Chapter 419: Watch a good show
The four kinds of people mentioned by Yang Feng are the summary of the CEOs and elites of many enterprises in later generations, although they cannot be said to be absolutely correct, but they are indeed very reasonable.
Hearing Yang Feng ask himself, Zhu Youxiao snorted, "I don't understand, you make it clear to me, otherwise I won't be done with you." ”
Yang Feng glanced at Zhang Yan, who was standing at the door, and Zhu Youxiao and Wei Zhongxian, who were looking at him with some curiosity, explained: "It's not for nothing that the minister commented on King Xin. ”
Speaking of this, Yang Feng turned his head to Wei Zhongxian and said, "Father-in-law Wei, when did His Royal Highness the King of Shicai Xin come?" ”
Wei Zhongxian secretly glanced at Zhu Youxiao, and Zhu Youxiao snorted lightly and scolded: "You old thing, look at what I have done, don't hurry back to Jiang Ningbo's words." ”
"Whoa!" Wei Zhongxian said helplessly: "Shicai, our family went out to the noon gate to persuade Gao Panlong and those officials to go back to the yamen on an errand, but King Xin suddenly appeared, seeing King Xin's arrival, those officials outside the noon gate were as excited as taking aphrodisiacs, and finally hundreds of people rushed towards the noon gate, if it wasn't for Jiang Ningbo arriving in time and killing an imperial historian who tried to break into the palace on the spot, I'm afraid they would have rushed in." ”
"Do you hear that?" Yang Feng spread his hands helplessly, "From this incident, you can see that His Royal Highness King Xinwang is a person, maybe His Royal Highness King Xinwang did not take advantage of your serious illness to usurp the throne." But when the ministers gathered at the noon gate, King Xin, as a party, should have avoided suspicion, but anyone who is not stupid will close the door, but King Xin came out with a swagger, and came outside the noon gate, Your Majesty, do you say he is stupid? ”
Zhu Youxiao smashed his mouth, and he didn't know what to say. It seems that his stupid brother's IQ is really a little in arrears, and he can't even look down on his brother for what he has done, you say that even if you have an idea about the position under my ass, the most correct way is to stay at home honestly, and when the matter is over, the Donglin Party who is looking forward to my death will naturally can't wait to push you to the throne.
But you actually jumped out by yourself, and you personally ran to the noon gate to brush your sense of existence, you don't mean shouting to the world, Lao Tzu is going to put up a flag, everyone hurry up and stand in line. I've seen stupid people, but I've never seen anyone as stupid as you.
Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but sigh, and he didn't know what to say.
Seeing that Zhu Youxiao was so squeezed by Yang Feng that he couldn't speak, Zhang Yan, who was standing at the door, didn't agree, and his apricot eyes were glaring, "Jiang Ningbo, how did you talk to Your Majesty, are you such a courtier?" ”
Yang Feng looked at it and got ...... As soon as he said Zhu Youxiao, his daughter-in-law didn't agree, and she really scolded her husband and daughter-in-law.
Rubbing his nose and spreading his hands, "Okay, since the queen mother has said so, then Wechen won't say it, but Wechen has to remind His Majesty that there is no contradiction between family affection and Jiangshan Sheji, but the premise is that you must deal with the relationship between them." ”
Yang Feng's words were very obscure, Zhang Yan on the side was confused, and even Wei Zhongxian was a little puzzled, but Zhu Youxiao understood it very magically, and after muttering for a long time, he nodded slowly: "Yang Aiqing, I probably understood what you said, you mean that I am an emperor first, and then an elder brother." As an elder brother, even if I prefer my younger brother, it's understandable, but there is a premise, that is, not to endanger the country, is that so? ”
"The children can be taught."
Yang Feng showed a pleased smile on his face, it was really in vain that he had instilled him in the past two years, and Comrade Xiao Zhu's ideological consciousness had improved rapidly.
"Your Majesty is right, people can be ruthless, Your Majesty cherishes and believes in the brotherhood between King Xin, which is understandable, but this kind of friendship cannot be premised on harming the society of the country. For example, before the ministers forced the palace and coerced the mother to make a decree to let the king of Xin supervise the country, you know better than anyone what this means.
