Chapter 331: My grandson is the Prince of Peace

When Hu Guang said that, he couldn’t help but pale in his heart.

He found himself unclean.

There are no impermeable walls in the world.

His playing right today, as long as the word gets out, will definitely cause shock waves.

He didn’t have Yang Rong’s determination to make a clean break with it.

But he had to accompany Yang Rong and become a target for many people to vent their anger.

But what can be done?

You can’t lie to people, can you?

And after listening to Yang Rong and Hu Guang.

Silence fell again in the temple.

Zhu paced and paced more furiously as he fell into deep thought.

Several times the taxes, a better life for the people, and above all …… a good family.

The Good Soldiers were the most feared force in almost any dynasty, such as the six-county Good Soldiers of the Han Dynasty, and the Household Soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

Not to say that the Han Dynasty’s six counties of good family, let’s say that this government soldiers, the early Tang Dynasty when the first set of government soldiers in six households above the medium, the family has three Ding, choose the material strength of a person, exempt from the body of the rent mediocrity transfer, the county magistrate farm gap teach test read. Soldier battle clothes pack oxen and donkeys and humble food purpose storage, six families to save, raise training, as children.

That is to say, the government soldiers were almost always selected from among the sons and daughters whose families owned land, and only these people had better physical strength, and had the ambition to protect their families and build up the country.

This is the reason why the Han and Tang dynasties had strong and invincible armies.

But whether it’s the Han or the Tang, the soldiers they pick are actually a minority, and the Han Dynasty is just a major six-county area. And the Tang Dynasty? The area of the selected prefectural soldiers is actually not that big.

But a district of nine counties in Taiping Province, hundreds of thousands of households, these hundreds of thousands of households …… can all be good children, this is what a terrible thing.

With the tax sources opened up, the government and the court have enough money and food, and with conscription and organization, what kind of power will burst forth?

It’s not that Zhu doesn’t understand this.

He frowned, his eyes involuntarily looked again at the money and grain book that Yang Rong had brought back, and muttered under his breath, “Two million six hundred and seventy seven thousand stones …… Two million six hundred and seventy seven thousand stones, the power of one government, far exceeding that of Nan Zhili.”

What about the world?

Zhu Di’s gaze then swept towards the Jin Youzi people and others.

Kim Youzi and the others looked both shocked and seemed vaguely worried.

This is actually understandable …… They are clear that His Majesty s heart is moved, but they are also clear that behind this great benefit, what is the price paid.

They are the price.

Yang Rong’s words were so counter-intuitive, it was literally counter-intuitive, that he actually turned against himself.

But others, although they are also beginning to vaguely realize that this may be good governance for the good of the country and the good of the people, it may not be a good choice.

Just in the dead silence.

Zhu Di said, “What do the ministers …… think?”

“The Taiping Mansion should be honored!” Jin Youzi said, “Your Majesty, the Taiping Mansion can be what it is today thanks to Duke Wei, who can be said to have done a great deal of good, so Your Majesty should greatly honor it.”

Zhu Di frowned, “Do the ministers think so too?”

“Yes.” Natsubara Yoshi and the others said.

Zhu flicked his sleeve, but then looked at Yang Rong.

“What does Secretary Yang think?”

Yang Rong pondered for a moment, before saying: ”The Duke of Wei is a great credit since, what he did, is to open a precedent, the implementation of new policies. But I thought …… that this is not unrelated to the upper and lower officials in the House. Taiping Province can have today, is the result of the people and the military to work together, can not take credit for one person?”

“……”

Suffocation.

Everyone looked at Yang Rong in confusion.

On the surface, it seems as if the ministers have praised Zhang Anshi, but in fact, it is just to use Zhang Anshi’s credit to cover up the exception theory of Taipingfu.

It is precisely because of the presence of Zhang Anshi in Taipingfu that this set is played, and without Zhang Anshi in other places, naturally, it is better not to implement the New Deal.

Yang Rong, on the other hand, directly refuted it, Zhang Anshi is to put forward the idea, and is the advocate and implementer of the new policy, but the lower officials, from his observation, obviously all heart. At least under a whole set of assessment system, and incentive system, the situation in Taipingfu has been greatly improved.

