Chapter 296: Reading for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty
After receiving the order of Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, the school on the shore of Xuanwu Lake began to work overtime to set up.
Leaning on the scenic lakeside, not far away is Zhu Yunwen, the emperor's summer residence, this youth league can be regarded as over-standard in terms of the rigid standards of the environment.
During the days when the lakeside school was built, Zhu Yunwen also ran here a lot, while escaping the summer, while supervising the work on site.
Asari's affairs didn't matter much, and he really couldn't be interested.
Now the local governments and counties in the whole world have begun to consciously and busily implement the five-year plan to the rural grassroots level that has not been touched for thousands of years.
The only trouble that has arisen at the moment is that when local governments implement policies, they will inevitably lead to overcorrection and brutal governance.
This is an inevitable form, especially in the Ming Dynasty in the fifteenth century, which could not even be supervised, and Zhu Yunwen could only watch dryly.
As long as the matter is not too big, it is impossible for he, the emperor, to come forward at this time to pour cold water, so as not to cause confusion in the local mind.
The matter of policy is checked by the cabinet, and Zhu Yunwen simply put his whole body and mind on the lakeside school temporarily, and reviewed the list of people who participated in the entrance assessment this time.
In the past few months, the country has recommended a lot of local talented and agile children, among which there are many famous ministers who have grown up, but unfortunately Zhu Yunwen has no impression, among these children, he also knows a Yu Qian, but the first time he saw this name, he subconsciously thought of the son-in-law of the Mongolian Navy commander.
Then I came back to my senses and remembered that Yu Qian, Yu Shaobao, and the famous national heroes of the Ming Dynasty.
In the Battle of Beijing, the famous ministers who turned the tide after the Tumubao Change, and died unjustly after the Incident of Seizing the Gate, which made people sigh more than Yue Wumu in history.
Song killed Yue Fei and Song died in the country, and Yu Qianming died in the country.
As soon as Yu Qian died, the trend of the prosperity and decline of the Ming Dynasty was unstoppable.
Dinghai Pingbo Qi Jiguang, even to write a letter to Zhang Juzheng, has to humbly call himself a lackey, how congested.
"Yu Qian is from this era?"
To be honest, Zhu Yunwen never thought that the current Yu Qian was already a seven-year-old child, and he subconsciously thought that Yu Qian was a figure in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and he built the Wen Dynasty that was the early Ming Dynasty of iron porcelain.
No wonder there is a saying that the thirty-first year of Hongwu is the most important year of the Ming Dynasty.
In this year, Emperor Taizu Hongwu died, and in this year, another child who saved the Ming Dynasty was born in Qiantang County, Hangzhou Prefecture.
This is the staggered time difference of the level of consciousness.
If you are not familiar with history, who would have thought that Qianlong and Washington would be the leaders of the East and the West who existed at the same time.
"Let's choose a topic for assessment."
Summoned Zhu Di, Yang Shiqi, and Xu Huizu, Zhu Yunwen stood high on the Ming Hall of the completed Lakeside School, spread out a proclamation, and prepared pen and ink.
"You don't have to worry about their age, you can think as difficult as you want."
The purpose of Lakeside Academy is to select only geniuses, rather than abundant.
Zhu Yunwen planned to come up with the question, but it was more difficult than the essay of the Guiwei Imperial Palace, otherwise, he didn't need to toss this time.
"Think according to the principle of only focusing on current affairs and not studying theory."
The three of them have no opinion on this, emphasizing practice over theory, which has always been Zhu Yunwen's inertia.
"The minister throws the jade, let's talk about it first."
Yang Shiqi pondered for a moment, and was the first to stand up and say, "For now, let's talk about the current 15th Five-Year Plan. ”
Although the First Five-Year Plan is a national policy set by Zhu Yunwen, the emperor and the cabinet, it does not mean that it is all right and not wrong, because the plan is essentially a tough behavior that must be successful, regardless of the overall situation of the current society, once it cannot be realized, the local government may make false reports in order to make up the number.
If the number of acres of land is falsely reported, but the actual number of acres of land is insufficient, the local government will secretly increase taxes on the people and falsify the amount of land from the tax revenue.
In this way, it will become a 'leap forward' behavior of sacrificing the survival interests of the people and squeezing the people's strength.
There are pros and cons to the policy, and the results have both advantages and disadvantages.
Analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the existing policies of the imperial court, and think backwards through this incident What impact will it have on the local government and county yamen and the people of the Ming Dynasty.
Now, let a group of children with an average age of eight or nine years old.
"Okay, that's the first question."
Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhu Di again: "What does the fourth uncle want to test?" ”
After Wen Ce's exam, Wu Ce must also have it.
It is not possible to emphasize literature and ignore military force.
Zhu Di thought for a while and said, "Why don't you test the Battle of Jinshan and the Battle of Fishing Erhai that year?" ”
After saying this, Zhu Yunwen's face changed slightly.
