Daming: My brother-in-law is Zhu Youxiao

Chapter 150 It turned out that he was deceiving the emperor, and the emperor's teacher was beaten so badly!

At this moment, Sun Chengzong felt as if someone had slapped his face severely, and felt his face was very hot.

He didn't expect that Gui Yingzhuo, a Qingliu official who threatened to die with great fanfare, was afraid of death in the end and refused to die!
Fortunately, he also said in front of his emperor's students that this Gui Yingzhuo is a rare and admonishing minister, and he will be the best candidate to take charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the future.

But now, who would have thought that Gui Yingzhuo, who threatened to die, would be a person who is afraid of death and has no principles.

How can Sun Chengzong not face pain?
He even began to worry that his emperor's students would no longer believe his words so much.

However, what Sun Chengzong also had to admit was that Gui Yingzhuo was really disappointing. Since he didn't have the guts to remonstrate, why bother playing like this? What's the difference between playing like this and a gambler?
If His Majesty was really intimidated, he would have to keep his life alive in the end, but as it is now, His Majesty is not so easy to fool, wouldn't he lose his life in vain?It will also make His Majesty even more unwilling to trust these clear streams of himself!
"It's so frustrating!"

Sun Chengzong slandered.

Then, Sun Chengzong replied to Tianqi: "Your Majesty, I have to admit now that not everyone is a real Hai Rui, and the person who erected the memorial arch is not necessarily a real chaste woman."

Tian Qi smiled and nodded: "Mr. is right!"

"Your Majesty, I also believe that the one who barks the loudest is often the one who sells dog skin plaster. Now Gui Yingzhuo has proved this point again."

Zhang Gui also said at this time.

But Sun Chengzong didn't want Tianqi to be completely disappointed in Qingliu because of this, so he still said: "Your Majesty, although Gui Yingzhuo is cunning and hypocritical, and is not a loyal minister, not all my Qingliu civil servants are like this. For example, Wu Xing, I have talked with him , I have also exchanged letters, this person is loyal to the emperor and loves the people, and has outstanding talents, His Majesty will see it with his own eyes when he visits Yongcheng in the south."

After Tianqi heard this, he said, "I would like to believe what you said. My imperial ministers are all capable ministers and officials. Even if they are demoted to local officials, they can still achieve outstanding achievements! I really don't want to be disappointed."

"No! Don't worry, Your Majesty. It's not just those who are valued by Uncle Zhang Guo are reliable."

Sun Chengzong replied.

Zhang Gui just smiled slightly.

In a few days, Tianqi officially set off for the southern tour.

Zhang Gui, Sun Chengzong and other civil and military retinues.

As soon as he left the capital, especially after leaving Zhangjiawan, Tongzhou, Tianqi discovered that the living conditions of the people at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty were even worse than he had imagined.

Seeing the piles of bones piled up like firewood near the official road, and the refugees who staggered northward along the canal stretching for miles, Tianqi felt quite heavy.

"No wonder they don't want me to go out to tour the south of Beijing. It's because they are afraid that I will see what the real Daming looks like."

Tian Qi couldn't help saying something in the chariot.

Yuan Keli, who was in the same retinue, said: "Your Majesty, if it wasn't because you issued an edict and didn't notify the local officials to welcome you, I'm afraid you wouldn't see these things, you would only see that everyone has clothes to wear, and their faces are ruddy, Long live the mountain call; this is now His Majesty's decree that he is not allowed to notify the place, so they didn't have time to clear the road before they could see such a scene."

After hearing this, Tianqi asked Sun Chengzong: "Is this really the case?"

Sun Chengzong nodded.

After hearing this, Tian Qi sighed, "It's my fault!"

"Your Majesty has only been on the throne for six years, and the people's livelihood in the world has declined to such an extent, it is not objective to count it only on Your Majesty."

At this moment, Zhang Gui gave a word of comfort.

Sun Chengzong also comforted him and said: "Uncle Guo is right. Your Majesty does not need to blame yourself too much. As long as your Majesty is a good minister and a humble person, the Ming Dynasty will be prosperous."

"Who is a virtuous minister and who is a villain?"

Tian Qi nodded, and then deliberately asked this question.

Sun Chengzong said: "A man like Wu Xing is a good minister!"

"Your Majesty is determined to innovate and has the heart to rule. Therefore, I have carefully thought about what kind of new policy the world should implement. Based on my humble opinion, I may send many Hanlin officials to experience in places to understand the people's sentiments, and then to be capable. If the officialdom is upright, I will be able to sort out the current problems for His Majesty!"

Qian Longxi followed suit and said, "It's true, as Grandpa Sun said, Your Majesty, Wu Xingneng's reputation spread far and wide for governing a county. It can be seen that his ability is not comparable to that of an official!"

