Chapter 590 Legendary Road
In Guozijian, although Yang Reform spoke directly to the Kong family, he never got any promises from the Kong family, and they were all nonsense without any substance.

Yang Reform was very depressed, but it wasn't all fruitless. At least he knew that the Confucius family really cared about this new interpretation of Confucian characters, but they were still putting on airs and making decisions.

Coming out of the Guozijian, even though there were still shouts of long live on both sides of the street, Yang Reform still couldn't get rid of the depression in his heart.Do you take the Kong family too seriously?Are you too convinced that these corrupt ruling classes are determined to improve themselves?Should I sweep them into the trash?Instead of treating them as guests?

After returning to the Qianqing Palace, Yang Reform sat at the core of the world, and gradually let go of his depression. Judging from today's situation, he can't pin his hopes on the Confucian family, nor can he rely on Confucianism. Can self-improvement.What should I do, still have to do.As for the matter of the Kong family, it can only come to an end for the time being, but it cannot seal off the way of cooperation with the Kong family.

Yang Reform made up his mind and began to think about his original path.

The teacher is just around the corner, and the prisoner is just around the corner. This great victory is a good opportunity that I have never had before. It can help me do a lot of things. The best thing is to retire and change careers. Yang Reform Although I have always wanted to make good arrangements for the retirement and transfer of officers and soldiers, but to be honest, I have never had a chance. It is undoubtedly difficult to give a piece of meat to the general. Yang Reform tried to tell the story several times, but he always felt that he had no chance of winning, so he kept procrastinating.

Originally, Yang Reform wanted to do this last year. At that time, Mao Wenlong also won the Zhenjiang Fort victory, but this victory, Yang Reform always felt that the grade was a bit low. Using this Zhenjiang Fort victory to promote retirement and professionalism, in general , a bit far-fetched, besides Mao Wenlong and the civil servants are really not dealing with it, it is more difficult to use the Zhenjiang Fort victory to promote retirement and professionalism, and Yang Reform can only wait for the opportunity.

After Yuan Chonghuan's victory at Songshan Fort, Yang Reform felt that the opportunity had come. Yuan Chonghuan himself was a Jinshi and a civil servant. Using his personal experience to promote the matter of retiring and changing careers, the chances of success are quite high. At that time, Yang Reform was preparing for this matter.

Unexpectedly, Sun Chengzong directly gave himself a bigger Sanchahe victory, smashing the Tatar camp at a very low price and beheading [-] people. Yang Reform felt that this victory would promote the professionalism and Retirement can be described as perfect. Under such a great victory, at the time of presenting captives and awarding rewards, arrange for one person to cry for the dead soldiers, comrades in arms, and veterans, to make a fuss in the atmosphere, and then force the civil servants to express their views. Even if this matter is done, Yang Reform believes that in that scene, even if someone wanted to object and scolded their mother inwardly, they would not dare to say no directly.If the voice of opposition is really too loud, and someone wants to delay, then I will arrange for people to sing some sad military songs, act in some fierce battle scenes, and interview some wounded soldiers in the mansion newspaper about their miserable lives after retiring. I believe it is so strong Under the pressure of public opinion, this matter can definitely be done for him.

Once this is done, Yang Reform believes that his prestige in the army will reach an incomparable height, and it will not be empty talk for the soldiers of the world to return to their hearts. The result of the reform may not be so perfect, but it can also ensure that the Ming Dynasty will go as it wants.

Thinking of this, Yang Reform's spirit rose again, and he recovered from the depressed mood caused by the Kong family.

Flipping through the memorial, Yang Reform frowned again.

"This Liu Yanyuan!..." Yang Reform sighed.Yang Reform has been thinking about his thoughts for the past few days.In the past few days, a lot of things will definitely happen. These things, it can be said, will directly change many things. Yang Reform is extra careful, calculating and calculating, and arranging and arranging, hoping that there will be no problems.However, his opponents were not idle, and were looking for trouble for themselves. Judging from the submitted memorial, Liu Yanyuan, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, was their target this time.

Originally, Yang Reform had already heard about Liu Yanyuan's dirty hands. However, this guy took refuge in him early. At that time, he needed someone to help him. Although he said that his hands were not very clean, he reluctantly accepted it. , I also hinted at this guy a few times, this guy has also restrained himself, and the means of making money have also changed. However, it is impossible to wipe out all the things that have been done in just one year, and some things have already been done. Once there, there will always be traces.

