Daming: Spoilers about the future, Zhu Yuanzhang collapsed

Zhao Kuangyin and Zhu Yuanzhang acted very quickly this time.

I didn't even think about leaving too much time for these golden men.

I just want to solve the problem in the shortest time possible.

Don't let the battle fall into a stalemate.

This time, if we don’t do this in the shortest possible time, we will have to destroy these Jin people like a whirlwind.

They are all sorry for their anger and passion.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang and his people came from later generations.

At this time, the overall situation, corresponding trends, and many other things between the Song Dynasty and the Jin people were all known clearly.

In fact, they know more than the Jin people today.

There was also Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as Lan Yu, Mu Ying, Xu Da and so many other people who conducted research in advance and made targeted strategies.

In this case, it is natural that several effective methods have been developed long ago.

There was also the great general Xu Da, who personally sat in the front and coordinated the operations.

The large number of troops arrived suddenly, catching the Jin army off guard.

The generals and soldiers who came to the Ming Dynasty and the early Song Dynasty also knew it a long time ago.

If you die here, you won't really die.

Therefore, the battle was truly extremely brave.

After defeating the Jin army that surrounded the city of Bianliang, they pursued them all the way northward.

The troops were marching towards the north.

While doing these things, Zhu Yuanzhang also ordered Lan Yu to lead an army straight to Tongguan.

We must defeat the Jin people who occupy Tongguan.

Take back the natural barrier of Tongguan.

This would open up a path for the Western Army of the Song Dynasty.

The original troops of the Song Dynasty should try their best to participate as much as possible.

In this way, some talents can also be cultivated.

Train your troops well.

Under such circumstances, Zhao Kuangyin and his men acted so quickly that it is hard to describe.

After taking control of the court, Zhao Kuangyin did not just kill Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan, and Zhao Gou.

He also issued a series of orders in the name of Emperor Taizu.

While coordinating the affairs from the center, he also allowed some of the civil servants who came with him and Zhu Yuanzhang to preside over the work at the central level.

For example, Prime Minister Zhao Pu.

For example, Crown Prince Zhu Biao.

And some others.

Some of them also came to the local areas, presided over the local government affairs, quickly restored people's livelihood, and stabilized people's hearts...

While doing all this, we also pay attention to cultivating talents within the Song Dynasty.

As for the appointment of the Emperor of Song...

Zhao Kuangyin was not in a hurry to do it.

Anyway, he can stay here for two years.

The main reason is that at this time, he has not yet made clear his candidate.

Han Cheng, Zhu Yuanzhang and others also failed to come up with a suitable candidate.

After all, after the Song Dynasty, there were basically no emperors worth mentioning.

The emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty were not particularly outstanding.

In this situation, Zhao Kuangyin ultimately chose to cast a wide net.

Gather all the clan members together.

Finally, select the right candidate from among them.

Determine who will be the emperor.

Zhao Kuangyin did this after being reminded by Han Cheng.

After gathering people together, Zhao Kuangyin did not hide anything.

Instead, he explained the reason for calling them together at the first opportunity.

Make things very clear.

So that they don't have to guess.

On the contrary, it will not go well in the future.

And the royal family members who received this news.

Everyone seemed very surprised.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Taizu actually used this method to select the emperor.

It was originally thought that Emperor Taizu had the situation under control.

He would definitely choose a descendant of his to be the emperor.

Unexpectedly, in the end, all the royal family members were summoned together.

Select from within.

For many people, it was a huge surprise.

Especially the descendants of Zhao Guangyi.

Many people couldn't help but burst into tears!
The raised heart also calmed down.

Originally, I thought that Emperor Taizu would deal with all of them, the descendants of Emperor Taizong.

Now, there is still a chance to become emperor.

This is really a surprising news.

These royal family members will be extremely happy after knowing Zhao Kuangyin's decision.

Everyone was yelling as if they were given a shot of chicken blood, and went to prepare for this.

However, people have different mindsets and pursuits.

Therefore, some members of the royal family simply ignored this matter.

But it is undeniable that the vast majority of these royal family members want to give it a try.

What if it really works, and he catches the eye of Emperor Taizu and becomes the emperor?

That is truly a gift from heaven!

And Zhao Kuangyin was not polite to these members of the royal family.

