- Xie Qian was extremely unwilling to admit it in his heart.
He is a man of traditional Confucian origin and is knowledgeable. He naturally believes deeply in Confucianism.
But as a cabinet minister, he clearly knows everything that Ming Dynasty has experienced over the years.
In the previous Ming Dynasty, Emperor Hongzhi did exactly what the civil servants arranged him to do. He was very diligent and loved the people like a son. He was close to virtuous ministers and far away from treacherous sycophants. He was much better than his father Ming Xianzong.
But the Ming Dynasty is still the same Ming Dynasty. It is not that it is any stronger than the Ming Xianzong, but it has become weaker.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT out of the Ming Dynasty, at least the border defense was guaranteed. The Tatars could not go south to rob the border residents every year.
But in the Hongzhi Dynasty, the food should be paid instead of silver. The food needs of the border troops could not be guaranteed, the border defenses were empty, and the Tatars went south to plunder and detain customs every year.
When there was a famine, the imperial court had no money or food to provide relief, so people died of hunger all over the land, people exchanged their children for food, and bandits broke out everywhere.
The Japanese pirates along the southeast coast repeatedly invaded the border, and the chieftains in the southwest were very dishonest, which could be described as internal and external troubles. However, everyone still wanted to praise Emperor Hongzhi and praise the so-called Hongzhi ZTE. At this time xi*nd*i*ngd*i*anxs w . com Zhang Si
??Looking at the Ming Dynasty now, it has long been free of worries. The vast grasslands in the north have turned into the horse farms and meat warehouses of the Ming Dynasty. The grassland people who made people laugh have become good at singing, dancing and hospitable.
The people are rich, the court is rich, the Ming army is strong and sweeping across the four directions, and all nations come to court, the rich lands in all directions belong to our Ming Dynasty and become the cradle of our Chinese descendants.
Such a huge contrast makes Xie Qian often think about what went wrong?
Why the set of things that I have always believed in not only failed to achieve the effect of enriching the country and strengthening the people, but the set of things implemented by Liu Jin made the Ming Dynasty rich and powerful, unprecedentedly powerful and wealthy.
¡°It¡¯s time to go home and retire.¡±
Xie Qian sighed and retracted his thoughts.
"Father~"
At this time, Xie Qian¡¯s sons Xie Zheng and Xie Pi walked in. 强牺 xindingdianxsw.com 读୲ 6
"Is there any news?"
Xie Qian looked at his two sons. Xie Qian had six sons in his life. All six sons were very promising, especially the second son Xie Pi. There are only four cases. The first one is Wang Hua and Wang Shouren and his son.
"Father, I have inquired clearly. Today, the Holy Father has summoned the cabinet ministers Liu and Li, the British Duke Zhang Mao, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs Minister Liu Jin to pay a private visit incognito."
Xie Zheng replied.
"Alas~"
¡°It seems that if you don¡¯t want to go home to retire, you have to go home to retire.¡±
Xie Qian sighed after hearing this and said helplessly.
"Father, you are also the current cabinet minister after all. How could the Holy One do this to you~"
Xie Pi looked very angry. Xie Qian was still the elder of the pavilion. If anything happened in the past, Emperor Hongzhi would always take Xie Qian with him. It would be indispensable.
Whether it¡¯s a small meeting in the Chancery¡¯s study room or a private visit with Emperor Hongzhi, Xie Qian will always be with him. This has been a habit for many years.
This has been the case since Xie Qian was appointed as a lecturer in the early years of Hongzhi, and it has never changed.
But now, Emperor Hongzhi went out for a private visit incognito. Three cabinet ministers brought two of them with him, as well as Zhang Mao and Liu Jin, but they did not bring you Xie Qian. This embarrassed Xie Qian.
"You can't blame the Holy One. It's me who let the Holy One down."
Xie Qian shook his head slightly. He clearly knew why Emperor Hongzhi didn't take him.
"The way of governing the country that I have always believed in is completely contrary to the path taken by the Ming Dynasty today. It is out of tune and it is only a matter of time that I will not be welcomed by the emperor."
"But fortunately you are still young. As long as you study hard and do well, you may not be able to leave your name in history in the future."
Looking at his son, Xie Qian was rarely pleased.
His six sons are all very promising.
??Historically, his eldest son Xie Zhengguan was a member of the Ministry of Rites, Wailang, and his second son, Xie Piguan, was appointed Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Personnel, and presented gifts to the Minister of Rites.
The third son, Xie Dou, was promoted to the left assistant minister of Dali Temple, and the fourth son, Xie Gen, adopted his younger brother Xie Di as his queen."That's all I can do. I write to Xie Zhi and tell him to find ways to be self-sufficient as much as possible. In addition, I will write to the Governor of South Africa, Taiping Marquis Du Mingen, and ask him to take care of me."
Xie Qian nodded slightly. He couldn't raise enough money in a short time, so he could only let Xie Zhi find a way first.
"Tomorrow morning, I will prepare to ask the emperor to return home for retirement. From now on, you must be more careful and cautious when doing things in the court."
Then Xie Qian took out the resignation letter he had written and said to his son.
"Father, has it really come to this?"
Xie Pi asked quickly after hearing this.
Although I had known for a long time that my father wanted to retire, he had never had to retire before, so he was still able to continue.
And with the big tree of Xie Qian, it will be even smoother for these brothers to serve as officials in the court.
Now that Xie Qian is going back to his hometown to live in seclusion, this means that Xie Qian will no longer be protecting them from the wind and rain, and it will not be so easy to get promoted in the future.
Although Xie Qian still has many old friends and the like, all over the government and the public, who doesn¡¯t know the principle of tea cooling when people leave?
"Yes, father, please think twice. You are only in your early sixties and your body is very healthy. You can continue to do it, and you are very likely to make further progress."
Xie Zheng also said anxiously.
Zhida org.com Zhixiao. "There is no room for maneuver. I just asked you to inquire for confirmation. This has lost the trust of the Holy One. As a cabinet minister, there is no need for me to continue doing this."
"I have made up my mind, don't try to persuade me anymore."