In his own team, he was listed as a target. Yang Reform didn't find it surprising. He had already suppressed some impeachment notes on him before, but this time, Yang Reform felt that the problem might be a bit big, and Han Yu was also making notes. Mentioning this guy in the book, Yang Reform vaguely knew that this time it might not be so easy to pass the test. In the past, he relied on delegating power to ease the conflicts with the civil servants. They also saved some face and did not tear their face. This time is obviously different. There is a decisive battle, and it may be difficult for this guy to cross the river.

Yang Reform is not afraid that Liu Yanyuan will be dragged down, but he is afraid that this critical moment will spoil his own business. To promote retirement and professionalism is undoubtedly very important to him. Ten Liu Yanyuan are not worth it. Yang Reform has to Be careful with this.There was no one in the capital to discuss, so Yang Reform could only sigh.

"Big Companion, go and call Liu Yanyuan, Shangshu of the Ministry of War." Yang Reform thought for a while, but still said.

"The servant obeys the order." Wang Chengen agreed, and went out to deliver the order.

Yang Reform sat there thinking, he still had to communicate this matter with Liu Yanyuan, so that he could be prepared, and he couldn't be impeached too badly, otherwise, his face would be badly hurt, and he would be fine. My own prestige is not a small blow, and it will also affect my career change and retirement. This is really a big problem.Yang Reform didn't want to waste such a great opportunity.

Liu Yanyuan's life has been quite refreshing recently. Recently, the Ming Dynasty has been winning battles, and each one is bigger than the other. As the Minister of the Ministry of War, he will naturally be honored. His credit is indispensable. If you add the money earned by following the emperor, That would be even better.He happily entered the Qianqing Palace.

Snapper.

"I kowtow to Your Majesty!" Liu Yanyuan kowtowed respectfully.

"Get up!" Yang Reform said, a little dull.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Liu Yanyuan got up quickly, and saw that the emperor's complexion was not very good, the happy expression was gone, and turned into a frown.

"How are you preparing for the fifth day of the new year?" Yang Reform asked. What a secret.

"Return to Your Majesty, everything is ready." Liu Yanyuan, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, thought for a while and said.

"No problem, right?" Yang Reform asked again, feeling upset.

"Return to Your Majesty, I assure you that there is no problem. If you want to exchange all the credit for the officers and soldiers and retire the soldiers after such a great victory, it should be no problem. If your Majesty thinks there is a problem, you can let some injured and disabled officers and soldiers try first. No one will embarrass these Ming heroes." Liu Yanyuan, Minister of the Ministry of War, said.

"It's best to have no problem!..." Yang Reform said depressedly. At this juncture, those opposition factions have hit hard. The matter of retiring from the army is related to the Ministry of War, and the Minister of the Ministry of War is his own. The guy doesn't live up to expectations, and now he is chosen as a target by the opposition. It doesn't matter if you beat him, but it will ruin your own affairs.

"Your Majesty, I think that from now on, His Majesty's reputation will be unparalleled. All the soldiers will be grateful for His Majesty's kindness. The morale and strength of the army will increase greatly. It will be just around the corner for us to wipe out the Eastern Captives." Liu Yanyuan saw that the emperor was gloomy and unhappy. , with a bad complexion, and said something flattering.

"..." Yang Reform didn't know what to say. Regarding the retirement, Yang Reform hoped to open a gap and create a precedent. In other words, to transform this credit into a system and miss this opportunity Well, it will be difficult to do this again, but, alas, Yang Reform feels unlucky.

"Liu Qing's family, I have heard a lot recently that someone is going to impeach you." Yang Reform thought for a long time, but he still said that it has always been Yang Reform's style to spread things out, and this time, Yang Reform did not want to Except, I don't want to keep Liu Yanyuan in the dark.

"Your Majesty, this..." Liu Yanyuan didn't know what to say. He also knew that someone had impeached him. The emperor had already warned him several times, and had helped him block it several times. Could it be that the emperor warned himself again? ?
"This time, it's probably different from the past." Yang Reform sighed, it's a big trouble for this to happen at this juncture.

"Returning to Your Majesty, this is all because someone planted a frame to frame the subject, and the subject is wronged! Your Majesty, Your Majesty must be the master for the subject!" Liu Yanyuan immediately shouted for injustice.

