Chapter 213 Unifying the Thoughts of Monarch and Subject
South Zhili.
As soon as the so-called real culprit behind the framing of pro-military guards and slandering Yuan Fu Zhang Juzheng was arrested and brought to justice, a large-scale movement of rent reduction and interest rate reduction and strike demands for processing money took place.
Therefore, the report received by the imperial court was that, on the one hand, some officials said that the rebellion had been quelled, and asked for an end to the crackdown;
"Nanjing Hu Kedu gave a report to Gao Hongxu in the matter, saying that there has been no civil uprising in Nanzhi, and the so-called pro-military guards burned, killed and raped. Therefore, I ask the court to abolish the patrol team and let it return to the field."
"And Sun Guangyou, the governor of Yingtian, sent an urgent report, saying that the civil uprising in Nanzhi is happening again, all of which are to demand rent reduction and interest rate reduction, as well as processing money."
At this time, Zhu Yijun read the two chapters and began to talk, and looked at Zhang Juzheng and said, "What do you think of this matter, sir?"
"Returning to Your Majesty, since the civil uprising has not completely disappeared, the patrol team should not be abolished yet. It should be ordered to continue to maintain the tranquility of Nanzhi to ensure the safe transportation of tax, money, and food to the capital, and to avoid another chaos in Nanzhi."
"However, since the Governor of Yingtian made it clear that the civil uprising did not cause riots, and there were no incidents of beating, smashing, looting, burning, killing, and looting, then the decree that all violations of the law in Wu should be regarded as rebels can be withdrawn, and Let Hai, Sun and others clear up public grievances and carefully examine public opinion, so as to get the people back to farming and work as soon as possible!"
At this moment Zhang Juzheng turned back with his arms folded.
Zhu Yijun nodded: "Shut up! Approve red according to this."
Zhang Siwei and Yang Zhao, who were also in the imperial court, couldn't help but glanced at each other, and then their disappointed expressions were hard to hide.
When Gu Xiancheng and others found out about the intention of criticizing the red, Gu Xiancheng also looked disappointed, and said to Li Zhi and others: "We were completely teased by Jiangling and Haigangfeng!"
"Who would have thought that he, Hai Rui, had already prepared this move to stir up trouble among the people!"
Bang!
Gu Xiancheng suddenly punched the table.
Li Sancai sighed and said: "You should have thought of it earlier, Hai Rui is no better than other officials, and he is popular in Nanzhi."
"It's not surprising that Hai Rui would do this; the point is, no one thought that Jiang Ling would support Hai Rui in doing this!"
Gu Xiancheng said.
At this time, Li Zhi asked from the side: "Could it be because the Huguang gang dug his father's grave that he completely hated us gentry?"
"What does what those people in Huguang do have anything to do with us in Nanzhi?!"
"Is he so heartless in Jiangling? Because of such an incident, all the gentry in the world hate him, and let those tenants and hired workers play such a fool in front of the gentry, making the etiquette go bad?"
"Isn't he worried that his Zhang family's tenants will do the same?!"
Gu Xiancheng asked angrily.
"Don't forget, not long ago, the regulations promulgated by the Xiaomiao Temple that hiring workers against their employers is like treason have been abolished!"
Li Sancai reminded at this time.
"That shouldn't really make Hai Rui do this!"
"Organize common people such as tenant farmers and hired workers to make troubles, to make trouble for the people, and to make the gentry lose their dignity. Why doesn't he, Zhang Juzheng, directly organize a group of common people to make trouble before His Majesty!"
Gu Xiancheng continued to speak helplessly.
"I don't know what Jiangling thinks, abolishing such a good governance in the Xiaomiao Temple!"
"Still doing this now, he really wants to practice the idea that the people are the most important!"
Li Zhi also followed suit.
Li Sancai said, "It doesn't necessarily mean Jiang Ling."
Gu Xiancheng said: "Whether it is Jiang Ling's meaning or not, it must be regarded as Jiang Ling's meaning now! As long as Jiang Ling is still in that position, it is impossible to be sure. If you really want everyone to be friends, or you have to be so stupid that you only trust Zhang Jiangling, so let Jiangling do whatever he wants, so that Jiangling can coerce the emperor and order the world!"
Li Zhi and Li Sancai all nodded after hearing this.
Li Sancai even said bitterly: "If Jiangling is not eliminated, the truth behind him will be unclear for a day!"
……
"Hai Rui did this under my order."
"I gave him a decree for him to implement at his discretion, but I didn't tell Mr. Yu about this decree because I was worried that Mr. Yu might not want me to instruct Hai Rui to organize the common people to fight against the gentry. "
"After all, based on my understanding of Mr., Mr. doesn't want to see common people threaten gentry."
