Yin Zhengmao's opposition is not unfounded, but based on realistic considerations. The most important task for Ming Dynasty at the moment is to make Ming Dynasty achieve its grand goal of becoming great again.
When everything conflicts with these, alleviation measures should be adopted, and the pursuit of Zhang Siwei will affect the realization of this goal.
This is the priority in the theory of contradictions, the distinction between primary and secondary contradictions. As a disciple of Zhang Juzheng, Yin Zhengmao read the theory of contradictions, and he read it very seriously.
Yin Zhengmao said quite accurately: "If you read history, you will find that the New Deal has always been highly bound to people, such as Li Kui's Reform, Wu Qi's Reform, Zou Ji's Reform, Shen Buhu's Reform, Shang Yang's Reform, Wang Anshi's Reform, and Fan Zhongyan's Reform. It’s inconsistent with the theory of contradiction, so why do we need to change the law?”
"Those who have the clearest principles in the world are bound to come to pass. If the emperor does not change the law now, he will surely perish."
"Reform is the general trend. It is the intensification of social contradictions to a certain extent. Reform is not just one person's thought. It comes when we have to make changes. It is when we are exhausted. If we are poor, we will think about change. Change will lead to generalization. Generalization will lead to success."
"This is also a contradiction. It is obviously the general trend of the world and is caused by the intensification of conflicts in the world. Taking today as an example, is it because Yuan Fu is using his own power to carry out the reform, or is it because the people with ambition in the Ming Dynasty are supporting Yuan Fu's reform? Times make heroes. Or do heroes create the situation? But throughout the ages, reforms have often been highly bound to a certain person's ambition and passion."
"Why do you do this? Highly bind the reform to one person?"
"Reforms fail in most cases. Except for Li Kui's reform and Shang Yang's reform, they all end up with the personal demise of the government. Even Shang Yang's reform ended up being quartered."
"Because it is much easier to oppose a person than to oppose the general trend. When the New Deal and reforms are highly bound to a certain person, we can put various labels on this person, such as greedy for money, lustful, and murderous. By nature, powerful and unkind, come to oppose and deny this person."
"From opposing one person to opposing all his decrees, it became a matter of course and a matter of course. This was true for everything except Shang Yang's reform."
"It is much simpler this way. This is also the power of peeling off the skin and bones. By denying a person, we can completely deny all his achievements, and then complete the comprehensive opposition and complete negation of the New Deal."
Yin Zhengmao elaborated on his concerns in detail. He was not interceding for Zhang Siwei, but stating the difficulties and resistance to the Ming Dynasty's reform. There were too many opponents. Zhang Juzheng was still able to suppress one or two, and fully inherited Can the little emperor of Zhang Juzheng's legacy really be able to suppress the wave of opposition from these opponents?
In the face of many difficulties, almost everyone naturally has a kind of pessimism, that is: Just like this, forget it, almost forget it, it doesn't matter whether you do it or not, why do it? If you do more, you will make more mistakes, if you do less, you will make fewer mistakes. If you do not do well, just maintain the status quo.
There are many opponents, and the whole world is guilty. No one can guarantee that the emperor, a naturally noble man, will bravely face these difficulties, instead of lying down and choosing to escape.
Zhang Juzheng was quite touched by Yin Zhengmao's remarks. He also thought about what happened after his death, but after thinking about it over and over, he only got one answer, that is, seize the day and night. No matter how powerful a person is, he doesn't care about what happens after his death. Emperor Taizu Gao also asked Jianwenjun became emperor, but in the end the Yan Mansion took the throne from the Prince's Mansion.
"With the great success of the country, An can care about personal honor and disgrace?" Zhang Juzheng was silent for a moment and then gave Yin Zhengmao the answer.
Yin Zhengmao shook his head and said: "This is not a personal honor or disgrace, it is a matter of national interest. You, Zhang Juzheng, are completely tied to the New Deal."
