Now Emperor Zhu suddenly teased people with the phrase "The Golden Age of Kangxi and Qianlong". Although Old Cui and the other farmers couldn't catch the real punchline of "The Golden Age of Chaff Money", they could still hear that Emperor Zhu was saying something sarcastic, so they all started talking. He laughed and joked with Emperor Zhu: "Yes, yes, the Qing Dynasty was a prosperous era, with one famine in three years and one disaster in two years. It was so prosperous!"
"What your Majesty said is actually wrong. After all, there is still a mediocrity in this bran money. It should be that the bran money will still have a mediocrity in it for the rest of its life."
"I heard from my father that during the reign of Emperor Kangxi, people ate very little food and drank little, earned nothing, and had nothing left. Later, when money became deaf, they really became deaf when they had money."
"If the Qing Dynasty is already prosperous, then what kind of life do we live now? Is it just Datong? Doesn't it mean that coal is produced there? Oh, if it means that Datong in the world means that people all over the world can dig coal at will. ?”
"..."
The topic became more and more convoluted. Seeing that it had changed from a prosperous age to casual coal mining, Zeng Cheng couldn't help coughing and said: "Speaking of which, all the sins of the Qing Dynasty have only one reason, and that is that they never regarded them as human beings. They are people just like us."
Cui Old Man and others immediately turned their attention to Zeng Cheng and asked repeatedly: "What do you mean?"
Zeng Cheng coughed again, and it was unclear whether the look on his face was ridicule or shame: "The Qing Dynasty, from the beginning to the end, they never thought about integrating into our Central Plains world. They know that this country was picked up, and they also know that they How unpopular they are, so they have not allowed us Han people to go outside the pass. They say that if they protect the Longxing Land, they are actually leaving a way out for themselves. It is precisely because of this that they are so unscrupulous. He signed all kinds of nonsense treaties with countries such as Shago, Nepal, Kokand, and Myanmar, and wantonly betrayed the Central Plains."
Cui Laohan and other old farmers have never taught books. Even if Emperor Zhu desperately promoted literacy, he would not be able to get a group of elderly people in their decades to re-enter school. Therefore, it is impossible for these old men to have read "Qing Shi Lu". But as the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, Zeng Cheng had read "Qing Shi Lu".
"Records of the Qing Dynasty·Records of the Kangxi Dynasty" records: In October of the twelfth year of Fanxi, Shi Lang, the admiral of the Qing Navy, invited the Dutch invaders who were expelled from Ryukyu by Zheng Chenggong to attack Wuyu Island and Kinmen Island. Fanxi attacked the Dutch sea king ( Commander Porter of the Dutch Navy led the naval division to defeat the Zheng army and gave him a special commendation, and allowed him to continue his tyranny along the coast. In August of the following year, the Dutch navy king led ten warships and thousands of troops, and made an appointment with the Qing army in early October. He went to Penghu to attack the Zheng army and waited for the wind to advance towards Ryukyu. In February of the 18th year of the year, Fanchi also "specially ordered the king of the Netherlands to order twenty plywood boats to carry powerful troops and work together to capture the two islands (Ryukyu and Penghu)."
"Ryukyu Foreign Chronicles" also contains: "King Kui of the Netherlands led the warships as the vanguard, and together with Li led the Tai navy, they fought vigorously and pacified the coastal islands. It was originally agreed that the two divisions would restore Ryukyu on his behalf..."
In fact, even after Shi Lang captured Ryukyu, Nanchi still wanted to transfer the sovereignty of Ryukyu to foreign bandits.
Who wants to sell the interests of Zhongyuan Tangkou?
It’s clear at a glance!
Emperor Zhu laughed loudly and said: "If Jianyi really wants to integrate into our Central Plains, if Jianyi treats the people of this world as human beings and can make the people of the world barely survive instead of thinking about hard-core crops, How could we have rebelled against the Qing Dynasty by shaving our hair and changing clothes? Who would stick their heads in their belts when they are full and full?"
Old Man Cui sipped two dry smoke pots, squinted his eyes and said: "What your Majesty said is true, you just can't live anymore - I heard from the older generation that Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others built the Ming Dynasty in the beginning.
Later, they all rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty. If they can survive, will there be people who will follow them to rebel?"
Speaking of this, Old Man Cui suddenly pointed the dry smoke pot in the direction of the members: "Just like those idiots, if they let their opinions ruin the world, the people in the world will not follow them in rebellion."
?”
The common people will vote with their feet, not to mention having enough food and clothing, but as long as the family can barely survive, the common people will not think of rebellion. The key is that the Qing Dynasty did not give ordinary people a chance to survive!
