"mean!"
After Fang Congzhe learned about Li Ruhua's assassination, he immediately put down the "Huang Ming Holy Instructions" he was studying and understanding, and said something.
"They are threatening us who are loyal to His Majesty, and they are also threatening His Majesty!"
Fang Shihong also said something.
"That's why my father said they were despicable. They actually wanted to assassinate a first-class minister who had become an official in the imperial court. They still couldn't get a high position and could only resort to these despicable tricks!
No wonder His Majesty doesn't take them seriously, they have nothing worthy of being admired! Fortunately, we are on His Majesty's side. Otherwise, if we really stand on their side, the country will be destroyed sooner or later in the hands of these people. They are unethical and violate the duties of a scholar! Even if Mr. Li offended them, what Mr. Li did to pass the test would benefit the country and the people! How come they have such disregard for justice! "
Fang Congzhe sneered as he said this: "It's too easy to threaten us and His Majesty with this. They lost the moment they didn't dare to rebel directly!"
"What my father is saying is, let alone the current Holy One's strong will, even if the court changes to a new emperor ten thousand years later, those who have taken advantage of sea trade will never be willing to give Haili back to them! They will only do this It will force His Majesty not to let them go!"
Fang Shihong nodded in agreement.
"I won't let them go! No one can have the intention to subvert the Ming Dynasty! Nor can they have the intention to threaten the emperor! Only His Majesty has the final say in the world! This is the way of governing the country that the Ming Dynasty should abide by! "
Fang Congzhe replied in a cold tone.
Fang Shihong was shocked and thought to himself: "When did my father become so loyal to this extent?"
What he didn't know was that his father Fang Congzhe had already chosen absolute monarchy.
…
"I will not let go of these people who dare to murder Li Aiqing behind the scenes! These people are ignoring my principles and national laws! So, Aiqing, please rest assured, I have asked Dongchang to investigate strictly. If Dongchang cannot find out, I will directly Replace the factory director of Dongchang!"
After Li Ruhua recovered from his injury, Zhu Youxiao summoned him and said this to him.
After Zhu Youxiao said this, Wei Zhongxian on the side couldn't help but tremble, and thought to himself: "I won't sleep tonight! I have to go to the factory again to give a lecture in person!"
When Li Ruhua heard the postscript, he felt deeply in his heart and couldn't help but swallow more: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"However, Li Aiqing, you must have understood that some people don't want you to return to your hometown to take care of yourself in old age;
So, in my opinion, you’d better not go back. Retiring to your old age is not a way to support yourself. It’s better to stay in the capital. It’s safer. In addition, the imperial doctors here are definitely better than those at home. If you have a headache or fever, it’s better to stay in the capital. So you can directly ask me to send an imperial doctor for treatment. Also, I have already asked people to build a new city in the western suburbs. I am going to dig out several large lakes, build some gardens, and then build them next to my new Dabie Garden. And when you arrive You can also buy a place to live, so that if I summon you in the future, you will not be in too much trouble. Although you have become an official, it is naturally not suitable for you to work hard with paperwork, but idleness is idle. It is better to train some underachievers for the court and teach them. True official knowledge;
In the Ming Dynasty, there were Imperial Colleges for clergymen, but there were no schools to teach officials, so many officials did not know how to manage politics. Therefore, I intend to set up a Ming Dynasty political school to train some officials in political affairs.
As for this school, I am not at ease if someone else is in charge. I have decided to let you, the old Heavenly Official, serve as the priest. Also, I have decreed the establishment of an imperial study room. When the time comes, you will serve as the chief master of my imperial study room. No. The government's power is only to talk to me and make plans when I go to the imperial study, so as to prevent me from growing old too quickly. "
The assassination of Li Ruhua made Zhu Youxiao realize that he could let these veteran officials who were still loyal to the country stay in the capital to serve as his advisers, and at the same time undertake some tasks of educating internal affairs officials.
After all, many officials in the Ming Dynasty still have no so-called vocational training.
But in the future, Ming Dynasty is about to enter an era where various technologies and productivity will explode, and a variety of new social relationships will emerge in large numbers. The requirements for the professional standards of officials will become higher and higher.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao felt that he must pay close attention to the vocational training of officials, instead of letting a scholar who has just passed the Jinshi examination to take charge of a county after coming out of his study, or even take charge of a county like Songjiang and Shanghai where the working class has emerged. .
"Your Majesty has far-sighted plans. I dare not refuse. I obey your order!"
