cabinet.
Xie Jin rubbed his eyebrows and sighed, full of sadness.
Yu Xin wasn't much better. He looked at the memorial in his hand and could only frown and pick up the tea bowl. The hot tea was already cold.
"Xiao Qi, a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs, wrote a letter to object and hope that the emperor can take back the three decrees. How should we describe this memorial?"
Yu Xin put away the memorial, stood up and walked towards Jie Jin.
Xie Jin waved his hand: "Yuan Wai Lang is nothing. What is really worrying is this memorial."
Yu Xin took the memorial handed over by Xie Jin, opened it, took a deep breath, and shouted in surprise: "How could Fang Xizhi be involved in such court affairs?"
Fang Xizhi, Fang Xiaoru!
Jie Jin picked up the tea bowl, lost his usual elegance, drank it all in one gulp, and sighed: "Fang Xizhi is different from others. His words have a great influence. He opposes the three decrees. If not handled properly, it may cause dissatisfaction." Chaofengbo."
Yu Xin nodded solemnly.
Fang Xiaoru has kept a low profile in recent years, focusing on his studies and rarely participating in government affairs. But no one can ignore his voice. You must know that his current full title is Bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, Dean of the Imperial College of Confucianism, Doctor of the Institute of Ideological and Political Science, and he also has the power to supervise the cabinet.
Whether it is the Hanlin Academy, the Imperial College, or the Institute of Ideological and Political Science, there is a group of people who call Fang Xiaoru sir. If the sir speaks out, his disciples will follow suit. If the sir is bullied, there is no guarantee that a group of people will cause trouble tomorrow.
Jie Jin had a headache and said helplessly: "Fang Xizhi is getting more and more involved in the court. This is not a good thing."
Yu Xin knew that Jie Jin was talking about the fact that during the cold disaster last winter, Fang Xiaoru and his students asked Zhu Yunwen to issue a criminal edict. Logically speaking, it doesn't matter how it snows or how cold it is, it has nothing to do with Fang Xiaoru. Five thousand kilograms of coal jumped out of the Imperial College. And this incident seems to have become a signal, a signal that Fang Xiaoru wants to be active in government affairs.
Only a few months later, Fang Xiaoru was once again involved in military affairs.
The three thousand words in the memorial describe the state of etiquette, and the whole article advocates peace as good and neighbors as friends. It is just to warn Zhu Yunzhen that the Ming Dynasty should not bully other countries and be domineering, but should be humble, friendly, tolerant and generous to others. Give mercy to those who deserve it, and don't cause war to cause harm to the people and soldiers.
Yu Xin read Fang Xiaoru's memorial and said uneasily to Xie Jin: "If it is handed over to Wuying Palace, Fang Xi will be in trouble."
Jie Jin helplessly added tea and nodded bitterly: "The Yangjiang Shipyard was robbed. The military situation was clearly written, and 200 Japanese prisoners were captured. They were confirmed to be Japanese warriors, not ordinary Japanese pirates. It can be seen from this that, The King of Japan, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, has extended his hand to our Ming Dynasty. It can be said that it is an undeclared war. I, the Ming Dynasty, have reciprocally declared war on the Japanese country. It is reasonable and well-founded. How can I object and let the emperor be tolerant and obey Taizu not to conquer the country? This is really ridiculous!"
Yu Xin was very embarrassed when he took Fang Xiaoru's memorial.
He and Jie Jin opposed Zhu Yunwen's escalation of the situation, did not send out the navy to track down and destroy Chen Zuyi, and did not fight against the Japanese. In the final analysis, it was not because they did not want to support, but because there were too many domestic problems, such as the Northwest incident and the Peiping incident, which cost the court too much. Human, material and financial resources cannot withstand more troubles.
When Zhu Yunwen tightened his belt and made up his mind to deal with Chen Zuyi, Xie Jin and Yu Xin nodded. Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Household Affairs, did not object, but clearly supported avenging the soldiers who died in Yangjiang and recapturing the shipwrights and court officials. Most of the people wanted to join the war faction. In this case, Fang Xiaoru sang the opposite tune, not because of practical difficulties, but because of the generosity of Confucian scholars. This is a bit nonsense.
When did Confucian generosity, not the light of Buddhism, shine on the enemy's head?
