Chapter 177 The heat has arrived
At this point, it is actually very clear.
Under the authority of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Dynasty did not allow a second voice. If there was one, it would be the voice of the dead.
And Liu Sanwu wanted to be this dead man.
Liu Sanwu reported to the court again and again, and even spoke in the official newspaper criticizing the new law.
For a time, the city of Nanjing was very lively.
------
He Xi works in Da Nei. As a bachelor, he is only responsible for revising the Ming Law. At this moment, all aspects of the situation are summarized here. He Xi silently calculated that the heat was almost done.
Not to mention, there are Xie Jin and Ding Xian, the warm-up and conflicts in the past year, and Zhu Yuanzhang sitting in charge. It seems to He Xi that public opinion has reached its peak and cannot wait any longer.
He Xi got up and walked through the long corridor to the outside of Qianqing Palace and signed up to see him.
Zhu Yuanzhang met with He Xi.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Why are you ready?"
He Xi said: "It's ready. Slowly simmer over low heat and do it step by step. Going too fast is not good. Now everyone in the government and the public has reached a consensus on revising the Ming Law. We can start the next step."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I have been ready for a long time."
Then an imperial edict was brought out, and Zhu Yuanzhang gave it to the eunuch beside him. The eunuch took out the jade seal and covered it.
He carefully collected the imperial edict and handed it to He Xi.
He Xi took a look and realized that this imperial edict was nothing else. The core is a sentence. Ten days later, all officials of the third rank and above will be present to discuss the revision of the Ming Dynasty Law.
It’s bullshit and it’s process.
And this is an imperial edict. The next step begins.
------
Ten days in a blink of an eye.
He Xi was organizing his official affairs at home, wearing a red official robe, black official boots, and a black gauze hat. It looks very popular. The He Xi he is now is completely different from the He Xi he was then. It’s not like I can’t afford this set of clothes. It should be noted that clothes are only a specific expression, and they represent many life details and habits behind them.
Many people are not used to wearing suits, and some people are not used to wearing Hanfu or other styles of clothes. Their body shape may be one of the reasons, but more importantly, they are not adapted to the living habits covered by these clothes.
For example, if you are wearing an official robe, unless you are standing still, you must always pay attention to when to lift the corners of the clothes and walk squarely, otherwise the person's temperament will not match, and it will feel like a monkey wearing a crown.
These things don’t need to be taught. I have been accustomed to wearing this kind of clothes since I was a child.
When He Xi first arrived in Daming, there were actually a lot of things he wasn't used to.
But now, He Xi seems to be no different from the ancient people.
He Xi looked at himself in the bronze mirror and took a deep breath. Although he knew that there would be no problems in this court meeting. But there is still pressure in my heart. I prayed secretly in my heart, not wanting anything to happen.
He Mansion was very close to the Imperial City, and He Xi rode very quickly and arrived in front of the Imperial City.
At this moment, the Imperial City has opened its doors. Countless officials entered the Forbidden City after checking their waistbands.
He Xi was about to enter, but suddenly a man stopped He Xi and said, "Master He, long time no see?"
He Xi looked at the person and was startled for a moment, then said: "Greetings to the Marquis of Haixi."
"Don't dare to take it, don't take it." This person is none other than Nahachu.
When Naha came out of Nanjing, he was just a wealthy and idle person. However, Chahan, the eldest son of Naha, is currently working in the East Palace. It can be said that a considerable part of their family's future lies in the hands of the prince.
Some things have to be done.
He Xi said: "Marquis Haixi, this is ------"
Naha came out and said: "Please move forward, Lord He. Xiaohou has a few words to say to Lord He."
In any case, He Xi and Naha have a good relationship. Ha Ci Bu Hua can be regarded as He Xi's old team. Naturally, I have to give him some face. He Xi said: "Please." She waved her hand to stay away from the crowd. The two people came to the bottom of the palace wall one after the other.
The bright red palace wall is like the background board of a photo studio. Carve the figures of the two people on it.
Naha came out and said: "Master He, the prince wants to ask you to show mercy."
He Xi was silent. No talking, no saying, no, no saying yes.
Nahachu could only continue: "The prince said that Mr. Liu is old and confused. But after all, he is a great master of Neo-Confucianism and a great master. The court always wants to give him some respect. Therefore, please give me some respect, Mr. He." Leave some room. It is best not to repeat what happened to Mr. Songne. That would not be a good thing for anyone."
He Xi thought for a moment.
Thinking of Song Ne's death, He Xi actually felt a little sad in her heart.
Song Ne is dead. How can we bring some craftsmanship and nature learning to the table? He Xi never regretted this. But no regrets and no regrets are two different things. I am used to seeing scum and scum in this world that have no bottom line and are only interested in profit. It's hard to feel disgust, or rather hatred, for someone who is willing to fight for his or her ideals all his life, or even sacrifice his life.
