"Your Majesty, Tao Yunzhi of Wuqing Zhi County came to report that the Wang Tai family, their villagers, and domestic slaves who rebelled and rebelled were all executed."
Xiong Tingbi reported to Zhu Youxiao."
I see."
Zhu Youxiao replied while reviewing the song, and then said: "You give the ministry a message, let them transfer Tao Yunzhi to a state and county with more gentry to continue to serve as a county official, and Wuqing County will choose other counties to come, which can be regarded as giving Tao Yunzhi a chance to prove himself, if his experience as an official in Wuqing County cannot help him control the local squires in other states and counties, but loses to the gentry again, it can only mean that he is a mediocre talent, and he will be transferred to an idle position such as a professor of government studies!"
”"Yes!"
Xiong Tingbi hurriedly replied.Then, Zhu Youxiao pointed to Xiong Tingbi and pointed to the one-foot-high notebook piled up in front of him, and said: "This is the criminal notebook sent to the provinces last month, and I found that it is all due to the implementation of the new policy of all kinds of life lawsuits, among them, there are many cases of assassination of local officials such as political envoys and envoys, such as Tianjin Feng Jinglun, Feng Shengshi and his son, and Wuqing Wang Tai and other gentry who committed evil are not isolated cases that happened by chance, but are just a few examples of various murders that occurred on a large scale after the implementation of the new policy. ”Xiong Tingbi heard Zhu Youxiao say this, and also said with a solemn expression: "What Your Majesty said is that this is indeed not an example, the world is declining, the people's hearts are not ancient, even if they read the book of the sage, most of them will use it for personal gain, to enrich their own bodies, and now the imperial court is the long-term stability of the society, and has no choice but to implement a new policy, clear the acres of land, spread the land into the acres, and return the fire to the public, and the loss is surplus to make up for the shortage, and the industrial and commercial industry is greatly promoted to support the rest of the people, but this also makes Haoqiang can not accumulate slaves for profit, and even controlled by the imperial court, and not free; These gentry and powerful people will inevitably be dissatisfied with the New Deal, and do despicable and even heinous things; However, the minister believes that in order to avoid the ruin of the country after two or three hundred years of rule like the previous dynasties, even if the gentry and the powerful do not hesitate to use the scourge of extermination, and even do not hesitate to use all kinds of cruel and inhumane means, the politicians cannot compromise, otherwise they will lose their previous achievements, and the society will still be difficult to protect!
”Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly, and said: "I am not resigned because of the fierce resistance of the local gentry to the implementation of the new policy, but I feel that according to the current situation, although I have the assistance of all Aiqing, the new policy has been forcibly implemented, and even has been successfully implemented in many provinces, but it will inevitably cause the local gentry who oppose the new policy, and some extremists will take extreme measures to deal with me, and it is not a pity for me to die alone, the question is, if I die, will people die in the government, and even because of the new policy I have carried out, the turmoil in the world will intensify?"
”Xiong Tingbi originally heard the emperor say that there might be extreme opponents who would assassinate the emperor at all costs, and thought that the emperor would be afraid that he would be assassinated by extremists, but he didn't expect the emperor to say that "it's not a pity for me to die alone."
This made Xiong Tingbi secretly sigh that his majesty's will was really strong, and he did not choose to retreat because of the great resistance to reform and even the danger of life and safety like most emperors of previous dynasties who were on the throne.In Xiong Tingbi's view, not everyone can die outside the degree, and the more noble and wealthy people are, the more difficult it is to do it.Xiong Tingbi was quite worried that His Majesty the Emperor would choose to retreat at some point like Jiajing and Wanli, so he took the initiative to say that politicians cannot compromise just now.But Xiong Tingbi now has no such worries, and he admires his Emperor His Majesty Zhu Youxiao even more."
It's rare for my emperor to be so tenacious!"
Xiong Tingbi thought so in his heart.Then, Xiong Tingbi hurriedly said: "In the opinion of the ministers, the new policy of His Majesty is in line with the sky, the wish of the people, and the trend of the times. ”After hearing Xiong Tingbi say this, Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "Aiqing is the person who dared to go to Dongyu alone to plunder the land back then, and his will is really tenacious!"
