Chapter 293 Please Sentence the Great Punishment!

Although, since Zhang Juzheng's death, most of the ministers in the court are struggling to liquidate Zhang Juzheng and preserve Zhang Juzheng's reputation, and they are all guessing about whether the New Deal will be abolished or not.

But Zhu Yijun has been paying attention to the external situation.

He knew that Daming's current external environment was not peaceful.

And if you have been only obsessed with internal fighting, you will aggravate the external crisis in the future, and in turn, the exacerbated external crisis will affect the internal.

According to the news from the Jinyiwei sent by Zhu Yijun to countries outside the southwest such as Myanmar, Zhu Yijun has confirmed that the Taungoo Dynasty in Myanmar is indeed rising strongly, and under the rule of the new monarch, it is expanding wildly and has become the southwestern part of the Ming Dynasty. A very restless force outside the border.

According to Jin Yiwei, at present, the Toungoo Dynasty is indeed preparing to annex Yunnan of the Ming Empire.

Moreover, today's Toungoo Dynasty, relying on the vast and rich farmland in the Lishui (Irrawaddy) River Basin, already has an estimated population of 600 million, which is several times larger than the total population of the Ming Empire in Yunnan of more than 200 million.

It can be said that compared with the Taungoo Dynasty, the strength of the Ming Dynasty in the southwestern border area is already inferior to that of Myanmar.

The Toungoo Dynasty itself has already posed a great threat to the border of Ming Dynasty.

You must know that in history, the Hou Jin regime, which posed a huge threat to the northeast border of Ming Dynasty, did not have such a large population.

Of course, in history, the national power of the early Wanli period was not comparable to that of the later Wanli period. Therefore, although the Toungoo Dynasty invaded Ming Dynasty in history, it did not really annex Yunnan.

But in the history of Ming Dynasty, it did lose a lot of benefits because of its invasion.

Turn the words back.

Because he attaches great importance to external crises, Zhu Yijun first mentioned the war against Liaodong and Burma after he came to Zhengshitang.

Liang Menglong stood up and said yes after Zhu Yijun gave such instructions.

"The rebels in the Northeast are not dead, and the barbarians in the Southwest covet our territory and people's property. But what are the gentry in this dynasty doing?"

After Zhu Yijun instructed the military arrangements, he changed the subject and talked about Wu Zhongxing and others.

"In the past, Wang Jixian, Wei Yunzhen, Yang Keli, Jiang Dongzhi, Yang Sizhi and other officials chattered endlessly, insisting on liquidating my husband, wanting to make my virtue of emphasizing education and respecting teachers greatly damaged, and to be named as a ruthless and ungrateful king! "

"Later, Wu Zhongxing, Zhao Yongxian, etc. used money to buy off bureaucrats, intending to overthrow the New Deal, and even fanned the flames among the people, so that his believers still cried in the temple and refused to take the exam, and even refused to say anything about the exam. In order to achieve the goal of preventing the smooth progress of the national talent promotion ceremony, we will not hesitate to commit thieves!"

Zhu Yijun touched his chest when he said this: "How could the scholar-bureaucrats of this dynasty have such people who have no national righteousness! My heart really hurts!"

Shen Shixing, Pan Sheng and others all lowered their heads, and Zhang Siwei choked up even more: "I owe the emperor's kindness, and I owe the common people of the country!"

"There are so many civil servants and scholars who have been favored by the court for so many years. They can't treat them with loyalty to the country, and can't treat them with kindness to the people."

"In the long run, what will the holy pilgrimage be?"

Zhu Yijun continued to speak here very seriously, and at the same time continued to characterize a series of recent events.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun said: "Wu Zhongxing, Zhao Yongxian and others have violated the emperor's constitution by seizing their feelings, but they don't know how to repent, and they don't know how to be grateful when they go to the place. He is a Han and cannot be cut, but he should be severely punished!"

"Scholars such as Shen Tao, Qin Hongzhi and others cried at the temple to confuse the scholars to give up the exam, but they not only gave up the exam, but also wanted to abandon the country and the king, and they did not allow others to refer to them. The orphans of the loyal and strong must be slaughtered for the sake of being a sycophant!"

"Is it tolerable or unbearable?!"

Suddenly, Zhu Yijun got up and yelled.

Zhang Siwei and other ministers in power also stood up and said in unison: "I will listen to the hadith respectfully!"

"Those who prevent others from quitting the exam, want to spoil the court's grand ceremony of talent, and even commit thieves are all regarded as disrupting the national policy and trying to seek misconduct, and they should also be punished with great punishment!"

