Thinking about the charges that Wei Zhongxian fabricated for the six gentlemen, Zhu Youzhen had a toothache.

Is there a more outrageous crime than corruption and bribery? Didn't Lao Wei have any brains?

Who doesn't know that the Six Gentlemen are well-known moral models in the world?

Others don't say, Yang Lian and Wei Dazhong are not well-known incorruptible in the world? Both are exemplars of families with no money to spare.

If they say they are corrupt, someone has to believe it.

Are villains so brainless? Isn't Lao Wei very shrewd to look at?

In any case, you can't be so brainless to charge your opponent with a crime!

The eunuch's mind is really a little incomprehensible.

Zhu Youzhen felt that he needed to find someone to help him sort out Wei Zhongxian's psychological thoughts.

Wang Chengen is a good man, he has no big ambitions, and his personality is not very suitable.

Gao Qi is more focused on his thoughts, and his sense of fame is relatively strong, he may be able to understand Grandpa Wei's thoughts.

"Qi Qian, what do you think Wei Zhongxian means?" Zhu You asked bluntly by checking the file.

In the Xinwang Mansion, he no longer needs to beat around the bush, he urgently needs a high-level answer to support his conjecture.

Looking at the file, Gao Qiqian pondered for a moment before he cautiously spoke: "Your Highness, the slave thinks that Gonggong Wei wants to establish his authority." ”

"Liwei?" Zhu Youzhen was a little surprised, he really hadn't thought about this direction.

Such a rough Liwei?

"Gonggong Wei knew that the possibility of these six gentlemen taking bribes was very small, but he still used this crime, probably because he wanted to establish his authority in front of the literati." Gao Qi said thoughtfully.

"A good name for a literati. Gonggong Wei wants to use the means of completely destroying the reputation of the six gentlemen to shock the world."

Hehe, what a strange idea.

Probably Zhao Gao's intention to refer to the deer as a horse back then was also the same intention, right?

It's really hard for Zhu Youzhen to understand this kind of thinking.

The power thinking of the superiors?

Are they really free to write history?

Headache, really headache.

Zhu Youzhen is really very conflicted about this matter.

Starting from the interests of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youzhen wanted to see if Wei Zhongxian's method could succeed? This will be a great reference for him in the future.

It is estimated that even if Wei Zhongxian's method cannot succeed, it can greatly weaken the power of the gentry.

But on the other hand, Zhu Youzhen didn't want Yang Lian and others to die like this.

From the perspective of human beings, they don't deserve to die, let alone die like this.

In a sense, Yang Lian and others are the conscience representatives of the literati of this era. Regardless of their ability to do things, they are morally honest and noble.

Once the symbol of honesty and self-discipline is destroyed, it is hard to imagine the consequences if it is so blatantly relied on power and destroyed in a filthy way.

Weighing the two sides, Zhu Youzhen is completely unsure of the direction of development of things.

"Maybe it's only someone like me who has no faith to make this trade-off?" Zhu Youzhen smiled bitterly and laughed at himself.

Zhu Youzhen was very distressed.

The utilitarian idea told him: don't worry too much, just wait and see.

From a spiritual point of view, he came to the exact opposite.

The world is safe and perfect, and it lives up to its promise.

I can't remember whose poem this is, although it is a love story, Zhu Youzhen feels that it is very suitable for his current state of mind.

How to find a way to do both?

Zhu Youzhen felt that he really needed to find a strategist, a strategist who knew people's hearts well. There is still a big generation gap between his thinking and this era.

After thinking about it all night, Zhu Youzhen still decided to save people.

I still have to save it. At least not let them die like that.

Allowing them to die like this may destroy many people's faith, which Zhu Youzhen never wants to see.

He felt that the opportunity to weaken the enemy would definitely arise. And once people's faith collapses, it will be too difficult to rebuild from the ruins.

Zhu Youzhen very much doubted that in the history of the Chongzhen Dynasty, the minimum limit of civil officials was lower than the other, and later there was even a large-scale surrender, which was caused by the collapse of faith.

After deciding on the idea of saving people, Zhu Youzhen had to consider the thoughts of his eldest brother Zhu Youxiao.

Big brother really doesn't know about this? Or acquiescence?

If you want to kill the six gentlemen of Donglin, is it Wei Zhongxian or Zhu Youxiao?

It's about how easy it is to save people.

sacrificing himself to save others, Zhu Youzhen is not so great. He never wanted to involve himself in saving people.

Imperial Palace, Changchun Palace

Zhu Youzhen looked at the hot sample of the Song boat in Zhu Youxiao's hand, and was a little dazed.

This ship model is so beautifully made. The carpenter emperor is the carpenter emperor, and the craftsmanship is really nothing to say.

Looking at Zhu Youzhen's expression in a daze, Zhu Youxiao was very satisfied.

This is the expression of knowing the goods.

Unlike those eunuchs and guards, he will boast to the sky about anything he does. But if they really want to talk about the details, they will be dumb.

Zhu Youxiao made this hot sample so carefully, why didn't he want to see the expression of Xiao Wu in front of him.

"Xiao Wu, is this hot sample okay?" Zhu Youxiao asked with a smile.

"No problem, of course." Zhu Youzhen replied casually while fiddling with the ship model over and over again.

"Big brother, tell me quickly, what else do you have that you haven't taught me? There's no reason you're doing so much better than I do? Zhu Youzhen shouted.

Zhu Youxiao ignored Zhu Youzhen's unreasonable sentence, and Quan Dang didn't hear it. If you don't care about learning, you still complain that he doesn't teach well?

"Xiao Wu, what you said is right, shipbuilding requires special wood." Zhu Youxiao said excitedly.

What's going on? Zhu Youzhen was a little unsure of the context of his eldest brother. Which one is this going to sing?

"Xiao Wu, your Song ship belongs to an ocean-going cargo ship, do you know?" Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhu Youzhen with a blank look, and then asked.

"Yes." Zhu Youzhen nodded.

"I have arranged for someone to investigate carefully, and this ship can run to the ocean like a treasure ship." Zhu Youxiao said with great interest.

"Little Five, I have checked the old files in the Yongle period. Emperor Yongle's six northern expeditions were all brought back by treasure ships. The treasure ship was lost, so I built a few more Song ships to go to the ocean. In the future, the imperial court should not be short of money. ”

From Zhu Youxiao's happiness, it can be seen that the lack of money in the imperial court in the past two years has left a deep shadow on him.

"Big brother, send ships to the ocean again, can the court agree?" Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but remind his eldest brother that the civil officials would not agree to the Inner Palace's going abroad again.

"It's okay, Wei Daban is sorting out the Chaogang, and they don't care about these little things." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

"I will arrange for Dengzhou Shipyard to manufacture it, and it will be listed under the name of Dengzhou Sailor first. Wait for more than 10 boats, and then go out in the name of the Dengzhou Sailor, and when they know, it will be too late. Zhu Youxiao explained with confidence.

"Big brother, aren't you afraid that those imperial histories will be dead or alive if they know about it?" Zhu Youzhen asked again, and Zhu Youxiao seemed to be a little too optimistic.

Hearing this question, Zhu Youxiao's smile retracted, and his face showed a little sadness.
