In ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, if a country is solidified by class, those with vested interests will always subconsciously reject the words "seeking change" and "reform", and their character and style will gradually become pedantic and conservative. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Because they are vested interests, they have already carved up the biggest piece of the cake, and things like "seeking change" and "reform" often mean a redivision of interests, and at this time, they may not be able to get the most benefits.

This is exactly what is happening today.

Although Zhao Junchen has always laid out facts, listed data, and reasoned, and explained all the pros and cons clearly, and the officials were also defeated in the debate, they just made up their minds not to agree with Zhao Junchen's proposal.

Using some false concepts to refute the other party often means that one's own reasoning is poor, but in this era, these false concepts are often not negligible, and they are a very effective means, because these concepts support the legitimacy and order of the feudal dynasty.

In this regard, Zhao Junchen is also helpless.

At the same time, Emperor Deqing listened to the debate between Zhao Junchen and the officials, but he was a little hesitant in his heart.

On the one hand, he felt that Zhao Junchen's statement was indeed reasonable, but on the other hand, the opposition of the officials could not be ignored.

Moreover, Emperor Deqing himself did not want to see too many changes in the familiar country, and always felt that Zhao Junchen's proposal was indeed a little unreliable.

So, after the officials once again expressed their objections, Emperor Deqing, who had been silent for a long time, glanced at Zhao Junchen, who had a solemn expression, and finally spoke slowly.

Emperor Deqing did not directly express his opinion, but asked several cabinet elders: "What do you think of Zhao Aiqing's proposal?" ”

Among the elders, Zhou Shangjing understood Zhao Junchen's thoughts the most, and Shen Changmao was now Zhao Junchen's apparent ally.

But the two of them also disagreed with Zhao Junchen's proposal.

Because, they must take into account the thoughts of their henchmen, and they must also fight for the interests of their respective henchmen, otherwise their respective parties will be chaotic!

After hearing Emperor Deqing's inquiry, Pavilion Elder Cheng took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister still does not agree with Lord Zhao's proposal, Lord Zhao's suggestion is a bit unrealistic, I am afraid that it will cost the people money and breed civil unrest, even if the idea is good, I am afraid that it will end up doing bad things!" ”

On the other hand, Zuo Lanshan, as the number two person in the "Zhao Party", although he was also a little dissatisfied with Zhao Junchen's proposal, and even Zhao Junchen's proposal also damaged his interests, but Zuo Lanshan finally decided to support Zhao Junchen, not because he was loyal to Zhao Junchen, but because the benefits that Zhao Junchen brought him far outweighed such a loss.

So, as soon as Cheng Yuandao's words fell, Zuo Lanshan came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister agrees with Lord Zhao's statement, now the imperial court's grain storage is embarrassed, and it must be changed, if there is no better way, it is not impossible to try Lord Zhao's proposal!" ”

Emperor Deqing didn't particularly care about the opinions of Cheng Yuandao and Zuo Lanshan, one of them was an old scholar with no power and power, and the other was just Zhao Junchen's follower, but Emperor Deqing still gave the two of them enough respect on the surface, and after nodding slightly, he turned his gaze to Shen Changmao and Zhou Shangjing, the first assistant.

Emperor Deqing paid more attention to the opinions of these two powerful elders, especially Zhou Shangjing's position!

Under the gaze of Emperor Deqing, Zhou Shangjing finally slowly came out of the ranks.

After coming out of the ranks, Zhou Shangjing first turned his head and glanced at Zhao Junchen, his eyes were quite meaningful.

Then, Zhou Shangjing said slowly: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Lord Zhao's statement is certainly very reasonable, but the opposition of the hundred officials is not wrong, both opinions need to be considered, why not take a step back and seek common ground while reserving differences?" Among Lord Zhao's five proposals, let's not talk about the last two points that are more controversial for the time being, but the first three proposals are quite meritorious! Among them, the promotion of the new compilation of agricultural books by the household department has been recognized by hundreds of officials in yesterday's morning, and can be vigorously implemented; The matter of restricting folk brewing to save grain and fill the granary is indeed very reasonable and can be implemented; Large-scale cultivation of potatoes and corn can also be tried in some places, and if the results are good, they can be promoted on a large scale according to Zhao's opinion......"

After a pause, Zhou Shangjing said again: "As for restricting the cultivation of cotton, tea, fruits, and other things by the people in the south, as well as the construction of irrigation measures by the imperial court with a large amount of silver, since the controversy is relatively large, it may as well be postponed!" ”

As Zhou Shangjing's words fell, Shen Changmao immediately stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks what Zhou Ge said is reasonable!" It is entirely possible to take a step back and seek common ground while reserving differences, and the controversial points may be discussed in detail in the future. ”

Then, the new cabinet elder Li He, as a die-hard supporter of Zhou Shangjing, also came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister also supports Zhou Gelao's proposal. ”

After hearing the views of Zhou Shangjing and Shen Changmao, Emperor Deqing said slowly: "The views of Shen Shoufu and Zhou Ge Lao and Li Ge Lao are Lao Cheng holding the country, and I also think the same way. In that case, let's leave this matter for now. ”

Zhou Shangjing's statement is, in a way, just a mud, but in the officialdom, "harmony mud" is often synonymous with "old and strong country", which deeply embodies the truth that "the so-called politics is mutual compromise".

At the same time, with Emperor Deqing's statement, this matter can be regarded as settled.

Whether it was Zhao Junchen or Baiguan, they did not object again.

As far as the hundred officials were concerned, whether it was the promotion of the new agricultural book, or the restriction of wine-making, or the large-scale cultivation of potatoes and corn, it would not harm their interests, as long as the imperial court did not restrict their fields from cultivating grain, and as long as the silver of their respective yamen was not reduced, then they would not forcibly oppose Zhao Junchen.

For Zhao Junchen, he has finally done some practical things, and the scene of him being besieged by hundreds of officials today falls into the eyes of Emperor Deqing, which will also dispel Emperor Deqing's vigilance to a certain extent.

Moreover, Zhao Junchen still did not give up the last two proposals, and in the future, Zhao Junchen will still try his best to fight, and will still debate with the officials, which can further dispel the vigilance of Emperor Deqing, and can also gradually test the bottom line of the officials, and then launch a new proposal that most people can reluctantly accept.

The new proposal is naturally less effective than the original one, but it is better than endless debate.

On the other hand, because of the long-term argument between Zhao Junchen and the hundred officials, Emperor Deqing was already a little tired, and after seeing that Zhao Junchen and the hundred officials had no objection, he directly announced the next dynasty.
