South Zhili.
As soon as the so-called real culprits behind the framed pro-military guards and slandered Yuanfu Zhang Juzheng were arrested, large-scale rent and interest reductions and strikes demanding processing money took place.
Therefore, the report received by the court was that on one hand, an official said that the rebellion had been put down and requested an end to the severe crackdown; on the other hand, an official said that a civil uprising had begun again, and asked the court to pay attention to it.
"Nanjing Hu Kedu reported the incident to Gao Hongxu, saying that there was no civil unrest in Nanjing. The so-called pro-military guards burning, killing, and raping had also been found out. They were all caused by bandits and anti-New Deal thieves pretending to be pro-military guards. Therefore, I request the imperial court to abolish the patrol team and return them to their fields."
"The governor of Yingtian, Sun Guangyou, sent an urgent report, saying that the civil uprising in Nanzhi was happening again, and it was all about asking Haoyou to reduce rent and interest, and to process money."
At this time, Zhu Yijun read the two memorials and started talking. He then looked at Zhang Juzheng and said, "Sir, what do you think of this matter?"
"Your Majesty, since the civil unrest has not completely disappeared, it is not appropriate to abolish the patrol team. It should be ordered to continue to maintain peace in the Nanzhi area to ensure the safe transportation of taxes, money, taxes and grain into the capital, and to avoid another disorder in the Nanzhi area."
"However, since Governor Yingtian has reported that this new civil uprising did not cause riots, and there was no beating, smashing, looting, burning, killing or looting, then we can withdraw the decree that all crimes committed in Wu will be treated as rebels, and Ling Hai, Sun and others should clear up the people's grievances and carefully monitor public opinion, so as to get the people to resume farming and work as soon as possible!"
Zhang Juzheng raised his hand and returned.
Zhu Yijun nodded: "It's accurate! I'll approve it accordingly."
Gu Xiancheng asked about Zhu Yijun as he spoke.
Gu Xiancheng nodded.
Zhang Juzheng said: "It must be Jiangling."
Before Li Sancai and others knew about Phi Hong's decree, Li Sancai also looked disappointed and said to Hai Rui and others, "You have been completely fooled by Jiang Ling and Haigang Feng!"
"After all, based on what I know about you, you are willing to see the sentiments of the people and threaten the gentry."
"You also know what Jiang Ling was thinking, and he abolished the good governance of Xiaomiao!"
Gu Xiancheng nodded and said with a smile.
“It is important to unify the way of governing the country!”
Qianqing Palace, Xinuang Pavilion.
"I dare to hide it from Your Majesty, but I don't believe it anymore. What He Xinyin said must have had no influence on Your Majesty. I think our words outside the prison must have been too much for Your Majesty to listen to."
"If I still do what I do now, I really want to practice the idea that the people are the most important!"
"Yes, what you just said is right. "Hanshu" doesn't say: 'Study the ancients and seek truth from facts.' Naturally, I am willing to be the holy master Li Zhi in your mind, but the standard of that holy master Li Zhi is , you must seek truth from facts!”
Bang!
Gu Xian became enlightened.
Li Sancai asked back angrily.
"What your Majesty said was really shocking and shocking to me. I even thought that I was right or not. As for the answer, it was obvious that your Majesty was just asking the minister, and he had not come up with the answer himself."
Hai Rui also started talking.
Zhu Yijun thought for a while and said: "Since your Majesty asked that, I have the guts to ask Your Majesty, is it true that Your Majesty is unwilling to be the king of Yao and Shun?"
Li Sancai said: "No matter what Jiang Ling means, it must be regarded as Jiang Ling's intention now! As long as Jiang Ling is still in this position, there is no way to determine whether the people in the fourth world behind me, Jiang Ling, will What is the path? Do you really want everyone to be a friend, or do you have to be stupid and foolish enough to only trust Zhang Jiangling, so let Jiangling do whatever he wants, so that Jiangling cannot hold the emperor hostage and command heaven!"
I know Yang Ling and Ruo Ruo have no doubts about this matter and there is no solution.
"Who would have thought that I, Renjun, had already prepared this plan and encouraged the people to cause trouble!"
"If we say that the kings of Yao and Shun can make the country peaceful and the people safe, what is the standard for the people's peace? Is it better to be safe and die of hunger, or is it enough to starve to death?"
Zhang Juzheng reminded at that time.
"Sir, you are being humble. You are a child prodigy, how can you be a rotten scholar? I think you will know what I mean as soon as you hear some of my opinions!"
"I'm sure!"
"But I know what the First Emperor requires of me, and what kind of emperor I think is a truly wise king."
"I, Jiang Ling, am so broad-minded? Because of such a thing, I hate all the gentry in the sky, so these tenants and hired workers can't act like this in front of the gentry and compromise the etiquette and propriety?"
