Your Majesty cannot make any more mistakes!

Zhang Haogu knew that the core and backbone of these new parties must have discussed something in private before they came to him.

It is true that the New Party was founded by Zhang Haogu, and Datong Academy was also founded by Zhang Haogu. But after all, Zhang Haogu cannot unify everyone's thoughts. Whether it is the New Party or Datong Academy, people come here for their ideals.

Yes, but he also came here for his own fame and fortune.

Everyone has their own ideas and interests, and Zhang Haogu just unified this force.

Now everyone in the New Party seems to have reached a consensus. Are these officials the only ones involved, or are local governors, New Army generals, etc. all involved?

Zhang Haogu looked uneasy. During the period when he was dismissed from the prime ministership, it seemed that His Majesty had been resorting to many tricks, and there was a turmoil outside.

Seems like he thought of something, Zhang Haogu

He took a sip of tea and said, "What do you guys plan to do?"

What to do?"

"You came to me in the middle of the night, regardless of your own safety and His Majesty's concern, just to tell me this?"

Zhang Ruitu chuckled and said proactively: "Since you were dismissed as Prime Minister, Your Majesty has wielded great power without any scruples. He doesn't care about the prosperous foundation that we have accumulated through ten years of hard work. Now the people of the world are in panic, and there are waves at home and abroad.

Without you at the center, not only the officials are working with trepidation, but also the local government has a lot of worries."

"Everyone with a discerning eye can now see that Sun Ge is always capable, but sitting in the cabinet can't calm the storm. Sun Ge always can't do this position of chief minister, and we can't do it either. You have to be the one.

, Only in this way can the people of the world feel at ease, and everyone can feel at ease."

Cui Chengxiu said: "Governor Wang of the south of the Yangtze River has joined forces with the governors of the provinces to give His Majesty an explanation. We must state our interests and let His Majesty invite you to come out."

Sun Qifeng and Zhu Shunshui also said: "Yes, after you were dismissed as prime minister, not only the local industry and commerce declined, the stock market was turbulent, but there were also more spies in the border areas, especially in Liaodong, where Huang Taiji kept making small moves, and some

A sign of knocking on the door.

Now only you can calm down the turmoil by coming out of the mountain."

Seeing everyone crowding around him, Zhang Haogu shook his head and sighed: "Oh, you are trying to push me into the fire pit.

Not long after His Majesty dismissed me from office, you are about to push me back. Have you ever thought about what His Majesty would think and what he would do?"

Gu Yanwu couldn't help but said: "Ming Gong, you can no longer allow your Majesty to act arbitrarily. It has been hard for the world to live in peace for a few years, and the people have lived in peace for a few years. Ming Dynasty can't stand the torment anymore. We are not just for ourselves.

For you.

It’s for the sake of the people all over the world.”

Zhang Haogu, however, drank the tea calmly, not wavering at all from the crowd's words: "You would actually ask, how can this world survive without me?"

"If it's just these words, don't say them anymore. I'm already a common citizen and I don't want to get involved in political affairs."

After hearing this, everyone's faces showed dejection, and Lu Xiangsheng asked unceremoniously: "What was the purpose of Baorui's blunt remonstrance for the people of Sichuan and Sichuan that day?"

Zhang Haogu said without hesitation: "Of course it is for our original intention and philosophy."

Lu Xiangsheng asked again: "Then Baorui has not considered how much trouble this matter will cause? Why not let the students and subordinates test His Majesty's opinion first? If there were students at that time, it would be better for the officials to try it first.

There is room for relaxation, so it won’t reach this point.”

Zhang Haogu retorted: "We will still reach this point. As long as our original intention remains unchanged, we will always reach this point."

"For such important matters as serving the country and the people, countless passionate students and censors have shed their blood, but what are they doing for it? Is it not for our ideals and ideals, for the sake of the family, the country, the world, and the great harmony of the world?"

!」

"Those passionate students still have a future and a future. Their ideals have not yet been realized. They should not be trapped in this matter. This matter is not something they can get involved in."

"I am the president of Datong Academy and the chief minister of the cabinet. If I don't take the lead in this kind of thing, what qualifications do I have?

Why do you have the dignity to ask students and subordinates to charge into battle?"

"It is my unshirkable responsibility to take the lead on such a major matter."

Zhang Ruitu stood up and said: "Originally, you could sit on the high platform and be indifferent, instead of having to go down personally. You have to go down personally because it is your duty to do so. But now the world is in turmoil and all the officials and colleagues are panicked. Seeing that the peaceful and prosperous age we have worked so hard to create is about to suffer.

Twists and turns, if you don't stand up at this time, Baorui, do you still expect someone taller to stand up to this collapse?"

Lu Xiangsheng also said: "Yes, at this time, Baorui, shouldn't you stand up for our ideals?

You could offend Tianyan for the sake of the people of Sichuan and Sichuan that day, but can't you stand up again today?"

Zhang Haogu was silent for a long time before he said, "Has the matter reached this point?"

Zhang Ruitu sighed and said slowly: "Baorui, today I ask you to call me Baorui."

"Now, Baorui, you are not just alone. Behind you are not just the Linqing Zhang family. Behind you are the entire New Party, New Army, Datong Academy, and even merchants, workers, and people all over the world. Your every move not only affects

Home."

"Your Majesty is so decisive in dealing with you, so who of us can be spared?"

