Chapter 40: Responsibility
"I'm telling you, you're dead!"
Emperor Chrysostom said that when Zhu Yunwen said this sentence himself, Yao Guangxiao and Zhu Di smiled with relief.
"Rebellion is the first of the ten evils, and the poor monk is not an idiot, and he has never been lucky."
Yao Guangxiao said arrogantly, "If the poor monk is afraid of death, he will not come to this Ying Tianfu." ”
Zhu Di also breathed a sigh of relief, he was not afraid of death, what he was afraid of was that Zhu Yunwen hypocritically left his life, as long as he died, the family would be saved.
"Do you think I killed you because of your rebellion?"
Zhu Yunwen sneered, and then looked at Zhu Di again, "Fourth Uncle also thinks that I can't tolerate the two of you?" ”
The two were stunned, since ancient times, the crime of rebellion, the nine clans of Zhulian should have been, the prince conspired against him, and the emperor thought of family affection, generally only punished the first evil, but to say that there are no dead people, it is a fantasy.
"Why is rebellion a great sin?"
Zhu Yunwen sighed helplessly, "I'm not an emperor yet, I care too much about this position, and all those who try to get to this position are naturally the emperor's hate." ”
As he spoke, Zhu Yunwen helped Zhu Di up, "Fourth Uncle has always thought that I am being hypocritical with you, but why should I kill you?" I'm the emperor, and you're not convinced, what kind of guilt is this? ”
Zhu Yunwen suddenly became very tired at this moment, his expression and tone were not as rigid as usual, and he didn't even bother to say the word me, "Grandpa has worked hard all his life, and his heart is on the people of the world. ”
After all, Zhu Yunwen came from later generations, his ideas have been cultivated in modern society for decades, and he understands many major truths far more than the ancients, which is his advantage and his burden.
There are two kinds of rebellion, the first is that the rebel rebels rebels purely to satisfy their own selfish desires, they don't want to do anything, they don't care about anything, they just want to be the emperor, this kind of person naturally deserves to die.
There is another kind, that is, the official forces the people to rebel, this kind of belongs to the rebellion that can't survive, he has to rebel, he doesn't rebel, he dies if he dies, he dies if he dies, he is still afraid of a ball?
The second kind is in Zhu Yunwen's eyes, rebellion is not guilty!
Who is guilty? It is the bureaucrats who force this group of people to rebel, they are the rebels!
"It's not easy to sit in the seat in the Fengtian Temple."
Zhu Yunwen pointed to the high dragon chair in the hall, "Every time I sit on it, I feel like I am sitting on the stove, and the scorching almost burns my mind." ”
Zhu Di paused, he didn't know what to say for a while, he just looked at Zhu Yunwen in a daze, he found that his nephew was completely different from the grandson in his impression a few years ago!
"Uncle has shed a lot of blood in Beijing for so many years." Zhu Yunwen took Zhu Di's hand and looked at the calluses on the dense wounds, "Why is the fourth uncle working so hard?" ”
Zhu Di suddenly felt that his nose was a little sour, "The minister is the son of Taizu, the king of Yan of the Ming Dynasty, the responsibility of guarding the land, and the matter within his own affairs." ”
Zhu Yunwen nodded with satisfaction, "I have read a lot of battle reports in the north back then, and I know how much the fourth uncle has paid for our Ming Dynasty.
Grandpa killed a lot of people in his early years, and the famous generals who opened the national dynasty with me in the Ming Dynasty withered. But Mongolia is still there, who can afford to protect the country and the nation? Grandpa gave this responsibility to the second uncle, the third uncle, and also to you.
