Jingtai Fenghua

Chapter 415 Yu Qian’s speculation

Wang Wen and Yu Qian were talking about Chen Xun and Jiang Yuan. Wang Wen was worried about Jiang Yuan. Once Jiang Yuan came up, he would be more influential than Chen Xun. Therefore, Wang Wen wanted Jiang Yuan to come up. of!

And Yu Qian also believed that it was impossible for Jiang Yuan to go up. After all, Zhu Qiyu was not Zhu Qizhen. He had been competing for power with civil servants in the past few years. Now that he had finally obtained the power, how could he give it to the ministers below easily!

Wang Wen stroked his beard and said to Yu Qian, "If this is the case, that's fine, but I hope your majesty can understand! However, Chen Xun went to Lin Cunde yesterday, and today your majesty is going to Lin Cunde's house. I guess Lin Cunde will definitely tell your majesty!"

Yu Qian drank tea with a cup in hand. After drinking, he smiled and said to Wang Wen: "This matter is probably not the focus. We may talk about it, but it is definitely not the focus. This matter has nothing to do with what His Majesty has to do this year. No matter how important it is, His Majesty hopes to surpass Emperor Taizong. Otherwise, how can he go down and explain to his ancestors?

Therefore, your majesty is ambitious and works hard to govern. At least, this is the case in the past few years, and it is estimated that it will be similar in the next few years. Unless we surpass Taizong, Renzong and Xuanzong in the prosperous period of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise, your majesty is probably You won't let up easily, but once you surpass it, you won't know it anymore!

And at that time, His Majesty was probably in great power, and no one could restrain His Majesty! "

"Yes!" Jiang Yuan nodded, and then said: "This is also what I am worried about, so sometimes I also wonder whether it is right for me to support His Majesty now, and whether I should join Chen Xun and others to restrict His Majesty power? However, I also know that Your Majesty has actually done a good job. Although Chen Xun and others want to limit His Majesty’s power, they should not interfere with Your Majesty’s anti-corruption and implementation of the New Deal. Therefore, sometimes, I hesitate !”

"Ha!" Yu Qian smiled after hearing this!

"What? I'm thinking wrong?" Wang Wen saw Yu Qian like this and said with a smile.

Yu Qian shook his head and said: "I won't think so much. I only need to consider whether His Majesty's administration is beneficial to the people and Ming Dynasty. If it is beneficial, I will support it. If it is not beneficial, I will support it." I will oppose it, even if I fight to the death, I will oppose it!

Now His Majesty is doing well, very well, and with Lin Cunde helping him, he has not made any mistakes!

Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about Wang Zhi and Chen Xun. If they were placed in other dynasties, their homes would probably have been confiscated long ago. They could still be allowed to continue serving in the court, but His Majesty still let them go!

In addition, His Majesty will excommunicate corrupt officials, only those who have committed huge amounts of money and have done great harm to the people. For general corrupt officials, Your Majesty will only exile them!

Judging from the current situation, His Majesty is not a bloodthirsty emperor, at least not as bloodthirsty as Taizu!

Even in Shanxi and Shaanxi, there is no rebellion!

Can you tell anything from these? "

Therefore, I don’t consider your worries!

"Huh?" When Wang Wen heard this, his eyes suddenly widened and he stared at Yu Qian!

"Have you thought of it? I only thought of it recently. I was wondering why His Majesty had to fight corruption before implementing the New Deal. It doesn't matter. You can implement the New Deal first and then fight corruption. But now that I think about it, His Majesty still considered it far-reaching!

First, we fought against corruption, rectified the officialdom, took back those fields, and then handed them over to the people for planting. Not only did we gain the hearts of the people, they also made those officials dare not think about confiscating the land, so that all the land was put into the hands of the people. Now, He does not hesitate to hold almost 20 million acres of land in his hands, which can be cultivated by 20 million people and enough to feed 30 million people. Our Ming Dynasty only has 80 million people!

There will be ministers to consider it in the future. Your Majesty has to rely on ministers to do things after all. It is not difficult for ministers to limit your majesty's power!

Taizu had the support of many people back then, so he dared to kill people like this!

If Your Majesty is as kind to the people as Taizu, why not kill some corrupt officials?

They don't give the people a way to live, so does your Majesty still need to give them a way to live?

Besides, the New Deal has really given the people a way to live. In addition, I don’t know if you have discovered, or if you have counted, how much farmland your Majesty has in your hands now. Those farmlands are all distributed to the people for planting. It’s just that Just pay the talent, His Majesty did not ask them to pay more taxes!

Now think about it, since His Majesty resettled the refugees to farm, is there still rebellion now? Since last fall, there has been no rebellion!

Because I know that His Majesty is an emperor who truly considers the people!

This is enough, enough for me, Yu Qian, to work hard for him! "Yu Qian sat there and said with emotion!

Wang Wen also stood up in surprise at this moment and stared at Yu Qian!

Think about it for yourself, Your Majesty used this method to save the 30 million people of Ming Dynasty from starvation!

