Chapter 615 Reform? Are you also qualified to propose reform?
"What did you say? Your Majesty killed someone in Yangzhou?"
After hearing about Zhu Youxiao's incident in Nanjing, Yingtian Prefect Quan Zongjing was shocked.
"Yes, they are all the sons of well-known families in Yangzhou City. In addition, in addition to killing people, the prefect and other officials were also demoted or dismissed, and things were very troubled."
Li Ce, an aide who came to inform Quan Zongjing of the news, replied.
After hearing this, Quan Zongjing was poured into cold water and asked quickly: "What's the matter?"
"It is reported that these young men pretended to be Tartars, wearing Hu robes, and braids, and were afraid that the world would not be in chaos, and were caught by His Majesty. His Majesty was furious because of this. He said that they were sorry for the soldiers who fought bloody battles for the peace of the country. And that they did this, they would all be executed to warn the world. It is estimated that the official announcement will soon arrive at us Yingtian."
Li Ce replied.
"It's actually because of this?"
Quan Zong Jing was surprised after listening to it.
As an official in the world of peace, he also lacks a sense of crisis about the cultural behavior of worshiping barbarism.
Li Ce nodded solemnly at this time: "For this matter, a salt merchant begged to atone for his son with 5 million silver coins, but it didn't work. Your Majesty is indeed very sensitive to the word "nation"! It can be said that it is the emperor's rebellion!"
After hearing this, Quan Zongjing was stunned for a moment, and then said, "It is really unexpected. There are many people who are fighting for beauty today. In order to seek novelty, they do not care about etiquette, and customs, but they worship everything! I thought that this was nothing, and the style of worshipping Hu was not very strange. But I didn't expect that Your Majesty would care about this and even started a massacre. We Yingtian Mansion must take advantage of His Holiness to make corresponding preparations before Your Holiness. We cannot make the scholars and people in our palace suffer, nor can our Majesty be even more angry."
As he said that, he ordered his aide Li Ce: "I must immediately arrest all the entire Yingtian Mansion, pretending to be a Tartar, and cut off all the braids!"
"There are also those who pretend to be Japanese pirates. Among the executed people in Yangzhou, there are those who pretend to be Japanese pirates."
Li Ce hurriedly reminded.
"Well, there are those who pretend to be Japanese pirates. These people are arrested! They are all required to wear the clothes and appearance of the Han people. Your Majesty obviously cares about the word "nation". There is no place to blaspheme the nation! Major theaters, stages, and country temples are not allowed to perform dramas related to the Tartars, and all books related to the Huluo are searched!"
Quan Zongjing nodded and replied.
"Then let's do it now."
Li Ce replied.
Next, the entire Yingtian Prefecture official became busy, not only the Yingtian Prefecture Prefecture Prefecture Prefecture Prefecture Prefecture, but also the Dongchang and Chongwen Temple officials in Yingtian Prefecture did not dare to slack off, including those in other prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River.
The emperor's act of killing people who pretended to be Tartars in Yangzhou was like a pill of a heart-warming agent, injecting them into the blood vessels of various prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River, forcing officials from all over the place to thorn the backs, fearing that the rulings would lose their black hats because of their acts of worshiping barbarism, and they had to get busy.
The scholars and the people were also afraid that their children would end up beheading and showing public appearances like those young men in Yangzhou, so they ordered their children not to go out during this period. Some of them were a little bit naughty and even locked directly in the house.
"Promote the stories of the Hu people and confiscate them!"
On the market, the books and scrolls involving the Hulu in major bookstores were also confiscated, and the costumes of the Hu people were all destroyed before the emperor arrived.
For a time, the fires burning these things outside the city continued to overnight.
The excessive freedom of the Jiangnan folks had to temporarily make up for classes because Zhu Youxiao went south this time, but there was also an overcorrection.
This naturally aroused even more dissatisfaction among the liberal literati.
