Chapter 203 How to poke the hornet's nest with the second scroll
Feng Ziying's words brightened the atmosphere in the room, and even Guan Yingzhen couldn't help shaking his head and smiling.
Yes, isn't this the goal the academy pursues?
If you feel that the situation reflected in the articles of the Academy is problematic, you are welcome to refute it, and you can even have another face-to-face debate.
It goes without saying that he won, even if he really lost, it would be an honor to lose.
At least it proved that Qingtan Academy dared to challenge the ministries of the imperial court. This courage can be regarded as a model for scholars.
Once this kind of influence spreads out, one can imagine the impact on the entire Shilin.
It can be said that this article has spent so much painstaking effort on every word, it is to find out the most challenging, sensitive and controversial issues, to hit a hit, and to cause controversy among the important officials in the court. The topic is fermented to the maximum extent, and then spread.
Not afraid of controversy, not afraid of counterattack, 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 did not resort to all means to expand its reputation and influence. At least it spent a lot of thought on topic selection and preparation, and it really started from the perspective of pinpointing current problems. If there is no change, it is also a merit.
"Ziying, I know your intentions, well, I agree with all these issues, but you have to keep in mind one thing, don't forget your heart, it becomes a fault-finding, it becomes a quid pro quo, What is the purpose of our study? If you are poor, you will benefit yourself;
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 were all awe-inspiring, obviously they all agreed with Guan Yingzhen's point of view.
As a means, in order to gain greater influence, this is not wrong, but it cannot go to the other extreme, forgetting what the purpose of this means is, still need to firmly hold on to find out the problems and reforms, so that the court and the People benefit from it.
Guan Yingzhen was very relieved to see that all the disciples were solemnly remembering. The self-motivation of students at this age is often the purest and most simple, but is it possible that after they embark on the road of official career, can they still be able to do so? Maintain such aggressiveness?Will he be infiltrated by all kinds of filth in the world and lose his original heart?
It's just that no one can give an accurate answer to this kind of question, and everyone will use their own life to hand in the answer sheet.
*******
"It's kind of interesting. Is this Qi Chengfeng and Guan Dongxian bringing a group of disciples to subvert the imperial court's plan?" Coldly throwing a stack of manuscripts on the desk, the old man with chicken skin and white hair put his body aside contemptuously , "Bo Xiao, how did these things get delivered to you?"
"Looking back, Master Fu, this is what Shi Lang Qi handed over to me when I was discussing the issue of military pay on the Nine Frontiers." Zheng Jizhi, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, said calmly: "Si Lang Qi is dedicated to serving the country, and I understand it, but it's just like this." I am afraid that it is not the blessing of the imperial court to be eager for success."
Shen Yiguan pondered and said: "Bo Xiao, in your opinion, what is this Qi Chengfeng planning to do? And your little fellow, Guan Dongxian, who will take over as the head of Qingtan Academy is going to make a big mess." Is it a big deal? I heard that Zhou Yongchun also went to Qingtan Academy?"
A series of questions made it difficult for Zheng Jizhi to answer, so he hesitated for a while before saying: "In my opinion, Dong Xian may not be able to make such a move alone. Qi Chengfeng returned to the Ministry of Officials for only a few months, and such If the article is not carefully planned, it is difficult to come up with it. It has to be said that the examples and specific disadvantages listed in it all exist, but..."
Zheng Jizhi didn't go on, and couldn't go on.
He didn't want to be the minister of the household department for a long time. He could be any official in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but he couldn't be the minister of the household department and the servant of the left and right.
If you become the Secretary of the Household Department, half of your life will be lost. It is a real suffering. The people who block the Household Office every day can send out a long queue, and the people waiting at your door can also make you don’t even think about it. Rest before hitting.
"But what, isn't it that there are too many people who benefit, and everyone is staring at it? Are you and I entangled in it? What's the matter?" Shen Yitong sneered contemptuously: "Besides, this is the old system, you and I Can it be changed at will?"
"Master Shoufu, if this goes on, I'm afraid there will be chaos on the Nine Sides." Zheng Jizhi couldn't help it.
He does not agree with the suggestion of this article, but he does not deny that this article is indeed hit by the disadvantages of the time, and it raises the huge problem of the current opening of China and France. to solve it, but it is obviously unrealistic.
Although he had already written his resignation letter, the emperor never approved it, but instead encouraged him to continue sharing his worries.
The problem is that he asked himself that he couldn't do it, that a clever woman can't cook without rice, and that the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs was not done by a human being.
