My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 782 Going to the West, for the country and the people
"Your Majesty, the theory of countless sea states in the Western Ocean is just a lie to confuse the public, and the orthodox theory is what is said in the round sky. Please take back the sacred order of going to the Western Ocean, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, my lord, I have China's natural treasures, and I have gathered all the treasures of the world. Let alone whether there are countless barbarian small countries in the West. Even if there are, how can I travel to the West to make friends with all nations?"

"The minister also agrees. Your majesty ordered the household department to collect good wood for shipbuilding. I dare not refuse. I have nothing to say for Xingjiang's naval division. But it is absurd for your majesty to build a ship to go to the west. I hope your majesty will take back the sage!"

"I hope His Majesty will take back Shengming!"

Li Zheng watched with a gloomy face as more than half of the civil and military ministers knelt on the ground and begged him to take back his fatal advice.

"Reading is a good thing, but if you don't seek deep understanding, you can't apply what you learn. You can be in the second class, and everyone is a person who has read poetry and books. But reading dead books, dead books will not only harm yourself but also the country! The theory that the sky is round and the earth is round has existed since ancient times, and the theory that the sky and the earth are round has never been mentioned by famous scholars!"

"The classics of a hundred schools of thought have their strengths. You only respect the words of Confucianism, and ignore the classics of the other schools of thought. It is called respecting teachers and respecting the way, but in fact it is short-sighted! It has been going on for hundreds of years. Taoism is quiet and inaction is pedantic about heaven and man, political strategists are disdainful and travel around the world, legalism enacts laws to restrain human nature, and I do not deny Confucian classics. You have been admonishing me for a long time, studying Naya words and brainstorming, and today I want to ask I ask you, have you done what you told me to do, and abide by self-discipline?"

"Are there countless foreign countries overseas? If you don't go and see for yourself, who would dare to make false claims? Hearing is deception, seeing is believing. You read poems and books, and study classics. Why don't you remember this sentence?"

"Throughout the ages, all the emperors can only rule the mainland, and all their achievements and hegemony are accomplished on the land, and they rule the world, but whoever has ruled the sea, I don't want to look forward to the ocean. Not only do I want to be the overlord on the land, I also want to be the overlord of the ocean Overlord of the world!"

"If there are really countless countries in the West, and you bluntly persuaded me to prevent me from opening up the territory for the dragon, if the future generations can prove it, do you know how the future generations will insult you?"

"I tell you, it is short-sighted, Confucian scholars are wronging the country."

"His Majesty!"

Li Zheng took a deep breath and glanced at the officials: "The one who builds the foundation of the world should be the first to be the world, and the move to the West is imperative. If you dare to persuade anyone, go to the Imperial College to reclaim a vegetable field and plant the land. , apply your classic theory well, to eat the five grains, you must work hard first!"

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty glanced at each other, and none of them knelt on the ground dared to speak again to persuade them.

"My dear friends, if you don't have a memorial, go back to the court. The Ministry of Households prepares 300 million yuan for the voyage to the West. The Ministry of Industry must not slack off in preparing the coastal wharf! Going to the West, uniting all nations, and setting a precedent in the world, you will be with us. Proud!"

"I'm waiting to send you to Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, Uncle Tongyuan has returned triumphantly to suppress bandits in the south of the Yangtze River, and has now arrived outside the Meridian Gate!"

Li Zheng, who was about to go down, was stunned and looked towards the palace gate with unconcealable joy on his face.

"Xuan!"

"Xuantong Yuanbo enters the palace to have an audience!"

"Xuantong Yuanbo enters the palace to have an audience!"

"Xuantong Yuanbo enters the palace to have an audience!"

Looking at the palace gate, Liu Mingzhi let out a sigh of relief: "I went out to suppress the bandits last April, and it's already April of the next year when I returned. Time is relentless, and time is ruthless! Another year older!"

Song Qing also sighed with the imperial decree: "I haven't been home for a year, I'm homesick!"

Hearing the shouts coming from the palace one by one, Liu Mingzhi straightened his official robes and nodded to the generals behind him: "Your Majesty is waiting for us, don't be rude!"

"Order!"

"The Commander of the Minister and Suppressing Bandits, Liu Mingzhi, sees His Majesty!"

