First Minister Section 472
First Minister Section 472
When Qian Yongren said this, he raised his head, and there was a trace of hope in his eyes... What he said was all the truth, and it was also what he realized in his heart after being arrested.
Maybe these things can change his life... After all, during the time in Beiping, Zhu Biaoren's generous impression was too deep.
This His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is always amiable and courteous, so much so that he gave birth to unrealistic fantasies.
"Your Highness, the criminal, the criminal is willing to change his mind. If His Highness thinks that the criminal still has something to offer, the criminal is willing to..."
"shut up!"
Zhu Biao yelled angrily, "Qian Yongren, I have already given you a chance, but it's a pity that you don't know how to repent. You make mistakes again and again, and at this moment, you still want to deceive me? Tell you, for corrupt officials like you, I will not be soft!"
Afterwards, Zhu Biao took a deep breath, "What you said just now makes sense. Write down all these things and write them down to save your family's life! Otherwise, the barbarians!"
After finishing speaking, Zhu Biao waved his hand, and someone picked up the money and dragged it down. In an instant, his heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and he couldn't survive... Afterwards, the heart-piercing cry was like a ghost crying , but to no avail.
Zhu Biao then interrogated many prisoners, and he gradually discovered that the confession of these people was worthless when they were about to die.Everyone is afraid of death, and everyone wants to have a chance to do it all over again.
As long as I spare them, this group of people will reform themselves and become a very clean and honest official.
can you?
maybe!
But who can give those bullied people a chance? Those who were killed by them will not come back, and those who were injured by them will be disabled for life.
The woman who was ruined by them can never return to the innocent past...
The connivance of these bastards is the ravages of good people, the second time to do evil!
When Zhu Biao was dealing with the criminals, his heart became harder and harder, and his sympathy became less and less.
Especially when it came to Zhao Yong, the commander of the capital, Zhu Biao was really out of anger!
He sentenced Zhao Yong to be cut in half!
The reason is very simple, this guy not only encroached on the slaves, but also took two handsome boys by his side to act as bookboys... Of course he can't read, so it doesn't matter what he does.
This guy actually euphemistically called it a matter of elegance, and he heard it from a few literati. It is said that Kaifeng in the Song Dynasty was like this, and he played like a flower!
Zhu Biao couldn't bear it anymore. Not only did Zhao Yong beheaded, but he also wrote a special letter, asking Zhu Yuanzhang to issue a decree that such matters should be investigated to the end, and anyone involved in it would be beheaded and never let go!
Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally not polite, and immediately agreed to Zhu Biao's proposal.
In fact, this kid has not always been kind and magnanimous, it's just that he didn't touch his bottom line.
Realizing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was quite happy.
When you have happy things, you have to share them. Lao Zhu wandered over to the National History Museum.
Zhang Ximeng is working on a book here. After several years of busy work, the history of the Song Dynasty has basically begun to take shape.
Zhu Yuanzhang took it over, looked at it, and couldn't help but said: "Mr. Zhang, what you practice this time is quite different from Tuotuo!" Old Zhu flipped through the biographies, especially those civil servants. There are very few people who get good reviews.
Kou Zhun, Fan Zhongyan and Wang Anshi are just a few of them.
The rest of Fu Bi, Han Qi, and others who were highly respected by others also had to lose their lives for a while, forgetting their original evaluation.
As for the big star Su Shi, he was directly classified as a Confucian scholar.
That is to say, he cannot be said to have made no achievements in government affairs, and he is also a mess.
Moreover, Zhang Ximeng gave pedantic and muddled comments unceremoniously.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at it roughly, and felt that the entire civil servants of the Song Dynasty were almost wiped out, and they were scolded bloody.
"Sir, Layman Liuyi has always had a good reputation, why has he become a treacherous villain?"
Zhang Ximeng laughed and said, "If he wasn't a villain, how could he kill Di Qing?"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, "Sir, when we were reading the history books, we heard from Mr. Fenglin that Ouyang Xiu said in the memorial to the impeachment of Di Qing that he had never done anything wrong and only suggested that he should be removed from the post of privy envoy. According to Mr. Fenglin's Meaning, Ouyang Xiu is defending Di Qing, and Layman Liuyi is still kind. What do you think, sir?"
Zhang Ximeng said with a smile: "Mr. Fenglin, of course he is very knowledgeable and knowledgeable, much higher than his ministers... But as a military minister, Di Qing is upright and upright. He has made great achievements and was promoted to a privy envoy. He is an example of a warrior, and the world looks up to him. If There is indeed a crime, and it is justifiable to be dismissed from office. But dismissed from office without fault, this is not punishment, but humiliation!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was startled immediately, and frowned, "That's true. It's justifiable to be dismissed from office if you are guilty. Resignation without fault, and the act of punishing one's heart, this is the earliest unnecessary move! It's no wonder that Di Qing died soon after being demoted. Finally. From this point of view, Ouyang Xiu is indeed a villain, Mr. Fenglin, he is wrong!"
