Two hundred and seventieth chapters lift the table
Emperor Chongzhen had a gloomy face, and every word was like a sledgehammer in the hearts of those present.
The tears in Wang Zongguang's eyes could no longer be stopped, not only for the death of his wife, but also for Emperor Chongzhen to remember himself, but also for the words that Emperor Chongzhen could not make the soldiers bleed and cry.
However, Emperor Chongzhen obviously did not intend to let Liu Zongzhou go or these literati who were thinking about chasing three generations all day long, but then continued: "Human hearts always grow flesh? Even if it is a stone, it will be hot when it is held in his arms?
But what about the soldiers? They fought bloody battles on the front line, giving you a stable environment to study, curse the streets, discuss the government affairs, and slander the king. But how do you repay these soldiers?
He called them martial artists and looked down on them. In the past, when Song Zhishi simply treated them as prisoners, he had to tattoo their faces.
Whenever you can't win the battle, it's the responsibility of the generals and soldiers. But why don't you think about it? Why do you ask the soldiers to fight for a person who can't even give the minimum respect?"
Not to mention Liu Zongzhou at this time, even Wen Tiren covered his face with his sleeves. Emperor Chongzhen said these words too ruthlessly.
Emperor Chongzhen ignored the actions of Wen Tiren and Liu Zongzhou, and then continued: "The dynasties are always destroyed by weakness, and the Han is destroyed by strongness. Even after three points, Cao Cao could still expel Wuhuan from the north. Do you really don't know the reason?
I’m afraid it’s not that you don’t know, but that you don’t know. The status of a military general is high, and you feel that the power in your hands will become less and less elegant. There are also treacherous and slanderous people in the court, which is not in line with the scene of the ceremonial ceremonies that you and others expect?”
Zhang Zhiji, Wang Zongguang and other warriors were already showing fierce eyes at this time, staring at Liu Zongzhou fiercely. As long as Emperor Chongzhen gave the order, Liu Zongzhou would definitely be in the rhythm of being in charge of the corpse.
However, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "Liu Zongzhou, I originally wrote a letter to talk about the disaster of party struggles when I met him. I originally thought you were also a wise person, but I never thought that you were just thinking about what to do to Yao and Shun with all your heart. Although you had passion, you used the wrong place!
Forget it, since you beg for bones, you will retire. From now on, you will be happy to study and do not become an official again."
Liu Zongzhou smiled miserably and said, "Thank you for your kindness."
After Liu Zongzhou retreated, Emperor Chongzhen ordered: "Wang Cheng'en, he wrote an edict. From then on, the guards and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty would not worship the civil servants except for the rituals in the army!
Any case involving soldiers in the military guards in the Ming Dynasty do not use the laws of the Ming Dynasty. This order is the same as the Jinyiwei and the East-West Inspection Factory."
Wen Tiren was very anxious when he heard this.
Emperor Chongzhen clearly stated that he wanted to completely separate the military and political affairs, and to elevate the status of military officials to check and balance the civil officials.
This is not just a question of which side Emperor Chongzhen is leaning towards. In fact, Emperor Chongzhen has always been leaning towards the military generals and nobles. This is an obvious matter.
No one can expect an emperor who always likes to lead troops to war to face civil servants.
However, Emperor Chongzhen's approach really touched the bottom line of all civil servants. Even if he shamelessly agreed, what will happen when the court meeting tomorrow? How many people will choose to retire?
In fact, compared to the damage to the interests of civil servants, Wen Tiren cares more about his own life.
If he was just called a treacherous by other officials, Wen Tiren could say that I don’t care.
But if Emperor Chongzhen is like the late emperor...
At least, I will definitely be in trouble.
As the saying goes, one emperor and another minister, who can expect the next emperor to ascend the throne to treat him like the current Emperor Chongzhen?
Not to mention anything else, the attacks of other ministers in the court can kill all the people of his family!
After considering it, Wen Tiren bowed and said, "I will tell you, how can the soldiers in the Guards be independent of the Ming Dynasty's laws? I think it is better to modify the provisions in the Ming Dynasty's laws, strengthen the protection of the relatives and individuals of the soldiers, and give them certain privileges."
Emperor Chongzhen didn't know what Wen Tiren was thinking, and then snorted coldly: "What, Wen Aiqing thinks it's inappropriate?"
Wen Tiren had no choice but to bow and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. Please recite it alone."
Not only Wen Tiren reacted, but even Zhu Chunchen, who had just been ordered by Emperor Chongzhen, also reacted.