He also heard that Qi Yongtai originally intended to come to the Ministry of Households to serve as the servant of the left.
Zheng Jizhi didn't think that Qi Yongtai could cause much trouble in the Ministry of Officials. As long as the court structure remained unchanged, the few people sitting in the cabinet remained the same, and the emperor had no big thoughts, then everything would not change much.
So he has long been mentally and mentally exhausted, eager to return to his hometown to recuperate as soon as possible, and wait for the young men like Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen to come up to take care of this mess.
Why is Shen Yiguan not clear about the problem?Being able to sit in this position and not even be able to see these things would really be a joke.
The question is, what can we do if we see it? The Supreme Emperor went to the south of the Yangtze River six times in 20 years, and spent a lot of money to bring down such a big famine and poke such a big hole. Who will carry it?Do you really think those businessmen are good people?
In the past 20 years, countless people have tried to lift the cover. Which one has succeeded?One crop after another, the people who died because of this are afraid that the trees on the graves are all ten feet high, right?
Do you really think that the new emperor ascended the throne, so you can make a fuss again?
Shen Yiguan really didn't have the energy anymore. It was enough for him to go through such a thing once. He didn't dare to talk about bloody storms, but countless people lost their positions and hats, and no one could please them.
Well, there are still people who can please, and those officials who are waiting in line can take some chances.
Thinking of the issue of military pay on the Nine Sides, Shen always has a headache. This is also an unsolvable problem. Where will the money come to fill this hole? The emperor opened the case of mine supervision and tax supervision. No one knows that there is a huge risk in this, but everyone is silent. Hey, only the stupid young people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate who don't understand world affairs are playing bullets all day long, is it useful?
If anyone dares to say that he can solve the problem of military pay on the nine sides, he may be able to persuade the emperor to withdraw the mine supervisor and tax supervisor, but who can?
If he could, the person in front of him wouldn't be clamoring for resignation all the time.
And from the bottom of his heart, Shen always does not think there is a problem with the establishment of tax and mining supervisors.
The Ming system followed by the Great Zhou has some problems. The commercial tax rate and how to collect it have been controversial since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there has been no result until now. In the end, it still follows the model of the previous Ming. The consequences are self-evident. .
The gang of Jiangnan and Shanxi merchants are full of food, and they don't want to serve the country and relieve the monarch's worries. They are also quite powerful in the court. These scholars are all decent in name, but they are behind the scenes of the merchants. I don't know how many.
Thinking of this, Shen Yiguan couldn't help laughing at himself, he said it openly, but didn't his wife and nephew also have countless jobs?It's just that I can only close my eyes and pretend not to know.
With a deep sigh, Shen Yiguan opened some cloudy but still energetic eyes, pondered for a while before saying: "Bo Xiao, this matter is easy to be quiet and not easy to move, let's put it there, if Qi Chengfeng really wants to fight What kind of idea will not succeed, if he can dance alone, what can he do if no one agrees?"
"Master Shoufu, I'm afraid it won't be so simple, then the Metropolitan Procuratorate..." Zheng Jizhi reminded.
"I know that I will go to say hello to Qiao Yingjia. I believe the personal friendship between Qi Yongtai and him will not affect his judgment. It would be unwise to do it knowingly that he can't do it." Shen Yiguan weighed it.
"Of course, I also know that Qiao Yingjia's side is not easy to deal with. He has to give an explanation to both sides. I'm afraid those censors are already as excited as mad dogs by now, but I want to give him a break. There is a line that cannot be crossed, and the overall situation must be considered.”
It's not so easy to deal with the stunned young people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Qiao Yingjia's new official took office, and it's impossible to misfire at the first shot. I'm afraid he needs to find some people to sacrifice the flag. Thinking of this, Shen Yiguan feels a headache.
Over there, I have to report it to the Supreme Emperor, so as not to make the Supreme Emperor feel that I have indulged on purpose, but the Emperor should be able to understand my intentions, but I also need to report to the Emperor, I hope the Emperor can understand my own intentions With good intentions, please suppress Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia.
"Master Shoufu, I have to remind you, I'm afraid Qi Yongtai won't just come out that easily, you also know his temper, even if this matter can be suppressed, he will definitely have other ways When Zheng Jizhi got up to leave, he couldn't help reminding 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 big picture clearly, and doesn't care about the big picture."
Looking at Zheng Jizhi's leaving figure, Shen Yiguan couldn't help but sighed again, he suddenly felt that his self-proclaimed incomparable energy seemed to be really a little bit useless, maybe he was really old?
