Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

"How could he, Liu Qiyuan, do such a foolish thing..."

"I understand."

Lord Jingguo looked at the emperor: "Even so, you can't let Liu Qiyuan check, Jiangnan..."

Before Yasukuni finished speaking, he was interrupted by the emperor: "If you don't let him investigate, who will investigate?"

The Son of Heaven patted Lord Yasukuni on the shoulder: "It's different now. There are already rules, and I have to uphold the rules. There is nothing perfect without rules. Breaking the rules is the real disaster!"

As far as this is concerned, the emperor didn't say much. General Wu Xun is the foundation of his rule. This is not wrong. As the emperor, he wants to maintain the foundation of his rule. This is also true.

But if you want a country to have long-term peace and stability, then the foundation of the country's rule must not be the martial arts of a very small number of people.

How smoothly he uses it now, how troublesome it will be if the tail is too big to lose in the future, and even... After the rudiment of the family, there will be great disasters.

Moreover, now it is different from the past. In the past, the world of aristocrats used knowledge and land to form an almost irreversible trend of aristocrats.

But now, once a powerful family is formed, it is a collection of power and economy.

And once there is this collection, the system will inevitably collapse, and knowledge and land will inevitably increase in this collection.

Aristocratic families who occupy the upper echelon of power and monopolize the power, wealth, and land...

In this way, even if the dynasty changes, it is easy enough to rely on the accumulated background to support the agent in troubled times, or fight from the dragon to gain a foothold in the new dynasty and continue to exist.

Han, Jin, Sui and Tang Dynasties, how many years have passed, how many heroes who suppressed the current world, can they barely solve the powerful world?

Even though the group of gentry has many disadvantages, it is definitely much better than the powerful family.

At least, the gentry came out of the vast majority of people and represented the vast majority of people in the world.

No matter what, the trend in the future is that culture is culture and martial arts is military. The current chaotic scene of civil and military affairs needs to be changed.

This has nothing to do with this eucalyptus. It can only be said that this eucalyptus just served as an introduction.

It's just that, although there is an introduction, when this changing trend will change, it depends on the emperor himself.

The Son of Heaven asked himself, he still has some years to live, he is here, no matter how he changes, he is under control, as long as he wants to change, he can change at any time.

He doesn't want to change, he wants to maintain the original, and he can continue to maintain it.

It all depends on whether Liu Qiyuan, or in other words, the former officials of the Ming Dynasty in the court, can see this clearly and find a good position.

In Daheng, there are Daheng's rules. It is impossible to be as carefree as in the Ming and Song Dynasties...

After a long silence, Lord Yasukuni seemed to have figured it out a lot. He cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that this case belongs to the local government. If it involves the military, it should be investigated by the Ministry of War and the Military Justice Department."

"As it is."

The Son of Heaven nodded, it is normal for Wen to Wen and Wu to Wu.

Immediately, the emperor added: "This case, keep those who should be merciful, and don't keep those who shouldn't. You can decide for yourself."

Hearing this, Lord Jingguo's expression moved slightly, and he bowed to the emperor again: "I thank you, Your Majesty."

"You..."

The emperor shook his head: "You just indulged them too much."

"People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, blindly indulge, they may not be satisfied."

Lord Jingguo hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I understand."

"As long as you know."

The emperor nodded, looked around the palace, and let out a long breath: "There are meals prepared in the palace, don't rush back today..."

6Chapter 17 The Purpose of the Son of Heaven

"All lieutenant officers involved in the case will be handed over to the Military Justice Department."

In Wenyuan Pavilion, Liu Qiyuan flipped through the collected dossiers, then took out a stack and handed it to the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate standing beside him.

The official was puzzled: "My lord, this case is His Majesty's order, and it is supervised by the three justices?"

The official's voice fell, but when he saw Liu Qiyuan's expression was wrong, he hurriedly said: "I'll go now, my officer."

After finishing speaking, he picked up the file and quickly walked out of the hall.

Looking at the scene of the official leaving in a hurry, Liu Qiyuan frowned, and a gloomy look appeared on his brows.

In the officialdom, many things are beyond one's control.

This is true even if he is the chief assistant of the cabinet.

In the pre-Ming Dynasty, the major events in the world were all in the hands of the princes in the court. In this way, there were many factions in the court, and the factions were constantly fighting. Among them, he was just a small person.

Later, with Chongzhen's ascension to the throne, he used the power of the army to clean up the court. The eunuch Donglin was cleaned up again and again. He and Lai Zongdao, officials who neither belonged to Donglin nor had any bad deeds , will be able to rise to the top.

