"——The imperial court cannot live without Dongnan for a day, and Dongnan cannot live without Hu Zongxian for a day." Jiajing also nodded and said lightly: "We have to rely on him to suppress Hai Si, and we also have to rely on him to comfort the victims and prevent them from rebelling."
"We can't let him worry to death, and we can't let him die of exhaustion!"
The next moment, Jiajing slowly leaned back and leaned on the cushion in the temple. The next moment, he said something surprising for a king:
"There is no silver in the treasury...let Yan Shifan and his men get it."
"One ounce of silver, twelve cents goes to the state treasury, and four cents goes to them. I accept it."
"Ten cents go to the national treasury, and six cents go to them... I accept it."
Jiajing's somewhat unwilling words really surprised everyone present, not to mention the Emperor of Dayan and Wei Yanwu, even Tracys, who was in power without a formal national government, was surprised that the king actually wanted to bargain with his subjects.
What is even more surprising is that the king clearly knows that his ministers are corrupt, but he still condones them to do so. There is nothing he can do about it, and they can actually understand it.
After all, it now seems that only the Yan Party can bring benefits and money to Jiajing to enrich the national treasury. Jiajing knows that they are greedy, but without the Yan Party, it would be extremely difficult for Jiajing to send people to find ways to enrich the national treasury.
Only the Yan Party is like a high-profit financial product that can allow Jiajing to bring relatively large profits to his national treasury after investing a part of the money. Therefore, if he wants to enrich the national treasury, only the Yan Party can be used.
But even so, Jiajing had his own bottom line, and he had wanted to overthrow Yan for a long time. Ever since he knew that Yan Song could no longer control the Yan Party, and Yan Shifan could no longer control his subordinates, he had the idea of overthrowing Yan.
"If they still want to make more money, and cannot even tolerate Hu Zongxian, and force the southeast to revolt... I can no longer tolerate them!"
Jiajing himself was also feeling aggrieved, but the time had not yet come. Yan Shifan had not yet reached the point where he could no longer tolerate him. He wanted to wait and see if Yan Song could still revive the situation. If Yan Song could do it, then the Yan Party would still have a reason to exist.
"It's a pity that there are too few people." Jiajing couldn't help but sigh. There were too few capable people available in Dayan nowadays, so people like Yan Shifan had to be used.
"The one that Prince Yu sent to Hu Zongxian, Tan Lun, must be protected. Secretly tell Prince Yu that if Xu Jie, Gao Gong, and Zhang Juzheng petition for anyone else to go to Zhejiang City, they must all be approved with red ink."
"Also, tell Yang Jinshui not to embarrass Hu Zongxian in the palace anymore."
"What a balancing act." And Tracy immediately saw the standard of Emperor Jiajing in controlling people, which was that no matter where, he would not allow one family to dominate, let alone let one group of people take full responsibility.
For example, in the Zhejiang City in the play, the power of the Yan Party is now deeply rooted in Zhejiang City. If there were no Hu Zongxian, the southeast pillar who still cares about the people, the entire Zhejiang City would become a place for Yan Shifan to make a lot of money. By then, the people would be forced to rebel, and Jiajing would have a headache.
Therefore, he needed to send members of the Qingliu Party to Zhejiang City to balance the power of the Yan Party and ensure that things would not get out of control. He also needed the forces around him to take charge so that he could know everything that happened in Zhejiang City.
"Jiajing used this method to ensure that the information he received was correct and comprehensive every time... Silijian, are these officials similar to the dead soldiers? Do I also need to think about cultivating a force that is absolutely loyal to me?"
Tracy couldn't help but think so in his mind. Not only him, but the new emperor of Ursus, who was in a similar situation, found that his experience was so similar to that of Emperor Jiajing.
The old aristocracy is like the Yan Party in the play, while the new aristocracy he supported is like the Qingliu. Strictly speaking, neither of them is loyal to him, but they are working for their own interests. Instead, he almost lost control of everything, causing himself as the emperor to lose his power for a while.
He also got inspiration from Jiajing's experience and began to examine the servants and maids in his own country who had insisted on taking care of him when he was down and out... Although they were not talented people, perhaps they were capable of more than that?
In the play, Jiajing's decree was conveyed to Prince Yu, and now, several people are discussing the current situation in Zhejiang City and what they should do to maintain a balance with the Yan Party.
