At this point, the Tongzhou Rebellion was put down in a very short time.The main culprit, Gui Zhong, was escorted back to the capital.Emperor Zhu Youxiao soon learned of this news, and even knew the details of the entire counterinsurgency process.However, Zhu Youxiao already knew that Hua Yuncheng would do this.Otherwise, he would not have directly used Hua Yuncheng when discussing this matter at that time."
Hua Yuncheng did not disappoint me, but these rebellious hired workers did disappoint me, they are still the same as those troublemakers in the history books, they are easy to be bought, disintegrated, easy to betray the heroes who came out for them, if they want to fully awaken, there is still a long way to go, and I, the emperor, have to continue to be autocratic, because no one wants them to be educated more than me, and I hope that the wisdom of the people can be opened!"
Zhu Youxiao said in his heart because of this.And he was right.A good emperor and his ministers will do their best to give his people a good life without questioning the legitimacy of their rule, and at the same time they will do their best to paralyze the spirit of the people and make them as ignorant as possible.But Zhu Youxiao is a person from later generations, with a sense of national responsibility on his shoulders and values after receiving more than ten years of modern education in later generations.Therefore, he hopes that the Chinese people in this world can be more intelligent."
Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, the rest of the people who participated in the rebellion can be regarded as being bewitched and coerced, but Gui Zhong did organize a rebellion, and he should be punished with Ling Chi and exterminated the nine clans, so as to maintain the law of the emperor!"
In such a major case as human life and rebellion, Zhu Youxue directly summoned the main officials of the Three Law Divisions and the important ministers of the Cabinet, the Privy Council, and the Political Affairs Hall to discuss how to execute them in order to show justice.Therefore, when it came to how to execute Gui Zhong's treason, Liu Zongzhou, the secretary of the Criminal Department, directly put forward his own views."
Since it should be like this, if you make a mistake, you should also deal with it according to the law!
In addition, in the opinion of the ministers, it should not only be dealt with according to the law, but also dealt with strictly, and spread the head to the major government-run factories, so that no one in the world dares to maliciously ask for wages!
No one dares to organize the people to make trouble anymore!
”Zuodu Yushi Min Hongxue also echoed and said.Zhang Jie, the secretary of Dali Temple, also said: "Not only should the head be passed on, but the person and the nine clans should be late in Tianjin New Town, the place where I have the most official employees in the Ming Dynasty, and execute them, so that the hired workers can know all the malicious disrupting of the government-run industrial operations, even if they don't expect the people to thank the emperor, they should also make the world's employees afraid of power and know the fun!"
”Zhu Youxiao nodded accordingly.From the perspective of the general public, he actually admires Gui Zhong, a person who dares to stand up for the people because of injustice, and even sympathizes with him.But Zhu Youxiao had to admit that Gui Zhong had indeed rebelled.It was impossible for his courtiers to sympathize with a rebel, especially one who was from a low background and was implicated in the beheading of a civil official.Moreover, because Zhu Youxiao is the emperor.Therefore, the more loyal the courtiers are to Zhu Youxiao, the less they will spare Gui Zhong, let alone pity him."
Hua Aiqing, what do you think about this?"
Zhu Youxiao asked at this time.Hua Yuncheng has become the auxiliary minister of the political affairs hall, so at this moment, Hua Yuncheng is also here.And Hua Yuncheng also supported the capital punishment of Gui Zhong at the beginning.When Zhu Youxiao asked him, he replied: "Your Majesty, Gui Zhong is the first employee of the dynasty, and if there are many hired workers today, there are more than 3 million employees in the official industry of the Beijing Division, they are more organized than the villagers, and master more skills, the literacy rate is also higher, and the knowledge is more, once they do not obey the control, they have a great impact on the country, so the minister thinks that they should be punished with capital punishment!"
Fears the wreckage of the world!
It is better to swallow your anger and lose some of the arrears of wages than to make trouble and damage the court. ”"That's right, I'd rather bend to hire workers than damage official interests, and the emperor's national law can't be messed up!"
Min Hongxue echoed."
The princes and princes will be rebellious, and they all need to be severely punished, not to mention the common people, please ask Your Majesty to issue a decree to severely punish the rebel Gui Zhong!"
Zhang Jie continued."
Your Majesty, please give a decree!"
The rest of the ministers chimed in."
However, Dongchang has found out that Gui Zhong has no relatives and relatives, he is a widower, and there are no nine clans, so he will give him a delay and retreat!"
Zhu Youxiao had to admit that he was the emperor after all, and it was impossible for him to destroy the imperial law used to maintain his rule for the sake of a person who rebelled against him.Therefore, he granted the minister's request.But Zhu Youxiao couldn't be happy in his heart."
Why is Your Majesty worried?"
In the evening, after Zhu Youxiao slept with the queen, the queen asked.Zhu Youxiao said: "I have to give permission to severely punish a person who dares to stand up for the people today!"
This is not conducive to the development of the entire Chinese nation, I can't betray my role in the end, once I betray, it will be even more chaotic. ”"Your Majesty is worried that there will be no traitors in the world in the future?"
