Chapter 111: Heavenly Punishment

Chengtianmen fire, in broad daylight, the sky-high fire, people from a few miles away can smell the smoke, inside and outside the city, up and down the government and the opposition, everyone is going crazy, saying that retribution is coming!

Emperor Taizu Gao couldn't stand it in the sky, and sent down heavenly punishment!

At the court meeting, the courtiers made a commotion, and there were many people who opposed the cutting of the domain, and Yu Shi Kangyu came out and said, "Your Majesty, today's million army is destroyed in one fell swoop, and the flesh and blood of the closest relatives, and the sword is facing each other, all because of cruelty and Confucianism, holding one's own prejudice, and abolishing the great duke of the world." The husband is dead and the teeth are cold, everyone is in danger, and it is common for the king of Zhou to flee, the king of Xiang to self-immolate, the acting king was deposed, and Qi Chen sued the king for the opposite, and the scheming person will inevitably say, 'If the soldiers do not raise the army, the disaster will increase', which is a radical change in the court. ”

Kang Yu fell to the ground and kowtowed, "The minister implores to arrest the lawless ministers according to the will of King Yan and quell the disasters in the court today." ”

This is clearly to let Zhu Yunwen use Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai's heads to appease King Yan's anger.

Guo Ren, the head of the household department, stepped forward and glanced at Kang Yu deeply, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Kang Yu is suspected of being a rebel against Yan." The Zhou royal family divided the kings, resulting in the separation of the Spring and Autumn Period, the disaster of the Warring States, and the displacement of the people for hundreds of years. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, divided the sons, so that the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms was a lesson from the past and a teacher of the future. Besides, today, what is the matter of storing wealth and preparing for the army? The minister thought that he would be full of courage, and the soldiers would be fast, and he would quickly send troops to recruit Yan and rebel, instead of being appeased in the face of obstacles, so as to slack off in the future. ”

Zhuo Jing, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, a Jinshi in the eighteenth year of Hongwu, stood up at this time and said, "Your Majesty, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, is a man of great talent, and the minister thinks that if he does not kill Zhu Di, it is also advisable to move to Nanchang to facilitate control." It must not be tolerated,"

Lian Zining, the left attendant of the ministry, was filled with righteous indignation, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the person who is bad for His Majesty is Li Jinglong, Li Jinglong is suspected of collaborating with the enemy, and the minister, as a law enforcement official, if he can't get rid of the traitor for the court, the minister will die innocently." Your Majesty can't punish Li Jinglong, and you can't pardon the crimes of the ministers, please kill the ministers first, to thank the world! ”

After speaking, Lian Zining cried and bowed.

Zhu Yunwen sat on the high dragon chair, in a dilemma, if he only punished Li Jinglong, would Huang Zicheng, who recommended Li Jinglong, be innocent? Huang Zicheng is loyal to him and has been with him for many years, how can he bear it?

And Li Jinglong categorically will not have two hearts, since he can arrest King Zhou into Beijing, he can only stand on his side, and there is no way out.

Lian Zining was still too anxious, Zhu Yunwen felt that he was not an unassertive person, and he still knew who was loyal and who was traitorous. And Lian Zining didn't have two hearts for him, but he was a little embarrassed by such persecution.

"One Sword Alone"

Fang Xiaoru let out a long sigh and stood up, not facing the emperor, but turning to the ministers, "Everyone, since we are officials in the same dynasty, we should solve problems for the emperor wholeheartedly. When the Chengtianmen is on fire, the emperor must report the gains and losses, and the princes should be destroyed, which is a national policy and cannot be questioned. ”

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, leaned forward, and asked, "Fang Aiqing, do you have a good idea?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that in order to express the emperor's sincerity to the sky, it is better to change the body hall to the Zhengxin Palace, change the noon gate to the end gate, the end door to the Ying door, the Chengtian gate to the Gao gate, and the front door to the chariot door."

