    Liu Yishen sighed in his heart when he heard this. He had been serving as the second assistant under Zhu Youxiao for some time, and he had clearly recognized the little emperor in front of him, whether it was his speech and behavior or his understanding of the country, the country, and the country.  They are all different from other emperors!

    The emperors in the annals of history generally had an extremely persistent monopoly on their family, world and throne. Whether it was Emperor Qin, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Zong of Tang or Song Zu, or other emperors who were considered wise, as long as their own throne and throne were involved,  In Sheji, your IQ will basically return to zero!

    The First Emperor of Qin, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty all established great martial arts, but finally fell into the path of seeking immortality in order to protect themselves from the throne. Song Taizu was even more afraid that his men would also be covered with yellow robes, and the world was not yet established.  When the situation was completely pacified, he had a glass of wine to release his military power. As a result, he took all precautions and failed to guard against his ambitious brother!

    But in Liu Yishui's eyes, Zhu Youxiao was an alternative. As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he had made pessimistic remarks about the future of the Ming Dynasty more than once. To sum up, what the little emperor had done since he came to the throne  Just four words - peace of mind and strength!

    The purpose of peace of mind is to provide a way for the people to live, and to prevent disasters from arising within the country. Building military forces is to prepare for the arrival of troubled times. From a macro perspective, these two things are things that any wise emperor will do, but in terms of actual interests  From a perspective, these two things currently have huge destructive power on the civil service system!

    Because whether it is Anmin or Jianwu, the most fundamental thing is money!

    But where does this money come from?

    Of course, it is to be used for the world. If the little emperor only provides peace to the people and does not build military force, then it will be light corvee. On the contrary, if the little emperor only builds military power but not the people, then naturally all the money can be allocated to those farmers!

    But now the little emperor has to do both of these things. If you want to stabilize the people, you can't increase the burden on the people. If you want to build the military, you need a lot of money, but this money must not be squeezed from the people!

    Now the richest people in the Ming Dynasty are two groups, one group is the royal family, and the other group is the gentry. Liu Yishen does not think that Zhu Youxiao will attack his relatives, so the money will eventually fall on the heads of the gentry.  superior!

    The gentry were not only the financial sponsors of the Ming dynasty literati, but also the literati themselves. It can be said that the current civil servants in the court basically all have gentry families, and at the same time, these officials also have financial sponsors behind them.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    Behind the Jin Party are Shanxi merchants, so even though everyone in the world knows that Shanxi merchants colluded with Mongolia and Houjin, and made mountains of money as a result, as long as someone proposes to openly trade with the grasslands and open up mutual markets, they will immediately be criticized by the crowd.  Attack, no matter what the reason is, until this person is completely driven out of the court!

    Behind the Chu Party are the gentry of the two lakes. In comparison, these people are quite well-behaved. At least their goal is only land. Because of this, the power of the Chu Party is not prominent in the court. That is, it was only after Fang Congzhe entered the cabinet.  It has truly formed a force that cannot be underestimated, but despite this, I believe that as long as someone wants to tax the gentry, these people cannot sit idly by!

    It can be seen from this that the Zheng Party, headed by Princess Zheng, is basically a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water, with no foundation at all. To put it bluntly, this Zheng Party, which was once powerful but short-lived, is just an excuse for everyone to criticize each other.  !

    As for the eunuchs, I'm afraid they are the ones who work for the emperor. If you work for the emperor, you will naturally ruin everyone's affairs. When such people gain power, they will naturally keep things simple, but once they lose power, not only will they let you  If your head falls to the ground, will you be infamy for eternity?

    So to put it bluntly, everything is a battle of interests, and Zhu Youxiao has now laid out his own interests and is ready to fight with the civil officials to the end. In this case, everyone knows who is on the side of the civil officials.  By the way, whoever will be unlucky!

    "Your Majesty!" Although he was distressed and knew that he was on the wrong team, Liu Yishuo still said in a trembling voice for the sake of his future reputation: "We all read the books of sages, and we really don't dare to have rebellious thoughts. Please ask Your Majesty  I hope that all the officials will work for the imperial court and His Majesty, so take back your orders!"

    After saying that, Liu Yishen took off his official hat tremblingly and knelt down in front of Zhu Youxiao!

    Liu Yishen knew that the truth was all on Zhu Youxiao's side, and everything he said was just a threat. At the same time, Liu Yishen also knew very well that this kind of threat was nothing to Zhu Youxiao, but he had to  Do it!

