Jingtai Fenghua

Chapter 362 Reprimanding Chen Xun

Chen Xun said that he hoped that the next time he promoted the New Deal, he would take the lead, and Lin Cunde stared at Chen Xun!

Chen Xun didn't know what Lin Cunde meant, so why was he staring at him? So he raised his hands and asked Lin Cunde, "Is there anything wrong with it?"

"That's not true. It's just that you are the chief minister of the cabinet. If you go down below to promote the New Deal, and your Majesty has something that you don't understand about handling government affairs, who can you ask to find out?" Lin Cunde shook his head and closed his eyes again. What is Chen Xun's actual purpose? My own clear one!

The purpose of his going down is not to promote the New Deal, but to save some people, and he doesn't want all his disciples to be dealt with!

"It doesn't matter. Jiang Yuan is doing very well now, and there are so many ministers in the court. I would like to ask the Marquis of Luling to recommend me to go!" Chen Xun said, raising his hands to Lin Cunde!

Lin Cunde leaned there and did not directly answer Chen Xun's words. In fact, Chen Xun knew about it, which meant that Lin Cunde did not agree.

"I still don't have a thorough understanding of the New Deal, which is why there are so many misunderstandings. Therefore, I want to go and promote it myself!" Chen Xun said his reasons again!

After hearing this, Lin Cunde just nodded!

Seeing that Lin Cunde had not spoken yet, Chen Xun continued to ask, "Does the Marquis have any other concerns?"

"You can't promote it. You are not here to promote it. You are there to save your disciples. Everyone knows this. Therefore, even if I agree, His Majesty will not agree!" Lin Cunde sat up and drank tea with a cup in his hand. When he was done, he poured himself a glass and leaned back again.

"Well, Lord Marquis, you can't say this, right? The mistakes made by those disciples were not very big. We can't waste their lives and their decades of hard work in studying just because of one mistake. This minister thinks it is inappropriate. !" Chen Xun was a little annoyed when he heard Lin Cunde's refusal, and stared at Lin Cunde and said.

"Does the Ming Dynasty lack scholars, but does the Ming Dynasty have officials waiting for vacancies? Since they are not dedicated to the people, and they also plunder the people, why should they be kept? Should they be kept to continue to harm the people? Mr. Chen Ge, what are you thinking? , I still don’t understand? I don’t believe that you really don’t know about some of the actions of the officials below?” Lin Cunde heard that Chen Xun dared to refute, and immediately retorted!

"Yes, but everyone has done this before!" Chen Xun was still arguing.

"If everyone does this, does it mean it is right? Why did everyone do this before? During the Hongwu period, did you dare to do this? During the Yongle period, did you dare to do this? Isn't it just these decades? Don't tell me that you can't live. , our Ming Dynasty is not without upright officials, and there are quite a few!

If others can live, why can't they?

Moreover, the officials who were previously thought to be corrupt were able to explain the source of the money, and His Majesty reinstated them to their posts and even promoted them!

It's not that officials should not be allowed to have money. You have to explain the source of the money in a reasonable way. As long as they are not corrupt and plundering the people, your Majesty will not punish them. But what kind of moral character do the disciples below you have? , you don’t know? It’s up to you to promote it. Should you promote it or be a good guy?

Wang Zhi and I said this at the beginning, and now I also give this to you. If you help them, who will help you? They are in prison now or are about to enter prison. You go to rescue them. But when you are about to enter prison, who will rescue you?

In addition, is it worth rescuing them? Are they doing great service to our Ming Dynasty, or are they beneficial to the people? They are just your disciples. You don't even care about your own children and grandchildren. Why do you still care about your children and grandchildren?

If you keep going, do you plan to take all your children and grandchildren into prison together? If you think so, I have nothing to say, but it is not your turn to promote the New Deal! It’s impossible to let you go? The corrupt officials of Ming Dynasty do not need you to be a good person. Your Majesty does not need it, and the people of Ming Dynasty do not need it. You do not need to be moved by yourself, thinking that you have made great contributions to Ming Dynasty by rescuing them!

The people of the Ming Dynasty will not recognize it. They will only point their fingers at you and scold you as a corrupt official. Your Majesty will only hate you and say that you are a party member for personal gain!

Let me make it clear today, so that you can save yourself the trouble of coming to me. Every time you come to me, you are always tempted!

You don’t need to test me! Lin Cunde opened his eyes and scolded Chen Xun!

Chen Xun was stunned when he heard Lin Cunde's words. He didn't expect that Lin Cunde said it so directly and so seriously!

"You have to think about the rest. The road is at your own feet. I can't stop you from going any way. I still say the same thing. I promised you before that I won't let you die. I still do this. Yes, but for the rest, don't come to me, you are seeking death, I can't stop you!" Lin Cunde continued to say to Chen Xun!

Chen Xun just stared at Lin Cunde with his eyes open, his mind going blank!

Lin Cunde's words were very serious, and he directly said what the end of Chen Xun would be, that is, imprisonment!

"No, I, I, I, I!" Chen Xun wanted to say something, but his mind was empty and he was frightened!

