Xinshun 1730

Chapter 112
Once the four conditions are met, the Tingyi vegetable market becomes a must-see event that is no longer studied.

Dashun didn’t have a civil servant group that seemed to have an independent will and personality that was twisted into one rope, and the Ming Dynasty didn’t have one either.

Even in the past dynasties, there was no such a seemingly omnipotent entity, but divided into small groups with completely different interests.

In Dashun itself, there are many different groups such as the Western Fa Party, the Conservative Party, the Northern Faction, and the Southern Faction.There are three immortalities in Confucianism, and some people really want to make virtue and make meritorious deeds, even if they betray their own economic interests.

It's just that Liu Yu threw firecrackers into the cesspit. If the firecrackers really exploded, it would be of no benefit to anyone.

Those who are seasoned in seeking the country do not want major disturbances in the country, especially at this juncture.

The West Fa Party does not want to completely ban religion and sever ties with the West.

Representing the interests of the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, they neither hoped for a complete retreat, nor did they want the reform of preferential exemption and gentry payment.

The northern faction, who were already dissatisfied with the large number of candidates and Jinshi in the south, did not want people outside the Wude Palace to occupy more quotas and power.

The two most critical preferential and exemption policies and the issue of Wude Palace's appointment as an official made these small groups with different interests feel a sense of crisis.

The situation at the end of Ming Dynasty was after the battle of Dashun Jingxiang, begging the gentry not to be traitors.Changed the slogan of Shuntian's advocacy to protect the world, and made a lot of compromises.As long as you are not a traitor, you can talk about many things.

The current situation is that even if you want to be a traitor, there is no way out, and the imperial power is naturally ready to sharpen its sword.At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was no preferential treatment here, and the Lord shaved his hair to be a traitor; now it is the land of the kings all over the world, there is no semicolon, if you don’t do it, some people will rush to do it.

For various reasons, they reached a consensus for the first time in today's matter, that is, to give in to each other.

The trend of association and discussion of politics is growing day by day, and all small groups in the DPRK have their own associations to control public opinion.

Once this consensus is reached, each of the different small groups will have to restrain their subordinates, and refrain from causing trouble within these four bottom lines.

Those who come out to fight against each other may not necessarily have evil intentions, and those who are downwind may not be heroes.

At this point in the court meeting, it has become a must-see meeting.

It is completely unclear who is loyal, who is traitor, who is selfish, who is really for the country, who is behind the scenes, and who is in front of the stage.

The emperor did not pursue it, and the ministers did not want the emperor to pursue it.

All reform items are not opposed by everyone, and not everyone supports them.

But once any specific clause is discussed, today's matter cannot be closed.

If there is an argument, partisanship will inevitably arise.

Many people don't want to see the situation of party struggle, because Dashun is already facing a dispute between the conservative party and the Western French party, and if something happens again at this time, it will be completely chaotic.

Regardless of whether it is against or in support, at this time they can only come forward and cooperate with the emperor to suppress this matter.

The emperor is determined to do these four things, and if he disagrees, the emperor can only split up and disintegrate to deal with major cases.

If there is really a Dashun Wutai poetry case, that is a scene that even the courtiers who are qualified to participate in the court deliberations do not want to see.

The condition has already been set out, and it is the consensus of various interest groups in the court meeting after compromise: don't expose the scars at this time, and bring it up later.

This consensus is no longer just the emperor and the so-called civil servants, but a consensus among different small groups.

Whoever crossed the line, the rest of the group would attack.

Check and balance each other and remind each other.

It can be considered that the emperor woke up the ministers who were still in the dream at the end of Ming Dynasty: times have changed.I used to be afraid that the gentry would be traitors, but now I don't have to be afraid.

Changes are bound to change. Those who support the changes must seize the time to build momentum and discuss the specific items of the changes; those who oppose the changes should also seize the time to build momentum and discuss the righteousness of opposing changes.

The peace and calm today is just a decent cover for the private ups and downs in the future.Not yet.

When the court meeting came here, the emperor stopped mentioning anything about the memorial, but finally asked some practical questions.

For example, who should be sent by the envoys to Rakshasa.

For example, how to solve the civil strife in North Korea.

For example, when the Siyi Hall was changed into a translation hall, various ministries had already selected some young officials to send them.

These practical issues of whether they are "in line with righteousness" will be debated on weekdays. At this time, there is no debate about "righteousness", but the details are discussed diligently and seriously one by one.

That memorial seems to have been completely forgotten.

It seems that it has never appeared or existed.

Today's court meeting was simply the happiest court meeting Li Gan had held since his return from northern Xinjiang. There was no bullshit, and all the ministers showed their working ability and practical level.

After the court was over, Duke Yi Liu Sheng was left behind, and the emperor summoned him alone.

Let's eat together by the way.

Different status levels, the feeling of eating with the emperor is completely different.Liu Sheng wasn't too careful holding a bowl, but it still tasted a bit less flavorful.

"The last time Liu Shouchang made a hot air balloon, I should know about it before you, right?"

Liu Sheng replied: "Yes. Not only did His Majesty know about it before the minister last time, but this time, His Majesty also knew about it before the minister."

This answer is expected and reasonable.Sure enough, Liu Yu made trouble this time, and did not discuss it with Liu Sheng, just like last time.

Li Gan thought to himself that with such a son, you should be worried enough.It's just that his idea of ​​change, could it be that he came up with it himself?

After thinking about it again, although this idea is novel, it may not be that no one in the court can think of it, it's just that they don't want to think about it, they dare not think about it.

"What is Liu Shouchang doing now?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I am busy learning to write policy theory."

Liu Sheng added an accent to the word policy theory.

