Chapter 155 Conscience We must talk about conscience(2/2)
Five hundred coins, with this number, as long as you can do one vote, it is basically equivalent to having the first pot of gold...
Besides, just knowing the name has Wu Guan!
Why don't you take action quickly?
“Of course, what’s already there doesn’t count!”
Yang Feng said quickly.
A few that he knew were listed above, such as Liu Mengyan and Huang Wanshi. These were all decreed by Zhu Yuanzhang to imprison future generations.
Huang Wanshi was the envoy of Jiangxi Province, and he was ranked with Liu Mengyan because his behavior was too disgusting. When he persuaded the anti-Yuan generals to surrender, the latter did not listen, so he became anxious and shouted in a very inconspicuous manner, "I have so many official titles that they can be written on a piece of paper."
If it doesn't end, I will surrender, so why don't you surrender?
In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang was imprisoned for generations.
After the fall of the Song Dynasty, the performance of civil servants was indeed much better than that of the Ming Dynasty, but this was not because they were more morally responsible, but because the Yuan Dynasty did not attach great importance to them. Even if they wanted to serve the new master, they had to at least be asked to do so. The master of the Yuan Dynasty
The ministers of the government are not very interested in them. Even the civil servants also have Northern Confucianism, especially those from the noble families, so there are not many in the prosperous period of Bahuang Xiange. But it is only less than that in the late Ming Dynasty, and the actual number is still large.
So now it is time to mobilize the power of the people to dig deep into the root causes and find out all these families. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang will not punish them, he must use this Erchen Lu to clarify their image.
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang may not really know how to take action. At most, he can do it selectively.
If this matter really gets serious, a trend of public opinion will definitely form. On this issue of loyalty and treachery, the emperor must express his opinion, so he will still pick out those who behave badly, and then continue to imprison a group of descendants.
.
What an aristocratic family!
He also likes to hit.
What's more, it suits his appetite.
There is no need for generals.
This time the attack was on a family of civil servants. After all, Yang Feng’s real goal was Confucian scholars.
"Ambassador, the general knows one."
The officer guarding the gate came over and said.
"who?"
Yang Feng said.
"Liu Sanwu, a Hanlin scholar, was a great Confucian in his ancestors. Judging from his current age, his grandfather must have been a Song Dynasty minister. I don't know if he was a Jinshi, but his father was indeed Hu Yuan, Hanlin, and he had several brothers who were also
As an official of Hu Yuan, at least his father was born in the Song Dynasty."
The officer said with obvious ulterior motives.
"I think you can go check it out carefully. You should have relatives and old friends in the Huguang health center. You can ask them to help check it out. What they found out is just a few letters. It's not easy for us in the capital to know about this kind of thing. It's nothing more than him.
He said it himself, but the people in his hometown in Huguang should know that if it is found to be true, then the five hundred coins will be obtained. "
Yang Feng said with the same ulterior motives.
This job is indeed best suited for these military households.
Because they have a wide range of paths.
All health stations are dispatched from within their system. It is not difficult for officers like this to find some relatives and friends in various health stations. This forms an internal investigation network. A few letters can do what Yang Feng needs to spend.
It takes a lot of effort to do it.
And military generals also like this kind of slap in the face of civil servants.
"General, I understand!
The general's cousin is indeed a hundred households in Chalingwei, so the general will write a book to him and ask him to carefully investigate the ancestors of the Liu family."
The officer said with a smile.
Then the two bad guys laughed together.
Liu Sanwu is over 80 years old this year. He was born in 1313 AD, and he has several older brothers. From this calculation, it is basically certain that his father was born at the turn of the Song and Yuan Dynasties. After all, it was only more than thirty years before he was born, and
His grandfather Liu Yang was a great Confucian, and it is said that in the late Song Dynasty, he blocked the local troops from killing several wealthy families. This means that he can definitely be a great Confucian with a certain prestige in the late Song Dynasty and may even have an official position. As for whether he is a Jinshi or not, it is hard to say.
But the possibility of raising people is very high.
As long as he has received a salary from the Zhao family, he can become an official. According to Yang Feng's contract theory, it means that he has automatically signed an allegiance contract with the Zhao family.
Then he must be loyal to the Zhao family.
But instead of being loyal to the Zhao family, he became an official of the Yuan Dynasty, and that was the second official.
Therefore, as long as it can be found out that his grandfather was a member of the Song Dynasty, he can be listed in the Erchen Lu. Liu Sanwu is the godfather of Confucian scholars. If his ancestor is listed in the Erchen Lu, even if Yang Feng is unofficial, his reputation will be greatly damaged.
What Confucian scholars preach is loyalty!
Then Yang Feng will start from this. What qualifications do you, a group of descendants of the emperor, have to advocate loyalty? If they want to argue, then just argue. This issue will trigger a comprehensive discussion. In the final analysis, the current Confucian scholars have real ancestors.
On the contrary, there are only a few who are qualified to be included in the list of ministers.
Most are not qualified.
They will not destroy the foundation of Confucianism just to protect these guys.
These people don't deserve it.
And given the Confucian scholars' style of cheating each other, maybe someone else will take the opportunity to step on the Confucian scholars born in these aristocratic families and rise to the top. Therefore, what was originally just a private act of Yang Feng's malicious nature will eventually evolve into a big discussion sweeping the country, and then
It then developed into a storm that could be described as digging up graves for the Confucian families of the old Song and Yuan dynasties.
And this is what Yang Feng really wants to see most.
but……
"It has to be the truth, you can't make it up for money!"
Yang Feng said to the officer.
"Ambassador, don't worry, the general is the most honest. How could he make it up? But after all, it's been a hundred years, and the local people sometimes don't remember it clearly. There may be some inaccuracies, or there may be more stories, but this general can't guarantee that it's accurate.
.”
The officer said with a smile.
"This is indeed unavoidable. Over time, there have been a lot of opinions, but as long as we act according to our conscience and have a clear conscience!
Conscience, you must be conscientious."
Yang Feng said seriously.
"The ambassador's teachings will be remembered by the generals. The generals will definitely tell them to follow their conscience and never make things up for money."
The officer said equally seriously.
(The whole family is Yang, except me)
