The courtiers here are not happy.
The emperor Zhu Gaoxu also felt uncomfortable.
He did get mad at it in the morning, so he was happy.
But after he was happy, trouble also came. Prince Zhu Zhanhe was whispering in his ears at the moment.
"Father, after all you are also the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, how can you act like a common citizen..."
"How can any emperor humiliate hundreds of officials like this? How will the world view you as an emperor thousands of years later..."
"Besides, my father shouldn't have pushed the courtiers too far, and even threatened them harshly. How unbecoming is this..."
I have to admit that Zhu Zhanhe has been taught very well in the past few years. At least he is a perfect prince who knows etiquette and observes etiquette. Even those strict scholars cannot find any mistakes.
But now that Zhu Gaoxu heard his casual thoughts, he felt a little pain in his forehead.
"Prince, aren't you grounded?"
"You are blatantly disobeying the imperial edict. Go back and think about your mistakes behind closed doors..."
"Father!" Zhu Zhanhe said anxiously, "If you don't show dignity to officials, sooner or later there will be trouble!"
Zhu Zhanhe was indeed in a hurry, because after the first court, all the officials in the court, such as Xie Jin and Gu Zuo, came to him and hinted to him overtly and covertly to persuade the emperor.
After all, Emperor Wude had just scolded all the officials in the morning court, so even confidants like Xie Jin and Gu Zuo did not dare to jump out and cause trouble for the emperor at this time.
But I don’t dare to go back, I still have to say what needs to be said!
In recent times, Emperor Wude's temper has become increasingly irritable and bad!
The court is a place where monarch and ministers cooperate and confront each other.
When courtiers treat the emperor, they are never submissive, but they fight when they should fight.
For example, the former Song Dynasty Hall was famous for its ministers dared to criticize even the emperor, but the emperor did not dare to talk back because he could not scold him.
The monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty were more like a harmonious cooperation.
Of course, except for the Hongwu Dynasty, the founder of the country had supreme prestige, so no one dared to disobey the will of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.
But in the Jianwen Dynasty and Yongle Dynasty, the atmosphere in the court was much more harmonious!
For example, during the Yongle Dynasty, Emperor Yongle wanted to make the Northern Expedition. Xia Yuanji and other ministers repeatedly advised him, even threatening to resign. These were all acts of remonstrance.
The emperor also understands the difficulties of his ministers, and will not get angry because of this, shouting and killing at every turn.
After all, cooperation is not necessarily happy, and quarrels can also occur when political opinions differ.
The courtiers' opposition to the emperor's decision was not a serious sin, it was a normal phenomenon.
Did Emperor Yongle scold Xia Yuanji less often?
In anger several times, Xia Yuanji was thrown into prison, but not long after, he was fished out and reinstated, and they discussed together how to raise money and food.
This is a very good way for monarchs and ministers to get along!
It is understandable that when people have different political opinions, they will quarrel and quarrel.
But noisy and noisy, noisy and noisy, the business that needs to be done still needs to be done.
Moreover, the emperor cannot directly kill people because of political disagreements. Once this precedent is set, he will never be able to escape the label of "faint emperor" or "tyrant".
For example, Emperor Taizu Gao liked to kill people whenever he disagreed, so much so that he was dubbed a "tyrant". This reputation will stay with him thousands of years later!
Relying on killing people to silence his ministers is the most stupid and incompetent expression of the emperor!
Zhu Zhanhe also understood this, so he was anxious now.
He did not want to see his father, who had worked hard for the Ming Dynasty his whole life, end up being called a "foolish king" or a "tyrant".
Zhu Gaoxu was a little impatient, but he also understood that his son had good intentions, so he remained silent.
Seeing that Zhu Zhanhe was still talking nonstop, with no intention of stopping, he couldn't help it anymore.
"Prince, the water here is too deep and you can't control it. Listen to dad's advice and go back and stay calm."
"Father, as the prince, my son should have the responsibility to serve the king and to protect the people. If my father continues like this..."
"Okay, okay, stop nagging!"
Zhu Gaoxu was also annoyed by him and planned to educate this cheap son.
"I know what you want to say. You are just worried that I will do whatever I want and kill indiscriminately!"
"But if you take a serious look, who are the people I killed? They were either people who gathered to persecute the royal family, or people who secretly plotted to destabilize our Ming Dynasty. Shouldn't these people be killed?"
"Not only should they be killed, I also feel that the number of kills is too little. If we don't kill more clowns to deter them, they will appear again and obstruct the implementation of the new policy by the imperial court!"
Zhu Gaoxu sneered: "Didn't I give them dignity before?"
"I said hello to those court officials early!"
"As early as possible, hand over the unowned land in Lingbei to Jin Shen for development and profit!"
"But what are these people doing now? They have used conspiracy and tricks again and again to try to force me to interrupt the implementation of the New Deal. Do you think they should be killed?"
"Deserves to be killed!" Zhu Zhanhe answered directly without hesitation.
As the prince, he is not a cowardly fool who is really good at women's hands.
Don't forget, Zhu Zhanhe fought with Zhu Di in the Northern Expedition. He could not be said to be decisive in killing, but he was not a kind woman either.
After becoming a grandson, Zhu Zhanhe began to cultivate his moral character and treat his officials courteously, thus gaining a reputation as a virtuous person.
"Those people really deserve to be killed!"
"But there has to be a limit, right?"
"My father set up party prisons twice, which made people in the government and the public panic and panic!"
"If this continues, the court will be unstable, people's thoughts will be disturbed, and chaos will arise in Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Gaoxu sneered when he heard this and didn't take it seriously at all.
"What other troubles could arise?"
"As long as I am still alive, this Ming Dynasty will not be in chaos!"
"But my father, the literati are as sharp as swords. If you really push them into a hurry, your reputation will definitely be... stinky!"
Zhu Zhanhe mentioned this matter again. This was what worried him the most.
Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand nonchalantly, already mentally prepared for this.
"From the moment I made up my mind to implement the idea of dividing households into households, I have already made preparations for this."
"It's just a little bit of fame. If it stinks, it will stink. Anyway, your father's and my reputation haven't gotten much better from beginning to end!"
"If you can use these so-called reputations to exchange for the people of the world to have food and clothing, your father and I, the emperor, will make the profit!"
Emperor Yongzheng of the Manchu Qing Dynasty implemented three major policies of reform: dividing the land into acres, returning fire to the public, and officials and gentry working as errands to pay the grain. Those who benefited were the people at the bottom. The poor people who had no land or little land directly benefited, and all the taxes were reduced or eliminated. The taxes he paid made him a good emperor who worked hard to govern.
But precisely because of this, Yongzheng pushed the scholars so hard that he was blackmailed to the extreme by those scholars.
As the saying goes, scholars kill people with pens rather than knives. After all, this is a feudal society, and public opinion is in the hands of these educated officials and gentry. Can we have any good evaluation of this emperor?
But is Zhu Gaoxu afraid?
He's afraid of a hammer!
His reputation as the Prince of Han was not very good from the beginning, so why should he be burdened by these false reputations?
Implementing the New Deal, benefiting the people, and benefiting the common people is the responsibility of the Son of Heaven!
As for those so-called names before and after life, let others comment!