Later, the second uncle and the third uncle were early, the nine border defense, and the heavy responsibility of Qianjun were all pressed on the shoulders of the fourth uncle, and the fourth uncle was the head of the prince, the body of a daughter, and how could he have spared his life, and he would risk the arrow stone in every battle, in order to be worthy of his own responsibility? ”
Zhu Yunwen's words, like a sharp knife, suddenly pierced all Zhu Di's defenses, and he could no longer suppress his emotions, and tears fell in the tiger's eyes, "The minister should die!" ”
"Everyone has their own responsibilities." Zhu Yunwen said, "The prince has the responsibility of the prince, the emperor has the responsibility of the emperor, everyone in the world says that the fourth uncle intends to rebel, but the fourth uncle has to take the lead in every battle, in the life of the fourth uncle, when will he save his life and try to serve the heavens and the emperor in the first place." I'm not blind, I know that the fourth uncle is just unconvinced, and I don't think your nephew can be a good emperor. I never knew how difficult it was for this emperor to be. ”
Zhu Yunwen raised his head slightly, his expression was a little sluggish, "Grandpa left me the world's society and hundreds of millions of Li people, I can't let him down, my responsibility is to carry it, I can't leave it alone, so that a hundred years later, I won't be able to see him." ”
Zhu Yunwen seemed to be a little tired, and sat on the imperial steps, "The Mongols are still there, Warat and Tatar are all my Ming henchmen, and they are a knife that will fall at any time on the heads of hundreds of millions of people.
Therefore I must destroy them! But if I want to pacify the grassland, I can't do without my uncle, the 60 million people of the Ming Dynasty, and I can't do without King Yan. Compared with the importance of the society and the people, I can't tolerate just one bad intention? ”
Zhu Di shuddered, and the whole person pushed the golden mountain and the jade pillar to worship under the imperial steps, "Minister, damn it!" ”
This is the first time Zhu Yunwen showed his heart, when he ascended the throne, he began to have nightmares often, he dreamed that the torrent of history could not be resisted, dreamed of Tunguska entering the customs, dreamed of the change of hands, and dreamed of a sea of blood.
The Chinese nation, with its splendid civilization, has suffered too much.
When Tunguska entered the customs, the north and south were poisoned for 8,000 miles, and hundreds of millions of Han people were in danger of dying. The heinous sin is more poisonous and more poisonous than the invasion of the Japanese in later generations, and Zhu Yunwen is really afraid.
If God is willing to choose Zhu Yunwen, he is willing to exchange the throne for eliminating this national catastrophe. Compared to this disaster, a mere emperor is really not worth mentioning.
"Your Majesty has heaven and earth in his heart, and the saint is not as good as the saint, so that the minister is ashamed and wants to die." Zhu Di kowtowed, "That being the case, why don't you forgive Mr. Yao, Mr. Yao has the talent to go through the heavens and the earth, and it is a pity to kill him." ”
Zhu Yunwen's face suddenly turned cold, "I killed him, not because he rebelled." ”
As he spoke, Zhu Yunwen walked up to Yao Guangxiao, "Do you know why I killed you?" ”
Yao Guangxiao shook his head, "The poor monk doesn't know. ”
"Because of your arrogance and coldness!"
Zhu Yunwen's tone was as cold as ice, "Why do you want to rebel wholeheartedly, is it because I, the emperor, can't do a good job and want to rebel?" Or do you have a great contribution to the community, and you are not convinced? Which one do you occupy? You don't take any of them!
You just think you can change the dynasty, think you have dragon slaying skills, in order to prove your own ability! ”
"Learn literature and martial arts, and sell them to the emperor's family." Yao Guangxiao looked at Zhu Yunwen, "The poor monk has dragon slaying skills, so he naturally wants to find a good buyer." ”
"So you're going to fight for a reputation that will last forever." Zhu Yunwen sneered, "You want future generations to praise you for your ability when they mention you, right?"
For the sake of this reputation, you have disregarded the will of the people of the world, and put all the people and the sword soldiers under it. You have the skill of slaying dragons, you have the ability to kill you with a knife into Nanjing City, and you can kill into Fengtian Palace! Why do you need to contact someone to find a vassal king with a heavy army? ”
Zhu Yunwen grabbed Yao Guangxiao's collar and lifted the latter up, "Because you know, my fourth uncle is very good at fighting, he rebelled, and he is the only one who has the ability to defeat the strong with the weak, so you chose him, you will make the world your chessboard, and Yan Wangwei's elite soldiers will be your chess pieces, come and play against the sky!" Did you know that the Nine-Sided Army was used to resist the Mongols! It's not used to turn around and kill my fellow Han people!
