"Mr. Ge, why does your Majesty suddenly want to read the living notes? We are unprepared!"
Li Jiantai became anxious after knowing Han Xu's purpose, and he even looked a little excited because of it.
Han Xu looked at him in astonishment: "How can we prepare for this? The Hanlin Academy does not need to calculate all kinds of expenditures. It just shows His Majesty the truthful records of daily life."
Li Jiantai said: "How can the emperor easily observe his own daily life? This is against the norm! Mr. Ge, you should remonstrate and stop him."
"Ridiculous! Where is this routine? Stop giving your servants a bad look!"
Han Xu said something and returned to the political hall to reply.
Not long after, Li Jiantai and other officials from Lin Qingliu also came to Zhu Youxiao.
"Where's the daily note?"
As soon as he saw these Hanlin Qingliu, Zhu Youxiao started asking.
At this time, Li Jiantai stood up and reported: "Your Majesty, the content of the daily notes is related to the objectivity of history compilation. It is inappropriate for the emperor to observe it and then interfere with the historian's writing!"
Zhu Youxiao glanced at Li Jiantai in surprise: "That's unreasonable!"
Then, Zhu Youxiao said: "But you are right. Daily attention is indeed related to the objectivity of history, but it is because it is related to the objectivity of history, so I want to see for myself what I have done and what my ministers have done. You can all remember which things, I will not interfere, but I also have to see what things you did not remember, so that future generations will not be able to learn from this!"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Some things were not recorded because of three taboos. This is also humane."
Li Jiantai replied.
Zhu Youxiao immediately slapped the table and shouted: "Absurd! When did I say that there are three taboos? Daily Notes, Daily Notes are the materials for compiling history. If they are all taboo, how can history be made!"
Zhu Youxiao said, "In that case, bring me the living notes. I will take a closer look and see how you cover up for me."
Li Jiantai was lying on the ground at this time, and with trembling hands, he hurriedly presented the daily notes to Zhu Youxiao.
"...I slapped Yang Lian on the right side of the military department for the incident, and later demoted him after listening to the words of the chief assistant Fang Congzhe..."
"... Go up to the Zuoshun Gate and go to the East Factory to kill Minister Fuku..."
When Zhu Youxiao saw this, he couldn't help but said: "You didn't say anything for me, but you did it for some criminals. For example, when I slapped Yang Lian, it was because he pulled me. Why didn't this reason be recorded? Listen to Yuan. Fu Zhi said that he should be demoted because he was initially considered to be guilty of death. Later, Yuan Fu admonished him and interceded for him, so I spared him the death penalty and demoted him to a foreign country. However, the matter of pleading for mercy was not mentioned, and the matter of avoiding death was not mentioned. It’s rare for me to forgive you like this, but it’s not a good outcome, right? It’s better to just kill him in the first place!”
Li Jiantai was sweating like rain at this time: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, these are not recorded by me. I had not yet entered the Imperial Academy at that time."
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao simply turned to the back first, but he only saw Yuan Keli's murder of the clan, and the fact that he, the emperor, had recently decreed that Zhang Wanchun should be taken into custody and put in shackles by Uba, but he did not remember the permanent abolition of corvee service.
"I ordered a Tatar to wear shackles to go to the palace. Why is it that such a good governance as the permanent abolition of corvee is not worthy of leaving a few words in the daily notes? What kind of history did you Hanlin compile! I think you are being negligent. Duty, with evil intentions, I would rather record the events of the Tatars than record the lives of the people in the world!"
As Zhu Youxiao spoke, he threw the living note to the ground, and then ordered: "Pass the decree, drag down Li Jiantai, who is in charge of the Hanlin Academy, and put him in jail or die!"
Li Jiantai couldn't help but trembled, and kowtowed hurriedly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me! I just haven't had time to remember it, I haven't had time to remember it! Really, I don't dare to deceive Your Majesty!"
