Chapter 253 The reason why the Manchu Dynasty has no loyal ministers
In the imperial study room, Chongzhen, who had dispersed the court, was still a little uncontrollable and excited because at today's court meeting, he felt extremely comfortable.
"Those old bureaucrats have let down my expectations. In this country's crisis, they highlighted the role of good ministers and generals, and truly allowed me to see who is truly patriotic and loyal to the emperor and who is incompatible with his words and deeds, and who is the corpse position and incompetent person. Zhao Aiqing, you did a good job this time, very good."
Facing the old Dukes and Zhao Xing present, Chongzhen still did not disappear from his excitement, and walked around the middle of the ground with excitement, making people dizzy.
"This time, I have worked with a few stupid officials who are paying no matter what they do, which is really satisfying." The Duke of Zheng was also a little excited.
It has been a long time since the reign of the Imperial Group, which has been suppressed, finally exclaimed with a proud voice. He glanced at Zhao Xing: "If it weren't for a Lord Zhao who speaks frankly and dares to advise, we were still suppressed, and the emperor was still despised." Then he shook his head helplessly: "What can the Donglin Party members do now besides opposing for opposition? In order to attack others, they ignore the enemy's troops have come to the city, but frame a capable minister who is truly a country and is good at fighting. What else can't even be able to take out such a shameless excuse?"
This was the first time the emperor summoned an official who was not an official other than the Donglin Party, so everyone was scrupulous and poured out the bitterness in their hearts.
"This won't work. If this continues, the officials of the court will no longer be doing things for the country and the emperor, but for a group of groups that benefit their interests." Zhao Xing said painfully, and saw everyone silent, and continued deafeningly: "And this kind of atmosphere has been formed, it is terrible. Now, no matter who it is, as long as it touches their personal interests, they will oppose or even betray it without hesitation. No matter who it is, even if it is Jiannu, as long as it is given benefits, they will surrender without hesitation."
As soon as this truly heart-wrenching sentence was released, even Chongzhen, who was walking excitedly, couldn't help but stop, took a deep breath, and then sipped the air conditioner.
In fact, this is not Zhao Xing's alarmist statement, this is the historical reality that is about to appear. When this old empire reached the 17th year of Chongzhen, almost no one of the officials was thinking about how to save the empire. Instead, they thought about how to surrender to the enemy as soon as possible to protect their interests. They first actively surrendered to Li Zicheng. When Li Zicheng began to torture and assist in the salary and harmed their interests again, they chose to surrender to the Qing Dynasty without hesitation.
When those scholars who swear to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism put all their life starting points based on their own interests, the humanistic foundation of this world has collapsed.
After the Qing Dynasty, there was no China. In fact, the crime of disappearing the true Chinese civilization could not be blamed on the Qing Dynasty. Because the Qing Dynasty followed the Ming system, after the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, all the Ming system and traditions followed. The only thing they did was to completely deprive the power of the ministers and make the officials become vassals of the emperor's will again.
The true Chinese civilization disappeared, but in the first year of Chongzhen, the Donglin Party members had already been cut off. Therefore, Zhao Xing believed that the biggest crime of the Donglin Party members was not to destroy the Ming Dynasty, but to destroy the entire Chinese civilization's bloodline, and to make the cultural connotation go in a different way and deform.
Faced with the sudden statement made by Zhao Xing, Chongzhen became more and more afraid of it. In the end, he was shuddered and became nervous, and then he yelled like a nervous man: "Check, let me investigate thoroughly. Anyone who is unfaithful to the emperor, unpatriotic, greedy and incompetent, will be kicked out of the court." Then he yelled excitedly: "I would rather be the only one in this court than to eventually sell this old empire and sell me." Finally, he was his true words. It was also from this moment that Chongzhen entered the vicious cycle of absolutely not trusting ministers, and letting the few ministers who are loyal to him completely betray him.
From this point of view, Zhao Xing is a sinner.
Zhao Xing sat there and stared at Chongzhen who was already in hysteria. He suddenly felt that his guilt was deeply culprit. Looking at the other dukes, he was already in infinite panic. This time, Zhao Xing deeply felt that he was not stepping on the brakes on this Ming chariot, but kicking the accelerator and knocking the driver at the helm unconscious.
What to do? How can we change this terrible situation?
Zhao Xing was asking himself, and Chongzhen was asking anxiously.
Just when everyone was facing the most likely danger but was helpless, Zhao Xing took a deep breath, leaned out and said, "Kaienke."
As soon as these three words came out, everyone calmed down, looked at him quietly, waiting for him to continue talking.
Zhao Xing said again with a plain face: "Kai Enke, Kai Special Core."
"Emperor, you all, it has been three years since the emperor ascended the throne. In the past three years, all the people appointed were from the Wanli Dynasty. These appointed officials were all disciples of the Emperor's son of the Wanli Dynasty, but there was no one from the Chongzhen Dynasty. It was terrible if there was no disciple of the Emperor himself today." Zhao Xing said the crux of the matter.
Yes, now all the Ming Dynasty and the opposition were from the Wanli Dynasty to recruit scholars. The only one was Lu Xiangsheng, a Jinshi who was won in the first year of Chongzhen. He was not in the court and had a low position. Therefore, according to the inherent thinking of the emperor and the ministers, Wanli's disciples were not interested in Chongzhen and of course were disinterested. No official thoughts on Chongzhen and spoke for Chongzhen. Because, in their hearts, Chongzhen was not kind to them. Workers who were not grateful would follow the crowd and would not do anything with their salary, and would not be able to handle the master. They would have the mentality of raising their masters. Whoever gave them great benefits would have the mentality of jumping to the person who would go to.
Some of the nobles were doing things, but they were not loyal to Chongzhen, they were loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Beijing fell twice, and officials fought for the strong offer. The nobles died in battle, the Duke Five, the Marquis died in the thief and the Jiannu twenty-one, and countless counts.
But now, they are suppressed and feared by Donglin, and they have no effect at all.
Now, Lu Xiangsheng is in the country to fight to the death because he is a disciple of Chongzhen and is working with gratitude.
Zhao Xing was putting out the fire for Chongzhen because Chongzhen promoted him and gave him a sense of responsibility to change his own and others' history and fight for it.
Zhang Zhiji was fighting for the death to the country because he was enthroned by Chongzhen and was valued by Chongzhen.
Sun Chengzong was dragging his old body to work hard for Chongzhen because he was Chongzhen's teacher.
But with these three or four people alone, you can't change anything even if you are exhausted. Because only these three or four people do things, they become aliens in the eyes of all those who do not do things, and they will inevitably appear. Those who do things will eventually be killed and expelled by those who do not do things.
"If you want to change the status quo, you must quickly form your team. You must have officials who are grateful to the emperor and stand all over the court, and assist the emperor in governing the country with gratitude and true loyalty. Therefore, please ask the emperor to be encore. Yes, it is a group of talents that the emperor has met to enter the court and use it for the emperor."
If Chongzhen cannot really develop into a character of doubting everything, it will not only make him completely betrayal of his relatives, but will eventually harm him.
