Zhu Ciwei now fully understands why the ministers in the past were so active in asking the emperor to make him the prince, even risking their lives to advise him.
It turns out that there is a huge consortium operating here.
But what Zhu Ciwei had to admit was that, based on what Chen Que had written, if he turned a blind eye to this matter without conscience, he would be sorry for the whole of China and even the entire Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, Zhu Ciwei became entangled.
But when I think about it, if I let these people do this, even if I become an emperor, I will be boring and unable to do serious things. I am afraid I will have to follow the will of these people and be no different from a puppet.
What's more, it is his father who really decides the throne.
Therefore, Zhu Ciwei finally decided to report the matter to Zhu Youxiao.
Qinzheng Hall.
After Zhu Youxiao saw the contents of the telegram sent by Zhu Ciwei, the hand holding the telegram started to tremble, and he bit his lips tightly and said:
"It's okay. I haven't died yet, yet I dare to act like this. If I were really no longer in this world, wouldn't they all dare to recognize the monarchs of other countries as their lords, and then massacre our Han people together with the foreigners, and they would also follow suit Zhang Hongfan built a monument to destroy the Ming Dynasty?!"
"Xuanfu ministers come to see me!"
"This is rebellion!"
But after the ministers saw Chen Que's letter, Liu Hongxun said something first.
"Looking at this situation, it seems that the East-West Factory and the civil and military teams have colluded under the banner of the Emperor's Eldest Son Party!"
Zhu Xieyuan said.
"You are right, this is a collective betrayal of me!"
Zhu Youxiao said something, and then said: "Fortunately, my son can still distinguish the important and the important, and he has not colluded with them because of this. This Chen Que is also a man with a clear conscience and has his own thinking. Although he has not yet Make a plan, but you are already asking us between the lines!”
"He is asking: Why is his wife Wang so virtuous? Although her wealth has increased, it is far less than that of some romantic women. Why, after the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, most of the increased wealth went to those in power and their vassals, instead of hard-working The wealth of producers is not increasing as much as these people?!
In addition, there is the flow of surplus population. How come those foreigners failed to become cheap labor force, but instead flowed into the hands of powerful families and became their accomplices in oppressing good people. Does this indicate that the Ming Dynasty will one day repeat the Anshi Rebellion? Using the barbarians to oppress the people of the same ethnic group, eventually causing the barbarians to become bigger? ! "
Zhu Youxiao continued.
"What your Majesty is saying is that I am wondering whether this is no longer an accidental thing, but has gradually become a trend. There are even people with ulterior motives who are using the banner of other princes to amass money and waste public funds, so that the local The deficit is serious, and the other princes did not know the truth like the eldest son and reported it to His Majesty."
Due to the large number of central government affairs, Sun Chuanting, who had recently joined the political affairs hall, said something at this time.
Zhu Youxiao frowned because of this and said: "So, is this forcing me to copy my own son in the future?!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down. This is naturally not the fault of the princes, but the way the world is. If you want to prevent cliques from growing, the court still has to deal with it."
Sun Chuanting immediately replied.
Lu Xiangsheng, the new assistant minister who also joined the Zhengshitang, said: "According to my words, it is better to directly issue an order to kill all the foreign barbarians in the areas directly controlled by the Ming Dynasty! To avoid chaos in the future!"
"Kill them all, where will the cheap labor come from?"
Zhu Xieyuan asked at this time.
"Anyway, these Fanyi natives would rather work as slaves for big families than enter factories, so why not kill them all!"
Lu Xiangsheng replied resolutely.
As a minister who made his fortune through military service, Lu Xiangsheng further advocated the iron-fisted method of getting rid of all those who did not conform to his ideals.
Sun Chuanting also had the same character as Lu Xiangsheng, so he said: "This is a way! In areas like Ludao that are directly ruled by the Ming Central Empire, these Japanese can be killed directly! If they really need to do something, they can Castrate them first to eliminate their species, and keep their lives temporarily to maintain production. When these eunuched Japanese grow old, the number of new Han people will have already increased, which will make up for this shortcoming."
"Although this is a method, the big families who adopt these foreigners as slaves are not willing to do so. They are afraid that they still want these foreigners to be slaves, and their servants can live forever!"
Liu Hongxun replied.
"The fundamental threat is not from these foreigners, but from ourselves!"
Zhu Youxiao said something at this time, stood up, and continued: "Among us Han people, there are many morally corrupt people who, in order to be superior people and to be extravagant, would rather ignore the justice of the nation and the country. , dare to collude with foreigners to oppress compatriots for their own gain! They even treat compatriots as cattle and sheep, slaughtering them at will! They have no respect for the law, no kindness to their compatriots, and they can even give up their own dignity!"
"Like Xiao Linglong in the incident recorded by Chen Que, as a daughter of the Han family, she was willing to be reduced to a plaything, and she expected to be a master in the future! Perhaps, as long as the benefits are big enough, these people dare to sell themselves and strangle themselves The rope!”
"As the Ming Dynasty has come to this day and become more and more commercial, some of the drawbacks of commercialization have begun to appear. Commerce not only gives people the motivation to work hard, but also amplifies their desires. Even if all the foreigners are killed, There will still be people who are willing to degenerate and be willing to become the accomplices of the powerful, oppressing the good, and destroying the moral foundation and credibility of the entire society, and the powerful will eventually reap the consequences and be destroyed by these powerful slaves."
Just after Zhu Youxiao said this, Wang Chengen said: "Your Majesty, Duke Yu Guo wants to see you."
Honoring the Duke of the country means being strict with oneself.
Since Zhu Youxiao came to the throne, he has made great efforts in martial arts, and has promoted meritorious service and ministers of civil and military affairs. Therefore, Bi Ziyan, who was once the chief assistant, has long been promoted as the Duke of the country.
Zhu Youxiao did not expect that Bi Ziyan would suddenly come to Beijing to ask for a meeting with him, so he said: "Announce your meeting immediately."
At the same time, Zhu Youxiao walked out in person.
After all, the monarch and his ministers had been separated for a long time, and he still missed them a little.
Human beings are not like grass and trees. How can we be ruthless? Even if we have worked together for many years, we will never be without feelings.
After seeing Bi Ziyan, Zhu Youxiao's mood improved a lot, and he smiled and said, "Why did Aiqing come to Beijing suddenly?"
Bi Ziyan said: "I just want to go to the capital to see His Majesty while I can still walk. In this way, even if I close my eyes immediately, I will be satisfied."
"It's rare that you still think about me!"
Zhu Youxiao laughed because of this: "Give me a seat!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Bi Ziyan replied.
However, Bi Ziyan's visit to Beijing was not really because he missed the emperor.
A leader is never a likable role, especially his direct boss.
Basically, if you can't see it, you can't see it.
Bi Ziyan rushed to Beijing in person to ask for an audience with the emperor, naturally because he had something important to do.
Zhu Youxiao also knew it, so he didn't speak at first, but waited for Bi Ziyan to express his intention.
Bi Ziyan tremblingly took out a thick memorial from his sleeve and said: "Your Majesty, over the years I have been running the school, I followed Xu Xiake and went to many places. I discovered many not good things. , and may even affect the future of China and the long-term existence of the Ming Dynasty, I found that the free development of the commodity economy in these years has reached a point where it is inevitable to control it!"
