Chapter 274 Imperial Party, New Ritual!

Chapter 274 Imperial Party, New Ritual!

Lao Kan lowered his head and replied: "The minister only thought about not offending the dignitaries and dignitaries, and forgot the four characters of the community!"

As Lao Kan spoke, he pursed his lips and wanted to cry.

Zhu Yijun ignored him, but looked at Dingguo Gong Xu Wenbi and Xining Hou Song Shien: "You guys are so smart!"

After saying that, Zhu Yijun turned around and walked into the hall: "Duke Ding and Marquis of Xining will be killed directly with their trousers and sticks, so there is no need to behead them, for the sake of their ancestors and me."

"As for Dingguogong's family, like Chengguogong, they were lowered to the rank of marquis. Except for the acres of land given by Taizu and Chengzu, all family properties were confiscated."

"The same is true for the Marquis of Xining. He was reduced to the rank of uncle. Except for the acres of land bestowed by the Taizu and Chengzu, all family properties were confiscated."

Zhu Yijun turned to look at Xu Wenbi and Song Shien after speaking, and said:

"It is still necessary to explain in the imperial decree to deal with them: I will not destroy their family and not let their heads be separated because their ancestors are all founding fathers!"

"But how many generations can the legacy of the ancestors protect? How many times can you descend from a prince to a commoner? And if the descendants have been unworthy, ignorant of loyalty, and destroyed the country, how can the newly established dynasty recognize the old meritorious deeds of the previous dynasty and still show benevolence? ?”

"Think about it!"

Zhang Hong, the eunuch who was in charge of the official seal, clapped his hands and said yes.

Qi Jiguang, Ma Gui and other new nobles all nodded their heads slightly after listening, as if they were remembering Zhu Yijun's words, and looked at Zhu Yijun with more respect, instead of beheading Yang Sizhi and Chu Hehe just now. Yigui was so shocked.

Xu Wenbi and Song Shi'en had no choice but to thank them, but they hoped that the emperor would spare their own lives, but they dared not speak out, so they continued to cry.

"As for the others, let the three courts deal with them according to the law."

After Zhu Yijun said another word, he sat back on the dragon chair and looked at the courtiers in front of him.

Snapped!

Snapped!

Snapped!

At this time, Xu Wenbi and Song Shien had already started beating outside.

"what!"

"what!"

And Xu Wenbi and Song Shien also screamed.

However, because the two of them were not executed outside the hall, but were dragged outside, their voices were not very loud and did not affect the speech inside the hall.

Here, Zhu Yijun was also talking to Fang Fengshi, Qi Jiguang, Wang Guoguang, Zeng Xingwu, Zhang Xueyan, Shen Shixing, Ma Gui, etc. amidst the subtle voices of the stick.

Most of these are famous officials in the early years of Wanli in history, regardless of whether they are civil servants or generals.

Because Zhu Yijun insisted on not falling, they could continue to listen to the government in front of the imperial court, instead of leaving the court sadly like most of them in history.

"You must also be very clear now, it's not because I'm not benevolent, nor because I don't understand, but because the current situation makes it impossible for me not to kill people."

"I have three virtues: compassion, frugality, and not daring to be the first in the world;"

"The words of this Taoist school can still be tasted, and there is also a place to understand the scriptures! It's no wonder that Shimiao believes in it."

When Zhu Yijun said this, Fang Fengshi and other party members couldn't help feeling tense.

"What are you nervous about!"

"I will not really get tired of the government because of a group of greedy people, and I will no longer believe in the principles of saints, and abandon the world. In the name of advocating Taoism and doing nothing, I will not ask the people of the country."

Seeing this, Zhu Yijun said something first.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Yijun continued: "But I have also been instructed by my husband. I did not dare to act recklessly in everything, but went against others' words! I also did not dare to fulfill my desires before all sentient beings, and I am willing to give in."

At this point, Zhu Yijun emphasized his tone: "But someone told me that there is no way to retreat, and I want to be benevolent by deceiving me."

As Zhu Yijun spoke, he leaned forward, looked at Fang Fengshi and the others, and said with a smile, "What do you think I should do?"

Then, Zhu Yijun said: "When you wear this crown, you have to bear the weight of the world. Because of the weight of the world, you have to kill people! Unless I don't wear this crown, I really go to the mountains to become a Taoist priest, or I shave my hair off." If you have three thousand worries, go and chant sutras too!"