"How long has this matter been announced? The magistrates of Liangxiang have already reported the implementation of the exemption from corvee. Is the Hanlin Academy, which has always been idle, busier than the six cabinet ministries? It has not yet recorded this matter, only a few strokes It’s just a matter of fulfilling the duty of a historian, just objectively describing a few strokes without judging the merits, what’s so difficult about it, why has it been delayed until now?!”
Zhu Youxiao shouted and asked.
"As the official in charge of the Hanlin Academy, you cannot escape the crime of dereliction of duty. In addition, you let the Hanlin only remember the monarch's power and not the monarch's kindness. It is considered a bad intention. You should be sentenced to prison for your crime!"
Zhu Youxiao continued.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Although Li Jiantai is guilty, he may not be dead. It may just be an oversight."
Bi Ziyan couldn't help but plead for Li Jiantai at this time.
Zhu Youxiao looked at him and said, "What are you begging for for him? Even if you beg for him, people like these high-ranking officials will not accept your favor. Didn't you hear what I just said about Yang Lian? At that time, if it weren't for Yuan Fu, I killed this disrespectful person a long time ago. Now it’s a good thing. The daily notes only say that it was Yuan Fu who slandered him and demoted him, but did not record his plea for mercy. I’m afraid you won’t be disappointed if you plead for him today. Good! In my opinion, no matter who asks for mercy in the future, he should not forgive anyone, and he will not be appreciated anyway."
"Your Majesty! None of this has anything to do with me! I don't know about this. If I knew about it, I would definitely ask for an order to re-write it! Oh! Your Majesty, please spare me the death penalty."
Li Jiantai cried.
"You've been in charge of Hanlin for a while. Why didn't you even read the daily notes? It shows that you are derelict in your duty!"
Zhu Youxiao said: "No need to say more, go down below and defend yourself to Taizu."
Zhu Youxiao then ordered: "The rest of the Hanlin also committed crimes of knowing and not avenging, and they will all be sent to prison to face the crime! Officials were re-entered into the Hanlin, and the prince Zhu Yujian of the Tang Dynasty was also appointed as the Imperial Lecturer, and the Prince Consort Gong Yonggu was appointed as the Hanlin I am a bachelor and an official in charge of daily life, and I am re-editing the daily life notes! Tell the Hanlin Academy that the first point in compiling the daily life notes is to record the decree that permanently abolishes the corvee in the world. There is no need to judge, but be sure to remember it in detail. In addition, I I just discovered that the Han traitor Feng Quan and others were cast into white iron kneeling statues and the ancestral graves of their family ancestral halls were converted into public toilets. I have not recorded them. I will also record them next. There must be no omissions. I will take the time to check."
"According to the order!"
The ministers replied.
And Zhu Youxiao continued: "Let me worry less in the future! What's so difficult about compiling a history? Just write down everything that happens every day, and there is no need to judge. If you can't even do the job of compiling a history, , what else can I do! I am not afraid that you will record what cruel things I have done, but I will not allow anyone to have no moral integrity when recording daily notes, intentionally record less or omit records, and there is no need to keep taboos. Do not let future generations After seeing this period of history, one would mistakenly think that the monarch is perfect and the ministers are also perfect, all of them are honest, loyal, and selfless. Does such a daily life make sense?!"
At this time, Li Jiantai cried again: "Your Majesty! These were all done by Liang Tingdong, the right minister of the Ministry of War, who instigated me! I was just temporarily possessed by evil spirits, and mistakenly believed his words, thinking that the permanent abolition of corvee in the world should be recorded in my daily life notes. , it will mislead future generations, so I didn’t remember it. Now I regret it so much, please give me another chance to change my ways! Woo hoo!”
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
Other Hanlins also begged for mercy.
Zhu Youxiao asked coldly: "Misleading future generations? How can you mislead if you only objectively record the fact that I decreed the abolition of corvee in the world? If you don't record this fact, you are misleading! Or, you don't Are you willing to acknowledge my achievements, but not willing to acknowledge Ming’s current achievements?! What are your intentions!”
