Chapter 366: Being surrendered, back-stolen Minister of Neo-Confucianism!

The Apocalypse has not been in court for several months, which is also a very criticized by many ministers of rituals.

Because they do not want the emperor to hide behind the scenes and lend the imperial power to others, this will not help them to understand the emperor as soon as possible and then know how to use the emperor.

When they heard that the emperor was going to hold a court meeting, many ministers did not dare to delay the tenderness of their wives and concubines, and they all came to the court room to wait for the leak.

Not long after, after the ministers arrived in the court, Tianqi also sat in the main seat, Zhang Gui suddenly stepped out and said:

"Your Majesty, former deputy general of the Guangdong Navy, is currently the Ministry of War of the puppet court, who is willing to abandon the secret and turn to the light and join the court. I ask Your Majesty to allow him to submit and give him an official position to show his intention to correct the subjects in the world."

Mao Yuanyi?

The courtiers were surprised.

None of these people expected that such a heavyweight pseudo-King official would suddenly surrender to the court!

You should know that officials from the court have always been dissatisfied with the reform and have joined the puppet dynasty.

But now some officials from the pseudo-dynasty are willing to submit to the court, and the key is that they are the former deputy general of the Guangdong Navy.

Tianqi did not expect that Zhang Guihui would mention Mao Yunyi, so he said in a very cooperative manner: "I will be ordered to use it if the report is approved."

"Your Majesty, Mao Yuanyi is waiting outside the palace now. Can you ask him to thank him?"

"In addition, he has important things to report to His Majesty. He wants to expose the instructor Ge Yingdou, interrogate Wei Boxiang and others to leak the secrets of industrial drivers and steal the steel materials of the Industrial Bureau!"

"Prince!"

After Zhang Gui finished speaking, Tianqi couldn't wait to shout.

At this time, a civil servant in the court couldn't help but look tight when he heard this.

Mao Yuanyi walked into the hall shortly after this.

He was originally dissatisfied with the change of the imperial examination system by Tianqi and Zhang Gui.

Although he himself has quite some achievements in military and equipment, as a child of a bureaucratic family, he was more willing to protect the interests of gentry and landlords, believing that he should respect morality and rituals, so that the Han people should only learn the ways of saints, and let the Han people live in the old age.

Be honest in doing cattle and horses, and don’t be tyrannical to the barbarians in order not to let the common people do cattle and horses.

After all, what if this intensifies the conflict between foreign barbarians and China and intensifies border troubles?

In this way, isn’t it difficult to enjoy peace forever?

This is actually a typical thinking of feudal landlords in the agricultural society. They are afraid of conflicts, so they want to be peaceful and harmonious and happy.

But from a biological point of view, interspecies struggle is inevitable.

It is human nature to fear power but not to admire virtue, and the same is true for foreigners. They will not really respect you just because of your high moral character and will not have conflicts with you.

Therefore, Mao Yuanyi's idea of ​​landlords can only be said to be wishful thinking, and it can be regarded as a manifestation of complacency and cowardice.

Of course, for the landlords, they think this is the most cost-effective diplomatic method. After all, they are not short of money or land, and they only have one life.

It is just this kind of thought that Su Xun's "Theory of the Six Kingdoms" has criticized it.

Therefore, it cannot be said that the ancient Chinese people had this idea, and they also had high-level scholars and officials. This is also one of the reasons why the Chinese civilization continues to be immortal.

After all, Mao Yuanyi has this kind of landlord idea, so he supports the pseudo-dynasty and is willing to work with Wang Wenkui.

Of course, he also hoped to become civil servants in his heart, just like many military officers who had good achievements in skills in the Ming Dynasty now turned into civil servants.

This is also a little bit of his selfish desire.

Mao Yuanyi, who was a civil servant from generation to generation, had a deep plot and was ashamed of entering the official career by just a military official. However, he was not good at Shiwenwen, so he always became a military officer.

But what Mao Yuanyi didn't expect was that after he supported Wang Wenkui to establish a new court, although Wang Wenkui made him become a civil servant, he discriminated against him not as a Jinshi, and he was only able to supervise and make equipment, but did not have enough attainments in Neo-Confucianism.

