Chapter 850 Answers will make mistakes, and escaping is not a shame
Zhu Yijun sat on the Wufeng Tower at Chengtian Gate, looking indifferently at the criminals tied up on the punishment platform. All of these people were to be beheaded and their families were exiled to Java.
In Zhu Yijun's opinion, Hai Rui's virtues were not bad during his lifetime and harmless after his death, because Hai Rui didn't even have a son. Hai Zhongpeng, who inherited the inheritance, was at most an example of the court's grace and honor, and said that the court did not treat him unfairly.
After Hai Rui dies, he will be erected as a moral arch, and everyone will admire him during the holidays, and then do whatever he should do.
For a simple person like Hai Rui, in the end, someone poured dirty water on his head, and there were two consecutive basins. Zhang Liming's Hai Rui was three major mistakes. Yang Wei clamored that public opinion only wanted to overturn the case, so these people were now placed in the Criminal Hall outside Chengtian Gate, and were beheaded for public trial and beheading.
Wu Shilai and his gangsters were pulled back from Liaodong by the emperor and beheaded and displayed in public.
According to Yang Wei's promise, once the water is completely muddy, he will run around for the case of Wu Shilai and make trouble, and then he will investigate and punish those who have been dismissed from office and deprived of fame and fortune in the past 16 years as the General Constitution, and conduct a comprehensive overturn of the case.
Zhu Yijun made a simple calculation. Hai Rui has investigated and dealt with corrupt officials over the years, with more than 40,000.
Among them, there were more than 30,000 officials from Juren, more than 8,000 officials from Jinshi.
Even the four major cases, including Zhang Siwei, are within the scope of overturning the case. Behind Yang Wei, not only the 272 criminals in front of him, but also many accomplices. These people will respond immediately after the wind suddenly rises, including officials, merchants, etc., and Ti rode out of the capital quickly, heading towards all directions, arresting everyone.
272 people, including the head of the case, were executed immediately, and the remaining nearly 2,000 people, and their families exceeded 30,000, will be exiled to Nanyang to supplement the population vacancy in Han townships.
This is enough to be the fifth largest case.
"Sir, these people bully Hai Wenzhong, no one will follow him. When Wan Zongbo died of illness, no one dared to deal with Wan Zongbo like this, because after Wan Zongbo, Shen Zongbo inherited his will. Some people bully Wan Zongbo like this, Shen Zongbo would not sit idly bye, but Hai Wenzhong had no one." Zhu Yijun sat on the Wufeng Tower and talked about his opinion to Zhang Juzheng.
Wan Shihe was a flattering minister, but after Wan Shihe died, no one dared to create wind and public opinion like this, and wanted to knock Wan Shihe down and stink, because the Ministry of Rites was the disciple of Wan Shihe, and even Shen Li, a person with a bone, turned into Wan Shihe.
But Hai Rui himself is too upright and no one has ever carried the banner of integrity again, so someone dares to make trouble like this.
"Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Juzheng's mouth twitched and expressed his views. He finally understood why His Majesty had to put Xiong Tingbi as a closed disciple and live in his Quanchu Guild Hall. This was a passionate feeling.
This is how no successor is. Small families are eaten up and big families are counterattacked. They need children and political heirs.
Zhu Yijun sighed and continued, "A minister like Hai Wenzhong who dares to speak out for advice for three thousand years will only be more than a few years. It is really difficult for someone to succeed. It is obvious that there are problems in his knowledge."
"I think this is a misalignment between the king and father or morality, what do you think?"
After three thousand years, only the pure person like Hai Rui is from the history books. After all, it is indeed very bold to point at the emperor's nose and scold him.
Gao Cheng's kind of person who muttered all day long and asked his subordinates to hit the emperor three times is not counted as a rebellious minister who usurped the throne, not a righteous minister.
Zhu Yijun's dislocation of which is more important, between king and father and morality is actually related to Confucianism.
For example, "The Analects of Confucius·Advanced" says: The so-called ministers are to serve the king with the Tao, and if they cannot, they will stop.
That is to say, being a minister and serving the king with morality does not work, stop because the king is not sure. If he continues, he will be overruled and will also cause the king to be disgusted, which will make the king unable to accept the correct opinions.
