Chapter 290 Once the country is changed, Confucian officials become cute!
Zhang Gui couldn't help laughing at this moment.
He knew that Jin Xianzhi would react like this.
Because he knows very well that today's Lee Dynasty Korea is also a Confucian dynasty with a civil dictatorship.
Such dynasties are basically aggressive internally and servile externally.
Just look at Song Dynasty under the civil dictatorship.
No matter how rich you are, it is only a fat sheep, not a lion.
The same is true of the current Lee Kingdom.
For such a Confucian dynasty with civil dictatorship, in Zhang Gui’s opinion, not to squeeze it hard is simply to be sorry for the opportunity given by history.
Therefore, Jin Xianzhi, as a Confucian official, would definitely not be afraid to ask Daming to be reprimanded, and would rather die than protect the interests of his own country.
Jin Xianzhi is very clear that Daming has slowly recovered its national strength and is moving towards ZTE, and his country cannot afford to offend it.
In addition, Jin Xianzhi knew better that his Confucian civil servants could suppress military generals, even the king and nobles in his own country, and allow himself civil officials to monopolize power. People believe that the reason why the Ming Dynasty is strong is because it respects Confucianism and literature.
That is to say, people like myself must support Daming and say good things about Daming, and must also make Daming willing to support his scholar-bureaucrats in North Korea in order to guarantee the power of these scholar-bureaucrats.
As for the interests of the country's honor and disgrace, it is nothing compared with the interests of scholar-bureaucrats.
Therefore, Jin Xianzhi did not express dissatisfaction, but respectfully admitted that he had lost morality in North Korea and was not ordered to return Xianzhou in time.
Liu Zongzhou was naturally disappointed with Jin Xianzhi's answer.
Because Jin Xianzhi replied like this, it undoubtedly proved that what he just said was wrong!
"Obviously I am the one who lost morals, how can you say that you are the ones who lost morals?"
Liu Zongzhou was so depressed, he really wanted to go up and grab Jin Xian straight by the collar, and ask him carefully if he was confused.
"Your Majesty! Since the envoys of Jin have said so, the minister believes that this shows that North Korea is still polite. In this way, they will not meet each other in battle, and the existing relationship can still be maintained."
At this time, Chen Zizhuang followed up while the iron was hot, and looked at Liu Zongzhou, and asked: "Liu Zongxian, now that the envoys of the vassal states say so, I think you will no longer have any objections, and continue to force your majesty to ignore Chengzu. The old edict, let Xianzhou be led by the vassal state?"
Liu Zongzhou was not willing to admit defeat, so he continued: "Your Majesty, the Jin envoy must be afraid of the country's prestige when he says this now, so he has to say something against his will! This is indeed against the way of a saint. Your Majesty, please take back your will, don't force Xianzhou to cause resentment to the neighbors!"
"His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, please accept."
At this time, Jin Xianzhi shouted hastily, and said: "The words of the ministers of the vassal state just now are not words of deceit against their will! Nor are they intentionally pandering out of fear of the power of the heavenly court. This matter is indeed disrespectful to the vassal state." We lost our morality first, and now if we can not blame Shangguo, and Shangguo allows us to return Xianzhou peacefully, it is naturally a kindness of Shangguo, we will be grateful, and complaints are really out of the question."
Jin Xianzhi also doesn’t understand why this Ming official in front of him always wants to dismantle his position, insists on thinking that he should fight with the emperors and ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and even criticize him with words, doesn’t he know that he wants to make money by making peace?
Liu Zongzhou hit the cotton with a heavy fist, he didn't understand why Jin Xianzhi was so cowardly, he was trying his best to speak for him, but he still demolished himself, and he couldn't stand his back, he was so afraid The key point is, what's the matter with the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty pressing down on the country? As a royal minister, shouldn't you try your best to protect the interests of your kingdom?
"Since that's the case, the court meeting is here. It's rare for this little minister of the vassal state to know the etiquette, pass the decree, and give fifty taels of gold. If Xianzhou returns peacefully without using swords, I will definitely reward you again."
"Thank you, Emperor Daming!"
