Chapter 287 Seeing Politics From A Woman's Perspective
Using the metaphor that was very common in Liu Yu's previous life, the current water transportation and Huanghuai problems are like the problem of who should be rescued first when the daughter-in-law and mother fall into the water.

In the case of the former Ming Dynasty, besides the mother and daughter-in-law, there is also an ancestor, which is a trilemma.

Water transportation changed to the sea, which means that the daughter-in-law did not fall into the water.The Yellow River, the mother river, there will be only one mother left to save, so there will be many more ways.

Kang Bushao's idea is also simple, this dilemma is easy to solve: wait for the daughter-in-law to drown first, and then go to save the mother, isn't it a dilemma?
Seeing that Liu Yu was still hesitating, Kang Buxio said directly, "Young master, the so-called gentleman stays away from the kitchen. In the future, if something happens to the Yellow River, it has nothing to do with you, nor is it the embankment of the Yellow River or the canal that you blocked."

"What Mr. Tan thinks is to solve the problem before it happens, but has he solved it? In my opinion, it's useless to say it."

These words made Liu Yu a little more relaxed. Whether it was natural disasters or human disturbances, millions of casualties were involved.

This seems to be no way, the feudal imperial court has always been a headache to treat the head and feet, and there is no plan for several years.

"Okay, let me think about it again. I have been planning for a long time, and I can only rely on God to make a disaster? After this incident, I am a little depressed. Isn't this still a tinker? Only after it is broken can it be repaired?"

Kang Buxio said with relief: "Since ancient times, keeping the old is the easiest, followed by the new, and change is the hardest. Whether you are engaged in the navy or starting a company, it is all about innovation, not change."

"The only thing that can be called a revolution is the military reform. The military reform, the son is a gamble, and the opponent is only the big and small Cering Dunduobu of the Zhunbu. If you don't consider people, you can control the river and waste the water. You have to think about God."

"If you win the people, can you win the sky? If you dare to bet your life on people, how can you bet your life on God? I'm afraid that if you don't consider the canal and control the Yellow River and Huai River on a large scale, if God floods, all previous efforts will be wasted."

"After such a toss, 10,000+ people will die every year. It's better to have a big one at a time, a disaster that will kill a million people, once and for all, and completely solve the water transportation and Huanghuai problems. Don't blame me for being cruel, my son, I'm just telling the truth , After all, I didn’t go to dig the Yellow River embankment.”

The phrase "Victory over man, not victory over heaven" made Liu Yu, who has been educated since childhood, very uncomfortable.

Thinking about it carefully, Kang Bushao's words were also wrong.

Where is the invincibility of the sky?It is clear that he still cannot win against the people in the court.

In these years, he tried his best not to stand in the court hall, and he was doing something from scratch, which hardly involved changes.And in the future, it was inevitable that he would have to deal with the people and colleagues in the court, and he began to feel a little uncertain.

Returning to the residence in a dull mood, he picked up his pen and wrote a letter to Tian Zhenyi in the capital city about the recent events in accordance with his usual habits.

It's not to get any advice, just to express the depression in my heart.

In the letter, he gave a general introduction about the water transportation and the Huanghuai River, and also talked about the Jiedu envoy's entry into Beijing to play a big court meeting.

Liu Yu had already approved of Kang Bushao's idea, wondering whether he should tell all the current problems of water transportation, and the focus of the memorial should be on it.

If something really happened to the water transport and Huanghuai in the future, wouldn't it be more weight for the sea transport?
He has a special channel for delivering letters, and he also uses an agreed book to find the font size, and write secret letters according to page numbers.

Tian Zhenyi's reply was quick, but the first sentence in the letter was to refute Liu Yu's idea first.

"Third brother wants to talk about the possible disasters caused by the water transportation and the Huanghuai River, so the third brother wants to be a minister, and let your majesty go down to be a foolish emperor? If something happened to the water transportation and Huanghuai in the past few years, will your majesty still want to come down?" Guilty, crying bitterly, should I regret that I did not listen to your suggestion at the beginning?"

"Third brother wants to be Yuan Benchu's Tian Fengfeng?"

"Third brother, think about it carefully. Is it possible for His Majesty to accept the decision of abolishing the water and changing the sea in the past few years? You have thought about the matter very clearly before. Before the Nanyang incident is resolved, the Navy can prove that His Majesty's original disaster in the East China Sea. Before the worry is no longer necessary, the canal will be preserved anyway, so that the East China Sea will be troubled in the future, and the army after military reform can control the canal.”

"Mr. Kang said that even if there is a disaster in the abolition of the water and reform of the sea, it will be blamed on the head of the abolition of the water and reform of the sea."

"Thinking about it the other way around, in the past few years when His Majesty is sure that it is impossible to abolish the water and change the sea, if something really happens, and the third brother has said a lot in advance, wouldn't the scapegoat be borne by His Majesty?"

"Third Brother thinks that the Water Transport faction will be responsible for this pot. In fact, is it His Majesty or the Minister who vetoed the proposal?"

"Tianzi, do you really like Zhengchen? What the third brother is going to do, without His Majesty's favor, can he do it? Third brother's position in the court, is he a minister? Or a trusted Langguan? Or honorable?" ? You can’t have all three at the same time, the third brother must think clearly.”

At the beginning, there were some fierce words, which completely vetoed what Liu Yu thought.

