I want to be a grandson

Chapter 640 There is one thing I have to ask!

"It's a pleasure to meet Mr. Fang!"

As soon as Xie Jin entered the court, he immediately bowed and saluted.

Xie Jin is also a famous scholar. Although he is not a great Confucianist at this time, he is quite famous.

Therefore, Fang Xiaoru, who had acquaintance with his peers, hurriedly got up from the chair and replied: "You are too polite, please sit down quickly, why are you also in the capital?"

Xie Jin thanked him, and said in a long-winded way: "Although Mr. Fang often asked for advice in letters before, it was difficult to meet each other after all. I didn't expect to be lucky today. It is really a great joy in life!"

"I received a letter from my husband that day, and I knew that my husband was coming to the capital, so I left immediately. I didn't expect it to be a few days late, hehehe."

Fang Xiaoru and Xie Jin often exchanged their reading experience in letters, as well as their understanding of poems, songs, and sage articles.
Inevitably, sometimes government affairs will be mentioned.

So Fang Xiaoru expressed his concern about Daming's dispatch of troops in the letter, and mentioned that he would come to the capital.

After exchanging a few pleasantries and greetings, we came to the topic.

Xie Jin asked: "I don't know why Mr. Fang came to the capital this time?"

Fang Xiaoru replied: "I told you in the letter that I asked Daming to send troops for the envoy of the Japanese slave country..."

Xie Jin pretended to be astonished and said, "For this matter, the master traveled thousands of miles away, and no one came to the capital with his students?"

Realizing that his words could easily be misunderstood, he hurriedly said: "Mr. is concerned about the country and the people, I really admire you!"

"Ugh……"

Fang Xiaoru sighed and said: "Warring with other countries is a major event. As scholars, we must not ignore it, otherwise the way of saints will be buried by us?"

"I don't want to mobilize the crowd like this. It's just that the distance is too far. I'm afraid that the voice of me waiting... I'm afraid it's hard for the princes above the temple to hear, so it's better to come in person and persuade them face to face."

"Mr. Fang Gao Yi!"

Xie Jin praised: "My Ming Dynasty must have Mr. Fang's uprightness, so that I can clean up the filth and flattery!"

Then he cupped his hands and saluted: "I have the same feeling as Mr. Da Ming, how could he start the national war without authorization, he should rest with the people! I hope that Mr. Wei will follow the lead of the horse and give him his tail, and join us in persuasion!"

"Good! Great!"

Fang Xiaoru showed a smile on his face, and said happily, "With a celebrity like you joining, the weight is more than doubled! It will definitely attract the emperor's attention!"

Then he shouted to his students at the door: "Liu Xing, go and bring the article I drafted, and ask Mr. Chunyu to correct it!"

"Yes, the students obey!"

After the student took the order, he found an article and held it in front of Xie Jin, "Mr. Chunyu, please read it."

Xie Jin received it in his hand and said politely: "Mr. Fang is too polite, Mr. Master of Confucianism, with a brilliant literary talent, how could it be my junior's turn to dictate, wouldn't it be a classmate?

It is a great blessing to be able to appreciate Mr.'s masterpiece and appreciate Mr.'s writing style! "

Opening the article, watching it, I couldn't help but praise it again and again.

Finally, he said: "Mr. is a masterpiece. I have benefited a lot after reading it! It is as vigilant as morning bells and evening drums! If you don't dislike it, please ask for your signature to show your respect!"

Fang Xiaoru knew that his signature was to support himself, so of course he was very happy, and asked his students to fetch pen and ink, and Xie Jin wrote his name on the back.

……

"Your Majesty, this was just submitted by the people below, please take a look at it..."

In the hall, Wang Zhong put a memorial in front of Zhu Yunxi and asked him to watch it.

Zhu Yunxi knew that there must be something special about this memorial, otherwise Wang Zhong would just put it in the pile of memorials, how could he deliberately put it in front of him.

So I picked it up and watched it, with a smile on my face.

He praised in his mouth, "Not bad, not bad, the writing is comfortable, the handwriting is thick, thick and simple, which is very similar to Fang Xiaoru's character!"

"Well, the literary talent is good, and the sentences are very interesting to read. It is worthy of being a famous Confucianist, and it is really different!"

Seeing the emperor's praise, Zhang Fu, who was just standing by, suddenly became curious, and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, was this memorial written by that corrupt Confucian Fang Xiaoru?"

Zhu Yunxi squinted and said with a smile: "Yes, why, do you want to see it too?"

