How can we destroy the enemy if we can't find them?
This is not a problem, this is a fucking difficulty!
Problems can be solved, but what about difficulties? You can only overcome it! If you can't overcome it, then you can only grit your teeth and endure it.
"Father...there is nothing we can do?"
Han Du shook his head and sighed, "What else can we do? We can only observe and look for it slowly."
However, judging from Han Du's expression, it was obvious that there was no clue to this matter until his father's death. Otherwise, I would not have encountered such a thing as all the officials resigning.
Zhu Biao was a little surprised. He didn't expect that his father, who had always been omnipotent in his mind, would be frustrated sometimes.
At the same time, we have a deeper understanding of the power of officials. These people use family as inheritance and interests as ties to control the power of the court. They want to pass on the power of the court from generation to generation.
Their descendants will be blessed for generations to come, but what about other people? Are you going to have to be reduced to a mere cow and horse from generation to generation, working hard for the descendants of these officials and officials all your life?
"These people really deserve to die!" Although Zhu Biao is kind-hearted by nature, that is not the kindness of a woman who does not distinguish between right and wrong. Regardless of whether he was treating people or officials, Zhu Biao could treat them kindly as long as they made no mistakes, but he could also kill ruthless thieves.
Zhu Biao has been in power for so many years, and no one knows how many prisoners are put to death every year. There were all kinds of people here, and Zhu Biao never even frowned.
"Fortunately, these people were exposed this time, otherwise the harm in the future would be unimaginable!" Zhu Biao sighed with emotion.
Han Du nodded in agreement. Enemies hiding in the dark are the most difficult to deal with. Once they are exposed to the sun, they will be much easier to deal with.
】
For example, this time, if they hadn't jumped out to support Zhu Di, they really wouldn't have been able to find these people. But now, as long as we follow the line of King Yan, no one can escape.
Suddenly, Zhu Biao's heart suddenly trembled, "We may not catch all these people in one fell swoop. Maybe there are still some hiding in the dark."
Thinking of this, Zhu Biao felt angry. These people take their family education as the basis and pass it down from generation to generation. As long as the imperial examination still exists, they will be able to revive again, and then they may start another battle with the imperial power.
This is inevitable. After all, there is only so much authority in the world, and the increase in ministerial power naturally means that the imperial power is weakened. And if the imperial power is weakened to the extreme, it will completely become a puppet emperor.
what to do? Zhu Biao's eyelids drooped slightly, and his pupils shone with light.
Daming Royal Academy! A name suddenly popped into Zhu Biao's mind.
What those officials relied on was nothing more than their knowledge of the imperial examination articles, which indirectly occupied the quota of imperial examination candidates and continued to grow parasitically on the imperial examination road.
As long as their path is cut off, there is no need for me to work hard to find them one by one. These people will naturally disappear from everyone.
Change the way the imperial examination is conducted! As long as they no longer take exams on the Four Books and Five Classics and instead rely on mathematics, physics and chemistry, the knowledge those people treasure will be just a pile of waste paper.
Even without complete changes, just adding these questions to the imperial examination would be enough to eliminate these people.
As long as the academy is firmly in hand, from now on, the imperial examination, a road to heaven, will no longer be controlled by the power of officials, but will become owned by the emperor.
Zhu Biao's eyes became brighter and brighter. When he thought of the benefits of doing this, he could hardly suppress the excitement in his heart.
Um?
Subconsciously, Zhu Biao turned his head and glanced at Han Du. The academy had such a great role. So Han Du had tried his best to open the academy from the beginning. Did he already think of this?
Thinking that even if his father did not allocate any money to Han Du, he would have to build the academy with his own money, Zhu Biao became more and more sure of his thoughts.
"Huh..." Zhu Biao's worries disappeared in an instant, and he turned to look at Zhu Di: "Those civil servants are all people with ulterior motives. If you collude with the problem, aren't you afraid that the entire Ming Dynasty will be plunged into eternal disaster? "
Zhu Di glared back with a cold look: "Gu is not stupid, knowing that since they dare to give such a big benefit to Gu, they will naturally take it back even harder in the future."
"But so what? In this world, whether it's my father, you, or the civil servants, they all look down on me."
Zhu Di said, gradually raising his head and chest, and no longer looked as rickety as before.
Han Du's eyes widened in surprise. He had been in contact with Zhu Di several times, but he had never seen such a scene before. Zhu Di's arrogant look just now, was he pretending to be that on purpose?
As an emperor, Zhu Biao's magnanimity was naturally supreme, but at this moment, Zhu Di was no worse than him.
One was wearing a dragon robe, and the other was wearing a royal robe. The two looked at each other, neither of them wanting to give in at all, and the atmosphere instantly became stiff.
In the end, Zhu Di was defeated first.
