Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

In all dynasties, the emperor and the gentry and landlords shared the world, and thus ruled the people of the world. Under the strict ruling mechanism, they won the power of the people of the world!

As for the public opinion...

Actually, it doesn't matter!

Under the rigorous ruling organization, no matter which era, the people at the bottom will always be the targets of oppression and exploitation!

Only by exploiting the people, squeezing the people, and keeping the people in the stage of begging for food forever, can the dynasty have a stable foundation.

As for the common people, the lower limit is always the lowest. Even if they really can't survive, those who dare to riot are only a minority after all.

Even in the last years of the dynasty, in a world of turmoil, the people at the bottom will always be nothing more than cannon fodder in the eyes of the ambitious.

With a long history of thousands of years, only Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang were the ones who really changed their lives from the bottom-level ants against the sky.

For the rest of the time, even if the people's hearts are in turmoil and there is no effective organization of the people's hearts, they are just being used by another organized ambitious person.

In any dynasty, the emperor and the powerful family, or today's landlords and gentry rule the world, squeezing and exploiting the power of the people, so as to rule the world.

To be precise, if an emperor wants to rule the world, what he wants is the hearts of the scholar-bureaucrats, the hearts of local wealthy families who appear without imperial power going to the countryside!

These people are the foundation of the dynasty's rule.

And his reform this time, the blade is aimed at the gentry and landlord who have begun to sing praises and want to rule the world with him, the emperor.

It's obvious what the result will be.

This is also an important reason why he has been reluctant to return to Beijing.

It's not that he doesn't want to rule the world with today's gentry, nor does he have to completely eliminate exploitation and corruption. These are obviously impossible to do.

The most important reason why he slashed at himself without hesitation when the country's destiny was just stabilized was that he didn't want Daheng to follow the old path of the past dynasties!

Otherwise, the population in the north has been reduced due to the long wars, and the cancerous tumor of the Ming clan was cut down before, so there shouldn't be too much extra land!

But now Jiangnan is also in constant chaos for a long time. After it is calmed down, the population will inevitably drop sharply, the land will be vacant, and the biggest contradiction of land annexation will be suspended.

In this way, he only needs to stabilize the interior and calm down the foreign enemies as in the past dynasties. Daheng will naturally create a generation of prosperity and have the foundation for the inheritance of the national destiny for hundreds of years.

But if it's just that, what's the meaning of his coming to this world?

It just added another Han Dynasty to history, and let the Manchu Dynasty completely become history, that's all!

Nothing has changed for this country, this nation.

But in this era today, outside of the kingdom of heaven, there is a world full of wind and clouds!

One step behind, step by step behind, and if you fall behind, you will be beaten, and if you fall behind, you will perish the bloody jungle!

The kingdom of heaven will also fall into the abyss completely.

In this era dominated by Confucian culture, it is absolutely difficult for the science that has flourished and sprouted to fully develop in this society where Confucian culture dominates and others are regarded as lowly crooked ways.

As the Son of Heaven, he naturally knows the importance of Confucian culture to the rule, and naturally he will not completely reject Confucian culture because of one-sidedness. After all, completely rejecting Confucian culture that has been passed down for thousands of years means that it will affect Chinese civilization for thousands of years. It will cause fatal damage, which is obviously contrary to the purpose he insisted on.

What he wants to do is to bury the old dross, transform Confucian culture again, retain the essence of Confucianism that belongs to Chinese civilization, and at the same time reverse the situation where Confucianism dominates everything, so that many modern disciplines can take root in this land and even flourish.

Only in this way can we avoid the endless humiliation under the absolute backwardness in history!

He is not a Tartar, and he does not need to suppress the Han people by suppressing technological development.

He also doesn't think that the Son of Heaven has to remain absolutely holy, and the essence of power can never be maintained by putting on a sacred cloak.

The ancients have already explained that the man with strong soldiers and strong horses is the emperor.

In the same way, Daheng's legal principles and righteousness cannot be brought by one who is ordered by heaven.

It is a perfect governing institution, and it has accumulated over time and subtly changed the hearts of the people, forming the true legal principles.

Of course, no matter how much he does, Daheng will never be able to escape the end of extinction. It is nothing more than the length of time.

But it's okay to rot the meat in the pot, but he doesn't want it to be snatched away by outsiders.

Moreover, the old order is deeply rooted, land annexation, government and business collusion, oppressing and exploiting countless people in this land.

He came to this era, stained countless blood on his hands, and now, he also needs to give these common people a way to survive!

