Xinshun 1730

Chapter 808

These sounded like bullshit prophecies, of course Liu Yu didn't believe them.If Tian Zhenyi believed it, it would be impossible for the two of them to raise their eyebrows in such a way.

It's just that they don't believe it themselves, and maybe even no one in the court believes it.

However, it is very possible to engage in incisive attachments, catching wind and shadows, and making some point-to-record like the previous dynasty.

Moreover, the word "eunuch" is not a good word at all.Isn't it easy for people to put such a big hat on their heads at that time, just because those people have read a lot?
At the very least, to the outside world, this group of people is eunuchs. At the beginning, it might just be a joke among the scholars to insult, but after a long time, I am afraid that this joke will become a code name. Nice to hear.

After Tian Zhenyi finished speaking about the red queen, the hairy beast, and the white tiger, she said: "Besides the prophecy, Xia Zheng has other characteristics."

"Officials of the Dingfu have their names and responsibilities, and the responsibility for judging lies with the ministers. Now the military reform of the navy and army; the establishment of the Privy Council of the General Staff Department should be done in response to this."

"Those who govern Xia's government and use soldiers pay attention to 'the best is not to fight, and the second is to be one. The big winner gathers the crowd'. Since the third brother trained soldiers, the methods of using soldiers are all Xia Zheng's style."

"The best thing is not to fight, the second is the second. What I said is to plan and then decide. It is best to win without fighting, and the second is to solve it in one battle."

"Peace the rebellion of Junggar, the lone army went deep to lure the enemy to encircle, and won the battle at the northern foot of Altai Mountain."

"In the overreach of the Japanese kingdom, the navy won without fighting, and there were not many troops, so that the overlords of the Qianqiu became a vassal at one time, and it can be said that they are the best without fighting."

"Going to the South Seas and seeking the western barbarians, I have trained soldiers for more than ten years. I used the Trojan horse to capture Ceylon, took advantage of the chaos in Europa to attack the Netherlands, and tried to find the western barbarians with internal strife in Luocha. These are the best tactics without fighting."

Liu Yu smiled and said, "Isn't this a good thing?"

Tian Zhenyi shook her head and said, "But, however, but... there is another sentence behind this."

She paused, and after she had just said a lot of compliments that seemed to be compliments, she said "but, however, but".

"However... the summer government is implemented with the spring order."

"The number of battles makes the soldiers tired."

"Number of victories is the king's arrogance."

"A proud king wears out the people."

"So, the country is in danger!"

"Using the spring order to carry out the summer government, the so-called 'eunuch' means this."

Liu Yu nodded thoughtfully, and thought about the level of the people in the DPRK. To do this kind of thing, it must be higher or lower than Tian Zhenyi, but even Tian Zhenyi can think of the name "Eunuch Party" , if those people really want to play tricks, how can they not think of it?
It's called stigmatization.

The Eunuch Party existed before, and everyone in the world knows that this is not a good word.At that time, a list of eunuchs will be made out of the shadows, and it will be attached to the association, and such a stigma will be placed on it. After a long time, everyone will acquiesce, which is really hard to say.

Put a hat on someone first, especially since the hat itself is a stigmatizing hat, which has always been a common method of fighting between the DPRK and China.

The cronies are like this, the eunuchs are like this, Donglin... This is what will be stigmatized by later generations, and then this hat will be pinned everywhere.But now, the name of the eunuch party has saved the process of stigmatization for later generations, and it has long been filthy.

Seeing Liu Yu frowning in thought, Tian Zhenyi said, "As for the remaining two, I don't need to elaborate."

"Since the establishment of the Shibo Department in the Tang Dynasty, the eunuchs of Sanbao went to the West. Most of the Shibo, Navy, and voyages were led by eunuchs."

""Tongjian" said: Tang set up a city ship in Guangzhou to reap the benefits of merchant ships, and it was done by eunuchs. Since the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the No. 1 known first thing about this city ship is the Tang Dynasty. The eunuch Wei Mou."

"Compared with Li and Tang, this dynasty promoted the Shibo Customs. As for the Ming Dynasty, when the Sanbao eunuch went to the West, he tied the Shibo, Customs, Navy, etc. with the eunuchs and eunuchs."

"This is the second."

"As for the third..."