What a feat, what courage, what wisdom!

So you said, "Do you want to restrict His Majesty's power?" I don't agree with it. Your Majesty has done a good job!

Why do you say that I will do whatever His Majesty asks me to do now!

"Haha, are you scared? Are you convinced?" Yu Qian stared at Wang Wen and said.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, have you considered so far-reaching? Ah? If you hadn't said anything today, I wouldn't have even thought of going here! This, this, I!" Wang Wen was also shocked and speechless at this moment. !

"This is Lin Cunde's ability, so when those civil servants attack Lin Cunde, huh, I strongly disagree! Lin Cunde is beneficial to the country, the people, and officials. They and their gang will deny it at the first glance. How can they OK?

This time, those civil servants haven't really attacked yet. Let's see how I will respond if they attack!

Lin Cunde, Marquis of Luling, Lin Shouming, I admire you, I am so impressed that I fall to the ground! "Yu Qian said with emotion again. "Hey, haha, you and I are both people who have read poetry and books, and we are also people who want to serve the people wholeheartedly. Why can't we think of this? Why can't we do it? No wonder Your Majesty trusts the Marquis of Luling. If you don't trust such a person, who can you trust? "Wang Wen said with emotion at this moment.

"So, for some things, let's not look at the surface, but think deeply. Jiang Yuan, it is impossible to control the government. With Lin Cunde here, it is impossible. Lin Cunde will deal with him, it will be very easy!

Do you think Lin Cunde has no influence on civil servants? Wang Zhi and Xie Yonghe, they definitely support Lin Cunde!

If they were asked to choose between Lin Cunde and Jiang Yuan, they would not care about Lin Cunde in small matters. Look at big matters, they would definitely support Lin Cunde!

Even I support Lin Cunde!

At that time, Jiang Yuan will only be able to control the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Rites, and not necessarily the Ministry of Rites!

But Lin Cunde was able to get the support of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Industry, as well as the support of many military honors and generals!

He, Jiang Yuan, wants to monopolize power. What is he dreaming about?

Moreover, Lin Cunde may not directly stand up to compete with Jiang Yuan when the time comes. Just pick someone at random and Lin Cunde will support him!

So, your worries are unnecessary, just do what you are doing now and you will be fine! "Yu Qian said to Wang Wen with a smile.

After hearing this, Wang Wen laughed bitterly, and then said to Yu Qian: "You are right, I am worrying too much. Having the Marquis of Luling in the Ming Dynasty is a blessing to the Ming Dynasty, and it is also a blessing to the people of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Yes, so I don't want to ask around. Anyone who wants to ask can ask around. Lin Cunde will definitely not deceive the people of Ming Dynasty! I, Yu Qian, have only pursued in my life to let the people live and work in peace and contentment, but I didn't do it, but Lin Cunde did it. , why don’t you let me admire you?

The people have not rebelled, and our Ming Dynasty is now starting to build river embankments, roads, bridges, and water conservancy facilities. These are all beneficial to the people of our Ming Dynasty. What does it matter if I am tired?

Since I can’t do it, I can still help! "Yu Qian said with a smile, he felt much more relaxed, much more relaxed than before!

"Yes, we can't do it, but we can help! I'm right to come to you today, otherwise, I would still be confused and not as thorough as you think!" Wang Wen also said with a wry smile.

"Drinking tea, why are you thinking about those things? Only those who think about their own interests will think about what His Majesty and Lin Cunde talked about? We don't need to think about it, just do things well!" Yu Qian said, holding the tea cup , said to Wang Wen, Wang Wen also smiled, holding the teacup, and gestured to Yu Qian.

However, Chen Xun was also uneasy in Chen Xun's mansion, and so far, no ministers have come to visit him. Except for a few cabinet ministers, ministers from the six ministries have not come yet!

At this moment, Chen Xun could completely feel what Wang Zhi felt back then. This feeling was very helpless!

"Dad, I just received the news that His Majesty has returned to the palace!" Chen Xun's son Chen Qin'an said to Chen Xun!

"Well, you're back? Okay, okay!" Chen Xun nodded, but he still didn't know in his heart whether Lin Cunde had told His Majesty, and how His Majesty would deal with him when the time comes?

This is what worries me the most. I don’t want to take my whole family outside the Meridian Gate or go into exile!

But now, he can only wait for news from Lin Cunde. Once there is no news from Lin Cunde in the past few days, Chen Xun knows what he will face next!

At that time, those ministers will all add insult to injury, and their disciples will be no exception. They will do the same and quickly cut ties with themselves!

This is what Chen Xun is most worried about!

But there is no use worrying. If he goes to see His Majesty now, His Majesty will probably not see him either. Not only will he not see him, but he might not be able to come back after he goes to the palace!

"Dad, you should rest early. You haven't had a good rest these days!" Chen Qin'an saw that Chen Xun was so haggard and immediately advised Chen Xun.

Chen Xun nodded, but had no intention of leaving the study yet.
