Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

Looking around the world, there are a lot of people's heads rolling. All over the world, there are distribution teams who are shackled and escorted to Liaodong.

In the days that followed, this thorough investigation also followed the will of the emperor. Public opinion and the butcher's knife worked together, from the surface to the inside, from the shallower to the deeper, bit by bit pulling out all kinds of things left by the previous Ming. erosion.

But among the people in the government and the public, these days, the most talked about is not the big cases and the bloody storms, but the bad behavior of the sages and the Confucian government that has intensified recently.

Just as the emperor ordered, first, why the Confucian Mansion was able to continue from the early Song Dynasty to this dynasty; second, why the Confucian Mansion was able to occupy nearly half of the land in a province with the power of one mansion and one surname.

Of course, the second one has its own exaggeration, but just like the first one, many things are worse than piercing the veil of mutual understanding.

Since the fall of the Song Dynasty, it is no secret to the scholars in the world that the Confucian government has shameless kneeling time and time again, completely ignoring the words of the sages. However, under this general environment, no one dares to Risking the displeasure of the world, it's just piercing the sky.

And secondly, the Confucian Mansion is in Shandong, and it has been in the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years. It was originally a self-contained country. After Chongzhen ascended the throne, until now, for more than seven years, the entire imperial court has completely fallen into various internal and external troubles. In between, there is no power to care about the world at all, and the Confucian Mansion is also expanding wantonly in this disorder.

Up to now, Qufu County, where the Confucian Mansion is located, has already become the private territory of the Confucian Mansion, and most of the entire Jining Mansion is under the incomparable honor of Duke Yansheng.

Such a scene is not a secret in the whole of Shandong, and even in several nearby provinces, let alone these officials and gentry in the ruling and opposition parties, they already know it well.

All of this should have been covered up by the brilliance of the sages, but when the Son of Heaven used a big net covering the whole world to expose this matter to the bright side, and kept fueling the flames, it is conceivable that this matter, In the government and the public, among the people, what a big wave it caused!

No matter what big case, in front of the sages, all have to give in!

In the civil society, the scholars are fighting against each other to argue, and the common people are chatting and kowtowing in their spare time. In the court, the officials are already battered.

In contrast to the simplicity of common people and scholars, looking at this matter from the surface, if you insist on arguing about right and wrong, those who can climb to the court will naturally see it more profoundly.

It is precisely because of the far-reaching vision that the court is even more strange and even more despondent.

The existence of Yan Shenggong has never had anything to do with the public opinion of the outside world, and it has nothing to do with the bad behavior of the Confucian Mansion, but with the current emperor!

One emperor, one courtier, likewise, also a generation of founding emperors, that is, a generation of Yan Shenggong!

Everyone knows that Daheng has established the country for nearly two years, but he has not yet conferred the title of Duke Yansheng.

And at the beginning of the founding of Daheng, it was no secret to the ruling and opposition parties that the Confucian Mansion was double-faced and placed bets everywhere.

And now this storm of public opinion is spreading all over the world...

No one is a fool. Under the current emperor's rule, if the emperor is really unwilling, can this storm against the Confucian mansion spread to such an extent that it sweeps the world?

I'm afraid it was wiped out by Jin Yiwei as early as the embryonic stage.

It is obvious that this storm of public opinion was deliberately indulged by the emperor. It may not be said that the emperor himself led it.

All of a sudden, under the strange atmosphere of the government and the public, all the officials and ministers in the court had different ideas, and there were very few who really dared to speak out for the Confucian Mansion.

After all, they are now hard to protect themselves, the center of the court, strictly speaking, as long as the emperor thinks, the next second, the court may become a decoration.

And these courtiers... who dare to pat their chests and say that there is no shit under their ass!

The big case sweeping the world is far from over. The butcher's knife is still hanging over their heads. If they are not careful, it will fall!

As a result, the public opinion was boiling, the scholars were fighting each other, and the people with a little knowledge joined in the fun. Under the will of the emperor, Jin Yiwei kept fanning the flames everywhere, and even grandiosely exposed all kinds of evidence of the Confucian Mansion. Throw it out.

It even caused public opinion to be completely polarized, and there were not a few scholars who fought for this debate.

Especially now that the opening of a course to obtain a scholar is imminent, and the gathering of scholars from all over the world has made this storm of public opinion intensified, and it seems to be a bit uncontrollable.

