Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 117
Fengtian Temple.

The civil officials were very angry. They were literati who had read poetry and books.Talented and learned, he is the head of a hundred Confucian scholars.

It is a contempt for oneself and an insult to Confucianism to let them pay food with those vulgar people who cannot read.

Zhu Biao stood aside, listening to these civil servants.

I really admire them, it is enough to elevate officials and gentry to disrespect Confucianism.

Officials and gentry pay food, only the founding of the country is the easiest to implement.

In the late Ming Dynasty, the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River became very stubborn landowners.With the corrupt and chaotic tax and service system, the common people became the serfs of the gentry.

The gentry relied on privileges such as tax exemption to annex land, and politically used "community" to form parties for private interests, which became the political connection between the imperial court and the localities.

Entering can be an official, leaving can be a gentry, and they are integrated with each other, so as to interfere with the policies of the imperial court and local governments.In the end, the imperial court's financial resources were exhausted, and taxes were grafted on to the people, causing an uprising.

Everything needs to be established in the founding of the country, and the methods should be tougher and more brutal. Economic reform also needs a clear main line, suppressing mergers, and equalizing the land.

The Manchu Qing successfully implemented the gentry to pay food and errands as a whole, and it was they who realized the economic ideal of Confucian egalitarianism with brutal force.

Everything has advantages and disadvantages. In this way, the ability of farmers to resist natural disasters will be poor, and the main task of irrigation, maintenance and disaster relief is the court.

Zhu Biao thinks this is not a problem.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say."

"Say!" Old Zhu's voice was like a bell, and he looked straight at Zhou Qing, the imperial censor of the capital procuratorate.

Zhou Qing swallowed his saliva, straightened his neck and said: "It is very inappropriate for the government and the gentry to pay for the grain together. Please take it back."

"Your Majesty, some people in the city say...that Your Majesty is a robber and peasant who kills the rich and helps the poor. Don't disregard the emperor's face, Your Majesty."

The person who spoke was a civil official from Huaixi. He coughed and motioned for Li Shanchang, but Li Shanchang did not say anything at this time, just like he was in meditation.

Old Zhu laughed out loud, and cast a cold glance at all civil and military officials: "That's right, we were originally civilians, and the generals who fought against us were all peasants.

This is our fate, we are destined to fight the world, we are destined to rob the rich and help the poor. "

Li Shanchang observed the situation, the Huaixi military general did not say a word, even the old guy Liu Bowen did not move.

Based on his understanding of His Majesty, he had done his best to help the civil servants a few days ago, but now he is quietly.

Wang Guangyang also softened now.

"The minister has something to show His Majesty."

Hearing the sound, the ministers turned their heads and looked back.

Just as he saw the civil servants in official uniforms and gauze hats coming out of the line of ministers, his feet slipped and he prostrated himself on the ground in the next second.

Zhu Biao knew this person, named Sun Yong, who was a supporter of the Confucian family, and it was he who asked someone to invite Song Lian to Song Lian's hometown.

Sun Yong rolled and scrambled, his voice wailing, he was more sad than his dead mother, and he kowtowed.

Lao Zhu didn't even look at him, and didn't even lift his eyelids.

Zhu Biao said: "Sun Yong, what's wrong with you."

"Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness, don't break the saint's etiquette." Sun Yong looked at Zhu Biao and said, "If the officials and gentry pay the food, the minister...the minister can only show his will by death."

Seeing that no one paid any attention to him, Sun Yong was very ashamed and angry, he pulled out a roll of portraits from his sleeve, and unfolded them with a clatter.

The civil servants were in an uproar, but the generals didn't respond for a long time.

"Sun Yong, what do you mean by inviting Confucius out?" Old Zhu's expression changed.

This old Confucian family is the teacher of scholars all over the world, so when Sun Yong moved out the statue of Confucius, the civil servants had to bow down to the statue of Confucius.

Sun Yong's meaning is very clear, who dares to touch Confucian officials!
Seeing Lao Zhu's complexion changed, Sun Yong thought it worked.

Seeing the portrait of Lao Kong, Xu Da also became dissatisfied.

Zhu Biao understood that Sun Yong was in trouble.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, this contemporary Yan Shenggong was trying to please both sides, he wanted to curry favor with the Northern Yuan court, and he also wanted to rely on Daming.

