Obviously, Wen Tianxiang was still opposed to Ye Yingwu suppressing all the warrior clans from beginning to end, because sometimes it would be counterproductive to drive out the enemy completely, especially when this kind of duel had risen to the level of national domination.

"Your Majesty, you still have to leave a bottom line in doing things," Wen Tianxiang said in a deep voice, "The most important thing in governing the country is the word 'checks and balances', if Your Majesty blindly reuses some and hits others, sooner or later something will happen, which is why the minister has been hesitant before." ”

Ye Yingwu hummed lightly: "Then Aiqing, what do you think I should do now?" ”

Wen Tianxiang pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Actually, this matter is not so difficult to solve, does Your Majesty remember how to deal with Wu Ge and the others at the beginning?" ”

Exhaling lightly, Ye Yingwu nodded. Wu Ge and others were instigated by You Xuanfu to commit treason and rebellion, Ye Yingwu in order to prevent causing greater panic, so he did not kill the nine clans according to the custom, but only executed Wu Ge and other main culprits Ling Chi, and the rest of the family members were actually lightly punished, to show that the Ming court was definitely not to kill innocents indiscriminately and vent anger.

And Wen Tianxiang mentioned "Wu Ge", naturally he also suggested that Ye Yingwu take the method of dealing with Wu Ge at the beginning, for the family that made a rebellion this time, only dealt with its leading figures, and actually hit these people, this family will at least languish for a while, and it has also given them enough lessons, as long as they are not stupid, they still know how they should deal with themselves.

And if Da Ming continues to use heavy codes to deal with these families, and even does not hesitate to kill them, then it will be easy to attract the resistance of the rest of the scholars who are still waiting, after all, today the butcher's knife fell on the heads of these families, who knows if it will also fall on their heads one day? A family's actions are about taking precautions and "planning for a hundred years" for the family, so doing so is likely to backfire, and instead push many wait-and-see families to the opposite side of the imperial court, which Wen Tianxiang does not want to see, and it is not a good thing for Ye Yingwu.

As long as it does not exceed this bottom line, then the entire dynasty can move forward smoothly, and beyond this bottom line, the two sides will evolve the court dispute into a life-and-death party dispute, then the development of the court and the country itself will naturally be hit hard because of the instability of the policy and the drastic changes in officialdom.

The Northern Song Dynasty is a good example, the struggle between the old school and the reformers has developed to the point of life and death, the two sides take turns to come to power, and after coming to power, they do not hesitate to denigrate each other's policies and greatly belittle the other party's officials, so that in the end, the party struggle has become white-hot, seriously affecting the stability of the country. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the battles between Jia Rudao and Jiang Wanli and others were equally cruel, and even when Ye Yingwu was dealing with Mongolia, he had to beware of knives that could be stabbed from behind at any time, so it can be said that Ye Yingwu himself was also an experience and victim of party strife.

Therefore, when Wen Tianxiang said this, it made Ye Yingwu vigilant, if he suppressed the Shi clan too much, when the Shi clan eased up, would he retaliate even more desperately against the industrial and commercial class who stepped on their upper position? At that time, this partisan struggle will no longer be a struggle between the nobles and the family, but a struggle between several social classes, and even if it is not fierce, such a struggle will seriously hinder the progress of society, and even cause society to regress.

"What Your Majesty needs to do is nothing more than a radish and a stick," Wen Tianxiang said in a deep voice, "Now that Your Majesty has swung this big stick, what you need is a radish and tell the rest of the scholars who are still waiting and watching that the court does not want to do anything to the entire Shi clan, but just because these scholars really don't take the court seriously, so the court must have some measures." ”

"I also know this truth, but now I can think of two things," Ye Yingwu said thoughtfully, "One is to hold the unfinished palace examination as soon as possible, and if it drags on like this, there is no way to explain it to the scholars of the world." The second is to choose a young master and a companion for the emperor's eldest son, after all, the child is also older and has to start reading. ”

These two points were expected by Wen Tianxiang a long time ago, and both he and Ye Yingwu knew that these two items were far from enough to reassure the family, after all, this was something that had to be implemented sooner or later for the imperial court, and if these two items were used to appease the scholars and scholars, it would be a little hasty and perfunctory. Ye Yingwu obviously had to ask Wen Tianxiang for advice because of this.

"Actually, Your Majesty, there is a good choice." Wen Tianxiang said in a deep voice.

Ye Yingwu stared at the fishing line swaying with the breeze on the water: "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"The former Song Dynasty is dead, and as a new dynasty, Your Majesty can order the compilation of the History of the Song Dynasty." Wen Tianxiang looked at Ye Yingwu, "The compilation of the History of the Song Dynasty is definitely a huge project, and the manpower of the Hanlin Academy and the Academy alone is simply not enough, so Your Majesty might as well take this opportunity to ask for people from various scholars, after all, these families and their children are all from famous families, and they have read poetry and books since childhood, and in compiling books, it is a good experience for them, and for the imperial court, it is also a good talent, and the imperial court can also take this opportunity to test the children of these families." ”

"For those families, sending people to compile the annals of history is also a matter of honoring their ancestors." Ye Yingwu took it with a smile.

