Domineering Daming

The three brothers of the Wu family were the most disturbed. They knew that the emperor was going to settle accounts after the fall.

Naturally, most of the people here think so, the emperor wants to make dumplings and kill people!

Holding your breath and concentrating, you don't dare to breathe, in the lobby, you can hear the needle drop!

Zhu Xu put his hands on the table, looked around, smiled, and said: "Everyone don't need to be nervous, just treat it as a chat, I'm not a ghost, I don't know how to eat people, does anyone have anything to say to me?" Did you say that?"

The [-] army, the cavalry, and the muzzles of the black cannons are still in front of them. Even if someone wants to beg for mercy, they can't open their mouths or move their legs.

Everyone bowed their heads one after another, listening respectfully to the hadith.

Zhu Xu picked up the fan on the table, opened it with a click, and nodded slightly: "Well, let me talk about it first, and you can talk about it later... I am not a talkative person, but I am willing to talk to you today. Let’s talk and communicate more.”

Everyone dared not talk to each other, and they all pretended to listen carefully. As for what was in their hearts, only they knew.

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes, and the folding fan in his hand slowed down a bit.

"Emperor Taizu, under the command of heaven, expelled the Tartars and rebuilt China. Although he has gone through hardships and stumbles, he has finally protected my China for more than 200 years. The country is stable and the artifacts are not lost. The ancestors of my Zhu family have made great contributions and virtues. Now, of course, there are quite a few faults, I will not deny it, and everyone knows in their hearts that history books are like knives, no one can deny it, and I will not whitewash..."

Everyone was a little puzzled, and the emperor's words were a bit long.

Zhu Xu didn't care about them, and said self-consciously: "When the Great Ming Law was being revised, I specially asked the cabinet to add a sentence, that is: My Zhu family was ordered by the sky and inherited by the earth! The world is the first, and it is also entrusted by the people of the world to rule, and the management of the world is the last, not from treason and usurpation!"

Zhu Xu spoke sonorously and forcefully, and his voice echoed in the hall.

The faces of the people in the hall remained unchanged, but they were puzzled in their hearts, what did the emperor mean by this?Don't we all know it?

Cao Huachun vaguely understood that this sentence was because of Gu Yanwu's "diary", which contained "doubts" about the imperial power!The emperor's words are a kind of characterization, a kind of confusion, a kind of "thinking forward", preventing certain things!

Zhu Xu is explaining the legitimacy of the Zhu family's regime to ensure that it will not avoid or reduce possible ideological impacts that may arise later. Such words are most suitable in Nanzhili!

He didn't care what these people were thinking, he paused for a moment, and continued: "The people here are not ordinary people, and they know the situation of our Ming Dynasty very well in recent decades. Zhang Taiyue, this man...has ability and means. He has made a lot of achievements in a series of innovations in the early years of Wanli, and we still use them today. It can be said that he has contributed a lot! After his death, he was framed by others. He rehabilitated me, so I won't say much, what I want to say today is that he made a very bad start, that is... factionalism!"

Almost everyone’s faces changed slightly at the same time. The word "party struggle" is now a taboo, not because of the harsh treatment by the court and Zhu Xu, but because the scholars secretly called it the "Donglin tragedy". The terrible shadow left by the powerful cleansing of the Donglin Party.

Because of this incident, Shihlin dared not speak out against Zhu Xu, but he didn't know how many people criticized him secretly. Then the imperial examination.

It can be said that the "Donglin Party" is a heart knot between scholars and Zhu Xu, which lies between the government and the opposition. If it is not resolved, this confrontation will become more and more intense. It is also the ideological shackles of the "New Deal", which must be resolved. open.

Zhu Xu glanced at everyone's expressions, and said calmly: "Zhang Taiyue has made great contributions to the country, but he also has demerits. We must carefully distinguish between merits and demerits. Repelling dissidents, colluding with the inner prison, and even persecuting the young god ancestor, all kinds of behaviors violated the law and etiquette, and the sky is angry, which is why he was liquidated after his death!"

All these people knew that, in fact, some veteran officials in the Wanli period knew that the reason why Emperor Shenzong hated Zhang Juzheng so much was because he had violated the rules as an emperor teacher and was reported by others, which angered Shenzong and ordered a liquidation.

