Chapter 462: I'm Actually Rebelling Against Myself?

Zhu Yunxi looked at Lao Zhu's fierce expression, not only did he not feel the slightest fear, but felt extremely relieved. Diaphragm

"Grandpa Huang, my grandson didn't say to back down!"

"My grandson just thinks I'm causing you trouble and making you laugh at your grandson......"

Lao Zhu heard Zhu Yunxi say this, and the expression on his face softened a lot.

To be honest, he really doesn't care how many traitors there are in the world, and how many traitors there are in the court.

He was afraid that the eldest grandson would develop a character of retreating in case of trouble!

Once you do many things, there is no regret medicine, and the more you hesitate, the more you will suffer from it.

Therefore, Lao Zhu has always done things after he did it. Diaphragm

As for the consequences......

In Lao Zhu's opinion, there is nothing in the world that he can't bear!

"You just didn't flinch!"

"By the way, what were you writing about just now, I heard that it was a fold, are you going to show it to us?"

Hearing this, Zhu Yunxi picked up the document that had just been written on the table, handed it to Lao Zhu and said.

"Not count."

"It's my grandson's analysis of the current situation and how to deal with it in the future." Diaphragm

"I was going to write it out first, and then I'll talk to you about it."

"Oh......"

Lao Zhu took the document and flipped through it, and saw that there were many mistakes in the new tax law.

For example, if you are in a hurry, you don't have to think about it slowly.

Another example is that it only measured the total number of prefectures and counties, but did not send people down to measure the actual fields of the people's homes, gave the local officials the opportunity to shrink the rope to measure the land, and the upper and lower hands to exploit the people, and so on.

Overall, the analysis is quite comprehensive and in place.

But these problems cannot be blamed on him, and many of them are the problems of local officials. Diaphragm

Not to mention that Zhu Yunxi's imperial grandson of his age can't solve it, even he, an old emperor who has been in office for more than 20 years, doesn't dare to say that he can solve it.

Therefore, Lao Zhu just took a look at it casually.

However, when he saw the solution, Lao Zhu's pair of dragon eyes suddenly widened.

"Zhu Yunxi, what do you mean by this?"

"Fight local tyrants and divide the land?"

Zhu Yunxi came over stupidly when he heard this.

"That's right!" Diaphragm

"Isn't the reason why the people feel miserable now is because a large amount of land is held by the gentry, and the common people have no land in their hands, so they can only go to them to rent seeds and accept their exploitation?"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he angrily picked up the document and slapped Zhu Yunxi's head.

"You pig's head!"

"Our Zhu family is the biggest local tyrant!"

"You shouted the slogan of fighting local tyrants and dividing the land, don't you hope that the people of the world will rebel against our family!"

When Zhu Yunxi heard Lao Zhu's logic, there was only one thought in his mind - rub, I was actually rebelling against myself!

Zhu Yunxi wanted to understand this, and hurriedly patted his head with regret. Diaphragm

"I'm sorry Grandpa Huang, my grandson was dizzy when he was writing the paperwork just now, so I'll delete this paragraph!"

Old Zhu snorted angrily and threw the document on Zhu Yunxi's table, and when he saw that Zhu Yunxi really changed it, he snatched it over again, handed the document to the candle and lit it.

"No need to change it!"

"You shouldn't have had this idea in mind, and you even wrote it out!"

"It's still burned clean!"

"Once this sentence spreads, it will not be the matter of the hundreds of thousands of people inside and outside the city, it will be the people of the whole world who oppose our old Zhu family!"

After Lao Zhu burned the paperwork, he was not in a hurry to urge Zhu Yunxi to eat, but pulled him to take a good lesson at the dinner table. Diaphragm

"Eldest grandson, do you know the legitimacy of imperial power?"

Zhu Yunxi nodded when he heard this.

"Yes!"

"This gentleman told me that the emperor's grandfather repaired the history of the Yuan Dynasty in order to inherit the orthodoxy of the imperial power, and to prove that our Ming Dynasty is a dynasty that conforms to the will of heaven and the will of the people!"

Lao Zhu nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and then shook his head again.

"You're right, you're not right."

"In fact, those are all false, and they are made for the world to see. The purpose is to reassure them that our old Zhu family will not mess around, and our old Zhu family will admit the accounts of the previous dynasty! "Ahh

"Huh?"

This time it was Zhu Yunxi's turn to be stunned, and he looked at Lao Zhu with a puzzled face.

Lao Zhu looked at the stupid eldest grandson with a smile and rubbed his head dotingly.

"Silly boy, think about it, what does the change of dynasty have to do with the people?"

"He Kublai Khan sits on the rivers and mountains, and we Zhu Chongba sit on the rivers and mountains, what do you have to do with the people?"

"Is the imperial court called Da Yuan, or Da Ming, and what does it have to do with the people?"

"The people only care about one thing, that is, the acres of land that his family bought in the Yuan Dynasty are still not his, the houses built by his family in the Yuan Dynasty are still not his, others owe his family debts in the Yuan Dynasty, the new court still can't help them, others killed people in the Yuan Dynasty, and the new court still doesn't uphold justice!" Diaphragm

"This is the will of heaven and the people!"

