Chapter 600 The Ming Dynasty, a body without a soul
The Ming Dynasty has very clear etiquette regulations for standing up, sitting down, and standing up. Failure to do so is an insult to politeness, and walking in a arrogant manner will be regarded as dissolute and disrespectful behavior. Steady and unworthy of big responsibilities, when the young emperor was in doubt, anything that was a bit unruly would lead to a severe reprimand from Empress Dowager Li. The young emperor refused to listen, so Empress Dowager Li took the young emperor to the ancestral temple to cry.
The Queen Mother cried, and the young emperor also cried.
Zhu Yijun grew up in this kind of environment. Everyone wants him to be steady. Of course, this is also necessary, because there are so many bits and pieces in Chapter 12 Gun's clothes. If he can't walk steadily, he will touch them. jingle.
So outside, he tried his best to maintain the demeanor and courtesy that an emperor should have, but when he arrived at the Quanchu Guild Hall, Zhu Yijun would become a little careless and do whatever he felt comfortable with.
In Xiong Tingbi’s opinion, when he arrives at the Quanchu Guild Hall, His Majesty will be more like a human being, more vivid, with his own joys and sorrows, more like a senior brother, not an emperor, and not an indifferent machine. .
"Sir, the son of Abadai Khan, the leader of the seven tribes of Outer Khalkha, came to the Ming Dynasty. The Ministry of Rites meant that after the trade agreement was reached, he would not be allowed to face the Holy Spirit. The Great Sima once Shogo's opinion is the same." Zhu Yijun gnawed on the green apple. Although it was sour, it was not too unpalatable. After all, he grew it himself.
Buying some wool is already an act of mercy outside the law. As for adopting him as a domestic dog, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War disagree.
Being a dog of the Ming Dynasty is not something you can just do if you want to.
"Forget it, the Ministry of Rites has always been conservative, and the Ministry of War is a bit weird. Logically speaking, this is an excellent opportunity. The seven tribes of Outer Khalkha are waiting to be attached, but the Ministry of War is not very concerned about this matter. Passionate." Zhang Juzheng also sat on the Taishi chair, put his backrest back, found a comfortable position, and said.
Zhu Yijun thought for a moment, rolled his eyes, looked at Xiong Tingbi and said, "Xiong Da, why do you think Da Sima refused to take advantage of this opportunity to acquire the seven tribes of Outer Khalkha?"
"The Great Sima has the concerns of the Great Sima, naturally because it is only in name only to have it attached inside." Xiong Tingbi looked at the huge map hanging in the study room of Wenchang Pavilion and said: "Outer Khalkha is in Mobei, across the desert, there is no Chidao, even if it is attached, cannot consolidate the county. "
"This is one."
"The second is the actuarial style, and the cost of governance is really high. It’s too high. How much profit does Ming have to send to Mobei every year to ensure that people support it? There are mines in Suiyuan. This is a matter of mutual benefit, but there are only mines in Mobei.”
“The third is. The expedition is difficult, and the Ming Dynasty’s capital camp is extremely brave, but if you travel a long distance to Mobei, there is a risk of defeat. If Xu Da is still defeated in the desert, it is better to be cautious.”
Xiong Tingbi in history. After passing the martial arts examination, he studied by himself and became a Jinshi. The Ming Dynasty took the eight-legged essay, which is the Four Books and Five Classics. Xiong Tingbi could study by himself and pass the examination. This is no longer an ordinary genius. Now that Xiong Tingbi has a famous teacher, he doesn't have to worry about life. There is no need to herd cattle. With the wealthy emperor around, Xiong Tingbi has no worries about food and clothing.
Obviously Xiong Tingbi's talent has gradually been revealed through careful training.
Considering the political, economic, and military aspects, in any case, it is not a good choice to annex the Seven Communities of Outer Khalkha at this time.
"Well, what you said is very good, but Da Sima's main consideration is to set up a control group." Zhu Yijun said with a smile.
Xiong Tingbi frowned and said doubtfully: "Control group?"
Zhu Yijun nodded and said: "The control group is a method currently used by the Ming Dynasty Royal Academy of Geosciences to study the infinite principles of all things. Only one is a variable, and then the impact of this variable is observed. Therefore, Da Sima's idea is that the more successful Suiyuan Wang Hua is. , the original Hu people will forget why they were kings in the first place, and why they chose this path."
