After Mao Tai left, Zhu Yunwen, a lonely man, was once again left in the Prudential Hall of Nuoda.

From the backlog of questions on the table, he found a copy submitted by the General Administration, and Zhu Yunwen took a closer look at it with his hand on the imperial case.

Shuangxi glanced at it, and there was only a few sentences in the title book: 'This letter was delivered by the steward of the Shoufu Mansion, and the secretary was instructed to forward it to the imperial front', and Zhu Yunwen mainly saw the letter in the middle.

Which letter did Tyrant Zhao write to Zhu Yunwen?

"Your Majesty, it's not early, the slave and maid call the Shang Diet Bureau to arrange lunch?"

After reading Zhu Yunwen's letter for more than ten minutes, Shuangxi asked a tentative question, which woke the former up.

"I'm worried about where I can eat now."

Sighing, Zhu Yunwen suddenly handed the letter to Shuangxi: "You claim to be smart, what can you see from this letter?" ”

Shuangxi hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to take the letter, and smiled at the end: "In front of Your Majesty, where is the slave worthy of the word smart." ”

After humbling himself, he will look at it.

"The elder of the pavilion is above, and the lower official Qufu County has ordered Kong Xifan to respect the front.

Zhanxinan:

Since the first year of Jianwen in June Zun and the lower officials hurriedly met so far, there have been two years of spring and autumn have not met, the old Wenhua of the cabinet is busy with state affairs, the lower officials wanted to visit Beijing, because of trivial matters can not make the trip, deeply regrettable. Therefore, it is only sent by the book trust, wishing for well-being, and chatting about comfort.

Under the post of Qilu in the affairs of Qufu and Zongmiao, the day is not slack, lest I live up to the grace of the emperor and the Holy Father, and bear the hope of the students and the people of the world, fortunately thanks to the blessing of Emperor Taizu Gao and the ancestors of the ancestors, there is no mistake, everything goes smoothly.

However, in recent years, there have been occasional bandits and thieves in Shandong, and the number of them is more than 3,000. Plundering the people and being a sufferer.

The imperial court ordered the suppression of bandits and wanted to restore Taiping. However, the bandits are cunning and good at concealing things, and they also have the likes of Qi Wanglang and Yang Wen in vain and neglect state affairs, so that they have not been able to calm down the bandits for many years.

The king of Qi was originally a clan, but he did not think about the local protection of the people, he was incompetent and angry, and raised troops everywhere to quell the civil strife, causing the land of Qilu to rise in all directions, and the people were panicked and the ancestors could not sleep. The temple of Fuxian County is in danger of being destroyed by swords.

Local affairs, do not dare to conceal and delay reporting, the lower officials are shallow and often worry about state affairs, see that there are hidden dangers must be large and small and respectful, Wangge Lao knows.

There is also a canal to the end of the year, I am in Shandong, but the canal must be built with the embankment, otherwise it is the flood season, I am afraid that there is a disaster of flooding the gold mountain, this matter is simply in the heart of the emperor, the embankment is repaired, only because of the limited manpower leads to the slow construction period, close to the 39th only afraid that it is stranded and tired, Wangge Lao Song please go to the front of the emperor, and send more people into Lu, auxiliary fortifications, hoping to complete the work before the spring flood in April next year, and eliminate the disaster.

Shandong's affairs are uneven, the court is lightless, the ancestors are faceless, after the post is the official of the imperial court and the saint, every time he looks at it, he is anxious, the book is empty, and he asks the pavilion to play the holy Shandong affairs.

Xiaguan Kong Xi Fan was asked again

On October 21 of the third year of Shi Jianwen, he and Qufu County. ”

This is a letter written by Kong Xifan to Tyrant Zhao, not by Tyranny to Zhu Yunwen as Shuangxi thought.

Shuangxi pinched the letter and thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't see anything between the lines, so he lowered his head and said.

"The slave is so dull that she can't see anything."

This Kong Xifan was kicked in the head by a donkey? The bandits were raised by his Kong family, and he wrote a letter to say that he was going to suppress the bandits?

Seeing Shuangxi's reaction, Zhu Yunwen smiled.

Whoever looks at it, this is just an impeachment letter, impeaching Zhu Rong and Yang Wen for their incompetence, and mentioning the construction period of the canal embankment by the way.

"yes, I don't see anything."

