Chapter 217: The Monarch and the Minister's Plan
readx;? As soon as they returned to Zhu Xi's mansion, they were immediately recruited back to the palace by the eunuchs of the forbidden palace, and in the courtyard outside Zhu Di's bedroom, Zhu Di changed into a purple military robe, stood on the steps with his hands behind his back, and looked at the few big trees in the courtyard blankly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info monk Daoyan had already come, standing under a big tree seriously, looking up at the dark sky from the gap in the branches.
The last yellow leaf fell from the treetops, and Zhu Di suddenly said: "You are here? Well, here are a few articles, you can take a good look." ”
Old Eunuch Lu took out a few scrolls from his sleeve, raised his hand and threw them out, and those scrolls shot steadily in the air towards Li Feng and the others, and when they were still two feet away, they suddenly separated, just as one fell in everyone's hand. Li Feng first looked at Zhu Di, and then opened the small paper scroll in his hand. "Hey, it's every word, but it's used to scold the emperor, isn't this an act of looking for death?...... Looking at these names, it seems that I have also heard of them are all famous literati today, aren't they afraid of the whole family beheaded?"
Li Feng looked at Zhu Di very strangely, and Zhu Xi also finished reading the paper scroll in their hands, and their faces were gloomy for a while. Only Shui Yuanzi held up the scroll of paper in his hand and said, "Who is this scolding?" It was as if this person had killed the whole family of the person who wrote the article, and he almost cried bitterly and asked the whole world to kill this person together. ”
Zhu Di said in a deep voice with a hideous face: "These articles are all secretly scolded by people in the world. Good to read, read their articles. They are all talented and learned people, but they are all aimed at me one by one? Could it be that I am really not as good as Zhu Yunwen to be a good emperor? Arrest them all and kill them, saying that they slander the government and deserve to die, and by the way, their nine clans will also be wiped out, saving some rebellious roots. ”
Isn't it just to kill a few people? The brocade guards of the Ming Dynasty killed more people every day, and Li Feng did not hesitate to accept it directly.
The monk next to him, Dao Yan, laughed softly, flicked his fingers, and a yellow leaf on the ground was stirred up by the soft force and fluttered into his hand. With a look of great pity and compassion. Monk Daoyan still said in his unique feminine voice: "Your Majesty killed these fifteen people this time. There are still so many people who read in the world, and there will still be people who are not afraid of death who will jump out and scold His Majesty. How long will it take to kill such rounds of killing?"
Zhu Di's eyes lit up and hurriedly asked, "What does the master think should be done?"
Monk Daoyan glanced at the blade in his hand, and the blade suddenly exploded to pieces. "The rafters that come out rot first, Your Majesty might as well let all those who are full of Your Majesty jump out. Then do what needs to be done. Didn't those scholars like to accuse Your Majesty? Then Your Majesty simply ordered them to impeach the government and government, and those literati naturally thought that this was a shortcut to promotion, so let them jump out, and then let Your Majesty deal with them. ”
His face was strange, as if these words had no weight at all. "Kill a dozen at a time. It will make those scholars feel the majesty of His Majesty, and only kill him a hundred or a thousand at a time. If you kill all the soldiers in the world, they will honestly be obedient under Your Majesty's rule. Chivalry is forbidden by martial arts, but the literati talk nonsense with their mouths, but they have ruined the hearts of the people in the world, it is better to let them quiet down, and everyone must be clean. ”
Li Feng took a step back and stood with the kitten Mizumotoko. Zhang Yuyan can wait for a few important ministers to also move towards them*, this kind of decision-making thing, Zhang Yu, they know that they are not qualified to intervene, they are still fighting and acting, and their brains are not good at it. As for Li Feng, he has already taken on the reputation of a murderous demon king, and he is unwilling to carry a black cauldron with a black heart like ink.
Zhu Xi took a step forward, looked at the monk Daoyan a little puzzled, and asked: "What does the master think he should do after killing these scholars?