The three mothers were pregnant, but the officials outside the palace turned a blind eye, thinking about putting King Xin on the throne, did they not understand the truth that the son inherited the father's business? No...... They know better than anyone that they do this because once King Shin ascends the throne, all your previous efforts will be in vain, and they will be able to return to the good old days when the gentry did not have to pay taxes, the sea was forbidden, and they could make a lot of money for themselves. ”
Zhu Youxiao's lips squirmed a few times, and he said stupidly for a long time: "Is it really so unbearable to believe in the king?" ”
"Yes!" Yang Feng said solemnly: "As seen by the ministers, King Xin is smart and confident but suspicious, humble and self-assured, diligent and impatient and arbitrary, and it is not a blessing for the Ming Dynasty to let such a person ascend to the throne of God." ”
In another time and space, Zhu Youzhen reigned for 17 years. In those 17 years, he changed 50 cabinet members. Kill two cabinet chiefs, kill or force suicide by as many as 11 governors or governors, kill 11 governors, and force 1 to die. He was arrested and put in prison, beaten, indirectly forced to die, killed in battle, committed suicide, and sentenced to dozens of officials at the provincial and ministerial levels.
In the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, that is, three years before his death, as many as 145 officials with ministerial qualifications were imprisoned in prison, which was almost one-tenth of the number of officials with ministerial qualifications at that time.
Another example is that Zhu Youzhen allowed Yuan Chonghuan to kill the fierce general Mao Wenlong, and then killed Yuan Chonghuan with his backhand. Another example is that he favored Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian, and forced to death Lu Xiangsheng, who could be called the most capable general in the late Ming Dynasty, and was in a hurry to fight with Huang Taiji, forcing Hong Chengchou to attack in advance, and finally cut off the last army that could fight in the Ming Dynasty, and then forced the famous general Sun Chuanting to death because he was in a hurry to fight a decisive battle with Li Zicheng.
Sometimes when I see this history of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Feng even wonders if Zhu Youzhen is a traitor sent by the Jurchens to specifically plague the Ming Dynasty, you must know that when Zhu Youzhen first succeeded to the throne, although the strength of the Ming Dynasty continued to decline, but the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and the rotten ship still had three catties of nails.
It's just that you don't know how to use people and don't have strategic vision, but the problem is that this product doesn't have the means of an emperor at all.
As an emperor, the most important thing is the word "balance", but Chongzhen's biggest mistake is to reuse the Donglin party. You must know that in another time and space, Comrade Zhu Youxiao of Ming Xizong specially told his younger brother Chongzhen before his death that Wei Zhongxian "is cautious and loyal, and can calculate great things".
As the saying goes, people are about to die, and their words are also good. Zhu Youxiao gave such a high evaluation of Wei Zhongxian at the last moment of his life, although it was mixed with personal feelings, but the most important thing was that he realized that Wei Zhongxian was sober and decisive in dealing with "big things", especially on the key issues of maintaining the overall situation, knowing people well, and distinguishing rewards and punishments.
If Emperor Chongzhen listened to Zhu Youxiao's words and continued to appoint Wei Zhongxian, then the Donglin Party would never have been so rampant in the future, and the finances of the Ming Dynasty would not have become so bad. After Chongzhen came to power, he clicked Wei Zhongxian without saying a word, and swept away the entire eunuch party in the imperial court.
After he did so, he won the unanimous praise of the Manchu officials and the cheers and praises of the Holy Lord. But the evil consequences of this were soon revealed, the Donglin Party family without opponents was dominant, and within a few years, the entire court was filled with Donglin Party members, but these people of the Donglin Party let them talk about it and brag about it, but it is absolutely impossible to let them govern the country. Under the governance of the Donglin Party, the last trace of vitality of the Ming Dynasty was also quickly consumed, and seventeen years later, Chongzhen was forced to hang himself on the crooked neck tree by a guy who was born as a post boy with a group of mud legs, until he was dying, he shouted out "All officials in the world can be killed", but it was too late by then.
Looking at Yang Feng, who was talking across paragraphs, our father-in-law Wei secretly gave a thumbs up on the side, and secretly gave Yang Feng thirty-two likes, Jiang Ningbo, you are good. Constantly daring to say that his younger brother was a fool in front of the emperor, and he said it several times in a row, even my father-in-law Wei didn't dare to do this kind of thing, you actually said it so fluently, is it really good to do it like that? If the boss turns his face in anger, I won't speak for you.