"But the seven tribes of Outer Khalkha are left behind, which is the control group, in order to prevent everyone from being defeated. Forgot why we set out in the first place."
After hearing this, Xiong Tingbi said in amazement, "Da Sima is really a scholar."
Xiong Tingbi gradually realized that those he admired before. The courtiers seem to have another side that is unknown to the public, and the contradictory nature of the two sides of the scholar is further reflected.
"No one will dislike the size of their own territory, not even dogs. Dogs will urinate everywhere and enlarge the territory. If other dogs come in, they will bark." Zhu Yijun spit out his breath and said: " It’s still a bit far away and we can’t consolidate the counties, so this is the only way.”
If we could consolidate the counties, Zeng Shengwu would have been playing gongs and drums and loudly making noises about the seven annexes of the Outer Khalkha. , but the strength still doesn’t allow it.
"Your Majesty, I have a concern. The government has internal funds and external treasury to provide military pay of more than 11 million taels a year. I am really worried that this money will not be used properly. To be more clear, It has been the twelfth year of enriching the country and strengthening the army, and the status of military generals has been improved to a certain extent, so anti-corruption should also be put on the agenda." Zhang Juzheng put forward his new proposition succinctly.
“The purpose of anti-corruption is to save money.” Zhang Juzheng got down to business.
The money was spent, but not in the right place, especially as military pay exceeded 10 million taels a year. Such huge expenditures would inevitably breed corruption. Previously, Zhang Juzheng was focused on strengthening the army. To improve the status of military affairs in the country, we must now face this problem.
Zhu Yijun immediately became serious, sat up straight and said: "What Mr. said is also something that worries me."
From the forty-sixth year of Wanli to the seventh year of Tianqi, emperors Wanli, Taichang, and Tianqi successively allocated more than 26.45 million taels of silver to quell the Jiannu rebellion in Liaodong. In the last years of Wanli, Nurhachi was the Dragon and Tiger General of the Ming Dynasty, and where he was The Jianzhou Guard was also established in Yongle and has been a vassal of the Ming Dynasty for generations. This is a rebellion.
So now Nurhachi has become a specimen in the Jiecuyuan, and the crime is very clear, peeking into the inner court.
Nearly 30 million taels of silver were thrown down, and the momentum of establishing slaves became stronger and stronger, and it became more and more difficult to pacify. On the contrary, the Ming Dynasty was retreating steadily. There was quite an illusion that the Ming Dynasty and the outside world were working together to destroy the emperor's gold coins.
This is indeed an illusion, because the amount of money used by the foreign treasury in Pingliao is only a lot more.
How much of this money is actually spent on the army? Very little, because in the first year of Chongzhen's accounting, it was found that the payment arrears exceeded 2.7 million silver, and the payment arrears were serious in Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia.
The way Wang Guoguang gave it was that the local government gave physical goods to the soldiers, and the imperial court gave local silver. This operating system is also a transformation of the ancestral method, the Kaizhong method. It is difficult to say whether it is good or not, but it can be used. .
The silver issued by the Ming Dynasty must have been corrupted. The only thing that can guarantee that no corruption has occurred is the Jingying camp. Zhu Yijun appears in the Jingying camp every day, distributing bounties and military pay, and the emperor personally keeps an eye on it. Now, any "military salary recovery plan" will be known to the emperor, and the all-pervasive Tiqi are also moving around in the Beijing camp.
But the border army does not have this condition at all.
“Since the rebellion of Gengxu, Anda Khan invaded the ancient entrance to the north of the Kou and plundered it. The Ming Dynasty and the Beibei fought for twenty-five years and finally reconciled. A few days ago, I specially allocated state funds to these two Fifteen years of old accounts were summarized." Zhang Juzheng talked about the reasons why he wanted to fight corruption because of the reconciliation.
"Sir, we agreed not to settle old scores and let bygones be bygones." Zhu Yijun tapped his fingers on the table.
If this were to settle an old score, Ma Fang, the wine sacrificer at the martial arts school in the Ming Dynasty, would all be guilty. The anti-corruption campaign in the Ming Dynasty was the return of Hai Rui. It was only in the fourth year of Wanli that a large-scale anti-corruption campaign began. There was no anti-corruption system at all before.
If you are greedy for money, you will peel off the skin and remove the grass for fifty taels of silver. This is already a substantial sleeping clause.
