Zhu Youxiao actually wanted to scare Wang Yongguang, but he didn't mean to engage in literary inquisition, so he smiled and said, "Get up and sit down! I'm just asking my dear, why do you have to do this?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Wang Yongguang had no choice but to sit down and thought to himself: "In the future, you will never talk to some people who seem very loyal. Your Majesty obviously has eyeliners among our civil servants!"

"After that I think you court officials are not traitors and evil people. I have read the books of sages since I was a child and learned the way of governing the world and helping the people. I am the purpose of the people of the world and governing the country so that the world can be ruled. Therefore, I believe that you can share the national affairs for me, but there are many court officials. Even if there are no traitors and evil, there must be a difference in character and inferiority and ability."

"You have been selected to be of character and ability, and have been recognized by civil and military officials above the fourth rank in the capital. I will ask now, if you were ministers from the three places of the Political Affairs Hall, the Cabinet, and the Privy Council, how would you do things? What practices should you advise the king?"

Zhu Youxiao asked after he spoke.

None of the ministers dared to speak casually.

The main reason is that they felt that the pulse of His Majesty in front of them was really difficult to touch, and they could not know what His Majesty the Emperor actually meant.

He was secretly monitoring his ministers and not punishing them for his words, and he also discussed the ministers’ private words openly. Does His Majesty the Emperor know what he was scared to be like at this moment? Now he wants to discuss what practices he would advise the king after his promotion.

Zhu Youxiao first looked at Li Biao sitting outside: "Li Aiqing, tell me first, don't tell me that since you entered the officialdom, you have been an official in a daze, without thinking about the gains and losses of the government."

Li Biao had to stand up first and said to himself: "Since Your Majesty's attitude is unpredictable and unthinkable, I honestly say what I have in my heart. Anyway, it is not something I can decide whether to commit crimes or not. I just want to have a clear conscience."

So, Li Biao replied: "If you go to the center, if you are in the center, you should keep yourself clean and not form a party for personal gain. In the opinion of the minister, you cannot serve the king, and you cannot suspiciously. You should always check your character, identify loyalty and treacherous, and then take appropriate measures. If a spear in the hall rises and the palace is divided into different regions, it is not a blessing for the country, and peace should be used to cultivate the vitality of the country."

Zhu Youxiao nodded after listening.

Since the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, party struggles have never been interrupted. Even during his reign, Zhu Youxiao had more intense battles among court officials due to various reforms. Even several times, the emperor himself took the lead and pulled the straits. Otherwise, he would not have reversed the bad situation before. After all, according to the original inertia of the Ming Dynasty, Xiong Tingbi would be punished for party struggles, and the situation in Liaodong would deteriorate, so that Jiannu would not be destroyed as easily as it is now.

However, in essence, party struggles are impossible to avoid, because in essence they are fighting for interests.

Li Biao may not be willing to express the essence and pretend to be stupid, or perhaps he really doesn't understand the essence of it, so he only said that because of the increasingly fierce party struggles in the Ming Dynasty, he felt that as a central minister, he should try his best to eliminate the party struggles.

"According to my dear, civil and military officials should all be united in dealing with me?"

Zhu Youxiao didn't care what Li Biao thought, and asked this question directly.

After hearing this, Li Biao was like Wang Yongguang, and his face turned pale: "Your Majesty, I am not this. What I mean is that we should serve the king with sincerity and settle the affairs of the world for the king, rather than for our own selfishness! Please give your Majesty a clear guide!"

"I believe that what I said is not a lie, but it is also a pity that it is fake. How can this party fight be eliminated? When the tongue is still bitten by teeth, I can only say that it is just as much as possible, or that it is practical."

Zhu Youxiao replied with a smile.

Actual?

Not the reality just now?

Li Biao was a little embarrassed.

The literati and officials of this era received more education than political theory.

Therefore, unless they have been ups and downs in the officialdom for a long time, knowing the sufferings of the people, and have some ideas of reforming and eliminating evil, most of them have no clear political goals.

In particular, Li Biao was born in Qingliu. Since he was a Jinshi, he has been an official in the capital and has not been so great in his efforts to seek interests, so he has not participated in previous struggles. Now that the emperor asked him to tell him some practical political goals, he couldn't answer them.

Yuan Keli was a little anxious when he watched the hundreds of thousands of arrogant soldiers and generals who had been added to suppress the Eastern Capitols should be cut or reduced. How many miles should be built on the official roads, how many border walls should be built on the border towns, how much taxes should be increased in the court, how much arable land should be increased. At present, the pressure on the canal transportation has increased. Should we start shipping? Why don’t we know the answer to so many government affairs that need to be handled urgently?

Zhu Youxiao looked at Liu Hongxun for this reason: "Liu Aiqing, let's talk about it."

"When you come back to your Majesty, if you have any plans for the country, then you just want to completely eliminate the harm of clerks, students, and gentry through them. The first clerks are recommended here!

Because the local affairs involving the people are controlled by clerks, and the imperial court's government orders are also implemented by clerks. Clever clerks can even control officials. Although Your Majesty set up a Western factory, even if he opened a medical clinic, and even if he set up an Anti-Corruption Department in various places, he has not completely eliminated the harm of clerks!"

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor wanted to listen to the reality, Liu Hongxun directly expressed his thoughts.

Although he was also a Hanlin native, unlike Li Biao, he did not only focus on the court. During the Taichang period, when he was a Hanlin editor, he was on his way back to Beijing to host refugees, understand the people's conditions, and make plans to make preparations for governing the country in the future.

Now that I finally had the opportunity to discuss politics in front of the imperial court, I simply expressed my thoughts.

"Speak!"

Zhu Youxiao generals piled up his resume about Liu Hongxun before the case. While watching, he nodded in praise.

Historically, after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, a group of Han officials learned from their mistakes. For example, Gu Yanwu concluded that the three major harms of the Ming Dynasty were clerks, students, and gentry.

Gu Yanwu, who belonged to the scholar, could say that his students were one of the three major harms, and even said that gentry was one of the three major harms. It was obviously very high-level and objective in his thoughts.

Now Liu Hongxun also took the initiative to propose this, which naturally forced Zhu Youxiao to admit that there are also scholars whose heads are not blocked by their butts.

"There are also students. Although Your Majesty has abolished the regulations on exemption from students and prohibited associations from students, it is not prohibited from discussing politics in the end. Therefore, the public critics still make many public opinion members. Generally speaking, there will be students who are disturbing the people. As more and more scholars in the world, the number of students is becoming larger and larger. These people are unwilling to be poor and arrogant, and are surrounded by a large number of people because of their love of speaking. Therefore, they are most likely to cause trouble. They should be strictly regulated. Otherwise, if this continues, public opinion will be detrimental to the court."

"I risk my life to speak out. If you just slander Your Majesty, your Majesty can ignore it, and it will be fine. But if you completely deny the orthodox state of our Ming Dynasty and completely deny the necessity of a ruler, you will definitely lose your foundation for the country."

Liu Hongxun replied.

"Where is the squire?"

Zhu Youxiao continued to ask.

"The masters of their villages, clerks and students often use their power to fight against the government, and collude with them to gain benefits for the people and officials!"
