Chapter Twenty-Three: The Father
With the narration of Zhou Yushan and others on the street, the truth was gradually known to everyone in the capital.
The anger that has been stirred up is beginning to subside, those involved are regretting, those who once believed in it are laughing at their own innocence, and those who are not concerned with themselves are still not in their business......
Outside the capital, Xu Huizu and Xu Zengshou rode horses and returned to the garrison with the camp in Beijing, and before leaving, they looked back at the place where they grew up, sighed, and the air was mixed with blood.
The prince is virtuous and has never been harsh on his brothers; His Majesty has never revealed the intention of abolishing the crown prince, but even so, there are still people who have to take risks to gamble.
The result was a complete failure.
"Heaven is ruthless!" Xu Zengshou exhaled softly, and then looked at the north with some concern.
Xu Huizu, who had been walking in front, heard Xu Zengshou's exclamation, and immediately reprimanded angrily: "Fourth brother be cautious! ”
Xu Zengshou immediately came to his senses and hurriedly arched his hand at Xu Huizu and apologized: "Big brother, I was wrong!" ”
Xu Huizu looked around and asked in a low voice, "Is that person gone?" ”
"Hmm!" Xu Zengshou nodded.
"Don't contact you again in the future!" Xu Huizu admonished, "Our Xu family doesn't need gamblers......
"Yes!" Xu Zengshou lowered his head and pulled the reins, he didn't know that their Xu family didn't need gamblers, but the eldest sister was in the north, and he couldn't be ruthless.
"By the way, big brother, do you think that His Majesty's means of solving this matter this time are a little too procrastinating......"
Xu Zengshou reviewed the whole thing in his heart and found that the way he handled it this time was not Zhu Yuanzhang's style at all.
With Zhu Yuanzhang's personality, in the face of such a situation, he must immediately send Jinyi Wei and the Criminal Department to arrest everyone and put them in prison, and then execute all the personnel, including Zhu Yang, on the charge of confusing the public with a fallacy and plotting against them, or simply branding them as accomplices in the "Hu Weiyong case".
Simple, crude and effective, the people will be silenced by the rivers of blood, and the officials will not be dissatisfied, and no one will take this matter out again.
But this time Zhu Yuanzhang didn't do it, and even Zhu Yang, the cause of this incident, was still alive.
Xu Huizu said: "The matter involves the prince, Your Majesty may have relented and wants to give him a chance to correct ......"
"Really?" Xu Zengshou glanced at his eldest brother with some doubts, he always felt that this matter was not simple.
"Let's go!" Xu Huizu did not answer, but rode to the barracks on his own horse.
……
"What? Zhu Rong, the king of Qin, and Li Jinglong, the prince of Cao Guo, want to see me? Zhu Yang, who had just returned to the small courtyard from house arrest with many students, pointed to himself and said, "What are they doing when they see me?" I'm a scholar, what's there to see? ”
After the truth was revealed, all the prisoners were disposed of, except for Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, and Li Jinglong, the prince of Cao, who were dealt with.
The people secretly talked about it, and the officials also played a lot, but they all fell into the sea.
Although Zhu Yang understands Zhu Yuanzhang, after all, these two are their closest relatives, one is his son, the other is his nephew's son, and Zhu Yuanzhang is a person who pays attention to family affection.
But understanding is understanding, but hatred cannot be forgotten, after all, these two people want his life.
Now Huang Da (Zhu Biao) actually told him that Zhu Fan and Li Jinglong wanted to see him, and Zhu Yuanzhang agreed, which made Zhu Yang very unhappy.
"Go, just to see each other, and I didn't ask you to intercede for them!" Zhu Biao knew that Zhu Yang had grievances, after all, the primary victim of this matter was Zhu Yang, and it was a loss that Zhu Yang's true identity had been found out in advance, otherwise as soon as this incident broke out, Zhu Yang would be the first to be killed.
"Just go and listen to what Zhu Fan and they say? This time the matter is so big, even if His Majesty has the heart to let it go, the prince will not let this matter be exposed easily! Zhu Biao persuaded on the side, "You must know that this time the matter is specifically aimed at the prince, and the prince will definitely look at ......."
Zhu Yang directly interrupted Zhu Biao's words, "Prince? Don't mention the prince, I get angry when I think of him, he's a coward, is he doing this? I think he was just stupid by those sour Confucians, what does a future emperor do as a humble gentleman? The brothers all stabbed him with knives, and he was still hiding in the East Palace, without making a sound! ”
Zhu Biao: "......" I spoke up, and I don't coax!
"Isn't it good to be a humble gentleman?" Zhu Biao asked weakly on the side.
