Chapter 297 Even the shit basins think he smells bad
Yu Dayou said that base Confucians would not be allowed to enter the army, and the Ming Emperor immediately agreed. In military matters, Zhu Yijun attached great importance to the opinions of generals because Ming Dynasty had experienced similar things. .
During the Hongwu period, Xu Da threw the humble Confucians into the army and got rid of all his bad habits. However, after Xu Da and Zhu Yuanzhang passed away one after another, this method immediately became ineffective. Well, the most typical one is Jianwen Jun Zhu Yunwen.
Zhu Yunwen also filled the army with unscrupulous scholars. Zhu Yuanzhang could control it, but Zhu Yunwen could not. Many affairs in the army began to deteriorate rapidly. These scholars were all crooked and frivolous, and they showed off their power in the army. , relying on the emperor's emphasis on literati, he became even more unscrupulous.
The Eight Hundred Iron Forest Army of the Yan Palace started out and won many battles. The more people fought, the more people fought. The Ming army suppressed the Yan Palace and suffered repeated defeats. It is true that the military talent of King Yan Zhu Di was powerful, but there were also It is related to the tacit understanding between the government and the army.
These scholars are like stinking shit in the army. The combat effectiveness of the army is declining rapidly. The soldiers and generals are working hard on the front line. The ones who take the credit are these big leaders. That’s okay. These The big guy was still dragging his feet behind.
Absolutely.
For example, on April 23rd of the fourth year of Jianwen, the officers and soldiers came out from a victorious battle. Their morale was high, but King Zhu Di of Yan was on the verge of having to retreat. Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai and others in the court told Jianwenjun said: Yan's troops have already gone north, and Huizu should be summoned to return. The old incident at Chenqiao must be guarded against.
Of course Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai had people in the army. They said they had received a secret report that King Yan had returned to the north after being defeated. It would be appropriate to recall Xu Huizu, who had won the battle, otherwise there would be another yellow robe, Chen What to do about the Bridge Mutiny?
Jianwenjun agreed with what the two said and recalled Xu Huizu, which made He Fu unable to support himself alone. In the Battle of Lingbi, the army was defeated.
Jianwenjun's situation was over, and Prince Yan's palace went directly south to the capital and became the emperor.
This is the bad consequence of this cheap scholar participating in the military plane. This is also the reason why Yu Dayou objects. It is definitely a good idea to throw these cheap scholars into the military for training, but it must be able to control these dogs. Things, otherwise these guys will only play a negative role in the military.
Rong affairs are important affairs of the country and must be done with caution.
What is more interesting is that in the eyes of some courtiers, it is strange that Wan Shihe can survive to this day.
Wan Shihe was born in the Jin Party, but he had a very close relationship with the Zhejiang Party and the Chu Party, and even sometimes played the role of peacemaker. This kind of wallflower will definitely be ignored by both parties when encountering major events. The party attacked simultaneously and ultimately lost its political life.
But Wan Shihe lived very well in the court.
He became the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and then became the Heavenly Official in the Ministry of Personnel. He did not care about the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel all day long, and pointed out the etiquette and law every day, focusing on an abstraction.
It is said that Wan Shihe is a fence-sitter. In fact, Wan Shihe has always been an imperialist who can no longer be firm. He acts as an imperialist in the government, and the foundation for his unbreakable standing is the emperor.
Wan Shihe had a reverent heart. He knew that his abilities were limited, and the administration of officials was the core of the power of the country. He became the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, but Wan Shihe never changed the rules of the Ministry of Personnel, leaving His Majesty Take charge of personnel power, and then seek shelter and live with His Majesty.
This is Wan Shihe's way of survival, live well, live prosperously, and live out his own style.
Wan Shihe had dirty information about Xu Jie in his hands. When the direction of the court was unclear and the emperor did not make a clear statement, Wan Shihe chose to ask first. If the emperor was not prepared to let Xu Jie die now, what would Wan Shihe do? I don't intend to let the newspapers stir up public opinion. If His Majesty intends to let Xu Jie die now, then he can report it.
The identity of anonymous informants is really useful. It is also an important tool for Wan Shihe to control public opinion.