Song Ne was such a person, and so is Liu Sanwu today.
What He Xi wants is never to physically destroy a person, but to update and iterate mentally. Although He Xi has ideals in her heart, she is not an idealist in her heart. He knew that in most cases, the change of human ideas does not happen when new ideas defeat old ideas, but when all those who harbor old ideas die. New ideas naturally take over.
Therefore, He Xi did not expect that in this bloodless war, there would really be no blood at all.
He didn't insist on forcing Liu Sanwu to die.
However, he felt that the prince's thoughts were dangerous.
Compassion and generosity are not shortcomings, but even advantages. But the kindness of women is the same.
And He Xi also felt some tendencies of the prince from these words.
He Xi said: "Marquis Haixi, I have no intention of killing. There is only one person in the world who can kill on this occasion. That is Your Majesty. But I also admire the old master's character and knowledge. Today is just a dispute of knowledge, absolutely It’s not a fight of life and death.”
"It's just that if there is an accident, I can't control it. I will naturally remember your highness's words. The rest can only depend on the situation."
Naha breathed a sigh of relief. Said: "I will reply to the prince right now. Take your leave."
To be honest, it’s not like Naha came out at this time. But the ideas of officials in Ming Dynasty were similar to those of Naha. I don't want to wade into muddy waters, let alone get involved in such a storm. However, many things are beyond his control.
If the prince wants him to do something, can Nahachu refuse?
The reason why the prince asked Naha to spread the message was that he knew that Naha had a shallow foundation in the Ming Dynasty. It could be said that he had no foundation at all, regardless of whether he was a marquis or a lord. There are also private soldiers in Goryeo. But compared with other nobles of the Ming Dynasty, they are naturally far from comparable.
They didn't even have the confidence to reject the prince.
Moreover, Naha is cautious and has the least relationship with other people, while Chahan is under the prince's command. Don't worry, Naha will cause chaos when he comes out. After all, Naha appeared to be submissive now, but in fact, the Muhuali family played some big and small roles in the repeated civil strife in the Yuan Dynasty.
As far as political sense is concerned, no Ming official knows what to do about this matter.
Also don't pay attention to smokers.
He comes in a hurry and leaves in a hurry. It was like a ripple in the water, and no one noticed that he lay flat again.
------
"Your Highness." Chahan was dressed in extremely exquisite armor and was covered in vermilion. During the action, the armor was sonorous and powerful. He half-knelt down and saluted, and said, "My father has sent news and has informed Mr. He. Mr. He has also responded."
The prince said calmly: "Say."
Chahan said: "Master He said: He has no intention of killing. The only one who has the power of life and death at this time is Your Majesty. He can only do his best."
The prince sighed, waved his hand and said, "Go down. Don't let others know about today's matter."
Chahan immediately agreed and retreated slowly.
The prince actually tried to persuade Liu Sanwu several times, but he encountered Liu Sanwu's opposition every time. Every time Liu Sanwu objected, the prince was deeply shocked.
Much of the modern scientific knowledge that the prince learned was a waste of time. Just to see the results. After all, many things require mathematical skills. Don't talk about science. Even the humanities often require a lot of calculations. Without these, many things would be very unclear.
But Liu Sanwu was different. The prince also studied Confucianism since childhood. He has the same fundamental connection with Liu Sanwu, and he understands many things without explanation.
Under Liu Sanwu's explanation, the prince had a deeper understanding of what Zhu Yuanzhang and He Xi were going to do.
I also understand better what kind of resistance I will encounter if I do this.
It is not an exaggeration to say that everyone in the world will rebel.
The current system of the Ming Dynasty is the most stable and stable. Any change involves risk, and the more sophisticated the management, the greater the risk. In fact, He Xi's reform can also be understood in another way, that is, the relationship between the central and local governments has changed.
Previously, the Ming Dynasty left a large amount of financial surplus in the local areas, which was divided among the squires, officials, and subordinate staff. The taxes collected are estimated to be two to three times, or even more, than the amount reported to the court.
After the reform, Ming Dynasty wanted to hand over every ounce of financial power. Not to mention the huge administrative costs, the backlash from these gray vested interests alone was quite serious.
Don’t fight the problems of one county. But a government, a province, or even the whole world is a raging fire.
Liu Sanwu knew that there were too few reform projects, but the prince knew more. He understood better what Zhu Yuanzhang and He Xi were going to do? It's like changing the world.
When he thought of this, the prince felt extremely stressed and felt even more sorry for Liu Sanwu. He wanted to save Fang Xiaoru and Liu Sanwu, but now it seems that there is no hope in this matter.
The prince thought to himself: "Wait a while and see if there is any other way."
Unconsciously, some of Liu Sanwu's words had penetrated deeply into the prince's heart. Wait for the opportunity to bring order to the chaos. The prince didn't think that he was opposing the reform, but he didn't think that he should take action like this.
