Text Chapter 396 Four Rank Masters (3)
Hu and Lan naturally refer to Hu Weiyong and Lan Yu.
Hu Weiyong and Lan Yu are both founding heroes. Hu Weiyong was the last prime minister in Chinese history, while Lan Yu was the general and the Duke of Liangguo.
In the thirteenth year of Hongwu, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang rebelled against Hu Weiyong, slaughtered his three clans, sat down with his henchmen, and killed more than 15,000 people. After several major prisons, even the family of Taishi, the first founding hero of Wenchen, and the Korean prince Li Shanchang, did not escape more than 70 people. As a result of Hu Weiyong's case, more than 30,000 people were included in the "Record of the Traitorous Party" and announced to the world.
In the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang also punished Lanyu for the crime of rebellion. Under the introduction of Zhu Lianman, only those included in the "Records of Rebel Ministers" include one duke, thirteen marquises, two uncles, and 25,000 people.
After Hu Lan's prison, the founding heroes were almost swept away. The generals above the duke who were able to save their lives, except for Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Li Wenzhong, and Deng Yu who died in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, only Mu Ying and Tang He died behind Zhu Yuanzhang!
Zhu Yuanzhang killed the heroes and generals, leaving a bloody mark for the history of the Ming Dynasty. Exploring Zhu Yuanzhang's motives for the killing, most historians think that it is the abolition of the prime minister, the consolidation of monarchical power, and the punishment of corruption and lawlessness. However, the historian ignored a possibility, that is, Zhu Yuanzhang originally discovered that the generals around him who raised the banner and rebelled were never good people who were honest and honest. They were able to oppose the Yuan in the past, and they can also be anti-Ming today. It is better to get rid of it as soon as possible, so as to calm the world. That is, to fight the world with wicked people and rule the world with good people.
There is another point that cannot be left unmentioned, that is, Zhu Yuanzhang's growth experience and his jealous and hateful character.
After experiencing the storm of the great uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu who was born in poverty, hated the corruption and wanton behavior of officials, so the discipline law enforcement has always been known for its iron-faced selflessness.
One of the most famous examples is the Hu Sanshe incident.
In the eighteenth year of Zheng, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still the general of the Red Turban Army at that time, had just taken Nanjing (then known as Jiqing) and gained a foothold in the south of the Yangtze River. At this time, Hu Sanshe, the eldest son of the general Hu Dahai, was executed by Zhu Yuanzhang for violating the order to make wine. At that time, Hu Dahai was leading his troops to fight with Zhang Shicheng, and the ministers persuaded Zhu Yuanzhang to say, you killed Hu Dahai's eldest son, what if he rebelled before the battle?
Zhu Yuanzhang replied: "I'd rather make Hu Dahai betray me than make my decree work!" ”
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang's subjective starting point is undoubtedly good, and the temporary effect is undoubtedly good, and it is even necessary from the perspective of the environment at the time. However, he resorted to bloody slaughter, which was very wrong. While upholding the dignity of the law, he has also seriously undermined the rule of law. This confirms the old legal adage that without procedural justice, there can be no substantive justice.
Perhaps Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect that what he did left a disastrous legacy to the political ecology of the Ming Dynasty in the past three hundred years:
The opposition between the monarch's solipsism and the monarch's ministers.
In the Ming generation, scholars were like servants and slaves in front of the emperor and lost their independent personality. The emperor was free to let his slaves spank the minister's buttocks in the Forbidden City, until his skin was broken and his bones were broken.
The emperor's authority was strengthened on the surface, but in reality there was no benefit: the vastness and complexity of the world could not be governed by the energy and ability of the emperor alone? Zhu Yuanzhang was the first to set a precedent for spy politics, Zhu Di wiped out the opposition ten clans, Zhengde and Jiajing dynasties opened the wind of the court staff, Emperor Wanli did not go to court for forty years, Emperor Tianqi reused the eunuch Wei Zhongxian, and Emperor Chongzhen killed ministers like killing dogs. The contempt and indiscriminate killing of the ministers by the emperors of the Zhu family led to the hatred and revenge of the ministers against the royal family.
During the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang, there were bold officials who declared: Officials are boring! In the Zhengde and Jiajing dynasties, there were prefecture-level officials who arranged all kinds of political jokes for the founders of the Ming Dynasty. In the years of Wanli, Tianqi and Chongzhen, all kinds of colorful colors about the emperor's private life spread all over the streets, and some even openly named names. For example, about Emperor Zhengde's tour, it is like a Ming version of "Troubled Flowers".
Acting in private life was only one of the lowly forms of rebellion of the scholarly class.