If anyone had told the Japanese who killed the Yangjiang sergeant to put down his butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately, Zhu Yunwen would probably have raised his butcher knife to kill his whole family, then put down his butcher knife and returned to Wuying Hall to continue being his "Buddha".
The country has the dignity of the country and the bottom line of the country. People don’t give you dignity and trample on your bottom line. You still eagerly come up to me and say, you slapped me on the left cheek, but I still have the right cheek to slap you. Even if You beat me into a pig's head, but I am also tolerant and philanthropic. We are good friends and I will not use a knife on you.
This kind of logic and thinking was so pedantic that even Yu Xin found it terrifying, but it happened that these pedantic words were spoken by a great Confucian, and behind him, there were people who believed in him.
Yu Xin sighed: "It's a bit ridiculous, but this memorial has been sent to the cabinet. I think the six ministries have also known about it. The courtiers are watching the attitude of the cabinet and the emperor. If a rebuttal is drafted, those who speak out for Fang Xizhi must Everyone, tomorrow you and I will be criticized and impeached by others. If we do not deal with it and directly transfer it to the emperor, we will definitely be reprimanded by the emperor."
This is where Xie Jin's headaches come from. There is a group of Confucian scholars behind Fang Xiaoru. Not only will they respond to every call, but it is still possible to call someone number 30 or 50. Although he is not afraid of impeachment, he doesn't want to be scolded all the time. Who knows what words these people can come up with, but if they are too far-fetched and drag themselves down, it will be really unfair.
"Just follow your heart."
Xie Jin made up his mind that he could not let Zhu Yunwen resist everything. He needed to have the awareness to be a shield. Whether the Navy declared war on Chen Zuyi or the Ming Dynasty declared war on Japan, these are politically correct things that you should do and should not be afraid of.
Standing does not depend on where other people's voices are, but on where your own feet stand.
Yu Xin watched Xie Jin wave his hand and wrote a judgment:
If you want to speak frankly, women and children will spit on it.
Chen Jin proposed that he should be dismissed from his doctorate position in the School of Ideology and Government to see the consequences.
The simple words are full of ridicule and have the edge of counterattack. Yu Xin looked at Jie Jin worriedly: "In this case, there will be no room for maneuver between you and Fang Xizhi."
Xie Jin snorted coldly and said with disdain: "If he doesn't accept it, he can bring his disciples to fight. Xie Jin is not afraid of him yet."
Yu Xin pondered for a moment, shook his head, picked up his pen and added four more words after Xie Jin's comment:
The minister seconded the motion.
Xie Jin was a little surprised: "You and Fang Xizhi have a good personal relationship. If you do this, I'm afraid..."
Yu Xin turned around and said firmly: "How can national affairs be allowed to be influenced by personal affairs? Although the imperial court declared war on the Japanese country in a hurry, and with the current strength of the navy, it is difficult to conduct an expedition against the Japanese country, but the Japanese soldiers invaded our Yangjiang and killed us. Sergeant, if we don't make our attitude clear, what dignity will the Ming Dynasty have? As Mei Yin said, everyone in the world is watching the court, we can't retreat."
Xie Jin compiled the memorial and sighed: "It's a pity that they don't understand that the way to govern a country is to be tolerant and benevolent to all directions. They always think that even if the country is big and warlike, it will perish. Just watch, I'm afraid the voices of opposition will be endless." "
Yu Xin knew this. The education received by Confucian scholars determined that they were too tolerant towards the outside world and always hoped to seek peaceful means to solve problems. Over the years, while Zhu Yunwen was prospering in civil society, he did not give up his martial arts. Perhaps this Exploration, war and adventure, let them restless.
In fact, I was uneasy myself.
Yu Xin sat down and fell into deep thought. From the current point of view, what Zhu Yunwen did was not wrong, but he felt that everything happened in a daze, and there was always an indescribable feeling. It seemed that all the countermeasures had been solved long ago. On Zhu Yunwen's desk, the emergence of the Yangjiang incident gave Zhu Yunwen exactly this opportunity.
Both Mei Yin and Tie Xuan strongly advocated sending out naval forces against Chen Zuyi, but no one advocated declaring war on Japan, and no one could think of sending envoys to North Korea to discuss borrowing waterways or jointly attacking Japan. But among Zhu Yunwen's three decrees, only the first was aimed at Chen Zuyi, while the second and third were both aimed at the Japanese country.
