I'm really not doing business

Chapter 614: Final Chapter of the Templar Warriors

Zhu Yijun was just a fox who took advantage of the tiger's power, while the real tigers were Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang, one civil and one military, who assisted in state affairs. As the emperor, Zhu Yijun had the support of the elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty's capital camp, so he could be so arrogant as to have the power of life and death over everyone, and most of the ministers relied on the emperor's prestige.

Over the years, Zhu Yijun has cherished the Beijing Camp very much. The elite soldiers of the Beijing Camp were all selected from good families. They were trained with the military spirit of "reporting to the emperor and saving the people" proposed by Qi Jiguang. They were the Templar Knights in Li Yashi's mouth. Because of their generous treatment and strict military discipline, the elite soldiers of the Beijing Camp would not disturb the people and thus gained universal support.

Whenever Zhu Yijun had time, he would go to Beidaying.

Over the years, Zhu Yijun also cherishes the current court. Under the influence of the authoritarian figure Zhang Juzheng, the Ming court has become visibly clearer. The clear administration has brought about a fairer competitive environment. The administrative power of the Ming Dynasty has finally been restored. Politics has never lacked rules, but what is lacking is how to make everyone abide by the rules.

Zhu Yijun was so diligent in his work that Hai Rui even criticized him, but it was also because Zhu Yijun cherished the current court situation very much.

This was hard-won, and it was a rare occurrence throughout the 5,000 years of Central Plains history, so Zhu Yijun naturally had to cherish it.

But now Pan Jixun, Sanniangzi and the Suiyuan people hope that the emperor can shoulder greater responsibilities and make his own contribution to the kingship. On the one hand, Hou Yuzhao proposed a Ming Dynasty where all are the king's subjects; on the other hand, Pan Jixun hopes that the emperor can become the human belief of the grassland.

Zhu Yijun was just a king who relied on the power of others to bully others. Making him a religion among the people was indeed an additional burden.

In fact, this matter is quite taboo. A gentleman does not talk about strange things. As a traditional secular country, the Ming Dynasty resorted to gods and Buddhas to solve problems, which was somewhat unorthodox and heretical. Therefore, Pan Jixun and Sanniangzi used the study tour group including Lin Fucheng and Li Zhi to test the reaction of the court.

This is the redundancy in politics. If the court officials unanimously opposed it, it was because the study tour group put forward some "immature" suggestions in "haste" to solve sudden problems during the inspection. Can the court still punish them for immature suggestions?
But if it is written as a memorial, it would be a political advice. If the court does not adopt it, it may affect the court officials' perception of local officials, and thus affect their promotion.

It is easy to destroy Buddhism. The Ming Dynasty has 72,000 guards in Suiyuan. The Ming Dynasty’s capital camp is deployed by expressway and it only takes five days to reach Guihua City. For the Ming Dynasty, destroying Buddhism is an easy task, and the aftermath after destroying Buddhism is the key point, just as it is easy for the Ming Dynasty to recover Hetao but difficult to keep it.

"In fact, it makes sense if you think about it carefully. There is really no more suitable candidate." Zhu Yijun took the joint petition signed by Pan Jixun and Sanniangzi, annotated it, handed it to Feng Bao and said, "Submit it to the cabinet for discussion."

Zhu Yijun took this burden upon himself, and he also had to bear the infamy that followed.

Whether the Great Emperor Zhenwu, the God of Subduing Demons, will be reincarnated needs to be decided by the Ming Dynasty court.

Three days later, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was discharged from the hospital. The Minister of Rites Shen Li prepared a grand ceremony for the emperor's discharge, which made Zhu Yijun look confused. His wisdom tooth was growing cross-breasted and he needed stitches. After removing the stitches, Zhu Yijun planned to leave the Jiekuyuan and return to Tonghe Palace.

As soon as the door opened, I saw flags waving and the sounds of gongs, drums and trumpets suddenly rang out.

"Is it such a big deal?" Zhu Yijun looked blankly at the court officials in the yard and outside the door, and asked puzzledly.

"It's lively and exciting." Zhang Juzheng whispered, "Your Majesty, the people of Beijing need to see your heroic figure."

The grand discharge ceremony was held to reassure people's hearts. The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty left the Jiekuyuan where he had stayed for seven days and returned to the human world again. Naturally, everyone needed to know that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had returned.

