I am the king of the dead

"Everyone gets it and kills it!"

Yu Qian bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Yu Qian had a smile on his face, he had already asked what he wanted to ask clearly, he was never asking about Li Xian's family, nor about the every move of the rebels, he was asking about His Majesty's heart for rewards and punishments.

Zhu Qiyu took a sip of tea and said, "Obviously Yu Shaobao has something to say."

Yu Qian nodded and said: "Zhuangzi said: Those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be princes."

Because of his abolition of Zhu Qizhen's throne, Yu Qian has always been cautious in persuading him. He is always between the critical point of a powerful minister and a virtuous minister who saves time.

At that time, if it was not abolished, it would not work. The four disasters came together. If it was not abolished, Daming would be abolished.

Although Yu Qian has been talking about the past, he has always been talking about the present.

Yu Qian sighed and continued: "In the past, the neighbors of the Qi State looked at each other, and heard the sound of chickens and dogs. It was more than [-] miles away from the place where the cloth was laid and the place where Lei Lei was stabbed. Those who rule the country, the township, the house, the state, the village, the township, and the music, are they the lawless saints?"

"However, once Tian Chengzi kills the king of Qi, he will steal his country. Will his country be the only one who steals evil?"

This refers to Tian Shi Daiqi.

Jiang Taigong's feudal state was in the state of Qi, and was later replaced by the Tian family. Later, the Tian family was made the Marquis of Qi by the king of Zhou, so there is an allusion of the thief.

Yu Qian sighed and said: "Your Majesty, if we all use the sage's benevolence to govern the world, the bandit Zhi will be rampant."

"The sage made the Douhu to hold the world, made the balance to weigh the world, made the talisman to win the trust of the world, and used benevolence and righteousness to regulate the world. for personal gain."

"Isn't Robber Zhi stealing the saint's virtue and wisdom?"

"Thus, those followers who steal Zhi, occupy the positions of princes, steal benevolence and righteousness, and weigh the benefits of seals, even if they are rewarded by high-ranking officials and generous salaries, it is impossible to persuade them, even if they are majestic to kill with axes and axes. May be prohibited."

Undoubtedly, the sage Yu Qian mentioned was Zhu Yuanzhang who founded the Ming Dynasty, and fighting dendrobium, balance, talisman, benevolence and righteousness were false references to various powers of the Ming Dynasty.

Shi Heng, Yang Jun and even Zhu Qiyu, in fact, have always had a question, that is, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty clearly has high officials and rich salary, has the majesty of killing with an axe and axe, and clearly holds the strongest army in the world in his hands, but these people still turned against each other Woolen cloth?

Are they not afraid?

Of course they are afraid!

But as Hu Wei said, three times the profit is lawless!

The benefits are too great, and all the rebels are those who steal benevolence and righteousness and fight, weigh, and benefit from the talisman. They are used to such days, and naturally they are unwilling to lose them.

Then who let them steal the power of fighting dendrobium, weighing, talisman, and benevolence?

Obviously not Zhu Qiyu.

In the 24 years of the prosperity of Wen and Wu, the court of Ming Dynasty and the emperor of Ming Dynasty lost too much power, so that when they wanted to take back these powers, these people yelled against them, and even gathered in Together, rebel.

When Yu Qian said this, he suddenly smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I suddenly remembered an old incident."

"It's about the Spring and Autumn Period. There was a country named Song."

"Zihan went to the state of Song as chancellor, and told the king of Song that whether the country is in peril or stability, and whether the people are united or alienated, all depends on the rewards and punishments implemented by the king."

"If rewards are appropriate, talents can be encouraged; if punishments are appropriate, treacherous villains can be deterred; if rewards and punishments are improper, virtuous people will not be persuaded, and villains will not stop."

"Treacherous people gather together to compete with each other, deceive and deceive the monarch, and win titles and fortunes in this way. You must not be careless."

"Does your Majesty think his words are correct?" Yu Qian asked.

Zhu Qiyu said as a matter of course: "Distinct rewards and punishments are the way to rejuvenate the country."

Yu Qian said with a smile: "The reason is a good reason, and Song Jun also thinks it is very reasonable."

"After Zihan said a lot of very reasonable things earlier, he immediately changed the subject and said that everyone likes rewards, and the monarch will do it; everyone hates punishment, so Zihan will do it."

"Song Jun was overjoyed, and handed over the matter of punishment and killing to this Prime Minister Zihan."

Zhu Qiyu pondered for a long time and said: "Putting a false name, naturally there will be no good results."

Yu Qian bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

"This Prime Minister Zihan has mastered the matter of punishment and killing. All the ministers are close to him, and the people are all attached to him. After a few years, Prime Minister Zihan dismissed Song Jun and became Song Jun himself."

Tian's generation was the marquis of stealing the country, and Zihan's generation of Song was also the marquis of stealing the country.