After reading it, Liu Yu suddenly realized that, indeed, when he was thinking about taking the blame, he forgot about the emperor.

As for himself, he seems to be the leader of the Martial Virtue Palace, Ying Suo Bo, and the Whale Sea Jiedu Envoy.It seems to be honorary, minister, and official, but in fact, these three cannot coexist, and you can only choose one, and the rest are just additions to this.

Change does not happen overnight, and it may always be accompanied by accidents of one kind or another. When it is necessary to take the blame, no one can hold the emperor accountable, and he can only pretend to be guilty.

What Liu Yu thought was, indeed, before the end of the Nanyang War, it would be impossible to implement the abolition of the Cao Cao.However, you can prepare in advance, or first say things like "If you don't do this, something will happen sooner or later", this kind of "prophecy" is the safest, because no one wants to have something happen, and once something happens, it is "foresight". Excellence".

According to his thinking, when the time comes, those who support the water transport faction will have to bear the blame, and the resistance to change will be drastically reduced.

However, Tian Zhenyi thinks that when something happens, the emperor will definitely have a gap in his heart, thinking that Liu Yu has damaged his face and made him embarrassed. Yu gave birth to hate.

Kang Bushao's focus is on party struggle.

And Tian Zhenyi's focus is on human feelings.

Or, Kang Bulao believes that Dashun has party disputes; Tian Zhenyi believes that Dashun has no party disputes, everything is the emperor's tool and balance control, and party disputes are just a situation allowed by the emperor to "pretend that the monarch and his ministers rule together".

In recent years, Tian Zhenyi's letters have always been in this style.Ever since Feng urged Liu Yu to figure out who the Qingzhou Army was when he was in Weihai, Tian Zhenyi has been analyzing problems with this thinking.

Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't seem to work.

After reading the previous short paragraph, I threw the letter into a brazier, burned it to ashes, crushed it, and translated the rest of the letter according to the characters.

Later in the letter, the tone became much softer, but she still wrote some words that she had thought about in the past few years by taking advantage of the position of "minister, nobleman, or Langguan".

"Third brother, when His Majesty first used you, you were only seventeen or eighteen years old. According to His Majesty's words that day, you were just a doll, and it is normal for you to not think carefully."

"Young people should be full of vigor, don't look forward and backward, what your Majesty wants is the vigor of the third brother."

"At that time, I really liked it. I just regarded the third brother as a nephew. I found one among the mud-like noble children who still worried about the country, so I loved it."

"At that time, the third brother could tolerate a lot of outrageous things. Just look at a vigorous child."

"Since your Majesty is ambitious, it is inevitable that you will have the feeling of 'Mu Gu'. I am afraid that I also think of myself as Han Wu, but I imagine my third brother as Huo Qubing."

"If the third brother dies of illness after pacifying the Western Regions, I'm afraid that his position will be unshakable in the end. Part of it is really missing the third brother, and part of your majesty may really feel that he is the reincarnation of Han Wu. It’s really hard to guess.”

"Since the third elder brother compares the current dynasty to the Han and Tang Dynasties, and compares Nanyang to the Western Regions, whether the third elder brother is still a teenager depends not on the third elder brother's age, but on when Nanyang was pacified."

"As long as Nanyang is undecided, the third brother is still a young man in His Majesty's heart. Whether he speaks out loud or rambunctiously, he can tolerate it, and even just smiles lightly. His Majesty will feel that if you have the ambition of Hanwu, you will be rewarded by the heavens." If you keep what you have left behind, you can be my champion."

"If a young man has no vigor, how can he be called a young man?"

"As for Nanyang affairs, they are foreign affairs. Canal affairs are internal affairs. If you deal with internal affairs, the third elder brother will no longer be the vigorous young man in His Majesty's eyes. If you are too aggressive and aggressive, Your Majesty will feel that this is not his. Lang Guan is now a minister of the court."

"My younger sister is just a woman's opinion, but Your Majesty was born in a deep palace and grew up in the hands of a woman. In fact, women can understand her mind more easily."

"That's why I said, let the third brother think clearly, choose one of the three, Xungui, Minister, and Langguan."

"The most prosperous man is Huo Guanjun. After his death, he will be infinitely mourned and honored. Before his death, he made great achievements in battle. He was only twenty-four years old when he died."

"In my opinion, the third elder brother, as a Langguan, can only be used until Nanyang is settled."

"There are still a few years to buffer. During this period of time for the third brother, His Majesty should gradually accept that the third brother is no longer that young man. He has grown from a Langguan to a minister, or a nobleman."

"If the third elder brother wants to do things outside in the future, he will be honored, loyal and brave, arrogant and arrogant, don't care about the government, focus on the outside world, don't understand politics, and don't care about politics, then he can be the 'Governor of Anxi', Guard Nanyang."

"If the third elder brother wants to do things in the future, he will be an important minister, prudent and profound, not standing in line, not choosing sides, pros and cons will be stated, your majesty will decide on his own, and he will be your majesty's staff—there is no phase in this dynasty, and the Temple of Heavenly Blessing is your majesty's. As a staff officer, the third elder brother has created a staff system in the army, you should know that the staff officers only report pros and cons, make plans, but have no decision-making power."

"Nanyang Ruoding, Your Majesty will no longer need an aggressive Langguan. Before that time, if you smile lightly and think that your nephews are young, you may be heartbroken."

"That's why, think deeply, think carefully, think carefully."
