After hearing Zhu Jinsong say that he planned to fight with those people personally, the faces of Zeng Cheng and other big guys darkened.

To be fair, Zeng Cheng felt that instead of waiting for His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty to do it himself, it would be more satisfying for those people to commit suicide now.

After all, we are not afraid of the emperor being a hooligan, nor are we afraid of the emperor being educated.

A rogue emperor like Liu Xiaosan is not terrible. No matter how much this guy hates Confucianism, after all, there is still a Shusun Tong who can work his way up to a high position step by step.

A literary emperor like Empress Li of the Southern Tang Dynasty is not to be feared. After all, it is easy to fool such a person as long as he finds out his preferences.

Even if you meet an emperor like Zhu Yuanzhang who likes to use a knife to kill people, it's okay. Although Lao Zhu likes to use a knife to solve problems when he can't talk to others, Lao Zhu still abides by the rules of the game after all.

Even if he met those from the Aixinjueluo family, Zeng Cheng didn't think there was any problem. After all, the slave chiefs of that family all had a slave-owner mentality. As long as they did what they wanted, they could still get along. .

What I'm afraid of is that an emperor who has the ability to act like a hooligan is also very cultured and can even use his culture to play with the rules.

Coincidentally, the Ming Emperor who is currently sitting on the Dragon Throne happens to be a non-mainstream emperor who is capable of acting like a gangster and is very cultured. He also likes to challenge traditional rules.

Emperors of previous dynasties tacitly abided by the unspoken rules such as "cannot punish officials," "share the world with scholar-officials," or "do not express opinions easily during court meetings," and "the way of civil and military affairs lies in balance or using civility to control military affairs." , in this man’s eyes, that is simply a joke.

Can’t you punish a doctor?

If the second official, the first official, or even the current lord is found to be involved in corruption or harming the people, he will definitely be killed at any time, and a major case involving tens of thousands of people will be uncovered at any time. There is no ambiguity at all.

Share the world with scholar-bureaucrats?

From the day he launched his rebellion, his line has been decided to share the world with the common people, rather than with the scholar-bureaucrats.

Don’t you express your opinions easily during court meetings?

The majestic Emperor of the Ming Dynasty would scold the people like a shrew whenever something unpleasant happened during a court meeting. Who dares to believe that this is the Mingjun Holy Lord who in folklore is more successful than the Three Emperors and is worthy of the Five Emperors?

As for the saying that the way of civil and military affairs lies in balance or that civility controls martial arts, it is nothing in this man's eyes.

This man does not need to use civility to control martial arts, nor does he need to play with the balance of civil and military forces.

Because all the armies of the Ming Dynasty were built by this man. In other words, the military soul of the Ming Dynasty army was injected by this man. As long as this man is still breathing, the army of the Ming Dynasty will not appear. What problem.

Not to mention that the current court structure of the Ming Dynasty is different from that of all dynasties in history. Although the names of many yamen have not changed, the responsibilities and actions of each yamen have changed.

For example, the Dali Temple, Yushitai and Duchayuan, Jinyiwei, and Dongchang were separated. These yamen were staring at all the civil and military officials in the world. Even with Zeng Cheng's position as the chief and assistant minister of the cabinet, he still had no way to report to them. These yamen reached out.

To sum up, this man can be reasonable when he wants to be reasonable, and he can be a hooligan when he wants to be.

When he thought of those unlucky people who only dared to post some articles secretly and unknowingly offended such a man, Zeng Cheng couldn't help but feel a little sorry for these unlucky people.

It's just that I feel distressed. To express sympathy is absolutely impossible.

Because the nonsense articles published by these people have affected Zheng Cheng, the official destiny of the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty.

After thinking about it secretly, Zeng Cheng simply handed over his hand and said: "Your Majesty, I think that if I just publish some articles and confront these people in the newspaper, I am afraid that I will not be able to scare some young people."

Zhu Jinsong hummed, looked at Zeng Cheng and asked, "What about Zeng Qing's wishes?"

Zeng Cheng said: "I heard that if you want to kill a snake, you have to hit it seven inches. Injuring ten of its fingers is worse than cutting off one of its fingers."

"Since these young people are whitewashing the slaves and chiefs like Qian Deafangou in the newspaper, then we don't need to be polite to them. We might as well refute them with articles and list them all in the Second Minister's Record.

A monument should be erected in his hometown to let his fellow villagers know what these little boys are."

