Domineering Daming

Xu Dahua then flattered him: "What the emperor said is that I also think that Zhao Keyou's heart is commendable, and he should be rewarded."

Chen Xinjia didn't speak. He was not good at flattering, but more about doing things.

Li Yizao nodded secretly, the emperor's words were very appropriate, so he glanced at Xu Dahua when he thought about it.

Zhao Keyou was stunned, he designed a useless thing, which not only caused trouble to the governor of Shuntian Prefecture and Minister of the Ministry of Industry, but also alarmed the emperor, shouldn't he be punished?

Zhu Xu looked majestic, and with a posture overlooking the world, he said in a deep voice: "You are all officials of the imperial court. If you want to open the door for patriotic people in the world, you must not ignore it, let alone reject it bluntly... ..."

Xu Dahua, Chen Xinjia, and Li Yizao's faces changed slightly, and they hurriedly said, "Your servant is guilty."

"In my opinion, no matter whether it is a minister of civil and military affairs, a small official, or a so-called scholar, farmer, businessman, or businessman, they are all subjects of my Ming Dynasty. They should all serve the country and contribute. How can there be a difference? To expel the barbarians and rebuild China, all the officials are from commoner background..."

"Today's Ming Dynasty is full of official titles and is ashamed of commoners. This is forgetting our roots! My Ming Dynasty has come down from me, and I should remember the sweetness and bitterness, and not forget the original intention..."

The three of Xu Dahua were very worried when they heard the emperor's "reprimand".

If it was in the Apocalypse Dynasty, if the emperor said so, all the officials could forcefully go back. After all, officials all over the world are proud of "dead remonstrance".

But the three of them all knew that the current emperor could not be slandered casually. With his reputation, ability, and methods, if he really wanted to slander him, his reputation would be ruined if he was not careful, and the history books would be written down!

The three of them listened honestly, they no longer knew what the emperor was saying.

After all, there must be a solid point for these empty words, Zhu Xu made a long speech, picked up his tea and took a light sip after finishing his speech.

The three of them were respectful and did not dare to act presumptuously. They were all racking their brains to think about the meaning of Zhu Xu's words.

Not long after, Zhu Xu put down his teacup, looked at Xu Dahua and said, "Remember what I said just now, write an article and send it to the palace, and find a chance to publish it in the morning newspaper."

Xu Dahua was startled, and said, "Yes." He still didn't understand what Zhu Xu meant.

Zhu Xu looked at Li Yizao again, and said: "The 'craftsmanship department' of the Royal Political Council is still not enough, how about we form a yamen jointly with the Ministry of Industry, and hang it under the cabinet. Anyone who serves the country and the people should be encouraged. We must pay close attention to, encourage, and subsidize our inventions and creations... Also, set up awards and give real money, especially when it is related to the people's food, clothing, housing, and transportation. Anything that is of great use will be rewarded..."

The three of them heaved a sigh of relief when they heard this, and secretly understood, only then did they realize in their hearts that the emperor just said a few words, and he actually put such pressure on them!

Never seen before!

"Set Zhao Keyou as a model and spread it to the world!" Zhu Xu said again.

"Follow the order!" The three of them said in unison.

Zhao Keyou didn't expect things to turn around like this, so he knelt down with a plop, and said loudly, "Your Majesty is holy, long live my emperor!"

This can be regarded as an unexpected move today, Zhu Xu waved his hand and said: "Get up, learn more from now on, make usable things, benefit the world, benefit the court..."

Zhao Keyou agreed again and again, his face was full of excitement, his heart was surging and it was difficult to control.

"Sure enough, the emperor is a wise man. Otherwise, how could we start the prosperity of Jingzheng!" Zhao Keyou's heart was pounding.

Just as Zhu Xu was about to speak again, an inner eunuch rushed in, held up a memorial book and said to Zhu Xu, "Your Majesty, this is sent by Eunuch Liu's servants urgently."

Zhu Xu's expression didn't change, and when he took the memorabilia and flipped through it, he raised his eyebrows.

This is the memorial of Liu Zongzhou. Liu Zongzhou was the head of the Ministry of Industry in the early years of Tianqi. The impeachment of Wei Zhongxian and Hakka angered Emperor Tianqi, and he was dismissed and sent back.In the early years of Chongzhen, someone mentioned that he was appointed as the Governor of Shuntian Prefecture, but he refused to come and concentrated on his studies in the village.This time he came to Beijing not for the purpose of being an official, but for the development of "mind study".

This person was also mentioned to Zhu Xu from time to time, saying that he "understands the facts, restrains himself and restores rituals", and hopes to be recruited for use by the court.

