Chapter 658: Finding a Reason
Xu Wanghua, Zheng Jinhong and Li Yan and others turned pale, Zheng Xunrui slowly told the Donglin Party people to prepare for the trouble, they didn't feel anything, but the reason why the Donglin Party people were preparing to attack was indeed very vicious, supporting the army and self-respect, controlling the economy, and cultivating power, any of these are enough to make Zheng Xunrui irreversible, once Zheng Xunrui does not intend to succumb, then an unprecedented shock will be staged in the Ming Dynasty.
Even Xu Wanghua, who has always been rigorous and calm, was a little surprised and angry.
"My lord, my subordinates think that they should take action immediately and completely wipe out Donglin Academy, Fushe and Yingshe, and they must not let their conspiracy succeed, otherwise the situation will be very unfavorable to your lordship."
After Xu Wanghua finished speaking, Zheng Jinhong followed and spoke.
"Young master, my subordinates took the soldiers of the Zheng family army and transferred them to Donglin Academy."
Li Yan, who rarely spoke, also opened his mouth to express his opinions.
"My lord, my subordinates don't think they can let Qian Qianyi and the others succeed."
Zheng Xunrui didn't speak immediately, when it was really time to do it, he became extraordinarily calm, it was not difficult to dispatch the Zheng family army to end up Donglin Academy, and it was not a big deal to force it, this world is not something that a scholar can control, the so-called immediate victory of the world, when seizing the country, the focus is still on relying on the army, but Zheng Xunrui has to consider the reality of fighting but not breaking.
He and the emperor and the court have not been able to completely turn their faces, the time is indeed immature, from a small place, his parents are in the capital, or the emperor and the court hostages, he can't ignore his parents' lives because of his own rebellion.
In general, the Ming Dynasty must maintain the unity on the surface, once he raised the banner of rebellion in Nanzhili, the Ming Dynasty was instantly torn apart, and the Liukou and Houjin Tartars in the north had a rare opportunity. The world will enter the midst of brutal battles, and all the efforts made after crossing may be in vain, and some situations in history may be repeated again, and there may even be a situation in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty.
Such a situation is for Zheng Xunrui, who has ambitions and wants to revitalize the Ming Dynasty. It's unbearable, but the Golden Tartars and the Rogues don't care about these things.
Therefore, Zheng Xunrui must temporarily maintain the unification of the Ming Dynasty.
With this in mind, when he started to clean up the Donglin Party, he had to find a suitable reason, even if the reason was a little far-fetched.
"I understand what you mean, but there are a few things you have to consider."
"The first thing, Donglin Academy, Fushe and Yingshe are almost all scholars, when Zheng Jiajun started to encircle and suppress. What kind of method is adopted, Qin Shi Huang burned books and pit Confucianism, and the real killing of scholars is only more than 200 people, but the infamy is passed down through the ages, if we do it to the Donglin Party, will we bear such an infamy, we must consider, whether we can bear such an infamy. ”
"The second thing. The reason behind the Donglin Party's trouble. You all know, if we don't have any reason to do it, will we remind the emperor and the court that we already know the reason for everything, and we are ready to tear our faces, and the rogues in the north are harassing on a large scale. At this time, we started to cause a huge shock, and what kind of consequences and outcomes will be formed, I am afraid it is difficult for us to control. ”
"The third thing involves the integrity of the reader. We do it on a large scale, without any reason, it is almost the opposite of the world's readers, among the readers, many people still have backbone and integrity, if we get the world's readers to be our enemies, our next development, there will be many difficulties. ”
Zheng Xunrui's words made Xu Wanghua, Zheng Jinhong, Li Yan and others silent, and they were also a lot more sober, they really didn't think of so much, thinking that they would be able to solve all the problems by encircling and suppressing Donglin Academy, as for the next step, that is, to take one step at a time, and to do anything, it is impossible to consider perfection.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Zheng Xunrui spoke again.
"We must find a reason to do it, even if it is not a very reliable reason, my consideration, after we do it, don't kill those Donglin Party members, our purpose is to clear their foundation in Nanzhili, including Zhejiang and other places, after doing these things, all the backbone of the Donglin Party people will be escorted to the capital, and this trouble and burden will be handed over to the emperor and the court to deal with, as for what kind of measures the emperor and the court take, it is none of our business."
"We did this, the emperor and the court can also understand the mystery, but they have no way to do it, they can only suffer dumb losses, the emperor and the court want to use the Donglin party people to deal with me, thinking about let me and the Donglin party people fight each other, you live and die, they do the profiting fisherman, where there is such a simple thing, I will use the way of others to govern their bodies, so that they can also experience the taste of being used."
"Okay, let's all talk about it, what kind of reasons can we find to completely eradicate the influence of the Donglin Party in the south and even in the south."