    Zhu Youxiao still looked at Liu Yishen calmly,Finally, he walked out from behind the desk, stood next to Liu Yisui, and said in an intriguing tone: "Mr. Liu Ge, you should know one thing. Only children can distinguish right from wrong when they quarrel.  Just talking about interests, you and the civil servants behind you, as well as the various forces behind those civil servants, have stood on the opposite side of me from the perspective of interests. What you are doing now can be said to be taking advantage of Ming Dynasty.  Blood-sucking, digging graves for the old Zhu family, what should Mr. Liu Ge do if he encounters this kind of thing? Should he just accept the situation? Or should the fish and the fish die?"

    Zhu Youxiao's words not only frightened Liu Yishui, but also Fang Congzhe and Zhang Weixian were so frightened that they sweated on their foreheads. None of them expected that Zhu Youxiao now treated civil servants as traitors. If they followed  If this situation continues to develop, it may not be too far away for Colonel Zhu You to purge civil servants!

    Liu Yishen's throat was crawling, but he was like a fat duck being strangled by the neck. He tried hard but couldn't say anything. Zhu Youxiao looked at Liu Yishen's appearance, with a disdainful smile on his face, and he returned to  After arriving at the desk, Da Ma sat down quietly!

    "Li Jinzhong!" Zhu Youxiao suddenly shouted in a deep voice!

    "My servant is here!" Li Jinzhong hurriedly knelt down in front of Zhu Youxiao's desk!

    "Go and tell those officials who are knocking at the gate that I will not blame them, nor will I give them the court battles they desire, nor will I take their heads. However, for those officials who have not returned to their respective yamen within three days, all of them will be killed.  Those who are removed from their posts will never be appointed, and those who perform their duties will be demoted to the third rank by the official who is responsible for the errands!" Zhu Youxiao's words were completely non-smoking and even a bit random!

    Before Li Jinzhong could answer the errand, Zhu Youxiao said to Fang Congzhe: "Mr. Fang Ge, please draw up a decree from the cabinet and make it known to the world. Officials at all levels who do not want to be officials can resign themselves, and their official positions will be handed over to the yamen.  The officials responsible for their duties will be demoted to three levels!"

    Fang Congzhe wiped the sweat from his forehead, bowed and said: "I obey the order!"

    Only then did Zhu Youxiao look at Liu Yishen who was already sweating profusely, and sneered: "The Ming Dynasty has been at peace for more than two hundred years, not to mention the martial arts and martial arts, but people who can read and become officials are afraid  Quite a few, don¡¯t you often write to me and say that there are sages left in the wilderness? This time I want to see how many sages are left in the wilderness during the Ming Dynasty!¡±

    After saying that, Zhu Youxiao glanced at Li Jinzhong who was still kneeling on the ground, and cursed angrily: "Why are you still kneeling here? Do you want me to go outside the Meridian Gate to deliver the order myself?"

    Li Jinzhong kowtowed quickly and said: "I obey the order, I will go now!" After saying that, Li Jinzhong ran away in a hurry!

    Liu Yishen couldn't listen to anything at this time, and only the four words "There is a wise man in the wild" lingered in his mind like thunder!

    What does it mean to be a wise man in the wild?

    That is to say, there are still talented people outside the court who have not been appointed. This is a term commonly used in official circles to recommend relatives and friends. Now it is used by Zhu Youxiao at this extremely sensitive time.  For officials, this is tantamount to taking money from the bottom of the cauldron!

    To talk about why Zhu Youxiao caused such an incident, Liu Yishen was afraid of it, and we have to start with the control of the Ming Dynasty. Ever since Lao Zhu became the emperor, he always felt that the more officials there were, the worse the life of the common people would be.  Sad, so Lao Zhu was very awesome and set the number of officials in the Ming Dynasty at an extremely strict level!

    Although the Ming Dynasty has gone through more than two hundred years, the number of officials appointed by Lao Zhu has increased several times, but that number of people is still not enough to manage such a large country, so officials at all levels have staff!

    "The so-called officials are equivalent to the business editors of later generations. Although they work in the government, they are not among the officials. For example, although the county magistrate is the most respected person in the county, it is the master, the catcher, and the servants who actually handle the affairs!

    ??The master is responsible for writing up and down, adjusting contacts, and the catchers and policemen are responsible for investigating cases, arresting murderers, collecting taxes, and recruiting. Without this group of people, even the county magistrate with a golden hat on his head would never be able to get around!

    The most interesting thing is that the court does not pay the wages of these non-staff personnel. They need to be paid by the county magistrate himself. The salary in the Ming Dynasty is pitifully low. It is obvious what the county magistrate should do if he has to support such a large group of people.  Got it!
