[Comprehensive History] Clothes are all over the world

Not only do officials suffer when compiling books, but they have to go to the people to collect books, search for treasuries and treasures, and have to transcribe and send them to Beijing. This is also a performance pressure for local officials, and this matter is so disturbing to the people, and it does not conform to my core values ​​of Ming Dynasty!

This is the biggest wave of opposition that Mu Bai has encountered since he set foot in the court.

The military officer has nothing to do with himself, and the civilian officer cites the scriptures and excerpts with passion, and every word and every sentence is full of flowers, and there is a central idea behind it-Your Majesty, I am so happy!

"Do you think that I want to grasp Wenzhi and martial arts and leave a good name for myself?" The emperor sitting on top of Danbi in front of Fengtian Palace was wearing a leather uniform and a red cloak, and he was in the snow and ice of Yingtian Mansion He was as hot as a raging fire, his brows were furrowed, his eyes were like torches, and every word and every word carried an undeniable deterrent force.

"The Hulu went south for a hundred years, and our Han culture was trampled by it. Not one out of ten survived, and even 100% of them remained full of mistakes and omissions, full of ills. If such books are passed on, the harm will be far greater than these [-] years. .”

"I've thought about it for a long time, and I've wondered for a long time. I've tried three times and four times to persuade you not to be greedy, and tried every means to get you not to be greedy. Persuasion, scolding, punishment, and beheading have not had much effect. My grandson said that this may be a problem in education, and I think it makes sense..."

With a "swipe", dozens of gazes fell on the little emperor's grandson who was wearing a leather uniform, holding a jade kui, and standing on the first step under Majesty Dan.

Mu Bai, whose back was hairy from being watched, was stupefied. He only felt that a big pot fell from the sky when he was at work. This feeling was really amazing.

He slowly raised his head to look at his grandfather and father standing on the stage.However, his two family members aspired to look away from him together. As expected of father and son, the windy appearance, the light eyes, even the angles are the same!

The people of the two old Zhu's family all have calm faces and calm hearts, they can be said to be as immobile as a mountain.

As a crown prince who has been exploited many times by his old father since he was a child, His Royal Highness said that he is used to it, and now he feels that his son must also get used to the inheritance of the old Zhu family.

In modern times, it is necessary to have a person to be a star, and there are actually people who are emperors, and Zhu Yuanzhang's persona is a decisive and straightforward boy.

Before Lao Zhu, almost every emperor wanted to add a bit of magic to his birth. This point has not changed since the fall of the Qin Dynasty, the last blood-born noble, to the Ming Dynasty.

Those emperors either had mothers dreaming about dragons, or had visions when they were born. Anyway, all of them seemed to be born with unique BUFFs.

The emperors of some dynasties obviously used various disgraceful means to snatch the throne, and they also wanted to add a little vision to their own births, and they didn't think about the society at that time, if any noble son really had these things when he was born Yes, how did he grow up safely under the suspicion of the previous emperor.

Later, some emperors may also feel that this routine is a bit fake, so they changed their style and turned to associate with the princes, aristocrats, and writers of the previous dynasty.

When Zhu Yuanzhang first came to the throne, some courtiers asked if they wanted to claim the identity of the descendants of Zhu Xi, the great writer of the Song Dynasty. Anyway, they pulled this kind of banner, and Zhu Xi’s descendants would also follow. There is no need to change the surname, this banner is not for nothing.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Hongwu waved his hand and directly rejected this good suggestion with one vote. What he said back then was even engraved on the inscription for the ministers and heirs of the Ming Dynasty to remember.

"I was originally a commoner in Huaiyou. I was born with mud legs. I let cattle go, begged for food, became a monk, and joined the rebel army. Our ancestors have been farmers for five generations. The reason why we are today is because of the chaos in the world. , boarded the ninety-five statue."

"My birth was written on the proclamation as early as when I went north to seek captives. As soon as the proclamation was issued, there were many people who responded. Are those people here for my background? No, they are for being with me. His ideal is to drive out the barbarians and restore China."

"Blood relationship, identity, ancestral glory, those are the things of people who have already entered the soil. Their eyes are always fixed on the past. Where is the future?"

At that time, the emperor, who was waiting for the roasted chestnuts and talking to his grandchildren about ancient times, let out a cold snort, and sincerely shared his valuable experience that he was almost cheated in the past: "Don't look at those literati who are trying to come up with ideas for us, in fact Everyone has a lot of thoughts, they just want to establish an ancestor for us, and when the time comes, they will find some books written by that old man Zhu Xi, and then use the words of that ancestor to restrict me."

