Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Chapter 468 This is a battle of public opinion (please subscribe!!)

"Other suggestions? You'd better say something that will satisfy me!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice.

Li Shanchang cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the Confucian lineage should be immediately cleaned up like a thunderbolt. Those who deserve to be killed will be killed, and those who deserve to be exiled will be exiled. Only such thunderous means can severely shock those Xiaoxiao!"

hiss--

When Li Shanchang said these words, all the civil and military officials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony were shocked! Then he looked at Li Shanchang with an unbelievable look, but Li Shanchang turned a blind eye to these looks.

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his face darkened.

To be honest, Li Shanchang's idea coincided with what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to do, but having the same idea does not mean that he can really do it.

If he could really do this, Zhu Yuanzhang might have already taken action, and would he have to summon all the ministers to discuss it?

And aren’t Li Shanchang and the Confucian school “allies”?

You must know that just a few days ago, Li Shanchang and fifteen great Confucian scholars from the Confucian lineage joined forces to fight Ouyang Lun, right? Are you going to abandon your teammates?

Fortunately for Li Shanchang, he is very skilled at playing tricks in the court.

Backstabbing an ally is also without any psychological burden.

While Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking, other officials couldn't stand it anymore.

"Your Majesty, not all Confucianists are evil people. Many of the students, Confucian scholars and even the people who support them are deceived. If bloody methods are directly used, I am afraid it will chill the people!"

Lu Chang, a cabinet scholar and minister of rites, was the first to speak out.

"Your Majesty, it is not easy for our Ming Dynasty to be in this situation. It would be irrational to go to war over this matter!" Song Lian, a bachelor of the cabinet and minister of the Ministry of Personnel, also expressed his position.

"I think it is not the right time to use thunderous means, and it will only affect many innocent people." Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.

Li Shanchang looked a little ugly and retorted loudly: "Nowadays, those Confucian people are constantly instigating all over the Ming Dynasty. If we don't take action as soon as possible, we will regret it then!"

"Master Li, didn't you support the Confucian lineage before? Why do you want to kill all the Confucian lineage now? This change is too big!" Shan Anren, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, said in confusion.

"At this time and that time, I did feel that the Confucian lineage had been treated unfairly, and it would naturally happen for them. Now that the Confucian lineage has done things that brought disaster to the Ming Dynasty, how could I dare to join them!" Li Shanchang "Justice overwhelms." "Ran" said.

Then he raised his hands to Zhu Yuanzhang again and said, "Your Majesty, the only one I am loyal to is the Ming Dynasty, and only Your Majesty! The only thing I think about is the interests of the Ming Dynasty!"

"The actions of the Confucian school have violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty, please order them all to be eradicated. No one will be left alive!"

"And I suggest that Prince Consort Ouyang be responsible for taking charge of this matter. I believe that with Prince Consort Ouyang taking action, the Confucian lineage will not be able to cause any trouble at all!"

After speaking, Li Shanchang knelt directly on the ground. When his head faced the ground, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

Forcing Ouyang Lun to deal with the Confucian lineage himself was Li Shanchang's purpose!
Although the Confucian lineage has indeed done a lot of wrong things, if Ouyang Lun is stained with the blood of the Confucian lineage, no matter what, Ouyang Lun will become a veritable executioner, and he will only need to attract public opinion a little bit. , can completely ruin Ouyang Lun's reputation. Once Ouyang Lun loses the support of the people, it will be much easier for him to deal with Ouyang Lun, and Zhu Yuanzhang will gradually get tired of Ouyang Lun who is stained with blood.

Therefore, in order to defeat Ouyang Lun, we can only sacrifice the Confucian lineage. This strategy was just thought of by Li Shanchang. He did not communicate with people from the Confucian lineage at all, and of course there was no need to communicate. In the eyes of others, the Huaixi Party They are allies with the Confucian lineage, but in Li Shanchang's eyes, this Confucian lineage is just a chess piece to deal with Ouyang Lun. As long as it is used with value, there is no difference between the death and immortality of this chess piece.

In addition to dealing with Ouyang Lun, Li Shanchang's move also had the purpose of completely cutting off the Confucian lineage. The last debate in the court was very heated, and the Confucian lineage lost to Ouyang Lun. He, Li Shanchang, was embarrassed, and later he also There are several censors who have secretly colluded with him and the Confucian school. Now the Confucian school has done such outrageous things. If he doesn't express his attitude, there will definitely be more censors who will get involved with him.