Zhu Yunwen threw the letter on top of the imperial case and sneered: "It's just that this Kong Xifan told Bang Zhao that he planned to kill the laborers and burst the canal." ”

Burst the canal!

Shuangxi was stunned, and although Yang Pu not far away did not believe it, he was also shocked when he heard this.

"Your Majesty."

Shuangxi shuddered and asked, "How do you see it?" ”

Shandong is in turmoil, and it is the Kong family standing behind the thieves, which is known to Double Happiness, but what does it have to do with the embankment canal?

"I'll mark out the key points for you, and you can take a look."

picked up the pen and copied a little bit, Zhu Yunwen picked out a few places and explained.

"There are bandits in Shandong, and the number is three thousand, which is one.

Zhu Yu's suppression of bandits is unfavorable, and his incompetence and anger are two.

Swords and soldiers are everywhere, and the Confucian family temple is in danger of being destroyed by the soldiers.

The canal embankment is for flood control, and the construction period is scheduled for April next year before the spring flood.

Wangjia sent manpower, this is five.

Think about these five points together. ”

Shuangxi's brain turned fast, and it didn't take long for him to suddenly realize that he was furious.

"Kong Xifan is telling Tyrant Zhao that Zhu Rong intimidated the Kong family to dig up the ancestral grave of the Kong family because of the suppression of bandits, for the sake of the temple, and in order to alleviate Zhu Rong's anger, Kong Xifan must find 3,000 heads to fill the bandits, and Zhu Rong to explain to the court, but where did the 3,000 heads come from? In addition to the people, there are only laborers who build embankments in Shandong, but there are a number of laborers, so Kong Xifan decided to break the embankment during the spring flood next year, flooding Jinshan, and polluting the shortage of laborers on natural disasters! If Tyrant Zhao didn't want to flood the land by then, he would secretly increase the number of laborers, so that Kong Xifan could gather enough for these three thousand heads. ”

The death-like silence in the palace of the body, this Kong Xifan is so mad!

"Your Majesty, please cut this fang quickly!"

Shuangxi knelt on the ground and gritted his teeth: "This person's femme fatale heart can be described as disgusting, and non-punishment is not enough to anger the people." ”

"Kill him?"

Zhu Yunwen sneered: "What to kill?" Is there any evidence? Just this letter, the whole is his Confucian fan's benevolent and righteous mind of worrying about the country and the people, and the evil he wants to do is because I know that the bandit was raised by his Confucian family, and the people of the world know? Do people in the world believe it? What can be done if there is no evidence?

Even if his Confucian family raised bandits in Shandong, that was what I should tell me in my eyes, and there was no direct evidence to prove that this group of bandits was raised by his Confucian family.

Last year, the canal and the river, the lives of hundreds of workers, all the evidence on my side pointed to Zhu Rong, the king of Qi, and he was not involved in the slightest of the Kong family, you told me, I killed him, in what name? How can I explain to the world in the nameless prison? ”

"Why do you need to explain."

Shuangxi gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Your Majesty is the Ninety-Five, the co-master of heaven and earth, so he should be upright and righteous as the emperor and the master of the emperor, the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die!" ”

"Huh."

Zhu Yunwen suddenly looked at Yang Pu and shouted: "Draft!" ”

Yang Pu's brain was blank now, but when he heard this, he hurriedly reacted and put pen to paper.

"The first purpose and Zhu Rong, said: Shandong matter, I am very disappointed, the king of Qi eats the king's Lu, but he did not fulfill the matter of loyalty to the king, he was deprived of his lord, degraded to the common people, and his son Zhu Xianyu is the king of Qi, and Zhu Rong was taken into the Beijing division and put in prison to be punished!

The second purpose and Yang Wen said: Shandong matter, I am very disappointed, Ruzhen Fu Shandong for four years, but caused Shandong bandits to rise everywhere and was unable to exterminate, deposed the marquis of Hanshan, took it into the Beijing Division, and went to prison to be punished!

The third purpose is to talk to Kong Xifan, saying: The matter of Shandong, I have been informed of the old place of the violent pavilion, and I am worried about national affairs, and I am very relieved. The clan relatives and generals are all in vain, but Qing Jian is in his heart, and he worries about it all night. Worried about the fact that Qing is also a saint in the temple, I am afraid that Qing will leave office and snub the saint, so I don't want to move lightly.