Xu Wanghua, Zheng Jinhong and Li Yan are all embarrassed, this question is not easy to answer, you must know that Donglin Academy has encountered many crises, and they have been able to survive unharmed, which has its own reasons, Gu Xiancheng's couplet: The sound of wind and rain and the sound of reading are in the ears, family affairs, national affairs, and everything in the world is concerned, and it has always been hung in the Donglin Academy in Wuxi, which has become the words and theories of Donglin students to worship, and over the years, the Donglin Party people have continuously improved their own theories, and they will petition for the people to crack down on corrupt officials. There is also a clear sky in Daming, which is praised, so the Donglin Party can develop and grow rapidly, and its influence is getting bigger and bigger.
The biggest problem of the Donglin Party people is to say one thing and do another, many Donglin Party people are sanctimonious on the surface, and the men thieves and prostitutes in their bones, but the disadvantages of doing one set cannot cover up their theory, that is to say, it is difficult to find the troubles and defects of the Donglin Party people from the theory, but when it comes to the corruption of a specific Donglin Party person, it cannot show that there is a problem in the Donglin Party.
Seeing that everyone couldn't say anything for a long time, Zheng Xunrui sighed slightly, he couldn't blame everyone, even after hundreds of years, the controversy over the Donglin Party was very big, if it wasn't for a comprehensive absorption of historical knowledge, Zheng Xunrui would not have such a deep understanding of the Donglin Party, and his understanding was not acceptable to everyone, for example, the official history after hundreds of years may not necessarily agree.
"I think we can summarize the Donglin Party members from three aspects."
"The first aspect, forming a party for personal gain, causing chaos in the government, Donglin Academy, Fushe and Yingshe, in the final analysis, is a small group formed in order to compete for power, they seem to stand on the moral high ground through a series of beautiful speeches, in fact, they are thinking about fighting for power and profit in their bones, they are in the court, in the local area all the time satirizing the government, judging people, they use such means, to gain a lot of sympathy and support, in order to compete with the emperor and the court."
"The second aspect, interests first, contempt for the imperial power, ignoring the great tomorrow, the Donglin Party put their own interests in the interests of the country, the interests of the royal family and the interests of the court, the Donglin Party people do not compete with the people, hide the wealth from the people, and do not speak of profit, only the righteousness as an excuse, to prevent the court and the emperor from levying taxes on commerce, all the taxes on the peasants, resulting in the emptiness of the treasury, the peasants can not bear the burden and rebel, but the Donglin Party secretly colludes with the merchants, scholars, and frantically oppresses the people, They abolished the trade tax and blindly increased the agricultural tax, they made the scholars and merchants rich, and let their own interests be fully protected, but let the people struggle on the edge of death, and let the Ming Dynasty crumble. ”
"The third aspect, single-minded for personal gain, poor quality, Donglin Party people in order to control the government, reverse black and white, as long as they do not follow their scholars, scholars and officials, they are going to do their best to suppress, they do not care about the facts, more than unwarranted matters, to bring down the opponent, Donglin Party people through the county examination, government examination, hospital examination and even the examination, in order to become the face of the student's teacher, forcing the students of the imperial examination high school to become their supporters, my Ming imperial examination was originally for the imperial court to select outstanding talents, for the emperor to select the elite of governing the country, but it has become a platform for the Donglin Party to expand their power, and the local Donglin Academy, Fushe and Ying Society, etc., are all for this purpose. ”
Speaking of this, Zheng Xunrui paused slightly.
"Mr. Xu, on the basis of these three aspects, you come to write a memo to expose and impeach the Donglin Party, Donglin Academy, Fushe and Yingshe, and this memo will be signed with my name, and when we start to clean up Donglin Academy, Fushe and Yingshe, it will be widely publicized among scholars, scholars and businessmen in the south, and some specific examples will be attached, and this memo will follow those Donglin Party members, Fushe and Yingshe backbones who were escorted to the capital to the capital."
Xu Wanghua's face turned slightly pale, this is because of excitement, if the reason why the Donglin Party found Zheng Xunrui's rebellion was shocking, then Zheng Xunrui's fault with the Donglin Party can be described as an earthquake, not to mention the emperor, even ordinary scholars will grit their teeth when they see such a twist and turn, and hate the Donglin Party people to the core.
Being able to make such a summary shows that Zheng Xunrui has done too much research on Donglin Academy, Fushe and Yingshe, and to clean up Donglin Academy, Fushe and Yingshe in the south for such a reason, can get widespread support, and can make the emperor and the court grit their teeth and applaud.
I believe that the backbone of the Donglin Party who were escorted to the capital will become a hot potato, so that the emperor and the court do not know what to do. (To be continued......)