"In addition, I believe that those who are already officials can be dismissed from their official positions, and they will never be used within the three generations and nine tribes. Those who are engaged in business can also let the government-run workshops in various places cut off their trade routes."

"If you make a living by farming..."

Having said this, Zeng Cheng turned his attention to Zhu Sanshun again: "Isn't His Highness the King of Qin going to go to the sea to expand the territory of New Qinzhou? I thought that I could just move all these bastards who are interested in Jianyi there."

Zhu Sanshun suddenly said anxiously: "Are you kidding? You put such a thing under my hands?"

"Well, if these people get involved with the barbarians in New Qinzhou, it will be easy for me to kill them all, but won't my speed of expanding the territory also be slowed down by this?"

Zeng Cheng shook his head and said: "Your Highness, of course I know that these young men are not good things, and I also know that it is not a good thing that they went to New Qinzhou, but isn't there nothing we can do about it?"

Zhu Sanshun said with a dark face: "Why is there no way? With so much land in the Ming Dynasty, can't it hold so many rubbish? Let them follow me to open up new lands. Do you think they can work hard or fight with their lives?

?”

Zeng Cheng chuckled and did not answer Zhu Sanshun's question directly. However, Ke Zhiming glanced at Zhu Jinsong and said: "Your Highness, I think what Mr. Zeng Ge said is very true. These people staying in the Ming Dynasty are also a disaster, so it is better to

Let them follow your highness to New Qinzhou and let them see how difficult it is to open up a new land. Maybe these people will change their original minds?"

Zhu Sanshun still shook his head and said: "As the saying goes, a country is easy to change, but a character is hard to change. These greedy people can't change in the Ming Dynasty. How can they change if they follow me to New Qinzhou?"

Ke Zhiming laughed and simply made the topic clear: "Your Highness, you don't know. The sea is very windy and the waves are high. Maybe a ship will sink by chance?"

After hearing what Ke Zhiming said, Zhu Sanshun finally came to his senses.

Nothing wrong with it at all.

As long as these people still refuse to repent, then let these people follow you to open up new territories in New Qinzhou. However, the sea is very windy and the waves are high. If a ship happens to sink, and these people happen to be in

On that ship...

After Zhu Sanshun bowed his hands and agreed, Zhu Jinsong knocked on the table with his fingers and said: "Let's settle it for the time being. I am not a cruel and violent emperor who likes to kill. I still have to give these people the opportunities they deserve."

Zeng Cheng wondered if you could pull him down. If you say that Qin Shihuang, Yang Er, and even Emperor Hongwu are not easy to kill, then it is possible. But you are not easy to kill...

Those corpses in the capital may be the first to object!

…

The land south of the Yangtze River could actually be considered a barbaric land before the Tang Dynasty. It was not until the Tang Dynasty began to vigorously develop the south of the Yangtze River that the south of the Yangtze River had a somewhat civilized atmosphere. When it really developed, it was even more important in the late Northern Song Dynasty.

What happened afterwards.

It's just that I shouldn't. Since the end of the Song Dynasty, the literary style in the south of the Yangtze River has been at its peak. By the 30th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, there were even 52 scholars in one subject, 51 of whom were southern scholars. Only

The situation of a northern scholar made the northern scholars who were not listed on the list very angry. They jointly went to the Ministry of Rites to complain, saying that Liu Sanwu, as the examiner, favored southerners.

According to historical records, after this incident happened, Lao Zhu first asked twelve people including Zhang Xin, the attendant, to re-mark the examination papers. In order to increase the admission rate of northerners, Zhu Yuanzhang even specially gave each re-examination official in the failed examination paper

Ten copies will be drawn for review by the re-examination official.

However, it is a pity that the answer sheets of northern scholars are illiterate and contain many forbidden remarks. The North-South List case is actually more like a farce.

As for Lao Zhu creating Beibang for the sake of balance and killing Liu Sanwu out of public grievance, this is a tacit and unspoken thing in the official circles.

Yes, the reason why Lao Zhu killed Liu Sanwu was not because Liu Sanwu was involved in the imperial examination fraud case.

In fact, Lao Zhu also knew very well that Liu Sanwu, who was already 85 years old at the time, was unlikely to be involved in imperial examination fraud.

The real cause of Liu Sanwu's death was that after the death of Prince Yiwen, Lao Zhu once asked Liu Sanwu: "If King Yan likes me, can I be the prince?"

Liu Sanwu said that it was you who set the rules for establishing heirs and elders. If you established King Yan, what would you make the other kings think? What would you make the dead Prince Yiwen think? Prince Yiwen had a son.

of!

