Ten Dragons Take the Inheritance

Chapter 448 The Stage of Storms ([-])
It was very late at night, and the snow kept falling, even across the thick walls of Kunning Palace, the howling north wind was still disturbing, Yin Zuo lay in the warm bed but couldn't sleep No, there is always an urge to let out a long whistle in my heart.Yes, the curtain has been opened, and the big drama is about to be staged. This big drama is not only the winner between Hongli and Hongyang brothers, but also the winner of Yinzuo himself, which makes Yinzuo feel quite A little restless.

It’s been almost 30 years, and it’s been 29 years since the beginning and end of this dynasty. Isn’t it just to achieve the goal of enriching the country and strengthening the army after years of waiting and suffering?Now all the conditions have been met, and it should be time to harvest, but this fruit is not so easy to harvest, and no one can guarantee whether it will be a real success.Innovation is not revolution. Since ancient times, there are still few people who have made efforts and even sacrificed in order to realize the prosperity of the country and the army?It's a pity that neither the top-down reforms such as Song Shenzong and Wang Anshi, nor the bottom-up reforms such as Zhu Yuanzhang have been successful. Either they have been assimilated by tradition, or they have been put on the shelf of morality. The judgment seat is drowned in the curses of the sour Confucians in later generations.

Cleaning up the government of officials and promoting new technologies are difficult things to say, but Yinzuo is not too worried. There are really only two things that make Yinzuo worry about it-one is the system, and the other is the fate of the dynasty.Institutions are the key to keeping officials clean and clear. To be honest, there are very few officials in this era who are really innocent. It is really impossible to clean them up comprehensively. It would be nice to be able to clean up a large number of corrupt officials. At least it can guarantee that the administration of officials will be relatively clear for a certain period of time. However, if there is no system to restrain it, the administration of officials will still not be cleared up after a long time.Poor Yinzuo only knows one name. As for the rules and regulations and operating procedures, Yinzuo is blind. What should we do to ensure the cleanliness of officials and prevent them from becoming the kind of bullshit spy politics like Jinyiwei in the previous Ming Dynasty? This is where Yinzuo's most troublesome problem lies.

The fate of the dynasty is related to the fate of Yinzuo and his descendants. How can Yinzuo not worry about it? It is true that Yinzuo wants to make the country rich and powerful, but he has no intention of making himself or his descendants rich and powerful Sacrifice, he is not that great yet.Constitutional monarchy?Not to mention that there is no real bourgeoisie in the land of China at this moment, even if the bourgeoisie in the land of China has grown to the point where it can participate in politics, Yinzuo will never voluntarily give up the power in his hands. Zuo still has self-knowledge.

Power is a good thing, once you taste its sweetness, you will definitely become addicted, even if Yinzuo is a time traveler, let alone his descendants who were born with golden keys in their mouths?If you can't find a combination of change and tradition, then everything Yinzuo is doing now is tantamount to digging graves for future generations.Greatness has its limits, no matter how great a person is, he will always have selfishness, not to mention that Yinzuo never thinks that he is a great man who is impartial and selfless, but he is always at a loss as to what to do, and no one can help him on this point, Everything can only be explored by Yinzuo himself.

"Your majesty, are you awake?" Lan Yue'er, who was awakened by the sound of Yin Zuo turning over, opened her eyes, and saw Yin Zuo half lying on the bed in a robe, looking at the palace lantern in the corner, hurriedly lowered her head asked loudly.

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay, I'm not sleepy, Xiaoyue'er should go to sleep." Yinzuo patted Lan Yueer's shoulder lightly, and said with a smile.

Lan Yue'er looked at Yinzuo with wide eyes, stretched out a soft barb to wrap around Yinzuo's waist, and said in a low voice, "The concubine has had enough sleep, why don't the concubine chat with the sage for a while?"

