Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Retire from office!
Zhang Haogu showed with practical actions that he would not follow Zhu Youxiao's will to kill innocent people.

And Zhu Youxiao also told Zhang Haogu decisively with practical actions that there are so many people in this world. Without Zhang Haogu and Sun Chengzong, you don't want to be the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty, and some people will do it.

Some people may secretly sigh that Zhang Haogu should bear the burden of humiliation and focus on the overall situation. Now that tens of thousands of people have been sacrificed, it may be possible to build a better New Deal in the future.

But Zhang Haogu didn't want to.

He is 30 years old this year, and everything he has done and experienced in his [-]s has been wonderful enough.

Moreover, Zhang Haogu believed that the blood in his heart was not cold, but still warm.

Even after sitting in the temple for eleven years and leaving the temple, he is still that high-spirited young man in white.

A great hero should serve the country and the people, right?
If you make compromises today for the sake of the so-called overall situation, and tomorrow for the sake of the so-called overall situation, what is the overall situation?

A man should be responsible in doing things, and his family members have already made arrangements. If Zhu Youxiao really wants to exile, go to prison, or even cut off his head, he will admit it, but his family members will not be implicated in the end. , should also be able to get the news in advance and run out early.

Thinking of this, Zhang Haogu felt relieved.

"Get out, get out!" Zhu Youxiao said coldly.

Zhang Haogu looked at Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youxiao was expressionless, sitting on the dragon chair, cold, heartless, and superior.

"Caomin, thank Your Majesty Long En."

After bowing respectfully to Zhu Youxiao, Zhang Haogu left the Hall of Martial Arts alone, and then walked out of the palace indifferently.

Along the way, the eunuchs, maids, guards and generals looked at the former Chief Assistant of the Ming Dynasty in surprise, while Zhang Haogu was as calm as water.

However, in his mind, Zhang Haogu still couldn't get rid of Zhu Youxiao's high, heartless and silent expression sitting on the dragon chair.

As Zhang Haogu said, Zhu Youxiao has learned the essence of the emperor, and Zhu Youxiao has learned the culmination of the theory of emperors throughout the ages.

The destiny is selfish, and the emperor is still alone.

To be an emperor is to be ruthless, to call yourself a lonely person, to give up small righteousness and focus on the overall situation, and to be indifferent to human life.

The Son of Heaven of the Han family, even though the two emperors Wen and Jing are praised by the people and called the benevolent monarch and the Ming army, Wen Jing still governs like Yang Zi, Yang Zi is only me, and I am the world.

And even if it was Tian Khan Li Shimin, when the Xuanwumen killed brothers and brothers and forced his father to abdicate, he would not have a look of compassion, that indifference and coldness was his true expression.

And Zhu Youxiao's expression of sitting upright in the temple like a god ignoring all living beings should be the Emperor of Apocalypse who opened the prosperous age of Apocalypse, and it should be the Great Khan Naren who surrendered to Nabai from all the tribes in the grassland. What the bloodline of Emperor Zu Hongwu should look like.

Well, the sun is what it should look like, high above the sky, looking warm, but actually indifferent.

There is nothing wrong with a heart of stone. Great people are born with a heart of stone. Without a heart of stone, great things cannot be achieved.

Looking at the great achievements in history, who have left their names in history, which one does not have a heart made of iron and stone, and which interest is not able to abandon their wives and children, and kill their fathers and brothers?
When reaching the top, these great people can abandon everything that should be abandoned, and can do everything for the benefit, everything is for their own benefit, everything is for themselves, black and white are not suitable for the emperor, gray is the emperor's normal state, justice or not It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong, everything is selfish, everything is only me.

There is nothing wrong with this, this is the real emperor.

Zhang Haogu is very satisfied that he can teach such a real emperor, and he is also very glad that he is not a real big man after all, unable to disregard human life, unable to disregard black and white, and unable to kill the killer while feeling full of regrets. At the end of the day, he decisively changed his face and hurt the killer, and did not show a bodhisattva heart until the end.

All that can be done has been done, Zhang Haogu left the imperial city with a calm face, seeing Lu Xiangsheng, Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi and others waiting in front of his carriage at the gate of the imperial city, Zhang Haogu frowned: "You guys come here what?"

Without waiting for everyone to answer, Zhang Haogu said directly: "Go and do whatever you want, don't come to me, just go."

