On the second day, all the courtiers took note of the decree given by the emperor yesterday in relation to the Semu people. Yun Xi issued seven wills in a row, and it was impossible not to be noticed. Everyone was very surprised: at a time when the whole court was preparing for war with Annam, why did your emperor care so much about the Semu people? In particular, these regulations are all about restricting the Semu people, and the Semu people in the north are even going to be relocated to Iwu, which will lower the morale of the Semu army, why do you do this?

However, the will has been issued, and although there are tens of thousands of people in the Semu army participating this time, it is only a small amount in the total number of Ming troops mobilized this time, which is as high as 600,000, and it is not worth committing for this small thing, and the immigration is also a very correct thing in the Ming Dynasty, so most of the officials did not say anything.

But there is one minister who will not be silent.

"Chen Tiexuan, please meet Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" After Tie Hyun saw Yoon-hee, he knelt down and said.

"Tie Qing is exempt." Yun Xi raised his head and said a word, then lowered his head and finished answering the fold in his hand, then stood up and said, "Tie Qing came to see me today, what do you have to report?" ”

He was very strange about why Tie Hyun came to see him: he didn't summon Tie Hyun today, and Tie Hyun was in charge of military discipline, and he didn't report anything to him on weekdays, so why did he suddenly ask to see him?

'Could it be that there is a military general in the upper guard who violated military discipline and came to report to me? That's not right, if that's the case, he should go up. Yun Xi thought.

Tie Xuan knelt on the ground, kowtowed respectfully a few times, and then stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is here for His Majesty's holy decree yesterday. The so-called color eyes are also the people of the Ming Dynasty, and His Majesty's holy decree yesterday also said: Although the color eyes are not of the Chinese race, but between the same life and the world, there are people who can know etiquette and righteousness and are willing to be subjects, which are no different from the Chinese people to raise. ”

"So why did Your Majesty move all the Colormu people from the north to Iwu?"

Hearing Tie Hyun's words, Yun Xi finally remembered what he had forgotten yesterday: there was a big official with color eyes next to him, and he was still a very trusted official: Tie Hyun.

Yoon-hee lowered his head and looked at Tie Hyun's face. Although Tie Xuan is a descendant of the Semu people, his mother is Han, and his appearance is not much different from that of ordinary Han people, and his hair is also black.

"I forgot that Tie Qing is a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, knows etiquette and righteousness, and should be raised by Chinese people." Yun Xi said to Jin Shan on the side: "Immediately plan to send the decree to Tie Qing's hometown, give the yellow household registration certificate, and the whole family will move to the capital." ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty ,......"

Before Tie Xuan finished speaking, Yun Xi interrupted: "Yes, not only Tie Qing, but now Da Ming has other people who are civil officials. Wang Xi immediately went to the Ministry of Officials and asked Li Ren to submit to me the list of all the people who were civil officials in the Ming Dynasty, and I also issued a decree that all the families of these officials would be given yellow household registration certificates, and the whole family would move to the capital. ”

After ordering this, Yun Xi said to Tie Xuan: "Tie Qing has other things?" ”

"This," Tie Xuan said this, paused, and then said: "Your Majesty, the relocation of the people to the northwest to immigrate to the Northwest is also very much in favor of the ministers, but why does Your Majesty have to relocate the Semu people?" ”

"The reason for this is simple, because it is easy for the people of Semu to migrate." Yun Xi said: "Most of them are military households, and military households have very detailed household registration records in the imperial court, and each family member is clearly written, and there is no need to do anything else to move them to the northwest, so I decided to relocate the Semu people." I remember that Tie Qing's family is also a military household, so I should know a lot about it. ”

"Your Majesty, if this is the case, it is enough to relocate the military households of the color eye, why do you need to move those few color eye households?" Tiehyun still asked.

"Well, I'll be honest with you. Because during the Mengyuan Dynasty, the Semu people bullied the Han people, which made the Han people everywhere very disgusted with them, so I have known a lot of Han people and Semu people fighting each other over the years, especially in places where there are more Semu people. Tie Qing should have heard of it too. ”

"This kind of thing is said by the public and the mother-in-law is reasonable, what do you say about the local government? can only and dilute the mud. But both sides of the mud are not satisfied, and the problem is getting more and more serious. I can only move one side away and make the place stable. No matter where it is, there are more Han people than Semu people, so they can only migrate Semu people. ”

"That's why I'm going to move all of you who are now officials to the capital." Yun Xi said with a sincere face.

Yun Xi's words were very straightforward and reasonable, Tie Hyun couldn't refute it, but he still asked: "But what if there are also people who know etiquette and righteousness among these people who are going to be relocated?" ”

"Then I will issue another holy decree, ordering all the people in all places who have the fame of the Ming Dynasty to stay in place and not need to move."

"As for the people after them, in Yiwu, they can also learn the scriptures and the righteousness, and they don't have to be in the Central Plains. Since last year, the Qin Domain in the northwest has also opened the imperial examination, if they are selected by the Qin Domain, they can also be officials, Tie Qing does not need to worry. Yun Xi said.

Tie Xuan was completely speechless this time, so he could only say: "Then please Your Majesty issue these holy decrees as soon as possible, in case the local lords will move them all to the northwest." ”

"I'll write it right away."

"What the minister said just now, there is something inappropriate in the words, please forgive your majesty."

"I understand your thoughts, so I don't blame them. Go down. Yun Xi said with a smile.

Tie Hyun bowed again and stepped back.

