Chapter 11: Fang Xiaoru's Shock

For no other reason, everyone wants to limit the imperial power. At least the emperor can't kill people if he wants to.

The struggle between Zhu Yuanzhang and the southern scholars was certainly a struggle between reform and conservatism. But it is also a struggle between the power of the monarch and the power of the subject.

And He Xi's approach is to completely suppress the monarchy. At the very least, the scene of the emperor and the ministers sitting and discussing the Tao will happen again in the future.

The reason is simple, the will of the people is not in the king, but the monarch must respect the will of the people, which is the source of his legal system. The emperor was put in chains.

And Fang Xiaoru sighed the most.

Fang Xiaoru has always been disgusted with He Xi.

The fundamental difference between Fang Xiaoru and He Xi lies in the controversy between heaven and man many years ago.

The theory of celestial and human induction is problematic. Fang Xiaoru actually knew that many Confucians did not think much of the induction of heaven and man, that is, Zhu Xi was actually very accomplished in natural science. There are some things, they all understand.

Wang Anshi said that the destiny of heaven is not enough to fear? Wang Anshi is also a great Confucian, and his words like this are not nonsense. There is also a basis for only feeling.

But the role of celestial induction in politics is more important.

The minister needed the Mandate of Heaven to balance the emperor.

He Xi poked in front of everyone, showing that He Xi was very powerful. But what's the use of big things in the world? In the eyes of many people, what He Xi said is good, it is the imperial party, and what he said is not good, it is Zhu Yuanzhang's dog's leg.

Open your eyes for Zhu Yuanzhang.

From the very beginning, the position was wrong. did not follow the way or follow the king, but found a way to act for Zhu Yuanzhang and the tiger. This is clearly a minister.

How much does this make Fang Xiaoru like.

Even if He Xi's doctrine is good and useful. From the point of origin is wrong. This one thing will only get more and more wrong, and there will be no other direction.

It's just that He Xi's big article stunned Fang Xiaoru all of a sudden. He could hardly believe that this was written by He Xi. However, Fang Xiaoru immediately thought of a possibility. He secretly said in his heart: "Isn't He Xi interested in the throne?"

The theory of sanctity denies the sacredness of the emperor, which will inevitably bring about a function, that is, whoever is virtuous in the world can be the logic of the emperor.

Therefore, if this article can be used as a preparation for He Xi's usurpation, it is also possible.

Thinking of this, Fang Xiaoru was slightly relieved.

He would rather believe that He Xi is harboring evil intentions. Otherwise, if He Xi is right. So what is his hard work for so many years? Especially his insistence in front of the crown prince.

"He Xi can only be wrong. It must be wrong." Fang Xiaoru said secretly in his heart. However, when he remembered what He Xi had done, he once again strengthened his thoughts, even if He Xi had a few shining points in this, but He Xi's overall policy was too inconsistent with the way of the sages. Mistreatment of the people.

Naturally, it was a big mistake.

-------

"Mr. Ding." Zhu Yunwen said: "What do you say Beijing does then? How could Zhu Xiongying tolerate He Xi writing such an article? This is nothing short of contempt for royalty. If it is me, I must punish the nine clans, so that everyone in the world will oppose the court. Are you right?"

Zhu Yunwen's words seem to be talking about He Xi, but they actually refer to Ding Xian.

Ding Xian's back was in a cold sweat. There was an infinite complaint about He Xi in his heart, and he secretly said, "If you die, don't pull me?"

During this period of time, Ding Xian found his position in Nanjing, protected He Xi's forces in Nanjing, reintegrated the institution of Shaofu Taiping Iron Works, and tried his best to increase production capacity. Thus supporting the front.

Having mastered these things, Ding Xian can be regarded as having some team in the court. At the very least, it's not a light commander.

But where there are advantages, there are disadvantages.

No, the drawbacks are coming.

Zhu Yunwen did not have any objection to He Xi's doctrine before. Especially Zhu Yuanzhang's previous advice. There is even some value. But that's no longer the case. Zhu Yunwen was extremely disgusted with He Xi's doctrine.

The intention of killing He Xi's nine clans is naturally there

Target. Even He Xi's wife is his own aunt. I don't care.

But this kind of thought, there is no need to say it.