"Come and have a drink." Zhang Juzheng did not agree in the end. He did not want to persuade the little emperor to stop. It is normal for everyone to have differences. In Zhang Juzheng's utopia and world of great harmony, it was the wise monarchs he trained after him who led the way. Daming continued walking.
Yin Zhengmao also hopes that by maintaining Zhang Juzheng's reputation, he will make Zhang Juzheng impeccable and make these five words of Zhang Juzheng's reform sustainable.
When the two people had differences, Zhang Juzheng did not quarrel with Yin Zhengmao, but chose to shelve the dispute.
In the next half month, Yin Zhengmao has been participating in court meetings and participating in the Ming Dynasty's discussion on the process of transforming Luzon into counties. On the one hand, Yin Zhengmao has the surname of the country, which is feudal. On the other hand, the Ming Dynasty wants to transform Luzon into counties. This It's a county.
Feudalism and counties are antagonistic in most cases, but at some point they are unified. For example, the Duke of Guizhou, this practical successful case, makes everyone pay attention to the process and development of feudalism and counties in Luzon. The future is very promising.
After finally ending the topic, Zhu Yijun had another screen the same size as the official screen be carried out and placed on the right side of the court. The official screen was on the left and this screen was on the right.
Zhu Yijun smiled and said: "Feng Daban, please tell everyone what this is."
"I accept the decree." Feng Bao walked off the platform and pulled off the red silk cloth. The true face of the screen appeared in front of everyone. There were grids on it, and each grid had a diagram. These The charts include: fish scale book, yellow book, rice and grain table from various places, official examination results table from various places, etc. All the tables that the courtiers can think of and unexpectedly are on it.
Feng Bao said with a smile: "The degree bypasses fifteen screens."
"Take the Fish Scale Register as an example. The Director of Ceremonies checked all the history of the country, and compiled the fish scale registers in the last month of each year to make a table. The changes in the acres in the past two hundred years, although it has been declining since the 26th year of Hongwu. , gradually decreased from 8.5 million hectares, but by the fifteenth year of Hongzhi, it dropped sharply to 4 million hectares, 400 million acres of farmland. It is worth noting that the number of official farmland dropped from 420,000 acres in the 26th year of Hongwu. The 150,000 hectares were reduced to 600,000 hectares, and the official land dropped sharply from half to one-seventh of the imperial land."
"This is a financial and taxation table. The dynasty's financial and taxation increased from the Hongwu period to the Yongle period, and then began to decrease from the first year of Hongxi. Today, it only costs 4 million stone grain and more than 2 million silver in Taicang. .”
Feng Bao introduced the data of various degrees of bypass in the Ming Dynasty in turn. This is ironclad evidence of the steady decline of the Ming Dynasty's national power.
The fifth year of Longqing was the year when the Ming Dynasty had the lowest fish scales, yellow books, finances, taxes, and treasury. The sixth year of Longqing was slightly better. In the fifth year of Longqing, the national money deposits were only 120,000 taels. At the end of the sixth year of Longqing, there were still 390,000 taels. .
Feng Bao came to the last of the fifteen screens, stood in front of the screen and said: "This screen is a public opinion table."
"His Majesty asked the Supervisor of Ceremonies to review all the memorials last year, divided them into several major categories, set up several keyword selections, and organized and classified all related memorials."
"The first category is worshiping the ancients, not the worshiping of the ancients by the great Sikou kings, but the ignorant worshiping of the ancients above three generations of Dharma. There are 4,581 memorials written by three generations of Dharma lecturers. This was the biggest hot word last year. In order not to cause trouble to the Great Sikou, His Majesty changed this category to the word retro."
After hearing this, Wang Chonggu shook his hands, knelt on the ground, and bowed to the ground without saying a word for a long time. After a long pause, he said loudly: "I am so grateful that I shed tears."
The name was given by his parents. In order to prevent him from getting into trouble, His Majesty changed the name from Chonggu to Retro. The definition was more accurate and it also saved Wang Chonggu a lot of trouble.
