I am the king of the dead

This is also the case that caused Yu Qian to worry about the schoolboys disrupting the Ming Dynasty. This case seems to be ordinary, and there are no dead people. After returning to prison, these prison students were not punished too severely. During the Jingtai period, hundreds of dozens of beheaded Among the major cases, it is not unusual.

At that time, it was only common sense, but Yu Qian, who was thinking about it after thinking about it, became more and more afraid. The bureaucratic system of the Ming Dynasty was one of the cornerstones of the Ming Dynasty, and the consequences of this cornerstone being monopolized by academics were self-evident. Metaphor.

Judging from this case, Yu Qian believes that exile overseas is already very kind. Before this court meeting, Yu Qian's general goal was to persuade His Majesty to kill less people. Now his goal is to persuade His Majesty to exile the prison students overseas.

"I remember." Of course Zhu Qiyu remembered, he chose to personally let the supervisor and himself play against him in broad daylight, and finally resolved the big case of Chaotianque.

From Zhu Qiyu's point of view, the supervisors didn't understand the imperial government's decree. Since he wanted to see him, he could naturally come forward and have a good chat with these supervisors, so that the misunderstanding would be resolved.

But obviously, Zhu Qiyu underestimated the impact of this incident on Qian. In the eyes of the courtiers, this is tantamount to rebellion.

Yu Qian leaned forward and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I think the law is merciless. Since it is a fraud in the examination room, and since it is a greedy beetle, it should be deterred by thunder to prevent such things from happening again in the future."

"Your Majesty is the supreme son of heaven, and the supervisor is wanton. Since he has completely lost his obedience, he should be severely punished. Otherwise, everyone in the world will compete, so why treat him?"

Shang Ren was shocked by Yu Qian's ruthlessness, and Shang Ren couldn't refute Yu Qian's reasons. When the dust-covered past of Nan Ya's superintendent Chao Tianque was suddenly brought up, Shang Ren couldn't plead for the superintendents. .

Zhu Qiyu said with a serious face: "The supervisor is not deep in the world, ignorant of world affairs, completely ignorant of the consequences of his doing these things, all relying on his will, the blood of this age is cold, and Daming will die."

"I think I can give them a chance. If they have real talents and practical learning, they can still stay in Beijing and study in the Imperial College."

Zhu Qiyu is still insisting on his idea. The supervisors are very young. If young people do things with foresight and backwardness, even if they are scheming and sophisticated, Daming will become a lifeless Daming. Is this kind of Daming what Zhu Qiyu wants?

Obviously not.

Yu Qian pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the Han Dynasty has been loyal and good for generations. Even if these 9000 people were exiled overseas, Daming still has successors. Sworn to the Day of the Dead."

"Punish wrongdoing and abstain from evil, the heavens are just, the world is cleansed, and the world is clear."

There is no shortage of scholars in Ming Dynasty. Yu Qian does not think that punishing these crimes will cool down the hearts of scholars or young people in Ming Dynasty. On the contrary, he punishes evils and curbs chaos, clearing away the cloud over the heads of scholars in Ming Dynasty, and letting the gloomy world see a glimmer of light. , is the journey of the great road.

Zhu Qiyu was silent for a long time, the entire Wenhua Palace was so quiet that one could hear a needle drop.

Is this Yu Qian forcing His Majesty to be unkind?

it's not true.

Yu Qian is the one who scolded the superintendents, and the staff of Zhongshushe will leave Yu Qian’s words in the daily notes, and finally record them truthfully in the memo, which will only write [Qian admonishes the supervising students to go overseas, and the superiors can’t bear to recheck the exam, Qian and To remonstrate, the superior refuses to obey righteousness, and when he is modest and admonishes, the superior encourages him to obey. 】

It is conceivable how Yu Qian will be scolded by scholars of later generations.

As far as this paragraph is concerned, Yu Qian looks like a powerful minister of the Ming Dynasty. In the future, His Majesty will not be around. When some people counterattack and count, Yu Qian may be exhumed and flogged.

"Your Majesty, the remaining supervisors will not be grateful to His Majesty, but will grit their molars and hate that the roots of their teeth are itchy! People are like this, they will not see their own mistakes, and they are always picking on others' faults , They will blame their misfortune on His Majesty instead of themselves." Yu Qian gave another reason.

His majesty's forgiveness, in the eyes of the supervisors, is completely persecution rather than benevolence.

They would not appreciate His Majesty's magnanimity, but gritted their teeth with hatred, and then used the most vicious language and harshest judgment to discuss His Majesty's magnanimity.

"If you make a mistake, you will be punished. When you do it, you should think about it. You should think twice before acting." Zhu Qiyu looked at Yu Qian and said: "This is the truth taught by Confucius. Give them a chance."