This trend of stopping is becoming more and more intense in the Ming and Qing dynasties. In the Qing dynasties, it was even more typosable. The sword of the literary inquisition could cut down the common people and important officials.
For example, Mencius Wanzhang says: If you make mistakes, you will advise; if you repeat them and do not listen, you will leave. If you really don’t listen, don’t advise and leave directly.
This actually reflects the contradiction between the power of the monarch and the power of the ministers. When a minister encounters an emperor who does not listen to advice, he can only passively avoid the lack of active correction. The ministers have no good way to limit the willfulness of the monarch.
In "Xunzi", there is a completely opposite or even a great rebellious statement: follow the Tao but not the king, follow the righteousness but not the father. Morality is above the king and the father, so Xunzi was later expelled from Confucianism.
When Zhang Juzheng heard the emperor discussing this again, he immediately became enlarged. The three words "I am confused" kept flashing in front of his eyes. He looked around and the ministers looked at each other. Obviously, the ministers who had never faced His Majesty's iron hammer directly could not accept His Majesty's inquiry so bluntly.
Only then did the ministers realize that Yuan Fu was not the exclusive lecture banquet! It was clearly that I was alone in taking on this indescribable pressure for everyone!
Can the issue of which is more important, morality or king and father? Isn’t it enough to just shout loyalty!
"Your Majesty, I'm in prison now, why don't you look at the case?" Zhang Juzheng thought for a while and chose to take a look at the escape method mentioned by Emperor Jiantu.
This is a method given by Saint Confucius and Saint Meng. Answering will make mistakes, and escaping is not a shame.
Zhang Juzheng said that morality is important, that is, using the Wanli Reform Heavenly Merit to bully the emperor; Zhang Juzheng said that the king and father are important, that is, that is, the crime of lying with their eyes open and deceive the king.
After all, everyone knows that in Zhang Juzheng's heart, morality is heavier, otherwise there would be no Wanli Reform.
"Sir, it's still the same." Zhu Yijun said with a smile. Zhang Juzheng had reached the limit of a minister, and he was not bold enough to go up.
The case has been investigated clearly. A criminal has been taken to the execution ground. It is said that it is a public trial, but in fact it is a sentence and execution. Zhu Yijun is very clear that this is a suppression. These guys committed an unforgivable crime of treason. There is no need for any punishment to suppress the rebellion. If you click on the list, you will beheaded.
"Take it." Zhu Yijun waved his hand, and the two rows of small yellow goalkeepers Tian Yulunyin passed down layer by layer. The tik cavalry under Chengtian Sect shouted in unison, shaking the sky.
Hai Zhongshi looked at the scene in front of him blankly, until Li Dan's head was cut off and rolled in front of Hai Zhongshi, Hai Zhongshi completely came to his senses. He seemed to have been fooled and caught a trap, and this trap has been planned for a long time.
When did it start?
It has already started the day when Li Dan and Hai Zhongshi were introduced to each other by a friend.
Before that, although Hai Zhongshi didn't think that the reputation was of any use, he never denied Hai Rui's moral nobleness and even took pride in it, because wherever he went, others would look up to him because of Hai Zhongshi's adopted son's identity.
But after a while, someone kept saying in his ear that everything had changed. He didn't know when he thought his father had done too much, too unhuman, too strict, and too straightforward.
Everyone is a colleague, and he looks up and sees him. Why do you have to do this?
Looking back today, Hai Zhongshi suddenly realized that he was actually nothing. If it weren't for his father being Hai Rui, he would be on the execution ground now! He is the one who loses his head!
To a large extent, Hai Zhongshi is also an accomplice. He always thought that he was fighting for family property, but in fact he was involved in a huge political case. As Hai Rui's adopted son, he knew too well that political cases do not follow any laws, and even if they were to be punished by the family, it was reasonable for the clan to be punished.
There are many political cases, such as the four major cases in the early Ming Dynasty.
Hai Zhongshi felt that His Majesty the Emperor on Wufeng Tower looked at him. He hoped that it was an illusion, and immediately hid in the crowd and left quietly.