Zhang Ximeng smiled faintly, "Actually, that's not necessarily the case. I can't tell what Ouyang Xiu's thoughts are. After all, this person can write the best articles about cronyism and self-destruction of his teammates. It is appropriate to say that he is a fool. It's just that Chen Xiu This history of the Song Dynasty must be like this!"
Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it again and again, finally nodded and said: "What you said is very true. Since the history of the Song Dynasty is completed, it will be published all over the world immediately after proofreading. All schools must have a copy!"
Chapter 657 Zhu Biao Please Watch the Show
In the winter month of the ninth year of Hongwu, the history of the Song Dynasty, edited by the right minister Zhang Ximeng, finally completed the general content. With the spread of newspapers, the main content of the history of the Song Dynasty continued to spread, and the people gradually saw the true face of Lushan Mountain in this history book.
What followed was fierce discussions. From the court to the people, even the ministers of the Zhongshu Province were dumbfounded and quite surprised when faced with this history book.
"Too, too much!"
This is the unanimous opinion of many officials of the Ministry of Rites after reading it.
To say that since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the most devastated is not the Ministry of Households that manages money, nor the Ministry of Officials that manages people, nor the Ministry of War that manages soldiers, but this seemingly harmless and cute Ministry of Rites.
It has to be said that high-end killing often only requires the simplest method.
There are two things that make it difficult for the Ministry of Rites to accept. First, in the new history of the Song Dynasty, they basically hold a critical attitude towards the emperors of the Song Dynasty.
Only a few people, including Zhao Kuangyin, and some measures such as supporting the political reform, actively reorganizing the army, opening borders to defend against the enemy, etc., were appreciated, and the rest were full of curses, basically without any good comments.
Secondly, in the new history of the Song Dynasty, those famous ministers of the past, the respected role models of scholars, famous scholars and great scholars, were also scolded bloody by Zhang Ximeng.
Needless to say those mentioned above, the Cheng brothers, Zhu Xi, these figures were also criticized, accusing them of wreaking havoc on the country and the people, and causing endless disasters.
From the emperor to the Shilin, it can be said that the entire army was almost wiped out, and no one was spared.
The 300-year-old Song Dynasty was completely useless when it came to Zhang Ximeng's place...
Let's put aside the facts, isn't there anything to praise about the 300-year-old Song Dynasty?
Zhang Ximeng's attack was too ruthless.
The emperor of the Song Dynasty did not have a good person, where would he put his majesty?They are all peers!
The courtiers of the Song Dynasty don't have many good things, so what are we?If the officials lose their dignity, the ordinary people will look down on us and no longer respect the scholar-bureaucrats.
This is a major event that shakes the foundation of the country!
What Zhang Xiang did was too much.
After all the calculations, it was in his favor, Mr. Zhang.
Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism was refuted, and only Zhang Xiangzhi was left.
This history of the Song Dynasty is just Zhang Ximeng's canonization of himself!
"Li Xianggong, a few days ago, His Majesty just appointed Jiang Nan as the Shangshu of the Ministry of Commerce. As a daughter, she was ranked in the high position of the Shangshu. It is true. Now Zhang Xiangxiu is writing the history of the Song Dynasty. On the day when the book is completed, it will determine the right and wrong of the ages and determine the history of the Qing Dynasty. Morality, what a literary talent! They really are a fairy couple, number one in the world!" Yang Xunwen, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, exaggerated, his face was full of admiration.
But Li Shanchang heard these words, obviously not the meaning.Our old Li has been a fox for many years, so there is no need to use this little trick of flattery with me.
However, Li Shanchang found it hard to accept Jiang Nan's entry into Zhongshu Province.
Just after he and Zhang Ximeng parted ways, Zhongshu Sheng pushed eight officials up and asked Zhu Yuanzhang to select him.
There are several officials with outstanding political achievements. Li Shanchang thought that Zhu Yuanzhang should hesitate. After all, as the newly established Ministry of Commerce, the responsibility is very heavy.
Letting a female generation manage it may make mistakes.
But Li Shanchang was completely wrong. The list was handed in in the afternoon, and it was reviewed the next morning and sent directly to the Ministry of Education.
Not surprisingly, Jiang Nan's name was greatly circled.
Lao Zhu also added a special comment: a genius in this world is worthy of great responsibility!
Good guy, this is the emperor's evaluation before he took office. This Jiang Shangshu is really extraordinary, and His Majesty has given Zhang Xiang enough face.
In fact, Li Shanchang also guessed wrong. The reason for this is not because of Zhang Ximeng's big face. After all, no matter how big his face is, he can't compare with Queen Ma.
Jiang Nan's real backer is the empress.
"Jiang Nan is the key to saving face for us women. She has both ability and political integrity, and is upright. If you dare not use her, I will never end with you!"
Faced with the threat of Empress Ma, Lao Zhu was so cowardly that he gave Jiang Nan the Shangshu without any hesitation.
Lao Zhu also had some calculations in his heart. Business is very complicated, and there are many hidden things in it.
