Chapter 572 "The roots are flourishing and the branches and leaves are infinitely rising"
The treaty that Ming Dynasty required Oda Nobunaga to sign was very harsh.
Each of the six items is very fatal to the Japanese country, prohibiting sea pirates from unlimited declaration of war in Chapter 3, Article 17, the actual garrison of the Daming Navy, the prohibited goods list, and recognizing the legality of the Nagasaki Governor's Office sex, the cession of Sakai City, and the annual military expenses of 300,000 silver. The Tatars also turned black after seeing such treaties!
But Oda Nobunaga went from pursuing the people of the world to becoming Azuchi Shogun, to being assassinated and raising suspicions, and then to the recent defeat at Osaka Bay, Oda Nobunaga had no choice. He first The only thing to consider is survival. Only by surviving can we talk about the future. This is what Oda City said to the emperor: Only the Central Plains is responsible for history. Oda Nobunaga has no such concept at all.
The top carnivores of the Central Plains are responsible for the historical process. This is a typical characteristic of the Central Plains, because the warehouses are solid and they know etiquette, and the food and clothing are sufficient and they know honor and disgrace. Without rich materials, there will be no culture, and without culture, there will be no Civilization, without a mature civilization, does not have to be responsible for the historical process, because precarity is the norm.
Oda Nobunaga must find a way to survive. No matter how harsh the conditions of the Ming Dynasty are, he must first agree to it, use the influence of the Ming Dynasty to complete his own turn, and complete the cohesion of people's hearts before he can fight. The country When trust is lost and people are suspicious, using force is equivalent to sending oneself to the guillotine. He will die if he loses in battle, if he fights internally, or if he is assassinated by careerists.
Oda Nobunaga had no choice.
Sanniangzi is very aware of this controversial treaty, which is called the Seventeen-Article Treaty among the people, because the contents of the treaty have been published in the Ming Di Bao, Min Bao and many miscellaneous newspapers. In particular, each of the reasons for doing this was explained in great detail. For example, the troops were stationed to quell the Japanese on the spot, rather than waiting until the Japanese invaded the southeast to fight the Japanese. For example, the expenses for supporting the army would not be shipped back to Beijing. Instead, he stayed in Nagasaki Xingduji to reward the soldiers who marched far away and so on.
After this treaty was formulated, it was made public, and every reason for it was made very clear.
Sanniang is still frightened. When the emperor was a child, Sanniang felt that this child would definitely be punished. Now she has really learned a lot, and she is simply heartless! Sanniangzi is very lucky that Beilu can reconcile with Ming Dynasty. It is really a blessing!
Zhu Yijun's kindness to the grassland was actually based on practical considerations. After all, they all ate from the same pot. Zhu Di, the emperor who was about to take over the world, personally went in and out of the grassland five times, wearing strong armor and fighting hard. In the end, he could not clear the desert forever. Twenty-four years later, the Oara people made a comeback. In order not to repeat the same mistake, the Ming Dynasty still focused on opening up the sea, and that was the only way.
The Japanese are different. The Japanese are short and look like they are not from our race. They must have different intentions.
Zhu Yijun watched Li Yashi, who was wearing a Confucian robe, walk into the Wenhua Palace. Li Yashi looked around with curiosity. This is the center of power of the Ming Empire. Li Yashi How can you not be curious? All the new policies of the Wanli Restoration came from here.
"I pay my respects to your Majesty, long live your Majesty, His Majesty." Legaz bowed five times and kowtowed three times in a loud voice.
Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Pingsheng, the last time the envoy from Taixi came to visit, you didn't come, but now you come to join in the fun. What kind of truth is this?"
"Since I am Felipe His Highness's special envoy is also a minister of the Ming Dynasty. He must learn to avoid suspicion." Ligasi stood up and explained with a smile why he did not attend the meeting with Taixi's envoy. It was inevitable to avoid suspicion, and Ligasi still had to be there. Ming life.
It was impossible to go back. He had broken his promise to remain unmarried and serve God forever. If he returned to Taisi, he would be burned alive at the stake as a heretic.