Yang Reform looked at Liu Yanyuan's grievances, and felt very upset. This guy came to him when he was relatively weak at the time, so he didn't have much choice. If he doesn't protect him today, it will be a big blow to his reputation and credibility. .After this guy took refuge in the imperial party, he was quite attentive when he was an emperor, and he did a lot of things for himself. Unexpectedly, something went wrong. At this critical point, Yang Reform regretted it a bit. He should not have let him enter easily. The imperial party, now I regret it.

"Your Majesty, I was really wronged. Since I followed Your Majesty, I have never done what I did before. I know that Your Majesty can't rub the sand in his eyes. I have changed. Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Liu Yanyuan looked at it. Seeing that the emperor's complexion is not good, it is estimated that this time the matter is relatively serious, and there is probably a problem, so he immediately asked for help loudly. He is a good minister of the Ministry of War, and the credit will be automatically obtained, and the money will be automatically obtained. Life can be better. It couldn't be better, but unfortunately, I prefer that life is not long-term. Someone wants to mess with him. Liu Yanyuan regretted it. If he had met the emperor earlier, he would not have done those dirty things. Now, it has become a stain that can never be washed away. Being used to attack him, he could only beg for mercy repeatedly, bluntly saying that he had never done anything bad since he became an imperial party, and hoped that the emperor would save him.

"Huh... I know what the Qing family said, and I will try my best to protect you. However, the situation this time may be different from the past. It is not as simple as just a few impeachment notes, and there may be more With a lot of tricks, I believe that the Qing family will be innocent after becoming an imperial party, but what happened before that..." Yang Reform said.

"Your Majesty..." Liu Yanyuan became depressed. Some people just can't see themselves living a good life. This good life has only passed a few days, so they handed themselves a knife. This is over, his good life is over, and he still wants to follow The emperor has left his name in history, now it seems that it is blown, those damned ones will be hacked into pieces.

"...This time, I will try my best to protect you, but if those people come up with solid evidence, I can't say that I will definitely be able to protect you. The Qing family must be mentally prepared..." Yang Reform said, looking at you. Liu Yanyuan, who had a dejected face, and Yang Reform were also a little dejected. He actually underestimated those people, and this move can be regarded as defeating his own army.

"I understand, thank you, Your Majesty, Long En..." Looking at the emperor's face, Liu Yanyuan's face immediately turned bitter, and even after hearing the emperor's words that he might not be able to keep it, he became completely depressed. It seems that he This time it was really over.

Yang Reform quickly thought of a solution. This incident probably happened inevitably, so he had to consider his consequences. If Liu Yanyuan's Minister of War could not do it, who would do it?I still have to find someone who I am familiar with and listens to my own words to do it, but this person must not be too incompetent, at least he must have a certain reputation in history...

If it suits your own taste, it must also suit the taste of the opposition gang... Trouble, trouble!
After a while, Yang Reform woke up from his thoughts. Seeing Liu Yanyuan who was standing aside in frustration, he had to think about this guy again. This guy's hands and feet were really not clean, and he did a lot of bad things outside, but As one of the first imperial parties to turn to him, he had to "cover" him, at least not make him too ugly.

"Liu Qing's family!" Yang Reform was no longer a novice, after thinking for a while, he already had an idea, and asked Liu Yanyuan.

"Your Majesty, the minister is here." Liu Yanyuan hunched his back and replied dejectedly.

"This time, I might not be able to keep you..." Yang Reform said.

Liu Yanyuan was very depressed.

"...May be ready to step down." Yang Reform continued.

Liu Yanyuan was even more frustrated, the emperor asked him to step down, what else could he do?

"...However, I have also planned a few ways for you, you should think about it for yourself..." Yang Reform said.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, what are those?" Liu Yanyuan regained his energy and asked quickly. The emperor has always had many ideas, and maybe he can escape this disaster.

"I will give you a promise first. I can preserve your stocks and property for you, and you don't have to go to jail..." Yang Reform said directly.

"...Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En." Liu Yanyuan said, in frustration, it was a little bit nice, but the result was not very ideal, it could only be regarded as a guarantee.

"If you just want to be a rich man in the future and don't want to go back to court, in addition to the above, I can also shelter one or two descendants of your family. In this way, although it can't be compared with the Minister of the Ministry of War, it can still protect your family. Ronghua, after you go back, you can teach your son well, and it will not be difficult for him to take care of you in the future!" Yang Reform continued.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En." At this point, Liu Yanyuan's tears came down. Although the emperor said that he could not keep him, the emperor still valued his feelings and favors. He knew about his impeachment. Since The emperor said so, and he also knew that those things he did were probably caught by others, and he probably couldn't get away with it.