"Eunuchs and eunuchs are people on the edge of the world. They are contemptuous of scholars, and they are not tolerated by yin and yang."

"The third elder brother and Xinxue come from many backgrounds, and they talk about geometry and astronomy, or about ocean currents and charts, or about trade and commerce, or about the capital market, and they are also different from the world's Zhengxue."

"Eunuchs and eunuchs are marginalized by their bodies; new learners of the navy are marginalized by their knowledge."

"At its root, it is quite similar. It is said that it is generally incompatible with eunuchs and eunuchs, and marginal to scholars. It should be comparable."

"These three theories are enough to taint them as 'eunuchs'."

After all, Tian Zhenyi couldn't help laughing and said: "Besides, the emperor also said that Xunqing's theory of the four ministers told you not to learn it. If it doesn't mean you are going to be eunuchs, what is it?"

"Your Majesty said that Xun Qing's so-called four kinds of ministers should not be ministers of the country; he also praised Mi Ziming's saying that 'there is a difference between the inside and the outside'. Does the third brother think of the deep meaning in it?"

"The difference between inside and outside is not to praise Mi Ziming's Nanyang policy. In fact, there are other meanings—there is a difference between inside and outside. Don't think about being foreign ministers, but be royal retainers. There is also a difference between inside and outside."

"Huang Zongxi, a survivor of the former dynasty, once said the disaster of the eunuchs of the former dynasty, saying: "The six ministers of today's husband and prime ministers come from the government office, and the comments and answers in this chapter are first passed down orally, and then drafted by votes. The wealth of the world comes from the internal treasury first. Taicang, the prisons in the world, Dongchang first, then Judiciary, everything else is the same."

"This dynasty takes history as a mirror, and within the world, it will never do things like eunuchs meddling in politics."

"But outside the world, you can clearly distinguish the difference between inside and outside... Heh, third brother, let me ask you:"

"The benefits of Nanyang and trade...does it belong to Neiku? Or Taicang?"

"Should the administration of Nanyang and Dongyang... belong to the six governments? Or should it belong to an institution that seems to have great power but has no institutionalization?"

"The naval and Nanyang campaign...was it discussed by the six governments and the court of God? Or did the emperor's small circle make a decision and go out with internal funds and trading companies as logistics?"

"This person with a new and practical background...is he eligible to be elected as an inland prefecture or county? Can he be qualified to be the minister of the imperial examination?"

"How can it be right to say that you are 'ministers'? You are not the ministers of the world, but the retainers of the royal family. There is a difference between the royal retainers and the ministers of the world. This is the difference between internal and external '."

"As for the emperor's retainers, haven't they been full of eunuchs and eunuchs since ancient times? You have been doing the same things as eunuchs and eunuchs since ancient times; All power comes from the king's favor and personal favor."

"Apart from the body being different from eunuchs and eunuchs, what's the difference?"

"The emperor wants them to be royal retainers and slaves. He doesn't want them to be real ministers."

"The emperor wants them to know the 'difference between inside and outside'. Some things should not be in the hands of those people."

"That's why the emperor said Xunqing's "The Way of Officials", and said that the four ministers of the country should not be learned, and that the difference between inside and outside is the best. This is what he meant."

"It's just that these words are not pleasant to hear. It is inconvenient for the emperor to say so, so I let the third brother say it."

Liu Yu frowned and said, "The difference between inside and outside?"

Tian Zhenyi nodded, and added: "The affairs of the world are handled by the ministers of the world. The ministers of the world have moral principles."

"This dynasty changed the Taizu's policy of 'equalizing the land and exempting grain', and used the name of 'protecting the world', because of the word 'orthodoxy'."

"Third brother can understand, what is the world? Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, and the world depends on the orthodoxy."

"Your 'orthodoxy' is unusable and unusable; but your ability is very strong, you can and must use it."

"Eunuchs and eunuchs have always been able to abound, but they have skills but no way. The emperor uses his skills and abilities, and is a family servant and slave, so he can avoid the dispute of orthodoxy."

"In the affairs of the court, you must talk about the orthodoxy and the right way. In the affairs of the ministers, you don't need to talk about the orthodoxy and the orthodox way. Moreover, the inner ministers can't talk about the orthodox orthodox way of the world."