The Ming Dynasty was really too polite to heretics. Those lamaseries on the grassland had been classified as heretics by the Ming Dynasty, but they were still able to return to secularism. The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was really a kind man. Let Taixi go, this is immortality Endless situation.
"What are you doing without your credentials for your audience this time? To entertain me, I'm going to go crazy!" Zhu Yijun raised his eyebrows and said cheerfully, wasting the Ming Emperor's time, without Li Ya Really good fruit to eat!
Legasi said with a smile: "I really have a starting point. I believe that the Ming Dynasty unified the world and controlled Liuhe in the Zeliu area. It did not care about the expansion of the land, but the expansion of the land. To build the Qin Emperor Those who cannot be conquered and those who cannot be subdued by the Han Dynasty are all included in the territory. This is the so-called prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties. "
"For example, it has been more than 200 years since southern Yunnan meandered to the west and returned to its native land. Culture and education have been harmonious. Since then, Yunnan and Guizhou have entered the hinterland of the four directions, and there is no separation anymore. This is beyond the reach of the Han Dynasty and the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Why?"< br>
"Gai..."
"Stop! Special Envoy Li, you are from Taixi, can you stop being so literary? You speak in classical Chinese, do you want to take the imperial examination! Do you think you Is it appropriate for a Thai man to be so literate?" Zhu Yijun interrupted Li Yashi's chatter. This guy has been in Ming Dynasty for a long time and has already used classical Chinese. He is quite organized. The good things of Ming Dynasty are not allowed to this red-haired man. I learned it.
Using classical Chinese to flatter people is a core skill of Ming literati, and it was all learned by Legas!
Legasi smiled and shook his head and said: "Forget it about my age, I am already satisfied with being a general."
"Is Special Envoy Li turning fifty this year? It seems that he is still young. He is very young. He is an old man and has great ambitions. In his old age, a martyr is full of ambition." Zhu Yijun looked at Li Yashi's appearance and said with a smile.
“I will be fifty in one hundred and twenty-eight months…” Legasil had a dark look on his face! He just looks a little anxious, he is only thirty-nine years old! What do you mean, what does it mean to be fifty? ! Is it his fault for looking anxious? He looked like this ten years ago!
“Thirty-nine.” Zhu Yijun knew from Feng Bao’s slight nod that Li Ya was not deceiving him, he was really thirty-nine.
"The Ming Dynasty is far away from the Han and Tang Dynasties. It is not appropriate to talk about it now." Zhu Yijun looked at the Kanyu map and said: "I don't even know when we can reopen the Western Regions. It is too early to be so arrogant. "
Legas said with certainty: "Your Majesty's words are wrong. Some time ago, the newly established Gansu Province recruited scholar-officials for the third time, and there were so many people who responded. It is to endure hardship, but it is also to perform meritorious service. In Gansu, promotion is faster than elsewhere, and there is merit to be gained. The scholar-officials recruited in the first two times only left unwillingly because of injuries, and no weak ones fled back to the hinterland. .”
"This is what people want. Reopening the Western Region is not far away."
"That's true. The Confucian scholars of the Ming Dynasty really impressed me this time." Zhu Yijun said sincerely.
When the Ming Dynasty encountered some difficulties, they cried for their parents and went to Suiyuan, a place close to their heart, to become officials. They were not happy and looked like they were dying. However, this time they went to Gansu. To Zhu Yijun's surprise, there wasn't that much noise.
No one dislikes that Jiayuguan is a run-down city on the Gobi Desert, and no one thinks that he is a slave who was sold by the emperor and exiled to Gansu, and no one shouts that I sold my freedom and soul. Just for the opportunity of promotion.
Once the Western Region is reopened, it will be a great achievement.
The Ming Dynasty reopened the Western Regions from the Hongwu period to the Wanli period, but it has never been able to do so. With such an opportunity to leave a name in history and criticize Fang Qiu at the cusp of history, Confucian scholars gave full play to their subjective initiative in doing things. .
Legasi said very confidently: "Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty conquered southern Yunnan and traveled to the west for two hundred years. It was extremely successful. Why did the Ming Dynasty do better than the Han and Tang Dynasties in Yunnan? In fact, the Ming Dynasty did better than the Han and Tang Dynasties. The feudal system is adopted, and the good rules of the county and county system are adopted below. If there is feudalism, there will be great virtues, and if there are counties and counties, the system will be superior. From ancient times to modern times, we have respected it for thousands of years. It has both virtue and beauty, and its merits are prosperous. Sincerity has been a saint since the birth of the people. It's unprecedented!"
