  Chapter 489 486 [Emperor Si Zonggang]

  If it weren't for the development plans of Sichuan and Guangxi, Zhao Han would never have known that opium had become popular in the upper circles of Nanjing.

   There are not just hundreds of people, but more than 1,300 people!

  The officials of Hanlin Academy and Qintian Academy have already fallen by a quarter. I can't tell who started the trend, anyway, they all regard opium as a good thing, and when they are tired and sleepy, they come to take a few sips to relieve fatigue and refresh themselves.

  Even Xiao Shizhong, the dean of Qintian Academy, a leading mathematician in the New Dynasty of Datong, and the former crush of younger sister Zhao Zhenfang, has become a loyal fan of opium.

   "Why are you touching that thing?" Zhao Han was heartbroken.

  Xiao Shizhong couldn't understand: "Your Majesty, why not take drugs? The two formulas I deduced this year are all inspired by taking drugs."

  Zhao Han could only explain intimidatingly: "This is poison. If you take it for a long time, your internal organs will rot, your mind will become dizzy, and your teeth will fall out. And the longer you take it, the harder it is to quit. In the end, you will know it is poison."

  Xiao Shizhong was skeptical about this, and always felt that the emperor's alarmist words.

  Zhao Han asked: "How did you **** it?"

Xiao Shizhong replied: "This spring, I was very tired from studying mathematics. One of my subordinates sent me medicine, saying that this product can relieve my fatigue. After I smoked it, many people in the Qintian Academy thought it was a good idea. thing."

   Zhao Han cannot be blamed, and those who do not know are not guilty.

  Until World War I, Europe and the United States still regarded drugs as good medicine, and during World War II, synthetic drugs were listed as military supplies. The same goes for radioactive elements, which, because science is fashionable, even advertise baby products as containing radioactive elements.

   Fortunately, opium is very expensive, and it has not been spread among civilians for the time being, so it is very convenient for the government to investigate and arrest.

   Basically, if you catch one, you can bring it out for a circle.

   Even if you want to hide it, you can't deny it. If you throw it into a prison for two days, the addicts will definitely scream wildly.

  Zhao Han said to Xiao Shizhong: "You temporarily suspend your job and quit the drug. If you can't quit, not only can you not continue to be the dean of Qintian, but you will not be able to study mathematics from tonight."

  Xiao Shizhong was startled and said, "Your Majesty, you can stop being an official, why can't you study mathematics?"

Zhao Han couldn't help laughing and said: "Don't think about obedience and transgression, keep you imprisoned, don't give you paper and pen, let's see how you do your research! Of course, this time is an exception. You can rehabilitate well in prison, while refraining from opiates. Do your research."

   There were so many pleadings. Li Kefa, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, came to intercede with his son himself.

  He didn't dare to disobey Zhao Han's will, so he just asked to take his son home and let his family take care of him to wean him off slowly.

  Zhao Han said directly: "You can take your son home, let's talk about it after resigning. By the way, you can go to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and see why I forbid smoking drugs."

  Resignation?

   Li Kefa was so frightened that he shut up immediately, and was taken to the prison of the Ministry of Justice by the guards.

  In just a few days, there are more than a thousand people here. The cells are all overcrowded, there are no single rooms, and there are no double rooms. Twenty or thirty people are crowded into one cell.

   "I beg the messenger, give me a bite!"

   "Let me out, let me out!"

   "I'm dying, untie me quickly, I'm going to hit the wall and commit suicide!"

   "..."

  When Li Kefa came to the area where drug addicts were detained, he was terrified.

  Hundreds of people suffered from drug addiction, crying and screaming. Their hands and feet were bound, and they rolled all over the floor in discomfort. Some even lost control of their urine and feces.

   "Li Shilang, Young Master Ling is inside." The jailer pointed to a cell and said.

  Li Kefa identified for a long time before he recognized who his son was.

   Li Zhun is locked up with his good friend Fei Ruyi, and both of them are in a state of drug addiction. Fei Ruyi's voice was hoarse, her face was full of tears and snot, and she was still twisting and twisting. Li Zhun huddled in the corner and kept hitting the wall with his head, but lying on the ground with his hands and feet tied, the force of hitting the wall could at most knock him out.

