Chapter 1188 New Policy
Looking at Zhu Youxiao sitting on the dragon chaise and saying this with a smile, Sun Chengzong and the other two took a breath, while the officials who looked loyal and unyielding just now felt as if they were lost.
It is not clear about the exact location of Nanyang, nine and a half of these officials, but they are sure that Nanyang is even farther away than Qiongzhou, which has always been regarded as a wild land by officials. Not only are there malaria and rampant poisonous snakes and beasts everywhere, but there are also people-eating life. In the eyes of officials, the terribleness of this kind of place is comparable to the eighteen levels of hell.
After hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, these officials looked like earthy, and could almost be described as scattered. They all became earthy, and some people collapsed on the ground and cried out, as if they were a scene of the end of the world.
"It's over, this life is over." This is the thought that surged in almost everyone's mind.
The officials around were also worried when they saw the tragic situation of these people.
For officials, it is uncomfortable to be taken off by the emperor and rushed back to their hometown. Even if they don’t become this official, they still have the status of a Jinshi. When they return to their hometown, they can still call their friends, drink and have fun all day long, and their lives will still be flying.
But once you are sent to Nanyang, it will be different. It is a poor place. There is nothing except the natives and the zodiac who can't take a bath all year round. If you live there, you may have to be forced to death in less than a month.
Zhu Guozhen, who was a little unbearable, couldn't help but stand up and bow to Zhu Youxiao, "Your Majesty, although these people have rudely hit Your Majesty, please remember that these people are loyal to the Ming Dynasty, so I will circumvent them this time."
The other ministers in Wenhua Palace did not dare to plead, but when they saw Zhu Guozhen, the old master, took this head, they bowed one after another: "Yes, Your Majesty, please give your Majesty a favor outside the law and circumvent them."
Seeing this, Sun Chengzong, who was standing by, thought to himself, "I'm not good." These people still have too little understanding of His Majesty. If no one pleads for mercy, there might be some hope, but if they ask for it, these people will never return to the Ming Dynasty in their lives."
Sure enough, when he saw the ministers kneeling on the ground, Zhu Youxiao's face slowly became cold. He slowly stood up: "Transfer my order. These people must leave Beijing and go to Nanyang within three days. If there are any disobedients, the whole family will go together. Everyone is not allowed to return to the Ming Dynasty within thirty years."
"Gudong..."
A young official of 27 or 28 years old was probably too young to withstand this pressure and fainted on the ground. People around him came over and pinched the person and massaged him, which woke the guy up. After he woke up, his eyes were straight and he looked lifeless.
Seeing these people's appearance, Zhu Youxiao said coldly to Zhu Guozhen: "Zhu Aiqing, now Nanyang has been occupied by the Jiangning army and will soon become the territory of our Ming Dynasty. And the people from Nanyang are about to become the people of our Ming Dynasty. Although these people are ruthless, I have not given up their official position, but continue to send them to Nanyang to educate our Ming people. Why did they become punished when they reach the words of my Ming Dynasty?
If you go to Nanyang to be an official, it is a punishment. Where will you place the Jiangning Army soldiers who threw their heads and blood for the Ming Dynasty and fought on the battlefield? If so, please put on your armor and hold a blade to open up the territory for the Ming Dynasty, and then let the Jiangning Army soldiers unarmored their armor and return to the fields, and then let them go to those places to become officials after you defeat the overseas territory. "
As a veteran of the three dynasties, Zhu Guozhen was respectful to him since he was invaded by the cabinet and never said harsh words. Unexpectedly, he was scolded by Zhu Youzhai's motto today, which made him feel that his old face was extremely painful.
Zhu Youxiao's words were obviously telling him not to be content. You all feel so uncomfortable when you go to Nanyang to become officials. What are the Ming soldiers who conquered Nanyang for the sake of their birth and death?
Sun Chengzong looked at Zhu Youxiao talking quietly on the dragon throne, looking decisive and decisive, feeling in a daze. He seemed to have seen the shadows of the founding Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Yongle.
"Is the Ming Dynasty going to return to its original state again?"
Thinking of this, Sun Chengzong couldn't help but be shocked, and a feeling of joy and worry surged into his heart.
Think about how decisive the two of them were when they were in power at the beginning of the country. Basically, no ministers in the court dared to blow up the thorns. Whoever dared to blow up the thorns would deal with you.
Let’s talk about Comrade Zhu. If you say that killing your whole family means killing your whole family, and it’s not a dozen or hundreds of people. Once you get angry, he will never give up until he kills you. In the case of Hu Weiyong alone, not only did the Hu Weiyong family be killed by nine clans, but there are more than 30,000 people involved.
The same is true for the Lantian case. Comrade Zhu killed people and killed thousands of people, which also led to a joke. At that time, officials in the capital were worried that they would not be able to come back before going to court, so many people wrote their wills in advance.
It was precisely because the officials who were killed were afraid of being killed that later the Ming Dynasty officials also learned to be smart. Because they still shouldered the responsibility of teaching the prince, almost every official who taught the prince would tirelessly instill ideas such as benevolence and repaying grievances with kindness. This also led to the successors who came to the future of the Ming Dynasty being taught to change their taste, and there was no more phenomenon of heroic rulers like Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhu Di.
But even so, the officials of the Ming Dynasty were still worried. They tried every means to reduce the emperor's rights and tried every means to suppress the military general group. After mastering public opinion, they still promoted the theory that good men do not serve in the army and do not make nails, which led to the extremely low social status of soldiers.
What's more, these people were even so bold that even the emperor dared to attack.
If it weren't for this, there wouldn't be absurd things like two emperors with "bad praise" who fell into the water and died in succession. This shows how brave the civil servants were in the Ming Dynasty.
Sun Chengzong was a smart man. Although Zhu Youxiao respected him very much, he never abused this influence, just like what happened today. Although he knew that many people wanted him as the chief minister to come forward to plead, he never spoke because he knew that those officials had touched Zhu Youxiao's re-scaling, and if he spoke, things might get worse.
