Ming politicians

() Su Tiancheng also pays attention to major matters involving the imperial court. Some opinions can be said, but some opinions cannot. For the people, even if you want to do things, there is no chance. I don’t care about those false names. I need to do things in real terms, and I need to reverse the course of history.

"My lord Huang, I don't mean to belittle Yuan Chonghuan. On the contrary, Yuan Chonghuan is a man of noble character, selflessness and fearlessness, but his tragedy also lies in his noble character, clear conscience, and his belief that the country is the public. No scruples, even when you do something wrong, you are so righteous, so frank and free, this kind of behavior, the damage caused to our Ming Dynasty, is far from being eliminated in a short time."

"The most frightening thing about this kind of awareness is its influence on later generations. I don't know how many civil and military officials are proud of court debates. , in anticipation of obtaining the title of the so-called Qingliu, and gaining the respect of the world. Is this kind of atmosphere normal? Any major matter in the court will be debated for a long time, completely ignoring the suffering of the people, showing off the courage of the moment, what is delayed and lost? The suffering of the common people is the cornerstone of the country, and this abnormal situation is not worth pondering."

"Buddha once said, I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell, as a court official, if he doesn't have the idea of ​​sacrificing himself for others, what is the country for the people, the so-called one leaf can't see Mount Tai, civil and military officials should think of something. Should do something, a lot Officials don't understand. Very sad."

Huang Daozhou's complexion became more and more ugly. Su Tiancheng's evil words seemed to be aimed at him, but he didn't name him.

At this point, if Su Tiancheng cannot give a clear reason, Huang Daozhou will not give up.

"No matter how good the reasons are for Yuan Chonghuan beheading Mao Wenlong, there are four evil consequences."

"First. It is the first time for officials to act on their own and undermine the country's legal system. Whether Mao Wenlong is guilty or not, whether he should be killed or not, should be decided by the court, not Yuan Chonghuan. It is fundamental to maintain the authority of the court. Doesn't Yuan Chonghuan understand the truth of this?"

"Mao Wenlong is the commander-in-chief of Pingliao, the governor of the left. A military officer of the first rank in the Ming Dynasty, Yuan Chonghuan was the minister of the Ministry of war and the censor of the right deputy capital, and the supervisor of Ji Liao was just a civil servant of the second rank. What kind of behavior is it to kill Mao Wenlong, who is also holding Shangfang's sword, without going through a report?"

"The function of the Shangfang sword is to deal with major incidents when the military situation is urgent. It must be dealt with immediately, before it is time to report to the court. Otherwise, the military aircraft will be delayed and a catastrophe will be caused. Besides, holding the Shangfang sword can only kill officials below the fourth rank. Let me ask." Under what circumstances did Yuan Chonghuan kill Mao Wenlong?"

"If the governors and generals in various places deal with problems in this way, arbitrarily advocating and beheading civil and military officials on important matters, what will happen? I think that it will form a situation of separation and separation, and the consequences will be Unbelievable."

"Second, it created distrust between officials and officials, generals and generals, and between sergeants and generals."

"Yuan Chonghuan beheaded Mao Wenlong, there will be two views, one is that he is for the country, and the other is that he is killing dissidents. Not to mention this kind of understanding, if I am a civil and military official, or even a sergeant, When we get along, we must be on guard against each other at all times, be on guard against being killed by our superiors or colleagues at any time, how can we resist foreign enemies, and how can we work together. Especially on the battlefield, there is no basic trust between soldiers Now, such an army needs to be defeated by the enemy, it will be defeated by itself."

"Third, it seriously hit the enthusiasm of civil and military officials."

"No one is perfect, and everyone has shortcomings. The best way is to give everyone a chance, don't waste a useful talent, and don't let an incompetent mediocre person go, and give everyone the opportunity to express and display their talents to the maximum extent. Opportunity, mobilize everyone's greatest enthusiasm, so that talents will not be wasted. If there is a culture of killing officials indiscriminately, the result will be that everyone is insecure and dare not take responsibility. What do you guys think?"

"Fourth, make the emperor at a loss."

"This is the saddest and most serious consequence. Thinking about how much the emperor trusted Yuan Chonghuan at the beginning, he asked for silver for silver, and food for food, but what did Yuan Chonghuan do? Did he trust the emperor? Kill Mao Wenlong , He doesn’t report such a big matter, as long as the emperor trusts him, as for whether he trusts the emperor, he doesn’t care, he can just rely on his own knowledge, how chilling it is.”

"Even between ordinary friends, trust is mutual. No one absolutely trusts the other party, and trust is never unilateral. This kind of trust relationship cannot be established."

"Master Huang, you can put yourself in your shoes and think about it. When your most trusted friend betrays you, or even uses your trust to do whatever you want, but you have no choice, what kind of mentality do you have?"

