The next day, the court held a meeting.
Like every court meeting in the past, officials lined up outside the palace gate and entered the palace with the sound of bells.
However, since the news of that tax case arrived in the capital, Liu Hongtao, a name that was unknown in the past, has also been at the forefront.
The most popular thing is naturally not the so-called tax case achievements, but the identity of the youngest son of the cabinet chief.
What is the so-called tax case achievements? This is undoubtedly a clear understanding of the civil and military officials of the court.
It is precisely because I know that I naturally have a lot of peeping at these cabinet chiefs...
Liu Qiyuan naturally knew all this. Although it took only five or six years to the present, the situation in the court had already undergone earth-shaking changes.
In the past, Duke Qin assisted in government administration, but Duke Qin's foundation was limited to the army, and the court and the world were all under the influence of civil servants and gentry.
With the continuous civil unrest, under the influence of internal or foreign wars, Qin Gong relied on his invincible military power and his influence spread rapidly.
But even when Daheng established a country, Qin Duke's influence was far from the point where he could change his dynasty.
The situation that day after Daheng established the country clearly proved everything.
But how could the emperor use his invincible military power to suppress all dissatisfaction and defeat this vast country.
The so-called success, success, defeat, and defeat, are the former Ming officials, who were eliminated bit by bit under the changing situation at this time.
To this day...
These civil officials who once had a grudge against the Emperor of Ming Dynasty...
The influence has been weakened little by little.
In the court, there are only a small number of real civil officials. Even a small number of them dare to join forces to keep warm under the division of the emperor, and they have to divide into several factions.
It is extremely normal for a storm to peek at him.
"Me, please see your Majesty!"
In Chengtian Palace, all civil and military officials visited the court, and a court meeting also officially began.
Like the previous court discussions, every time the court discusses, there are endless things to deal with in the court.
The so-called official and the people is just an empty definition. The emperor knows very well that 99% of the people in this world are officials... serving the people is definitely not the first element.
Human nature is so difficult to change.
If you want officials to serve the people, you can only use strict supervision and force officials to serve the people and the country.
And this requires a centralized government, and the emperor wants to create a great trend of great governance!
From top to bottom, the great momentum came from the sky. Even if you are an official, you can only obey this trend honestly on the surface.
And this great trend comes from the laws and regulations established with countless people's heads over the years, which shocks people's hearts and restrains words and deeds.
This is the foundation of the great governance. If this cannot be achieved, no matter how prosperous it is, it will be a castle in the sky. When the prosperity dissipates, it will inevitably be a decay and decay.
In this case, there will naturally be disadvantages.
It is beneficial to the country, the people, the officials, and the heart.
Strict supervision and continuous implementation of major policies bring about busyness, such as all officials, and so is his emperor.
People always have times of tiredness, and being an official cannot be like a machine, just for the people.
Looking at history, this is the fundamental reason why officials and literati like to praise "benevolent government".
Benevolence is not benevolent in government, but benevolence is unquestionable benevolent in government!
For all this, the emperor is naturally clear.
It is impossible for him to have benevolent politics in his life.
No matter how big the disadvantages are, he has to suffer. He even planned that one day, at the end of his life, he might have to take a group of people away and clean up the so-called disadvantages!
The emperor's thoughts were drifting for a moment, and the discussions that began in the court attracted the emperor's attention.
As usual, the discussion lasted for about an hour before it was almost over.
The usual court discussion was almost over, but this time, when the court discussion was about to end, a sudden sound attracted everyone's attention.
"His Majesty!"
I saw Liu Qiyuan, the chief assistant of the cabinet, stand up and bow to the emperor.
The emperor was surprised, and the thoughtful look flashed in his eyes, as if he had thought of something. The emperor raised his mouth slightly and raised his hand: "What's the point of your good friend?"
"I would like to review the Quanzhou tax case!"
In a word, a sudden noise broke out in the court.
The emperor was not surprised too much. He looked around with interest in the civil and military officials of the court. After the sudden change of expressions clearly came into his eyes, the emperor then looked at the chief ministers of the cabinet who were standing bent.
Whoever investigates this case, Liu Qiyuan's chief minister can't get along with it.
Only when he breaks this cancer by himself and kills his relatives for justice can he escape safely.
But... this is not something he can check just by wanting to.
From the Ming Dynasty to the present, it took him more than ten years to suppress the civil servants and gentry of the Ming Dynasty to this point.
The transformation of literati has only planted seeds. If the literati represented by Liu Qiyuan came to investigate the military honors, and the scope of the investigation was still the strategic location of the Yangtze River and the sea border...
