The genius remembers “love ♂ go ÷ small? talk → net” in one second, and provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Why didn’t these things happen before?

Zhou Shixiang’s answer was the right to speak. He clearly told Guo Zhiqi that it was precisely because they held the right to speak that these gentlemen dared to act recklessly.

“What is the right to speak? It is public opinion, the right to speak, or the right to control the speech of others. As long as you have the right to speak, you can decide who can speak, who can’t speak, who can be heard, and whose He speaks without being heard. With the right to speak, even if he does something wrong and the people are angry, people and gods are angry, but as long as the people who can control him can’t hear the following words, then he can naturally continue to act nonsense.”

Zhou Shixiang got up and took off his wet robe, “Why haven’t these evil gentlemen been punished before? It’s because they have the right to speak locally, and they can decide that what the adults in the court hear is absolutely different from what they say below. , in this way, they can naturally continue to fish and meat in the village. Regardless of whether it is Ming or Qing, as long as whoever recognizes his status and his right to speak, he will recognize whoever. , it’s a matter of course for the tiger.”

“The so-called people don’t lift up, officials don’t hold them accountable. Just ask Mr. Ge, those victims have no status, no financial resources, and no right to speak. How can they fight against the evil gentry? … From top to bottom, officials are both gentry and gentry. Officials, officials and gentry are one body, and they protect each other, and this kind of world can be rectified by a few honest officials, so that the world can be peaceful and the people can live in peace?”

“I understand what His Highness said. But I thought that His Highness was a little biased. After all, these evil gentry are only a few, and most of them are good. Otherwise, Daming would have died long ago.”

Guo Zhiqi admitted that Zhou Shixiang was right in saying that the local gentry and landlords had great power. They could influence the local government and even influence the decision-making of the court. It was with the support of the landlord class that Emperor Taizu was able to gain a foothold in the south of the Yangtze River, and eventually the northern expedition to Dadu, and the great future. Up to now, if it wasn’t for the early support and support of the Jiangnan gentry to the Taiping Army, how would the Taiping Army quickly stabilize Jiangnan, stabilize the situation, and welcome Dingwu to return to the capital. Therefore, Zhou Shixiang immediately turned his face after the situation in the south of the Yangtze River was stabilized, which was quite suspicious of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge. It is no wonder that those scholars regarded the Taiping Army as the thieves and robbers of the year.

Guo Zhiqi is not an official who only burns incense and worships the Bodhisattva when things are approaching the city wall, nor is he a great Confucian who hides in the mountains to be a “remainder” when the Qing soldiers come, nor is he the one who bribes money and bends the law on weekdays and repays the king with his death when the city is broken. The so-called “loyalty”. [Love ↑ Go △ Xiao ↓ Say △ Net WwW.AiQu] He has his own understanding of the accumulated abuses of the government since the apocalypse and the current situation. He is also an official who knows how to be flexible, otherwise he would not take the initiative to stand up to support Zhou Shixiang in embracing the king of Tang, and erect the king’s flag for the world to resist the Qing army and people.

There is no explicit law that the gentry does not pay food or pay fu. It is just a “convention” for a hundred years. Guo Zhiqi sees its harm very clearly. The Manchu Qing could allow the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River to pay grain and taxes, why couldn’t the Ming Dynasty? Without money, grain and taxation, what does the army use to fight wars, what does the imperial court pay for, and what does it use to maintain. If the gentry are still as unpaid as before, and they have nothing to do with state affairs, and whoever comes to surrender, then what’s the point of restoring Nandu, is it just to wait for the next Jiashen to change? Therefore, when Zhou Shixiang clearly stated that the treasury was empty, and he wanted to initiate a settlement in Jiangnan, Guo Zhiqi supported it.

It’s just that Guo Zhiqi didn’t expect that Zhou Shixiang’s efforts to clear his debts would be so strong, and the targets of the attack would be so wide. From the original collection of debts to the attack on the gentry class in the south of the Yangtze River, the last thing was out of control, so that people lost their minds, and even Taifu. Qian Qianyi resigned from office and returned to his hometown, and refused to serve the Dingwu court. Second Fu Liancheng wall was also forced to supervise Anhui because of his strong opposition to clearing his debts, and died of illness in his post.

