Chapter 116 Take it!
No matter how loyal Shi Fenglai was, in Chongzhen's opinion, he still had his own selfishness.
From the surface, if we take advantage of the fact that the North and South Sects themselves are reviving the hundreds of schools, would it be a good move?
From common sense, it should be correct. After all, supporting Confucian opponents to suppress Confucianism is the way to balance the emperor. The problem is that Chongzhen is a dead otaku who traveled through time. He has been online and read online novels!
So as Emperor Chongzhen, who has read the pirated book "I Want to Be the Emperor" several times, supporting hundreds of schools is to cause trouble for himself. Once these Confucians see that they want to support hundreds of schools, what will Confucianism, which has been the only one for thousands of years, will do something, even if they think about it, they can think of it - first put down the internal strife and the gun is consistent with the outside world.
But what if I don’t support hundreds of schools and instead support various factions within Confucianism?
In order to compete for the right to speak and students, the various hills within Confucianism can turn human brains into dog brains. Just like the leader of Causeway Bay, there is only one position, and everyone wants to sit down and talk, what should I do? It is obviously unrealistic to sit down and talk. So, some people will seek help from Hongxing bosses, and some people? Just find foreign aid, even if they sell some of the benefits to Dongxing.
By analogy, if Emperor Chongzhen supported some Confucian factions, then the Confucianism could definitely make human brains like dog brains. However, if Chongzhen wanted to establish another Mohist school outside the Confucianism, it would be equivalent to Jiang Tiansheng who wanted to create another Lanxing Heixing outside the Hongxing system, and he would also eat Dongxing's territory. The Confucianism of the Hongxing faction would definitely temporarily put aside his prejudice and unanimously attack the outside world, and first cut off the Mohist school of the Lanxing Heixing faction.
Of course, this is just a metaphor. But for Emperor Chongzhen, it was almost the same anyway. A Confucianism with many mountains was definitely more in line with its own interests than a Confucianism that was as if it were a solid foundation under the Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism.
Just as Chongzhen sharpened his sword and turned to Confucianism, Yuan Chonghuan, who was far away in Ningyuan, also came to Dongjiang with a few confidants.
But what Yuan Chonghuan did not expect was that Cui Chengxiu, the Minister of War of the current dynasty, was also here. By the way, Empress Wan, who had not yet officially entered the palace, was also here.
Faced with Cui Chengxiu's question about his invasion into Dongjiang without imperial edict, Yuan Chonghuan felt a little like sitting on a wax. With a sudden change of mind, Yuan Chonghuan felt like ten thousand divine beasts were rushing past. However, in desperation, he came up with an excuse: "The Xiaguan came to Dongjiang because he received a secret report from a spy, saying that Jiannunu Chief Huang Taiji was trying to conquer Dongjiang and North Korea. In a hurry, he brought people to Dongjiang to take a look first, intending to see if Yuan could help."
Cui Chengxiu laughed and said, "Mr. Yuan is very eloquent and deserves to be a Jinshi. Mr. Sun's disciple is also valued by Lord Hou. However, since you have come to Dongjiang, don't leave!"
Yuan Chonghuan knew something was wrong, but didn't know what was wrong, so he had to calm himself down and said, "I don't know what the master of the ministry said?"
Cui Chengxiu cursed in her heart, if it weren't for you bastard, as for the emperor who was the dignified Minister of War, I came to Liaodong to find a woman for the emperor, and almost let the bastard Zhu Gang of the Jinyiwei chop it up with a knife, wouldn't these be thanks to you?
Thinking in his heart, Cui Chengxiu's expression became more and more unkind, and he sneered: "Mr. Yuan, what about you, Wuzhao, left your post without permission, left Ning Jin's stolen, but came to General Mao, Dongjiang. Are you really loyal to the country?"
Before Yuan Chonghuan could come up with any more words, Choi Chengxiu continued: "It's just that you, Lord Yuan, seem to have forgotten something?"
At this moment, when people were killed by swords and I was fishing, Yuan Chonghuan had to ask carefully: "I don't know what the master of the ministry said?"
Cui Chengxiu said: "You Lord Yuan forgot the Jinyiwei--you have already been out of your affairs."
Yuan Chonghuan was anxious, but his expression remained unchanged. He then asked, "What exactly is the saying of the Lord of the Ministry? Yuan is about to be confused by the Lord of the Ministry. If Yuan did something wrong, Lord of the Ministry can point out as much as possible, Yuan will definitely change it?"
Choi Chengxiu also felt that Yuan Chonghuan was really a talented person. When he reached such a point, he could still talk nonsense without changing his expression. He was really pretty. Of course, Choi Chengxiu would not have the mentality of cherishing talents and letting Yuan Chonghuan go. If that were the case, after returning, the emperor would not have to judge him Choi Chengxiu and Yuan Chonghuan as accomplices and cut him together?
Based on the idea that if I don’t go to hell, Cui Chengxiu said, “It’s nothing, it’s just that the letter from Huang Taiji, the dog Jiannu, has been placed on the emperor’s table as it is. Lord Yuan, do you still have to pretend to be confused?”
Yuan Chonghuan's face finally changed a little at this moment, and the corners of his mouth twitched, and he smiled bitterly: "The master of the ministry wrongly accused the senior official. I guess this was Jiannu's plan to dissuade him. The senior official came to Liaodong out of concern for the battle situation in Liaodong. How could he want to be unfavorable to General Mao?"
Cui Chengxiu smiled and said, "Yes, you came to Liaodong out of concern for the situation of war, and I recognized it. But have I ever said the content of that letter? Have you ever said that you would be unfavorable to General Mao? Governor Yuan, you are just a secret!"
After saying that, regardless of Yuan Chonghuan's face changed wildly, Cui Chengxiu turned her head and said to Zhu Gang, who had been staying aside and drinking tea with bored eyes, "Then take down Lord Yuan?"
Zhu Gang was about to take action, but Yuan Chonghuan said, "Let's wait!"
Choi Chengxiu and Zhu Gang looked at Yuan Chonghuan curiously, and Choi Chengxiu asked, "I wonder what Governor Yuan has to say?"
Yuan Chonghuan said: "Mr. Master, I feel sorry for framed Yuan like this? Yuan can surrender today, but I don't know who Ning Jin should deliver it? If the situation in Liaodong is deteriorating, I don't know that you, Lord Cui, may be able to bear this responsibility? Besides, Yuan will naturally submit a memorial to defend himself in the future. At that time, you, Cui, will you not be afraid that Yuan will sue you in front of the emperor and will act recklessly, which will lead to the deterioration of the situation in Liaodong?"
When Cui Chengxiu heard this, she was very disappointed. She thought that Yuan Chonghuan could say something earth-shaking, but she didn't expect that she would still dare to threaten herself at this time. She really couldn't see the form clearly.
If you say that you are killing people and hearts, Cui Chengxiu smiled faintly and said, "The Ming Dynasty has many talents, and there are not a few who are a hundred times better than you, Governor Yuan. If you asked Governor Yuan to meet someone, you Governor Yuan will naturally know that the situation in Liaodong will not be corrupt."
Yuan Chonghuan said curiously: "I don't know who it is?"