Now there are many and complicated things in Shandong, and no one in the court can share the worries with me. Today, the edict is issued, and the secretary is the commander, and the bandits and chaos have been determined early, and the worries are shared for me. ”

Yang Pu had just finished writing, and before he had time to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Zhu Yunwen say again: "In my name, I wrote to Xu Yuhe, the political envoy of Beiping Zuobu, to postpone the construction of roads, and send 10,000 laborers to Shandong to help with flood control." ”

Yang Pu wrote everything he could, and then presented it to Zhu Yunwen in front of the emperor, and the emperor was sealed.

After calling four small eunuchs, Zhu Yunwen handed over one of the three holy decrees, but when it came to the fourth one, Zhu Yunwen advised: "Tell Xu Yuhe that I have another secret order, and the number of laborers is called 10,000, and the actual dispatch is 12." ”

The little eunuch complied, and the four of them left quickly, and each went to issue the decree.

Zhu Yunwen closed his eyes for a while, and then shouted suddenly.

"Someone."

A few brocade guards came in from outside the hall, bowing down and waiting.

"Take Yang Pu to prison!"

Zhu Yunwen suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at Yang Pu, which frightened the latter to his knees, but he couldn't even say a whole sentence.

What kind of crazy is the emperor smoking?

Seeing that Yang Pu was so frightened that the three souls left his body, Zhu Yunwen laughed and said with relief: "What are you afraid of? I just arranged for you to go to the Imperial Prison for a period of time, I will order someone to arrange a clean private room, prepare a mattress, books, eat and drink, I will not treat me lightly, Qing should study and cultivate himself behind closed doors, if you are not happy and lonely, you can write to me, I asked Uncle Liao to bring some girls from the Qinglou to solve a problem for Qing. ”

Yang Pu suddenly understood.

The emperor doesn't trust himself.

Today's matter is too terrible, Kong Xifan wants to burst the canal, and what the emperor did just now should be a countermeasure, although he can't figure it out for a while, but the emperor is afraid that he will say it, in case it reaches the ears of Kong Xifan in Shandong, then the Kong family will not feel the taste?

"The ministers obey the holy commandments."

Thinking of this, Yang Pu was down-to-earth, his idol in life is Yang Shiqi, so he is an unswerving emperor, the emperor of heaven and earth is the biggest, as long as the emperor says, even if he asks Yang Pu to send troops to Shandong to burn Kong Lin, he Yang Pu can do it!

Just let him into the cabinet!

"Go ahead, when it's over, I'll give you a promotion."

Zhu Yunwen waved his hand, and several brocade guards 'tolew' Yang Pu and left the palace and went to the edict.

"Your Majesty."

Shuangxi scratched his head, but he couldn't understand Zhu Yunwen's operation, so he asked: "The slave is stupid, really ignorant, why does Your Majesty have to go to such great lengths." ”

Are you an emperor, or an emperor with a stable country and prestige, where do you need such trouble? You are just passing the holy decree of death in the bright light, and he Kong Xifan dares not to die?

"You, smart is smart, but this pattern is a little smaller after all."

Zhu Yunwen smiled, he was already confident.

"In this world, the more important the matter, the more we have to weigh the pros and cons, although it is easy for me to kill him now, but there are a hundred disadvantages and no benefits, I will wait and kill him again, there will be a hundred benefits and no harm."

It's simple to kill a Kong Xifan now, but what's the point? What Zhu Yunwen wanted was to push the Kong family into the abyss in one fell swoop!

"You are so upright, but it is a narrow and simple act, I am the emperor, everything is planned by the country, if this matter is done properly, it is a great good thing for the country and me."

Zhu Yunwen has a good mind, and he already has a perfect plan in his heart, and his mood is much better.

"The Confucian family is short-sighted, and they raise bandits and rogues for personal gain, thinking that as long as they are careful and cautious, no one can take them if they don't leak the evidence, indeed, without evidence, I can't do anything about them, I am now famous, and it is not worth raising a nameless prison just for a mere Kong Xifan, and I have tarnished my reputation in vain.

I deposed Yang Wen and Zhu Rong, took Jing to ask for the guilt, and pushed his Kong family to the front line of suppressing bandits, I wanted to see how they still put the blame on others, I took them out of the dark and threw them into the sun, so that everyone in the world could watch and see what they were doing.

If you don't suppress bandits, then let the people of the world laugh at them, for the sake of full fame, they will definitely succeed in 'suppressing bandits', where are the bandits? It's better to kill the good and take the risk, let's kill it, I will transfer them an extra batch of laborers to the past, so that they can start in a down-to-earth manner! Let them do it themselves, who else can they blame? I'll be able to get the evidence.

