The quiet needle drop in the huge upper study can be heard, Zhang Pengxi, Ma Qi, Xiao Yongzao, Song Zhu, Wang Luo and other five ministers in the upper study are silent, the Manchu and Han Dynasty dispute is actually a large-scale power struggle, Zhang Pengxi, Wang Luo is confident, Ma Qi, Xiao Yongzao, Song Zhu is more confident, to put it bluntly, the Qing Dynasty is a Manchurian world after all, they cannot lose.

For this imminent large-scale Manchu and Han dispute, both sides of the Manchu and Han sides were both nervous and expectant, but at this juncture, Zhenwu suddenly made a move to disrupt the situation, and they were naturally frustrated and annoyed, and at the same time, they were secretly thinking in their hearts, what will Zhenwu do next? And how to deal with it?

A rush of footsteps broke the dullness of the upper study, and a little eunuch hurriedly walked in, and when the door stopped, he glanced at the room, and then raised his voice: "The emperor has an order." ”

As soon as they heard the decree, Zhang Pengxi, Ma Qi and others hurriedly got up and knelt down a few steps forward, and the little eunuch continued: "The emperor has a decree to announce that the five ministers of the study will go to the Qianqing Palace to meet him. ”

As soon as the five of them heard this, they knew that Zhenwu was about to shoot one after another, and they hurriedly kowtowed: "Ministers' orders." ”

Compared with Changchun Garden, the Forbidden City is much hotter, however, at this time, the East Warm Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace is cool, and a large basin of ice cubes is placed in the four corners of the pavilion.

The list of detained personnel, Wen Pu, the commander of the escort army, has already been reported, and more than 30 people are all the sons of Manchu and Mongolian nobles and Manchu and Mongolian ministers in the court.

Originally, he planned to wait for Zhao Shenqiao to find out what the situation in Shanxi and Shaanxi was before making a move, but now he can't use it, with this handle sent to the door, he can completely nip this Manchu and Han dispute in the bud.

"Your Majesty." Gao Jinxi came in and bowed and said, "Zhang Pengxi, Ma Qi and the other five ministers of the study are here to see you outside. ”

Zhenwu nodded. Sitting back on the kang before he said, "Announce them in." ”

After Zhang Pengxi, Ma Qi and the other five people came in, they knelt down and kowtowed: "The ministers respectfully invite the emperor to be safe." ”

Zhenwu bowed slightly. But he didn't give a seat as usual, and after a little hesitation, he spoke: "No courtesy, they all stand and reply." ”

On weekdays, the old ministers came to see each other, and Zhenwu was given a seat, but today he just let him stand and reply, Zhang Pengxi, Ma Qi and other five people immediately understood, Zhenwu made it clear that he wanted to fight with them today, and they couldn't help but be a little cautious in their hearts. After thanksgiving, they all bowed and stood solemnly.

After glancing at the five people, Zhen Wucai slowly spoke: "The territory of the Qing Dynasty is vast, and the people under its rule are hundreds of millions, belonging to dozens of ethnic groups such as Manchu, Han, Mongolian, and Hui Tibet. Spend a lot of money to immigrate to Australia. If you want to create a powerful empire that has never been seen before, and create a hundred years of prosperity in the Qing Dynasty, it is better for you to divide the Manchu Han Dynasty into vain, do you want me to be torn apart by the Qing Dynasty? ”

Hearing this, Zhang Pengxi, Ma Qi and the other five people dared to stand, and they all knelt down immediately, and they all kowtowed: "The ministers don't dare." ”

"Don't dare?" Zhenwu snorted coldly. He said in a deep voice: "The officials of the Manchu and Han Dynasty in Beijing, the saber is tense, and it is about to explode, you explain to me, what is going on?" ”

Although the hall was cool, listening to Zhenwu's words, Zhang Pengxi, Ma Qi and the other five people were still sweating on their foreheads. Zhenwu is knowingly asking, how can they reply? It was not possible to say yes, and it was even worse to say no, so the five of them had to kowtow again and again, but they did not dare to say anything.

Seeing this situation, Zhenwu was not too concerned, and said: "Ma Qi, after you are a noble, you can tell me, Emperor Taizu Gao raised troops to fight for the world with thirteen pairs of armor, how can he unify the Jurchens in a few years and compete for the world with the former Ming?" ”

Ma Qi was stunned when he heard this, why did he suddenly ask about this? What does this have to do with the Manchu-Han controversy? After a little hesitation, he replied in a deep voice: "Back to the emperor, Emperor Taizu Gao Tianxi is wise and brave, superb, difficult and honest, grace and power, those who obey are subdued by virtue, and those who are against them are brought by soldiers. ”

Seeing that Ma Qi didn't get to the point, Zhenwu couldn't help but glance at him, and then said in a deep voice: "Emperor Taizu Gao has the heart to tolerate the world, and the reason why the Jianzhou Jurchens can rise rapidly is because of the absorption of the Evenks, Oroqen, Xibe, Hezhe, Daur people, etc., and it is because of this that Emperor Taizu Gao can quickly unify the Jurchen tribes."

