Chapter 715: Heaven and Earth are always unfair
The afterglow of the setting sun reflected into Wenhua Hall. Under the dim sunlight, Zhu You corrected his desk to practice calligraphy, and heard footsteps outside the door stop gently.
After a moment, he said lightly:
"Come in."
"Your Majesty, I have important matters to report..."
Wen Tiren came to Wenhua Hall on tiptoe. Seeing that Emperor Tianqi was still practicing calligraphy on his own, he continued:
"I think the matter in Suzhou must not be facilitated overnight. The Yan family is only one of them, and the other two big families in Suzhou are involved."
"If you want to deal with the emperor's emperor's imperial edict yesterday and make great moves, you will be able to lead tens of thousands of people. This will be unfavorable to your Majesty's wise voice."
Zhu Youxiao glanced lightly, paused in his hand, and then continued to write intently:
"So according to Master Wen's words, should I be lenient in the process of giving up?"
Wen Tiren thought for a while and said:
"It is not necessary to be a lighter person. This matter was caused by the Dongchang arrest of Zhou Shunchang. The people who caused trouble were probably the leaders of some dissatisfied scholars after the imperial court reformed the provincial admission system."
"Your Majesty can pardon those blinded people, and only punish Yan, Zhao and Li families to watch behind the scenes, punish officials to calm the hearts of the people."
Zhu Youxiao didn't say anything for a long time. After counting breaths, he wrote the words in his hand, smiled and waved to Wen Tiren to come over and said:
"Gei Wen said, how is my word written?"
"Weifu moved downward, and it was tame to chaos..."
Wen Tiren took a few steps forward, and when he saw these eight words, he was shocked, his face moved slightly, and he smiled:
"The word Your Majesty is quite characteristic of "Yan Qinli Monument". It has plump muscles, thick and powerful, magnificent and majestic!"
Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly, threw down his brush, and said calmly:
"People often say that Yan Jin and Liu Gu are the masters of calligraphy. I feel ashamed of the master of the Ge praises this."
As the words fell, the Wenhua Palace fell into a brief silence.
Wen Tiren naturally understood the meaning of the word "Emperor of the Age" to convey.
"Would Master Wen know where these words come from?"
After all, Wen Tiren was also a major official in the cabinet step by step. He was a Jinshi, so he naturally read these scriptures.
The eight words "The power and blessings move downward, and the tame are as strong as chaos" are not out of their own nature, but are one of the thirty-two great edicts written by Zhu Yuanzhang.
"This eight characters are derived from Article 32 of the Great Edict of Emperor Taizu. 'The power and blessings move downward, and the tame will be done in chaos... and in troubled times, we should use the important dictum..."
Zhu Youxiao heard this and laughed:
"This great edict is still standing in the palace, and all the civil and military officials in the court read and recite it as well as the gentlemen. But how many people in the world really care about it?"
As he said that, Zhu Youxiao turned around with his hands behind his back, leaving behind a figure.
"I have decided on this matter. The elders of the cabinet don't need to persuade them anymore. Go back and let those ministers who are still thinking of persuasion and give up their hearts as soon as possible."
"Emperor Taizu started in the last few days. When encountering troubled times, human life is like grass. It is often said that heavy sanctions should be used in troubled times, and I also agree with it."
"This civil rebellion was investigated afterwards. Although Suzhou may be bloody, the seven provinces in the south of the Yangtze River will be peaceful."
"Does the elder understand my thoughts?"
As he said that, Zhu Youxiao looked slightly and glanced at him sideways.
Wen Tiren quickly lowered his eyes, not daring to look at the emperor, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty is very...
"I am confused and indecisive."
"But what the Master said is not completely unreasonable. Let's tell Fu Yingxing, Yan, Zhao, and Li families, and the officials on the list, the scholars will be arrested."
"The people who are deceived and bewitched are also miserable people. Please do not involve too much in those who have homes and rooms."
Wen Tiren then felt relieved and bowed:
"Your Majesty is kind, and the people of the world will be grateful to You and praise God's kindness!"
"Okay, you go down." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, and when Wen Tiren left, he said to Wang Chaofu who was serving him:
"I copied this copybook a hundred times and sent it to everyone in the court, saying that I asked them to read it carefully."
"The world is always unfair. It's damn, it's not damn. Day and night, there are so many people who die, how can I take care of it..."
"What can you do when you are afraid of your head and tail?"
After talking to himself, Zhu Youxiao laughed mockingly and turned around and said:
"Shijia, Kunning Palace."
......
On the third day of the Suzhou incident, it was completely clear.
At least, the news released by the government is about these, and there are any other inside stories in the secret, which is not something that ordinary scholars can know.
Early in the morning of the third day when Huang Degong pacified the civil rebellion, the Suzhou Government Office released notices throughout the city.
This notice marked the end of the chaos in Suzhou.
After hearing that the officers and soldiers had regained control of Suzhou City, chaos was announced, and many people hiding outside the city came back one after another.
In order to expose the transactions between the Donglin scholars and the chaebols to the public's view, not only the government notices, but also the Beijing News also published the matter in detail.
According to the notice, the civil war in Suzhou was not simply caused by scholars’ grievances. The truth of the matter announced by the government made many people feel cold on their backs.
The so-called honest official loved by the people of Suzhou, Kou Shen, was found in the mansion of Dongchang in the mansion of nearly 300,000 taels of cash.
In addition, there are many gardens and houses under Kou Shen's name in Suzhou, Hangzhou and the suburbs of Nanjing.
This honest official was not as "clear" as the people thought.
Regarding this matter, the current emperor's attitude is as tough as ever. He arbitrarily investigated Huang Degong, the governor of the Yan family's Jiangnan camp, and was praised instead.
Emperor Tianqi's actions in the court, to some extent, stabilized the local situation in Suzhou, making the Dongchang dare to let go of liquidation.
After three days of turmoil, the factory servants who were supposed to be arresting Zhou Shunchang once again knocked on the gate of Zhou's mansion.
Fu Yingxing came in person. Until now, he is still grateful that the supervisory department was not able to be defeated by the rioters the day before yesterday.
No matter what situation the East Factory is in, one thing is that the basic reason why the factory servants can feel at ease is the current emperor.
Emperor Tianqi's thoughts have never changed.
The emperor's trust is better than the thousands of words that are slandered by the public.
This also makes people say that they are "bad and famous" Dongchang Factory servants are even more determined that they are doing the right thing.
“Tu tu tu…”
Fu Yingxing clenched into a fist and knocked on the door again. Just as he was about to order to smash the door impatiently, he realized that the door had slowly opened.
So Fu Yingxing raised one hand and was ready to deal with the dying counterattack of the people in Zhou's mansion at any time.
However, an unexpected scene appeared. Zhou Shunchang tied himself in front of the door and stepped out of the door. In the eyes of the onlookers, he said with a strong heart:
"You are obeying the command of the eunuch in the East Factory, arrest me and kill me. I, Zhou Shunchang, will obey you. Don't disturb the people anymore!"