After all, Zhang Haogu got into the carriage, and he drove the carriage leisurely towards home, but he still couldn't forget Zhu Youxiao's face in his mind.

Youyou sighed, Zhang Haogu swung his whip and drove the carriage away, leaving everyone to watch the carriage leave.

"Lu Xiang." Huang Zongxi had a complicated expression and didn't know what to say.

Lu Xiangsheng has regained his composure, looked at the crowd, and waved his hands: "Everyone go do their own things, don't forget your responsibilities."

In the Hall of Martial Arts, Zhu Youxiao finally couldn't maintain his calm face, he threw the folder suddenly, and then swept everything on the imperial table, scaring everyone to kneel on the ground in fear, trembling.

After a long time, Zhu Youxiao supported the table and breathed a sigh of relief: "Zhen, I'm tired, you all step back."

When Qian Qianyi rushed to the capital, he found that the news he had heard was outdated again.

"What, the Chief Assistant has already been dismissed? Remove the Chief Assistant of the Cabinet, the University of Martial Arts Hall, and the Secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and let Sun Dushi return to Beijing?!" The astonishment on Qian Qianyi's face that had just returned home could not be added. It's only been a few days, why did the news change so quickly? !

Qian Qianyi didn't have much time to react, and soon the eunuch came to the palace and sent a message: "Mr. Qian Ge, the emperor calls you to the Hall of Martial Arts."

Qian Qianyi, who had just returned to the capital and didn't rest for a while, immediately followed the little eunuch to the palace.

After entering the Hall of Martial Heroes, Qian Qianyi saw the expressionless emperor sitting on the dragon chair, and felt an inexplicable thump in his heart. Qian Qianyi immediately knelt down: "Minister, see Your Majesty."

Zhu Youxiao nodded: "The trip to Dongying was hard work, old Qian Ge worked hard."

Qian Qianyi said hastily: "For the sake of the court, the minister is happy."

Zhu Youxiao said with some emotion: "For the sake of the court, there are not many who can sincerely work for the court now."

"Although Mr. Qian Ge has just come back, it is reasonable to let you rest for a while, but there must be someone to take care of the important affairs of the government. The burden of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials should be shouldered by Mr. Qian Ge."

Qian Qianyi was dumbfounded, Minister of the Ministry of Officials? !
Heavenly official? !
This position has always been the head of the six departments, and the power and responsibility are the most important. How could it fall on him? !

This position is valued by the new party.

Although Zhang Haogu has now been dismissed from office, the new party is still number one, occupying the positions of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households. Can they tolerate the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who is in charge of the promotion and dismissal of hundreds of officials, falling to others? !

Or, what does His Majesty think?
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, Qian Qianyi didn't want to get involved in this matter, but when he looked up and saw Zhu Youxiao's indifferent face, he still obediently thanked him: "Minister, take the order."

On the next day at the court meeting, Zhu Youjiao formally decreed that Zhang Haogu would be exempted from the positions of Chief Assistant of the Cabinet and Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Shangshu.

The new party suddenly lost the two important positions of the chief assistant of the cabinet and the secretary of the Ministry of officials. Could it be that the new party is too powerful and the emperor finally can't sit still?

All the officials didn't mention it, but when the news spread, the whole world was in an uproar!

That's Zhang Haogu, the chief assistant of the cabinet!

It is the leader of the new party who promotes new policies and new laws!
Zhang Haogu fell, can the New Deal still exist? !

All of a sudden, people all over the world were panicked. Merchants in all provinces were cast a shadow over their heads, and officials and students in the northern provinces and the Central Plains Jiangnan were also confused. Why did the emperor and the chief minister make such a big fuss? What about the contradiction?
What about the New Deal? !

What about Kaihai?
What about industrial and commercial policies, overseas trade policies, and many market policies in various places? !

The merchants were panicked, and they tried every means to inquire about the news, but they couldn't find any news from all aspects, and everyone kept silent. This made the big merchants even more flustered. Could it be that the court really wants to change the status quo? Have a policy?

The merchants finally got rid of their original identities and lived a good life for so many years. Will they be beaten back with a stick again?
The merchants really didn't have much confidence in their hearts, and each of them began to hoard gold and silver to prepare for the possible impact.

