Domineering Daming

Zhu Xu looked at the group of people standing there with cold eyes, and said: "When I was in the mansion, I witnessed the cruelty of party disputes and deeply hated officials, so I completely abolished the thirteen censors, but now It seems that you feudal officials and local high-ranking officials can't let me at all, let the court worry! I have sent a decree to the cabinet, ordering the cabinet to select officials and form a patrol investigation team to investigate the implementation of the "New Deal" in various places. If any of you have other ideas and can't do things, you can leave now, I won't keep you, but if the inspector finds out, I will definitely not show mercy!"

Zou Weilian and the others didn't dare to speak, they just felt a little heavier on their shoulders, and unconsciously bent over.

Zhu Xu squinted his eyes and thought to himself, this group of people can really bear it.He tapped his fingers on the handle of the chair, waved his hands and said, "Sit down, I didn't come to settle accounts after the fall. These are all things in the future, and it's still too late for you to correct your mistakes now."

Zou Weilian and the others listened to Zhu Xu's words, their hearts became even more restless, and they sat down more cautiously and restlessly.

This is just an appetizer, Zhu Xu picked up the fan, gently opened it, and said: "These are just a reminder to you, I'm talking about something other than the 'New Deal'."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't dare to be careless and acted respectfully.

"'weathering'……"

Zhu Xu leaned slightly on the chair, and said slowly: "There have always been people who have written letters to me, saying that they are 'elegant and elegant', that ancient literati, poets, great poets, and great poets cannot do without brothels and goulan, so there should be no ban Yunyun..."

"I am also very moved by what I said, how about it, should the ban be lifted, and now I will take you to 'Elegant and Merry' together? The monarch and the ministers have fun together, no matter how happy you are, I will not leave, let’s have fun for half a year Besides, it may become a good story through the ages, and it will be passed on forever, and you can also follow the name to future generations. Of course, I don't listen to the lyrics and songs like "the businesswoman doesn't know the hatred of subjugation, but she still sings flowers in the backyard across the river"... "Zhu Xu said with a smile.

Everyone's expressions moved, their faces were stiff, their brows were frowning, and they didn't dare to breathe.

Such a scene is not a good story through the ages, it will only be infamous for thousands of years!

Zhu Xu glanced over the faces of all the people in the lobby, and said calmly: "Reading sages' books and writing moral articles, why are they not talking at this moment? My scholars and officials in Ming Dynasty can't live without prostitutes? Sexual enjoyment, sleeping in flowers and sleeping in willows, are these necessary for scholars and indispensable for officials? Is it to rely on these to cultivate one's morality and maintain one's integrity?"

A few people showed apprehension and lowered their heads, and they also wrote notes on this aspect.

Zhu Xu's eyes turned on the faces of several people, and he snorted coldly and said: "I repeat again, the 'nine prohibition' does not prevent great poets from writing poems, nor does it prevent everyone from writing lyrics. , An important part of rectifying the Gangji! The Chao Gang is the Chao Gang, no one can overstep it, and if there are people who can’t tell the difference, and can’t see right from wrong, when writing this kind of melodies, please write the memoirs!”

Several people shrank their heads, not daring to make a sound.

Zou Weilian knew it well, and felt a little heavy in his heart. The emperor's dissatisfaction with Fujian was not at 01:30.

Zhu Xu picked up the tea, took a deep breath, and said, "Fujian doesn't care about Catholic affairs. The imperial court will set up a priest to manage them. Before the imperial court has issued a clear order, all Catholic activities are prohibited."

Zou Weilian has some connections with the Catholic Church, and he finds many things about them quite new.He has been thinking, he can't let the emperor continue talking like this, he must interrupt, this is obviously an opportunity, he pondered, and said: "Your Majesty, I think that it is not appropriate to prohibit..."

Zhu Xu waved his hand, interrupted him directly, and said, "You want to speak for them? Do you know their background? Their past? What consequences might their actions bring? Are they missionaries, just for missions? Who pointed the way for the red-haired people to invade Taiwan? Where did the sea chart come from? Where is the road map for the invasion of Xiamen? Do you know how many places they have been to? Did these places bring peace or disaster because of their preaching? I don't deny that there are good people and pure missionaries in it, but do you have a little investigation, thinking, and vigilance? Or do you just make judgments based on temporary good feelings? You are court ministers, not ordinary people!"

Zou Weilian was speechless by Zhu Xu's few words. He just admired those missionaries who are fluent in Chinese, but he didn't know their past, origin and possible danger.

"If you don't have enough research and understanding, don't speak freely!" Zhu Xu glanced at Zou Weilian for the last time, and said lightly.

Zou Weilian's expression changed, a stone was blocked in his heart, he couldn't hold back, he still said: "Yes."

Zhu Xu looked at the others again, and said: "My Ming Dynasty has a vast territory. Apart from my Han nationality, there are many other ethnic groups, and they are often crowned with the word 'barbarian', but I think this should not be the case. To be enlightened by saints, get rid of ignorance, and know books and rituals, but you can't be complacent because of this, and look down on others. You can't wantonly belittle, suppress, or even use weapons. Recently, I am reading the memoirs of Taizu, in which about these There are clear regulations, the current chaos is due to the lack of laws and man-made sabotage, Fujian needs to seriously review and reflect..."

Fujian is mountainous, and the complex of living in groups is particularly important in this regard. Naturally, experience must also be accumulated and extended to the entire Ming Dynasty.