Monk Daoyan shook his head and said seriously: "The world's scholars are the most boring, they think that they have inherited the mighty and unyielding spirit of Confucianism, so as much as possible, some scholars will jump out one by one without fear of death and continue to insult Your Majesty." Is this murder just a current policy of subordination, and we must not let these rebellious articles of ours circulate and let the people of the world think that His Majesty is a tyrant, right? Kill a group of literati who take the lead first, but the rest of the people will have a frame for them to drill. ”
Zhu Di seemed to hear something, and hurriedly surrendered his hand: "Please also ask the master to guide this literati, there are few but many in the world." Without these literati, how would the people of the world be governed? But if they are allowed to wantonly criticize the government and discuss it, I myself will make the world unstable. ”
Monk Daoyan said slowly with a smile on his face: "This strategy is divided into three steps: one kills to establish authority, two to collect his heart, and three confusion to confuse his will." Three steps later, the poor monk ensured that there would be no more literati in the world of the Ming Dynasty to discuss the government. ”
Zhu Di and the others all looked at Monk Daoyan and waited to see how he killed, second, and third confused. Monk Daoyan smiled inscrutablely, a blue light flashed in his deep eyes, and he said softly: "The so-called killing is what Fang Cai has planned, let these scholars jump out first, and comment on the government wantonly, even if they directly attack His Majesty, let them accuse, that is, after March, they will be captured in one fell swoop, and the whole door will be copied and killed, and the chicken will be shown to the monkey, and it can be exchanged for a temporary peace." ”
"Erlong, I selected some talented and famous scholars from those scholars, but they were willing to listen to the orders of the imperial court, and let them sort out all the classics in history and named them "Yongle Dagong", and the subset of what scriptures and histories were screened and collected by them. This is a good deed that can be passed down through the ages, are you afraid that these scholars will be obedient? The matter of sorting out all the classics of the previous dynasty cannot be completed by them without more than ten years of effort. ”
"Hey, all the soldiers in the world are watching the progress of this ceremony. This is to lure people with fame, and they are not afraid that those literati will not be in the way. As long as they listen to His Majesty's call and begin to compile this book, and there is still time for them to criticize His Majesty? Your Majesty can also reward them with a few small officials. Hey!"
The people in the courtyard all showed a knowing look, this scholar, in addition to the real great sages and sages, there are a few who are eager to be famous? This sorting out all the classics of the previous dynasty is enough to be passed down for a hundred generations, and I am afraid that no one will not rush to do it, this can at least let hundreds of the most famous scribes honestly act as Zhu Di's watchdogs, do they still have time to scold Zhu Di? Plus a few inconsequential official positions as bait, I am afraid that they will be obedient and obedient. "The three confusions are that they have completely messed up the center of the world's scholars with their fame and wealth. Today's scholars. One by one, they read the scriptures and thought that they were talented and rich. It's a bunch of restless guys who like to point fingers at things in the world. Hehe, they are restless, so let them be in peace, Your Majesty. His Majesty simply changed the matter of the imperial examination completely, and all the six arts and the like were all dismissed, and the articles required by the rules formulated by His Majesty were specially examined. As long as the article is well written, he will be awarded fame and wealth. ”
"Your Majesty can also stipulate the scope of the scriptures for the examination, so that those literati can only read according to Your Majesty's wishes, and they will honestly read some classics that are loyal to the monarch and serve the country, where will they see those messy things? Read that vast subset of scriptures and histories? If you read fewer books, you will naturally have less thought in your head, and you will be afraid that they will talk nonsense?"
After the strong wind, my heart was in a cold sweat. He looked at the monk Daoyan with a little admiration, but he had a little admiration for him in his heart. This method is vicious: first kill a group of people and scare these literati into not daring to speak nonsense; then use realistic interests to buy a group of people, and then carry out a great project with a great workload and a reputation for eternity, which consumes the energy of some of the scholars and elites; and finally use the imperial examination system to break down the resistance of the scholars, forcing them to follow the direction divided by the imperial court, and after more than ten years, the people in the world will only devote themselves to studying and studying to test their fame, where will there be outstanding talents?
At that time, the test was not about your talent and morality, but whether your essay was done well or whether it was in line with the emperor's wishes, but with a slight knife, it killed all the blood of the world's scholars, and this set of three consecutive moves was really vicious and sharp to the extreme. I'm afraid that after all the scholars in the world have been castrated, they will be grateful to Zhu Di for his great kindness.
Zhang Yuxuan and others showed joy on their faces, and when Zhu Yuanzhang was there, the civil and military overwhelm had reached a very serious situation, and if the civil officials in the future were all incompetent, their generals would all come out. The kitten looked unmoved, as if he didn't understand the words of the monk Daoyan at all, and was squeezing his eyebrows and grimacing with Shui Yuanzi.
Zhu Xi applauded and praised: "The master is really a good plan, a good plan, a good calculation, and within three or five years, the will of the people in the world will be completely obedient." Save ......" The rest of the words, Zhu Xi glanced at Zhu Di and didn't dare to continue. He can't say that the people of the world are very dissatisfied with Zhu Di's 'usurpation', right?
Zhu Di closed his eyes with his hands behind his back and was silent for a long time, and then suddenly opened his eyes and asked: "If Xu Yi came to the world, the people of the world have become the appearance printed in a mold, can they still help me govern the world?
Monk Daoyan smiled and stepped forward three steps towards Zhu Di and saluted: "Your Majesty, do you think that the current officials in the world are not the same as those poured out of the same mold? Your Majesty, in fact, when they govern the world, they can use the scriptures? Reading is just to open up their wisdom, and in the future, as long as they become magistrates, they can enforce the law fairly, and the world will naturally be governed." ”
"As for the compilation of the canon, Your Majesty's martial arts are the only ones in the world, but Your Majesty doesn't want to leave some ......," Zhu Di clapped three times and said with a smile on his face: "Dao Yan really knows my intentions, so handle it accordingly." Tomorrow, you will convene the officials of the relevant important ministries to carry out this set of measures. Li Feng, you keep an eye on me, and in the future, among the three selfs, anyone who dares to accuse me of rebellion, hey. After three months, I raided their homes and destroyed their gates. Do they really think I can rule the world? I have to show them. ”
After a pause, Zhu Di hesitated a little: "That's all for this article." But there is another important thing on my mind, I wonder if you can share your worries about me?"
