Baidu otaku as Chongzhen

Chapter 665
The war has already started, but Yang Reform is a little calmer than before. Those thoughts of worrying about gains and losses are gone, and people are more relaxed. Some boring thoughts are abandoned, and people are happier.

However, this day is still boring. The appointments of Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng passed without any obstacles. Without the days of fighting, Yang Reform feels that life is really meaningless, but he is eager to have a few things that will make him happy. Something worth fighting for yourself.

Hong Chengchou was appointed governor of Liaodong, and Lu Xiang was promoted to governor of Datong.Yuan Chonghuan's promotion from the governor of Liaodong to the Minister of the Ministry of War was regarded as a reward for his great victory. This thing that had been scheduled long ago was finally fulfilled until now.This is also one of the reasons why Hong and Lu have no objection to their appointment.

Sun Chengzong resigned from the job of the Minister of the Ministry of War, and he is still a bachelor. In fact, it is the same whether Sun Chengzong is the Minister of the Ministry of War. In terms of military affairs, everyone knows that this is No. 1 in military affairs.

Sun Chengzong resigned from the position of minister of the Ministry of War, and Yang Reform has also relaxed a lot. Yang Reform has always been afraid that Sun Chengzong will be squeezed out again. In many cases, he does not want Sun Chengzong to intervene in matters other than military affairs. Protect.In history, Sun Chengzong was run down several times.

Yang Reform's life was somewhat ordinary and boring, but one person's life, so to speak, was "dark and dark".This person is Yan Sheng Gong Kong Yinzhi, who is now "practicing" the emperor's words and practicing the "human needs" of Confucianism.

Kong Yinzhi likes to lock himself in the study these days when he has nothing to do, not knowing what he is messing with.

On this day, Kong Yinzhi still locked himself in his study, trying to practice what people need.People definitely need a lot of things to live. If you don’t eat, you can persist for several days. If you want to starve to death, it may take longer. Kong Yinzhi also starved himself for several meals, and he was so hungry that he couldn’t persist .He insisted on not drinking water, which was more difficult than not eating. Kong Yinzhi felt that his throat was about to catch fire if he didn't drink water for a day.

But today, what Kong Yinzhi practiced was that human needs come first, breathing, Kong Yinzhi kept holding his breath again and again, trying not to breathe, but obviously, he couldn't do it, Kong Yinzhi was already blushing Yes, after countless experiments, Kong Yinzhi came to the conclusion that breathing is indeed the first need of human beings. Without breathing, people will die in a moment, faster than drinking poison.Although this reason is superficial, it actually exists.

Kong Yinzhi, who had held his breath for countless times, flushed and even turned purple, was in a daze. He already had a deep understanding of the experience of human needs, but he was even more confused. What should he do next?Kong Yinzhi felt that it was time for him to go to the emperor.

……

On this day, Yang Reform still got up as before, and still dressed as before, and his life was really going day after day, with nothing new.

The weather turned cold again, and Yang Reform remembered that the clothes on his body seemed to be thicker today.

"It's a bit colder today!" Yang Reform said with emotion after getting dressed.The weather is getting colder, and the war is getting closer and closer. When the spring begins next year, it will be a decisive battle for thousands of miles.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, yes, the past few days have been colder than the previous few days. I'm afraid it will snow soon." Wang Chengen quickly replied.

"Yes! It's going to snow soon." Yang Reform sighed.

"...Is there anything important today?" Yang Reform still asked.

"Report to Your Majesty, Lord Yansheng is asking to see you." Wang Chengen hurriedly reported.

"Kong Yinzhi? See you." Yang Reform said.

"The servant obeys the order..." Wang Chengen agreed.

……

It was still in the Nuan Pavilion, but up to now, the Nuan Pavilion can really be called the Nuan Pavilion. Yang Reform took a breath after going out, feeling a bit cold, and returning to the Nuan Pavilion, it was indeed much warmer.

"My minister, Kong Yinzhi, sees Your Majesty." Kong Yinzhi still saluted neatly.

"Excuse me,...the Qing family came to see me, but something happened?" Yang Reform asked briefly.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the minister is here to listen to His Majesty's instruction." Yan Sheng Gong Kong Yinzhi said hastily.

