Chapter 169: Solar terms

Qian Tang raised his head and said: "His Royal Highness's words and ministers have been taught, but this matter still needs to be discussed, how can Mencius be so casually removed from the Temple of Literature." ”

Zhu Biao looked at him and said, "If Qian Yushi really thinks about Mencius, he should go back and think about it, instead of adding fuel to the fire here." ”

Qian Tang frowned, Mencius is a Confucian sage who is orthodox and must not be defiled, so he must return to the Temple of Literature, but now that there are more and more people behind him, Qian Tang is a little uncomfortable.

He is not a stupid person, at least half of these people behind him are people who seem to be admonished, thinking that the emperor may not be responsible for the law before he came over, but the more people there are, the more it will irritate the emperor, and it will backfire.

It doesn't matter if he dies, but so many people being killed together will inevitably disrupt the operation of the imperial court, which is not what he wants to see, not to mention that Zhu Biao's sentence just now was really stimulated by the fact that he was famous for his death and left his name on the monarch's father.

In Qian Tang's eyes, Zhu Yuanzhang is a hero, driving out Hu Lu to restore China and reopening the Han people, which is a rare feat for eternity, so he will happily enter the court as an official and assist wholeheartedly.

Zhu Biao put his hands behind his back and said: "Now that the Ming Dynasty is in ruins, there are many affairs in the DPRK and China, and the truly loyal and patriotic ministers are working hard in the official yamen, only you don't want to forge ahead, and you are still trying to win a clear name here, it's really ridiculous, don't go back!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the people below began to cry out, obviously they were not afraid of life and death, how could they become villains here, Qian Tang took a deep breath, stood up and bowed his hand towards Zhu Biao, and then walked away by himself.

The rest of the people were dumbfounded, we all came with you Qian Tang, and you just left? So what are we here for?

Zhu Biao's face was still cold, but he also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if Qian Tang didn't leave, then there would be no way to solve the problem of dozens of people dying in front of the palace gate today.

It is impossible for the emperor to admit his mistake until he has to, and now that he is strong and weak, Zhu Yuanzhang can't stop him from killing him, and if it really comes to that situation, Zhu Biao will not stop him.

If the ministers work together to turn back the emperor's decision-making, what will it be, the current Qian Tang and others may really be dedicated to the country, but as soon as this example is opened, the courtiers in the future will regard the death of the emperor as a shortcut to their own fame.

Song Lian in the back looked at Yan Zhubiao, silently got up and said to the people around him: "Don't embarrass His Royal Highness the Prince, I still have official business to deal with, how can I delay." ”

Song Lian actually wanted to die here immediately, so that his literary name could be preserved, but he cared more about Zhu Biao, this is his most proud disciple, more than ten years of painstaking teaching, Song Lian was reluctant to embarrass Zhu Biao.

The two most famous people spoke, and the rest of the people, especially those who followed the trend, got up and left, and the remaining hesitants also left under Zhu Biao's eye attack.

Zhu Biao breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked towards the palace, Qian Tang took the initiative to leave for the sake of the public, and Song Lian took the initiative to leave because of his personal affection for his disciple, but these two people will not give up, and the matter is not over yet.

Along the way, Zhu Biao's mood is very complicated, these people really make him love and hate, but the country can't do without them, no matter what dynasty there will be traitors, there will be these direct ministers on the other hand, they will only make the emperor hate in peacetime, but when it comes to loyalty, they will not be left behind.

If it is solved by killing alone, then in the end, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces will only be left groveling and responding to the sound worm, which is good for Zhu Yuanzhang's father and son, because the two of them are capable enough and have enough determination, but they have to think about it for the future.

Of course, Zhu Biao will restrict them in the future, especially because of a trivial matter, if someone plays a trick of death, then Zhu Biao will let them survive and not die.

In general, they are not wrong this time, it's just that the positions of the two sides are different, but the purpose is to make the country better, so Zhu Biao wants to protect them, after all, it's not easy to connect if the backbone is broken.

When the Ming Dynasty fell in history, it was not only the courtiers who "the water was too cold", Fan Jingwen, a scholar and scholar of the Ministry of Industry, saw that the general trend had gone, and when the city of Beijing was broken, he hanged himself, and was finally saved by his family, but later committed suicide by jumping into a well.

After hearing that Chongzhen committed suicide, Ni Yuanlu, the head of the household department, wore court clothes and kowtowed in the direction of Chongzhen's suicide, and committed suicide in front of Guan Yu Temple, and finally all 13 members of his family committed suicide and martyrdom.

Shi Bangyao, the deputy of the left capital, first hanged himself, and committed suicide by taking poison after being rescued, his boss Zuo Yushi heard about it, and sighed and said that the lord humiliated the ministers to death, which is the duty of being a courtier, if the prince can be safe, I died without regrets, and later in the ancestral hall of Wen Tianxiang, he hanged himself after bowing three times.

After hearing that the emperor died, Ling Yiqu also slammed his head against the pillar and bled all his face, and finally burned all his books, bowed three times in the direction of Chongzhen, and then left a letter to his family, which wrote that loyalty is filial piety, and finally committed suicide with a silk strangulation neck.

When Meng Zhaoxiang, the servant of the Criminal Department, attacked the city of Beijing, he happened to defend Zhengyangmen, and finally died under the city, and his wife was martyred with him.

It can be said that these people are all in high positions, and if they surrender, at least they will still have glory and wealth, after all, they are all ministers of the dynasty, and no matter which regime needs such talents.

But just like the Battle of Yashan in the late Southern Song Dynasty, Lu Xiufu jumped off the Yashan Mountain with the little emperor in his arms, and the more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians accompanying him also jumped into the sea to follow, what a temperament.

Zhu Biao naturally doesn't like these stubborn ministers much, but he won't break their backbones, Zhu Biao wants his courtiers to be obedient, but he doesn't need slaves.

The Yuan and Qing dynasties domesticated the courtiers into slaves, and the result was that the ministers after the demise did not resist, at most passive resistance, because their bones had long since softened, and no matter how hard they were, they would be like that.

Zhu Biao returned to the imperial study, Zhu Yuanzhang put down the pen in his hand and said: "It's very good, it's better to deal with it now, the rest is to fight each other, let's see what these ministers think." ”

Zhu Biao nodded and said: "In a few days, there will be news from the officials from other places and the Kong family, especially the Kong family, who will definitely try their best." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "Qian Tang, this old guy is still familiar this time, otherwise things will be difficult to clean up." ”

Zhu Biao smiled, in the political situation, if the emperor directly slaughtered the minister with absolute power, in fact, he would lose in a sense, after all, this is an unfair game, and you still have to lift the table, what is this.

Governing the world is not the same as fighting the world, killing is just a means, if it is really so useful, then Qin Sui Yuan will not perish so quickly, and the corruption of the Ming Dynasty has long been solved.