"At that time, no matter how unwilling I am in my heart, I can only hold my nose and follow their wishes because of the ancestor's rules. With the ability of these literati to turn their heads, the book written by that old man can make a dozen or so words. Explanation, maybe it is still contradictory. After several times, is it they who are the emperor or I am the emperor? You have to be vigilant against these civil servants." Talking to the juniors, but keeping their hands, they heard chestnuts in the fire. When there was a crackling sound, Emperor Hongwu immediately picked up the tongs and pulled the roasted chestnuts out of the ashes.

By the way, he passed on a little life experience to his grandchildren: "When you hear the crackling sound, it means that the chestnut shell has exploded. At this time, you must get it out quickly, otherwise the carbon ash will enter the shell, and the chestnut will taste bitter. But don’t take it out right away, you can simmer it for a while, it will be more fragrant.”

The little princes and grandsons who were already drooling after smelling the smell nodded seriously, not knowing whether they were listening to Emperor Hongwu's knowledge of emperors or the experience of roasting chestnuts.

Emperor Hongwu didn't care about the thoughts of the cubs. In his old age, he played more of a kind elder in front of the children, no longer the image of a tiger dad who whipped and beat children at every turn when he was young.

But at this moment, Emperor Hongwu was as fast as lightning, the number one helmsman of Ming Dynasty stretched, stopped, and hugged extremely vigorously, and put the big dog with a dog face that was about to dive into the fire when it smelled the scent of chestnuts. pressed down.Emperor Hongwu, who was not old with a sword, flattened the big white dog and leaned on it, and continued to diss with the emperor's grandsons about the Ming Dynasty's civil servant group and the losses he had suffered from the civil servants.

As an upright emperor and an emperor who fought in the front line of anti-civilian officials, Emperor Hongwu's ruling style can be imagined.

As the saying goes, failed emperors each have their own shortcomings, but successful emperors all have similar advantages. For example, the most common and least demanding emperors are courteous corporals and good at accepting advice.Almost every famous emperor can find a long list of examples of virtuous corporals, and by the way, a few famous admonishers with a long history.

But Emperor Hongwu was different.

As an emperor who came from the bottom of the society, as a Ming emperor who went from one man and one horse to the emperor's robe with thousands of horses, in the whole process of Emperor Hongwu's rise, most of the decisions were made by himself. Yes, the country was also brought down by himself, and he has carried the governance alone for so many years. He is smart enough, sharp enough, sober enough and experienced enough, so he seldom gives the civil servants a chance to persuade them.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's place, no one would dare to tell him, "Rule the world with the scholar-bureaucrats, not with the common people." If someone dares to tell him that, Lao Zhu will definitely lift the table, er, no, it is not enough to lift the table, and he will kick it angrily Two feet means that I want to rule the world with the people.

It is precisely because the rise of Emperor Hongwu has nothing to do with the family, and has little to do with the gentry, that his throne is extraordinarily stable and confident.

Therefore, the existence of civil servants is a real "beating worker" for Emperor Hongwu.

As for what kind of scholar-bureaucrats, so far, all those who have troubled us are scholar-bureaucrats, and those who do not do personnel affairs are also scholar-bureaucrats. You people like to do it, do it well, and if you don’t want to do it well, get out, we will not miss you.

This is the confidence that only Zhu Yuanzhang has.

This country has passed through the joint rule of the world by the king and the princes, the joint rule by the king and the gentry, and the joint rule by the king and the scholar-bureaucrats. It finally became the real rule of the world by Emperor Hongwu.

But Zhu Yuanzhang also knew very well in his heart that the current situation is because he is still there. After three or four generations of the throne, the descendants of the emperor who grew up in the deep palace and did not have much knowledge will sooner or later go back to the old way that the government is controlled by the scholar-bureaucrats.

Therefore, he abolished the prime minister system early on, and ordered all the princes to return to their hometowns to live at the grassroots level for a period of time before they reached adulthood. heart of.

At the same time, for those groups of civil servants, he struck out with a heavy blow, smashing every opportunity they might have to grow stronger, and giving them enough deterrence. Therefore, every time Hongwu Emperor appeared on the stage, it was accompanied by bloody storms and heads falling.

Of course, in the process of achieving this goal, it is inevitable that there will be innocent people involved, such as Song Lian's family.

Song Lian's eldest grandson was involved in the Hu Weiyong case. According to the law, Song Lian's family was implicated.Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to kill this man who had worked hard for the dynasty, but he couldn't change the order overnight and set this precedent without authorization.

