Baidu otaku as Chongzhen

Chapter 623 What to do, what not to do
The city of Beijing, which has been gaining momentum for a long time, seems to be finally releasing its energy.

The tax dispute, which has attracted the attention of the world for a long time, seems to have finally broken the calm and begun to exert force.

Led by Cao Yubian, a group of officials began to directly attack the tax supervisor, belittling the tax supervisor for various wrongdoings, and demanding the abolition of the tax supervisor.

Yang Reform shook his head as he looked at the memorabilia of the past few days.

Since reaching a compromise with Han Yu, the situation has become completely clear.Cao Yubian, who might have done something in the first place, was disrupted by Han Yu, and his bones were extracted from it.There is actually not much energy left.Now that this kind of "trick" actually started the game, Yang Reform could only shake his head...

"Alas..." Yang Reform had a headache. In the decisive battle, Han Yu's opening method was just this. Yang Reform began to worry about Cao Yubian and the others, worried that the most undesirable situation would happen, and blood would splash on the court with death. .Yang Reform secretly sighed, it seems that Cao Yubian really has to think more about their personal safety, Yang Reform is very self-deprecating, he is really "useless" when he is the emperor, and he has to consider the opponent's personal safety Safety.

This book of memorials is all about the abolition of the tax supervisor.Tangled up a group of officials and fired directly at the tax supervisor. Apart from being outdated and powerless, this style of play can only be said that one's opponent lacks effective means.This kind of wrangling can be involved for an unknown number of years, not to mention that these people don't take much advantage of this matter, even if it is a wrangling, they may not win.Judging from the situation of the tax supervisors in Wanli that year, even if taxes were forcibly collected and tax supervisors were sent everywhere, the entire civil servants and landlords and powerful classes were united, and there was nothing they could do about the emperor. What about the dead tax inspector?There are a lot of eunuchs around the emperor. If one is killed, two more will be dispatched. The emperor has no shame in collecting taxes. What can you do?If the tax payment dispute is directly related to the tax supervisor, Yang Reform is really not optimistic that Cao Yubian will have any hope of winning, not to mention that the current tax supervisor is completely different from that of the past. It was forced to collect taxes back then, which is very disappointing People are disgusted. When everyone mentions the tax supervisor, they will naturally grit their teeth and have a common hatred. But now, the tax supervisor does not collect your taxes at all. No, you can hate him if you want, but if you use this to win others to hate the tax supervisor, they will only secretly despise you and say you are incapable; if you insist that the tax supervisor does not collect your taxes, it is oppressing you , this logic is always incomprehensible.

"...Big Companion." Yang Reform sighed for a while and called Wang Chengen.

"The servant is here." Wang Chengen replied hastily.

"Cao Yubian and the others only have these memorials? Nothing else? What are they doing recently?" Yang Reform had to confirm with Wang Chengen again, Cao Yubian and the others only had this memorial?No other notes?Didn't say anything else?At the beginning, Yang Reform thought that this was just an introduction, and that there would be other fierce methods coming one after another, but after waiting for so long, there was still no news. Yang Reform knew that Cao Yubian might have no means at all. The means have been increasing, it seems to be overwhelming, and it seems that there is a posture of not giving up until the goal is reached, but in fact, it is only entangled in this issue..., Yang Reform sighs..., thinking that he only needs to learn Wanli, come He has a stubborn face and insists on collecting taxes. No one can do anything about him. If he kills a tax supervisor, he can learn from Wanli and send another one. There should not be too many eunuchs in the palace, there are [-]..., the last sentence is Yang Reform To confirm Cao Yubian's status...

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the slaves have checked carefully, and it is indeed gone. All the memorials are here... As for Mr. Cao, it seems that he gathers some officials to discuss something every day, and it seems that it is just a matter of the tax supervisor. ..." Wang Chengen just felt wronged, but he didn't hide a notebook privately, and brought all the notebooks that should be brought.

