my days with tyrants

Chapter 137 I Draw Manga in Ming Dynasty

In this way, Zhu Yunwen was betrayed by his fourteenth aunt.

He was not reconciled to sinking like this.

In fact, King Qi's interception and killing of Yang Feng had nothing to do with him.

Because the real masterminds are Liu Sanwu, Huang Zicheng and others. Here, Liu Sanwu is his teacher, and Huang Zicheng is his ex-reading companion. The current one can be said to be a bosom friend.Lian Zining, who was dead, was also the core Confucian scholar who surrounded him in the past, so Lian Zining was sacrificing himself to protect the group behind him with him as the core.

As for why the little princess can know...

What does she not know?

She roams around the inner houses of all the princes and nobles every day, and there is no intelligence network that can be compared to the people who sleep next to her.

perfume.

glass mirror.

soap.

……

In any case, this is what women in the inner house are rushing to.

"My father should have already guessed this matter, or Jin Yiwei would have found out for him, but for some reason, he didn't pursue it further, and just killed Lian Zining and a few others.

But it's more like covering for Yun Wen.

As for Zhan Hui, it was simply that my father wanted to kill him.

He has been the Minister of the Ministry of Officials for eight years, and he is also the censor of Zuodu. These years, he has been crowding out dissidents in the court and arbitrating power. My father has long been dissatisfied with him. Before my father wanted Ling Han to retire, Ling Han said he Retirement is bound to be killed by Zhan Hui, and my father did not let him retire in the end.

I'm sure my dad felt the same way.

In addition, the White Lotus Sect in Shandong is probably the one who deliberately spread rumors.

While recommending Ling Han to investigate, and at the same time letting people create rumors about the White Lotus Sect in Shandong, it is nothing more than forcing you to kill Ling Han to rebel. It's no wonder my father didn't kill him for such a thing. "

said the little princess.

Of course, she didn't know that Zhan Hui would at most create some rumors, but the Shandong White Lotus Sect was actually causing trouble by someone else. Also, Ling Han went to investigate the King Qi case not only because Zhan Hui wanted to kill Ling Han, but her father actually He wanted to find a loyal minister who was willing to sacrifice for the overall situation, and exchanged his death for temporarily suppressing this matter.However, there should also be the meaning of killing Zhan Hui by the way. After all, Zhan Hui has been the official secretary for eight years, and he has worked hard without credit. If he can't be allowed to arouse public outrage, then Zhu Yuanzhang's killing him will be a bit chilling, but he wanted to squeeze out dissidents. If Ling Han, a very respected veteran, was murdered, if Zhu Yuanzhang killed him again, everyone would just clap their hands and applaud His Majesty.

As for why the emperor agreed to let Ling Han go...

How did His Majesty the Emperor know that Zhan Hui was so insidious?
He was deceived by traitors!

So as soon as the truth was found out, Zhan Hui was killed immediately to avenge Ling Han.

My Emperor Shengming!
The little princess is very smart.

But this kind of political strife is beyond her age to comprehend.

She still doesn't understand the evil of the human heart.

The eight-year official secretary...

After working under Zhu Yuanzhang for eight years, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, if he didn't hurry up to retire, that would be death, not to mention that he did such unscrupulous methods to exclude dissidents.

"Give Zhu Yunwen a cover."

Yang Feng walked with a serious expression on his face.

"He's still in love, but maybe he's really shaken.

This is a route problem! "

He continued.

Zhu Yuanzhang's goal from beginning to end was to establish a civil government. This was the inevitable choice of all founding emperors, and there was nothing wrong with this choice. After all, he won the world immediately, but he could not rule the world immediately.

A transition to a civilian government is inevitable.

However, the problem now is that the civil government will inevitably become a Confucian government.

He had no choice either.

Because civil servants can only be selected from Confucian scholars.

So even if he stopped the imperial examination for more than ten years, he had to return to this road in the end, because he couldn't get through other roads. Except for Confucian scholars, there were only officials, and the result of officials was the empty seal case.Those petty officials who have been familiar with all the unspoken rules since the time of Hu Yuan and all kinds of black-box operations, the result of controlling the entire officialdom is that they are proficient in all methods of corruption and perverting the law.As for Confucian scholars, at least they advocate morality, and the current batch of Confucian scholars are indeed relatively clean, so it is normal for Zhu Yuanzhang to choose them.

Officials are selected based on virtue rather than talent.

This is the consistent principle of the emperors of all dynasties.