"If the Qing family still wants to make a difference in this political arena and continue to want to be an official, it's not that I can't help you, but..." Yang Reform said again.Yang Reform can also see that this guy is unwilling. Now that he is the Minister of the Ministry of War, and the Ming Dynasty has won successive battles, how can he be willing to leave the position of Minister of the Ministry of War?Not to mention leaving his name in history, at least he can be regarded as a minister of the Ministry of War who has made a difference. This official is full of enthusiasm and addiction, and he will not easily say that he does not want to be an official.Yang Reform also came up with a plan. Since this guy can't stay in the capital, it's better to let him stay outside, but I don't know if he has the courage.

"Ah! Your Majesty, this...! I don't know Your Majesty..." After hearing what the emperor said, Liu Yanyuan felt a little bit of hope in his depressed heart. Sure enough, the emperor has a solution!
"Although this Kanqing family may not be able to make it through, the Qing family is not without credit. Now the victory in Sanchahe is really a rare victory. No matter what those people say, it is impossible for those people to take away your body. This credit is erased, isn't it?" Yang Reform said.

"Returning to Your Majesty, yes, yes, the servants are all thanks to His Majesty's blessing, so they can make some small contributions." Speaking of his own contributions, Liu Yanyuan has some hope again, yes!Although the bottom of his butt was not clean, it was impossible to erase his credit for the Sanchahe victory, and Liu Yanyuan's hope came back.

"I have a trick for you. The premise is that you can endure hardships and are not afraid of death. If you feel that you can't bear it, don't go. You can still be a rich man at home. Spend more energy on your son, and let your son shine in the family in the future , It's not impossible..." Yang Reform said.

"Your Majesty, please advise." Liu Yanyuan said hopefully.

"Now that the Qing family is an official in the capital, I'm afraid they won't be able to do so. However, if the Qing family still wants to be an official, they might as well go overseas to try. Although the Qing family has stains on them, if they go overseas to be an official, Then there is the meaning of derogation in it, even if there are some stains, it will not prevent the Qing family from being an official, not to mention that the Qing family still has the credit of Sanchahe, as long as I play around with it, the Qing family still has the hope of becoming an official. Now the Great Liuqiu is being developed very fast, and it will soon develop. In a few years, counties will become prefectures, prefectures will become prefectures, and provinces will soon become provinces. The Qing family has had a hard time for a few years. I am trying to find a way to transfer the Qing family back, so that the Qing family can continue to be an official, but it is a bit difficult..." Yang Reform came up with an idea.This is not a good idea, it is almost a bad idea, but if Liu Yanyuan wants to become an official, this is almost the only way to go.Derogation, this word is not a good word, it has a bad meaning in it, but Yang Reform wants to say that it is actually a good word.

Yang Reform quite appreciates the political atmosphere of the Song Dynasty when the central government was relegated to the local government and the court struggle had a certain bottom line. This is much better than the life-and-death party struggle. A story praised by posterity.Today's party struggles seem to be less intense, it's because of their own intentional differentiation; intentional diversion of attention; intentional suppression has such an effect, and the reality itself still exists.Yang Reform wants to learn from the Song Dynasty, leaving a back door for the party struggles in the Ming Dynasty, or setting a precedent.In case someone wants to follow this path in the future, there will be a precedent to follow.

However, Yang Reform also knows that this is not necessarily a good way to learn from, and his own ideas may not be able to be implemented. Yang Reform actually means laying the foundation for colonial expansion in advance, rectifying the name of the colony, and demoting officials. After leaving the land of Huawai, and getting up again in a few years, I am afraid that everyone will ask, why do you get up?Then, obviously, we should care about the colonies. It is very helpful for the development of the colonies and the rectification of the names of the colonies. In a few years, some well-developed colonies should be treated the same as the mainland, and no one will Those places will be regarded as enclaves, barren and smoky lands. From then on, these places will become China's inalienable territory since ancient times.

"Da Liuqiu?" It was not the first time Liu Yanyuan heard this name, and he was quite familiar with this name.The pirate Zheng Zhilong and the emigration are all related to this.

"That's right, it's the Great Ryukyu. Master Xu is immigrating there now. It has already achieved some results. It has been well developed. In less than two years, grain can be shipped to the inland. In less than two years, the better developed counties will be It's time to become a state. If the Qing family is unwilling to leave the officialdom, I can help and send the Qing family there. The Qing family will stay there for a few years, earn some merit, and return to the court with merit. This is not in vain. , the Qing family can also use this to wash away the stains on their bodies and be a clean person... What does the Qing family mean?" Yang Reform said.