In fact, after the family property lawsuit, he could still live under the name of Hai Rui's son, because Hai Rui's will did not ask him to change his name back. Hai Rui's idea was to give him a long memory, rather than let him die without a place to bury him.
It was indeed an illusion. Zhu Yijun did not look at Hai Zhongshi. He was confirming that the head fell to the ground and swept across all the execution grounds.
Emperor Zhu Yijun of the Ming Dynasty once again showed his violent side. This rapid and rapid large-scale beheading was once again, which made scholars from all over the Ming Dynasty deeply understand how determined the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was in maintaining the achievements of the Wanli Restoration.
The situation of the struggle is already very clear. If you want to overturn the Wanli New Policy, it will not work until Zhang Juzheng dies. Only by killing the emperor who sits on the throne and holds power can you start a counterattack, otherwise it will be useless.
"The next chapter of the Censorate General Constitution Lu Guangzu and Xin Zixiu don't need to increase the efforts to combat corruption and corruption for this case, but it is necessary to make anti-corruption and corruption a common sense. We must not refuse to resist and arrest." Before leaving Chengtian Gate, Zhu Yijun left important instructions, and the efforts to combat corruption will still be maintained in the past, rather than aggravated.
After the case of Hai Rui’s three major cases broke out, governors from all over the country submitted memorials to express their loyalty and asked the emperor to increase his efforts to fight corruption and demonstrate his determination.
Zhu Yijun did not agree, but maintained the original scope and strength. He still treated some ambiguous cases with mercy and did not intend to double the execution.
The corruption case that Hai Rui did not arrest means that it has far more benefits to the country and the country.
The autumn wind was bleak, and in the 16th year of Wanli, the late autumn gradually entered. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty returned to Wenhua Hall and handled today's memorials.
After the imperial examination in the spring of the 17th year of Wanli and the triumphant victory in the Beijing camp in March, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty would go south again. This was the second southern tour after the 13th year of Wanli, mainly to determine the situation after the split of the southern yamen into three provinces and the effect of returning fields in Zhejiang.
Regarding the emperor's southern tour, Yuan Fu and others expressed their concerns. The first one was the issue of governing the country. Is Lu Wang Zhu Yiliu the governing the country or the eldest son of the emperor Zhu Changzhi?
The King of Lu has grown up, and Empress Dowager Li, Empress Dowager Chen, and Lu himself have the same attitude. The King of Lu can no longer be involved in the power of the state.
The reason why King Lu made such a statement is very simple. It is a temporary measure to supervise the country once. If the country is supervised twice, people will definitely have thoughts that they should not have. King Lu will be involved in the political whirlpool that he is not good at. In short, it is for the sake of his own brother's life, so he asked his own brother to let his younger brother go.
King Lu wanted to follow the emperor to tour the south, but another problem was that Zhu Changzhi was only seven years old and was too young.
The court gave two solutions to postpone the southern tour, and the 17th year of Wanli, and the emperor left the capital again after the eldest son was older. The subtext was that even if the emperor had an accident, the eldest son could succeed the throne;
Or there is no supervision of the country, and the common affairs will be passed on to the hands of the emperor in the Southern Tour.
The second method is undoubtedly the Emperor.
"Is there no better way?" Zhu Yijun looked at the memorial in front of him. Neither of the two methods given by the cabinet were the solutions. Zhu Yijun didn't mind suffering himself, but he did not handle memorials in time on the southern tour. Although many memorials were not serious, they were timely and the longer they were delayed, the bigger the problem.
The Ming Dynasty had long been accustomed to the efficiency of memorials but not nights. It would be difficult for all officials to adapt to this, so the emperor's southern tour may have more harm than good.
"There is only to let King Lu be left behind again, but this will lead to endless troubles." Feng Bao gave another solution that was not a solution. King Lu was reinforcing the country again, which involved an difficult problem. Once the emperor had a problem on his southern tour, would it be King Lu or the eldest son of the emperor Zhu Changzhi who succeeded the throne?
Could it be that the farce of Emperor Yingzong of Ming, Emperor Jing of Ming Xianzong of Ming that year be repeated?
"Then let's postpone it, I'll take a look." Zhu Yijun weighed the three methods and chose not to say it.