"Do you think the civil servants below will really consider you? Do you know what the ministers below are thinking? Do you know if they are deliberately taking advantage of you? Don't be so confident! You can't solve your own safety, and you still want to help others solve it. , do you have this ability? Who can you protect? Which disciples can you protect? If your disciples commit a crime, you fish them out. If I know about it, I will send him in at any time!

Who can you fish out? You can't even make money for your own family! Still thinking about this much? Think about yourself first, right?

Don't say I didn't warn you!

As a fellow countryman, I have reminded you several times! Is it the most direct this time?

You are the chief minister of the cabinet, and you and His Majesty are not close to each other. Whose problem is this? If His Majesty is a coward, perhaps there are extenuating circumstances. Let me ask you, has His Majesty been able to act like a coward in the more than a year since he inherited the Great Unification? Is it because the harem is getting bigger, is it because people are killing people indiscriminately, is it because they have increased taxes on the people, is it because they have lost the war, or is it because of large-scale construction projects? Nothing at all!

Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, the internal funds have been empty, and the national treasury has been empty. Now, the internal funds are rich, and the national treasury is also rich!

People pay less taxes and officials’ salaries are higher!

Ming's army has become more effective!

Since Your Majesty is not a coward, why do you have to check His Majesty in everything?

Your Majesty wants to kill those corrupt officials, is it wrong? For those who don’t know, you might think that all those officials have given you gifts and are seeking your asylum?

Even so, who can you protect? "Lin Cunde continued to question Chen Xun directly!

Chen Xun sat there dumbfounded, his eyes almost dull!

Lin Cunde ignored him and leaned back again, lying there thinking about something. He was originally going to the Ministry of Industry, but Chen Xun came over, which really delayed things!

After a while, Chen Xun took a cup of tea and drank a cup of tea. Lin Cunde sat up and served Chen Xun a cup!

"I did think wrong. I really can't protect anyone. But, Lord Marquis, I also have my difficulties. Now, His Majesty has the power. Just because he doesn't kill people now, doesn't mean he won't kill people in the future!" Chen Xun looked at Lin Cunde's firm expression. said.

After Lin Cunde heard this, he looked at it coldly! He also knew in his heart that Chen Xun was stubborn and he chose to stand on the opposite side of His Majesty!

"I have my own judgment. I am not saying that I want to protect those corrupt officials. I just think that His Majesty is too harsh on the officials below. Many officials did this before. There has been no problem for so many years. Now that His Majesty has ascended the throne, Just start investigating, this is unfair to many officials!" Chen Xun wanted to persuade Lin Cunde not to be so harsh on those officials!

After hearing this, Lin Cunde smiled and said: "What do you mean? Not to be held accountable at all? Is it possible? Is this fair to those honest and honest officials? You want to be fair to those corrupt officials, so I ask Do you, those honest officials, want to be fair? Whose fairness is more important?"

Chen Xun opened his mouth, but couldn't refute! He protects those corrupt officials, but who will protect those honest officials? Don’t they need fairness?

After a while, Chen Xuncai said: "I hope to give them a chance to atone for their sins!"

"Opportunity?" After hearing this, Lin Cunde repeated the word, and then said with a smile: "I don't know how many of the officials waiting for vacancies in the Ming Dynasty, as well as those who were promoted, and even the Jinshi in the past few years, who have not yet obtained their positions, are given If they have a chance, how can we give those waiting officials a chance?"

Chen Xun was refuted by Lin Cunde and didn't know what to say!

Lin Cunde didn't want to force him to change his ways, he just wanted to make it clear. If he didn't listen, he couldn't do it. No one could stop someone who wanted to die, so he smiled and said, "You have your persistence, and I have mine." No one can convince anyone of my views, so there’s nothing to say!”

"Yes!" Chen Xun still hopes to win Lin Cunde's support to support him in promoting the New Deal. He knows that without Lin Cunde's support, it is impossible to be appointed!

"Well, what else do you want?" Lin Cunde looked at Chen Xun with a smile and asked.

"I still want to go down there and promote it, please don't stop me!" Chen Xun thought, as long as Lin Cunde doesn't stop him, he still has a chance!

"Just give it a try, who are you working for? Are you working for the people or for those corrupt officials? Chen Xun, don't come to my house from now on. You can do whatever you want! Look! For the sake of my fellow countrymen, I will not go to His Majesty to impeach you, but I hope you will take care of yourself!" When Lin Cunde heard this, he was furious!

There is no room for error in implementing the New Deal. He, Chen Xun, is not here to implement the New Deal, but to help those corrupt officials. Lin Cunde can agree to this!

When Chen Xun heard Lin Cunde's words, he stood up in surprise.

"Those who can't tell right from wrong know that they insist on things that may not necessarily happen in the future. Even if His Majesty may kill people indiscriminately in the future, it is right to kill corrupt officials now! You, Chen Xun, don't have such great ability to stop it! Back then, too much Zu Ye killed people, and now you guys are out too? Don’t you still want to contain His Majesty?

Talents come out in every generation, it's not your turn, Chen Xun, to think about the future! "Lin Cunde shouted at Chen Xun, this man seems to be possessed by a demon!