This emperor is still the same as before, eh, bitter and resentful towards the Japanese country?
That's right!
It’s the feeling of great bitterness and deep hatred.
From the first year of Jianwen, when the Japanese supervisors were driven away and the Japanese were banned from entering the Ming Dynasty and the sea, then the coastal guards were rectified and the Japanese pirates were wiped out, and now they have declared war completely, and even mean to kill the Japanese.
Looking at the past, Zhu Yunwen had no intention of letting it go just because he was associated with the Japanese country.
Yu Xin even suspected that if the Tatars and Walas invaded the border and killed hundreds of Ming Dynasty soldiers, Zhu Yunwen would probably not have such an attitude. At most, he would strengthen his vigilance and look for opportunities to deal with them.
Zhu Yunwen saw Fang Xiaoru's memorial, and his patience with this great scholar was exhausted, so he issued an order to summon
When Fang Xiaoru entered the palace, no one knew what happened inside. They only knew that Fang Xiaoru fell down three times on the way out of the palace.
Early the next morning, Fang Xiaoru wrote a memorial, saying that he was getting old and wanted to go home to Ninghai to spend a few days of leisure. Faced with the resignation of such a great scholar, the court should at least go through the procedures, retain him once, let Fang Xiaoru resign again, retain him again, resign again, and approve it the third time. But this time, the cabinet and Zhu Yunwen were very straightforward, and the procedures were very strict. I didn’t leave, I approved it directly.
Fang Xiaoru's departure marked Zhu Yunwen's formal move against conservative Confucianism, conservative Confucianism, and externally tolerant Confucianism.
Under the leadership of Zhu Yunwen, Yang Shiqi, Li Zhigang, etc., Imperial Confucianism had to adapt to this change, find theoretical basis from various classics, supplement content such as pioneering, enterprising, great achievements, etc., and extend the idea of ruling a country to bring peace to the world. The country will be invincible, the world will be peaceful, and the world will be peaceful.
The transformation of thinking is slow, but it has begun.
The Confucian scholars and officials who could not clearly see the situation were willing to shrink their heads, and under the banner of serving the people and the national flag, opposed the imperial court's crackdown on pirates and declared war on the Japanese country. They did not need Zhu Yunwen to clean them up, and the officials took action first.
After several years of precipitation and observation, Jian Yi, the Minister of Civil Affairs, finally understood Zhu Yunwen's political ideas and policies, and began to burst out his own wisdom.
Jian Yi changed his past peaceful attitude and took drastic measures. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Quancha, he launched an impeachment campaign against those officials who only pursued personal interests and did not dare to speak out and did nothing.
Jian Yi struck down with an axe, and in just a few days, the number of people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate dropped sharply by more than 30 people. This made Dai Deyi, the censor of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, blush, but he couldn't get hold of the officials, so he had to Be ruthless, you are capable, our procuratorate is not a vegetarian, if you want to rectify it, then let's do a big rectification.
Quancha should have been tepid at the beginning, but unexpectedly, the Quancha in the sixth year of Jianwen's reign was like adding fuel to a raging fire, burning fiercely.
This fire quickly spread from the capital to the local areas, and the official atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty changed. In addition, this year is the year of the top ten prefectures, the top one hundred counties, and the year of the great pilgrimage. Several assessments are superimposed, and corrupt officials The officials were even more frightened. Today they have to face the censor, tomorrow they have to face officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs, the day after tomorrow they have to be interrogated by the Security Bureau, and the day after tomorrow they have to report to the Chief Envoy...
The beginning of the full inspection distracted the attention of the officials. Few officials would feel sorry for the Japanese country or talk about kindness and fraternity. The most important thing now was the official hat on their heads.
Hundreds of chamberlains carried boxes one by one into Kunning Palace. Ma Enhui frowned slightly as she looked at the gifts filling the courtyard.
The acting princess Xu Miaoqing saluted Ma Enhui: "The acting king said that the court will fight pirates and Japanese countries. I dare not discuss state affairs arbitrarily. I just remembered that the court issued bonds some time ago, and now they are launching a naval expedition. I think it is quite stressful. , I happened to still have some money at home, so I sent some to the palace, hoping that I could contribute to the clan and eradicate the pirates and Japanese pirates, so that the people can live a stable life..."