Even if it is only a few hundred years of national fortune in the end, the legacy he left behind is enough to prevent this nation from repeating the humiliation, which is enough.

Only when the old order is completely broken and the old hearts are torn apart, will people get used to the new order dominated by him.

And this order may still have many loopholes, but at least, he is not ashamed of his heart and his identity as a descendant.

In this process, many, many people are destined to die, and it is also destined to be like the massacre of the Jurchens. The crime lies in the present and the sin in the eternal world.

Even if the wisdom of the people is enlightened, most people are still ignorant. They never see the essence through things, and they simply believe the facts they think they see.

He has become the eternal thief who usurped the country, and the number one tyrant through the ages, I am afraid he will also do his part!

"The playbook, have you brought all of them here?"

After pondering over and over for a long time, Li Xiucai spoke out slowly.

"It's already waiting outside the palace."

Wang Wu spoke up immediately.

"Send it here, you step back."

Li Xiu waved his hand, stepped forward, and walked towards the side hall alone.

A person of later generations, in this era, is like this.

There are too many things he wants to change, but most of them, no one can understand him, even including these generals under his command.

Under the limitations of the times, when Daheng is now a mighty military force and invincible in the world, naturally no one can know, and it is impossible to understand, the countless worries of his soul from the next generation.

It is also impossible for him to tell others that if he does not change now, it is very likely that he will be humiliated in the future, which is obviously impossible.

What he can do is to suppress people's hearts with power, change the order, guide the world, and walk in his direction.

Just like this sea ban, as long as he releases the sea ban, and then cleans up the filth of the current sea area, under the influence of the policy, people will naturally go out of the country and set foot on the sea, and after someone gains benefits and wealth at sea, it will naturally attract countless people. The swarms came, and the dignitaries under his command would naturally touch them.

Then, naturally, sailors are needed to go to sea, and powerful sailors are needed to protect the interests of the country. Everything, naturally, is a matter of course.

Therefore, everything needs to be changed and guided by him, otherwise, just like this sea ban, if it was to avoid Japanese pirates at the beginning, then who is it that insists on the sea ban policy?

Those who adhere to the sea ban have never been people who know nothing about the ocean, but they know the ocean too well, understand it very deeply, and know that they have a lot of money. They want to eat alone!

Strictly enforce the sea ban. Any proposal to relax or even release the sea ban will be met with crazy counterattacks. They want to use policies to prohibit anyone from entering the market, so they can enjoy the wealth of the ocean wantonly.

And this kind of moth, this kind of dross, looks everywhere in the world!

In such a world, it is obvious and unrealistic to expect subtle changes. If he does not cut the mess quickly, I am afraid that even the martial arts he has worked so hard to forge under his command will inevitably be eroded and corrupted...

"His Majesty."

Wang Wu tiptoedly led a team of eunuchs to bring the playbook, and made a sound respectfully.

"Put it on the table."

Li Xiu waved his hand, and when all the eunuchs retreated, Li Xiu looked at the mountain of playbooks on the table, his eyes flickered, he stepped forward, picked up a copy, and after a few glances, he became familiar with the contents of the playbook.

As expected, the remonstrance opposed the reform strategy and was thrown on the ground. Li Xiu picked up another copy, and then another copy fell to the ground.

One after another, Li Xiu flipped through the playbooks, but in the end, none of them could escape the ending of being thrown on the ground.

And Li Xiu's expression became more and more cold during the process of flipping through the memorial.

These memorials are either against the reform, or impeaching Liu Qiyuan, Shangshu of the Household Department, almost without exception.

"Tell me, what is the current situation in the government and the opposition?"

I don't know how long it took, when the playbook was scattered, the emperor suddenly made a sound.

But in the hall, at some time, a Jinyi guard stood respectfully beside the emperor.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, since the news of the reform came out, the government and the public have been boiling, and many officials have directly blocked the cabinet, yelling and cursing. Now the court is chaotic and almost out of control."

"There are also many officials in various provinces and counties who have given advice..."

"And...and..."

In the middle of speaking, Jin Yiwei suddenly dared not speak.

"And what, say!"

The emperor scolded!

"Moreover, since the news of the reform came out, a large number of officials have resigned one after another. Looking at their movements, most of them sold their properties and moved their families to the south of the Yangtze River. Moreover, many gentry and landlords in various places also acted in the same way, selling their properties. Moving the family..."

"Jin Yiwei has also captured many spies sent by the hypocrisy to spread rumors and incite people's hearts, and there are also many officials who are cooperating with the hypocrisy..."