"No courtesy for the great minister." Zhu Yijun waved his hand and motioned for Wang Chonggu to sit down and continue listening.
Feng Bao said with a smile: "The second category is the memorials against Yuan Fu's rule and against Yuan Fu's new policies. All of them are classified. A total of 4519 books appeared. The first and second categories are almost completely Overlapping, the courtiers closely linked the restoration and the retrogression together and confused them.”
"It is true that many of the memorials did not explicitly oppose Yuan Fu's rule, but the ceremonial supervisors were all scholars who were born in the inner study room, and they could still read the yin and yang and criticize the mulberry trees. The courtiers knew clearly what the memorials meant. The eunuchs in charge of rituals know it well, and Your Majesty knows it even more."
Feng Bao knew for sure that the young emperor was very good at reading. In accordance with the first principle of all approvals, His Majesty had read almost every memorial. His Majesty also remembered Wang Shizhen’s memorial. Therefore, Feng Bao did not deceive the Holy Emperor. Perform statistics conscientiously.
"I don't know for a moment whether I should be honored, angry, or sad." Zhang Juzheng has never conducted such statistics. The memorials of the Ming Dynasty courtiers actually closely combined the restoration and reversal of Zhang Juzheng. Creating this kind of wind and public opinion.
"The third category is gathering. This category points the finger at Yuan Fu, and at the same time it targets Da Situ Wang Guoguang and Da Sikou Wang Chonggu. Yes, Da Sikou has also changed since he took over the business of the woolen official factory. He became a minister of gathering, no, the guilty minister had the name of a great Sikou in his biography. There were also eunuchs, general offices, and officials at all levels of the Yunnan governor from various textile bureaus in the Ming Dynasty who made money. Wang Daokun, the governor of Songjiang who presided over the opening of the sea, and the governor of Qing Dynasty Song Yiwang, Pan Jixun, Xie Pengju, Pang Shangpeng, Ling Yunyi, etc. are all trying to gather guilty officials."
"There are 3,490 documents in this category, impeachment and gathering of ministers."
"The fourth major category is harsh criticism. There are 3,205 memorials that harshly criticize officials all over the world. These memorials are mainly against the imperial examination and harsh punishment of officials. In this category, the targets are Yang Bo, Zhang Juzheng, and Zhang Han. , Wan Shihe, everyone, please specify here separately that Zhang Han was scolded more than 1,500 times. He was considered to have flattered the powerful ministers of the Yuan Dynasty, was cowardly, sat there and watched the officials lose their power, etc. He was scolded last year. More than 1,500 times.”
Hai Rui said in disbelief: "Zhang Han is like that, yet he has been scolded more than a thousand times?"
"If you want to see it, go to Wenyuan Pavilion to see it. You will know if it is true or false at a glance." Feng Bao did not explain the authenticity of the data. He knew that the character of Zhang Juzheng, the suspect, would definitely be checked personally to prevent The little emperor was deceived, and he, Feng Bao, didn't bother to explain more. He could tell the truth at a glance.
"The fifth major category is the promotion of culture and martial arts..." Feng Bao continued to explain the data analysis. The data inside was very detailed.
"If these latter categories are classified as opposing the New Deal, they will immediately become the first major category, with a total of 4,912 copies." Feng Bao finished introducing the various data of the public opinion table and even made a summary.
Generally speaking, they are restoring the old ways, opposing the New Deal, and undermining government. This is what the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty have been chatting about all year long. There are very few courtiers who can put forward constructive opinions. If they are asked to work hard to revive the Ming Dynasty, they will not be able to do it, but let them They're a drag, and they're extremely good at it.
It was mainly the court officials who put forward constructive opinions, and the court officials only had one Marquis Yu Zhao, so they were still loyal to the emperor and the country, so they put forward several constructive opinions.
The most influential thing here is the restructuring of military merit, which changed from head rewards to merit rewards, and the battle line became the standard for measuring military merit.
