Chapter 10 People!
“But it’s all fake!!!”
One stone stirred up a thousand waves. As beautiful as the previous words were, this twist is so creepy.
Zhu Biao’s face was livid.
He had actually expected a turning point, but it was still a bit unexpected that the turning point came so quickly.
Zhu Biao grabbed the corner of the chair with both hands, anger suppressed on his stern cheeks, but the officials were by his side, so he did not explode directly.
He said coldly: "It's nonsense. How can these evil words slander His Majesty's wisdom and prowess? The love of the people of our country for Your Majesty can be learned from heaven and earth. How can these nonsense be slandered?"< br>
"This is really unreasonable."
"Absurd!"
Zhao Mao, the Minister of Rites, said: "I ask for an order to arrest this troublemaker immediately."
>
"If these lawless people, who confuse right and wrong, and slander right and wrong, continue to be allowed to go unpunished, they may have a very bad impact on your Majesty's reputation."
"I request an order to investigate strictly."
"I think that this person who dares to be so crazy and bold to cause trouble in the imperial examination must have been planning for a long time. I am worried that he still has accomplices and did it deliberately."
"I am frightened and will continue to do so. There will be a follow-up."
The imperial censor Tang Yougongye said: "Since your Majesty started the army, he has always loved the people like a son, and it is well-known among the people."
"If His Majesty had not driven away the Tartars, our Chinese people would still be living in dire straits and under the iron heel of the Yuan people. Such merits can be learned from heaven and earth. How can we tolerate such slander and slander."
"I request your highness to order a thorough investigation."
"I request your highness to order a thorough investigation." In the palace, other ministers echoed the words. The words in this article are really ridiculous.
How can any of those sentences be false?
It was clearly done by His Majesty.
No one with any sense would use those words to slander His Majesty, but this person spoke arrogantly and disrespectfully, which is really ridiculous.
It makes no sense.
This so-called anti-article is completely malicious and slanderous. It is not worth listening to, not worth thinking about, and cannot withstand any scrutiny.
It’s completely counterproductive.
This is extremely absurd.
Zhu Biao's face softened slightly and he said calmly: "Justice lies in the heart of the people. It cannot be made up casually to confuse right and wrong. Your Majesty's kindness to the people and your great achievements in the world are obvious to everyone in the world."
" Keep reading. "
Li Shanchang's eyes dodge, and he already regrets taking this hot test paper, but Zhu Biao has orders and he has to obey.
Li Shanchang took a deep breath and continued: "It is also the officials all over the world who cater to Emperor Hongwu and whitewash the peace. It's just that they have heard so much flattery that people actually believe it."
< br>“Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, local peasant uprisings have continued, and the guard system under the military system has gradually collapsed. Officials have no way to make a living, the people’s support is against them, and the officials’ support is against them. This is the worst in all dynasties.”
"The root of it."
"It lies in Emperor Hongwu's Huaiyou cloth!"
"For the people, Emperor Hongwu came from a young age and understood the people best and knew their sufferings. Therefore, many major policies are based on caring for the people, but in fact they are the most superficial to the people."
"The Fish Scale Atlas completely determines the people's future and livelihood. , there will never be a chance to make a comeback. "
" They are trying to restore order, but they are always superficial, and it is difficult to effectively supervise and promote the world. "
"Under such circumstances, with the decline of imperial power and the rot at the bottom, the people of the world will eventually fall into a desperate situation with no way to survive."
"The only option at that time was rebellion!" "Emperor Hongwu's response to the world The people have no view of the world. They have the heart to love the people, but they have no actions to love the people. They take the world as their own property and abuse the people under the pretense of loving the people. "
" Everyone in the world is a domestic slave. "
"There are no regulations on the management and use of officials, and there is a large-scale killing, but the law has always been ignored and the law is selectively enforced. This will inevitably lead to officials becoming increasingly selective. Law enforcement, utilitarian crime and punishment.”
"Nothing is more harmful to the world than the emperor."
"Every official dare not speak out, the people have no way out, and their livelihood is hard to find."
"In the final analysis."
"This is the identity of a commoner."
"There is nothing wrong with the nature of being a commoner, and it is even enough to be admired and praised by others. But since you are in a high position, you still govern and view the world with the mentality of a commoner, which is a big problem. So wrong.”
"Since ancient times, the pursuit of wealth has been unkind, businessmen have pursued profit, and scholars have pursued fame. The competition between merchants has been the most cruel and cold."
"The people are also the most snobbish among the people, and the competition between officials The reason for this is that businessmen know business, people know people, and officials know officials.”
“Emperor Hongwu was born at the bottom, so he knew the management of the people at the bottom best. Those who have worked hard all the way have a deep understanding of the limits of the bottom. "So the regulations related to the people are extremely calculated." .”
"The same goes for officials."
"Be sure to squeeze the people and officials to the limit, and then give them favors. The thunder, rain and dew are all the favors of the king, and they gain prestige and reputation."
" The world is in its infancy and is in the ascendant. It is a time to recuperate and actively recover, but how can such detailed calculations of the world stimulate the vitality of the officials and the vitality of the people? "
"Ruling a great country? Like cooking small delicacies. ”
“For major national policies, it should be rough rather than detailed, loose rather than tight, and give local governments a certain degree of laxity so that they can adapt to local conditions and the times. This is the right way for the world to recover quickly. .”
"But the Ming Dynasty is the opposite."
"All the rules were set early, including officials' salaries, annual land rent, and the amount of commercial taxes. The so-called 'ancestral laws' were set early. Such absurd behavior is simply unheard of.”
“It is evident from this that Emperor Hongwu fell into the scope of the common people’s vision and resigned himself to becoming a frog in the well.”
< br>"As a person in power, he thinks about the people and deserves the respect of all people. However, the king is the king and the people are the people. After all, they are not the same thing."
"Emperor Hongwu did have the heart to help and love the people, but in the From the moment he became emperor, there was no going back. His people were the people in his mind during the past hardships. ”
"They are not the people of the Ming Dynasty."
"What he rescued were the 'people of the past', the people he saw and came into contact with in the past, not the living people of today, because the current Emperor Hongwu is not the people of the Ming Dynasty." , and cannot reach the people."
"All the people are impressions of the past. Under such circumstances, no matter how much you love the people, you are not loving the real people."
"It is the officials and officials who really know the true situation of the people, but Emperor Hongwu does not trust them. Emperor Hongwu only believes in the people he imagined in his mind."
"It cannot be tampered with."
"No one is allowed to question or argue."
"As Emperor Hongwu reigned longer, his disconnection from the real people at the bottom became more and more serious. He was self-willed, arbitrary and self-righteous."
< br>“In the end, it is just to love the people and abuse them.”
“Come from the people and go to the people.”
“Today’s Hongwu Emperor has long been I have forgotten my original intention, I can’t go to the fields, and I don’t want to ask more about the real people’s sufferings.”
"He only wants to read the memorials submitted by officials."
