Follow Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the country

Chapter 153 Song Lian asked Shilin to reflect, and the Yuan court officials were furious!
Because Zhu Yuanzhang asked this, Song Liancai laughed and said: "Returning to the Prime Minister, it is natural that they have no virtue. Confucianism is to encourage people to do benevolent and righteous things, how can it let people take benefits and sacrifice righteousness?"

"Sure enough, Mr. Qianxi always speaks to the point!"

Zhang Cheng immediately praised Song Lian and then added: "So, Mr. Qianxi must also agree that when this kind of thing happens, the first person to blame should be the reactionary bureaucrats of the Yuan Dynasty; the second person to blame is They are Mr. Qianxi’s unscrupulous relatives and friends!”

"But the Rebel Shenji Battalion is actually excusable."

"Otherwise, Mr. Qianxi would not have regarded Hu Yuan as Zhengshuo like his relatives and friends in Shilin, and would have chosen to join our rebel army."

"I wonder if Mr. Qianxi thinks so as I do?"

talking.

Zhang Cheng asked about Song Lian.

Song Lian smiled awkwardly and replied: "Of course! Mr. Zhang is wise and wise, and he is Song's confidant!"

"Nan is Mr. Qianxi's confidant. Zhang is honored."

Zhang Cheng looked at Feng Guoyong again: "What do Feng Shenzheng think?"

Zhang Cheng replied with a smile.

Zhu Yuanzhang also felt the same and nodded, looking at Feng Guoyong: "Mr. Zhang is right, Feng Shenzheng, you can't just think that the rebels are to blame for this matter."

"I don't understand why the more someone does for the people, the more wronged they will be!"

"Sir, I don't think so."

Zhang Cheng's tone became more and more severe as he spoke, quite resentful to the rebels.

He really didn't know what to say. From a standpoint, he sympathized with the officials and gentry who were liquidated by the rebels, but he couldn't hold his nose and deny that it was wrong for the rebels to not sacrifice the people.

"It's not enough to blame Shenji Camp for the collapse of rituals and music."

"As a result, Feng's participation in politics now only has the rebels to blame."

Feng Guoyong said again: "However, forcefully dividing the fields and grains of large households, and even allowing the slave rebellion to occur, are ultimately not in line with the original intention of our rebel army. Our rebel army wants to save the world, restore China, and bring order to the people of the world, not now In this way, the world's rituals and music will be destroyed."

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but chuckle to himself, and looked at Song Lian's embarrassed look with interest.

Feng Guoyong said very depressedly.

"Because the main cause of the collapse of rites and music is that the wealthy households failed to fulfill their responsibilities of benevolence and righteousness and bring peace to the villagers. Therefore, rather than actually saying that the rebels broke the rites, it should be said that the wealthy households broke the etiquette first! Of course! , It’s not just the wealthy people who broke the etiquette, Hu Yuan also broke the etiquette first.”

This can be regarded as the contradiction that the scholar-bureaucrats who received Confucian education have always insisted on valuing justice over profit, but they are not willing to suffer losses in terms of interests. The result is that they become so inconsistent. When encountering a conflict between justice and profit, It becomes particularly embarrassing.

talking.

Feng Guoyong sighed, then bowed his hands to Zhang Cheng and said:
"Mr. Zhang is right. After looking at it this way, it is true that the rebels cannot be blamed for this! The rebels also had no choice but to keep more people alive."

"I just want to say that this situation needs to end as soon as possible."

Of course, there are also scholar-bureaucrats who only pay attention to righteousness and despise interests, so they are willing to live in poverty all their lives and become scholar-bureaucrats.

"Feng Shenzhen might as well say that their legal property should not be directly expropriated."

But this is still a minority.

Zhang Cheng said: "Then the culprit Hu Yuan must be eliminated as soon as possible."

"Mr. Zhang is right." "Sure enough, the more you argue, the clearer it becomes, and the more you argue, the clearer you are about what an objective view is, and it becomes clearer."

