In the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, Jin Yiwei commanded Jiang Zhen to denounce Lan Yu's rebellion, and after being imprisoned, the prison said that Cao Zhen, Marquis of Jingchuan, Zhang Yi, Marquis of Heshou, Zhu Shou, Marquis of Dingyuan, Wang Bi, He Rong, Dongxiao Bo, Zhan Hui, Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, and Fu Youwen, the Servant of the Ministry of Households, rebelled, and planned to take advantage of Zhu Yuanzhang's time to launch a rebellion. Zhu Yuanzhang then punished Lanyu and others, and led to the vines, from the prince to the civil and military officials, about 20,000 people were killed. Zhu Yuanzhang also issued an edict to the world, and stipulated that the book should be "Records of Rebel Ministers". Those who are listed in the "Records of Rebel Ministers" have a duke, thirteen marquises, and two uncles. The killing can be described as extremely heavy. In Zhu Yuanzhang's life dictionary, there are no things in the east, whether it is the hero Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng, or Tartar, he has endured it and cleaned it up one by one, Mencius is just a scholar, he has not had to endure for many years, Zhu Yuanzhang occasionally read "Mencius" in the fifth year of Hongwu, when he saw the paragraph "The king regards the minister as a mustard, then the minister regards the king as an enemy", he couldn't help but be furious, and scolded: "Make this old man today, I would rather be spared!" On the same day, he ordered Mencius to be expelled from the Temple of Literature and did not deserve it. He also said to the ministers that if there is any admonition, "it will be judged as great disrespect." At that time, all the ministers did not dare to express dissent, only Qian Tang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was not afraid of offending the emperor, he stepped forward again, resisted the omission, he said: "The minister died for Meng Ke, and there is more glory in death." At that time, the ministers of the DPRK and China all sweated for Qian Tang. Zhu Yuanzhang, who was full of anger, wanted to take Qian Tang to open the knife, but seeing his sincere attitude and perseverance, he let him go.

But he seems to have underestimated the power of Mencius's disciples, as soon as this move came out, the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu Deng panicked, everyone was a disciple of Confucius and Mencius, how could the emperor agree to suppress his teacher.

First of all, the Tai students of the Guozijian knelt in front of the noon gate, and Qian Tang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, exposed his chest, pulled the coffin into the inner hall with a car, and was hit by an arrow on the spot, but Qian Tang still said loudly: "I can die to protect the reputation of Mencius." Even if you die, it's glorious!"

Zhu Yuanzhang, who has always been not afraid of the sky and the earth, finally felt resistance, it seems that it is not so easy for this scholar to clean up, seeing that if he continues to get it, it will inevitably cause opposition from the world's scholars, and his country still needs these people to help govern, although he is eloquent and strategic, but he does not dare to be the enemy of the world's scholars at the same time, so he ordered the imperial doctor to treat Qian Tang's arrow wounds.

Seeing that the emperor's tone was relaxed, the students did not dare to make too much trouble, and the ministers went to the book one after another, asking for a change of will, and Qin Tianjian also said: "Yingxing is confused." It is a harbinger of the wrath of the heavens, is there some policy measure that makes the heavens feel uneasy?" Under the pressure of all parties, Zhu Yuanzhang finally stopped suppressing Mencius, and a year later he issued an edict saying: "Mencius repels heresies, distinguishes heresies, invents the way of the sages, and reverts to it." "Put Mencius's tablet back in the Temple of Literature, and enjoy it as before. However, Zhu Yuanzhang is still haunted by Mencius's sharp remarks, he is afraid that "Mencius" will teach all the world's readers badly, and he is even more afraid that the idea of "the people are precious, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which is not conducive to the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang is a resolute person, and he immediately convened the ministers to discuss, at first the ministers did not agree, but seeing the emperor's resolute attitude, for fear that the emperor would completely suppress Mencius, after thinking about it, he finally agreed to delete part of Mencius's remarks.

In the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Liu Sanwu, a scholar of Hanlin, and others to abridged "Mencius". Liu Sanwu figured out the emperor's meaning, deleted the 85 "problematic" contents of "Mencius", accounting for almost one-third of the book, and compiled the rest of the content into the book "Mencius Verses". After Liu Sanwu completed the task of deleting Meng, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately issued an edict, stipulating that "from now on, within the eighty-five articles, the scholars do not take propositions, and the imperial examination does not take scholars, but the study of sages and sages (referring to the "Mencius Verses") is the basis", since then the book of "Mencius" of the Ming Dynasty is not the whole book, and the book in the hands of the middle-aged man is the Song version of "Mencius", which has some value.