It would be unfair and unexplainable to attribute it to just one person.

Zhu Di has obviously known the ministers’ strings for a long time, and also heard Yang Rong’s strings.

He said with deliberation, “What I am concerned about is that there are too few peace houses in the world.”

“Your Majesty.” Jin Youzi thought for a moment and said, “Ruling a big country is like cooking a small food, the initiative of the Taiping government is really impressive, I thought …… that I should observe one or two more times, so as to ensure that it is foolproof.”

Zhu Di then smiled coldly and said, “Is that so? In that case, then what about the Huai’an and Fengyang prefectures, how will they be disposed of?”

He asked directly in return.

Since …… Taipingfu can resist the drought, and also under the great drought, it can carry on the increase of production, and make sure that there are no thieves and stragglers.

Then …… the wailing of the other provinces is instead giving the court evidence of guilt.

Once upon a time it was at best an act of God, and at even the heavier end of the spectrum, it could be called incompetence.

But now with the Peace House, it’s not too much of a stretch to say they’re committing a crime.

Zhu Di looked at Jin Youzi aggressively and continued, “Secretary Jin, come and tell me, is it possible to ignore the fact that all the governments are like this?”

Jin Youzi was stared at by Zhu Di’s gaze for a while, the heart is not enough to say, “Should …… should reprimand them ……”

Zhu said with a few hints of mockery, “Shinning?”

Immediately afterward, Zhu Di was furious: “Because of their incompetence, and heavy losses, many people, starving, many people’s homes are broken, on the district of a shenzhen?”

Zhu Di then looked at Jin Chun: “Qing is the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, can there be advice?”

Jinchun spat out two words, “Depose!”

Zhu Di is even more dry, said, “All played to report the reduction of production of the governor, governor county, all deposed ……”

When Zhu said this, everyone’s heart was in shock.

Like this direct one net play, how all feel …… like Taizu high emperor?

Zhu Di also said: “And then …… they mutilated the people, I can tolerate, heaven can forgive? These acts against heaven, especially hateful, I lightly forgive them, the law of the land is not tolerated, their children and grandchildren …… are mandarins.”

The hearts of the people were again in awe.

This is clearly a widening of the blow.

And it’s too hard a hand.

The dismissal was only for individuals, but in reality, the blow was actually limited for families in this era.

Because an outstanding individual is also only a member of the family, the families of such outstanding talents often have a set of so-called cultivation and study methods to pass on the family name. Through the clan school and other means, they constantly select people from their generations of children for the imperial examinations, thus revitalizing the family business.

Deposing an official is nothing more than a lesser amount of heart and soul that has been cultivated.

And the children and grandchildren, as usual, there are a large number of successful people, still can still maintain the family business.

But to directly make his children and grandchildren all mandarins, this is the same as directly cutting off their path of ascent, and it is utterly desperate.

Zhu Di said, “Why don’t you say anything? What does Secretary Yang think?”

Zhu didn’t ask the others because he knew that if he asked the others, they would surely plead for mercy.

And Zhu already did not want to engage in a tug-of-war with them, directly asking Yang Rong, in fact, is also a kind of test.

Yang Rong said, “The remnants of the people are like this, and His Majesty has already been extra-legal.”

Zhu Di rejoiced, eyebrows raised: “Yes extremely, what Yang Qing said, is just what I want …… just …… deposed so many officials …… and how to make up for it? Hey …… I am old …… let the crown prince …… decide.”

After a pause, Zhu Di went on to say: “Let the crown prince to consult the views of Zhang Qing, he is the crown prince, can not dictate, to open up the road of speech.”

The words have been spoken, and they are actually quite clear.

Nine out of ten of these deposed officials were promoted and replaced by the Crown Prince and Zhang Anshi, by decision.

Zhang Anshi, needless to say, and Zhu Di suddenly pulled out the crown prince.

Obviously it is …… Zhu Di thinks that Taipingfu is doing a good job. It is best to have more and more places like Taipingfu to do so, but a such a huge shift in national policy is absolutely impossible in the hands of Zhu Di, it can be completely completed.