"The stone buildings in Wanshan should not be too high, and you can eat porridge and soybeans. It's a young man's business, and the prodigal son will not change his money when he returns."

Seeing that His Majesty still persisted, Yu Qian pondered for a long time before bowing his head and saying loudly: "Your Majesty is lenient."

When the ministers heard that Yu Qian had finally compromised, they breathed a sigh of relief. Even the atmosphere in the Wenhua Hall was no longer so dignified, and they immediately said in unison: "Your Majesty is lenient."

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand, motioning the officials to calm down, and then said: "I have actually been persuaded. After thinking twice, I think what Yu Shaobao said makes sense. But after thinking about it again, Yu Shaobao's reputation before and after, more important."

"Pray for glory and be humiliated, three signs of national ruin, I can't let the hearts of the loyal and righteous people in the world be chilled."

Politics is actually a multiple-choice question, and Zhu Qiyu chose to keep Yu Qian's reputation.

Zhu Qiyu must ensure Yu Qian's reputation before and after his life, and must let Yu Qian die well, and the one behind him is still the Yu Qian who wants to stay innocent in the world.

Just like Liu Bingji, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, he had already killed Huo Guang all over his family, and even killed Huo Shan and Huo Yun, who succeeded Huo Qubing Chehou, but in the end Huo Guang was lifted to the top of the eleven heroes of Qilin Pavilion.

When people discuss Huo Guang, most of them will discuss Mrs. Xian's stupidity, and Huo Yu, Huo Shan, and Huo Yun's lack of obedience, but Mrs. Xian's stupidity is not the result of Huo Guang's lax management of the family?

This is the result that Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty wanted.

People are mortal, Zhu Qiyu can guarantee Yu Qian's reputation when he is alive, but if he is dead, can he still manage it?

Therefore, in order to preserve Yu Qian's good name, Zhu Qiyu still chose his own opinion on how to deal with it.

No matter when, no matter who you are, you will say: Look at how much Yu Shaobao has tried to persuade the dog emperor to be benevolent, but the dog emperor can't listen to a word. I can't persuade them.

The rubbish will be thrown on Zhu Qiyu's grave, not Yu Qian's.

Zhu Qiyu is the emperor, and his posthumous honor and disgrace are left to Chunqiu to judge, while Yu Qian is left to humanistic scholars to judge. Zhu Qiyu is protected by the venerable, but Yu Qian does not.

"Chen..." Only then did Yu Qian know why His Majesty changed his mind and decided to stay after the exam. For a while, Yu Qian was at a loss for words. He never expected that the reason for His Majesty's decision in the end was actually himself .

"I think that the harm caused by seeking glory and humiliation is more serious than cheating in the imperial court. I don't know what Yu Shaobao thinks?" Zhu Qiyu said calmly: "I also consider the system of the country and the long-term stability of the Ming Dynasty. It’s true that there are loyal people, but we also need to give these loyal people a stage to display their talents.”

Fraud in the imperial examination has been accompanied by the demise of the imperial examination since the birth of the imperial examination. The imperial examination has always been the private land of carnivores, and the poor are also the family.

There will not be more changes because of Zhu Qiyu's strict rectification, but the reputation of Yu Shaobao who devoted himself to Daming has been ruined by scholars. Is there still room for Zhongliang to display his talents in Daming?

"Your Majesty is wise." Yu Qian bowed his head and said after thinking for a moment.

All the ministers shouted in unison: "Your Majesty is wise."

Zhu Qiyu sat up straight, chose to leave this topic behind, and continued: "Then let's move on to the second topic, let's do the affairs of the capital in the Western Regions."

The communication this time is much smoother than last time, but there are still two-thirds of the opposition to the establishment of the Western Regions Capital Division, Zhu Qiyu is not in a hurry, the Western Regions is a thousand-year plan, regardless of temporary gains and losses, the number of court discussions and arguments The more you think about it, the less problems you will have when implementing it in the future.

The law is used as the division, the name is used as the table, the reference is used as the test, and the test is used as the decision.

The Guozijian exam will come soon, and this time the focus is not on the Four Books and Five Classics, but on "Guanzi" and mathematics.

"Guanzi" is a classic that was added to the imperial examination after His Majesty ascended the throne, and the degree bypass was also promoted by Zhu Qiyu, and achieved many results.

This time, the test is to test the heart of obedience.

The atmosphere in the Imperial College was very tense. In the past, there were many, many fewer people who were going to send messages to the Women’s Hall. The tense atmosphere permeated the entire Gongyuan. This exam directly related to whether the supervisors could still be Ming people.

Some people were sad and some were happy. In just a few days, the Imperial College was full of wailing.

Five days later, Wu Jing submitted the test results after three reviews to Zhu Qiyu's case, and the results were beyond everyone's expectations.