Although Zhu Chunchen said that he had a lot of slight remarks about Emperor Chongzhen's never valued himself, he was considered a nobleman, and his interests were never on the same line as civil servants.
Now that Emperor Chongzhen is so desperate, Zhu Chunchen is also anxious. If the emperor is like Zhengde and the late emperor, he will die, and the next emperor may have completely turned to the civil ministers.
After all, there are few emperors in history who have turned against each other like Emperor Chongzhen faster than flirting with books.
Zhu Chunchen also bowed and said, "I will report to Your Majesty, please report to Master Wen Ge."
Zhu Chunchen knew Wen Tiren's reputation. Then look at Wen Tiren's anxious look now. Combined with what Emperor Chongzhen said just now, you can know what Wen Tiren is anxious about.
Although Emperor Chongzhen hated these unlucky civil servants to not die, Emperor Chongzhen also saw the performance of the treacherous Wen Tiren and Zhu Chunchen.
After waiting for the people in the fate hall, Emperor Chongzhen took Zhu Gang, Fang Zhenghua and others to the back hall.
Seeing that Wen Tiren and Zhu Chunchen had followed, Emperor Chongzhen ordered: "Sorry people to go outside the door to guard, and no one is allowed to approach within fifty steps."
Zhu Gang took the order and left, leaving only the expressionless Fang Zhenghua and Wang Chengen standing behind Emperor Chongzhen like wooden men.
Zhu Chunchen was not sure what Fang Zhenghua was, but Wen Tiren knew very well. As long as Emperor Chongzhen got up, the dead eunuch Fang Zhenghua would follow Emperor Chongzhen like a shadow, which would take more time than Wang Chengen to follow Emperor Chongzhen.
Ignoring Fang Zhenghua, Wen Tiren immediately bowed and said, "I ask Your Majesty to take back Cheng's order, otherwise the chaos will be in front of you."
Seeing Wen Tiren's solemn speech, Zhu Chunchen hurriedly said, "I will advise you to take back your order."
Seeing that Wen Tiren, who has always used his own opinions as the norm and Zhu Chunchen, who has always been self-protective, both said this, Emperor Chongzhen also said seriously: "Reason, I need a reason."
Wen Tiren bowed and said, "Your Majesty, don't you see the affairs of Emperor Wuzong and the late emperor?"
Emperor Wuzong and the former emperor were neither weak, but they were taken advantage of by villains and all their hard work and ambitions went east.
I think that although Your Majesty has a good intention, he is too hasty and may something that he can't bear to say."
Emperor Chongzhen snorted coldly but did not speak.
Wen Tiren was right. Once he took this step, he would really be right with all the civil officials in the entire Ming Dynasty officialdom.
And what happens to these crazy civil servants, you can even think about it with your butt.
Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen did not speak, Zhu Chunchen was also anxious and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the disease of the Ming Dynasty is not in the skin, but in the stomach and stomach, and is about to the bone marrow.
Now Your Majesty is a doctor. If you take the medicine too hard, you may become a medicine for tigers and wolves. Not only will you not be able to cure the disease, but you may also be hampered by the patient."
Emperor Chongzhen unexpectedly glanced at Zhu Chunchen.
It is really not easy to let such an old fox say such heart-to-heart words, but I am afraid that his thoughts on his face will be a little more true.
However, Emperor Chongzhen was quite dissatisfied.
Don’t say that you are cruel. How could you give up easily if you finally take this opportunity to do such a big thing?
Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen's face was gloomy and sunny, Wen Tiren guessed a little, and then bowed again: "I know that Your Majesty has a complete protection, but all the officials are all in love with Ren, what can I do?
Your Majesty has a knife in his hand, and he can kill one person, but he can kill ten thousand people? Even if your Majesty can kill all the civil servants in the world, who can you ask for his Majesty to serve His Majesty's herders?"
Emperor Chongzhen was speechless for a moment.
Wen Tiren is right.
When I first traveled through time, I thought I could kill the civil servant system with a big kill.
The facts were as expected. Taking advantage of the siege of Huangtaiji army, Bai Gan soldiers and factory guards were in hand, and he really felt good.
But that is all based on the fact that one has not really touched the bottom line of these civil servants.
The bottom line of these civil servants is one of the problems of tax payments in one's gentry, and the other is the problem of raising the status of military generals.
Even if the martyrs' temple was built before, it was just a chance to act. Now if the military generals and nobles are completely separated from the existing system of the Ming Dynasty, it is probably a big boom.