Then, with the death of Chongzhen and Duke Qin taking power, he can still exist only because Duke Qin needs the court to appease the world, not because of his value.

Later, as Daheng established the country, chaos arose, and finally the emperor suppressed everything, and began to cleanse the civil servants and gentry again and again.

But it is obvious that no matter how many cleanings there are, it is impossible for the emperor to kill all the literati and gentry. After killing and cleaning again and again, the survival of the fittest will always exist, and there will always be literati officials who survived.

And these surviving people, in this environment where martial arts are powerful and civil servants are hard to survive, they must need someone to rely on.

And he and Lai Zongdao, the orthodox civil servants, will inevitably become the undisputed leaders, the heads of the so-called factions, whether they want to or not.

The Son of Heaven is obviously aware of this, and this is why Chen Qiyu fell from the horse, the former cabinet chief assistant Lai Zongdao resigned, Hong Chengchou joined the cabinet, and the Minister of Rites Huang Jin entered the cabinet. Obviously, they want to be divided and disintegrated by the general environment. The civil servants of the rope.

As for him, in the past, Chen Qiyu, who came to Zongdao, came to an end one after another. Whether he wanted to or not, he had already become his mother's unquestionable benchmark for civil servants.

What he does and how he wants to do it is impossible to do it just by his own heart as before.

Especially as the emperor moved his authority to the court little by little, he, naturally, became the object of the emperor's suppression and guard.

Whether it's the tax department, the city ship department, or the school inspector's office, they all share their powers on the premise of returning to normal order.

After all, although there have been countless purges, there are still a large number of ex-Ming officials no matter whether it is the court or the place.

And these people, even if he didn't want to admit it, under the current political situation, he was the last prominent one among the old ministers of the Ming Dynasty.

How can the emperor not be afraid and not suppress!

This time when the incident happened, he thought that the emperor would take advantage of the situation and target him.

Further weaken and transform the influence of former Ming officials in the Daheng court.

But when Duke Yasukuni appeared, he was keenly aware that the emperor's mentality seemed to have completely shifted from conquering the world to governing the world.

Fighting the world depends on the soldiers who dare to fight and are not afraid of death. The situation of the sky in the past depends on the generals who are good at fighting, leading an invincible army to sit in various places, and taking charge of military and political affairs. Suppress all dissatisfaction!

And rule the world...

Since ancient times, military generals have been in charge of major military and political affairs, either because the situation is critical and the strongman sits in command if necessary, or because the situation is about to fall and they have to do it as a last resort, or they are powerful families and share the world with the emperor!

Now that the world is united, although the country is not prosperous and the people are safe, it is also beginning to show signs of great order. Although the emperor is arbitrary, he also governs benevolently and loves the people.

The Son of Heaven does not even allow the existence of gentry and landlords. Will the Son of Heaven allow Wu Xun to be in charge of the military and government, and exist like a powerful family?

Liu Qiyuan knew that this was a good opportunity.

As long as you grasp it well, you can put General Wu Xun into a cage completely.

Wen returns to Wen, Wu returns to Wu, not as it is now, where civil and military powers are chaotic, Wen's powers are arbitrarily occupied by Wu, and even a considerable number of civil officials are warriors...

And most importantly, this...

It is also what the emperor wants to see.

From this time, the emperor tacitly allowed him to preside over the thorough investigation of the case, and also acquiesced in his getting out of the case, which can be clearly seen.

He wants to give the emperor the handle, as well as sincerity, not only what the emperor wants, but also the best way out for them, former ministers of the Ming Dynasty, or in other words, these civil officials.

Otherwise, although the emperor has to rely on them at present, the new officials in the Daheng order will grow up and be able to take on important responsibilities in the future. These people will never escape the emperor's liquidation.

but……

At this point in his thoughts, Liu Qiyuan couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed. Some things are really difficult to handle!

In Ming and Song Dynasties, scholars have been supported for hundreds of years, and preferential treatment has become a habit.

Daheng's preferential treatment lies in martial arts, but he is extremely harsh on civil servants.

Even, he risked the displeasure of the world and touched the foundation of sages and sages.

In the education system, non-Confucian learning is forced, new learning is inserted, and martial arts are inserted...

The Son of Heaven wants to fundamentally reform the thinking of the literati, so as to improve the general environment of the entire officialdom.

This point is obviously the place where Daheng and civil servants conflict the most.