"Oh, I got it..." Yang Reform secretly sighed that it was not good... Cao Yubian has been entangled in this impossible matter of winning, and he is afraid that it was Han Yu who said it, and he intends to seek death.

"Oh, that's the only way to go..." Yang Reform thought for a while, and felt that he still had to find a way out for Cao Yubian, or don't push them too hard. The fight should be ended in time. End this battle as soon as possible, otherwise, even if Cao Yubian continues to develop like this, he may have nowhere to go except to bump into the hall. At that time, it will not only be Cao Yubian's tragedy, but also his own tragedy. I splashed all the sewage on my body, and I couldn't even wash it off.

"Big companion, go and call Mr. Han Ge, I have something to do..." Yang Reform had no choice but to call Han Yu and ask him about Cao Yubian's specific movements. This guy promised to persuade those people, but with his current posture, I'm afraid I can't stop the car!
"Slave obeys the decree!" Wang Chengen promised, and soon went to deliver the decree.

……

In the warm pavilion, Han Yu also came to see the emperor with a depressed expression on his face. After paying his respects, Yang Reform asked directly.

"How is the Qing family's persuasion going? Is it effective?" Yang Reform asked this directly.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the minister is really incompetent..." Han Yu replied with some shame. Now he and Cao Yubian were almost on the verge of a public breakup. When he turned around, he took away Cao Yubian's bones and took Cao Yubian away. The forces around Yu Bian became a group of "two-footed party", which can be regarded as a judgment on whether Cao Yu Bian can win or not.Cao Yubian naturally hates his teeth, but he can't really sever ties with Han Yu. This "two boat party" is led by Han Yu. If the "two boat party" doesn't support him, he will decline even more , not to mention that it was somewhat wrong for him to seek Han Yu's seat first.

"I'm afraid it won't work if it goes on like this! It's not what I said, this is always entangled in the matter of the tax supervisor, what do the Qing family think will be the result?" Yang Reform was helpless.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there is no result..." Han Yu immediately replied, he can give the answer to this question directly, without having to think about it for a long time. When he was the "boss" before, he often worried about the tax supervisor. , has been thinking about a solution, but there is no way, Cao Yubian robbed his seat, he is happy to give up, so that this headache can be given to others, the emperor asked about the tax supervisor, he can naturally give it in one go an affirmative answer.

"The Qing family also knows that there is no result, so if the Qing family continues to entangle like this, the Qing family should know what will happen." Yang Reform said again.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I know..." Han Kang bowed his head again and said, needless to say, everyone knows what will happen. These days, Cao Yubian's state seems to be getting weirder and weirder.

"Then what should the Qing family say?" Yang Reform put pressure on Han Yu.

"..." Han Yu was speechless for a while. At first, he still had some confidence in persuading Cao Yubian and the others, but now, Cao Yubian is obsessed with this tax supervisor, a posture of not giving up until he achieves his goal, and he is determined. To seek death.

In the warm pavilion, there was silence for a while.

Yang Reform said that he just wanted to roll his eyes, what are these things, in the end, he still has to worry about it, and he has to give advice to his enemies.

"Well, let's see if the Qing family can divert the attention of those people, don't just talk about the tax inspector, talk about something else, find something else to do, maybe they see some hope, so don't worry about it It's already..." Yang Reform gave Han Yu some advice.

"The minister leads the order!" Han Yu agreed.

Although Han Yu agreed to the emperor, he still had no idea in his heart. Now Cao Yubian was only afraid that he hated him too much, so he went to persuade a person who wanted to die and hated him. How should he persuade him?The reason why there has not been a complete break now is because Cao Yubian still has to maintain a certain amount of power, even though this power is a "two-ship party".

……

Two days later, some changes have indeed taken place in the playbook of the story. In addition to the ones that are mainly aimed at the tax supervisor, there are more ones that are aimed at land outside the customs, and those that are aimed at Fenghang. At any rate, there are some different voices, but it is still the same. Mainly the tax supervisor.

Yang Reform was reading the playbook again, and when he saw the playbook with some other content, his heart felt a little bit down.

