I'm really not doing business

Chapter 409: The first cavalry with all firearms in history

People are people, I am me, people exist naturally, not God’s servants, let alone anyone’s vassals. This is the most basic humanistic thought.

"Yi Xu Gua" says: There is heaven and earth, and then there are all things. There are all things and then there are men and women. There are men and women and then there are couples. There are couples and then there are fathers and sons.

"Zhuangzi Zhibeiyou" said: "The life of a person is the gathering of Qi. When gathering, it is life, when it disperses, it is death."

Human beings are born from parents and are natural beings. It is not God who has given us a mission to come to the world to suffer.

The Gods and Changshengtian mentioned by the Ming Dynasty and Beilu are invisible rules that exist in all things, time and space. This is nature, and the power of nature is greater than individuals. Through hard work and exploration, people can seek harmony with nature. The way to survive is to obey nature, so there are the laws of heaven, earth, and the four seasons proposed by Guanzi, as well as what Xunzi said in "Fu Guo": All things have the same universe but different bodies, and they are not suitable but useful for human beings.

Hundreds of schools of thought in the pre-Qin period, on the one hand, advocated the unstoppable power of nature; on the other hand, they pursued the spirit of "Controlling the destiny of heaven and using it in "Xunzi's Theory of Heaven", "Man's strength conquers nature, and man's determination conquers heaven" "Book of Zhou". From this point of view, They are indeed contradictory concepts, but Zhu Yijun, who is familiar with the theory of contradictions, can clearly understand the basic fact that contradictions are ubiquitous.

Zhu Yijun opened up the sea and built a grain import industry chain, which was also based on the idea that man can conquer nature. God would not let the people of Ming Dynasty live a good life, and Zhu Yijun would not.

Man is an independent individual. Zhu Yijun is the Son of Heaven and the spokesperson for such great forces as Heaven, God, Immortality, and Nature. However, he is very clear that he is not omnipotent. He always respects everyone in the Ming Dynasty relatively equally. Destiny, if you want to go against the will of heaven, you need ten thousand people to work hard.

The cavalry camp is a place where life is fought. The few elite cavalrymen will definitely appear where the empire needs them most. The danger is just like being the first to attack a city during a siege. In a fierce military conflict, there will definitely be someone. Towards death, the mortality rate in the cavalry camp must be greater than that in the foot camp.

The weather in May is not so hot yet.

The cavalry camp, in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, was the only weapon for galloping outside the Great Wall during the Hongwu and Yongle years. During the Hongwu period, there were 500,000 horses. By the Yongle period, there were five expeditions to Mobei. The Ming Dynasty had 720,000 horses. After the Tumubao Incident, the Ming Dynasty no longer had an organized cavalry.

In the end, Qi Jiguang won. This was not because of Li Rusong's understanding, but because of Qi Jiguang's style of play, which made Li Rusong a little confused.

A three-foot-three-inch knight's sword is completely sufficient. If you really encounter heavy armored cavalry and tens of thousands of fire blunderbuss fail to destroy the opponent's heavy cavalry, then you might as well retreat and replenish a round with a hammer. Gunpowder continues to be reliable against enemy attacks.

Because of the danger, Zhu Yijun fully followed the principle of voluntariness when selecting cavalry camps.

Tiehun armor, or plate armor, is actually very flexible. The Tiehun armor used by Zhu Yijun and Zhu Yiliu is a seamless iron armor, and even has cage hands, so it is not a problem to sing and dance Cuju.

Zhu Yijun stepped onto the general stage. The slightly hot summer wind blew the flags and the sound of trumpets and drums. As the emperor came on stage, they became quiet again. The adult Zhu Yijun was majestic, tough and soft. The contradictory temperaments of benevolence, masculinity and elegance are extremely harmonious in the emperor, and there is also a somewhat lamentable calmness that does not suit his age.

Three-quarters of the armor, helmet, neck guard, and breastplate are complete. The armor covers the entire upper body and the front half of the legs, up to the knees. This design ensures the safety of the cavalry to the greatest extent, and the reduction in weight can reduce logistics costs. pressure and expand the combat radius.

"Tie Hun Armor is completely different from what ordinary people think of being bulky. Compared with other armors, Tie Hun Armor weighs less than thirty kilograms. It meets the defense needs and is lighter at the same time." Qi Jiguang pointed to the Tie Hun Armor on the shelf. Knocked.

