Volume B Section 109 How about poking a hornet's nest

Feng Ziying's words made the atmosphere in the entire room lighten up all of a sudden, and even Guan Yingzhen couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

Yes, isn't that what the academy is pursuing?

If you feel that there is something wrong with the situation reflected in the college's article, you are welcome to refute it, and you can even have another debate in front of the gong.

Needless to say, even if it is really defeated, it is still glorious despite defeat.

At least it proves that Qingtan Academy dares to challenge the various ministries of the imperial court, and this courage can be a model for Shilin.

Once this influence spreads, the impact on the entire Shilin can be imagined.

It can be said that this article is a great word, and it has taken so much effort to find out the most challenging, sensitive and controversial issues, to hit the nail on the head, to cause controversy among the important ministers within the court, and to ferment these topics to the greatest extent and then spread them.

Not afraid of controversy, not afraid of counterattacks, and welcome to discuss.

As long as the topic spreads, the influence and reputation will naturally come out, and the purpose of the academy will be achieved.

Of course, the academy is not unscrupulous in order to expand its reputation and influence, at least it has spent a lot of thought on topic selection and preparation, and it is also really from the perspective of the disadvantages of the times, if you can take this opportunity to really promote the imperial court to make changes because of this, it is also a merit.

"Ziying, I know your purpose and intention, well, as far as these questions are concerned, I agree with them, but you have to keep one thing in mind, don't forget your heart, become nitpicking, become buying and returning pearls, what is the purpose of our study, if you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world, and now we obviously can't take being good as the goal, so when we really have the ability to achieve the goal, how can we achieve our ideals?"

Guan Yingzhen's words actually have some reminders and teachings in them, reminding everyone not to forget their original intentions and long-term goals in order to achieve short-term goals.

Including Feng Ziying, Lian Guoshi, Han Jing, He Fengsheng, Chen Qiyu and others are all solemn, obviously agreeing with Guan Yingzhen's views.

As a means, in order to gain greater influence, there is nothing wrong with this, but it cannot go to the other extreme, forgetting what the purpose of this means is, and still need to firmly identify the problems and disadvantages of reform, so that the court and the people can benefit from it.

Seeing that the disciples were all solemnly remembered, Guan Yingzhen was also relieved in his heart, the self-motivation of students at this age is often the purest and most simple, but is it not when they embark on the road of official career, can they still maintain such an enterprising spirit? Will you be infiltrated by all kinds of filth in the world and lose your heart?

It's just that no one can give an accurate answer to these questions, and everyone will spend their whole life handing in the answer sheet.

*******

"It's a little interesting, is this Qi Chengfeng and Guan Dongxian with a group of disciples to subvert the imperial court?" Speaking coldly, a stack of manuscripts was thrown on the bookcase, and the goosebump-haired old man put his body aside contemptuously, "Boxiao, how did such things get to you?" ”

"Looking back at Lord Fu, this is what Qi Shilang handed over to this official when he discussed the issue of military salaries on the nine sides." Zheng Jizhi, the head of the household, said calmly: "Qi Shilang is dedicated to the country, and the official also understands, but he is so eager to do things, I am afraid it is not the blessing of the court." ”

Shen always groaned: "Boxiao, in your opinion, what is this Qi Chengfeng planning to do?" And which of your little fellows, Guan Dongxian, is he going to make a big deal when he takes over as the head of Qingtan Academy? I heard that Zhou Yongchun also went to Qingtan Academy? ”

A series of questions made Zheng Jizhi difficult to answer, and he hesitated for a moment before saying: "In my opinion, I am afraid that this action is not something that Dongxian can toss alone, Qi Chengfeng has only been back in office for a few months, and if such articles are not carefully planned, it is difficult to come out, I have to say that the examples and specific shortcomings listed in it all exist, but ......"

Zheng Jizhi didn't say any more, and he couldn't say any more.

He didn't want to do it for a long time, and he could be any official in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but he couldn't be the head of the household hall and the left and right servants.

This is the life of the head of the household department is about to be cut off, that is the real life is suffering, every day the people who are blocked in the household party can send a long dragon, and the people who are also waiting at your door can also let you stop thinking about the time to rest.

"But what, isn't it just that there are too many people who benefit, and everyone's eyes are staring? Are you and I entangled in it, what? Shen always sneered contemptuously: "Besides, this is the old system, can you and I change it casually?" ”

"Lord Shousuke, but if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that the Nine Sides will really cause chaos." Zheng Jizhi couldn't help it.

He does not agree with the suggestion of this article, but he does not deny that this article has accurately hit the disadvantages of the times, and raised the huge problems that currently exist in the opening of China and France, in a sense, he really hopes that there can be some best of both worlds to solve it, but it is obviously unrealistic.

Although he had already written his resignation, the emperor never approved it, but encouraged him to continue to worry about the monarch.

