Chapter 217: The Monarch's Plan (I)


As soon as they returned to Zhu Xi's mansion, Li Feng and the others were immediately recruited back to the palace by the eunuchs of the forbidden palace.

In the courtyard outside Zhu Di's dormitory, Zhu Di changed into a purple military robe, stood on the steps with his hands behind his back, and stared blankly at a few big trees in the courtyard.

Monk Daoyan had already come, standing solemnly under a big tree, looking up at the dark sky through the gap in the branches.

The last yellow leaf fell from the treetops, and Zhu Di suddenly said: "You guys are here, there are a few articles here, 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 suddenly separated when they were still two feet away, and just happened to have a copy 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, these names, it seems that I have also heard of them, they are all famous literati today, aren't they afraid of the whole family beheading?"

Li Feng looked at Zhu Di very strangely, and Zhu Xi and the others 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, as if this person killed the whole family of the person who wrote the article, and almost cried bitterly and asked the world to kill this person together." ” Zhu Di's face was full of hideousness, and he said in a deep voice: "These articles are all secretly scolded by people in the world.

Good writers, reading their articles, they are all talented and learned, but one by one, if I am not as good as Zhu Yunwen, I can't be a good emperor, according to the names on the list, I arrested them all and killed them, just say that they slandered the government, damn it, by the way, they also wiped out their nine clans, saving some rebellious roots. ” Isn't it just to kill a few people, the brocade guards of the Ming Dynasty kill more people every day, and Li Feng did not hesitate, and directly agreed.

The monk next to him, Dao Yan, laughed softly, and with a flick of his fingers, a yellow leaf on the ground was stirred up by the soft force and floated into his hand.

With a look of extremely compassionate compassion, Monk Daoyan still said in his unique feminine voice: "Your Majesty, this time to kill these fifteen people, there are still so many scholars in the world, they will still have people who are not afraid of death to jump out and scold Your Majesty."

After such a round of killing, how long will it take to kill it cleanly?"

Zhu Di's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked: "What does the master think should be done?"

Monk Daoyan glanced at the blade in his hand, and the blade suddenly exploded into smithereens.

"The rafters rot first, Your Majesty might as well let all those who are dissatisfied with Your Majesty jump out, and then do what needs to be done.

Don't those scholars like to accuse Your Majesty, then Your Majesty simply issued an order and asked them to impeach the government, that is, those literati naturally thought that this was a shortcut to promotion, so let them jump out, and afterwards, it was up to Your Majesty to deal with them. ” His face was strange, as if these words had no weight at all.

"Killing a dozen at a time will not make those scholars feel the majesty of His Majesty, only by killing him a hundred, a thousand, and killing all the soldiers in the world are afraid, they will honestly be obedient to the people under His Majesty's rule.

Chivalry violates the ban with martial arts, and the scholars, who talk nonsense with one mouth, have ruined the hearts of the people in the world, it is better to let them calm down, everyone has to be clean. ” Li Feng took a step back and stood with Kitten and Mizumotoko.

Zhang Yu, Gan Neng and several other important ministers also leaned towards Li Feng and them, this kind of decision-making thing, Zhang Yu and they knew that they were not qualified to intervene, they were okay to fight, but they were not good at using their brains.

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 with a little puzzlement and asked: "That master thinks that after killing these scholars, how to kill them, will the heavenly students be afraid?"

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 many scholars as possible will not be afraid of death, and one by one they will jump out and continue to insult Your Majesty."

Is this murder just a current policy of subordination, and it is impossible to let these rebellious articles of their be circulated, so that the people of the world think that His Majesty is a tyrant, so let's kill a group of leading literati first, and the rest of the people will have a frame for them to drill. ” Zhu Di seemed to hear something, and hurriedly handed it over: "Please also ask the master for guidance, this literati is rare in the world, but there are also many of them."

Without these literati, how to govern the people of the world, but allowing them to wantonly criticize the government and talk about me will also make the world unstable. ” The monk Daoyan swallowed slowly, and said with a smile on his face: "This strategy, it is divided into three steps, one kill, to establish authority; two cages to collect their hearts; Three confusions, in order to mess with their ambitions.

