"That's not good governance, I hope Duke Qin think twice!"

As soon as the words fell, Li Xiu's answer sounded:

"Two powers harm each other whichever is less!"

"Lord Li thinks that by sitting back and watching the evolution of corruption, the country will be better off."

"Is it better to centralize the implementation of the policy for the time being and smooth out the corruption?"

Seeing the silence of several people, Li Xiu said again: "If all the elders can thoroughly implement the imperial court's major policy, the governor will not hesitate to abolish the Civil Affairs Department of the Military Academy immediately."

"If you can't, then please think carefully about this choice, how to choose, and what will be the most beneficial to Daming!"

With these words, the silence deepened a bit.

At this moment, several people looked at each other, unable to hide their helplessness.

Faintly, there was even a flash of regret.

If at the beginning, when the officials refused to take office, they hadn't sat idly by and held the idea of ​​wanting Qin Gong to bow his head, thinking about it, they wouldn't have evolved to this point.

But at this moment, Li Xiu ignored the thoughts of the elders, turned around, picked up the frowning little emperor, and walked towards the backyard.

Only a few cabinet ministers were left looking at each other, sighing helplessly...

Chapter 334 The king regards his ministers as brothers and feet, and the ministers regard the emperor as his heart

"Uncle Li, civil servants rule the country, military generals lead the army, Mr. Li Ge, are you right?"

After leaving the lobby, the little emperor finally couldn't help being puzzled, looked up at Li Xiu and asked.

"There is no right or wrong in governing the country, only pros and cons!"

"Whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, or whether the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, after seeing clearly, it becomes clear how to choose."

"Oh……"

The little emperor nodded, he remembered that this should be the second time Uncle Li said such a thing.

He used to be a little ignorant, but now, the little emperor feels that he seems to understand a little bit.

"Pros and cons!"

The little emperor recited silently in his heart, keeping these two words firmly in his heart.

At this moment, Li Xiu pushed open the door and stepped into the study.

On the table, as always, it was full of military and state affairs from all over the Ming Dynasty.

Li Xiu stepped forward, picked up a chair, and placed it on the side of the desk. Immediately, he put the little emperor on the chair, took out a playbook, and placed it in front of the little emperor.

The little emperor stared blankly at the playbook in front of him, his eyes full of doubts.

"After reading it, tell Uncle Li again, what is said here, and how to deal with it, understand?"

"clear."

The little emperor nodded seriously, moved his body for a while, then leaned forward, opened the playbook, and read it seriously.

Li Xiu stared at it for a moment, then slowly turned his eyes away, and looked at the playbooks in front of him. Just like the little emperor, he picked them up and opened them...

Time passed bit by bit, and the only sound left in the room was the flipping of pages.

The playbook, what is played, is naturally a matter of the military.

In this era, although the punctuation of punctuation has a rudimentary form, it is far from perfect, let alone popularized.

Therefore, in this era, literacy does not mean being able to read books.

There is no punctuation in the whole article, from the beginning to the end, it is all obscure classical Chinese. Many ministers are accustomed to citing classics.

In this way, to understand a memorandum is not only a matter of ten actions at a glance, it is extremely brain-intensive and requires a certain amount of cultural background.

Whether the little emperor can understand, understand, Li Xiu is optimistic.

Although he is only five or six years old, this five or six years old is obviously a completely different concept from the five or six years old of other people in the world.

"Uncle Li, I've finished reading."

After an unknown amount of time, the little emperor turned his head and looked at Li Xiu.

Hearing this, Li Xiu slowly closed the playbook in his hand, and then took the playbook in front of the little emperor, and said: "Then Brother Chun, tell me, who submitted this playbook, what is it narrated, and how should it be written?" deal with?"

"This is, this is... from Jiangnan Hubu... the left servant, Hong Chengchou."

The little emperor frowned and spoke intermittently.

"The memorandum says that Zhejiang... seized six merchants who were stockpiling... hoarding goods, the prefect of Huzhou prefecture, inspecting... Hangzhou... Jinhua... a total of [-] officials were involved..."

"Hong Chengchou asks for instructions, how to deal with it..."

Although it was stumbling, but in the end, the little emperor still told the matter clearly.

Li Xiu also closed the memorial to Hong Chengchou, and then looked at the little emperor and asked, "Then Brother Chun thinks how to deal with it?"

The little emperor frowned and thought for a long time, and finally shook his head.

"Uncle Li, I don't know,"

"There are also advantages and disadvantages in the matter of merchants."

"Xunzi has a saying: In the North Sea, there are horses and dogs barking, but China gets them and animals make them. In the South Sea, there are feathers, tooth leather, Zengqing, and Danganyan, but China gets them and makes money. In the East China Sea, there are purple cats. Fish and salt, but China gets them for food and clothing. The West Sea has leather and weeds, but China gets them and uses them. This is the role of merchants, and it is also the benefit of merchants.”