It took only one year for the taxation department to go from its establishment to its trial implementation in the world. However, the school inspector office, which has been piloted for several years, is still walking around at the feet of the emperor. The fundamental reason is not only because of financial burdens, but also because of talents This is the reason for its scarcity.

After all, the emperor suppressed the world with power, but he couldn't suppress people's thoughts, let alone the fundamental thoughts that have been passed down from the Han Dynasty to the present.

To change, not only the implementation of power is needed, but also the change of the world environment.

And the changing environment...

The Son of Heaven is currently adopting a subtle strategy, that is, slowly cultivating, first cultivating a batch of seeds, and then spreading them out to gradually change, but obviously, this time span will be very, very long.

And all of this is obviously a very helpless choice.

The son of heaven was born as a warrior, and Daheng established the country with martial arts. The son of heaven can use a knife to force the Confucian family to bow their heads, and use a knife to cleanse the world's gentry, but obviously, it is impossible to use a knife to change the thinking of all literati.

Coupled with the identity of the emperor as a warrior, the massacre of the gentry over the years, the reform of the world, and the treachery of the world to shake the foundation of sages and sages, as a result, among the traditional scholars, the emperor and this education are very dissatisfied. hostile.

Obviously, the Son of Heaven wanted him, Liu Qiyuan, and wanted them, the old ministers of the Ming Dynasty, to exert their influence in the scholars, help the court, influence the general environment, and then fundamentally reform the thinking of scholars, thus changing the ideological situation of the whole world. environment.

Only in this way can the order truly return to normal, and the emperor will no longer have so many scruples, and they will not suffer in fear under the scruples of the emperor...

But to do this, he cannot do it alone...

What he can do is to influence other people and finally form a joint force...

"call……"

Liu Qiyuan sat up abruptly, took the pen, and after pondering for a moment, he waved the tip of the pen and splashed pen and ink on the paper.

A personal name appeared on the paper, and Liu Qiyuan's brows became more and more wrinkled.

This matter is really not easy to do.

If it doesn't work out, it's just that the two sides are not pleasing, and both sides are offended...

But this time, he accepted the sincerity of the emperor, how could he not show sincerity?

Just a little trick, the emperor probably won't accept it...

……

6Chapter 17 Agriculture and Commerce, Literature and Military Affairs

The first half of the sixth year of Zhaowu, although it can be said to be the second year when the world turned from great chaos to great rule.

If in the past dynasties, the country has been established for five or six years, even if there are still endless wars externally, at least the internal center must tend to be stable.

But in Daheng, where the foundation of the country is inherently unstable, this is obviously not the case.

Like every year in the past, although the center is not in turmoil, it is not peaceful.

A so-called tax event, involving culture and martial arts, continued to evolve. During the first half of the sixth year of Zhaowu, most of the Daheng world, all factions, it can be said that you sing and I appear on the stage. It is dizzying and extremely astonishing.

From a simple tax case, to the weighing of all parties, it touched the darkness behind the scenes, and evolved into a smuggling case that swept the civil and military affairs. Then Liu Hongtao's death took the so-called case to an extreme.

Originally, both civil and military were involved, and no one could please anyone, but Wen...but suddenly withdrew swiftly, and the blame was all on Wu.

This operation almost completely detonated the contradiction between Daheng's civil and military affairs.

In the Ming Dynasty, for hundreds of years, the gentlemen were noble and the military were humble, until Wu Xun followed the emperor and rose to power with military exploits. Even when he was weak, he completely ignored the superior civil servants.

The contradiction has already been deeply rooted.

And as Wu Xun became more and more powerful, until the Duke of Qin came to power in the Ming Dynasty, the contradiction between civil and military has been completely revealed.

The most fundamental reason for the internal and external troubles from the early years of Jingwu in the former Ming Dynasty to the establishment of Daheng was obviously not just because of the Liao Town of Houjin Mongolia, which was suppressed by the emperor's army.

The most fundamental reason is that when Wu Xun faced foreign enemies, the internal civil servants, or the landlords and gentlemen who were incompatible with Wu Xun, made troubles frantically, and even conspired with foreign enemies.

This also directly led to the conflict between civil and military, which broke out completely and unreservedly for the first time in those few years.

After Daheng put down the foreign enemies, there was a frenzied bloodbath of the landlords and gentry, and a frenzied suppression of civil servants.

With the unification of the world in the past two years, the situation has gradually stabilized, and the restraint on civil servants and even gentry has gradually been relaxed.