"We all look up to the Holy Lord and the Renren Emperor in the DPRK..."
"Stop, if you do this again, I will throw you outside the Meridian Gate and beat the imperial staff. "Zhu Yijun signaled to Li Yasi to calm down. It was too overwhelming. Li Yasi didn't feel embarrassed. Zhu Yijun, the person who was praised, felt embarrassed enough to be detained from Tonghe Palace. It was mainly because of Li Yasi's support. He has a red-haired face and a arrogant manner, which is really nondescript.
"Okay, where did I just say that? Ah, it's all your Majesty's credit." Li Ya said concisely and concisely, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "I'll put it bluntly. The root cause is eight It’s a matter of course that the branches are flourishing.”
“More people are good, more people are more powerful.”
“This time, Mu Changzuo, Duke of Guizhou, was tricked by raw seedlings and mature seedlings, and he was almost invaded by Burmese thieves! What did the Duke of Guizhou rely on to repel the thieves? He relied on the Han army, the military garrison, and the support of Liu Wei, the commander-in-chief of Sichuan. Therefore, the title of my memorial today is "The Roots and Branches Are Infinite" "Sheng Ping Shu"
Legasi submitted his memorial to the emperor. This was also his first literary memorial, and he wrote it for a long time.
Zhu Yijun opened it and read it for a long time. There was no problem with the wording and sentence selection. Moreover, Legaz’s starting point was the fall of Rome.
After the fall of Rome, all kinds of demons, monsters, gods, Luoluo and Sanluo came out. After the fall of Rome, Rome was everywhere. If the civilization of the Ming Dynasty was cut off, then the barbarians and small countries around the Ming Dynasty would all be proud of themselves. China Zhengshuo took control of itself.
The demise of Rome was caused by a sharp decline in the main population, that is, the Roman population, which ultimately led to the complete destruction of Rome.
There are different opinions on the demise of Rome, each with its own reasons, but Legas believed that if the Romans were gone, Rome would naturally perish.
"Your Majesty, just like this huge Wenhua Palace, the pillars are the ones that are struggling, and the main population is these big pillars. Once these pillars fall, the house will collapse." Legas Complete narrated his memorial.
"Is Felipe's anxiety today sudden? No, in fact, there were signs. After Felipe found the rich silver mine in Peru, the largest silver mine in the world, Spain changed , after the inflow of a large amount of silver, under the influence of money, people began to generally discriminate against the craftsmen who worked hard in the workshops and the herdsmen who lived in the pastures."
"This kind of culture. It began to spread rapidly throughout Spain. People no longer wanted to work hard, but only wanted to become rich overnight. England was in a corner. They had no handicraft workshops before and made a living by exporting wool every year. Even if they make woolen cloth, they can’t sell it.”
"The woolen business is controlled by Spain, and England can't sell it, so how can we talk about accumulating wealth?"
"It is precisely the Spanish culture where everyone is pragmatic and wants to be a rich man. Let Spain's handicraft industry die quickly and shrink day by day, which gives England an opportunity to take advantage of it."
"So, today's results and yesterday's results, His Highness Felipe can only reap the consequences."< br>
“Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are the pillars of the four countries.”
What Legas did not say was that the people were the foundation of a country, and that the foundation was strong and the country would be peaceful. He was talking about the alienation of money to people and the alienation of the spirit. Alienation from society.
Zhu Yijun looked through Li Yashi's memorials again and said with great certainty: "You and Li Zhi must have a lot to say. He is studying the alienation of power from people and the alienation of money from people."< br>
The topic changed from light to serious. As the general manager of Honglu Temple, Legasi had eaten the royal food of the Ming Dynasty. In addition to translating the Taixi documents, he also had to actively contribute his words and suggestions to shine for the rejuvenation of the Ming Dynasty. Fever, he talked about the phenomenon in Spain, hoping that His Majesty would be vigilant and not let this happen.