After three steps, the poor monk assured that in the world of the Ming Dynasty, there would be no more literati sub-meetings to discuss the government. ” Zhu Di and the others all looked at Monk Daoyan, waiting to see how he killed, two cages, and three puzzles.

Monk Daoyan smiled inscrutablely, a blue light flashed in his deep eyes, and he said softly: "The so-called one kill, it is what Fang Cai has planned, let these scholars jump out and comment on the government and politics wantonly, even if they directly attack His Majesty, let them accuse, after March, they will be captured in one fell swoop, all over the house will be beheaded, and the chickens will be killed to show the monkeys, and you can exchange for a temporary peace." ” "Erlong, just select some talented and famous scholars from those scholars, but are willing to listen to the orders of the imperial court, let them sort out all the classics in history, and name them Yongle Dadian, and any subsets of scriptures and histories will be screened and collected by them.

This is a good deed that can be passed down through the ages, and I am afraid that these scholars will not be obedient to sort out all the classics of the previous dynasty, without more than ten years of hard work, they will not be able to complete it. ” "Hey, all the scholars in the world are watching the progress of this ceremony, this is to lure it with fame, and I am not afraid that those literati will not be in the ranks.

As long as they listen to His Majesty's call and start compiling this classic, and when they publish articles criticizing Your 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 not eager to be famous, this is to sort out all the classics of the previous dynasty, but it is enough to be famous for a hundred years, I am not afraid that no one will not compete to do it, this can at least let hundreds of the most famous scribes honestly act as Zhu Di's watchdogs, they still have time to scold Zhu Di plus a few irrelevant official positions as bait, not afraid that they will not be obedient.

"Three confusions, that is, the complete use of merit, fame, wealth and wealth to mess up the hearts of the world's scholars.

Today's scholars, who are full of scriptures and books, think that they are talented and rich, and they are all a group of restless guys who like to point fingers at things in the world.

Hehe, they are restless, then Your Majesty will let them settle down.

His Majesty simply changed the matter of this imperial examination completely, and all the six arts and the like were dismissed, and the articles required by the rules formulated by His Majesty were specially examined, and as long as the articles were well written, he was 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, they will honestly read some classics that are loyal to the monarch and serve the country, where will they see those messy things and wait for a few years, the scholars of the world can see that they can easily become officials according to such a method, who will go to the cold window for ten years, read less books in the vast subset of scriptures and histories, and naturally spend less time in their heads, are you afraid that they will talk nonsense?"

After Li Feng, his heart was in a cold sweat, he looked at Monk Daoyan with a little admiration, and he had a little admiration for him in his heart.

This method is vicious, kill a group first, and scare these literati into not daring to talk nonsense; then use the interests of reality to buy a batch, and then a great project with a great workload for the ages, consuming the energy of a part of the scholar elite; In the end, the imperial examination system was used to break the resistance of the scholars, forcing them to follow the direction divided by the imperial court At that time, the test was not about your talent and morality, or whether your article was good or not, whether it was in line with the emperor's wishes, and with a light knife, but it killed all the blood of the world's scholars.

I'm afraid that after all the soldiers in the world are castrated, I will be grateful to Zhu Di for his great kindness.

Zhang Yu, Qian Neng and others showed joy on their faces, when Zhu Yuanzhang was there, the civil and military dumping had reached a very serious situation, 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 making a grimace with Shui Yuanzi squeezing his eyebrows there.

Zhu Xi applauded and praised: "The master is really a good plan, a good plan, if you calculate it, within three or five years, the people of 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 compilation Zhu Di put his hands behind his back, closed his eyes and was silent for a long time, and then suddenly opened his eyes and asked: "If Xu comes, the people of the world have become the appearance printed in a mold, can they still help me govern the world, and how much does it cost to compile all the classics, but is it worth it?"