"However, if merchants don't do what Xunzi said about normal transactions, and contribute to the prosperity of Ming Dynasty, instead hoarding goods, colluding with officials, harming the people, and destabilizing one side, isn't this a disadvantage?"

"Ah."

The little emperor nodded, half understanding.

Li Xiu asked again: "Then, if merchants act like this, does the benefit outweigh the harm, or does the harm outweigh the benefit?"

The little emperor immediately said: "The harm outweighs the benefit! These business officials should be killed!"

"Yes, it should be killed!"

Li Xiu nodded, and said again: "However, the premise of killing is that we have to consider what impact will be caused by killing these merchant officials, and what are the pros and cons of this impact?"

"If, as a decision-maker, you can't resist or face the impact of making a decision, then no matter how serious the disadvantages are, you have to put them off for the time being and seek other ways to slowly solve them."

Even though he spoke so cautiously, the strokes of the pen did not stop at all in this memorial book. In just a few words, the fate of hundreds of people in Zhejiang was sealed.

"Uncle Li, I understand."

The little emperor nodded, his face full of seriousness.

"Just understand it, and remember it firmly."

Li Xiu picked up the little emperor and said with a smile: "Eat something, Uncle Li will send Brother Chun back to the palace."

"All right……"

The little emperor was obviously a little disappointed, but he nodded obediently.

He also thought that he could have some fun this time out of the palace!

The kitchen in the mansion had already been busy for a day, and following an order, delicious dishes were placed on the table one after another.

After filling his stomach a little bit, Li Xiu entered the palace again just like when he came, holding the little emperor in his arms.

After Li Xiu sent the little emperor back to Qianqing Palace, when he came out again, it was already dusk, and the last afterglow of the setting sun in the sky, passing across the sky and the earth, was fading at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Strolling in the square outside the Palace of Qianqing, gazing at the setting sun in the sky, Li Xiu suddenly stopped, then turned around, and started walking towards the depths of the palace.

The afterglow of the setting sun faded quickly, Li Xiu's steps were not too fast, and his figure was slowly submerged into the coming twilight.

In the end, when Li Xiu stopped and stopped, the space in front of him turned from emptiness to silence, from solemnity to coldness.

White gauze flutters and candles flicker.

The mourning hall was empty and there were no people there. Chongzhen's coffin was still located in the mourning hall.

When this scene came into his eyes, Li Xiu's eyes flickered, and he stopped for a long time before slowly walking to the front of the coffin.

Caressing the coffin, the cold texture clearly spread to the bottom of my heart through the fingertips.

Li Xiu's heart was very peaceful, never before.

All illusions and fantasies have dissipated, and the only thing left is the cold reality, just like the cold texture of this coffin.

"The king regards his ministers as brothers and feet, and the ministers regard the emperor as his heart. The emperor regards his ministers as dogs and horses, and the ministers regard the emperor as the people of the country. The emperor regards his ministers as grasshoppers, and the ministers regard him as a bandit!"

In the silence, Li Xiu murmured softly that this sentence from Mencius, which was cut out by Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang's personal order, was also the sentence that caused the shocking storm in the capital and directly led to the death of Chongzhen.

There is no hesitation on the expression, only the firmness of the heart has been confirmed...

Chapter 335 The Soil of Civilization and Splendor!

Polu Mountain.

Wuyuan.

Since the establishment of the Martial Academy in March of the second year of Chongzhen, nearly four years have passed.

Compared with the original one, the function authority and scale of this martial arts academy have undergone earth-shaking changes.

In the beginning, the Martial Academy was only used as a training ground for soldiers from Jingji, Xuanfu, and the three regions.

But now, the functions of the Martial Academy have already spread to the entire Ming Dynasty. It is precisely because of the existence of the Martial Academy, with the help of the functions of the Martial Academy, that the world's guards have been deployed.

Of course, today's Martial Academy, with Li Xiu's changes in the layout of the world, to be precise, is now more than just a pure military training institution.

Up to now, the martial arts academy has become an existence that pays equal attention to civil and military affairs. Civilian subjects are opened to cultivate the abilities of warriors and herdsmen.

The students of the Martial Arts Academy may be the generals of the army, or the officials of the herdsmen, or lead the power of the censor, and patrol the world.

Even if it is just the first signs, the Martial Academy has already become a pivotal existence in the Ming Dynasty's ruling institutions.

The influence of power also makes the literati in the world fear it, and it has become an indispensable existence for Li Xiu to control the world.

In this way, Li Xiu is naturally very concerned about the martial arts academy, not to mention the huge investment of financial and material resources, as long as he is in the capital, he must come to the martial arts academy for a few days every month, either to perform the duties of a lecturer, or to Inspection and supervision, never slack in the slightest.

Especially since the establishment of Civil Science, it was difficult to find suitable literati to give lectures. When the Civil Science was first established, Li Xiu even went to the battle in person, and spent more than a month in this martial arts academy to select suitable talents. An almost tacit understanding of civil servants backlash.

Recalling the past and looking at the present Martial Academy, Li Xiu couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.
