Chapter 150 It turned out to be deceiving the emperor, and the emperor's teacher was beaten so badly!

  At this time, Sun Chengzong felt as if someone had slapped his face severely, and felt his face was very hot.

  He didn't expect that Gui Yingzhuo, a Qingliu official who made a big fanfare and threatened to die, was afraid of death in the end, and refused to die!

  Fortunately, he also personally said in front of his emperor's students that this Gui Yingzhuo is a rare and admonishing minister, and he will be the best candidate to take charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the future.

  But now, who would have thought that Gui Yingzhuo, who threatened to die, would be a person who is afraid of death and has no principles.

  How can Sun Chengzong not face pain?

  He even began to worry that his emperor's students would no longer believe in his words because of this.

  However, what Sun Chengzong also had to admit was that Gui Yingzhuo was really disappointing. Since he didn’t have the guts to remonstrate, why bother playing like this? What’s the difference between playing like this and a gambler?

  If His Majesty was really intimidated, he would have to keep his life alive in the end, but as it is now, His Majesty is not so easy to fool, wouldn't he lose his life in vain? It will also make His Majesty even more unwilling to trust these clear streams of himself!

   "It's really blinding!"

  Sun Chengzong slandered.

   Then, Sun Chengzong replied to Tianqi: "Your Majesty, I have to admit now that not everyone is a real Hai Rui, and the person who erected the memorial arch is not necessarily a real chaste woman."

   Tian Qi smiled and nodded: "Mr. is right!"

   "Your Majesty, I also believe that the one who barks the loudest is often the one who sells dog skin plaster. Now Gui Yingzhuo has proved this point again."

   Zhang Gui also said at this time.

But Sun Chengzong didn't want Tianqi to be completely disappointed in Qingliu because of this, so he still said: "Your Majesty, although Gui Yingzhuo is cunning and hypocritical, and is not a loyal minister, not all my Qingliu civil servants are like this. For example, Wu Xing, I have talked with him , I have also exchanged letters, this person is loyal to the emperor and loves the people, and has outstanding talents, His Majesty will see it with his own eyes when he visits Yongcheng in the south."

  Tian Qi said after hearing this: "I would like to believe what Mr. said. My imperial ministers are all capable officials. Even if they are relegated to local officials to be close to the people, they can still achieve remarkable achievements! I really don't want to be disappointed."

   "No! Don't worry, Your Majesty. It's not just those who are valued by Uncle Zhang Guo are reliable."

  Sun Chengzong replied.

  Zhang Gui just smiled slightly.

   Within a few days, Apocalypse officially set off on his southern tour.

  Zhang Gui and Sun Chengzong and other civil and military retinues.

  As soon as he left the capital, especially after leaving Zhangjiawan, Tongzhou, Tianqi discovered that the living conditions of the people at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty were even worse than he had imagined.

  Seeing the piles of bones piled up near the official road, and the refugees staggering north along the canal to Gyeonggi stretching for miles, Tianqi felt quite heavy.

   "It's no wonder they don't want me to go out of Beijing to tour the south. It's because they are afraid that I will see what the real Ming Dynasty looks like."

   Tian Qi couldn't help but say something in the chariot.

Yuan Keli, who was in the same retinue, said: "Your Majesty, if it wasn't because you issued an edict and didn't notify the local officials to welcome you, I'm afraid you wouldn't see these things, you would only see that everyone has clothes to wear, and their faces are ruddy, Long live the mountain call; this is now His Majesty's decree that he is not allowed to notify the place, so they didn't have time to clear the road before they could see such a scene."

  Tianqi asked Sun Chengzong after hearing this: "Is this really the case?"

  Sun Chengzong nodded.

  Tian Qi sighed after hearing this: "It's my fault!"

   "Your Majesty has only been on the throne for six years, and the world's people's livelihood is so poor that it is not objective to count it on Your Majesty."

   Zhang Gui said a word of comfort at this time.

  Sun Chengzong also comforted: "Uncle Guo is right. Your Majesty does not need to blame yourself too much. As long as your Majesty is a good minister and a humble person, the Ming Dynasty will be prosperous."

   "Who is a good minister and who is a villain?"

   Tianqi nodded, and then asked this question on purpose.

  Sun Chengzong said: "A person like Wu Xing is a good minister!"

"Your Majesty is determined to innovate and has the heart to rule. Therefore, I have carefully thought about what kind of new policy the world should implement. Based on my humble opinion, I may send many Hanlin officials to experience in places to understand the people's sentiments, and then to be capable. Correct the atmosphere in the officialdom, and I will be able to sort out the current problems for His Majesty!"

  Qian Longxi also followed suit and said: "Indeed, as Sun Gong said, Your Majesty, Wu Xingneng has spread his reputation far and wide for governing a county. It can be seen that his ability is not comparable to that of an official!"

   "Yes! Your Majesty don't need to be too sad. These places starved to death because of the ineffective governance of local officials. Maybe when you go to Yongcheng, you will be able to see what great governance is!"