Monk Daoyan smiled and took three steps forward, and saluted Zhu Di: "Your Majesty thinks that the officials in the world now are not the same as those poured out of the same mold, in fact, when they govern the world, they can use the things in the scriptures to read, but it is to open their wisdom, and then they will become magistrates, as long as they are not stupid to the extreme, they can enforce the law fairly, and the world will naturally have to be governed." ” "As for the compilation of the canon, Your Majesty, Wenzhi martial arts, your martial arts are the only ones in the world, but Your Majesty doesn't want to leave some" Zhu Di applauded three times, and said with a smile on his face: "Dao Yan really knows my intentions, so let's do it according to this."

Clearly, you will convene the officials of the relevant ministries and implement this set of measures.

Li Feng, you keep an eye on me, in the next three months, anyone who dares to accuse me of rebellion, hey, after three months, I raided their homes and destroyed their doors, look at these people still dare to accuse me of whether it is true, do they really think that I can't govern the world well, I have to show them. ” After a pause, Zhu Di ordered with some hesitation: "That's all for this article."

But I still have a big thing on my mind, I don't know if you can share my worries."

They hurriedly saluted and said respectfully: "This is the duty of the ministers, but according to His Majesty's orders. ” Zhu Di looked up at the sky and said, "You guys think that compared with Tianfu and Yanjing City, which city is better?"

Li Feng They looked at each other, confused, Zhu Di asked what he meant by this, could it be that he disliked Ying Tianfu badly, so it is a big deal to move the capital to Yanjing City, move the capital, hey, this is a matter that I don't know how much food it will cost and how many people in the world will be affected.

Although Yanwangfu had built some palaces in Beiping in the past, if Yanjing City was designated as the capital, the scale of Yanjing City was not enough Zhu Xi asked slowly: "What does the father mean?"

Zhu Di said quickly: "Now the northern Xinjiang is restless, there are Jurchen nomadic tribes in the northeast, and there are Mongolian remnants in the north who are constantly invading.

Although there is Juyong Pass to guard the important point of the Great Wall, the Great Wall has been damaged, and in many places, it is not enough to resist the southward movement of Warat.

What I mean is to take Yanjing City as the capital, change the name to Beiping, take the meaning of pacifying the north, and use the power of the whole country to destroy the last bit of Miao descendants of Yuanmeng, so that the country of the Ming Dynasty will be forever. ” The more Zhu Di spoke, the more excited he became, he strode up on the ground, walked around the yard a few times, Zhu Di stopped suddenly, and asked in a deep voice: "How do 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 the courtier, and there is no merit.

If his opinion is later proven to be wrong, it will be a serious crime.

After all, if you move the capital, you will at least implicate the migration of tens of thousands of people, which is not a trivial matter.

Li Feng thought: "I'm just a military general, and I occasionally play the role of a dog-headed military advisor, and this big strategy formulation in the court is not the time when I should talk too much." ” Therefore, 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."

If Yanjing City is the capital, it is much more convenient to send troops to war, where is it like in Yingtianfu, if you send troops from Yingtian, I am afraid that it will take a month to delay the military plane on the road, which 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 fief of the father and emperor in the past, and the people deeply feel the favor of their father.

And the ministers secretly thought that the Tianfu should be prosperous, and the Beijing officials were here, so I was afraid that it would not be easy to restrain their hearts, and 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 take care of state affairs, which is also a great benefit. ” Zhu Di was even more happy, he nodded again and again and said: "Xu'er's recent knowledge has also grown, I am very relieved, hey, if it's um, um, it's okay, Daoyan, 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 they are not easily tempted by foreign objects.

It's a great thing, but I'm afraid it is."

Zhu Di frowned slightly and asked, "What are you afraid of?"

Monk Daoyan looked at Zhu Di and said cautiously: "However, those group of Wenchen, I am afraid that the ancestral family law cannot be changed indiscriminately, this Ying Tianfu is the capital set by Emperor Taizu, if you want to move the capital, I am afraid that those Wenchen will be the first to refuse to agree."

Your Majesty has first ascended to the throne, I'm afraid I can't be too strict with them, in a short period of time, 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 it was Zhu Di who 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 flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "It's the ancestral family law again, hey, if it weren't for the ancestral family law, where would it take so much effort to get Zhu Yunwen to ascend the throne three years ago?"