On this point, Hou Yuzhao never raised any constructive opinions in his whole life, and everyone was ignored. Zhu Yijun would not think of Hou Yuzhao, and it had a profound impact. Hou Yuzhao's memorial may not have been his original intention, but it was indeed a head reward. , but it is not very suitable for the general trend of the Ming Dynasty. It was not proposed by Hou Yuzhao, but also by the generals of the Ming Dynasty.
Hou Yu Zhao dares to be the first in the world, which is the merit of being first.
Hou Yuzhao is currently cultivating land in Liaodong, covering the 140 miles from Pinglu Fort to Durbi Mountain. This kind of reclamation involves establishing forts at key locations to prevent bandits from looting, and reclaiming wasteland for farming. In the army camp, Hou Yu Zhao cultivated a total of 130,000 acres of land. One thousand, three hundred hectares may not seem like much, but a little adds up to a lot, and the water drops penetrate the stone.
"Our courtiers in the Ming Dynasty are still too idle." Zhu Yijun looked at the screen and said: "Sir, find something for them to do. Don't do nothing day by day. Oppose this and that every day. Oppose for the sake of opposition. , can their opposition be based on practical opposition, instead of shouting about retrograde things all day long?”
"To open an eye for the powerful Jin gentry and serve as an official for the powerful Jin gentry, just put it on the table and say, why drag the ancients into it?"
The courtiers are somewhat behind the times. If this retro style can lead to impeachment, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and his like will never be able to reach the position of Yuan Fu.
Yin Zhengmao looked at the degree bypass screen and was stunned for a long time. Can the degree bypass still be used like this? Is this Zhang Juzheng’s idea or the little emperor’s idea? The numbers don't lie. It's clear at a glance what the courtiers want. Retrospective. Above the third generation of law, the emperor and the court should not be so lenient.
"As for the case of burning the palace, 1,728 people were killed." Zhu Yijun talked about another matter, the case of Zhang Siwei. This case is already a solid case. The problem now is that too many people were killed.
Everyone was silent when talking about this. It was really hard to express their opinion. If they agreed, it would encourage the emperor to be unkind. If they disagreed, it would be against the holy will.
"Big Sikou, if it involves a large number of people, we have to mention the Hongwu period. Let's start with the Kongyin case." Zhu Yijun said.
Wang Chonggu was also one of the criminals. Although a lock of hair was a punishment, if he misunderstood the holy will, he would die. He was silent for a moment and said: "The Kongyin case itself is fake."
Wang Chonggupin had no holy intention. He had no idea what the emperor was planning to do, so he planned to discuss it honestly.
Wang Chonggu bowed his head and said: "I have read the history of the country, the laws of the Ming Dynasty, the royal imperial edicts, and the Huidian. There is no crime of empty seals. The earliest record of the empty seal case is Fang Xiaoru's "Xun Zhi Zhai Ji". If there is no historical record, it cannot be trusted. .”
"Your Majesty, if Emperor Taizu Gao really wanted to kill tens of thousands of people, it would have been written clearly in the royal imperial edict. The literati of the early Ming Dynasty would have written a special letter, but only Fang Xiaoru's original copy was Testify, how can I believe that the words of a family can be true?"
"Fang Xiaoru said: In the ninth year of Hongwu, when the Qian Gu Ce book was examined in the world, the empty seal incident started. All the chief seal officials and those with names in the department were arrested and sent to the censor's prison. Hundreds of people were imprisoned."
"But who exactly died? The only person who could be identified was Fang Xiaoru's father, Fang Keqin, and national history records that Fang Keqin embezzled two hundred kilograms of charcoal reeds from the official treasury and was convicted and executed."
"According to Fang Xiaoru, Emperor Taizu Gao killed all the people holding seal handles. In 13 provinces, 153 prefectures, and 1171 counties, all the seal masters died. His deputy beat him with a hundred military staffs and then sent him to the army. , are there still officials in the world?"