The requirements are very strict.

After keeping them around for a while.

Just give them something to do and let them do it.

Some go into government affairs.

Some went to the army, some went to local areas... Of course, no matter where they went, they started from the grassroots level.

Moreover, in doing so, he had given a special order.

Don't let them do whatever they want by relying on their royal status.

You need to work hard, learn skills, and not give orders.

They should treat themselves as ordinary officials and do their job.

At the same time, a special order was issued.

Local people should not be given special care just because of their identities.

He will arrange appropriate people to supervise secretly.

Who dares to be partial to others and commit fraud? If it is found out later, whether it is a member of the royal family or a local official who is partial to others and commits fraud,
They will all be severely punished!

In serious cases, you can peel the daylily directly!

It can be seen that after spending a long time with Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhao Kuangyin also learned this unique skill from Zhu Yuanzhang.

After such an order was issued, for a while.

Many of the royal family members did not say anything on the surface, but they were secretly complaining.

Many of them are used to a life of luxury.

Where have I ever suffered such hardship?

I originally thought that Emperor Taizu wanted to test them on their knowledge, insights, music, painting skills, etc.

Who would have thought that this would be the end result!

This is really going to kill me!
Zhao Kuangyin actually made them do such menial work!
They all left the capital to work outside!
Things are not peaceful in this area right now!

What if something unexpected happens... wouldn't they suffer a great loss?

It's too late to cry.

And Zhao Kuangyin did not force them.

After announcing the conditions, I told them directly.

Those who do not wish to participate can withdraw.

After resigning, he would not have to suffer these things, but in the future, he would lose the qualification to be emperor.

Under such circumstances, a few people chose to withdraw again. But more people still gritted their teeth and persevered...

In addition to these things, Zhao Kuangyin also sought advice from Zhu Yuanzhang and Han Cheng on how to carry out drastic reforms in the Song Dynasty.

After some discussion, Zhao Kuangyin began to swing the axe in his hand continuously.

It directly hit the civil servant's vital point.

First of all, the punishment for scholars and officials will be directly abolished!
The system of the emperor and the scholars sharing the world was also abolished!
And it was made clear that from now on, the saying "everything else is inferior except reading" will no longer apply.

Other things are just as high!

After doing so, he also promoted the positions of people such as Zong Ze, Li Gang, Han Shizhong and others.

Some of the things that should be under Wu Jiang's control were now let Wu Jiang take charge.

Strengthen the power of military generals in the court and improve their status.

We must completely reverse the Song Dynasty's policy of using civil power to control military power...

Zhao Kuangyin chopped down with the axe several times in succession, and each time he chopped down the scholar's vital point accurately.

After his orders were passed out one by one.

This made many literati extremely angry.

Jumping for it.

I feel that many of Zhao Kuangyin’s actions are really too hateful!
He didn't do that!

If we continue to do things this way, the Song Dynasty will perish!
He didn't keep his promise!

How much effort have these literati put into the Song Dynasty over the years?
How much contribution have you made?
But he is doing this now!
This is a typical case of crossing the river and destroying the bridge.

Many people feel like the sky is falling!
I feel I have been betrayed extremely badly!
What Zhao Kuangyin did was truly inhumane!
However, no matter how angry they were or how much they cursed, they were only cursing in their hearts.

But he didn't dare to do anything too outrageous.

The emperor, the emperor emeritus, and a prince were all skinned alive by Zhao Kuangyin!
At the same time, so many civil and military officials were killed.

In this situation, they were naturally very worried...

And those who are truly knowledgeable and know a lot about past history also know this.

The so-called "no punishment for scholars and officials" was just something that was created later by successive generations of scholars and officials.

Emperor Taizu, and even during the time of Emperor Taizong.

There were more than just one or two scholars and officials who were dealt with.

It was only later that the practice of "no punishment, no doctor" really began to be implemented!

Now, as soon as Emperor Taizu arrived, he displayed such powerful means. Many of them had to hold their anger even if they were angry!

But not all people are so weak.

At this moment, there are also people who bravely stand up.

To fight for their Confucian interests.

Someone directly submitted a memorial to Zhao Kuangyin, expressing clear opposition to this matter in powerful words.

After reading it, Zhao Kuangyin kept it in his pocket without making any statement or reprimanding anyone.