The queen smiled, looked at Zhu Youxiao affectionately, and asked."
It's not, throughout the ages, there have been a lot of brutal suppression of the rebel people, but I haven't seen no people revolt, it's just that I am a different emperor after all."
Zhu Youxiao said: "Spread that Wei Zhongxian came to see me!"
”Not long after, Wei Zhongxian came to Zhu Youxiao: "Emperor!
”Zhu Youxiao instructed Wei Zhongxian: "That Gui Zhong don't let him live past tonight!"
”"Yes!"
Wei Zhongxian retreated, and was surprised by this.He had to admit that his emperor was really different, and he was not merciful to the powerful officials and gentry who committed crimes, and sometimes he felt that he was too ruthless; But it is surprisingly merciful to the common people, millions of displaced people because of their return to a stable life, not to mention, until now the entire Ming Dynasty has no servitude, and even the folk baby girls are personally cared for, directly and strictly require that they must not be abandoned and drowned by their parents, and the parents of the offender are killed with a cane, and the local magistrate of the abandoned infant case is guilty of negligence, and it is also stipulated that women shall not be bound to their feet, and the parents of the offender are exiled.Now let himself get rid of Gui Zhong in advance.Wei Zhongxian can therefore be sure that his own emperor is not really a person who is extremely selfish in his heart.After all, an emperor is so lenient to the common people, let alone the people around him.As long as you follow the rules, you can still do it well."
Gui Zhong, this poison is very toxic, you will be very painful after eating it, but it is also very fast, so that you don't have to suffer from Ling Chi a few days later, you bear with it, afterwards, even the most powerful trick will not be able to see the clue, this is Your Majesty's will, take him."
Wei Zhongxian said to Gui Zhong.Gui Zhong was a little surprised, but he also understood the emperor's kindness, so he took the poison: "Please thank the emperor for me!"
The emperor is always a good emperor, but unfortunately, others may not be good people. ”Gui Zhong said that he took the poison and went down."
If you're dead, you're dead, it's unrealistic to want to deter millions of hired workers by chopping off a thief, although my Chinese Han people have a lot of soft bones, but there is no shortage of people with hard bones and blood!"
Zhu Youxiao, who was in the political affairs hall, said this after learning that Gui Zhong had died suddenly in the Dongchang prison.Then, Zhu Youxiao said to Yuan Keli: "If you want the people to use the law, you still have to strengthen education!"
”"Your Majesty!
This is nothing, the most urgent thing now is that the reward after the extermination of the Eastern Captives has not yet been dealt with, in addition, whether the Tatars allied with the Eastern Captives will also use troops against them, in the opinion of the ministers, they should make a decision as soon as possible!
”Yuan Keli replied.After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao said: "Aiqing is the chief auxiliary minister of the political affairs hall, so he and Zhu Xieyuan of the Privy Council began to preside over a court meeting to discuss these two matters. ”"Yes!"
So, Yuan Keli and Zhu Xieyuan presided over such a court meeting.After the beginning of this court meeting, the first thing the ministers disputed was the question of whether to crown a few hereditary lords in the war of pacifying the Eastern Prisoners.Being a marquis because of his military exploits, whether it is a civil servant or a military general, is the supreme glory.However, there is no shortage of dovish ministers in any era.After all, there will always be people who are not interested in military wars, but care more about the national economy."
Dongyu is just a rebellious captive with more power in the borderlands, and it is not a great achievement to destroy it!
Can it be compared to the merit of the founding of the country and the merit of appeasement?
Therefore, in the opinion of the ministers, there is no need to be knighted, but it is enough to slightly seal a few meritorious people to hereditary brocade guards!
”At this time, like Bi Ziyan, Li Guopu, a cabinet minister who was promoted because of his relatively strong ability in government affairs, bluntly expressed that he did not attach importance to the extermination of the Eastern Prisoners.In addition, the king of Nengchen, who was good at logistics and scheduling, did not approve of the imperial court launching another war against the forces of the Tatars, i.e., Lin Dan Khan.Naturally, he was not motivated by selfish motives, but his political ideas made him feel that war was not something worth advocating, because his practical experience had taught him that war was really costing the people and money.Therefore, Wang Zaijin also said at this court meeting: "In the opinion of the ministers, it is unwise to stop the dispute between the two countries by killing, it will only cost the people and money, and even increase hatred, it is better to use morality to influence it!"
Treat each other with courtesy, so that they will be obedient from the heart. ”"If morality can influence Hu Lu, why should the town send border troops to guard it, it is better to send a group of respected Confucians to guard it!
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Let these great Confucians influence them, I want to ask, is this useful, do you really want the imperial court to try this?
”Sun Chuanting, who has returned to Beijing to serve as the secretary of the military department and is considered a hawk, expressed his objections to this and asked."
Servant has to say a fair word for the Ming soldiers who died at the hands of the Donglu and the people who were slaughtered by the Dongyu since the Battle of Salhu, maybe some people think that the imperial court's extermination of the Dongyu this time is not a great achievement, not enough to shine in the annals of history, but for them, this is a real revenge for them, and it can be regarded as living up to the lives they lost!""
