Chapter 1577 Accepting Admonition
After the emperor and the queen finished talking, they returned to the palace alone and stood back.
He lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and entered the Xiawang.
As soon as my thoughts changed, I came to the sky above the capital and looked down.
He also practiced martial arts, although he didn't invest much time in it, and it was just a health-preserving skill, so he was not a master, but his thoughts were powerful and not comparable to ordinary people.
It was evening at this time, and the capital city of the Great Yan Dynasty was an extremely lively time of day.
Solders and beggars were everywhere... What caught his eye first.
The emperor felt uncomfortable watching it.
"My ancestors handed over the country into my hands, but I have turned it into this. I am ashamed of my ancestors, and I am ashamed of the world."
Then he cast his sights on his promising There are several honest civil servants there.
Wei Wenzhong, the minister of the Ministry of War, often only wears a patchwork court uniform when going to court and never socializes with his colleagues.
He is preparing to use it to deal with the Tatars.
"Your Excellency, the deed for this thousand acres of good paddy fields in Jiaxing has been handed over to your brother." A man in brocade clothes who looked like a businessman said respectfully.
"Well, very good. Your fur trade with Liubeile will continue as usual this year. I will tell them to let it go." A man wearing a patchwork uniform looked upright and nodded slightly.
Looking at the place where the two of them are, it seems to be a secret room.
very nice.
If I hadn’t seen this scene, I would have believed that this was a loyal minister!
Who would have thought that he would actually do this and let profiteers trade with the Tatars for a thousand acres of paddy fields in exchange for the right to pass!
As for what is being traded, it is either iron or grain and salt, both of which are necessary.
No wonder the Tatars become more powerful the more they block it, it turns out there is a spy in the imperial court!
The emperor was frightened. How many people were colluding with the Tatars?
What do they think of my country?
Isn’t this country theirs?
What good will it do to them if they make the Tatars stronger?
The emperor felt extremely chilled.
He worked hard, worried day and night, and gave lectures every day. Civil servants often told the history of the country's subjugation by the ignorant king. He heard too much about King Zhou's debauchery and his country's subjugation, Qin's tyranny and tyranny, the two emperors Huan Ling's betrayal of his official position, and Tang Xuanzong's love for beauty and his country's subjugation...
Now, he realizes that they are all fake!
It was the minister’s greed that destroyed the country!
It’s just that the person who wrote history was not the emperor, but the minister, so of course they had to find a scapegoat.
A dynasty is like a big tree. The emperor alone has 12 hours a day, excluding sleeping and eating, a total of 6 hours. How much of the tree can be hollowed out in the remaining 6 hours?
And there are thousands of these ministers, digging day and night, digging in the morning and digging in the morning!
It was them who hollowed out the heart of the tree and the tree collapsed.
But they never thought about whether the eggs would be intact after the nest was overturned?
Yes, they are just like Lu Zijing of the Three Kingdoms said, even if they surrender, they will not lose the state or county if they are tired of officials.
“Hahahaha, they are all smart people, I am the only one who is stupid!”
"I want to kill! Kill them all!"
After going crazy, the emperor calmed down again.
Because he saw that there were still loyal ministers and good generals.
An old scholar, frugal and frugal, donated one thousand taels of silver to help the victims.
The money he saved throughout his life was donated because of his edict, hoping that his subjects would tide over the difficulties together!
However, what the old scholar didn't know was that in the end, only 400 taels of the thousand taels of silver were accounted for, and all 600 taels were divided up.
However, the emperor was still a little pleased. At least the appearance of the civil servants was not too ugly, and they were finally recorded, and they were not completely naked, nor did they fake their names.
There is also a junior general who has worked hard to learn the art of war, made many military exploits, and killed many Tatars. Unfortunately, he has no money to manage, and all the merits have been divided up by his superiors. He has only been occupying the overall position.
With the other party's merits, he should have been a general and entered his field of vision long ago.
Dayan's military system is divided into two systems, one is the battalion and the other is the garrison.