Zhang Fu repeatedly waved his hands and said: "I don't dare, this memorial is written for His Majesty, how can I read it, I am just curious, what kind of wonderful articles can such a pedantic scholar write?"

"Look at it and you'll know!"

As Zhu Yunxi said, he threw the memorial in his hand.

Zhang Fu caught it in a hurry, and opened it to watch while laughing along with him.

Although the courtiers' memorials were written to the emperor, other people can watch them as long as the emperor allows them.

After all, sometimes in order to ask the courtiers for their opinions, the emperor would inevitably show them the memorial to let them know what happened.

"How is it? Is it well written?"

Zhu Yunxi took the tea from Wang Zhong, took a sip, and asked with a smile.

"Uh, this..."

Zhang Fu was really entangled, he didn't know how to answer for a while, and quickly rolled in his mind,
Then he thought about it and said: "Returning to Your Majesty, if you want to talk about literary talent, you have nothing to say. He is worthy of being a great Confucian, and the level of writing articles will not be able to be learned by mediocre officials for a lifetime!"

"How about what he wrote..."

"How?" Zhu Yunxi asked.

"I still think he's too pedantic! He's just a rotten Confucian!"

Zhang Fu replied again: "Your Majesty, Fang Xiaoru is opposed to the use of troops by the imperial court and to assist the Japanese slave country in suppressing the rebellion. What kind of methods are gentle, what is the practice of kingship, what is the promotion of enlightenment...

What is written here? !It's just nonsense!I have only seen people killing people with knives, but I have never seen people drowning people by spitting out foam! "

Taking another look at the signature on the back of the memorial, Zhang Fu frowned and said, "Your Majesty, this Xie Jin also has a signature... They have malicious intentions!"

Standing on the side, Jiang Yu, the commander of Jinyiwei, saluted and said: "Your Majesty, Xie Jin also came to the capital after receiving Fang Xiaoru's letter. Yesterday he visited the inn, and this is why there is a joint performance."

Zhu Yunxi nodded, indicating that he knew.

Then he turned to Zhang Fu and asked, "Then tell me, why do they have bad intentions?"

Zhang Fu pointed to the memorial and said: "Your Majesty, isn't this obvious? There are only a few people in the world who can be called great Confucianists and famous scholars. Among them, Fang Xiaoru and Xie Jin are the most famous.

Now two of them came here at once, and they even jointly wrote a petition to persuade His Majesty, this... this is simply..."

At the end, Zhang Fu couldn't help scratching his head,
He could feel the intention in it, but he was so ignorant that he really didn't know how to describe it...

Two famous Confucian scholars who have attracted worldwide attention, came to Beijing to jointly persuade and advise, will you listen or not?
Do not listen?

Then you are a senseless and stupid king who does not listen to faithful advice!
He doesn't care if their persuasion is right or wrong, anyway, because of their status, there will naturally be people who will follow and support them!
And according to the literati's style, if you don't listen, they will try their best to discredit it!
Scolding in articles, irony in poems, sarcasm in letters, metaphors in paintings,
The means are all kinds of strange, and they are all channels for them to vent!
So this is also the reason why ancient emperors were afraid of literati!

Take Li Shimin who created the rule of Zhenguan as an example. He was the number one virtuous emperor among the emperors of the Tang Dynasty. Isn't he still overwhelmed by Wei Zheng?

Even his own words and deeds, as well as small personal matters, have to be managed by him!
Otherwise you are a fool!
What if the emperor listened?
That means they are the right ones to persuade and remonstrate!
It was the emperor who made a mistake!

Therefore, it is also a virtue to know mistakes and correct them.

But sitting in a high position, sitting on the throne of the emperor, how can you leave an impression on the people of the world that you often do wrong things!

What majesty does the imperial decree have?
People may think, maybe this is wrong again!It might be canceled after a while...

Not only ordinary people, but even officials think so!
I obeyed the imperial court's decree and did a lot of hard work, but in the end the imperial court changed it back...

Doesn't this make you look incompetent?

After a long time, which official will carry out the decree?
It must be procrastinated if you can, and if you can’t do it, don’t do it!

Anyway, it will change again...

Therefore, this is not only a great blow to the emperor's prestige, but even the implementation of government affairs will become passive and negligent...

Zhang Fu suggested: "Your Majesty, why don't I lead someone to arrest Fang Xiaoru, his disciples and students, and Xie Jin! Lock them up in the big prison! It's done once and for all! To save them from making trouble again! "

Zhu Yunxie glared at him angrily and said, "Fangmin's mouth is worse than Fangchuan's. It's easy to arrest and behead them, but can you stop Youyou's mouth?"