Zeng Cheng was afraid that Old Man Cui and the others would continue to talk about Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong - although Zhang Xianzhong later rebelled against the Qing Dynasty when only half of the Ming Dynasty was left, and even left his last words before being killed by an arrow: "The Ming Dynasty's three hundred years of orthodoxy may not be completely eliminated.
It is also God's will. If I die, I will return to the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible. It will not be unjust." However, after all, it was Zhang Xianzhong who dug the Fengyang ancestral grave of Lao Zhu's family, and Zhang Xianzhong also executed Zhu Yiming, the king of Xiang in the Ming Dynasty, with extremely cruel means.
King of Chu Zhu Huakui, King of Rui Zhu Changhao, King of Shu Zhu Zhishu and their families, with tens of thousands of subordinates, it is somewhat inappropriate to mention Zhang Xianzhong in front of Emperor Zhu.
So Zeng Cheng wanted to change the subject: "Speaking of which, Yongzhuo also wrote an anti-poetry, but Yongzhuo himself is a Yi chieftain. No matter how hard he engages in literary bathing, he can't get it.
On his head."
Now, not only Old Man Cui and other old farmers were interested, but even Emperor Zhu couldn't help but be curious.
A mediocre income?
Anti-poetry?
Zeng Cheng chuckled and said: "The sky is clear for thousands of miles, and the fairy bridge is built by magpies. There is still a date between heaven and grandson, how ruthless is the world? The crescent moon is piercing the needle, and the sound of dripping in the shade of flowers is heard. In the cool night, where I lean, the river is flowing.
.”
"This song "Qixi" was written by Yong Zheng. The "Wanli clear blue sky" may mean that he has successfully defeated other brothers and became the emperor as he wished. "There is still an appointment between heaven and grandson, how ruthless is the world?" It is in
He expressed his stance to the other brothers and said that he would not attack them."
This is pure bullshit.
Yong Zheng calls his brothers "Aqina" and "Seth Hei", which means "How can the world be ruthless?" This clearly means "The world is really ruthless!"
And despite the fact that Yong Zheng writes his own poems, and the far-reaching poems he writes are better than those of Qian Deafangou’s more than 40,000 limericks, Yong Zheng is very unfriendly to the people who write poems.
"Qingfeng is illiterate, why is he flipping through the book randomly?" This is Yong Zhengchao's business!
Zeng Cheng went on to say: "The reason why this poem by Yong Zheng is an anti-poetry lies in the last sentence - "Where I lean in the cool night, the river is blooming." In the dead of night, when people are quiet, I am still thinking about "the river".
Isn’t this what “people think of the Han people” and think of the Ming Dynasty?”
When Zeng Cheng’s words fell,
But then again, these scholars are really bad. They surrendered to the Qing Dynasty after the Qing Dynasty came to pass. Not to mention how honest they were after surrendering to the Qing Dynasty. Now that the Ming Dynasty has re-established the country, they want to make trouble again? They are used to it!
If we give in this time and abolish the ancestral system of "only students are not allowed" in accordance with the demands of those students, will these students who have tasted the sweetness ask for more in the future?
Zhu Jinsong naturally does not want these bad things to happen again.
After laughing for a while, Zhu Jinsong snorted coldly and said: "Right is right and wrong is wrong. They are obviously wrong. Why do you two act like you are in the wrong court?"
Zeng Cheng and Liu Heming looked at each other again and said tentatively: "Your Majesty, everyone in the world..."
Zhu Jinsong waved his hand directly and asked with a smile: "Yuyouzhongkou? Let me ask you, is this world a world of people, or a world of scholars?"
Zeng Cheng was immediately choked and speechless.
Before the Song Dynasty, the world was nominally the empire of the emperor, but in reality it was the empire of the noble families.
After the Song Dynasty, the world was still the emperor's world in name, but in fact it became the world of the scholar-bureaucrats.
A scholar-official who does not want to become a member of a noble family is not a qualified scholar-official.
Of course, the people of the world are not limited to scholar-bureaucrats and aristocratic families, but the scholar-bureaucrats and aristocratic families can package them as representatives of the people of the world through the right to speak that they control.
Therefore, Emperor Zhu’s question itself was problematic—the scholar-bureaucrats could stately say that they were the people of the world, so the world was the world of the people of the world.
But Zeng Cheng also knew in his heart that since Emperor Zhu asked this question, it meant that the people in the world in Emperor Zhu's eyes were not just the scholar-bureaucrats, but all the people in the entire Ming Dynasty.
After being silent for a while, Zeng Cheng bowed slightly and replied: "Your Majesty cares for the people of the world, but the people of the world may not understand your majesty's painstaking efforts."
