Reincarnation Guest of All Heavens and Ten Thousand Realms

Chapter 286 Emperor Hongzhi's Thoughts

Continuing to listen to Li Huayuan's narration of the gossip, Ren Taixu also slowly began to clear the thoughts in his mind.

Just as Ren Taixu was thinking, what exactly does the party struggle in the Liang Dynasty mean?
What kind of role did the Hongzhi Emperor sitting on the throne play in it, and what purpose did he want to achieve through this party struggle?
What good is this party struggle for me?
In the palace at this time, Princess Yongle has a detailed document on Ren Taixu, which describes Ren Taixu's hometown and other information.

Seeing Ren Taixu's background, Princess Yongle also frowned slightly. After meeting Ren Taixu that day, she saw the demeanor, extraordinary aura, and extraordinary conversation.
It is definitely a family with inheritance background. Most of the temperament of a person can only be cultivated after three generations of inheritance.

I don't know which family can cultivate such a character?
When I heard Ren Taixu self-reported his origin in Yuanzhou,
For a while, she didn't think about the aristocratic family surnamed Ren in Yuanzhou.

It never occurred to him that any minister surnamed Ren was originally from Yuanzhou?

But she didn't take it seriously, she was the Princess of Liang, and she had been active in Bianliang City for a long time, so she knew very little about the world after all.

It has only been 60 years since the founding of Daliang, and at the same time, the decades of chaos in the last years of the previous dynasty, and the countless aristocratic families of the previous dynasty have not recovered.

So it is not a big deal that there are no representative figures in the official face, after all, the foundation still exists.

Originally thought that Ren Taixu might be from a rich family in the former dynasty, and that family has not been relieved yet, so it should not be famous.

Unexpectedly, after reading Ren Taixu's information, she was shocked, Ren Taixu was born in a poor family!

That's right!

Even though the previous two generations of Ren Taixu had some achievements, but in this era, the family conditions that can afford to read are not bad, but the accumulation of the previous two generations of Ren Taixu and his family is too shallow.

It can't even be called a wealthy family in the local area, let alone a wealthy family!

In the eyes of the people in the world, this is a poor family, without historical inheritance, those whose ancestors have not produced great people are called poor families, and Ren Taixu is a scholar of the poor family.

After seeing Ren Taixu's introduction, Princess Yongle also had some doubts. How could such a person with outstanding demeanor come from a poor family?

This is not in line with the norm. After all, the temperament needs to be cultivated by the environment. Some people have said that three generations of wealth are the only way to become a nobleman.

Princess Yongle couldn't figure it out for a while, and it could only be attributed to Ren Taixu's extraordinary talent. After all, being able to say in his weak crown years: "To establish a heart for the world, to establish a life for the people, to serve the greatness of the past and inherit the knowledge Naturally, a man should be special, different from the rest of the world!"

Thinking about it this way, Princess Yongle appreciates Ren Taixu even more, because it's not easy to come from a poor family.

At the same time, at this time, she believes in what Ren Taixu said, she clearly sees clearly that Ren Taixu described in this record about Ren Taixu is a person who does not love fame, I have almost never participated in poetry or word competitions, and have no chance to become famous.

Although he is a high school graduate at a young age, his reputation is not obvious in his own countryside.

This actually satisfies the kind of poor family scholar's character that no one asks for ten years, and becomes famous all over the world!
Towards this point, Princess Yongle is more willing to believe that Ren Taixu is not the kind of person who only talks nonsense.

At the same time, a document with Ren Taixu's name appeared on Emperor Hongzhi's desk not far away from the palace!
"Each person is the teacher of a hundred generations, and one word is the law of the world!"

"Set up a heart for the world, establish a life for the people, and continue to learn for the past! What a bold tone! What a scholarly spirit!"

Not long after, after reading the records of Ren Taixu's identity information, Emperor Hongzhi was also a little impressed, and said, "It's my wish that the humble family rise from three generations!"

Just after Ren Taixu contacted Princess Yongle in the evening, Ren Taixu was recorded by the secret guards protecting Princess Yongle, and his information was sent to Hongzhi immediately after.

Emperor Hongzhi always paid attention to the men around his eldest princess, not only to guard against those who had evil intentions, but also to recruit a son-in-law for his eldest princess.