“It’s to teach a lesson, not to settle anyone.” Zhang Juzheng quickly explained why he wanted to settle old scores.
“Since the rebellion in the 29th year of Jiajing, in the past 25 years, a total of 50 million silver has been issued from the internal and external treasury to settle the border, which is 2 million silver a year. However, in the first year of Wanli, it is still More than one million silver in wages are owed." When Zhang Juzheng mentioned the specific content, he said solemnly: "I don't know where the money went."
"Just ask Wang Chonggu. , Ma Fang, they actually don’t know where the money went.”
Zhu Yijun shook his head and said, “There’s no need to ask.”
“I asked.” Zhang Juzheng smiled. He said: "The day before yesterday, I went to the Quanjin Guild Hall. Wang Chonggu and Ma Fang were both there, so I took the accounts and checked them with them. This reconciliation revealed many problems."
< br>"Can this account be correct?" Zhu Yijun stared at Zhang Juzheng, this Emperor Yuanfu is too bold! Looking up but not looking down, this Juzheng really shows no mercy at all.
Zhang Juzheng went to the Quanjin Guild Hall to check the accounts, which is equivalent to kicking his nose and running to the Quanjin Guild Hall to kick him out!
"Of course I am right. We also went together with Wange Lao, Hai Zongxian, Wang Cifu and General Ma. They were quite cooperative. After careful questioning, they strongly supported the military's anti-corruption campaign." Zhang Juzheng said simply. The results of the meeting were reported.
When he went to play in the gym, he also took people with him. Wan Shihe was from the Imperial Party and Hai Rui was from Qingliu.
What makes Zhu Yijun feel even more outrageous is that Wang Chonggu and Ma Fang actually acquiesced in this behavior and even cooperated!
After all, these two people who had really been beaten and almost beaten to death, who had been beaten to death by the iron fist, even felt that Zhang Juzheng had become gentle. He really wanted to kill them, not in the Quanjin Guild Hall. Instead, they launched an attack in Wenhua Hall.
Zhang Juzheng said solemnly: "To solve this problem, we must carefully interrogate the root cause of corruption. The big head here was taken away by Yan Song and his son."
"Your Majesty, the imperial court has a lot of money. What did Yan Song and his son do with the bulk of it? They used it to make Emperor Shizong happy. After all, burning repairs is also a big expense; they used it to form cliques for personal gain. The Yan Party is a faction. Everyone must be fed before they can do their best; to pacify the Japanese, Hu Zongxian was struggling to pacify the Japanese in the southeast. "
There is no doubt that Yan Song is a traitor and a corrupt official, but from the results. It seems that at least Yan Song took advantage of the money and really put an end to the Japanese plague.
Li Hongzhang, on the other hand, stole 40 million taels of silver and took it all to his own home. He spent his whole day trying to make the old woman Cixi happy and misappropriating military funds to build a garden. When the Japanese pirates came, they didn’t even have any artillery shells. , finally went to the Japanese country and begged in every possible way, knelt down and begged for fewer Japanese pirates, and finally signed the Treaty of Shimonoseki.
That’s it, what else do people say? I didn’t know Li Hongzhang when I was young, but now I know Zhen Zhongtang. If Li Hongzhang is Zhen Zhongtang, then who is Yan Song? A wise minister, can you be a capable minister? !
“So, the most important thing to fight against corruption is within the capital, or more specifically, within the court officials.” Zhang Juzheng said solemnly.
Zhu Yijun hurriedly stretched out his hand and said: "Stop, Hai Zongxian said that our Ming Gongs in the Ming Dynasty, even Wange Lao, have a certain degree of righteousness."
Zhang Juzheng said calmly: "This is also the reason why money can now be distributed to the soldiers. After the fierce confrontation in the early years of Wanli, it cannot be said that all the ministers in the court are loyal to the monarch and the country, but in the court, generally, It can be called Qingming."
"Wang Cifu can't take it, then the senior Sima can't take it, the young Sima can't take it, the military doctor can't take it, the Jingtang can't take it, and don't even think about it."
This is indeed the case in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty under the system of complete responsibility for superiors. If Wang Chonggu didn't take it, then Zeng Xingwu couldn't take it. If the superior officials couldn't take it, how could they still let the lower officials take the money?
People are all the same. We don’t have to worry about the imbalance of resources. We can take none of them, but we can’t let some people take them and some people don’t take them.