Jin Xianzhi knelt on the ground and kowtowed in gratitude, and couldn't help showing a smile, thinking: "With the kindness of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty who rewarded silver, after returning, he will definitely be favored by His Highness! The key is that if he can really promote Xianzhou Returning to the Ming Dynasty in peace, and saving us from a war in North Korea is considered a great achievement, and it may be able to gain both fame and fortune! The key point is that the Ming Kingdom will also feel that they are capable of doing things. In the future, people who do not deal with themselves in the country may be even more I dare not do anything to myself, after all, I have the protection of the Emperor of Ming Kingdom."
Jin Xianzhi feels that this is a win-win situation no matter how he thinks about it now.
I won, fame and fortune.
Ming won and got Xianzhou.
North Korea itself won, avoiding a war.
Jin Xianchen also said again: "Please rest assured, His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, the ministers of the vassal state will do their best to facilitate this matter!"
Tianqi nodded. He suddenly felt that this civil servant in North Korea was much cuter than some of the civil servants in this dynasty who he raised with high-ranking officials and rich salary, and he also felt that his reward was not in vain.
"Golden envoy, your clan is still a country of propriety! The reason is that there are Confucian ministers like you who uphold integrity. I believe that if your clan is in charge of governing in the future, your clan will be more polite, and your name Yuanbo, at that time, maybe even the prince of the country will have to admire your country!"
Zhang Gui now also feels that this Confucian official, as long as he changes his nationality, he will become much more likable in an instant, instead of being so annoying.
Therefore, Zhang Gui also took the initiative to talk to Jin Xianzhi at this time, and said that he hoped that he could become the leader of North Korea in the future.
North Korea’s leadership is equivalent to the prime minister, the head of civil servants, and the apex pursued by Korean scholar-bureaucrats.
But now that Zhang Gui said so, Jin Xianzhi is naturally happier, and feels that there is no problem with his response in front of the Ming Emperor just now. After all, even the most powerful uncle of the Ming Kingdom supports him in the future. This means that it is likely to become the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Jin Xianzhi also paid respect to Zhang Guihe, much more than many Confucian officials in Daming's own country, and said: "Uncle Guo's absurd praise, I have little talent and little learning, how dare I want to take the post of discussing politics."
"You are too modest."
Zhang Gui replied with a smile.
For a while, the chief assistant of the cabinet, Han Yu, also came over to talk to Jin Xianchen: "Uncle Guo is right, envoy Jin, you are such a talented person, Your Royal Highness should use it..."
Liu Zongzhou here has been staring at Jin Xianzhi who is very popular at this time with a resentful expression.
He now despises Jin Xianzhi from the bottom of his heart. He thinks that people like Jin Xianzhi are a disgrace among the Confucian officials in North Korea.
What Liu Zongzhou couldn't stand was that many courtiers in his own Ming Dynasty were also so mercenary, they only knew about profit, but didn't know how to abide by the saint's etiquette, and they didn't even want benevolence.
As Zhang Gui said in the Department of Policy Planning and Tianqi, Yuan Keli, Chen Zizhuang and other monarchs and ministers when they talked about the turmoil in the etiquette and governance concepts that may be involved in the mining of Maoshan iron ore, for Liu Zongzhou, a Confucianist of Confucianism, the Ming Dynasty The current practice of the court is indeed advancing in the direction of refinement and self-interest, and it is obviously mercenary. It is obviously abandoning the original kingly way, and it can even be said to be destroying the Confucian ritual system.
Therefore, Liu Zongzhou continued to go to the Ming Dynasty to ask for Xianzhou, which was an immoral policy. He still asked Tianqi to follow Ming Xuanzong's example and give up Xianzhou, and stop obsessing about expanding his territory.
The cabinet ministers knew that although Liu Zongzhou was old-fashioned, he was indeed an upright official and had done a good job in learning, so they intended to protect him, so they didn't draft a draft, but refused to draft his memorial, and kept it on hold, so as not to let him go. Conflict directly with the emperor, lest Longyan be furious and directly kill him.
After all, when the emperor is angry, it doesn’t matter whether you are a Confucian or not, whether you are clean or not, if you want you to die, it will only be the death of the ruler and ministers, and the ministers have to die.
But Liu Zongzhou didn't appreciate it. After learning that the cabinet did not vote, he directly knocked on the Dengwen drum and asked to be presented to the emperor directly, saying: "The cabinet refuses to vote for Taiwan's remonstrance. Please see your Majesty's prospective ministers. I impeach the cabinet for malfeasance and abuse of power." crime!"
Yes, Liu Zongzhou will sue the cabinet.
Cabinet chief assistant Han Yan looked helpless.
