Regarding the definition of the court and the government, this is a big problem that almost all dynasties will suffer.

It is said that the emperor is the emperor, but no one has seen God. It is said that all officials are the emperors and herders, but many officials only think about how to make money in their pockets, but they are not concerned about the lives and death of the people.

The fundamental reason is mainly because there is a problem in the definition of the court and the government. They all put the court and the government above the people, believing that people are divided into three or six, and the emperor is the highest nine supreme, prince, and prince.

The princes second only to the emperor. All officials are responsible for managing the world for the emperor and the princes. As for the people, they belong to the flock of sheep to be "herded".

This problem also exists on Europa. Although there is no saying that officials have served as the king and herder, those priests all call themselves shepherds.

Zhu Jinsong bent his fingers and knocked on the table and said, "It is not wrong to put the imperial court and government above the people and manage the people. After all, the people are easily entangled and will cause some chaos if they are not careful."

"If you don't talk about the previous Bagua Sect, the White Lotus Sect, etc., it's just the armed battle between the two small villages of Xingping Village and Xing'an Village that I encountered before. If there was no army to suppress it, I'm afraid they would have done it.

A big mess.”

Hearing the names of Xingping Village and Xing'an Village, Zeng Cheng and other elders couldn't help but look a little strange on their faces, but who would have thought that the two could not find any shadows on the national map of the Ming Dynasty, and even

The two small villages that can only be found through the map of the Jiangxi Provincial Administration and the two small villages that can only be found through the map of Ganzhou City can actually cause such a big deal?

Hundreds and thousands of young men, more than a dozen cannons, hundreds of flintlock rifles, thousands of rounds of ammunition, hundreds of grenades, all the strategies and tactics were created, plus temporary battlefield command and veterinarian

The wartime hospital acted as a logistics team composed of all old ladies and children...

Zeng Cheng felt that just two of the miscellaneous cards that were temporarily pieced together, letting them fight against the soldiers of the garrison was purely seeking death, but letting them fight with the little guy Napoleon, whoever wins and loses.

Maybe it's really hard to say.

But Zeng Cheng felt something was wrong.

If you follow what Your Majesty said now, do you still need to consider the definition of the court and the government? It must be to manage the people, otherwise the people will have trouble, and the government and the government will come out to clean up the mess in the end?

However, just as Zeng Cheng and the elders were confused, Zhu Jinsong whispered a few more instructions to Zhang Dequan, and then slowly knocked on the table.

Zhang Dequan also returned quickly, but when he came back, he had a few more newspapers in his hand.

Zhu Jinsong took the newspaper from Zhang Dequan, took a few glances and threw it on the table, signaling Zeng Cheng and the others to take it over and take it over.

Zeng Cheng and the elders were a little confused.

As the elders of the Ming Dynasty court, reading the Ming newspaper every day has almost become their instinct, even if there are many policies on it, they are from the hands of the cabinet or the six ministries. This part of the policy-related content is for Zeng Cheng and others.

The big brothers are useless. The so-called latest news on other pages is a little behind the news sent by the Jinyiwei and the Censorate.

but!

What if Zhu Jinsong, the Ming emperor, published any new articles in the newspaper?

If everyone else in the Ming Dynasty knew about the new article, but the old men in the court still had no idea what to do, wouldn’t it be a joke?

Therefore, Zeng Cheng and the elders were confused and they were just watching things every day, but now they brought them to watch them?

However, this idea disappeared without a trace after Zeng Cheng picked up the newspaper on the table.

The newspaper on the table was not the "Da Ming newspaper" at all, nor the "A certain newspaper" published by the Ministry of Rites approved by the etiquette agency under each ruling department, but the tabloids that came from without knowing where they came from.

Then the question is.

How did these newspapers come out?

Who approved it?

How many more were sold?

More importantly, since Zhu Jinsong, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, could have someone specially sorted out these newspapers, the contents here...

After Zeng Cheng took a few glances, he couldn't help but look at Liu Huaiwen and other big brothers with a gloomy face.

These newspapers that came out from somewhere actually questioned whether Zhu Jinsong, the Ming Emperor, was a descendant of Emperor Chongzhen. The basis is that Zhu San's Prince of the Qing Dynasty, has become cold. You, Mr. Zhu.