"What a fart! Where is there a gentleman in this world? In the case of Confucius, is he a gentleman? Doesn't he have any shortcomings? And has he ever been an emperor? Teme meow took the quotations of a person who had never been an emperor to educate the future monarch, what a laugh! Zhu Yang said, "You flip through the history books, those emperors who were praised by Confucianism, such as Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty and Song Renzong, these people were praised by Confucianism, but what did they do?" The Huns never fought, and sent the princess every year; The Liao State has not been fought, the reform has not been changed, and it has made the Western Xia stronger......"
"On the contrary, those emperors who were called tyrants by Confucianism, who were so happy and despised by Confucianism, such as Qin Shi Huang, such as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and then such as Tang Taizong, who killed his brother, Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries and laid the foundation of my China, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty attacked the Xiongnu in the north, so that the world knew the prestige of my Han nationality; Tang Taizong beat the alien race to kneel on the ground and called Tian Khan......" Zhu Yang said, "These emperors are the emperors who are praised by the world, you look at the crown prince of my dynasty, the civil officials call him benevolent and generous, and he is friendly to his younger brother...... Do you know what that means? ”
"What do you mean?" Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yang and asked, these two sentences are indeed the words that the ministers of the DPRK and China often praise him.
"It means that if I make a mistake as a civil official, the prince will turn a blind eye, and the big crime will become a small crime, and the punishment for a small crime will be punished, or it will be simply forgotten; The younger brothers made mistakes, and no matter how angry the prince was, he had to endure it, otherwise he would be unfriendly...... Zhu Yang said.
"This ......" Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yang dumbfounded, "How are these two sentences explained?" This is a fallacy! ”
"Crooked? Hmph, you've underestimated the discipline of those civil officials! Zhu Yang said disdainfully, "Take this matter as an example, if I don't use the plot to publish all the truth to the public, but let His Majesty kill and bury all the truth in the dust, then when the prince succeeds to the throne, if the prince obediently stands up to the civil officials, don't tidy up the moth, hello, hello, hello, everyone, then the future history books will be written, the prince did not ascend the throne before going deep into the people to understand the people's style, during which he was favored by the people, and there was even a woman who promised a lifetime ......"
"If the prince doesn't listen to those civil officials, and even touches the interests of those civil officials with reforms, then the future history books will write that the prince was lustful before he ascended the throne, indulged in disguise games, and even did not hesitate to rob the people's daughters, as a result, one day the meeting was scandalized by his brother King Qin, and his reputation was notorious, and his father did not hesitate to slaughter innocent ......people in order to protect the prince's prestige."
"Nonsense, you nonsense!" Zhu Biao felt that his worldview had collapsed a little, since he was born, he was taught by a group of famous Confucians, and later Zhu Yuanzhang in order to prevent him from growing crooked and constantly selected honest celebrities from the court to serve as officials of the East Palace, and the contacts were orthodox Confucianism, so all along, Confucianism has a lofty position in Zhu Biao's heart, and later supervised the country, because of Zhu Yuanzhang's pressure, those civil officials did not dare to play any tricks on Zhu Biao.
Therefore, in Zhu Biao's heart, no civil official has any bad intentions, at most he is greedy for money and lust, and greed for money and lust is human nature, which is understandable!
"Am I talking nonsense? Heh......" Zhu Yang pursed his lips, he really wanted to give Zhu Yuanzhang an example.
If you don't talk about anything else, let's talk about Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance, not all of them were good deeds done by civil officials in the Qing Dynasty.
Some say it's because the people in power ordered the civil officials to do it.
But Confucius and his old man warned these Confucian disciples thousands of years ago: Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, and knowing is also knowing.
A group of people who have never seen Zhu Yuanzhang forcibly made Zhu Yuanzhang into a donkey face, and later generations made up TV series deliberately like that, and they also called it beautifully: respect historical facts.
"If you don't believe it, you can ask your father, he has lived so old and been an official in the court for many years, and the face of the civil official must be the clearest!" Zhu Yang waved his hand and said, "I won't see those two guys, I didn't add material to this matter this time, I am already worthy of them, if I am not afraid of Your Majesty, I will definitely make them infamous and leave a stench for ten thousand years!" ”
"In addition, Huang Da, you go back and tell the prince, while there is still time, either live well, or work hard to cultivate the next generation, since the Han Dynasty, all dynasties have not lived for three hundred years, if the Ming Dynasty dies one day, don't die in the hands of a foreign race...... Otherwise, our Huaxia will suffer...... Even the history of the Ming Dynasty will ...... After all, not every civil servant has a ...... Cough...... Temperamental. ”
Zhu Yang didn't make it clear, but Zhu Biao already understood that what good could a civil official under the rule of a foreign race write the history of the Han people?
