Chapter 955 Banning "Hongwu Political Theory"

Zhao Tan read the entire "Hongwu Political Theory", and was very keenly aware that Su Yonglin's approach to eradicating the cancer in the ruling class was not to enhance the power of the monarchy.

He did not do this to allow the monarch to achieve absolute dictatorship, to achieve complete dictatorship, and to increase the power in his hands.

All of his descriptions reflect a kind of attitude of the world for the public.

It is not for himself that he eradicated corrupt officials, otherwise he would have absolutely no need to reveal the nature of this class to the public, and there is no need to announce why they eradicated them, and what the benefits would be of eradicating them, etc. This is all unnecessary.

It is enough to kill them directly, and then show the world that you are powerful and inviolable, it is enough to show your power.

Why bother to do this?

This practice of thoroughly presenting the mystery of imperial power and politics in front of the whole society made Zhao Tan feel like a baby who was stripped naked and placed in front of the public for everyone to watch.

He is very insecure, he hates this kind of practice from the bottom of his heart, he will never accept it, and it is absolutely impossible to agree with such a practice.

Therefore, the Human Sovereign that Su Yonglin wanted to be was fundamentally different from the Human Sovereign that Zhao Tan dreamed of.

Zhao Tan felt an unprecedented discomfort, which represented a stronger sense of panic.

How can the emperor be seen through his own thoughts?

Is this still the emperor?
What exactly does Su Yonglin want to do? To expose such unspoken rules of politics to the world, so that politics will no longer have a sense of secret, so that rural villagers can talk about political affairs and political figures from now on. Why?
Does he really want to be emperor?
Zhao Tan suddenly had this strange sense of sight.

Zhao Tan was silent for a long time until a familiar voice sounded.

"Your Majesty, it's already the first hour of Hai Shi, do you... do you want to have dinner?"

The personal eunuch Wang Huan had returned at some point, standing beside him, and asked carefully.

Zhao Tan turned to look at Wang Huan.

"You... have you found what I asked you to check?"

Zhao Tan did not answer his question, but asked the question himself.

Wang Huan nodded.

"The files you want to read are all here."

Wang Huan stretched out his finger and pointed to Zhao Tan's left hand.

Zhao Tan looked over and saw a stack of documents.

Thinking about it, he was so absorbed in reading the book that he didn't even notice the passage of time and the return of the king's ring.

Zhao Tan nodded, reached out and took the information, and opened it.

The first is Su Dingguang's information.

According to the records, Su Dingguang was originally from Shandong, and he followed Song Ting to the south during the Jingkang period. He once held an official position in the Jinghu area and made some contributions to Yue Fei's transportation of grain.

Later, Yue Fei died unjustly. As the main combatant, Su Dingguang was also attacked by Qin Hui, and was transferred from the front line to serve as an official in the southeast state capital where there was no threat of war. He died of illness in 24 years, and had a son who died early.

Zhao Tan's heart sank.

Next is the information of Sun Yuanqi, the chief minister of Jinbei.

According to the records, Sun Yuanqi once worked as an assistant under Su Dingguang, transported grain for Yue Fei together, and worked diligently.

Later, he left some connections and filled up the central position. He did not go to other state capitals with his old boss to become an official, and his official luck was good.

But in the 28th year of Shaoxing, he died strangely in a high-end tavern in Lin'an City.

As the emperor, Zhao Tan naturally consulted the files with the highest authority. This file recorded in detail that Sun Yuanqi's death was caused by excessive drug use. It also recorded the investigation process of the court, and finally identified the suspects involved in a case. On the person named Su Yonglin.

This person ate and drank with Sun Yuanqi on the eve of the crime, and Sun Yuanqi's wife also explained that Sun Yuanqi had a deep relationship with him and was the most suspicious.

It was only when they went to Dinghai County of Qingyuan House to arrest the suspect, the suspect had already fled and did not know where to go. The case was deadlocked. Afterwards, the corruption incident of Sun Yuanqi, the court was helpless, and only issued a wanted order locally. It was over.

Su Yonglin.

Ok.

Su Yonglin.

When Zhao Tan flipped through the dossier, he also found a pattern of a wanted order posted in the local Qingyuan Mansion.

Three coins.

"Hehehehehehe..."

Zhao Tan laughed out loud, a bit penetrating.

Wang Huan didn't know why the emperor laughed so penetratingly.

"Officer, what are you laughing at?"

"Me? I'm laughing at these people for being overly self-sufficient. San Guan Qian wants to bring the Emperor of Ming to justice?"

After Zhao Tan finished speaking, he even burst into laughter, unable to straighten his waist and gasping for breath.

Wang Huan quickly stepped forward to pat Zhao Tan on the back, and managed to straighten him out.

Zhao Tan took a few breaths, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and laughed loudly: "Even if the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty kills our officials, what can we do? San Guan Qian wants to catch someone? Hahahaha Ridiculous! The great myth of the absurd world! Hahahahahahahahahahahaha..."

