Chapter 29 The fundamental dispute (1)

"Master Taishan, I should have brought Yan'er and Ye'er, but my mother left them in the palace." Zhu Zhi said respectfully to Guo Ying.

Guo Ying's face was rosy and full of energy: "Haha, it doesn't matter, Concubine Han naturally loves the child very much, so I will naturally feel at ease in the palace."

Zhu Zhi took out two letters from his arms and said, "This is the letter from Xiu'er and Jianzhi. Please read it by Lord Taishan."

Guo Ying took the letter and didn't read it. She gently placed it on the table and said, "Ming'er has followed His Highness in the past two years. Has this kid made progress?"

Zhu Zhi said: "Jianzhi is calm and humble, and is indeed a good helper."

Guo Ying said: "Your Highness, it is precisely because Ming'er and you have such a relationship that we should be strictly regulated and we should not let this child go. "

Zhu Zhi said: "I naturally don't have the advantage of this. It's just that Jianzhi is really relieved to do things, and he doesn't have the habit of a playboy."

Guo Ying nodded and signaled that everyone serving on the side would go down. Seeing that there was no one around, he leaned over and said to Zhu Zhi: "Gao Wei is the king of Yan. Judging from the current situation, Your Highness should be safe."

Zhu Zhi was not surprised. He was prepared for it. Zhu Di seemed to be determined to defeat him. Zhu Zhi said: "So what if you don't know the direction of the stroke in the court?"

Guo Ying said: "The emperor naturally trusts His Highness with me. The most unknown is the position of the crown prince. The day before yesterday, the crown prince refused to see His Highness because he was sick, and seemed to have made a gesture to alienate His Highness."

Zhu Zhi said helplessly: "Is he going to take the blame too?"

Guo Ying said: "Your Highness, don't worry. In my opinion, the biggest threat to the grandson is still the King of Yan. The person arranged by the prince for the grandson cannot persuade the grandson to attack your prince.

At this time, you should keep Your Highness even more, so I think that the more urgent the King of Yan is, the less trouble your Highness is."

Zhu Zhi said: "How can I explain the way Taisun does? Even Mianren can't see through it, which is really anxious."

Guo Ying said: "Give me peace of mind. When he entered the palace the day before yesterday, his highness was scolded by the emperor, but he only thundered and did not rain. He was not imprisoned or seized the title, which means that the emperor still did not intend to take down His Highness. But he didn't know what his Highness had to make arrangements."

Zhu Zhi said: "What arrangements can be made? This is in the capital. I intend to alienate Lord Yang. Lord Lian and the others did not contact them either."

Guo Ying said: "Mr. Yang and I have some friendship. I secretly sent someone to find Mr. Yang to give me some advice and repay Your Highness. But there are people in the court to help you, and Your Highness must also make a statement. I wonder what kind of gifts your Highness has prepared this time?"

Zhu Shi said: "Sir Taishan, I may be wronged by Yan'er and Ye'er this time. I am going to leave them both in the palace. Let my mother teach them to read and write. In addition, this time I will bring ten warships to present them as birthday gifts to my father."

Guo Ying nodded and said, "This arrangement is very good. If you are in the capital, please rest assured that your highness is your life, I will protect my two grandchildren.

Yang Jing, the Minister of Justice, frowned in a rope. He was ordered to enter the palace to participate in the court meeting on Gao Wei's impeachment of King Liao. He could not guess what the holy intention was.

The crown prince didn't know why he acted ignorant. Could it be that he really let the King of Liao be beaten down? No, he can't let the King of Liao fall down. This is the only one who restricts the King of Yan.

Even if Huang Zicheng is indifferent, he will still turn the tide on the Golden Palace.

The official sedan chair suddenly stopped, and a bustle came from the front. A follower next to the sedan chair said, "Sir, there is a civilian in front of him who blocks the sedan chair and calls for injustice."

"Xiaomin, Liaodong businessman Zhao Zhengxiong... Liaodong businessman Li Dachunte comes from the head." Two simple-dressed men kneeled on the ground, but their waists were straight. The leader raised a piece of paper over their heads with both hands.

Yang Jing felt a sudden heart, and the word Liaodong was particularly conspicuous. What kind of person is Yang Jing, and immediately realized the importance of the two people in front of him. Yang Jing asked, "What are you surrendering yourself?"

Zhao Zhengxiong said: "Sir Hui, we were doing business with the Northern Yuan Tartars without telling the government. Now I feel sorry for the court and my ancestors, so I came to the capital to surrender."

Yang Jing quickly took the paper of the two of them and quickly browsed it. It turned out to be a self-reporter. He stuffed the confession into his arms and ordered his men to detain the two of them in the prison cell of the Ministry of Justice.

...

In Fengtian Hall, ministers gathered, and the court meeting to decide Zhu Zhi's fate is in progress.

Ru Rong, the Minister of War, said eruditely: "Exemption of agricultural tax? It is simply a disaster for the country, the people and the people. The so-called exemption of agricultural tax is based on the development of business as the basis for establishing a country.

But this will inevitably be at the cost of indulging merchants to be profit-oriented, so as to achieve the goal of exempting agricultural tax. Merchants must first talk about profit in everything, and the people will easily fight for business, which is the beginning of chaos.

Therefore, the reason why the ancient sage kings guided their people was to focus on farmers first; the farmers were not for the advantage of the land, but for their ambition.

Therefore, the emperor decided the Ming Dynasty's national policy of agriculture-based, which was to use the simplicity of agriculture to determine the foundation of the country. Even if a businessman can benefit and enrich the country, it will not be a long-term solution. Two and three generations will be in chaos.

Zhu Zhi's criticism is no longer limited to simple debate on charges, but the focus has shifted to the debate on heavy commerce.