"The so-called difference between internal and external means that in the future, Nanyang, industry and commerce, trade and other matters will not belong to the affairs of the world. They will not belong to the six governments or the Temple of God's Blessing. They are only royal private affairs. The navy is the Royal Navy, and trade is a trade monopolized by the royal family. , Nanyang is the royal Nanyang."

"For the affairs of the world, the policy of spring order is still followed, unchanged, tolerant, and compromised. For affairs outside the world, contend for supremacy in Xiyi and profit in Nanyang. The emperor can use his private subsidies to the treasury; The barbarians and those who took advantage of Nanyang are all internal ministers and do not enter the court, they are only the emperor's private servants."

"Eunuchs are not allowed to engage in politics, and are not allowed to criticize court policies. Whatever you are asked to do, do what you want; whatever you are not allowed to do, don't shout that the policy is wrong... If you are not a minister of the world, you are not qualified to discuss the politics of the world."

"In the future, overseas affairs will be the private affairs of the royal family, not the affairs of the world. If you are a royal retainer, if you want to do it, you will do it; if you don't want to do it, you will not do it."

When Tian Zhenyi said this, Liu Yu immediately understood.He has always vaguely felt that there is indeed such a trend, and it can even be said that it has been similar to this trend since his military training.

The advantage is that there is no need to talk so much, and the emperor supports it, and things can be done.But there are also many disadvantages. You don't need to talk so much about the other side of the blandness, that is, you are not a serious minister.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu smiled wryly and said: "It seems that the emperor wishes that we are all real eunuchs."

Tian Zhenyi shook her head and said, "That's not true. It's not good to be a real eunuch."

"Mr. Chuanshan said: Eunuch temples are more evil than scholars, because they have no excuses for honesty, and their children and grandchildren are concerned, so they are not afraid of death."

"A real eunuch has no moral constraints and no worries about his descendants and family members, so he is not afraid of death at all when he does bad things."

"Everyone in the navy has both moral constraints and concerns about descendants and family members. When doing things, they are more considerate."

"Because of learning, he is regarded as a gentry, marginalized in the world, and a marginalized person in the world. In fact, he is no different from eunuchs and eunuchs, but there are no eunuchs and eunuchs who do not consider their family members and grandchildren, and only need to consider their own uncontrollability when doing things. Therefore, true eunuchs, It's not good."

"The current situation is the best. However, one person needs to reveal their identities and tell them that they should not regard themselves as court ministers. There are differences between inside and outside, but they are just ministers of the emperor's family."

"Among them, the one who seems to be doing the best is you, third brother."

Speaking of this, Tian Zhenyi covered her mouth and laughed lightly again. These words sounded like she was mocking her husband "has the talent to be a eunuch".

Liu Yu looked at Tian Zhenyi who was hiding her mouth and chuckled, and said helplessly, "I don't have this talent, so how can I do it the best? Besides, what should I say about this?"

"These words are just for the two of us to talk about. Is it possible to really talk to them and let them straighten out their identities and learn to be courtiers? Who would be willing to be insulted like this if they are a little bit hot-tempered? The emperor sure You want me to make it clear, but I definitely don't want it to be so direct and insulting."

Tian Zhenyi said: "Your Majesty, since you talked about Xunqing's "The Way of the Minister", you still need to answer it from Xunqing's "The Way of the Minister."

"Your Majesty is absolutely not allowed to talk about the four ministers of the society, Fu and Fu. Although Xunqing praises it a lot, the emperor must be taboo. Mobilizing all officials to force the emperor and go against the emperor's will, as long as things are done, that's it. It is not tolerated by the emperor."

"As for the admonisher, the emperor talked about Jizi, and mentioned the words 'the emperor came out of the earthquake' and 'returning to the guest'. The third brother also thought to himself, went to the colony to implement the way in his heart, and in the future turned the guest into the main. Is it possible? "

"Even if he is an eunuch, did the third brother forget the words that the eunuchs in the Han Dynasty said, 'I must be a patient of the Han'?"

"But among the four kinds of ministers of the community, the only one that the emperor said was not very worried was 'zheng minister'. At most, he sighed that the death of the Sanlu doctor was of no benefit to the country; Wu Zixu killed himself, and the state of Wu also perished. But But I didn't worry about them having the disaster of 'Zheng, Fu, Fu'."