Then, Liu Sanwu was resented by Lao Zhu. When Lao Zhu asked this question, Liu Sanwu should follow Lao Zhu's wishes and say that he should establish virtue, that is, make King Yan the crown prince.

After all, Lao Zhu is not stupid. He knows that Zhu Yunwen is ineffective and cannot rule the world. But as Liu Sanwu said, Lao Zhu himself set the rules for establishing heirs and elders. If he wants to change it, he must have a reliable person.

The boss stood up and said that he could not stick to the rules.

Liu Sanwu, who had a good reputation, had an excellent official reputation, and had an excellent literary voice, and because he was old enough, could be regarded as highly respected, Liu Sanwu naturally became the best candidate.

It's a pity that Liu Sanwu didn't understand what Lao Zhu meant, but insisted on establishing a direct descendant. How can this not be resented by Lao Zhu?

The consequences of being resented by Lao Zhu were terrible. Liu Sanwu's most important thing in his life was his reputation, and Lao Zhu happened to solve Liu Sanwu's case with the imperial examination fraud case, which completely destroyed Liu Sanwu's reputation.

To kill someone, you have to kill your heart.

It is not only Lao Zhu, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who is good at killing people and punishing the heart. The Emperor Zhu of the Ming Dynasty who is now sitting on the dragon throne is also good at killing people and punishing the heart.

There is also Zeng Cheng, the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty. He seems to be very good at this trick.

Emperor Zhu first asked someone to publish an article in the "Da Ming Newspaper" to refute the articles that summoned the souls of Qian Deaf Old Dog and his family. Then he said that Jianyi entered the customs to control the master with slaves. These articles were for Qian Deaf Old Dog.

The literati who call for souls in their families are just trying to be slaves, but they are unavailable. They are simply sick.

That's right, you just use the vernacular language of "simply sick" to curse people, and you curse them openly in newspapers.

What people in different positions say and do have completely different effects.

It is normal for an ordinary person to curse in vernacular, but it is extremely unusual for an emperor to curse in vernacular. Although the emperors of the Ming Dynasty all inherited Lao Zhu's preference for using vernacular, except for Lao Zhu and Zhu Laosi, all the emperors of the Ming Dynasty

Really no one in the emperor has ever scolded anyone in plain language.

Zhu Jinsong and Emperor Zhu's behavior of swearing in vernacular directly attracted a large number of die-hard fans among the people. Or it can be said that the 40 million die-hard fans of Emperor Zhu and his old man don't care at all about Emperor Zhu's use of vernacular.

The behavior of cursing people makes them more curious about the matter itself.

What kind of person was he and what kind of words did he say to make the usually good-tempered Emperor Ming become so angry?

Out of curiosity, the people naturally went to look for the tabloids and pamphlets that purported to summon the ghosts of Qian Deafangou and his family.

Then, people all over the world became angry.

If these tabloids and pamphlets that solicited the souls of Qian Deaf Old Dog and his family were released decades later, for example, after Zhu Jinsong died, or Zhu Jinsong did not pay attention to Qian Deaf Old Dog, his family and those who suggested it.

If the barbarians and the Ahabs are going through liquidation, then these lace tabloids and pamphlets may still have some effect.

The question is, how many years has it been since the fall of the Qing Dynasty? How many years has it been since the money-deaf old dog became cold?

At this time, the people of the Ming Dynasty still remember how the deaf old dog went to the south of the Yangtze River more than ten years ago! They also remember how those mite uncles harmed the people back then!

Therefore, the people of the Ming Dynasty could accept someone scolding the emperors of the Ming Dynasty. They even liked hearing people scold the emperors. After all, it was considered fun.

However, the people of the Ming Dynasty could not accept someone summoning the souls of Qian Deafangou's family, let alone someone slandering Zhu Jinsong, who drove away Jianyi and rebuilt the Ming Dynasty, allocating land to the people so that they could have enough food and clothing.

The Emperor of Ming Dynasty is warm and well-read!

At this time, it became clear how bad a scholar like Zeng Cheng was.

In the past, or before the Chongzhen year, most of the literati's struggles would have remained on paper or in officialdom. Even if the common people knew the truth of the matter, they would probably have nowhere to vent their anger.

But it was different when it came to Zeng Cheng. After careful discussion with the officials from the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Mr. Zeng Ge decided to disclose all the information about those who wrote articles about spiritualism.
