Chapter 315 Xingming Society! The concept of unified governance

Capital.

All important civil and military officials in Beijing went to the Qinzheng Hall to accept the summons from Emperor Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Fang Congzhe, Wang Yingjiao, Bi Ziyan and others with a serious expression, then looked at Xiong Tingbi, Yuan Keli, Chen Ce and others, and then said: "I am not hiding my good friends. Dongchang has recently received some news worthy of attention. In addition, Zhao Aiqing also personally exposed a matter of this. Specifically, because of the implementation of the new policy reform, many stubborn reactionaries have jumped out. They not only denounced me as a violent king, but also said that all the good friends are traitors, slandered me and other friends in their reputation, and tried to collude with foreign enemies and foreign soldiers, and even tried to train troops overseas, with the intention of overthrowing the country in the future! With the current evidence, Wang Chengen and the Minister of Personnel Zhao Aiqing passed on the detailed review of the secret letter presented by Zhao Aiqing of the Minister of Personnel to you!"

Fang Congzhe and other ministers all looked at Zhao Nanxing and began to circulate his secret letters.

Zhao Nanxing naturally doesn't have to look at it anymore, but his heart is very bitter at this moment. He didn't expect that one day he would become a helper and accomplice of His Majesty the Emperor and Fang Congzhe's traitors.

"It's so shameless! Despicable! They have read the books of sages into the dog's belly!"

Xiong Tingbi couldn't help it, so he stood up and cursed.

"No matter what they say, the fake cannot be true, the real cannot be false, and the treacherous evil cannot suppress justice. It is not that they say they are gentlemen or gentlemen. Your Majesty, from the view of the minister, Mr. Wang of Xichang, who asked for the people to treasury for the people, was a real gentleman. Bi Gong, who asked for the refugees in the capital to form a household registration and re-enter the household registration. Although the ministers are mediocre and incompetent, they all follow the public's heart. Although they dare not say that the court is a righteous minister, most of them are good ministers for the country and the people! Some people say that the ministers are treacherous parties, but I never think that the ministers are treacherous parties, because they have never sought personal gain, so how can they form a party? Even if there is a party, it is Your Majesty's party!"

Fang Congzhe stood up and replied.

Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Yuan Fu's words are so true!"

Then, Zhu Youxiao stood up and said with a stern voice: "Listen!"

The ministers immediately bowed and stood beside them.

"From now on, we must continue to prepare to clean up internal affairs and build the Ming Dynasty while fighting! Both internal and military affairs should not be neglected!"

"In terms of internal affairs, we must strengthen the guidance of ethics and do not let the reputation of public opinion be controlled by evil people. Yuan Fu said just now. Since someone insists that we have a party, we must have a party. The first thing our party must unify is the concept of governing the country! As far as I know, the Donglin Party has the "Donglin Contract", and we will do the same in the future. We must establish a party openly and upright, establish a party for the country and the people. We must have our own rules and regulations to establish a Xingming Society Party. The meaning of its name is to make the Ming Dynasty prosperous forever. This society is a legal society established by me personally, and to allow scholars and citizens of all walks of life in the world to apply to join the establishment. Once we join the society, we need to have the determination to contribute everything to the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty! The specific details will be improved next!"

"In terms of military affairs, we should implement the military service system and the professionalization and nationalization of the military in the original battalion system as soon as possible. We should train more officers and soldiers who are good at fighting. We should strengthen the functions of military coordination and strategy formulation of the Privy Council. In addition, the awareness and discipline of these officers and soldiers must be strong! In the future, the Xingming Society branch of the banner team will be established above each banner team!"

Zhu Youxiao said so.

The establishment of Xingming Society was not a decision that he was so angry, but something he decided after careful consideration.

Because Zhu Youxiao felt that he had to strengthen the consistency of his ruling group in terms of ideological concepts, he could have different opinions on the specific handling of something, but the concept of governing the country, that is, the so-called ideology, must be consistent, otherwise it will be difficult to ensure the purity between the monarch and the ministers of his court.

If a ruling group does not have a high degree of purity, it will be easily infiltrated by foreign enemies.