Li Ruhua was quite disappointed. He did not expect that his plan to return to his hometown for retirement would come to nothing. Not only did the people he offended not want him to return to his hometown alive, but even his Majesty the Emperor did not let him go to his old age after he became an official.
He even felt that his Majesty must have planned it a long time ago, and he didn't want to let any old minister go back easily and live a comfortable life with the honorary silver rewarded by the court, but now he took advantage of his assassination to speak out about it. .
Next, Li Ruhua wrote many poems about his hometown.
But there is no doubt that Zhu Youxiao was right to keep Li Ruhua and other senior ministers around as advisers.
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, with the current boom in the government-run textile industry, people who have land must pay attention to the large-scale conversion of rice into mulberry. It is best for the imperial court to issue a strict order prohibiting the conversion of rice into mulberry, and to prohibit the conversion of rice into mulberry. Those who impose heavy taxes will prevent the local government from running out of warehouses and avoid shortages of food and fodder when natural and man-made disasters occur."
For example, now that Li Ruhua has become an adviser to Emperor Zhu Youxiao, he has pointedly pointed out the hidden worries caused by excessive development of the textile industry.
Zhu Youxiao stared deeply at the white clouds outside the palace wall without saying anything. After a while, he said: "I have sent someone to pass the order to Yuan Chonghuan, so that he can fold cotton to replace the three million stone grain he wants from North Korea. , However, what Aiqing said should be implemented immediately. I originally planned to ask the cabinet to issue an order in this regard immediately. However, the ones who really occupy the most acres in the world are the nobles and the feudal princes. The nobles are quite restless, and only the feudal lords are. The king is a nobleman of the royal family, and I am not afraid of taking on the reputation of being mean and ruthless to the clan. But once I do this, I will go against the whole world's wealthy people, and prevent them from colluding with a certain vassal king, and then there will be no one around me. !”
"Your Majesty is very worried. I have already thought about it for you. Now, by taking advantage of the official position, your Majesty has made everyone in the court return to their hearts. The decrees are passed without hindrance, and the soldiers obey orders. No one inside or outside the court dares to betray the monarch.
It is said that no one dares to resist and disobey this decree, but people's hearts are unpredictable, and it is difficult to guarantee that some people do not take the safety of the country into consideration and only have selfish motives. Therefore, I have a plan:
I ask your Majesty to ask your Majesty to mobilize all the officials in the court. It is my own idea to see how many people are willing to take the initiative to request this imperial edict to control the scale of converting rice into mulberry. Once the majority of people are willing, it will be a good thing and it can be done. If most people are unwilling to distinguish between loyal and traitorous people, then your Majesty can appease everyone by killing one of his ministers. "
Li Ruhua knew that he had no chance to return to his hometown for retirement.
Therefore, he felt that since he could not return to his hometown to do something for the villagers, he might as well spend the rest of his life doing something for the country, and take revenge on those who wanted to stop the imperial government's new policy behind the scenes, because these people actually wanted to assassinate him, and since he was not harmed If he dies, it will naturally be his turn to fight back.
For Li Ruhua, he has entered his old age anyway, he doesn't have many years to live, and he doesn't care about the consequences.
It is precisely because of this that he is willing to take the initiative to take the blame for the emperor in the future, if the emperor needs him to take the blame.
In this case, he can also gain a share of the emperor's favor and keep the wealth that his Li family has been given by the emperor.
After Zhu Youxiao heard this, he had to admit that people like Li Ruhua were really scheming.
At this time, Liu Ruoyu suddenly ran over: "Your Majesty, there is news from the harem that the Queen's amniotic fluid has broken!"
"What! Quick, show off to Kunning Palace!"
Zhu Youxiao stood up hurriedly.
But at this time, Li Ruhua stopped in front of Zhu Youxiao: "I congratulate your majesty. Now it seems that the queen is about to give birth to an heir. Your majesty may wish to wait for the good news here. In addition, I ask your majesty to issue an order immediately. If the emperor has an heir, If something happens, everyone in Kunning Palace will be executed!"
Zhu Youxiao glanced at Li Ruhua in surprise.
Civil officials are not much worse than me when it comes to ruthlessness!
Finally, Principal Zhu You took a breath, regained his seriousness, and told Liu Ruoyu: "According to what Li Aiqing said, if anything happens to the emperor and the queen, everyone in Kunning Palace will be buried with him! Ling Chi! Including you!"
When Liu Ruoyu heard what Zhu Youxiao said, he couldn't help but shiver all over and felt a chill to his bones.
"My slave, I obey your order! I'll go now!"