Where did it come out? If you rebel, you will rebel openly. What are you doing under the name of Emperor Chongzhen?

What's even more annoying is that these tabloids even opened films with each other. After some tabloids questioned whether Zhu Jinsong was Emperor Chongzhen, some tabloids took out the number of Jingguan Zhu Jinsong built and involved many big things.

Zuo Zheng Zhu Jinsong must be a descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang. After all, it will be a big deal of tens of thousands of people. In addition to Zhu Jinsong, it is also Zhu Yuanzhang. Such a similar style is a bit unreasonable to say that they are not a family.

So Zhu Jinsong was also confused.

Wherever you follow this horse?

When I rebelled, you didn't jump out to question it. Even the Qing group led by Qian De Laogou did not jump out to question whether I was the descendant of Emperor Chongzhen. Now you are the city foxes and the club rats that appear in some unknown place are

Want to question me?

The key is that you don’t doubt the unfamiliar life story of Qian Dian Lao Gou. How much money has he harmed in Jiangnan six times? How many people have he harmed? You still don’t doubt it. You actually question me?

Of course, if you just question Zhu Jinsong's life experience, it would be no big deal. Anyway, this kind of mess has never stopped in the Ming Dynasty. For example, Zhu Laosi was obviously the biological birth of Empress Ma, so some people still doubt Zhu Laosi.

Si’s life experience? Like Zhu Laosi, who obviously did not kill Fang Xiaoru, those who were not written in unofficial history are still written with noses and eyes?

In the end, the Ming Dynasty courts of all dynasties did not care about messy things at all. People would let them write them if they were willing to write them. If they were willing to pass on them, they would let them pass on them. Anyway, unofficial history would not affect the official history. Those who truly understand it know how to read the "Real Records"

Not so-called unofficial history.

Zhu Jinsong has the same attitude towards this. He will not lose two pieces of meat anyway. It is also good for ordinary people to have a topic of conversation after dinner. It is much better than letting them have nothing to do and have a fight.

but!

Most of these newspapers missed the cultural governance of the Song Dynasty, and believed that the period of Dashuo was indeed extremely prosperous, with business development, people living in peace, and the conditions for governance were the most relaxed. Anyway, they were all the benefits they looked like, and then the Ming Dynasty was filled with each other.

Various rules are listed to prove that the clear and clear way is not as good as the gift. Everything inside and outside implies that the Ming Dynasty was too strict in the control of business and businessmen.

This is what Zhu Jinsong cannot bear most to accept. To say that the great literary governance of the Song Dynasty was extremely prosperous, Zhu Jinsong had nothing to doubt. After all, Tang poetry, Song lyrics, Yuan songs, Ming novels, people in the Song Dynasty occupied a lyric and said it

It is not an exaggeration to be civilized.

When it comes to business development during the big gift period, Zhu Jinsong really cannot refute it. After all, big gifts have always been a tax-free system for small courts, and the status of merchants is indeed a high-ranking group.

But if the people live in peace... Isn't it a big deal to trample on horseback? If the people who are sent to the world really live in peace, will they still rebel for three hundred years? And will they also create a huge army that cannot fight at all?

There is also the so-called government conditions that are the most relaxed... Zhu Jinsong even doubted whether they had welded Su Dongpo's coffin board to death first.

Besides, why did the Ming Dynasty strictly control business and businessmen? Anyone with a brain should know how the eight locust merchants joined forces to sell the Ming Dynasty?

If the Eight Locust Merchants and Yuan Dadu had not been transfusing blood to Jianyi, how many rounds could Jianyi survive under the Ming Dynasty's military strike?

Although Chenghua Liting in the third year of Chenghua failed to completely clear Jianyi, the Ming army was actually on a downward trend at that time, and the phenomenon of nobles enslaved soldiers in the Beijing camp had begun to emerge.

Jianyi was able to plow it again, but the battalions, whose professionalism level was getting higher and higher after Jiajing, were unable to clean up Jianyi. What happened here...

What's more, even without the devastating incidents of the Chongzhen Dynasty, Zhu Jinsong never intended to relax the control of business and businessmen.

Didn’t that person say that as long as there is a profit of 300%...