  Li Kefa turned around and looked at the other cells. This situation was everywhere, and his whole body turned cold: "This ghost is also, A Furongguo is a harmful thing!"

   Not long after, officials from the cabinet, the ten cao, and the ten ministries were brought in by the prison guards in batches for observation.

  They couldn't understand Zhao Han's policy, so they were thrown by the emperor collectively.

  Li Banghua watched silently, then left silently. Not only did he understand, but he also went home that night, called all his wives, concubines, and grandchildren, and said harshly: "From now on, anyone who dares to take drugs and drugs will be expelled from the door without asking why. You can't enter the ancestral hall. I will write back to Jiangxi immediately, and the descendants of the Li family will all follow this rule. The family law and family rules must also be added!"

  The great Confucianist Zhang Pu is a special case. He lives in a single room in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and allows his servants to deliver medicine every day.

  Zhang Pu was ill all year round, and occasionally took opium, feeling that it could relieve the pain, so he gradually became addicted.

  When he was first taken into prison, Zhang Pu was very angry, thinking it was an insult to him.

  But when he saw the situation in the prison, Zhang Pu instantly understood the emperor's intention. He offered to tie himself up, sat cross-legged in a corner, and silently recited various sage articles. After the attack, he gritted his teeth and tried his best to roll and roar in dissatisfaction.

   Even, Zhang Pu began to use the cultivation methods of the Guiji School of Yangming Xinxue to seriously think about the principles of heaven, morality and conscience before and after the onset of drug addiction.

  The physical and mental pain, the screams around, all become firewood for practice.

  In just two months, Zhang Pu was released from prison. This gentleman is really determined. Moreover, his knowledge changed from specializing in Neo-Confucianism to a combination of Psychology and Neo-Confucianism, and when he was old, he underwent a major change in thinking.

  More than a thousand addicts have successfully detoxified one after another.

   Those who failed, are either still closed or dead!

  Seven people died suddenly in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice due to drug addiction.

  Qian Qianyi, with the mentality of watching a joke, specially held a literary meeting to clean up the dust for Zhang Pu who was released from prison.

  Zhang Pu happily went to the appointment, and when everyone arrived, he asked with a smile, "Why didn't you prepare medicines for such an elegant literary meeting?"

  Everyone was horrified.

  A scholar of the Hanlin Academy said: "I dare not have such a harmful person. If the government finds out, not only will my own official career be cut off, but even my children and grandchildren will not be able to be officials."

   "Hahahaha!" Zhang Pu laughed heartily.

  Qian Qianyi teased: "Ximing has been sitting as a boss for two months, but unexpectedly, his spirit has improved, and even his previous chronic illness has healed."

  Zhang Pu waved his hand: "The stubborn disease is still there, and it will definitely recur after winter."

  Qian Qianyi felt so boring, but Zhang Pu was calm, so he couldn't use this matter to make fun of him.

But Zhang Pu said: "A lotus is highly poisonous. The poison enters the viscera and the mind without knowing it. The onset of toxicity is like dying. You must never try that kind of poison again. It is life and death many times. ', if there is something to gain in the emptiness."

   "Ji" comes from "Yi Zhuan": Yi has no thought, no action, is silent and unmoving, and feels and then communicates with the world.

  From the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Yangming School of Mind, the "Guiji School" came into being, and their core idea is "conscience is inherently silent".

  Although the Qing Dynasty cut off the study of the mind, the cultivation method of the Guiji School of the study of the mind was incorporated into the self-cultivation system of the Confucianism of the Qing Dynasty. Self-cultivation did not understand a few, but only a lot of Taoists, Zeng Guofan and his like are the representative figures.

  Next, Zhang Pu began to talk about his feelings in prison, and began to talk about his synaesthesia of emptiness.