Thinking of Cao Yubian's expression in the past few days, Yang Reform felt that he was afraid of being useless.

"Han Qing's family, how is the effect?" Yang Reform summoned Han Yu in this place again, and asked the same thing, that is, to persuade Cao Yubian.

"Report to Your Majesty, the minister is incompetent, please forgive me..." Han Yu slumped his head, looking incompetent.

"Oh, I got it." Seeing Han Yu like this, Yang Reform knew the result, and the talk probably fell apart.

Yang Reform waved his hand to let Han Yu go out.

Yang Reform prepared to calm down and think about it.

……

Yang Reform worked hard to drive away the emotions that troubled him these days.

After a lot of hard work, I can drive away the "unbearable" in my heart. As an emperor, you should be kind when you should be kind. Kindness should not be swayed unrestrainedly. You have to spend a lot of money before your work is completed. Considering these things in his mind, it is too "passionate". An emperor should not be too controlled by emotions, but instead control emotions and control things to their own goals.

What about your goals?Yang Reform drove away the "emotions" that had troubled him for many days, and finally put himself at the level of an emperor. In order for more people to survive and for the benefit of more people, it is impossible for him to think about a few things without restraint. The interests of the individual, a small group of people.

My goal is to change the tax collection policy of the Ming Dynasty, making tax payment a must for all social classes, making tax payment the norm, so that the Ming Dynasty will no longer be troubled by financial crises, and get rid of the fate of extinction in history.

My own goal is to start China, a landlocked country, to pay attention to the ocean, to start immigration, to start colonization, to start expansion, to build a reliable colonial expansion system, to drive China's expansion, and to use a century of expansion as the industrialization of the Ming Dynasty Escort.

My own goal is to promote social progress, to promote industrialization, to push the Ming Dynasty to its peak, and to push the Ming Dynasty to the top of the world.

My goal is the inner lake of the Pacific Ocean, and my goal is the sea of ​​stars.

The goal of all these must start with the change of tax policy. After finishing this matter, I still have more things to do, instead of just concentrating on this matter, instead of focusing my energy and thoughts on those few things. Personally, I certainly don't want them to die, but it's even more impossible to give up the strategy I set for them.

Yang Reform began to criticize himself severely, but his heart was still too soft.

"Big companion, go and summon Cao Yubian." Yang Reform took a deep breath, and ordered solemnly, his words were filled with incomparable majesty, and his voice was also unusually cruel.

"Slave obeys the order!" Wang Chengen was also taken aback. He was just a sad and "sentimental" emperor, why is he so serious all of a sudden?

……

Snapper.

Yang Reform looked at Cao Yubian with a serious face.

Cao Yubian looked at the emperor with a face of indifference, desire, and even fearlessness, and there was even a trace of sadness in his expression.

"Excuse the Qing family." Yang Reform said in a serious tone.

"Thank you, Your Majesty..." Cao Yubian remained the same, nothing changed.

"I see that the Qing family's recent memorials are all about the tax supervisor. I want to talk to the Qing family." Yang Reform said solemnly, with a hint of sharpness in his words, completely different from the previous regret and worry. Same.

"..." Cao Yubian glanced at the emperor, seeing that the emperor looked unusually serious, and there was a slight strangeness in his eyes, and he didn't say anything.

"...I originally thought that the Qing family would have some powerful means, but now it seems that I overestimated the Qing family." Yang Reform said this straight to the point, and said it clearly, in a contemptuous tone. In fact, this can't be completely blamed on Cao Yubian's incompetence. When that guy Han Yu suddenly turned around, there were only a group of guys standing on two boats left beside Cao Yubian. How could he fight?
Cao Yubian was slightly surprised again, glanced at the emperor again, and still returned to that look.

"How dare I compare myself with Your Majesty? Your Majesty is the Holy Lord. He does things openly and aboveboard, with awe-inspiring aura. People all over the world admire him. I am not as good as one ten-thousandth of Your Majesty..." Cao Yubian was still indifferent, seeking nothing, and fearless. tragic attitude.