When the Wu army (Ming army) arrived at their door, Kong Xixue, the 56th grandson of Confucius, the Duke of Xifeng Yan Sheng, heard that the army had arrived, and immediately came out and surrendered.

The magistrate of Qufu has always been hereditary by the descendants of the Confucius family.But in the face of the army, the Kong family did not have the idea of ​​living and dying with the country.

They sell goods to many emperors.

Old Zhu squinted his eyes. At first, he took the initiative to show his favor to the Confucius family because of the vast and long-standing Dao of Zhongni, which merged with the heaven and the earth.

In order to express his sincerity, Xu Da, who was in Shandong, went to Qufu in person to persuade Yan Shenggong to go to Nanjing to meet him.

Yan Sheng Gong Kong Kejian thought that Emperor Yuan Shun was still in Dadu.Although he took the initiative to pay the Ming army for the Northern Expedition, he didn't want to have too much involvement with Lao Zhu.

At that time, the Confucian family felt that the Yuan Dynasty had not yet been defeated.

Xu Da was also very angry when he saw the portrait of Lao Kong.

He went to see him in person, but Kong Kejian said that he was sick, so he just asked his son Kong Xixue to meet him in a hurry.

His son of a bitch, Kong Kejian, he still doesn't know about those flamboyant things.

I personally sent that Kong Xixue to Nanjing to see him, so that the Kong family, the son of a bitch, can experience the majesty of the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

What garlic!Sick, real or fake?If you pretend to be sick, I will send you to Nanjing, and you will recover sooner.

Sun Yong still wanted to speak, but Lao Zhu strode forward with a dark face and kicked Sun Yong far away.

Old Zhu gritted his teeth tightly, with indescribable contempt on his face, he smiled at Sun Yong and said, "These ten Confucians are no match for our destiny, not to mention which dynasty you are from! "

The faces of the other civil servants changed drastically.

Sun Yong yelled and said: "My colleagues, what are you talking about, what did you say yesterday, and we swear to live and die together."

Everyone coughed twice, bowed their heads and stopped talking.

"Who said the people are the most precious?" Old Zhu walked up to Li Shanchang and said, "Prime Minister Li, tell me."

"Cough... Cough. Your Majesty, I feel a little uncomfortable today, feeling dizzy."

Old Zhu patted Li Shanchang on the shoulder, and said with concern: "Let Dai Sigong show you your illness in a while, and he will be cured if you are sick."

"Thank you for your concern." Li Shanchang laughed.

Sun Yong was lying on the ground, trembling at the moment, just now he threatened to cancel the payment of the officials and gentry with death, but now he was too frightened to mention it again.

Lao Zhu glanced at Sun Yong, and said to the officials, "Who wants to say anything?"

The civil servant didn't say a word.

Xu Da and Chang Yuchun said in unison: "Your Majesty, it is a good thing for the common people that the officials and gentry pay the grain, and the stalls go to the mu, and I agree with it."

Zhou Qing said: "Your Majesty shouldn't confront your grandson..."

"Zhou Qing, you said you were addicted? Who did that to your face." Zhu Biao stared at him intently.

"His Royal Highness, you..."

Zhu Biao motioned to Muying, then got some papers, glanced at Sun Yong, and began to read the things on the papers.

"Sun Yong, when you were still in charge of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs last February, you received a set of the Four Treasures of the Study from Li Yuan's family in the east of Nanjing City, which are famous inkstones and pens.

Not long after he was promoted this year, he bought a mansion worth 460 taels.

Last May, your descendants and a prostitute died in Nianhualou on the Qinhuai River, and you quietly settled them down.

Your father, Sun Dajian, forcibly bought a teenage girl.Oh, the jade pendant on your body was given to you by the owner of a famous jade shop in Nanjing yesterday. Why did he give it to you? "

Zhu Biao presented the paper to Lao Zhu.

Sun Yong, who was originally full of anger, now became colder and colder as he listened, his back was sweating, how did His Highness know.

With a livid face, Lao Zhu crumpled the paper and threw it in front of Sun Yong, saying, "Put Sun Yong down and wait for his release."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Sun Yong was dragged out crying.

Outside Fengtian Hall.

Zhu Biao called Zhou Yushi to stop: "I heard that you like to sneak around birds, your birds are not cheap ~ Gu go first."

Zhou Qing looked at Zhu Biao's back, gasping for breath, he had to go back and deal with the pet bird.