Looking away, Youzi changed the subject unconvinced: "If they want to get back the benefits, they must at least wait until Gu ascends to the throne. But by then, Gu is already the emperor, how can they just take it if they want?"
Good guy, this is the first time in Han Du's life that he has seen someone speak so righteously about burning down bridges without blushing at all.
Zhu Di's face is no longer a matter of thickness, he is completely shameless.
"Then when you blew up the Yellow River embankment, you never thought that millions of people in the Jianghuai River would be displaced?" Han Du gritted his teeth and asked the long-standing doubts in his heart. He wanted to see what Zhu Di had in mind at the beginning. What kind of heart would you dare to risk the disapproval of the world and blow up the Yellow River embankment?
"Of course I have thought about it. I have been governing Peiping for many years. Whether it is marching and fighting, or water conservancy and civil administration, everything is not in good order. How could I not have thought about it?" Zhu Di looked at Han Du with complete disdain and said nonchalantly.
Blow, the harder you blow, the more capable you will appear, and the sooner you will die... Han Du rolled his eyes and deliberately did not speak, allowing Zhu Di to let himself go and continue to play.
"I know that the Yellow River bursting its banks will cause disaster to the people, but so what? When I become the emperor alone, I will naturally reduce the taxes in the Jianghuai area to compensate them. Although they are suffering a little now, they will also be able to enjoy happiness in the future! "
"The future?" Han Du shouted sharply: "Do you know how many people drowned in this flood? Do they still have a future?"
Originally, Zhu Di, who was not Han Du, would be a little bit intolerant, but he didn't expect him to smile coldly: "You have been leading troops for many years. Don't you know the truth that one general can make thousands of bones wither? That dragon chair is not flesh and blood. And made of white bones? If you don’t believe it, you can ask your royal brother!”
Of course Han Du would not be such an idiot to ask Zhu Biao this question, and he didn't know how to stop talking for a while.
Zhu Biao would not let Zhu Di be trapped and ended the conversation with a wave of his hand. He stood up and said calmly: "I came here today just to see how you are doing. Since you can eat and sleep, let's do this for now."
After saying that, he glanced at Handu, and the two left one after the other.
Zhu Di stared at the two people until the palace door was tightly closed again. The room dimmed instantly, Zhu Di's eyes were blood red, and tears could not help flowing out of his eyes.
...
Han Du followed Zhu Biao all the way out of Prince Yan's Mansion. He felt something was wrong with his emotions and couldn't help but ask: "How is the emperor going to deal with him?"
When Zhu Biao heard this, he stopped instantly and looked sideways at Han Du: "What do you think I should do?"
Han Du took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, King Yan is rebellious and unethical. He raised weapons and brought chaos to the world. He destroyed the Yellow River without caring about the lives of the people. He committed a heinous crime that cannot be forgiven. If you don't kill him, ??????????? ??????Not enough to thank the world!”
Zhu Biao's brows moved slightly, and then he nodded: "I understand."
...
He and Zhu Biao parted ways, and Han Du returned to his house.
An Qing enthusiastically undressed Han Du with his own hands, "Husband, you must be hungry. I have specially prepared your favorite dish. Please try it."
"Did you do it yourself?" Han Du's face couldn't help but twitch, and he regretted that he came back too early and should have wandered outside a few more times.
As a princess, Anqing had the lowest standard of keeping her fingers clean. It is conceivable that before she got married, let alone cooking, she always had clothes to put out her hands and food to open her mouth.
After marrying into the Han family, Han Du didn't ask her to cook. She cooks based on her preference, but she has no talent for cooking. Every time she makes a dark dish, it is enough to make people look bad.
"Of course not, I made it with the help of the cook." An Qing naturally knew what Han Du meant, and couldn't help but feel a little unconvinced: "Husband, are you so afraid of the food I cooked by myself?"
Is that fear? That's saving your life!
Of course, Han Du would not say this. He quickly stretched out his hand to pull An Qing over and said with a distressed look on his face: "Aren't I afraid that you will be too tired? You can just leave things like cooking to the cook. There is no need to do it yourself. We have to spend our time on more Regarding important things, you see, I never cook."
"Didn't my husband cook with his own hands before?" An Qing was so smart that he naturally understood that Han Du disliked her cooking.
"Huh?" Han Du suddenly lost his composure and explained reluctantly: "In the past...I was very free at that time. Come, come, eat, eat..."
After the two of them finished eating, An Qing poured Han Du a cup of tea.
Han Du took it casually and took a sip. The tea not only washes down the food in your mouth, but also has a strong aroma, which makes people very comfortable.
"Husband."
"Huh?" Han Du looked up at her and said with a smile, "What's wrong with you today?"
An Qing stared nervously: "Husband, how does the emperor plan to deal with fourth brother?"
Hearing An Qing mention Zhu Di, Han Du's brows suddenly furrowed: "What do you want to say?"