According to Zhu Yijun's previous plan, each cavalryman must carry a warhammer, which is specially used to open cans and destroy the opponent's heavy cavalry. The warhammer is three feet long, with a hook and rope, and the hammer head is a pointed hammer. With Zhu Yijun's With the strength, just one hammer blow on the pocket is enough to break through the defense.

Qi Jiguang had to lament that the all-firearms cavalry was entirely His Majesty's idea. At the beginning of the idea, everyone thought it was too bold, and even Qi Jiguang was opposed to it. However, as time went by, Qi Jiguang became clear that His Majesty's idea was by no means a mirror image. , step by step towards reality.

If I had known this day, I should have stopped His Majesty from practicing martial arts!

After the assassination of the king, the emperor coaxed and deceived Zhu Xixiao to become the emperor's martial arts teacher. At that time, everyone did not take it seriously. They all thought that the young majesty was frightened and lost his mind after the assassination, so he chose to study hard. Wu is more about winning over Tishuai.

Sitting on both sides of Wuying Tower were Zuo Wen and You Wu of the Ming Dynasty. Today, all officials of the Ming Dynasty came to the North Camp of the Ming Dynasty to witness the review of the cavalry.

As expected by Zhu Yijun, there were so many people who signed up for the riding camp that even the deputy commander-in-chief Li Rusong, Yang Wen and others in charge of the riding camp couldn't choose.

The most important role of the three-thousand-pound heavy artillery is the surprise attack of thousands of miles. The rapid march of thousands of miles of surprise attack and the attack of key targets all require the use of heavy firearms. The farther the raid, the more necessary the heavy firearms are. Feed on the enemy when necessary.

This kind of calmness does not belong to this age.

"The long and short gun has a yin and yang spiral inside. The long gun has three coins of gunpowder and can break armor in sixty steps. The short gun has two coins and three gunpowder and can break armor in thirty steps. They are all made of paper shell gunpowder." Qi Jiguang picked up the gunpowder. A fire blunderbuss was handed to His Majesty. Your Majesty comes to the capital camp every day and is very familiar with riding blunderbuss.

At that time, no one would have thought that His Majesty was serious about not doing his job properly. Practicing martial arts was extremely hard and painful. Without any talent, practicing martial arts successfully required great perseverance. But an emperor who was born a noble man would have such perseverance?

The Ming Dynasty had experience. When the last time Zhu Shaoguo was in doubt, the ancestral law of daily military parade was still there, but the young Ming Yingzong, let alone martial arts, even did not go to the military parade, and there was a good reason. The child is still young.

The Ming Dynasty's capital camp with 100,000 soldiers only spent 2 million silver a year, while the cavalry camp with 10,000 troops spent 3 million silver a year, which is equal to the cost of six late emperors' tombs. All expenditures were made in order to simplify the process. internal funds, and then internal funds and national funds continue to argue.

There are three cavalry battalions and ten thousand people. The scale is severely reduced compared to the early days of the country, but no one will question the powerful combat power of these ten thousand troops.

The side chariot, the nine-pound artillery, the mother-and-sonley cannon, the explosive bombs, and the wooden delay fuze are all old faces. The side chariot is a horse-drawn cart, and Li Rusong and Qi Jiguang also had a fierce battle over the assembly of the nine-pound artillery. After the dispute, Li Rusong felt that the cavalry, which was good at mobility, was carrying such a three-thousand-pound heavy artillery. It was really a waste of money, while Qi Jiguang believed that the necessary heavy firepower could effectively penetrate defenses and be conducive to tactical implementation. .

In the Wuying Building, Qi Jiguang and Li Rusong were walking in front. They wanted to introduce the configuration of the cavalry camp to His Majesty in detail.

A flintlock gun, a seventeen silver gun, ginseng iron from Benxi, Liaodong, and huanghuali wood from Qiongzhou. The output of ginseng iron from Liaodong is very small, and almost all of the output is sent to the War Bureau. Your Majesty is so frugal that he doesn't even use it in the palace. Huanghuali wood was used to make the pillars and furniture, all of which were used on the gun butts. The most important spring steel in the fusible structure came from the Xishan Coal Bureau, and the gun oil used to maintain the guns came from Ryukyu and Luzon.

The Ming Dynasty Cavalry stood there quietly and did not make any more movements, but some civil servants were restless, with nails under their buttocks, which made them extremely anxious. Many people looked at the solemn Cavalry, Already sweating profusely.

The dark cloud of assassinating the king and killing the emperor only ended when Zhang Siwei entered the Qieqi courtyard. No one wanted to be the one who stood out and opposed His Majesty's martial arts practice. They were all waiting for His Majesty to give up.