"Oh? Okay, hehe, I've been busy all day long, and I don't have time to chat with Xiaoyue'er. Well, when I'm free someday, I'll take you to Jiangnan for a walk, so I can see my splendor. Jiangshan." When Yinzuo thought of how busy he was all these years, and never had much time to spend with his concubines, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

"Really? That's great! Sister Feng is still talking about not going back to Yangzhou for many years. It's a weird idea. I will tell Sister Feng the good news after Ming'er." Lan Yueer was very happy. Said: "Ah, by the way, Your Majesty, when talking about Sister Feng, this concubine suddenly remembered something: Sister Chunlan mentioned to this concubine a few times before, that Gege Yixue had also reached the age to leave the court, and she Don't dare to mention this matter with the Holy Majesty, so I asked my concubine to ask the Holy Majesty, it's time to point out Yi Xue Gege to a good family, I don't know if the Holy Majesty has made a decision?"

"This..." Yinzuo couldn't help being speechless for a while, Gege Yixue and Hongli were born on the same day, and now Hongli is married, but Gege Yixue is still ruling the harem, which really makes Yinzuo Zuo has a headache, it's not that Yinzuo doesn't want to propose marriage to her, in fact, the Ministry of Rites has already reported a large number of young talents who are candidates, not only Xinke Scholars, but also those Mongolian princes and princes who came to ask for marriage, it's a pity that they came to Yi All Xuegege's tickets were rejected, and Yinzuo really doted on this girl too much, and didn't want to force her, so this matter just dragged on. God knows who this girl wants to marry.

"My lord, Miss Chunlan is also anxious about Yixue Gege's marriage, that's why..." Lan Yueer explained in a low voice when she saw Yin Zuo's strange expression.

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, I have pity on the hearts of parents in the world, oh, little girl Yixue, I really can't do anything about her, you say that a girl like her plays swords and knives all day long, well, I heard that recently She is also obsessed with shooting guns. If there is no husband and son-in-law who can control her, it will be a mess. Forget it, I will let her go. Let's talk about it when she is in a hurry to get married. It's getting late Go to sleep." Yinzuo smiled wryly and shook his head.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month of the seventh year of Yuanzhuo, the "Jingshi Chronicle" reported the Sichuan reporter Liang Kuanxiao's family being exterminated, pointing out that the Liang family was killed for exposing the Sichuan deficit case, and there were also a large number of commentary articles. Directly pointing to the deficits of the provincial governments, the article states that the deficits are no longer an isolated phenomenon, but a common phenomenon, calling on the court to vigorously rectify them.On the [-]th day of the first lunar month of the seventh year of Yuanzhuo, Emperor Yuanzhuo issued a decree to announce to the world that, in addition to sending officials from the court to investigate the case of Liang's extermination, he announced that Prince Yong Yunzhen, elder brother Hongli, and Minister of the Household Department Shi Shilun investigates the deficit cases in various provinces, and at the same time prepares to implement a nationwide system of sharing food into the mu and integrating officials and gentry.As soon as the edict came out, the world was shaken, and there was a sudden controversy over whether to implement the government-gentry system to pay food as a whole, and commentary articles of various opinions came one after another.

There was a lot of noise in the newspapers, but no one in the household department took care of those nosy matters. This time, the burden of the household department was extremely heavy. It was not an easy task to pay off the debts or promote the distribution of people into the mu, and the integration of officials and gentry. What's more, if the two things come together, it will make the officials of the Ministry of Households so busy that they will be dizzy. The meeting will be held for several days, but they still can't come up with an accurate idea. Prince Yong Yunzhen and elder brother Hongli didn't show up, saying they were all sick, which made Shi Shilun so anxious that his gray hair grew a lot.

On the [-]th day of the first lunar month of the seventh year of Yuanzhuo, Hongli, the "sick" elder brother, did not go to the household department to be a director. Instead, he left the city in a sedan chair to visit Yun Zhen, who was also "sick" at Prince Yong's mansion. went.

Prince Yunzhen of Yong seldom interacted with the courtiers since he was an elder brother, and the mansion was outside the city, so even his own brothers seldom visited his door. The gate of the huge Prince Yong's Mansion is even less popular, except for a few sparrows who can't bear the hunger and fly here for food, not to mention visitors, even pedestrians. They have long been accustomed to the deserted appearance in front of the door, and in addition to the cold weather, no one is willing to stand at the door to take turns. They all hide in the concierge and chat, and are lazy. The people in the gang are still unaware of it, and they are talking about the mountains.