"Oh, hehehe, what do the Qing family want to hear from me?" Yang Reform said with a smile, he knew it without thinking, probably Kong Yinzhi's head was short-circuited again, the last time he was wound up, probably It was empty too, and it was time to wind him up again.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I listened to His Majesty's teachings last time, and felt enlightened. I felt that human needs are indeed the essence of Confucianism. Human needs are Confucianism. Confucianism should take solving human needs as its own responsibility, just like, The first need of a person is to breathe. It is impossible for a person not to breathe, just like the Confucianism talks about loyalty, filial piety, etiquette, loyalty, forgiveness and benevolence. It is for the stability of the world, for the peace of the people in the world, for survival, survival, survival, I feel that this is very in line with the essence of Confucianism..." Kong Yinzhi immediately said a lot, how to combine human needs with Confucianism, Kong Yinzhi also put a lot of effort into it.

"Hehehe, the Qing family is very savvy. It's really good. I really appreciate the four sentences of 'establish a heart for the world, establish a life for the people, inherit the sage's knowledge for the past, and create peace for all generations...' These four sentences Words can best express the mind of Confucianists, and can also best reveal the knowledge and ambition of Confucianists. Confucianism should have this spirit. With this spirit, it is not in vain to be called Confucian characters, and it is not in vain to write Confucian characters based on human needs. "Yang Reform said with a smile, it seems that the effect of winding up last time was pretty good, and Kong Yinzhi is very good at following the way.

"Your Majesty is wise, please teach me." Kong Yinzhi still asked for advice seriously, just like a student asking for advice from a gentleman.

"... I have said that if the Qing family wants to make a difference, they must innovate on the basis of their predecessors. Their thoughts and words must surpass those of their predecessors. In addition to surpassing their predecessors, they should also benefit future generations. Hundreds of years, or even thousands of years, otherwise, how can you become a saint? The reason why a saint is a saint and not others is the difference..." Yang Reform began to wind up Kong Yinzhi again.

"Your Majesty is stupid, please show me clearly." Yan Sheng Gong Kong Yinzhi continued to ask for advice seriously.

"...The Qing family might as well understand these four sentences carefully, and they will definitely gain something..." Yang Reform said.

"...Your Majesty, I'm stupid, please forgive me..." Kong Yinzhi said again.It's not that he hasn't thought about these few words, his feelings are really limited, although he shouted these words loudly, he really can't explain why.He also knew that the emperor did not lie to him, and the emperor took him seriously. In addition to admonishing him not to abandon the traditional project of education, if he wants to become a saint, he must make innovations, and he must learn from his predecessors. There is a difference, there is a difference, you must surpass the achievements of the predecessors, otherwise, as the emperor said, how can you become a saint?And to do this, it is absolutely impossible to rely on him alone as Yan Shenggong. His only chance is to rely on the emperor, and Kong Yinzhi can also see that the emperor now has a strong ability to change the society. To put it more bluntly, the emperor wants to "reform". Since the emperor wants to change, he must have a set of plausible theories to support his words and deeds. If the emperor wants to have a set of theories in this regard, he must have corresponding Some people came out to advocate for the emperor and acted as the emperor's "tongue". Originally, he, Kong Yinzhi, stood in the perspective of Confucianism and Confucianism, and should not support the emperor's doing this. However, Kong Yinzhi carefully understood the emperor. He found that he seemed to have no ability to influence the emperor, and he seemed unable to stop the emperor. Up to now, the emperor had almost done everything he wanted to do. Kong Yinzhi didn't believe how important Yan Shenggong was in the eyes of the emperor, so he didn't show up. There will be other people who will come out to do this. For example, Liu Zongzhou, a great Confucian in the world, is also under the imperial party. The old one is Liu Zongzhou, and the young one is Huang Zongxi. The emperor is not unprepared. Instead of using other people to do this, Kong Yinzhi felt that he might as well come out to play this role and participate in it himself. At least he would know the ins and outs of the whole incident. If it is done, it can continue the glory of the Kong family. Maybe it is true As the emperor said, it is impossible to recreate a saint. Because of the emperor's reputation, Kong Yinzhi is more willing to trust the emperor.Kong Yinzhi knew that his own thoughts were not important, what was important was to understand what the emperor said and what the emperor wanted to achieve. This was his value. Without this, his value to the emperor would be almost zero.Therefore, Kong Yinzhi took this matter extremely seriously.