I don't pay much attention to him.

In addition, Mao Yuanyi felt that the firearms in the Ming Dynasty are now advanced and the technology is updated very quickly. According to the actual situation, it is recommended that Wang Wenkui pay attention to technical research and development and improve the status of craftsmen. It is even better to treat technical masters with superb skills like the court.

Giving an official position is some honorary official titles, but it does not affect the power structure.

But Mao Yuanyi discovered that Wang Wenkui, who only talked about his traditional and conservative bureaucrats who only talked about his superiority and inferiority, even military officials from a noble family like him despised him, let alone craftsmen who were not respected in this era!

Therefore, Wang Wenkui not only did not adopt his advice, but also abolished the Bansmith system implemented during the Zhang Juzheng period and required craftsmen to serve for free, saying that it was to restore the ancestral system, which in turn caused a large number of craftsmen in Guangdong to passively slacking off or escape into the gates of wealthy families as slaves

.

In addition, for the fake dynasty, the industrial department set up by the court, there was no intention of investing money to let Mao Yuanyi organize craftsmen. He was only keen on the side of the way and asked him to imitate the technical information of rifled guns stolen from the court to build rifled guns. Mao Yuanyi said that

There is nothing to do.

But he didn't expect that the R&D silver that imitated the rifled gun was drifted away! After it was in his hands, there was not much left.

The key is that the censors of the pseudo-dynasty also asked him for bribes, saying that they would impeach him if they didn't give them money, or they would advise the court not to allocate the money.

Mao Yuanyi felt that it was too difficult to do things in the pseudo-dynasty, and no key official positions were promoted. Some censors even began to suggest the abolition of the Industrial Department because he did not bribe, saying that this was not in line with the purpose of restoring the ancestral system. The implication was

If he was to remove his post, some censors said that instead of focusing on strange skills and tricks, they should strengthen their moral education. They often asked Confucian officials to serve as the imperial lectures of the fake dynasty emperors, but guns and cannons were just subtle skills, and they would buy or hire them from foreigners.

It is enough to build a foreign barbarian, why bother to bury the people?

Mao Yuanyi did not expect that the pseudo-dynasty, which was the only Neo-Confucianism, would become like this when the tax was restored. The increase in taxes caused the people to live in poverty. The key was that the tax was still tight due to the financial situation. Many craftsmen did not pay their wages all year round, and their official salary could not be paid.

However, the administration is becoming more and more corrupt. Guangdong was not cold at first, so it even wanted Bingjing!

The most important thing is that there are many ministers from the pseudo-department court, but none of them are in charge!

The ministers and ministers were only concerned about making money, and the censors were also concerned about making money. The key was to be concerned about the money and turned a deaf ear to the phenomenon of starvation in Guangzhou City.

Therefore, under the instigation of Xichang's detailed work, Mao Yuanyi decided to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. Even for the sake of more and more sorrow and hunger in Guangdong, he would still submit to the court again, even if he might be punished by the court for this.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Guizao asked Xichang's detailed work in Guangdong to help Mao Yuanyi return to the capital and become his guest. Now he has appeared in the court because of him.

"The guilty minister has seen Your Majesty!"

Mao Yuanyi knelt devoutly in front of the Apocalypse. Although he once felt that the emperor in front of him was a rude job, he had to admit that at least the emperor did not make the Ming Dynasty worse and worse, at least he was leaving the pseudo-gong.

After the rule of the region, he no longer saw the hunger in the city. Therefore, he was indeed guilty of his past act of joining the puppet dynasty, and felt that he was sorry for the people of the puppet dynasty and the emperor in front of him.

Tianqi was too lazy to pay attention to Mao Yuanyi’s personal affairs, and asked anxiously: “You know who is helping the pseudo-dynasty steal the skills of the Industrial Department. Who is it? Tell me immediately!”

"Report to your Majesty, yes."

Mao Yuanyi hasn't finished speaking yet.

At this time, Zhang Sizhi, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, shouted first: "Mao Shimin, why did you do this?! Is this true to Neo-Confucianism?!"