Zhu Yunxi listened to Lao Zhu's words, and suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.

No wonder he always had doubts when he listened to Mr.'s lectures before, obviously Lao Zhu was a staunch anti-Yuan faction, why did he use a large number of systems and laws of the previous dynasty after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, it turned out that the roots were here!

"Therefore, after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, we will try to follow the system of the previous dynasty."

"The first thing is to reassure the people, and the second is to facilitate the people."

"Let's recognize the land sale of the previous dynasty!"

"We also admit the debt dispute of the previous dynasty!" Diaphragm

"Let's kill those who commit adulterers!"

"Because we have done these things, we have the future enthronement and become the emperor."

"Otherwise, even if we sit on the dragon chair, we will have to be pulled down by the world!"

After hearing these words, Zhu Yunxi stood up respectfully and saluted.

"Thank you for the teachings of the emperor's grandfather, my grandson understands!"

Lao Zhu smiled and got up and pulled up his eldest grandson.

"It's best if you can understand, even if you don't understand, you will slowly understand it in the future." Diaphragm

"In fact, the common people don't ask for much, as long as we are emperors, let them be fed, clothed, and live and work in peace and contentment, no matter who is a rebel minister and thief, they don't want to move the throne of our old Zhu family!"

Qin Deshun took advantage of the teaching time of the grandfather and grandson, and hurriedly took advantage of the weakness to order the little eunuchs to arrange the meal.

Therefore, when the two of them sat down again, the table was already full of various dishes.

Lao Zhu looked at his eldest grandson dotingly.

"Let's eat!"

"Go to bed early after eating, and get up tomorrow to welcome the new science and technology competition!"

"Hmm!" Diaphragm

While the grandfather and grandson were enjoying a candlelit dinner, the seemingly calm Beijing was undercurrent.

Many of the ministers' residences were crowded in and out, and the streets were crowded with people, and from time to time a galloping carriage drove by.

Every carriage was tightly covered, as if it were afraid of being seen by outsiders.

Then he hurried to one place, and hurried to the next.

Many people spent the night in a busy way, but definitely not the pair of grandchildren in the palace.

In the early morning of the next day, Lao Zhu got up from the bed refreshed, and when he saw Zhu Yunxi, who had been waiting outside, he only felt extremely happy.

Looking at the child's bright little eyes, I knew that he slept soundly last night. Diaphragm

Lao Zhu came to the eldest grandson and patted the eldest grandson on the shoulder encouragingly.

"Not bad!"

"He's a man who can do great things!"

"Come with us for breakfast!"

"Okay!"

Zhu Yunxi hurriedly picked up Lao Zhu and helped him to go to the side hall for dinner.

If it were in normal times, Lao Zhu might throw off his eldest grandson, emphasizing that he should be old and strong, and he didn't need to be helped by others at all. Diaphragm

But today, Lao Zhu didn't, but was very happy to accept the eldest grandson's courtesy.

When the two were eating, Erhu walked in to report.

"Emperor, everything has been arranged!"

Lao Zhu didn't say a word when he heard this, but just nodded vigorously, indicating that he knew.

Seeing this, Erhu bowed and retreated, and then Qin Deshun came over to report.

"Emperor, Yan Shenggong asks to see!"

This time, Lao Zhu's face was a little moved, but his face only twitched. Diaphragm

"Alas!"

"Let him wait outside the temple!"

"No!"

Lao Zhu suddenly lost the mind to eat after knowing that Kong Ne asked to see him, although he knew that there was a matter of the Kong family here early on, but he never wanted to break the matter, and wanted the Kong family to stop in moderation.

After all, all the scholars in this world take Confucius as their teacher.

Once the Confucian family is involved, the world may not be in chaos, but the minds of scholars will be chaotic.

The scholar's mind is confused, who will come to work for him as an official? Diaphragm

Lao Zhu absentmindedly finished breakfast, rinsed his mouth, and led his eldest grandson to the next door to meet Kong Ne.

As soon as Kong Ne saw Zhu Yunxi, he immediately shook his head at Lao Zhu.

"Your Majesty, the old minister said an offensive word, you shouldn't have brought the imperial grandson here today!"

Lao Zhu also replied when he heard this.

"You shouldn't have come today!"

Hearing this, Kong Ne smiled bitterly.

"Now there will be something big happening in the imperial court, and the old minister can only take it seriously!" Diaphragm

"Your Majesty, the old minister has the courage to advise, if you change the new law now and restore the old system, nothing will happen today, the imperial examination will be carried out normally, and the people will praise Your Majesty Shengming."

"If Your Majesty insists on going your own way, then there will definitely be a lot of blood shed today, and Your Majesty's reputation will also be affected!"

When Lao Zhu heard this threat, he just sneered at Kong Ne.

"You're threatening us?"

Kong Ne shook his head and said.

"How dare the old minister?"