"Song Qing, the vice-general of the minister and bandit suppressor, sees His Majesty!"

"Cheng Kai, the general on the left to suppress the bandits, sees His Majesty."

"The general who suppressed the bandits on the right."

"."

"My love, no courtesy!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron!"

Li Zheng looked at Liu Mingzhi's vicissitudes of face and nodded lightly. It had not been a year since he, a close minister of the emperor, became less immature and more stable.

The battlefield is worthy of being the most tempering place!
"Your Majesty, minister Liu Mingzhi reverted to His Majesty, the seals of the commanders of the three armies, the armor and battle robes are all here, the seal of the imperial envoy, and Shang Fang's horse-killing sword are here, please take it back!"

Li Zheng smiled lightly and gestured to Zhou Fei, and Zhou Fei walked down the steps to take the official robe from First Young Master Liu.

At this point, Liu Dashao's title as the commander in chief of bandit suppression and imperial envoy ceased to exist!

"Your Majesty, it took more than one year and one month for the minister to suppress the bandits. During this period, a total of 150 rebels were captured, and the heads of the rebels were captured at 720 levels. The two guards lost a total of 510 casualties in this campaign. People, more than 420 people died in the battle! The details of the process are stated in the memorial, please have a look at your majesty!"

"Okay, present it!"

"Your Majesty, I have ordered the imperial envoys to inspect Jianghuai to investigate the case of tax and silver disappearances. There are dozens of officials involved in the case, with a total of 6203 million taels of gold and silver. There are eight governors of the state capital. Judgment at the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Criminal Justice! The details of the process are all stated in the memorial, please have a look!"

Li Zheng's face changed and he withdrew his light smile: "Submit it!"

"Yes!"

Sitting on the dragon table, Li Zheng carefully flipped through the two memorials submitted by Liu Mingzhi, his face turned blue and purple from time to time, which made the ministers of civil and military below tremble with fear from time to time.

When the incense stick was halfway through, Li Zheng put down the memorial in his hand with a gloomy face: "Liu Aiqing, you come to the palace with me!"

"I obey my orders!"

With a bang, a fine glazed official kiln teacup fell to pieces on the ground.

Li Zheng pointed at First Young Master Liu with trembling fingers: "Liu Mingzhi, this is the second time, this is already the second time, the officials who committed crimes against you will not end well! Half of the officials in Qingzhou were beheaded by you." Half, the eight prefectures under the Qingzhou prefecture had to be merged into four prefectures, and more than half of the Jiangnan officials were arrested by you, do you want to kill all my officials?"

Liu Mingzhi hastily lowered his head, not daring to look at the emperor's face: "Your Majesty, I was ordered to supervise the case of the loss of tax money, and none of the dozens of officials involved was clean. As an imperial envoy, it is my duty to deal with corrupt officials. Duty, what is the crime of the minister?"

Li Zheng frowned and gritted his teeth, sat on the chair and panted heavily.

"Corrupt officials, corrupt officials, I rule the world, who is clean and who is not clean, I have a clear eye! Do you think I don't know if their butts are not clean? But as the emperor, what do you want me to do? The officials in the world are corrupt There are seven or eight out of ten, if I kill them all, who will rule the world for me? Although the officials are greedy, the people hate them, but without the governance of officials, the world will be in chaos, do you understand? Once these officials in Jiangnan are convicted of crimes , the entire official department can't find so many people to fill the vacancies!"

"These corrupt officials, all of them will die with a wave of my ink pen. It can deter the corrupt officials in the world. It's easy to say! But have you ever thought about the case of the loss of Jiangnan's tax bank? Light!"

"All these officials have been arrested, someone must fill the vacancies! Even if there are officials to fill the vacancies in the official department, can you guarantee that the newly appointed officials are honest and upright officials? They are not desperadoes blinded by gold, silver and jewels. ?"

"You catch fat wolves that are full, but kill them and send them hungry wolves with empty stomachs. What if they want to be full? Isn't it fattening to eat people by corrupting the law?"

"Kill a batch of fat wolves and get another batch of hungry wolves. For the sake of the country and the people, I must have an account!"

Liu Mingzhi's pupils were dilated, and he knew that the emperor's words were wrong, but he couldn't find any rebuttal words!