The first thing that the Qingliu faction thought of was to block the throat and not send relief grain to Hu Zongxian to Zhejiang City. Zhang Juzheng, played by Wen Yue, also said to Prince Yu:
"There is no need for reasoning. They just want the big silk producers in Zhejiang City to take grain locally and annex the affected grain fields. They even call it 'reform and relief to solve the dilemma.'"
However, although Zhang Juzheng said this, her tone was full of disdain for the actions of the Yan Party. But when Prince Yu asked why the Ministry of Revenue could not transfer grain to Hu Zongxian, she changed her face and said:
"Your Highness, let me tell you something that you may not like to hear. Even if we can transfer him, we will not transfer him at this time."
"…What do you mean?" Prince Yu also realized that Qingliu had made another plan behind his back. At this moment, Zhang Juzheng also told him about the Qingliu party's plan.
"Let's just let Zhejiang City fall into chaos. At this point, it's time for His Majesty to understand what we mean."
"The Yan Party has controlled the government for more than 20 years, but it has already collapsed. The reason they have been able to maintain it is entirely because they are trying to please the emperor. The palace has insatiable demands, and they are greedy at every level, so there is such a huge deficit."
"Your Highness should have known that the idea of replacing rice with mulberry trees was actually to make up for the deficit. But even Hu Zongxian knew that such a big thing could not be implemented within a year - but they couldn't wait, and their subordinates believed that this was a good opportunity to make a fortune. So they did something as heinous as destroying the dikes and flooding the fields."
"Anyway, they are cutting out the flesh of the common people, but in fact, they are also cutting out the flesh of our Great Yan Dynasty to heal their wounds! How could such an obvious thing be turned a blind eye by the court?"
"It was not easy for Hu Zongxian to stand up and speak for their own good, but they treated him as an enemy and could not even tolerate Hu Zongxian. It shows that their luck has run out."
And the next moment, Zhang Juzheng, played by Wen Yue, looked so indignant and hated the Yan Party who was sucking blood from Da Yan. But the next moment, she immediately told the Qingliu plan, and this idea that did not fit their name "Qingliu" at all.
"So we think that a short pain is worse than a long one, so let Zhejiang City be in chaos this time - just treat it as a piece of rotten meat in our Great Yan Dynasty."
"And this piece of flesh is rotten, and it's time to squeeze out this pus-filled sore of the Yan Party!"
There is no doubt that Zhang Juzheng's words, from the perspective of a country's ruler, can be called correct. However, nowadays, no one is willing to say that Zhang Juzheng's method in the play is correct. Instead, they hear the hidden disregard for the people of Zhejiang City behind the correct argument.
The Emperor of Dayan also had a look of disdain. Zhang Juzheng's words gave him a clear understanding of the Qingliu faction.
"They want to overthrow the Yan Party and replace them... Fine, fine, replace them. It's not that they are not better than the Yan Party, it's just that they don't submit to the Yan Party and hate that they are not a member of the Yan Party."
"Just think of my Great Yan Dynasty as a piece of rotten meat. Isn't this piece of meat also the life of millions of people? The so-called clean stream is just more sanctimonious than the Yan Party. They are still just a group of beasts in human clothing!"
PS: Today is the second chapter! There will be another chapter in the evening! (Hurry up and code it, the bounty is almost paid off, this is my last struggle to survive! Paralyzed...)
Volume 299: Chapter : Based on Terra's overall quality, most of them are not as good as Jiajing (laughs)
It has to be said that although some of the lines in "The Great Yan Dynasty 1566" are sharp, it would be complete nonsense to say that similar things have never happened in other countries and are unique to Great Yan.
Many ideas and suggestions for governing a country are interoperable. As for the matter of "giving up the small for the big", as long as there is a human society, the ruling class must have put forward many similar suggestions, and even after adopting them, many similar things have been done.
However, as the Emperor of Great Yan said, "Great Yan Dynasty" is different from "Yes, Prime Minister". Although the latter also has similar plots, it has greatly enhanced the public's acceptance of politics under the blessing of humor, and many of the sharp issues reflected in it have been shallow.
But this drama has no laughter, no empty words, and the story background does not even have a strong national background. Even the emperor does not care about your forming cliques for personal gain... With so many problems, everyone is afraid of the emperor except when he is in front of them. The ugly side of all beings is revealed at all other times.