So the prince came out.

The benevolent prince pleaded in every possible way and gave enough steps. Emperor Hongwu raised it high and put it down gently.

On the one hand, this action saved many ministers who were affected by disasters, and on the other hand, it also established the prince's benevolent image.

At the same time, the existence of the prince is also the pinnacle of the civil servants. When the civil servants who have been rubbed by Emperor Hongwu look at the prince, they can't help but feel a little hope in their hearts-it will be fine when the prince ascends the throne!

So, under the encouragement of this delicious "carrot", civil servants endured year after year.Especially in these years, Emperor Hongwu gave a lot of power to the prince, and the governance and management of the government were much looser than those in the early years of Hongwu, which gave the courtiers endless hope.

Yes, the prince's father is also a tool man to a certain extent, and now, Mu Xiaobai has also become a tool man.

Who else is more suitable to be brought out to give advice to the officials than the grandson of the emperor, who has amazed everyone when he appeared on the stage, and who has also played a variety of tricks in the process of assisting his father in governing these years?

The father wants to find a reason, so he naturally asks his son to contribute. If the son's personality is not suitable, then the grandson will do it.

I have been a tool man for so long, and now I have a son to share the pressure, His Royal Highness is also very happy ==

After meeting his grandson's accusing eyes, Emperor Hongwu calmly gave his grandson a look of [baby, you have grown up, it's time to face the storm and long-winded] eyes, and then continued: "My grandson walked among the people for a long time. I found that even the theory of sages in the folk theory is full of mistakes and omissions, and the books that scholars hold are all wrong editions. What does this mean? It’s like when the bottom brick is placed crookedly when building a wall. Can this wall still be relied upon? Can the pillars of the official career with these wrong books be able to support this Daming?"

Speaking of this, the old man's voice was a little lower, with a bit of pain: "I can't control how long it all lasted and when it started, but I can decide when it will end. This time I am editing the book, It is not these few words that are cultivated, but our foundation, the hearts of the people of the world, and the next hundred and thousand years!"

"I heard that in previous dynasties, books were hidden in the warehouse after revision. What's the difference between revision and non-revision? I have decided that after the revision is completed, all corrected books will be printed and distributed throughout the world."

"It's just that if you want to distribute all the books to the world, the power of the imperial court will inevitably be insufficient and the severity will vary. This is a pity. Therefore, I decided to call the Tianxia Bookstore and select the best ones to entrust them with important tasks. Part of the task will be entrusted to the people. Let the grandson take care of it."

"Ying'er, you have to choose the best bookstore for me." The grandfather who just threw a pot at his grandson immediately gave out a bunch of candies, Hong Wudi, who is well versed in the psychology of teaching children, rushed to stand in the first place. The eldest grandson in the row winked and his face was full of 【Grandpa gave you the chance to go out to play, thank you grandpa】!

Mu Xiaobai, who felt the eyes behind his back became more fiery, took a deep breath, and after he stabilized his mind, he bowed to his grandfather and accepted this tricky task.

Then, after the dynasty dispersed, the little emperor's grandson was surrounded by his courtiers.

The courtiers who were still strongly opposed to Emperor Hongwu's arrangement of books were successfully diverted. They gathered around the little emperor and grandson and asked curiously if there were any standards for choosing booksellers, and bought books for them passionately and implicitly. The book club cast an internal vote.

Then, this group of cultural people started internal BATTLE and started the internal attack mode.

This one said "Your bookstore has multiple pages", the other said "I bought the wrong characters from the bookstore you recommended", this one said "It's not a decisive issue if you can't cut the pages yourself, it's not a decisive issue", and the other said "You buy hardcover There will be no problem with the original version, why do you buy a cheap version”, so this returns to “the hardcover version is for collection, and the regular version is for learning.

But after a few words, the group of civil servants started arguing among themselves.

Mu Bai took a breath and showed a very decent smile, "Since everyone has different opinions, let's invite bids."

The author has something to say: Emperor Hongwu (throws out a prince bait): I have a bad temper, but my son has a good temper.

Hard-pressed civil servants: Aww! !We can do it again!As long as you live, there is hope!

Emperor Hongwu (throwing out a grandson's bait): My son has a good temper, but my grandson can make trouble.

The young civil and military official who was a little bit happy just now: Aww, we can do this!Anyway, we are young and we can see hope.

Emperor Hongwu, an excellent emperor who relied on selling people to stabilize court officials (not)
