Chapter 24 The crown prince was born to wipe the emperor's buttocks
The words fell.
A middle-aged man in a red official robe came out of the ranks.
In the imperial history, Cheng Tujie walked up to Zhu Yuanzhang and knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Tu Jie with a cold gaze, and asked with an unkind face:
"Tu Jie, what do you have to play?"
Tu Jie looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang and made a generous statement:
"Chen Tujie, as an imperial history, has the responsibility of admonishing."
"Your Majesty, the edict that the prince just read out is really against the national system, please retract this edict from Your Majesty."
As soon as these words came out, the civil and military spirits of the Manchu Dynasty were lifted.
Finally someone stood up and spoke.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was gloomy, and he said coldly:
"Tu Jie, how can my edict violate the national system? You make it clear to me. ”
"Don't think that because you're a counselor, I won't dare to kill you, if you don't make it clear to me, I'll let you taste the taste of the court staff."
Zhu Yuanzhang was angry, but he could only say some cruel words.
Not to kill officials, since the Tang Dynasty, has become an unwritten rule in all dynasties.
This regulation has to start with Wei Zheng during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty.
The most famous official in history is Wei Zheng of the Tang Dynasty.
He put forward the idea of 'listening to both sides of the road and listening to the dark', 'being prepared for danger in times of peace, abstaining from luxury and frugality', and advocating 'light endowment', 'light rent and tax', and 'leniency and benevolence to govern the world', which had a positive impact on the administration of Tang Taizong.
and assisted Li Shimin to create the 'rule of Zhenguan'.
During the Zhenguan period, Wei Zheng served as a counselor.
Wei Zheng dared to admonish directly, even when Taizong was angry and no one dared to disobey, Wei Zheng dared to argue face to face that Taizong did something wrong.
Never back down because of external factors.
Sometimes he argues with reason in the court, so that Taizong can't step down.
Even so, Tang Taizong did not kill Wei Zheng.
The Tang Dynasty was a pair of gentlemen and ministers, and they became a model for later generations.
Since then, the tradition of not killing officials has been preserved.
This is also the confidence of Tu Jie when Lao Zhu was extremely angry, and still dared to propose the abolition of the edict.
It's just that who is Zhu Yuanzhang?
A generation of heroes, an emperor through the ages!
Throughout Chinese history, the emperor with the lowest background, starting from a beggar, forcibly defeated the Mongolian iron cavalry that dominated the world, and created the Ming Dynasty for nearly 300 years.
How can it be done without super strategy and means.
A little trick like Tu Jie could not shake his determination.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were like knives, with a murderous aura all over his body.
Fengtian Hall suddenly invaded with a cold intent.
Tu Jie was also frightened by Zhu Yuanzhang's momentum.
He fell to the ground, not daring to look up.
"The minister thinks that 'the officials and gentry are one on errands and one for food', which is not in line with the ancestral system."
"Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, the gentry have not been bad and do not pay grain, and their system has been passed down for thousands of years."
"If the gentry stand in the court and serve the Son of Heaven, how can they pay food and serve the conscription with the untouchables?"
"I want our dynasty to drive out the Tartars, restore China, respect Confucianism and filial piety, and live in harmony with the people."
"The minister is worried that once the ancestral system is destroyed and the new policy is implemented, it will be opposed by hundreds of officials, and I am afraid that the world will be chaotic."
There was silence in the courtroom.
The eyes of all the officials looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was pale, and he stared at Tu Jie with tiger eyes.
"Tu Jie, this is your advice?"
"You asked me to withdraw the edict on the grounds that my policy violated the ancestral system?"
Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang withdrew his gaze and looked at the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.
"Tu Jie said that my policy violates the ancestral system, what is the ancestral system? Is it like you who hold the court's money and enjoy the fertile land given by the court? ”
"But you don't have to pay for food, you don't have to serve as a servant?"
"I say you are a bunch of maggots parasitic on the people."