For example, Zhang Juzheng, played by Wen Yue, said this metaphor, which makes it easy for people to overlook the essence of the problem. "Just think of it as a rotten piece of flesh on the body of our Great Yan Dynasty." But this actually means sacrificing the people of the entire Zhejiang City and forcing them to rebel to eliminate the Yan Party.
What is frightening is that all the superiors present today, if they put aside their conscience and just look at it from the perspective of a political animal, think that this may be the best way to consolidate power.
From the perspective of the emperor, although the Yan Party is useful, if Yan Song and Yan Shifan cannot control so many of their disciples and subordinates, then it will do more harm than good to the country and they will have to be eliminated sooner or later.
From the perspective of powerful officials, without the Yan Party, the Qingliu faction became the only one in power. They became the faction closest to the imperial power, and many policies could hopefully be implemented - but are the Qingliu faction really stronger than the Yan Party and more concerned about the people than the Yan Party?
"It's just a group of people who think highly of themselves and refuse to obey the Yan Party. They have gathered under Prince Yu and will become the next Yan Party's future and the people who are betting on the future king."
"The pure stream... those who do not follow the mainstream are the pure stream, but the pure stream will do whatever it takes to replace the mainstream. But when the day comes when the 'pure stream' becomes the mainstream, will they be better than the previous mainstream?"
At this moment, Emperor Ursus also understood the meaning of the word "Qingliu". Before, like everyone else, when he heard this title, he thought that the Qingliu Party should be more upright than the Yan Party, but now it seems that he was wrong.
The Yan Party was united from top to bottom, and there were still good officials like Hu Zongxian who protected the people of Zhejiang City. Although he was eventually squeezed out, he also tried his best to take care of both sides.
In order to overthrow the Yan Party, the Qingliu faction wanted to sacrifice the entire Zhejiang City. Compared with Zhang Juzheng's previous indignation at the Yan Party's destruction of dikes and flooding of fields, it is really ironic.
"In Da Yan's words, this is what they call all crows are black. You can see the blackness of others, but not your own blackness, right?" Tallulah also shook her head, her eyes full of disappointment, and said lightly:
"Now, in order to overthrow Yan, they are willing to abandon the people of a mobile city and let them rebel. If a few more factions emerge in the future to compete with them, how many mobile cities will they have to abandon?"
Like Chen Huijie, she had previously felt that the opposition between the Qingliu and the Yan Party was probably a gathering of good officials, but this scene now made her feel even more desperate about the future of Dayan in the play - neither faction was a good person, and the opposition was not because of ideas, but because of interests.
"...Lord Xu and Gao Gong, do they both think so?" In the drama, Prince Yu, as a prince, did not even have the courage to oppose such an approach at the first moment.
However, it was obvious from Prince Yu's expression that he was not very willing to allow the Qingliu faction to do so. He turned around and asked Tan Lun, hoping that he could give him a reason to refuse.
For this reason, Tan Lun was silent for a while, then hesitantly said:
"It's a great strategy, but... it makes the people of Zhejiang City suffer."
Even Tan Lun was neither in favor nor against the proposal, and Prince Yu looked a little disappointed. Just when all the people in power were silent, thinking that this ruthless but useful proposal had to be implemented, Princess Yu suddenly interrupted the conversation.
At this moment, Princess Yu seemed to represent the conscience of the audience. She spoke out the voices of herself and the audience to this group of self-proclaimed loyal and sanctimonious scholars, saying:
"I heard everything you said just now - it's the general trend. Some things can't be done in a short time, but there is one thing that we must never forget: the country of Great Yan."
"Your Highness is the Crown Prince, and the prince in your arms is also the Crown Prince. With this in mind, you should also think ahead and leave a kingdom that wins the hearts of the people for Your Highness and the Prince."
"Your Majesty is the crown prince, and will be the emperor of Great Yan in the future. All the people of Great Yan Dynasty are your people, and will be the people of the Crown Prince in the future. How can a king and father stand by and watch his people suffer?"
"Hu Zongxian knows how to care for the people in his territory. Your Majesty, and you, are you not even as good as Hu Zongxian?"
"The Great Yan Dynasty is not the Great Yan Dynasty of the Yan Party, nor is it the Great Yan Dynasty of the corrupt officials and tyrants under them. They can bully the people, Prince, and those of you who claim to be loyal subjects, you can't turn a blind eye."