Naturally, Ren Taixu got into his eyes by accident, with Ren Taixu's background, it is impossible for him to have evil intentions, except for accidents, it is impossible for Ren Taixu to have the chance to contact Princess Yongle.

The poor family has no roots, no source of news, and even Princess Yongle's whereabouts are unclear, how to contact?

So this was a misunderstanding, and Emperor Hongzhi obviously knew that it was his own initiative to strike up a conversation.

Since it was Wuyou who had evil intentions, Emperor Hongzhi felt relieved.

As for the son-in-law, Emperor Hongzhi still had to consider what his own daughter wanted, so let's not mention it for now.

It just has to be said that Emperor Hongzhi at this time has a lot of affection for Ren Taixu, not only because of Ren Taixu's two words, but also because of Ren Taixu's background - poor family!
He has always wanted to expand the influence of the poor family in the court to balance the rest of the forces.

It's just that he gave a chance, those poor scholars are useless!
Therefore, the current ministers from the poor family in the court are still just a force attached to the aristocratic family.

During this period, Emperor Hongzhi was a little troubled, precisely because of the lively party disputes!
Daliang has only been established for 60 years, but there is also a problem that has existed since the founding of the country-the noble power is too big to lose!
Back then, Taizu of Liang Liang was the most inconspicuous person among the many heroes. He had made great achievements in the first half of his life, and he could even be said to have been displaced. It was not until middle age that he established his own foundation. It is the achievement of the emperor.

Less than a few years after ascending the throne, Liang Taizu passed away.

Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible for the Great Liang Taizu to learn from Zhu Yuanzhang and directly kill a group of founding heroes to clear all obstacles for his descendants.

At the same time, he is not as aggressive as Zhu Yuanzhang, with iron and blood methods, he can kill a blood flow!
It can be said that this Great Liang Taizu has a strong personality, and at the same time, his methods are not harsh, but he is somewhat like Liu Bei!

For the first half of his life, he was wandering and upside down, and the ministers of civil and military affairs around Meng never gave up. They followed him for most of his life, and finally enjoyed wealth and honor in peace, so he naturally couldn't bear it.

The problem that Liang Taizu couldn't solve, the next two generations of emperors naturally couldn't solve it either. They didn't have the same prestige as Taizu, so the problem has been dragged down until Emperor Hongzhi.

Under such circumstances, it is natural that a large number of founding fathers have accumulated. These fathers are passed on from generation to generation, and there have been noble families who control more than half of the military power in Daliang. Emperor Hongzhi cannot help being afraid.

Of course, these nobles are also sensible. Although they are in charge of military power, there are still many internal contradictions. This is to imply that the entire group of nobles is not monolithic and wants to reassure the emperor.

But obviously, the emperor couldn't let go!

Although he knew that Xungui could not be an iron plate, Emperor Hongzhi was even more worried that if all this was done to deceive himself?

This is a big problem!
And even if they are not monolithic, they are all noble, with the same foundation, the same position of the buttocks, and the same direction of the head!

The military power is too strong!

It is definitely not allowed by the emperor!
Compared with nobles, Emperor Hongzhi liked those civil servants more, not because the civil servants were clean, but because the civil servants were the easiest to control, they had no power in their hands, and at the same time, they did not pose a threat to the position under him!

As for the aristocratic families and powerful gentry behind the civil servants, this is unavoidable.

No matter who it is, even poor scholars or ordinary people, as long as they hold the full strength in their hands, they will become a family after a few generations.

Emperor Hongzhi could see clearly that the problem could never be solved, it could only be postponed continuously.

The object of this postponement is also particular, poor family is the best, has no foundation, and is the latest to become powerful, and it can be postponed longer. Those descended from the previous dynasty's aristocratic families are slightly less well-born, and then the aristocratic families.

And Xungui is already too big to lose, and cannot be postponed.

Under such circumstances, Emperor Hongzhi also launched his courtiers to fight against these nobles.

And Prime Minister Li Jishi is this person!
Li Jishi is a veteran of the three dynasties, and his disciples are all over the world. He can be said to be one of the leaders of the literati. Only such a person can become a qualified target and can withstand the backlash of the noble group.

Li Jishi also realized the reality that Xungui had too much power early on.

In his eyes, this is not only detrimental to the stability of the imperial power, but also detrimental to the entire court system. The military is strong and the culture is weak, which cannot be balanced!
This is an encroachment on the collective interests of civil servants!

