Great fusion of heaven and earth

Chapter 373

"By the way, who is going to watch the spirit tonight?"

Zhu Biao looked at his younger brothers and asked.

"Brother, I will lead the vigil tonight."

Zhu Di stood up, cupped his hands and said.

"Well, then go quickly, take these honest children with you, don't forget to smear some mustard on your sleeves, it's a good thing, you will burst into tears when you swallow it, if you think it's indecent, I will There are also pepper water and ginger water, which can also make you cry, but your eyes hurt a little, if you want to express a little sadness, I also have onion juice that doesn't hurt your eyes."

Zhu Biao took out a bunch of things and put them there, all of which could make people cry.

And Zhu Di was asked to bring those honest children there to cry for Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Brother is really well prepared."

Zhu Di reached out and took a few bottles of onion juice, which is a good thing for acting.

He dragged those honest children to go to the vigil with him again, and explained all these things clearly to these children on the way.

"They are really honest children, my second child. You can't let your sons learn Confucianism. That's not the study of emperors, nor the study of royal families. You will be of great use in the future."

Zhu Biao sat up straight and looked at Zhu Xi and the others and said.

"The study of emperors is not something we can learn. Don't say what my elder brother said. It will cause trouble if the foreign court hears it. And elder brother, Confucianism is now powerful, and you still have to rely on Confucianism to govern the country. If you can’t say it, don’t say it, otherwise it will be dangerous, and we have all seen the methods of those literati.”

Zhu Xi stretched out his hand and waved his sleeves, telling his elder brother not to say any more. If this word gets out, something big will happen, and those civil servants will make a fuss. The civil servants always thought that these kings were not pleasing to the eye, and they would make trouble for those who had nothing to do. Once this was said, those courtiers would really make trouble.

Besides, Confucianism is dominant now. At this time, the emperor took the lead in opposing Confucianism. And ambitious emperors, one by one either died of taking medicine or falling into the water, they really slipped a bunch of tricks.

"That's why I told you not to study Confucianism, nor did I ask you to study Legalism, but what my father said in the document, those later generations' studies, you can learn them, I don't know if you should learn them, but Let the people learn too."

Zhu Biao touched the document with his hand and said: "When more people are literate, they will understand the truth, and those officials will have no way to fool them. Then I will cancel those preferential policies for students and literati, and cancel those tax exemptions." We can’t raise a group of white-eyed wolves! Taking advantage of us, being our officials, and being proud of scolding us everywhere, how can there be such a reason.”

"Long-term indebtedness will lead to enmity, but brother, what if those students and officials get into trouble, what should we do? Our current officials are all enjoying these benefits. If they don't have these benefits, they can't even live. If you can't live on, those new officials will have to borrow usury. If this is not resolved, the elder brother really has to give some benefits. The students can not give it, but the officials can't give it, otherwise Those things will still happen in the future.”

Zhu Sui lived in the capital for a long time, but he knew what kind of life those officials lived. This is because Zhu Yuanzhang did too much and was too harsh on the officials. He was not a family member who had to support him, and now there is another official who is not borrowing money. After paying a large amount of money, the first thing to do every time the salary is paid is to repay the old loan, and then borrow a new loan.

"Old Five is right. If those officials weren't too poor, how could they keep staring at us? They would say something big about a little mistake, and say that we are a disaster for the country and the people if there is nothing wrong. So angry."

When Zhu Xi heard Zhu Xi's words, he immediately continued.

He was reported in a letter when he had nothing to do, which really annoyed him to death.

"You really dare to say, you dare to say those things, didn't you do it? If I hadn't helped you, your dog temper would have been beaten to death by the old man long ago. Take a look at what you did. !"

Zhu Biao picked up a book from his side and threw it at Zhu Xi.

Zhu Xi didn't hide or get annoyed, so he reached out and took the book, looked at it was Qing History, opened it again and flipped through it, the bookmark was on the page of Yanglian Yinzi.

"Brother, do you want to use this system of raising honest banks? This thing makes them even more corrupt. There are no good people in the officialdom, and human nature is greedy, and this official is even more so."

Zhu Xi is really not stupid. You must know that the more wrong things he does, the less people will think that he can have ambitions for the throne, and the safer he and his descendants will be. Although he really has no ambitions, it does not mean that those Civilian and military generals did not suspect him, so in order to avoid suspicion, he did a lot of ridiculous things, but he was compensated privately afterwards, so no matter how outrageous he did, his throne was secure.

"That's right, big brother's heart is very greedy. We have learned that human nature is evil since we were young, so you have to be careful."

Zhu Yan also said together, he is not a good friend, he has done more things than his second brother to avoid suspicion, he only did one thing, and let the government and the public exclude him from the crown prince There is a category of threats, but he is much smarter than his second brother, but he just got whipped by his father.

Zhu Biao looked at his two younger brothers. If he really died like Ming Shi, if their reputations were not destroyed, they would still be suitable candidates for the crown prince. Unfortunately, their reputations were also ruined after his death. And the number of lives is not long.

"I know what you said, but if you want the horses to run, you have to feed the horses. Only when they are full will they have the strength to work. If you can't do it well, then you can't blame our knives for being too sharp , there is no officialdom habit of not killing scholar-bureaucrats in this dynasty."

Zhu Biao's words made Zhu Xi and the others laugh. The rest of the room are smart kids, of course they know what Zhu Biao wants to do.

"But those Confucian civil servants will make a fuss, after all, they are the dominant family now."

"As for those Confucian civil servants, don't worry about them. Li Shanchang and Master Li have cultivated a lot of capable ministers and officials. I can use all these people. They are not Confucianists. Just let them fight among themselves. Of course we have big things to do."

Zhu Biao waved his hand and said.
