Chapter 326: It doesn’t matter if you lose your energy, but you will die if you lose your spirit!
Zhu Biao was so angry that he laughed instead.
"I won't live long if I don't do this."
"Xia Zhibai, are you saying the opposite?"
"If I do what you say, I will If you really don’t live long, do you know how much you will need to change if your idea is to be implemented? Basically, every aspect of Ming Dynasty will have to be changed.”
"You have only mentioned military reform and political reform now, and you also know that the Ming Dynasty implemented a small government. According to you, the Ming Dynasty will definitely expand the government, and the total salary of officials will definitely increase significantly, which will also determine the financial system. It also needs to be changed.”
“Nowadays, Ming Dynasty’s tax revenue mainly comes from land tax, and there is also a part of salt and iron tax. If we want to change this, the scope of the change will be too large.”
“ He has almost completely overthrown the system created by His Majesty. "
"Don't say that Gu is just a prince. Even if Gu is the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, if he dares to submit these words, he will inevitably be dismissed from office. As a minister, I am. It is enough to complete the affairs of the court. It is already unacceptable to talk about the country's affairs. You are not the only smart person in the world. ”
"I advise you not to make a mistake."
"Don't take the court's tolerance of you as your ability."
"You are not that powerful!"
"Your Majesty created Do you know how many books His Majesty has read, how many books he has consulted, how many ministers he has questioned, and how many times he has argued with his ministers about this system? You have no idea. Do you think these systems are really decided by His Majesty? "
“Absurd!”
Zhu Biao sneered, his eyes becoming colder.
He respects Xia Zhibai very much.
But the bottom line.
Not everyone is willing to listen to anything.
He is somewhat dissatisfied with the current system, but he has no intention of starting a new one, nor does he think he can do it. The Ming Dynasty system fully absorbed the experience and lessons of the Song and Yuan Dynasties in history, and Combined with the current reality, what is created is the most appropriate and suitable system in the world.
Not one.
It is even less likely that there will be exceptions.
As for whether he would die in this system, he was speechless and wanted to laugh.
He is the eldest son of His Majesty and the crown prince recognized by the world.
My father also trusted him the most.
How could it harm him?
Anyone can die under this system, but he will not, because only he knows how stable his position is. Even if the second, third, and fourth join forces, they cannot shake him. No status whatsoever.
This is his confidence.
And he couldn’t think of the reason for his death!
Despite Zhu Biao's scolding and scolding, Xia Zhibai did not retaliate at all, but just endured it silently.
After Zhu Biao finished venting, Xia Zhibai straightened his clothes again and said, "Your Highness, if there is anything else you want to say, or if you have anything else you want to scold, you can vent it out at the same time."
Zhu Biao frowned and said in a cold voice: "Xia Zhibai, don't be shameless."
"I have already saved your face!"
" As long as the words you say are weak and reach His Majesty's ears, even if the orphan mother is alive, she will not be able to protect you."
Xia Zhibai nodded and said with a smile: "Your Highness is right. "Wrong." "What I said is indeed deviant and treasonous. As a minister, making irresponsible remarks on national affairs, or even openly criticizing and slandering them, is a huge political mistake in all dynasties, and will definitely be punished. Severe punishment will be imposed, ranging from punishment to punishment to death. ”
“What I want to tell His Highness is this.”
“The system created by Your Majesty does have its rationality, and it can indeed stabilize the current situation to a great extent. If there are good ministers, Zuo, he can live for another hundred years, but this has no conflict with His Highness dying under this system."
"Your Highness is the biggest victim of this system!"
"Similarly. There is no one!”
Zhu Biao sneered, looked at Xia Zhibai in surprise, and sneered: "Xia Zhibai, Gu is the crown prince and the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty. How come Gu has become the biggest victim of this system? Could it be that in your eyes, Can I still be the crown prince?"
Xia Zhibai shook his head.
He looked at Zhu Biao calmly and said: "His Highness is naturally suitable to be the Crown Prince, but doesn't His Highness feel that he is too tired?"
"And he is tired in all aspects, even... Depressed."
"Your Highness, you still remember what I said about you before, you are actually a big prime minister."
"Although you command the East Palace, review memorials for His Majesty, and can make your own decisions without having to go through His Majesty's decision, how many decisions have you really made over the years? And how many of them were based on your own wishes rather than His Majesty's? Thoughts? "
"As a minister, this is understandable."
"But as a prince, this is obviously not possible."
"Because the prince needs to have his own ideas. You need to have your own decision-making power, and whenever His Majesty has such thoughts, he will be severely criticized by His Majesty, and even scolded in the face. As time goes by, His Majesty will gradually lose his original intention. "
“But Your Highness is a human being. Everyone has their own consciousness and their own persistence. If today’s high pressure is never released and vented, sooner or later, His Majesty will be completely exhausted. .”
"By then, His Highness will not be far from death."
"Even"
"It is very likely that Your Highness will not survive His Majesty."
"This is It is highly likely that if that happens, has His Highness ever thought about the future of Ming Dynasty? Action? "
"His Highness' body seems to be as strong as a furnace, but in fact, his energy has been exhausted deep down."
"Just wait until the last depression is crushed."
"His Royal Highness is becoming more and more comfortable and adaptable to various political affairs, but his whole person is becoming more and more depressed and dull, and even his heart is getting more and more... I am getting tired and want to escape."
"His Majesty is an extremely strong-tempered person today, and your character is not as kind as the outside world says, so conflicts are destined to occur, only when you are strong. In front of His Majesty, all your struggles and efforts are in vain."
"In the end, it will only turn into internal friction."
"Now you no longer have the courage to stand up and resist His Majesty. You are behind the rules. Now you are actually on a road of slow death. What kills you is not others, but yourself. Although you are in a high position, you forcefully smooth your edges and try to achieve success. The Holy Prince in His Majesty’s eyes.”
"Now that you have gained the title of Holy Prince, what have you actually gained in exchange?"
"It's just fatigue and self-doubt."
"If it hadn't been like this, in the imperial examination, His Highness He will not keep my test papers, let alone spare my life, because His Majesty still has blood in his heart and wants to fight, and wants to tell His Majesty through my mouth that some of His Majesty's ideas are wrong. "
“But now, His Highness’s spirit is gone.”
“My spirit is gone too.”
"It doesn't matter if your spirit is gone, but if your heart as a prince is gone, it will be fatal!"
