Chapter 56 Thunder Trial
Zhu Yuanzhang blocked this matter for He Xi today, not just because of He Xi.
But for the induction of heaven and man.
Zhu Yuanzhang believed this before. Therefore, I didn’t pay too much attention to the side effects of celestial induction. But now he doesn't believe this. Therefore, I began to be concerned about the side effects of this theory.
So what are the benefits and disadvantages of the theory of telepathy to the emperor?
The good thing is that the emperor was deified precisely because of the divine connection. The Son of Heaven is the son of God and has natural sanctity, so it is natural for the Emperor to rule the world. It has innate rationality.
This advantage was useful but not big for Zhu Yuanzhang.
Why?
Because Zhu Yuanzhang's world was conquered with one sword and one shot. Who dares to say no, let him come and try in front of Zhu Yuanzhang. Let's see, even if he is not the emperor, can Zhu Yuanzhang be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty?
For Zhu Yuanzhang, all theories can only decorate the branches and leaves of Zhu Yuanzhang's power. Rather than the other way around.
What's the downside?
It is Confucianism that has the power to interpret the relationship between heaven and man and uses it to check and balance the monarch. Let monarchs exercise power according to their political logic.
It wasn't that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't understand before, but after weighing the pros and cons, he tolerated it. After all, no matter how Confucianism is belittled, Confucianism has a complete plan for building a country. Complete national operation system. Don’t underestimate this thing, just look at Vietnam. Vietnam relied on this to become the little overlord in Southeast Asia.
Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice. Just put up with the disadvantages.
Now Zhu Yuanzhang has studied for a long time and has clearly felt the charm of a complete set of nation-building plans and political systems in the future.
Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that this plan was not suitable for Ming Dynasty. The advanced ideas of the future must be combined with the backward current situation of Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang has been doing this work.
But in any case, some Confucian urinals can be thrown away.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Song Qing, are you virtuous?"
Song Ne replied: "I dare not claim to be virtuous, but since Shufa started studying, there is nothing I can't tell anyone about, and there is nothing I regret today."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "You can be called a gentleman. In this way, God will not kill you."
Song Ne felt that Zhu Yuanzhang's question was a bit strange and said, "Yes."
Song Ne is very confident about this. He felt that people like him, even if they were not protected by the old man, would not be punished by God.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Qin Tianjian."
Master Zhengma of the Qintian Supervisor immediately came out and said: "I am here."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "How many days will there be a thunderstorm?"
Master Zhengma of the Qintian Supervisor said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, there are unpredictable weather conditions, and I dare not speculate on God's will. However, after the summer in Nanjing, thunderstorms have been common every year. There should be a few thunderstorms this month. But it may not be as big as the day before yesterday.”
Weather forecasts in future generations may not be accurate. Qin Tianjian doesn't dare to talk nonsense these days.
However, although he could not tell the specific day when the thunderstorm came. But the weather here every summer is usually a few thunderstorms, more or less, before or after.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Song Qing, please go back and wait for the thunderstorm to see whether you are virtuous or not."
After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands and left.
This court meeting also broke up unhappy.
After going to court, He Xi immediately went to Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked He Xi to come in, but ignored him. Just reviewing memorials there. After a while, he asked: "Do you realize your mistake?"
He Xi said: "I know I was wrong."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "What's wrong?"
He Xi said: "The mistake is that I am self-righteous and have no information. So that I don't even know about it when it happens."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Then what are you going to do?"
He Xi hesitated for a while and said, "I plan to establish an intelligence system at home after I go back."
Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and said: "Intelligence, system? Do you want to rebel?"
He Xi said: "I don't dare, just?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "In the imperial court, you always have more friends and fewer enemies. With more friends, you will naturally be well-informed. Everyone misses you. In order to be well-informed, why don't you build a royal guard yourself?"
"Let me ask you, how many times have you gone out for banquets in the past few months? How many officials have you met? Have you ever received a visit from the Six Ministers? Have you met with nobles from various families? Mei Sizu died, and you went to express your condolences. How long did it take?”