The three subsequent cases and the current suppression of the rebels have completely exceeded Guo Zhiqi’s understanding and bottom line of “reform”, and made him wary of Zhou Shixiang, so he came to Zhenjiang in person this time, just to ask Zhou Shixiang. What do you want to do, when can you stop.

However, Zhou Shixiang showed him a bunch of deeds of bad gentry reported from various places. Guo Zhiqi was not confused. He knew the purpose of Zhou Shixiang’s actions. The King of Qi obviously wanted to use these evil gentry to refer to all the gentry, so as to prove that he was right. Yes, to silence those who oppose officials.

Guo Zhiqi definitely couldn’t agree, and he definitely wouldn’t be fooled by Zhou Shixiang like this, let alone tolerate him to continue. The suppression of the rebels has now been extended to the southern capital, and officials of various ministries are being arrested into Nanzhen every day. If he really agrees with Zhou Shixiang’s statement that the landlords and gentry are bad, they must be suppressed and purged. From then on, the court will not be able to do it again. Do not believe in Zhu, but believe in Zhou.

Zhou Shixiang is shaking the capital of Ming Dynasty!

No matter how enlightened he is, no matter how he removes the old and establishes the new, deliberately reforms to sweep away the drawbacks, and revive the idea of Daming, Guo Zhiqi is always a civil servant of this era, so he can’t agree with Zhou Shixiang’s statement.

Landlords and gentry have existed in Daming for more than two hundred years, and have existed in the whole of China for two thousand years. No dynasty or generation is not a monarch and a scholar-official ruling the world together. Who is a scholar-official, isn’t it a landlord and a gentry!

Reuse of warriors, and to govern the country with warriors, isn’t this a big joke in the world!

Zhou Shixiang is now walking on the edge of a cliff, and if he is not careful, he will be shattered to pieces! And the scholar-officials are enemies, and there has never been a good end in ancient and modern times!

The impact of the three major cases, the clearing of debts, and the so-called suppression of the rebellion on the court was unprecedented in the Ming Dynasty. The scholars from all over the Jiangnan were completely disappointed with the Taiping Army. Otherwise, where would so many gentry participate in the riots and collude with each other? Man Qing.

What is the cause and what is the effect, in Shoufu’s view, he can see better than Zhou Shixiang.

If Zhou Shixiang hadn’t rebelled, how could the Jiangnan gentry revert to rebellion?

Of course, the first assistant admitted that Zhou Shixiang’s starting point was good, all for the sake of Ming Dynasty and the restoration of the north, but the means were greatly inadequate. At the very least, he should not label the entire gentry class as the opposite of the imperial court. Pull one faction, fight one faction, since ancient times to the present, the high-ranking people have played a familiar trick. Couldn’t this His Royal Highness King Qi not be?

Is it not, or disdain to do it, or deliberately do it!

If not, it is too hasty and good intentions to do bad things, Guo Zhiqi can forgive, and is willing to help Zhou Shixiang remedy.

If he is disdainful, his original intention is not the current situation. Guo Zhiqi can also persuade him with all his heart, and it is not too late to make up for it.

But if it is done deliberately, Guo Zhiqi has nothing to say, but watch him lift up the tall building, watch him feast on guests, and watch when he collapses and the guests disperse.

Guo Zhiqi would not be Ma Jixiang, he hoped that Zhou Shixiang could find his way back, put away his ambitions, and become a true loyal minister of Ming Dynasty. He regained Beijing every day. Who could be more glorious and dazzling than him in the annals of Ming’s history!

Zhou Shixiang knew that Guo Zhiqi could not be persuaded by himself, and turned to support him fully, so after his mouth was dry, he threw out his long-planned decision.

“Elder Ge won’t come, I’m going to Nandu too.” Zhou Shixiang chuckled.

Guo Zhiqi’s eyes flashed, he pondered for a moment, stared at Zhou Shixiang, and said slowly, “Your Highness finally thought of returning to Beijing. It is rumored that His Highness has the will to stand on his own. Could it be that the arrow is on the string and I have to send it.”

“Haha…” Zhou Shixiang laughed, waved his hand and said, “The rumors stop at the wise, does the old man think that the scholar is that kind of person?”

“No, why not?”