Next month, Qiushi Newspaper will be published, and this evidence will be published with the world after the popularization of Qiushi Newspaper next year! ”

It is impossible for the Kong family to admit the matter of raising bandits, and no one in the world will believe it.

Previously, Zhu Rong was responsible for suppressing bandits, and the Kong family would not do it personally, they would let Zhu Rong do it, if Zhu Rong was unwilling, it would be a big deal to drag it on, anyway, Zhu Yunwen did not have evidence of his Kong family raising bandits here, and the bandits were uneven, and Zhu Yunwen would definitely ask Zhu Rong for his guilt at that time.

In order to protect himself, Zhu Rong could only go all the way to the black and carry this pot of sewage.

That's why Zhu Yunwen hurriedly took down Zhu Rong, and even Yang Wen was jointly questioned and taken back to Jingshi, and the entire Qilu, now supervising the suppression, gave him full authority to the Kong family!

Don't you like to be a mouse? Now Zhu Yunwen let them be cats!

Everyone in the world is watching, are you suppressing this bandit or not?

The reputation of the Kong family is their most valuable and precious object, so they must suppress it.

But you can't kill the henchmen you have raised for so many years, in the end, you still have to use labor to fight for your life.

Now that Yang Wen is gone, Zhu Rong is gone, and the matter of commanding and supervising the suppression is stuck in the head of the Kong family, who else can he let do this? Only he is in the Kong family!

Whether it is commanding the Shandong Metropolitan Division, commanding his own subordinates, or the private army, this account must be counted on their heads.

Zhu Yunwen has a nail in their heart!

As long as they order on the front foot, Zhu Yunwen on the back foot can receive the evidence with peace of mind.

In order to prevent the Kong family from breaking the embankment, Zhu Yunwen ordered 10,000 laborers, but plotted to let Beiping send 2,000 more people over, the purpose was to give him the Kong family to kill!

It's just a laborer, and it's not his Zhu Yunwen's people, who have died a lot, and they will be able to be captured from the southwest again in the future.

With the matter of killing good and risking merit as the foundation, then the reverse reasoning of his Confucian family's raising bandits cannot be washed away!

The Internet of later generations has fully proved that as long as the public grievances are boiling, the object of the people's hatred will be played by the people's opinions, and even if any stain is not proven, the people and the world will think that it is true! Because people subconsciously think that you are a bad person, then you must do bad things.

There is no need for evidence, just cut the micro and guide it, then it will be true that the Kong family is raising bandits!

If the bandits were not raised by you, why would you kill laborers to deceive the court and the world, saying that they are bandits?

The entire Shandong capital is handed over to you, and the army of more than 100,000 can't exterminate 3,000 bandits? Unless you don't want to kill yourself! Because that's your family!

After the matter of raising bandits is confirmed, the heavy blood debts that the bandits have committed will automatically be counted on the heads of the Kong family.

Countless dirty water and blood stains, even if it is not what his Kong family did, Zhu Yunwen will try his best to calculate it on their heads, including the Mengyuan period, the Kong family was a traitor and betrayed the nation, which cannot be washed away, and it will be all installed, so that public opinion will be in an uproar, and the people's grievances will be boiling!

At that time, it was the turn of Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, to come forward.

Under the guise of doing the right thing for heaven and eliminating harm for the people, the Kong family was beaten in one fell swoop!

It is easy to get the hearts of the world, and let the people of the world sing praises for themselves.

Think about it, in later generations, when a corrupt official stepped down, was the person who beat the corrupt official praised by everyone in unison?

Think about it, when the crowd is surging and everyone is gritting their teeth at the evil forces, the more ruthless you punish him, the happier the big guy will be? The happier? Even if the punishment is not equal to his culpability, and the punishment is beyond the norm, everyone is happy, but they take it for granted and even feel angry.

In later generations, the rule of law was fully popularized, and only a small number of people remained objective in such cases, and the majority of the people still tended to follow the tide. The more people who hate it, the more damned the criminal.

Otherwise, how could there be a phrase that goes against the rule of law, 'not killing is not enough to outrage the people'.

In the ancient Ming Dynasty, the people's feelings were greater than the law, and the people's feelings were angry to a certain extent, and if they were well guided, they could explode with endless destructive power!