Princess Yu's words made everyone in the play fall silent. They also made many people in power outside the play, who felt that this was the only way out and had to do it even if it was ruthless, blush silently.
Obviously, the words of Princess Yu in the play are truly righteous, and can be said to be truly for the sake of the country and the king. From the moment these officials began to fight each other for their own interests and sacrifice the people, no matter how beautiful and righteous they said, they were destined to make the wrong choice.
Since there is no way to do anything about food, there is only one way, which is to use Zhejiang City as a battlefield for the two factions to fight and decide the outcome in Zhejiang City.
No matter what, the fate of the Yan Party has been suppressed by Yan Shifan in Zhejiang City. If the rice-to-mulberry conversion is done well, then the Yan Party will be valuable to Jiajing, and there will be no need to overthrow Yan for the time being.
The only way to defeat the Yan Party was to make a mistake in replacing rice with mulberry. As long as the Yan Party was unable to replace rice with mulberry, Jiajing would inevitably bring down the Yan Party, which had lost its value.
At the end of the fifth episode, when Yan Shifan gave a set of four treasures of the study that were precious enough to be heirlooms to his disciple Gao Hanwen, the new governor of Zhejiang City whom he recommended, Yan Shifan was moved and responded with enthusiasm.
Finally, Yan Shifan also explained why he wanted Gao Hanwen, a "useless" scholar, to take on such an important position.
"The hardship in the Imperial Academy is hard to endure after all. The purpose of nurturing talents is to display their talents. For people like them, if they can survive the fire and water, their life will not be in vain."
"Besides, if he is asked to implement the national policy of replacing rice with mulberry trees this time, if it causes a civil uprising... it will be a shield from the government and the public."
Yan Shifan's words had quietly determined Gao Hanwen's fate. He knew that Gao Hanwen, a young man who pursued fame and was willing to die to show his determination in order to take revenge on someone who had helped him, would definitely work hard to promote national policies in Zhejiang City, so there was no need to worry that he would turn against the country.
On the other hand... as mentioned before, a scholar is completely useless, and Gao Hanwen is such a person in Yan Shifan's eyes. If he does a good job, it's good, but if he messes up... it's reasonable for a nerd like Gao Hanwen to be thrown out to take the blame.
The content of the fifth episode also ended here. The people in the hall had not yet reacted until the Duke of Windermere asked in surprise:
"That's it? No, where's the fight with officials later? That's the main point, why does it end here?"
Everyone who has watched "The Great Yan Dynasty" knows that the next battle with officials is the key point. What other means will these parasites of the Yan Party in Zhejiang City use to implement the rice-to-mulberry conversion? And what methods will the Qingliu faction use to stop the Yan Party?
Everyone understands what political struggles are about, but when it comes to their implementation, it depends on the methods used by the operator. These details are all valuable information!
"I'm really sorry, everyone. Due to time constraints, we have only produced the fifth episode. As for the rest of the content, if you still want to watch it, I can only ask you to look forward to it."
"Please understand that there are many details of the official struggle that need to be filmed later, so it will naturally take a little longer. I believe everyone now understands that it takes a lot of time for our drama to explain everything clearly."
After Chen Qi said this, everyone fell silent. Now they have all intuitively felt the shock of "The Great Yan Dynasty 1566". Although this drama is bitter and difficult to understand in comparison, it is like a good medicine, bitter but really useful.
Especially for them who are now the ruling class, there are many things worth referring to, which is very helpful for them to understand the actions of the people below and become familiar with the officialdom.
Because, judging from the general political level of the Terra continent today, everyone's tactics are really too immature compared to those in "The Great Yan Dynasty".
This is a TV series with few fools. Everyone is scheming against each other, and everyone has to use all means to protect their own lives and interests. The higher the official position, the more sophisticated the tricks. All the wisdom of officialdom is included in it.
"——Director Chen Qi, I have an unwelcome request."
At this moment, the Emperor of Ursus suddenly stood up. The new Emperor of Ursus stared at Chen Qi, suppressing his desire to win over Chen Qi, and said:
"I came here for peace with Dayan, but I also came for Director Chen Qi's talent. Now, peace between the two countries has been achieved, and I have witnessed Director Chen Qi's talent."