A talented official is at most a capable minister, but a virtuous official can be famous in history. After all, a virtuous official is trapped by virtue and will not rebel.

At present, the only ones with the highest moral qualities are Confucian scholars.

This is also true.

Officials are all corrupt.

Because of Hu Yuan's sheep-herding management, the local government offices are controlled by these officials.

Generals are arrogant and lawless.

For example, Lan Yu bombarded and closed the door, as did the nobles who founded the country in the past, so after Confucian scholars rectified etiquette, Liu Bang was very happy to say that he only knew the joy of being a king today, and they not only corrupted the law, but also rebelled. potential.

As for other Buddhist, Taoist, medical and business classes themselves, it is impossible...

They suck too!

In history, whenever these classes infiltrated the officialdom, they were all full of bad deeds, such as the masters in Hu Yuan's time, and the magic sticks in the Northern Song Dynasty.

In this rotten world, only Confucian scholars are the least rotten.

At least for now.

And they are good at packaging themselves, always packaging those famous officials in history as Confucian scholars.

But if you want to establish a real civil government, you can only choose Zhu Yunqi.

Zhu Yunxi can't.

The generals behind him are too powerful.

Zhu Yunxi became the emperor, and the final result could only be that he turned to the generals more, and he could not decide his own choice. Even if he was the emperor, he would only be pushed away by the generals.

The group of generals behind him is too strong, strong enough to force the emperor to do things.

When Zhu Yuanzhang chose him, it was just when he learned that Zhu Yunqi was such a waste. In the final analysis, his first principle in choosing an heir was to be able to be successful and not to be as wise and powerful as himself...

Then choose Zhu Di directly.

But it can't be trash!

With the power of the world, he can't beat a vassal king with only three guards. With such a waste, he really doesn't know whether to feel that his fourth son is too strong, or his grandson is too useless, so he naturally chose Zhu Yunxi.But the problem now is that with the various changes Yang Feng brought to him, the imperial court's control power is constantly getting stronger, so when the imperial court's control power is strong enough to support Zhu Yunqi to suppress the vassal king?

He understands military affairs. In the age of cold weapons, fast horses and long knives have obvious advantages, but now with a large number of firearms equipped, even matchlock guns, he has begun to form a magic machine battalion. more and more important.

And it's all in the court.

It can be said that the imperial court has formed an absolute crush on the strength of the vassal king.

Similarly, he is also constantly planning.

What if his layout finally solves this hidden danger?
Then there would be no failure of Zhu Yunqi.

Since there is no failure of Zhu Yunqi, then the civil government brought by Zhu Yunqi is the result he most hopes for. After all, the world is changing. As Yang Feng said, the future has changed, and no one knows the final result.

The future he knows already belongs to another world.

but……

"No way?

What about Yunxi? "

said the little princess.

To be precise, what about people like Chang Sheng and Lan Yu who are already full of hope?
They were just waiting for Zhu Yunxi to ascend the throne.

Sapphire was thrown in Guangxi for these years, training troops there without complaint, preparing for the next conquest of Annan. It can be said that he was honest and diligent, because Zhu Yunxi was the grandson of the emperor, and he was working for his sister. This grandson beats the country.

"So your father is also having a headache now!"

Yang Feng said.

So Zhu Yuanzhang is also very tangled now!
And it’s not just Chang Sheng and Lan Yu, Zhu Yuanzhang can still solve them. For example, there is another Lan Yu case, but the problem now is that Zhu Yunxi has another Yang Feng on his side. Zhu Yuanzhang can indeed solve Chang Sheng and Lan Yu, but But it can't solve the scourge of Yang Feng!So now he should be a little bit of a tiger, and he always feels like he has lost his plan and kissed a jackal.

But it's too late to regret.

Now he was helpless in the face of Yang Feng.

Especially after being educated by the military parade.

"No matter what, let's play our game, the next direction of development.

Run a newspaper! "

Yang Feng said.

"newspaper?"

The little princess was at a loss.

"It's a mansion newspaper made by the people, but it's different from the mansion newspaper, and more attractive things are added, such as my criticism of your father's system just now. These can't just be told to your nephew, but have to be printed as a newspaper. Let everyone in the world see."

Yang Feng said.

"Are you crazy?"

The little princess said in astonishment.

Yang Feng pointed to his iron coupon...

"Please read after me, the envoys of the Great Xia Kingdom have the freedom of speech."

He said.

Well, it's really there on the iron coupon.

"The people of Ming Dynasty don't have iron coupons, so who dare to look at this, aren't they afraid of death?"

said the little princess.

