Chapter 597: The Feast
"Great victory, great victory......"
"The model battalion is making rapid progress, smashing the thieves' lair, and the country is ......"
One by one, the good news was sent to the capital almost every three or five days.
It's not just Wenyuan Pavilion, it's the Di Newspaper, and it's also published almost every three or five times.
In fact, the current petition has attracted much attention.
For the imperial court, this seems to be related to the issue of the domains of several emperors and grandchildren.
For the merchants, the rebellion caused by the Japanese kingdom caused heavy losses to many maritime merchants.
When the trade of the Japanese Kingdom skyrocketed, many maritime merchants went to the layout, which can really be described as a spring breeze!
But together with the rebellion, many rebels, not only against the Ashikaga family, but also a lot, because of the development of maritime trade, they were in trouble, so the Japanese rebels even put forward the order to reinstate.
It's just that the rebellion here is aimed at maritime merchants.
Therefore, almost all businessmen paid special attention to the imperial court's attack on the Japanese rebels.
At this time...... The rapid march of the model battalion immediately reassured everyone.
The businessman, who was still worried, is ...... at this moment But suddenly I had a strange feeling.
The Handelsblatt, in particular, is particularly obvious.
In the past, most of the worries of the Commercial Daily about the maritime trade were related to the crackdown on the Haikou bandits, and a lot of the news published was also what natural disasters and shortages of goods had been encountered by overseas feudal towns.
But these days, it has become more and more abnormal.
At least in Zhang Anshi's view, the change in things was both expected and unexpected by him.
The merchants have 'woken up'.
The market can be expanded, for example, this time, because of the new policy of the Japanese state, the market expanded sharply, which caused the trade volume to skyrocket.
And expanding the market is also risky, the new deal now seems to be not a tonic that everyone can eat, Daming can strengthen the body after eating, and for the world, it may also be a drink to quench thirst.
This will inevitably lead to chaos once the New Deal is enacted.
And the chaos is bound to cause a large number of businessmen to suffer losses.
So...... Is there a way in this world to expand the market so that everyone can make a lot of money, but at the same time, without having to bear the risks and consequences?
This time, Daming's rebellious march obviously seemed to have given many people answers suddenly.
If the Ming army could use this to strike at the rebellion, wouldn't it become a book of profits? In this way, not only will the country of the Japanese country be opened, but also peace of mind.
Because of this, the business newspaper paid the most attention to this advance, not only concerned, but also the most powerful, which can be described as jumping up and down, chattering endlessly to praise how reasonable and legal the Ming army was to fight against the rebels, and on the other hand, they accused the Japanese rebels of barbarism.
Obviously, such remarks have a great impact on the military and people in the world.
Many scholars of the Ming Dynasty seem to have reversed all of a sudden.
In the past, Confucianism was the leader and advocated rest with the people, but now it has disappeared.
And the scholars who clamored to rebel in all corners of the world, their articles have almost gradually become the mainstream.
It is not because the great Confucians of the past have no reason for their remarks, but after thousands of years of theoretical perfection, their theoretical system is obviously much more solid than that of the new scholars.
The real reason is that almost all the articles that can be published in the newspapers are now rejected by the great Confucian articles of the past, and those articles that advocate rebellion are extremely favored.
The dissemination power of newspapers is ten times or even a hundred times that of the previous lecture mode, and if you clamor for rebellion, you can get a rich manuscript fee and gain great prestige, but on the other hand, the current Confucianism has begun to be impoverished, and the articles written with great effort and brains are almost rarely disseminated.
And with the emergence of an article, a large number of scholars have begun to desperately find a theoretical basis on this basis.
This is just like the great Confucianism who grew up in the soil of the gentry, although he first shot arrows and then drew targets, because the land required a lot of manpower, and the conscription of a large number of soldiers and conscription would inevitably harm agricultural production, and it was unprofitable to fight everywhere, so the Confucians began to gradually abandon the Han Dynasty's view of great revenge, and chose to endure and not to levy.
And these current scholars are also desperately looking for various remarks of the ancients from various ancient books to enrich their own views.
So much so that many articles even quote a lot of the words of Confucius Sage, Mencius, Xunzi, and Dong Zhongshu.
