New Shun 1730

Li Huan didn't go first, so everyone had no choice but to go first.

A group of people walked through the streets and reached the Marquis Mansion. Inside, Liu Yu got the news and didn't know what happened in the Forbidden Palace. He just felt that something was not right.

Normally, it was normal for these people to come to his house to eat and drink. But today the emperor summoned them and they were able to meet him. After the interview, they came to him in a group. This was not right.

Tian Zhenyi hurriedly asked people to prepare food and drinks, and asked: "Since they are here, they must have something to do. You might as well go out in such a non-formal manner, greet them first, and ask what the matter is. After asking clearly, just say Go and change your clothes. I'll consult with you. If it's a normal day, it's okay for me to go out. They are all acquaintances and are used to it. But it's not good for me to go out when so many people come all at once. "

Liu Yu thought the same thing, so he deliberately pulled his shoes on. This was not to imitate the celebrities of the Wei and Jin Dynasties or Cao Cao when he met Xu You. He didn't need to do this to show respect and win people's hearts.

After going to the living room, everyone stood up one after another. Liu Yu asked directly: "Even if you want to come for dinner, you should say it in advance. I was not prepared, and I had to drink a lot of tea first. Since you are here, I also Come out quickly, say a few words, and go back to change clothes later."

Everyone was used to this, and they didn't talk nonsense. They just said: "I just came to see Your Majesty. Your Majesty asked you questions in the palace, and we couldn't answer them. Your Majesty said we might as well ask the Marquis Jing, so we all came over. The Seventh Prince will meet later My wife is coming too."

These words immediately confused Liu Yu.

"It's difficult to answer the right question? It's impossible. You are not bad at matters concerning Nanyang, the navy, trade, and goods. Is it possible that His Majesty actually asked you about matters within the Chinese Empire? Canals? Land tax? Gentlemen? still……"

After saying that, he shook his head and said to himself: "I can't. It's impossible to ask you these things. Not to mention that there are specialties in the arts, I just said that I said it at the beginning, those who learn practical knowledge cannot take the imperial examination There is no chance for you to be a county magistrate, and I can’t ask you this.”

Mantou said hurriedly: "On the matter of the Nanyang trade and naval goods, we answered fluently, and Your Majesty was quite satisfied. However, after Your Majesty asked, he asked about something else. When we talked about Xun Qing's article, he talked about the way to be a minister."

"He also said that Jinghou is a minister of the country, but he is not an admonishing minister, a Zheng minister, an auxiliary minister, or a Fu minister as Xun Qing said. So he called us to ask for advice."

After explaining the general situation, everyone talked about the details. I only skipped many things such as Nanyang, trade, industry and commerce.

What should have been a serious matter now seems to have become a trivial matter.

After Liu Yu heard this, he couldn't help but want to scold his mother.

I thought to myself, when the fuck is this going to happen? Isn’t it an exaggeration to say that this is a once-in-a-lifetime, once-in-a-century period of opportunity?

Forty years earlier, flintlock muskets and bayonets were not even popular in Europe. Nowadays, with the advantages of flintlocks and bayonets, coupled with new line tactics, in the words of Dupleix, the French Governor of India, it is really no problem to defeat 800 to 10,000.

Nowadays, Europe is having a headache because of the issue of the succession to the Austrian throne. The Netherlands was abolished, and Spain actually fought a neck-and-neck battle with Britain on the sea. It would still be some time before Britain could truly dominate the seven seas.

India was abolished, centralized power collapsed, and vassal governors emerged in droves. In the East Indies, the Netherlands retreated, France was defeated, and Britain also shed too much blood in Europe.

Russia is unable to advance eastward, Japan has already surrendered, the European cotton textile industry has just started and needs heavy tariff protection, China fever is rising in Europe along with the Enlightenment Movement, Dashun's navigation technology is enough to do business in Europe or colonize Australia...

Thirty years earlier, if Aurangzeb had not died, how could it have been so easy for India to intervene?

In a decade or so, the British will fully occupy Bangladesh. When the time comes, where will they be able to squeeze through?

To say that it is a once-in-a-lifetime event may be a bit exaggerated, but to say that within these ten years will determine the pattern of the world in the next three hundred years, there is really no problem at all.

At this juncture, instead of thinking too much about how to attack India, how to trade with Westerners, how to consolidate Nanyang, and how to settle the domestic contradiction between man and land through immigration and colonization, what the hell are we thinking about the Fuchen and Fuchen rebellions? Disaster for remonstrating ministers and loyal ministers?

Such a special sentence, "Don't ask about the common people, ask about ghosts and gods" is definitely qualified!

I really couldn't help but secretly cursed the emperor for being "incompetent". He endured the anger in his heart and smiled and said to everyone: "I know about this. The seventh prince will be coming soon, so I will go back and tidy up my clothes. I am used to doing this in front of you, but I must never do it in front of the royal family. "

"Ziming, let's have some tea with you. If you want anything, just ask your servant to get it."

After that, he just asked everyone to sit down and drink tea first, and then quickly returned to the back hall.

He asked everyone around him to go down first, and as soon as they left, he told Tian Zhenyi what happened in the forbidden palace.

After he finished speaking, there was no one around, so he said without hesitation: "What the hell is this called? You can't be an assistant minister or a minister, so that's it. Yes, these two types of ministers should be If it’s not good, it’s easy to be regarded as a reckless person, and the emperor will definitely be afraid.”

"But the ministers of Zheng and the ministers of remonstrance are not allowed to do so. What does the emperor mean by saying these words to them?"

"You don't let them take it for granted, and they don't let it take it for that one, but what do you let them take for it?"