Then …… pull the crown prince down, under the supervision of Zhu Di, under the supervision of Zhang Anshi, to draw up a satisfactory candidate, so that the crown prince will become the real backbone of the new government. And Zhang Anshi and Yang Rong, these people, become the minions.

Zhu Di knows that Zhu Gaoqi, a kind-hearted person, may not be willing to make such a resolute determination, while he is still there, first hold down the crown prince’s head and accept the result, then, don’t want to jump off the boat.

Zhu Di to seek, obviously not the moment, but his ten thousand generations of foundation.

Of course, this tactic of pulling people around is a must for the shrewd in the temple.

The rules of the game in the temple are the game of the many bullying the few, and if I am many, then great justice is on my side.

And Zhu Di apparently did not continue to state, whether the full spread of the New Deal, just this arrangement alone, in fact, has been very directional.

The unqualified ones were deposed, and those who filled them were all officials who had made meritorious achievements in the New Deal.

Hundreds of officials in the world, you can see for yourselves, I have drawn a line, there is a standard, you go wherever you want to go, decide for yourselves.

Of course, if you want to jump out against the New Deal, Zhu Di will never recognize it.

I only let Zhang Anshi implement the New Deal in Taipingfu, and taught him to decide the affairs of Taipingfu on his own. I am a filial son, and what I follow is the law of my ancestors, and have I had any decree that I should support the New Deal?

But in reality, Zhu Di knew better than anyone else that these promoted officials of the various prefectures and counties, they could only implement the new government, there was no way to change the course.

Because the most important thing in this era is the so-called origin, the New Deal origin of the officials, will be hostile. Everything they have is brought by the New Deal and the Crown Prince and Zhang Anshi, and if they want to continue, they can only grit their teeth and firmly implement the New Deal.

Zhu Zhu s words ……… actually everyone understands what His Majesty means.

This is a huge endorsement of the New Deal.

But on the contrary, the ministers are all relieved, because …… at least there is no explicit change of state policy, which gives them room to turn around.

Zhu Di said, “Tomorrow, I and the Crown Prince personally go to the Taiping Province to see the matter, I want to personally praise Zhang Qing and the officials of the Taiping Province, in order to highlight their merits, Zhang Qingjia this guy does not come to see me, I can not help him, so I have to go to see him.”

Say it.

Zhu Di whisked his sleeve: “Today’s matter, on the discussion to this, with the grain of the Taiping House, finally is not to things to the point of no return, the Secretary when this as a warning.”

After saying that, without giving anyone room to play, he simply hurried away.

The ministers, each with a complicated heart, could only disperse one after another.

…………

“Lord Yang, Lord Yang, you’ve killed me.”

Hu Guang had a sad face, a look of a young girl who had lost her virginity.

At this time, Yang Rong and Hu Guang, had returned to Wen Yuan Pavilion.

Yang Rong sat down, gently sipped his tea, and then glanced at Hu Guang with a calm demeanor before saying, “How did it become harmful to you? This is what you yourself said ah, you yourself seconded my words, the mouth grows on your own body, now it’s good, come back to blame me.”

Hu Guang said aggrievedly, “You know me, I don’t dare to deceive the king.”

Yang Rong righteously said, “You don’t dare to deceive the king, but what you saw and heard in the Taiping Mansion, it was also you who had to go and see it, you saw it yourself, you don’t dare to deceive the king, and said the real situation, but then said that it was me who harmed you?”

Hu Guang: “……”

Well, he was silenced by the fuck.

Yang Rong said, “You, you think others are harming you, but do you know that this is saving you!”

Hu Guang was surprised, “This ……”

Yang Rong said: ”You have seen the situation of Taipingfu with your own eyes, such a huge change, just like a pearl, even if it is dusty, there is a day when it will see the light of day. So many taxes, can you fake it? So many people live and work in peace and happiness, can you turn a blind eye? Once these are discovered, there will be a huge controversy. Think about it, then how many people jumping feet, these jumping feet of people, must need someone in the dynasty to speak for them, slamming the Taipingfu, this person …… you guess who will be?”

Hu Guang immediately subconsciously said, “It can’t be me, can it?”

