Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 267 I, Zhang Haogu, only have a public heart and no selfishness!
"Old Ye, if you want to leave, I will naturally send you off. To be honest, if it weren't for you, Old Ye, the court's new policy might not be able to last!"

Zhang Haogu looked at Ye Xianggao with a smile on his face: "Although you and I say that you have different political views, but, Lao Ye, you are still a good person. At the very least, you have done your best work!"

While talking, Zhang Haogu poured Ye Xianggao a cup of tea, and said with a smile, "What are you going to do when you go home?"

"Let's teach and educate people!" Ye Xianggao took the teacup and said, "Now that I'm old, after returning to my hometown, I just want to spend my old age in peace. Let these sons who are worthless let them keep their own place!"

"Teaching and educating people is very good, but, Lao Ye, you still have to restrain your son well!" Zhang Haogu smiled and said: "Don't fight against the national law, how many pairs of eyes are staring at you!"

"This old man knows how to restrain himself!" Ye Xianggao nodded, "It's just that, Baorui, you should take care of yourself!"

"Naturally!" Zhang Haogu nodded.

Then, the two sides entered into a long silence.

"Baorui!"

After a long time, Ye Xianggao said slowly, "I also have a question!"

"But it doesn't matter!" Zhang Haogu said with a smile.

"What do you think of Zhang Juzheng?"

Ye Xianggao pondered for a moment, and then said straightforwardly: "In the past, Zhang Juzheng was just like you, Baorui, presiding over reforms and implementing new policies, but in the end, what happened?"

Zhang Haogu pondered for a while, and said: "Mr. Zhang is eternal!"

"After his death, which one of his descendants will have a good end? He implemented the New Deal and offended too many people. How many people wished to eat his flesh alive. After his death, he was almost flogged to death. The two sons One starved to death, Baory!"

Ye Xianggao looked at Zhang Haogu with scorching eyes: "You seem to be majestic now, implementing the New Deal and increasing the income of the court, but you are not much worse than Zhang Juzheng back then. You offended not only us The Donglin Party, the Qi Party, the Chu Party, and the Zhejiang Party, if you divide the land into acres, whose land are you dividing up? Whose land are you dividing up?"

"Now the emperor supports you, but he is still the emperor after all, Baorui, if the emperor was poisoned by Zhu Guozhen last time, what will happen to you now?"

Zhang Haogu was silent instead, he glanced at Ye Xianggao, but he didn't know what to say.

You can't say that you will either rebel, or use Zhu Youjian's age as an excuse to govern in person, and directly monopolize the power, right?

Of course, if it really comes to that time.

Ye Xianggao and his group, one counts as the other, are all targeted by Zhang Haogu.

The battle of Guangning will also be detonated in advance by Zhang Haogu.

Take Zhu Youjian to control the court, and in the next three to five years, I have soldiers and food in my hands. At that time, it will not be a problem to beat the Jurchens in the Northern Expedition or go south to eliminate these big landlords.

Sitting still is not his style.

Ye Xianggao didn't know what was going on in Zhang Haogu's mind. He paused and continued: "Baorui, you are not the only smart person in the Ming Dynasty. It's not that they can't see the court's shortcomings, but what will happen?"

"The new policy is to offend people. Maybe you are living like a sun, maybe the emperor supports you now, but what about the future?"

"Lao Ye, what you said is not bad!" Zhang Haogu smiled and continued, "It's just that I can't bear it!"

"Can't bear it?" Ye Xianggao was slightly taken aback.

"I can't bear to see the people who are waiting to be fed. I can't bear to see a disaster. They will sell their sons and daughters. I can't bear to see them freezing to death in the snow!"

Zhang Haogu looked up at Ye Xianggao: "Because my conscience does not allow me to do this. After a disaster, the people lost their land, and a white flour steamed bun can be exchanged for an acre of land. Excuse me, is this reasonable? It's unreasonable." , why are you hungry, why are they freezing to death in the snow?"

Ye Xianggao took a deep breath.

Zhang Haogu said: "It's the old men of the court. They hold a lot of land and don't pay taxes. They are aloof and abuse any common people at will. Is this right? You keep saying, for the sake of the world, for the world Common people, but what kind of life will the common people live in this world?"

"Lao Ye, do you think you are miserable? You can still go home to teach, you still have your own reputation, you go to teach and educate people, there are still gentlemen who are willing to give you money, and then continue the imperial examination, continue to be an official, continue to go Oppressing the people, but what about the people who starved to death? They will never be able to make a sound, is this fair? Is this reasonable?"

At this moment, Zhang Haogu also poured out all the emotions accumulated in his heart.

Although he is a political enemy, Zhang Haogu really has the urge to confide all his ideas and political ambitions.

"No one is born mean, and no one should bear this injustice!"

Zhang Haogu looked at Ye Xianggao, and said: "Of course I can learn from you, and I can also protect my life wisely and be like the light, but I'm sorry, I can't do it, the people in the world are displaced, because of what, because of you, you are greedy, you Beat the bone and suck the marrow, and then you have to touch your lips gracefully and say bah, scumbag!"

"Who are the real scumbags? It's you, you sluts who keep saying they are for the sake of the world!"

"I, Zhang Haogu, have never considered my fame before and after my life. If I really cared about these things, I would not insist on the New Deal. Now I have offended the gentry, the nobles, and you Donglin Party , but, so what? I have gone all the way to the dark!"

Ye Xianggao was silent, and for a moment, he felt that his prudence and self-preservation were so ridiculous, as if he had such ideals and ambitions when he was young.

It's just that at my age, I actually fed all my original ideals to the dogs.

"I am very old, and I have no selfish intentions. I don't want to be famous in history, nor do I want to be wealthy and grandchildren. I only have a public heart. The country, the country, and the people of the world!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Haogu smiled: "Lao Ye, you don't have to worry about me, don't worry, I will be more despicable, shameless, and cruel than you, because I know that what I did was right , the victors in the past were you, you can say unscrupulously, only the wise and the foolish are unshakable, and I will pick you out one by one and nail them to this shameful pillar, and tell everyone in the future Look, they are moths, corrupt officials, and dog officials!"

"I, Zhang Haogu, only have a public heart and no selfishness!"
