"Mencius: Gongsun Choushang" has a saying, the Tao exists, although tens of millions of people go to me.

Mencius believed that this was a kind of courage and courage, representing a spirit of courage and courage.

At the same time, from ancient times to the present, countless people have been very respectful of martyrdom and sacrificed their lives for their ideals and beliefs.

In the universal values, everyone has great respect and admiration for such people.

Zou Yuanbiao is such a person, he defends his own way, and is even willing to put his life on the line for it.

Like Zou Yuanbiao, there is also Gao Panlong.

In February of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, Cui Chengxiu was unwilling to let Gao Panlong be dismissed and wanted to get rid of him.

So Cui Chengxiu faked the transcript of Zhejiang tax supervisor Li Shi and falsely accused Gao Panlong, Zhou Qiyuan and other seven people of corruption. The imperial court sent Tiqi to arrest him.

In March, Gao Panlong went to the ancestral hall of the sage Yang Shi with a whole crown and belt. After returning home, he and his younger brother Gao Shihe and his protégé enjoyed the flowers by the pool in the back garden, chatting and laughing freely.

At this time, someone came to tell Zhou Shunchang that he had been arrested, Gao Panlong looked calm when he heard this, and said with a smile: "I should have regarded death as home."

After he returned home, he talked and laughed with his wife as usual, and there was nothing unusual. Lao Gao handed the letter to his two grandsons, told them to hand it to the school officials the next day, and then dismissed the grandsons behind closed doors.

A short time later, Gao Panlong's sons (who noticed something unusual) came to investigate and found that Gao Panlong had sunk himself in the pond at the age of sixty-four.

The children and grandchildren opened Gao Panlong's letter, and on it was a will, which read: "Although I have been removed from my official position, I have been a minister of the court in the past. A minister must not be insulted, because being insulted is the same as insulting the state. I can only bow respectfully to the north now, in order to emulate Qu Yuan's last wish. The emperor's favor could not be repaid, and he only wished to repay it in the next life. Chen Gao Panlong's masterpiece. I hope that the messenger will bring this letter to the emperor for his life. ”

The Tao exists, although it is especially regretful to die.

This is said of people like Gao Panlong, who have been sticking to their Tao all their lives.

It is indeed admirable, indeed moving, at this time Zhu Youxiao thought of another sentence, this sentence is called: The Tao is different, not conspiring with each other, from Confucius's "Analects of Wei Linggong".

You are practicing your word, defending your word, and you are willing to pay with your life for it. I am also practicing my Word, defending My Word, and I will not hesitate to give my life for it.

Zhu Youxiao suddenly felt that the wisdom of the ancients was very deep, which also reminded him of some things in later generations.

Is bushido the way or not? Are those Japanese *** practicing their ways?

For the sake of their Word, they can die in anger, they can commit suicide, but what does their Word bring to the world?

Raising his head to look at Zou Yuanbiao, Zhu Youxiao felt that he had found the crux of the problem.

There may be loyal and upright people in the Donglin Party, maybe they are not corrupt, or they may be dedicated to the country, but they are wrong. According to their Taoism, the Ming Dynasty will not be strong, and the Ming Dynasty will not prosper, but will only decline rapidly!

Thinking about this, Zhu Youxiao smiled.

Yang Lian and others took the lead in attacking Xiong Tingbi, believing that although Xiong Tingbi had merit in the country, he also had a history in the country, which was defending the Taoist system.

In front of the Dao Tong, everything is a floating cloud. Taoism is the first place, nothing is as important as Taoism, and this is the root of the problem.

"Zou Aiqing's words, I will think about it." Zhu Youxiao looked at Zou Yuanbiao, nodded with a smile, and then looked serious.

When Zou Yuanbiao left, Zhu Youxiao turned his head to look at Chen Hong, stretched out his hand and gently tapped the armrest of the wheelchair, and said leisurely: "Same as last time, just say that Zou Yuanbiao please play the re-examination method." ”

Chen Hong was stunned for a moment, and then released the news? Isn't that a little too yin?

But Chen Hong didn't dare to admonish, so he could only hurriedly bow down and do it.

Zhu Youxiao also knew that he couldn't do this often, and this was the last time he did it.

Of course, these two times also have a purpose.

Gao Panlong, Zhu Youxiao wanted to see who would impeach Gao Panlong in the inscription, and who would ask Li Ruzhen to be severely punished.

In comparison, Li Ruzhen's case is not that important. Even if the three legal divisions decide to turn a big matter into a small matter, and they don't agree, they have no choice, and they can send the case back to Dongchang again for retrial at any time.

This time the news is simpler, Zhu Youxiao needs to find a courtier who supports his policy.

Whether they are loyal or traitorous, whether they are the Donglin Party or other parties, as long as they support their own policies, then they will use them.

Zhu Youxiao saw very clearly that whether it was the Donglin Party or the Qizhechu Party, they were essentially the same.

When Fang Congzhe was the first assistant of the cabinet, the imperial court had several big problems.

At the top of the list is endemic famine. Due to the beginning of the Xiaoice period, there were many disasters in the place. Coupled with the serious land annexation, the Ming Dynasty began to have lower-class commotions again.

Fang Congzhe's solution to this matter is very simple, that is, to issue the treasury silver, that is, to take out the emperor's private money for disaster relief;

The second is to open a warehouse, as for the application of various money and grain, when the shell is slow, when the slow is slow, when the fold is folded, and the Linde warehouse grain. Distributed to the disaster-stricken prefectures and counties, let them buy cheaply, and the household department decided to discuss, but urgently issued tens of thousands of stones of rice to distribute the adjacent places, then the court ordered and the hungry people could receive its benefits, which was the first to save the burning and drowning.

This is often ineffective because of corruption by local officials;

The third point is the suspension of tax exemption, which is tax exemption to put it bluntly;

Fourth, the magistrates are supplemented.

Do these claims look familiar?

Basically, it is a routine with the Donglin Party, and the reason why they are fighting is not a battle of lines, but a struggle for power and interests.

Whoever is in power will benefit, and whoever is in place will have many people. Not to mention anything else, whoever is in power can embezzle more money.

Why is there always a scramble for Liaodong? Because Liaodong burns millions of taels of silver every year.

Liaodong is a big oil depot, whoever puts his hand into it can hold a hand of oil, how can he not fight? How can you not rob it? Cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents, how can you not work hard?

As for the propositions and policies, the Donglin Party and the Qizhechu Party are the same, and their interests and demands are also the same, that is, to limit the imperial power, we have the final say, limit taxes, we do not pay taxes, and the emperor will issue more internal funds, so that we can be more corrupt.

There is no difference except who is in power and who benefits to whom.

Zhu Youxiao released the news this time in order to make Zou Yuanbiao stink and make him isolate himself from the Donglin Party.

Of course, this is basically impossible, but it can make him resign and give up his position.

In Zhu Youxiao's view, the position of the left capital of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is too important, and if he needs the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he needs to arrange his own people in this position.

In addition, I need to know who has no bottom line and is willing to follow him, even if it is just for promotion and wealth, it doesn't matter.

As long as he is willing to support himself in retaking the Fa, he will promote him.