You have never cared about my Ming Dynasty's national fortunes, and you have never cared about how many innocent Li people will die once this war is launched, yes and no! ”
Yao Guangxiao was speechless, because every word Zhu Yunwen said pierced his heart, and he had no way to refute it.
"You think that the people of Li are just a trivial life, and they only deserve to be manipulated by you and between the palms, and this alone will not spare you!"
Zhu Yunwen's eyes were red and terrifying, "I will kill you, and besides, you will never die happily, a thousand cuts are your final fate." ”
As he spoke, Zhu Yunwen threw Yao Guangxiao down, "Go to the edict prison, tomorrow, Ling Chi will be executed!" ”
Yao Guangxiao smiled miserably, and just as he was about to bite his tongue and commit suicide, he heard Zhu Yunwen's voice coming, "If you commit suicide, all the temples you have been to will be burned down, and all the monks you have friends with will be guilty of the same crime!" I want to see that the golden body of the Buddha can resist the flames! ”
Yao Guangxiao looked up to the sky and laughed, "If I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell, okay, the poor monk will go to the execution ground!" Taste the punishment of a thousand cuts! However, the poor monk has a question, and I want you to answer it truthfully. ”
"Say it."
"The poor monk just wants to know, you, the emperor, will you cut the feudal domain in the future?"
Zhu Yunwen was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhu Di beside him, and laughed, "I will!" And it's going to be clean! In my heart, there is only a country, no home! ”
Yao Guangxiao closed his eyes and let several brocade guards come up and pull him away, "The poor monk is not unjust. ”
After Yao Guangxiao was suppressed, the hall was silent for a while, leaving only Zhu Di with a face like ashes, and the emperor still had to cut the feudal domain after all!
But Zhu Di understood, and he also understood that Zhu Yunwen was not cutting the feudal domain for his throne at all. Zhu Yunwen is very much like Emperor Taizu, even more than Emperor Taizu, in his eyes, only the people of the world, he has never cared about anyone, the means for more than a year are indeed just to paralyze the vassal kings of the world, he has fallen, and then, no one can escape.
"Not only will I cut down the domain, but one day, I will break all the privileges of the family for thousands of years."
Zhu Yunwen opened his mouth and said, "The ancestral family law left by my grandfather, and the clan seal set by the clan, will all be abolished here in me!" For thousands of years, the high position of Confucianism will also be pulled down by me, and the Yan Shenggong, who has been inherited for thousands of years, will also go to pay grain to my cultivated land, and to dig ditches and build embankments for my labor! The family is strong, pay taxes and pay food! I will not let the people, who only own half of the cultivated land of the Ming Dynasty, have to pay the grain of the world! Serve the world! ”
Zhu Di said astringently, "Your Majesty is not afraid that one day in the future, the gods and men will not tolerate it?" ”
Abolish the clan and family privileges. If you really wait for that day, the world will be reversed! Since ancient times, there has been no emperor who dared to do this without a tragic death.
"Since I am the emperor, while enjoying the supreme power, I should also take on the greatest responsibility in the world."
Zhu Yunwen laughed disapprovingly, "I am waiting for the day when the world is against me, Fourth Uncle, I will open my heart to you today, today, I will take the people of the world as a consideration, and all your affairs will be forgiven, but in the future, when I break the world, I hope you will not stop in front of me, because, it is also for the people of the world, whoever stops me, I will die!" ”
Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhu Di, "Fourth uncle, I give you a choice, one is to leave the people of the world, the family moves to Liangguang, I have a fortune with you, and from then on the rich family will live a lifetime, and the second way, I have set up the General Staff Office, the position of Chief of the General Staff is for you, and you can still be the King of Ming Yan for a few years." ”
Zhu Di can't leave the battlefield, if it is his dream to be the emperor, then pacifying the grassland is his lifelong wish, so he only struggled for a moment, and then bowed down to receive the order, "I am willing to die for the Ming Dynasty." ”
For Daming, not Zhu Yunwen.
