Chen Aiguo sat in the seat prepared by the palace maid and elaborated: "We held this meeting based on the principles of frankness, fairness and impartiality to help Ming Dynasty. This meeting is positive and upward..."
The beginning of a formalized meeting caused the important civil and military ministers of the Ming Dynasty to look at each other.
Chen Aiguo ignored their complex thoughts and explained in detail the draft he had memorized long ago.
"Since ancient times, the reasons for the demise of dynasties have been complicated, but there are two core elements that can never be escaped! Let me first talk about the two most important reasons for the collapse of the Ming Dynasty."
"The first one is naturally the collapse of officialdom."
"The second one is the frequent natural and man-made disasters. All external factors can be classified as man-made disasters!"
"I don't want to talk too much about the collapse of officialdom! You civil servants, military generals, eunuchs and relatives of the emperor all know how much land you have occupied, how many taxes you have incurred, and how many wrongful and unjust cases you have committed in the past few hundred years!"
Gu Bingqian wanted to stand up and refute, but Chen Mu hit him in the head with a walnut.
"Oh~ you..."
Chen Mu sneered: "Stop it, if you dare to interrupt again, I will kill you!"
Gu Bingqian suddenly dared to be angry but dared not speak.
Chen Aiguo added thirty-six words to Chen Mu's praise in his heart: "The collapse of officialdom is the root cause, and natural and man-made disasters are the fuse that ignited the collapse of the Ming Dynasty!"
Seeing that everyone was holding back their anger and not speaking, Chen Aiguo said with a smile: "Do you know why after 200 years of dynasties, there will always be various signs of national subjugation, natural disasters, man-made disasters, and various problems one after another?"
Everyone was intimidated by Chen Mu's power and did not dare to speak.
"Everyone knows about the Han and Tang Dynasties, and everyone knows about the demise of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Everyone can speak freely now."
Everyone looked at each other, and Zhao Nanxing was the first to speak.
"The Han and Tang dynasties were in chaos due to eunuchs and powerful ministers. Taizu and Chengzu took back the imperial power. How could Zhang Qiankun cause the disaster of destroying the country?"
Wei Zhongxian looked at each other angrily: "Humph, the disaster of the Han and Tang Dynasties, the disaster of destruction was due to the family and the rebellion of the generals and ministers!"
These words made Zhu Chunchen, Zhang Weixian and other nobles unhappy: "Huh, there are also many problems with eunuchship. If the Han Dynasty had not been caused by the disaster of the ten chief servants, how could the strong Han Dynasty have perished?"
Wei Zhongxian looked disdainful: "Haha, it is obviously caused by the collapse of your officialdom, so how did the Yellow Turban Rebellion arise? The panic-stricken man is prosperous and declining because of the collapse of officialdom!"
Zhao Nanxing yelled loudly: "You are the ones who have the power to castrate Cholera Chao Gang!"
"Military generals bring harm..."
The civil servants, military generals, nobles and eunuchs all had their own opinions, and the Qianqing Palace gradually became a little noisy.
Chen Aiguo glanced at Chen Mu out of the corner of his eye.
"You must make me a bad guy and a villain. After the acting is over, you must add chicken legs to me."
Chen Mu thought about adding chicken legs, but he didn't hesitate in his actions. He casually grabbed Zhao Nanxing, who screamed the loudest.
He stretched out his hand and was slapped all over his face!
"I asked you to scream. I asked you to scream! You have such a loud voice and it scares me, you know? Also, why are you so pale? The light bulbs in my house are not as bright as yours. Do you really think you are RMB and everyone loves you?"
Bang bang bang~
They used their hands and feet to beat Zhao Nanxing, the censor of Zuodu, until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.
This guy was so stubborn that he didn't even say a word!
"Hey~ You are very resentful? Your name is Zhao Nanxing, right? Let me think about it, Zhao Nanxing, also known as Mengbai, nicknamed Pehe, also known as Qingdu Fingke, is from Gaoyi, Zhending Prefecture, Beizhili. Leader of the Donglin Party
One. Oh...you have an old mother at home, three sons, seven daughters, family property...tenants...shops..."
Zhao Nanxing was extremely angry when he heard that this gangster was shaking out his underwear.
"You're a scoundrel. Why do you think about my background and worth?"
"Nothing, I just said that if you dare to look at me with dead fish eyes, I will be the first to settle accounts with you among the nine tribes."