"This is all the crime of the ministers and others. They failed to do their best to make the father fall into such a place!"

At this moment, Shen Shixing prostrated himself on the ground, choked up and said something.

"Get up and talk."

Zhu Yijun glanced at Shen Shixing.

"Yes!"

"That's right, not only did he fail to do his best, but he also has a heart of peace. He only knows how to be wise and protect himself, and forgets the righteousness of the monarch and ministers!"

Wang Guoguang also stood up and spoke at this time, and looked at Fang Fengshi: "Rao is the third gentleman, but he only has the courage to return it, and he has no heart to keep his will!"

"Could it be that after the death of the grand master, the system will not be changed?!"

"Could it be that after His Majesty came to power, he never followed the public?!"

"Could it be that just because the emperor is benevolent and the officials are not benevolent, do you dare to bully the emperor and dare not rebel against the officials?!"

After Wang Guoguang asked three times, Fang Fengshi couldn't help but blush.

"His Majesty!"

At this time, Zhang Xueyan stood up, cupped his hands and said:

"The prince's words are really hurtful! At least I have no intention of retreating from Gou'an, let alone knowing that there are greedy people who want to take advantage of the opportunity to liquidate the grand master and want to engage in party disputes, and steal all the wealth of the ministers and other families. Waiting for your life, even if you don't know this, the minister did not want to abandon the king!"

"Although the Grand Master is dead, His Majesty is the ruler of the world. What's more, Your Majesty has upheld the rites of the ancestors, honored the Taishi's behest, and has the heart of the emperor to support the people. I will do my best for His Majesty, after all, I am not Zhang's party, but the party of His Majesty's ministers!"

Zhu Yijun nodded.

At this time, Zhang Hong has brought many chapters.

Zhu Yijun said to Zhang Hong: "Show me the one who impeached Zhang Aiqing, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs."

Zhang Hong said yes.

And Zhu Yijun took advantage of Zhang Hong's vacancy and said: "After Mr. left, it is normal for Zhu Qing to have a mentality of wanting to retreat or to be punished. Since ancient times, seeking perfection will destroy. How can I not forgive me for a small mistake? What's more, It is also because you have not understood the holy will that you don't know what to do. But now you should be clear that I have inherited the teachings of Mr. Zhang, learned the rites of saints, and want to achieve the ambition of great harmony in the world. , the sun and the moon can learn from each other!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Yijun pointed to those bullets and said: "In these bullets, not only impeachments you know, but also many things you don't know. It is said that you, Liang Menglong, bought imperial forbidden items privately through Feng Bao, etc., not to list them all."

Both Wang Zuan and Liang Menglong were shocked at this moment.

Zhu Yijun said: "The cabinet dare not make up these bullets, and I haven't dealt with them yet, but I asked Jin Yiwei to investigate them. They are non-existent things. I will keep and deal with the non-existent bullets, but the evidence is conclusive. Looking at it, most of them are just like what Zhang Xueyan said, they are caused by people's hearts in the current situation, and they can be forgiven or punished lightly."

"but!"

"I have to tell you at this time, in my eyes, there is no party, they are all my ministers, you can't really lose your vigor just because the husband is old, although the husband can no longer clean up the aftermath for you People, but I can personally clean up the aftermath for the ministers!"

"My lord, here's Da Sinong's bullet."

Zhang Hong walked over at this time and said back.

"The ones that have evidence and those that are rumored by Zhu Zhu are all thrown into the furnace and burned! Including the copy of the Sixth Division or the Metropolitan Procuratorate, not just Zhu Ben. It is framed and no Zhu Pi kept it to deal with the speaker!"

Zhu Yijun said.

Zhang Xueyan's eyes became hot for a moment.

At this time, Liang Menglong, who advocated the opening of shipping in history, stood up:

"Qizuo Your Majesty, the minister is guilty! The minister is actually not the party of the grand master, but the minister of your majesty. How can you be discouraged because of the grand master and want to ignore the affairs of the king? I beg you to forgive me, and I will serve as your majesty's dog and horse." labor!"

"Burn Liang Qing's too, don't save it!"

Seeing this, Zhu Yijun said directly.