In fact, letting King Lu be the governor and the emperor went to the southern tour was the most profitable plan, but at the same time, the risk was the greatest. Even Zhu Yili clearly realized this and directly stated that he wanted to see the charm of Jiangnan. Zhu Yijun chose to wait until the army returned to the court before discussing this matter.
"Who is this Java Shunta Country?" Zhu Yijun looked at a memorial from the Ministry of Rites and felt a little strange. The entire Java territory had been occupied by the Ming Dynasty. It was really strange that a Java Shunta Country appeared at this moment.
Feng Bao took out another memorial from the Ministry of Rites and said: "In the late Southern Song Dynasty, Lu Zili, the son of the left prime minister Lu Xiufu, was established. In the ninth year of Yongle, he once paid tribute with Zheng He's fleet. Later, the official ships no longer traveled to the West, and Shunta Kingdom never came again, mainly because it was impossible to build a large foreign ship."
After the Red Mahogany defeated the King of Manraga, they occupied the Strait of Malacca and established two castles in the east and west of the Dajian of Java. Shunta Kingdom gradually retracted back to the new village, which was the most prosperous. However, with the invasion of the Red Mahogany, the new village could only be closed and self-proclaimed to prevent the infiltration of the Red Mahogany.
After the Ming Dynasty conquered the Malacca Red Hair Fan and recovered Java, Xincun had no idea about what was happening outside.
The Ming Dynasty has been conquering Java for many years, but Xincun still doesn’t know the situation, which is actually very normal at the moment.
The place where Xiangfangshan, Wanping and Laishui in Baoding Prefecture is called "Sanpo", and it was called Yesanpo during the Qing Dynasty. This place is very close to Beijing, but more than a dozen villages in this place are isolated from the world all year round. These more than a dozen villages jointly elected three respectable elderly people to manage. If one person dies, one will be recommended to fill.
After hundreds of years, the Qing Dynasty was destroyed. I didn’t know that this place had been here, and I never shave my head and dressed up.
The same is true for the new village in Shunta Country, Java. After closing the entrance to the mountain road, it is impossible to find a new village without spending time searching. It is also a very accidental opportunity. The stargazing ship of the Ming Dynasty discovered the new village.
The Ming stargazing ship almost fought with the Southern Song survivors. After discovering that they were all Han people, Xincun sent people to Coconut Sea City to express his surrender.
This Shunta Country is the Shunta Country established by Lu Ziyi.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
"The Lu family in Shunta met Han Township and asked the people living in the overseas Chinese to come to Coconut Sea City. This is probably the case." Feng Bao briefly summarized the situation.
"Accurate, but tell clearly that you must abide by the laws of the Ming Dynasty and do not do evil." Zhu Yijun and Zhu approved the memorial, saying that the survivors of the Southern Song Dynasty must live in a new village isolated from the world. They can continue to be survivors of the Southern Song Dynasty, but they must live in Han towns in the Coconut Sea City, recognize their identity as a Ming Dynasty, and abide by the laws of the Ming Dynasty.
"This is natural." Feng Bao bowed his head and said.
In fact, since the descendants of the Lu family made such a memorial, Xincun could not hold on anymore. If they did not communicate with the outside world, they would probably learn from the Southern Song survivors of Governor Jifu's office and quietly perished in the long river of history.
This is the second time Zhu Yijun heard the story of the remnants of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Governor General's Office and the Shunta State of Java.
Lu Zili escaped to Luzon first, but soon the Yuan army chased Lu Zili, and Lu Zili had to continue to go south and escape to Shunta, Java.
In the late Southern Song Dynasty, when the sky collapsed and the earth broke, it was self-evident how terrible it was.
For Thais, Rome is a legend, and for East Asia, China's living father is still alive.
"In the southwest direction, the Mengyang Xuanwei Department was re-established and changed to Mengyang Prefecture, opening up the trade route to the Bay of Bengal." Zhu Yijun received the battle report from the southwest direction.
The Ming Dynasty established a Xuanwei Office, which was the same as the Mubang Mansion at the time. It was a place where the chieftains, local governments, and Qian Duke Mansion were both managed, similar to the territory.