In the choice of Shangshu, in addition to having both ability and political integrity, he must also have the least entanglement with all parties, and be able to pursue the country with a public heart.
On this point, Jiang Nan is even more reliable than Zhang Ximeng.
As a female official, she is destined not to be able to collude with other people. As Zhang Ximeng's wife, no one dares to form a party with her for personal gain.After all the calculations, Jiang Nan was almost the most detached and most unbridable person in the entire Ming Dynasty.
A new Ministry of Commerce is established, and if this person is not allowed to be a minister, who else?
If it wasn't for the fear of provoking the princes of Zhongshu Province, Lao Zhu even planned to give Jiang Nan the title of participating in political affairs.
But even without this title, just being Zhang Ximeng's wife is scary enough.
Jiang Nan was in Zhongshu Province, as long as he insisted on doing everything according to the rules and discussing the matter, a group of old guys were already overwhelmed and overwhelmed.
You will feel ashamed when you say that you are not as capable as Jiang Nan. After all, you are too incompetent to compare to women.
But if he is much stronger than Jiang Nan, suppressing this Jiang Shangshu everywhere is not a good thing, bullying women, what a hero!
Anyway, neither the left nor the right can get good words!
And in fact, it is impossible for them to crush Jiang Nan.
Don't forget that as Zhang Ximeng's wife, many government affairs arrangements, the enactment of laws and regulations over the years, what are the considerations, what is the purpose, what is the process in between... Jiang Nan is very clear, even better than many ministers .
In short, Jiang Nan is a transcendent existence that cannot be bribed, cannot be offended, cannot be compared in ability, and cannot win in debates.
She stayed in Zhongshu Province for a day, and from Li Shanchang to all ministers, none of them could feel comfortable.
The last person everyone hated was Di Qing!
In his capacity as a military supporter, relying on his military exploits, he was promoted little by little, reaching the high position of a privy envoy, becoming a role model for the world's humble children, and a national idol of the Song Dynasty.
And Di Qing's combat exploits are quite interesting.
He rose up little by little during the battle with Li Yuanhao.
It goes without saying that Li Yuanhao rebelled and established Xixia, during which he slapped the faces of many famous officials of the Song Dynasty.Those virtuous ministers who are famous all over the world, the pillars of the country, have bruised noses and swollen faces, lost soldiers and lost generals, not to mention losing a large area of northwest land, and had to pay old coins, just asking for peace.
Just when the literati were collectively ashamed, a military man who was born in the army, relying on his loyalty and wisdom, blazed a trail in the darkness and gradually emerged.
In fact, Di Qing is not that disgusting at the moment, and some civil servants are even willing to promote and teach him, and regard him as a good tool.
But the next thing will be troublesome.
Nong Zhigao caused chaos, and the land in the south of the Lingnan was festering everywhere, and there was no cure.
Several military leaders and civilian officials, just as incompetent as they were when they dealt with Li Yuanhao, were beaten and fled in embarrassment.
At this time, the nightmare of being humiliated by Li Yuanhao struck again, in order to avoid the embarrassment of paying another year coin to avoid the appearance of a "Xixia" in Lingnan.
The Song Dynasty couldn't care less about the ancestral system of Wen Yuwu, so it could only send Di Qing to fight and let Wufu lead the army.
But it was this trick that played a decisive role.
Di Qing led the army, successfully pacified Nong Zhigao, and Desheng returned triumphantly.
After the Lingnan Rebellion was put down, Di Qing returned to Kaifeng with his military exploits, and was promoted to a privy envoy to take charge of military affairs.
At this moment, Di Qing will inevitably become a thorn in the side of all civil servants, a thorn in the flesh.
His existence always reminds people of the disgraceful history of some so-called famous ministers.
His military exploits again illustrate the absurdity of letting literati lead the army and suppressing warriors.
He sits in the Privy Council. If he really makes great achievements again and destroys Xixia, then the sky will collapse, the earth will sink, and the civilization of scholar-bureaucrats will come to an end.
At this point, Di Qing must be destroyed.
Because of the dire consequences of destroying Di Qing, the Great Song Dynasty might come to an end.
But if Di Qing is not destroyed, the consequences will be even worse, and the good days of scholar-bureaucrats will be gone.
The lesser of two evils, we can only watch Di Qing be wiped out.
Then Liuyi Layman Ouyang Xiu made a move. As the leader of the Shilin who went to nine out of ten gongs, Ouyang Xiu was quite kind, saying that Di Qing had no major faults, but that he was not suitable to stay in the position of privy envoy.
The absurdity of this matter is almost like Yue Fei's unwarranted rehearsal in advance.
What has never been seen before and what is unfounded, what a descendant, how similar it is!
When Zhang Ximeng was compiling the history of the Song Dynasty, the public case about Di Qing was a very important place for him to write, and he even put it together with Wen Yanbo's sentence of sharing the world with the scholar-bureaucrats, not sharing the world with the common people.
Zhang Ximeng said bluntly that the scholars of Zhao and Song Dynasties did not want to share the world with the emperor, but valued themselves more than the world.