In my opinion, even if I make a new policy, it will be nothing if people will die and even the turmoil will increase in the future, because it is certain that if I don't do this, the world will only get worse, in that case, if I don't die, then I will be the king of the country, and if I die, then I will be the king of the country in the future!
Because, the Ming Dynasty has accumulated a lot of weight, and it has already reached the time when the country is about to die!
Perhaps for many people, it doesn't matter if the world is the world of my Zhu family, the matter of changing the dynasty, throughout the history books, abounds, those who are officials will still be officials, and those who study will still be scholars; But sometimes, changing the dynasty is not as simple as dying the country, but dying the world!
Die to my Han family in the world!
At that time, everyone in the Han people will be slaves, and even want to be slaves but can't!
I have a hunch that if the Ming Dynasty really does not reform, the Han family will die at the hands of foreign races in the future!
Because of my Chinese land, the hearts of the people have long been uneven, even if the world's corporal doctors who are familiar with the books of sages and sages, most of them only know that there is a family, but they do not know that there is a country!
There is nothing these people can do about it!
The gentry Feng and Wang families I met on the way back to the north recently can be seen!
”"Death of the country and death of the world!"
After listening to Zhu Youxiao's remarks, Xiong Tingbi couldn't help but be enlightened.Zhu Youxiao said this remark based on his understanding of the history of later generations, and believed that if the Ming Dynasty did not change, the Ming Dynasty would be difficult to avoid the fate of the second death, and even the death of not only the Ming Empire of the Zhu family, but also the entire Han family, after all, it was indeed the Manchu Qing Dynasty who entered the Central Plains in history, forcing the Han family to disappear in Shenzhou for nearly three hundred years.Xiong Tingbi has been in Liaodong for a long time, and has been fighting against Jiannu for a long time, and knows Jiannu better than almost all the rulers of this era, except for Zhu Youxiao from later generations.Therefore, Xiong Tingbi knew that Jiannu was different from ordinary Hulu, knew that Nurhachi and his Eight Banners had a strong degree of organization and had their own basic agricultural base, and as a member of the civil officials and doctors, he also knew what most of the people in the civil officials and doctors class were.Therefore, when Zhu Youxiao said that if the Ming Dynasty died, it might not only be the death of the country but the world, and the entire Han family was stolen by Hu Lu, he did not feel that what the emperor said was ridiculous, but felt that what the emperor said was very likely, and even a worry that he had been hiding in his heart."
Your Majesty is very true!
It is a pity that in today's world, there are very few people who can see this, and after the minister in Salhu, he realized that the Donglu is different from other Hulu, and may be a strong enemy of our Ming Dynasty in the future, if it is regarded as an ordinary Hulu, it will only suffer more losses, and the risk of losing all the foreign lands, and in addition to the hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China, there are many people who form parties and run private interests, and there are few people who strategize, there will inevitably be internal turmoil. ”Xiong Tingbi agreed.Then, Xiong Tingbi said: "Fortunately, Your Majesty Shengming, even if the officials flocked to impeach the minister's strategy back then, His Majesty still supports the minister's Liaodong strategy, so that the Eastern Captives can no longer enter the size of the land in Liaodong!"
And His Majesty has accumulated a vast treasury internally and fed countless displaced people, so that internal troubles will not be born, and now the Ming Dynasty can still be so peaceful!
”"So, I haven't done anything wrong now, even if this will cause someone to still dare to get rid of me at the expense of the Nine Clans, I still have to do this, this is the only way for me to save the country and save the world and save myself, even if I fail, I will just die in the hands of my own people, it is better than hanging myself or dying outside the fortress due to the invasion of foreign captives in the future!"
Zhu Youxiao said and said: "But you can't be careless, in Aiqing's opinion, if someone wants to assassinate me, what means will they take?"
”Xiong Tingbi heard Zhu Youxiao ask this, and couldn't help but think about it seriously, he knew that the emperor's worries were reasonable, and no one could guarantee that those gentry who had been robbed of their interests would not take risks and directly use extreme means to kill the king.And the ministers who want the emperor to continue to reform must find a way to avoid this kind of thing, because if the emperor is really killed, they will not end well, not only will their interests be taken away, but even their lives and reputation will be difficult to protect.