Zhu Yijun and Zhu Yili can use special iron armor because their horses are specially selected war horses. However, when they are deployed on a large scale, they can only choose to reduce the number of horses.

The birth of these three cavalry camps was entirely based on His Majesty's ability. For these ten thousand people, Your Majesty personally made peace with the Shah as the Supreme Lord of the World, and diplomatically with the Mughal Kingdom, the remnant of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. After establishing diplomatic relations, in the court, he rejected the advice of the officials and insisted on going his own way. In terms of finance, the three cavalry camps spent Zhu Yijun more than 3.2 million silver in two years.

Warhammers have no use environment and can break armor. Guns are easier to use than hammers, and the enemies of the Ming Dynasty do not have so many heavy armors. Their armors are as brittle as paper in front of firearms.

Your Majesty did not give up, Zhenwu became more and more vigorous, and today it finally came to fruition.

Zhu Yijun has always admitted that his military talent is not high. The Ming Dynasty's army fought in large-scale clusters, not scattered soldiers. The warhammer is indeed useful for opening cans, but it is not suitable for the current Ming Dynasty battlefield.

Customized packaging of gunpowder in paper shells sounds simple. It seems that just wrapping a certain amount of gunpowder in paper is enough. However, this is based on precision manufacturing. It has extremely high requirements for the accuracy of the caliber of the gun bore and the size of the lead. It cannot be exploded. The chamber must not be insufficiently powerful. The technical difficulty involved was that it took Ming craftsmen a full seven years to initially perfect the craftsmanship after Pingyi Gun came up with the idea of ​​custom mounting.

We have to stand against the sun and the moon.

More than ten thousand people stood on the school grounds, but it was so quiet, silent and solemn.

On the school field in front of Wuying Building, three cavalry battalions totaling 10,000 people stood on the school field. The well-trained and well-armored cavalry stood in front of the tall horses. They held the horses with one hand and held them together. Holding the helmet in one hand, all the armaments were placed on the horse.

After introducing the military equipment, Zhu Yijun led the ministers to the outside of Wuying Tower.

After the restoration, Ming Yingzong simply disbanded the capital camp, and it was not reorganized until the Chenghua period.

The enemy's food, grass and baggage were stored in the cities, and even Anda Khan was converted and built two cities.

Even the holster for the war hammer was ready, but was abandoned by the soldiers. The soldiers preferred to use it to hang their knives. This was determined by the battlefield environment.

What's more interesting is that there is only one glove, because the right hand needs to be filled with gunpowder. Whether it is made of cotton, linen, leather or steel, it greatly affects the filling of gunpowder. After the fierce reaction of the soldiers, only one glove is equipped. If you are left-handed, you can also change hands, which is very user-friendly.

"This should be the first cavalry with all firearms in history." Qi Jiguang stood in front of three suits of armor and said with some emotion: "Three cavalry battalions, with a strength of 10,500 people, a total of 35,000 One thousand flintlock muskets, 56,000 flintlock hand muskets, 524 side-chariots, 27 nine-pound cannons, and 1,200 twin-and-double cannons."

But when it is deployed on a large scale, inevitable problems arise. The high cost of iron armor, the quantity of steel is not enough to equip more than 10,000 people, and the weight of standard iron armor exceeds 35 kilograms. This is a A huge burden. For cavalry who travel long distances, the excessive quality of armor means greater consumption.

Zhu Yijun slowly stretched out his right hand and said calmly: "The Ming army is so powerful."

"Your Majesty is mighty! Your Majesty is mighty! Your Majesty is mighty!"

"The Ming army is mighty!"

"Report to the emperor, and save the head of Guizhou! Report to the emperor, and save the head of Guizhou!"

The soldiers shouted in unison, the sound shook the mountains and rivers, and soared into the sky. The Ming army showed its majesty.

Zhu Yijun looked at the cavalry and smiled. The two brothers Zhu Xixiao and Zhu Xizhong always talked about the Ming army's glory and power. Today, their expectations have finally come true.

Wang Chonggu leaned on the Taishi chair and looked at this scene with a smile on his face. He is a sycophant and a hypocrite. He will always be a hypocrite for the rest of his life. Being a hypocrite for a lifetime can also be regarded as a gentleman, right?

The fire blunderbuss and artillery barrels and barrels of the Ming Dynasty Cavalry Camp were all produced by the Xishan Coal Bureau. The establishment of the Ming Dynasty Cavalry Camp was completed by His Majesty’s edict, Zhang Juzheng took the order, and the six departments worked together. In terms of merit, , he, Wang Chonggu, got some credit and gained another holy favor.