In the previous interpretations of the great Confucians, what the sages admired was the image of a gentle one.
The new scholars, on the other hand, also followed the example of the previous Confucians, taking them out of context and directly copying the words of these ancient sages, and in an instant, the sages and sages seemed to have changed, but they became the images of 'great revenge', 'great unification', and 'Weijia Siyi'.
Zhang Anshi looked at it and couldn't help but smile a little bitterly, he now gradually realized that the era in which he pushed the world to implement the new policy in the past has gradually passed.
And now, it seems that more and more people are beginning to tie themselves up and even the entire court, and in order to achieve their own demands, they have begun to push the court and themselves forward.
This new class of nouveau riche has begun to have its own consciousness.
And they are becoming more and more adept at co-opting scholars and building new theoretical systems to begin to extract benefits for themselves.
Zhang Anshi is on the cusp of such a storm, because a large number of scholars have begun to cite some of Zhang Anshi's previous measures on a large scale to prove their views.
There are even some words that Zhang Anshi clearly did not say, but after being fabricated and processed again and again, it seems that all of a sudden, it has become a thought-provoking warning.
So much so that in the new Shangbao article, Zhang Anshi directly quoted the words of the barbarians, i.e., beasts, to argue the idea that the Japanese people are inhuman, especially the Japanese who are unwilling to be civilized and hostile to maritime merchants......
This made Zhang Anshi feel that some of his remarks were a bit excessive, and he always felt that the intensity was too much.
But he wanted to jump out to refute the rumors, saying that I, Zhang Anshi, had not said it.
But apparently, this is in vain.
In Wenyuan Pavilion, Hu Guang and the others, looking at Zhang Anshi's eyes, also seemed to have become weird.
They often read newspapers, but they never expected that when they interacted with them, Zhang Anshi, who was quite gentle, would be so extreme that there were some words that made people shudder when they read them.
After all, the scholars who have been influenced by Confucianism, even if they abandon Confucianism, still have a gentle side in their bones, and some excessive remarks always make people shudder.
But Zhang Anshi's eyes were full of grievances, and there were a few grievances that had nowhere to speak.
"Telegram, new telegram."
Wenyuan Pavilion was broken by a new telegram.
Generally, if there is any emergency electricity, there will be a person who will report it quickly, and there is no need to report it.
At this time, almost all the bachelors put aside the matter at hand.
"The rebel general, found the blood of the Ashikaga family, this son is the youngest son of the Ashikaga Yoshikyo, actually escaped the killing of the rebels, and was carefully taken in and hidden by his retainers, the princes ...... Generals Zhu Yong and Zhang Xun implored the imperial court to ...... Canonized him as the king of the Wa. ”
The people were determined.
Zhang Anshi couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Hey, no matter what, it's finally Ashikaga Yoshiko." He has a spirit in heaven, I don't know how happy he should be! ”
Hu Guang and others do not have such abundant emotions as Zhang Anshi.
But they all have stiff faces, of course, they ...... He is disgusted by the radical killing remarks, but when it comes to the aftermath of the Japanese state, he attaches great importance to it.
So Hu Guang hurriedly said: "This son's name and surname, how old is it, who is his mother?" ”
She took the telegram and read it carefully, but said, "It's called Ashikaga Yoshimasa, how old are you...... He was three months old, and his mother was a maid of the shogunate. ”
For a moment, everyone fell directly into a deathly silence.
After a pause, Hu Guang said: "Ashikaga Yoshikyo, when did you die?" ”
"This ......" Zhang Anshi said: "Probably, the rebels entered the shogunate, it should have been four or five months ago......
Hu Guang raised his eyebrows and said, "That's ......."
Zhang Anshi said: "What do you think of this matter? ”
Hu Guang was a little worried: "Will there be some ...... Unconvinced? ”
Xie Jin, who had been watching silently from the sidelines, suddenly smiled at this time and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Song has a saying, people are afraid of power but not virtue, sometimes they don't have to be regarded as people, they can be regarded as beasts, and the method of treating beasts should be used to treat beasts......"