"However, no matter how much I value talent, I cannot stay in Da Yan for long, but I am reluctant to part with Director Chen Qi's talent. So, after filming a new episode, can Director Chen Qi make a videotape of the content of this drama and send it to the Saint Steed Castle in Ursus?"
The new Emperor of Ursus thought very clearly that his current situation was not much different from that of Emperor Jiajing, but in terms of imperial mentality, he had to admit that he was not as good as Jiajing.
Although he also looked down on Jiajing's "rule by inaction" of doing nothing and focusing on becoming a giant, he had to admit that Jiajing's imperial mentality was very suitable for him to break the impasse in Ursus and the new and old aristocratic factions.
He wanted to use Jiajing's imperial mentality to gradually pull the imperial power back from the hands of the new and old nobles and return it to his own hands. He was unwilling to be a "Jim Hack" who was restricted in every way. He would rather be Emperor Jiajing who could do things according to his own ideas!
"Director Chen Qi, I have the same idea." At this time, Tracys also followed suit and made the same request. Obviously, his ideas were similar to those of Emperor Ursus.
Tresis now also needs these imperial mentalities to balance the kings in the royal court, and this knowledge is also useful to him. And the means used by many officials in the court to fight will also be useful to him in rebuilding Kazdel in the future.
Seeing that Theresis and Emperor Ursus had said so, the others stopped being reserved and expressed that they also wanted a copy and would go back and study it slowly.
"Director Chen Qi, I'll leave Victoria to you."
"Director Chen Qi, the order of Syracuse also needs your knowledge..."
"Stop, stop, stop! I get it, I get it! Don't worry, everyone. When we finish filming each new episode and broadcast it in Dayan, we will also send these finished products to you as soon as possible!"
Chen Qi was a little embarrassed, and did not refuse their request at the moment. After all, how could the Emperor Jiajing's imperial mind be so easy to learn? In the future, "The Great Yan Dynasty" will definitely be broadcast publicly. How much they can learn and understand in this time depends on their own ability.
However, from Chen Qi's own point of view, given Terra's "simple" environment, most of them would probably have to spend a lot of effort to understand the show.
PS: Today is the third chapter! I still owe the last chapter for the reward! (The day of escaping from the sea of suffering is just around the corner! Work hard on typing, work hard... paralyzed...)
Volume 300: Chapter : The father-son relationship between Zuo Xuanliao and Zuo Le, what Zuo Xuanliao wants to say to his son
"You agreed so readily. Aren't you afraid that they will use your TV series to imitate Jiajing? This Jiajing is not a good emperor at all."
The state banquet came to an end for the time being, and Chen Qi and Tallulah returned to the filming site. Chen Huijie, who was wearing an extremely simple cloth dress and played Hai Rui, naturally heard from the two about the state guests asking Chen Qi to buy the drama separately.
Yes, buy it. After the state banquet, Chen Qi was pulled over by the Ursus Emperor alone, and it was at that time that Chen Qi learned what the Ursus Emperor meant - he hoped that Chen Qi's videotape of "The Great Yan Dynasty" could be sent to the location he designated separately, rather than being sent to Saint Jun Castle in the name of the official.
Emperor Ursus did this for only one purpose, which was to create an information gap. He did not want any faction of the new and old nobles to know about the drama "Da Yan Dynasty 1566".
Because it is obvious that I can learn Jiajing's imperial mentality from this drama, and they naturally understand how to crack it from this drama. At that time, both sides will restrain each other. It is not known whether Emperor Ursus has learned from Jiajing or not, but when these people act as "Yan Song", each one is more shrewd than the other.
Therefore, Emperor Ursus would never let them see this drama. He wanted to learn the essence of it earlier than them, so that he could use it on the new and old nobles. By then, he would try his best to take back some power. By the time they reacted, it would be too late.
"Jiajing is not that eager to learn... But if he can really learn it, it might be a good thing for Ursus now."
"The Emperor of Ursus did offer a good price, and the things he ordered were not difficult. Once we reach the border of Ursus, he will send someone he trusts to pick up our video tapes."
Chen Qi also explained to Chen Huijie and Tallulah why he agreed to the request of Emperor Ursus and others, saying:
"We have to finish filming this drama. According to the current progress, it will take at least another year. We have to finish filming the drama before we can release it in Dayan. This one year is the time for the new emperor of Ursus to turn the situation around... To be honest, it's not enough."
