Jingtai 6th year, May.

Gu Yi, the political envoy of Shandong, Li Chengming, the governor of Shandong, and Zhu Qiaozuo, the envoy of Shandong, jointly signed a letter of reciprocation, the content of which was that Liu Juntao, the chief military officer of Shandong Town, suppressed the literati in various parts of Shandong, so that Wu Sheng was weak in various parts of Shandong, and the scholars in various places had a difficult life.

But at the same time, the three of them also wrote in the recital: "Shandong scholars were originally arrogant, and they were repeatedly criticized for this. ”

This is to divide the responsibility for the conflict, and not all of them are blamed on Liu Juntao, but it can be regarded as Gu Yi, the political envoy of Shandong, Li Chengming, the governor of Shandong, and Zhu Qiaozuo, the envoy of Shandong, who left a way back for themselves.

After this recital was sent to the central government, more than a dozen scholars who were beaten by the people in Jinan Fucheng also submitted a joint submission and were sent to the Yamen of Yingtianfu.

Immediately afterwards, this submission was also sent to Emperor Jingtai.

After reading these two memoranda and submissions, Emperor Jingtai summoned Yu Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Chen Xun, the first assistant of the cabinet, to discuss whether Liu Juntao's actions in Shandong were appropriate.

After Yu Qian and Chen Xun came to the imperial study, they successively looked at the joint recital of Gu Yi, the political envoy of Shandong, Li Chengming, the governor of Shandong, and Zhu Qiaozuo, the envoy of Shandong, as well as the submissions of more than a dozen scholars, and the latter two also insisted on their own words.

Yu Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, naturally advocated supporting Liu Juntao, thinking that the Ming warriors should be like this, if even the Ming warriors are bloodless and do not advocate force, then what else does the Ming rely on?

Chen Xun, the first assistant of the cabinet, believes that the martial artists of the Ming Dynasty naturally want to be martial, but they should not even let the people be so martial.

Chen Xun believes that if the people are also so martial, it will inevitably cause local turmoil, and when the time comes, the local area will be full of rampant martial arts, how can the world be able to maintain peace and stability for a long time?

Chen Xun's opinion also represents the power of the civil servants in the court, and these civil servants wish that the folk literature would be weak, so that the society would be extremely stable, and the officials in various places could rule by doing nothing.

However, this opinion was directly rejected by Yu Qian.

"Your Majesty, Chen Ge Lao's judgment, the minister does not dare to agree!"

As he spoke, Yu Qian took out a notebook, which Liu Juntao entrusted Yu Qian to forward to Emperor Jingtai.

"Your Majesty, General Liu is not just advocating force, but advocating advocating literature and martial arts, this compromise has been made very clear, please make a decision!"

Emperor Jingtai did not explicitly support either of Yu Qian and Chen Xun, but opened the recital and looked at it.

Liu Juntao discussed in detail the way of civil and military affairs in this letter, believing that once the country emphasized literature and suppressed military force, it was doomed to national destruction, which was the case in the Song Dynasty; The country's emphasis on military force and light on literature is doomed to national chaos, as evidenced by the chaotic history of five dynasties and ten countries!

Therefore, Liu Juntao believes that only by advocating literature and martial arts can the Ming Dynasty reproduce the prosperity of the Han and Tang dynasties and reproduce the grandeur of the Ming Dynasty.

In this recital, Liu Juntao believes that the dynasty has gradually begun to emphasize the text, although it has not yet reached the level of emphasizing the text and suppressing the military, but this has set a very bad precedent.

Moreover, since the defeat of Tumubao, Liu Juntao believes that the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, and even the Ming Dynasty, have begun to lose the tiger and wolf nature at the beginning of the founding of the country!

Liu Juntao also gave an example in the compromise: the reason why the Han and Tang dynasties were able to defeat or even exterminate the Xiongnu, Turkic, Khitan and other powerful Hu tribes was not only because of their strong national strength and strong military strength; At the beginning of the dynasty or even a few years ago, the military strength of the imperial court was still very considerable, and the national strength was also extremely strong, but now why was it defeated by the civil fort?

It is because the country has lost its tiger and wolf nature from top to bottom, which does not mean that the soldiers are not brave and do not have the courage to fight the Tartars in blood, but now the country is full of culture, and the warriors have begun to be suppressed, and the dangerous situation of using literature to control the military has begun to appear, which will make the Ming Dynasty lose the blood and courage of the Han and Tang dynasties!