The advanced form of rebellion, one is the will
The struggle in the field of knowledge and form theoretically refers directly to the emperor as a single man and a widow, and expounds the political concept of "the world is the master and the king is the guest." Huang Zongxi and others of the Donglin-Fushe clique, who shouted this political slogan, almost almost demanded the overthrow of the imperial system and the establishment of a people's republic.
The second is that the ministers, for their own safety, no longer believe in the emperor's assurances. Even if the emperor issued an edict in black and white, the officials did not dare to obey it. Because the emperor may turn his face on the minister at any time and tell you to do it, but he didn't tell you to do it! In order to shirk their responsibilities, the ministers allowed state affairs to erode. Because it is better to die in the country and the world than to die in the family and family!
As a descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Pingjian, the son of Shu Shi, one of the kings of the Ming Dynasty, of course, cannot stay out of the confrontation between the Heavenly Family and the scholar class.
This time to capture Guang'an, a large number of obscene books arranged by the emperors of the past dynasties were found from the city, and even Zhu Pingjin and his wife were also famous.
Recently, Luo Yuhong sandwiched a booklet in the letter he sent, saying that he bought it in Chengdu City. A person with the pen name Xingtian on the pamphlet said that the palace of the king of Shu was full of gold and silver, and the world was rich, but the people had little income and lived in embarrassment. As long as the vassal royal clan is eliminated, the people will naturally be rich, and the world will naturally be peaceful.
Luo Yuhong said in the letter that she had the intention to order the Qin descendants to put a long line to catch big fish, but the Qin descendants did not listen to her command and let Zhu Pingjin do it herself. Because the message group can't be commanded, his wife has already used the method of cutting off the funds of the message group to make things difficult for the Qin descendants. The subtext behind her, Zhu Pingjin naturally understands.
However, even political laymen such as his wife know that the gossip on the street is quite lethal, and Zhu Pingjin understands it even more. He had already thought about how to strengthen the control of public opinion, and when he returned to Chengdu, he would personally deploy the struggle in the ideological field. However, Liao Daheng opened his mouth to say "Hu and Lan are gone", which suddenly made Zhu Pingjin realize that "Hu Lan's end" is not only Liao Daheng's heart knot, but also Liu Zhibo, Chen Qichi, Wang Guochen, Shu Guoping, He Youyi, Sun Hong and other former Ming officials and gentry. If he could not establish a new set of national governance concepts that meet the needs of the times and prevent the recurrence of the Hu and Lan prisons, then it would be impossible for him to contain the rout of the Zhu Ming Dynasty in the ideological field from the root!
A bead of sweat the size of a bean oozed from Liao's taut helmet, slowly trickled down his forehead, and hung from his nose groove to his beard. He nervously caught the slightest change in Zhu Pingjin's face, hoping to see Zhu Pingjin's heart. However, Zhu Pingjian, the young son, is like an old monk who has entered the country, and he can't find the slightest trace of the battle between heaven and man.
This made Liao Tycoon more and more nervous. He knew that his answer today was a hole in God. The prison of Hu and Lan is a never-healing scar on the body of the Ming Dynasty, once it is ruthlessly torn open, you will see the white and bloody flesh and bones inside. If Zhu Pingjin holds a grudge against him, then even if he doesn't die today, sooner or later he will end up stealing his family and destroying his clan. But if Zhu Pingjin gives in to him now and promises a Danshu iron coupon on the spot, then he can maintain the current cooperation situation. In time, he may be able to find a new master in the great changes in the future. Perhaps the new master was just a cowardly or benevolent monarch, unlike the unfathomable one in front of him.
……
In the warm pavilion of the Yahou Hall in the southern county, one person lies quietly on the bed, and one person prostrates on the ground.
No one spoke, and the warm and dreary air was like a large ball of cotton wool, tightly wrapped around the body, unable to shake off, let alone leave.
The young man finally spoke.
"Duke Liao, could it be that Duke Liao wants this prince to promise a hereditary Danshu iron coupon on the spot?"
