Chapter 517: Judging the Emperor (2)

Under Tokugawa Katsuyoshi's strong 'control', stability was soon restored in Kyoto, and the residents of the Gyeonggi area, who had been intimidated by the killing and fear, no longer dared to complain about the upcoming public trial.

At this juncture, the two protagonists of the public trial, Gao Su, the secretary of Dali Temple, and the former Emperor Guangtian, the current King of Japan, Minorihito, arrived outside the city of Kyoto, and Xue Ke led a group of high-ranking military officials out of the city to greet them.

There were a few chariots, and the first one was not the state guest car escorting Shiren with the flag of the Ministry of Rites, but the 'Daming Cabinet University Scholar Zhu'.

Zhu Gaochi's arrival was under Zhu Yunwen's order, and he was responsible for handling all matters in Japan after the war, even Xue Ke, the commander-in-chief of Dingwei, was under his command after Zhu Gaochi arrived in Japan.

Political leadership over the military is the basic principle of the Ming Dynasty's internal and external affairs, and this is also the basic political quality that any officer at or above the middle and senior level in the army must have.

Those who vainly attempt to influence local political administration by virtue of their positions in the army will not only be stripped of all their posts but will also face severe punishments of up to life imprisonment.

After Zhu Gaochi's chariot is Shiren's chariot, and finally it is Dali Siqing Gaosu.

The three of them got out of the car, and Xue Ke hurriedly greeted him with a fist: "The last general, Xue Ke, has seen Zhu Ge Lao." ”

Zhu Gaochi's identity is no longer as fat and bloated as he was back then, after all, the emperor has to exercise every day, and now he is also very burly, wearing a first-class official uniform on his body is full of spirit.

"Xue Shuai has worked hard."

After encouraging Xue Ke, Zhu Gaochi did not rush to introduce the rest of the attendants behind him, but leaned into Xue Ke's ear and whispered: "Are things ready?" ”

Xue Ke comprehended and nodded lightly: "Elder Ge rest assured, everything is ready." ”

"That's good, that's good."

Zhu Gaochi laughed and grabbed Xue Ke's arm: "Come on, come on Xue Shuai, let me introduce you to the chief judge of our public trial, Gao Su, the Qing of Dali Temple." ”

Since getting out of the car, Gao Su has been surrounded by a group of generals led by Xue Ke early on the ground like stars holding the moon, those generals who are dominating the battlefield and scolding Fang Xuan are carrying bags and serving tea at this moment, and even some Tian shamelessly hold a plate of dim sum melons and fruits to offer courtesy.

The thin and tall Gao Su stood inconspicuous in the midst of a group of bears and tigers, but in the eyes of this kind of vertical and horizontal Ming Lian heavy generals, Gao Su's image was tall and majestic, and even full of divine atmosphere.

"Gao Siqing, when we are in this trial, is there a shortage of clerks?"

Xue Ke's staff officer was the first to raise his head with his chest raised profusely, but the sneer on his face ruined the heroic spirit of this body: "Look at the end of the general, the list of graduates of the sixth phase of the martial arts hall back then, don't look at it as a military attachΓ©, write a good article, consider it." ”

"Chief of Staff, don't take you to grab the position like this."

Jia Yi, a staff officer of the Siamese Army, who was also a staff officer, also came up: "Lord Gao, do you still need manpower, I can bring you a bag." ”

"And me, when you judge, I will pinch your shoulders in the back."

A group of generals clamored one after another, some wanted to pinch their shoulders, some wanted to beat their legs, and some wanted to pour tea and add water, study ink and prepare pens, and the most made Zhu Gaochi and Xue Ke cry and laugh, and there were even those who cheekily said that they would stay by the side and feed Gao Su.

"Get out of the way with Ben Shuai."

Xue Ke raised his legs and feet, kicked away a group of second- and third-grade officials, and walked in scoldingly: "A group of things that don't count the number of courtesies, did Gao Siqing come from afar to say hello and stretch out his hand to ask for a position?" ”

The mouth scolded fiercely, but when Xue Ke turned his head to look at Gao Su, his face was also cloudy in an instant, and the enthusiasm was brilliant: "Gao Siqing came from afar to work hard, I arranged for someone to clean up the Ashikaga Yoshinori General's Mansion for you early, and immediately equipped with guards and subordinates to serve you."

By the way, that Gao Siqing, you are the chief judge, do you need a jury, my old Xue is also a little bit of pen and ink, do you think I can do it? ”

Yes, it's a sycophant again.

The staff officer was very cooperative: "Yes, yes, Xue Shuai, you are the juror, I am the clerk, during the trial, who dares to be crooked, Lao Tzu will kill him with one shot, no, pull it out and shoot him directly." ”

The two of them are a commander and a chief of staff, and the two military bosses take the lead in grabbing officials, and the others can't interject.

Faced with this situation, Gao Su could only smile bitterly, these military generals take the legal trial as a child's play, the law is not a war, just shout and kill neatly, what the trial needs is the sacred law, conclusive evidence, sharp rhetorical accusations, until the judge is speechless and bows his head to admit guilt before he can finally be convicted and sentenced.