"I'm guilty!" Zou Weilian and Yu Anxing got up quickly.

Regarding this point, the Taizu really had a clear rule, but it has long existed in name only.

The foreplay is over, just about to accelerate.

Zhu Xu waved his hand, picked up the teacup again, and said indifferently before drinking, "Recently some merchants were massacred overseas. I heard that you in Fujian have some disagreements?"

As soon as Zhu Xu finished speaking, a councilor stood up, raised his hand and said to Zhu Xu, "Yes, I object!"

Zhu Xu took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and said calmly, "Tell me the reason."

The counselor's name was Tian Yufu, he looked at Zhu Xu with a firm expression, and said: "Your Majesty, the merchants are untouchables, and there are so many rascals, the emperor's grace is great, my court is benevolent and righteous, how can I initiate a military revolution for some untouchables!"

"My minister agrees!"

Another counselor stood up and said: "Your Majesty, in overseas battles, the culprit is unknown, and the outcome is unpredictable. Merchants abandon their homes and swim in the sea, and never return in winter. Fathers, brothers and relatives all despise it, and there is no regret in abandoning it!"

"emperor."

Wang Shengyong, who participated in politics on the left, came out and said quite pertinently: "Soldiers are not a blessing. We have experienced disasters in our dynasty, and it is not appropriate to raise troops. How about passing a letter of payment, ordering Franji to release the living, return the property, and the two sides are on good terms. It is the best policy to stop the disaster of war."

Chapter 733

Zhu Xu listened quietly, without moving.

After Wang Shengyong finished speaking, a group of people looked at Zhu Xu with burning eyes, trying to probe his inner thoughts from his expression.

Tang Wang Zhu Yujian, Xiong Wencan, Yu Anxing and others knew something about Zhu Xu's thoughts, but they didn't dare to intervene at this time.

After a while, Zhu Xu said slowly, "Is there anything else you want to say?"

Looking at Zhu Xu, Zou Weilian felt uneasy. After some consideration, he got up and said, "Your Majesty, it is indeed inappropriate for a war to occur at this time. The most important thing is to repair the government affairs, and the other things are the second. After our dynasty has overcome the natural disaster and the national strength is restored It's not too late to conquest."

When Zou Weilian came out, he could be regarded as the final voice of the civil servants.

Zhu Xu frowned, sat up straight, and said calmly: "A few years ago, I was not good at national power. Does it mean that I should not crusade against Jiannu, but should listen to the opinions of those adults, abandon Liaodong, and guard Shanhaiguan? ?”

Zou Weilian, Wang Shengyong and others frowned. The emperor's words could not be refuted, because the facts proved that the emperor was right, Jiannu had been defeated, and the entire territory of Liaodong was recovered.

Wang Shengyong lowered his brows for a while, then raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, Jiannu and Frangji are completely different. Jiannu is a threat, and it is easy for a large army to conquer, but Flangji is thousands of miles away. It is of no benefit to the people, please think twice, Your Majesty."

Zhu Xu glanced at him and said, "That's right." He paused after saying this, and picked up the teacup beside him.

Upon hearing this, Wang Shengyong quickly said: "My Majesty, please don't send troops to read. The affairs of merchants and people at sea can be handled by my governor's yamen in Fujian."

After Zhu Xu finished his tea, he looked at Wang Shengyong and said, "Flanger, the red-haired man traveled thousands of miles to come near my Daming, do you think they would just come and see, and then go back home? According to what I know You know, they have strong ships and hundreds of large ships. They repeatedly invaded Taiwan and Xiamen, and took great pains to defend it. In the past, it was Jinghai. Do I have to do the same now? Let them land directly, and even save the resistance ? Or, build a Great Wall on the sea, and we all hide in it to enjoy peace and not go out for the rest of our lives?"

Zhu Xu's voice was very calm, with a chill in it.

Zhu Yujian, Xiong Wencan, Yu Anxing and others bowed quietly, not daring to speak.

Zou Weilian, Wang Shengyong and the others felt heavy in their hearts. They were not worried that Zhu Xu would punish them, but worried that if the emperor raised his troops, the consequences would be unpredictable, especially Fujian, which would bear the brunt of it!

In Daming's current situation, no matter what, it is impossible to send troops overseas!

Counselor Tian Yufu raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, every drink and peck is full of people's fat and people's ointment. Once troops are raised to go to war, it will inevitably cost a lot, and it is for some overseas troublesome people. The real amount is wasted. Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Zhu Xu glanced at him, then turned to look at Yu Anxing, and said, "You are a general, tell me."

Yu Anxing got up quickly, and said: "Your Majesty, I think that I should be punished severely, not to mention victory or defeat, I will tell Frangji that I cannot be bullied by Ming Dynasty, let alone the people of Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Xu remained expressionless, and turned his gaze to Tang Wang Zhu Yujian.

Zhu Yujian got up immediately, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the navy has been preparing for war for a long time, and it has long been ready for a battle. Whether it is the red-haired man or the Franji man, we have won before. I have confidence!"

Xiong Wencan hurriedly stood up, and said solemnly: "I invite you to fight!"

Zou Weilian glanced sideways at the three of them, frowned, thinking that they sensed the holy will and were flattering.

He was about to speak, but Zhu Xu looked directly at him and said indifferently, "Let me tell a story."