"Perhaps you don't know, Baorui, that during this period, His Majesty has ordered dozens of New Party colleagues to be imprisoned. The governors of various provinces are fine, but dozens of people have been replaced at the prefectural and county levels.

This is obviously aimed at the new party."

"At the same time, Fang Yunchu from Nanjing also sent news that His Majesty has issued a decree to remove a group of generals from their posts and imprison them and replace them with others.

As for Zhili, the new army in the nine towns has also been mobilized a lot. Although it has not yet involved the unified level, the captains, captains, and even the standard and unified commanders of each town have been replaced."

"The new party is already in a state of panic, and everyone can no longer support it. No one knows what else His Majesty will do.

In the past, you were in charge of implementing new policies and new laws in the government, and your majesty ruled with dignity, and the world was safe. But as soon as you left, your majesty immediately changed.

He has become extremely ruthless, deposed and killed at every move. The world cannot withstand your majesty’s torment like this.”

"This is not just your fault. If His Majesty touches you, he will definitely touch others, because we are all the new party, and you are the leader of the new party. Even though you were deposed by His Majesty, we still have a reason to survive.

?

Who in the entire new party is not worried, who is not worried that one day Tiqi will arrive and take down the whole family?"

"We have worked hard for your majesty's world and for the Ming Dynasty, but now it is difficult to have a happy ending. Is there such a reason in the world? We are not trying to rebel, we just want to return to the way we were before, with you as the chief assistant

, Your Majesty is still Your Majesty."

Cui Chengxiu even said: "Ming Gong, you are the leader. You are the head of Datong Academy and the leader of the new party. Without you at the front, the new party will disperse sooner or later. When the time comes, everyone will be in danger and have too much time to take care of themselves. Who can

How can I still be alone?"

"Now that His Majesty has attacked you and you are gone, who can protect us and take our feelings into consideration?"

"Our original intention is for all the people of the world and for the great unity of the world. Your Majesty's current actions are no longer the wise and kind-hearted Majesty you once were. Your Majesty only cares about the majesty of his royal family and the world of his family!"

"You have been in harmony with His Majesty for eleven years, and His Majesty has always had great trust in you. Now, for the sake of the majesty of the royal family and for the sake of his family, you have been dismissed from your position. The friendship between the monarch and his subjects has not been taken into consideration. So how should we people get along? We are afraid.

Already."

Lu Xiangsheng continued: "I originally didn't want to get involved, but during this period, people all over the world were panicked, the stock market plummeted, industry and commerce declined, workers were laid off, factories shut down, everyone was selling stocks and hoarding gold and silver, and the entire Ming Dynasty's economy was in recession.

.”

"Everywhere is overwhelmed. Cao Wenzhao from Mongolia, Huang Degong from Japan, and Zhao Yuqi from Japan all vaguely noticed something was wrong. They all wrote to me asking what happened. They couldn't send you a letter directly for fear of causing trouble, so they had to send

Give me a secret message, but I can’t say anything.”

"Wang Wenyan wants to unite the governors of various places to submit a letter. I can't stop this. This is their own decision. I'm afraid you can't do it either.

Can't stop it."

Huang Zongxi stood up and bowed deeply: "Ming Gong, you taught us that for the sake of the world and the common people, we college students follow you and work hard for your ideals. The north has been doing well these years, but how can any of our classmates and colleagues in the south have it easy?"

"You know clearly that the New Deal and New Laws are good, but your Majesty protects the old bureaucrats and corrupt powerful people in everything, and allows the people of the south to fall into misery."

"What happened in Sichuan and Sichuan is not an exception. It is the three southwest provinces and the true appearance of the people in the seven southern provinces! Your Majesty, doesn't he know what those old parties are like?

But for the sake of checks and balances, for the sake of imperial power, the millions of people in the south are treated as nothing!"

"Ming Gong, over the years, how many of our students and colleagues have struggled in the south for their ideals and concepts but have returned home sadly, how many have died in the south, and how many have suffered misfortune?"

"Your Majesty only cares about his family, he doesn't care about the people of the world at all!

This can't go on like this. If you don't stand up, how can we unite as one and maintain the new policies and laws?"

Zhang Ruitu also stood up and bowed down: "Baorui, no, Ming Gong, you have to stand up."

Zhu Shunshui, Sun Qifeng, Cui Chengxiu, Gu Yanwu and others also stood up and bowed: "Ming Gong, please come out of the mountain."

Lu Xiangsheng also stood up and bowed down: "Baorui, come out, whether it's a new party or a new army, the world really can't live without you now."

Zhang Haogu looked at so many people bowing down in front of him, and finally let out a long sigh: "The things in the world are nothing more than these. Looking at it now, it seems that there is no tall person besides me.

When it comes to justice, conscience, righteousness, and ideals, how can I avoid and retreat?"

"This is my philosophy, this is my righteous heart, and I will move forward head on."

Everyone said in unison: "You are wise and righteous!"

After everyone left, Zhang Haogu was left sitting in the study, looking at the flickering candlelight in the kerosene lamp. Zhang Haogu thought about Zhu Youxiao and the letters sent from various places. He finally had to admit that Zhu Youxiao

It is still suitable for you to do research in school, not to be an emperor.

Looking at the bright moon outside the window, that bright moon disk has been hanging on the land of China for thousands of years. From Yanhuang, Chiyou to Yao, Shun, and Yutang, the bright moon shone brightly through the Qin, Han, Tang, and Song dynasties, and now it shines brightly on the mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty.

As the world rises and falls, dynasties rise and fall