If a group of military generals are allowed to go to court and intimidate with knives and guns at every turn, then the meaning of this public trial will be lost.

Fortunately, at this time, Zhu Gaochi opened his mouth to relieve the siege: "Everyone, the matter of the public trial and Gao Siqing have also brought the top jury and secretary team of Dali Temple, don't worry about it, the monarch's father told that from Gao Siqing's arrival in Japan to the end of the trial, no one can disturb the jury of Dali Temple." ”

As soon as they heard that Zhu Gaochi had moved out of the mountain of Zhu Yunwen, everyone was busy subconsciously pulling up their military posture, and they didn't put their beaks too much.

This scene made Gao Su almost laugh out loud.

It was still early, and Zhu Gaochi was not in a hurry to enter Kyoto, handing over the chariot where Shiren was to the guard battalion brought by Xue Ke, who escorted him back to the palace, and he led Xue Ke and others to simply walk into Kyoto City and ask about other preparations before the public trial.

"The place of the trial was placed outside the palace, and a large open space was built to facilitate the group to watch the ceremony, and in terms of security, our sons of the Ming Dynasty were personally responsible, and the peripheral control was the friendly forces of Siam, South Burma and South China, and the control of the city was handed over to the surrender army of Tokugawa Katsuyoshi."

Walking beside Zhu Gaochi, Xue Ke reported in detail: "Now the main contradiction in Kyoto City has basically been suppressed, and the main contradiction of the original inhabitants of Kyoto and the suburbs of Gyeonggi is no longer the upcoming trial of Shiren, but Tokugawa Katsuyoshi. ”

"Oh?" Zhu Gaochi was interested: "Let's hear it." ”

So Xue Ke told all the things Tokugawa Katsuyoshi had done earlier, which made Zhu Gao's eyebrows burst out with murderous aura: "This beast." ”

Compared with his eldest brother, Zhu Gaochi's heart was too soft, and Tokugawa Katsuyoshi's behavior reached his ears, almost blowing Zhu Gaochi's lungs.

However, as Xue Ke said, it is precisely because of the existence of Tokugawa Katsuyoshi that many things will be handled more easily, and the next step of the public trial can be carried out more smoothly.

The group walked all the way into Kyoto City, there was hardly a single resident along the way, the doors and windows of every house were closed, and the Kyoto City, with a population of as many as three or four hundred thousand, was quiet like a ghost town, and the strong smell of blood in the air had not yet had time to dissipate.

"The culture of this nation originated from us, but there seems to be a sense of crookedness."

Xue Ke said Tokugawa Katsuyoshi's previous incentive and punishment policy: "Survival of the fittest, rewarding the strong and punishing the weak, naked the weak eating the strong, being very respectful to the strong, and tyrannical to the weak." ”

Zhu Gaochi's steps forward were stunned.

"Reward the strong and punish the weak, don't you think it's a bit like the old Qin law?"

If Zhu Gaochi didn't say it, Xue Ke hadn't thought about it yet, and when he heard such a sentence, he suddenly felt familiar.

The staff officer on the side also suddenly said: "Those who rush into battle will be rewarded, and those who are afraid of the battle will be killed." ”

When it comes to bravery and fearlessness, the combat effectiveness of the Chinese ancestors is definitely the best among the nations in the world, otherwise, it would not have been possible to multiply and expand all the way from the Yellow River Valley to the entire Shenzhou.

In the expansion of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, many tribes and nationalities disappeared.

The greatness of the First Emperor lies in the fact that after he swept the world, he wrote the same text and the same track, so that China would not be divided like Europe, but the same book and one text meant that he wanted to destroy other civilizations and retain only one civilization.

The most representative point is that witchcraft was popular in the land of Hunan and Chu, that is, the Wuzhu culture of Dasheng in the Shang and Zhou dynasties was almost destroyed after Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty exterminated the Qiang people, not 100 but 80, and moved people to Shihetao, Shaanxi and Gansu, and expanded the territory claimed by China since ancient times.

Emperor Qin and Han Wu then became a great man of a generation.

The reason why Zhu Yunwen's prestige in Daming is so prosperous now lies in this, because Zhu Yunwen is equivalent to the super PLUS version of Qin Shihuang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

The entire Ming Lianshu Chinese, writing Chinese characters, speaking Chinese, unified identity documents, the official compulsory "Jianwen Dictionary", all currencies are unified with the copper tickets issued by the Daming Bank, and the gold and silver are confiscated and prohibited from circulation.

All the books of the ancestors of each country with their own strong cultural symbols were burned.

These are all coercive operations, the obedient ones are promoted to get rich, and from then on they are powerful, and the resisting plots are against the three clans.

The higher the degree of sinicization,The higher the position you can hold.,The higher the authority you get.。

Throughout the Ming Union, except for India, which still retains a unique Hindu culture, other countries are carrying out this cultural baptism.

Sweet dates in one hand and butcher knife in the other.

Coupled with the selfishness in human nature, as long as there is one beneficiary in these countries who has gained fame and fame through sinicization, then soon more than eighty percent of the people in the entire country will be like this.