After he stepped back, Yun Xi first asked Jin Shan to prepare a few holy decrees, stamped them and issued them, and then said to Huang Fu: "You remind me in a few days to adjust Tie Xuan's official position." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Huang Fu said.

Tie Xuan's current official position is the head of the Zhenfu Yuan set up by Yun Xi to be in charge of the military discipline of the Upper Guard, and Yun Xi decided to adjust it to the left deputy capital of the Imperial Palace.

This is not because Yun Xi doesn't trust Tie Hyun anymore, in fact, not only from the deeds of later generations but also from Tie Hyun's performance in this life, he is very trustworthy, and he is also very loyal to him and Daming.

But his faithfulness does not mean that he will not make mistakes. Just like the famous Zhu Dadian in history, he resolutely resisted the Manchus when the Manchus came over, and his family was martyred, but he was corrupt and corrupt when he was an official of the Ming Dynasty. Tie Xuan is a Semu person after all, if he is faced with a major matter of right and wrong, such as a rebellion, he will definitely stand on the side of the court, but usually there are some things that Semu people may not resolutely carry out the emperor's will.

Therefore, Yun Xi decided to transfer him to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which is a cannon yamen, and in the future, he can also be the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites and other ministries.

As for allowing people who have made a name for themselves and become officials, it is also the proper meaning to stay in the Central Plains. First, it can show that his policy really does not discriminate against people of color, and second, these people who can achieve fame and become civil officials will not believe in religion.

The modern civil service examination system, which originated in England, is of course much better than its predecessor, the imperial examination system, in terms of selecting suitable officials, but it has a huge flaw that cannot detect whether a person really believes in the ideas propagated by the imperial court.

Confucianism is essentially a philosophy, with a system of philosophical theories that began with the Zhou Li, was perfected by Confucius, and was later distorted by the great Confucians of all dynasties. Reading through the Confucian classics is the process of accepting Confucian philosophy, and as he learns more and more, Confucian philosophy becomes more and more important in his mind, until he finally accepts Confucian philosophy completely.

And it is impossible for a person who truly and thoroughly believes in a certain religion to accept the philosophy of Confucianism.

All theology is fundamentally a philosophy, and since they have accepted the philosophy of religion, they will reject Confucian philosophy from their hearts, and it is impossible to truly understand the connotation of Confucianism. Perhaps the third-level imperial examination for Xiucai can be passed by rote memorization, but the township examination is a great test of the candidate's understanding of Confucianism, and it is impossible for a person who rejects Confucianism from his heart to pass. There is such a proverb of a certain ethnic group: Officials must apostate when they reach the fifth grade, which is what they say. Therefore, Yunxi can rest assured that all the people who can achieve fame and become civil officials can be reassured.

As for whether their descendants will have a recurrence, Yun Xi feels that all the other Semu people have been relocated, and the temple has been demolished, and there is no such environment around, so it is unlikely to repeat.

Yun Xi suddenly became interested after meeting Tie Xuan, and read the understanding of religion and Confucianism that he had written before from the beginning, and added many new insights before continuing to deal with the government.

……

……

"Your Highness, should these people be sent to Igo as lustful people?" Cao Xing, the commander of the Heyan Capital Division, and the political envoy Zuobu of the Heyan came to the palace of the king of Zhou together and asked Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou, such a question.

In the face of these brainless words, Zhu Hu understood what they meant, twisted his beard and lowered his head in thought.

The 'these people' that Cao Xing refers to are a people who live in Kaifeng Prefecture and are called blue hats by the Han people, and who call themselves the people of Yiqile. They had a uniform name in later generations: Jews.

As early as the Tang Dynasty, Yici Leye people came to the Central Plains together with the big cannibals and Persians, and were distributed in Shaanxi, Henan and other places. During the Song Dynasty, the people of Yici Leye in other places either integrated into the local Han people, or moved to Kaifeng Mansion, and now only Kaifeng Mansion has a Ci Leye people.

During the Mengyuan period, some people who gave joy also became Semu people, and they did evil together with the Mongols for the tigers; But there are also some people who are considered third-class people. And although they believe in the religion of the foreign people, they have no idea of proselytizing to the Han people, and only play in their own small circle.

Therefore, when the political envoy and the commander of the capital who received the holy decree thought of the people who gave joy to the industry, they were not sure whether they should move to Yiwu as the Semu people, so they came to ask Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou.

Zhu Hu is also in a dilemma. If you want to say that they are Semu people, there are many people who were third-class Han in the Mengyuan Dynasty, and most of them look the same as Han people; If they are Han Chinese, they also believe in the religion of the foreign fan, and there are some people who are second-class in the Yuan Dynasty. He has been hesitant for the past few days and has not been able to make a decision.

"Do you want to identify Meng Yuanshi as a Semu person, and those who were Han at that time should be regarded as a Han person?" Cao Xing said.

"No! Either move all of them to the northwest, or don't move any of them, and you can't move half of them and leave half of them. Zhu Hu said categorically.

"In that case, let's move to the northwest as all of them. The number of Semu people in the river is more than the actual number, and if you don't move them, you have to move the Han people, and it is easier to move them. The envoy said. These indicators are pressed on him, and if there is one less person, his evaluation is unqualified, so he would rather wronged a few people who are happy to work, and he has to complete the indicators. Moreover, it cannot be counted as a wrong.

Zhu Hu understood what Zhang Bu meant, and knew the heavy pressure he was carrying, so he could only say: "Just do what Zhang Bu said." ”