In the early days, the Eight Banners of Manchuria only included the Jianzhou Jurchens, Haixi Jurchens, East China Sea Jurchens and Heilongjiang Jurchens, and now the Eight Banners include the Manchus, Hans, Mongolians, and Hui ethnic groups, and even Russians. ”

After a slight pause, he said in an accentuated tone: "The reason why the Qing Dynasty can become more and more prosperous is that it is tolerant of the world, the people of the Qing Dynasty, the Han people are nine out of ten, if they cannot tolerate the Han people, the Qing Dynasty will repeat the mistakes of Yuan and Mongolia." How many Han soldiers are there in the imperial court today? You all know in your hearts that you are vainly divided into Manchu Han, where will you go to the court? Is this your heart of public loyalty? Is this your way of being a servant? ”

"Shame on you." Ma Qi and the others hurriedly kowtowed.

"Get up." Zhenwu said lightly, and after the five of them got up, he said slowly: "The dispute between the Manchus and the Han Dynasty has been going on for a long time, and it involves the vital interests of the Manchu and Han officials, and I will not blame you for this, because the root of this matter lies in the system of the imperial court.

In recent years, the world has been peaceful, the four seas have returned to their hearts, and the number of Han officials has been increasing day by day, which is a good thing for the imperial court, after all, Han officials have been selected after ten years of hard study and assessment.

On the other hand, most of the Manchurian and Mongolian officials were born in the style of writing posts, or donated money without studying, and there were many people who did not know how to read, and the officialdom was corrupted.

The year before last, I had already expanded the official school of the Eight Banners on a large scale, and in the future, the selection of Manchurian and Mongolian officials must be selected from the official school and the sect school. ”

Speaking of this, Zhenwu also noticed that it was a little off-topic, and couldn't help but pause slightly, at this moment, Gao Jinxi bowed in and said, "Your Majesty, Yan Shenggong Kong Yuqi is here to see you." ”

Yan Shenggong Kong Yuqi was summoned by Zhenwu's order, and after a little hesitation, he said, "Let him wait." ”

After Gao Jinxi bowed and withdrew, Zhen Wucai glanced at Zhang Pengxi and Wang Luo, and said in a deep voice: "Although the Han officials are all full of reading scriptures and books, and have been selected through layers of assessments, but as soon as they enter the officialdom, they have lost their duties as scholars. ”

Zhenwu scolded the Manchurian and Mongolian officials, and scolded the Han people, this is a typical fifty boards each, but the last sentence of Zhenwu that Zhang Pengxi and Wang Luo listened to was a cold sweat behind their fright, Zhenwu actually threatened them with the cancellation of the imperial examination system? The imperial examination is the most fundamental way for Han people to enter the ranks, and if it is really abolished, won't the world be in chaos?

No, it's impossible for Zhenwu not to see this, it's just a lie and threat, although Zhang Pengxi comforted himself so much, he was always a little uneasy, this master likes to innovate, even if it is not abolished, if there is a imperial examination innovation, the interests of the world's scholars will inevitably be greatly weakened!

Thinking of this, Zhang Pengxi couldn't help but sigh secretly, after thinking about it for a while, he didn't expect that this master would use this to take advantage of the Han people, no matter whether he had this intention or not, he couldn't take this risk, and after a slight groan, he bowed down and said: "What the emperor taught is that the ministers are greedy for small profits and ignore the general righteousness, but they are really a corpse vegetarian meal, and I implore the emperor to punish him severely to set an example." ”

Seeing that Zhang Pengxi's obedience was thorough, Zhenwu nodded slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "If the governance of a large country is small, everything must be done gradually, and if it is too radical, it is easy to be chaotic, and the dispute between the Manchu and Han Dynasty is a major disaster. ”

Flat and full of Han domain! Zhang Pengxi, Wang Liang listened to Zhenwu clearly put forward the Ping Manchu Han domain, can not help but be very happy, the Qing Dynasty into the Central Plains for more than 70 years, Zhenwu is the first clearly proposed to level the Manchu Han Dynasty emperor, with the style of this master, it will not just talk, as soon as this word spreads, all Han officials will be happy.

Ma Qi, Xiao Yongzao, and Song Zhu were terrified when they heard it, the Manchus were not as good as the Han people, if this really leveled the Manchu and Han domains, is this Qing Dynasty still the Manchu Qing Dynasty? Ma Qi couldn't help but glance at Zhenwu worriedly, but he didn't dare to say anything, and at this time he objected, which was obviously uncomfortable.

Seeing that Ma Qi and the three of them were full of worries, Zhenwu smiled slightly: "The Qing Navy and the Praetorian Guard New Army are now becoming stronger and stronger, in addition to opening up overseas territories, the vassal states around the Qing Dynasty must also be included in the territory of the Qing Dynasty one by one, these vassal states are different from overseas, they cannot be mainly plundered, they must follow the example of Emperor Taizu Gao, tolerate the people of the vassal states with the heart of embracing the world, and spend decades to assimilate and integrate them, so that these vassal states can be permanently included in the territory of the Qing Dynasty." ”

The five of them all heard these words, Zhenwu This is to assimilate and integrate all the people under the rule of the Qing Dynasty! The five of them couldn't help but be overjoyed, Ma Qi, Xiao Yongzao, and Song Zhu, the three Manchu ministers, immediately thought that Zhenwu was going to follow Emperor Taizu Gao, and fused the Han Hui people into the Manchus, while Zhang Pengxi and Wang Zhu thought that since it was assimilation and integration, there was only the possibility of all sinicization, because the Manchus were now seriously sinicized.

After glancing at the five people, Zhen Wucai said in a deep voice: "To assimilate and integrate, first of all, we must intermarry, we must advocate intermarriage between the banner people, and intermarriage between Manchu and Han!" As he spoke, he instructed the outside world: "Xuankong Yuqi is here." ”