By taking history as a mirror, we can know the ups and downs. Legaz elaborated on the arguments and arguments of his memorial in detail, especially for the demise of the Roman Empire. Legaz sincerely felt regretful, and there was no basis for the return of lightning in the entire West, and Rome was really destroyed.
Legas expounded his thoughts on Spain based on the changes in Spanish handicraft industry.
"Your Majesty, in fact, His Highness Felipe has really tried his best. He wants to defeat England. He wants the silver not to be piled up in Spain, but to have a place to dredge it, so he would rather suffer more grievances than dare to offend. Ming Dynasty, because it offended Ming Dynasty, the silver accumulated in Spain will continue to accumulate." Legas concluded.
In the communication between Felipe and the Ming Dynasty, he was wronged from the beginning. The Governor's Palace of Luzon was captured by the Ming Dynasty, Portugal was canonized by the Ming Dynasty, and even the Ming Dynasty's sailing ship arrived in the West and completed the global voyage. Trade, and Felipe II could only open the door to facilitate trade, because the silver from the Spanish Barrier needed a place to release the flood.
In Legas' heart, Felipe was a very good king, the same type of person as His Majesty, both diligent and loving the country more than himself.
After Legas left, the Ming Emperor met with foreign envoys from North Korea, Annan, and Siam. These envoys were stationed in the capital all year round, mainly for tribute matters. Zhu Yijun was very busy and ended After receiving the foreign envoy, he immediately set off for Beida Camp and began daily military parades. When he arrived at the place, the diligent Emperor Ming remembered that today was a day off every other day.
Zhu Yijun walked around the Beida camp, taught a few recruits a lesson, encouraged the sentries on guard, and watched the Ming Dynasty's Yulinbu in Wuying Tower before returning to Tonghe Palace with satisfaction.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather slowly turned cooler. Zhu Yijun wore a large cloak and began reviewing memorials every day.
The Ministry of Rites has drafted the Letter of Credence in accordance with the instructions of the Ming Emperor. After His Majesty read and revised it, he sent it to various countries. The Ming Dynasty memorial did not last overnight, so the replies from each ministry were extremely fast and the administrative efficiency was extremely high.
"The idea of the Ministry of Rites is very good. The Ming Dynasty will not tolerate him. The Japanese emperor must seal the Japanese seal to prevent the Japanese pirates from cheating." Zhu Yijun Zhu approved Wan Shihe's memorial, and Wan Shihe said that he would The certificate of credence was replaced three times and was sent back to the Ming Dynasty after the Emperor of Japan used it to seal it.
In other words, three copies will be sent to the Japanese country after receiving the previous one. Eventually, the three treaties will be returned to the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty will review the three treaties prohibiting maritime pirates again. Prevent the Japanese country from playing the trick of changing the prince with a civet cat.
No one can be too cautious against the Japanese.
"Just follow what Shen Yigui, the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture, said in his memorial." Zhu Yijun looked at the content of Shen Yigui's memorial. There were more and more people in Shuntian Prefecture, and city management was becoming more and more troublesome. Extreme problems had begun to appear. There was an obvious traffic jam, with rickshaws, trains, carts, sedans of powerful and powerful young men, and cars mixed together. The entire Jingtang was a mess, and even the Tongbao was crowded.
In order to solve this problem, the city gates must be expanded, the roads must be expanded, the sidewalks must be regulated, the size of vehicles must be fully regulated, and the curfew time must be modified. This is a very complicated issue. Regarding the matter, Shen Guanguan has tried his best to ensure its smooth and stable implementation.
And you have to ask the emperor to issue an edict to make everyone abide by traffic regulations.
This place in Jingtang can hit six famous scholars with one brick, and four of them have official status, so it is inevitable that it will be difficult to manage, so we can only ask the emperor to issue an order.
In the Ming Dynasty, the only person who could call the shots was the emperor!
Zhu Yijun agreed to Shen Yiguan's request. With the increase in population, if traffic in Jingtang was not regulated, even the emperor would have to be stuck in the palace and unable to move.
Zhu Yijun frowned as he looked at a memorial. This was the memorial submitted by Wang Qian. Inside was the unreviewed manuscript of a new issue of Xiaoyao Yiwen, waiting for the emperor's approval.