Emperor Chongzhen habitually bent his fingers and knocked on the table for a while before suddenly making a decision.
Damn it, when did I become so cowardly?
Isn’t it just a dismissal? Without the county magistrate, I will not promote those elderly officials? Without the prefectural governor, I will not promote them step by step?
It's just a turmoil in the world if you're dying.
It’s all messy early and late. Anyway, I’m going to push it down and start over again. I won’t grind my teeth with you anymore!
This was a very difficult decision.
Jiannu from Liaodong was attacked by Mao Wenlong at this time, and Lin Danyu from the north was so mocked by himself that he was about to die. The rebellion in Shaanxi was just a disease of scabies. The day of restoration was not just around the corner, but it was not far away.
In addition, the mechanization process that the steam engine that the Royal Academy has been studying in the future, and the cultivation of high-yield crops can solve the food shortage in the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that as long as there is no big chaos in the Ming Dynasty now, it can basically be considered stable.
It was precisely Emperor Chongzhen's decision that could easily lead to a huge mess.
Wen Tiren and Zhu Chunchen thought that they were not good when they saw Emperor Chongzhen's face changed from gloomy to resoluteness.
This man is indeed a disobedient person. Depending on the situation, he is planning to be tough.
Sure enough, Emperor Chongzhen said lightly: "You two beloved ministers don't need to persuade me anymore, I have decided.
Wen is literature, and martial arts is martial arts. Using martial arts to control literature is the way to disrupt the country. Using civil and military power to control martial arts is also a chaos in chaos. In the future, civil and military power will be divided into governance."
Wen Tiren wanted to persuade him again, but Emperor Chongzhen didn't give him this opportunity at all. He stood up and walked out the door.
Looking up at the sun that was about to set, Emperor Chongzhen thought to himself that the Ming Dynasty did not set like the sun first, how could it be as vast as the sun when the rising sun was rising!
After making up his mind, Emperor Chongzhen no longer hesitated and walked towards the main hall with great strides.
After Emperor Chongzhen arrived at the main hall, Wen Tiren and Zhu Chunchen followed, Emperor Chongzhen said, "Wang Cheng'en, inform civil and military officials above the fifth rank in Beijing to hold a grand court meeting tomorrow. If they fail, they will be dismissed from office and punished.
In addition, the Beijing camp took over the city defense later. Anyone with an official position in the capital will not be distinguished from civil and military officials, and will not be allowed to enter or leave. Those who violate the law will issue an edict to be punished as a rebellious person.
My previous decree remains unchanged, and I will be impressed by the plan. I will be spread to the world after the grand ceremony tomorrow."
Emperor Chongzhen's series of decrees were a bit dazzling, but Wang Chengen and Zhang Zhiji bowed and said, "Abide by the order."
However, Emperor Chongzhen continued to say to Wei Zhongxian: "Zhongxian, I have not managed the Ming Dynasty yet, so I can't see my brother so early. After you go back, you tell Tian Ergeng that my safety will be delivered to you."
Since he was thrown to Shaanxi by Emperor Chongzhen last time, this is the second time that Emperor Chongzhen has shown such trust in himself, and he has trusted him with his life.
In addition, Emperor Chongzhen mentioned Emperor Tianqi again, Wei Zhongxian's eyes turned red at the time and he said coldly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, as long as I still live for one day, I can't imagine that anyone can be detrimental to Your Majesty!"
Emperor Chongzhen smiled with relief and said, "Sure enough, before leaving, the emperor said that you can entrust the important task, and you really deserve it. It is worthwhile that the emperor's intention to cultivate you."
At this time, the second young master Wang, who was tied up in the hall, was already confused by this change.
The ups and downs of life are so exciting. First, a nephew from a British man came out for some reason and couldn't get along with him, and then he turned into an emperor.
The conscience of heaven and earth, and a little person like me will still have one day to see the emperor? Although he is about to die?
And it seems that because of his own death, there is a great chaos in the Ming Dynasty? Even the emperor may be in danger of his life?
The Sa family is really worth it in this life!
Emperor Chongzhen ignored the second son of Wang and smiled and looked at Wang Zongguang: "How is it? Are you satisfied with the explanation I have given you?"
Although Wang Zongguang was honest, he was not a fool. Emperor Chongzhen had probably felt what kind of risks it contained in it.
Now, in order to give him an explanation, His Majesty and Emperor still do not change his original intention even if he is risking chaos in the world. What else can I say?