Qianqing Palace, Xinuang Pavilion.
Zhu Yijun summoned Zhang Juzheng alone after Hai Rui mobilized the people of Nanzhi to ask the big landlords to reduce rent, interest and processing money, and brought up the matter.
He knew that Zhang Juzheng must have many doubts and puzzles about this matter.
And Zhu Yijun wanted to tell Zhang Juzheng the facts, and take a look at Zhang Juzheng's reaction by the way, so as to make the next plan.
Zhang Juzheng didn't show much surprise after hearing this, and said:
"I dare not hide it from Your Majesty. I have doubts. What He Xinyin said must have influenced His Majesty. His Majesty must have listened to what they said in the imperial prison."
Zhu Yijun nodded.
Then, Zhu Yijun said: "This is because the master wants me to be Yao and Shun, but what is Yao and Shun, this is too vague, and there is no clear standard."
"If you say that you can make the country prosperous and the people safe, you are the king of Yao and Shun. What is the standard of people's safety? Is it enough not to be safe and starve to death, or not to starve to death in the Tao?"
As Zhu Yijun spoke, he asked about Zhang Juzheng.
Zhang Juzheng thought for a while and said: "Since your majesty asks this, I dare to ask your majesty, does your majesty disdain to be the king of Yao and Shun?"
After a while, Zhu Yijun nodded.
Zhang Juzheng took a deep breath, and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty is a person with his own thoughts!"
"It's not that I don't want to be Yao and Shun, but that Yao and Shun's achievements in making Tang are too vague!"
"If you talk about the territory, the territory of this dynasty is wider than them; if you talk about the population, the population of this dynasty is larger than them; if you talk about the happiness of the people, at some point, many of them are still drinking blood."
"What's more, they can't be called real emperors. After all, their system at that time was different from what it is now. The real emperors began to become the real lords of the world from the first emperor."
"But I don't know what the first emperor asked of himself, and what kind of emperor he thought was the real wise king."
"And I want to set such a standard, and ask myself first, and hope that the emperors of future generations will refer to it!"
"First, there must be a standard for the territory; second, there must be a standard for the population; and most importantly, there must be a standard for the degree of wealth and respect of the people in the country."
Zhu Yijun said at this point: "That's easy to define. In terms of territory, I haven't recovered Hetao yet! I can't compare with the emperors of the Ming Dynasty before the Xiao Temple; in terms of population, they are stronger than Taizu "As for the wealth and respect of the people, sir, do you think I can compare with Tang Taizong and Tang Gaozong?"
"What His Majesty said is really deafening and shocking, and I can't tell whether it is right or wrong for a while. As for the answer, it is obvious that His Majesty does not need to ask the minister, and has already figured out the answer by himself."
"The minister, the rotten Confucian, is really not as talented as Your Majesty, but he is good at asking questions with unique insights. In the past, I only knew that Yao and Shun were the holy masters and benevolent monarchs. This is what scholars have always expected to appear. Is it not the same as Yao and Shun? There will be judgment."
Zhang Juzheng laughed as he spoke: "Your Majesty mentioned standards just now. Now think about it according to Your Majesty. The standards for scholars to judge who is the Holy Lord and Renjun are general, even inconsistent, and even quite narrow. Once you are kind to yourself, you will be a benevolent monarch, regardless of whether you are benevolent to other people in the world."
"Sir, you are being modest. You are born as a child prodigy, how could you be a rotten Confucian? Some of my opinions, I think you will know what I mean when you hear them!"
"However, what Mr. said just now is also true. There is a saying in "Han Shu": "Learn to learn from the ancients, and seek truth from facts." Naturally, I am willing to be the holy master and benevolent monarch in Mr.'s mind, but the standard of the holy master and benevolent monarch, we must Seek truth from facts!"
"To be precise, this is the way to govern the country and study, and to formulate standards and requirements that meet the actual situation. For example, what level of territory, population, and people's wealth must be reached within a few years? If it cannot be achieved, it should be summarized. Let’s take a look at the reasons, if it is achieved, it means that I meet the standard of the Holy Lord and a benevolent monarch, and future generations should not give me such an ugly temple name because of this.”
Zhu Yijun said.
"Seek truth from facts."
Zhang Juzheng muttered a sentence, and then said: "What your majesty said today has shocked me too much, and it is difficult for me to digest it for a while, so please give me a period of time, let me take care of it, maybe it will really improve the power of governing the country." The way is clearer, and His Majesty Li and future generations will rule in the future."
"I'm ready!"
"The unified way of governing the country is very important!"
"Especially my husband and I must unite first before we can talk about unifying the thoughts of other bureaucrats, so that the New Deal will not be a flash in the pan!"
Zhu Yijun nodded and said with a smile.
