Ming Dynasty: My father Yongle, Forever Reigns Over Mountains and Rivers

Numb!

Completely numb!

Zhang Xu never expected that Prince Zhu Gaochi would be in Nuan Pavilion!

What frightened him even more was that the government and the public had always believed that the Crown Prince and the Prince of Han were at odds with each other because of their fight for the right to inherit the throne. It could even be said that the two brothers were incompatible!

But what's the result?

The two brothers in front of me look as good as wearing crotch pants!

Although Zhang Xu is a loyal and outspoken minister, it does not mean that he is a fool!

Without much thought, Zhang Xu immediately understood that the prince and the king of Han were deliberately putting on a show in front of the officials!

Any battles over heir apparents or brotherly discord were all deliberately staged by these two brothers for all the officials to see!

When he thought of this, Zhang Xu felt that it was extremely ironic and ridiculous!

He is worthy of being a noble man of the old Zhu family!

This ability to play with people's hearts is truly more exciting than the last!

Big Fatty didn't give him time to continue his emotion, but shouted in a low voice: Zhang Xu, Gu is asking you, is Gu your king?

Yes! Zhang Xu looked solemn and said seriously: The prince is the crown prince of the country. His status is different from that of ordinary royal families. His Royal Highness is also the king!

Hearing this, Big Fatty's face became a little brighter, and he continued to ask: So I want you to write the removal of honorary titles into the Ming Dynasty's laws, can you do it?

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Xu looked miserable, hesitated for a long time, and finally touched his head to the ground, unwilling to follow the order.

Your Highness, this burden is too heavy. I am old and frail...I cannot bear it!

Even if he doesn't think about himself, he still has to think about his descendants.

Offending the gentry and officials in the world, the old Zhang family is tantamount to self-destruction, and there is no possibility of recovery!

Hearing Zhang Xu's words, Big Fatty was so angry that he sneered again and again.

Okay, that's great! Is this what you said about eating the king's salary and being loyal to the king?

It's a pity that my father often told me that you, Zhang Xu, are a rare and loyal minister, and that I can be entrusted with important responsibilities in the future. Is this how you, Zhang Xu, are loyal to the emperor? Is this how you repay the emperor's favor?

Back then, because of your upright temperament, Zhang Xu offended Lu Zhen, who was the Minister of Punishment at the time, and was sent to prison for making slanderous remarks in front of his father. It was Gu Go who begged for you and explained the whole story clearly, so that you could The official was restored to his original position, and even promoted to the position of minister of the dynasty...

Zhu Gaoxu listened quietly and secretly praised his big brother.

Big Fatty's method of winning over people's hearts is really masterful!

No wonder the world has always praised him for his generosity and kindness, and his consideration for his officials. He gave away a lot of favors casually. Who wouldn't be willing to be driven by him and work for him?

Look at Xu in front of me. When I just told him, this guy was still holding his neck and yelling that the errand could not be done!

Now it was Big Fatty's turn to come on stage, but with just a few words, Zhang Xu was brought to tears. The look made Zhu Gaoxu feel pitiful.

Big, fat, awesome!

Well, why are you still holding hands?

Big Fatty personally stepped forward, helped Zhang Xu up with tears streaming down his face, held his hands and comforted him warmly.

Yanwei (Zhang Xu), I know what you are worried about. Isn't it just that you are afraid of hurting your family?

I can assure you that only those officials who have committed serious crimes will be removed from office, so that you will not offend the scholars in the world.

Hearing this, Zhang Xu wiped away his tears and felt a little calmer.

If an official commits a serious crime, he may even be executed. It doesn't matter whether he is expelled or not.

If that's the case, that's acceptable.

What Zhang Xu is really afraid of is that the thief Prince Han has set the threshold for expulsion from honors too low. If Taizu is greedy for sixty years and peeling off the grass, he doesn't care about the interests of officials at all!

Fortunately, with the Crown Prince's promise, Zhang Xu nodded.

