"Therefore, if you want the emperor to obey the etiquette system, and the etiquette system can only be explained by everyone in the world, it can only appear, and if this situation occurs, the entire Ming Dynasty, everyone is a scholar, everyone will think loudly, and everyone has a sense of responsibility for the society and the country, it will take a long time, but I am afraid that it will take many years, maybe our generation will not be able to see it, Chen Zilong, you tell them, if anyone wants to limit the monarchy with the etiquette system, then let everyone in the world have the consciousness of the master of the country!"
Zhu Youxiao continued to say to Chen Zilong.Chen Zilong laughed after hearing this, and replied: "The world's well-educated people may not be willing to do this, after all, in this way, the scholars will become undignified!"
”Zhu Youxiao replied: "What can be done, they refuse to give up their dignity first, how can they ask the emperor to give up their dignity!"
”Zhu Youxiao looked at Yuan Keli as he spoke, "Hmph!
Hypocrisy!
If they don't want to do it, we Xingming Society people have to do it, after all, I am not really a single husband, nor do I really want to be a slave owner for all of you, so to speak, Daming is still able to take me as the leader, carry out party and government, concentrate power, and speed up the opening of people's wisdom, so as to make China more civilized!
”"This brings to the problem that the people are not smart enough today, none of the rebellious employees of the Tongzhou Rebellion thought of using the method in "The Great Message", did not directly lock up the corrupt official Gao Hongzong to complain to me, but used the disobedient behavior of striking or even plotting rebellion to resist, which shows that we have not popularized the education of the emperor's national law, and the people have not relied on reasonable means to uphold justice for themselves!"
Zhu Youxiao continued.Since its birth, although Taizu strictly ordered that all households need to collect a copy of the "Great Message", even the offender, if there is a "Great Message" at home, the crime can be reduced by one degree, and the common people can enter Beijing with the "Great Message" to sue the emperor, without the need for a road guide, no one along the way shall stop it, and the person who blocks it will kill the whole family!
But the officials were not happy about the popularization of the book, nor did they mention the book or the things it prescribed, and most of the people did not read it, so after more than two hundred years, no one knew about it. ”Wei Zhongxian, who had not spoken much, suddenly replied, he was good at figuring out Zhu Youxiao's intentions, and he had already understood everything about the "Great Message" in the early Ming Dynasty.After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao said: "The more people are not willing to be popularized by rentiers, we have to promote popularization!"
The imperial court has to think of various ways to popularize these things to the people, and in addition, it has to beware of some local tyrants who also say that they are the people, and there are grievances, so they use the "Great Message" to falsely accuse officials, and they have to formulate a more reasonable trial process according to the "Great Message". ”Next.In accordance with Zhu Youxiao's will, Yuan Keli announced the emperor's decree at the court meeting that was still debating the matter of the reward for destroying the Eastern Prisoners and whether to continue the war against the Tatars.Although the dovish ministers did not want to see this decision, they did not dare to disobey it.Li Guopu, a scholar, believes that this may be related to the fact that Yuan Keli, a hawkish minister, is the first assistant to the cabinet and is favored by His Majesty the Emperor.But in any case, although Zhu Youxiao, the emperor, made the final decision and chose to support the views of the hawkish minister.However, the fierceness of this court dispute also shows that the forces opposing the empire's external expansion are not small, and there are even some shrewd and capable ministers with good conduct."
Fengtian carried the emperor, and the edict said: Xiong Tingbi, the former privy envoy, had meritorious service in guarding Liaodong during his tenure as Liaodong's economic strategy, and repelled the eastern captives several times, and then led a large army to clear the eastern captives, and made great contributions, so he entered the Fengyi Guogong!""
Fengtian carries the emperor, the edict says: Huagai Dian, the Taibao Officials Department Shangzhu State Yuan Keli served as the southwest of the period, the southwest of the barbarians were meritorious, and then during the Liaodong strategy, took the initiative to suppress the east, outstanding achievements, and then in the center, coordinated the machine affairs, hard work and high merit, so into the Fengxing Guogong!""
