The red building is so arrogant

"
[My aunt’s father-in-law passed away due to the complications of the new crown, so I went to work with him for a while, and came back late, and I was in a bad mood. Today, I will post half a chapter for free, and make up yesterday’s broken chapter, which is considered a day off. . 】

After Jiao Shun finished his 'boastful talk', the Hall of Renshou fell into silence again.

In fact, such remarks about imagining the future out of thin air are not very surprising. If you meet a resolute Confucian in person, you may immediately refute this fantasy, and even the required arguments for refutation are ready-made. Excerpted from some ancient books.

however……

After all, the Supreme Emperor was not a great Confucian. Although he complained a lot about the New Deal because of the turmoil in the court, he was far from swearing against the New Deal like the Confucian scholars.

More importantly, he has been blind for several years, and he can only make up for the new things that have appeared recently, such as ironclad ships, bicycles, generators, lighthouses, etc., through the descriptions of others.

When most people mention these new things, they tend to exaggerate unconsciously—for example, when Jiao Shun just built a bicycle, it was said to be "foot on hot wheels".

Affected by this, the Taishanghuang's impression of these objects is actually far more bizarre than ordinary people, and therefore he can feel the changes of "changing with each passing day".

So after thinking about it carefully, he felt that Jiao Shun's words were not too exaggerated, which aroused a strong sense of crisis.

But if you want to turn to support the New Deal, you can't turn this corner for a while.

Besides, father and son can't both stand on the opposite side of the ministers, can they?

So he was silent for a while, and finally he shook his head and said, "I'm afraid your words are a little alarmist."

Jiao Shun saw that the emperor's tone was obviously much better than when he pressed the question just now, and he knew that even if he was not persuaded by himself, he might be somewhat shaken.

So I hurriedly hit the iron while it was hot: "This is just picking up your majesty's teeth. I dare not deceive the Supreme Emperor. When I first heard about this, I felt unfounded and worrying. But the more I understand the behavior of the Uxi Kingdom, the more I feel like walking on thin ice. I feel that His Majesty is far-sighted!"

"Just two or three hundred years ago, Nawuxi was just a tiny country in the far west. In terms of national strength, it was not a leader among the western barbarians. In order to rise to prosperity, Uxi would do everything possible."

"Exploiting the people internally, and even issuing private piracy certificates externally, condoning the bandits to attack foreign business trips, and promising to provide them with shelters such as selling stolen goods and supplies, so the Xiyi group of pirates were willing to obey orders, which led to a sudden increase in the military strength of the Uxi Kingdom. , and finally defeated the 'Invincible Fleet' of the most powerful country in Xiyi, and began to rule the roost in Europa."

"Since then, the country has become stronger and stronger, and it has become even more unscrupulous. Relying on the strength of ships and guns, it has recklessly slaughtered cities and destroyed the country. For more than a hundred years, it has expanded countless lands, and its jurisdiction is several times that of our celestial dynasty. name."

"The viciousness and greed of that generation is even worse than the Mongols at the end of the Song Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty at the end of the Ming Dynasty! If our Great Xia wants long-term peace and stability for generations to come, we must not give them the slightest chance to take advantage of it."

"That's why I think that, even if it's just to leave a guarantee for future generations, the industrial innovation implemented by His Majesty must be carried forward no matter how many disadvantages there are!"

Because he participated in the review of the palace examination, the Supreme Emperor had a little understanding of the cruelty of the Wuxi Kingdom, and in response to Jiao Shun's assumption just now, the balance in his heart unconsciously reversed.

But after all, he has been upright for many years, even if his will is shaken, it is impossible to show it immediately, not to mention that what he is most opposed to is not the New Deal itself, but the way Emperor Longyuan radically promotes the New Deal.

So after thinking about it for a while, he waved his hand suddenly and said, "I know, just step back."

Jiao Shun was hesitant to speak when he heard that, but he didn't have a clear answer on the purpose of his trip.

The Supreme Emperor seemed to have noticed something, and added: "I will send someone to the emperor in two days for the ranking in the palace examination."

"Sir, retire!"

Jiao Shun immediately gave a deep salute, and stepped back out of Renshou Palace.