"Okay, okay, let's start." Zhu Yijun knew about this and he approved it, but he didn't expect it to cause such a big commotion. The scale was equivalent to that of the sacrifice to the Temple of Heaven and Earth.

This time, Zhu Yijun personally offered sacrifices to Qi Sheng Qi Bo who was standing in front of the gate of Jie Ku Yuan.

Qi Bo is the great medical officer in "Su Wen" and the physician of Huang Di. The whole Su Wen is Huang Di's questions and Qi Bo's answers. Qi Bo is the ancestor of medicine, so worshipping him in Jie Ku Yuan is not an obscene worship, but a patron saint by lowly Confucian scholars. This is also a worship of the great sage and teacher above the three generations.

Wan Shihe wrote a Qingci, which was a prayer. After the emperor offered sacrifices, Wan Shihe burned the Qingci to thank Qi Bo for his protection.

The court officials first bowed to the emperor and then to Qi Bo. Feng Bao read out the imperial edict in a hoarse voice, and then the imperial edict was spread to all directions to calm people's hearts.

At this point, the dark cloud of the emperor's illness finally dissipated from the Ming Dynasty's sky, and the sun still rose.

Zhu Yijun appeared in the Wenhua Hall to preside over the court meeting, and also appeared in the Beida Camp to review the troops. At this point, all the rumors about the emperor were refuted, and those who took the opportunity to cause trouble were punished. Fourteen people including Shen Zibin and Luo Yuren, and eighteen people including Xu Youren, a wealthy man in Xitucheng, were expedited and taken to Caishikou to be beheaded in public.

The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not personally supervise the execution because he was very busy. He had just rested for seven days and there were many things that needed to be dealt with personally. It was not that important for him to see the lowly scholar's head fall to the ground.

While the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was busy, Li Yashi, who was on duty at the Honglu Temple, put down the pen in his hand, blew dry the ink, and with great satisfaction put the book he had translated into an iron box and locked it.

All translated books must undergo cross-review before being sent to the Sanjing Factory for printing as part of the Western Literature Collection.

He translated a mythological story about the templar warrior Paladin.

Li Yashi looked at Shaoqing Gao Qiyu and said, "In the West, the Templar Warriors are a kind of legendary knights above all other knights. They swore and pledged allegiance not to the kingship or theocracy, but to lofty ideals. They are the guardians of all the good things in the world."

"But in the Temple of Taixi, the warriors can only become a legend, because the object of their loyalty is not the royal power. When the king's character is close to being noble, like your majesty, then there is no difference between loyalty to the ideal and loyalty to the king. When the king's character is limited, their loyalty to the ideal becomes a concern for the king."

"We all know that the moral character of most kings is obviously limited."

"When a king's moral character is limited, he will have concerns about his loyalty to this ideal. Naturally, people with ulterior motives will spread rumors and slander the moral character of the Templar Warriors, and eventually expel these warriors. The king will also lose everything because of losing the Templar Warriors."

The morality of natural nobles, that is, nobles, is limited. These Paladins who swear allegiance to their own ideals rather than royal power or divine authority are not completely loyal to the king, so a gap will arise.

Gao Qiyu thought for a while and shook his head and said, "It is the same for the Ming Dynasty. The Beijing Army also had ups and downs and experienced many twists and turns. It prospered during the Yongle period, died in the battle at Tumu Fort during the Zhengtong period, prospered during the Jingtai period, was disbanded during the Tianshun period, was reorganized during the Chenghua period, declined during the Hongzhi period, and prospered again during the Wanli period."

"Now the Ming Dynasty is trying to compromise and adopt the idea of ​​reporting to the emperor and saving the people, hoping to allow the elite soldiers of the Beijing camp to maintain sufficient faith and combat effectiveness."

“The paradox theory tells us that history always goes in cycles and spirals upward.”

Li Yashi cared unexpectedly about the Ming Dynasty's Capital Camp. He really, really liked discussing the Capital Camp because in his opinion, this kind of military organization should not exist in theory. They were the most violent group in the world, holding guns and carrying blades, and were murderous. However, the Ming Dynasty's Capital Camp reported to the emperor and rescued the people. Li Rusong borrowed livestock in Wuchuan County and actually returned the money later.