"Send it up." Zhu Yijun attached great importance to Wan Shihe's memorial. After opening it, he read the entire memorial and then fell silent. After Zhu approved it, he handed it to Feng Bao to face Wan Shihe. He said: "Report it."
Lü Tiaoyang took the memorial and read it for a long time, handed it to Wang Chonggu, breathed out, closed his eyes and rested.
"Is this old man crazy?" After Wang Chonggu read it, his expression changed dramatically and he handed the memorial out.
“I have also heard about this Huishantang in Nanya.” Hai Rui expressed his opinion after reading the memorial. He said sadly: “I originally thought that it was Xu Jie seeking fame, but I didn’t expect it. It’s for profit.”
After reading it, Wang Guoguang and Zhang Xueyan passed the memorial on again with a look of horror on their faces.
Huishantang, with a total of seven branches in Songjiang Prefecture and a total of 16 branches in Nanya 14th Prefecture, benefited more than 67,000 people in 23 years, and finally lived to There are only 130 or 40 people who have matured into adulthood. In the past 23 years, the survival rate has been less than three thousandths.
At the foot of Yufeng Mountain in Kunshan, there is a Huishan Hall, which provides charity and supports children. After the memorial arch of the Huishan Hall, the terrain suddenly rises. This is the largest mass grave in Kunshan, with a trampled The path out leads to a small tower. If you follow the path, you can reach this lonely little tower.
The small pagoda is about three feet long. It is made of rough-hewn stones that are stacked randomly to form a square shape. The stone pagoda is conical with a pit inside.
The small pagoda is piled up against the mountain, with blue sky and white clouds, and tombs all around. It looks a bit simple and elegant, but as soon as you get closer, you can smell a disgusting smell, and some baskets are thrown very casually inside and outside the pagoda. , these baskets contained bits and pieces of carrion, and the entrance of the stone tower could only accommodate the size of a basket, with dead children inside.
There is one abandoned baby tower not far from every Huishan Hall.
The stench in those stone towers was so bad that even animals did not dare to approach them. Even the babies who were thrown in to soak in manure did not dare to approach these animals.
The reason why the survival rate is less than two thousandths is not just that Huishan Tang raised the children to death.
According to reports from people familiar with the matter, Huishantang’s rule is that all deformed animals will be killed. If not, all deformed animals will be raised. When they are about nine years old, they will start to be sold. The jargon is to sell them.
Ren Yazi from Renya Shop comes to Huishan Hall to purchase goods, and the children in Dashantang, boys and girls with slightly better looks, will be sold at this time, and the remaining crooked melons and jujubes will be sold. , the women were sold to poor families, and the men were castrated and made slaves.
There were many eunuch slaves in the south of the Yangtze River. During the Chongzhen period, many slaves in the south of the Yangtze River rebelled. The slaves rebelled and killed their masters and their sons with knives.
Obviously, Huishan Tang is a business, and it is an extremely dirty business.
"Wan Dazai, who revealed this to Wan Dazai? Does Xu Jie know about this?" Zhu Yijun frowned and asked in a bad tone.
Wan Shihe bowed his head and said: "A person with knowledge of the matter revealed it to me. He is Renyazi from Renya Xing. I asked Songjiang Inspector to visit him, and he did not make it up."
< br>
"As for whether Xu Jie knows, I think he knows. The sixteen locations of Huishan Hall are everywhere in hell. He just doesn't know. Let's do some accounting. Xu Jie doesn't know that Huishan Hall makes so much money. Even if you don’t ask, you know in your heart what the deal is.”
Wan Shihe didn’t believe Xu Jie. People can lie, but money can’t. With so much money, Xu Jie took a look at Huishantang. He will know the ledger.
“I thought he was just greedy for profit.” Zhu Yijun said with a complex expression.
When Zhu Yijun left the Yicheng Prefecture, he told Zhang Juzheng that even if he speculated on Confucianism with the greatest malice, he would still overestimate the lower limit of Confucianism. This sharp boomerang, He hit Zhu Yijun hard.
Zhu Yijun has tried his best to speculate that they were evil, but he still underestimated the evil they did.