Camp soldiers are commanders... generals... guerrillas, staff generals, deputy commander-in-chief, and commander-in-chief; garrison guards are small flags, general banners, hundreds of households, thousand households, guard commanders, and capital commanders...
The former received military pay and were recruited from the good family; the latter did not receive any pay, but was given land and served as soldiers while plowing the land.
The combat effectiveness of the garrison was getting lower and lower. In the past, he didn't know why. He just thought it was natural disasters and man-made disasters, which led to insufficient harvests. Without harvests, there would be no food, and if there was no food, of course, there would be no strength.
Now he knows, because the sergeants have become sharecroppers!
The fields allocated by the imperial court to the sergeants to support their families and provide military food were all taken away by the officers!
The ancestor emperor had a very good idea. He would serve in the army for generations, not costing the court a single penny or grain, and he could also turn over grain.
What I have forgotten is that the first generation was okay. In the past five generations, officers who held the power of life and death of sergeants wanted to seize land ten times easier than civilian officials and a hundred times easier than landlords. You can find any excuse to punish the sergeants or find some faults, and you can force the sergeants to sell their fields or even give them to the officers for free.
Wait a minute, the emperor thought of the factory guard he had always relied on.
After taking power, he strengthened the factory security force, investigated the privacy of ministers, and dealt with various illegal situations.
This Shenwang actually uses people from all over the world as factory guards.
Why didn’t the factory guards report these things to him?
He looked over again.
It soon became clear.
Factory guards are also human beings, and they also have to make money and eat food.
Before the official election, the factory guards must be bribed so that they will not hinder...
The factory guards play a very important role. Without them, I would be blind and deaf, and I am afraid I would not even have the control I have now.
But the factory guards could not solve the problem of the decline of the government, because the factory guards themselves were also in decline...
The emperor did not go to court for a full ten days.
He was not angry and did not kill anyone.
Just when the ministers were anxious and uneasy, the emperor went to court.
After going to court, an edict was issued.
“Those ministers and officials who can criticize others for their faults will receive a higher reward; those who write letters to admonish others will receive a medium reward; those who can slander and ridicule the people in the city and listen to the ears of others will receive a lower reward.”< br>
The ministers were confused, what are they trying to do?
But there are quite a few brave guys.
A royal censor immediately wrote thirteen articles, all of which pierced the emperor's heart.
"First, the emperor is impatient and does not trust his ministers. Every time he appoints ministers, no results are achieved in two or three months, so he immediately changes his position. It should be noted that governing a big country is like cooking small dishes, and patience comes first."
"Second, The emperor did not dare to take responsibility. When something happened, he dismissed his ministers. As time went by, no one dared to take charge. "
"Third, the emperor was ignorant and reversed the priorities and increased taxes for the sake of military pay. But Southeast Fu. But the northwest is poor, but it still raises taxes, leading to successive rebellions in the northwest. "
"Fourth, the emperor does not know about military matters, and he must first settle the internal affairs. He should negotiate with the Tatars outside the pass to quell the internal strife."< br>
…………
After hearing these statements, the emperor’s face turned blue.
"Five hundred taels of silver, ten pieces of silk and satin, and one beautiful woman." He still ordered.
Everyone was really rewarded when they saw it, and some people followed him immediately.
But more shrewd people kept silent. The emperor was turbulent not once or twice. He used people to move forward and not used people to move backward.
Maybe one day I regret it, and the person who submitted the letter today will die.
It is not easy to receive advice.
The emperor finally understood this sentence.
He has always prided himself on being a wise king, and ministers often say so.
But after listening to it today, I realized how many problems I have.
From what I could see in the dream, these ministers were right. They had these problems, and it was difficult for them to match one or two loyal ministers and good generals. And because they were impatient, they had no time to be patient.
People are like this. They are very clear when talking about others, but they are confused when talking about themselves.
He then issued a second edict.
"You ministers and ministers should also accept your advice..."
The picture is clear.
All the ministers understood that the emperor's tricks were waiting here.
