In the hot summer, when the days are long and the nights are short, and the streets of Jinling City are baked by the scorching sun, Liu Kongzhao, the governor in charge of public safety in Nan 0 Beijing, is pulling cartloads of grain and other daily necessities back and forth between the shops and houses in Jinling City, and every time he arrives, he has to ask what losses he has suffered in this procession, whether he has been injured or died as a result. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

According to the instructions of His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Youxiao, the scholars and officials of this parade were severely punished, their family property was confiscated, and their relatives and friends were imprisoned, but for ordinary people, if they were robbed or beaten to death during the procession, they were given preferential compensation; Even those who were deceived into participating in the parade and even ramming the officers and soldiers of the imperial court were forgiven, and even the families of the casualties were condoled.

After all, it had already been bloody enough when suppressing the procession, and if it was worse, Zhu Youxiao was not sure whether the imperial court could really occupy the hearts of the people in Jiangnan.

On the one hand, Zhu Youxiao published a long editorial in the Da Ming Ribao newspaper on forgiving the people and taking responsibility for corrupt officials and ill-intentioned people in their intention to hijack the common people and disrupt the world, and on the other hand, he ordered the Heavenly Inspector to post forgiveness notices and pension plans everywhere, and directly pointed out that the pension money was issued by the Royal Weaving Bureau and the Royal Industrial Company, which they repeatedly proposed to ban, and that the cash was withdrawn directly from the Royal Bank.

It is to make the people realize that the Royal Weaving House and the Royal Industrial Company, which have been explained by the scholars as a sharp tool for scraping the people, are not some beasts, but really benefit the people and are beneficial to the people.

As soon as the notice came out, public opinion was in an uproar, and the royalists wept bitterly and sighed at the mind of His Majesty today, and when Liu Kongzhao and others, who were responsible for the specific distribution, delivered the condolence money and grain to the people of various households, many people also burst into tears.

This was put aside in the past, they were going to be wiped out if they fought against the court like this, but now His Majesty the Emperor has forgiven them, which shows that the emperor still loves the people, and the Ming Dynasty has not abandoned them.

"Since Your Majesty can forgive the sins of the common people, should you forgive the sins of the Confucian people? Wang Siren, Chen Jiru and others are all famous people in the south of the Yangtze River, and they have always been elegant, and this parade is just bewitched by others, and what they did is just Dong Qichang, and there is no crime of blasphemy, please be generous! ”

But there are always people who say something inappropriate and inconsequential, and in the court, Wang Zhengzhi, the right attendant of the South 0 Jinghu Department, made such an admonition to Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao immediately stood up and shouted: "Presumptuous! What am I going to do with them, it's not your turn to talk more! Come on, pull this person down, cut it down! ”

All the ministers were shocked, but they didn't expect His Majesty to suddenly become so angry, and he was about to kill Wang Zhengzhi, the right attendant of the household, Wang Zhengzhi himself looked at His Majesty in confusion, and muttered: "Your Majesty, Weichen is just, just think." ”

"I just think something, in the end I am the emperor, or you are the emperor, I didn't ask you, how to deal with Wang Siren and other Jiangnan celebrities What do you have to do with you, what do you do as a household official, don't say it anymore, drag it on!"

Zhu Youxiao beckoned, it was the people of the two brocade guards who dragged Wang Zhengzhi, the left servant of the Nanjing household department, for the next period, and Wang Zhengzhi himself shouted that he was wronged, isn't it normal to admonish the emperor, why did His Majesty suddenly become so angry.

Li Mingrui couldn't help but smile secretly, and Wang Yongguang, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, did not stand up to plead, as they were familiar with the rules of the court, they naturally understood that the reason why His Majesty treated the scholars and the common people differently in this parade was that His Majesty wanted to tighten the monarchy's power and suppress the civilian forces, but at the same time, he also wanted to show mercy to the people, so that the people of Jiangnan would not be angry with the Ming Dynasty because of the court's brutal suppression of the procession, and even set off the banner that was raised.

Some civil officials also fixed their minds in their previous habits, thinking that as long as they did not insult the monarch, they could force the monarch to act according to their will.

But with the suppression of the gentry at all levels and the murder of Wang Zhengzhi in the court, the officials have also begun to realize that there is no way to confront His Majesty now, and the only thing they can do is to be obedient.

"Your Majesty, Wang Siren and others have always regarded themselves very highly, thinking that if they are virtuous, they can pinpoint the disadvantages of the times and point out the country, and even in their eyes, even Your Majesty, you are no more than them have hills and valleys in their chests, and their arrogance can be seen;

But in the view of Weichen, it would be a pity to kill them together, not to mention that they had a great influence in this Jiangsu and Zhejiang area, and their protégés did not say, and they also did one or two good deeds that benefited the villagers, only to say that they are all well-educated people, and they have spent countless money and wealth in my Ming Dynasty since they learned from Mengxue, so that they have this belly of knowledge, and it is a pity if they do not let them sell their goods to the emperor's family;

According to the minister's view, it is better to let them feed back to the people, exile three thousand miles, and go to the barbarian land to educate and educate, when the new marquis Wencheng was able to pacify the rebellion of King Ning, it is not related to his derogation of Longyang, and it is precisely because of being trapped in Longyang that the local students began to become bright and studious, and their hearts are towards the king! ”

is also to intercede for Wang Siren's Jiangnan celebrities, but Li Mingrui's way is much better than Wang Zhengzhi's, not only because Li Mingrui is close to Zhu Youxiao, but also because Li Ge's starting point is to stand on the side of His Majesty the Emperor and the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing that Zhu Youxiao nodded, with a look of approval on his face, the ministers who were not stupid naturally understood how to get along with His Majesty the current emperor, and knew what kind of ministers the current emperor liked.

"Li Qing is right, in the end, these people are not evil, they are not traitors and thieves, like the Donglin Party, they try to control the government and have bad intentions, but these people are also stubborn and pedantic, and they only have his words and death!

As everyone knows, where is this abandoning the king! It's a pity to kill them all, I'm not the kind of person who has to be killed, my Ming is not a barbarian state that doesn't eat grains, and since they really care about Daming and want to solve the worries of the monarch's father, I will also fulfill them, let them go to Yunguichuan and Liangguang!

These people have been in the study for a long time, and naturally they only know how to find the way to govern the country in the Four Books and Five Classics, but they don't know that the way to govern the country is in the people, in the firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, and how many people can be educated, have a bright heart, be loyal to the king and love the people! Let them go to the backwoods and renovate well! ”

Saying that, Zhu Youxiao issued an order to set up a Confucian Scholars Rural Reform Group, and Li Mingrui was directly the team leader, and was fully responsible for the exile of criminal officials, juzi, students, and children in the Jiangnan region to Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Liangguang, Qinjin, Liaodong and other places for rural reform.

Within three days, Li Mingrui had organized a group consisting of the two capitals, including the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials, as well as political envoys and deputy envoys from the western and northern regions, and within five days, it was decided that the Confucian scholars would be temporarily sent to serve as the instructor of the government or the county to teach and teach.