And these big businessmen and big bosses are so terrified that they start hoarding gold and silver as if there is going to be a big chaos, which naturally makes the people below even more terrified. All kinds of gossip spread, and the business people feel as if the sky is about to collapse. The land was sinking, and businessmen, big and small, sold off their properties one after another and hoarded gold and silver.

The prices of gold and silver things began to rise wildly, and at the same time, all stock futures fell in response. The industry and commerce of the entire Ming Dynasty fell into a state of decline in the blink of an eye. Businesses everywhere were depressed. It's all about to depreciate!

With such chaos, Zhu Youxiao in the imperial city naturally received news from all over the world.

An angry Zhu Youxiao rushed to the cabinet, looked at the stock prices sent by the North and South stock markets, and watched the falling stock trend, Zhu Youxiao's face was extremely gloomy: "Why did the stock market fall like this?"

Sun Chengzong, the new Chief Assistant of the Ming Dynasty, did not know enough about the stock market, industry and commerce, so he could only look at Qian Qianyi.

The current cabinet situation has changed, and only Zhang Ruitu and Lu Xiangsheng are left in the new party, while four people from the old party have the upper hand. Naturally, the two of them are unwilling to speak easily.

Qian Qianyi, who is the new Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is even more distressed. How long has Zhang Haogu, the Ministry of Officials, been there?
It's full of officials from the new party, so what's the use of him being a secretary from the old party?

Now before we have time to sort out the issue of the bureaucracy, the stock market has collapsed, industries and businesses everywhere have become depressed, gold and silver prices have skyrocketed, and at the same time, businessmen have begun to sell stocks on a large scale. It looks like the price is about to collapse and the world is in chaos. How can he do it? manage?
Now that Zhu Youxiao asked, Sun Chengzong didn't know the situation, so Qian Qianyi could only say: "Return to Your Majesty, the merchants are probably worried about the future of the New Deal."

"Nowadays, the imperial court doesn't have any announcements. The merchants are afraid that the imperial court will overthrow the New Deal, and the industrial and commercial policies will change, so they naturally shrink back."

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but sneered: "Oh?"

"I dismissed a Zhang Haogu, these businessmen are afraid of this?"

"Is the world's business in turmoil like this?"

"The Great Ming Dynasty, without him, Zhang Haogu, wouldn't it turn around?!"

"I don't care what method you use, let the common people and businessmen believe in the imperial court, the new policy will not change, and the imperial court's policies will not change, so that they can do business with peace of mind."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Youxiao left on his own, leaving several people in the cabinet staring at each other. Sun Chengzong had a dignified face, Qian Qianyi smiled wryly, Zhang Ruitu sneered, Lu Xiangsheng was expressionless, and Huang Liji and Qiao Yunsheng even pretended. As a wooden man, it is obvious that he does not intend to get involved in this matter.

And the emperor's request naturally fell on Sun Chengzong and Qian Qianyi.

Although one of these two people understands the New Deal and industry and commerce, he is not a member of the New Party. Although the other is the chief minister of the cabinet, he lacks understanding of the New Deal and new laws, and is even more confused about how industry and commerce operate. But it was impossible to stabilize the overall situation.

Factories all over the country are still closed, workers have begun to be laid off, and the working hours and wages of a large number of workers have begun to decrease. Major chambers of commerce and enterprises have also begun to reduce their operating hours and reduce expenses. Trade in various parts of the country has begun to shrink. At the same time, those big businessmen began to sell stocks to collect funds. Obviously, they also know that only money is real, and stocks are fake.

These big businessmen are selling stocks, no matter how much the court issued a notice saying that the new policy and the new law will not change, the people still follow the businessmen and start selling stocks. I don’t know how many factories have declared bankruptcy and stopped production, and I don’t know how many businessmen have been injured. His muscles were broken and even his family went bankrupt.

When all kinds of news were gathered to the cabinet, the industry and commerce in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huguang, and the north had already been hit hard. The violent turmoil in the stock market was only one side, and the stagnation or even regression of industry and commerce in various places was the most critical issue.

There was obviously a problem with the trust of businessmen and common people in the imperial court. The economy of Ming Dynasty was in turmoil, the market was in turmoil, and the people of the world were in panic.

The annoyed Zhu Youxiao wanted to relax in the Royal Garden. Queen Zhang Yan came to persuade him, but Zhu Youxiao stopped him.

"I know what the queen is going to say, so I don't need to say these words anymore."