"So, let's not blame Wen Zheng and the others. Instead, we should blame Hu Yuan for being immoral and corrupt officials and evil gentry who are immoral and irresponsible."

Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Zhang Cheng echoed, "That's what the superior said."

Then, Zhang Cheng looked at Song Lian: "So, I still want to ask Song Zhongcheng to write an article on this matter, firstly to advocate for the Shenji Battalion, and secondly, for those who have been wronged by the excessive liquidation behavior of the rebel army. The landlords, officials and gentry criticized the reaction of the Hu and Yuan court, and at the same time asked them to reflect on their own mistakes. Song Zhongcheng and many of them were relatives and friends, so having Song Zhongcheng talk about this matter actually made the landlords, officials and gentry more willing to reflect on it! "

"You asked me to write an article to criticize my relatives and friends in Shilin again?!"

"I joined the rebel army to become a high-ranking official, not to write articles!"

Song Lian shouted in his heart.

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard what Zhang Cheng said, he nodded in agreement, then looked at Song Lian and said with a smile: "Mr. Qianxi has always been a loyal and fair person, and he will definitely not refuse. What's more, this time is also right." It takes people like Mr. Qianxi to see things clearly and understand right from wrong!”

Because Zhu Yuanzhang also said so, Song Lian could only purse his lips, and then said with a forced smile: "Yes, Song should fulfill his responsibility and show his righteousness, so that everyone in the world understands Shenji Camp, and also allows fellow scholars all over the world to reflect. So alert."

Seeing this, Feng Guoyong sighed secretly and glanced at Song Lian with some distress.

This way.

Chuzhou Xingzhongshu Province, that is, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Cheng, not only did not criticize the behavior of Shenjiying, but instead let Song Lian be his own mouthpiece, defended the behavior of Shenjiying, and criticized Hu Yuan's bureaucrats He and Jiangnan township officials criticized him and asked them to reflect on their mistakes.

As for Hu Yuan.

After Duo'er learned about the behavior of Shenji Camp from Hasato, he comforted Hasato and other Jiangnan officials: "I know all about your affairs. I am just like you, and I treat the rebels like this." I am very saddened by this barbaric and shameless act, and I wish I could wipe out these bandits immediately! So, please rest assured, I will completely wipe out the bandits in Jiangnan and give you justice!"

For this reason, Duo'er also promised these Jiangnan eunuchs that he would destroy Zhu Wenzheng and other rebels who appeared in Jiangnan.

"Thank you Cheng!"

"You Cheng can be said to be the blue sky for us Jiangnan scholars and people!"

"With a wise minister like You Cheng here, we, the people of Jiangnan, have hope! Woohoo!"

All the officials in Jiangnan Township were moved to tears.

And Duoer did not break his promise. Next, he really continued to ask the Yuan soldiers to speed up the elimination of Zhu Wenzheng and other rebel Shenji battalions.

However, Shenji Camp is not so easy to eliminate now.

First, the Shenji Battalion has now been divided and developed, and its whereabouts are more difficult to control.

Second, the Shenji Camp has now changed its policy and liquidated the property of the landlords and bureaucrats, thus mobilizing more common people, tenants, and slaves, making these people become the help of the Shenji Camp, allowing the power of the Shenji Camp It has grown a lot.

Basically, any small-scale Yuan soldiers will be wiped out by the Shenji Battalion, which has dense eyes and is more secretly hidden.

Therefore, Yuan soldiers could only march together in large numbers.

But in this way, it would be easier for the Shenji Battalion to discover their traces, so that the officers and soldiers of the Shenji Battalion could move away the civilians in a timely manner, and search for fighters in a timely manner while blocking the attack and retreating at the same time.

Duo'er felt extremely angry about this: "Why can't the thief army Shenji Battalion be eliminated in a long time!"

While Duo'er was only angry about this, he also saw Song Lian's article in "China News", which made Duo'er even more angry: "This Song Qianxi! I want to destroy his nine tribes, but he actually said that I am the Great Yuan He is the main culprit for the violent liquidation of the gentry!"