"I don't know what that means?" Zhu Yunwen was also confused, the Chengtian Gate was on fire, what was the use of changing the names of the city gate and the palace?

"Your Majesty, this is in line with the "Zhou Rites". Fang Xiaoru is serious and authentic.

Since it was in line with Zhou etiquette, the emperor naturally did not have any objections, so he approved the matter.

At that time, Zhu Di's army was moving north, and he got the news that Ping An led 200,000 troops and stationed them at Danjiaqiao in Cangzhou, wanting to cut off the grain boats of the Yan army here, and selected 5,000 soldiers from Shanshui to cross the Hutuo River and prepare to attack Dezhou.

Zhu Di arranged for Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Neng to recruit sergeants in Shandong, and the army marched very slowly, often making pauses on the road.

When he heard the news, Zhu Di was accompanying his youngest son to study, and was stunned for a while, "Change the noon gate to the end gate?" Change the end door to the answer door? Since there is still a door called Duanmen, why change it? ”

The scout who reported the news was uneasy, and he also listened to the informant lurking in Ying Tianfu, where did he understand the thoughts of these literati, and stammered, "The small, the small don't know!" ”

Zhu Gaoxian waved his hand, asked him to leave, and said to his father, "Dad, what's wrong with him, fortunately, there is a poor scholar like Fang Xiaoru by Zhu Yunwen's side, otherwise, where would we have a chance?" When the emperor sits in the world, the first task is to let the people eat well and dress warmly, you look at Zhu Yunwen, since he sat on this dragon chair, every day is to listen to the words of these poor and sour literati, change the ancestral family law, and follow the "Zhou Rite" all day long, how many years have passed since this Zhou Rite, if it is useful, the Zhou family will lose the country and let the Qin State unify the world? ”

Zhu Di felt that what his son said was very reasonable, since his son said Tie Xuan to death in shame, Zhu Di felt that his son was not much worse than Dao Yan.

He was also willing to listen to his son.

And Zhu Gaoxian thought that in history, his father wanted Fang Xiaoru to draft an edict on the throne, but Fang Xiaoru howled and cried, and the sad voice moved the world and the world, and those who heard it wept.

Zhu Di comforted him and said, "Sir, don't be so sad, I'm just imitating Zhou Gongfu Zuo Chengwang." ”

This is just a rhetoric that makes each other get off the stage, who knows, Fang Xiaoru is very stubborn, and asks, "Where is King Cheng?" Zhu Di said that King Cheng died by self-immolation. Fang Xiaoru also said that he should be established as the son of the king.

There is a saying called "The world is full of knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article", this poor Confucian student is really stupid to read, and he doesn't even know about human feelings.

You come and go, talk about it, naturally you can't talk about going together, Zhu Di is on fire, Fang Xiaoru splashed, threw the pen to the ground, was not afraid of death, and was finally torn apart by the car.

Fang Xiaoru sacrificed his life for righteousness, killed himself and became benevolent, but he took pity on his father, obviously did not kill Fang Xiaoru's nine clans, and as a result, he was infamous through the ages.

Zhu Gaoxian confronted Wang Province in Jiyang County, and criticized Tiexuan in Jinan City, all of which wanted to give his father a preventive shot in advance.

"And what do you mean?" Zhu Di asked his son, he didn't think that now, the father and son discussed the national policy, what was wrong.

"The son's meaning is naturally to let the people live a good life." Zhu Gaoxian leaned on his father's body, holding a book in his hand, and gently tapped his fingers on the couch under him, "As for those readers, hmph, they can be used, many people sell their fame and reputation, and they really want to reuse it, if they don't do it, it will be the same as Zhu Yunwen." ”

He sat up, "Dad, the world's learning should not only follow the Confucian sayings, but should be like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when a hundred flowers bloomed, the Legalists, the Mohists, and the Soldiers...... Even yin and yang can be carried forward, these are the tools used by the emperor to benefit the people, and they should not be deposed. ”