The problem is that he doesn't have this ability, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and this household is not a human being.

He also heard that Qi Yongtai originally intended to come to the household department to serve as the left waiter, he couldn't ask for it, and was looking forward to it, but he let Qi Yongtai go to the ministry.

Zheng Jizhi also doesn't think that Qi Yongtai can make much trouble in the ministry, as long as the pattern of the court remains unchanged, these people sitting in the cabinet are still the same, and the emperor has no big thoughts, then everything will not change much.

Therefore, he has long been haggard, eager to return to his hometown as soon as possible to recuperate, and wait for Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen to come up and pick up this mess.

Shen has always been unaware of the problems and difficulties involved? To be able to sit in this position and not even see that is a real joke.

The question is what can you do if you see it, Emperor Taishang has been to the south of the Yangtze River six times in 20 years, spending countless times, pulling down such a big famine, and poking out such a big hole, who will carry it? Do you really think those businessmen are good people?

In the past 20 years, there have been countless people who have tried to lift this lid, which one has succeeded? Stubble after stubble, the people who died for this reason are only afraid that the trees on the grave are one foot high, right?

Do you really think that when the new emperor ascends the throne, he can toss again?

Shen has always really not had the energy, it is enough for him to go through a round of such a thing, and he doesn't dare to say it, but countless people have lost their positions and taken off their hats, and no one side can please them.

Well, there are still people who can please them, and those officials who are waiting in line for alternates can pick up some opportunities.

Thinking of the issue of military salaries on the nine sides, Shen has always had the same headache, this is also an unsolvable problem, where is the money to fill this hole, the emperor opened a mine to supervise the tax supervision, who doesn't know that there is a great risk here, but everyone is silent, only the stunned young people who don't understand the world affairs in the Metropolitan Procuratorate have become heavenly bullets, is it useful?

If anyone dares to say that he can solve the problem of military salaries in the nine sides, it is estimated that he will be able to persuade the emperor to withdraw the mine supervisor and tax supervisor, but who can?

If you really can, the person in front of you won't be making a fuss about resigning from office all day long.

And from the bottom of his heart, Shen has always not thought that there is a problem with the establishment of tax supervisors and mine supervisors.

The Ming system inherited by the Great Zhou Dynasty itself has some problems, the commercial tax rate, how to collect, from the beginning of the Great Zhou Dynasty began to controversy, until now there is no result, and finally follow the model of the former Ming Dynasty, the consequences of which can be known.

The gang of Jiangnan and Shanxi businessmen are full of fat brains one by one, and they don't want to repay the country to relieve the king's worries, they are also quite powerful in the court, this Shilin Wenchen is nominally a sanctimonious person, but the people behind the businessmen do not know how many.

Thinking of this, Shen Cheng couldn't help but laugh at himself, and he said it openly and honestly, but don't his wife and nephew also have countless livelihoods? It's just that I can only close my eyes and pretend not to know.

With a deep sigh, Shen Cheng opened his eyes that were a little cloudy but still godly, and muttered for a long time before saying: "Boxiao, this matter is easy to be quiet and not easy to move, and put it there, if Qi Chengfeng really wants to make any idea, he will not succeed, he can afford to jump alone, and no one echoes him, what can he do?" ”

"Lord Shoufu, I'm afraid it won't be so simple, then the Metropolitan Procuratorate ......," Zheng Jizhi reminded.

"I know, Qiao Yingjia will go to say hello, I believe that the personal relationship between Qi Yongtai and him will not affect his judgment, and it is unwise to do it knowing that it is not possible." Shen weighed it all the time.

"Of course, I also know that Qiao Yingjia's side is not so easy to deal with, he has to have an explanation for which side, those imperial historians are afraid that they are already excited like mad dogs now, but I have to draw a line for him, I can't cross the line, I have to take care of the overall situation."

The stunned young people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate are not so easy to solve, Qiao Yingjia is a new official, and it is impossible to be dumb at the first shot, I am afraid that I also need to find some people to sacrifice the flag, thinking of this, Shen has always felt a headache.

I still have to go and report to the Emperor Taishang, don't let the Emperor feel that he is intentionally indulgent, but the emperor should be able to understand his intentions, but he also needs to report to the emperor, I hope the emperor can understand his good intentions and press Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia.

"Lord Shoufu, I have to remind you, I'm afraid that Qi Yongtai won't just come out so simply, you also know his temperament, even if this matter can be suppressed, but he will definitely have other ways." When Zheng Jizhi got up to say goodbye, he couldn't help but remind the other party: "You'd better find a time to talk to him, I don't think he is the kind of person who can't see the overall situation clearly and doesn't care about the overall situation." ”

Looking at the figure of Zheng Jizhi leaving, Shen Yi couldn't help but sigh again, he suddenly felt that the energy he had been priding himself on was really a little weak, maybe he was really old?