Zhang Anshi's color changed, and he frowned and looked at Xie Jin, "I didn't say ......"
Xie Jin was still smiling, still looking light.
In fact, no one cares whether Zhang Anshi said it or not, anyone who quotes these words is actually to expound their own opinions, as for whether this is a cat or a dog or Zhang Anshi said, does it matter? Who cares? Or rather...... What the hell is that!
Xie Jin said: "These words, of course, are biased, but ...... Now I am a thief with a snap of my fingers, and I am already Weijia Fusang, but right now, the hearts of the Japanese people are not attached, so I have to canonize the king of the Japanese to suppress the Japanese country...... Therefore, who is ordained as a king is a secondary matter. ”
After a pause, Xie Jin continued: "Some military newspapers, the old man has also read them, although the Japanese people still value the bloodline, but they don't value it very much, they have always adopted their adopted son and revitalized the tradition of the lintel. So, this is secondary. ”
"As for the retainers of the Ashikaga Yoshikyo, the reason why they are loyal to the Ashikaga family is that they are afraid that the rebels will completely wipe out the Ashikaga family and bury them with the Ashikaga family, and it doesn't matter who is the king."
Xie Jin thought for a while and continued: "So it doesn't really matter who the king is, if he is too old, at this time, my Ming Dynasty has not gained a firm foothold in Fusang, and several vassal states have not yet gained a firm foothold, once this person has other attempts, it will be unfavorable." ”
"And this young king, for my Ming Dynasty, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. As for whether to serve the people or not, on the one hand, it is necessary to order the army to continue to rebel and continue to hunt down the remnants of the rebels. On the other hand, the former retainers and samurai of the Ashikaga Yoshikyo need to be appeased, as long as these two things are achieved, what does it matter whether they are convinced or not? ”
Yang Rong also seemed to nod by default.
Jin Youzi stroked his long beard, and said with his head bowed: "Xie Gong's words are not unreasonable. ”
Xie Jin glanced at everyone again, and then said, "I'll report to Your Majesty when I'm waiting for this, and I implore Your Majesty to decide." ”
There was no objection from everyone. So when the report went up, Zhu Di soon made a decree and ordered Wenyuan Pavilion to draft a decree.
A few days later, Zhang Anshi was summoned into the palace.
It's just that today, it's not for something to discuss, but a family banquet held by Zhu Di.
Therefore, in addition to Zhang Anshi, there are also the crown prince Zhu Gaochi and the four imperial grandsons.
Just yesterday, Zhu Di canonized the four imperial grandsons, Zhu Zhanjun was canonized as King Zheng, Zhu Zhanyong was canonized as King Yue, Zhu Zhanyin was canonized as King Qi, and Zhu Zhanyun was canonized as King Xiang.
At this time, their father was still the crown prince, and they were canonized as princes at this time, obviously, this is what Zhu Di has decided to delegate power.
It is tantamount to announcing to the world that the current crown prince is not much different from the emperor.
In this regard, Zhu Gaochi hurriedly entered the palace to thank him.
But Zhu Di is calm, today's family banquet is actually reasonable, and the four emperors and grandsons are canonized together, which also means that they will be vassal at any time.
Before the four grandchildren left the capital for Fusang, Zhu Di naturally hoped to hold a family banquet and have a final reunion with the four grandchildren.
At the beginning of the family banquet, Zhu Di sat upright and set the tone first: "Today is a family banquet, you don't have to be stubborn, you should eat and drink!" ”
Then his eyes fell on Zhang Anshi's head and said, "Zhang Qing's family...... You have made great contributions to this campaign against the thieves, and my four grandchildren will soon be killed, but they are still too young, and I think about it...... You, as an uncle, are only afraid that you will have to worry about one or two. ”
Zhang Anshi showed a look of embarrassment, and said busily: "Minister...... In the capital, I am only afraid of ......... The whip is out of reach. ”
Zhu Di smiled and said, "Really? ”
He paused, and then said, "I have given an order to the Ministry of Rites to teach them to prepare. ”
These words are a bit inexplicable, which makes people feel a little confused.
And Zhang Anshi didn't ask, but after many years of getting along with the monarch and ministers, he vaguely felt that Zhu Di should have other arrangements.
