There has never been any secret in the court.

Of course, this sentence has its origin. Even if it is a sacred dynasty, some major affairs in the court will be announced soon after they have been decided here.

Just like many times, many gossips and so-called rumors are circulating. There are always sources of them. Sometimes some rumors are not necessarily rumors.

Just like the news that Zhang Huangyan will pilot the "Dingmu Integration" in Huguang, before he can take office, the news spread over there in Nanjing.

Dingmu is integrated!

The scholars and officials in Nanjing are not unfamiliar with this term. After all, this matter has been discussed for several years. In fact, the abolition of capitation tax and corvee labor, and the integration of officials and gentry is not the "new policy" drawn up by the Qing Dynasty, but it has been implemented since the Ming Dynasty. The reason why the Ming Dynasty did not complete it was because it took time to initiate and complete any policy.

In history, the Ming Dynasty did not do it, not because the Ming gentry stopped it, nor because the resistance was too great. But because of time and environment, when the Eastern Capitols invaded and the situation in Liaodong was tense, no one dared to make a big move on taxes. Why?

At that time, stability was the first.

If there is a big war, or if one operates as fierce as a tiger, the country may die, just like the neighbor in the north in the 20th century. Isn’t that guy just operates as fierce as a tiger? What’s the result?

However, in just a few years, the world's second-strongest country became yesterday's yellow flower. Self-reform turned into self-disintegration.

The more you face a crisis, the more you need reform. The more you need to reform, the more you need to be cautious. "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh food", and the words of the ancients naturally have their own reasons.

In recent years, the government affairs of the Ming Dynasty have become increasingly stable, and reform issues such as "spending acres" have naturally been mentioned by officials repeatedly. Now it is not unexpected to people's expectations for trial implementation in Huguang. Although it is not unexpected, it still caused a sensation in Nanjing. After all, this incident involves the wealth of many people.

"Our master..."

Once again, Li Huaxi couldn't help but sigh again.

Changes in history will inevitably change the fate of some people. Just like Li Huaxi, he has no chance to be listed in the "Biography of the Two Ministers". The reason is not how loyal he is.

But because he had no chance. Dorgon, who had gone far away from the desert, certainly did not invade the capital in Jiashen like in history, and then swept across the country. Naturally, Li Huaxi had no chance to surrender, and of course he would not be listed in the "Biography of the Two Ministers".

As a "loyal minister" of the Ming Dynasty, he even went from local to central authority. However, he still had a lot of dissatisfaction with His Majesty's governance strategies.

"Hey, this really treats the gentry and officials as straw dogs!"

Li Huaxi, who was not sitting or lying like sitting or lying, lay by the window while reading the newspaper and muttering. Even when his friends came in, he didn't even raise his head.

"Treat the country gentry like a straw dog? It's not something that happened this year? Isn't it fun to tame us over the years? Our master..."

"We don't have us in our eyes."

Li Huaxi looked at his friend who had just entered the room and sat up and heard him continue to speak:

"Isn't it just that we are not there? Tell me, what have been done over the years? Even my nephews can even use clothes as a reason to kill a few people. They are beheaded here, and it is clearly a different way to deal with us. In the past, they all shared the world with the scholars and officials. Look at it now? Now, do you think there is still a little bit of sharing the world with the scholars and officials?"

"Govern the world together?"

The visitor sneered.

"It's just like slave gentry, and they still rule the world together. This is simply a joke..."

"Well, you, you don't even look at the place you speak. These words are not something we can say. Some things can only be explained by us, and we cannot say them explicitly..."

Li Huaxi's words made the visitor sigh:

"Oh, I can't say it clearly. You said, when did our Ming Dynasty become like this?"

After a long sigh, neither of them spoke.

But at the end, the man suddenly said.

"Actually, we can endure it in this way. We only think that today is different from the kings of the Ming Dynasty and have similar performance to the Second Ancestors, so we thought of taking a step back, but now we look at it, we are retreating step by step!"

"Back step by step?"

Li Huaxi asked back.

"If you don't retreat, you'll lose your head!"

"It is because everyone thinks so that God is unscrupulous in his actions! But no one can see that God is also tempting step by step?"

"Test? Brother, the temptation of Jin Shang is different from Sezong and others. They are spanking, but Jin Shang... can really kill people!"

Really killing people!

This is the difference between Emperor Qian Sheng and others. Since Jingtai, the court officials have already tested the emperor's bottom line. They have suffered a scepter or demoted to the court for persuading the emperor. Even if they are demoted thousands of miles away, they can be invited to buy the emperor. Even if they are beaten to death on the spot, they can leave their reputations behind. But this is only a very small number, and those eunuchs dare not take action.

But today, he really knows how to kill people!

People are dead!

Everything is gone!

Fantasy about leaving a famous name?

It’s useless to be clear about reputation!

I don’t know how many people tried this with their heads, and they still want to try it today?

Who would like to try it with your head?

"But retreating step by step is not a long-term solution. Nowadays, slave squire is like this. If we don't react any longer, we are afraid in the future..."

After a sigh, he said again.

"In the future, there will be nothing in the future!"

"What do you want to do?"

"It's not that I think, but that there are things that always need to be done... If you don't try it and try it, you'll regret it in the future!"

He pondered for a moment and said again.

"There is a chance now. This time, I'm going to beat the "submitted demons" scholars. I don't know how many scholars are harmed. If they can be motivated, those young people will always do something with impulsive nature."

Looking at the back of a friend walking out, Li Huaxi said to himself:

"Hey, there are still people who are not afraid of death..."

In fact, he is not afraid of death. He just doesn't want to participate in these messy things. Can't they see the difference between His Majesty and the Emperors of the Ming Dynasty in history?

Isn’t they seeking death if they do this now?

However, another thought came to his mind, and this might be an opportunity.

Maybe, we can test the emperor's bottom line again. Maybe our emperor's temperament has changed a little now?

After all, the world has been peaceful for so many years, and people will always change.