However, the matter was nothing more than that, it wasn't that Zhu Xu didn't issue an edict, but that he had a lot of complaints about the court and refused to accept the order.

Zhu Xu knew this person, so he was prepared, but even so, he was very unhappy and angry.

"Your Majesty is determined to seek governance, but the two emperors and three kings have not had time to pay attention to the way of governing the world, and there are still many who have not grasped the essentials of the order, and the first is to focus on frontier merit..."

"The choice of paying attention to the order, the move of the bow and the bow, the prestige of the cruel officials, the reformation of the new, Fang and the second and third ministers wash their hearts and minds, and unite with each other, and don't care about the difficulty of encountering each other..."

"I have heard of the way of employing soldiers, the benevolence and righteousness of Tang and Wu are the most important, and the temperance of Huan Wen is second, and this is not the case..."

"Today, relying on weapons without waiting for others, the country's prestige will be weakened. Firearms will not be beneficial to success or failure, and the barbarians will eventually lose their education..."

The general idea is: the emperor was determined to innovate, and did not seek the holiness of the sages, but only thought about military exploits.The emperor respected the law and used cruel officials. He didn't know the importance of communicating with his officials, and he didn't care how difficult it was for the officials to see the emperor.The way to use troops, the first is benevolence and righteousness, the second is restraint, and the others are absurd.The current Ming army does not think about strengthening itself, but only relies on weapons. This is the root of the country's weakness. Firearms are not important to the victory or defeat of the battle, and the barbarians cannot use them, etc.

It can be said that every sentence is blaming the emperor and Zhu Xu, and every sentence can be supported by evidence, which seems very reasonable!

If this is made public, with Liu Zongzhou's status as a master of Confucianism, I'm afraid it will cause huge waves and have an immeasurable negative impact on the current political reform conference!

Zhu Xu's face darkened for a while and then returned to calm. Liu Zongzhou's status in the literary world is very high, not comparable to Qian Qianyi's so-called "Leader of Donglin".Qian Qianyi is a genius who writes poems and lyrics, and good articles, but Liu Zongzhou has reached the point of "studying"!

Liu Zongzhou was a great master of Confucianism in history. He was very important to Confucianism. Some people in later generations said that his death marked the fault of Chinese culture, which can be seen from this!

Zhu Xu looked at it for a while, his face darkened.Liu Zongzhou would not suddenly read this memorial for no reason, stood up and said: "Go back to the palace, go and find out who has gotten close to him recently."

"Yes." Cao Huachun agreed.

Seeing that the emperor was about to leave, the three of Xu Dahua hurriedly saluted; "I respectfully send the emperor off."

Zhu Xu dragged Xiao Yongning back to the palace, Cao Huachun found out as soon as he arrived at the gate of the palace.

"Your Majesty, Ruan Dacheng has visited the thatched cottage three times recently." Cao Huachun said behind Zhu Xu when he entered the palace gate.

The corners of Zhu Xu's mouth curled up slightly, but he didn't speak.

Two people who have been dead in history have come together.

"Whose turn is it for the newspaper today?" Zhu Xu asked.

Cao Huachun thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, it should be Qian Qianyi, Minister of Rites."

Zhu Xudao: "It's not enough, but it's just right. Let Yuan Keli write an article on 'If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools' and show it to me, along with Xu Dahua's."

Cao Huachun understood that the emperor was ready to make a move.

Just when Zhu Xu returned to the palace, Ruan Dacheng's playbook finally arrived, and Zhu Xu was very impressed by a sentence in his playbook.

"Practicing false words is firm enough to cause chaos in the world, begging for rewards and punishing others, thinking that it is a precept to confuse the world and slander the people."

This means that Huang Chengyuan is enough to cause trouble in the world, ask for execution, and warn others!

As you can see from the picture, Ruan Dacheng's attack on Huang Chengyuan has reached the point of going into battle shirtless!

Zhu Xu also needed to establish his prestige, to deter the big officials who came to Beijing, and deliberately kept the content of the memorial book, but leaked it.

This caused a wave of disturbance in the capital, and many people who were bewitched by Ruan Dacheng began to impeach Huang Chengyuan.

After all, Ruan Dacheng has no official or position, and the few he can contact are pitiful, they are all old friends, but those Tianqi who has been fantasizing about returning to office in the capital, and some officials from the Wanli period have been mixed in one after another, making the capital more lively.

Chapter 548

The "Huang Chengyuan" incident in the capital was still fermenting, and more and more people were getting involved. Like boiling water, streams of steam began to emerge, tumbling endlessly.