Liu Yanyuan hesitated. What the emperor said was quite attractive. As a member of the imperial party, he knew how much the emperor had put in his efforts in the Great Liuqiu. The emperor did not lie to him. possible.But obviously, Liu Yanyuan's hesitation was also quite large. The views he had formed all along told him that it was a land of alienation, a land of smog, and people there drank blood and bare hair, and he was likely to die there.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty... Can I take any position in the past?" Liu Yanyuan, who was hesitant, still asked about his salary.

"Hehe, did the Qing family forget about the retirement?" Yang Reform said with a smile.

When the emperor said this, Liu Yanyuan immediately knew what the emperor was talking about. Now the immigration officer over there has reported to the court many times, saying that the natives there often go down the mountain to attack immigrants, begging the court to send officers and troops to suppress them, and stay here permanently. In order to prevent this kind of thing from happening again, now that the matter of retiring from the military is also planned to take advantage of this wind, since there is a request there, the court naturally has to ask, after all, it is related to large immigrants, so it is necessary to send troops, but obviously, the cost of sending troops It is too high, even if troops are dispatched, it is impossible to stay permanently. Therefore, there is room for manipulation. A part-time policeman, part-time army, and part-time militia are the goals of this retirement and transfer to the emperor. For those retired soldiers, in this way, they can have a long-term job without starving to death. They can even serve as officials, and their social status is not too bad, which is not comparable to that of ordinary government officials.

This is also the bottom line of Yang's reform of the military this time. Not to mention decommissioning and changing jobs in the interior of the Ming Dynasty, at least it must be done in the colonies, and then slowly introduced to the interior.

"Your Majesty, did you say inspections?" Liu Yanyuan asked softly. This matter is also one of the emperor's secrets that he participated in as an imperial party. Seeing the emperor mentioning this, he immediately became serious.

"That's right. It's not easy to be a regular official if the Qing family is demoted. However, this patrol inspection is not bad. The Qing family has also served as the Minister of the Ministry of War. I am not afraid that those retired officers and soldiers will not accept it. It is not difficult to make achievements. The inspection is just getting started. Now in the past, as long as you stay for one year, the county there will become a state, and the Qing family will naturally be promoted to the state inspection. Stay for another two years, and when it becomes a government, the Qing family will naturally become a government. Inspection, in a few years, the Qing family will be able to serve as an inspection envoy. At that time, that place will become a good place for everyone to get promoted, and it will become a sweet pastry. Even if the Qing family wants to stay there, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep it, so I can jump back easily, how about it?" Yang Reform said.

"This..." To be honest, Liu Yanyuan was tempted. However, the difference from being a minister of the Ministry of War to a ninth-rank patrol inspector can only be described as falling to the ground. Maybe the entire Ming Dynasty was not as fun as he was. Well, he either resigned and resumed in a few years, but the way the emperor pointed out to him was to start again from the ninth rank official. This is a heartbeat!
"How, how is the Qing family thinking?" Yang Reform asked.

"This...Your Majesty, this, I dare you, can you call yourself sick and retire?" Liu Yanyuan felt that although the emperor's words were reasonable and quite attractive, he still couldn't make up his mind. That bitterness.

"Hehe, it's not that I said you, Liu Qing's family, none of the things under your hands are clean. Even if you call yourself sick, this stain can't be removed. With this stain, how do you come back? This is not a political opinion If it’s just a political dispute, then it’s easy to handle, and I won’t spend so much effort to help you. If you want to clean up your matter, you have to admit it openly, then accept punishment, and then No matter how openly you start from the lowest level of officials and return to the court, only in this way will others have nothing to say. When you return to the court, others will only give you a thumbs up and say admiration. ... The Qing family, if you can do this, it will be considered a legend. In the history books of our Ming Dynasty, you, Liu Yanyuan, are probably indispensable... Hehe..." The more Yang Reform thinks about it, the happier he is, and Liu Yanyuan Just kidding, Liu Yanyuan has already planned a crazy "I'll be back" road.

"...This..." Listening to the emperor's tricks that he thought of for himself like a storyteller, Liu Yanyuan sweated wildly, is this okay?If it wasn't for his own considerable understanding of the Great Liuqiu, and even being involved in the emperor's secrets, he would definitely think that the emperor was crazy, that the emperor was entertaining him, that the emperor was kicking him far away...