Facts have proved that Emperor Zhu Youxiao's mind is still good, he did not get angry or reprimand Yang Feng, but sighed lightly and said faintly: "King Xin has been related to me since he was a child, and my situation was very bad when my father was not the crown prince. At that time, I was only accompanied by Kebaba and most of the two people, and there was not even a single guard outside my dormitory, and sometimes even the money could not be paid on time. Sometimes my father would occasionally send me and King Shin some delicious things, but I always couldn't eat enough, so King Shin would secretly give me half of what he had given him, although there were few things, but I was really happy at that time. ”
Zhu Youxiao said slowly, and everyone in the room listened silently, although Zhu Youxiao's voice was not loud, everyone could hear the feelings between Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youzhen from the words.
Yang Feng also sighed secretly in his heart, he finally understood why in another time and space, after Zhu Youxiao knew that his life was short, why he would not hesitate to pass on the country to Zhu Youzhen. This is not only because Zhu Youzhen is his younger brother, but also because the brothers between them are really deep.
And Yang Feng also heard another meaning from Zhu Youxiao's words, Zhu Youxiao knew that Yang Feng was a person who refused to suffer, although he knew very well that Yang Feng had absolutely no problem with his loyalty. But it's not good to say anything about his younger brother, although Yang Feng won't be ruthless to Zhu Youzhen afterwards, it is not difficult to embarrass him behind his back or give him a wrench or something. So when Zhu Youxiao said this, he was telling Yang Feng that the relationship between me and King Xin is very good, and you can't mess around.
With a long sigh, Yang Feng shook his head helplessly and said, "That's it, since Your Majesty said so, what else can the minister say." Now that His Majesty's high fever has subsided, his body and bones will naturally recover after ten days and a half months of recuperation, and the minister originally planned to block the news of His Majesty's recovery for ten days and a half months, but now it seems that it is not necessary. Since this is the case, the minister thought that His Majesty could summon the Manchu civil and military as soon as possible to calm people's hearts. ”
Zhu Youxiao thought about it, and suddenly smiled: "Since this is the case, it is better to give an order to the court now, what does Yang Aiqing think?" ”
"Go to court now?"
Yang Feng was taken aback, "Your Majesty, it's noon now, and the time of the early dynasty has long passed." ”
"You can go on after that." It was rare to see Yang Feng's surprised appearance, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but feel a little proud, "I am the emperor, who would dare to refuse to convene the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to discuss the matter?" ”
Yang Feng hadn't spoken yet, but Zhang Yan on the side was anxious, "Your Majesty, your fever has just subsided, how can you go to the court to discuss matters, no matter how anxious you are, you have to cultivate for three or five days before you can go to the court." ”
"Three or five days?" Zhu Youxiao sneered: "I have only been in a coma for a few days, and some people in the court can't wait to choose the next emperor for me. ”
Hearing that her husband said it so seriously, Zhang Yan stopped persuading. In fact, after this incident, Zhang Yan has a deeper understanding of the virtues of those officials in the court, they really do anything for their own selfish interests, their husbands are just lying in bed for more than ten days, they dare to force the palace to threaten themselves, if they delay for a few more days, they don't know what will happen.
Seeing that Zhang Yan no longer objected, Zhu Youxiao turned his head to Yang Feng and said, "Yang Aiqing, what do you think?" ”
"Okay, you're the emperor, you have the final say." Seeing that Zhu Youxiao had already made a decision, Yang Feng shrugged his shoulders and no longer objected.
"That's good!"
Zhu Youxiao's spirit suddenly became a little excited, and he raised his voice and said, "Where is Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch of the celebrant and the pen!" ”
"The slave is here!" Hearing that Zhu Youxiao rarely called his official position and full name, Wei Zhongxian hurriedly stood in front of the bed and knelt down.
"Ring the Jingyang bell immediately and summon civil and military officials to the palace for an audience!" Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao paused before continuing: "By the way, let King Xin also go to court." ”
"Whew...... Slave obeys! Wei Zhongxian kowtowed respectfully, with a hint of joy in his eyes, and then stood up and took a few steps back before turning around and walking out of the room.
Seeing Wei Zhongxian's figure disappear at the door, Principal Zhu You let out a sigh and smiled at Yang Feng: "I have been lying on the bed for more than ten days, but I didn't expect so many things to happen in the court, and today I really want to know what those people's faces were like when they saw that I was not dead." ”
Yang Feng smiled and said, "Then there is no need to say, Your Majesty's appearance will definitely surprise and delight many people!" ”
"Hahaha...... I think so, too! Zhu Youxiao laughed: "Let's watch a good show together today, what does Yang Aiqing think?" ”
Yang Feng made a deep bow to Zhu Youxiao, "The minister dares to disobey his orders!" ”