"Well... let's put it this way, these four sentences are indeed good, and they are in line with the essence of Confucianism and the understanding of human needs. However, I would like to express human needs and Confucianism in a few simpler words. The essence of it..." Yang Reform thought for a while, and decided to wind Kong Yinzhi's clockwork a little more and tighten it this time, otherwise, Yang Reform would be exhausted when he had to wind up again in a few days. what!
"Please enlighten me, Your Majesty." Kong Yinzhi said very seriously.

"As the Qing family said just now, the first need of a person is breathing, and by extension, it is life, and by extension, it can be combined with benevolence, justice, loyalty, and forgiveness... But in summary, it can be summed up in two words, people's livelihood. The people, the people of the people; life, the life of life, the life of production, the life of life..., the Qing family may wish to take this as the title, read more, and you will surely understand..." Yang Reform said, still taking this important The key words were thrown out, I hope this time the clockwork can make Kong Yinzhi think about it for a longer time, I hope this time the brainstorming can be more powerful.

"Minsheng?..." Kong Yinzhi was stunned for a while, this word?

"That's right, it's people's livelihood. This word is a high-level summary of many things. The Qing family may wish to think about it carefully. Since this word is people's livelihood, it is best for the Qing family to observe and understand what people's livelihood is. I think you will definitely gain something. ..." Yang Reform said, at this time, Yang Reform has taken a small step forward in the field of thought, perhaps this step is a bit big, and there may be many unknown dangers, but since Yang Reform has decided to change In this world, we must take this step. We only want to be safe and get by. It is impossible to follow the rules. If you want to rely on your own strength to "defy the sky", you will eventually exhaust your strength. To completely change this society, some Things must be born, and some roads must be passed through.

"I obey the order! Thank you, Your Majesty, for teaching..." Although Kong Yinzhi seemed to have some insights, he couldn't tell why for a while. He only felt that the emperor had indeed said something important. This might be his next step. There are things to do at the stage, after thinking about it, saluting earnestly, preparing to carry out the emperor's instructions carefully.

After chatting with Yan Sheng Gong Kong Yinzhi for a while, Yang Reform let Kong Yinzhi go back.

After Kong Yinzhi left, Yang Reform became melancholy again, or in other words, became more passionate.The word after the people's livelihood means civil rights, and after that, it means democracy. These words are undoubtedly something that kills some people, such as myself, the emperor's old man.Yang Reform could only smile wryly when he thought that the few words he directed might kill him in the future.Sincere wry smile.

The emperor didn't do anything like himself. He dug his own grave. This is the feudal imperial system that will be buried for thousands of years!However, since we talked about changing society and wanting to promote social change, these words must pop up, otherwise, society will never be able to change, and there is no need to talk about progress.Certain things are destined to be contradictory.

Of course, Yang Reform was even more passionate. He buried the emperor's rights and system with his own hands, and ended the emperor's career with his own hands. Who would dare to say that he didn't have any passion?Ordinary people really can't do it.

This incident can be regarded as one of the few things that Yang Reform can fight for. It has been a long time since Yang Reform's thinking has been running at such a high speed as it is today. The passion for fighting came to Yang Reform again. Reform body.

Blood was pouring upwards. Although Kong Yinzhi had been gone for a long time, Yang Reform's face was still red.

It took a long time for Yang Reform to retreat from this endless thinking.

"Your Majesty..." Wang Chengen has been waiting on him. Seeing that the emperor blushed so much, he was a little scared. He wanted to remind the emperor, but he saw that the emperor was deep in thought and didn't dare to disturb him. He could only wait anxiously. Seeing that the emperor finally woke up , My heart finally relaxed, and I quickly handed over the tea.