The liberal leaders Lin Fucheng and Li Zhi, the standard-bearers of the open challenge to bureaucratic autocracy, jointly published the article "The alienation of power from people", systematically expounding the process of this alienation. This was the first time that liberals truly meant It openly challenges bureaucratic autocracy and is extremely detailed.
Lin Fucheng mixed in some factors of official pressure and popular rebellion, making the whole article full of impact.
Let’s start with the travel notes. It’s about the first team leader in Qingyuan County, who is the leader of the government officials. His surname is Li and his last name is Ben. Li Ben, the team leader, has always had a good reputation, and there are very few police officers among the people. It has a good reputation. After all, if the government officials pass by and grab a handful, they will give you face, let alone pay. Li Ben’s biological brother is a hereditary member of thousands of households, and after Li Ben became the leader, he willed the government officials After a good meal, I finally stopped disturbing the people.
Of course, the government officials were also popular for drinking spicy food. The reason was that Li Ben relied on the authority of his own brother to lead the government officials to suppress bandits everywhere. If they couldn't defeat the bandits, he would ask his brother to suppress them. After surrendering the bandits, he would be sent to the Inspection Department of Baoding Prefecture for collection. Reward, although life cannot be said to be unrestrained and happy, everyone has a way to survive.
Li Ben married a beautiful girl. Li Ben went out to suppress bandits all day long. The beautiful girl couldn't bear it and hooked up with someone. At first, no one mentioned it, and Li Ben never mentioned it. Thinking about it that way, it turned out that this beautiful girl was cheating money and people. She emptied Li Ben's money and ran away with the thief.
Originally they just ran away, but these two bitches ran to the home of Shi Yaohaoyou in Qingyuan County for shelter.
Li Ben was naturally not happy, so he sued the official. The county magistrate did not want to take care of it, because the squad leader was his subordinate who could take care of him, and he was a powerful man with powerful hands and eyes, and he was one of the best in the government. The county magistrate did not care about the large tax-paying households, so Li Ben could only swallow his bad breath.
Li Ben didn't bother this bad man and woman. Instead, this bad man and woman came to his door to ask for his dowry. Li Ben wanted to report to the official, but he found that the official reported to him as well. Here, with a sudden change of heart, the result was that the dog man and woman stabbed each other. The servants who came with the dog man and woman did not even dare to look at them.
According to the "Laws of the Ming Dynasty·Criminal Code·Human Life": Anyone who wants to commit adultery with others, and the husband personally catches the adulterer or adulterer in the place of adultery, and kills the adulterer immediately, is not allowed to do anything.
Li Ben himself was a military household. According to the system, he should be under the jurisdiction of the governor of his own bodyguard. The local government had no power to judge. However, the county magistrate and the master who had pretended to be confused immediately took action and ordered the Yamen servants to arrest Li Ben. These government officials used to be Li Ben's people. They wanted to arrest their immediate boss, and because of such bad things, they immediately divided into two groups, one wanted to arrest and the other wanted to protect him.
The commotion among the government officials is what the county government saw. This Li Ben is really disobedient on weekdays. Let him do some errands, especially some shameful errands. After all the push and pull, the county magistrate wanted this troubled situation.
During the pushing and shoving, a government servant was pushed to the ground by Li Ben. By chance, he hit a stone and died.
This human life lawsuit is not like the previous dog and woman who just died. The law of the Ming Dynasty killed the person immediately. Regardless, this was a government servant. If he died like this, the situation would immediately get out of control.
Li Ben was desperate and had no choice but to become a bandit. He took more than a dozen government servants to occupy the mountain and became the king of the mountains and forests.
The story does not end here. Li Ben secretly sneaked into the county government office with a few people, took off the head of the county magistrate, hung it in front of the gate of the county government office, and walked away. At this point, , had to be pacified, and it was Li Ben's brother who pacified Li Ben's village. When the two brothers met, they embraced each other and cried. In the end, Li Ben drew his sword and committed suicide in full view of the public.
After Lin Fucheng finished telling the story, it was Li Zhi's turn. Li Zhi began to analyze the alienation of power from the county magistrate.