They hurriedly saluted and said, "This is the duty of the ministers, but according to His Majesty's orders, it is. ”
Zhu Di looked up at the sky and said, "Do you think this Ying Tianfu is better than Yanjing City?"
They looked at each other and couldn't figure it out. Zhu Di asked what he meant by this? Could it be that he disliked Ying Tianfu, so he wanted to move the capital to Yanjing City? This is a big deal. Hey, moving the capital, this is a matter that I don't know how much money it will cost, how many people in the world will be affected by food. Although in the past, Yanwangfu had built some palaces in Beiping, but if it is said that Yanjing City is the capital, Yanjing City is the scale. Not enough, right?
Zhu Xi asked slowly, "What does my father mean?"
Zhu Di said quickly: "Nowadays, there are Jurchen nomadic tribes in the northeast harassing in the north, and the remnants of the Mongolian party in the north are constantly intruding. Although there is Juyong Pass, which guards the key point of the Great Wall, the Great Wall has been damaged, and many places are not enough to resist the southward movement of the Tile Thorn. My meaning is to take Yanjing City as the capital, and change the name to Beiping to pacify the north. With the power of the whole country, I will destroy the last bit of Miao descendants of Yuanmeng, so that the country of the Ming Dynasty will be eternal forever. ”
The more Zhu Di spoke, the more excited he became. Striding up on the ground, walking around the yard a few times, Zhu Di stopped suddenly, and asked in a deep voice: "How about you wait?"
Li Feng is not stupid, so he will not interject on this kind of issue. If his opinion is correct, it is the duty of a courtier, and there is no merit. If his opinion is later proven to be wrong, it will be a serious crime. After all, your move to the capital will at least implicate the migration of tens of thousands of people, which is not a trivial matter. Li Feng pondered: "I'm just a general, and occasionally play the role of a dog-headed military advisor, this is a big strategy in the court, but I should talk a lot." ”
So Li Feng continued to take a step back very firmly, completely hiding his tall figure behind the kitten, and carefully began to count the question of how many yarns there were in the piece of fabric at the kitten's vest. Monk Daoyan saw Li Feng's move, and couldn't help but show a knowing smile towards Li Feng.
Zhang Yu shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, this Yanjing City is much better than Ying Tianfu." Yanjing City is the capital, and it is much more convenient to fight and send troops, where is it like in Yingtianfu, if you send troops from Yingtian, I am afraid that it will take a month on the road? Delaying the military plane is not a trivial matter. ”
Zhu Di smiled appreciatively. "Zhang Qing's family can consider this issue from the perspective of military affairs, and it is really heartfelt. What do you think?"
Zhu Xi looked at Zhu Di and said very simply: "Yanjing City is the former fief of the emperor, and the people deeply feel the favor of the emperor, if Yanjing City is the capital, I am afraid it is more suitable than Ying Tianfu." And the ministers secretly thought that the Tianfu was prosperous and prosperous, and the Beijing officials were afraid that it would not be easy to restrain their hearts, saying that they would not be tempted by foreign objects to do something that corrupted the dynasty. Yanjing City is located in a relatively remote place in the north, but it also forces the officials of the capital to be quiet and keep their hearts and manage state affairs well, which is also a great benefit. ”
Zhu Di was even more pleased, he nodded again and again and said: "Xu'er's recent knowledge has also grown, and I am very relieved...... Uh-huh, what do you think?"
Monk Daoyan said excitedly: "Moving the capital to Yanjing is a major event that is beneficial to the world. First, as General Zhang Yu said, you can guard the north and stabilize the world. Second, as His Highness said, it can facilitate the ministers to deal with the affairs of the world, and is not easy to be tempted by foreign things. But that's a great thing...... I'm afraid it's ......."
Zhu Di frowned slightly and asked, "What are you afraid of?"
Monk Daoyan looked at Zhu Di and said carefully: "However, those Wenchen are afraid that the ancestral family law cannot be changed arbitrarily...... This Ying Tianfu is the capital set by Emperor Taizu, if he wants to move the capital, I am afraid that those ministers will be the first to refuse. Your Majesty is the first to ascend to the throne, I'm afraid you can't be too strict with them yet, hehe, hehe, I'm afraid that the matter of moving the capital can only be talked about on paper, and the capital can't really be moved over?"
There was a loud bang, and the people in the courtyard were startled, but Zhu Di heard the word ancestral family law, and immediately smashed several large stones on the steps of the door with a hideous palm. The fierce light in his eyes flashed, and he said coldly: "Hey, if it weren't for the ancestral family law, where would Zhu Yunwen ascend the throne three years ago?"