Yang Rong looked at him meaningfully, “I see the dynastic princes, most of them are smooth, their hearts and minds, can be said to be more than the eyes of the windows in this Forbidden City, only Hu Gong honest, being instigated and touted a few sentences, then feel that they should shoulder the mission of the world, to speak out for justice. ”

“But have you ever thought, once you say these words, and then be egged on by people, and use them as a gun that turns against Wei Guo Gong, what will be the consequences? They are touting you, not because they really hold you in high esteem, in fact, they just want to borrow your body to vent their grievances.”

Speaking here, he sighed and said: “His Majesty’s temperament, you know, so much solid evidence is in front of you, and you are talking nonsense, under the head of the countless readers and gentry for you to advocate, waving the flag, His Majesty’s first thought is what? It is you Hu Guang sells the name and sells straight, the intention is sinister! Have you thought …… about the consequences of doing this?”

Hu Guang said, “I should not fall for such a trick ……”

Yang Rong laughed and didn’t respond to this, only lowering his head to drink tea.

Hu Guang sighed: “Hey, it is really strange, why …… why the words of the saints are not as good as that Zhang Anshi ……”

Yang Rong said: “The saint said the great doctrine, but in this world, to use the great doctrine to do things for people, to govern a party, this itself is ridiculous. If the principle is useful, the dynasties, why are there so many holes? Why would there be so many tragic things?”

“Hu Gong …… Did we see on the way, is not it less? See those people, suddenly can eat and drink enough, can have ambition to live, should not be lucky? On weekdays, you always put the Qi family, rule the country and peace in the world on the lips, how come now, but the heart is timid? What, are you a Ye Duke?”

“I ……” Hu Guang was momentarily short of words, and after holding his breath for a while, he sighed and said, “I just sometimes, my brain didn’t turn the corner, I still need to think about it again.”

As he said this, he showed a conflicted and pained look.

Yang Rong, however, sighed, ”It’s too late, you are now a traitor to the country, just like Zhang Anshi. Of course, I, Yang Rong, am also! Prepare to be lambasted by the scholarly community.”

When Hu Guang heard it, he couldn’t help but choke in his heart again and couldn’t say anything for a while.

…………

……

“Taigong …… Taigong ……”

Li Xiucai sought out Zhang Taigong again.

Zhang Taigong remained calm and relaxed.

He sat on the eunuch’s chair with a flourish, holding a tealight in his hand and gently blowing on the tea froth, but he was not in a hurry to drink the tea.

When he heard Li Xiucai’s voice, he was obviously used to it, not a single ripple could be seen on his face.

Li Xiucai came in, then said, “Taigong, I heard that Yang Gong and Hu Gong went to the palace for an audience, and I am afraid that I will have to report on the matter of Taiping House. Yang Gong this person does not say, Hu Gong this person, but …… the most valued readers. He was busy, but also had personally written a persuasive text, teaching our readers to read well to advance it. I heard that Hu Gong and Zhang Anshi, has always been in the dynasty with the same fire, this time, there is a good show to see.”

Hearing this, Zhang Taigong revealed a smile and said, “But for anyone with a conscience, who would be willing to be in the company of someone like Zhang Anshi after seeing the lives and souls of that Taiping Province?”

Li Xiucai then nodded his head and conformed, “Yes extremely, yes extremely, I’m afraid it won’t be long before there’s a good show.”

Zhang Taigong hmmm, turned to ask: “How are grain prices …… now ah?”

Li Xiucai said, “Today fell more than seventy cents, the students came, did not even go back up it, but …… the students think that it may be that the previous rise is too fast, and now back down a little.”

Zhang Taigong stroked his beard and nodded his head, although he heard that it fell, some regret, but he was not worried, after all, …… the price of this grain has risen too much.

Zhang Taigong laughed: “The so-called water is overflowing when it is full, and the moon is full when it is full; self complacency is defeat, and self reserve is foolishness …… The words of the ancients do not deceive me.”

Li Xiucai thought in his heart, the reason is good, but also do not see too Gong you willing to sell grain ah!

Although Li Xiucai thought so in his heart, in fact, he is also quite jealous, after all, …… he saw with his own eyes that this Taigong has earned too much too much.

Some days ago, borrowed a lot of money from the money changers, and added a lot of positions, and since then it has risen for many days, so it can be said to be lying down and earning money.