Zhao Tan couldn't stop laughing until he was hoarse.

That night, Zhao Tan ate nothing and stayed up all night. The next morning he developed a high fever and fell ill.

The eunuchs and eunuchs were in a mess, so he quickly asked a doctor to treat him.

Before Zhao Tan completely lost consciousness and fell into a coma, he gave Ye Yiwen and Shen Gai the last order.

Completely prohibit the circulation of "Hongwu Zheng Lun" in the Song Dynasty, and make this book a banned book. Once it is found to be in circulation, the book will be burned immediately. Private ownership and circulation are not allowed.

Then, including the court officials, no one is allowed to talk about the content of "Hongwu Zheng Lun". Once found, the whole people can report it, and those who report it will be rewarded.

All in all, it is a complete ban, not only to ban "Hongwu Political Theory", but also to seal it up. No one is allowed to say it, and the content of Hongwu Political Theory is not allowed to continue to circulate in the Southern Song Dynasty, so as not to cause irreversible results.

Even in a trance, Zhao Tan realized the huge hidden danger that this book might bring to him.

Su Yonglin's purpose of subverting the old system and creating a new system is true. He is really doing it, and he has achieved considerable success. The strength of the Ming Kingdom is a proof.

This made Zhao Tan particularly fearful.

Because according to this statement, he, Zhao Tan, will be the number one criminal in the sky. Once captured by the Ming Kingdom, he will surely die.

The entire Zhao Song royal family may not have a good end.

The Ming Kingdom will inevitably go south to destroy the Song Dynasty. In the future, this war will be unavoidable. Now we only need to see when the Ming Kingdom will go south to destroy the Song Dynasty, not the subjective will of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Unfortunately, it was too late when he gave this order.

Because as early as the first day of March when this book was released, many businessmen from the Song Dynasty in the border areas of Ming and Song countries had snapped up this book "Hongwu Political Theory" because of extreme curiosity. In addition, there are a series of Shuren Book Club Book on sale.

Because they don't ask about their identities when selling to the outside world, merchants in Song Dynasty can easily buy these books, and easily bring them back to Song Jing, and then return to their hometown and start to advertise that they have obtained good things.

The book written by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, everyone!

Don't even look at this!

The wonders of the ages, the emperor's writing can make us ordinary people see it!

So as "Hongwu Zheng Lun" became a hit in the Ming Dynasty, in about a month, the book also became a hit in the border areas of the Song Kingdom. Not only local people with respectable faces knew about the existence of this book, but also many townships Nomura knew that—

Have you heard?The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty wrote a book for the common people to read!
I heard, what is Hongwu arguing about, I heard people say it looks good!

Come on, as soon as you hear it, you know you don't know, that's called political comment!Government affairs!

uh... see you later.

The common people of the Ming Dynasty were very gossip, and of course the people of the Southern Song Dynasty were also very gossip. This kind of thing about the emperor was even more gossip to the extreme. Everyone was very interested in it. Everyone knows about it.

Not to mention that the speed of information dissemination is full at this time, but there are some things that people are really not interested in. Once you encounter something that you are really interested in, how fast and how fast it will be spread, without any blockage.

Zhao Tan saw this book and decided to ban it in the fourth year of Hongwu, which was also his own third year of Longxing on the seventh day of the fifth month.

Because there are almost no restrictions on purchases, it is conservatively estimated that three or five thousand copies of "Hongwu Zheng Lun" were grabbed by merchants in the Southern Song Dynasty and spread to the Southern Song Dynasty, which aroused great interest.

For a time, paper was expensive in Luoyang, and a copy of "Hongwu Political Theory" was sold for the price of gold in some places.

This attracted the attention of a large number of professional scalpers and professional pirated dogs in the Southern Song Dynasty.

These people don't care to think, and they don't even know how to read, but they know that money is delicious.

With the start of another wave of replenishment in early May, another large number of "Hongwu Zheng Lun" poured into the Southern Song Dynasty as if choking the time, and marched frantically to the southern states.

At the same time, a large number of pirated copies of "Hong Wu Zheng Lun" began to be circulated and sold in the Southern Song Dynasty. The asking price was relatively low and the content was incomplete, but it was enough to satisfy people's curiosity.

Therefore, even if Ye Yiwen, who did not know the reason, immediately hurriedly ordered the book to be banned after reading the preface of "Hongwu Political Theory", it would still be the eighth day of the fifth month.

On this day, it is conservatively estimated that more than [-] pirated copies of "Hongwu Political Theory" have been circulated in the Southern Song Dynasty.

As for the private copy, transfer, etc., the number is even more innumerable.

According to the bureaucrats of the Southern Song Dynasty, they were far from the original work efficiency, and when the order finally left Lin'an and moved to various places, it was already May [-]th.

As for the thorough implementation to various places, it will be after June or July.

As for the implementation, the benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees the wisdom.