"We were born as farmers, and now that we have taken over the world, we have to be the masters of the people of the world."
Zhu Yuanzhang swept his eyes, those nobles in Huaixi.
"There are a lot of old guys here who came out of Huaixi with me."
"Don't forget, you were once farmers!"
"Don't think that if you sit on the country, you will be out of the land and no longer a peasant."
"I tell you, no matter how big an official you are and how much power you have, your roots are still peasants."
"The foundation of the Ming Dynasty is the peasants, the people, not you noble officials and gentry."
Zhu Yuanzhang's words were sonorous and infectious.
Fengtian Temple.
All the officials were infected.
The cry is everywhere, and the mountain is shouting long live.
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
"Long live my emperor!"
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang bowed slightly.
Today's purpose has been achieved.
Wait until the applause of the ministers subsides.
"Today's deliberations are over, and the rest of the matter will be decided by the prince."
After that, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his leg and left.
When he passed by Hu Weiyong and Tu Jie, who were still kneeling on the ground, they didn't even look at it.
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's figure disappear behind the screen of the main hall.
The muscles on Prince Zhu Biao's face twitched.
His father didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, he gave the task an explanation, pulled his legs and left, and handed over the rest of the stall to him, who was a son.
Alas!
Thinking about him, the prince, I don't know how many times I have rubbed his father's ass.
That's fate!
……
Zhu Biao finished handling the affairs of the court and returned to the palace to resume his life, as if it was past noon.
Now.
Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting in Queen Ma's Kunning Palace eating.
Lunch is very simple, one meat and one vegetable, a small plate of pickles, plus three steamed buns.
Zhu Yuanzhang was wearing a simple cloth robe, with one foot on a chair, holding a porcelain bowl in his hand, and drinking gruel.
did not care about the identity of the emperor at all.
On the side, Queen Ma looked at it and frowned.
"Chongba, you are now the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, why are you still eating like in the former military camp? Wouldn't this image make people laugh when it gets out? ”
"Alas, my sister is still eating comfortably at your place."
"We are the emperor, we can eat as much as we want, let's see which one dares to go out and spread the word."
"Having said that, you know us best, sister, and you know that we like to drink gruel and eat white flour steamed buns."
Saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed a white steamed bun and took a big bite.
Immediately afterwards, he took a bite of pickles, snorted and drank porridge, and relished.
"You eat slowly, no one will rob you, how can you be like a child!"
Queen Ma glanced at him, took a piece of meat with chopsticks, put it in the old Zhu bowl, and said casually:
"By the way, Chongba, is the second child still angry with you? When are you going to let him out? ”
"I heard that he met a gentleman in it and studied in it every day, and since he recognized this gentleman, he simply let him go with him."
"It's just for the second child to be the master, anyway, he's going to be a vassal, so let Mr. go with him."
Zhu Yuanzhang drank the porridge in two bites and looked up at Queen Ma.
"What, that's what the boss told you?"
Queen Ma did not evade, and said while cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks:
"The eldest also cares about his younger brother, is it wrong to tell his mother?"
"Chongba, we know that you have always hated the harem for politics, but our son was imprisoned in the edict and suffered in it, we can't ignore it!"
"You say that rabbit cub is suffering in it?"
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed:
"He's more chic in it than anyone else."
"By the way, that basket of fresh lychees was sent in by you, and that is the new lychee on the market in Lingnan this year."
"I am reluctant to eat, let Liu He give it to my sister, but you send it to prison, let the rabbit cub enjoy it inside."
Queen Ma glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang:
"Yes, I sent the lychee in by the boss, and my son was convicted in the edict, can I care about it?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little helpless:
"You say he's sinned? You underestimate him too much, this rabbit cub actually arranged for the little guy to press the stilts in the edict prison. ”
"He really treats the edict as a palace, and he can do whatever he wants."
"You just get used to it, one day he'll have to poke out a big basket for us!"