The two battles in Zhu Di's mouth are the battles of the Ming Dynasty to establish the country, and they are also important battles to play the national prestige and national character, but these two battles have a character that cannot be ignored and cannot be bypassed: Lan Yu!
Heroes cherish heroes, and famous generals are important to famous generals.
From Zhu Di's point of view, taking advantage of this topic and these two battles to rehabilitate Lan Yu politically is undoubtedly a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.
But rehabilitating Lan Yu is not a matter of right or wrong in black and white, and the impact involved in this matter is by no means as simple as Zhu Di thought.
"Let's take a look at the campaign of King Qianning to pacify Yunnan back then."
did not agree to Zhu Di's proposal, and Zhu Yunwen moved Mu Ying's exploits out.
Zhu Di wanted to say something, but his lips moved a few times, and he still didn't dare to speak.
"What about Wei Guogong?"
After deciding on the civil and military strategies, Zhu Yunwen looked at Xu Huizu again, and the latter pleaded guilty: "The minister is ignorant and can't think of any better strategy." ”
Xu Huizu wanted to come up with a question, thinking that he had either been busy suppressing bandits or collecting tolls in the past few years, compared to Yang Shiqi and Zhu Di's problems that affected the country's society, it was really impossible to take action.
"These two questions are difficult enough."
Yang Shiqi opened his mouth to persuade: "Only in terms of the current situation, it is a top three jinshi in the past year, and there are very few people who can make it, and it is used to test this group of children, and the minister has his own opinion, I am afraid that except for His Royal Highness the eldest prince, no one can pass." ”
Zhu Yunwen smiled: "Maybe there will be a genius?" ”
In his heart, he had great expectations for Yu Qian, hoping that the latter could surprise him.
"Okay, now that it's decided, let's test these two questions."
Zhu Yunwen raised his hand: "Fourth Uncle and Wei Guogong go and prepare, the exam will start in three days, and Shiqi will stay." ”
Zhu Di and Xu Huizu got up and bowed and retreated, leaving Yang Shiqi alone to be silent with Zhu Yunwen.
"Your Majesty's retainer is for His Royal Highness King Yan."
After a few minutes of hard work, Yang Shiqi spoke first, and he roughly guessed Zhu Yunwen's thoughts in his heart.
Zhu Yunwen opened his mouth and agreed: "The Qing family is smart, but they can't hide anything. ”
"Lan Yu is arrogant and arrogant, but she is not qualified to ask questions."
Yang Shiqi criticized tentatively, and then saw Zhu Yunwen shaking his head.
"I kept you, not to criticize his mistakes, Lan Yu has made outstanding achievements, and has made immortal contributions to my Ming warriors. Not to mention that he has not been sealed for three generations, but the descendants of his family and relatives have been reduced to the bitter cold land of Liaodong to suffer and suffer, and I feel uncomfortable. ”
Emperor, is this a struggle to rehabilitate Lan Yu?
Yang Shiqi's heart moved slightly, and then he felt that things would never be so simple.
With his understanding of Zhu Yunwen, if the emperor really planned to restore Lan Yu's reputation, he could have done it a few years earlier, and it would not have been delayed until now, he said this kind of thing because he wanted to seek the support and understanding of others.
"The so-called merit is not worth it, even if Lan Yu has great merit, it is not where its lawless confidence lies."
Yang Shiqi expressed his attitude and said firmly: "If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you have a fault, you will be punished." ”
"Huaixi Xungui annexed the land and harmed the people, it is damned, the left and right are killed, and it is always bad for the reputation to install a hat of rebellion and rebellion."
Zhu Yunwen asked again, waiting for Yang Shiqi's next answer.
The latter also had something to say about this, and said confidently: "If you don't break the Huaixi nobles, let their greed flourish, it will inevitably cause the people to rebel and shake the country." They are digging up the roots of the country, and their sin is not worse than rebellion? ”
Seeing that Zhu Yunwen was unmoved, Yang Shiqi replied: "This is not the minister's own opinion, it is really known to everyone in the world." ”
"Ge Lao, let's get busy first."
Zhu Yunwen gave an eviction order, and the latter respectfully retired.
On the matter of whether to rehabilitate Lan Yu, the civil and military factions of the Ming Dynasty have different arguments, and the civil and official group headed by Yang Shiqi naturally strongly advocates that Ding is Ding Mao is Mao, and one yard is one yard.
And the Wuxun group headed by Zhu Di naturally never stopped advocacy for a day, this is their heart.
Lan Yu's crime is unforgivable, whether he kills or chops, but you can't let him bear the reputation of a thief for 10,000 years.
People have been throwing their heads and spilling blood for Daming all their lives, not avoiding axes and arrows, and when they reach the age of enjoying their old age, how can they betray Taizu and this country.