"Give them a chance, they are useless!" Zhu Qiyu looked at the result of the exam, feeling a lot of emotion, handed it to Yu Qian who had been waiting for the result, and said helplessly: "A total of 5000 more people were left, and a total of 6000 people."

"There are 100 people in Beiyong, and less than [-] people in Nanyong."

A total of 6000 people remained, and the gap between the north and the south was almost doubled. Nanyong, who was good at reading, completely defeated Beiyong this time.

Loyal Shun Tianfu won the big exam of "Respectful Heart", and retained nearly half of the supervisors, while Ying Tianfu, who was not very loyal, only retained 2000 students in the big exam of "Respectful Heart". The scale has shrunk by more than [-]%.

The questions Zhu Qiyu posed were not difficult, and he personally posed the questions for arithmetic.

And "Guanzi" was written by the dreamer Qiu Jun. Qiu Jun followed His Majesty's benevolent point of view, and did not make it difficult for students. Most of the questions, as long as you have read Guanzi carefully, you will not be unable to answer.

There were a total of nearly 2 people in the north and south, and only 6000 people remained in the end. This level is indeed not worthy of the reputation of the highest institution in Ming Dynasty.

After reading the report card, Yu Qian could only shake his head and say, "Rewards and punishments are good and bad, the first of five punishments is the end of education."

This sentence comes from "Zhuangzi Tiandao".

The five punishments refer to ink, 劓, 剕, Gong, and Dapi respectively.

It can be simply understood as tattooing, nose cutting, amputation of feet, castration (circumcision of men, claustrophobia of women), and death penalty.

It was also when Zhu Qiyu heard Lu Zhong talk about the difference between the punishment of five poisons and the punishment of five punishments that he knew the difference. One was torture and the other was the name of the punishment. It was also the first time he knew that women also had castration.

Rewards and punishments should be given benefits or punishments; the use of various criminal laws is the end of enlightenment and the last resort.

It is the version of Zhu Qiyu's old saying that give them a chance and they are useless.

Zhu Qiyu picked up the memo on the table, looked it up and said: "In the future, the students of the Guozijian will be released from prison and returned to Yiqin to Chaoyangmen. Then he took a boat to Songjiang Prefecture, where he waited to see his family members, and then he was exiled overseas."

"Currently, there are five places in exile in Luzon, Wa, Boni, Siam and Java."

If it wasn't on Daming's sea chart, the place where the supervisors were exiled should probably be Australia, but because of the influence of the equatorial windless zone, if Daming's ship wants to explore Australia, it still needs to continue to explore.

The equatorial windless zone is a marine climate. Because the vicinity of the equator is affected by direct sunlight all year round, the temperature distribution is even, and the bottom wind direction near the troposphere is changeable and weak, eventually forming a windless zone.

For navigation in the age of sails, the equatorial windless zone is a natural moat on the sea.

"I originally planned to exile them to Manbasa or Hulumos, but I thought it was too far away, so forget it." Zhu Qiyu glanced at Kanyu map, Hulumos was in the Middle East, and Manbasa was in South Africa.

Exiled to these places, the wealthy households behind these supervisors may have given up the supervisor directly, which runs counter to Zhu Qiyu's purpose, and Zhu Qiyu chose the decision to go as far as Java.

"The farthest has been exiled to Java." Looking at the list of exiles, Yu Qian can only sigh with emotion that His Majesty is still as cruel as ever, even considering Hulumos and Man Basa.

"Because Java has black gold, which is oil." Zhu Qiyu explained the reason. Java has oil, and Daming's lamp oil mainly relies on light oil extracted from oil, so it is natural to go to develop it.

The purpose of exile Jiansheng is to drive the wealthy households behind Jiansheng to go overseas to explore the sea. There is no doubt that the gold and silver in Borneo are as important as the oil in Java.

"In the future, some family members will go to Chaoyang Gate to see off their supervisors. I plan to go. I wonder if Yu Shaobao will go to see the excitement?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Yu Qian and asked.

Of course, Zhu Qiyu didn't go to watch the excitement, but to watch the world, the joys and sorrows.

Yu Qian said without hesitation: "You should also go and have a look, after all, it was proposed by me to go abroad."

Chapter 813 The sorrows and joys of human beings are not the same, I just feel that I deserve it

Jingtai ten years, September, Dou Zhiwu, cold dew.

Hanlu is the No.24 solar term among the 17 solar terms, and it is also the fifth season of autumn, which is the season of late autumn.

The southern Yamen has entered late autumn, while the northern Yaya has entered the cold winter. Even the red maple trees in the mountains and plains in the west have withered. The cold wind from the northwest has blown the Siberian cold throughout the entire capital, making Chaoyangmen even more desolate.