"It is true that Zhang Haogu promoted the new policies and new laws, but without me, can he promote them?"

"This world belongs to me after all. I don't believe that without Zhang Haogu, my world will collapse tomorrow! Now I understand that a single Zhang Haogu can cause chaos in the world. This new party really needs to be rectified. Otherwise, when the time comes, will the world have the final say or the new party will have the final say?"

Obviously Zhu Youxiao knows the situation in various places, but he thinks he can get through this hurdle.

He is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the central Ming Dynasty, the emperor who created the prosperous age of the apocalypse. He is the most important thing. Whether it is the other civil officials such as Zhang Haogu and Lu Xiangsheng, or the military generals such as Cao Wenzhao and Huang Degong, they can do things without themselves. ? !

The emperor will not be short of talents. Without Zhang Haogu, he can still govern the world. Maybe the world will become better!

Now that the New Party is powerful, Zhu Youxiao has long wanted to beat the New Party, it’s just Zhang Haogu, the New Party is still there, and he can just directly direct the New Party to do things. With the foundation of the New Party that spreads all over the towns, I’m afraid I can’t handle this point situation?
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao stubbornly asked the cabinet to quickly resolve the riots in various places in Ming Dynasty, including business closures, factory shutdowns, workers losing their jobs, economic turmoil in various places, and so on.

On the one hand, Zhu Youxiao asked the cabinet to solve the problem. On the other hand, he repeatedly summoned people from the New Party to appease the local area quickly. This made the people in the New Party quite dissatisfied and uneasy. Can they solve this?

But Zhu Youxiao didn't care about it. After all, he thought it was the problem of his courtiers that things couldn't be done. Could it be the problem of himself, the emperor?

Finally, under Zhu Youxiao's repeated persecution, Zhang Ruitu, Lu Xiangsheng and other members of the new party arrived at Zhang Haogu's house late at night after several internal meetings.

Seeing Zhang Ruitu, Lu Xiangsheng, Cui Chengxiu, Sun Qifeng, Zhu Shunshui, Huang Zongxi, Gu Yanwu and others running to his home, Zhang Haogu frowned: "Why are you here?"

"I'm already a grassroots person. Aren't you coming here to cause me trouble?"

Zhang Ruitu sneered: "We don't want to do that either, but we can't protect ourselves now. Your Majesty, hehe, Your Majesty doesn't know what to think."

Lu Xiangsheng looked at Zhang Ruitu and sighed deeply: "You must be aware of the turmoil in various places. The industrial and commercial turmoil lasted only a few hours. Stocks plummeted. People from all walks of life were going bankrupt. Countless workers were laid off. Businesses were sluggish. The officials are also panicked, and no one knows what His Majesty is thinking."

"Now, not only the officials, but also the new army are panicked."

Huang Zongxi said: "In the final analysis, whether it is the new party or the new army, you are responsible for it. It is you who promote the new policy, establish new laws, and run the new army. The officials in the northern central plains and Jiangnan are all from my Datong Academy. They are all the so-called New Party; everyone in the New Army is also considered to be the New Party.”

"Now that you, the leader of the new party, have been dismissed as the prime minister of the cabinet, everyone is naturally terrified, thinking that the court is about to change, and it's no wonder the businessmen are hesitant."

Gu Yanwu said very directly: "The world is not a world of one person, but a world of people in the world. You bluntly said that the Shangzuo is for the common people in the world. How can the emperor add these ridiculous things to a ridiculous person!"

Zhang Haogu frowned and said: "Can you say this? How about respect for His Majesty?"

Cui Chengxiu couldn't help but said: "Shoufu, Duke Ming! Don't you understand?"

"Your Majesty's attack on those tens of thousands of people is to test you and us!"

"The new party is powerful. Your Majesty is looking for an excuse to attack you. As for the new party, we are now on the neck with a knife."

"What exactly do you want to do?" Zhang Haogu couldn't help asking.

Huang Zongxi asked rhetorically: "Aren't you afraid? Is this world the world of the people of the world, or the world of one family and one surname? Today, for a reason, your Majesty can demand 50 yuan for the majesty of the royal family. The lives of the people, can't tomorrow abolish the New Deal for the royal family and his world, and make me wait for many years of hard work to go to waste?"

"Today's matter, we are not only for ourselves, but also for the common people in the world. We can't let His Majesty continue to be so wrong!"