"Fang Xiaoru is a humble Confucian, and his words cannot be trusted."
"I say that his words are not credible because his "Xunzhizhai Collection" itself is full of errors and omissions. I take the biography of Zheng Shili in "Xunzhizhai Collection" as an example."
"Fang Xiaoru said that Zheng Shili submitted the memorial to save his brother in order to save his brother. However, according to the records of the royal imperial edict, this is not the case."
"Zheng Shili's elder brother Zheng Shiyuan was convicted because of his outspoken remonstrance. Prince Yiwen pleaded for mercy because of Tang Taizong's acceptance of Wei Zheng's remonstrance. Finally, Emperor Gao considered Zheng Shiyuan to be honest, upright, and courageous in admonishing and promoting good deeds. He was promoted to the fifth rank of Huguang's envoy Si Qianshi. "
"Fang Xiaoru made three mistakes. The first mistake was that he misunderstood the reason for Zheng Shili's speech. Zheng Shili's speech was not to save his brother, but because things changed at that time, and Emperor Taizu Gao ordered the Confucian scholars in the world to speak out; the second mistake was that The reason why Emperor Taizu Gao forgave Zheng Shiyuan was because Prince Yiwen accepted the remonstrance of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. Taizu forgave his brother Zheng Shiyuan, but not because his brother Zheng Shiyuan said he forgave him. The third mistake was the result. Zheng Shiyuan was promoted to the fifth rank, while Fang Xiaoru was Talk about exile.”
"The empty seal case that has spread across the country probably does not exist. I believe that this is just a fabrication made by Fang Xiaoru to exonerate his father."
"The main reason why I believe in the historical records of the country and not what Fang Xiaoru said is that Emperor Taizu Gao lived an upright life and never avoided talking about the three years of begging in Huangjue Temple. The cases he personally handled were all listed in the imperial edicts , Moreover, Emperor Gao is wise, powerful, and good at making decisions, and Prince Yiwen’s words are more credible.”
Wang Chonggu bowed his head again and said: "Your Majesty, I am frightened and the whole family is joking. I beg your Majesty to make a clear decision."
Zhu Yijun thought for a moment and said: "A history book?"
"Your Majesty is a wise man." Wang Chonggu was amazed. His Majesty is really good at summarizing. He could clearly sum up his meaning in just four words. Time flies, things have passed, and the authenticity can no longer be confirmed. Then with a few twists and turns, it's It became a history book.
Wang Chonggu believed that the case of the Empty Seal Case was a historical record fabricated out of thin air by the Ming Dynasty to create anti-investment and public opinion. Because there is no historical record of its belief, it was a major case that implicated tens of thousands of people, killed hundreds of people, and exiled tens of thousands of people. National historical records , imperial imperial edict, not a single word was written.
Among the four major cases in the early Ming Dynasty, the Kongyin case, the Hu Weiyong case, the Guo Huan case, and the Lanyu case, only the Kongyin case was the most strange, with unknown time, unknown characters, and unknown disposition.
Regarding the three major cases of Hu Weiyong, Guo Huan, and Lan Yu, Emperor Taizu Gao specially wrote two books, "Records of Revealing Traitors" and "Records of Rebellious Ministers" in the 23rd year of Hongwu, to record in detail the evidence of the collusion between these people. The final disposition of time, place and character is clear and clear.
The Kongyin case was the most bizarre. Even when it happened, there were different opinions. Wang Chonggu really refused to believe it.
Li Shanchang, the grand master of the Ming Dynasty and the most honored minister of the Ming Dynasty, had a family of seventy-two people recorded when he died. Why was there nothing in the Kongyin case?
Of course, it may be that Wang Chonggu was not proficient in reading history and did not find the records of national history, so he misunderstood Fang Xiaoru.
"What about the other three cases?" Zhu Yijun didn't say whether he believed it or not. Wang Chonggu also said that it was his family's opinion. As for whether there is any and what the situation is, it is up to the individual to judge.