He is fishing.

I want to see how many more people will come forward behind the scenes.

Zhao Kuangyin's sting operation was quite successful.

After he expressed this somewhat ambiguous attitude, many people felt that Zhao Kuangyin was also hesitant and not so resolute at this time.

They can leave now!
Under the system where the emperor and the scholar-officials shared the world, their lives were too good to be true.

But now, everything they have at this moment is about to be lost at once.

It is really hard to accept.

As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

Those who have enjoyed great power and a wonderful life really don't want to go back to the way things were before.

So, after seeing that Zhao Kuangyin had not yet gotten angry, each of them became more resolute than the other.

Some people even said that Zhao Kuangyin, the retired emperor, issued orders in vain!
There's going to be a big problem!
If you are not careful, five generations of past events will happen.

It even said that Emperor Zhao Kuangyin would not revoke such an order.

Then he would just run into a wall and die in this hall!
Before this, Zhao Kuangyin always seemed unsure and had an ambiguous attitude on this matter.

When you see that you have caught almost all the fish, you can start to collect the net.

Those numerous memorials were thrown forcefully in their faces one by one.

That was a lot of effort.

He also pointed at the civil servant who had said that he was going to die by crashing into the hall and who had advised him against it.

Let him hit it immediately.

Don't be fussy.

And before that, he had spoken very strongly and sincerely, for his family, his country, and his people, but he had forgotten that he was a strong-willed person.

After hearing what Zhao Kuangyin said, he was stunned for a moment.

Seems a little hesitant.

Where is the look of someone who would rather die than surrender, and was ready to risk his life to make a last-ditch appeal?

But he didn't want to do that, and Zhao Kuangyin didn't allow it.

He directly ordered the soldiers to go forward and catch him.

Two of them pulled at the arms, and two of them pulled at the legs.

He slammed hard into the pillar!

The man's head was hit directly and cracked!
The court suddenly became quiet.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at these people and said, "Is there anyone else who wants to die for his remonstrance? Come on!"

Facing Zhao Kuangyin, who was holding a jade axe and full of murderous intent.

These people dare to move!

Therefore, in the court, this matter was suppressed...

However, the anger of many literati princes will not disappear.

Zhao Kuangyin also knew that the trend of using civil officials to control military officials and of valuing civil officials over military officials had existed for many years.

It has long been deeply rooted and deeply rooted in people's hearts.

It's not easy to get it back if you want to.

You have to be ruthless.

Immediately, the ten or so people who had shouted the loudest were all executed.

As for the rest, some were dismissed from office, while others were beaten with a stick in the court and then dismissed from office.

After doing this series of things.

All of a sudden, the voices of many people who were secretly cursing Zhao Kuangyin became much quieter.

But not everyone will be scared by this.

So, some people began to actively communicate secretly.

Prepare to rebel!

Cause trouble for Zhao Kuangyin.

This bastard Zhao Kuangyin caused something that was really a shambles to the lifeblood of the literati and scholars.

How can they succeed without trying their best?

How many years have passed since the Song Dynasty introduced the imperial examination system?
How many scholars are there?
Originally, many people did everything they could just to study and gain fame.

Now, although Zhao Kuangyin did not cut off this road.

But it also means that the value of this road is greatly reduced.

How could they have no complaints?

So, I started to encourage them as well.

Plus the current situation itself seems quite chaotic.

We must take advantage of this opportunity to stir up some trouble within the Song Dynasty.

Use this method to put pressure on Zhao Kuangyin.

Let Zhao Kuangyin give up!

Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhao Kuangyin, Han Cheng and others had already anticipated that they would do this before they did this.

Be prepared in advance.

How could they possibly succeed?
So, after knowing some of these people's actions.

Zhao Kuangyin was so angry that he laughed.

I wish these bastards had such courage and determination when facing the Jin people before.

That's fine.

The Song Dynasty itself might not become like this.

Furthermore, these people actually have the nerve to ask themselves, aren't we afraid of causing another five generations of trouble by dealing with them?
The shit they did was so pathetic.

It would be better if the story of five generations ago came to light!
……

And when Zhao Kuangyin and others did so.

Some scholars are also preparing to use their greatest trump card! (End of this chapter)
