In essence, it is impossible to say that Kant's reforms are incorrect. The bad situation of the Qing Dynasty was obvious. Faced with the pressure of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, which was already breathing, could be overturned at any time. In this case, Kant's only way to save the Qing Dynasty was to change.

However, there are different ways to change. This is the reason why the so-called big steps will lead to the consequences. Kant was determined to imitate the Ming Dynasty to implement reforms, but did not take into account the actual situation of the Qing Dynasty. In addition, the Qing Dynasty is now in the Western Regions, and the situation in the Western Regions was far more complicated than that of the Central Plains. It would be strange if there was no problem in forcibly implementing reforms.

Throughout history, reforms from all dynasties are not uncommon, including Shang Yang's reform, Wang Anshi's reform in the Song Dynasty, Zhang Juzheng's reform in the Ming Dynasty, etc.

Among these reforms, Shang Yang's reforms were the most thorough, and they created the transformation of Qin, thus laying the foundation for the later strengthening of Qin to unify the world. Zhang Juzheng's reforms were slightly weak, and although the national strength increased greatly during the Ming Dynasty for a period of time, the reforms and political power were destroyed after Zhang Juzheng's death. As for Wang Anshi's reforms, both the reforms and Wang Anshi's own results were not very good. Not only did the reforms end without success, but Wang Anshi also withdrew from the political arena due to the failure of the reforms, and thus ended in depression.

In history, there are many other reforms, but very few can really succeed. In Zhu Yicheng's view, Kant's reforms are simply impossible to succeed. Innate shortcomings and internal and external troubles, even if Kant's determination is great, it will be extremely difficult.

Unless Kant is given at least five years of peace, so that he can have a certain foundation to promote it vigorously, and constantly try and make mistakes, there may be a glimmer of hope.

But does Kant have these five years now? The answer is naturally impossible. The Ming Dynasty can move west at any time with its eye. What Kant lacks is time. In addition, Kant is very talented and unlucky, so it would be strange if he takes the reform for granted, but it would be strange if he does not fail.

In the side hall, Zhu Yicheng discussed with Jiang Jin and others about sending troops in the Western Regions, and soon confirmed the matter.

Time is tight, and Yue Zhongqi needs to order immediately, so Zhu Yicheng does not delay the military service office. After the negotiation, they immediately ask them to go and do it quickly.

After Jiang Jin and others left, Zhu Yicheng continued to review the memorials, but after reading it, Xiao Jiangzi came to report that it was Wang Wenqing, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, who asked for a meeting.

Wang Wenqing is from Hunan and a Jinshi who was born in Yongye for six years. He is very talented and not only writes good articles, but also has profound research on the study of mind and nature.

After Wang Wenqing became a Jinshi, Zhu Yicheng summoned him to the imperial court for questions and answers. He was quite satisfied with Wang Wenqing's knowledge and directly awarded the official position of Wang Wenqing's Secretariat.

The Secretariat of the Central Secretariat, this official rank is not high, it is only a seventh rank, but its status is not low.

To put it bluntly, the position of the Central Secretariat is the emperor's secretary. He deals with some tedious tasks such as copying official documents and making fortunes for the emperor on weekdays.

From this point of view, Zhu Yicheng's appointment of Wang Wenqing as an official was an promotion of his great importance, and he valued his literary talent and ability. As long as Wang Wenqing sat peacefully in the position of Zhongshu Sheren for a few years, he would either enter the ministry or go straight to the Military Affairs Office to become a fourth- and fifth-rank official. His career was smooth, and he would have to survive for more than ten years. There would definitely be no problem with being a high-ranking minister.

But no one expected that Wang Wenqing was not enthusiastic about the official position of Zhongshu Sheren, and after only a few months of being the one, he proposed to resign to Zhu Yicheng. Zhu Yicheng talked with Wang Wenqing once, and after listening to Wang Wenqing's thoughts, he happily agreed to resign from Zhongshu Sheren, and then transferred him to the Hanlin Academy to serve.

Because Wang Wenqing was meticulous in studying science in the Hanlin Academy and was passionate about history, Zhu Yicheng later promoted Wang Wenqing to the Hanlin Academy and asked him to preside over the study of history.

"My dear Wang Wenqing has met Your Majesty..." Wang Wenqing is in his early forties this year, and it is the time when a man is most abundant.

"Tingjian has been here, I haven't seen each other for many days, so there is no need to be too polite, sit down!" Zhu Yicheng greeted Wang Wenqing with a happy face. Zhu Yicheng was much more casual than other court officials. First, Wang Wenqing was once Zhu Yicheng's Zhongshu Sheren, and although he was short, he got along well. Second, Wang Wenqing was not very enthusiastic about official positions and had always been meticulous in studying history and studying. Such people naturally should respect them more.

"Thank you, Your Majesty..." Wang Wenqing still solemnly bowed to Zhu Yicheng before he sat down. Compared to other ministers, many of them were trembling when they saw Zhu Yicheng. Even if they sat half of their butt, Wang Wenqing was not like this. He behaved in moderation and was sitting steadily.

After Xiao Jiangzi served tea, Zhu Yicheng asked Wang Wenqing what happened to him and whether he had encountered any problems in his study of history.

Wang Wenqing didn't go around the circle and told Zhu Yicheng straightforwardly that there were indeed many problems encountered in the process of studying history, especially many incomplete information, which led to the progress being unsmooth. He had no choice but to come to Zhu Yicheng.

"I remember that all the documents in the Danei collection have been handed over to you. Isn't it enough?" Zhu Yicheng asked.

It would be fine if Zhu Yicheng didn't say this, but Wang Wenqing was furious as soon as he said this. He immediately told Zhu Yicheng that Danei had indeed handed over many old documents and manuscripts, including some documents and materials about the history of the Ming Dynasty compiled during the Qing Dynasty. However, there were very few of these things that could be really useful. Wang Wenqing was not clear about it before, but after real reviewing history, he discovered that the Qing Dynasty had privately destroyed many documents and materials from the Ming Dynasty in the past few decades, and at the same time tampered with many, which made his work difficult.

"Your Majesty, the Qing Dynasty is extremely shameless. The archives hidden in the Great Palace are not only half of them destroyed, but even the remaining ones have tampered with them. Not to mention the so-called herbal scripts of the pre-Ming Dynasty revisions. In my opinion, it is just nonsense and shameless!"

Wang Wenqing was so angry that he even took out two volumes of manuscripts from his arms to show Zhu Yicheng. He pointed directly at the key parts of the manuscript and shook his head, beat his chest and stamped his feet, and cursed the manhunt for shamelessness.

Zhu Yicheng took it and looked at it carefully, and frowned a few times. Wang Wenqing said it was right. Not only were there any modifications on it, but there were also tampering records written on the side. These things were clearly deliberately done by the Qing Dynasty to smear the Ming Dynasty. Although Zhu Yicheng heard about this in later generations, he did not pay much attention at the beginning. After all, from later generations, Qianlong did a lot of this thing, and now the Qing Dynasty was replaced by the Ming Dynasty, which rose again in less than a hundred years. It seems that it is much better than later generations.
