Chapter 906: Forced to Be Righteous and Righteous
"In the past few days, have there been any changes in the two big turbans of the Yushitai and the military department? The prince can see them? "Two days before the court meeting, in the Song State Mansion, Feng Sheng drank a bottle of wine from the Western Regions and asked the steward beside him.
The Feng family was a big family at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Feng Sheng and his brother Feng Guoyong saw the chaos in the world, so they took out their family wealth to recruit troops and buy horses to protect themselves. After meeting Lao Zhu, the two brothers voted for Lao Zhu. Therefore, compared with the other founding generals of the Ming Dynasty, Feng Shengzhou always has a little more extravagance. Now, the generals in Ying Tianfu respect him, and he is regarded as the Dinghai Divine Needle of the military left by Lao Zhu in Beijing.
"Returning to China, Ru Yu and Ru Taisu are still the same, constantly inviting officials and holding cultural meetings. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still in the cabinet every day, although Ru Yu and Ru Taisu have also been invited, the prince has not allowed it. ”
The steward of the Feng family is also from the army, although he wears a robe, but Zhou still has a military temperament that cannot be hidden. He sneered: "This group of big turbans doesn't know anything, I really think I can have a separate sign with our grandfather...... Ma Ye is a relative of the queen's mother, and the emperor can't rub sand in his eyes. Could it really be that she listened to the woman's side and let the southwest hide these scourges? ”
"Not necessarily, Your Majesty has made the prince decide on this matter, and above the court meeting, the prince's actions are very important." Feng Shengdao. "Fortunately, although the crown prince is also close to civil officials, he is generally biased towards our honorables. For the emperor, what he seeks is balance, and when our martial arts are powerful, we can be sealed to the outer frontier, but if we deviate from morality, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty, how can we suppress those literati. ”
The essence of the civil and military controversy, Feng Sheng saw the door clearly. The status of the literati will advance by leaps and bounds, so the suppression of the literati, the strict investigation of corruption, and the prohibition of the literati's relatives from doing business are all means of suppressing the literati. But governing the country is inseparable from the literati.
If you want to suppress the literati, the warriors are necessary. Because only when the hilt of the sword is in the hands of the emperor, the emperor can punish the literati as much as he wants. Today, there are many major cases, but the country is not alarmed, and the root cause of this is because the military power has always been in the hands of today. Today's prestige in the army can be said to be unparalleled.
But although the crown prince Zhu Biao is not longer than the deep palace, his prestige in the army is very different from his father. The Ming Dynasty will expand its territory in the future is a national policy, although it can temporarily stop the war and recuperate, but after recuperation, this trend will still be unstoppable, this is the turbulent public opinion...... Does the crown prince Zhu Biao really have such great courage to separate from the martial arts for the sake of civil officials?
Agree to the request of the warrior nobles, and take this as an opportunity to let the military generals cede some benefits to the civilian officials, so as to balance the forces of both sides, and everyone is happy...... This should be what a qualified prince should do.
Moreover, Ma Ye is a relative of the queen, and with today's temperament and the current national strength of the Ming Dynasty, it is unlikely that Jinshang will be able to tolerate the autonomy of the southwest. If such a righteous name is lowered today, the prince is figuring out the holy will, and he should also favor their generals.
"So, what's so unusual in the market?" Feng Sheng asked.
Xie Jin's secret meeting with Fang Xiaoru and Luo Guanzhong, others didn't know about this matter, or didn't pay attention to it, but Feng Sheng was very concerned. For the fifth prince Zhu Su, he has always attached great importance to and feared, and in the past, he also thought of living in strange goods and marrying his daughter to Zhu Su.
For Zhu Su's disciple Xie Jin, others did not take this person seriously, but Feng Sheng attached great importance to it. Several people that Zhu Su valued, such as Tie Xuan, Zhang He, Lan Yu, Yang Shiqi, Luo Guanzhong, have now made great military achievements, or have become important ministers of the imperial court, showing their ability to be different from ordinary people in a certain aspect. This Xie Jin is the scholar named by the five princes to take with him when he went to the southwest, and this time he accompanied the woman named Liu Shuzhen back to the capital, if he said that he did not bear any heavy responsibilities, Feng Shengru would not believe it.
Xie Jinyi secretly met with Fang Xiaoru and Luo Guanzhong, and Feng Sheng's heart immediately sounded the alarm bell. In the past, in order to crack down on Cheng Zhu Lixue and promote new learning, Zhu Su's public opinion offensive Feng Sheng still vividly remembers. If this Xie Jin was instructed by the Fifth Highness Zhu Su, so he repeated his skills, using newspapers and storytelling operas to manipulate public opinion, and smear their military generals and nobles, they would really be a little jealous.
"Grandpa Guo, I haven't heard of any movement in the market." The steward of the Song State Mansion. "No one smears us martial artists, and I think so, those storytellers and newspaper editors are human sperm, if you really dare to make up any rumors to go around saying that ours are not, aren't you afraid that our big-headed soldiers will beat them with a big fist in a vinegar bowl?"
As soon as he said this, Feng Sheng also laughed. Yes, these methods can work against the literati, but they can't deal with the warriors...... Xiucai meets a soldier, and he can't explain it clearly, and the martial artist doesn't pay attention to the dignity of a literati, and he is in a hurry, but he can really beat people.
"Sir, sir." Suddenly, a family member shouted outside, accompanied by the sound of hurried footsteps with joy, and then, Feng Sheng's favorite wife, Sun Shi, hurriedly broke in.
Feng Sheng frowned slightly, and reprimanded: "Shouting and shouting, what kind of system is it?" He waved his hand to signal the steward to go down, and then said, "What is the matter?" is babbling, and is not afraid of jokes. ”
"In my own back house, who is there to laugh at." This Mrs. Sun was not afraid of Feng Sheng at all, she glanced at Feng Sheng coquettishly, and continued: "Master, do you know, I went to the teahouse today and found something? ”
"What?" Feng Sheng asked.
"Found ...... Today's street tea shops are all spreading your name! Mrs. Sun was pleasantly surprised, and even her gaze at Feng Sheng was a little affectionate. The storytellers of the whole city are talking about your great achievements in recovering Shanxi and capturing Gongchang in the past. ”
"Spread my name?" Feng Sheng was happy at first, and then frowned, feeling that things should not be so simple.
The teahouse and the storyteller are the public opinion methods that the five princes used the most in the past. In the past few days, Xie Jin, Fang Xiaoru, and Luo Guanzhong have had a secret meeting, is this the result of their secret meeting in the past few days?
Can...... Why do you want to spread the word for your own people?
"Madame, what have you heard?" Feng Shengdao. "Tell me more!"
Since the other party has made a move, it is impossible to be targeted...... Could it be that he wants to praise him Feng Sheng to the state of being a master of high merit, so as to kill him Feng Sheng?