"The old minister is just admonishing, I hope that Your Majesty will put the world first and the overall situation first!" Diaphragm

"You're enough!"

Lao Zhu's face suddenly turned cold, and he glared at Kong Ne angrily.

"Conne!"

"If you put the world first and the overall situation first in your heart, you shouldn't be here today, but you should admonish the candidates who came to make trouble in front of Hongwumen!"

"They are all disciples of your saints, how can you bear to use them!"

When Kong Ne heard this, a trace of shame flashed on his face, but this shame quickly disappeared and was replaced by incomparable perseverance.

"Your Majesty, you hope that the royal family will always prosper, and the old minister also hopes that the family will prosper forever." Diaphragm

"Once the imperial court implements the new tax law, I will have no place for the family!"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he looked back at the stupid eldest grandson.

"Did you hear that?"

"Those who keep saying that they are for the country and the people, how selfish they are in their bones!"

Lao Zhu's "selfishness" deeply stung Kong Ne, making Kong Ne's face a little hideous.

"Your Majesty dares to say that he is selfless?"

"Your Majesty divides the princes and builds vassals everywhere, have you ever thought about how many disasters this move will cause to the Ming Dynasty and how much trouble it will cause to the people!" Diaphragm

Lao Zhu nodded unashamedly and admitted.

"Of course we have selfish intentions!"

"We hope that the Zhu family will always be the emperor, and the descendants of the Zhu family will always have no worries about food and clothing."

Seeing that Lao Zhu was such a scoundrel, Kong Ne really didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only play the emotional card.

"Your Majesty, since you admit that you have selfish intentions, then the old minister naturally has selfish intentions too."

"Lao Chen also hopes that future generations will always have no worries about food and clothing, and the family can be passed on forever!"

Lao Zhu snorted coldly when he heard this. Diaphragm

"We didn't say that we wouldn't let you be selfish, nor did we say that you would cut off your children and grandchildren!"

"We just think that your Kong family has taken up too much, and it has affected the tax revenue of the imperial court!"

"The land in Qufu County is not enough to support your Kong family, and your Kong family has even purchased a large amount of land in the surrounding prefectures and counties."

"If you are given another hundred years of time for the Kong family, won't Shandong have the surname Kong!"

"We only have a few provinces in Daming, so this is occupied by your Kong family?"

Seeing Lao Zhu say this, Kong Ne immediately retorted.

"Your Majesty, you can't just see how much the Kong family occupies, but also how much the Kong family has done for Daming!" Diaphragm

"Our Confucian family has been inherited for more than 1,000 years, preserving the classics of the sages and inheriting Confucian knowledge, which is a great contribution to the world!"

"Why can't Your Majesty tolerate our Kong family, and can't tolerate other families in the Ming Dynasty?"

"It is important to know that the family is not only a family, but also the inheritance and accumulation of culture!"

Lao Zhu was a little short of words when he heard Kong Ne move out this set of words, but just when he didn't know what to say, a disdainful voice came from behind him.

"Of course, the family is not only a family, but the family can also become a gate valve, a dross that monopolizes cultural inheritance, and an obstacle to the imperial power!"

Lao Zhu looked at the eldest grandson in surprise when he heard this, and saw that the eldest grandson didn't look at himself at all, but just stared at Kong Ne with that angry little eye.

Seeing this, Lao Zhu hurriedly flashed to the side and quietly watched the eldest grandson's performance. Diaphragm

"Yan Shenggong!"

"Before today, Gu has always respected you very much, and he also has a lot of trust in your grandson Kong Yanjin, relying on you like a sibling."

"However, what you said today is really ridiculous!"

Kong Ne frowned when he heard the word "gate valve", and now he couldn't help it when he heard the word "big fallacy".

"Dare to ask the emperor's grandson, why is the old minister so wrong?"

Zhu Yunxi cleared his throat and stepped forward.

"You just said that my imperial grandfather has selfish intentions, divides the princes, and builds vassals everywhere." Diaphragm

"Then let me ask you, where is the domain of my Ming Dynasty?"

When Kong Ne heard this, he immediately said like a treasure.

"The capital of the Qin kings is Xi'an, the capital of the Jin kings is Jinyang, the capital of the Yan kings is Beiping, and the kings of Zhou are Kaifeng......"

After Zhu Yunxi finished speaking, he asked rhetorically again.

"Dare to ask the Holy Father of Yan, among the sons of my imperial grandfather, can there be one person in the land of Jiangnan anointed?"

"This ......"

Kong Ne was stunned on the spot when he heard this, Xi'an, Jinyang, Beiping, and Kaifeng that he just said may have been prosperous in history, but they were all desolate places at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Diaphragm

Even if the Ming Dynasty was founded for more than 20 years, a large area in the north is still sparsely populated, and it is definitely not a prosperous and rich place.

Lao Zhu's eyes lit up suddenly when he heard this, and he guessed what Zhu Yunxi was going to say next.

"My imperial grandfather's move is indeed a bit selfish, but it is more to maintain the stability of the Ming Frontier!"

"This means that the vassal king guards the country, and the king dies!"