"Oh. Policy theory!"

Li Gan also added an emphasis, and said again: "Well, this is the right way, you should practice hard. He hasn't reached the championship yet, right?"

"Yes, still a little older."

"If you have not reached the crown, then you are a child. If you reach the crown, then you are not a child. It is impossible to continue this nonsense. Since he loves to make such a fool, I am afraid that he will rarely dare to marry his daughter with confidence."

Liu Sheng knew in his heart that this was the emperor's point of reference for him, and that Liu Yu would be reused, so don't rush to decide on this marriage.

It's hard to say what will happen in the future, after all, your family is already a hereditary duke, if you reuse him again, this marriage will have to be postponed, don't think about using it for marriage.

"Quinzi has had some abnormal urine since he was a child. He was surprised when he saw a Western clock when he was young. Later, he learned more Western knowledge. In the past few years, he has done more perverted things, and there are some sayings that 'the Huns are not destroyed, they will not tell their families'. Minister I am ambitious, but I am also afraid of hurting others in the future, so I have never arranged a marriage."

The emperor didn't find fault, and said with a smile: "It's reasonable to hurt others. When I saw the hot air balloon flying into the air that day, I knew that your Duke Yi's mansion must be restless. It's just that since he is dedicated to the country, Even ten times more perverse, I can tolerate it. When it comes to wisdom eyes, I and Qing are not as good as Qi Guogong, he sees that this is the only one that can be used among his nephews."

Liu Shengdao: "Duke Qi went to Fujian back then and saw the benefits of Western ships and firearms. So he thought that there must be changes in the future, but the dog just happened to learn Western knowledge. The Duke of Qi didn't speak, but he tricked the dog that day. Your Majesty has the discerning eye to know the bead, let the dog go north, only then will it have the merit of size."

"Oh, according to you, you also think that the Western military system is the right way?"

"I don't understand Western knowledge. If I don't understand it, how dare I say it's the right way or the wrong way? Qi Guogong may not understand it, but I was shocked by the Western ships and felt that it was probably the right way. As for whether it is, it is hard to say. Gouzi also said , the Raksha people in northern Xinjiang are not the Raksha Jingying, and their combat power is not strong."

Li Gan nodded, admitting that one must really understand before he can speak of the right way and the wrong way.

"Qi Guogong played a letter, saying that the mission of the Raksha Kingdom intends to practice Western formations and artillery techniques. I think the intention is to demonstrate and perform martial arts. But you can also take a look. The Portuguese from Macao in the previous dynasty came to the capital to demonstrate artillery. It is for selling guns. Naturally, the Raksha people are not selling guns and cannons this time, but to show their force. I plan to appoint some people to watch their drills. What do you think?"

Liu Sheng said with a smile: "I think of a joke. A cow, tied to the peony garden, blooms in April. Ask me three days later, how is the peony? He said: It tastes bitter and astringent, as far away as wheatgrass."

Li Gan also laughed, and Liu Sheng said again: "If Your Majesty really wants to reform the military system, you can do so. If Your Majesty wants the support of the officials, how many advantages can you see in just one drill? Besides, those who know soldiers in court How many people? Play Lin Youyun, one moment on the stage, ten years off the stage. Even if you observe the artillery skills of the Raksha army, if you don't know how to train it, it is useless."

"The ancients said that you should not avoid relatives if you are worthy. If your majesty has the heart to change the army, you might as well try it with a dog. As for letting Rakshasa demonstrate and perform martial arts, it is unnecessary. As for my deterrent to the grand parade, it is also unnecessary. Beijing camp Although it can be fought, Quanzi said that if the Beijing camp's tactics are grand, it will be despised by Luo Sha."

Although he doesn't ask about political affairs on weekdays, he still has to say something when it really concerns his family and foreign negotiations.

Li Gan laughed and said: "In his opinion, the Guochao army has lagged behind a lot. Speaking of this, I am very relieved. He has been walking around the Raksha prisoners a few days ago, asking more about the details of the army. The Raksha prisoners In those few months, no one else went there except him. As for France and England, there were too many things involved, such as customs, tariffs, trade, etc. If you want to learn Western warfare, it seems that you will We can only get it from Rakshasa."

"Since he is an honorary guard, he was supposed to be on duty before entering the palace. I let him go back just to prepare him for the summer exam in the Wude Palace. But I saw him messing around all day, and it seems that he is determined to win, which is worthless. It can also be avoided."

"It just so happens that the Rakshasa mission is here, so he will be by my side, doing translation work. Firstly, the missionaries in the court believe in God instead of Dongzheng, so they may have selfish intentions; secondly, I am about to know more about Rakshasa. State affairs can also be used for negotiation and deterrence."

"From tomorrow onwards, he will stop making trouble at home, and go to the front of the palace to be on duty."

Liu Sheng was overjoyed, being able to be a close guard by the emperor's side was just a manifestation of future reuse.Just like the guards of Xijue, to be a guard is to be someone close to the emperor, so that the emperor can understand you, so that he can use it in the future.After all close.

Such an opportunity is really hard to wish for.Although the meal didn't taste like much, it was worth it.

Before leaving after dinner, Li Gan laughed again: "He took the lead in making troubles, and I fined the people who made trouble together. It's not easy to ask others to pay for this money, right? If someone helps your son to make trouble, you don't want to spend thousands of taels I can't even bear the money, and I won't look good in the future. Also, let's stop here about Chen Zhen. The hot-blooded young man is just messing around, and there is no deep meaning."

"Yes. I made a note of it."

Of course Liu Sheng didn't believe that no one was instigating behind his back, but the emperor said so, even if there was, there would be none.
