I am the king of the dead

Chapter 716 What is destiny?

For King Xiang, what His Majesty does is right, even though he very much hopes that His Majesty will return to Beijing to be a good man and help him out of trouble, but when His Majesty went to Jiujiang Mansion to deal with the promotion of the farm law, King Xiang would not say that His Majesty should not go , this is not something that can be said.

What can I say?What can be done?
In Daming, it is even possible to say that Ming must perish, and to discuss His Majesty’s shortcomings, such as the fact that you can’t catch fish in a stinky chess basket, and even merchant ships can go to sea with long and short soldiers, bows, crossbows, and cannons.

What can't be said?What can't be done?
You can't say anything that hurts the people, and you can't do anything that hurts the people.

Zhu Zhanqian was forced to lose his position because of the surrender system, so he could only find a way to save himself.

The birth of the fifth prince gave Zhu Zhanqian a good reason.

As the uncle of the first emperor and the fifth grandfather of the child's first cousin, Zhu Zhanqian's wanton manipulation is very reasonable, and no one can find a fault.

Hu Wei, Minister of Rites of Daming, took Liu Ji to the Huitong Hall proudly, to announce the good news to Nikolaoz.

As the minister of the Ministry of Rites, he didn't need him to come, he just sent Liu Ji over, but he liked to sit and discuss with Nikolaoz, discussing the experience of Rome's subjugation.

After all, His Majesty is often scolded as the king of subjugation, so it is natural to learn from the experience of subjugation in order to avoid the real subjugation of the country.

Hu Wei sat down and said with a smile: "Princess Elena is happy to have a unicorn, so I'm here to inform your envoy."

"Congratulations, congratulations." Nikolaos said happily: "The heir of the King of Kings and the Roman Princess will surely be glorious for thousands of miles in the future."

Hu Wei shook his head, touched the goatee and said, "No one can tell what will happen in the future. I just hope that the child can grow up healthy and healthy."

Nikolaoz still said unrelentingly: "With His Majesty's blessing, he will definitely become an admirable king."

Hu Wei said with certainty: "That is inevitable."

"This child is His Majesty's child, and also my Daming's crown prince. Don't make any troubles, or you won't be able to bear His Majesty's thunderous wrath."

This is a warning.

Warn Nikolaoz not to do things, such as sneaking away with Elena and the fifth prince.

If Nikolaoz is not decent, then Daming can't be blamed for not being decent.

Nikolaoz shook his head and said, "No matter how noble the blood is, without His Majesty's blessing, it's like a dragon swimming in shallow water and being teased by shrimps, and a tiger being bullied by dogs in the wilderness."

Hu Mei nodded in satisfaction and said, "What you said is: Longyou was bullied by shrimps in shallow water, and tigers were bullied by dogs in Pingyang."

Hu Wei is very satisfied that Nikolaoz can clearly and clearly know that this child is the fifth prince of Ming Dynasty first, and the hope of Roman Lightning's return second.

Nikolaoz took out a book and said: "I have written some more in "The Travel Notes of the Roman Emissary to Daming", and I ask Hu Shangshu to correct it."

Hu Yi took the book and read it seriously.

Father, like son.

As a Daming person, there are some things that Da Ming is in the game from top to bottom, so he can't see clearly, but Nikolaoz, as a bystander, can provide more perspectives.

Nikolaoz has been writing the book, and Hu Wei often corrects what Nikolaoz wrote.

Hu Wei is old after all, he turned sideways, put on his reading glasses, and read while reading:
"Recently, the great king of Ming Dynasty left the capital again and headed towards the most affluent south. It didn't take long for boat after boat of silver to be transported into the capital along the Grand Canal, just like the last tour to the south. .”

"There is too much money. The Chaoyang Gate can no longer be turned around. The Senate decided to open a new city gate on the city gate. I must praise the speed of the Ming people. The construction of a city gate took less than a month. time."

Hu Wei paused and said: "There is no senate in the Ming Dynasty, only six ministers, ministers, elders of Wenyuan Pavilion, eunuch Bingbi, supervisor of ceremonies, censors of the left and right of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Wu Xun and other 27 people. I have corrected it many times, if you still think it is the Senate, I have nothing to say."

Nikolaoz said very helplessly: "I really can't tell the difference between the Senate and the members of the Wenhua Palace, except that most of the 27 people in the Wenhua Palace are not hereditary nobles."

"I'm very sorry."

Hu Wei nodded quite positively and said: "You have already mentioned the biggest difference. In your impression, the Roman Senate is all nobles, while our court councils, except for military merits, are all bureaucratic selections. .”

"That's the essential difference."