  Shangshu Zhou Yingqiu also followed suit.

  Seeing these civil servants bragging about Wu Xing so much, Zhang Gui couldn't help but give a blank look.

   Is Wu Xing really that good?

   Can we really moisten things silently, and carry out the New Deal so that everyone has no complaints?

  I only know that the New Deal is a reform, a reform!

  Reform means harming the interests of some people, but harming the interests of some people is not a dinner party. The party that is sacrificed cannot willingly give up the benefits, unless the party that is sacrificed is the weaker party!

   Seeing Zhang Gui's disdainful face, Sun Chengzong couldn't help asking: "Why, Uncle Guo doesn't want to believe that Wu Xing is really a good minister?"

   "I still say the same thing, most of the people who shout loudly in the market are selling dog skin plasters."

   Zhang Gui replied.

"Uncle Guo, you can't generalize. Do you mean that Wu Xing, like Xia Yunyi, must use cruel officials and kill people to carry out the New Deal? , so that the New Deal can be carried out without hurting people's harmony?"

  Qian Longxi also asked.

  Zhang Gui nodded: "That's right, I really don't believe that all gentry will willingly cooperate with the imperial court's new policy."

   "Uncle Guo still has a deep prejudice against my scholar-bureaucrats!"

Seeing this, Sun Chengzong sighed, and said: "At the beginning of human beings, nature is good. What's more, the gentry are all scholars. As long as they are educated with loyalty, integrity and shame, they may not understand the difficulties of the court. They must implement the New Deal without complaints. , is not a problem, the first thing is that an official must be close to the people and govern with virtue."

   "What Grandpa Sun said is absolutely true!"

  Qian Longxi also echoed.

  These civil servants do believe more in moral governance.

   Sun Chengzong is not the only one.

Sun Chengzong also continued to teach in front of the emperor at this time: "Your Majesty, Wu Xing also told the minister in the letter that after he arrived in Yongcheng, he first promoted moral education, advocated the establishment of schools, and then made the scholars and the people understand etiquette. , I knew he was doing the right thing. Now it seems that he was able to make the Yongcheng government smooth and harmonious, so that when the new policy was implemented, there would be no voice of public complaints, all because of this!"

Qian Longxi interrupted at this time with a look of contempt: "It's not like Xia Yunyi in Suizhou, who didn't first rule by virtue and honor the corporals, but directly enforced the New Deal, ordered the gentry to be like the head of Guizhou, and even wantonly treated the gentry with severe punishments. , How can this win the hearts of the people? Even if the New Deal is implemented because of this, it must be that the people's livelihood in Suizhou New Deal is withered, like a pool of stagnant water!"

   Tian Qi only squinted his eyes, letting the civil servants in front of him chatter.

  As a technical geek, whether one thing is worth trusting or not, he cares more about the actual results he sees.

   On this day, Tian Qi and his party finally arrived at Guide Mansion.

   What Tian Qi didn't expect was that once he entered the Guide Mansion, there were more refugees.

  Especially when a luxury convoy like his passed by, many begging people, people who sold their sons and daughters, flocked over, hoping that these dignitaries would show favor once.

   Seeing this, Tianqi asked Wei Zhongxian to summon an elderly refugee: "Old man, where are you from?"

  The refugee lowered his head and replied: "My lord, the grassroots are from Suizhou."

   "From Suizhou?"

  Tian Qi was a little surprised, and asked, "Are you all from Suizhou?"

  The few refugees who followed all agreed in a small voice: "Yes!"

   Zhang Gui was quite surprised after hearing this: "How is this possible?"

  At this time, Qian Longxi first laughed happily: "It seems that Xia Zhizhou, who has been praised by Uncle Guo, is not good at governing the people!"

   As he said that, Qian Longxi gave a wink to an accompanying speaker, and the speaker immediately said: "Your Majesty, I want to join Xia Zhizhou! And Uncle Guo is lying and deceiving the king!"

   "Uncle Guo may have been deceived by Xia Zhizhou, but he won't really want to deceive the king."

  Sun Chengzong said a good word for Zhang Gui, and said: "But Xia Yunyi should have indeed done something to deceive the emperor."

  Tian Qi was also a little embarrassed at this time.

  Zhang Gui said to Tianqi: "Your Majesty, please let me say a few words to them."

   Apocalypse nodded.

   "Since you are from Suizhou, come with us, we will take you back to Suizhou!"

   Zhang Gui replied at this time.

  At this time, the oldest refugee hurriedly knelt down: "My lord, please forgive me! We are not from Suizhou. If you take us to Suizhou, we won't be able to survive!"

   "Aren't you from Suizhou?"

   Tianqi asked in surprise after hearing this.

   At this time, another first-class citizen replied: "Yes! We are actually from Yongcheng, and we were forced to leave our hometown and go into exile by that dog official Wu Xing!"
