Chapter 42 Scholars are the source of turmoil!
The only thing Zhu Biao knows is that Ming Dynasty should not be like this.
He bowed respectfully and said: "Father, I know that my father does not like scholars, but scholars are indispensable to govern the world. If my father treats scholars like this, won't it chill the hearts of scholars all over the world?"< br>
“How many talents can be selected with this attitude?”
“If the officials selected are all a bunch of cowardly people who only want to protect themselves, then I, the Ming Dynasty, will corrupt them?”
"I hope my father will forgive me."
"My sons and ministers cannot agree with what my father did."
"My father won the country in the most righteous way in ancient and modern times. We should have a broad mind. How can we be so petty towards the world? My father asked his sons to read a lot of books, but among the ancient saint kings and emperors praised by the people, none of them acted like this."
" The son thought that the father was wrong. "
"Shut up!" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly burst out and shouted angrily. He stared at Zhu Biao coldly, like a ferocious beast staring at its prey, and said: "We You don’t need to tell me how to do it.”
"We know what you think."
"But we are not surprised."
"These scholars have been causing troubles since ancient times. If these people hadn't been making troubles behind their backs, the world would have How can there be so many troubles and disasters?”
“We didn’t expect these scholars to govern the country for us.”
“We have already thought about how to govern the country for our descendants.”
"When we take the time later, we will write an "Ancestral Instructions of the Emperor Ming" for our descendants, in which we will write down all the essentials and requirements for governing the country. Then we, the descendants of the Zhu family, will only have to do what I tell them. "
"We have already planned everything for the Ming Dynasty."
"We come from the bottom and have seen too many great clans fall, and the reason why a country falls and the world falls is in the final analysis. One thing is that the descendants like to toss too much."
"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's military aggression, Tang Xuanzong's arrogance and extravagance, etc."
"We have designated a country that will not be conquered for the Ming Dynasty. When the Northern Yuan Dynasty in the desert is destroyed, our Ming Dynasty can live in peace and contentment. We have also learned the lessons of the Yuan Dynasty and understood the financial shortage. "
"So we issued Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes."
"When future emperors are short of money, they can just print them on paper. We are smarter than the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty. The Yuan Dynasty still thought that the court could collect it, but it was a pile of waste Paper, what is the use of the imperial government collecting it? We are only allowed to distribute it, but we are not allowed to collect it.”
“Our Ming Dynasty will never be short of money.” Foreign invasion, no financial problems.”
“Nothing can go wrong in the world.”
"As long as our descendants don't struggle, our Ming Dynasty will last forever."
"Boss, we know that you are ambitious and want to govern the world well in the future, provide peace and tranquility to the people, and let all the people in the world return to their hearts. We support you in doing this."
"But we also have our own ideas."
"It's not easy for us to conquer this country. Many brothers have died, and we can't let those bastards be restless. The descendants of future generations have completely defeated our Ming Dynasty, so we must set the rules in advance.”
“We no longer ask for future generations to be more talented than others.”
"We only hope that they can keep the good foundation we left to them, so that our Ming Dynasty can continue to exist for a long time."
"And these scholars are the source of turmoil."
< br>“They know and understand too much, and they are easily restless.”
“If they continue to act recklessly, sooner or later, future generations will be deceived and instigated into making mistakes and stupidities, so we The arrogance of the scholar-bureaucrats must be knocked down."
"Let them know who is the master of the world."
Zhu Yuanzhang's words were sonorous and unquestionable.
This is Ming Dynasty’s eternal plan.
No one should be allowed to influence us.
Neither can Zhu Biao.
It’s just that this time he used Xia Zhibai’s incident to do what he originally wanted to do in advance, in order to let everyone in the world see the hypocrisy of scholars.
The soldiers kicked down the high platform.
When the so-called sense of superiority in the scholars was erased, they were no different from the farmers and merchants at the bottom.
It is no longer difficult to fight against the imperial power. "Father--" Zhu Biao's voice was choked with sobs.
"That's enough. We are willing to tell you these things because we are worried that you will be too sad when the time comes. We did not ask you to persuade us." Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were full of indifference, with a look of indifference. A little impatient, he said: "This Ming Dynasty is our world, we have the final say!"
Zhu Biao's face turned pale.
He stared blankly at the ferocious-looking Zhu Yuanzhang, with the corners of his mouth opening and closing slightly, but he did not dare to speak anymore. He knew that his father was really angry.
Let’s talk again.
It will only make my father even more angry.
And he understands his father's temper. Once he decides on something, ten cows can't pull him back, not even the mother. However, the mother will clarify the pros and cons to his father when he is calm. Let Father think again.
But now the mother is no longer here.
There is no one in the world who can make my father think twice.
He is not enough.
He had previously thought of using Xia Zhibai's 'test papers' to persuade his father to make some adjustments, but judging from the results, he failed.
It also allowed my father to deepen his original views.
Scholars were believed to be the source of unrest.
Must be suppressed.
The publication of the list this time is the father's intentional 'retaliation', and it is also a strong suppression and humiliation of the scholar-bureaucrat class.
Zhu Biao sighed, his expression full of worry.
Father is too strong and tyrannical.
But what other reasons does he have to persuade?
Xia Zhibai escaped, and Huang Zicheng and others will obviously continue to serve as officials. This all proves the correctness of his father's judgment. Perhaps the only turning point is Xia Zhibai's return.
But what’s the use of coming back?
Can Xia Zhibai really take out one of those divine objects?
Just dying in vain.
Thinking of Daming's current situation and what would happen next, Zhu Biao felt a dull pain in his chest and it became difficult to breathe.
He closed his eyes, with a look of pain on his face.
Then he endured the discomfort, bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang, and left Fengtian Hall.
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head.
I think Zhu Biao is still too kind.
This Daming belongs to our old Zhu family, and no one can touch it.
Let no one have the idea of coercing the emperor and forcing him to submit. Zhu Biao can be soft-hearted, but he cannot. He must be hard-hearted to the end.
Unplug all possible hidden dangers.
There were some things that he had not told Zhu Biao clearly before, but now that Xia Zhibai had poked him like this, he no longer kept it secretive.
He came from the poor peasants.
He is very sure that no one in the descendants of the Zhu family can catch up with him, and he does not believe that there is such a person. As the biggest supporter of the old Zhu family, he must do his best to plan for the old Zhu family, at least the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. Slow down what can be corrupted.
He doesn’t feel despicable.
To achieve great things, one must not stick to trivial matters.
The people of the Ming Dynasty have been oppressed by the Yuan thieves for too long, and many of them were in danger in the past.
I had one meal but not another.
It was he, Zhu Yuanzhang, who saved all the people from dire straits. It was also him, Zhu Yuanzhang, who allowed all people to get rid of the oppression of Yuan thieves and live a peaceful life of working at sunrise and resting at sundown.
He has done enough for the world.
