Daming: Refining zombies at the beginning, Lao Zhu was shocked

Chapter 217 Chapter 217: Your Fang family’s ancestral tomb covers an area of ​​ acres, which is not even enough to bury it!

"We don't want to make Biao'er work too hard either!"

"There are really too many things that need to be done for reform. If we don't set up a cabinet, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep in the future. The three of us, father and son, won't be able to take care of it all!"

Zhu Yuanzhang is telling the truth. If the Ming Dynasty is still the same as before, then model workers like Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao can still maintain the normal operation of the court if they persist!

But then again, that's how model workers like Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao can manage such a large country under such circumstances!

How many of our descendants can be as diligent as their father and son?

Therefore, the establishment of a cabinet system is also the general trend and will happen sooner or later!

Not to mention that the reform will increase the original workload exponentially. This is the early stage of reform, and Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao have already felt a little overwhelmed these days!

What is the root cause of the red eye?

Just because I can’t control it!

If you don’t have the patience to solve them one by one, just use the simplest and crudest way!

But obviously this road will not work at all!

"The cabinet system has been perfected in later generations. In fact, dad only needs to copy it and there is no need to discuss it!"

"Anyway, I don't have any objections. You and your brother can figure it out!"

Zhu Yue doesn't care about this. Anyway, even if the old man doesn't build a cabinet now, he will do it after he takes office!

Even if he originally planned to train Zhu Xiaqiu to supervise the country, he would not treat Zhu Xiaqiu as Zhu Biao and order him around!

Even if you are considering your son's health, setting up a cabinet team to help handle state affairs is something that must be done!

"Okay, then we and Biao'er will select some important reformist ministers and build up the cabinet first!"

"After the Imperial Guard Academy is established later, future ministers will be selected from the Imperial Guard Academy!"

"Anyway, the term changes every few years, so I'm not afraid that they will become bigger!"

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Zhu Yue had no objection and nodded with great satisfaction.

The Imperial Guard Academy must also be established, but the process of cultivating talents takes time. Zhu Yuanzhang cannot wait that long for the time being, so he can only select from among the existing important ministers!

For example, the Minister of Hubu and the Minister of Personnel have now become reformists. It should be no problem to let them join the cabinet!

As for other candidates, you need to think carefully!

"Lanyu's group can be sent directly to the Royal Guard Academy as instructors. When there is no war, it can be considered as finding something for them to do. It would also be good to train more useful military talents for the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Yue nodded with deep understanding.

"We think so too!"

"But that boy Lan Yu still needs to be beaten up. Later, we will kill those Lan Yu guys before we find him, and we will make it clear to him face to face!"

"It doesn't matter anything else. His trick of collecting adopted children from everywhere must not appear in the Imperial Guard Academy!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, his tone became unkind.

If it weren't for Zhu Yue's ability to suppress Lan Yu's group of nobles, he would definitely not keep Lan Yu's group!

Speaking of which, Lan Yu and the others have to thank Zhu Yue!

"You can watch the affairs of the Royal Guard Academy unfold. If your son is needed, just ask. He will go back and prepare some teaching materials. He also needs to train a group of teachers who can teach cultural courses!"

Zhu Yue is not good at writing. Compared with martial arts, teachers in liberal arts are the most troublesome!

If Royal Guards College really wants to open its doors, these talents are the key!

"In addition, you have to give me one more person!"

Zhu Li changed the topic at this time.

"Who?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.

"Fang Xiaoru!"

"You transfer him back to me, and I will ask him to stay in the Han Palace to teach Qiu'er and the others, and at the same time, I will also train a group of cultural teachers!"

Zhu Yue said Fang Xiaoru's name directly.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao couldn't help but look at each other, obviously they didn't expect Lao Jiu to look at Fang Xiaoru!

However, Fang Xiaoru was once the favorite disciple of the great Confucian Song Lian, and his status in Confucianism is now among the highest, no worse than Liu Sanwu!

If Fang Xiaoru can be controlled by Lao Jiu, the pressure on Confucianism will definitely be reduced a lot!

"This Fang Xiaoru is a stone in the pit. If I really want to give it to you, can you handle it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang understood Zhu Yue's thoughts, but at the same time he was a little uneasy.

"It's just a filial piety. My son has his own way to make him return to his heart!"

Zhu Yue smiled confidently.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao naturally have no objections to this. If Zhu Yue can really win over Fang Xiaoru, that will be a good thing!

After asking the old man for Fang Xiaoru, Zhu Yue left Xi'an Mansion directly and returned to Hanzhong!