Zhao Nanxing's veins popped out, but he was worried about what Chen Mu said and didn't dare to say any more!
Chen Mu then let go of his hand: "Is this so good?"
The endless quarrel was ended by a few slaps from Chen Mu.
Chen Aiguo showed an innocent smile: "Chen Mu, please step aside and I will tell them in detail why the Ming Dynasty is in danger of subjugating the country."
Everyone looked at Chen Mu with even worse eyes.
Chen Aiguo said calmly: "Since ancient times, the demise of dynasties in the Central Plains has always started with the collapse of official governance. The cause of the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the Han Dynasty was originally due to natural disasters that led to poor harvests, and the officials were too greedy, which caused dissatisfaction among the people and starved to death everywhere.
You also know that even if there is no Zhang Jiao, there are still Li Jiao and Chen Jiao!"
The civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty did not say much at the moment.
Because the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the Han Dynasty was indeed caused by natural and man-made disasters.
Seeing no one refuting, Chen Aiguo felt quite bored.
The people in front of me are all historical figures. Although they are from movies and TV series, even if Chen Aiguo completes this mission, he will still have the capital to brag to his colleagues!
"Perhaps the history books will record that the emperor was young and his superiors bullied his young master. It is recorded that God did not favor the great Han Dynasty. Apart from natural disasters, the most important cause of his demise was the administration of officials."
"Let's talk about the Tang Dynasty!"
"Everyone knows the core reason for the demise of the Tang Dynasty. Because Jiedushi was exclusively responsible for the military and civil affairs, and the three judicial powers were concentrated, An Shi and An Shi had undesirable thoughts. The powerful Tang Dynasty has since entered the path of decline!"
"But the core factor that triggered the Anshi Rebellion was the collapse of officialdom. What do you want to say?"
Zhu Chunchen sneered and said: "One-sided words. Even if you say that the collapse of the Han and Tang Dynasties was related to the rule of officials, it does not mean that the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed!"
Chen Aiguo shrugged his shoulders, and Chen Mu, Zhang Jin and others laughed in cooperation.
His smile is a little exaggerated, and his acting skills can only be rated 59 points. But it is enough to deal with these high-level officials who think they control the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Chunchen frowned and glared: "Humph! Am I wrong? You are mocking us like this and you still call it a fair negotiation? It's ridiculous."
Mu Si spoke for the first time at this meeting.
"This old man, what is your surname?"
"I am Zhu Chunchen, Duke of Chengguo!"
"Oh, how many fertile fields, shops, and industries does your family have? Do you know how many soldiers and horses you control?"
Zhu Chunchen was startled: "Farmland is just a reward from past dynasties. I don't know about shops. I am now in charge of the 12th Battalion of Beijing. Also, who are you? Why are you asking me this?"
Zhu Chunchen was very angry. If this woman had asked him this question elsewhere, she would have started to curse.
If it weren't for his own safety, he wouldn't be so good-tempered.
Mu Siyue laughed: "I'm just a nobody! Let's talk about whether Duke Cheng Guo knows about his own fertile land. Let's just say that the 12th Battalion of the Beijing Camp under your control is really full of people? Are the troops really strong?"
Zhu Chunchen's heart tightened and he snorted coldly: "If we come in here, it will be enough to deal with arrogant people like you!"
Mu Siyue shook her head: "You are Gu Bingqian's chief assistant, right?"
Gu Bingqian was naughty: "I am indeed Gu Bingqian!"
"How many fertile fields and shops do you have at home?"
"My family's farmland is only 100 acres. Business is competing with the people for profit, so I won't participate!"
Mu Siyue laughed: "Really?"
Later, Mu Siyue asked the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty about their own assets, their own fertile land and various industries.
Some people can answer, some can't.
Mu Siyue took out a ledger and started reading it gently.
"Gu Bingqian, Mr. Gu, you said that your family has 100 acres of land, but I have more detailed data. Your hometown has 30,000 acres of farmland linked to you alone. You said that businessmen are despicable, but you operate
There are several very important grain stores in Nanzhili. You said that your assets are very small, but we simply estimated your assets, at least a million taels, right?"
Gu Bingqian's face suddenly turned pale.
"No, it shouldn't be one million taels. If you include the contributions from maritime merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, your family has earned at least 2 million taels in the past few years! Tsk tsk~ When did the salary of the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty become so high?"
Gu Bingqian's eyes turned black when he heard Haishang!