"That's right! Your Majesty doesn't need to be too sad. These places were starved to death because of the ineffective governance of local officials. Maybe when we go to Yongcheng, we will be able to see what great governance is!"

Zhou Yingqiu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, also followed suit.

Seeing these civil servants bragging about Wu Xing so much, Zhang Gui couldn't help but give a blank look.

Is Wu Xing really that good?

Is it really possible to moisten things in a subtle and silent manner, and carry out the New Deal so that everyone has no complaints?
I only know that the New Deal is a political reform, a reform!
And reform means harming the interests of some people, and harming the interests of some people is not a treat, and the party that is sacrificed cannot willingly give up the benefits, unless the party that is sacrificed is the weaker party!
Seeing Zhang Gui's disdainful face, Sun Chengzong couldn't help asking: "Why, Uncle Guo doesn't want to believe that Wu Xing is really a good minister?"

"I still say the same thing. Most of the people who shout loudly in the market are selling dog skin plasters."

Zhang Gui replied.

"Uncle Guo, you can't generalize. Do you mean that Wu Xing, like Xia Yunyi, must use cruel officials and kill people to carry out the New Deal? , so that the New Deal can be carried out without hurting people's harmony?"

Qian Longxi also asked.

Zhang Gui nodded: "That's right, I really don't believe that all the gentry will willingly cooperate with the court's new policy."

"Uncle Guo still has deep prejudices against our scholar-bureaucrats!"

Seeing this, Sun Chengzong sighed, and said: "At the beginning of human beings, nature is good. What's more, the gentry are all scholars. As long as they are educated with loyalty, integrity and shame, they may not understand the difficulties of the court. They must implement the New Deal without complaints. , is not a problem, the first thing is that an official must be close to the people and govern with virtue."

"What Sun Gong said is absolutely true!"

Qian Longxi also agreed.

These civil servants do believe more in the rule of morality.

Sun Chengzong is not alone.

Sun Chengzong also continued to teach in front of the emperor at this time: "Your Majesty, Wu Xing also told the minister in the letter that after he arrived in Yongcheng, he first promoted moral education, advocated the establishment of schools, and then made the scholars and the people understand etiquette. , I knew he was doing the right thing. Now it seems that he was able to make the Yongcheng government smooth and harmonious, so that when the new policy was implemented, there would be no voice of public complaints, all because of this!"

Qian Longxi interrupted at this time with a look of contempt: "It's not like Xia Yunyi in Suizhou, who didn't first rule by virtue and honor the corporals, but directly enforced the New Deal, ordered the gentry to be like the head of Guizhou, and even wantonly treated the gentry with severe punishments. , How can this win the hearts of the people? Even if the New Deal is implemented because of this, it must be that the people's livelihood in Suizhou New Deal is withered, like a pool of stagnant water!"

Tian Qi only squinted his eyes, letting the civil servants in front of him chatter.

As a technical geek, he cares more about the results he actually sees whether something is worth trusting or not.

On this day, Tian Qi and his party finally arrived at Guide Mansion.

What Tianqi didn't expect was that once he entered the Guide Mansion, there were more refugees.

Especially when a luxury convoy like his passed by, many people begging and selling their sons and daughters flocked over, hoping that these dignitaries would show mercy once.

Seeing this, Tianqi asked Wei Zhongxian to summon an elderly refugee: "Old man, where are you from?"

The refugee lowered his head and replied: "My lord, the grass people are from Suizhou."

"From Suizhou?"

Tian Qi was a little startled, and asked, "Are you all from Suizhou?"

The few refugees who followed all agreed in a small voice: "Yes!"

Zhang Gui was quite surprised after hearing this: "How is this possible?"

At this time, Qian Longxi first laughed happily: "It seems that Xia Zhizhou, who has been praised by Uncle Guo, is not good at governing the people!"

As he said that, Qian Longxi gave a wink to a retinue officer, and the officer said immediately: "Your Majesty, I want to join Xia Zhizhou! And Uncle Guo concealed the report and deceived the emperor!"

"Uncle Guo may have been deceived by Xia Zhizhou, but he won't really want to deceive the king."

Sun Chengzong said a good word for Zhang Gui, and said: "But Xia Yunyi should have indeed done something to deceive the emperor."

At this time, Tian Qi also felt a little uncomfortable.

Zhang Gui said to Tian Qi: "Your Majesty, please let me say a few words to them."

Apocalypse nodded.

"Since you are from Suizhou, come with us, we will take you back to Suizhou!"

Zhang Gui replied at this time.

At this time, the oldest refugee hurriedly knelt down: "My lord, please spare me! We are not from Suizhou, you take us to Suizhou, we can't survive!"

"Aren't you from Suizhou?"

Tian Qi asked in surprise after hearing this.

At this time, another first-class citizen replied: "Yes! We are actually from Yongcheng, and we were forced to leave our hometown and go into exile by that dog official Wu Xing!"