The conservative party led by Ru Yi launched a full-scale attack on Zhu Zhi. If these people were likely to be the one party of the King of Yan, it would be really hard to understand that even Liu Sanwu jumped out.

Liu Sanwu said: "The ancients said that gold, silver, pearls and jade cannot be eaten when hungry or thirsty, it is worse than grain, silk and hemp. Just like the style of opening up the Shang Dynasty, the people must value profit over righteousness, which is the way to cause disaster.

To emphasize agriculture and suppress commerce is a long-term solution. Agricultural tax is also to fix the people on the land. Otherwise, even agricultural tax will not be levied, and all people in the world will lose fear. How can the court control it at that time? I hope the emperor thinks twice."

This is a bit difficult to deal with. In the deepest part of Zhu Zhi’s heart, he never understood this truth. The vested interest groups of the Ming Dynasty were all rooted in rural landlord groups. They made profits from farmland and formed the most basic structure of the empire.

The lowest level of this structure is billions of farmers, the top is self-cultivated farmers, and then the top is small landlords, and then to large landlords. The reason why this structure is stable is that it combines the foundation of etiquette and law of Confucian monarchs, ministers and ministers, thus forming an extremely stable structure.

Zhu Zhi realized that at the beginning of a dynasty, such a structure had not yet been consolidated. Perhaps the best time to change it at this time is to change it. But how should we pass this level in front of us?

Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect that Zhu Zhi's thoughts had already flown out of the sky, and he only said that he was speechless. Ru Feng said again: "Now there are many places in Liaodong, there are few people, so naturally I won't feel many problems.

However, once the merchants became powerful, they naturally sought politics and chaotic politics. The Qin Dynasty had Lu Buwei, which was a precedent for chaos by chaotic business. Now, with the support of His Highness the King of Liao, the merchants dared to trade with the Northern Yuan Tartars, which was a lawless situation.

Such a disaster has to be eliminated."

The censor Hu Guang also said: "Since our dynasty was founded, the four barbarians surrendered, and Mongolia came to the court. According to the opinions of the ministers, he sent good generals to the outside world to strictly guard the four realms and cultivated benevolence and morality in the internal world. He could not fight and betrayal and ruthless.

When Shun was at that time, Miao was not convinced, and Yu was about to attack him. Shun said, "No. The best virtues are not strong and the martial arts are not the way." The Japanese pirates plundered my coast and wanted to seek my wealth and goods.

Is it because Liaodong emphasizes business and neglects agriculture, and now Liaodong is in a state of war and uses violence to fight violence. How can we do our kingly way of the Celestial Dynasty in the long run? "After talking about business, the firepower is transferred to Liaodong military affairs.

Wuding Marquis Guo Ying came out and said, "Your Majesty, I have ever walked in Liaodong. The dangers of the border areas cannot be felt above the temple.

Since the fifteenth year of Hongwu, Liaodong returned to our territory, there was no war in a day. There were Jurchens in the north, Goryeo in the east, Northern Yuan in the west, and Japanese pirates in the sea. They were attacked from all sides and were in danger. If they did not repair their weapons and build warships, how could they be convinced by the four barbarians?

In the fourth year of the vassal period of His Royal Highness, the Jurchens in Peking, surrendered to Goryeo in the east, resisted the Northern Yuan in the west, and suppressed the Japanese tide. All of them were the achievements of His Royal Highness's management, and their reliance was military preparation rather than benevolence.

I, Guo Ying, are a rough man. I started a war with Long since I was a child. I only knew that only one hand with wheat ears and the other hand with swords would the other hand respectfully offer wheat ears.

Did the Song Dynasty do the same as Yao and Shun in the past, but what in the end? Did the Tartars talk about benevolence to us Han people?" After Guo Ying said this, all the generals in the class laughed.

Although the firepower of the civil servants today is strong, Zhu Zhi's opinion does not touch the core of the problem, so he is still very relaxed and is thinking about how to respond.

Another person flashed out in the civil servant class. This person was thin and small, but his face was like a jade crown, and his three long beards looked particularly elegant. He was neither the other person nor the censor Xie Jin, who was a famous figure in history.

It is said in history that "Jin Shao entered the court, had a high talent, had a straightforward position, and was well-known inside and outside. He was a good scholar, and he was a good person to be called "and he could not speak." He also used his talents to control the decree of the prince.

Emperor Yongle liked his youngest son Zhu Gaoxu, and asked Xie Jin about his decree and establishment. Jin said, "The eldest son of the emperor is kind and filial, and the world is in love." The emperor refused. Jin paused his head and said, "Good saint grandson."

"It is about Emperor Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji, who was loved by Zhu Di at that time when Zhu Zhanji was young and Yingwei. So Zhu Di completely cut off Yi Chu's intention.

Xie Jin said: "According to my opinion, what Mr. Guo said is very true, and what Lord Hu said is not without reason. The king is rich in the people, the overlord is rich in the country, the only remaining rich in the country, the rich in the basket, and the treasury is actually the treasury.

The baskets and boxes are already rich, the treasury is already solid, and the people are poor. This is what is called overflowing and leaking. Those who promote business will compete with the people for profit and shake the root of the country, just like this.

His Highness the King of Liao also aims to enrich the country, but he is not right. If the country is shaken by the rich country, he doesn’t know who will rely on to become rich in this way?

As for military affairs, it is undeniable that the soldiers on the frontier are in danger of war. However, since the emperor ascended the throne for thirty years, Yu Yu clarified that the world was returning to the world, and resting with the people, it was not a long-term peace.

Moreover, if the military campaign is at the cost of raising businesses, it will be even more worthwhile to lose the foundation and end. Both of these are the ways to destroy the country."
