501 On the Disadvantages of Suzerain and Vassal (2 in 1)
Seeing Yu Qian making his own choice, Liu Zhongfu could only shake his head and sigh. He knew his old friend's nature very well. He was definitely not a flatterer. Choosing to be silent is more about considering from the perspective of family, country and the world.
Now there is no room for silence, he can only be loyal to the etiquette, law and Taoism in his heart.
"Tingyi, I still remember you once wrote these two sentences: Those who are difficult to deceive will be hearts, and those who are fearful will be heaven."
"There are very few people in the world who can do this eight characters, but if they do it, will there be a good ending?"
Liu Zhongfu's rhetorical question became a reality in history. As the Minister of War and the governor of the world, Yu Qian was fully capable of stopping and changing the direction of history.
At that time, he could stop the actions of Emperor Yingzong of Ming Dynasty Zhu Qizhen. After Zhu Qiyu passed away, whether he could let Zhu Jianshen succeed to the throne or find a younger prince to succeed to the throne, he could almost ensure his power and status, and at least he would have no worries about his wealth and life.
But if Yu Qian did this, it would be equivalent to using the power of his subjects to interfere with the inheritance of the imperial throne. In this way, in the eyes of the world, he was Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao and others. He would support the young emperor to ascend the throne and take over the power, and he might be unsubmitted!
If such a situation continues, all forces in the court will not accept it, and real power-oriented relatives such as Shi Heng will definitely oppose it. In addition, will local clan relatives and vassal kings, such as the highly respected King Xiang, rise up and maintain Zhu Ming's family and world heritage under the name of "clearing the monarch"?
At that time, Yu Qian knew very well the consequences of his intervention in the throne. He could not bear the world's wars and the people were suffering. He finally stood by and agreed to the Nangong Restoration, which led to his death.
Many times, being loyal to the principle is morally noble, but the benefits brought to individuals are far less than those who know the current affairs.
Liu Zhongfu didn't want to see Yu Qian standing opposite the emperor. Now that the cabinet of the Lijian Supervisor is completely controlled by Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu. The disobedient six ministries have arranged the Minister of Personnel He Wenyuan through the method of "one department and two ministers", and the Minister of War Yiming will also take office.
At that time, both inside and outside the court and the country will be confidants of the emperor. Just Yu Qian, you, follow the etiquette and laws of the original mind, what's the use of opposing Yi Chu?
"Good end?"
When Yu Qian heard Liu Zhongfu's words, he smiled freely and calmly.
"Zi Ji, as an official, I have never considered the word "end". So what if you break your body? Innocence will be left in the world."
In the same situation, Yu Qian and Chen Yichen have completely different trade-offs. One can be more treacherous than the treacherous ministers to achieve their ideals. The other one is willing to die and not be able to survive, and to protect the country with all their hearts.
This is why Chen Yichen knew that he could not become Yu Qian.
But in the same way, he also knew that a pure idealist like Yu Qian could not change the world!
On the other hand, Chen Yichen retreated from the office of Chen Xun, the chief minister of the cabinet, and came to his office and pushed open the wooden door. He accidentally found that Shang Lu was already sitting inside, and Zhao Ranyuan, the clan of the Secretariat, was making tea.
When they saw Chen Yichen coming in, both of them looked happy. Then Shang Lu stood up and greeted him and said, "Xiangbei, I have been waiting for you for a long time, and now I have finally come to you from Mongolia in the south of the desert!"
"Hongzai, you were not so pretentious before. Where did you learn this from after not seeing you in two years?"
The sensation of the content of "The Discussion on the Discipline of the Clan and the Discipline" is not known whether Chen Yichen will be "defeated" in the history of the Ming Dynasty, but at least there should be no problem "unprecedented". Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu can attract any attention, it depends on whether he dares to send it for Yi Chu.