The Prince Consort Party has really grown in strength! If this were put in the past, that censor would have dared to play against Li Shanchang.

However, as he now cuts off his relationship with the Confucian school, these threats have disappeared.

Of course, if Li Shanchang dared to say this, he actually concluded that Zhu Yuanzhang also had such thoughts in his heart. He took the initiative to help Zhu Yuanzhang say what he wanted to say, and maybe he could get Zhu Yuanzhang's approval.

It can be said that this is completely Li Shanchang's plan to achieve multiple goals with one stone!

However, Li Shanchang had calculated a lot and predicted a lot, such as the reactions of other officials, etc. However, Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction surprised Li Shanchang.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not directly acknowledge what Li Shanchang said, but thought about it seriously.

Um! ?

If this had been done in the past, Your Majesty would have agreed to my suggestion long ago. Why are you hesitant today? What is Your Majesty thinking about?
The Hall of Supreme Harmony instantly became quiet.

Zhu Yuanzhang was indeed troubled. In his opinion, the method Li Shanchang mentioned was indeed the simplest and most effective. However, once the Confucian lineage was really purged, it would involve the entire Ming Dynasty. This was different from the purge of Hu Weiyong's associates and Guo Huan's corruption. The case with the Tongdang, the Kongyin case with the Tongdang, etc. are different. It involves not only officials, but also many Confucian scholars and common people!
If it is not handled well, it may lead to civil unrest, and it is estimated that the Confucian school wants to achieve such an effect.

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was hesitant and undecided, his eyes subconsciously looked at Ouyang Lun, who had been silent.

"Ouyang Lun, everyone has expressed their opinions, what about you? What are your opinions?"

Hearing this, Ouyang Lun said slowly: "I'm afraid your Majesty already has an idea in his mind. The opinion of my son-in-law is not important, so I won't show off my shame."

Hearing Ouyang Lun's words, Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely angry.

This bastard Ouyang Lun is just a loach! You are so slippery, you have no intention of taking the move!
"What do you mean your opinion is not important? That's nonsense!" Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly: "Do you know that in these memorials from all over the world, whenever someone mentions Confucianism, you, Ouyang Lun, will inevitably be mentioned! "

"And didn't you hear what Li Shanchang said just now? He recommended you to uproot the Confucian lineage from our territory in the Ming Dynasty! He said you are the most suitable candidate!"

"If you have no objection, then I will order you to clean up the Confucian lineage!"

Ouyang Lun felt like his head was spinning when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang talking a lot.

However, Ouyang Lun was also quite dissatisfied. I didn't say anything during the whole process. You just said what you said. Why did you have to hold me back? Li Shanchang is like this, and Zhu Yuanzhang is like this too!

"Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with me. Whoever wants to deal with Confucianism can do it. After all, who can say that he can't!"

Ouyang Lun muttered.

"In addition, we have to inform the world who proposed this method!" Ouyang Lun looked at Li Shanchang, "Master Li, I am not targeting you! Because only in this way can everyone in the world know that what Confucianism is doing is wrong. ,Of course,,,it can also let everyone in the world know that Mr. Li is fair and selfless, and can abandon his teammates at any time for the sake of Ming Dynasty."

"As the saying goes, teammates offer sacrifices to heaven, and their power is boundless. I don't know who Mr. Li will attack after he sacrifices teammates to heaven!"

Hearing this, Li Shanchang's face suddenly darkened, but he still remained rational and said in a deep voice: "Ouyang Prince Consort, please be careful. My Li Shanchang teammates have never been from the Confucian lineage. I have just explained it to Your Majesty. It’s very clear.”

"And who will deal with the Confucian lineage is not decided by you or me, but by His Majesty."

Seeing Ouyang Lun and Li Shanchang fighting each other, Zhu Yuanzhang felt happy in his heart.

Ouyang Lun, the sixth oldest, has a very strong ability to quarrel with others. His mouth is like quenching poison. No wonder even fifteen great scholars can't defeat him together. Li Shanchang is also a eloquent person, but in the end he still can't win against Ouyang. Lun.

Seeing that all the ministers were looking at him, Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to be serious, and then looked at Ouyang Lun again.

"Ouyang Lun, don't tell me it's useless."

"Since you don't agree with Li Shanchang's idea, then come up with your own idea."