The middle-aged man flipped through it a few times with restlessness, and read it aloud: "Mencius said: "Benevolence is honor, and unkindness is humiliation." Now the evil humiliation is unkind, and it is the same hatred of wetness and dwelling. If it is evil, it is not as noble as a nobleman. The sage is in power, the capable is in office, the country is leisure, and the time is clear about its political punishment, although the big country will be afraid. Poetry cloud: The sky is not rainy, withdraw the mulberry soil, prepare for the household, and now the people may dare to insult. Confucius said: For this reason, the poet knows that he can govern his country, who dares to insult him? Blessings and misfortunes are all those who seek their own blessings. Poetry Yun: Yongyan is worthy of life, and he seeks more blessings. Taijia said: Heaven is evil, it is still violated, self-inflicted, and you cannot live. This is also ——?"

I don't know if I don't agree with these words, or I don't like to read poetry books, but after reading it a few times, the middle-aged man put down the book in his hand with some impatience, and said dissatisfiedly: "I think that my dignified Ming clan and the second son of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di were forced to recite what bird poems here, it's really hateful?"

The middle-aged man's voice was very loud, and the tea set on the coffee table rattled.

This person is not an outsider, it is the second son of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, the same brother of Ming Renzong Zhu Gaochi, and the uncle of the current prince Zhu Gaochu of Han.

Since the Yongle year failed to fight for the throne, he has been in Le'an Prefecture, for the failure of the year, has been secretly planning, hoping that one day he can recapture what belongs to him, for this reason he has been in Le'an Prefecture Taoguang over the years, the strategists around him said that his failure was not his father's partiality, in fact, the literati were too powerful, they tied the Yongle Emperor with Taoism, so that the Yongle Emperor had to make his brother the crown prince.

This point, if in the early years of Yongle, he did not believe it, he was brave all his life, followed his father to fight against the army, accumulated military exploits, and was a man like his father, and he also said to him with joy on his face: "I am exhausted, my son should fight bravely again." Then he stroked his back and said, "Work hard! In his opinion, the world should be fought by force, so he participated in the battle of Baigou River, and led the elite cavalry to charge the battle and kill the governor Qu Neng. Later, Zhu Di was defeated in Dongchang (now Liaocheng, Shandong), and the general Zhang Yu was killed in battle. He led the army to arrive, repelled the southern army, rescued Zhu Di, this pile of military exploits, so that his father turned defeat into victory many times, and finally in the fourth year of Jianwen, his father personally led the army, crossed the river from Guazhou, Zhenjiang defended the city, Zhu Di led the army straight to Jinling. On the 13th, they arrived at Jinling Jinchuan Gate, and Li Jinglong, who guarded Jinchuan Gate, and King Gu opened the door for Zhu Di to surrender. King Yan entered the capital, civil and military officials knelt down to greet the roadside, and the emperor was the emperor under the support of the ministers, which was the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, and the year name was Yongle. From the moment his father sat on the dragon chair, he became more and more convinced that this world could be conquered by strong force. It was at that moment that he believed that sooner or later he would be able to sit on that throne one day.

But the result was not as he expected, his brother was obese, incapacitated, always had to be supported by two chamberlains to act, and always stumbled, in his opinion he was just a waste, he was not qualified to compete with himself for the crown prince, he believed that the throne of the Ming Dynasty belonged to him.

But he was wrong, although his eldest brother was a waste, he was a descendant, and he was the son of Yan Shizi personally chosen by Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang for Zhu Di, and he was the legitimate heir to the throne, and the throne should be his eldest brother's.

"Is it because that waste was born earlier than himself, this world is his, if so, why did the Taitang Sect launch the Xuanwumen Rebellion, and did the evil thing of killing his eldest brother Li Jiancheng and his fourth brother Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, leaving a reputation for eternity, why did his father have to launch a four-year war of Jingjing, and why did he have to fight on the battlefield and make meritorious deeds? It can be seen that in this world, not everything is destined to be good, Tang Taizong killed his eldest brother Li Jiancheng, the crown prince, and Li Yuanji, the fourth brother, Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, and killed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's more than 100 cronies, and confiscated their family property from the government. Monks, nuns, and Taoist priests of both sexes should be dealt with in accordance with the original edict. All the affairs of the country, are at the disposal of the King of Qin, after which Li Shimin inherited the emperor's throne, is for Tang Taizong, the year name Zhenguan, since then to open up the territory, conquer the East Tu and Xue Yantuo, conquer Gaochang, Qiuzi, Tuyuhun, hit Goguryeo, set up four towns in Anxi, all ethnic groups get along harmoniously, respected by the people of all ethnic groups as the Khan, for the eternal emperor, his father Fengtian Jing, seized the throne of his nephew, these years set up a cabinet system, five times to conquer Mongolia, recover Annam (Jiaozhi), set up Nuer Gandu Division, the northwest set up Hami Wei ?? , sent Zheng He to the West, edited the "Yongle Canon", dredged the Grand Canal, moved the capital to Beijing, and created a prosperous era of Yongle.

He has always thought so, and he has done so, he used his prestige in the army, and successively befriended Qiu Fu, Wang Ning, the big figures in the army, as well as powerful figures such as Chen Yingdu Procuratorate and Ji Gang Jinyiwei, and suppressed the imperial brother many times, he thought that in the face of such a powerful force, his palace was completely vulnerable.
