Chapter 291 The imperial conquest?(2/2)
"Hurry up and contact Ambassador Yang and tell him that Fang Xiaoru is persuading His Majesty to fight in person."
Zhang Xianzong said.
"Personally conquered?"
The two women screamed.
"Yes, Fang Xiaoru said that he was willing to perform meritorious service and asked Your Majesty to personally conquer Suzhou. In Suzhou, he publicly testified to the Suzhou soldiers and civilians that King Guangze was a liar and exposed Qitai's conspiracy. In this way, the Suzhou soldiers and civilians would naturally stop resisting. Moreover, Your Majesty We can take this opportunity to let the people in the south of the Yangtze River see the beauty of the sky. In this way, the people's hearts will naturally be stable, and no one will rebel. Your Majesty is very moved and has summoned the Metropolitan Procuratorate and six ministers to the palace for discussion."
Zhang Xianzong said.
"So, you are worried that these people will support it, and that something might happen if His Majesty goes on a personal expedition?
Are you even worried that Fang Xiaoru did it on purpose?
And you are worried that the ministers in the court may know that Fang Xiaoru is pretending to surrender, but out of dissatisfaction with His Majesty, they will pretend not to know and then cooperate with him?"
The little princess immediately woke up.
Her mind is still very useful.
Zhang Xianzong nodded silently.
"So, you are convinced that these civil servants in the DPRK are actually not loyal?"
Zhang Ying said.
"Zhang Nvshi, there is no need to say this anymore. If all the ministers in the court support your majesty's personal expedition, your majesty's temperament will definitely make it possible. From the capital to Suzhou, the Yangtze River waterway turns to canals, which is hundreds of miles of waterway. If someone wants to harm your majesty, there will be people along the way. Countless opportunities.”
Zhang Xianzong said.
"Every one of them claims to be loyal, but in reality they all have their own agendas."
The little princess said angrily.
Then she quickly opened her watch again.
Kaiping.
Ambassador Yang lined up again.
"They all know how to play!"
He looked at the city gate that was opening and sighed as he listened to Sister Liu's story.
He was convinced almost immediately that Fang Xiaoru was faking his surrender.
Just to lure the emperor out of the capital.
As for the ministers in the court, Zhang Xianzong should know better than him, and even if this is the case, this choice is not surprising. After all, most of the ministers in the court are Confucian scholars. Although Ru Ru and others did not take the imperial examination, they were also Confucian scholars. What's more, Zhu Yunxi's reform is obviously to completely abandon the old method of selecting scholars. According to the plan, the future is to replace the old schools with those new schools, spreading outward from the capital, and continuously establishing more new schools in the Ming Dynasty, so as to This cultivates talents and then allows these talents to enter the officialdom through the new imperial examination.
Step by step, fresh blood will be used to flush away all the stale old bureaucracy.
These are old bureaucracies.
Moreover, the foundation behind these old bureaucrats is also the old gentry.
Of course, the old gentry was also the Confucian gentry.
If the country is still governed by Confucianism, they can always surpass ordinary people by relying on the cultural advantages of the so-called farming and studying heirlooms. After all, this kind of Confucian heirlooms have been passed down for generations, and they are not on the same starting line as ordinary people.
Their family's collection of books alone is enough to overwhelm ordinary people.
Most of the imperial examination families in Jiangnan in the late Ming Dynasty were also book-collecting families.
In the end, the imperial examination was transformed into aristocratic families.
Learning is hereditary.
On average during the Qing Dynasty, more than 60% of the Imperial Examination Scholars were within the third generation of being a scholar and a Jinshi, 20% were within the third generation of being a scholar, and the remaining ten percent were those who were within the third generation without fame.
, but if it is relaxed to within five generations, only 4% of those whose true ancestors have no fame will be left. But if new learning and new imperial examinations are implemented, then all of them will be on the same starting line, and the Confucianism passed down by their families will not
If you use it, even if your ancestor is a great Confucian, you still have to learn new things with a peer who comes from a purely peasant family.
Let’s strive for a future together based on our own abilities.
This is definitely unbearable.
Zhu Yuanzhang can do this, they are indeed afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang.
But Zhu Yunxi couldn't.
Because there are no mountains of heads under his grandfather's feet.
"If Zhu Yunxi suddenly dies, then Zhu Yunwen can indeed be promoted to the throne.
But have they thought about Zhu Di?"
Sister Liu said with great interest.
It has to be said that the battle for the throne of the Ming Dynasty after being completely disrupted by Yang Feng has made her more and more involved in watching the excitement.
"Zhu Di?"
Yang Feng smiled.
"Do you think Zhu Di is really clean? Liu Rong and Ma He didn't do anything for their King Yan during this period? Do you think Zhu Di did this magical operation of defending Kaifeng just because of the death of King Xiang?
Accident?
He is the one who hides it the deepest."
He said immediately.
Only then did he realize that he might have been tricked by Zhu Di.
Zhu Di was probably the one behind the scenes from the beginning. What he was waiting for was for one of the two Zhu Yunxi brothers to die. If Zhu Yunxi was killed by Zhu Yunxi, then he would rebel against him. If Zhu Yunxi was killed by Zhu Yunxi, then he would redress his nephew's grievances and clear the emperor's side.
The reason why he went to Kaifeng to gather a group of vassal kings to stand firm was that his real purpose was to wait at the closest distance for the results he expected. Although this move was very risky, he had this confidence.
After all, he has always been invincible.
Just blue jade.
How can you defeat someone who has been idle for many years and doesn't understand new warfare at all?
"So this is going back to the old ways of history?"
Sister Liu said.
"It depends on whether I agree or not."
Yang Feng said.
At this time, the army in Kaiping City continued to pour out, and the leader was the fat boy Zhu Gaoxu, but by this time he had become a standard classical warrior, with big arms and a round waist, riding on a sweaty horse. Behind him were the people in formation.
The elite cavalrymen were all wearing full armor and riding Arabian or Central Asian horses. It was obvious that Zhu Di had never stopped sending good things to the sons of Peking during this period.
"I have to teach this guy a lesson again. Every time I see him, I want to push him to the ground and beat him up."
Yang Feng sighed with emotion.