There are also rumors that are not on the table, that is, Zhang Juzheng has an unusual relationship with the Queen Mother and was discovered by Emperor Shenzong.

Of course, this crimson story was only spread by word of mouth, no one dared to mention it.

"Since him."

Zhu Xu's words continued, saying: "There are not many ministers who are not partisan, but there are not many who have Zhang Taiyue's degree. They form a party in secret, blatantly and recklessly, from low-ranking officials to cabinet ministers. From the internal supervisor to the border generals, everyone is full of party members, fighting for power and profit, to the court's discipline, regardless of the family and the country..."

"In order to attack the Shen Party, Li Dang transferred Li Chengliang, Liaodong's commander-in-chief, to replace the Chu Party members. As a result, Jiannu became a big..."

"The Shen party fought back and asked Li Chengliang to serve again. As a result, he cut off and withheld his food and grass, made it difficult for him to move forward in Liaodong, and made Jiannu's tail hard to lose..."

"In the later years of the ancestor of the gods, the 'theory of the foundation of the country' came to an end. Six or seven cliques appeared in the court, vying for power and profit, intrigues, using any means, and the atmosphere was smoky. I don't know how many loyal ministers and good generals left with hatred, determined not to be an official..."

"The most ridiculous thing is that Gu Xiancheng resigned angrily because he hated the party struggle and founded Donglin Academy. As a result, the Donglin Party became the biggest cronies of the Tianqi Dynasty!"

"Good trick, in the third year of the apocalypse, Zhao Nanxing, as the censor of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, took the power of the Beijing Procuratorate, and with the word 'impetuous', over 400 people from the Chu Party, Zhejiang Party, Kun Party, etc. Cleaned out the court hall, which has never happened since the founding of our court..."

"For a while, the people were in full swing, and the world was encouraged. In fact, the Donglin Party was fighting against each other. Zhao Nanxing and Gao Panlong were in the same party, Ye Xianggao and Han Huang were in the same party, Zuo Guangdou, Gu Dazhang and others were in the same party. One party, there are more than a dozen hilltops... Wei Dazhong and Ruan Dacheng competed for the official department, Wei Dazhong was Zhao Nanxing's party, and Zhao Nanxing gave it to Wei Dazhong... This Ruan Dacheng is Yang Lian's fellow villager, Zuo Guang Dou and the others tried their best to take the engineering department from Zhao Nanxing and compensate Ruan Dacheng, but the engineering department was no match for the official department, so Ruan Dacheng was not angry, so he defected to Wei Zhongxian in a fit of anger..."

"Wei Zhongxian is an 'eunuch' in the eyes of the Donglin Party, and he has repeatedly suppressed him. This time he found an opportunity to forcefully take down the official department and gave it to Ruan Dacheng. Naturally, Zhao Nanxing refused to give up. With his prestige and Means, Ruan Dacheng resigned in disgrace after two months in the matter..."

"At the same time, Zhao Nanxing also hated Wei Zhongxian, and wrote to the emperor, demanding that the emperor do everything by himself, and abolished the supervisor of ceremonies to approve red... This angered Wei Zhongxian again, those Chu, Zhejiang, and Kunming parties that Zhao Nanxing drove out of the court They all gathered under Wei Zhongxian's sect...the Eunuch Party, the battle between the Donglin Party began..."

"Donglin Party is very dirty. Wei Zhongxian controlled Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and soon got the evidence to impeach him wantonly. The six ministers who were originally controlled by Donglin Party, the ministers were afraid to resign... Finally, the chief assistant Ye was forced to resign. Xiang Gao and his second assistant Han Huang all begged to return one after another..."

"I grew up in the palace since I was a child, and I have a clear understanding of party disputes, and I hate it! To say that the eunuch party is an 'evil sycophant', and the Donglin party is not much better. disgust!"

"When the emperor was dying, he left a message to me with 'loyalty and conscientiousness, great things can be considered', because he saw through the incompetence and hatred of the Donglin Party, worried that I would be bullied when I was young, and asked me to rely more on Wei Zhongxian..."