What a picture?
"Today, the fourth uncle is testing me."
Zhu Yunwen sighed at Shuangxi: "It's time to change the dynasty, now is not the time when grandpa is alive, and they also see the hope of rehabilitation." You say, do I want to do this? ”
The benefits of Ping Lan Yu's anti-are obvious, Wu Xun is overjoyed, and he is even more proud, which is good for inspiring the country's martial arts.
And what about the downside?
"If Lan Yu's opposition is leveled, the civil official clique will demand me, and Hu Weiyong's opposition will be leveled."
Zhu Yunwen shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Hu Lan Prison, both the civil and military sides have grievances. I want to level Hu Weiyong, and Hu Weiyong's achievements in governing the country are also clear at a glance.
After pacifying their rebellion, the tens of thousands of sinners who were exiled in Liaodong will be pardoned, and the court will compensate them. yes, yes. ”
Double happiness is puzzled: "Since it is all a good thing, why is Your Majesty so undecided?" ”
Isn't it just rehabilitation, just a matter of holy decree, and it can also convince the hearts of the people of the world, it is all for the benefit of Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, what is there to hesitate about?
After all, in all dynasties, successive kings have rehabilitated their courtiers one after another, and the benefit is to win the hearts of the people and consolidate their rule.
"I won't do that, never! Leave it to posterity. ”
Zhu Yunwen turned his head, and above the main hall of the lakeside school, there was a portrait of Emperor Taizu Gao and his Zhu Yunwen.
"To rehabilitate Hu Lan means that grandpa is wrong.
In the future, the children and grandchildren of future generations who will be affected by this case will still have their eyebrows raised? When they become officials, they will grasp this point, infinitely magnify grandpa's mistakes, make grandpa's criticism worthless, cover their faces with points, generalize with partiality, and reverse black and white.
Yes, I don't deny that grandpa is wrong, anyone in the world who comes to see grandpa is wrong, even if I think so, because I am not in that time and that position, I can't understand grandpa's approach.
Later generations took grandpa's cruelty to talk about things, saying that grandpa indiscriminately killed the founding heroes and generals of the town, what kind of good emperor can this kind of suspicious and selfish emperor be, and what good policies can he have?
Splashing dirty water, engaging in criticism, and comprehensively denying all the merits of grandpa are all behaviors that will inevitably be derived, because they want to wash away the reputation of their ancestors, and they are bound to do so as soon as they have been wronged for decades.
Let's go for the fucking spring and autumn dream!
What are Hu Weiyong and Lan Yu, and what do they compare their bullshit reputation with their grandfather. ”
In the world, not everyone can rationally separate right from wrong, analyze and look at right and wrong from different angles, and can't stand the rhythm of such a large group of people with bad intentions.
So to do things, only the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind.
The future will be uncontrollable after Zhu Yunwen's death, and future generations can naturally overturn the case if they want to, but at the moment, it is absolutely impossible for him to overturn the case for Hu Lan.
Go with the flow, when the whole people are enlightened, there is no need for the official to come forward, the people themselves are literate and read books, and after knowing this history, they will also judge this historical fact in their hearts, and there is no group of people who are clamoring for rhythm, they will analyze objectively in their own hearts.
Once Zhu Yunwen, the second-generation emperor, is rehabilitated now, then in the next few decades, the public opinion orientation of the Ming Dynasty will be extremely unfavorable to Taizu.
You have rehabilitated others, can you still not allow those descendants who were implicated in these two cases to participate in the imperial examination as officials?
Out of consideration for his own interests, Zhu Yunwen still has to support them to become officials.
Why, because it was Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, who pardoned them, they were grateful to Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, and let them be officials, so that they could stabilize Zhu Yunwen's imperial power and stabilize his rule as Emperor Jianwen.
This is also one of the means of rehabilitation, which has been used by successive kings of successive dynasties for thousands of years.
Zhu Yunwen taught Zhu Wenkui, and when the latter became the emperor, the first thing he did was to rehabilitate Fang Xiaoru.
"Your father and I are dead, it doesn't matter if your reputation is worth anything or not, you can rehabilitate him, you can accept the heart of Wenchen and stabilize your position."
Zhu Yunwen could say this to Zhu Wenkui, but he couldn't do anything to rehabilitate Hu Lan, because he respected Zhu Hongwu in his heart, even if he didn't have any feelings for Zhu Hongwu.
Heroes cherish heroes, and emperors cherish emperors.
In this position, he knew how difficult it was for Zhu Hongwu.
"Don't talk about these annoying things."
Zhu Yunwen spread out a new piece of rice paper and picked up the pen.
"I give a sub-precept to this lakeside academy, hoping that these children will always be vigilant."
Shuangxi came over to see it, and he was a little crazy for a while.
"Study for the wealth of the Ming Dynasty!"