"It is disadvantageous at this time of colonizing, invading and plundering other countries, because wars of plunder and aggression are unjust wars. You also know that the Templars exist to protect all the beautiful things in the world. Colonization, invasion, massacre, plunder and slavery have nothing to do with beauty." Legashi still insisted on his theory of high moral inferiority.

"If plunder and invasion are necessary, hired barbarians can be used. The Han and Tang dynasties did this, and the Ming Dynasty can do the same. If some dirty things are done, people's hearts will be demoralized, so the elite soldiers of the Beijing camp will not do them, and can be handed over to these barbarian mercenaries." Gao Qiyu explained this doubt.

It was such a waste to use good family children for massacre. The Ming Dynasty's core combat force at sea was guest soldiers and guardsmen, and it hired a lot of natives and Japanese slaves. War was the most intense manifestation of intensified contradictions, and war was inevitably accompanied by killing, suppression and plunder. The Ming Dynasty never denied this.

The best way is to avoid doing these dirty and tiring work.

Li Yashi spread his hands, seeming to want to say something but stopped himself, and finally said nothing. Daming had its persistence and also its flexibility.

The legendary story translated by Legazpi is the final chapter of the legend of Paladin, or Holy Knight.

After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, a Roman Empire briefly appeared in Ctesiopia. That was the Empire of Charlemagne, the predecessor of the current Holy Roman Empire, whose territory covered almost the entire Ctesiopia.

After Richard the Great died, the Paladins were still there, and the empire began a civil war. In order to seize the throne, a long war was launched. Some Paladins were killed because they were unwilling to attack civilians; some became executioners because of the cruel war and regretted it, and finally committed suicide; some fled because they did not want to be butchers;

Aaron de Brown, his father was one of the twelve paladins who followed Richard the Great. Unable to bear the cruelty of war, Aaron set himself on fire in front of the Palatine Cathedral, causing an uproar.

The once powerful Paladins disappeared in the long river of history and eventually became legends.

Legashi said solemnly: "An army with firm beliefs is invincible when it protects the beauty of the world, but when it fights an unjust war, its combat power is no different from that of a bandit army composed of refugees."

"Your Majesty is diligent and goes to the Northern Camp to review the troops regardless of weather. It is so hard because your Majesty's morality is close to being noble. There are two problems that the court must consider to prevent the Beijing Camp from following the footsteps of Paladin and other Templar warriors. The first is that your Majesty is lazy, and the second is that the heir's moral character is limited."

"Human nature tends to be lazy. Your Majesty's diligence is against human nature. Your Excellency cannot guarantee a noble character. This is a problem that Your Majesty has already discussed with Mr. Zhang. In addition, there are so many ironclad examples of lowly Confucian scholars in the country."

“So, this is the dilemma.”

"As you said." Gao Qiyu frowned, then gradually relaxed his brows and said with a smile: "This is not something we should worry about. By that time, we will have been a pile of yellow earth."

"Your Majesty, the Spring and Autumn Period is a great prosperity for the Ming Dynasty."

Li Yashi said with a smile on his face: "Well, you are right, I was a little too worried. This is not our problem."

Because of the chaos caused by the emperor's critical illness, Gao Liyashi began to consider the issue of the empire's successor. It is instructive to learn how the paladins of Taixi disappeared in the long river of history.

Gao Qiyu and Li Yashi were just chatting. This was the impact and concern brought about by the emperor's critical illness, but Zhang Juzheng, as the prime minister of the empire, could not leave this matter to the wisdom of future generations, because in the eyes of this handsome old man, future generations had no wisdom.

Zhang Juzheng was in a high position, and he knew very well that the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, which was thriving and even changing with each passing day, was not easy to come by. In the long history of China, it was a minority among the minority. Only Shang Yang's reform, which was the last of the six generations, appeared briefly in that era of great contention. This was the only familiar era that Zhang Juzheng could think of.

On April 13, the 12th year of the Wanli reign, the Ming Emperor presided over a court meeting for the first time after he recovered. The morning sun was bright, and spring swallows were chirping as they built their nests. As the vegetation gradually recovered, the sky became clearer. Smoke and haze caused by coal smoke only appeared in late winter and early spring.