In fact, Huangwei College is just a rhetoric. If he wants to train cultural teachers, Zhu Yue has many ways. He just wants Fang Xiaoru to be Zhu Xiaqiu's teacher!

Although this guy is a talker and has a very stubborn temper, Zhu Li knows that this old boy is also considered a talent. He is currently a prefect in Jining, Shandong Province, and he has always been law-abiding!

So he wanted Fang Xiaoru to be a Chinese teacher for Zhu Xiaqiu and teach some Confucian classics!

Although the Confucian approach is not useful in governing the country, it still has merits in ideological construction!

The most basic concepts of benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust must be learned!

It’s just that what Zhu Li wants is all-round teaching. Just like in the modern society of later generations, ideology and moral character are only one of the subjects. There are also Chinese, history, geography, mathematics, chemistry, biology, politics and other subjects!

Among them, if Fang Xiaoru could teach him, he would let Fang Xiaoru teach him.

What Fang Xiaoru can't teach, he has other trained researchers who can do it!

At least in terms of traditional literature, Fang Xiaoru’s teaching is more than enough!

Of course, Fang Xiaoru's current influence in Confucianism is also the key to Zhu Li's fancy!

Once you have Fang Xiaoru under control, it will be much easier for you to face Confucianism in the future!

Zhu Yuanzhang did not let Zhu Yue wait too long.

About twenty days after Zhu Yue returned to Hanzhong, Fang Xiaoru also arrived at Hanzhong Mansion.

In fact, Fang Xiaoru didn't understand until Hanzhong. Why did the emperor suddenly order him to resign as the prefect of Jining and come to the Han Dynasty to be a teacher for the prince of Han Dynasty?

Although he didn't understand the reason, the emperor's imperial edict had come down, and he could only act in accordance with it!

After all, Fang Xiaoru is not a Beijing official, and does not have a special understanding of the current situation in the court!

However, Fang Xiaoru knew that the imperial court had caused a bloody storm in recent times due to reforms, and the emperor even chopped off the heads of many people!

Even his closest friends are among them!

This also made Fang Xiaoru very angry. When he came to Hanzhong this time, he came full of anger!

Perhaps the reason why the emperor suddenly refused to let him be the prefect and instead came to the Han Dynasty as a teacher was because he was implicated by his friends?

Soon, Zhu Li saw Fang Xiaoru in his study.

In terms of conversation, this old boy is indeed old-fashioned. He is an old-school stereotype. He talks about Confucian principles!

If this old guy didn't really have a few brushes, he wouldn't want to deal with this old guy!

"Mr. Fang, what do you think of the recent reforms advocated by the imperial court?"

Zhu Yue was too lazy to listen to Fang Xiaoru's long speech, so he went straight to the topic.

Fang Xiaoru also knew that the reform was all initiated by the King of Han in the beginning. After all, the reforms in the northwest were quite thorough, and it was entirely due to the words of King Zhu Li of Han!

It can also be said that the reason why Fang Xiaoru behaved so rigidly when seeing Zhu Yue was to express his dissatisfaction with Zhu Yue!

But what he didn't expect was that Zhu Li would directly ask him what he thought about the reform!

Fang Xiaoru was stunned for a while, and then he realized what he was doing!

"I'm sorry, Your Highness the King of Han, but I don't dare to discuss the affairs of the state arbitrarily!"

Fang Xiaoru was still not sure what Zhu Yue's trick was, so she responded with a suspicious look on her face. "I, the king, can speak freely here. You know that I, the king, never pay attention to so many rules!"

Zhu Yue stared at Fang Xiaoru with a half-smile but not a smile. He didn't believe that this old boy would give up the opportunity to criticize reforms in person!

"Forget it, since His Highness the King of Han wants to hear it, then I will tell you the truth!"

"I think that your majesty's repeal of the old laws and advocacy of new policies is just playing the piano randomly, and it will not win the support of the people!"

Fang Xiaoru was indeed a strong-willed person. Let him say that he really dared to say it, and he demoted the emperor to nothing as soon as he opened his mouth!

"How do you know you are unpopular with the people?"

"Did you hear what the people said? How do you know that the people don't like the New Deal?"

Zhu Li asked with raised eyebrows.

"Isn't this obvious?"

"The rules set down by our ancestors, from the emperor to the common people, should be followed!"

"If the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, the Gong Gong princes, had not taken the rules of their ancestors into account, how could they have ended up with their lives in danger?"