Fengtian carried the emperor, and the edict said: During the period when Sun Chuanting, the secretary of the military department and the deputy privy envoy, served as the governor of Liaodong, he annihilated a large number of large-scale captives, and then led a large army to clear the eastern captives, pacified the Jianzhou Guard, and in the war in Liaodong, the military achievements were the highest, so he entered the title of Qin Guogong!
Liaodong has a bronze statue of Hetu Ala to remember it!
”"Fengtian carried the emperor, and the edict said: Qin Liangyu, the governor of the left capital and the deputy envoy of the privy council, practiced in the martial arts hall and made great contributions, and then made great contributions in the barbarians in the southwest of Ping, and defeated the Dongyu several times in Liaodong, with outstanding merits, so he entered the title of Chengguo Gong!""
Fengtian carried the emperor, and the edict said: Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of the left capital of the Guards and the deputy envoy of the privy council, made meritorious contributions to the suppression of the eastern captives in Liaodong, and later pacified the rebellion in Tongzhou, so he entered the title of Duke of Anguo!""
Fengtian carried the emperor, and the edict said: Zhou Yuji, the right governor of the Guards and the deputy envoy of the privy council, made meritorious contributions to the suppression of the eastern captives in Liaodong, and made meritorious contributions to the rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River, so he entered the title and the Duke of the Kingdom!"
…… Wei Zhongxian's throat was almost hoarse, because there were too many heroes rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor this time.In order to promote this martial arts, Zhu Youxiao directly sealed six dukes in one go, not to mention the marquis and earl, and even Wang Zaijin, who did not support the continuation of the war, was named an earl because of his meritorious service in dispatching grain and grass and repelling the Tatars who invaded the Ming Dynasty.In addition, Zhu Youxiao also knighted ministers who had made achievements in science and technology for the first time.Zhu Youxiao's reason is that these technical achievements have made the Ming Dynasty a great success in the military, and it has also made great contributions to the people's livelihood and the rescue of thousands of Li Shu, which is naturally worthy of praise to inspire the world's technological improvers.Xu Guangqi was thus made an earl.It is worth mentioning.In the past Ming Dynasty, in addition to the founding of the country and the Jingnan, the highest title of the minister who had military merits was only a marquis.Not to mention civil officials, at most to the earl.But this time Zhu Youxiao really sealed the Duke of the State, and because of the increasingly serious phenomenon of literati leading troops after the Tumu Fort, the commander-in-chief is still a civilian official, even if Zhu Youxiao has separated the military from internal affairs, so Xiong Tingbi, Yuan Keli, and Sun Chuanting, who were named the Duke of the Nation, inevitably have a civilian background.Of course, Zhu Youxiao believes that if he does this, Xiong Tingbi, Yuan Keli, and Sun Chuanting will be accepted by the civil official group, I am afraid that it will become a problem.Moreover, most of these newly promoted nobles, except for Xiong Tingbi and Xu Guangqi, who have already become officials, still hold important positions in the court.Therefore, Zhu Youxiao undoubtedly fostered a new group of honors and nobles who were powerful and powerful in the DPRK."
Now that these ministers have been knighted, they can no longer stand in the court, and they should all take the initiative to resign from their positions in the political hall, cabinet, and privy council!
Otherwise, it is a disagreement with etiquette, so that there is no distinction between civil and military, and the left and right are reversed. ”After the court push, because he did not let the emperor value it during the imperial meeting, Li Biao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who was not promoted, discussed the matter because of this.And Zhu Youxiao only smiled when he saw his recital: "When Taizu, there were still civil officials who hung up as dukes, and the military minister Xu Da was even listed in the middle book, why is it that I am not in line with etiquette here, am I not the inherited Taizu's country?"
In addition, since ancient times, there have been both civil and military people, how do you have to divide the civil and military, this discussion is really a big fallacy, preaching the new meritorious service, dare to resign from the knighthood or official position because of the fear of civil and military indistinction, worried about the incompatibility of the etiquette system, to flatter Shilin, the king is not sincere!