The reason why Zhu Yunwen said it was to warn Ding Xian. Zhu Yunwen can see that He Xi's theory is a complete system, and it is a scientific approach to natural science, logic, empirical and other research methods. In terms of politics, it is to advocate that the people are more important than the king, that everyone is equal, that the basic rights of the people are protected, that the king is under the law, and so on.

In the past, public opinion was not triggered, which caused many people to feel that He Xi's doctrine was incomplete. Now it seems that what is incomplete is just not said.

In other words, Zhu Yunwen judged that He Xi was not sent out in a hurry this time. It's been planned for a long time. And this kind of great rebellion itself is rooted in He Xi's doctrine.

Zhu Yunwen naturally felt uncomfortable with Ding Xian, who reused He Xi's disciples and grandchildren. If possible flowers are used, Zhu Yunwen even wants to have a big purge, the text prison, and destroy all the things related to He Xi and clean them up.

However, Zhu Yunwen must face reality.

That is, Nanjing's ordnance production lags behind Beijing on a large scale.

Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, agreed to go out of the mountain. He followed Beijing's lead in proposing a whole list. Among them, 800,000 troops were trained and thousands of artillery pieces were needed. And all of them need new light guns. These guns need to be produced.

Capacity simply can't keep up.

In the Ming Dynasty, in terms of military production, He Xi is the best, followed by He Xi's disciples and grandchildren. At the critical moment of the war, how can it be said that there is no need for it?

It's just that Zhu Yunwen thinks that there is still something to beat. Hence this remark.

Ding Xian immediately said, "Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty. Congratulations to Your Majesty."

The corners of Zhu Yunwen's mouth twitched, with a slight sneer, and said, "Why are you happy?"

Ding Xian said: "The minister thinks that this article represents the disagreement between the Northern Thief and the Minister, and it has reached a certain level. This is clearly a harbinger of He Xi's desire to usurp the throne. Isn't it the blessing of Your Majesty that thieves are in chaos without a fight? Destiny returns."

Zhu Yunwen heard Ding Xian say this, pondered slightly in his heart, and found that there was indeed such a possibility, so he immediately smiled lightly, and his face was much better. "Or do you speak?"

Ding Xian said: "Your Majesty, where is this minister who can speak, this is obviously the minister's truth."

Zhu Yunwen smiled and said, "In this way, why don't you rebel, how about I behead you?"

"This ------" Ding Xian was stunned for a moment, and he didn't dare to speak. It seems that for a moment I don't know what to say.

Zhu Yunwen couldn't help laughing when he saw this.

Ding Xian listened to Zhu Yunwen's laughter, and he was relieved in his heart.

With Ding Xian's city government, how could he make a fool of himself in front of Zhu Yunwen. It's just a disguise, so as to resolve Zhu Yunwen's malice. Listening to Zhu Yunwen laughing like this at this moment, I felt that this level had finally passed.

Wait for Zhu Yunwen to stop laughing.

Ding Xian whispered, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks so, no matter what He Xi thinks? It's also very simple to spread some rumors when there's nothing to do, but in Yichen's opinion, one mountain can't accommodate two tigers, and He Xi and the traitor will have an accident sooner or later."

This sentence is Ding Xian's psychological words, and the power structure between Zhu Xiongying and He Xi is obviously problematic. This problem is bound to explode, and many people can see it. But it is uncertain when this problem will erupt.

Zhu Yunwen also understood this truth, and secretly said in his heart: "Big brother, big brother, you still can't do it."

From the point of view of power, Zhu Yunwen has also sat firmly in his position, and no one below can threaten his throne, at the cost of the court's finances and the court's control over the local area. But on Beijing's side, it was He Xi who seized power. In the future, even if Beijing wins the world, whether Zhu Xiongying can be on the throne or not is still between the two.

Not to mention, this kind of fierce contradiction may erupt at any time, with such a hidden danger, how can he, Zhu Xiongying, compete with him Zhu Yunwen for the world.

Zhu Yunwen said, "Okay, this matter will be handed over to you. You want what you just said,

It's known to the whole world, and besides." Zhu Yunwen paused slightly, and said, "I specially sent someone to find He Xi and read out my holy decree, as long as he is willing to surrender, I will give him the prince of the country, and he will be hereditary. From generation to generation."