Today is the day when the students of the Imperial College of the Ming Dynasty are exiled overseas. When they leave the Chaoyang Gate, they will be escorted to the Shibo Department and sent to various places of exile.

Zhu Qiyu sat on the Wufeng Building of Chaoyang Gate, listening to the mournful cries of the people who saw him off under the city wall, even the sound of the wind passing through the door opening was quite desolate.

This misery was blown away by the north wind, as if it had never appeared before.

However, the folk houses from Chaoyangmen to Tongzhou City exude vitality everywhere. The roads are planned in an orderly manner. The houses are all red bricks and green tiles newly built in the past few years, and street trees are planted on every street. Used to distinguish between roads and pedestrians.

There is no evidence for the earliest street trees. As early as the Qin Dynasty when Chi Road was built, they had already been planted on both sides of the road. A few dead leaves hung on these street trees, crumbling in the wind.

The cold can't stop the enthusiasm of the people. The flat-bottomed tank boats from Tongzhou to Chaoyangmen are all over the river, and there are two rows of flagpoles on both sides of the river, which seem out of place.

These flagpoles were hung with Tonghuihe Heihao, who ordered Yu Qian to be executed before Zhu Qiyu ascended the throne, but now ten years have passed, and there is nothing on the flagpoles, but no one dares to move the flagpoles.

No one can stop the river anymore.

Zhu Qiyu really likes to be on the Wufeng Tower of Chaoyangmen, looking at the endless houses outside Chaoyangmen, this is the world.

"Some time ago, the governor of Shuntian Mansion made a request to dispose of Tongzhou and the capital of Beiya. I have approved the memorial. In the spring of next year, let Tongzhou be brought under the rule of the capital." Zhu Qiyu talked about government affairs to Yu Qian.

The development of the capital in recent years has been extremely fast, and it is almost impossible to let go of the outer city. There are endless houses outside the city, and the houses of Chaoyangmen have stretched to Tongzhou. It is necessary to plan Tongzhou as a part of the capital.

But Yu Qian said with some concern: "To the east is Tongzhou, to the south is Daxing Nanhaizi, to the west is Shijingshan, and to the north is Qinghe. With such a large area enclosed, I don't know if it will be enough."

In recent years, the capital has been turned upside down and changed with each passing day. When Yin Shangzuo of Shuntian Fu wanted to cancel the Tongzhou county government and change it to the capital, Yu Qian even rode a horse and found that there was indeed a need for expansion. Know if enough is enough.

"It should be enough for the past few years." Zhu Qiyu replied absent-mindedly, because the cries in the city were getting louder and louder, which had already disturbed the emperor and his ministers.

Zhu Qiyu's expression became playful.

As Yu Qian said, his generosity has not been exchanged for the slightest gratitude. Whether it is staying or the students who have flown overseas, they have expressed their strong dissatisfaction.

Zhu Qiyu heard some ugly words, and the people in the city didn't know that the emperor was on Wufeng Tower.

"Damn it, what kind of evil did you do? You're going to be exiled overseas! It's still Java, my son. How can you live there!" A sharp wailing and hysterical roar came. .

Zhu Qiyu sneered when he heard the word "Java". Exile overseas is also punished according to the seriousness of the incident. The prison students sent to Java are basically repeat offenders. Even if they are not exiled to Java, they must be sent to Yongning Temple.

What crime did you do?

Just like the cancer cells in the body, after the body dies, the cancer cells will also die, but the cancer cells just ignore it, and they must reach out where they should not be.

Zhu Qiyu had an operation to remove part of the tumor.

"These people can't live a hard life when they go overseas. After the opening of the sea in the Tang and Song Dynasties, there are many people who have gone south to live in Nanyang. If they are added to them, the end of the barbarians will come." Yu Qian said very sincerely to His Majesty.

The heart of a scholar is darker than ink.

Most of those who have no choice but to go south and live in Nanyang are hard-working people. These hard-working people are more than cruel, but not treacherous.There are not as many educated people as those who are hard-working people.

This group of supervisors gave birth to Nanyang, and the result of the foreign barbarians can be imagined.

"How to say?" Zhu Qiyu frowned and asked with some doubts.

Yu Qian said with a sigh: "This group of scholars will lead the expatriates, kill all the barbarian men, and then rob them of their women."

"Nikolaoz said that Ming has a high moral disadvantage." Zhu Qiyu refuted after thinking for a while, and it has been proved more than once that what Nikolaoz said is right, that Ming's high moral disadvantage does exist.

Yu Qian said helplessly: "How many moral people can be exiled by the court?"

"Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty, followed the example of Cao Bin and went to the south of the Yangtze River without killing evil. After breaking Lin'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, a group of scholars in Lin'an were exiled to Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and other places. They all moved to Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guizhou.”

"These scholars led the Xiang army and killed people hole by hole."