Zeng Xingwu also got up at this time and said: "Your Majesty is very kind, today he did not hesitate to call the ministers to watch the punishment, and the envoys learned that the so-called internal affairs line is like two armies confronting each other, and there is no way to retreat! Fortunately, Your Majesty is rare in the ages A sage, who cares about the words of the world and protects his ministers, how can the ministers appreciate the emperor's heart again?"

"The old minister also dare not have the intention of stealing life. If your majesty wants the minister to die, the minister will not dare to live; if the majesty wants to change the system, the minister will not follow the old way!"

"Hold high the grand master's will, and protect the ancestral temple and the country for His Majesty!"

"Burn Zeng Qing's too!"

Then, Wang Zuan also got up and said: "Fortunately, Your Majesty is so benevolent and benevolent as heaven, the minister can live, and he should serve the king with all his heart!"

Zhu Yijun ordered someone to burn Wang Zuan's as well.

"How can your majesty form a selfish party? What will you do with such a minister in the future? Is it your majesty's domestic slave or a scholar-bureaucrat?"

At this time, Shu Jing, the right servant of the Ministry of Industry, suddenly got up and asked.

Zhu Yijun looked at him, and suddenly ordered: "Immediately criticize Shu Shilang's bullets that have lost the project funds, and set them as hang-ups!"

Then, Min Xindao, the vice capital censor, got up and said: "How can your majesty make a decision without going through the three courts? Wouldn't it be unfair? And what your majesty is doing now is suspected of party protection. What's more, after the death of the grand master, there is no It is necessary to touch the roots of the ancestors again."

"Delegate Vice-Xian Min's bribery to Governor Li Jiang, and criticize him immediately, and make it a stranglehold!"

Seeing this, Min Xindao shouted after being dragged down: "Your Majesty! You are crowding out dissidents. How can you lose your sense of proportion?"

Shu Jing also shouted after being dragged down: "Your Majesty, you can't take revenge directly because the ministers don't attach to you. Are you going to tell the truth and the king's law just because the ministers refuse to do so?! Your Majesty, This is not fair!"

Zhu Yijun ignored Shu Jing, and only looked at Zhang Xueyan and the others: "I am the lord of the world, I have no selfishness, and everything I do is public, and the so-called things that seem to be not public are actually public!"

"Your Majesty said yes!"

"Recently, I have been entrusted by the Imperial Academy to study the knowledge of the Taishi, and I realized that administration should be pragmatic, that is, 'study the ancients well, and seek truth from facts'!"

"As the great prince of the country and the nation, we must follow the reality. Now, His Majesty is doing this to forgive some people's crimes for the sake of the public, and it is also to seek justice for the crimes of some people for the sake of the public. As for the so-called party, there is loyalty when there is a party. There are parties, ministers and others who choose to be loyal to His Majesty and practice the most fair way in the world, even if they form a party, they form a public party!"

Shen Li stood up at this moment and spoke up.

"Good!"

Zhu Yijun applauded, and said: "The Book of Rites says: the way of the great way, the world is public; from my point of view, one party should be established as the public party, which is the party I recognize, and it is also an imperial party, and the world does not follow it." Those who follow this path are not our party!"

"Since your Majesty said so, in my humble opinion, rites are public, but now that the old rites are difficult to be public, we should establish new rites!"

"If you want to set up a public party, you have to make the world a public new ritual!"

"And as Xueshi Shen said, since we want to follow the words of the grand master and proceed from reality, after the prosperity of commerce and the opening of the sea, and after going abroad, such as the education of foreigners stationed in foreign countries, a new set of etiquette is needed to establish the norms!"

"But the old rituals are not enough to analyze, why not wait for him to come to the court, why not send the king's teacher to take the initiative to preach, and even sign a contract to establish a new order;"

"Just like at present, because it is difficult to prohibit public opinion, the trade opened by the previous emperor's dynasty should also require new rituals to establish order, because if the old rituals are used, it is only waiting for them to come to the court, and there is no discussion on whether they will come to China for trade."

"What's more, there are even many old rites that are an obstacle to the court's practice of the Dagong's way of benevolent government and love for the people. For example, if parents drown their babies, how can they not punish their parents because of the old rites?"

Yu Youding also started talking at this time.

"Old rituals, new rituals, a new order needs to be established now!"

Zhu Yijun laughed: "Very well, as expected, I didn't protect you in vain, Zhu Qing is the minister of the country after all!"