But the most critical court hall, under the monstrous storm, was completely quiet. Occasionally, there would be a few iron-headed performers to speak for the Confucian Mansion. When the playbook was handed up, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, without any waves.

The Son of Heaven didn't react at all, as if he was completely indifferent to the public opinion that had already intensified in the whole world!

……

Which is more important in chapter 5 and one?

"The Son of Heaven...wouldn't really want to attack the Confucian Mansion..."

In the side hall of the cabinet, several cabinet elders sat facing each other, silent for a long time, finally Lai Zongdao couldn't help but speak out.

After saying this, the hall became even more quiet, and the other three cabinet ministers looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Even if they don't want to believe it anymore, the fact is that it is so!

They, the Son of Heaven, hadn't finished the last earth-shattering event, and there was another boundless disturbance here.

The problem is that there is no one who can persuade the emperor, let alone stop him.

What can they do? It is obvious that the emperor secretly manipulates them. Although they are important cabinet ministers and seem to hold important powers, everyone knows that they are just puppets in the hands of the emperor. If they follow the will of the emperor, they are naturally powerful. Against the will of the emperor, they are nothing!

If you don't remonstrate, then maybe you will really have to watch Yan Shenggong, who has been passed down for thousands of years, completely become history.

They are emperors who never give up until they achieve their goals. As for the price to be paid, when have they ever cared about this emperor!

What can be done, they do not know.

Liu Qiyuan's mind at the moment is not on the issue of the Confucian mansion. He has a thorough understanding of the big net that covers the world secretly. Yes... why did the Son of Heaven attack Yan Shenggong's lineage!

Business?

Thinking about this, Liu Qiyuan denied this idea himself. It is well known that the emperor's reform requires the collection of business taxes, even if it is to promote commerce, so as to increase the court's tax revenue.

But there is no need to start with Yan Shenggong's lineage. To move Confucianism is to move Confucianism. Although the existence of Confucianism hinders business, it is more important to the stability of the world.

So, obviously, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

He didn't believe that their emperor would not be able to see clearly.

Unless it is Confucianism or Confucianism that hinders what the Son of Heaven wants to do, and this matter is beneficial to the world of Daheng far more than the benefits of Confucianism and Confucianism to the world!

The advantages outweigh the disadvantages, the emperor will act like this!

"Where is this profit...?"

Liu Qiyuan thought hard, if he didn't even see the essence of the problem clearly, he wouldn't talk about solving it.

It really angered the emperor to hit him with a head, and it was nothing more than another knife.

"count!"

At some point, these two words were suddenly frozen in Liu Qiyuan's mind!

At this moment, he is also suddenly enlightened!

He got it!

The root of everything lies in the Wuyuan!

He had heard long ago that the Son of Heaven attached great importance to these small ways of arithmetic in the martial arts academy, and even listed them alongside the books of sages and passed them on to the students of the martial arts academy to learn.

And in recent years, whether it is the basic arithmetic books issued by the Wen Xuan Department, or the martial arts academy has held two arithmetic conferences...

Obviously, they all show the emperor's determination to promote these trails!

And what is the biggest obstacle to promotion?

It is Confucianism!It is the thought of Confucianism!

At this moment, Liu Qiyuan instantly understood the essence of the problem, but immediately after, even greater doubts also surfaced in his mind.

The existence of Confucianism was the choice of the emperors of all dynasties. It is obviously impossible for the emperor to fail to see the great benefits of the existence of Confucianism to Daheng's rule of the world!

Could it be that the interests of those small ways are greater than the foundation of the dynasty's national destiny?

While thinking about it, Liu Qiyuan stood up abruptly.

"Old Liu Ge, what's the matter?"

Lai Zongdao subconsciously asked, and Chen Qiyu and the two of them seemed quite surprised.

"I'm going to see His Majesty!"

Liu Qiyuan left this sentence without explaining the slightest, and strode out of the hall.

The three of Lai Zongdao looked at each other, and then, Lai Zongdao got up immediately and followed closely.

Chen Qiyu and Yang Sichang looked at each other, but they couldn't help laughing bitterly. They really didn't want to get involved in this matter!

However, they are both cabinet ministers and literati...

"Let's go! Listen more and speak less..."

Chen Qiyu waved his hands and got up, and the two of them, one in front of the other, also headed towards Qianqing Palace.

At this moment, in the Qianqing Palace, the emperor obviously did not pay attention to the turbulence in the outside world, nor did he care too much about it.

