Chapter 223: Traitors may not be traitors, and loyal ministers may not be loyal
"Zhongqing still has something to say!"
Lao Zhu's eyes were majestic, and his words carried a strong sense of oppression, which put great pressure on the ministers.
Xu Da, Tang He, Feng Sheng, Tang Shengzong, Lu Zhongheng, Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong, Liu Sanwu, Song Lian, Lv Chang, Ru Taisu...... All the Hongwu ministers are pretending to be deaf and dumb.
They know very well that once Lao Zhu makes a decision, no one can stop him, so they should not touch Lao Zhu's bad head, not to mention how much does it have to do with them to cancel the preferential treatment policy for literati?
They are officials, not literati!
The people of the world, it is important to say that it is important, and it is not important to say that it is not important, in fact, it is not important, it depends on what the people in power think, Lao Zhu wants to suppress the literati, then suppress it!
"We have decided to cancel many preferential treatment policies for literati, and we will never change them, and whoever dares to roar filial piety to the court will be punished for disobedience."
Lao Zhu said coldly, his attitude was extremely strong, and no one could stop him from doing what he was going to do.
The resistance that Zhu Houzhao encountered in implementing the law change can be called the enemy of the whole world, and in the end it was not successful, and his situation was much better than Zhu Houzhao's, so he did not believe that he could not do the big thing of changing the law.
Those who dare to scream will be killed.
......
After retiring from the dynasty, Lao Zhu summoned Yang Xian alone, and I don't know what he said to Yang Xian.
"Grandpa Huang, Yang Xian, is this person really available?"
Xiao Zhu said hesitantly.
Yang Xian is talented, but greedy for power, in order to climb up, and even dare to deceive the upper and lower levels, all kinds of illegal things committed during his governance of Yangzhou, Lao Zhu is not unclear, but for the sake of his real prosperity in Yangzhou from the dilapidation, he opened one eye, closed one eye, and did not punish him.
Such a person, let him preside over the reform of the law, Xiao Zhu felt that the risk was too high.
No matter what, you have to find someone who is highly respected and can be outstanding, Li Shanchang, Liu Sanwu, Liu Bowen...... Those who are more capable than Yang Xian, who are more talented than Yang Xian, are everywhere in the Hongwu Dynasty.
"It's not a question of availability or not, but the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, he is the most suitable!"
Lao Zhu smiled slightly and asked, "What do you think is the biggest difference between Yang Xian and those civil and military ministers?" ”
"The difference?"
Xiao Zhu was stunned, he really didn't notice this.
"The biggest difference between Yang Xian and the Manchu Dynasty is that he is shameless enough, and he can do whatever it takes to climb up."
"To implement the reform of the law, those who are not bold cannot do it, Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen, Liu Sanwu These people are burdened by fame and do not want to offend the people of the world."
Lao Zhu taught Xiao Zhu earnestly: "Yang Xian is different, he wants to climb up, based on the desire for power, he will not resist what we ask him to do, between power and fame, Yang Xian will definitely choose power." ”
"Remember, sometimes, traitors may not be traitors, loyal ministers may not be loyal, in the eyes of the superiors, there is only the difference between being able to use and not being able to use."
"Yang Xian can use it, then promote him and let him charge for us."
"The court is a big dye vat, not black and white, you have to learn to look at the ministers with the eyes of the superiors, so that you can distinguish the pros and cons of the trend of the court, so as to control the ministers."
Lao Zhu had high hopes for Xiao Zhu, and every word he said was full of deep meaning, which made Xiao Zhu unconsciously fall into contemplation.
"It's a pity that our Hongwu Dynasty doesn't have a Wang Yangming who dares to be the first in the world!"
Looking at Xiao Zhu who was deep in thought, Lao Zhu couldn't help but sigh while being relieved.
Without the help of Wang Yangming, a saint who dared to be the first in the world and had lofty ideals, it would be difficult for Zhu Houzhao to reform the world alone.
Hongwu Dynasty is even more difficult, Li Shanchang, Liu Sanwu, Liu Bowen These people are outstanding, but they don't have the courage to be enemies of the world, they all want to protect themselves, and Lao Zhu has to use Yang Xian.
Yang Xian is a mad dog who can be desperate to climb up, but mad dogs also have the benefits of mad dogs, because he is pure enough, as long as he gives enough, let him be the enemy of the world, and he doesn't care.
"You are still young, and you have too little experience in the world, remember to watch more and learn more."
Lao Zhu said earnestly, he had too many expectations for Xiao Zhu.
"Yes, the grandson will not disappoint the imperial grandfather."
Xiao Zhu said very seriously, with extraordinary confidence and high spirits.
Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne at a young age, and he was still able to achieve the level he is now step by step, he has been taught by Lao Zhu since he was a child, and he is backed by the powerful Huaixi Party, if he can't make progress, it will be too much of a failure.
"You're tired too, let's go back and rest first!"
Sending Xiao Zhu away, Lao Zhu began to think about reforming and changing the law again.
The situation of his Hongwu Dynasty is very different from Zhu Houzhao's Zhengde Dynasty, and the reform and reform cannot be blindly copied and copied, but must be changed to a certain extent, otherwise it will only make the situation worse.
Those who learn from me live, and those who imitate me die!
This is true on the path of cultivation, and the same is true for governing the country.
Lao Zhu's vision is extremely sharp, he can see very clearly, his Hongwu Dynasty is strong, but it is also difficult to make large-scale changes because of its strength.
First of all, there is the issue of honors, nine out of ten honors and nobles of the Hongwu Dynasty are Huaixi Party, and the Huaixi Party is an old brother who follows him to fight the world, and it is really not easy to move lightly.
Then there is the issue of vassal kings, many of whom are either his own sons or the descendants of his brothers and sisters, and it is even more difficult to start.
Xungui, the vassal king, these are the two biggest obstacles that prevent him from reforming and changing the law.
Like a businessman, a local tycoon, and a gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, he didn't pay attention to it at all, and if he didn't accept it, he would be destroyed directly.
"Alas......"
Lao Zhu sighed helplessly, only when he really came into contact with the reform and change of the law could he understand the hardships involved.
There are enemies everywhere, it's definitely not a joke, you have to change, and today's vested interests will be crazy to defend their own interests, and the final outcome will only be that one side exists and one side falls.
Changing the law is so cruel, it needs to be paved with endless corpses.
In the process of Zhu Houzhao's reform, he didn't know how many people had fallen off the horse, and excluding the dead, the criminal officials, merchants, and gentry who cultivated land in Liaodong alone were nearly as high as one million.
It is not surprising that 10,000 bones will be dry, and the reform of the law will not only be 10,000 bones, 100,000 bones, or 100,000 bones.
The emergence of a new set of order and regulations always requires the use of blood as a sacrifice for baptism, although extremely cruel, but after the cruelty and bloody baptism, the most brilliant flowers will be born.
In the Qin period, Shang Ying changed the law, and used the decline of the old scholars of the Qin State to sacrifice for the new law; Zhu Houzhao used the defeat of various power groups to lay the majesty of the reform; And Lao Zhu changed the law, and the most suitable for establishing authority was none other than the nobles and vassal kings.
"I hope you don't make it difficult for us!"
Picking up the pen and writing down the names of the famous ones on a blank list, a trace of imperceptible killing intent flashed in Lao Zhu's eyes.
