After leaving Beijing Camp, Zhu Youjian sent someone to say, "The country has a sore. If it is not cut off in time, Ming Dynasty will be finished sooner or later."
Although Zhu Youjian's words are a bit rough, his reasoning is not rough.
Sun Chengzong, who had lived in officialdom for a long time, naturally knew what the diseases of the Ming Dynasty were.
The dynasty lasted only three hundred years, while the Ming Dynasty had been established for more than two hundred years.
Interest groups from all sides are frantically squeezing ordinary people and sucking the blood of Ming Dynasty.
Officials are busy fighting for power and profit, instead of doing their jobs properly.
Before His Majesty ascended the throne, Ming Dynasty was already terminally ill and could die at any time.
After His Majesty ascended the throne, many changes have indeed taken place in the Ming Dynasty.
Those forces that have nothing to do with the foreign races outside the customs, His Majesty's handling of them is very satisfying.
But as time goes by.
Everyone discovered that His Majesty turned his eyes towards them after beheading the traitor.
Government decree after decree and reform after reform are all cutting into the flesh of those with vested interests.
In this way, although the pressure on the people at the bottom was relieved, the tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty was increased, and the Ming Dynasty was stabilized, it did affect the cake of the vested interests.
In the beginning, countless officials took issue with the ancestral system. His Majesty directly brought out the ancestral peeling grass!
The officials were so frightened that they did not dare to mention the ancestral system.
What's overt can't be done covertly, and some officials deliberately cause harm in secret. His Majesty's rejection contained only one word: "kill".
His tough tactics enabled His Majesty to carry out reforms very quickly.
But it also broke the hearts of His Majesty and all the officials.
Sun Chengzong's mentality also changed to a certain extent after coming out of the Beijing camp. He said to the envoy "I wish your Majesty the success of the reform" and secretly returned to his hometown of Gaoyang under the escort of the army.
The officials in the capital were still busy evading their authority to judge the Kong family, but they didn't know that the biggest foreign aid they invited had quietly left.
..
"It's been how many days, and the people who will be interrogated by the three departments can't be determined?" Zhu Youjian said slightly angrily in the imperial study room.
Long before the Kong family was escorted to Beijing, Zhu Youjian ordered the organization of a joint trial among the three departments.
But how long has passed, the three-level interrogation committee cannot even confirm the person.
"Your Majesty, after all, the Kong family is the backbone of the civil servants. Everyone considers themselves disciples of the Holy Confucius, so it is normal for them to be unwilling to interrogate the Kong family. Why not deploy personnel from Jinyiwei and Dongchang for interrogation?" Wang Chengen said on the side.
"Let me tell the world that I will publicly interrogate the Confucian criminals at Andingmen tomorrow, and six ministers will accompany me during the interrogation."
After thinking for a while, Zhu Youjian spoke.
Regarding the pests in the Confucian family, the main reason why Zhu Youjian insisted on the joint trial of the three departments was because the influence of the Confucian family, especially among scholars, was too great.
Everyone’s access to information is limited, even Ming Pao. It has spread to 1,500 counties in Ming Dynasty. But he still did not fully grasp the public opinion of Ming Dynasty.
Especially for people in remote areas, most of the information they get depends on powerful landlords.
Although the 183 Confucius criminals brought to Beijing already had complete witnesses and physical evidence.
But with a mouth that controls everything, how can it still control other people's nonsense?
Even if future generations are willing to be foreign dogs for a penny, there are too many public intellectuals talking nonsense.
What's more, now that Zhu Youjian has affected the interests of so many people?
Jinyiwei and Dongchang were the emperor's lackeys in the eyes of everyone in the Ming Dynasty.
If Zhu Youjian sends Jin Yiwei and Dongchang to go to trial, you can guess what those people can say even if you think with your toes.
Cleaning up the filth of the Confucian family and rebuilding the spirit of the Ming Dynasty was part of Zhu Youjian's legal reform.
This cannot be changed.
In order to prevent anyone from taking this matter seriously. Zhu Youjian then asked the three departments for a joint trial.
The reason why Zhu Youjian did not directly designate officials was because he was worried that if the designated officials did something wrong, they would have a brain cramp.
Or if someone with ulterior motives does something, then all the dirty water will be poured on him.
But Zhu Youjian still overestimated the quality of civil servants. Sure enough, in their hearts, the rise and fall of the country is not as important as their faces.
As everyone knows, the so-called face does not depend on this at all.
Officials are not afraid of power, enforce the law impartially, and benefit one party. That's the real face.
Being a dog official, colluding with animals everywhere, bending the law for personal gain, and bullying the people is a shame.
The third day of June in the sixth year of Chongzhen.
After rigorous preparations, Zhu Youjian, escorted by a large number of court elites, came to the tower of Andingmen in addition to the palace.
The area near the city tower has long been controlled by the imperial guards. Except for some officials, most of them within 50 meters of Zhu Youjian are biochemical soldiers.
Under the city tower, there were not only the criminals escorted from Qufu, but also some relatives of high-ranking officials and scum of the royal family.
Next to it are the reporters from the newspaper. They want the whole world to know about this.
Then came the military camp to maintain order, and tens of thousands of people watching.
“In the whole world, everything is the land of the king, and on the shore of the land, there is nothing but the king’s ministers.
If there are no rules, there will be no circle, if there is no law, the country will not be a country.
Throughout ancient and modern times, the collapse of dynasties was mostly due to 30% natural disasters and 70% man-made disasters.
Since ancient times, disasters have occurred.
But man-made disasters can and must be avoided.
If we want to avoid man-made disasters, we must have laws to abide by, laws must be followed, law enforcement must be strict, and violations must be prosecuted.
However, the reality is cruel. In ordinary years, things are fine, but in disaster years, nine out of ten officials who talk about benevolence, justice and morality will turn into beasts.
And what about our Manchu civil and military forces?
Even if he knows, he is still willing to be a beast and protect the beast.
Even though they know that protecting the beasts in their hands will force the people to rebel, lead to the death of countless families, and even the collapse of dynasties and the coming of alien butchers, these beasts still enjoy it.
The reason why this is the case, to put it bluntly, is because the law turns into shit in the face of money and power.
The law is ruthless, it is the law! "
Zhu Youjian stood on the tower and looked at the group of criminals below and said expressionlessly.
....
The duty of the imperial court is to safeguard national security and protect the people's personal and property safety.
The obligation of the people is to act in accordance with the law. Report to the court in a timely manner matters that threaten the country and the safety of the people.
If the country wants to be long-lasting and strong, it depends on the support and rational analysis of the people.
If you want people's support, you must ensure that people have a way to survive and have hope.
No one is a fool, everyone has selfish motives.
Treating the people like leeks and squeezing them like crazy, how can the people have feelings for the country?
Zhu Youjian, who has been working as a worker at the bottom of the information age for many years, is very aware of the suffering and helplessness of the people at the bottom.
It is also clear that as long as people are wronged, they will feel more or less dissatisfied with the country.
When dissatisfaction accumulates, patriotism, haha.
In Zhu Youjian's view, if the country cannot guarantee the fairness of the law, cannot guarantee that ordinary people will not be bullied by the powerful, it cannot always be vigilant and always clean up its words.
We are not qualified to ask people to be patriotic.