Compiling history books for the previous dynasty is the unshirkable responsibility of the court and historians of the later dynasties, and through the revision of history, it can be more explained that the new dynasty replaced the old dynasty in the name of righteousness, and it is a very good tool to establish the prestige of the rule. In another time and space, the Mongols who perished in the Southern Song Dynasty couldn't wait to compile a history book for the Former Song Dynasty as soon as they got off horseback, and what they did naturally was to emphasize to the Han people the correctness of replacing the Former Song Dynasty and possessing the Chinese Mandate of Heaven.

Of course, there are drawbacks to such a hasty compilation of historical books, even if the person who presided over the compilation at that time was a heroic figure among the Mongols - Toto, but after all, there was still a big gap between the Mongols and the Han Chinese, so the "History of the Song Dynasty" was criticized in later generations, and was even criticized for being inferior to the "Song Huiyao" in the "Yongle Canon".

Thinking of the "Yongle Canon", Ye Yingwu was suddenly shocked, and looked back at Wen Tianxiang suddenly, why did he forget the "Yongle Canon", instead of compiling historical books for the former Song Dynasty, why not directly imitate the original intention of "Yongle Canon" and "Siku Quanshu", and compile a set of books on Chinese literature, history and other aspects?

"Your Majesty?" Wen Tianxiang was taken aback by Ye Yingwu's abnormality.

"Aiqing, what do you say if I gather people to summarize, sort out, and edit all kinds of books in China throughout the ages?" Ye Yingwu's voice even trembled a little, "For thousands of years in China, there is indeed a need for such a set of books to express the greatness of our nation's existence. ”

Wen Tianxiang was stunned for a moment, and directly reached out and grabbed Ye Yingwu's wrist, not even caring if he was rude to do this, his voice became trembling unconsciously, and even with an incredible tone: "Your Majesty, is this true?!" ”

"Why can't you take it seriously?" Ye Yingwu raised his eyebrows and pretended to be angry.

"Your Majesty's move should be an unprecedented event!" Wen Tianxiang muttered, and even spoke a little incoherently, "Minister, why didn't the minister think of it before." ”

Ye Yingwu chuckled lightly, and didn't say much, don't say that you didn't think of it, if it wasn't for the compilation of the "History of the Song Dynasty", I'm afraid I wouldn't have thought of it. And Ye Yingwu himself knows very well what it means to compile such a large encyclopedia, which means that it is an unprecedented event in the current cultural world, and it means that it is truly immortal.

And the scholars have won fame, isn't what they are doing is to leave a name in history? So when he heard Ye Yingwu's decision, even Wen Tianxiang couldn't help himself, if Ye Yingwu could really make such a plan, then it would definitely arouse the great favor of the various scholars and even the entire Shilin.

"This matter is not trivial, it is a thousand years of achievement," Ye Yingwu said in a deep voice, since he wants to compile a historical record comparable to the "Yongle Canon", then he can't be perfunctory, let alone like a certain perfect old man, nominally compiling a book, but in fact to erase all the remarks that are unfavorable to his own family, "Whether it is you and me, or anyone who compiles this historical record, we must be responsible for the heavy responsibility on our shoulders and all the people who have worked hard to write these books throughout the ages." ”

Wen Tianxiang nodded solemnly, Ye Yingwu is definitely not the kind of emperor who makes a decision to pat his head, all this can only be regarded as an idea, even if it is implemented, it will take a while, but this does not prevent the imperial court from now on to release rumors and fanfare to convene and select personnel, for the current Ye Yingwu, it is enough to have these.

"Fishing rod, Your Majesty, the fishing rod has moved!" Wen Tianxiang shouted suddenly, and Ye Yingwu also reacted, and suddenly lifted the fishing rod, but the fishing rod only shook slightly, and the fish did not come out of the water. And Ye Yingwu and Wen Tianxiang glanced at each other, and they both showed joy.

Meet the big guy!

"Quick!" Ye Yingwu gritted his teeth and dragged the fish to the shore, as the fishing line rose, a big carp with flashing sparkling waves jumped out of the water, and struggled to fall back again.

And Xiao Yangzi and other guards of course can't sit idly by from a distance at this time, they are busy running over to help, and even a few guys have begun to unwind and prepare to go into the water, such a big carp, if the fishing line is broken, then simply go into the water to catch it, and say nothing to let it run under the nose of His Majesty.

But fortunately, the carp dragged the fishing line back and forth for a long time just now, and it was obviously exhausted, Ye Yingwu pulled it out of the water again, this time naturally it would not give it a chance to go back, Wen Tianxiang first stretched out the net pole in his hand, and held the huge carp, the carp's weight was obviously not even expected by Wen Tianxiang, so with a shake of his hand, the fish almost ran out.

