The more than 30 people, old and young, who came here are all ordinary people. They usually feel inferior to the landlords and gentry when they meet them. It was even said that he would meet the aloof emperor.
After being scolded by Zhu Youjian, everyone thought they had made some mistake and hurriedly knelt down and begged His Majesty for his life.
"Get up! We, the people of the Ming Dynasty, kneel to the sky and the ground. We kneel to our parents. Officials and emperors do not need to kneel."
Zhu Youjian slowly walked down from the dragon chair, walked to an old man and said slowly.
"Your Majesty's etiquette cannot be abolished!" Huang Jin, the Minister of Rites, hurriedly came out to stop Zhu Youjian from continuing.
"Huh, etiquette! Can the etiquette make the people in the world have full stomachs and have new clothes to wear, or can they protect me from being bullied by foreign races for thousands of years in the Ming Dynasty?"
Zhu Youjian snorted coldly.
There is nothing wrong with being polite to many people. "Courtesy" can indeed effectively avoid disputes!
But it is wrong to put shackles on others in the name of "etiquette".
"This, this!" Huang Jin was speechless for a moment.
"What is etiquette?" Zhu Youjian asked.
"Respect, etiquette, etiquette, etiquette are the etiquette," Huang Jin said.
"Now that you know it, you should simplify daily rituals and educate the people of the world instead of staring at me every day!
Remember the reason why the Ming Dynasty is called the Celestial Dynasty!
It's because everyone in Ming Dynasty is united.
Daming’s fist is the biggest! Sergeant, use your life! The Ming army is invincible!
When all officials are attentive, the treasury will be full, the people will be attentive, and the country will be stable!
Without an army that can fight, a full treasury, and a stable Ming Dynasty, the shame of the former Song Dynasty is the future of the Ming Dynasty.
Since ancient times, what should you civil servants do? But do you need me to tell you what is really good?
I don't even understand why a good person has to kneel down willingly and want to be a dog to the barbarians if he doesn't do anything good.
Do you feel that your wife is too beautiful and you cannot be satisfied with her? She wants to be like the traitor Fan Wencheng and wear a green hat?
Or do you think your parents are a burden and let the barbarians help you solve it?
Or is it because his daughter is absolutely too ugly and only barbarians are willing to have her? "
Zhu Youjian said with a sneer.
The demise of a country, especially a country as big as Ming Dynasty, cannot destroy the foundation of the country at once.
Ruling officials account for at least 80% of the reasons for the destruction of the country's foundation.
Use your own martial arts to destroy the people's hearts. This is the specialty of civil servants.
In the end, the country perished, the people perished, and the emperor took all the blame.
After that, these culprits suddenly became members of the new dynasty.
"What's wrong? Why didn't you speak? Do you feel embarrassed? Or do you think I said something wrong!"
"After you go back today, within seven days each of you will take time to write a code of conduct for officials, listing what officials should and should not do..."
'Your Majesty is wise. ' All the officials shouted in unison.
Although many officials now want to come up and strangle Zhu Youjian to death, after considering his relatives, they can only hold back tears and shout, "Your Majesty is wise."
"Okay, starting from today, no one is allowed to flatter the royal family. Anyone who violates the order will be dismissed and investigated."
Zhu Youjian said with a straight face.
Although it feels good to be flattered, Zhu Youjian knows very well that these officials flatter him not because they believe how wise they are. It's because they hope to become a stupid horse so that they can fool them easily.
"Okay, now that the other things have been taken care of, let's talk about your situation." Zhu Youjian said to the 30 or so people of all ages and young and old who were in front of him with frightened faces.
The reason why Zhu Youjian got angry just now was not only because he was unhappy with those civil servants, but also to put some pressure on these people.
There was no need to check their identities, and Zhu Youjian was 80% sure that they were just ordinary people.
After all, those civil servants are not fools, after all, this thing cannot be checked.
"Your Majesty, last night a royal guard broke into my house, raped and killed my poor daughter-in-law, and threw my poor grandson to the ground. My poor grandson was less than 3 months old. ah!
It's a pity that my son died fighting for the Ming Dynasty, and he got such a result. "
As he spoke, a trace of red tears left the corners of the old man's eyes.
"My father-in-law, your son is a hero of the Ming Dynasty. If this happens now, I will definitely give you an explanation.
What you have to do now is to tell me the whole story as much as possible so that I can give you justice. "
"Your Majesty, it was made by Jinyiwei. The common people have seen it with their own eyes. How can it be false?"
"How are you sure it's Jin Yiwei, did you meet him at Jin Yiwei Yamen, or did you catch the criminal and did he admit it himself?"
Zhu Youjian asked rhetorically.
"Isn't the person wearing the Feiyu suit Jin Yiwei? And isn't this waist badge Jin Yi's thing?"
The old speaker took out a waist badge engraved with the three characters "Jin Yiwei"
"Have you seen the criminal's face?"
"I've seen him before. I can recognize him even if he turns into ashes."
"Did we meet at your house?"
"Yes, I heard my daughter-in-law shouting and came out with a pole. I saw the other party coming out of my daughter-in-law's house. He was wearing a flying fish suit and the lancet in his hand was still dripping with blood."
"Did the other party run away in a hurry when he saw you coming?"
"Yes."
"I understand. Are the Jin Yiwei who hurt your family the same? Wearing Jin Yiwei's clothes and holding a lancet in their hands, they ran away when they saw you coming. Did some of them even leave their badges behind? "
"Your Majesty, it's true." Everyone said in unison.
What they didn't notice was that many officials were already sweating.
Due to time constraints, poor communication, and the small groups of officials who dislike each other, this resulted in huge loopholes.
If ordinary people couldn't hear it, how could these veteran officials not hear it?
You must know that the current Jinyiwei is not the gold-plated nursing home ten years ago!
After His Majesty's reforms, the hereditary system of Jinyiwei was abolished and the policy of appointing the capable and sending down the weak was implemented. Many old, weak, sick and disabled people were resettled, and a large number of well-trained young people brought new vitality to Jinyiwei.
If time had not been short and the imperial court had been busy developing the army, recovering lost territory, providing disaster relief, and emigrating over the years, Jinyiwei might have returned to its former glory.
But even if the glory of the past is not restored, those who can wear the Feiyu suit are either capable people with piercing eyes, or people who are bold, careful, and have great skills.
But they all have one characteristic, that is, it doesn't take much effort to deal with an old man.
If one person is like this, it is accidental. If the same problem happens to more than 30 people and ten households, there must be something wrong.
The common people are not fools. With a little explanation, these common people can understand the truth.
