Chapter 103: Convincing People with Virtue (Part 2)

Beijing, Forbidden City.

In the imperial study, the dragon is carved and the phoenix is painted, and the screen made of rosewood reflects a faint layer of pulp luster under the light.

On the desk, the incense burner curls up, exuding a refreshing aroma.

Chongzhen corrected the recital overnight, and at this time, it was already late at night.

Outside the study, Wang Chengen reminded Chongzhen several times to take time and pay attention to rest, but Chongzhen refused, but he was not young, and he couldn't stay up and fell asleep.

Chongzhen has this energy, naturally thanks to the fact that he is now a congenital master, full of physical strength, not to mention staying up late, even if he doesn't sleep for a few days and nights, it doesn't matter.

In this way, we can undertake such complicated state affairs.

Otherwise, if you were someone else, your body would have collapsed long ago.

Why, the emperors in history, especially those who were diligent gentlemen, did not live long! Most of them were still overworked, and the affairs of the whole country had to be dealt with, and they had to fight with those civil servants during the day.

However, the current Chongzhen can be described as a spring breeze, and he can do whatever he wants.

The Manchu Dynasty civil and military, the blood washed clean, although it is said that there are fewer people to do things now, and there are more things that need to be dealt with by him personally, but no matter what you do, you will no longer be opposed by people as before.

Now, the court hall is the hall of words, and the others just need to follow along. Who dares to die? If you dare to admonish, Chongzhen will really dare to let you die!

The heads of the first-class and second-grade members on the city tower are not yet full!

Suddenly, Chongzhen took out a book from a pile of folds, and his eyes suddenly lit up. I couldn't help but laugh.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty......"

Wang Chengen was startled suddenly, hurriedly came in, and when he saw Chongzhen laughing, he couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, what good things have happened?"

"Come on, come on...... Come and see, this Li Yan, I really didn't misunderstand him, I was still a little worried about him in this incident in Jiangnan, so I deliberately sent him to the Shenji Battalion, just in case, in the last resort, to suppress and purge those stubborn squires. Unexpectedly, Li Yan played a trick, wanting to capture the old man, and finally came to the bottom of the kettle to draw salary, and gave me a beautiful affair. ”

This letter was naturally sent by Li Yan from Jiangnan, which recorded in detail what happened to Li Yan after he arrived in Jiangnan, from his deliberate release of water to dispel the vigilance of Jiangnan officials, to the final withdrawal of salaries from the bottom of the kettle, and the whole process of vomiting blood in a kind of Jiangnan officials' anger was recorded word for word. ”

Li Yan's writing is really good, Chongzhen can almost imagine the picture of Ye Chengwen, an old thing, vomiting blood three liters.

"Great joy, really great joy!" Wang Chengen finished reading the recital and said with a smile: "This Li Yan's talent is no less than Zhang Zifang, and only Your Majesty, Shengwei descended from heaven, can he subdue him and transform him from a thief into a loyal and patriotic pillar!"

"Okay, you old bones, don't pat yourself!" Chongzhen waved his hand, but still smiled happily.

Who doesn't like to hear good things?

After this trouble, both the monarch and the minister came to their senses, chatting and reviewing the twists and turns together.

Although it is said that eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics. However, most of the time, the eunuchs around the emperor are doing the review of some basic folds, criticism of red, etc., otherwise, every sentence and every word will be read by the emperor and the emperor will be replied, and the emperor will not be able to bear it even if he eats the Ten Great Tonic Pills.

"Cheng'en, how is the matter of the Martyrs' Shrine being organized?"

Chongzhen casually folded a letter and asked casually. This matter is related to the hearts of the military in the world, and now, the whole world knows that Chongzhen is going to build a martyr's shrine, and all the soldiers are watching it with their eyes. Sooner rather than later.