Zhu Di showed a bold side at this time and said, "Okay, okay, don't be verbose, drink everything." ”
After a few glasses of water and wine, Zhu Di's face was red, but when he saw his four grandchildren, he was very restrained, so he said to Zhu Zhanjun: "Zhanjun, you are the longest among all the brothers, I came to ask you, if you are a domain, how will you govern the town?" ”
Zhu Zhanjun hurriedly put down his wine glass and said seriously: "Sun Chen is a vassal, so he must follow the example of the emperor and treat the army and the people well......"
Zhu Di didn't seem to be very satisfied, and glared: "Be kind to a bird, there are many people who scold me in the world." ”
Zhu Zhanjun suddenly showed a look of panic, and he didn't know how to respond for a while.
Zhu Di saw him like this, although he was a little unhappy, but after all, this grandson was about to leave, but he was not angry, but said earnestly: "When you arrive in the town, you are not only the head of a country, but also the head of a family, and govern one side, don't be afraid of people's words, you must have your own ideas in your heart, and don't follow this today, tomorrow or that, did you follow your example?" ”
"Some time ago, Zhang Qing was still saying that we should adapt measures to the times, local conditions, and people, what a great truth is this, but you have not carefully recalled these words, but in front of me, you said these high-sounding words?"
Zhu Zhanjun hurriedly asked for guilt.
Zhu Di waved his hand and said: "Okay, sit down and listen, you should indeed set an example, after all, you are the oldest, when you arrive in Fusang, you four brothers, as flesh and blood, will support each other!" That's why you, the elder brother, need to have more ideas of your own to support your three brothers. ”
Zhu Zhanjun hurriedly said obediently: "Sun Chen has written it down." ”
Zhu Di pursed his lips and said: "This canonization, I have given you the most money, food and guards, and its purpose is also this, I expect you to protect your brothers, they are still too young after all." ”
Zhu Di said and sighed, among the four grandchildren, Zhu Zhanjun is considered to be a complete adult, and the other three, although they can barely be called adults, but in Zhu Di's opinion, he is indeed too young, and he has to worry a little.
It's just that Fadu is here, and as a royal person, he enjoys this honor, and there are some difficult roads to walk, but he has to go. Moreover, this is also for the sake of Daming's foundation, for Zhu Di, although he feels a little distressed, he understands better than anyone that this is something that has to be done.
Zhu Di closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then slowly opened his eyes and said: "As far as the domain is concerned, your domain has the most land, and I have also checked it, and the population of the Japanese people you lead over there is not a small number, you have to make an example, so that you can set an example for your brothers." ”
Zhu Zhanjun has obediently suspended training and repeatedly said yes.
After Zhu Di said this, he then looked at the third child, Zhu Zhan Yong, and said: "Zhan Yong, you kid, don't continue to be naughty, when you get to Fusang, you must keep to yourself, don't think that there are some things, I don't know." ”
When Zhu Zhanyong heard this, his face changed, and he suddenly felt like a mang on his back, his neck was cold, and he was so frightened that he glanced at his uncle Zhang Anshi in a panic, and then hurriedly said: "Sun Chen follows the rules on weekdays, and is taught by his uncle'......s words and deeds."
"Ahem......" Zhang Anshi coughed desperately, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face.
Zhu Di glanced at Zhang Anshi, twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "What, do you have lung disease?" Coughing like this? ”
Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "Children are not sensible and like to talk nonsense. Your Majesty, the ministers are busy with official business on weekdays, and they are really damned for neglecting to discipline the emperors and grandchildren. ”
Saying that, Zhang Anshi showed a little sad look again: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I was so attentive to raising me, I am really not human, but now I can't follow the prince's example and lead by example in front of my nephews......"
Zhu Di waved his hand impatiently and said, "If you have this heart, it can't be better." I have called you here today for the sake of a neat meal for the whole family. Secondly, I will also entrust these grandchildren to you Zhang Anshi. ”
After a pause, he sighed and said, "Where in the world is there a master who doesn't love his grandson?" How can they be so young and weak that they have no one to teach? Zhang Qingjia, do you say it's ......?"
