Chapter Seventy-Four: The King's Mind
After listening to the words of the woman in the yellow shirt, Zhang Wuji pondered for a moment, and then said: "Since ancient times, those who have been in the Tao have not harmed people's relatives and have no heirs. And my Mingjiao walks the way of heaven and does righteous deeds. Naturally, we must not do such an unrighteous thing. Therefore, do as we have just commanded. ”
Zhou Zhiruo also echoed: "Yes, although we are in a high position now, we are all from the rivers and lakes, and we rely on the word 'righteousness' to walk the rivers and lakes, with love for friends, and benevolence to women, children, and children. Otherwise, how can you afford the word 'chivalry'. ”
Seeing Zhang Wuji's determination, after listening to Zhou Zhiruo's words, everyone didn't want to say anything more.
However, although Zhang Wuji said so, he was really not soft-hearted. It's just a decision made as a person in power after weighing the pros and cons.
Zhang Wuji's idea is very simple, that is, there can be "dirty work", but the person who does this dirty work must not be him, or even his orders.
After all, he bullied the concubines of a country and killed the royal family. This is something that will be recorded in the history books.
It's like the Han people recording the shame of Jingkang.
At best, he will be scolded by future generations, and at worst, he may become an excuse for others to rebel against him.
And whether there will be anyone who will rebel against you in the future has nothing to do with whether it is the royal family of the previous dynasty or not.
After all, the banner he is playing now is to expel the Tartars and recover the Central Plains, which will be a shame for a hundred years.
And he, Zhang Wuji, can be far-fetched to say that it is after Zhang Tianshi, but he can't fight with the eight poles of the Song Dynasty clan.
However, it is he who has become the leader of the world now, not the clan of the Song Dynasty. And he doesn't need to support any Song Dynasty clan as a banner.
Although what the woman in the yellow shirt said is reasonable, getting rid of them now can more or less cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, so as to prevent future troubles.
But in the long run, this is more than worth the loss.
Now that he is in a high position, he must be cautious in everything he says and does, at least to ensure the image of "Wei Guangzheng" on the surface.
Such as Qin Shi Huang and Tang Taizong, all of them have Daoming monarchs.
Qin Shi Huang swept through the six kingdoms to dominate the world, ending the thousand-year-old slavery system and forming a true unification.
Tang Taizong Wentao was proficient in everything, and Wenzhi created the rule of Zhenguan. Martial arts helped Tang Gaozu unify the world, wiped out the eighteen tribes of the grassland, and was enshrined as the Heavenly Khan.
And just such two people, later generations have mixed evaluations of them.
Some people revere Emperor Qin's martial arts, but denounce his brutality in building the Great Wall.
And Tang Taizong, not to mention, the change of Xuanwumen killed his brother and forced his father to abdicate. Occupying his younger siblings and sisters-in-law is even more criticized by later generations.
They are still like this, not to mention far inferior to themselves.
What's more, the orders he gave were not allowed to kill innocents indiscriminately, and he set his own rules, but he violated them, and I am afraid that the team will not be able to lead it in the future.
Therefore, Zhang Wuji felt that it was a very unwise choice to kill them.
And Zhang Wuji also scolded Zhao Min and Peng Yingyu for being stupid.
He shouldn't be asked about such things. What's there, they just need to solve it in private, and when the time comes, everything will be fine when they turn a blind eye. Now that they've made it clear, what do they say?
Now Zhang Wuji really wants to find someone who specializes in doing dirty work for himself.
However, compared to Zhang Wuji's hypocrisy as a person in power, Zhou Zhiruo does not have so many fancy intestines.
Although Zhou Zhiruo is jealous and has a great desire for power, when it comes to the heart of the city, she is only a little woman, far inferior to Dai Qisi and Zhao Min.
And Zhou Zhiruo was born in poverty, and she has been taught by her teacher for many years, so she is telling the truth. Although she hated the Mongols, it was not to the extent that all women and children were killed and destroyed.
Seeing Zhang Wuji's eyes, Zhao Min seemed to think of something. Although he was not sure, Zhao Min already had his own plans.
Zhao Min turned around at this time and said, "Since Your Majesty has issued a holy decree, then let's act according to Your Majesty's orders." ”
"Yes!" Peng Yingyu escorted these women and children to retreat at this time.
Zhang Wuji stood up at this time, he stretched his waist, and he said: "Let's go, since we occupy this place, let's go to other places and see what is different from the palace in the Western Regions." ”
With that, Zhang Wuji stepped down from the throne, and then led everyone to wander around.
Although this place had just experienced a great war, the people of the Ming Sect cleaned up very thoroughly, and in just a few hours, they cleaned up the bloodstains and corpses. Now order has been restored in the royal palace. New guards have been put on.
Zhang Wuji took everyone to visit, but at this time, only Zhao Min was missing.
Seeing that Zhao Min was gone, the corners of Zhang Wuji's mouth couldn't help but rise, and a smile floated, it seems that the person who knows him best in this world is still his Minmin.
And Zhao Min came to Peng Yingyu's residence in private.
Seeing Zhao Min coming in, Peng Yingyu hurriedly stood up. However, Peng Yingyu did not salute her.
He stood up just because Zhao Min was Zhang Wuji's woman. However, Zhang Wuji has not officially canonized Zhao Min now, so Peng Yingyu does not need to pay any salute to her. Besides, Peng Yingyu has always hated Zhao Min.
Peng Yingyu still shouted out of politeness: "I don't know if the sect leader's wife came to find her subordinates, but there is something important." ”
Zhao Min laughed lightly and said, "I don't know that Mr. Peng is a loyal and good general of Brother Wuji?" ”
Peng Yingyu was puzzled, and she didn't know why Zhao Min asked this.
Peng Yingyu arched her hand and replied, "This is nature. ”
Zhao Min sat down unceremoniously at Peng Yingyu's table, and she said, "That's good." Since Mr. Peng thinks that he is a loyal and good general, then I have something to say. ”
Peng Yingyu said: "If you have anything to say, the sect leader's wife can just say it. ”
Zhao Min nodded, and then said: "This is the way of the minister, but it is just 'the matter of eating the king and being loyal to the king'." Since Mr. Peng claims to be a loyal minister, he should be loyal to the monarch regardless of his personal reputation. Am I right? ”
Although Peng Yingyu was still confused, he still arched his hand and said: "This is nature. Your Majesty has a great life-saving grace to my Mingjiao internally. Externally, he is also the master of Kuangfu Sheji. I, Peng Yingyu, went to the soup for His Majesty, and I didn't give up my bones, not to mention my personal reputation. ”
After listening to Peng Yingyu's words and seeing a firm look, Zhao Min stood up at this time and bowed to Peng Yingyu with a river and lake salute.
Seeing Zhao Min saluting to herself, Peng Yingyu was about to step forward to help, but when she thought that the other party was a woman or a woman on her lord, his hand stopped in the air, and then said, "What is the sect leader's wife doing?" Giving such a big gift to one of my subordinates really tormented me. ”
Zhao Min replied: "This worship is the loyalty of Mr. Peng, and Mr. Peng accepts it." ”
Peng Yingyu said: "If you have any orders, the sect leader's wife will say it clearly, Peng Yingyu will definitely live up to her mission!" ”
Zhao Min nodded and said, "Very good, since this is the case, I will say it bluntly." ”