Since the war started in the 12th year of Wanli, it has been four years since the war started. The current situation on the battlefield has no longer had large-scale wars, but the situation of the two sides cutting each other with small swords has been continuing, which can be said to be a bloody sword. Every battle will cause Dongyu to suffer a great loss.
The population, livestock and territory are shrinking.
The way of teaching lessons in the Ming Dynasty was to completely eliminate Dongyu, without any mercy.
"It's just four years, let's continue fighting." Zhu Yijun felt it didn't matter. Until now, Yunnan has not requested the hinterland to turn over food and grass, which shows that the war is not tense. This kind of knife cuts the flesh really hurts. Dongxu's Mangyingli has been asking for peace several times in a row, but has not received any response.
Mang Yingli decided the beginning of the war and the Ming Dynasty decided the end of the war, which was very reasonable and fair.
"It's a bit strange. After so long, Mang Yingli has held on. Oda Nobunaga chose to commit suicide." Zhu Yijun talked about the situation in Touo. Mang Yingli actually blocked the offensive in the fourth year of the Ming Dynasty! Even Oda Nobunaga persisted for less than three years before choosing to commit suicide.
"Isn't this the Ming Dynasty refused to let Dongxu surrender?" Feng Bao was a little helpless. This was not the long-term resistance of the rebellious and he was very tough in his attitude and refused to surrender. He could only fight and look for opportunities for peace talks.
Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said, "I don't mean that, what I mean, why is he still alive? Those Burmese thieves under his command did not take his life. Come and fight for peace talks?"
Feng Bao thought for a while and said, "Then arrange for him to die?"
Zhu Yijun shook his head: "What do I want his head to do? I want Dongxu to never have the ability to disturb the Ming border again."
"It is precisely because the Ming Dynasty doesn't want it, so he is still alive. If the Ming Dynasty is tired or annoyed, ask the Burmese thieves to ask for the head of the rebellious response, so the Burmese thieves can have something to hand over to the court." Feng Bao explained the reason.
Dongxu wished the Ming Dynasty wanted Mang Yingli's head, which meant that the war was about to end.
At that time, the Burmese thieves went to the Duke of Qian to kowtow and call their father. This matter would have passed. It has been like this for so many years, from the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty to the Wanli period.
It is not a shame to kowtow and call him dad, after all, I have been calling him for so many years.
Unfortunately, this time I met a very persistent emperor and insisted on fighting until the Burmese thieves completely disappeared from the southwest of the Ming Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, the reason why we are still fighting now is that there are two things, one is jade, which is stone in Myanmar and in the heart of the Ming Dynasty, but it is more expensive than gold; the second is wood, high-end mahogany and teak. The Ming shipbuilding industry is very needed, especially some expensive pleasure boats, which are all made of teak." Feng Bao explained the difference between the Ming Dynasty's war against Dongshu this time and the past.
In the past, the Ming Dynasty did not continue to fight southwest because it had no economic value. The tropical rainforest was full of trees and it was difficult to farm. Because the rainy season was too long, the traditional craftsmanship of burning waste was not good and there was no value in development.
The purpose of the past war was mainly for admonition, so it was repeated over and over again.
This time it is very different. The Myanmar jade and timber business has made the offense no longer simply consume food and grass. The huge gap in the shipbuilding industry has made Yunnan's related industries extremely developed.
The prisoners of Dongzhaoyi were captured and arranged for the barbarians to log and mine as force labor. After processing the wood, they went down the Wujiang River and headed south along the Yangtze River in Chongqing Prefecture until the Nanya and Songjiang Prefecture used for shipbuilding. They brought various goods from the hinterland back to Chongqing Prefecture and loaded them into Yunnan respectively.
"Wait, I understand. The Ming army has grown from the jade mine. Is that true?" Zhu Yijun sorted out Feng Bao's analysis and came to a simple and easy-to-understand conclusion.
It was the same as the Ming Dynasty's war against Japan. Before, I didn't know that Japan had silver mountains. Even the King of the Japanese Emperor and the General of the Conquering the Wild were not very clear. Now Japan has silver mines. After the Ming Dynasty opened the sea, it was very short of silver.
Feng Bao bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty is wise."
"It's useless for them to keep these jadeites. They can process them and have no market. In the end, they will be sold to the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty. It's better to let the Ming army station and mining be more stable. This is also for their own good and save the price of jadeites."