"To sum up, I believe that Yuan Chonghuan should be killed, no matter how much merit he has made, and no matter how noble his character is, what he has done has shaken the foundation of the country."

Huang Daozhou's face turned pale. He had never thought of these questions. He didn't know why the young Su Tiancheng would think of them. Moreover, these reasons are all valid. The ethos of civil and military officials may have caused more serious consequences than what Su Tiancheng said.

As a result, Huang Daozhou's defense for Qian Longxi seemed very pale.

"Let's talk about the adult's point of view, that is, filial piety is the foundation of all virtues. From the emperor to the officials, is it possible to govern the world with filial piety? In the sea, there are no obstacles."

"I admit that this point of view is correct, but any words must be placed in the actual situation, and shouted out of empty mouths, without any meaning. The only thing that can be advertised is that you are a saint."

"Look at today's Ming Dynasty, there are bandits rebelling inside, turmoil in all directions, and Houjin Sao harassing outside, eyeing tigers, and years of disasters, the people are in dire straits, and now the crisis of life and death, scholars Qingliu, what to do, is to stand At the height of a sage, pointing out the country, talking about it, being the only one to be the only one, and taking pride in gaining reputation, it is better to do things in a down-to-earth manner and consolidate the foundation of my Ming Dynasty bit by bit."

"Perhaps some people will think that it is a practical utilitarian thought not to be able to speak out, always care about gains and losses, and civil and military officials or scholars should be concerned about the survival of the world, so that Haoran is full of righteousness. Fill between heaven and earth, don't care about small things, and do big things." <Qiu Dameng, completely disregarding the reality, blindly pursuing the so-called lofty, so-called integrity, this kind of people, just ignore it. "

"The evaluation I give to this kind of people is that they keep the integrity but cannot make changes, dare to make mistakes and speak out, but go beyond the truth, and although they are strict in self-discipline, they are useless. They are by no means a pillar of talent."

"Civil and military officials always have their own specialties. There are loyal ministers, cunning villains, and even fools. They imagine that everyone is a modest gentleman, which is no different from a castle in the air. The historical development of thousands of years has been demonstrated. With such a point of view, even under the rule of Wenjing and Zhenguan, villains and gentlemen coexist.”

"Blindly emphasizing prudence and independence and filial piety is the only way to sacrifice the basics. The most important thing is the construction of the system. With a perfect system, it is the right way for ministers of civil and military affairs to follow the system."

"Let's talk about the doctrine of the mean. Throughout the ages, quite a few ministers have committed admonitions and ended up in different places. Apart from being famous in history and what kind of contributions they have made, these people have one thing in common. That is to think that the whole court is full of cunning villains, and there are villains in power everywhere, and you are the most loyal, so that you are squeezed out by everyone, and heroes are useless."

"I think that this kind of understanding is sad, it cannot be changed, it cannot be flexible, it seems to look at the world with the eyes of a child, right and wrong, how can it be so simple as it is said, and simply and rudely treat the world according to the good. Dividing people from bad to bad, wouldn’t the world be in chaos, and it would be a big joke to get support.”

"The ancients have long said that those who understand current affairs are heroes. I would like to add that those who understand current affairs can display their ambitions under difficult conditions and do great things that are conducive to the development of the country and the prosperity of the people. With one's own behavior and power, one can change the views and understandings of others, and unite all the forces that can be united, that is the real hero."

After saying so much in one breath, Su Tiancheng stopped. He believed that Huang Daozhou had already understood.

Although speaking your own words seems very harsh, but in the face of a scholar-bureaucrat like Huang Daozhou, if you speak softly, it will not have the slightest effect. It takes a heavy hammer to beat the drum. make a real difference.

People like Huang Daozhou are available talents. They don't care about personal gains and losses, and they are dedicated to the country. No matter whether the means are correct or not, this kind of people are precious, and it is a pity to waste them.

Of course, Huang Daozhou heard his evil, if he is still stubborn, still thinking about chasing Qingliu's reputation, or taking it as his duty to remonstrate directly, no matter how the situation develops, then he will reject him mercilessly. Once you enter the court and become an official, the harm will be even greater.

Yuan Chonghuan's beheading of Mao Wenlong triggered a series of events, which is a good example.

After a while, Huang Daozhou didn't speak.

His face was ashen, and it was obviously difficult for him to accept Su Tiancheng's words quickly. It's no wonder that what Su Tiancheng had accumulated was his understanding hundreds of years later, and many of his words hit the key points. Huang Daozhou is eloquent, and he is by no means Su Tiancheng's opponent.Besides, he has never heard of the many insights that Su Tiancheng introduced. The thinking in his mind is relatively fixed and has formed a system. Once an external force invades, it will be extremely painful to slowly break this system. (To be continued.