Zhu Yijun said with emotion: "That's right, there are ghosts only when there is no clarity. As for Mr. Ming Gong, who succeeded in the examination and made a rough list, and who can climb to the Palace of Culture, let alone Ming Gong. Morality and ability are all top-notch.”
“Wang Anshi’s reform could not succeed because he always thought that the system design was good, but he ignored the human effort and the administration. As a result, the systems he designed were very good. , and finally implemented, there will be nothing but chicken feathers.”
The biggest problem with Wang Anshi’s reform is not not to strengthen the army. Wang Anshi was the founder of the Western Army of the Song Dynasty. His method of protecting armor, reducing troops, placing generals, and protecting horses. , Ordnance Supervision Law, are the only remaining achievements of the New Deal, and it was these New Deals that made the Western Army of the Song Dynasty the only army that could fight when the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties were communicating.
Zhang Juzheng's reform started from the imperial examination method in the first year of Wanli and started from the administration of officials.
"Your Majesty put himself within the scope of the exam, which is the fundamental reason why he can succeed in the exam." Zhang Juzheng looked out the window, leaned on the back of his chair, and said with some sadness. The Entrance Examination Law was widely opposed when it was first implemented, and it became even more intense later. Even Zhang’s party members were very resentful of the Entrance Examination Law. At that time, Zhang Juzheng was ready to cover his mouth and use his authority to forcibly implement it. It will continue to be enforced. The result is that he is completely tied to Kaochengfa. Once he dies, the people will perish and the government will cease.
The current great success of the exam is due to His Majesty’s investment of thousands of dollars, and the act of passing the exam on the 29th of every month is an endorsement of the exam, coupled with the fact that he has been working diligently for more than ten years to the point that the whole world knows it. At this stage, those who have passed the examination have successfully entered a new situation where names are obscured on the straw list and names are filled in the booklet.
In fact, the success of the examination still relies on His Majesty’s diligent work.
Your Majesty is born a noble man and is so diligent. All the officials in the world have nothing to complain about.
“Anti-corruption in the military must be tackled from the source. This is also the core issue of government administration. In addition to this issue, it is supervision. Your Majesty, you cannot count on the supervision of civil servants for the time being. I feel that, We can start with the Zhenfu Department." Zhang Juzheng talked about his thoughts on state affairs.
The Zhenfu Division of the North and South Government Offices under the jurisdiction of Jinyiwei is one of the legal departments of the Ming Dynasty. Just like the Criminal Department of the Six Ministries, there are also Zhenfu Divisions in each local capital department. This is also a division of the Ming Dynasty. However, after Yongle, Jinyiwei declined, and most of the functions of the Zhenfusi were transferred to the various yamen.
The functions of the town and government departments in various places have failed, and their functions have changed from military to civil. This is inevitable under the promotion of civil and military affairs.
What Zhang Juzheng meant was to revitalize the Zhenfu Division. The Zhenfu Division, the unique supervisory agency of the Ming Dynasty’s army, should play its role.
"Your Majesty has twenty training partners, including ten honorary guards and ten eunuchs. Among them are Luo Sigong, Zhao Zhenyuan, Li Yougong and others. I believe that these training partners will be transferred to Jiubian as governors. "It is appropriate to supervise the payment of military pay." Zhang Juzheng expressed his thoughts.
Similar to the examination method, we rely on Your Majesty.
These 20 companions went to Jiubian to serve as town governors, specializing in military supervision, military pay, military crimes, laws and disciplines in various military garrison stations, military discipline, etc.
"Sir, don't you think that you have an invincible golden body?" Zhu Yijun spread his hands and said: "When the Zhenfu Division comes out, is it not the same as having an emperor's imperial envoy beside the general soldiers of the Nine Borders? Originally, the generals supported The generals were also offended by Mr. Zhang’s reform.”
One of the original accusations made by the cheap Confucians against Zhang Juzheng was that he had accepted bribes from the generals. Zhang Mu, the general of the army, can be regarded as gaining the support of this group of people.
After doing this, Zhang Juzheng completely wiped out the world.
"Isn't His Majesty here?" Zhang Juzheng said indifferently: "If you offend, you are offended, and you can't do anything to me."
Zhang Juzheng has offended people all his life. There are too many people to offend, there are too many lice and there are no worries, and there are too many debts to worry about. The more scolding he gets, the easier it will be for His Majesty.