"Aiqing, hurry up, don't make a mistake." Ye Yingwu said with a smile.

Wen Tianxiang pointed to the big fish: "Your Majesty, this big carp is here to see the true dragon emperor, and he wants the carp to jump over the dragon gate, but the minister is just a courtier under His Majesty's seat, of course he can't hold this guy." ”

And the rest of the guards also secretly sighed on the side, such a big carp, I'm afraid that it is not going to become a sperm, but also thanks to His Majesty being able to bump into it, and can successfully drag the fish up. And this may really be like Wen Tianxiang said, a good auspicious rui.

Ye Yingwu stretched out his finger and pointed at Wen Tianxiang, crying and laughing: "You, when did you learn to pat on the back, you are really making people." ”

And Wen Tianxiang was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "Such a trivial matter, the minister compliments Your Majesty, Your Majesty is in a happy mood, and the minister is also happy in it, but it does not hurt, so why not do it?" ”

Everything in the world, thousands of clothes, no sycophants, Ye Yingwu smiled, didn't say anything, but asked Xiao Yangzi and them to set up a pot to boil water, and this big carp was thrown directly into the pot, and the two fish before were not treated so well, and they were grilled on the charcoal fire.

Ye Yingwu skillfully added onions, ginger, star anise, pepper and other condiments to the pot - this was not a small thing in the university dormitory in his previous life, so although Ye Yingwu was not good at cooking, he was familiar with this cooking - and then picked up the spoon and stirred, and a fragrance had risen with the wind.

Wen Tianxiang helped add firewood to the bottom of the pot, when the two of them were in Cixi and Xingzhou before, once they had free time, they really didn't do this kind of thing, so Ye Yingwu was familiar with each other, and Wen Tianxiang also picked up all the techniques that were almost forgotten.

"Aiqing," in the rising steam, Ye Yingwu suddenly looked up at Wen Tianxiang, "'Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh', but it is not easy to cook a small fresh, and it is even more difficult to govern a big country." We have come to the present step by step, how many grievances have we endured and how many responsibilities have we shouldered? Aiqing, do you remember? ”

I didn't expect Ye Yingwu to suddenly explain this sentence in this way, Wen Tianxiang suddenly fell silent, and the water vapor came with the wind, making his vision a little blurry, but Wen Tianxiang knew that the reason why his eyes were blurred was not only because of the water vapor, but also because of the tears that were faintly rolling in his eyes.

He is a person with a steady and stubborn personality, and he is also a person who values love and righteousness, Ye Yingwu's question just now was like a sharp blade, and finally cut through the last defense in Wen Tianxiang's heart. The hands in the sleeves were slowly clenched and slowly released, this martyr hero in another time and space, the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty in this time and space, silently turned his head and looked at the mighty river flowing eastward in the river wind.

How much pressure have you endured and how many grievances have you endured along the way? Maybe in the eyes of others, Ye Yingwu is so domineering, but in fact, only Wen Tianxiang, who followed him and silently accompanied him to endure all this, could understand.

At the beginning, Ye Yingwu entered Lin'an with the battle of Xiangyang, if it weren't for Jia Yidao and others behind the back, Ye Yingwu would not have been entangled with them in Lin'an, whether it was a duel between the north and Mongolia, or the control of the center, it would be easy for Ye Yingwu; Later, Zhang Hongfan crossed the sea to attack Lin'an, and it was Jia Rudao and others who arranged many obstacles on the way to Ye Yingwu's support, but he opened the door and surrendered to Mongolia・・・・・・

It can be said that Ye Yingwu has come to this day step by step, while fighting with the enemy on the front line, while beware of the enemy stabbing the knife behind him, and the feats of pouring the sky have turned into nothingness in an instant, if it weren't for Ye Yingwu gritting his teeth to bear this pressure, bearing this grievance step by step to the end, and opening a path with bloody hands, I am afraid that at this moment, he and Wen Tianxiang are just an idler or two white bones on the battlefield.

After Ye Yingwu opened up the South Seas and launched a comprehensive Northern Expedition, which time was not under the pressure of the government and the opposition, and which time did he not press his own fate and even the fate of the entire country? Because he saw it very clearly, as long as Huaxia continued to favor the southeast and continued to be unenterprising, it would only delay its demise for decades, and there was no difference between the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Southern Dynasties, and the Southern Tang Dynasty of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, which favored the south, so even if it was pointed out by Qianfu, Ye Yingwu would take Huaxia out.

Fortunately, he succeeded, but Wen Tianxiang knew how much Ye Yingwu had endured before he succeeded. Standing in front of him at this moment, a mature and steady Ye Yingwu was tempered by thousands of tempers, not raised in the deep palace and walked over calmly, so Ye Yingwu had the maturity that did not match his age, and only then did he have the spirit of a king who could be free.