So during the previous two generations of emperors, he had written about this problem, but he didn't get the emperor's attention, or the emperor knew it in his heart, but he didn't have the courage to solve this problem.

So Li Jishi at that time not only did not get the support of the emperor, but he got the hostility of the nobles.

Of course, the civil and military systems in the court originally were two systems, opposed to each other, whether it was the needs of interests or catering to the emperor, this effect was needed.

Emperor Hongzhi didn't need to do much, as long as Li Jishi was pushed out, Li Jishi would naturally be willing to fight with the nobles, and even think of ways to win a certain amount of military power from those nobles.

Li Jishi is a smart man. Although he knew the emperor's mind, he was willing to be the sword because it was in the interests of the entire civil servants.

Using a knife against the Xungui Group is completely in line with the needs of one's own political interests!
And in this process, Emperor Hongzhi didn't need to do too much, he just needed to show a dilemma and look like he didn't help each other, and he could sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

Of course, he just needs to have a slight bias in the key places to be able to achieve his goal.

Therefore, Emperor Hongzhi had a good imperial mind and was proficient in the use of political means.

Provoking conflicts among subordinates is also controlling the scope of conflicts and preventing them from expanding.

Can solve their own problems within a suitable range, so as to achieve their own goals.

Set up Li Jishi as a target, let all the attacks hit the target, and get out of the way.

In the end, he achieved his goal through the establishment of a target, and picked himself out perfectly!
As for, although the estrangement between civil servants and military generals will be deeper later, this is not within the scope of Hongzhi's consideration, or he is happy to see it happen.

Most emperors like to fight, fighting with the sky, the earth, and the people, it's a lot of fun!
Ren Taixu had been an emperor before, and he knew the psychology of an emperor. To be precise, it was because of a psychological problem.

The Emperor means the Ninth Five-Year Lord, he may be lonely, he feels that everything in the world is at his fingertips, it is a bit challenging to fight with others, and it is also fun to watch others fight!
When his subordinates fight, as long as they can not lose control, he is also happy, after all, this is a way of balance that is beneficial to the emperor

Obviously, a few years ago, as the son-in-law of Li Jishi, who was born as a civil servant, became the governor of northern Xinjiang, the military power in the hands of the nobles was reduced, which was a manifestation of Emperor Hongzhi's achievement of his goal.

It's a pity that in Emperor Hongzhi's opinion, this should be just the beginning, and the next step is to slowly disintegrate the power and military power in the hands of these nobles!
But I didn't expect that Li Jishi's virtuous son-in-law was actually a good-for-nothing. He actually defeated Timur and lost Jiayuguan, giving you an excuse for the Xungui Group to fight back.

In addition, there was also chaos in the south at that time. In order to continue to control the situation, Emperor Hongzhi decisively gave the Xungui Group a date.

The veteran who went to suppress the South is currently a veteran of the Xungui Group. Emperor Hongzhi tried his best to win him over, not only to stabilize the situation in the South.

It is also to show an attitude, an attitude to Xungui.

Let the nobles know that he still uses the nobles, and he still needs the support of the nobles!

This time the party struggle is the nobles who coerced the minister of the Ministry of War and then took the initiative to attack the prime minister Li Jishi!

Before Emperor Hongzhi was willing to watch them fight, the premise was that he could achieve his goal, but this party struggle obviously failed to achieve this goal.

So at this time, Emperor Hongzhi was also a little troubled!
At this moment, seeing Ren Taixu's poor family status, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help being a little happy, thinking that if it was true that all the ministers in the court were from poor families.

Now there is not so much trouble, or this big deal can be delayed for another hundred years!
After thinking about it, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help muttering: "Perhaps we really should place more bets on the poor family. If we can support the poor family, the current situation will be much better. The three-legged confrontation is always better than the confrontation between the two countries." It is also more stable and less likely to lose control!"

At this time, Ren Taixu naturally didn't know that thanks to Princess Yongle, he had already entered the eyes of Emperor Hongzhi, and even indirectly made Emperor Hongzhi make up his mind to bet on the poor family.

Perhaps Ren Taixu will be one of the beneficiaries, after all, he is a thoroughly poor family!

And it's the root of Zheng Miaohong, with the establishment of Daliang, it is the poor family that is slowly rising!