The remaining 20% will be lonely souls and wild ghosts.

This kind of cultural genocide and trampling on other ethnic groups has never been done by the Chinese nation since the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and of course, the Zhao and Song dynasties did not have the strength to do it.

If the Chinese nation in the Shang, Zhou, Qin and Han dynasties was a tiger, then the Tang Dynasty was a wolf.

In the Zhao and Song dynasties, with stable rule as the program, the deformed Confucian culture created by the Zhao family and scholars turned the Chinese nation into sheep, and then the Yuan Dynasty was in power, relying on the unremitting efforts of the Yan Shenggong family, and the sheep nature became servile.

Because when the sheep is too long, when we pick up the knife of our ancestors again, it will make people have a kind of confusion about whether the nation has died.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, didn't our ancestors know how to be filial to their parents and take care of their children?

The tiger and wolf do not eat their children, this kind of ruthlessness in their bones only treats outsiders, and never leads the knife to their parents and children.

Emperor Taizu Gao overthrew the tyrannical yuan and washed away the servility of the nation because it had been oppressed for nearly a hundred years, while what Zhu Yunwen did was to kill the sheep nature in the bones of the nation.

Therefore, everyone in the entire Ming Dynasty regards Zhu Yunwen as a god of faith.

No matter how much blood is wronged, it is also Zhu Yunwen alone, as long as he can grab more living environment for the Ming Dynasty and the nation, and leave more developable resources for future generations, someone has to pay.

When the children and grandchildren of later generations step on the land pioneered by Zhu Yunwen and enjoy the endless resources left by Zhu Yunwen, there is no reason to scold the mother as soon as he puts down the chopsticks, even if he scolds, it is good if he can scold lightly.

"There are three main stages in which the Japanese nation absorbs our culture."

Zhu Gaochi interpreted as he walked: "First the Qin and Han dynasties, then the Tang Dynasty, and then the current dynasty, and it is precisely our Song and Yuan dynasties, Japan has no cultural exchanges with us. ”

The staff officer on the side became serious: "They have learned the pioneering spirit of our ancestors and this dynasty, and have taken the initiative to abandon some cowardly characters such as humility, forbearance and frugality. ”

"Because Japan is small!"

Zhu Gaochi said solemnly: "Their territory is too small, their resources are too small, they must fight, they must grab, coupled with the reasons of external disasters such as continuous ground movement and endless sea disasters, forcing them not to give in and not to retreat.

You must fight and grab, or you will starve to death.

They did not invade others, and they worried about the destruction of their own nation all day long, so they learned our culture and understood the great achievements of our ancestors from the Qin and Han dynasties, and then regarded it as the benchmark for national development, and shaped their national identity in this way.

Confucianism in the Song and Yuan dynasties was impossible to learn in Japan, so it was abandoned. ”

The crowd surrounding Zhu Gaochi fell silent.

"What does Elder Zhu mean, this wolf was raised by ourselves?" Gao Su answered, still disagreeing in his tone: "They act cruelly and violently, and they act like beasts, even more inhuman than beasts." ”

"It's just caused by the environment." Zhu Gaochi shook his head: "We planted seeds for their national culture, and then grew into this."

Japan is different from North Korea, North Korea borders us by land, and there are continuous exchanges of Confucian culture for thousands of years, so there is almost no difference between North Korea and us, while Japan faces each other across the sea, and there are constant turmoil at sea, which naturally restricts exchanges.

And don't look at this nation through all wartime colored glasses, and think that this is a group of beasts that are completely inhuman.

In the early Tang Dynasty, the literary style was flourishing, which also led to the cultural prosperity of Japan.

'The mountains and rivers are exotic, the wind and the moon are the same sky, send all the Buddhas, and form a fate. This poem was written by the Japanese, and then the Japanese aristocracy gradually developed the habit of writing poems and lyrics. ”

"It's true."

Xue Ke chimed in on the side: "From the battle of Osaka to Kyoto, more than 100 Japanese generals were killed, and almost every one of them wrote desperate poems, both of which were loyal to him, and some were written for his wife and children, and the words were heroic, poignant, or affectionate, and so on. ”

"Father Jun put forward the view of contradiction in the "Jianwen Canon", saying that everything has contradictions, and affirmed and elaborated more clearly on the ancestors' Tai Chi Yin and Yang theory."

Compared with the military attachΓ©s, Zhu Gaochi obviously looked at the problem more comprehensively: "The Japanese nation has both bad and benign nature, there are atrocities that make people want to destroy them all, and there are also things worth learning from.

Just as their personalities are more resilient and open-minded, they progress very quickly, but they tend to develop greater ambition and aggression as they progress.

I came to Japan on the orders of the emperor this time, just to properly handle Japan's post-war affairs, and try to see if there can be a more conducive to the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Union. ”

Everyone understood.

If the problems brought by the Japanese nation to the Ming Dynasty cannot be solved, then simply solve the problems of the nation that created them.

If you don't listen, you will be beaten, and if you don't accept it, you will be killed.

Jun Xiongxiong is a country, what kind of emperor there is, what kind of Ming is there.

It is up to Japan to choose whether to survive or to perish.