Zhang Fu scratched his head anxiously: "Your Majesty, the mouths of literati are deceitful ghosts! Everything is changed in their mouths! It is too difficult to stop their mouths!"

"Humph!"

Zhu Yunxi snorted coldly and said, "I've given you a task, you should think about it now, how to stop their mouths! Then stuff a mouthful of horse manure into their mouths!"

"what……"

Zhang Fu's eyes widened involuntarily, and he froze there, really not knowing how to answer.

Looking at Wang Zhong, Li Fu, and Jin Yiwei's commander Jiang Yu, Zhu Yunxi also said: "Think about it too, whoever thinks of it will be rewarded!"

"Ah, yes, the servant obeys..."

Several people looked at each other, with bitter expressions on their faces.

It's easy to kill someone with a knife, but it's too difficult to shut someone up!
It's hell-level difficulty!
Especially the famous Confucian scholars, you can't torture them severely, and you can't coerce or lure them, otherwise, if they shout, it will be a scandal that shocks the government and the public!
What else can you do?
"Your Majesty, what should we do with this memorial?" Zhang Fu asked.

Zhu Yunxi smiled, "It's an eyesore to me, so there's no need to return it. Don't you appreciate Fang Xiaoru's literary talents? Enjoy it carefully. When you've enjoyed it enough, you can burn a fire or use it as toilet paper. It's up to you!"

"..."

Zhang Fu was speechless for a moment.

He originally asked how to reply, or how to deal with Fang Xiaoru, Xie Jin and others,
It's not about where to put the memorial...

Holding the memorial in his hand, Zhang Fu immediately felt that it was a hot potato, neither to throw it away nor to keep it.

At noon, Zhu Yunxi went to the Dashan Hall and had dinner with Zhu Yuanzhang.

Although it was just a few side dishes, I don't know whether it was Zhu Yuanzhang who planted it himself or the cook's amazing craftsmanship. In short, Zhu Yunxi thought it was very delicious.

I even ate an extra bowl of rice!
After eating, he sat in the side hall and chatted with Zhu Yuanzhang while drinking herbal tea.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "We heard that the envoys of the Japanese Nu Kingdom asked you to send troops?"

"Yes, that's what they requested, and they also donated their own country, Hokkaido, to Daming as a token of gratitude."

"I'm afraid it's not for that island, is it? No matter how big it is, it can't satisfy your appetite!"

Zhu Yunxi said frankly: "The emperor still understands me!"

"Stop flattering!" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily.

After saying this, he shook his head again, "I really don't know where your hostility comes from..."

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well in his heart that what his grandson planned was not an island at all!

What he wants is the entire Japanese slave country!
To be more precise, what he wants is not that piece of land, but to let them perish!

Zhu Yuanzhang admitted that he also hated the Japanese slave country because Japanese pirates repeatedly invaded Ming Dynasty.

But he couldn't figure out why his grandson always harbored hatred towards the Wa Nu Kingdom, something he didn't have towards other regimes...

Even for the three tribes of Mongolia in the north, he was only annoyed at the Oara Tatar's harassment of Daming. Although he didn't say it clearly, Zhu Yuanzhang could feel that he just wanted to deal with the enemy, and he didn't have the kind of hatred from the heart!
But if you want to talk about the threat to Ming Dynasty, the threat from the Wala Tatar is obviously greater!
There are more sabotage and harassment of Daming!
This has been the case from the founding of the Ming Dynasty to the present.

It is obvious that his hatred for the Japanese slave country is far greater than theirs...

Shaking his head, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "We know that you are a measured person, you will not mobilize troops for no reason,

Although we haven't been able to figure it out, we know that you must have your own ideas, so we won't stop you, so just do what you want! "

"Yes, grandson, thank you, Grandpa Huang..."

Zhu Yunxi was extremely moved.

Because there are things he can't explain.

You can't tell Zhu Yuanzhang that the people of the Japanese slave country have done a lot of evil things, how much disaster they have caused to the Chinese people, how inhumane they are, like beasts, right?
You can't say that you are taking precautions before they happen, and let them pay a heavy price, right?

But even if he didn't make any explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang still supported him, and didn't even ask him why he did it...

How does this make him feel uncomfortable...

"lets change a topic……"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said, "Now you are the emperor of Ming Dynasty, you can decide what to do, we don't want to ask..."

"But there is one thing we have to ask!"

Seeing his solemn expression, Zhu Yunxi felt that he had something important to do, so he hurriedly asked, "Um, grandpa emperor, what are you talking about? Just order anything!"
