Zhu Youxiao nodded: "The ideal of the New Party and Datong Academy, the world is unified, for the world, it is really good.

For the sake of all the people in the world, not even mentioning the sake of the imperial court or the emperor."

"If I stand on the opposite side of the people, Master and the New Party will not hesitate to stand on the opposite side of me? Then I

What’s the point of supporting the new party?”

Zhang Haogu said: "There has never been a new party, Your Majesty."

"The establishment of Datong Academy was jointly established by His Majesty and his ministers, and His Majesty also participated in the ideals and concepts. The establishment of Datong Academy was originally for the imperial court and for the world, so how could it stand in opposition to His Majesty?" "The so-called new party, but...

They are just people with lofty ideals who came out of Datong Academy and want to reform the government, assist His Majesty in reviving the Ming Dynasty, and long for peace and harmony in the country and the world."

Zhu Youxiao sneered and said: "Renovation Party, Conservative Party, Township Party, School Party, I really have everything in this court."

"What I want is nothing but stability for the Ming Dynasty. This Ming Dynasty will last forever, so I support students from Datong Academy. If you say that, am I not a single man?"

"Master, there is no need to say more. I don't care about that right now. I only need you, master, to issue an official cabinet letter and order the counter-rebellion army to act according to the secret order."

"This is my request."

Zhang Haogu looked at Zhu Youxiao with disappointment in his eyes: "Your Majesty"

Zhu Youxiao was indifferent and pressed his hands on the dragon chair with a calm expression: "This is my imperial edict."

"Master, aren't you still obeying the imperial edict?"

Zhang Haogu's body was a little stiff. He didn't expect that Zhu Youxiao really didn't care about the lives of tens of thousands of people. He didn't care about that.

The lives and deaths of half a million victims.

That's not a mob against the people, it's just a disaster victim who can't survive.

That’s all.

Zhang Haogu looked at Zhu Youxiao and suddenly realized something.

Yes, this is the Ming Dynasty. Even if he brought new ideas and new doctrines, he still could not change the general trend of the world and the people of the world in just these few years.

The emperor is always the emperor. The emperor is always high above, overlooking the world, watching the various situations in the world and all the people in the world.

This world belongs to the emperor. It is a family world, not a public world. All the people in the world belong to the emperor and all the people. The emperor holds the power of life and death.

The life and death of thousands of people is ultimately not worth the power of one family.

For a moment, Zhang Haogu suddenly felt a little discouraged. Was he right or wrong that he had worked hard for so long to build the Ming Dynasty into such a prosperous state?

"Master?"

"You still haven't obeyed the imperial edict?!"

Zhu Youxiao's calm voice came, as always, but his eyes were already cold.

Wei Zhongxian on the side quickly pulled Zhang Haogu: "Master Zhang, hurry up and obey the order."

Does it make sense to do this yourself?

Zhang Haogu looked at Zhu Youxiao and suddenly smiled, what he did was still meaningful.

At least I have implemented the New Deal, so that the people of the world can avoid excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and can live in peace and contentment; at least I have made the Tartars no longer have the ambition to enter the Central Plains, and will not let the Han family's clothes be invaded by the barbarians, and let the land of China be everywhere

Xingtan: At least I opened up the horizons of my countrymen, so that the people of the Ming Dynasty could open their eyes to see the world, explore science, and develop industry; I at least revitalized the morale of the army and organized and trained the new army, so that the Ming Dynasty could defend everything in front of it.

Isn’t it meaningless that I have already accomplished the New Deal, trained the new army, established national examinations, established industry, popularized education, lightened corvee but favored taxation, favored commerce and heavy industry, and evenly divided the land?

"Master, what are you laughing at?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

Zhang Haogu took a deep breath to regain his composure: "Your Majesty, I just thought of something. My ideals have never changed, and I have always been on the road to practicing my ideals. I am happy for myself."

Zhu Youxiao had a bad premonition in his heart: "So?"

Zhang Haogu straightened his clothes. The seven-beam black sand crown on his head, the lost red python dragon suit on his body, and the gold and jade seal ribbon around his waist were all arranged properly. These were all given by Zhu Youxiao.

Zhang Haogu was satisfied to be able to obtain the position of a first-grade Grand Master, be granted the title of Duke of the State, be promoted to a special rank as a Ronglu doctor, and be the chief minister of the cabinet in charge of military and state affairs.

He bowed to Zhu Youxiao again and said: "I am a wild man from Linqing, Shandong Province. I was fortunate enough to meet your Majesty at a young age. He gained your Majesty's trust and did not entrust me with heavy responsibilities because of my despicableness. This is my great luck. I am extremely lucky."

I'm glad that I can be valued by His Majesty and have the minister I have today."

"For the past eleven years, I have worked diligently and dedicatedly. I believe that I have done my best and have never let His Majesty down."

"But today, Your Majesty wants me to kill tens of thousands of people, and wants me to send half a million innocent and pitiful people from Sichuan and Sichuan to Liaodong. I'm sorry that I can't obey the edict."

"I have been entrusted by Your Majesty with military and state affairs, served as the chief minister of the cabinet, and was granted the title of Grand Master. Naturally, I must serve your Majesty and serve the great world with all my heart.

Your Majesty’s actions today are not the actions of a wise king, nor are they the noble and upright ways of the imperial court.”

"What the imperial court does should put the world first, be obedient to heaven and respond to people, the purpose should be made clear to the world, and the government should be made clear to all people. The criminal law should also state the reasons to set the record straight:

To deceive the people and conceal them, to deceive the people and torment the people, to hurt the people and kill them are all barbarian ways and not the way of China."

"If you treat all the people in the world like nothing for the so-called dignity of the court, then the dignity of the court has never existed."

"The king treats the people like grass and grass, how should the people treat the king? Although it is frowned upon by all dynasties to regard the people as noble and the king as contemptuous, this is the right principle in the world. The justice of the world cannot be better than that of the people. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty once said that the people are like water to the king.

Boat, isn’t what your Majesty did today an act of sinking the boat?”

"If Your Majesty really wants to decree the killing of those tens of thousands of innocent people to show the royal dignity of the imperial court, please forgive me, but I will let Your Majesty down today."

After saying that, Zhang Haogu was deeply impressed.

Silence, there was silence again in Wuying Hall. Wang Tiqian and Wei Zhongxian were already trembling. They were already

I noticed the violent storm in Wuying Palace, which was the emperor's wrath that could destroy everything.

Zhu Youxiao stared at Zhang Haogu for a long time before saying, "Oh, that's it."

"Have I disappointed Master with what I did today?" Zhang Haogu remained silent, while Zhu Youxiao nodded: "I understand, I understand."

"For the sake of the eleven-year friendship between the king and his subjects, I will give you one more sentence."

"Today, if Master follows my will, Master will still be the Imperial Master, the Chief Assistant of the Cabinet, and the Grand Master of the current dynasty.

Even if you are below ten thousand people, your family can still be prosperous and prosperous, and you can live together with your country."

Zhang Haogu finally raised his head and looked at Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, I have never assisted you for the sake of a position below one person and above ten thousand people. If I am a person who is greedy for power and wealth, what is Zhang Haogu doing today?"

In ancient times, the Zhang family in Linqing had hundreds of millions of acres of farmland, and officials were everywhere."

"Your Majesty remembers the friendship between you and me, and I am so grateful that you shed tears; but, have you forgotten the ideals of your majesty and me, as well as the ambitions and heroic words of that day?"
