Chapter 913: The Righteous Monarch

"I am a Ming dynasty, different from the past dynasties, not for the sake of self-styled dynasty. Because of the fifth brother, my vision is much higher than that of the previous dynasties, and I can't use the balance of the previous dynasties to restrain the civil and military by cutting my hands and feet. Zhu Biao said.

“…… However, Wu Xun's powerful things cannot be let go. Erchen thought about it for a long time before he came up with such a solution. ”

How to deal with the situation of disagreement between the civil and military forces of the DPRK caused by the incident in Shuixi is a consideration arranged by Lao Zhu to Zhu Biao.

Obviously, Zhu Biao did a very good job.

Today, it is not yet the time to "keep it", and Lao Zhu's ambition has already been fed by Zhu Su's map of Kunyu Wanguo, and he wants to take advantage of the current Ming Dynasty when it is still prosperous, to lay a big territory for future generations. This pioneering state policy required the imperial court not to adopt the balancing act often used by other dynasties, that is, to consolidate the imperial power by constantly reducing the wings of the powerful side.

The expansion of the Ming Dynasty also needs the full support of the martial arts, and the martial artists always have enterprising ambitions. For this purpose, we must not dampen the enthusiasm of martial artists to make meritorious contributions.

However, the increasing domineering of martial artists and the increasing pursuit of military merit and self-interest are undoubtedly a huge problem. Zhu Biao's move of "moral kidnapping" is a way to restrain Wu Xun's behavior.

"But Biao'er, you want to use this 'Yingjie Temple' as a shackle to imprison these martial artists...... I'm afraid, it's not enough. "Old Zhu Dao.

"Even if I invited Master Song to endorse me, these cubs are all meat-eating wolves...... If you only rely on the empty check of reputation, I am afraid that you will not be able to stop them. ”

"Do you have a backhand?" Lao Zhu's eyes burned.

The vision of the Ming Dynasty is higher than that of the previous dynasties, and the great things that he wants to do are not comparable to the previous dynasties. If you want to force a comparison, perhaps the Zhou Dynasty thousands of years ago was the most similar to the Ming Dynasty, and the common point between the two is that they both adopted the "sub-feudal system", intending to open up the territory and further expand the territory of China through the method of sub-feudalization.

However, the Western Zhou Dynasty was different from the Ming Dynasty, and the Western Zhou Dynasty had a perfect "Zhou ceremony" to restrain the princes of the Quartet. Although the rites collapsed in the Spring and Autumn Period, the binding force of the Zhou rites on the princes was declining day by day. However, it is undeniable that in the early days, Zhou Li did form a strong constraint on the princes of the Quartet.

Even after the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, because of the foundation laid by Zhou Li in the early stage, whether it was the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons or the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, no matter how powerful, they still did not dare to blatantly take the name of Zhou Tianzi and replace it, but let the Zhou Dynasty continue to survive for hundreds of years......

In the process of the survival of the Zhou Dynasty, the role of Zhou Li was indispensable.

However, the Ming Dynasty did not have a corresponding "Zhou Li", although Zhu Su, Song Lian, Liu Bowen and others have achieved initial results in implementing the new school, and a large part of the theoretical basis of the new school also comes from the "Zhou Li". But after all, Xinxue is still regarded as Confucian learning, and its influence and binding force are mostly reflected at the level of literati, and its influence on military generals can be described as minimal.

The Ming Dynasty urgently needs a moral code like Zhou Li, which is not only a moral code for the whole society, but also a legal constraint on the princes of the Quartet.

Zhu Biao naturally knew this, so in the face of Lao Zhu's question, he arched his hand and said: "Father, the son and the minister have a future." ”

"The son wants to ask his father to change the way of my Ming Dynasty's military exploits, and include 'defending the country and protecting the people' into the criteria for my Ming Dynasty's military merits."

"In the future, all those who defend the country and protect the people will be like killing the enemy in battle formation, beheading and breaking the formation, and they need to be credited with meritorious service. In case of floods, earthquakes, etc., those who participate in flood fighting and search and rescue should be credited with meritorious service. ”

"During the war, if there is an act of mutilating the people and harming the people, even if the war achievements are great, they will not be counted as meritorious. We can't just make a fuss about reputation and morality, we should make concerted efforts in military law, and cooperate with each other to build our Ming Dynasty into a real teacher of benevolence and righteousness. ”

"Hmm......" Lao Zhu nodded. Devoting local garrisons to the rescue and reconstruction of various natural disasters such as floods and earthquakes was one of the reform lines for the health center system that Zhu Su proposed a long time ago. Although it is a garrison, it cannot only be used for war, the army is highly organized and obedient, and it is used for disaster relief, and its role is much greater than that of ordinary government yamen.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the martial artists being held up for "stressing morality" to change the traditional way of remembering meritorious service for thousands of years, and changing the protection of the people to the first criterion for remembering military merits, it can also be brought to the army, which was originally just a violent machine, and attach the duty of disaster relief, which is indeed a good way to kill two birds with one stone. But......

"The change of military law involves a lot of things, compared with the Yingjie Temple and the Book of the People, they are all petty fights...... Are you sure? Lao Zhu narrowed his eyes and said to Zhu Biao.

"I'm not sure, and my son wants to try it too." Zhu Biao's voice was still firm.

Hearing this, Lao Zhu nodded with satisfaction. Seeing that Zhu Biao acted decisively, he already had the demeanor of an emperor, which taught Lao Zhu to be happy more than others.

"In that case, go ahead." Lao Zhu said casually.

"Do whatever you want, if something happens, we'll support you."

The change of military law is indeed a major event with great implications, but now he is still alive.

With him, this big tomorrow can't be messed up!

"Yes." Zhu Biao bowed respectfully. "Father, rest assured, the sons and daughters will not mess around, and will definitely find the best opportunity to do something."

……

The opportunity in Zhu Biao's mouth did not come from withering. has been in charge of the country for many years, and his political methods are no longer as immature as they used to be. Because of Zhu Su's baptism, he is not a simple humble gentleman now, but has his own thunder methods.

"Your Highness." In the study room of the Prince's Mansion, the commander of the Jinyi Guard made Jiang Zheng pay respectful visits to Zhu Biao, and then listened to the training with his hands lowered on the side.

"Jiang Xuan, this time my father sent you to Guiyang to inquire about Ma Ye's forced rebellion against Shuixi, do you know what to do?" Zhu Biao put his hands behind his back, his back to Jiang Xuan, his face was hidden in the shadows, and he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.

"Huh?" Jiang Biao was stunned, Zhu Biao, the crown prince, has always been upright and bright, and he is known as a model of benevolence in the future, this is the first time Jiang Biao has heard Zhu Biao's words mean something.

But because of Zhu Biao's style in the court, he thought about it for a while, and still said: "The minister understands...... The minister will definitely find out the truth and handle the case impartially......"

"Nope." Jiang Xuan's voice did not fall, but he was already interrupted by Zhu Biao.

"The one who wants it alone is not impartial."

"No matter what the truth you find, it doesn't matter if Ma Ye has the heart to force against Shuixi. What is lonely is 'Ma Ye is eager to take military merits and carry out the act of bullying the king'. ”

"Ling...... Do you understand? ”
