Traveling Through the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber: The Ming Zun Zhang Wuji

Chapter 393 The King's Mind
After Zhang Wuji listened to the words of the woman in yellow, he pondered for a moment, and then said: "Since ancient times, those who have the Tao will not harm their close relatives, nor will they kill their heirs. But what I teach is the way of heaven, and what I do is righteous. Naturally, I can't do it." This is an unrighteous thing. So, just follow my instructions."

Zhou Zhiruo also echoed: "Yes, although we are in high positions now, we all come from the rivers and lakes, and the word 'righteousness' is what we rely on to walk the rivers and lakes. There is affection for friends, and benevolence and righteousness for women, children, old and young. Otherwise How can I afford the word 'Xia'?"

Seeing Zhang Wuji's determination and hearing Zhou Zhiruo's words, everyone couldn't say anything more.

But even though Zhang Wuji said so, he really wasn't merciful.It's just a decision made by those in power after weighing the pros and cons.

Zhang Wuji's idea is very simple, that is, "dirty work" can be done, but the person who does this dirty work must not be him, or even his orders.

After all, he insulted a country's concubine and killed the royal family.This is more or less something to be recorded in the history books.

It's like the Han people recording the shame of Jingkang.

At the least, it will be reviled by later generations, and at the worst, it may become an excuse for others to resist themselves.

And whether someone will resist you in the future has nothing to do with whether you are a member of the royal family of the previous dynasty.

After all, the banner I am playing now is to expel the Tartars and restore the Central Plains, a century of shame.

And he, Zhang Wuji, can be far-fetched to say that he is the queen of Zhang Tianshi, but he has nothing to do with the Song Dynasty clan.

But now he is the leader of the world, not the clan of the Song Dynasty.And he doesn't need to support any Song Dynasty clan as a banner.

Although what the woman in yellow shirt said is also reasonable, getting rid of them now can more or less kill the grass and roots, so as to prevent future troubles.

But from the perspective of long-term interests, this is not worth the candle.

Now that he is in a high position, he must be cautious in every word and deed, at least to ensure a "great and upright" image on the surface.

Such as Qin Shihuang and Tang Taizong are all wise monarchs.

Qin Shihuang swept the six kingdoms to unify the world, ended the millennium slavery and enfeoffment, and formed a true unification.

Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was proficient in everything in literature, Taoism and martial arts, and Wenzhi created the rule of Zhenguan.Martial arts helped Tang Gaozu unify the world, wiped out the eighteen tribes of the grassland, and was regarded as the Khan of Heaven.

And just such two people, later generations have mixed evaluations of them.

Some people respected Emperor Qin's literary and martial arts, but denounced his cruelty in building the Great Wall.

Not to mention Tang Taizong, the change of Xuanwu Gate killed his brothers and forced his father to abdicate.Occupying one's younger siblings and brother-in-law is even more criticized by later generations.

They are still like this, let alone far inferior to their own.

What's more, the order I gave was not to kill innocent people indiscriminately, but I set the rules, but I violated them. I'm afraid it will be difficult to lead the team in the future.

Therefore Zhang Wuji felt that killing them was a very unwise choice.

And Zhang Wuji also cursed Zhao Min and Peng Yingyu as idiots in his heart.

This kind of thing should not be asked of him.If there is anything, they can solve it in private, and when the time comes, they will turn a blind eye and close their eyes and everything will be fine.Now that they have made it clear, what should they say?
Now Zhang Wuji really wanted to find someone who would do the dirty work for him.

However, compared to Zhang Wuji's hypocrisy as a person in power, Zhou Zhiruo is not so much flirtatious.

Although Zhou Zhiruo is jealous and has a great desire for power, but in terms of her heart, she is only a little girl, far inferior to Dai Qisi and Zhao Min.

And Zhou Zhiruo was born in poverty, and has been taught by her teacher for many years, so what she said just now was the truth.Although she hated the Mongols, it was not to the extent that all women and children were killed and exterminated.

Seeing Zhang Wuji's eyes, Zhao Min seemed to think of something.Although not sure, Zhao Min already has his own plans.

Zhao Min turned around and said, "Since Your Majesty has already issued an imperial decree, let us act according to His Majesty's orders."

"Yes!" Peng Yingyu led the women and children back down.

Zhang Wuji stood up at this time, stretched his waist, and said: "Let's go, since we have occupied this place, let's go to other places and see how the palaces in the Western Regions are different from those in Central Plains. "

After saying that, Zhang Wuji stepped down from the throne, and then led the crowd to wander around.

Although the place had just experienced a great war, the people of the Ming Cult cleaned up the place thoroughly, and cleaned up the blood and corpses in just a few hours.Now order has been restored in the palace.There are also new guards.

Zhang Wuji took everyone to visit, but Zhao Min was the only one missing at this time.

Seeing that Zhao Min was gone, the corners of Zhang Wuji's mouth couldn't help but rise into a smile. It seems that the person who understands him best in this world is his Minmin.

And Zhao Min went to Peng Yingyu's residence in private.

Seeing Zhao Min coming in, Peng Yingyu stood up quickly.But Peng Yingyu didn't salute her.

He stood up only because Zhao Min was Zhang Wuji's woman.But Zhang Wuji didn't officially confer Zhao Min anything now, so there was no need for Peng Yingyu to salute her.Besides, Peng Yingyu has always hated Zhao Min.

Out of politeness, Peng Yingyu shouted: "I don't know that the wife of the leader is here to find a subordinate, but there is something important."

Zhao Min smiled and said, "I don't know Mr. Peng is Brother Wuji's loyal minister and good general?"

Peng Yingyu was puzzled, wondering why Zhao Min asked such a question.

Peng Yingyu cupped her hands and replied, "It's natural."

Zhao Min sat down at Peng Yingyu's table unceremoniously, and she said, "That's good. Since Mr. Peng considers himself a loyal minister and good general, then I will speak directly."

Peng Yingyu said: "If you have anything to say, the wife of the leader can just speak up."

Zhao Min nodded, and then said: "This is the way of being a minister, but it is just a matter of 'eating the king's salary, and being loyal to the emperor'. Since Mr. Peng claims to be a loyal minister, then personal fame and loyalty to the emperor should not be considered. What I said right?"

Although Peng Yingyu was still at a loss, he still cupped his hands and said: "It's natural. Your Majesty has saved my life from the inside, and is also the lord of helping the country outside. I, Peng Yingyu, will go through fire and water for your majesty. , let alone a mere personal reputation."

After listening to Peng Yingyu's words, seeing the firm eyes, Zhao Min stood up at this moment, and bowed to Peng Yingyu in a quack manner.

Seeing Zhao Min bowing to her, Peng Yingyu was about to step forward to help her, but when she thought that the other party was a woman, or the woman of her lord, her hand stopped in mid-air, and then she said: "Madam leader, what are you doing? Yes. One of my subordinates made such a big gift, it really broke me."

Zhao Min replied: "This obeisance is to respect Mr. Peng's loyalty, and Mr. Peng deserves it."

Peng Yingyu said: "If you have any orders, the teacher's wife can just say it clearly. Peng Yingyu will never disgrace her mission!"

Zhao Min nodded and said, "Very well, since that's the case, I'll be blunt."