"The construction of the Martyrs' Shrine is in accordance with your instructions, and the best craftsmen are found, the wages are sufficient, and the work is done quickly, and it is almost completed, and it should be in the next few days. Wang Chengen naturally knows what Chongzhen cares about, and he has been personally watching the progress of the construction of the Martyrs' Shrine.

"That's good!" Chongzhen was about to say something, but his eyes suddenly froze.

"Your Majesty! This is the fold handed over by Shandong Yan Shenggong, and it says something unpleasant...... "Wang Chengen was about to stuff the fold underneath, but he never thought about it, and he couldn't hide it from Chongzhen's eyes.

Chongzhen doesn't blame him, this kind of thing is not surprising. In the past, there were also some twists and turns, the contents of which were problematic and not suitable for the emperor to see, and the eunuchs who criticized the red would secretly hide them or destroy them.

"Yan Shenggong, I want to see what this saint said after that!"

Chongzhen sneered: "For most of my life, I have been scolded by ministers, scolded by the people, and even issued an edict for sin, what else can't I hear?"

Wang Chengen paused slightly, hesitated, but still pulled out the half-stuffed fold in his hand and handed it to Chongzhen.

"If you kill too much and act violently, you should follow the law of the saints, be kind to the world, and subdue people with virtue...... God bless the Ming ......"

A few dazzling words came into view, and Chongzhen suddenly snorted coldly.

This post is nothing more than saying that in the Ming Dynasty, natural disasters have continued, and it is the king who has acted too violently, causing discord between heaven and man...... However, this Yan Shenggong is not stupid, and he knows that Chongzhen is now in full swing, so he also wrote some compliments later.

said that since the emperor has been blessed by heaven, it is a blessing for all people...... However, the ministers of the DPRK and China have died too much, which is not good for the country, and it is recommended that Chongzhen open a branch to take a scholar.

However, in the end, these literati's old mistakes were committed again, and they preached: it was not a good thing to say that Chongzhen defeated the Tartars and killed too much, so it was better to educate the Tartars and convince people with virtue to show the true character of a great country.

Convince people with virtue, a good one to convince people with virtue!

When the Tartars were plundering in the pass, why didn't he Yan Shenggong go to the front line and use his mouth with a lotus tongue to convince people with virtue?

When Li Zicheng arrived in Beijing, why didn't he see his Confucian family come to educate the refugees?

Chongzhen snorted coldly and slammed the song to the ground.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry with the villain!" Wang Chengen hurriedly persuaded.

"You think I'm angry with him and scolding me?"

Chongzhen sneered: "You treat him as a holy prince and a minister? It didn't appear for a long time, but now, the world is going to be peaceful, so I thought of coming out to open a science and get a reputation for it. Moreover, he said that the Manchu Dynasty officials were seriously deficient, and it was nothing more than Mao Sui's self-recommendation, and he wanted me to make the children of the Confucian family officials!"

"The Holy Duke of Kong Yan is a descendant of a saint, the Kong family is talented, and it is normal to take some officials!" This is Wang Chengen, who has followed Chongzhen for many years before he dares to say such things, who dares to change to someone else?

"The descendants of saints are not necessarily saints. Otherwise, if it is a saint from generation to generation, how can there be only one Confucian saint in the world? ”

Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "You don't know, I am very clear, he is a Confucian family, and he is the Holy Father, I don't know how many people take refuge." In terms of financial resources, I'm afraid that my uncle King Lu is far inferior to him. I'm afraid half of the land in Shandong belongs to his Confucian family. But in this world, when there are homeless people everywhere, I have never seen them give away a little food. The words of their saints are only strict with others and lenient with themselves?"

And also!

Chongzhen sneered: "In this twist, he even suggested that I not kill Dolgon and Fan Wencheng...... Convincing people with virtue shows the true character of the Heavenly Empire, and the Heavenly Empire is a deterrent that is made by fighting, not by blowing it out of mouth.

"Go, Xuan Luo is coming!" Chongzhen's eyes flashed with a dangerous cold light.

"I'll see if his virtue can convince people!"