Does Xu Jie still need someone to hold the shit basin for him? Even the shit basin thinks he smells bad.
Wang Chonggu is a businessman who likes to make money, and he is also very good at making money. However, when he goes to do business outside the Great Wall, he always has his head in his belt. It is true that he made a lot of money, but the money Xu Jie made was really unconscionable.
The money earned by Shanxi merchants is also conscience-breaking money, but the amount of money Xu Jie earns is really jaw-dropping.
"He still has the nerve to flaunt himself as a decent person. How can a decent person earn this kind of money?" Lu Tiaoyang had read Tiqi's Tang newspaper. Xu Jie said that he was a decent person and had not touched any evil business. , but what he did himself was also very evil.
Wan Shihe judged that Xu Jie must have known about it. Huishantang was originally a matter of supporting the people and gaining a good reputation. However, Huishantang has earned more than 500,000 taels of silver in more than 20 years. Xu Jie It's impossible not to know, even if no one reported it, how could someone like Xu Jie not guess it?
"I remember that when my husband was giving me a banquet, he once talked about how to kill a chicken with an ox-dagger. I said to him: A gentleman is the one who governs people. If a gentleman does evil, the country will be in great evil; if a gentleman does good, then the country will be in great good. This is what I mean. : A gentleman learns the Tao and loves others."
"Learn the Tao and love others." Zhu Yijun repeated, his expression became a little sad.
Xu Jie is the former chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty!
He is greedy by nature and uses his power to benefit himself. This is generally the case in this world. Anyone who has some power wants to realize it. It is not unusual for Xu Jie to use his power to make money when he is in power. But why do you even need to make such dirty money? He was proficient in Confucianism and Taoism, learned Chinese style, became a Jinshi, became the first minister, and became the leader of the country. Is this how he learned Taoism and loved others?
"This matter of Huishantang is to break the casserole and get to the bottom of it. Xu Jie sold this person, and this person has to thank Xu Dashan for his great kindness!" Hai Rui looked at him with an expression on his face. He said with great contempt.
According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Jie cannot be convicted because Xu Jie made money in this business but did not commit a crime.
As soon as Hai Rui spoke, the courtiers came to their senses. In this process, Xu Jie fulfilled his reputation as a great benefactor. Those parents who handed over their children to Huishantang probably knew about their children. This business has been going on for hundreds of years. Due to natural and man-made disasters, the people who have lost their land cannot even support themselves, let alone their children. Even if they know that their children will be doing nothing if they enter Huishantang, it is better than following them. It's much better if the parents don't survive.
The parents of these children, these children, need to be grateful to Xu Jie, because Xu Jie raised their children.
What crime was used to convict Xu Jie? Xu Jie did not buy or sell by force. His parents took the initiative to send them to Huishan Hall. Xu Jie did not criticize them too harshly. Those children in the abandoned baby tower, They were either deformed or seriously ill, and many of them had only a short time to live. Huishantang just abandoned those children who died in the Abandoned Infant Tower again. The first to abandon the children were their parents!
Poor parents in the world.
Who told parents to send their children there even though they knew Hui Shan Tang was a place that would eat people without spitting out their bones?
Who makes these parents lose their land and make them homeless?
The six words "the world is trapped in annexation" were placed in front of the emperor with bloody reality.
In the thirty-fifth year of Jiajing reign, Zhang Juzheng, who held an official position, was worshiped by the people, and traveled around the mountains and rivers, became more and more restless as he walked, and the more he looked at him, the more frightened he became. He resolutely returned to the court. Above the hall, it is because of these six words.
Zhang Juzheng has a lot to say and a lot to do. He combines knowledge with action and puts it into practice.
Taixi advocates treating money as the devil that stirs up the inner world, while Ming Dynasty is very taboo about amassing profits. Money is just money, but money brings countless filth. "He has gained both fame and benefits. It's really a good trick! He deserves to be a scholar of the Ming Dynasty!" Zhu Yijun slapped the table and said in a calm tone.
Xu Jie, what a trick!