"Now because of the jade and wood business, merchants in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty are willing to go to Yunnan, which has driven the development of Yunnan, so the battle is not in a hurry to end."
This is: it is easy to plan for governance of strong people, but it is difficult to plan for weak people.
Also shrouded in the shadow of the Ming Dynasty was Annan Kingdom. Annan was once again in civil strife. While the four companies were fighting, the imported rice exported to the Ming Dynasty this year hit a new high. War requires money and weapons. Then the stolen rice and grain are used to export for cheap weapons from the Ming Dynasty, and internal strife continues.
Zhu Yijun handled a batch of memorials, most of which came from Nanyang. Zhang Yuanxun said that he had built three more Han towns and cultivated 40,000 hectares of land. Yin Zhengmao reported that they found a silver mine with an annual output of 500,000 taels of silver, and built a Han town with a cultivation of more than 20,000 hectares of land. The demands of the two memorials were the same, and there was a shortage of people.
The exiled personnel cannot fill these gaps.
"As soon as the two governors reported, they would ask me for people, where would I go to make a big change for them? As soon as several governors from Fujian, Jiangxi, Huguang, and even Henan reported, they would scold the Governor's Office for being greedy and lacking people. Do they lack people?" Zhu Yijun found that this emperor was always in such a dilemma, and his palms and backs were full of flesh. Zhu Yijun really had no one, so he coordinated with the Governor's Office.
"Your Majesty, Shandong has the smallest population in recent years." Feng Bao said very carefully: "Wang Yie, the governor of Wang, has no problem with character. Originally, Shandong is full of horses, but in recent years, there have been very few people who have migrated to Liaodong."
Population outflow is a very critical barometer. If people do not run out, either the local area is completely prohibited from migration or it is well developed. Shandong has a road, a port and a canal, and it cannot be resisted. For example, Fujian, Fujian also has a road guide system.
People from Shandong do not go to Liaodong, Nanya, or overseas. This itself means that Wang Yie, the governor, did a good job, and his relationship with Xu Jie can be turned on. The court officials also considered this factor back then and did not allow His Majesty to value it. His Majesty appointed people based on their merits and activated Wang Yie.
The most passive case from Yang Wei and Wu Shi was Wang Yie. He did a good job in Shandong, and disaster came from heaven. Some censors even began to impeach Wang Yie on the grounds of "being an old disciple of Xu Jie". When encountering such impeachment, Wang Yie could not argue with him, so he could only submit a report to retire. Even Feng Bao couldn't stand it anymore and said a few words to Wang Yie.
Feng Bao’s standards for judging people are very clear, it depends on whether he is loyal or not. If he is loyal to His Majesty, he is a good minister. If he is not loyal to His Majesty, he is also a treacherous minister.
Wang Yie was undoubtedly loyal. He completed the things that His Majesty had given him very well. If he lost the holy family because of this storm, it would be a pity.
"I understand." Zhu Yijun recognized Feng Bao's suggestions. Feng Bao knew him very well and knew that he was extremely vigilant towards scholars.
Wang Yie did not connect with Yang Wei. If he had really happened this time, Wang Yie might have been on the way to exile Jinchi at this time. As a third-rank official, as long as Wang Yie was not the mastermind, he would not be sentenced to death if he was not the mastermind.
"Henan and Shandong both asked for orders to carry out Yingzhuang Law. If you can't repay the land, the Yingzhuang Law will be just right." Feng Bao sorted out the relevant memorials and placed them in front of His Majesty. For the problem of no one, the only way to give the Ming Dynasty is Yingzhuang Law.
Of course, returning the fields is better, but in many places, there is no condition for returning the fields.
"Acceptance, I would like to remind all governors to remember not to be too hasty." After reading these memorials, Zhu Yijun finally chose to allow it. The Yingzhuang Law was implemented in Jiangxi well. At least the three counties of Ninghua, Ningdu, Ruijin. In just two years, there was a saying that "farming is diligent, and the people are prosperous, and the people are safe." Even more marriages have been made.
It is very simple for the people to have children. When they see the land, the means of production, and the hope of life, they will naturally not resist.
