Can you live forever

Chapter 89 The Debate of Loyalty King, Su Hui of the Times

Any touch into gold is an overdraft of the future.

The method Zhang Zhixiang used was the same, because the confrontation between the two sides gradually became clear, and the next two days were very harmonious. After Zhang Zhixiang finished speaking "The Origin of the Body", the gate of Chengtianmen finally opened.

A carriage drove out slowly.

Jin Yiwei Zhenfu Zhao Kerong invited Zhang Zhixiang to board the carriage and went to the meeting alone.

The carriage drove to the Qianqing Palace before stopping.

Zhang Zhixiang got out of the car, glanced at the plaque on the palace, then calmly stepped up the steps and walked into the palace, not paying any attention to the frosty soldiers on both sides.

Yang Tinghe sat behind the desk that originally belonged to the emperor, flipped through the memorial and said calmly, "I never thought you would dare to come alone."

Zhang Zhixiang didn't answer him.

Instead, he asked: "Compared to the two great emperors Hongwu and Yongle, do you think you are qualified to sit in this position?"

Qianqing Palace is the emperor's bedroom.

This desk was also used by Emperor Hongwu and Yongle.

Yang Tinghe smiled indifferently, and said: "The great emperor you mentioned is nothing more than a single husband who takes the power of the world into one hand, vents his desires to the world, and embraces the achievements of the world in his arms."

"You talk about Hongwu, you talk about those great achievements, but you don't talk about the people who sacrificed under those great achievements."

"You attribute the prosperous age to the emperor alone, but ignore those courtiers who work hard for the world. We work hard for the governance of the world, but Taizu guards us more than thieves. He regards us as enemies, and he will come to us if he calls us. Otherwise, go."

"There is no such reason in the world."

"If the king treats his ministers like brothers and feet, then his ministers will treat him like his heart; if he treats his ministers like dogs and horses, then his ministers will treat him like a countryman; if he treats his ministers like dirt, then his ministers will treat him like a bandit."

"Don't talk about living in Qianqing Palace, use Hongwu's desk."

"I even wanted to dig Hongwu's tomb."

Rebellious remarks are enough to destroy the nine clans. Of course, the emperor has killed them all. Yang Tinghe naturally has no fear of death. He has his own reasons and sneers at those who are loyal to the emperor and patriotic.

"The emperor is a single husband, so what are you? Silverfish?"

"No, silverfish are not as ugly as you."

The extremes of things will reverse, the end of power, the end of personal self-interest, the emperor is on the side of the people, because the rise and fall of the emperor and the country share the same honor and disgrace.

And these literati and bureaucrats can "the water is too cold", just welcome the master Wang.

If you change the court, you will be an official.

They have always only cared about their own interests. Every dynasty ended in the struggle between the emperor and these people. The most expressive thing is land annexation.

When these people annex the land to a certain extent, the dynasty will collapse.

No emperor wishes to perish.

The stronger the country, the greater the authority of the emperor. Therefore, every emperor hopes that the country can be strong. Of course, he must first be an emperor, not a chief of the Qing Dynasty.

In most cases, the interests of the emperor and the people are the same.

Zhang Zhixiang wants to help the world and save the people, so he is a natural imperialist party, especially after seeing enough of the greedy and domineering gentry and wealthy businessmen, and seeing clearly how they emptied the country step by step.

His dislike for these people has reached its peak.

Yang Tinghe raised his eyebrows and said: "It's really sharp words. We still maintain the governance of this country. If, as you said, all the power is in the hands of the emperor, then if there is a foolish king, the country will be destroyed in an instant. dead?"

But Zhang Zhixiang asked strangely: "Since ancient times, has the faint king been able to control the imperial power?"

Yang Tinghe was taken aback for a moment, then laughed out loud.

Yes, how can a foolish emperor hold power? Every emperor has nothing more than a name. Power comes from controlling the world. An emperor who cannot control the world will always be a puppet of powerful ministers.

And an emperor who can control the world, even if he is a tyrant, will do more good than harm.

For example, the most representative tyrant-Shi Huang.

"It's really a wonderful debate. If Jiajing heard it, he would be very pleased." Yang Tinghe patted Zhang Zhixiang's shoulder, on the surface it was praise, but in fact it was ridicule.

"No, you're wrong again."

Zhang Zhixiang said very calmly: "I have never sided with the king, I am with the people. If the king and the people have the same interests, I will help the king. If the king and the people's interests are at odds, I will oppose the king. That's all. "

"Centralization of power is in the interests of the people."

"It doesn't matter whether the centralized system is an imperial system or not."

"What I support is centralization."

"And you, are the separation of powers."

Yang Tinghe nodded thoughtfully, and he said strangely: "What you have done is more like a Confucian scholar than a Taoist priest."

Zhang Zhixiang turned around, looked at the empty palace, and said, "Let's not say that the three religions are one, but just practice, which is the most important word, but there are eggs in the nest?"

"The world is drowning, the people are hanging upside down, and the whole world is mourning. Where...is there a pure land?"

"If you can still calm down like this, is your heart really quiet?"

"That's not static, that's dead."

Yang Tinghe also accompanied Zhang Zhixiang to look at the palace outside the door, he stood with his hands behind his back, and said indifferently: "If you ask for this true tranquility, you will never be able to be tranquil for the rest of your life."

"The world is big and there are many people."

"You can't manage it."

Zhang Zhixiang let out a breath and said, "I never thought I could save the world, just do what I can, and just feel at ease."

Yang Tinghe nodded, as he was satisfied with his understanding of Zhang Zhixiang.

The two stopped discussing these things. Before asking about the method of disaster relief, Yang Tinghe asked one last question: "It is said that you are the reincarnation of an immortal, and the old man also thinks that you have Su Hui. So, who was your previous life?"

Zhang Zhixiang was silent for a while, then said: "I am not from the past life, but from the future life."

"Oh?"

Yang Tinghe became interested, and asked with a smile: "In the history, how do you evaluate the old man?"

Zhang Zhixiang smiled sarcastically, and said: "I am an upright official. Although he is a minister, he lives in a humble place. He cares about people's livelihood and sufferings, and is deeply loved by the people. He has been knowledgeable and upright throughout his life. He actively advocates the New Deal and contributes to the Ming Dynasty." ZTE played a positive role."

"That's it..."

Yang Tinghe sighed, but didn't ask any more, but said: "Then, let me see, this comes from the method of turning stone into gold from later generations."

"Please!"

Yang Tinghe could understand where Zhang Zhixiang's wisdom came from.His history is longer than theirs, and has more wisdom of the times...

Zhang Zhixiang's method is also very simple.

It is nothing more than the word "government bond". Exchange uncredited banknotes for government bonds endorsed by the imperial court. They can be exchanged immediately, or they can be exchanged for three-year, five-year, or ten-year national bonds, with interest every year. , and receive it together when exchanging.

The Ministry of Household money is not enough.

However, there will definitely be people in the market who will buy treasury bonds, even at a higher price than the original price...

It is true that the money has to come from the imperial court, but after the first time, there can be a second, third, and many times. From then on, they have the ability to issue national debt.

This is not even available in the capital.

Because they had a debt of 1300 million taels at the beginning, and also a credit of 1300 million taels. The money that should not have been borne by the court, the court has assumed it, isn't it enough credit?
and so.

What Zhang Zhixiang sold to Yang Tinghe and the Nanjing court was 1300 million taels of credit, not debt.