"Sir, are you really willing to send Xiong Tingbi's half-grown child to Suiyuan?" Zhu Yijun looked at the memorial in front of him. Zhang Juzheng asked for permission to send Xiong Tingbi to accompany Pan Jixun to contribute to the king's rule of Suiyuan.

"Xiong Tingbi is deeply favored by the emperor. He is not young anymore at the age of fifteen. If he had not studied in the Quan Chu Guild Hall, he would have been married long ago." The solution Zhang Juzheng gave was to cultivate more talents and form a joint force to maintain the new policies and keep the court clean.

"Then let him go." Zhu Yijun thought for a moment and decided to let Xiong Tingbi go to Suiyuan to accompany Pan Jixun and accumulate more practical experience in Suiyuan.

"Yu Xianqing, the head of the Ministry of Justice, wrote a letter to impeach Tu Long, the head of the Ministry of Rites, for feasting and debauchery." Zhang Juzheng took out a memorial.

The impeachment of Tu Long, the head of the Ministry of Rites, was not worthy of being brought to the Wenhua Hall of the Ming Dynasty for discussion. In addition to Tu Long, two marquises were also involved, one was Song Shien, Marquis of Xining, the other was Li Yangong, Marquis of Linhuai, and the other was Zhang Jiayin, the Junior Master of the Ministry of Rites and the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Tu Long, the head of the Ministry of Rites, and the Marquis of Xining and the Marquis of Linhuai often went out for feasts and travels. During the seven days after the news of the emperor's critical illness came out, they stayed at home. Only after the emperor was discharged from the hospital did they go out to feast and travel, indulging in sensual pleasures. Because they had been holding back for seven days and drank some horse urine (wine), they engaged in debauchery.

As for the lewd scene, it was really too disgusting to watch. It happened in the brothel, in public, and everyone knew about it.

"What's going on with Marquis Xining and Marquis Linhuai? How come they are involved with Tu Long, and even sworn brotherhood?" Zhu Yijun finished reading the memorial with a frown on his face. It was really unusual for a military hero and a civil official to become sworn brothers.

"Your Majesty, Marquis Xining and Marquis Linhuai did not practice martial arts, and have never participated in the selection of the Beijing Camp." Qi Jiguang answered this question. As the head of the military honors, he did not know the situation of these two military honors, because they belonged to the honorary army, only received salaries but did not take care of their affairs, and were not under Qi Jiguang's jurisdiction.

Qi Jiguang, the great general, was only responsible for military honors in the army.

Li Youzi, the chief censor of the Metropolitan Censorate, said, "Tu Long was a Jinshi in the fifth year of the Wanli reign. He took Zhang Jiayin, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, as his teacher. Then in the sixth year of the Wanli reign, he went to Qingpu County, Songjiang Prefecture, to serve as the magistrate. In the tenth year of the Wanli reign, he returned to the capital to submit an account. After passing the examination, he was recommended by Zhang Jiayin, the junior minister of the imperial court, to stay in the capital as the head of the Ministry of Rites."

"Marquis Xining and Marquis Linhuai love poetry and Tu Long is good at poetry. They met by chance and wanted to ask Tu Long to be their teacher. But Tu Long naturally did not dare to accept the marquis as his disciple, so he had to call him brother."

"Yesterday, Xining Marquis Song Shien went to a banquet and said to Tu Long: 'I am very grateful to you, Mr. Xu, for calling me your brother. One day, my brother's wife will help me bow down and pay respects to my wife and grandma. Xining Marquis really thinks Tu Long is talented and wants to bring his wife to visit him.'"

Li Youzi explained the situation clearly. The Marquis of Xining truly recognized Tu Long's literary talent and even brought his wife to visit him. They were half-brothers, not just drinking buddies.

"Your Majesty, I think that even if a military hero is a meritorious soldier and does not engage in military affairs, he should still practice martial arts. At the very least, he should be familiar with military affairs, instead of indulging in sensual pleasures. There is an ancestral system in Yongle that requires one to hit the target with seven arrows out of ten steps before inheriting the title. I think that we should restore the ancestral law a little bit, so that at least he can draw a bow." Grand Marshal Zeng Shengwu was very dissatisfied with the fact that military heroes neglected their martial arts.

As an extreme conservative, Zeng Shengwu immediately brought out the inheritance clause of the ancestral law and demanded the restoration of the ancestral law.