Thinking of this, Zhu Jinsong said with a gloomy face again: "Dequan, tell me about the situation of these newspapers."

Zhang Dequan immediately bowed and replied, and then said to Zeng Cheng and others: "These newspapers mostly come from the south of the Yangtze River, mainly in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, especially in Songjiang Prefecture."

"After the investigation of the Dongchang, the court did not approve the issuance of these newspapers, and these newspapers were not reported by the court at all, but were approved by the local officials of the ritual department themselves."

Hearing this, Zeng Cheng couldn't help but interrupt Zhang Dequan: "Eunuch Zhang, Zeng remembers that Daming Lu did not allow Li Ke to approve the opening of a newspaper?"

Zhang Dequan laughed and said, "Zengge Lao is very good at memorizing. Our "Da Ming Law" does not approve the right to open a newspaper. According to the provisions of the "Da Ming Law", if you want to open a newspaper, you can only pass the etiquette from all over the country.

The department will report it at all levels and will only be approved by the Ministry of Rites.”

Zeng Cheng immediately turned his attention to Meng Fanzhi, the leader of the Ministry of Rites, and frowned and said, "Does Mengbutang know about the existence of these newspapers?"

Meng Fanzhi was shocked, stood up directly from the chair, and bowed to Zhu Jinsong and said, "I am guilty!"

Zhu Jinsong snorted coldly, waved his hand to signal Meng Fanzhi to sit down before speaking: "The Censorate will naturally look for you about your affairs, and what you want to say now has nothing to do with this."

After Meng Fanzhi sat down with trepidation, Zhu Jinsong signaled Zhang Dequan to continue talking.

Zhang Dequan said: "These newspapers are not published in the name of newspapers, but are published in the name of poetry or collections. Generally, local rituals do have the power to approve them."

Seeing Zeng Cheng and other elders' faces getting darker and darker, Zhu Jinsong sneered and said, "See? No matter how well your court manages, can you control everyone?"

"It just so happens that I want to see how far the Censorate and the Censorate Office can do the matter after the split is split. Today, this matter is out of my mouth, and I will join you.

If any rumor spreads…”

If we go further, Zhu Jinsong did not continue to say it, and Zeng Cheng and other elders knew very well that if these things leaked out today, Zhu Jinsong, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, would never mind restraining the imperial power.

It is not impossible to have a fierce battle before, and then another big battle that may involve tens of thousands of people.

Zhu Jinsong continued: "From these messy things, the idea of ​​the court managing the people cannot be said to be wrong, but this concept is really nothing wrong? Everyone may think about it.

I wonder, who are the people who put forward this concept?"

Zhu Erdan immediately replied: "That must be scholars or officials, and ordinary people will definitely not think so. Anyway, I never thought so before I rebelled with the emperor."

Liu Huaiwen also said, "Er Dan is right. Before we rebel, who did not hate the government? "

Zeng Cheng suddenly twisted his body slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable, he was the prefect of the Qing Dynasty. Zeng Cheng knew nothing about the people's officials.

However, when he was an official of the Qing Dynasty, Zeng Cheng also felt that the people needed to be managed and should be managed with heavy dictates, otherwise the people of the Qing Dynasty would not know what it means to abide by laws and regulations.

However, since he joined Meng Lianggu's great cause of rebellion, Zeng Cheng began to doubt whether his previous thoughts were right. After all, the Meng Lianggu rebellion group that only occupied Yizhou at that time did not use any serious punishments to treat the people, but Yizhou

The people also particularly supported the Menglianggu rebel group, and even left the last grain of grain as military ration and sent the last son to join the army.

From then on, Zeng Cheng felt that it was right to think about the people everywhere. Just as Zhu Jinsong said, those who keep the people in their hearts would lift them high above their heads.

The key is that as the Ming Dynasty slowly unifies the world, all kinds of messy things are constantly impacting Zeng Cheng's concept. It seems that the people still need to manage, otherwise they will always be able to make some new things.

Come on a variety of tricks.

It is precisely these concepts that have impacted Zeng Cheng with great headaches.

Zhu Jinsong continued, "You might as well think about it. Whether it is the Emperor of Ming Dynasty or the Emperor of You, where does the power in your hands come from? It was God who gave me the rights, and then I took this one again.