He would not do such a thing as a tiger returning to the mountain.
Since ancient times, rulers have to rule the world. Even if they are heroes, they must fight to dominate the world. The most important thing is to understand what their foundation is!
That is...a class that is familiar to later generations!
Looking at history, the ruling foundations of all dynasties are almost the same.
It was nothing more than a transformation from a family to a gentry and landlord.
These two classes are the foundation of the rule of all dynasties.
The emperor and his family govern the world, or the emperor and his literati rule the world, there is nothing else except that.
And he, Li Xiu, is obviously different.
The environment in which the former Ming Dynasty was noble and noble, and the military was destined from the beginning. Even if he was powerful, even if he was assisting the country and governing the country, as long as he was in the Ming Dynasty, he would always be with the gentry and landlord class, and he was not a member of the same class as the gentry and landlords.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! His foundation is the iron army of war that he used his great victory to forge ahead in the harsh environment of literary and noble martial arts!
He was in a hostile camp with the traditional gentry landlords, which was also the most fundamental reason why he struggled when he was in power in the former Ming Dynasty.
And when he usurped the throne and established the country, he once again clearly proved his foundation.
Long live, and with it, what followed was the bleak scene of almost all the betrayal of relatives and relatives besides the military foundation!
Class contradictions cannot be compensated at all.
It was precisely because he saw it clearly that after surviving the situation that day, he decisively waved his butcher knife and began a massacre called reform but actually class struggle!
From the north to the south of the Yangtze River, countless people are rolling in, and the masters of these people are the foundation of the rule of many dynasties... gentry and landlords!
This is also the most fundamental reason why the turmoil caused by "civil officials" over the years has almost become the norm.
But obviously, if a dynasty wants to be stable and to rule the world, it must have a reliable foundation.
But his ruling foundation... It's okay for the military army to conquer the world. When he ruled the world, even if he used all kinds of means, such as civilian science in the martial arts academy, military transfer, military major, and academy training...
But it is obvious that these cannot maintain the rule of thousands of counties in Daheng!
This is also the most fundamental reason why various departments in the court have slowly recovered their real power from puppets.
Just like Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Taizu, captured the world from the bottom of the grassroots people, even though he hated the civil officials of the Yuan Dynasty to the core, in the end, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Taizu, had no choice but to compromise with the gentry and landlords and rule the world together.
But Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was naturally extremely harsh on civil servants and gentry throughout his life.
And Emperor Zhaowu is now in this embarrassing situation.
The army can conquer the world and suppress all disobedience, but the army cannot govern the world.
Even though he almost killed all the gentry and landlords in the world and the class struggle continued to the point where the landlords divided the land, he could only choose some gentry and landlords to cooperate in the world!
Lai Zongdao, Liu Qiyuan, Yang Sichang and other officials are naturally representatives of this group of gentry and landlords.
Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, finally arrived at the step of Emperor Zhaowu, compromised and cooperated, and treated civil servants and gentry with unprecedented rigor.
Peeling and filling grass, wearing shackles to work, one major case after another is involved...
It has clearly explained the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang's thorough understanding of gentry and landlords.
But Emperor Zhaowu did not want to do this. If cooperation is cooperation, suppression will continue. Moreover, he wanted to start a new business bit by bit, even if he shared the world with the gentry and landlords, he would not be able to avoid it.
Then this gentleman landlord must be a gentleman landlord whom he has transformed.
The traditional gentry landlords represented by Liu Qiyuan are the targets of temporary cooperation and the targets to be gradually eliminated in the future...
In this way, although the role of these people is difficult to replace, it definitely does not mean that the emperor can sit idly by and watch them expand their influence.
The circle has been drawn, and this circle will inevitably shrink as time goes by. If you cross this circle, you will have to kill it!
This is the attitude of the emperor towards civil servants and gentry like Liu Qiyuan.
This is no longer unusable for Liu Qiyuan and others. This is a class struggle.
Unless they are willing to completely accept the transformation of his emperor and completely adapt to the times, otherwise, elimination is necessary.
Even if it causes chaos in the world, it is a must!
This is not something that is difficult to understand. The emperor's will has been clearly revealed.
Liu Qiyuan, it is impossible for him to be unclear.
So... he, Liu Qiyuan, is he going to start to compromise?
The emperor stared at Liu Qiyuan with a faint look. He also needed sincerity to express his attitude.
I just don’t know if Liu Qiyuan’s sincerity can impress him, the emperor?
It’s useless for him to compromise alone. A faction, not a person’s will, can be completely controlled...