Yu Qian was full of emotion, his majesty never spared his life, never cared about the false name, and was never angry when he was called a king of subjugation.

Rewards and punishments are all in the hands of His Majesty, the rewards are heavy rewards, and the punishments are homicides and sent to the imperial hospital, which can be called violent.

To do so, from a Confucian perspective, is wrong.

But looking at it from the perspective of all schools of thought, it couldn't be more correct.

So, how can Yu Qian persuade His Majesty from the Confucian classics?

It is wrong to do that.

Yu Qian bowed his head and said: "Therefore, there is no weak king and no strong husband. "Laozi" says: Fish can't escape from the deep, and the country's sharp weapon can't be borrowed from others."

Just like a fish cannot be out of water, the state's public implements cannot be handed over to others.

It's like King Jili, in order to save trouble, handed over the power of inspecting the capital camp, rewarding and punishing courtiers, and handing over the state's public instruments to Wang Zhen. In the end, the loss of teachers in Tumubao and humiliation of the country became the biggest joke of the Ming Dynasty.

It is absolutely unacceptable for the public weapon of the country to be handed over to others, and it will lose the way.

Zhu Qiyu couldn't help nodding, and said with a smile: "Yu Shaobao is a great talent."

Yu Qian hurriedly replied: "It's all because the sage is in court, and I have more leisure time. Naturally, I have time to think. It's all because of His Majesty's sage that I have the time to sort out."

After Xing'an finished listening to the political discussion, he refilled a cup for His Majesty and Yu Qian and said, "Drink tea."

Xing'an interrupted the mutual flattery of the monarch and his subjects, and he finally understood.

Yu Qian started by asking Li Xian's family how to deal with them, and asked His Majesty's heart for rewards and punishments, and then explained the necessity of the rebel army having to follow His Majesty's laws with "the one who steals the hook" Zhu, those who steal the country are princes" explained why they rebelled and why they dared to rebel.

Then, with the allusion of "Tian Shi replaces Qi, Zihan replaces Song" to explain why the country is stolen, and finally ends with the words of "Lao Tzu" "A fish cannot escape from the deep, and a country's sharp weapon cannot be borrowed from others."

Yu Qian is advising His Majesty that the sharp weapon of the country should not be used by others.

In this short time of a cup of tea, Yu Qian clearly explained the many doubts that have been disturbing during this period of time, and also advised His Majesty not to use the sharp weapon in charge of the country to others.

Xing'an sighed again and again, he deserved to be Yu Shaobao who saved the world.

"Does Yu Shaobao think that Li Xian himself can be forgiven?" Zhu Qiyu asked with a smile.

Yu Qian smiled and said without saying a word: "Your Majesty thinks so."

pull.

Chapter 332 The Emperor's Two Big Mouths

Zhu Qiyu thought for a long time and said: "Yu Shaobao, I thought that if Li Xian made meritorious service, he could be pardoned."

What Zhu Qiyu was talking about was not Li Xian's family, but Li Xian himself. It is true that Li Xian was a tyrant, but he was forced to commit himself to a thief.

Li Xian and Sai Yinbuhua are different, Saiyin Buhua is willing to surrender to the enemy, Li Xian is a person with an axe, Zhu Qiyu knows the five poisons of Jinyiwei.

Especially the earth penalty is really scary.

Moreover, multiple sources confirmed that Li Xian once wanted to kill himself, but was stopped.

Yu Qian drank a cup of tea seriously, and kept silent. The time for a cup of tea was as long as a year. The entire imperial study room was silent, and the cicadas outside the window were neighing non-stop.

Xing'an didn't understand what this silence represented at all, he sat blankly, full of thoughts.

Yu Qian finished drinking his tea, took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to wrong yourself. The wronged Emperor Taizu Taizong is a general trend, and he has to be wronged."

"Why should Your Majesty?"

Right now the Ming Dynasty is booming, there are not many other things in the Ming Dynasty, talented people can be found everywhere, as long as the promotion system is formulated, they will naturally be screened out from the crowd.

His Majesty's intention to forgive Li Xian is probably due to Li Xian's talent.

This is not surprising.

Your Majesty has a fair heart, Xu Youzhen even stood in the wrong team, went to Zhang Qiu to control the water, and received a miracle card.

Chen Yi said wildly after drinking that he had lost the position of the chief constitution, and now he is on his way back to the court.

Zhu Qiyu's tea was also finished, he said with a smile: "Where did I feel wronged?"

Those who don't seek small gains have big plans, His Majesty is not satisfied with Daming who already has the appearance of ZTE, His Majesty wants even more.

But it's just Li Xian.

When Yu Qian drank this cup of tea, he was thinking about what kind of scheme His Majesty is trying to forgive Li Xian.

Yu Qian clicked on the memorial on the table and said: "Your Majesty, this statement is a bit ugly."

The call to arms is a letter of war. Naturally, what is said is hard to hear.