Just because Li Ben was not obedient, the county magistrate was dissatisfied. This was unkindness, unforgiveness, and anger. When Li Ben reported to the government for the first time, the county magistrate, as Qingtian, Not only does the elder not uphold justice, but he feels that his subordinates are easy to bully. This is unjust, disloyal, and infatuated. He does not distinguish between good and evil, and does things only based on likes and dislikes. This is stupid;
Justice It was the county magistrate's deliberate indulgence that led to the humiliation of the bastard man and woman. This was unwise. They knew that the contradiction was very serious and still came to the door. The bastard man and woman did not consider whether the servants they brought were Li Ben's opponents. This was It was unwise, and after the county magistrate heard the news, the first thing he did was not notify the Guards Station to arrest him. Arrogance and arrogance, thinking that one is very smart and looking down on others.
Being unkind, unjust, unwise, unbelieving, and rude, as well as being unfilial and disloyal, ultimately leads to brothers killing each other.
This is the alienation of people by power. During the whole process, the county magistrate became greedy, angry, stupid, slow and suspicious because of the power in his hands.
After discussing the existence and phenomenon of alienation, Li Zhi analyzed the causes of alienation.
Because the Ming Dynasty's Kedao Yanguan, the most important correction force of the Ming Dynasty, failed, the Metropolitan Procuratorate became a place of fame, and its reputation was determined to rise. The Kechen held up the banner of etiquette and law, However, he rebelled against Tiangang and was treasonous. In the early years of Wanli, Tan Lun was impeached for coughing. This is the most typical example of the failure of corrective power. Kechen was attached to the existence of Ming Gong. Kechen became a minion of power. Power lost its supervision and became alienated. will become inevitable.
"How did Li Zhi learn from Lin Fucheng? He just said half of it?" Zhu Yijun turned over the memorial and was very angry. When it came to this point, Li Zhi chose to leave it blank.
The last time Li Zhi pointed out the decrees of the Ming Dynasty, the way the whole world was drunk and I was sober was very memorable. Now I have begun to imitate Lin Fucheng's style, and I just pointed out the solution without mentioning the solution.
After Li Zhi communicated with Lin Fucheng, they stopped there. How to restore the Ming Dynasty, the most important correction force, was a headache for the Ming Dynasty. Li Zhi chose to avoid talking about it.
Feng Bao said in a low voice: "Actually, they don't have any good solutions. They can analyze the reasons so clearly. It shows that the two of them are working together and have tried their best."
" Allow it to be published." Zhu Yijun thought for a moment and decided to publish it without changing a word.
In a strange current situation, the liberals who challenged the Ming Emperor's autocratic power had to rely on the Ming Emperor to survive. However, the emperor, who should have been stubborn and remorseless until he reached the guillotine, was the biggest supporter of the liberals.
“Another severe test.” Zhu Yijun looked at the first draft of Xiaoyao Yiwen in his hand and said with a complex expression: “I can’t think of any good way. A water carrier can do so much. The Metropolitan Procuratorate is in so much trouble, what can we do to save it? "
Let Lin Fucheng and Li Zhi shut up, and you can be more relaxed, but the problem will be completely hidden under the water, and the undercurrent will surge. More dangerous.
The Ming Dynasty has actually taken many measures to deal with it. For example, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate must have experience in local duties. For example, the false accusations against the Constitution in the Ming Dynasty have been deeply implemented. For example, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty personally issued a The purpose is difficult.
"Such a humble scholar really never disappoints people when it comes to disappointing people." Several solutions flashed through Zhu Yijun's mind, but none of them were perfect.
Top-down methods include Tiqi supervision, but Tiqi has many inconveniences. It is difficult to go to the local area to handle cases. If you stay in the local area for a long time, it is easy to become a part of the block. There are also bottom-up methods. , that is, civilian supervision, but civilian supervision was too advanced for the Ming Dynasty. Civil supervision could easily become the talking point of powerful right-wingers, and party strife spread from the court to the people.
"The next chapter of the cabinet will give you a headache, sir." Zhu Yijun closed the memorial and said with a smile to Feng Bao.
(End of this chapter)