Wang Chonggu was happy and decided to give Wang Qian some extra pocket money, one thousand taels more every month.

The drill of the riding camp was outside Beitucheng. Zhu Yijun came to the gate tower of Beitucheng and watched the entire drill. The horses brought up huge dust. The dust and smoke filled the entire hunting ground, and the sound of firearms was heard. The formation slightly blocked some lines of sight, but Zhu Yijun was still very, very satisfied.

Targets were erected one by one, targets were knocked down one by one, and all the flying birds were shot down by the Ming Dynasty cavalry without exception. The sound of horse hooves was like overwhelming mountains, smoke was billowing, and the sound of cannons was like thunder!

"Okay! Let's see the reward! Five silvers per person in the cavalry camp! Today we will reward the three armies." Zhu Yijun waved his hand, and more than 70,000 taels of silver went out. The cavalry camp was rewarded with 50,000 taels of silver, and it would cost more than 20,000 taels to reward the three armies at one time. silver.

Stingy and generous, both are Zhu Yijun. Zhu Yijun looked at the officials on the viewing platform, with some amusement in his eyes. He hoped that these officials could give him a little surprise. The opening of the sea in the Ming Dynasty was gradually deepening, and the huge profits from maritime trade were really moving. The Shipping Department of Daming City Drawing points and the Ming Dynasty's ban prevent Zheshe households from making money unscrupulously. Zhu Yijun hopes that the mouthpieces of these Zheshe households can jump out.

Killing chickens to scare monkeys requires continuous killing of those who dare to take the lead in order to deter the ambitions of Zheshe households.

But Zhu Yijun discovered more and more that the officials in the capital were as shrewd as the fish in the Taiye Pond. On the one hand, the emperor never showed mercy when it was time to take action. On the other hand, Hai Rui and Li Youzi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were fighting against corruption. , which made the officials in Jingtang even more cautious.

Hai Rui is not a cruel official, but what he does is completely cruel. How can he fight against corruption and pull the fourth-rank Shao Zhan Shi and Shao Qing out of bed in the middle of the night? The scholar-bureaucrat's face was thrown to the ground by Hai Rui, who rubbed him hard and spat a few times.

But there was no way to accuse Hai Rui, a moral model and moral saint, so Hai Rui became ruthless. Zhang Juzheng even dared to point this magic weapon directly at the emperor, but Zhang Juzheng knew how to use detours.

The last time he opened up the imperial reward, Hai Rui went to the Huangji Gate, persuaded the official of the Ministry of Education to leave, and went to the palace to ask the emperor to take back his orders.

Zhu Yijun looked at Wu Xun, and he was also a little angry. The Wu Xun of the Ming Dynasty was somewhat lazy, and he was a little indifferent to the formation of the cavalry camp. He couldn't pass the school, so he could only accept an indifferent job, telling the glory of his ancestors over and over again.

Under the viewing platform, there were still standing a group of officials of the fifth rank and below who were not qualified to sit down, as well as some Banyi envoys, and the third lady who came to Beijing to deliver wool was also among them. Their expressions were very complicated, and they were worried and fearful. And with some relief.

After the review of the cavalry camp was over, Zhu Yijun looked at Beida camp with some reluctance and got into the car.

Xiaohuangmen had already inspected the horse-drawn carriage many times, and Feng Bao walked around twice more before flicking his fly whisk and shouting loudly: "Leave the palace."

The horse-drawn carriage began to move forward, entering from Desheng Gate and entering the capital along the military road. Suddenly, the horse-drawn carriage slowly stopped because the Tiqi who was checking the track along the way heard that there was something going on in front of him, and the jade carriage was quickly stopped. After pushing it up, the larger wheels were installed on the axles. In less than three minutes, the car had turned onto another road and sped towards the palace!

Zhu Yijun asked about the situation quite excitedly. He thought someone had buried gunpowder on the track and was waiting for his car to drive by to arrange a massive assassination.

Zhu Yijun is wearing armor, and he can fight with the buckle on.

After Yu Dayou passed away, Zhu Yijun became more and more careful. He rarely rides horses outside the Beijing Campus. People make mistakes and horses stumble. In order to prevent accidents, he can only be cautious.

Tiqi has rehearsed several times the scene of gunpowder blowing up a vehicle and then assassins pouring out from the streets to kill him. The Ming Emperor's jade chariot had a steel plate one finger thick underneath!