"In the long run, my Daming Erlang will become a docile lamb under the education of poetry and books, and without the guarantee of force, the surrounding Tatars will invade frequently, and the Ming Dynasty will never be at peace!"

Liu Juntao compared the Han and Tang dynasties with the Ming Dynasty and said: The key to the strength of the Han and Tang dynasties is not in the national strength or wealth, but in the hegemonic spirit of the Han people at that time!

At that time, the men of the Han family recited the heirloom of etiquette poems and books in one hand, and fought the world with a sword and iron horse in the other, and the sages were not only able to chant poems and export chapters to pass on through the ages, but also to leap horses and carry guns, and run rampant in the desert to defend China! This is the real reason why Hantang is strong!

Back then, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to go north to the desert to counterattack the Xiongnu, and issued an edict to the children of good families who wanted to join the Han army to bring their own horses and weapons to gather in Chang'an.

After the edict, I saw the land of Lingnan in the south, the state of Youji in the north, the land of Xiliang Sanfu in the west, and the coast of the Bohai Sea in Shandong in the east.

It has been recorded in the history books: When the edict of the Han Dynasty came, there were more women and children, old and young people, and men went to Chang'an to listen to the announcement! Even the prisoners on death row in various places learned of this, and they all clamored to go north to Chang'an to kill Hu, ashamed of dying on the execution ground, and proud of dying in battle! At that time, the fierce nature of Hermes-Epitek can be seen! This is also the origin of the fact that Guoheng is destroyed by weakness and the lone man is dyed by strength!

"This is what my Han family should look like, how can a husband play with words all day long and be a daughter!"

At this time, although the status of the martial arts began to decline, and one of the initiators was Emperor Jingtai, the spirit of martial arts has left a lot.

When Emperor Jingtai saw the "roar" in the compromise, he couldn't help but admire!

"Although Liu Zongbing acted radically and was suspected of indiscriminate use of force, his original intentions were still good, and he was also loyal to the imperial court."

Emperor Jingtai put down the twists and turns, and set the tone for the impeachment of Liu Juntao by Gu Yi, the political envoy of Shandong, Li Chengming, the governor of Shandong, and Zhu Qiaozuo, the envoy of Shandong.

Then, Emperor Jingtai said to Chen Xun, the first assistant of the cabinet: "Although the dozen or so scholars were beaten, they were not the hands of the soldiers and horses of Shandong Town, and this matter has nothing to do with Shandong Town, not to mention that these scholars are still blocking the door and cursing Liu Zongbing, it really shouldn't be, this matter is over, don't mention it again in the future!" ”

Chen Xun, the first assistant of the cabinet, sighed slightly when he heard this, and then took the order.

Then, Emperor Jingtai said to Qian: "Mr. Liu's actions are too extreme, Yu Aiqing had better mention it, so as not to bother me with these lawsuits!" ”

Yu Qian also bowed down to receive the order.

Ten days later, Gu Yi, the political envoy of Shandong, Li Chengming, the governor of Shandong, and Zhu Qiaozuo, the envoy of Shandong, received the will of Emperor Jingtai almost at the same time.

Emperor Jingtai did not mention the impeachment of Liu Juntao by the three people, but warned the three to do their own things and not to "make trouble without permission"!

Seeing this, Gu Yi, the political envoy of Shandong, Li Chengming, the governor of Shandong, and Zhu Qiaozuo, the envoy of Shandong, were all secretly frightened, and they all dared not say anything.

At the same time, Gu Yi, the political envoy of Shandong, Li Chengming, the governor of Shandong, and Zhu Qiaozuo, the envoy of Shandong, also made great efforts to take care of the families of the dozen or so scholars for a while, so as not to make these people continue to make trouble without knowing what to do.

It didn't take long for the dozen or so scholars and their families to seek high hopelessness, and they also received warnings from yamen in various places: Don't wantonly frame the general army!

As a result, these people also retreated and soon disappeared.

However, during this time, another shocking news came out: Emperor Jingtai was seriously ill, and the palace had arranged for the imperial doctor to accompany him.

Although Emperor Jingtai was still able to stand up to the court and handle government affairs, as time went by, the news has spread to everyone.

After Liu Juntao received the news from the Ministry of Intelligence, he also determined that Emperor Jingtai was indeed sick, and it was a stubborn disease!

In this way, Liu Juntao realized that perhaps the day of great change has begun to quietly approach!
