Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 255 Let Jiangnan Celebrities Go to the West

In the hot summer season, the days are long and the nights are short, and the streets of Jinling City are baked by the scorching sun. Liu Kongzhao, the admiral in charge of public security in Nanjing, is pulling carts of grain or other daily necessities to and from the major shops and houses in Jinling City, and every day When you come to a house, you have to ask what kind of loss it suffered during the parade, whether it was injured or died because of it.

According to the instructions of His Majesty Zhu Youxiao, the scholars and officials who participated in the parade will be severely punished, their family property will be confiscated, and their relatives and friends will be imprisoned. However, for ordinary people, if they are robbed or beaten to death during the parade, they will be given special compensation; Even those who were deceived into participating in the parade and even collided with the officers and soldiers of the court were forgiven, and even the families of the casualties could receive condolences.

After all, the suppression of the parade has already been bloody enough. If it gets worse, Zhu Youxiao is not sure whether the imperial court can really occupy the hearts of the people in Jiangnan.

On the one hand, Zhu Youxiao published a long editorial in Daming Daily that forgives the people, and the responsibility lies with corrupt officials and people with ulterior motives who intend to hijack the common people and mess up the world. It is pointed out that the pension money is issued by the Royal Weaving Bureau and the Royal Industries Company, which they have repeatedly proposed to ban, and the cash is directly withdrawn from the Royal Bank.

It is to let the people realize that the Royal Weaving House and the Royal Industrial Company, which were explained by the scholar-bureaucrats as sharp weapons to scrape the people, are not scourges, but really benefit the people and are beneficial to the people.

As soon as the notice came out, public opinion was in an uproar, and the royalists all cried bitterly, expressing their gratitude to His Majesty today. When Liu Kongzhao and others who were in charge of distributing the sympathy money and food were sent to the hands of the people in each household, many people also burst into tears.

In the past, if they fought against the imperial court like this, they would be wiped out, but now His Majesty the Emperor has forgiven them, which shows that the Emperor still loves the people, and Daming did not abandon them.

"Since Your Majesty can forgive the crimes of common people, should you forgive the crimes of Confucian scholars? Wang Siren, Chen Jiru, etc. are all famous scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, and they have always been elegant. There is no crime of blasphemy against the Holy Majesty, please be generous to the Holy Majesty!"

But there are always people who say irrelevant things inappropriately. In the court hall, Wang Zhengzhi, the right servant of Nanjing household department, made such remonstrance to Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao immediately stood up and shouted: "Presumptuous! It's not up to you, the right servant of the household department, to talk about what I want to do with them! Someone, pull this person down and chop him up!"

All the ministers were shocked. They did not expect His Majesty to become so enraged suddenly, and he was about to kill Wang Zhengzhi, the right servant of the household department. Wang Zhengzhi himself looked at His Majesty in puzzlement, and murmured: "Your Majesty, I just, I just think."

"It's just what I think, whether I am the emperor or you are the emperor, I didn't ask you how to deal with Wang Siren and other famous people in the south of the Yangtze River. What does it have to do with you? You, a household official, are meddling in your business. Don't say any more, just drag it on!"

Zhu Youxiao beckoned, and it was the people from the two Jinyiwei who delayed the Nanjing Household Minister Zuo Shilang Wang Zhengzhi to the next period, and Wang Zhengzhi himself yelled that he was wronged. Isn't it normal to remonstrate with the emperor? Why did His Majesty suddenly say So furious.

Li Mingrui couldn't help but secretly smiled, and Wang Yongguang, Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, did not stand up to intercede. As they are familiar with the rules of the court, they naturally understand that the fundamental reason why His Majesty treats scholars and common people differently in this parade is that His Majesty today Tighten the power of the monarchy to suppress the power of civil servants, but at the same time, we must show kindness to the people, so that the people in the south of the Yangtze River will not be angry with Daming because of the court's brutal suppression of the parade, and even raise the banner of rebellion.

Some civil servants just fixed their thinking in their previous habits, thinking that as long as they didn't insult Junfu, they could force Junfu to act according to their will.

But with the suppression of officials at all levels and the killing of Wang Zhengzhi in the court, the officials also began to realize that there is no way to confront His Majesty now, and the only thing they can do is to obey.

"Your Majesty, Wang Siren and others have always regarded themselves very highly, thinking that they have good morals, so they can criticize the current situation and point out the country. Even in their eyes, even Your Majesty, you are no more arrogant than them, and your arrogance can be seen;
But from my humble point of view, it would be a pity to kill them all together. Let's not say that they have a great influence in this area of ​​Jiangsu and Zhejiang, not to mention their disciples and old officials, and they have done one or two good deeds to benefit the villagers. It’s just that they are all well-educated people, and they have cost me countless money from the beginning of my studies to acquire this knowledge. It would be a pity not to let them sell their goods to the emperor’s house;

According to my ministers, it is better to let them feed back to the people, exile for three thousand miles, and go to the barbarian land to teach and reform. Back then, the Xinjian Hou Wang Wencheng was able to quell the chaos of King Ning, which was related to his relegation to Longyang. Yang, so that the local students began to become polite and eager to learn, and their hearts were for the king! "

He also pleaded for Wang Siren's Jiangnan celebrity, but Li Mingrui's method was much better than Wang Zhengzhi's. It's about standing on Daming's side.

Seeing Zhu Youxiao nodded with approval on his face, the not-so-stupid ministers naturally understood how to get along with His Majesty the current emperor, and knew what kind of officials the current Emperor likes.

"Li Qing is right. In the final analysis, these people are not serious evil. They are not traitors and thieves. Like the Donglin Party, they try to control the government and have bad intentions. But these people are also stubborn and pedantic. There is only his literary death and military death battle!

As everyone knows, where would he abandon the king in this way!It's a pity to kill them all, I'm not the kind of person who has to kill them all, my Daming is not a barbarian country that doesn't eat all grains, and since they really care about Daming and want to relieve the worries of the emperor , I will also help them, let them go to Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Guangdong and Guangxi!
These people have been in the study for a long time, so naturally they only know how to find the way to govern the country in the Four Books and Five Classics, but they don't know that the way to govern the country lies in the people, in the firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, how many people can be educated, With a big heart in mind, loyal to the king and love the people!Let them go to the backcountry to make a good renovation! "

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao decreed to set up a Confucian Scholars Going to the Countryside Reconstruction Group, and Li Mingrui directly served as the group leader, who was fully responsible for the exile of offending officials, juzi, students, and children from the Jiangnan area to Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Qin and Jin Dynasties. , Liaodong and other places to go to the countryside for transformation.

Li Mingrui's administrative ability is also very strong, and he organized the team within three days. Among the members, there are rites and officials from the two capitals, as well as political envoys, counselors and vice-presidents transferred from the west and north. Envoys and other officials, and within five days, it was determined that Confucian scholars would be temporarily sent to serve as prefectural or county school teaching.