"Hmm..." Yang Reformed drank a full cup of tea. Although the tea was a bit bitter, after a little bit of bitterness, it was fragrant and sweet. Yang Reformed felt that what he did would definitely be like tea. Suffering, but after suffering, it must be the end of suffering.

Seeing the emperor down a cup of tea in one go, Wang Chengen quickly added water.

"Big Companion, please invite Master Sun." Yang Reform said, after being busy with ideological matters, Yang Reform still had to turn his mind back to practical matters.

"Your servant obeys the order!" Wang Chengen agreed, and hurriedly delivered the order.

……

"I see Your Majesty!" Sun Chengzong arrived soon, and the platform was very close to Qianqing Palace.

"Master Sun, sit down..." Yang Reform said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Sun Chengzong thanked him.

"...Master Sun, I'm afraid that the Ryukyu matter will come to fruition soon..." Yang Reform said.

"Returning to Your Majesty, yes, His Majesty crushed the matter of Ryukyu with great force, how could the Japanese country survive, and there will be results sooner or later." Sun Chengzong said.

"Well, this is also a fact. The Ryukyu matter is over, and we have to beware of the courtiers making irresponsible remarks..." Yang Reform said again, the news from the south, the facts of the Ryukyu country are not difficult, and it is not difficult to clean up the situation of the Japanese country. It is really not difficult to save the Ryukyu country's lord in the occupied Ryukyu country. Yang Reform is a little worried that the courtiers will take the opportunity to make trouble. In fact, he is not afraid of them, but he must take precautions beforehand.Now Yang Reform doesn't have the energy and mood to fight those courtiers, but fortunately, those courtiers seem to be scared by him, and they don't dare to cause trouble easily.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it's okay. This matter is simple. You only need to continue to block the sea on the grounds that the Japanese may harass and repeat it. You only need to explain to the navy. It is not difficult to think about it..." Sun Chengzong said.

"Yes! It's really not difficult, but Yuan Chonghuan is going to Beijing for a long time! Master Sun thinks, is this Yuan Chonghuan really qualified for the position of Minister of the Ministry of War?" Yang Reform asked. Yuan Chonghuan is about to enter Beijing to serve as Minister of the Ministry of War. This idea was conceived by Yang Reform, and now, Yang Reform asked Sun Chengzong again.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Yuan Ziru has experienced this year's war, has experience in actual combat, and also has experience in leading troops. He is much better than ordinary people in military matters. He has his own set of methods in war. As Minister of the Ministry of War, he may not disappoint His Majesty. Yes." Sun Chengzong thought for a while and said, Sun Chengzong also found it strange that Yuan Ziru's appointment as Minister of the Ministry of War was not decided by the emperor himself?Why did the emperor come to ask him?

"Oh..., hehehe, it is true that Yuan Chonghuan has actual combat experience, which is what I value, but, as Master Sun said, he has his own system of fighting, and his method of fighting is what I value him The main reason, otherwise, I would not have let him be Minister of the Ministry of War..." Yang Reform said with a smile.

"This..., Your Majesty..." Sun Chengzong was confused, what did the emperor want to say?What is Yuan Ziru's self-contained fighting method?Could it be the "scout war" mentioned?Thousands of dead, tens of thousands are still called "scout warfare" by scouts?The emperor valued this very much?
Although Sun Chengzong was a little contemptuous of this method of deceiving people and even deceiving others, he had to admit that this method was indeed very effective. Driven by not counting casualties, but only counting results, everyone in Liaodong worked hard. Achievements, now, relying on this method to suppress the Donglu to death, the blockade is very tight, the so-called battlefield cover can be regarded as the best, the Donglu has few people, and even fewer elites, how can they fight against Da Ming? consumption?In the face of the style of play called "Scout" who has killed thousands of elites, there is no way to hurt them!

"...How should I put it, I actually think that Yuan Chonghuan may be more successful in commanding the navy than commanding the army in naval battles..." Yang Reform said with a smile.

"Ah! Your Majesty means that the purpose of appointing Yuan Ziru as Secretary of the Ministry of War is to fight naval warfare..." Sun Chengzong's words to the emperor were very serious.
