Chapter 1108 Reshaping the ideal
The Inspectorate and the Jinyiwei jointly enforced the law and took Huang Zongxi and others away. All the officials who were sitting there were shocked.
It is inevitable to form cliques in the officialdom.
After all, there are too many monks and fewer meat. If you want to gain a good position in the officialdom and sit firmly in front of you, you will inevitably defect to the faction and support your team.
This led to the factional struggles in the court, even within the same party.
Huang Zongxi was a tycoon of the Kuomintang. After Qian Qianyi died, he became the leader of the Donglin Group of the Kuomintang, representing the interests of the gentry and merchants in the south of the Yangtze River.
Now that Huang Zongxi has fallen, a large number of officials under him have basically come to an end in politics.
There are only a few seats in the cabinet, and how many people want to climb to this position.
It can be said that everyone who can climb up is not simple, there is a large group of officials and forces that support themselves.
Now that Huang Zongxi has fallen, it can be foreseeable that the officialdom will inevitably cause great turmoil.
This shocked everyone present and was also ready to move.
After all, this indicates that many people will get off the horse and there will be many places to be vacant, which is an opportunity for the rest.
At this time, after Zhao Ming made a speech, the conference continued, and cabinet members summarized the work of the last year, but the officials in the audience had no time to listen.
Everyone was wondering why Huang Zongxi stepped down and how he seized the opportunity to replace the position left by Huang Zongxi and others.
Zhao Ming looked at the officials below and exhaled a breath of turbid air. He observed the officials' reactions and looked at the expressions of some people, and was disappointed with the current situation.
This socialist party, which had been established for less than fifteen years, surprised him with the speed of decay. Most people had lost their ideals and became bureaucrats without ideals.
At this time, the cabinet ministers finished the report and Chen Mingyu immediately asked for instructions: "Regent, will you make a summary?"
Zhao Ming nodded slightly, and Chen Mingyu immediately slapped the aggro and said, "Quiet, please give me a lecture!"
The officials in the audience immediately fell silent and looked at Zhao Ming with great energy.
Under the leadership of Zhao Ming, the Ming Dynasty destroyed the Qing Dynasty, defeated the Zhou Kingdom, and reunified the world.
Nowadays, the territory of the Ming Dynasty is so large that it is far beyond all dynasties, and the economy is extremely developed, and the court taxes have reached 70 million silver dollars.
Zhao Ming has made great achievements in both military and economic terms, which can be said to be a great achievement in civil and military affairs, which has reached the extreme, making it extremely supportive of court officials and the people.
This made Zhao Ming absolutely authoritative, which was also the reason why Huang Zongxi and others, without a strong reaction, followed the Jinyiwei and the ministers participating in the conference were told that it was Zhao Ming's permission, but no one questioned it.
The regent is so powerful now that no matter it is a clean official, corrupt official, or a sloppy bureaucrat, they all support Zhao Ming, and no one wants to overthrow Zhao Ming.
Because of his prestige and achievements, people are reluctant to have such thoughts.
Zhao Ming sat upright and said in a deep voice: "Today, Huang Zongxi was taken away, I am very heartbroken. Since fifteen years ago, I formed a party with several members in Yangcheng Lake, our Guoshe Party restored the south and fought against the Central Plains in the north, defeated the external enemies, quelled the internal rebellion, and completed the reunification of the Ming Dynasty. This made some people satisfied, felt that it was time to enjoy it, and they became corrupt and degenerate!"
When many officials heard the words, they felt a little nervous. Many of them have indeed been somewhat content with the status quo in recent years, keen on official power and conspiracy, and thought about how to climb up.
After all, the current Ming Dynasty has no worse civil and military achievements than all dynasties, and even surpasses the so-called prosperous times in all dynasties.
Nowadays, most people in the Ming Dynasty think they are in a prosperous era. Since it is a prosperous era, it means that they have done well enough and naturally they have to reward themselves.
At this time, Zhao Ming suddenly slapped the table and scolded angrily: "Do you still know what you have pursued? As the ruling party of the Ming Dynasty, your pursuit is to live a good life by yourself? Do you just settle for the status quo and not be enterprising? If this is the case, I think it will take you for thirty years, and the National Social Security Party will be foul and will be over!"
At the conference, everyone was silent and terriblely quiet.
Chen Mingyu sweated on his forehead, "What the Regent said is very true. There are still many members of the community, and he has indeed relaxed!"
Zhao Ming glanced at him, then knocked on the table and said, "Now, I would like to ask you a question. Do you want to make money, be arrogant, or be willing to plead for the people? I have some ideals. If it is to make money, I suggest you go to business. If you want to plead for the people, be ambitious and reshape your children. If you want to plead for the people, be ideals and create an unprecedented great era, you must cheer me up and reshape your faith!"
Zhao Ming was silent for a moment and continued: "Now, I believe that you can spend enough money as long as you don't go to Qinhuai River every day. It's okay to marry a few young concubines. But I want to ask you, do you only have this material desire and no spiritual pursuit? Don't you want every Ming people to live a good life and make the Ming Dynasty the greatest country?"
Zhao Ming glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Don't think it's difficult to achieve this. Now, outside the Ming Dynasty, there is still vast land waiting for us to explore. The whole world has enough resources to allow every Ming people to live a prosperous life. Steam engines, steam ships, textiles, and smelting technologies are also breaking through. Not to mention anything else, just say that this National Society Building can be successfully built, which means cement and new construction technology. After these things are promoted, each of them can improve the quality of life of the people! I have said so much, just hope that you don't settle for the status quo and have ideals!"
Many members fell into deep thoughts. To be honest, their current material life can indeed satisfy them, and they should indeed have some spiritual pursuits.
If they only pursue material desires, then they will be no different from most ordinary people.
Chen Mingyu hurriedly expressed his opinion, "I am willing to follow the regent and let the people live a good life!"
The officials present also expressed their opinions, "My ministers and others are willing to follow the Regent."