"According to the emperor's words, after ascending the throne, I will be trembling like walking on thin ice. On the one hand, our dynasty is already riddled with holes and needs to be rectified, and on the other hand, we must guard against party disputes..."

"Wei Zhongxian is an internal eunuch after all, listen to me, don't quarrel, but the Donglin Party, one by one for the sake of officials, try their best to get back up, from colluding with each other to recommending each other, to framing others to make room, In the end, they actually persecuted me in front of the civil and military officials in the Jinluan Palace, asking me to revive the Donglin Party..."

"I know very well that once the Donglin Party is revived, the government and the public will never have peace, and they will surely fall into party struggle again, dragging the government and Ming Dynasty into a place of eternal doom..."

"I like to talk and talk, and I endured it again and again, and finally I couldn't bear it, so I ordered the Ministry of Penalties to investigate. The result is that this group of people formed a clique for privacy and acted recklessly. Since then, the ruling and opposition parties, including me, have hated the Donglin Party!"

"This is also the reason why the restoration of the society is strictly prohibited. Anyone who wants to revive the Donglin Party and start a party struggle, whether it is the court or the government, will not allow it!"

"Party struggle to bring disaster to the country is an ancient principle, but in my Ming Dynasty, we take it for granted. It is ridiculous, ridiculous!"

"I am here today, in front of all the elders in Nanzhili, and solemnly say it again, no matter if it is the Donglin Party, the Eunuch Party, the Chu Party, or the Kun Party, anyone who has the heart to form a party and fight against each other , Never become an official or interfere in government affairs, otherwise I will never show mercy!"

Cao Wenzhao and others nodded subconsciously. Everyone around Zhu Xu knew that Zhu Xu absolutely did not allow factionalism to exist.

But the others, the three Wu family brothers, Wang Beicheng, Fang Kongshao, Shi Bangyao and others all frowned, feeling extremely uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

The Donglin Party has too much influence, and they are more or less affected, and some of them were even members of the Donglin Party.

The Donglin Party in their hearts are all gentlemen with great minds, bright and upright, and take the world as their own responsibility. They drive out traitors, clean up the court, and their merits are in the country. How can they be "fake gentlemen, real villains" in the emperor's mouth!

But what the emperor said was well-founded, and they knew a lot of things, but they never thought about it. When they got serious about it, the actions of the Donglin Party were indeed... a little unbearable!

Many people felt as if they were stuck in their throats, unable to vomit, yet unable to vomit, feeling uncomfortable in their hearts, and their faces seemed to be constipated, frowning and struggling.

Chapter 693 is finally here

Everyone's expressions changed, and they felt uncomfortable.

At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief. The emperor said so much, which was "explaining" to the world's scholars.

Zhu Xu stared at the group of people. Looking at their expressions, he knew that his words had worked.

He turned his gaze to Fang Kongxuan, and said lightly: "Nan Zhili doesn't know enough about the dangers and nature of 'party struggle'. You, the governor, just took office, and I won't trouble you. If it takes another half a month, there will still be so many people." People are racking their brains to reverse the case of the Donglin Party, so don't blame me for hitting you!"

Fang Kongzheng's complexion changed slightly, he got up quickly, and said: "I am guilty!"

Zhu Xu waved his hand, but this was not enough. What he wanted to talk about was about a series of things since he became the throne, which was the first time to seriously sort out and solve everyone's ideological burden.

"In order to resolve party disputes."

Zhu Xu moved his buttocks and continued: "I had no choice but to suspend the cabinet and concentrate the power in the six ministries. At that time, the Jian slaves were arrogant and encroached on the important town of Liaodong step by step. Without fighting spirit, I retreated after hearing the wind. For the border, I made two-handed preparations. On the one hand, I gathered military power and vigorously reformed the military system. I angered a group of people, but I have no choice but to..."

"But these are not enough. It is still not enough for me to post all the internal funds... The annual salaries of the clan, nobles, etc. accounted for more than half of the imperial court's tax revenue. , Their fiefdom is [-] hectares, and the rest costs millions of taels of silver, and the annual treasury tax revenue is not enough... I have no choice but to change the ancestral system!"