Indeed, iron coupons are useless, Yang Feng can indeed say whatever he wants, he dared to shoot at the emperor, it’s nothing, but he dared to say that the people of Ming Dynasty would not dare to listen, even if he stood on the street Use the horn to shout, and the people around will be frightened and run away when they hear it.

Discuss the state affairs indiscriminately, do you want to die?
"It's a problem that really needs to be addressed."

Yang Feng said.

This problem is actually not difficult to solve.

As long as he makes it out, it will always flow out, but the problem is, even if he makes it out, the vast majority of ordinary people are illiterate!

This is not the end of the Ming Dynasty. The literacy rate in Jiangnan is high. If you start an underground tabloid, it will always get out. At this time, after Hu Yuan’s toss, the literacy rate among the people is extremely low. Most of the literate people are Confucian scholars. He can’t count on Confucian scholars to help him Propaganda?Not to mention him, even if Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to publicize, he had to come up with the Muduo missionary system, and asked the folk elders to ring a clock at the intersection and bridge, and to promote enlightenment to passers-by while ringing.

He can't really run to the intersection and shout with a loudspeaker, can he?
That scared them all away.

and so……

"I know what to do."

He said.

The solution is not difficult, just make some satirical comics, or even comics, woodblock political satire comics, turn the consequences of Zhu Yuanzhang's policies into a comic book, and then let the righteous women take to the streets to distribute.

secret distribution.

To put it simply, it is to seduce those poor children with beauty.

under the age of eight.

Then let them pass it on.

It's useless for the government to arrest them. After all, eight-year-olds belong to the scope of protection for minors. Not to mention reading some small picture albums that criticize the government, even treason is not subject to any punishment.

At most, the comic books were confiscated, but during the confiscation process, those yamen servants would still read them!

Yamen servants are also full of complaints.

They are servants.

They don't even have wages, and they work for the court for nothing.

So do they want a more reasonable system?
A system that pays them wages?
Then will they keep a few copies privately, and will they describe their contents to their relatives?This is diffusion. In modern times, the proliferation of many things cannot be stopped, let alone in this era. You must know that there are very few government servants at this time. The total number of officials and servants in a county government is only a few dozen at most.

What can such a person do?
The content of the painting is more exciting and attractive.

This is very simple. In fact, as long as there is such a thing, it will be welcomed by ordinary people who are poor in entertainment in this era, and it is also easy for them to understand. This has been tested in practice.And you might as well add some comparisons, such as other dynasties, such as the Daxia Kingdom, of course it is a fake Daxia Kingdom, in short, let the common people understand the problems of the current system, see the future, and see better choices...

"Why do you look at me like that?"

Yang Feng looked at the little princess's strange eyes.

"What's your relationship with Princess Lu?"

The latter said viciously.

"Uh, is she still keeping her filial piety? We are purely business relationship."

Yang Feng said.

"Then why are the folk rumors saying that you..."

The little princess blushed and hesitated to speak.

"adultery?
Slander, absolute slander!

Do you think I look like that kind of person?
Zhang Ying is right next to you. Obviously, even if I really do something to her, she will almost push it halfway, but have I ever done something to her?She is a female official now, and if something happens to her, it is very dangerous. She might be ordered to die by your father.

Princess Lu is the same.

Although I admit that I like beautiful women very much, but I won't hurt anyone.

I'm really having an affair with her, so what if she has a big belly one day?The posthumous son of your long-dead brother?In the end, she can only be gifted to death by your father. I admire beauties, but I will not harm them. This kind of thing is really nothing in our Great Xia country, but it will kill people in your Ming Dynasty.

I am a good person.

But it's harmful. "

Yang Feng said shamelessly.

"It seems to make sense."

The little princess nodded childishly.

Sure enough, she still doesn't understand the sinister nature of human beings.

"You, a child, don't interfere with the affairs of adults."

Yang Feng said.

"Who is still a child, I have grown up!"

The little princess immediately raised her head and chest, and even tried her best to raise her feet, and she was almost as tall as Yang Feng.

"Uh, why are you reacting so strongly? For our Great Xia Kingdom, the following are minors."

Yang Feng said.

"Our Daming Fifteen is an adult."

The little princess tried hard to prove that she had grown up and stepped forward.

Then Zhang Ying pushed open the door, looked at this scene in astonishment, and instinctively stepped forward to block between them, or you can say squeezed into them...

"Princess, it's too late, you should rest."

She said to the little princess.

Yang Feng lowered his head and looked at the two of them with complicated eyes from behind her...