Zhu Yijun asked Wan Shihe to announce the filth and ugliness of Huishantang caused by Xu Jie. Zhu Yijun sent a letter to Nanya. Four days later, Zhu Yijun received Luo Bingliang’s Tang newspaper. Luo Bingliang said this Shantang was very common in the south of the Yangtze River. With the return of the land, it became more and more difficult to do this business. Several abandoned baby pagodas were torn down by poor coolies and planted crops. If Your Majesty is stronger, you can come to Jiangnan in person and see that Nanya and Zhejiang are slowly getting better. This is the significance of the country's upliftment and the reality of the importance of the country and the country.
The imperial court is fulfilling its original duties.
What is Jiangshan Sheji? The country, the country, and the country are the people.
Zhu Yijun looked at Luo Bingliang's Tangbao for a long time, feeling a little disappointed but also a little happy. Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty was getting better.
At this time in Xitucheng, Zhang Juzheng angrily found Xu Jie's house, holding a miscellaneous newspaper in his hand, and hit Xu Jie in the face. Zhang Juzheng responded with unprecedented anger. , pointed at Xu Jie and said sternly: "Xu Jie! You are not a teacher in vain!"
Zhang Juzheng, a student who Xu Jie taught at the Hanlin Academy.
It was also this teacher-student friendship that made the emperor always give Zhang Juzheng some face when dealing with Xu Jie.
Zhang Juzheng never expected that Xu Jie could do such a thing. His anger was justifiable. After joining the cabinet, Zhang Juzheng thought that he had long passed the age of joy. Zhang Juzheng, who was in his fifties, , I really can’t understand Xu Jie’s greed, so bottomless.
It is difficult for a gentleman to imagine the evil of a wicked person.
"Did I do it myself? Did I do it myself? In the whole Nanya, who doesn't have this kind of business? Is it just Nanya? What about Yangzhou Shou Ma, Datong Auntie, West Lake Boat Girl, Did Taishan girl and Sichuan embroiderer grow out of the soil?" Xu Jie stood up suddenly and slammed the newspaper in his hand on the table with the same anger.
"Is it my fault? There is this kind of business in Datong, there is this kind of business in Hangzhou, there is this kind of business in Yangzhou, there is also this kind of business in Yanzhou, this kind of business is everywhere in the world! The Ming Dynasty is ruined! Everything is ruined It’s full of holes and rotten with pus everywhere!”
“Is it my fault that Emperor Sejong stayed in Xiyuan for twenty-five years and allowed Yan Song’s party to go away? The late emperor was so unruly and unruly that he never said a word. Did I create all the refugees in the world? Wang Chonggu settled 190,000 refugees in Xuan Dading! Those who bleed are all young and strong, and those who cannot bleed will have long since died on the road.”
Xu Jie's voice was louder than Zhang Juzheng's. Ever since Wan Shihe dominated the public opinion and fully exposed the evil that Xu Jie had done, Xu Jie was furious. He didn't know what he was angry about. He knew about those transactions. Sooner or later, it will be revealed. The little emperor and Zhang Juzheng are both the kind of people who want to kill people but also want to punish them. They can expose his evil deeds and kill them with a clean sword.
Xu Jie's anger is not that his sins have been exposed, but he is probably angry at himself. It's time to close his eyes. Looking back on his life, he has accomplished nothing. He obviously has astonishing talents, but he uses them to After doing this, Xu Jie was probably angry about this.
"Then you can't do it!" Of course Zhang Juzheng knew what the five specialties Xu Jie mentioned were. He had heard that what happened to Xu Jie was difficult for Zhang Juzheng to accept. In his heart, No matter how bad Xu Jie is, he won't be this bad.
"I can't do it? Why can't I do it? If I don't do it, some people do it!" Xu Jie pointed at Zhang Juzheng, his face turned red, and with a wave of his hand, he pushed the things on the table everywhere, loudly Said: "Zhang Juzheng, do you think that with your own power, you can clarify the world and make the Ming Dynasty clear and clear?"
"Tell you, let alone one Zhang Juzheng, there are ten or a hundred. , never want to turn this turbid world into crystal clear!"