"Okay!"

The emperor's face was as frosty, Jin Yiwei's body trembled, and he fell to his knees with a thud.

After a long time, the emperor suppressed the anger in his heart: "If they want to leave, let them go!"

"Don't stop anyone! Let them go!"

"Subordinates obey!"

Jin Yiwei hastily resigned.

The Son of Heaven stood alone in the palace, looking at the playbooks all over the floor, he knew that this was just the beginning.

No one is indifferent to self-interest being involved.

What's more, it's personal interests that overlap with class interests!

This time, he is the real enemy of the world!

……

Chapter 457 The Reaction of the World (3000)

"Lord Chief Assistant, Lord Second Assistant, please persuade Your Majesty, this is a policy to disrupt the country, and it must not be implemented!"

"Your Majesty was bewitched by traitors. Such a big strategy will bring disaster to the country and the people, and shake the foundation of the country..."

"This policy must be abolished, otherwise, the country will be in turmoil, the officials will be alienated, the people will be uneasy, and the Daheng River and Mountains will be at stake!"

"The cabinet is to assist the king and govern the affairs of the country. It has a heavy responsibility. It must not be implemented indiscriminately. Please return this memorial to the cabinet!"

In Wenyuan Pavilion, a group of ministers gathered, surrounded the current chief minister of the cabinet and the second minister, Lai Zongdao Liu Qiyuan, and the voices of persuasion were endless, as if they would not give up until they achieved their goals.

Although such a scene was expected, Lai Zongdao was still very upset. Since he entered the official career, he has always tried his best to avoid this kind of outrage. He never expected that this would soon return to his hometown Hey, he even got involved in this day's catastrophe!

This is not something that can be solved by meeting both sides in the past. The will and determination of the Son of Heaven are obviously impossible to change. With the determination of the Son of Heaven, it is obvious that he will not care about the boiling courtiers and gentry. The knife has been raised and blood is stained. How can it be possible? Put it away again.

And the hundreds of officials and gentry in front of him are involved in their wealth and life, their family's future, and the intricate and huge interests behind them, so it is obviously impossible to give in.

And he is the chief assistant of the cabinet, and he is caught in it, and then he can be both right and left, and neither side can be offended. Obviously, it is extremely unrealistic.

The emperor asked him to sit in the position of chief assistant in the cabinet, enjoying all the respect, and what he valued was his obedience!

Otherwise, with his usual official style, how could a practical emperor let him be the chief assistant!

But this time, if he obeys the emperor's order again, he will be cut off from the world. From then on, he may be the number one traitorous minister of Zhaowu Dynasty!

It must be criticized by thousands of people, and it will be stigmatized for thousands of years!

"The palace is important, who is making such noise!"

Amidst the hustle and bustle, there was a sudden loud shout, and then, I saw Jinyi and embroidered robes galloping towards, and among the queues, Li Ruolian came striding forward.

"The cabinet is the center of the imperial court. You courtiers, at this time, don't deal with political affairs in the various ministries, gather crowds to make noise, and ignore the court's laws. You are so courageous!"

After scolding, when all the officials were silent, Li Ruolian looked at Lai Zongdao, and anger flashed in his eyes.

It doesn't matter to him that this chief assistant hides quickly enough on weekdays, but this time, there was such a big turmoil, but there was no chief assistant to do anything. All the officials were allowed to resign, and the hearts of the people were turbulent, but there was no comfort, which made all the pressure It all fell on Jin Yiwei, this is not acceptable!

"Your Majesty's royal conquest has not returned, and the government is handed over to the chief assistant. This is a great trust. Now that the government and the opposition are in turmoil, and people's hearts are scattered, could it be that the first assistant can't control the officials and can't manage the government?"

With an almost questioning tone, he turned to Lai Zongdao nakedly.

"Why, Jin Yiwei, do you still want to interfere in the government?"

Lai Zongdao did not show any weakness in the faces of all the officials, and confronted each other tit for tat.

Li Ruolian yelled coldly: "None of Jin Yiwei can interfere with government affairs, but the palace is noisy and disregarding the law, Jin Yiwei naturally has the right to interfere!"

Lai Zongdao looked at each other coldly: "The cabinet discusses matters, the ministers dispute, and there is a hustle and bustle. Why, Master Li has to take care of this?"

"Cabinet business?"

Li Ruolian smiled lightly, then looked around at the ministers and asked, "Are even the seven-rank county magistrates eligible to participate in the cabinet discussions?"