Emperor Zhu laughed loudly. Not only did he not pay attention to Zeng Cheng's persuasion, he stood up directly and walked slowly: "Right and wrong, merits and demerits, I don't have to say, you don't have to say, those who want to ride
Those who lord it over the common people don't count. Those who really have the final say are the millions and millions of common people in the Ming Dynasty. Even if those bastards can deceive the common people for a while, I will only bear the infamy for a few years.
When the people see their true colors clearly, they will naturally give me justice."
Emperor Zhu's words could be described as sound and clear, but when they fell on Zeng Cheng's ears, they were as scary as thunder on the ground.
"Domineering and doing good fortune" is actually an overused word, not to mention that there is a sentence in "Three Kingdoms·Wei Zhi·Jiang Ji Biography" that "husband 'does good and doing good', the clear commandment of "Book"", the 70th chapter of "Dream of Red Mansions"
There is also a sentence in one episode: "He just coaxes the old lady to like him, so that he can dominate him."
The royal family of the Japanese Kingdom needs to part with some of it. They don't care whether the envoys sent out are materials for study and study. They only care about the aristocratic content of the envoys.
The shogunate also needs to take some of it away, but while the shogunate cares about the aristocratic content, it also cares about whether the envoys have the talent to study.
Only the remaining quota of envoys after the profits were divided among all parties was what the Tokugawa family could freely use.
It was not that Tokugawa Ieqiu had never thought about holding all the places for Ming Dynasty envoys in his hands. However, after thinking about it again and again, Tokugawa Ieqiu had to give up this beautiful idea.
Because the Tokugawa family has not succeeded in usurping the throne, Mitsuoka Kihito is still the nominal king of Japan. The Edo shogunate can hold the power, but it is inferior to Mitsuoka Kihito in terms of title.
Ren was also the leader of the Japanese country conferred by the Ming Emperor. Naturally, Guangge Jianren could not be bypassed in the quota allocation of Japanese envoys.
Successful usurpation?
As for the Japanese country, it has always been a glorious tradition for the lower class to conquer the upper class.
After hearing Tokugawa Ieki's proviso, all the feudal lords and daimyo present breathed a sigh of relief.
It's good if you have conditions, but if you're afraid, he won't have any conditions.
As for the restrictive conditions given by Tokugawa Ieqi, it requires that two places must be allocated to talented civilian scholars...can this be considered a condition?
Shimazu Hisamitsu and Matsudaira Nobunobu immediately took the lead and said: "Hai! We will obey the general's orders!"
After Zeng Cheng and Liu Heming left the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Zhu, who was full of powerlessness, slumped down on his chair and began to make calculations in his mind.
Emperor Zhu finally decided to deal with them all.
The so-called law does not punish everyone is actually more like the relationship between floods and dams.
When floods come, the dams that anyone is responsible for are at risk of breaking. Only by strictly implementing the responsibility to everyone can we urge everyone to work hard to strengthen the dams.
What if some bastards are allowed to collude to dig out the embankments because the so-called law does not hold the public accountable? Because those bastards have families, so we should let them go?
The only result of doing this is that they drag everyone to death - today they drag the people, tomorrow they drag the officials, and the day after tomorrow they drag it to Emperor Zhu?
After lowering his head and pondering for a long time, Emperor Zhu suddenly raised his head and commanded in a deep voice: "Transfer the Sauron camp from Heilongjiang to Luo."
Emperor Zhu's move to transfer Sauron's camp to Luo was a clear message to everyone: If you have the guts, just rebel!
Seeing Ke Zhiming hesitate, Emperor Zhu couldn't help but snorted: "What else?"
Ke Zhiming's heart trembled, and he bowed and said: "In addition, those students also asked Your Majesty to resume the imperial examination!"
After hearing the news, Emperor Zhu laughed suddenly, and the look on his face gradually became ferocious.
Although Emperor Zhu had been working hard to change, the Ming Dynasty was still unable to completely get rid of certain characteristics of the feudal dynasty.
In other words, some of the remaining features of the feudal dynasty were deliberately left behind by Emperor Zhu.
For example, when people pay homage to officials, people usually only need to bow their hands and bow to officials when they see them, but once a court case is opened for questioning, people should bow to officials.
Another example is the punishment of being skinned and shredded and implicating family members and even clan members - since you have received the salute of the people, you should be mentally prepared to be skinned and shredded for embezzling sixty taels of silver.
In other words, according to the standards of the previous Ming Dynasty or Qing Dynasty, the current Ming Dynasty may have hundreds of millions of talents, but the masters of Juren and Jinshi are still rare.
Now these scholars do not want to serve the emperor, but are kneeling outside the palace, crying and shouting to restore the ancestral system. What do they want to do?
