"I don't care about reputation or anything. Since ancient times, there are many people who have been deceived by civil servants into being benevolent monarchs, and eventually became subjugated monarchs. I don't want to be a subjugated monarch, and I don't want the people of the Ming Dynasty to suffer bullying and massacre by foreign races.
I really don’t want those barbarians to bully us again in China, where the Han people have their trump card.
So what if you carry a tyrant on your back? "
Zhu Youjian said with a sneer.
As for these gentry and landlords, if the emperor cancels the preferential policies for them or even levies taxes on them, then this emperor is a coward. If he is more strict with them, he is an out-and-out tyrant.
But will Zhu Youjian make them happy?
You must know that you are the emperor, the emperor of Ming Dynasty. Only if Ming Dynasty is good can you be good. Only if Ming Dynasty is strong and rich can you live a comfortable life.
Once the Ming Dynasty is over, everyone can live, but I am certain to die, even if the new dynasty did not kill me at that time for the sake of benevolence and righteousness.
But after the new dynasty stabilizes, he will inevitably have an unexpected ending.
Whether to be a benevolent king who subjugates his country or to be a true emperor, Zhu Youjian has his own plan in mind.
"Okay, I have been away from the capital for so long, and there are still many things that need to be dealt with. You just stay here. After five days, I will come again to listen to your thoughts and how you want to plead for the people. What kind of life are you asking for?"
Zhu Youjian ordered.
These people are obviously not idiots. Although they have the advantage now, if they continue to bully the other party, the other party will find their own loopholes sooner or later.
That's why Zhu Youjian got angry. With the help of his identity, he directly postponed this time to 5 days later.
It's not that Zhu Youjian's ability will be greatly improved after 5 days, but that Zhu Youjian is waiting for the arrival of the Kong family.
As the most influential family in the Ming Dynasty, the Kong family. As the only thousand-year-old family in China, the influence of the Kong family is quite large.
Although in recent years, Zhu Youjian sent people to investigate the Kong family, arrested countless scum of the Kong family, and brought Qufu back into the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, which reduced the status of the Kong family.
But the influence of the Kong family is still great.
Even in the hearts of some people, they still feel that it was Zhu Youjian's fault for dealing with the Kong family.
There are thousands of powerful people in the world, and in Zhu Youjian's opinion, the only ones who can take the lead are the Kong family.
But no matter what, the Kong family is a weak family, this is a fact.
There is countless dirty information in the Kong family. As long as you tell it when the time comes, the other party will have no choice but to give in.
Because thousands of years of history have already explained it.
The descendants of the Confucius family were actually internationalist fighters. They considered the overall situation and followed the general trend many times, cooperated with the foreign barbarians who invaded the Central Plains, and made outstanding contributions to the "unification" of China.
The current head of the Kong family, Kong Yinzhi, is an extremely soft-boned guy.
Historically, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Kong Yinzhi, the Duke of Yansheng in the Confucian Mansion, was treated poorly by the Ming Dynasty. This Duke was not a direct descendant, but not only was he granted the title of Duke of Yansheng, he was also promoted to the title of Prince Taibao and Prince Taituo successively. It can be said that " Your kindness is like a mountain."
But as soon as Li Zicheng entered Shandong, when he was still far away from Qufu, the Confucius Mansion issued a Zhushi, asking people to enshrine the dragon throne of Yongchang Emperor of Dashun Kingdom, offer horses and silver, and kneel to accept the seal.
Unexpectedly, this time the change of masters was too urgent. Within a few days, the Dashun army ran away and the Qingyi army came. The third surnamed Yanshenggong corrected his mistake when he realized it, and immediately wrote the "Chu Jin Piaowen" to confess to the Qing court. Loyalty, praising the Qing emperor, "Mountains and rivers shine with the sun and the moon, and the country and the world are together forever." It means that "I and others have established scholars in the palace, and have inherited the special kindness of the past generations. Today, we celebrate the prosperity of the new dynasty and look forward to learning." Chonglong, staggering and fearful of others."
Then, in response to the order of shaving hair issued by the Qing government, Kong Yinzhi, the third surnamed Gong, held a grand shaving ceremony, "respectfully setting up an incense table, reading out the holy edict", and ordered the tribesmen to shave their heads. At the same time, the Qing army was massacring countless people in Jiading, Jiangyin and other places who resisted shaving their hair and changing clothes.
Later, in order to avoid the taboo of Emperor Yinmo of the Qing Dynasty, the third surnamed Kong Yinzhi changed his name to Kong Yanzhi, once again showing his loyalty to the Qing court.
Kong Yan (Yin), the father-in-law of the third surname, had this kind of knowledge, took the overall situation into consideration and followed the trend of history. I am afraid that even Wang Jingwei, Wu Sangui and his like would give a thumbs up!
Since the Confucian family was so knowledgeable, the Qing government naturally awarded them with rewards, and the Confucian family became even more powerful. As for what our ancestors said, "When a scholar sees danger, he will die, and when he sees it, he will think about his righteousness." This is a way to educate all people, not the Confucian family's rule of governance.
Throughout the history of the Confucian government, the more foreign barbarians, Rongdi and Di, the more generous the rewards. After Chengzong came to power in the Yuan Dynasty, he named Mr. Confucius the "Dacheng Most Holy King Wenxuan"; when Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty first came to power, he even named Confucius. As "the great teacher of the most holy Wenxuan King", this gradual adulation finally reached its peak, and the Confucius family also benefited from it.
Such a group of weaklings, as long as they pick up a knife here, are they afraid that the other party will not show loyalty?