Fang Xiaoru snorted disapprovingly, "This idea is really not ordinary stubbornness. Opening your mouth and shutting up are all the rules of your ancestors!"

"You should say these words in front of me. With your temperament, you are no longer suitable to stay in the court today. Reform is the general trend, and the court will be the first step in reform. Your cruelty You are so angry, if His Majesty hears what you just said, I am afraid that the same number of lives will be lost!"

Zhu Li sighed helplessly.

"As a minister, when the king does foolish things, you should rebuke him to the death. This is an eternal truth!"

"If there really is an opportunity to meet the Holy One, Fang Xiaoru will not regret his death, and he will definitely give some advice to the Holy One!"

Fang Xiaoru defended in an excited tone, as if he had put his own death aside!

"Isn't it just to leave a reputation for admonishment?"

"Is reputation really that important? If everyone dies, then there's nothing left!"

Zhu Yue waved his hand, feeling that chatting with this old stubborn man was really too tiring, because he knew that this old guy was indeed not afraid of death, and his words were also very extreme!

Otherwise, he would not have been able to directly destroy the ten tribes in history by Zhu Di!

"Even though your body is dead, your name can be hung on bamboo and silk. What should you be afraid of?"

Fang Xiaoru, on the other hand, stiffened his neck and spoke in a nonchalant voice.

For those who didn’t know, they thought this old guy was going to die generously right away!

"It seems that you really have a big opinion on the reform of the current imperial court?"

Zhu Li stared straight at Fang Xiaoru and found that the old boy's tone was full of resentment and full of gunpowder. It didn't look like a normal discussion of issues at all, but more like a catharsis of emotions!

"Actually... I don't know how the imperial court will reform. I only know that many good people have died because of the reform!"

"My close friend, Li Chun, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, was given a three-foot white silk ribbon by His Majesty indiscriminately last month!"

"If the reform is really so good, why is there so much killing and cruelty?"

Fang Xiaoru snorted coldly.

Hearing this, Zhu Li suddenly realized!

He said that when they met, Fang Xiaoru felt as if he had taken a bullet. So he was complaining for his friend?

"As the saying goes, if you let your subjects die, they will have to die!"

"As long as three feet of white silk or poisonous wine are drunk, you will die anyway. If I were Brother Li, even before I die, I will curse the Holy One for harming the virtuous!"

Fang Xiaoru seemed to be getting more and more enthusiastic as she talked, and even brought herself into the persona of a close friend!

"It's better to accumulate some virtue for yourself!"

"There are many kinds of death. Your Majesty just gave Li Chun a three-foot white silk, which is already extremely gracious!"

"At least Sanchi Bailing and Ci Dujiu died decently, leaving intact corpses!"

"But if you want to kill yourself by talking about it, then you may cut the body into thousands of pieces and feed it to the dogs. That's fine. You really want to hurt your relatives and friends. If you were Li Chun, you would be scolding you very much, but you ask The ancestral grave of the old Li family occupies 500 acres of land, can it be buried here?"

Zhu Yue was speechless immediately. This Fang Xiaoru really deserved to be the one who wanted to destroy the ten clans. It didn't matter that he died, but he also wanted to pack up all the seven aunts and eight aunts and take them away?

"This……"

Fang Xiaoru's body trembled, and his face suddenly stiffened!

Seeing his reaction, Zhu Li also breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, at this time, Fang Xiaoru was not so stubborn as to bring down all the ten clans!

After all, no matter what Zhu Yuanzhang is, he is still orthodox and the founding king.

In his eyes, Zhu Di was a traitor!

From this aspect, Fang Xiaoru can be considered to have integrity!

"Mr. Fang, it's not me who is attacking you!"

"I'm going to give you a good reputation, I'm afraid it's just your delusion!"

"Now that you have arrived in the northwest, you can go out and ask the people in the northwest if they support the reform!"

"To put it bluntly, if the reform is wrong in the future, then you may die to warn yourself and gain a good reputation for yourself, but what if the reform is correct?"

"In the future, when the people live a good life because of the reform, they will only remember you, Fang Xiaoru, as one of the rebellious officials and traitors who opposed the reform!"

Zhu Yue's words made Fang Xiaoru feel deafening and enlightening, and his whole head was buzzing!

Although he is stubborn, he is not blind!

Along the way, we can really see how the people in the northwest are living!

The prosperity of Xi'an Mansion and Hanzhong Mansion shocked him even more!

Was he really wrong?

For a moment, Fang Xiaoru fell into self-doubt!