"The civil officials are complacent and the military officials are idle. The world is so corrupt. Can it be considered a major plan for the country? If there is a change, there will be people who can be used." Zeng Shengwu explained the reason why he advocated this. If something big happened, there would be people who could be counted on, instead of being left without help.

"Forget it, just eat for free and don't make trouble." Zhu Yijun thought about it and decided not to make things difficult for this group of pampered young men because they could not be relied on at all.

The three hereditary dukes in Beijing of the Ming Dynasty have been reduced to high priests. The last time Altan Khan was executed, the three high priests offered sacrifices to Emperor Shizong in the suburbs. According to etiquette, they had to start from Deshengmen and walk to the imperial mausoleum in the Western Hills.

This group of military heroes and civil officials were unable to reach the Western Hills Imperial Mausoleum, so in the end they had to send carriages and horses to take them there.

Zhu Yijun could run ten miles fully armed, but these military heroes really couldn't run away.

"I am unable to control my disciples. I beg Your Majesty to punish me." Zhang Jiayin, as the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, was also in the Wenhua Hall. The moment he saw the memorial, his eyes darkened. This Tu Long usually looked quite gentle, but he was actually playing such a frivolous game in public!
"Isn't it that Yu Xianqing, the head of the Ministry of Justice, falsely accused me? Is this true?" Zhu Yijun looked at Hai Rui, the chief censor of the Metropolitan Censorate, to ask whether the matter was true or not. He continued, "When Tu Long was the magistrate of Qingpu County in Songjiang Prefecture, he severely offended Yu Xianqing. After returning to Beijing, the two of them wrote poems and essays that were jealous of each other, and hatred built up."

The plaintiff Yu Xianqing and the defendant Tu Long have a grudge, and it is not a small grudge.

Yu Xianqing was from Shanghai County, Songjiang Prefecture, and was not a small family. The Yu family also had a lot of land in Qingpu County. Tu Long was very strict in land surveying and ignored the big families. In addition, part of the Yu family had occupied land and was ordered by Tu Long to return the land.

When Tu Long was the magistrate of Qingpu County, he caused a lot of trouble to the Yu family regarding unpaid taxes and grain, evaded population, land surveying, and water irrigation.

In the tenth year of Wanli, Yu Xianqing went to Beijing to prepare for the imperial examination the following year. In the capital, Tu Long and Yu Xianqing began a competition in poetry and prose. Tu Long was slightly better and won the respect of many people.

Due to the conflict of interest and the fact that he was suppressed in poetry and prose, Yu Xianqing held a grudge and might have believed everything he heard.

"It's not a false accusation, it's true." Hai Rui first confirmed that this was a fact, not a false accusation, because Hai Rui had communicated with the patrolling censor in the morning before the court session. If the bailiffs had not arrived, these three people would still be indulging themselves in public.

"The Ministry of Justice has an official document from the Shuntian Prefecture government office. It is true that Wang Xiyuan, the chancellor of the prefecture, went to Taibai Tower with the yamen runners yesterday." Wang Chonggu confirmed this. Wang Chonggu actually did not say that his son Wang Qian was at the scene yesterday!
After Wang Qian returned home, he described the scene in vivid detail and with great gestures, as if he was going to do it himself, which almost made Wang Chonggu take out his Seven-Star Ring-Handed Sword.

Zhu Yijun thought for a moment and said, "Remove the titles of Xining Marquis Song Shien and Linhuai Marquis Li Yangong. The Ministry of Rites will appoint someone to inherit the title. Their salaries will be taken away for three years. For five years, the two are not allowed to leave the palace, otherwise they will be arrested and questioned. Tu Longge, the head of the Ministry of Rites, will be dismissed from office and return home to serve."

"Zhang Jiayin, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, will be fined six months' salary as a minor punishment. Mr. Zhang, when you return, you should expel Tu Long from your post. He has some talent, but he should not be arrogant and disregard public order, morality and laws."

"I obey your command." Zhang Jiayin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. The weather in April was not hot, but Zhang Jiayin was already sweating all over. He was fined for six months' salary. Next time he had something to do, he could consider going home to grow sweet potatoes.

"Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Juzheng did not express any objection. Such a ridiculous thing happened in the capital, the best place in the world.