"We have all the evidence." Wang Chonggu finally chose to take sides and answered His Majesty with all the evidence.
"What do you think of these 1,728 people being executed?" Zhu Yijun asked again calmly.
Wang Chonggu couldn't see the change in the little emperor's face at all, and couldn't taste what the holy intention was. Then he bowed his head and said: "It's well-founded."
Don't ask, just kill. Your little emperor holds meetings on the foundation every day, isn't it just to kill people?
The ministers became quiet again, waiting for the emperor's decision.
"Kill." Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said, "I have given up my mind, so don't discuss this matter."
"I obey the order, I will retire." The courtiers looked at me, and I looked at you, and finally obeyed the order of the leader, and then left the Wenhua Palace.
Yin Zhengmao and Zhang Juzheng stayed. Yin Zhengmao wanted to say goodbye to the young emperor and return to Luzon, while Zhang Juzheng wanted to stay and continue the feast.
Yin Zhengmao thought about it for a long time and repeated what he said to Zhang Juzheng. Yin Zhengmao believed that Zhang Siwei and other twenty-four criminals would be sentenced to death, or simply sent to the Jiejuyuan, but their family members would be left alone. If the ship sails south to Luzon, it will never return to the Ming Dynasty.
"Sir, do you think you shouldn't kill him?" Zhu Yijun asked, "The reason why I hesitate a little is because I might damage your reputation."
Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said: "I think I should be killed. Yin Butang repeatedly told me that I shouldn't be killed, saying that I am bound to the New Deal. But in my opinion, this New Deal is not a new deal for me alone. How can I be tied to it?" Say? Whether you are a sycophant or a treacherous minister, honor and disgrace will be judged by the Spring and Autumn Period."
Zhang Juzheng believed that after him, His Majesty would still firmly continue to reform the old and reform the old. Zhang Juzheng's New Deal became the Wanli New Deal, and his personal honor and disgrace were cut off from the historical process of the Ming Dynasty.
As for the death of Zhang Siwei's party members and family members, it will be judged in the future whether he was a party member of Zhang Juzheng, was a lackey of the emperor, or was Zhang Siwei's own fault for his treason. This will all be commented by future generations, and Zhang Juzheng was even happy to see it happen.
Take the blame for the New Deal on yourself, and attribute the achievements of the New Deal to His Majesty. After he leaves, Your Majesty can pin all the charges on his head, settle old scores, and move forward easily.
Yin Zhengmao understood what Zhang Juzheng meant and said no more. He said goodbye to His Majesty and went to Tianjin Guards to lead the ship. When leaving Beijing, Yin Zhengmao also received a naval gun, which made Yin Zhengmao happy for a long time.
No one in the court was running for Zhang Siwei anymore. The affairs of Zhang Siwei and other Yi tribes were quickly put on the agenda.
When everyone thought that the case had been determined, Zhu Yijun, Feng Bao and Zhang Hong suddenly appeared in the prison of Fusi Yamen in Beizhen. This was Zhu Yijun's impromptu idea. Even the prison of Fusi in Beizhen was not cleaned at all. , seems particularly cold.
The little emperor decided to see Zhang Siwei one last time.
"The guilty minister pays homage to your majesty. Long live your majesty, long live, long live your majesty." Zhang Siwei was finally hurt from the beating. He knelt on the ground, bowing his head and not daring to make any disrespectful remarks.
Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said, "Do you have anything else to say?"
"I cannot escape the blame for my crimes. I sincerely ask your Majesty to spare the lives of my family members. I am a humble person. Your Majesty has killed me and other members of the party. I have nothing to say. However, political strife has brought harm to my family members. Once this story is opened, it is the culprits." Later, it turned out that the minister was actually a treacherous person, and many people in the world used this to get to the point, deny Yuan Fu, and deny the power of the New Deal. Public opinion will inevitably become more uproar." Zhang Siwei knelt on the ground and said in horror.
