Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 563 Daming remains unchanged, is there a way out?
The words of Emperor Chongzhen caused Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu, Li Yan, Song Xiance, Niu Jinxing, Gu Junen, Du Yinxi and his party to show different expressions.

These scholars from the Zhili Disaster Relief Office showed a very indifferent attitude in the face of various problems encountered in Baoding Prefecture and other counties.

But what they see now is the Son of Heaven!
People like Li Yan, Song Xiance, Niu Jinxing, and Gu Junen are seeing the emperor for the first time, so they will inevitably be very excited.

Especially after being praised by Emperor Chongzhen and making them shoulder a heavier burden, the feeling is even more indescribable.

"I would like to die for His Majesty!"

Under the leadership of Yan Yingyuan, Chen Ming bowed to these administrative officials one after another.

"Don't mention the word 'death' at every turn, and let me live well." Seeing everyone like this, Emperor Chongzhen lifted his robe and said: "After you enter Beijing this time, you will go to Liaoqian secretly, go to Liaoxi to rule, and go to Liaodong. Served in the governor's office, and together with Sun Chengzong, the governor of Liaodong, promoted the withdrawal of guards and the establishment of a government in western Liaoning."

Ok?
People like Yan Yingyuan and Du Yinxi all showed surprise when they heard the words, and there was nothing to think about asking them to go to the west of Liaoning.

After all, it hasn't been long since Liaoxi was recovered, and many things need to be sorted out to ensure that the area of ​​Liaoxi can restore stability as soon as possible.

But when they went to Western Liaoning to promote the withdrawal of guards and establishment of government offices, they were a little confused. Could it be that the emperor wanted Western Liaoning to develop like Tianjin Zhili Prefecture?

Seeing everyone's reaction, Emperor Chongzhen said: "Speaking of which, you have been working in the Disaster Relief Administration for a long time, and you have opinions on the problems in the local area. You all talk about what you see. Today, all the questions about these issues are discussed freely.”

The Qianqing palace was extremely quiet.

People like Yan Yingyuan and Du Yinxi, you look at me, I look at you, many people don't know how to speak to the emperor's question.

After all, they encountered too many bad things during their work in the Disaster Relief Administration.

"Report to Your Majesty."

Yan Yingyuan hesitated for a moment, bowed and bowed and said: "During my tenure in the Disaster Relief Administration, I encountered serious problems, such as collusion between officials and gentry, collusion between officials and businessmen, local officials using power for personal gain, corrupting the law and so on.

Just like when the severe disaster occurred in Daming Mansion and other places, many local officials did not act, and blamed each other. It was not the Governor Lu who was in charge, and His Majesty set up a special disaster relief agency. I am afraid that the disaster will not be calmed down so easily. .

From this, I feel that the administration of officials in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty is already very serious. If the court does not rectify the administration of officials as soon as possible, I am afraid that such a situation will become more serious. "

People like Chen Mingyu and Li Yan looked at Yan Yingyuan in surprise. They didn't expect Yan Yingyuan to dare to say anything.

"Well, what about the others?"

Emperor Chongzhen nodded slightly, looked at Du Yinxi and Li Yan, and said, "Yan Qing is not the only one who can see the problem, right?"

"Report to Your Majesty!"

Seeing the Son of Heaven's question, Du Yinxi saluted and said: "The minister also found some problems, not only during the disaster, but most of the time, the problem of local land annexation is very acute.

Most of the bankrupt groups gathered by the Disaster Relief Administration were calculated and induced by some gentry, landlords, merchants and other groups, so that the land under their names was taken away bit by bit at extremely low prices..."

Li Yan followed closely and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, during the work of the ministers, there were quite a few groups in the local area. Because their own interests were damaged, they tried every means to restrict and obstruct the Disaster Relief Administration's work, and even incited public opinion." , intending to disrupt the planned deployment.”

Listening to what Yan Yingyuan, Du Yinxi, and Li Yan said, Emperor Chongzhen did not show an angry expression, and even reacted very calmly.

After all, what they said was an objective fact, and it was also the root cause that catalyzed the downfall of the Ming Dynasty, and it was a cancer that was extremely difficult to get rid of.

As a group of vested interests, even if some of them know that doing so will cause big problems sooner or later, they still know how to do it when it is time to do it.

That's what class does.

Human greed is endless.

"After summarizing what you have said, do you think the current Daming Sheji can still be saved?" Seeing that Yan Yingyuan and the others looked a little indignant after they finished speaking, Emperor Chongzhen said indifferently: "Or to be precise, facing these constraints And obstruction, should I, Ming, choose to compromise? Or should I choose to resolve it?"

The hall was extremely quiet at the moment.

Yan Yingyuan, Du Yinxi and the others were not the inexperienced scholars at the time. Their experience and beatings in the Disaster Relief Office allowed them to hear the deep meaning of what the emperor said.

"I often comment on a sentence in the secret memorial submitted by Lu Qing."

Looking at the silent crowd, Emperor Chongzhen stretched out his hand and said, "Solve problems when you encounter problems, overcome difficulties when you encounter difficulties, just like if Ming Dynasty remains unchanged, is there really a way out?
The answer is yes.

There is no way out!

Perhaps in your hearts, there are more or less doubts about Zhen's plan to promote the withdrawal of guards and establishment of mansions in western Liaoning, but thinking about what you just said, you can clear up your doubts.

If I want to change the bad government of Ming Dynasty, but if I want to change these things, I have to pay a lot of hard work and a price, and I have to do it in a place where I can see it, otherwise too many problems will be exposed, and I will face a situation that cannot be ended. "

Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu, Li Yan, Song Xiance, Niu Jinxing, Gu Junen, Du Yinxi and the others were all lost in thought.

What the emperor said made them seem to understand why they chose to promote the withdrawal of guards and the establishment of a government in the newly recovered western Liaoning.

"Northern Zhili is a place I can see, but the problems and bad governance in the local area cannot be completely rectified overnight."

Emperor Chongzhen continued: "West Liao is different. It was previously occupied by Jianlu, and the existing problems and bad governance, in a sense, were cut off by Jianlu's brutal rule.

Perhaps in the neighboring Liaoqian, the numerous frontier troops entrenched, and many generals in it, did not want to see changes in the west of Liaoxi.

But I just want to make a change.

The problems you raised, in fact, want to be solved, whether it is difficult or easy, the core depends on whether you are willing to follow me and solve these problems together?
If I do it alone, then even if I am a great son of heaven, I can't do everything, but if there are more talented people like you, then the situation will be different. "

Promoting the New Deal for reform is not as simple as it is said.

This requires a large number of groups with firm beliefs to exert their respective effectiveness in various fields, and through the way of upper and lower linkages, changes can be gradually made.

Yan Yingyuan and his group were the reformers chosen by Emperor Chongzhen.

However, in this batch of teams, how many people can go on forever is something that no one can say for sure.

After all, people change.

Emperor Chongzhen did not dare to make a guarantee, whether these people among them would abandon their past beliefs and join the conservative bureaucratic group one day in the future. There are too many, but there is no turning back when the bow is opened. No matter how many difficulties lie ahead, Emperor Chongzhen will go on steadily.