Zhang Juzheng was not angry anymore, and looked at Xu Jie with a little disdain.
Seeing that Zhang Juzheng was not speaking, Xu Jie raised his head, like a victorious rooster, and sneered: "Why don't you speak? Zhang Juzheng, what's the use of doing this? You're still alive , the little emperor is afraid of you, obeys your orders, and fully supports your new policy. What if you are dead? Tell you, my parents violated the power of the Lord, why is it that he was killed and humiliated before he died? Then!"
"That's the emperor! You have such strict demands on the emperor, and it's time for him to vent his anger."
"Hahaha!" Zhang Juzheng suddenly felt relieved. He smiled wildly and heartily. A question that had troubled Zhang Juzheng for a long time suddenly got an answer in this quarrel. He suddenly had a sincere expectation for the future of Ming Dynasty.
The question that has troubled Zhang Juzheng for a long time is, can the Ming Dynasty really be revived?
The answer has emerged: yes.
Zhang Juzheng sat down slowly, even looked at a cup of tea, and said very calmly: "How can you tell that His Majesty is afraid of me, the Tutor? It's me who is afraid of Your Majesty, and you are putting the cart before the horse."
Zhang Juzheng was really fed up with the little emperor's big and small hammers hitting his rock-solid ideological seal. The values that he had formed throughout his life were completely destroyed by the little emperor. That sentence I Doubts, like I have something, kept wandering in Zhang Juzheng's mind. Now that Ding was worried about becoming an official, he became more relaxed.
It is indeed a shameful and cowardly act to evade the essential work of being a Tutor, but Zhang Juzheng only has a few ideological seals left, which really cannot be broken anymore. When Ding You is over, whether he returns to the court or not No longer have to face the indescribable giant hammer of thought.
Zhang Juzheng put down the tea cup, stood up and said: "Seeing you, I understand the contradiction a little more. The Ming Dynasty is very big, there are many people, the Ming Dynasty has tens of millions of people, these tens of millions of people Here, everyone has different ideas, cognitions, and thinking. This is the overbearing power of the theory of contradiction. When you learn to look at a problem dialectically, many confusions will be solved. "
"Someone. They are willing to sacrifice their lives for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, even if their lives are lost. For example, they do not close their posts at night, and their turrets are far away. The interests of the group, such as Wang Shizhen, such as you Xu Jie. "
"What I want to do is to find those Hongyi people who care about the world first, and then enjoy the world's happiness. , were screened in front of His Majesty, and the ministers were selected on their own merits, and Your Majesty was only on their merits."
Xu Jie's hands trembled, and he frowned and said: "Zhang Juzheng, is this your first day as an official? It’s so childish. Just deceive the little emperor like the emperor, sage, minister, and virtuous people in the world. Don’t deceive yourself.” , I believe it now and am leaving." Zhang Juzheng said no more words.
The Ming Dynasty is very big and there are many people. When there are more people, it will become noisy. As the minister of the Prime Minister, Zhang Juzheng, on the road of the New Deal in the future, what he has to do is to bring those who want to do things, are willing to do things and can still do things Find the people and bring them to His Majesty, so that His Majesty can use their abilities to revive the Ming Dynasty.
This matter is not complicated, as long as sufficient conditions are given to delineate it.
Xu Jie is the first assistant, and Zhang Juzheng is also the first assistant. There is also a gap between the first assistant and the first assistant. They have different ways and do not work together.
The condition for all this to be established is that the little emperor taught by Zhang Juzheng himself is really wise.
Zhu Yijun sneezed heavily and tightened the dragon cloak around him. The weather suddenly turned cold these days. It was late spring and even the spring breeze became a bit sharper. It blew into his neck like a It hurts like a bone scraper.
"Squeak!" Wang Yaozhuo closed the window of the royal study room in Guanghan Palace, slightly panicked, and complained that the window made strange noises. Zhang Hong did not apply some shark oil to lubricate it, and interrupted. Your Majesty's thoughts are disturbing to the Holy Master.