Gu Xiancheng summoned Zhu Yijun alone before Renjun mobilized the people of Nanzhi to demand rent reduction, interest rate reduction and processing money from small landowners, and raised the matter.
"What Renjun did was my instruction."
Then, Gu Xiancheng said: "That's because Sir wants me to be Yao and Shun, but what Yao and Shun are is too vague, and there is no clear standard."
"This is what Renjun should really be allowed to do!"
"Especially, my husband and I must unify first before we can unify the thoughts of other bureaucrats. Otherwise, the New Deal will be short-lived!"
"It's not that I want to be like Yao and Shun, but that Yao and Shun's achievements in making soup are too vague!"
Zhu Yijun did not show much surprise before hearing this and said:
Zhang Juzheng sighed and said: "They should have thought of it a long time ago. I, Renjun, am inferior to other officials and have no popularity in Nanzhi."
"And if I want to set such a standard, I must first demand that of myself, and hope that the emperors in the previous life will refer to it!"
Zhu Yijun laughed as he spoke: "And Your Majesty mentioned the standards just now. Now think about it according to Your Majesty's words, the standards for scholars to judge who is the Holy Lord Yang Ling are general, even unified, and even very few. To be intolerant, if you are not kind to yourself, you are the Holy Lord Li Zhi, but to ask whether he is kind to others in heaven."
Li Sancai said.
"Organize tenant farmers, hired workers and other common people to make trouble and make trouble for the people, causing the gentry to lose their dignity. Why do I, Zhu Yijun, directly organize a group of common people to come to your Majesty and cause trouble!"
When Gu Xiancheng said that, he said: "This is a bad definition. In terms of territory, I still have to recover the Hetao! After Xiaomiao, you and the ancestors of Xiao Ming are inferior to me; in terms of population, you are better than Taizu." Some; in terms of the people's poverty and humiliation, sir, do you think I can compare with Emperor Taizong and Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty?"
"In terms of territory, the territory of this dynasty is wider than ours; in terms of population, the population of this dynasty is smaller than ours; in terms of the happiness of the people, how many of our people are still sucking hair and drinking blood?"
Zhang Qiwei and Yang Zhaoshi, who were both in the Imperial Palace, looked at each other, and then their disappointed expressions were hard to conceal.
A long while ago, Gu Xiancheng nodded.
"Don't forget, it was a long time ago that the regulations promulgated during the Xiaomiao period, which stipulated that hiring workers to rebel against their employers, was like treason!"
Yang Ling and Yang Linghe all nodded before listening.
Li Sancai continued to speak helplessly.
Zhu Yijun murmured something, and then said: "What your Majesty said today has given me too little shock, and it is difficult for me to digest it for a while. Therefore, please give me some time and let me think about it. Maybe it can really make me understand." The way to govern the country will be clearer, and Your Majesty Li and the king from the previous life will rule in the future."
"First of all, there must be no standard for territory, secondly there must be no standard for population, and most importantly, there must be no standard for the level of poverty and humiliation of the people in the country."
"I gave me a central decree to be implemented at my discretion. Whether I told Mr. Yu about that central decree was because I was worried that he might be willing to let me instruct Yang Ling to organize a struggle between the people and the gentry. .”
"Seek truth from facts."
"It's true that Renjun would do that; the key point is, who would have thought that Jiangling would support Yangling in doing that!"
Gu Xiancheng wanted to inform Zhu Yijun of the facts and see Zhu Yijun's reaction to make next plans.
Li Sancai suddenly punched the table.
Hai Rui asked from the side: "Is it because the people from Huguang dug up my father's grave that I completely hate you gentry?"
"To be precise, this is how we govern the country and study, and use this to formulate realistic standards and requirements. For example, I need to make the territory, population, and people's poverty reach a certain level within a few years. If it is definitely achieved, then we should summarize it. For the first reason, the fact that Qingna has been achieved shows that I meet the standards of Holy Master Li Zhi, and in the future, my predecessors will consider the temple name given to me too ugly because of this."
"I am a scholar who is as talented as Your Majesty, and is good at asking questions with unique insights. In the past, I only knew that Yao and Shun were the Holy Lords Li Zhi. This is what scholars have always expected to appear, but they are Holy Lords like Yao and Shun." Li Zhi, a scholar will not judge."
Zhu Yijun took a deep breath, then smiled and said: "Your Majesty is a person who has no thoughts of his own after all!"
Zhang Juzheng even said angrily: "Jiangling will be eliminated in one day, and the truth behind me will be obscured in one day!"
"What these people in Huguang are doing has nothing to do with you in Nanzhi?!"
…
"Besides, we still call him the real emperor. After all, our system at that time was the same as now. The real emperor started from the beginning of the emperor and ended up becoming the real lord of heaven."
"Am I just worried that the tenants of my Zhang family will do the same thing?!"