"As a matter of fact, the monarch is not suitable for leaving the palace. If you leave the palace, you will be disturbed by the place. The Yangzhou incident will stir up the entire Jiangnan and will not be stable!"
In history, Zhu Zhixi, who served as Minister of War in the Qing Dynasty, talked to Zeng Jingyun and other scholars in Jiangnan.
Zeng Jingyun said: "This is the end of the ruler's power without restrictions! Now the king is the master of the world, and all the people in the world are their guests. Therefore, there is no one to stop the king's tour! And the officials below only know that only the superiors follow their orders and do not ask the people's opinions! Only when the world is the master and the king is their guest can this situation be avoided!"
"What Brother Liu said is very much! The world should be dominated by all people, and the king should govern the world for all people. When governing the country, he should be worried and happy to the people, rather than just caring about the rise and fall of one family! The rise and fall of a clan!"
Zhu Zhixi agreed.
Zeng Jingyun then said, "Everyone, we might as well mobilize all the aspiring people to go to the Governor's Office together, and ask the Governor of Jiangnan to convey the people's opinions of Jiangnan to us, and ask Your Majesty to return to the capital, so that you should not disturb Jiangnan again! We will also express our expectations for the court to reform, and ask the court to follow the aspirations of Mr. Lizhou (Huang Zongxi) to change the law of one family into the law of the world!"
"Agree! We also advise the court to promote autonomy and limit the power of the monarch to seek autonomy, and to abolish counties and restore feudalism!"
"That's right! People in Jiangnan govern the affairs of Jiangnan, people in Huguang govern the affairs of Huguang, and all townships and counties are governed by themselves. In this way, there will be no lazy officials!"
For a time, a group of liberal scholars from Jiangnan responded and all came to the Governor's Office.
The Governor's yamen they mentioned refer to the Governor's yamen in Jiangnan.
Now the Ming Dynasty has removed the position of Governor of Southeast and has been renamed the Governor of Jiangnan, only in charge of the Nanzhili area.
...
"To the Lord Yao and Shun, let us make the customs more simple. We will come to see the platform, just to reform the law!"
Zeng Jingyun brought a group of liberal scholars to the Governor's Office, and after meeting Governor Tang Aiming, he expressed his reform demands of these Jiangnan scholars.
Tang Aiming was a scholar from the Royal Academy and received new education. Naturally, he was not interested in the demands of these scholars in Jiangnan, so he sneered: "Reform? Are you qualified to express the word "Reform?"
"Why not?! All things in the world can naturally speak."
Zeng Jingyun replied.
"that is!"
Other scholars from Jiangnan responded.
After hearing this, Tang Aiming continued to laugh and said, "Okay, let's talk about what do you want the court reform to change?"
"One, select the country genius from all over the world, go to the court to discuss, establish the laws of the world, and abolish the laws of the family to limit the power of the monarch."
Zeng Jingyun replied.
"absurd!"
Tang Aiming directly slapped the table and pointed at Zeng Jingyun: "You are a traitor! You dare to limit the royal power! Who do you think you are, and you dare to say this."
"Second, allow local autonomy, select officials, and restore the freedom of all people."
Zeng Jingyun did not respond to Tang Aiming but continued to speak.
"It's a big deal for autonomy," Tang Aiming snorted coldly.
"Three, set up a prime minister, and the local geniuses selected by each province should select prime ministers, and assist the king, and take over the power of the world on behalf of the king!"
Zeng Jingyun continued to talk.
Tang Aiming sneered: "You can choose the emperor!"
"It's naturally better!"
Zeng Jingyun replied.
"Don't be too greedy! Although this dynasty no longer charges words, I can also punish you for the crime of conspiracy!"
Tang Aiming shouted angrily.
At this time, Zhu Zhixi, who came with Zeng Jingyun, asked: "Don't the platform makers like freedom?! And like this, do you like to be like this now, and can the order of one person be bound by the people? Even if everyone cannot be free?!"
Chapter completed!