Hongli, who was dressed in a silver fox fur jacket, a fire fox felt hat, and cotton-padded shoes with thousand layers of soles, walked up the empty steps slowly and appeared with a smile on his face. In front of the concierge who was chatting happily with the driver, the group of concierges kowtowed in fright, asking for their blessings, and busy walking around.

"Please go and inform Si Bo that my nephew Hongli has come to greet him." With a smile on his face, Hongli took out a few ten-yuan bills and gave them to the terrified concierges. After finishing speaking, he didn't stay any longer, and walked out of the porter's house on his own, standing on the steps under the eaves, looking at the gloomy sky and thinking about his thoughts.

"Hmm, this kid is finally here." The "sick" Yun Zhen was playing Go with Tang Guoming in the study, when he heard the butler report that Hong Li had come, he immediately laughed.

"Hehe, it's time to come." Tang Guoming smiled, stretched out his hand to push the chessboard away, glanced at Yun Zhen and said, "Since the prince is 'sick', he should look sick, or else it would be too unreasonable." Isn't it?"

Yun Zhen smiled, without any excuse, he said to the housekeeper, "Go, let Hong Shidai come out to greet you."

Hongshi, Yunzhen's third son, was born in February of the 43rd year of Kangxi. He was said to be the third son, but in fact he is now Yunzhen's eldest son—Yunzhen's eldest and second sons are all dead.The 11-year-old Hongshi is also born with a good-looking talent, but his figure is not considered tall. Generally speaking, he looks like a doll due to his immaturity, but he has a good bearing, which is not at all similar to Yunzhen's stern personality. The image is quite similar to Hongli.

"Little brother greets big brother. Big brother, you can come to the mansion, which really makes the humble house full of glory. Big brother, please come inside." The score is extra smooth.

"Yo, it's Brother Shi. It's been a long time. Hehe, this kid has grown a lot taller. My brother can hardly recognize him. By the way, Sibo's health is better. Why don't my brothers let Huang Ama send him Some imperial doctors are here, why don't you take a look?" Hongli was originally a handsome person, so naturally he would not be rude, he returned the greeting with a smile on his face, and said politely.

"Thank you, elder brother, for your concern. My father's illness is better, but I still can't get out of bed. No, I have to ask my younger brother to greet my father. Don't be offended by elder brother. It's cold outside, so sit in the elder brother's house." " Hong Shi smiled and waved his hands, indicating that Hongli would like to invite first.

Hongli and Hongshi seldom met each other. At most, they met a few times in a year, such as offering sacrifices to the ancestors and paying respects to the Queen Mother’s birthday. Naturally, Hongli rarely paid attention to those cousins ​​because of his status. They seldom tell those cousins ​​that when they saw Hiroshi at this time, they talked well and were well-mannered, especially their demeanor was somewhat similar to their own. Suddenly, he walked through the door.Hongshi waited for Hongli to pass through the hall, hurriedly followed, looking for topics to talk and laugh with Hongli all the way to the depths of the palace.

"Uncle Si, my nephew is here to greet you. Are you feeling better?" As soon as Hongli stepped into Yunzhen's bedroom, he smelled a strong smell of medicine, which was very pungent, but Hongli continued Without even furrowing his brows, he looked at Yun Zhen who had a thick white silk on his head and was covered with a thick quilt, and asked very politely.

"Oh, it's Hongli, come on, sit down, alas, fourth uncle is getting old, I'm afraid this body will be useless, he will get sick every day, alas, old, old." Yun Zhen said Said with a weak look.

Hongli apologized politely, sat down next to the bed, and said with a smile: "Si Bo, you are just at your age, how can you say you are old, this disease can't be delayed, and my nephew will report to the emperor when he returns to the palace. Ma, send some imperial physicians here, so as to take care of the fourth uncle, the Ministry of household affairs cannot be separated from your old man."

Yun Zhen smiled wryly and said: "The household department is busy, the fourth uncle knows about this, but the fourth uncle's body, alas, I'm afraid there will be a mistake, so I will ask the elder brother to help the fourth uncle to sue the saint later. Help the fourth uncle push the errand of the household department, there is a big brother in the household department, it will definitely be able to do it."

Hongli smiled, without saying a word, and took out something from his sleeve...