Next, Zhu Youxiao needs to make more reforms, which requires strengthening its internal purity.

He didn't want his court to be like a group of reactionary gentry, and his internal organs were infiltrated by his East Factory before a large-scale uprising.

Therefore, at this time, Zhu Youxiaohui proposed to form Xingming Society and unify his thoughts, not only internal officials, but also the army.

Here, Zhu Youxiao had already communicated with loyal and reliable military generals such as Qin Liangyu and Chen Ce about the transformation of the army. Because Zhu Youxiao allowed them to keep their confidants as direct guards, and promised that military officers would also participate in certain military decisions in the future, they also supported the emperor in doing so.

After Zhu Youxiao said this, he immediately issued an order: "Issue an order! We will be promoted to the Minister of Rites of Nanjing Wei Guangwei to the Minister of Rites of Rites, Feng Quan was transferred to the left minister of Rites, and Fang Shihong, the chief minister of Chongwen Temple, also served as the right minister of Rites!"

"Abide by the order!"

Fang Congzhe and others quickly replied.

Zhu Youxiao's appointment of these three people to take charge of the Ministry of Rites was naturally his own consideration. First of all, the reason why he directly asked Wei Guangwei to be the Minister of Rites was because Wei Guangwei gave him a few days ago a suggestion on the court to control public opinion in the world and strengthen the internal education of court officials. He also pointed out many examples of officials being brainwashed by gentry, and also proposed many of his own solutions.

This made Zhu Youxiao discover Wei Guangwei's advantage, so he directly appointed him as the Minister of Rites.

Moreover, as far as Zhu Youxiao knew, Wei Guangwei was indeed a person with very powerful means in history.

As far as he knows, there is a saying that although Wei Zhongxian is the leader of the eunuch party, Wei Guangwei has always been controlling the eunuch party and helping Wei Zhongxian defeat other ministers.

Historically, the struggle between the eunuch party and the Donglin party was essentially an internal struggle between the literati and the officials.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao decided to let Wei Guangwei strengthen internal ideological education for himself, control public opinion, and compete for his right to speak.

Needless to say, Feng Quan and Fang Shihong are both people who are very powerful in the scholars' circles to compete for their voice.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao made them become officials of the Ministry of Rites.

"The first concept that the Xingming Society must abide by is loyal to the emperor, and regard the king as the constitution. The ancestors' laws and the teachings of the sages should all be subject to the emperor's will; Article 2: All the people of the Ming Dynasty are compatriots, and both scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are the people. Those who enter this society should love the people for the emperor and resolve the difficulties of the people. As Mr. Hengqu said, they should establish their destiny for the people and create peace for the country..."

Zhao Nanxing looked at Fang Congzhe's plan for Xingming, which he had drafted after discussion with Wang Yingjiao, Bi Ziyan and others, and had submitted the emperor's approval, and it was difficult for him to accept the first principle of the ancestors' law and the saints' teachings were no longer the constitution of ruling, but the king's decree as constitution.

Although the emperor did not fully abide by the ancestral system or the saints' etiquette in the past, civil servants can still use the ancestral system or the etiquette when the emperor does not cooperate with scholars like him.

Now, Xingming Society clearly requires that those who join the society must follow the principle of taking the king as the constitution, which means that the emperor can change the etiquette and ancestral system at will.

Zhao Nanxing was even more difficult to accept the second one. He really couldn't accept that the common people could be compared with the gentry. The idea of ​​loving the people was actually extended to the common people.

Zhao Nanxing really doesn't want to join such a club.

He can protect himself, go with the flow, hide his foolishness, but it is really difficult for him to accept the belief of Xingming Society and participate in the government as Xingming Society requires. He feels that if he does that, it will be like forcibly turning himself into a walking corpse, and he will die directly and become even more painful.

Therefore, when all the important ministers of the Nine Ministers took the initiative to write memorials and apply to join Xingming Society, Zhao Nanxing hesitated again.

"Zhu Youxiao, you tyrant, are so cruel! You not only have to control my husband's life and death, but also my faith! How can I pretend to be!"