The entire Kong family will be turned into powder in this surging public outrage! Their family will be nailed to the pillar of shame of national history and will not be able to turn over for generations!

Who dares to speak for the Confucian family among the scholars in the world?

Say a word, it's all national scum who are in the same stream! It is a huge stain that future generations will not be able to turn over in history!

Manipulate the people's hearts and guide public opinion.

These are all technical means that a politician should learn.

For the indignation of the common people, all the scholars in the world wrote a letter to ask Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, to destroy the Kong family, at this time, the more ruthless Zhu Yunwen killed, the happier these students were!

Because they will feel that they have face on their faces.

They will show off: "I said that I want to divide the corpse of five horses, the emperor really divides the corpse of five horses, look, even the emperor supports my opinion, I am amazing, the emperor is really a saint, enlightened and admonished." ”

By the way, another wave of allegiance from Shilin was harvested.

This kind of operation, there are countless textbook models in later generations that are worth learning from Zhu Yunwen.

Every time, it's enough to send the leader to the altar!

Now that Qiushi Newspaper has not opened, the scholars still take the Confucian family as their spiritual leader, and killing at this time is nothing more than for their own pleasure, but what about after that?

Kill Kong Xifan when there is no evidence, the low-level scholars will write a letter, asking Zhu Yunwen not to kill innocents indiscriminately when there is no evidence, and Zhu Yunwen is against them, although those scholars are powerless to resist, will they slander Zhu Yunwen in private?

This is human nature, raise the bar!

What I want to do, if you don't support it, then we are enemies, I don't care if you do it right or not, if you don't listen to me, it's wrong.

lost his reputation, Zhu Yunwen will have to pay for this impulse for decades to come, because of all kinds of disadvantages and no benefits.

And after a year's delay, when the big guys are shouting and shouting to kill, Zhu Yunwen will do this again.

There is another nature of human beings, blind obedience.

What I want to do, if you support it, then we are teammates, I don't care if what you do is wrong, you support my point of view, that's right!

And if the person who supports their point of view is extremely noble or authoritative, will this person be extremely happy? Will he sing praises to Zhu Yunwen from now on?

Because only the higher they praise Zhu Yunwen, can they highlight their greatness, and how bullish they are in this opinion camp.

We must learn to understand human nature and learn to maximize benefits.

And what is the greatest benefit of hitting the Kong family?

How to become a saint!

And the quickest way to become a saint is to step on the shoulders of another saint.

If Emperor Taizu knew how to manipulate public opinion, his reputation would not have left the stain of indiscriminate killing of heroes in history, because of God, there would be no stain!

As an emperor, you can't kill people indiscriminately, you have to be able to kill people.

The essence of killing is to consolidate one's own authority, not to shake one's rule.

Criticism is a political show.

To control well, to play well.

Fighting with the Kong family, fighting bravely and ruthlessly is all on the side.

The real means is to fight wits.

And now, Zhu Yunwen has already thought about how to take advantage of this incident to soar into the sky!

What you pay is nothing more than to endure for an extra year and a half, even if it is three years or two years, what is it compared to the rich benefit returns?

The lives of thousands of laborers are just their honor, and it is their honor to use them as the ladder for the emperor to ascend to the gods, and to be the corpse under the imperial throne!

"The deep meaning is that you have to learn more, so that in the future, you can solve more worries and problems."

Running such a huge empire as the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yunwen's energy is really limited, and he still has to think about how to make the country enter the fast lane of rapid development as soon as possible, and on the other hand, he has to entangle these trivial matters in the country, which is really powerless.

"This matter, go back and understand more, understand it, and let the people from the West Factory accompany me to perform this play."

Shuangxi knelt at Zhu Yunwen's feet, and his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he felt something.

"The slave maid will be arranged immediately, and as the New Year is approaching, the team of merchants should also go to Shandong to sell something."

Picking up the best players in the army, practicing martial arts, pretending to be businessmen, luring snakes out of the hole, catching a group of bandits back, tortured them, confessing to the mastermind, and waiting for the future, coming forward to testify, is the last straw that breaks the camel's back!

Nodding slightly, Zhu Yunwen was a little tired, leaning back in the chair and closing his eyes to recuperate, his fingers flicking on the imperial case, and humming in his mouth.

"I think at the beginning, Lao Tzu's team was just opened, and there were only a dozen people and seven or eight guns."

Kong Xifan, come and sing this play with me.