Throughout the dynasties, resistance to reform has come from vested interests, and vested interests hold key rights, and reforms require those who hold power to implement them, so it is naturally extremely easy to fail.

And under his current Daheng, messy system, the vast majority of vested interests have been implicitly excluded from the center of power.

Although it seems that this power structure is still operating normally, in fact, there are not many of them, and without them, the impact on the world will not be great.

After all, a lot of waste is waiting to be done, and a little more chaos is nothing.

In this way, the Son of Heaven naturally doesn't care too much about what happens to the outside world. What the Son of Heaven cares about is how to solve a new problem after solving one problem, and then, step by step, move towards the ultimate goal.

"After your Majesty reprimanded you that day, Xu Guangqi returned to the Martial Academy and locked himself in his room, and didn't come out for a few days."

"There were also many missionaries who wanted to see him, but they were all turned away..."

"Master Wuyuan Jijiu has also been there, but he was also turned away..."

"It wasn't until the day before yesterday that Xu Guangqi came out of the room. He lost a lot of weight, and now he is back to normal. Whether in class or in leisure time, he didn't mutter about the teachings of the Western religion anymore..."

"Yesterday evening, Xu Guangqi also packed up all the religious books and articles of the Western religion, and took them to the back mountain of the martial arts academy and burned them..."

The Commander of the Imperial Battalion, Ning Feng, stood with his head bowed, and slowly reported the matters that the emperor was quite concerned about now.

"Keep watching, if there is any movement, report immediately."

The Son of Heaven nodded, but when Ning Feng retreated, he suddenly raised his head and looked outside the hall.

Soon, an eunuch trotted over, and just as he was about to speak, the emperor's voice sounded: "Let them in!"

"The slave obeys the order!"

The eunuch was obviously surprised, but he immediately accepted the order and trotted out again.

After a while, the four cabinet ministers walked slowly into the hall and bowed respectfully to the emperor.

"You four, come together, this is a rare thing."

"Let's talk about it, what is the big deal that caused such a big fight in my cabinet?"

The emperor glanced at the four cabinet ministers who had gathered in Qianqing Palace for the first time, and joked casually.

The several cabinet ministers looked at each other, but in the end, all their eyes were fixed on Liu Qiyuan. After all, he was the one who rushed straight over.

At this moment, Liu Qiyuan raised his head to look at the Son of Heaven, his eyes became firmer, and he bowed to the Son of Heaven: "I have the courage to ask Your Majesty, which is more important, the way of counting the small road, or the road of Anbang and Ningguo?"

……

Chapter 5 Li Xiu is dead, only Emperor Zhaowu is left! 2600

As soon as this remark came out, the three of Lai Zongdao were all surprised. It seemed that it was a little different from what they had expected.

When can counting the small road be compared with the road of governing the country and the people?

But these people are all old guys who have been in the officialdom for decades, so their reactions are naturally not slow. Before, they were only temporarily covered up by the emperor's dazzling methods. Now, just thinking about it, everything has suddenly become clear.

But soon, doubts like Liu Qiyuan also appeared in the minds of several people.

Why?

Counting these small ways, what are the great advantages that can make the emperor shake the way of governing the country and the country?

"Which one is better?"

The emperor shook his head, the limitation of Confucian thinking is here.

From the word of this trail, it is proved incisively and vividly.

If the courtiers, and even the people of the world, really pay attention to these trails spontaneously.

Relying on its own development and evolution, not to mention that it is completely impossible, but the possibility is also extremely small!

Cultivate the truth to govern the country and bring peace to the world!

This is the inertial thinking of elite talents in the world.

To change this way of thinking, or, like him, risking the disapproval of the world and forcibly changing it in advance!

Or, it is to slowly reverse bit by bit after suffering losses again and again.

Even now, it is still the most powerful red-clothed cannon in the Daheng Army. It was purchased from Xiyi by the Ming court after repeated defeats in Liaodong.

If one day, strong ships and sharp guns come surging, and under the generation of weapons, he has no doubt that the thoughts of these elite scholar-bureaucrats will change. He also has no doubt that Confucianism will definitely be under the leadership of these elite scholar-officials. Subject to change.

After all, in the history of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, when the Han people were strictly guarded against, they were able to do things that would rather be given to friends than domestic slaves. What's more, it is still a Han country under the leadership of his lineage.