Qian Qianyi became more and more bored the more he listened. He only regarded Zhang Pu as a magic stick, and immediately changed the topic and said: "We are all officials of the Imperial Academy, and we have already compiled "Datong Zhengyin" and "Datong Dictionary". "Datong Elementary School Chinese Textbook", "Datong Middle School Chinese Textbook". Now I have nothing to do, I can only study history by myself, why not jointly request His Majesty to compile "History of Ming Dynasty"."

  Zhang Pu said unhappily: "Beijing is in the hands of the intruder Li Zicheng, and the records of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty are all in the Forbidden City in Beijing. Without the records and historical drafts, shall we make it up out of thin air?"

  Qian Qianyi said: "I ask Your Majesty to send troops to recover Beijing next year. Even if Your Majesty refuses, the next best thing is to give the former Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty the temple name and posthumous title."

   "It's possible," Zhang Pu nodded and said, "Beijing has not yet been restored, and the temple name and posthumous title of Emperor Chongzhen are still pending. It would be unseemly to keep procrastinating like this."

  Hou Fangyu was also thrown into the Hanlin Academy as a bachelor. He suggested: "I can take out some temple names and posthumous names first, and leave it to His Majesty to decide."

   After some discussion, they took out more than a dozen temple names and posthumous names, and Qian Qianyi and Zhang Pu took them to ask the emperor for instructions.

  Of course, one must first request the compilation of "History of the Ming Dynasty", but give up due to lack of historical materials, and then ask the emperor for permission to name the former monarch.

  Zhao Han flipped through the pile of things and asked: "Pseudo-Qing and Pseudo-Shun also registered Chongzhen. What did they establish?"

  Qian Qianyi replied: "Emperor Huaizongduan was established in puppet Qing Dynasty, Emperor Sizongshen was established in puppet Shun Dynasty, and Emperor Weizonglie was established in Yunnan puppet dynasty."

  Huaizong and Sizong are both temple titles of the king of subjugation.

  Emperor Duan and Emperor Shen both carry the meaning of knowing etiquette and self-denial.

  Neither praise nor derogatory, normal and normal, Dorgon and Li Zicheng, there is no need to be disgusting about this matter.

  Zhao Han looked through the things they presented, searched carefully and thought: "Emperor Si Zonggang."

  Catching up to the past is called rigidity, self-improvement is rigidity, political punishment is clear and decisive, righteousness is courageous, righteousness and courage are rigidity... Although it is only a posthumous posthumous title, Zhao Han has already beautified Chongzhen.

  Zhao Han has now given Chongzhen a temple name and a posthumous title. Only when Daming is in the south can the real turning point be considered. This is called the final conclusion.

  Qian Qianyi and Zhang Pu bowed out, with joy on their faces.

  They hated Chongzhen in the past, but now they miss him a little. To be able to give Chongzhen a good posthumous title is also a matter of peace, and he can gain the gratitude of the scholars of the previous dynasty.

   "Your Majesty is still kind." Zhang Pu said with emotion.

  Qian Qianyi also sighed: "Yes, it is considered extremely kind."

  The two left, Zhang Dai, who went to North Korea to become the king, returned to Nanjing to report to the emperor.

   After reporting on the situation of the mission, Zhang Dai cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the King of Korea please send the younger sister to Nanjing to be a court lady."

  It doesn’t matter if a maid is a court lady, she can still be released from the palace when she reaches the marriageable age, and she can find a lover to marry. Zhao Han nodded and said, "Yes."

  The younger sister of the King of Korea, the only daughter of Li Ji, the historical Lord Xiaoming, is only six years old this year...

  This is a consistent practice in North Korea. Select the young daughters of high-ranking officials and nobles and send them to the Ming court to be court ladies. There is a certain chance that they will be conferred as concubines.

  In the middle and early Ming Dynasty, they also liked to select foreign boys and girls and bring them into the palace to be eunuchs and maids. Because they have no relatives in Daming, they are not afraid that their relatives will interfere with politics.

  Vietnamese eunuchs, Korean court ladies, that is a major feature of Ming Dynasty.

   It's just that the current king of North Korea, who rose to power through a coup d'état, is so humble to China that he sent his sister to be a court lady.
