After pondering for a while, Emperor Tianqi said to Sun Chengzong: "What do you think, sir? How should Xiong Tingbi's matter be resolved?"

Sun Chengzong glanced at Emperor Tianqi, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, these matters are your Majesty's business. I dare not say more. But I believe that your Majesty will be able to do it well."

He nodded slowly, and Emperor Tianqi felt warm in his heart. This old gentleman really trusted him. Smiling softly, Emperor Tianqi continued: "Sir, Liu Bei once visited the thatched cottage three times in the past, before Zhuge Wuhou was born.

Then there was the talk of dividing the world into three parts. Later, when Marquis Wu came out, he also acted according to Longzhong's plan. I wonder what your views are on the Ming Dynasty next?"

Sun Chengzong didn't expect that Emperor Tianqi would ask this. Although he had many thoughts in his heart, he really didn't know whether he should say it here. Since ancient times, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. If he really said it, would the young emperor

If you fully support yourself, will you end up like Zhang Juzheng, Jiangling's father-in-law?

Seeing Sun Chengzong's eyes flashing continuously, Emperor Tianqi sighed deeply. This old man's experience was quite bumpy. It seems that Emperor Wanli left a deep impression on him, and he didn't quite believe in himself!

Suddenly he seemed to remember something. Emperor Tianqi slowly came to the opposite side of Sun Chengzong and said respectfully: "I have only been on the throne for a short time. I am really uneasy about the state of the country. Please teach me." After saying this, Emperor Tianqi bowed to Sun Chengzong.

arrived.

"Your Majesty, I have killed this old minister." Sun Chengzong ignored his own thoughts and hurriedly knelt down on the ground and said loudly. At this time, he really felt the determination of Emperor Tianqi, and also felt the young emperor's attitude towards him.

Absolute trust in yourself.

Gently helping Sun Chengzong up, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "No matter what you have to say, sir, you can say it directly. Even if one day I become the target of public criticism, I will not push you out. Even if one day the country is overturned, I will not push him out."

I won’t blame Aiqing, don’t worry, sir!”

Sighing deeply, shaking his head with a wry smile, Sun Chengzong bowed to Emperor Tianqi and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I will be driven by your Majesty as long as I live, and I will never regret it until I die!"

"Okay, sir, don't worry. You will repay me as a national scholar, and I will repay you as a national scholar." Emperor Tianqi was also a little excited. These upright people will be his future support and the cornerstone for realizing his ideals.

"That's what I said." After glancing at Emperor Tianqi, Sun Chengzong continued: "The Ming Dynasty is in a very difficult situation at this time. Natural disasters are happening internally, and the external world is also in danger. If your Majesty wants to revive the Ming Dynasty, the first thing you need to do is to clarify the situation of the Ming Dynasty.

The court should resolve party disputes. There should be no rigidity in the employment of people. No matter which party they belong to, as long as they are loyal to the country and for the common people, Your Majesty can reuse them. On the other hand, we must severely crack down on party disputes and remove those who occupy the court for their own selfish interests.

All the officials in the church were removed.”

After giving a salute to Emperor Tianqi, Sun Chengzong said: "What I said next are just some thoughts. Your Majesty does not need to take it seriously if you think it is wrong."

"Sir, if you have something to say, you can speak freely today!" Emperor Tianqi smiled, pulled Sun Chengzong back to his chair, and walked to the side to sit down.

"I feel that we should carry out reforms and re-implement the New Deal of Jiangling Xianggong Zhang Juzheng, restore Zhang Juzheng's reputation, and vindicate the New Deal." Sun Chengzong was very careful when he said this, and even regretted it as soon as he said it. This is what Emperor Tianqi said about himself.

Grandpa is wrong. As the saying goes, if you do this, you may be blamed only by yourself. Once this policy is introduced, it will definitely not be Emperor Tianqi who will be attacked at that time, but yourself! This young emperor can really withstand such a situation

pressure?

Looking at Sun Chengzong, Emperor Tianqi smiled and said: "Sir, don't worry, I think so too. The new policy of Jiangling was a good way, especially the whipping method, and it was a rare good policy, but I

I feel like this is not enough.”

Sun Chengzong was stunned for a moment. What was this young emperor thinking? Not enough? What was he going to do?

"Sir, I have some ideas now, but I still don't understand. Sir, can you help me clarify my doubts?" Emperor Tianqi looked at Sun Chengzong with a smile. He liked this old minister very much. This is a treasure! He is a national treasure level figure.

"Old minister, I am all ears. Your Majesty, there is no harm in speaking." Sun Chengzong bowed to Emperor Tianqi and said respectfully.

"I have two main ideas, that is, both agriculture and commerce must be taxed. Even if I don't tell you, I may also understand that the world's money is in the hands of those people now, those squires and wealthy businessmen, those scholars and officials. These people

He has embezzled most of the world's money, making the people's livelihood miserable and the treasury empty." After Emperor Tianqi finished speaking, he looked at Sun Chengzong with burning eyes. He knew his weaknesses. Many of his ideas were good and right. But they were good and right.

, it may not be possible to implement it. Emperor Tianqi needs this old man in front of him to find a way for him to implement it in one day.

After pondering for a long time, Sun Chengzong said solemnly: "Your Majesty, do you know the consequences of doing this?"

"I love you, but it's okay to say it." Emperor Tianqi wanted to hear the truth. Since Sun Chengzong wanted to speak, it was naturally the best thing to do.

"Your Majesty, the world is in chaos and rebellions are everywhere!" Although Sun Chengzong knew that Emperor Tianqi was right, things were not that easy to handle! Those powerful and wealthy businessmen, and even the vassal kings from all over the world, were the best businessmen in the world and the largest in the world.

It is not easy for landowners to snatch things out of the hands of these people.

Emperor Tianqi didn't expect Sun Chengzong to say this. He thought Sun Chengzong would give some policy opinions, and was slightly stunned. Seeing Sun Chengzong looking at him with stern eyes, Emperor Tianqi had a clear understanding in his heart. He was testing himself.

!

"Sir, don't be like this. I have already made preparations for the death of thousands of people. Even if the country is destroyed because of this, I will not hesitate." Emperor Tianqi's heart was burning with flames, the flames of struggle, because

His body was shaking with excitement.

After pondering for a long time, Sun Chengzong said: "Then what does Your Majesty want to do?"

"In the future, there will only be one type of agricultural tax, which is the land tax, which is levied according to the amount of land. We will reform the official system and establish a new tax yamen, which will be separated from the existing local administrative yamen. All annual taxes will be levied.

Turn it over to the national treasury, and then the treasury will allocate it to the local areas according to the cost." Emperor Tianqi threw out his ideas. He has been thinking about these things for a long time. Although he cannot implement them now, he must think about it.

Do it one by one.
