Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

"The Laoqing family is indispensable for the stability and prosperity of the Liao land today." Emperor Chongzhen looked emotionally, looking at Sun Chengzong who left Liao and returned to Beijing, "If there is no Lao Qing family guarding the Liao land, I am afraid that the imperial court will It is absolutely unrealistic to recover the lost land and suppress the Jianlu rebellion."

"The changes in Liao land today are definitely not due to the merits of veteran officials."

Sun Chengzong bowed slightly and said: "The old minister went to Liao to guard again, it was all based on His Majesty's will, and the deployment revolved around the pan-Liaodong strategy.

In the past, in the heart of the veteran, he did not understand some of His Majesty's decisions and arrangements. He felt that if Guochao really did this, it might bring many hidden dangers.

But let the old minister never think of it.

With the gradual implementation of the pan-Liaodong strategy, not only did the Liao army under the jurisdiction of the state gain a firm foothold in front of Liao, but also allowed the Jianlu to be continuously reduced under the confrontation. This is how Liaodong is today. "

Emperor Chongzhen certainly knew what Sun Chengzong was talking about.

One is that Li Zicheng went to Liao.

One is to set up industries in Liao.

No matter which decision it is, the Liao land in that period undoubtedly took great risks. Once there is a trend of getting out of control, it will cause inestimable losses.

But from the perspective of Emperor Chongzhen, although these decisions were a bit risky, they were undoubtedly the best choice for Daming at that time.

"What happened in the past, let him go."

Emperor Chongzhen restrained his mind, smiled slightly and said: "Everyone has to look forward, and now the two provinces of Liao and Di are reborn, this is the best result.

Of course, there is still a long way to go in Liao and other provinces.

If you want to ensure the stability of the northeast border of the Ming Dynasty, you must develop vigorously. I believe that Sun Yuanhua, Shen Fu and other good ministers will definitely bring about changes in Liao. "

Gradually remove personal influence at the local level. This is something that Emperor Chongzhen has been paying attention to. To clarify the term of office, change the official system, and streamline the administration. occur.

The official system of the Ming Dynasty must be further refined to ensure that the Ming Dynasty can adapt and adjust faster as it embarks on a new journey.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has always had a question."

Sun Chengzong hesitated for a moment, bowed to Emperor Chongzhen and said: "What kind of changes will the Ming Dynasty achieve in the future, so that it can be regarded as the reform reform proposed by His Majesty?"

Under the influence of Emperor Chongzhen, as a group of shackles were completely broken, this actually caused great controversy and influence among the Ming Dynasty.

Even in Liaodong, before Sun Chengzong stepped down as the governor of Liaodong, a group of officials from the Reformation faction had their own opinions and differences on various decisions in the court.

What kind of path Daming will take is something that many people are thinking about.

"Actually, I don't know how to answer this sentence from Lao Qing's family."

Emperor Chongzhen thought for a while, with a sad expression on his face, "In my heart, Daming wants to take a 'new' route, but this new, how to define it, involves too many levels.

The new Ming Dynasty I think of should be an era of Qingping, domineering externally, and domineering internally. This is destined to require two different systems to take root in the mainland of Daming and overseas of Daming.

Just like in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, I hope to continue to promote the development of the industrial field, so that the people under the Ming Dynasty can live a prosperous life, so that the privileges are limited within a framework, the land mergers are effectively curbed, and the bottom people can see hope.

All kinds of unreasonable things in the past are the breeding grounds for maladministration and malignant tumors, which have also brought a lot of troubles to the country and caused great passiveness. "

new.

This is a very broad term, but after listening to what Emperor Chongzhen said, Sun Chengzong felt emotional in his heart.

There were indeed many problems in the Ming Dynasty in the past.

It was precisely these maladministration and malignant tumors that caused Daming to not have enough strength and background to face these problems calmly when he encountered some problems.

"Your Majesty, will the Reformation continue to advance?"

Sun Chengzong restrained his mind and asked again: "According to the experience of the veteran in Liao, if you want to achieve the plan that your majesty said, it may not be possible to gradually realize it in 10 or 20 years.

This will inevitably need to go through a long period of time, to move forward in different periods, and to solve the problems that need to be faced in each period. "

"The reform is a national policy, and it is something that Ming will implement in the future."

Emperor Chongzhen said arrogantly: "Even if I'm no longer here one day, the reformation must continue to move forward.

This is not a national policy that must be abandoned after persisting for 10 years or 20 years, but a matter of moving forward with Ming Dynasty for a long time.

Why did the New Deals of the past dynasties have people dying?

I have thought about this question more than once.

The root cause lies in the policy heirs.

If the New Deal can change various fields, it can also have a deeper influence on thinking, and in the process of continuously implementing the New Deal, Jane will pull up a batch of capable officials.

Then even if a group of old people resign or die, there will be a new generation who will stand on their side and effectively deepen and promote the reform. "

The reform is not a political slogan, but something that must be done in a down-to-earth manner. Emperor Chongzhen knows better than anyone else that even if the process of reform is continued, there will inevitably be a group of people in the process. Criticism of groups of reformist origin will eventually become a stumbling block preventing the deepening of reforms.

the reason is simple.

Benefits can change a person.

Once such fetters appear, no matter how good the previous work was, objections and questions will be raised in the later stage, and further deepening of reforms will be blocked.

Therefore, it is better to cultivate a talent echelon and establish a rigorous system than to implement several new policies.

"Daming is in a new era, and we are in a new era. If we want to make real changes, we must keep moving forward."

Emperor Chongzhen felt a little emotional, "The changes that Daming has now, of course, are quite a lot compared to before.

But in my heart, it is still far from enough.

Daming, there is still a long way to go. If you start to be complacent and complacent because of some small achievements, then those achievements in the past will eventually be consumed.

After all, it’s not that Daming in the past has never experienced a prosperous age, but this prosperous age is too short in my eyes. I want Da Ming to always be in a prosperous age, and this is the real prosperous age. "