But unfortunately, only one rail connection was loose. In order to prevent accidents, we chose to activate the plan.

"Intensifying conflicts is also a way to adjust conflicts. What disappoints me is that the courage of Zheshehu is as narrow-minded as their vision. They don't even dare to assassinate the king and kill the king. What kind of Zheshehu!" Zhu Yijun returned Leaving the palace, he said to Feng Baolue with some dissatisfaction.

People who like to watch the excitement even hope to become the excitement themselves, but unfortunately their hopes are in vain.

Feng Bao placed the compiled memorials in front of the emperor and said with a smile: "Isn't that pointing to your majesty's distribution of dividends? The Zheshe households and Shanxi merchants in Xitucheng have staked most of their wealth in Yanxinglou Ship Ticket Trading House. Here, they are more afraid of something happening to His Majesty than I am."

Zhang Hong made tea for His Majesty and said cheerfully: "Your Majesty is now their food and clothing parent. They are now very opposed to Your Majesty going to Beitucheng to parade military horses. People also say that if Your Majesty really likes it, go and see the parade." It doesn’t hurt to take a look, don’t leave the school grounds, just go for a walk. The emperor has a body of gold and this sword has no eyes. What if I get hurt?”

"Now I am worth ten thousand gold?" Zhu Yijun sneered.

Yanxinglou's five-masted ocean-going ship subscription was restored in the first month of the eighth year of Wanli and increased month by month. According to the original rules, starting from the eighth year of Wanli, dividends were no longer distributed on a monthly basis, but instead were changed to a full year. They have already tasted the benefits of dividends. Luxury households seem to have changed from complete opposition and resistance in the past to support.

"A bunch of guys who are blind to money!" Zhu Yijun picked up a memorial and was stunned for a moment after reading it.

The memorial was written by Wang Daokun, the governor of Songjiang. The memorial contains some changes in the Civil Information Bureau. In the early years of Yongle, the merchants of the Ningbo Gang created a city similar to the Kowloon Station in the Ming Dynasty under the background of continuous relocation and resettlement in the Ming Dynasty. for-profit organization.

In Wang Daokun's memorial, the Civil Information Bureau added a business of handling exchanges from the two simple functions of sending letters and items, which is similar to the money-drawing certificates of the Ming Dynasty Baochao Bureau. Merchants of the Ming Dynasty could use these Civil Information Bureaus to Bureau deposits and withdrawals of silver.

Sun Kehong had a sum of money that he wanted to bring to the capital. He did not need to bring the cash directly to Beiya. Instead, he deposited it at the Songjiang Prefecture Civil Credit Bureau and then took it out from the Capital Credit Bureau.

This kind of business has a professional term called bill number, money order bank or exchange bank.

The exchange business had already appeared in the prosperous Nanya Fourteenth Prefecture as early as the Hongzhi period, but its large-scale development and expansion to Beiya, Datong, and even Liaoyang only happened last year.

The reason why Wang Daokun submitted such a letter was because the merchants of the Ningbo Gang controlled the Civil Information Bureau and severely cheated Sun Kehong. Sun Kehong had a sum of 30,000 taels of silver and disappeared inexplicably. The stub of the money order that handled the exchange was The Songjiang Civil Information Bureau lost it, and the reason for the loss was very simple. These money order stubs came to Beijing by water, and the civilian ship that sent the money order stubs capsized.

Sun Kehong's family had a great business and he didn't feel sorry for the thirty thousand taels of silver. He went to the Yamen to file a complaint just to get an explanation! Are the merchants from the Ningbo Gang targeting us? The money handled by other companies is fine, but the stub is lost, and there is a local stub, so why can't he get it out?

Wang Daokun wrote this memorial in the hope of establishing a set of ticket numbers affiliated with the official post of the Ming Dynasty.

The official post of the Ming Dynasty cannot make ends meet and has suffered losses for many years. Although it has been cleaned up by Shanren who are not allowed to pretend to be officials, the post of the Ming Dynasty is no longer in the state of serious losses in the past, but a loss is a loss. Under the actuarial atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty, this official post may sooner or later will be calculated, then it becomes necessary to find new profit points and support the huge postmen.

"In the next chapter, the Cabinet, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Ministry of War will draft a charter and set a limit of seven days. According to Governor Wang, we can build Songjiang, Beiya, and Nanya first, and then build them bit by bit. To expand the scale, take small steps and run quickly." Zhu Yijun Zhu approved Wang Daokun's memorial.