In addition, in the view of servants, the extermination of the Eastern Prisoners is not the same as the general counterinsurgency, for the dynasty, for China, it is even more important than the Han Dynasty to destroy the Xiongnu, because in the confrontation between the Han and the Huns, no matter how strong the Xiongnu are, there is no possibility of destroying the Han, but for the Ming Dynasty at the beginning of His Majesty's accession to the throne, the Eastern Lu has the possibility of destroying the world!"
When Yuan Keli said this, his voice became louder, echoing throughout the hall.Then, Yuan Keli said: "You may think that the servant is talking nonsense, but this is indeed what the servant thinks after thinking about it for a long time!"
It is not that Dongyu is not very strong, so he can't kill my Han family, in the eyes of the servant, at the beginning of His Majesty's accession to the throne, the party competition in the court was fierce, Wen Tian and Wu Xi, and he was already terminally ill, and among the people, unscrupulous businessmen have colluded with Wenchen and military generals, wantonly betrayed the interests of the country, and even had a selfish official and scholar, forgetting his ancestors, willing to be cheap, taking the initiative to take refuge in Dongyu, and actively helping Dongyu to destroy my Han family!
Such as Li Yongfang, Ning Wan and other generations, the same as Xining!
If it weren't for His Majesty's wisdom, employing people without suspicion, insisting on letting Xiong Gong Town Liaodong, and making it not suffer from the scourge of the party, and then purging the dynasty, the current state of the country has deteriorated to such a bad extent, I am afraid that Dongyu has already taken Liaoyang, Shenyang, and even has the opportunity to control the grassland tribes, and take the opportunity to enter the customs and plunder, so that I will become less and less supportive!
Therefore, this extermination of the Eastern Prisoners, recorded in the annals of history, is indeed not brilliant, but for the dynasty, it is a feat to turn the tide, and it is worth writing a special book!
”Li Guopu seemed to have forgotten his sense of proportion at this time because of the fierce court dispute, so he said directly: "I have heard for a long time that Yuanfu is hard and iron-blooded, so there are many people who criticize you in this way, and now I think about it, Yuanfu does seem to have a good sense of wearing and chiseling, Your Majesty is certainly wise and martial, but this does not mean that Xiong Gong was really the most suitable person to be the person of Liaodong Jingxue back then, and there was no public opinion at that time, if Yuan Dalai Yuan Yingtai Yuan Gong was Jinglu at that time, maybe he would have already exterminated Dongyu, and he didn't have to wait until today." ”"Can Yuan Dalai compare with Xiong Gong?
You, the elder Li Ge, are obviously talking about the truth, if you talk about controlling the generals and the soldiers, ten Yuan Dalai is not as good as Xiong Gong!
Lao Tzu understands that you want to fundamentally deny this great victory and our merits!
”Zhou Yuji, who had been promoted to the rank of privy deputy envoy as the representative of the generals, directly slapped the table and stood up at this time, and pointed at Li Guopu is angry reprimand.Lu Xiangsheng, who also held an official position, pulled Zhou Yuji back to his seat.Li Guopu felt quite angry about this, and said secretly: "If it weren't for Your Majesty's admiration of martial arts, it would not be possible for military ministers to participate in the military aircraft court meeting now, and even dare to point at the nose of one of his cabinet ministers and scold!"
If you really take advantage of this extermination of the Eastern Capture to seal a group of nobles, the ministers of the world are afraid that there is no possibility of even being on an equal footing with the generals, if you don't completely deny this war, you can't stop the future war, you must deny it!
”At this time, in order to prevent others from reprimanding Zhou Yuji for being rude, Lu Xiangsheng immediately opened his mouth to divert everyone's attention, and said: "Duke Qi once had a poem, it is not my intention to be a marquis, I hope that Hai Boping and the generals will not all be meritorious, but I don't think that Yuan Fu's inference about the threat of the Eastern Capture to the Dynasty and even our China is a chisel and a follow-up, and I have fought with the Eastern Prisoner dozens of times, they are indeed a group of ambitious and resourceful people!"
Otherwise, it would not be enough to make so many self-degraded Han scholars defect to the "whole court debate is quite fierce."
However, because of the different interests of each party, no one could convince anyone, and even if they quarreled from early morning to evening, they did not reach an agreement.Zhu Youxiao didn't expect them to quarrel with a result, after all, since ancient times, with different political concepts, there is no possibility of reconciliation, either you defeat me, or I defeat you, or even directly destroy the body!
Zhu Youxiao let them argue just to see which of his ministers were hawks and which were doves."
Let them continue to discuss in the court, although the world is ruled by me, but the affairs of the world can also be discussed."
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao said so after learning that the ministers had not yet discussed a unanimous result.And because of the emperor's connivance, this court discussion continued endlessly, and even let many people know about it."
Elder Li Ge and others are right, we must fundamentally deny every war!
Killing is just a game that monarchs like to play, and the people of the world only want peace and do not deny war, so they cannot limit the king's desires!
and all the nations of the world shall be burdened by it!
”Zhao Jinmei expressed his views on Wu Weiye and other scholars because of this matter at this time.