"Sir, there is a gap between people's hearts. These sparring partners are by my side, and I can still watch them. But when they get to the place, they are just running rampant. No one can control them. Man, They will be alienated by power," Zhu Yijun said with a serious face.
The alienation of people by power is a subject that Li Zhi once again gained an official status, and this subject was extremely successful.
In Zhang Juzheng’s own words, that is: Those with great power will be destroyed, and those with high achievements will be destroyed.
Zhang Juzheng looked at Luo Sigong and asked with confusion: "Your Majesty, can't you trust them?"
"It's not that you can't trust them, it's because people's hearts are fickle." Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "In the capital hall , I can still control them. When they get there, they rely on my holy family, are they not acting recklessly? "
"Not to mention, Yan Shixuan, the magistrate of Shanghai, hated Hai Laosi so much that he even investigated the concubine's outer chamber, but was unable to take action because he was worried about the presence of Governor Shen Shixing's holy family, and he couldn't even ask You can’t ask, the official level is overwhelming.”
Master Tao never sends his nurse brother Lu Bing to the place, but keeps him by his side, because no one can control him outside the capital. When they get there, everyone will be a local emperor, and the Ming Dynasty's error-correcting power will be completely ineffective.
From the 24th year of Wanli's reign, to the 48th year of Wanli's return, the mine supervisors seized a total of 27.66 million taels of silver and 29.52 million taels of gold and silver. It was almost the same, but the mine supervisor's search for the 27.66 million taels was an extortionate expropriation, an attempt to extort money from large households, and a failure to extort money from the common people. It was a waste of money and a loss of trust for the country.
The mine supervisor collected taxes and the local officials took advantage of them, which ultimately led to the complete collapse of the country.
Gaohuai's rebellion against Liao and Yang Rong's rebellion against Yunnan were the two most serious ones, as well as Cao Jin and Liu Zhong from Zhejiang, Zhao Qin from Shaanxi, Zhang Zhong from Shanxi, Lu Kun from Henan, Li Feng and Li Jing in Guangdong, Pan Xiang in Jiangxi, Gao An in Fujian, Chen Feng in Huguang, etc. were all mine supervisors sent by Emperor Wanli from all over the place, and they made the place a mess.
Zhang Juzheng is a man from heaven. He also has shortcomings, such as lack of grassroots experience. The fear of Yan Shixuan, the magistrate of Shanghai, is not without reason. After the emperor's sparring partners were sent to the local area, no one could restrain him. The civil servants of the Ming Dynasty also We'll just hitch a ride and make a fortune together.
Power without any restrictions will inevitably lead to the alienation of power from people.
"I didn't think it through." Zhang Juzheng was stunned. He was stunned for a long time and said: "Your Majesty is more thoughtful."
It is enough to have one emperor in the world, and he will do so many things in the local area. The local emperor would never give up until the whole country was in an uproar and the feudal towns were separatist. The main reason was that for a long time, the emperor's wisdom made Zhang Juzheng ignore the horror of this uncorrectable power.
"The anti-corruption matter can be left to Hai Zongxian. If it doesn't work, just ask Wang Cifu for advice. In short, there is still a way." Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Sir, don't worry about this. It doesn’t matter if you talk at home, good or bad.”
Zhang Juzheng was not a god, so he would have overlooked some things. He did not submit official documents or memorials. This was just political discussion, and it is normal for his immature ideas to be immature.
Zhu Yijun had lunch at the Quanchu Guild Hall before heading to Beidaying.
At dusk, the Ming Emperor’s chariot slowly appeared in front of the gate of Tonghe Palace. A small yellow door hurriedly delivered a book of rapid notes to Feng Bao. Feng Bao opened it and read it. After one glance, I couldn't bear to look directly at it.
"What happened?" Zhu Yijun asked, seeing Feng Bao's troubled face.
Feng Bao handed over the memorial and whispered: "The draft of the new issue of Xiaoyao Anecdotes by the crazy men Lin Fucheng and Li Zhi has been sent to the capital for His Majesty's reading. The crazy words of the crazy men are not worth mentioning."
“These two crazy men have been talking arrogantly for more than a day or two.” Zhu Yijun said nonchalantly: “What other treacherous and treasonable words can they say?”