"In addition, those who make their clans have fame and fame will write self-criticisms and express their attitudes to me. If their attitudes are not sincere, the clan will be banned from taking the imperial examinations for three generations!"

"As for those who were arrested for criticizing the New Deal and the Grand Master."

When Zhu Yijun said this, he looked at the ruling minister present:

"What do you think, how should we deal with it?"

Zhang Siwei hurriedly said at this time: "Go back to Your Majesty, and you will be severely punished!"

"Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate!"

At this time, Shen Shixing suddenly said something.

Then, Shen Shihang cupped his hands to Zhu Yijun and said:

"Qizou Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, it is advisable to be strict on the outside and be lenient on the inside for those who just disrespect the New Deal and the Grand Master in speech!"

"External strictness is because correcting wrongs must first be corrected, so as to unify the dissenting opinions of wrongs;"

"The internal leniency is to prevent the disputes between the party and the party after being over-corrected, and then make public avengers take the opportunity to form a trend of false accusations and force others to admit that they have criticized the New Deal."

"Your Majesty, I think what Elder Shen Ge said is true!"

"As for how to deal with it."

"In my opinion, what Your Majesty said just now, ordering offenders, scholars and clans with meritorious official positions to review, is a very wise and measured method in itself!"

"The old minister believes that the critics can be detained in the Imperial Prison to reflect for ten or half a month, and at the same time write a review and publish it in the "Di Bao" to reflect on their own mistakes. If the reflection is good, they will not be held accountable. New; if you do not reflect well, you will lose your reputation!"

Pan Sheng also put forward his own opinion at this time, and it was obviously consistent with Shen Shihang.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the scholars who criticize the New Deal and the Grand Master are indeed indistinguishable whether they are bewitched or because they have not fully realized their ambitions. The imperial court is now strictly arresting them. It is not to allow others to speak."

"If the treatment is also strict, there is a risk of destruction if you seek perfection. It is true that you should be lenient on the outside and strict on the inside."

At this time, Yu Youding also got up and echoed.

Zhang Siwei glanced at the two new cabinet ministers, and then said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, the minister may not have thought carefully enough."

Zhu Yijun glanced at Zhang Siwei, and then said: "What the two lovers said is reasonable. For those who have not committed criminal cases, they can be strict on the outside and lenient on the inside, so we will deal with it according to this agreement!"

"But one thing to add is that those who reflect on their own mistakes will have to be detained for a month, and the department will arrange with Jin Yiwei to work for a month, so that they can understand the difficulties of farming. In this way, perhaps the court can more thoroughly save those who are bewitched or only An ignorant scholar who knows nothing!"

Zhang Siwei, Shen Shixing and others said yes.

At this time, Xu Xuemo, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, said: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, family ugliness should not be publicized, and the country is the same. Wu Zhongxing and Zhao Yongxian have disappointed His Majesty. The ceremonies of the scholars in our Celestial Dynasty may affect the hearts of the barbarians, so I think that it is not necessary to ask about the death penalty, but to deal with it with other matters?"

Then, Yan Qing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, also said: "Wu, Zhao and others are arrogant, and the crime is undeniable."

"But the ministers look up to your Majesty's light and the sun and the moon, the same as the heaven and the earth, and the mere exile of the little ministers and ignorant scholars is not enough to blaspheme the power of the thunder. Rather than envoys and others being raped and slandered, please don't act rashly. To make the world Knowing that your majesty has a benevolent heart of forgiveness, can you not kill him, but just serve him with the imperial staff?"

"When did the Siyi become obedient because the scholar-bureaucrats of this dynasty knew how to be courteous?"

"Do barbarians from all over the world really know the rituals? If they know the rituals, how can they still plunder other countries without cultivating internal virtues?"

Zhu Yijun asked in a deep voice.

"The minister made a slip of the tongue!"

Xu Xuemo immediately bowed to the ground.

Zhu Yijun looked at Yan Qing and other officials again: "I regard you as a minister, but how can you only look good on the outside, and would rather harm the country's prestige?"

Then, Zhu Yijun looked down at the crowd again: "I know that Zhuqing still has the idea that Wu, Zhao and other civil officials and scholars are different from the common people, but you feel that if I give Zhuqing face and then grant a favor, they will Do you really appreciate it?"

"Your Majesty! I believe that Wu, Zhao and others should be punished!"

"Where there are laws that cannot be lenient, the violations committed by Wu, Zhao, etc. are the laws that cannot be lenient."

Liang Menglong immediately got up and said.

Yan Qing also changed his words: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for not thinking well!"
