In Gaizhou, the original guard office has been renovated.
Lu Xiangsheng is looking at Zhu Youxiao's letter and thinking deeply.
Last time, Lu Xiangsheng not only reported everything he encountered after arriving in Liaodong, he also wrote a private letter to express his views on the matter of Xu Mingsheng and Xu Dajin.
He believed that Xu Dajin, as a former official, neither resisted nor committed suicide after Hou Jin occupied Haizhou, which was a real disgrace to the court.
Xu Mingsheng also said that he believed that the court was at fault and was unwilling to leave.
He felt that Xu Mingsheng was ignorant of the general situation and did not follow the arrangements.
This kind of person should also be despised.
But Zhu Youxiao obviously didn't think so.
He wrote a special letter.
Although it was also brought by Li Chaoqin, it could not be regarded as an imperial edict.
Because it says Lu Xiaotian received it on the envelope.
"Xiao Tian: I felt something about what you said in your letter after reading it, so I wrote a letter to explain my views instead of using an imperial edict or oral instructions."
"As for Xu Dajin and Xu Mingsheng, I think both of them should be blamed, but I feel that what Xu Dajin did is understandable, and what Xu Mingsheng said is reasonable."
"First of all, let's talk about Xu Dajin's affairs.
There is a saying that he is not in his position and does not seek political affairs.
Xu Dajin was retiring from the county magistrate.
He had no position, no power, and no responsibility to defend the land.
When the slaves came, how could he resist and even commit suicide?
, he didn’t do anything wrong, why did he commit suicide?”
"Of course, I thought he should commit suicide because he had been a court official and was born in Juzi himself.
After reading the sages' books, I felt that there was nothing in the sages' books that said that everyone who occupied the territory occupied by the enemy should commit suicide. , if they all committed suicide, there would be no one in China during the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.”
"Let's talk about Xu Mingsheng again.
Xu Mingsheng's words deeply touched my heart.
What is a country?
A country is a collective body.
Everyone has their own responsibilities.
If he serves the people, he should pay taxes, and my court has collected his taxes.
Taxes have the responsibility to protect him.”
"Xu Mingsheng is not wrong.
He paid taxes to the court.
Now the court has lost Liaodong.
It was not him who lost Liaodong.
The fault was originally with the court.
Of course he can hold the court accountable.
Just like what you want to buy with money, money is spent.
If you go out and don’t get the things, of course it’s not okay.
Whose fault is it?
Of course it’s not you, it’s the merchant who sold the things.”
"The relationship between Xu Mingsheng and the imperial court is like this.
Xu Mingsheng paid taxes, so he bought his own security guarantee.
If the imperial court lost Liaodong, it means that the imperial court failed to fulfill its responsibilities, and it is the imperial court's fault.
Of course he can not hold the imperial court accountable.
Wrong, but he can and has the right to hold the court accountable for failing to fulfill its duty to protect him.”
"Lu Qing will be surprised when he reads these words.
Yes, that's not what the book you read says.

Especially since I, as the emperor, actually encourage others to seek accountability from the imperial court, aren't you making yourself uncomfortable?"
I feel that I must be possessed and talking nonsense here, but I tell you, I am very sober.”
"There are a lot of unfairness in this world.
When you see unfairness, you will think of changing it.
But there are some unfairnesses that you don't think are unfair.
You think they are normal.
But this is actually the unfairness.
The biggest injustice.”
"For example, Xu Mingsheng just said such a sentence.
Even Lu Qing, who has always been open-minded and kind-hearted, felt that he had slandered the court and offended me, but he never thought about whether what he said was right."
"This is a private letter.
I am willing to tell Lu Qing some of my innermost thoughts.
If I said these words publicly, almost everyone would think that I am crazy, but for some reason, I don't think Lu Qing would think so."
"I heard a saying a long time ago that the emperor represents the herdsmen.
Since they are herdsmen, when the people have no food, the emperor should tell them where to find food and how to find food.
If the people are still hungry, then It was the emperor's fault.
When the people were threatened by the cold, the emperor should instruct them to weave and make clothes to resist the cold.
If the people still suffered from the cold, it was also the emperor's fault.
Then of course it was the emperor's fault that the Liao people were enslaved and even killed by the slaves.
The emperor’s fault.”
"I once had a dream.
In the dream, my Ming Dynasty was full of refugees and thieves.
The rebels captured the capital, and the emperor had no choice but to hang himself on Jingshan Mountain.
Then he built slaves and entered the pass.
He defeated the rebels and occupied the capital.
The beautiful country of the Ming Dynasty.
This dream seems to have made me unable to calm down for a long time.
I don’t want my country of Han people to fall to the barbarians, and I don’t want China to fall into hell, so I want to rise up and revitalize the Ming Dynasty.”
"In my dream, many ministers surrendered to the slaves, and many people also changed their hair and clothes obediently.
I thought, why did they surrender to the barbarians?
Why didn't they resist desperately for this nation and this country?
I’ve been thinking about this issue for a long, long time.”
"At first, I also felt that they surrendered and became slaves because they were of low character and did not love China and the Ming Dynasty enough.
I just wanted to kill or depose all these people so that the Ming Dynasty could last forever. ” "But after I thought about it for a while, I felt that it was not possible to just blame them.
We only thought about what we wanted them to do for the court, but we never thought about what the court did for them."
"The Han people in Shenyang and Liaoyang welcomed Jiannu into the city.
I couldn't understand it.
Later I asked Fang Shoufu, Xu Shangshu, Wang Jinglue, Master Zhao, and Yang Qianhu.
Except for Fang Shoufu, everyone else thought it was because of the Liao people's suffering.
The exploitation was too severe, so he left the court and turned to Jiannu."
"I therefore feel that they would rather shave their heads and change clothes than surrender and become slaves.
That is because the Ming Dynasty treated them badly, which caused them to have no sense of belonging to the Ming Dynasty.
I just blame them.
That is unfair.
At the same time, I must reflect on the court's behavior. ” "I have heard a saying before: Don't ask what your country can do for you, but ask what you can do for your country.

This sentence sounds very reasonable at first, but if you think about it carefully, In fact, it is wrong.
First, the country can protect the people and provide them with a fair environment, so that the people will support the country and think about doing something for the country. " "I only thought about my subjects being loyal to you and dying for you, but I never thought about making my subjects live a richer and more dignified life.
When they are wronged, they have a place to speak out, so I founded a weekly newspaper.
When they are hungry and cold In times of hardship, we can have a place to provide them with food and clothing, so I have strengthened the management of Yangjiyuan, Huimin Pharmacy, Luzeyuan and other places.”
"But is this enough?
Not enough.
It is far from enough.
I feel that in order for the people to have a sense of identity with the nation, the country, and the court, they must first feel that this nation, this country, and this court belong to them, not to them.
What belongs to me is not just the ministers’, it must belong to them