But he did not forget to remind: Prince, Prince of Han, and scholars are the foundation of our Ming Dynasty. We must not act rashly!

Even if there are one or two black sheep, they are only a minority. Most of the scholars are loyal to the court and to His Majesty!

Zhang Xu was really scared. The two brothers deliberately played a double act in front of the officials. One was a white face and the other was a bad face. They must be planning some big move, most likely to attack the gentry's reputation!

After all, the issue of local gentry annexing fields mentioned by the King of Han at the court meeting was getting more and more popular!

The main reason why those local gentry were able to annex fields was because they had the privilege of being exempt from taxes and labor due to their fame!

If their fame is abolished, these gentry gentlemen, who can only stretch their hands for clothes and open their mouths for food, will not even be able to cultivate the land, but will only starve to death!

The more Zhang Xu thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the more he thought about it, the more timid he became, so he decided to say it all once and for all.

One or two gentry, in the eyes of the court, are like ants, they can be killed casually!

But have the Prince and the King of Han ever thought about how many gentry there are in the world today? Tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands? Or millions?

The two highnesses only saw the small profits from the gentry's occupation of the fields, but they never thought that once a war started against these gentry, the court would have no chance of winning, and maybe the Ming Dynasty would be overturned in one fell swoop!

As a loyal and outspoken official, Zhang Xu could be said to have fulfilled his duty of admonishing officials.

However, when his words fell into Big Fatty's ears, they strengthened his confidence in supporting his second son to promote the new learning!

Zhang Xu's words, in other words, mean that the real masters of the Ming Dynasty are not the old Zhu family, but the local gentry!

This is similar to what my second son said before, whoever controls the land has the right to speak to the people.

This was only the Yongle period, and the old Zhu family no longer had the surname Zhu!

If these famous disciples are allowed to continue to control the official career and annex the land, then the rich emperor of the old Zhu family may become a puppet emperor who is manipulated by others!

Therefore, Cheng Zhu’s position really needs to be moved!

Zhang Xu saw that the prince's face was gloomy and uncertain, so he continued to administer a strong dose of medicine!

If your two highnesses insist on attacking the scholar's reputation, aren't you afraid that the world's gentry will fall into the arms of the vassal king and let me, the Ming Dynasty, carry out another Jingnan campaign?!

As soon as these words came out, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Big Pangpang's expression changed, and Zhu Gaoxu was silent.

Although Zhang Xu's words were somewhat exaggerated, he had to admit that it was not impossible.

The gentry annexed the fields and gained more money and food. If you put a knife to their necks, these shameless scholars might choose a vassal king from the old Zhu family and rise up!

After all, Zhu Gaoxu and his family got their start through rebellion. They can be called rebel professionals!

Okay, Zhang Xu, don't worry about it for nothing and write the dismissal of meritorious service into the Ming Dynasty law!

You don't need to worry about the rest. Just go and stay where it's cool!

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand angrily, signaling Zhang Xu to get out of here.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Dashang wanted to scold the thief, but due to the huge gap in strength between the two sides, he could only walk away angrily.

After he left, Big Fatty was still angry.

Even Zhang Xu, who was loyal and outspoken, looked like this. You can imagine how miserable other civil servants would be.

Thinking of this, Big Fatty felt sick.

Boy, have you compiled your new textbook? Hurry up and promote it. I feel angry just looking at those bastards!

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he rolled his eyes at him angrily.

The teaching materials have been compiled, but the promotion of new learning is tantamount to a huge change. You, the prince, can only stand by and watch, and you can even attack the new learning when necessary.

I cannot go down personally, otherwise the King of Han will be tied to the new learning, which is not conducive to the promotion of the new learning!

Hearing this, Big Fatty also felt a headache.

Can't Xie Jin do it?

Xie Gongbao is just a knowledgeable political idiot. He can only carry the flag to attract hatred, otherwise he will be played to death without even knowing it!