"It's over!" Liao Daheng's heart sank, "Could it be that his thoughts have been understood by the prince!" ”
"The king of man is the ruler of heaven and controls the world. Therefore, there are no two days in the sky, and there are no two kings in the country. What is the Mandate of Heaven, and the power is also! The king of the world is the king! Those who do not control the power of the people in the world call themselves kings in vain, and they will die by themselves! ”
The young man's words were gentle, but they hammered in Liao Tycoon's heart like a heavy hammer; It was like a jack of iron gates, which fell in front of Liao Daheng's eyes, blocking his thoughts. At this moment, suddenly in the backyard that had been silent for a long time
There was a scream like a pig:
"Kill me! Shizi! I beg you to be gracious, and give this official a death as soon as possible! ”
Seeing that Liao Daheng's face was pale, beads of sweat were rolling, his hands were on the ground, and he kept trembling. Zhu Pingjin knew that his naked threat had worked, so he returned to the topic:
"The world is in turmoil, and there is no way to control the chaos without fighting; Violence cannot be quelled without benevolence. Fight to win the world, and rule the world with benevolence. At the beginning of the country, Taizu Xinghu and Lan Prison may have had a last resort. If we talk about it in vain, it is against the way of our descendants and ministers! Blue jade, dedicated to the king and father-in-law, also my ancestor. Now stay in the Duanli Gate of the Shu Palace, and there are sacrifices at four o'clock a year. Our descendants should learn to dedicate themselves to the king, not only to keep the minister's festival, but also to be filial! ”
"What the prince said is very true, the old man lost his words today!"
"Liao Gong doesn't have to blame himself!"
Zhu Pingjin called Liao Daheng up, waited for him to take his seat, and turned the conversation around: "Hu Lan's prison, Taizu can do it, but our descendants can't do it." In the past, the Taigong said that King Wen was benevolent, virtuous, righteous, and Tao, and King Wen was allowed. This son once wrote four characters with Master Shu, dare to ask Liao Gong if he knows? ”
"The world is for the public! Master Shu praised the son of the world when he met people, and he had the ambition of a saint...... The minister has heard of it! These four characters are from the "Book of Rites, Rites and Fortunes" ......"
Liao Daheng is worthy of being a Jinshi, and he has been reciting the dialogue between Confucius and his disciple Yanyan without leaking.
"The first saint is pedantic!" Zhu Pingjin suddenly laughed, "The present and the past are different, how can we worship the past and suppress the present?" Three generations of governance, have you ever seen a cannon fire? Times change, when the times change! However, Confucius is a public sentence in the world, which is very much in line with the meaning of this world. Taigong Yiyun: The world is not the world of one person, but the world of the world. ”
Zhu Pingjin's words made Liao Daheng puzzled. He said tentatively:
"The prince is saying that the prince will share the world with the people of the world?"
"Of course. Including Liao Gong! Zhu Pingjin laughed. Seeing Liao Daheng raise his head in surprise, Zhu Pingjin explained:
"The Danshu iron coupon is given by the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven can take it back. Since the beginning of Henkel, and in this dynasty, the Danshu iron coupon has been awarded to the hero, which has become customized. However, the founding of this dynasty, thirty-four golden books and iron coupons, how many people died well? TAIZU HAS DECREED THAT THE REBEL IS NOT YOU! THIS SON OF THE WORLD IS SHARED WITH THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD, IS IT NOT MORE EFFECTIVE THAN A DANSHU IRON COUPON? ”
"I don't know why the son of the world shares the world with the people of the world?"
Liao Daheng was asking for the details of the operation to judge whether Zhu Pingjian's words were serious or he was lying to him.
Zhu Pingjin had already thought about a happy life in the future, and then he said: "The affairs of the world will be decided by the people of the world." The son of this world only rules the world. The people of the world are guilty, and the people of the world will rule them, and the son of this world can be forgiven but not killed. In this way, benevolence is all to the son of this world; The people in the world are confused, and the son of this world will be temporarily judged. In this way, the authority is all vested in the son of this world; People in the world are stupid and stupid, and the son of this world will appear to advise, so ......"
Zhu Pingjin was describing his retirement life with the right to have money and leisure, but was coldly interrupted by Liao Daheng: "In this way, the prince wants to violate the holy precept of Taizu and reset the prime minister?" ”
Zhu Pingjin was about to speak, but suddenly closed his mouth.
This is clearly Liao Daheng trying to test whether Zhu Pingjian's words today are true or false. Because no matter whether Zhu Pingjin answers yes or no, he violates his so-called "the world is for the public" principle!
This old fox was almost killed!
"Whether to reset the phase, wait for the world to decide, and the people of the world will decide, and this son doesn't care!"
"The meaning of the son of the world is only to rule the world and share the world with the people of the world?"
"Fuck X! The dog gnawed on the bones and didn't let go! Zhu Pingjin gritted his teeth with hatred. He had the intention to call Jiang Lu and invite Liao Daheng to meet Zhang Jimeng in the backyard and come to the scene to warn him. But his rich experience in officialdom subconsciously stopped this thought: to be a leader, the most important thing to avoid being angry!
"Since he is the lord of the world, he naturally wants to protect the country and the people. To protect the country and the people, there is no army to do? If Liao Gong can command the Protector Army, he might as well do it himself! ”