Li Xiucai said, “What Taigong said is very true, and the student was taught.”

Zhang Taigong paused and added, “Is there any more news from Qixia?”

Li Xiucai thought seriously, before saying: “There …… is said to be a group of readers, to organize …… what harvest poetry will be held, is to pray to heaven to be able to harvest, so that the readers to go there to recite poems, said that . …There will be good refreshments, and this poetry into a person, the first place will give three thousand taels of silver, the second place to one thousand taels, even the third, there are three hundred taels. The rest of the outstanding ones will also get ten taels of silver. On top of that, all the poems that are selected as excellent as well as above, will be printed into a book and made into a collection of poems, so that they can be celebrated for generations to come.”

“This reward is high enough.” Zhang Taigong laughed, showing a few moments of interest instead.

Of course, the most important thing for the readers is to make their own poems, made into a canonical book, which is the opportunity to be famous in a thousand years.

Zhang Taigong couldn’t help but say curiously, “Who was it that made such a big deal?”

Li Xiucai then said: “said a scholar, but because there is an official body, so it is inconvenient to reveal the name, and now everyone is also guessing, talking, some say …… may be a public of the Wen Yuange, some say, so much love of poetry, perhaps it is the Hanlin Academy of Liu Bachelor! …… But no matter who, many people are rubbing their fists, can organize such a poetry meeting, must be a big man, if you can get into his eyes, the future …… good to teach one or two, also not lose a good future.”

Good guy, give money …… to print the book and give back the name, in addition to the possibility of obtaining the favor of a big man in the temple.

This is really the reading people are taken to death, this change who can hold ah?

It was even Zhang Taigong, who couldn’t help but get excited and couldn’t help but say, “I’m also slightly versed in some poems, so I would like to go to such an event to see what’s going on.”

Yes, Zhang Taigong’s heart is moved, he is so old, but only won a Xiu Cai’s merit.

Old showman like him, approaching old age, known that the imperial examination is hopeless, which is no less than a lifetime of regret.

But if you can be lucky enough to win an award of excellence at the poetry festival, it would not be a waste of your life’s learning.

Li Xiucai originally intended to go tomorrow to join in the fun, who knows Zhang Taigong also want to go, can not help but be surprised: “Taigong …… you ……”

Mrs. Zhang joyfully said, “How can I miss such an event? I’m old, and my days of being able to move around are numbered, so I’m afraid I’ll regret it for the rest of my life if I miss such a good opportunity.”

Since Li Xiucai could not refuse, he had to say, “In that case, then the student will go with you, Taigong.”

Immediate engagement.

Zhang Taigong happily waited all night, always feeling that the night was too short.

The next morning, they got up early to freshen up, and then let someone go to call Li Xiucai, immediately into the trip.

……

Zhu Di in the Forbidden City, this night, but also sleep is not very solid.

All night long, always tossing and turning.

When Empress Xu saw that he was preoccupied, she said, “Your Majesty, what’s going on here?”

Zhu Di didn’t hide anything from Empress Xu, and casually came up with, “Zhang Anshi, he’s done bad things.”

Empress Xu obviously only heard the literal meaning and was shocked, “It’s ……”

Zhu Di sighed and said, “Do great things, there is always someone to do this bad guy, Zhang Anshi he cloaked, willing to do this bad guy, I think about it, can not teach him to do it alone, the crown prince is the Crown Prince …… of this pot, he also has to carry.”

Empress Xu is not an ordinary woman, Zhu Di so said, will also hear a little outside the meaning, she did not say anything, only quietly listen to Zhu Di confided in.

Only to see Zhu Di then said, “Our father and son, born not want to enjoy the blessing of the two, now Zhang Anshi opened this head, then …… no one want to sell good.”

“Ai, I really envy Zhanji’s grandson ah, father and ancestor and pro-uncle Yu Lie, in order to change him to be a peaceful son of heaven.”

…………

The second chapter is delivered, and then explain, in fact, the tiger really did not break the chapter ah, more than 10,000 words a day, in exchange for other books, can be split into four or five chapters, the tiger two chapters will be sent out, this is already the tiger’s limit of the daily update, so it had to be updated, well, as if explaining the word is useless, honest code word it.