Guo Zhiqi’s face was sarcastic, and Zhou Shi knew that he didn’t believe in him, so he told him frankly: “This time I go to the southern capital, I intend to issue and amend the “Da Ming Constitution” and change the old system. “Go on.”

“The Constitution? What is the Constitution?” Guo Zhiqi was surprised.

Zhou Shixiang waved his hand to the outside and instructed: “Take the “Daming Constitution” for the first and auxiliary reference.”

Soon, Xu Yingyuan, who was standing outside, fetched the “Da Ming Constitution”. Guo Zhiqi opened it and saw that the first head said: “Emperor, on behalf of the heavens, manages the people, is the king who is not easy for all generations.” The monarch entrusts the Privy Council with the power of consultation, the cabinet with the power of administration, and the Governor-General with the power of conquest. Under it, there are large and small Jiuqing Yamen restructured, or abolished, or merged, or separated. All kinds of affairs, Luo Li nearly a hundred.

Among them, the most important restructuring is to set up the Privy Council, with the military ministers above the uncles and the civil ministers above the three orphans, and those who have meritorious defangs will be appointed by the public. The 120 people who entered the Privy Council were all called the Privy Councillors. The head is called the regent, and the deputy is the auxiliary. All major events such as changing laws, declaring wars, negotiating (treaties), and expropriating levies were discussed by the Privy Council and then reported to the Son of Heaven. The Privy Council can ask about the gains and losses of the Cabinet, the Governor’s Office, and the various ministries. Your Majesty has the right to stay.

The Ministry of Education of the Cabinet is in charge of all matters related to schools and examinations; the Ministry of Households is divided into two departments: household and treasury. The position of the temple is responsible for the tribute and alliance affairs of various foreign countries. The functions of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Personnel remain unchanged, and the Ministry of War was abolished and returned to the Governor’s Office. In this way, there are seven departments in total, namely, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Treasury, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Industry. The ministries are headed by the prime minister, or the prime minister, and the secondary ministers are called associate ministers.

The original government affairs of the imperial court were supervised by the Ducha Yuan. However, Zhou Shixiang thought that the censor was frivolous when he heard about the incident. Or to go out of the cabinet with government, and entrust it with the name of punishment and taxation, there are disadvantages to cover up. Therefore, the Procuratorate was abolished, and the Court of Audit was established under the Privy Council to supervise the court, and the Court of Justice was also established to manage cases. The original Dali Temple case trial responsibility was abolished, and the responsibility of the legal order was relieved.

The former Minister of General Affairs and Envoys was placed under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council, and its duties were changed from the original filing to the inner court to receiving civil complaint documents. After sorting out, they were sent to the cabinet, the magistrates, and the Dali Temple ministries for processing.

The twenty-four yamen of the original inner court were all abolished, and the Palace Council was established. The original Taichang Temple (sacrificial ceremony), Taipu Temple (car driving), Guanglu Temple (banquets and birthdays), Hanlin Temple (cichen), and Honglu Temple (ceremony) were all merged into the Palace Council, and Shangbao was established. There are six yamen in total. The Palace Council is under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council, and is solely responsible for the dispatching of the inner court.

In addition to the restructuring of the yamen, the constitution also involved the imperial examination. It is stipulated that in addition to the history of economics, the five disciplines of arithmetic, etiquette, military equipment, financial management, and legal order should be added. The three-year trial period is changed to two years. Those who are only good at scriptures and history but not good at the five subjects~www.readwn.com~ will not be granted the rank of imperial court officials, and will not be granted official duties. According to the comments of the five schools, the candidates in the middle test will either be awarded the official position or be admitted to the official school.

Zhou Shixiang is already in the process of reorganizing the army, and this constitutional decree is his specific method for reorganizing the imperial court.

There are so many yamen involved in this constitution and so many improvements in ministry, Guo Zhiqi did not speak for a long time after seeing it. I only read the Constitution repeatedly, and frowned from time to time in thought.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Shixiang thought that the Lord Shoufu did not agree with the reform, so he wanted to talk about the reason for the reform. After the reform, the court and the locality benefited. If your Highness wants me to agree with what this constitution says, something needs to be done.”

Zhou Shixiang said, “What’s the matter?”

“His Royal Highness must marry the eldest princess immediately.”