The ticket number is the prototype of the bank's external business.

If you want to establish the Ming Dynasty Bank, the Ming Dynasty's coinage must meet the needs of the Ming Dynasty, and you must also establish a complete external business. Only Baochao Bureau and Baoyuan Bureau are far from enough. Zhu Yijun is happy to see this kind of exploration.

Similarly, Kaihai is giving birth to a new bourgeoisie, and the speed of birth and development far exceeds Zhu Yijun's expectations.

"I am issuing an order to the Cabinet and the Ministry of War to inquire and urge the Navy to expand its army." Zhu Yijun took out the edict again, wrote down the content of the inquiry, and asked Feng Bao to handle it.

The navy must speed up its expansion. Although the imperial proposal was passed, it will take some time to implement it. Zhu Yijun originally planned to use three years to expand the army, but now it seems that the pace must be accelerated.

"Call King Lu over to me! Where have you gone?" Zhu Yijun reviewed several memorials and found that Zhu Yili was not in the imperial study.

Zhu Yijun has resumed listening to the government. According to Zhu Yijun's training plan, Zhu Yijun needs to read all the memorials that he has reviewed every day, and ask if he doesn't understand. After dinner every day, Zhu Yijun will ask nine questions about the memorials, so that he can complete the memorials. Yes, you don’t have to run laps on the school grounds.

Zhu Yili was reluctant to listen to the affairs of state at the imperial gate. He was even more uncooperative when he read the memorial and asked about state affairs.

"His Royal Highness has returned to Prince Lu's Mansion." Zhang Hong and Feng Bao looked at each other and said softly.

"What have you been doing?"

Feng Bao said helplessly: "It is said that the Persian beauty has rehearsed a new dance for His Highness to appreciate, and His Highness has already gone!"

"Persian beauty?" Zhu Yijun looked at the memorial in his hand, slammed the table and said loudly: "Call him here! If he makes a mistake today, he will go to sparring with Luo Sigong tomorrow!"

Zhu Yili came wearing a mask of pain. Today, beauties from all over the world are preparing for more than a dozen dances, not just Persian beauties! Being disturbed by the royal brother!

Obviously he had already paraded the cavalry today and was really tired. He thought that the emperor's brother would postpone the memorial until tomorrow. He went to watch the dance happily, but he was pulled in to continue to inquire about state affairs.

When Zhu Yili heard that he was going to spar with Luo Sigong, the second best player in the youth group, he immediately became serious. Luo Sigong was a strong man and had the emperor's orders, so he never showed mercy.

Zhu Yiliu answered fluently, and the emperor's brother punched the cotton.

"Luo Sigong will spar with you tomorrow." Zhu Yijun was very satisfied and chose the reward.

"what?!"

"No, brother! Didn't you say you couldn't answer, so you were sparring with Luo Sigong?" Zhu Yiliu's eyes suddenly widened and he said loudly: "A gentleman's words are swift and his horse is whipped! He speaks with a golden tongue and never goes back on his word!"

Old God Zhu Yijun said calmly: "I didn't say I'd answer it, so there's no need."

"Your Majesty!" Zhu Yili jumped up, shook his head and said, "Sir, you said it! The country has lost its great trust, and people are suspicious. I am guilty of Your Majesty's injustice, and I deserve death."

Zhu Yixuan's words are to retreat in order to advance, to kidnap morals, and to go above and beyond. It has to be said that Zhu Yixuan, a scholar, has not read many books, but Huahuachangzi has learned everything.

"Forget it." Zhu Yijun nodded and took back his life. He is a very reasonable person, so just let Xiong Tingbi take over.

"Brother! Open up!" Zhu Yili was happy. He had no idea that adults have sinister hearts. Luo Sigong and Xiong Tingbi were both difficult to deal with.

"Brother, I have always had a question. The Four Books and Five Classics are all from the pre-Qin period, at least more than 1,500 years ago. Why are we still reading such early books? Confucian scholars always say that the present is not as good as the past. , I'm still young and not smart, brother, do you know why?" Zhu Yirui sat on the Taishi chair and asked his doubts.

The books I read are too old.

Zhu Yiyi has also been slowly reading "Xunzi" and "Guanzi" recently, both of which were annotated by Zhang Juzheng for His Majesty. However, these books are too old. If the emperor had not been sufficiently deviant, he would not have been able to read anything other than the Four Books and Five Classics. arrive.

"That's a good question." Zhu Yijun closed the memorial.

(End of this chapter)