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said: "Who commits himself to a thief, who has no choice but to add an ax to his body without changing his face, how much is there? There are very few people like Wen Tianxiang."

Wen Tianxiang was captured but refused to surrender, and was given to death in the end.

There are so few loyal ministers in this world, otherwise it would not be passed down forever.

That Hong Chengchou was deeply favored by Emperor Chongzhen. After he was defeated and captured, Emperor Chongzhen thought that he would die, and he was extremely sad. He wrote a sacrificial letter in person and wanted to pay homage to Hong Dudu himself. When it was reported to the capital, Chongzhen was so angry that he vomited blood.

There are flawed people like Xu Youzhen in the world, and how many loyal ministers like Zhuge Liang, Wen Tianxiang, and Yu Qian are there?

Zhu Qiyu took a deep breath and said: "Li Xian saved face for me, and made two spaces for me."

"Facing Tianjing Nanqing's side, Zhengchao Gang, still respecting me as the emperor, the rules of the game have been very interesting since ancient times."

"Unless you are sure that your rebellion will succeed, you will not easily change your title and proclaim yourself emperor."

Why did Zhu Yuanzhang pinch his nose and put the Yuan Dynasty into Zhengshuo?After Zhu Dijing was difficult to succeed, he changed to Yuan Yongle.

There are many reasons for this. In fact, the main reason is the rules of the game. If the rebellion fails, those who follow the rebellion may still be forgiven.

After Zhu Dijing was in trouble, he did not kill all the bureaucrats in the south.I also picked a few high jumpers and killed them.

Some people are coerced, that's for sure.

On the side of Lord Qing, it is a fig leaf pulled out by everyone. With this fig leaf, people will follow. Even if they fail, as long as they are not the culprit, most of them can escape and survive.

It is the ritual of Zhou to suspend the people and punish crimes, appease the people, and punish crimes.

Why is King Guangtong's rebellion a joke?Before he rebelled, he changed his Yuan first, so as not to give everyone a way out, who would follow him to his death?

When Zhu Qiyu talked about the Qing emperor's side, Yu Qian also understood it. It is estimated that His Majesty also has a plan on how to reward and punish in his heart.

Yu Qian pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, Yanzi said: There are three ominous things in a country. If a husband is wise but doesn't know it, the first is ominous; if he knows it but doesn't use it, the second is ominous; if he uses it but doesn't let him, the third is ominous; the so-called ominousness is like this."

"If Li Xian is really talented, I think it's okay to spare his life and serve the court."

Zhu Qiyu forgave Yuan Bin.

Yuan Bin got lost and went to Dongshengwei, and was rescued by Ji Duo under the city. Yuan Bin had to go back to the Wara camp.

The emperor at that time was very angry, how could King Jili have loyal ministers!He is not worthy!

But things developed later, and Yuan Bin was also known for his loyalty in the Jingtai Dynasty.

His Majesty wanted to send an envoy, and the three stood up without saying a word, and went straight away.

Zhu Qiyu took Li Xian's memorial, read it for a long time and said: "He has talents."

Using what I know to dispatch food and pay, estimate the strength of troops and approximate deployment, isn't this ability a talent?

If Zuo Yiye hadn't accepted it to confirm, how many people would have been spared when the army marched to suppress it?

"But he mentioned one thing here, that is, he hopes to transport silver to Beijing in exchange for silver coins. If there is no money for the rebellion, do you still have to ask me for it?!" Zhu Qiyu said angrily, pointing to the table.

Xing'an hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, according to His Majesty's imperial decree, the taxes they do not pay now will have to be paid after the army advances. This is two."

"If the silver taels were sent to the capital to be stamped into imperial silver coins, wouldn't it be, wouldn't it be necessary to pay three taxes?"

"This seigniorage is also a tax."

Seigniorage refers to the income from the issuance of currency.

Its profits are extremely high, even after Zhu Qiyu's repeated adjustments, after the military battle bureau took one cent and four cents, the imperial court and internal funds each had eight cents of profit.

Moreover, because of the use of hydraulic screw presses and the increase in productivity in Bingzhanju, under the condition of guaranteeing labor remuneration, the quarterly profit that was given up can also be slowly returned to the court and internal funds.

Zhu Qiyu has planning provinces, labor insurance bureaus, and military warfare bureaus that also belong to the Daming Royal Department, but because he expected that the demand for money will further increase in the future, Zhu Qiyu has not withdrawn the four-point profit for the time being.

However, Jin Lian has already begun to suspect that the two-point profit given by the Ministry of Accounts has been swallowed up by internal funds!I've searched for it several times!

After all, both the Military Bureau and internal funds belong to the internal affairs department.

"Ah, it seems to be three shares." Zhu Qiyu scratched his head and said, "What are they trying to rebel for? A lot of the tax that should be paid is handed over to the imperial court, and I still owe a share. The seigniorage is still paid." Not wrong."