Zhu Yijun opened the memorial and took a look. , as if struck by lightning, he was stunned on the spot. He looked at the memorial in his hand, then at Feng Bao and Zhang Hong, and took a few strong breaths of the cold spring air to suppress the anger in his heart.
The title of this issue of Xiaoyao Hewen is: Daming, a body without a soul.
"Let me slow down." Zhu Yijun glanced at the title, and his blood pressure suddenly rose. He held on to the shaft of the car and stopped his plan to let his little power be willful.
"Tell Chen Mo that Lin Fucheng and Li Zhi should not go back to Beijing and die outside! After they leave, Xiaoyaoyiwen will stop publishing! It's good to just stop like this! There is nothing to do in the future. Come on!" Zhu Yijun patted the memorial in his hand twice.
"Your Majesty, do you really want to kill them on the grassland?" Zhao Mengyou asked with a troubled face. It was easy to kill two weak scholars.
Your Majesty is very angry right now. If you really pass the order like this, Lin Fucheng and Li Zhi's study tour group will die before they can reach Guihua City.
Chen Mo will definitely follow the military order and kill him.
"I will talk about it after reading it. If they can't explain why, I will hang them upside down and feed them to the wolves! I will do what I say!" Zhu Yijun slapped the memorial and said angrily.
Zhu Yijun returned to the imperial study, suppressed his anger, and read the entire article. After reading it, the anger in his heart disappeared like a bucket of ice water. These two madmen said The wild words actually convinced Zhu Yijun.
"What are the similarities and differences between the Ming Dynasty and Hu Yuan? Hu Yuan died at the hands of the small people, and the Ming Dynasty probably died at the hands of the small people." This is what Lin Fucheng said at the end of the article.
Lin Fucheng saw how difficult it was for the Hu people to survive outside the Great Wall. It was so difficult for the Hu people to survive, but in Kaipingwei, 80% of them were Han people, not Hu people.
This is a ratio that Lin Fucheng cannot understand. This ratio also exists in Suiyuan.
Why did the people of the Ming Dynasty rather endure such bitter cold and even precarious life than go out to seek a living? This triggered Lin Fucheng's thinking.
During the visit, Lin Fucheng saw the alienation of people by religion, and also saw the displacement of the people.
In Lin Fucheng's view, the lost soul of Ming Dynasty is people-oriented.
In the early years of the country, the Ming Dynasty seized the Zhengshuo of the world from Hu Yuan, and the distribution among the subordinates was achieved by military garrison. With the destruction of the military garrison, the Ming Dynasty lost its control. The ability to distribute to the lower levels, and since the Zhengtong years, there has been no intention at all to resume downward distribution.
Lin Fucheng believes that this is the root of all the problems in Ming Dynasty.
When Hai Rui was the governor of Yingtian, Dai Fengxiang was impeached by Dai Fengxiang. The charges against Hai Rui were: harboring traitors, exploiting the gentry, and causing chaos in government.
It is a big joke that the wealthy Jin gentry is a rich man, but the imperial court still promoted Hai Rui and forced him to take a job, that is, to force him to become an official.
Mo Dao Shiren's one eye provoked rebellion in the Yellow River world. This was the reason for Hu Yuan's demise. It was the choice of the poor coolies who made up the majority.
Will Ming Dynasty reach this ending one day?
After Lin Fucheng finished writing, Li Zhi frantically made amends. The lost soul of Ming Dynasty is being slowly recovered by the supreme saint. Your Majesty, the king, the lord of all the subjects in the world, is endowed with heroic judgment and wisdom. , can be Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, Wen, and Wu.
Li Zhi knew the identity of Mr. Huang. Lin Fucheng's speech was so bold that it was almost insurrectionary, which really frightened Li Zhi to the extreme. Li Zhi was so flattering that he could only say that His Majesty is the emperor of eternity.
But Li Zhi still agreed with Lin Fucheng's speech and signed the article.
"Your Majesty, are you going to kill these two crazy men or not?" Zhao Mengyou was still waiting for the emperor's decision.
"Forget it, let them continue their study tour. As for this article, let Wan Dazai polish it up before publishing it in the magazine." Zhu Yijun made the decision to save the lives of these two madmen. .
Let Wan Shihe polish it because Li Zhi's flattery is too blunt and to make the article less ugly, but the main content and central idea will not change.
Lin Fucheng wrote such an article in the hope that Ming Dynasty could find its lost soul.
