I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 788 You could have been a pillar of talent

"What's more, what he draws is not just as simple as two layers.

As far as I know, the soldiers and horses under the Nanjing garrison have never been full, and some barracks even only have about [-] to [-]% of the actual number of people, but they have always paid military expenses according to the full staff. They all fell into the hands of Ma Dazhong and his gang! "

Yang Suwen hadn't been an official for long, so he didn't know much about these twists and turns in the court.

Hearing this, he was startled and stood up abruptly, exclaiming,
"It's true, so the Nanjing garrison is mostly empty shells!

But this is impossible. The 10,000+ army in Nanjing is not all managed by him, a defensive eunuch.

The Nanjing Ministry of War also has the authority to manage it. It is possible that Zhang Yiliang, the minister of the Nanjing Ministry of War, is also corrupt and accepting bribes just like him. "

Liu Bian shook his head, smiled and said,
"Zhang Yiliang is still a good and honest official, but he can't stop the people under him from wanting to make a fortune with Ma Dazhong and his like.

When you were Zhang Yiliang, why were you charged and escorted to Beijing?

If Ma Dazhong and others hadn't been secretly instigating this, do you really think that a majestic Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing would be so easily overthrown? "

Hearing this, Yang Suwen's back was covered with cold sweat.

But he still forced himself to calm down, and then asked,
"Brother Liu, what do you mean by telling me this? His Majesty has released Zhang Yiliang back to Nanjing, and has also arranged for a new guard eunuch. Could it be that Ma Dazhong's control over Nanjing cannot be curbed?"

Liu Bian chuckled, looking at Yang Suwen as if looking at an innocent child,
"You, you are really naive. If you can change anything by just replacing an official, then there would be no such corrupt officials in Ming Dynasty."

"Although Ma Dazhong stepped down from that position, his power didn't show anything. Instead, he lost his reputation as a guard eunuch, and he was able to plunder money even more recklessly."

"The reason why I told you this today is actually to tell you that the real enemy of the imperial court is not those nobles in Nanjing.

It is Ma Dazhong and his minions who are really worried about the imperial court! "

If Yang Suwen was just an ordinary person, if he didn't know much about Liu Bian's actions, maybe he would really believe Liu Bian's words.

But he knew exactly what Liu Bian had done, and he also knew who the real boss behind him was.

But he didn't show any doubts in his heart, instead he planned to follow Liu Bian's words and continue.

The reason why he did this was actually a last resort.

For the imperial court, it doesn't matter if it's the nobles with a lot of wealth in Nanjing, or Ma Dazhong and his minions.

In fact, they can all be regarded as parasites growing in the blood vessels of the Ming court.

Since Liu Bian wanted to help the court solve Ma Dazhong's scourge, Yang Suwen happily watched them dog-eat-dog in secret.

After thinking for a while and weighing the pros and cons, Yang Suwen asked calmly,

"When you say that, do you mean that you want to help the imperial court completely eradicate Ma Dazhong's stubborn disease?"

Liu Bian snapped his fingers, and then said with a teachable expression,
"You guessed right, I do have this plan!"

After finishing speaking, he seemed to have remembered something, and continued with a regretful expression,
"Actually, whether it's those nobles or Ma Dazhong who doesn't deal with them, it doesn't make any difference to me. I can't tell who I am helping to get rid of whom."

"I just enjoy the exhilaration of fighting among various forces."

"You and I are actually the same kind of person, it's just that you haven't reached my current state yet.

One day when you really reach my level, you will know how wonderful this feeling is. "

Yang Suwen frowned, and said coldly,
"Maybe I'm going to disappoint you. I can never be a fellow traveler with you. At least, I won't burn so many innocent people to death in order to achieve ulterior motives."

Hearing Yang Su's question, Liu Bian's expression darkened slightly, but he didn't refute it, which was an admission of his evil deed.

Yang Suwen continued,
"Originally, with your wisdom, you could have become a pillar of the imperial court to uphold justice for the people of the world at dawn, but you chose to become a leader, those noble lackeys, and intended to push Daming into the abyss of eternal doom among.

To be honest, I'm really disappointed in you.

In this life, it is impossible for me to become a person with blood of innocent people on my hands like you. "

At this moment Liu Bian just stared blankly at Yang Suwen who had red eyes.

Once upon a time, it's not that he didn't think about it, relying on his own talent, to obtain a fame, and to do something meaningful for Daming and the common people.

But when he encountered an insurmountable gap in life, he suddenly woke up.

This world is not what I thought at all, not everything is black and white.

Corrupt officials can be greedy for money while doing practical things for the people, and honest officials can also be clean and honest while doing stupid wrong things.

He failed the three provincial examinations because of the disapproval of a so-called upright official, which made Liu Bian completely disappointed in this corrupt court.

Coupled with the influence of family hatred, he followed his own ideas to overthrow the existing imperial court and assist a person who can really change the world according to his own ideas to come to power.

From his point of view, the pain before the reform is inevitable, and bloodshed and sacrifice are also necessary. Everything he does is not for enjoyment, but to wake up this decadent country.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did. On the contrary, he thought that everything he did was justified and in line with the laws of heaven.

But when he looked at Yang Suwen's pure eyes and the question from his soul, he became a little hesitant, and he was no longer as firm and indomitable as before.

He took two steps back slightly, barely showing a smile.

"Brother Yang, don't you need to be so excited. I just gave you a proposal, as I said before, if you agree, we'll just break up.

No matter what the result is, I have to tell you that I had a great time chatting with you today, really! "

Yang Suwen was stunned when he heard this.

"What do you mean? Could it be that you really plan to help me?"

"Why not? Ma Dazhong is arrogant and brutal. I have long disliked him. Now that I have the opportunity, why don't I just get rid of him?"