"Come here?" Zhu Yijun put down his pen. He put down the memorial in his hand. There are still more than a dozen books that need Zhu Yijun's personal approval. They will be sent to Wenyuan Pavilion tomorrow morning. Small things will be discussed in the next chapter, as well as big things. Get the court meeting and go to the court meeting.
This is Zhu Yijun's daily work, because after going to Xishan for a day, he had to work an extra night shift to make up for it.
“This late-spring cold weather is the most annoying. A while ago, I just asked the Xixin Secretary to stop the fire in the Nuan Pavilion, and it’s getting cold again today.” After Wang Yaozhuo greeted him, he sat down On the side, light the lamp a little.
The pen used by His Majesty is a hard pen with an ink bag. It is a pen sent from the Imperial Academy. It has a white copper bead on the tip. It writes smoothly and is extremely easy to use.
Zhu Yijun picked up a memorial and said nonchalantly: "We remember that the Lu family in Shaanzhou was also engaged in this disgusting business, and Xu Jie was also in the same business. They were all from the same mold. Today, Mr. Xu Jie went to see the immortal Xu Jie for his theory. What Xu Jie said was wrong, but he was right. The number of refugees in the world was not created by him, but by the imperial court. "
"The imperial court has been absent for a long time from intervening in the local area, allowing it to grow wildly and failing to regulate the increasingly intensified conflicts. One day the people will shout out that sentence, mourning for days, and you will all perish!"
< br>During the Xia Dynasty, Xia Jie compared himself to the sun and benefited the world. Facing Xia Jie's tyranny, the people who couldn't bear it said that even if you are really the sun in the sky, we will die with you.
It just so happens that the sun and the moon are bright, and if the imperial court continues to be absent and does not perform its functions, there will be a day.
Zhu Yijun continued: "Luo Bingliang wrote that the Ming Dynasty is much better now, and the business of Xujia Huishantang is not as good as before. Nine out of sixteen have fallen, and others are also trying to maintain it. All this will be carried out by returning the father-in-law to the land. In a good place, Huishantang’s business has collapsed.”
“Sometimes we also wonder whether we are right or wrong when Zhang Xueyan, the Minister of Revenue, said that the world should be liberated.”
"Sir, what did you say?" Wang Yaozhuo didn't understand state affairs, but she completely understood what His Majesty said. That's how she got into the palace. Being able to be a queen was her destiny after entering the palace. Her appearance and figure attracted the attention of the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother of the two palaces had only one request for the emperor's wedding, and that was to have a good childbirth and be anxious to have grandchildren.
Your Majesty did not have the energy to love his children, so he was picked up by Wang Yaozhuo.
It’s already the appointed time, and His Majesty is still sitting at his desk making comments, and he really doesn’t have the energy.
"Mr. said there is no need to be in a hurry. Eat the rice one bite at a time, walk the road step by step, the dog licks the noodles, the chicken eats the rice, and the candle burns the copper lock. It will be done one day." Zhu Yijun also revealed when talking about Zhang Juzheng These three things are allusions from Journey to the West, and Zhang Juzheng used them as metaphors.
Where there is a will, there is a way.
"Then follow what Mr. Wang said." Wang Yaozhuo imitated Zhu Yijun's tone and said with a smile.
She was teasing Zhu Yijun. When Zhang Juzheng was in court, Zhu Yijun liked to say this sentence. Since Zhang Juzheng gave his opinion and the emperor also felt the same, then take your time with land. , Don't worry, the fields and fields can kill people just for the soil in the fields.
“Bold!” Zhu Yijun was not angry and grabbed Wang Yaozhuo.
Wang Yaozhuo dodged slightly, stood up, smiled like crescent moons with his eyes and said, "Come and catch me."
Wang Yaozhuo floated away, but Zhu Yijun did not move. place, but continued to review the memorial, while Wang Yaozhuo, who was floating away, looked at the emperor at the desk, then at the bottle of shark oil in his hand, and sighed heavily. She competed with the state affairs for favor and failed. Old Mammy The tricks they taught her didn't work.
You can't blame her for not working hard. Your Majesty thinks that we should wait until after the wedding. The third day of March is the wedding day, and there are only five days left.
Shark oil is a top-notch natural biological lubricant, cough cough. Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