"Let's just open up and talk about it. The Ruqing family only pays attention to this point, and there is almost no chance of winning. Why bother with this entanglement?" Yang Reform said in an unusually calm, terribly serious voice. mercy.

"A gentleman does something, he doesn't do something, and when to do what, I naturally know what to do, even if the means are weak, and my majesty looks down upon me, I don't think it's a big deal... I know when to do something, and I will definitely do it." There will be an explanation, and His Majesty will not be disappointed..." Cao Yubian said, the tragic color became more intense.

"Well, I can understand what the Qing family said, but even so, I won't shrink back. With the words of the Qing family, if a gentleman does something, I will do something. Otherwise, why do you want to be me? The emperor of Ming Dynasty? I naturally have the responsibility to work for the welfare of my people, to survive, to find a way out. This is my responsibility and my mission. Anyone who stands in my way will be crushed to powder, It’s blood flowing like a river, and I don’t care about it, this is what I have to do when I came to this world, no one can stop it, and I can’t change it, this is the will of God..." Yang Reform was not affected by Cao Yubian's words at all. Under the influence of tragic colors, he speaks his own words.

"...I am the emperor of hundreds of millions of people in Ming Dynasty, not the emperor of a few people, nor the emperor of a group of people. Naturally, the future of hundreds of millions of people is the most important thing. I really value and care about the life of the Qing family, but If you put the Qing family on the weight of hundreds of millions of people, I can only choose hundreds of millions of people, and I have no choice. The chance of survival, which is more important, is naturally clear at a glance, people are always going to die, whether it is more important than Mount Tai, or less important than a feather, the Qing family can do it for themselves..." Yang Reform was still unusually serious, and said the words lightly , It can be regarded as thoroughly clarifying the matter.

Yang Reform didn't give Cao Yubian a chance to speak again, so he waved his hand and let Cao Yubian go out.

Cao Yubian didn't expect that the emperor's attitude and words would be like this, not only completely opened up about him, but also criticized him in a severe tone, which was indeed beyond Cao Yubian's expectations.

Cao Yubian doesn't remember how he got out of the Nuan Pavilion, how he got out of the Qianqing Palace, he only remembers the emperor's unusually serious face and unusually sharp eyes.The words "heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather" deeply hurt Cao Yubian, so is he as heavy as Mount Tai or as light as a feather?

……

Yang Reform made these words clear, and the knot in his heart was completely untied. Although he didn't want to see an old man in his seventies and eighties die tragically in front of him, or a group of people begging for death in front of him, but he couldn't watch With hundreds of millions of people dying tragically, it is self-evident. As an emperor, one should have the consciousness of an emperor. The hearts of otaku are kind, but kindness has a limit...

Yang Reform, who let go of his ideological burden, thoroughly clarified his goals and what he wanted to do. No one in the world can stop him.

……

Kong Yinzhi has been walking back and forth in this temporary residence for a long time. The situation in the capital city is not very strict because the control is not very strict. If there is any movement, the whole Beijing city will know immediately. It can be said that this is a disaster. An open duel.

Up to now, the situation is self-evident, Han Yu turned around, Cao Yubian was alone, and it was impossible to beat the emperor no matter what, that is to say, the emperor had already won.

Having seen the methods used by the emperor to fight against the ministers, and the thrilling scenes, Kong Yinzhi knew that it was his turn to make a choice. Although he could stay out of the tax-paying faction's dispute, his detached status could not be ignored. It does not exist all the time, and his transcendent status only stops when there is a winner. When there is a winner, it is time for them to choose. Confucianism adheres to the winner, which is the rule of Confucianism.

The emperor wins, and he is attached to the emperor. This is the rule.

As for the matter that the emperor said about creating a saint, Kong Yinzhi believed that the emperor might be able to do it, but this is not important anymore.After thinking for a long time, I picked up the pen and ink and began to write with my heart.

It is not necessary to take out these things now, but it is necessary to prepare in advance.