After Tian Zhenyi listened to Liu Yu's complaints, she couldn't help but stretched out her hand to cover her mouth and laughed: "Isn't your Majesty's words clear enough? Third brother, Your Majesty does not allow you to be ministers, remonstrators, assistant ministers, and fu ministers. This is called You are eunuchs and eunuchs."

Although Liu Yu was dissatisfied and often heard Tian Zhenyi talk about the metaphors of "eunuchs and internal officials", he still liked to joke at home and snorted: "I don't know if they can be. But I am definitely If you can't do it, is it possible that you don't know what I'm capable of these days? Even if you want to do it, your physical condition doesn't allow it."

Tian Zhenyi's face turned slightly red when she thought of the absurd things these days, and she spat: "A dog can't spit out ivory. His mind is full of these things."

After a shy remark, he said seriously: "Third brother has read too few ancient books. Although he has read a lot of miscellaneous books, he really doesn't have the ability to find chapters and excerpts."

"Third brother cannot understand the things of catching wind and shadow and using the past to satirize the present. But if I am a civil servant in the court and want to attack third brother, the word 'eunuch' is the most suitable, and it has an allusion. Previous The dynasty has a list of generals in Donglin, a list of eunuchs, and other things that reveal the association. If this dynasty really wants to attack your faction, it has a ready-made name. "

Liu Yuqi asked: "Why is it related to the word 'eunuch'?"

Tian Zhenyi stretched out her slender fingers, gestured with the word "three", and said with a smile: "There are at least three points. The first and second, I won't mention it for now, the third brother must also know. I only want to talk about the third that the third brother must not know. point."

"The eunuch was the one who covered up in ancient times."

"Guanzi" says: In spring, when the government is in winter, it will be solemn. When it is in autumn, it will be thunder. When it is in summer, it will be eunuchs."

"This dynasty claims to be Shui De, but uses Xuanshui instead of Zhu Mingyan Jing. This is known to the third brother. The theory of the alternation of the five virtues comes from Jixia; in Jixia's school, the name of the five virtues comes from the four seasons. The theory of alternation and interweaving of yin and yang.”

"Since we are talking about the Five Virtues, if we talk about the four seasons in ancient Xuan Palace, the Water Virtues and Spring Orders in this dynasty are also included."

"The ancients said: When spring comes, the national clothes are still green and the taste is still sour. Drink it from the well of the Queen of Green, and use the fire of the feathered beast to cook it. If someone is willing to use it, this will be the prophecy of this dynasty."

"Since the time of Taizu, all clothes in this dynasty have been green. Nowadays, the official uniforms of the country and dynasties all use blue as the top grade."

"This dynasty started in the northwest. Since the time of Taizu, the diet of the upper class has been sour. In Tianbaofu, sour soup dumplings and sour cabbage are popular among the people. Even Qishan noodles are also sour."

"The Well of the Queen of Green, the latter of the Qing Dynasty, is also the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. The Emperor of the Qing Dynasty rules the east. Those who rise from the west and sweep across the world are said to drink from the Well of the Queen of the Qing Dynasty. Since the time of Qin Xuan, those who start trouble in Shaanxi must sacrifice the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty , and seek to enter the pass and head east."

"Feathered beast Huo Cuan, not to mention. The feathered beast is also a red bird! The previous dynasty called itself Huode, the luck of the Yanjing, and named it Zhu. This dynasty uses the red bird as fuel and has achieved great success. This is For the feathered beast Huo Cuan.”

"This is why this dynasty is based on the Five Virtues, which is called Water Virtues; it is called the Yue Ling Xuan Palace, which is called Chun Zheng."

"Spring is the time for spring administration."

"Those who are born in spring are responsible for the affairs of summer, which is called eunuchs."

Liu Yu had gained some experience. After listening to Tian Zhenyi's talk about "Shui De and Chun Zheng", he smiled and said: "Is it possible that someone really stood up and said something about observing the sky at night? Such prophecies..."

He didn't believe it at first, but when he thought about it, he didn't believe it, and maybe everyone in the court didn't believe it, but it couldn't be said that no one was trying to make excuses.

After he paused, he asked: "The spring administration and the summer administration are called eunuchs. In other words, the things we do are considered to be the summer administration? So what about the spring administration? How about the summer administration?"

Tian Zhenyi sighed and said slowly: "Those who are in charge of spring are those who cannot bear to be hidden and are driven and nurtured by action. The Qi is calm and cultivated, and all things are open and still, and the shape and physiology are combined. The inner space is empty and the outer circumference is combined. The strong country is a circle, and the weak country is a tributary. Move. But there is no difference, no difference.

"In a nutshell, compromise, be stable, don't make big changes, be lenient, just like before, just tinker with things. This is the spring policy."

"Emperor Taizu's failure in the Middle Way was due to his uncompromising desire for great revolution and his harsh treatment of the gentry. However, this dynasty was finally able to conquer the world because of compromise, repairs, and abandonment of Taizu's harsh policies towards the gentry."

"Therefore, the theories of Shui De and Chun Zheng are widely circulated."

"Xia Zhengzhe..."

She chuckled, walked slowly to Liu Yu, looked into Liu Yu's eyes, and said with conviction: "Everything the third brother has done before, and the pioneering actions in the past twenty years, are all because of Xia Zheng."

"Xia Zheng, drink from Chi Hou's well. Cook it with the fire of a hairy beast."

"The red one is the master of the south."

"The furry beast, the white tiger, is the master of the west."

"Traveling through the Southern Ocean is to drink from the well of the Red Queen."

"The fight for supremacy among the Western barbarians is like the fire of a furry beast."

"Conducting strategies in the South Sea and striving for supremacy over the Western Barbarians is exactly what Xia Zheng was doing."

“Isn’t it ‘eunuch’ to use spring orders to carry out summer affairs?”