He Xi was stunned and didn't know what to say.
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said: "I am not here to teach you about these worldly things. But it is good for you to concentrate on your errands. But just immersing yourself in doing things will not make you great."
"Just like what happened today, you have interacted with Mao Xiang several times. If you have more contact with Mao Xiang, he will not tell you about such things."
He Xi was stunned and said: "The commander of the Jinyi Guards should not be a lonely minister. I dare not get too close to the commander of the Jinyiwei."
These words made Zhu Yuanzhang so angry that he was speechless.
Is He Xi right? right.
But a lot of times people don't do the right thing. As the commander of the Jin Yiwei, Mao Xiang would not be able to secure his position as the commander of the Jin Yiwei if he was really upright and refused to give face to anyone.
Many people can obtain information from Jin Yiwei, not so much because of Mao Xiang's favoritism. It would be better to say that Mao Xiang was ordered to leak intelligence. Those who can get information about Jin Yiwei are people close to Zhu Yuanzhang. Mao Xiang didn't dare to reveal it to anyone.
He Xi and Princess Anqing were also among them.
It's just that the Jinyiwei is the Jinyiwei after all, so it's not easy to have a hot face but a cold butt. The commander of the Jin Yiwei also wants to save face. If you don't interact with me and ask me to send you information, do you really think that I, Commander Mao, am a servant of your family?
But Zhu Yuanzhang could clearly say these words.
Did he say, I know that my son, son-in-law, and some old subordinates were recruited through Jinyiwei. You can try it too.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought to himself: "Today I have seen what it means to be full of food at the wrong time."
He Xi is not a fool.
At the beginning, you may not be able to react and just say the words in a rush. Now he has reacted and his face is red with shame. I didn't know what to say for a while.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw this and said no more. Said: "When you go back, think about it carefully."
He Xi said: "I understand."
He Xi secretly thought: "Before, I had close contact with the disciples. This was considered selfish, but then I have extensive friendship with the ministers. I guess it is a clique." He Xi was a little confused for a while. He always felt that he was walking towards the path of a treacherous minister step by step. go.
He Xi also asked the questions in his heart and said, "Your Majesty, how are Song Ne going to deal with it?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I have made an iron kite, using iron as the skeleton, patching it with oil, and using iron wire as the kite string, and let Song Ne fly it on a thunderstorm day. Do you think this is Franklin's experiment? "
"I want to try it too."
He Xi was shocked and said: "Your Majesty, this is too -----"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Cruel? If we want to do something big, Lanzhi has to be eliminated. Besides, this may not be cruel to Song Ne."
He Xi said: "Why?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Song Ne's behavior today means that he is already dead. The difference is how he died? If he can really be struck to death by thunder, it means that there is something wrong with the heavenly senses. From now on, Confucian scholars can't use this to blabber. I It's not a big deal, Song Ne can also be buried as an official of the imperial court. His family is still a family of officials. If he is really lucky and such thunder cannot kill him, then I will have no choice but to rain down the wrath of thunder."
He Xi felt extremely bitter for a moment.
Although he didn't deal with Song Ne, to be honest, he had no intention of wanting Song Ne to die. After all, He Xi came from later generations. Even the enemy he hated so much in school never thought of killing someone. In his opinion, his relationship with Song Ne was nothing more than office politics.
But I never imagined that this kind of struggle would lead to death. One bad move will kill the whole family.
This is really difficult for He Xi to accept.
But in this situation, he didn't know what to expect, with Song Ne being struck to death by thunder. A lifetime of moral reputation was ruined. After all, science is not prosperous nowadays. Even if He Xi tried his best to explain, it is estimated that more people would believe that Song Ne was a hypocrite rather than a so-called science person, especially a person in Neo-Confucianism who would not give up on the theory of interaction between heaven and man. That can only be justified by slandering Song Ne.
This is too cruel for Song Ne.
