Iron Dynasty - Chapter 1061
Ge House.
Ge Yiren slammed the newspaper to the ground and stomped heavily.
He thought that the death of Wang Chengye yesterday would make Xiao Ming reconsider the harm caused by this decree, but he did not expect that Xiao Ming would be so decisive. He still announced the decree this morning.
“Elder Ge, see it, the emperor has made it clear that people will not survive.” A middle-aged man in his forties is drinking morning tea beside Ge Yiren, with a hint of sarcasm on his face. .
Ge Yiren squinted at the middle-aged man. This man is his old friend from the south. He was also a famous Confucian in the south, but his status plummeted after the introduction of Neo-Confucianism in the empire.
Later in life, he arrived in Qingzhou, saying that he wanted to study Neo-Confucianism with him, so he took it under his command and arranged for him a school to teach Neo-Confucianism.
“So what? This world is his. What he says is what he says, who dares not follow.” Ge Yiren said angrily.
Although he is in the cabinet, he is the one with the lowest status and the least real power in the cabinet.
Other people are in power, in charge of industry, economy, and government, but his jurisdiction is only the world’s Confucian school, responsible for overthrowing the Confucianism he has studied for most of his life and promoting new Confucianism.
The most important thing is that the more New Confucianism is promoted, the more he understands one thing, that is, his status is getting lower and lower.
Everyone in Confucianism was highly respected in the past, and the emperors of the past dynasties almost invited them to the court as officials, and did not dare to offend them easily.
The officials in the court did not dare to make trouble in front of him. It can be said that even if they are not in the court, they have a great influence on the court.
But New Confucianism is not the case at all, because this is a pure doctrine. It no longer has the power to influence state affairs and govern the country. It is far behind Confucianism.
At this time, Ge Yi, who thought he only needed to change the soup but not the medicine, suddenly realized that he had fallen into the pit Xiao Ming dug.
“So this is the harm of the supreme imperial power.” Ren He said lazily.
Ge Yiren frowned, “What do you say?”
Taking a sip of tea, Ren He said: “In the past few years, I used to bridge the trade between Western businessmen and domestic businessmen. I have a little understanding of the imperial power of their country. Although their country also has an emperor, their emperor cant Its up to you to be foolish.”
Ge Yiren heard the words and suddenly warned: “How do you sound familiar to me?”
“Of course you are familiar, because the Merchants Council used to say that before. They asked to restrict the emperor’s rights, but it was a pity that Xiao Ming was eventually annihilated.” Ren He said with a smile.
“Bold.” Ge Yiren almost jumped up like a cat with its tail stepped on. This merchant council is a heresy. Anything that touches the merchant council will be unlucky. He said: “Ren He, I pity you for your desolation. Only then will you take you in and give you a bite to eat, but I didn’t expect you to harm me.
Ren He also put aside his smile at this time. He stood up and faced Ge Yiren: “Brother Ge, you don’t have to test each other. If I hurt you, why wait until now, just tell the truth about the last secret melodies. This is the Confucian school’s private goods.”
Ge Yiren’s complexion changed, then smiled, “The old man is just a joke, just a joke.”
Renhe sat down again, and said at this moment: “You and I have known each other for many years, how can I not know what you think now? Now that this decree is implemented, you Ge family may gradually disappear from the court.”
After a pause, he said: “In recent years, the emperor has issued a lot of such decrees. These decrees have made the empire a lot stronger, but they came at the expense of our interests. With the vast territory, we still cant get benefits from these lands. Isnt Brother Ge no complaints about these?”
Ge Yiren’s eyes were deep, and he said, “What if you are not reconciled? Now all officials praise him as the emperor of the ages.”
“Since we are the emperor of the ages, we shouldn’t be willful. Only by restricting imperial power can our interests be protected.” Ren He said.
“Limit the emperor’s power?” Ge Yiren suddenly laughed, “Are you talking about laughing? Who can restrict the emperor’s power in this empire?”
Renhe sneered, and he said: “This needs to be contested? Do you expect the emperor to limit his own rights? How did the parliaments of western countries come from? Don’t you never think about it?”
Ge Yiren was taken aback. In fact, with the empires foreign warfare, everyone has already known what Western countries look like.
They naturally know the current situation in countries around the world.
“This world is not only the West, and it turns out that the empire under the emperor is stronger than the West. How do you explain this?” Ge Yiren said.
“Because of technology, if the West also has empire-like technology, the empire may not be able to take advantage of European countries now.” Ren He bewitched.
Ge Yiren suddenly laughed at this time, “What is the purpose of your advocating European countries like this? Although the emperor’s decree has harmed the interests of many people, it is impossible for Ge Yiren to do things like eating inside and out~www. Wuxiaworld~ Ren He glanced at Ge Yiren somewhat unexpectedly. He smiled and said: “Brother Ge is joking. I am also a member of the empire. How can I do such a boneless thing? I am just for the empire. Ten thousand nobles regret it. Now that the implementation of the decree is a certainty, I am afraid your life will be difficult in the future. “
Speaking of this, Ge Yiren’s mood suddenly became bad, and now he was driven home by Xiao Ming in disguise, and his experience was basically exactly the same as Wang Chengye, which made him lose face.
When he thought of this, he felt that Ren He’s words were somewhat reasonable, “This decree will definitely make the nobles dissatisfied, but the emperor’s authority is too high, I am afraid that no one can stop it, and no one dares to stand out. “
Ren He saw that Ge Yirens expression eased, and he continued: “Brother Ge, there is no need to rush about this matter. Now that the imperial peoples wisdom has been opened up, you only need to use it for a little bit to achieve unexpected results. Ge is in the Confucian School The influence is huge, and you only need to continue to promote Neo-Confucianism. After these days of research, Brother Yu found that this Neo-Confucianism has made Xiao Ming, and he can also make him a cocoon. Only when the time is right, the joint nobles will be able to successfully restrict the imperial power. , So that each of his decisions must be approved by most nobles before they can be implemented.”
“Oh? Really?” Ge Yiren has never studied Neo-Confucianism seriously, and Ren He’s words surprised him a little.
“There is nothing wrong, if I don’t believe me, I can come one by one for Brother Ge, but before that, Brother Ge must calm down and let the nobles avoid conflict with the emperor.” Ren He said. )!!