"Don't tell me that this matter has nothing to do with you. The Confucian lineage has come to this point and has nothing to do with you. I heard the news Ji Gang brought back that the reason why the Confucian lineage sends men in black to beat people is because those who are beaten are They are praising you, Ouyang Lun, and they are also trying to fight against you, Ouyang Lun. If the time comes, they will probably clear you. As for who, you should know clearly, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

Forehead.
Needless to say?
Ouyang Lun murmured in his heart.

But Zhu Yuanzhang was right, this matter must be completely resolved.

If Li Shanchang is really allowed to do it, he may not be able to do anything.

Moreover, those people in the Confucian lineage are really nothing. Isn’t there anyone who understands among them? If you have to be stubborn to the end, your brain won't turn around, right?
And you scolded us! Every clay figurine has three fires!

You have to take care of them yourself.

"Your Majesty, my son-in-law has thought of another solution."

Thinking of this, Ouyang Lun didn't want to delay this time and spoke directly.

When he heard Ouyang Lun's words, he immediately attracted the attention of all the ministers in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

After understanding the Confucian lineage, whether it was Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Shanchang, or other ministers, they all knew how difficult it was to completely solve the Confucian lineage.

People from the Confucian school are notoriously stubborn and one-sided. Now that the Confucian school is doing these things, it is almost impossible to persuade them to stop.

And judging from the current situation, through the continuous spread of rumors and instigation by the Confucian line, more and more people are joining the Confucian line, especially in places where information is underdeveloped, almost overwhelmingly supporting the Confucian line, thinking that Ouyang Lun and the imperial court are the real villains!

Even the local government was coerced by people of the Confucian lineage, and the local officials were helpless about the actions of the Confucian lineage. It can be said that the Confucian lineage is like a parasite parasitizing the entire Ming Dynasty. It was originally hidden. Deep, now that it is aware of the danger, it is trying its best to drill deeper, the greater the threat to Ming Dynasty!
Besides the iron-blooded suppression shovel, what else could Ouyang Lun think of?
Moreover, there is not much time left for Ouyang Lun. Once the Confucian lineage really raises the banner of "Qingjun side", it will definitely involve a large number of ordinary people. By then, there will probably be another war in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. .

Zhu Yuanzhang also thought about this and took action to deal with the Confucian lineage. This is not difficult. The time to take action is rare. If he takes action too early, innocent people will be implicated. If he takes action late, innocent people will also be implicated.

Only by first isolating the common people from the Confucian lineage, and identifying the real mastermind, and launching a fatal blow with lightning speed, can the loss and impact be minimized.

"Speak quickly!"

Zhu Yuanzhang urged with some expectation.

"Aside from learning, the strongest thing Confucianists do is to deceive people. If they are really correct, it is understandable that the people will support them. But if they are not correct, then they must have lied to the people and those who support them. !”

"The competition at this time is the ability to publicize and control public opinion. Confucianism's ability to publicize and control public opinion is indeed strong, but it is a pity that they met me, Ouyang Lun!"

"We just need to find a way to let the people and those who are deceived by them know the truth. Then no one will support them and they will lose everyone's support. On the contrary, because of these things they have done, the people have been delayed. After a normal birth, it affects the implementation of imperial decrees and makes people have less money in their pockets."

"Your Majesty, what will the people do at that time?"

Hearing Ouyang Lun's words, Zhu Yuanzhang and all the ministers were suddenly stunned.

The interests of the common people are now tied to the imperial court. Road construction sites cannot start work normally, and common people who are construction site workers cannot earn wages. Naturally, they will have opinions. Education reform cannot be implemented, which means that Children of ordinary people have to wait if they want to study! Needless to say about other projects.

Perhaps the people now believe the deception of the Confucian line and sacrifice themselves to support the Confucian line, but as long as the truth is made known to the people, the situation will be reversed directly.

"Under the deception of Confucian people, the people do have some opinions about the court and me personally, but as long as they understand the truth, they will understand the court's actions! This will target the Confucian lineage and let them shoot themselves in the face. foot!"

"As long as this is achieved, the court does not need to take action at all. The people of Ming Dynasty alone cannot spare them!"

"We will wait for the people to catch the real masterminds!"

"After these actions, Confucianism will completely lose the support of the people and will no longer be able to do anything."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang and all the ministers nodded.

"Consort Ouyang's method is really good! But how can you let the people know the truth?"