Nikolaoz thought about it seriously, and finally sighed and said: "Hu Shangshu obviously knows everything, but he just refuses to teach me. I really don't understand."

Hu Yan smiled, but did not answer.

He knew what Nikolaoz wanted to ask, but he just didn't say it.

What's yours is mine, and what's mine is mine, that's the bottom line for Hu Mei in the process of communicating with the Roman envoy.

His Majesty once discussed the birth of the country with him, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, or to put it more plainly, what is the fate of destiny.

His Majesty and him expressed their opinions, and finally Hu Wei and His Majesty reached a consensus on the birth of the country and the destiny of the destiny.

Due to various interests, the country and society will be divided into irreconcilable opposites who are unable to get rid of each other. Your Majesty identifies these opposites as classes.

And in order to prevent these opposites, these classes with conflicting economic interests, from destroying themselves and the country in unnecessary internal struggles.

For example, the anger of ordinary people piled up layer by layer, and when they were finally drawn out by natural and man-made disasters, they burned the world to the ground.

At this time, there is a need for a power that appears to be above all classes. This power should moderate conflicts and keep conflicts between classes within the scope of order and stability.

This kind of power that arises from each class but resides above each class and is responsible for mediating the contradictions and conflicts of each class is the birth of the country, and it is also the destiny of the destiny.

How to reconcile?

Spokespersons for each class are needed to express the appeals of each class, and finally to reconcile each other's appeals and ease the contradictions of each class.

Then the bureaucratic official system of the Ming Dynasty is to screen these spokespersons, appeal for interests, and reconcile contradictions.

There is an essential difference between the 27 members of the court council of the Ming Dynasty and the Roman Senate. Most of the 27 members of the court council of the Ming Dynasty are not hereditary nobles, they are the spokespersons of all classes.

In the past, there was a lack of spokespersons for the interests of various classes in Ming Dynasty.

And what is missing are the two most important classes, ordinary farmers and artisans who represent productivity.

What is an unjust world?What is the deer that competes in the world?What is the specific meaning of destiny?
Failure to reconcile class conflicts is a loss of morality.

The deer is the power to mediate class contradictions.

The destiny of destiny is to master the method of reconciling class contradictions.

The righteousness of the imperial court is to reconcile class contradictions. This is its power and its duty.

This is an important achievement of Ming Dynasty's great political speculation after 14 years of orthodox changes. How could Hu Wei easily tell Nikolaoz, an outsider?

Hu Wei continued to read Nikolaoz's travel notes, and continued: "The great and greedy emperor confiscated the homes of some wealthy households, and a steady stream of money flowed into the emperor's private treasury like a river."

"Recently, the Ming emperor launched a tool called national debt, which seems to want to turn the military bureau responsible for minting coins into the royal family's private property."

"With such a cruel and greedy method, the ministers of Ming Dynasty seem to be afraid of the emperor's blame, and none of them dare to speak out."

When Hu Yan read this, his complexion was really complicated. He asked suspiciously, "Do you think the emperor of Ming Dynasty is short of money?"

Nikolaoz said with a strange expression: "Your Majesty seems to be very stingy. I heard that His Majesty's dresses are washed before wearing. Your Majesty is so rich and so stingy, just like a miser."

Seeing that Hu's face was getting worse and worse, Nikolaoz hurriedly added: "Da Ming is a civilized country, and his king even allowed his subjects to discuss his shortcomings. That's why I said so."

It is well known that the lamps of Tai'an Palace and Hubu have only one wick.

Hu Yi immediately blushed, and said angrily: "Your majesty's crown clothes are washed and worn again because the cost is too expensive! Your majesty is frugal, as we all know, this is a virtue! Let you, a barbarian, talk here? !"

"What do you know!"

Nikolaoz said with a confused face: "I don't understand, so I asked."

Hu Wei raised his eyebrows and realized that he had been hit by Nikolaoz's provocative method. He knew what Nikolaoz wanted to ask, but he just didn't say it.

Hu Wei resumed his previous calm and said calmly: "That is to say, His Majesty's mind is as broad as a valley, and he doesn't care about you, otherwise, just this sentence of yours is enough to kill you a hundred times."

Nikolaoz regretted it very much. Hu Wei, an old fox, was too shrewd to ask any questions.

In Hu Wei's opinion, His Majesty is extremely magnanimous, letting people talk, Ming Dynasty can't perish, and the throne can't be lost, even if he gets angry again, His Majesty will accept his kind words.

What does Nikolaoz want to ask?
Where did he want to ask why the emperor was a miser? He clearly wanted to ask why when silver flowed into the national and domestic funds, it was divided equally?