Even with the door closed!

The specific lewd scene took place at the railing on the second floor of the lobby. They were playing and shouting loudly. The people drinking below watched a live sex show. The news spread throughout the capital early in the morning. The gossips in the streets and alleys knew about it, and they were even discussing the specific details of the sizes of the three people and the duration.

And because of biological limitations, the three of them definitely didn't drink to the point of blacking out. They couldn't play if they were completely drunk. The three of them were definitely sober at the time.

Zhu Yijun naturally wanted to curb the spread of this unhealthy trend of being lazy in literature and having fun in martial arts.

The Ming Dynasty enjoyed the benefits of the influx of silver and the transformation to a commodity economy, but naturally it had to bear the price. There were many supporters of absolute freedom. Tu Long and the two marquises obviously liked absolute freedom very much, and did not care much about public order and morality, otherwise they would not have done such things in a sober state.

"Your Majesty, Yu Xianqing has made another memorial, requesting to go to Suiyuan to support the border." Zhang Juzheng took out another memorial. It was still Yu Xianqing, the head of the Ministry of Justice, who took the initiative to leave the capital and went to Suiyuan to seek an opportunity for promotion.

"Why would he go to Suiyuan when he was fine?" Zhu Yijun asked puzzledly.

"Yu Xianqing thinks that Governor Pan has good methods for flood control and wants to go to him to learn his skills. Suiyuan happens to be short of people." Zhang Juzheng said with his head down.

Zhu Yijun spread his hands and said, "Sir, I am already 22 years old. You can't fool a child like this."

"He impeached Tu Long, Marquis of Xining and Marquis of Linhuai for feasting and debauchery." Zhang Juzheng had to explain the reason. In principle, Ming officials were not allowed to go to brothels, but that was only in principle. Yu Xianqing impeached them for this reason, which broke the implied rules, so he had to leave.

Without anyone to protect us, we crossed the Huoyan Mountain during the hottest days of summer without a single place to get shade.

Yu Xianqing obviously wanted to find someone to provide him with shade, and Pan Jixun was the shade he found that was suitable for him. Working under Pan Jixun, apart from the hardships, was full of benefits.

Of course, it is really bitter.

"Go, go." Zhu Yijun thought about it and decided to let Yu Xianqing go to Suiyuan. The main reason was that he would not be able to accumulate local experience. Did Yu Xianqing have to observe politics in the capital all his life?
In the current Ming Dynasty, there is no way to get promoted to an official position.

"Wang Ci Fu, there is a statement in the imperial edict: Any official who keeps prostitutes with him or her will be banned from office and will not be reappointed. He or she will be put in shackles and paraded through the streets for three days. The imperial edict will not be enforced for a long time. If anyone speaks up and pleads for Tu Long and others, Tu Long will be paraded through the streets in shackles." Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Chonggu and explained the follow-up of the matter.

If someone pleads for mercy, Tu Long will be paraded through the streets in shackles!
What they do is really too abstract.

"Governor Pan asked about the destruction of Buddhism and the hanging of the statue of Zhenwu Emperor in various temples." Zhang Juzheng talked about the solution given by Pan Jixun and Sanniangzi. He thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, Madam Zhongshun is in Beijing. Why not summon her to ask?"

Sanniangzi went to Beijing again and made three trips a year. Her biggest responsibility as the governor was to ensure the stability of the wool business. This involved huge and currently the most important distribution of interests on the grassland, so Sanniangzi had to do it herself.

"Don't announce the audience yet. What opinions do the court officials have?" Zhu Yijun did not intend to ask Sanniang first, but to ask the opinions of the Ming Dynasty court officials.

Wang Chonggu said with certainty: "Your Majesty, the land and water of this place nurture the people of that place, and the development of each place is not balanced. The Ming Dynasty's land survey is being implemented in various places, even in Liaodong, but Guizhou and Yunnan have not yet implemented it, because these places are not suitable for the land survey decree."

"The grassland is a newly opened place, so government policies should be adapted to local conditions." Zhang Juzheng expressed his views, supporting the destruction of Buddhism and conversion of religions, forcing Lamaism in the grassland to transform and adapt to Ming society.

"I think it is inappropriate." Hai Rui immediately said, "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. The Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven, not a god or Buddha."