Zhu Yijun said calmly: "Didn't you start this? Threaten Li Le's family, old mother and young son, and force Li Le to submit."
"I didn't do it, and I can't do it. I'm just trying to scare people." Zhang Siwei bowed again and admitted that he was not that powerful.
Zhang Siwei bowed his head again and said: "It is really a waste of the country's vitality to use it on the ministers. Killing the guilty ministers is enough to have the effect of intimidation. Killing the guilty ministers' family members will happen again, fearing that the world will be unsafe. My husband Yuan Fu is a group. If I don't lead my actions with encouragement, how will my subordinates feel? Today, Yuan Fu has killed all my family members. Yuan Fu's disciples will definitely act accordingly. The world will be unsafe, and Yuan Fu's way of control will be exhausted."
Zhang Siwei talked about an issue that Yin Zhengmao, Zhang Juzheng and Zhu Yijun did not notice.
That is, Zhang Juzheng is not omnipotent. He is a human being. His disciple Gao Qiyu even took actions similar to persuading people to enter. Zhang Juzheng’s methods of control are not endless. Once Zhang Juzheng is in the country, he will cause disaster. When family matters come up, the people below think it is the rule and do the same. The world will be uneasy, strife will become more intense, and all officials in the world will be tired of fighting and no longer deal with state affairs.
The struggle will expand without any rules, and may even be exploited by those with ulterior motives, to the point where Zhang Juzheng's control methods have been exhausted.
"Go on." Zhu Yijun asked, tapping his fingers on the armrest.
Zhang Siwei bowed again and said: "Yuan Fu not only led him to promote things, but also warned him to abide by the law. There is no such perfect thing in the world. The guilty minister will be punished by heaven. The crime cannot be punished. I plead for my relatives and relatives. If The world is tired of conflicts and fighting, government affairs are piled up but cannot be sorted out, and discipline and principles are too low to be promoted, which will definitely damage the vitality of the country. The sins of guilty ministers cannot be forgiven, and if we continue to miss the important issues of the country, it will do more harm than good."
It is both necessary and undesirable. We must kill Zhang Siwei's whole family, and we must abide by the rules when fighting among all the officials in the world, and do not engage in internecine affairs. How can there be such a good thing in the world? Everyone is fighting back and forth, and government affairs are piled up. If we don't clean it up, the discipline system will be ruined and we can't revive it, which will harm the vitality of the Ming Dynasty.
"Go on." Zhu Yijun stopped tapping his fingers and continued to ask.
Zhang Siwei bowed again and said in horror: "Yuanfu is the most respected minister, the emperor's master is the chief minister of the country, and he has a long history. Therefore, any action will not only be tolerated by people in one generation, but will be tolerated by the whole world for generations to come. It is a crime." I am a sycophant who only cares about self-interest and does great harm. He confuses right and wrong, confuses right and wrong, and makes clever slanderous remarks to slander good people. He punishes ministers and other party members as threats and punishments. I sincerely fear that they will miss the important events that are inspiring the Ming Dynasty."
It's not worth it, the harm outweighs the benefit. He, Zhang Siwei, is a dead man. Yuan Fu wanted to leave his name in history. Killing Zhang Siwei and his party members was their mistake and they deserved it, but implicating the public would really benefit the court. , is it conducive to the resurgence of Ming Dynasty?
"The guilty minister is about to die, but his words are also kind. I beg your Majesty to clearly understand the Holy Judgment." Zhang Siwei said tremblingly.
"You have had this awareness for a long time, how come you have fallen to this point?" Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Siwei, sneered, and said with emotion. This time, Zhang Siwei became more awake and spoke more calmly. Get organized.
The absence of the empty seal case is a theory. It does not deny that Zhu Yuanzhang was murderous. The other three major cases of the four major cases are all clearly recorded. Only the empty seal case is a bit strange. It may be that the author has read less history and did not notice it. There's something going on in the afternoon, maybe in the evening, or maybe not. Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! ! !