And what is the reason why the emperor occupies half of it?
Reconciling class conflicts requires spokespersons for the interests of all classes, and a referee is needed in the process of reconciliation, and this referee is the emperor.

Why did the emperor reconcile class conflicts?
In the four major fields of military, politics, culture, and economy, the emperor must have the ability to bypass the spokespersons of the interests of each class in order to reconcile class conflicts and be qualified to be a referee.

Otherwise, why do you referee?

In Daming, this is called power falling aside, and artifacts usurping.

Naturally, Hu Wei would not explain it to Nikolaoz so transparently. He thought and wrote whatever he liked, and how he liked to write.

Nicholas said a little unwillingly: "Hu Shangshu is the prince's young teacher, and is responsible for teaching the emperor's heir. If Hu Shangshu doesn't tell me, will he tell the fifth prince?"

He doesn't understand, he can die with regrets.

But if you don't understand the hope of Rome and the reliance on the lightning return, then the result of the lightning return will be a flash and disappear without a trace.

Hu Mei nodded quite accurately and said: "Your Majesty said that the Popes would teach the Fifth Prince, if I was still alive when the Fifth Prince went to school."

Hearing this ambiguous answer, Nikolaoz said helplessly, "I wish Hu Shangshu a long life."

Seeing Nikolaoz's confused expression, Hu Wei nodded at the table and said, "I'll show you the way."

"Xie Hu Shangshu." Nikolaos hurriedly thanked him.

Hu Yan said seriously: "Look more at the residence newspaper, it has everything on it."

Nikolaoz said with a look of despair: "I'm also reading the Dibao, but I can't see anything."

Hu Yile said, "Then read it a few more times."

It was already past noon when Hu Wei came out of the Huitong hall, he walked slowly towards the martial arts hall, and Liu Ji followed Hu Wei's footsteps.

"Hu Shangshu, why didn't you tell him?" Liu Ji asked with an attitude of seeking knowledge.

Hu Wei shook his head and said, "Your Majesty said that the barbarians are wolves that are unfamiliar to the pack. Besides, even if you tell him that he doesn't put himself in Daming's shoes, he won't understand."

"I don't understand even if I say it, it's better not to say it."

Liu Ji kept nodding his head and said, "I would like to be taught."

After Liu Ji finished compiling "Jingtai Huanyu Tongzhi", he returned to the Hanlin Academy, and became an official in the court and became a seven-rank rite, which can be regarded as an official official.

For the past year, Liu Ji has been following Hu Wei, and what he wants to learn most is Hu Shangshu's lack of virtue.

Liu Ji is an immoral person that Hu Yan has been looking for for a long time.

Hu Wei's immorality was repeatedly forced by the government, while Liu Ji's immorality was born.

Liu Ji looked at Hu Wei who was striding like flying, and could only praise Hu Shangshu for his good health.

He took a few steps and asked: "Hu Shangshu, there will be a salt and iron meeting in the martial arts hall, is Hu Shangshu going?"

"Go, you go too." Naturally, Hu Wei wanted to attend the Salt and Iron Conference, otherwise the etiquette would become an inconvenience, and the etiquette would become a stumbling block hindering the progress of Ming Dynasty, so the etiquette is still necessary?
Liu Ji recalled the recent events in Beijing, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, except for court meetings and court meetings, has been hiding from the courtiers. Thanks to the birth of the Fifth Prince, His Royal Highness was relieved for a while. Tone."

"It is said that His Royal Highness Prince Xiang has not returned to Prince Xiang's Mansion these days, and has been staying in the Imperial Study."

Zhu Zhanqian didn’t go back to Prince Xiang’s Mansion because he couldn’t go back. The clan of Daming lived in Shiwang’s Mansion of Qingfang. Once the conquest system came out, the clan of Daming kept coming to Prince Xiang’s mansion. Can't go back.

Even Zhu Zhanqian's three sons looked coldly at Zhu Zhanqian, with deep resentment.

Some people want to reduce their treatment and gain freedom, while others just want to eat and die.

Hu Wei said with a little emotion: "His Royal Highness, it is not easy."

When Hu Wei and Liu Ji arrived at the Juxian Pavilion in the lecture hall, they sat for a while and waited for King Xiang.

Zhu Zhanqian sat on the second seat and said: "There is no need to be too polite, there is only one topic for today, the monopoly of the theory of sharp handles."

"I think the imperial court controls at least [-]% or more of the four categories of firewood, rice, oil, and salt to prevent merchants from driving up prices and causing people's livelihood to wither."

　This chapter has a lot of discussion, but it also needs to explain some of the emperor's behavior. The writing is a bit lengthy. Readers, gentlemen, please bear with me and ask for a monthly ticket, woo! ! !
