Chapter 769: Nation
Li Dongyang and Xu Guangzuo were naturally overjoyed, patting their chests and promising that they would draw up the charter as soon as possible and present it to the Holy Driver. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This mighty and thorough investigation of corruption has also been decided.
For a time, there was joy and excitement in the Fengtian Palace, and there was also anxiety.
It's just that before they could finish digesting this matter, Zilong suddenly picked up a file from the top of the imperial case, and said loudly: "Ministers, do anyone know what this file is in my hand?"
"If Your Majesty doesn't say it, the old ministers and others naturally have no way of knowing!" For Zilong, Li Dongyang already understands that Zilong will not blame him if he speaks bluntly, so since he doesn't know, Li Dongyang simply took the lead and said it.
Sure enough, Zilong didn't care about the ministers below who didn't know what was in their hands, but directly on the imperial case, spread out the file, and said: "This file was taken from the archives of Jinyiwei, but what is recorded is from the Taizu period to the Hongzhi Dynasty The Hui riots!"
"Oh?" Li Dongyang's face did not move, but he asked in confusion, "The Hui people are rioting, what does Your Majesty mean by this?"
"These riots, one by one, one by one, are all dead countless people, not only my Han people, but also the Hui people, but also a lot of injuries!" Zilong did not answer Li Dongyang directly, but said as if he was taking care of himself, "After I saw it, I was extremely sad, and I have been thinking about why the Hui people have been rioting since the Taizu period and until the Hongzhi Dynasty!
"This ......" others don't know, Li Dongyang doesn't know, this Fengyue Gang is the Muslim gang, and what is the relationship between the gang leader Ma Fengyue and Zilong, but at the moment he keenly felt that Zilong might have something to announce, but before he didn't know the intentions of the new emperor, he didn't want to start a fire, so he wisely didn't speak.
He didn't speak, but some other ministers misunderstood, thinking that Li Dongyang couldn't answer the emperor's question.
Among them, there were ambitious people who wanted to show their faces, and at that moment a minister came out and said: "Back to Your Majesty, since the Yuan Dynasty, those Mongolian Tartars have divided all the people in the world into four classes, of which the Mongols are naturally the first class, the Semu people, including the current Hui people, are the second class, the northerners are the third class, and the southerners are the fourth class!"
Between each level, there are strong barriers. The people of the first and second classes can beat and kill the people of the fourth class at will, and dispose of them at will, without the slightest fault!
After decades of this, the people of the two sides have long accumulated deep grievances! By the time my Taizu started from cloth, the people of the world rose up and overthrew Meng Yuan.
Those beneficiaries of the Mengyuan period, the people of the upper and second classes naturally regarded our dynasty as enemies.
Among them, the Hui people were originally second-class people, but they had to give up their privileges, and they were unwilling, and some riots were due!"
Regarding Meng Yuan's unbelievable fourth-class policy, Zilong also heard Wan'er mention it. When he first heard it, he was still lamenting that the ruler of Meng Yuan was completely brainless?
Such policies that divide the people and wantonly create contradictions among the people are a long-term plan for peace and stability, and they are really self-defeating policies.
It's just that he didn't attribute the problem of the Hui people to the policies of these four class people. After all, he has limited knowledge, but where can he distinguish what the connection and difference are between the Hui people and the Semu people.
When he talked about the Hui riots in the court today, it was actually very simple, he just wanted to say that he analyzed the file and found the root cause of the Hui riots, and then tried to solve the matter.
But now the unknown minister is talking about the Tao, as if his analysis is wrong, and what he said about the Hui people is a problem left over from history.
But if the Hui people have been fighting against the Ming court everywhere because they have lost their privileges, then there is something wrong.
After all, if the Hui people in the Taizu period were still a privileged class left over from the Mengyuan Dynasty, this would be convincing.
However, the Hui people in the Hongzhi period have multiplied for several generations, and many of them have never heard of the glory of the Mengyuan morale and the Hui people, let alone know the vague connection between the people and the Hui people.
Therefore, the Hui riots in the Taizu period may have problems left over from history, but the Hui riots in the Hongzhi period may not have this reason.
Thinking of this, Zilong also organized the language, and said most of what he thought.
The official was just trying to show off his insight. Regardless of whether what Zilong said was right or not, in the case of Zilong as a monarch, he could not and did not dare to blatantly refute it.
What's more, what Zilong said was also the problem of the Hui riots like him, which was the best counterattack to the problems left over from history, and after listening to it, he couldn't help but reflect on it, and after a long time, he had to smile bitterly, shout "Your Majesty is wise", and then retreated into the class.
His retreat also made the court explode. All the ministers above the court, not to mention that they are all rich and rich, at least they are all capable people, regardless of whether their ability is right or evil!
Now, His Majesty, who has experienced the catastrophe, not only suddenly became concerned about government affairs, but also openly discussed with a minister in the court about the issue of government affairs such as the Muslim riot, which made the ministers' eyes shine.
The emperor who refuses to slack off on government is the most headache for them, and an emperor like Zilong, who can discuss with the minister and listen to the minister's opinions before discussing is what makes them happy.
Therefore, one minister has just returned from the feather, but more ministers have jumped out, and one by one they are doing their best to think about and put forward the possibilities of this civil riot.
But they may have been in the temple for too long and said many reasons, but after all, it was not the answer Zilong wanted.
Ke Zilong was also smiling, and after listening to them one by one, he reflected for a long time, and felt that it was reasonable, so he recorded it, but he ignored it, but he also found out the loopholes and fed back to the minister.
For a while, this was the first time that this kind of harmonious scene of monarchs and ministers appeared in this kind of court that was disputed and noisy in the past. Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe and others were dumbfounded, and they almost couldn't help but speak.
It's just that before they have time to speak, most of the points have already been said.
Seeing that the ministers below were gradually finished, Zilong couldn't help but rub his temples a little tiredly, and then took a good look at what he had recorded, and then said with a smile: "Today's court meeting, it is really a great pleasure to be able to consult with Zhu Qing, but in the future, if there is anything to say and admonish, Zhu Qing can be like today, there is no need to be taboo! I decree today, I will reign one day, and those who do not speak will be guilty!"
In fact, when Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was in his time, an unwritten rule was formed, and those who did not speak were criminalized!
However, Taizu's rules, firstly, are aimed at the Metropolitan Procuratorate responsible for supervision, as well as the six departments, and secondly, because of the different temperaments of the previous emperors, the implementation of this policy naturally has different deviations.
However, today, Zilong solemnly made this will, not only emphasizing the policy of innocence of the speaker, but also expanding the scope of this from the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Six Departments to the entire bureaucracy.
This made these ministers who were familiar with the Confucian classics since childhood, believed in the king's humility, and were good at admonishing the ministers, even Li Dongyang, who was also rarely full of smiles on his face, stroking his beard and smiling, looking at Zilong full of satisfaction.
And Li Dongyang even came forward, leading the ministers together, shouting long live to Zilong Mountain, and fortunately there was such a good monarch as Zilong, who appeared at the time of the decline of the Ming Dynasty.
After receiving this gift from Li Dongyang and the ministers, Zilong and the other ministers calmed down a little, and then said slowly: "I have just discussed with Zhuqing the various possibilities of many Hui riots, and although I disagree with some of them, there are some opinions, which really make my eyes shine!"
What Zhu Qing just said, and what I think is right, have been recorded, and I will send someone to investigate it clearly, and then I will reward Yi Ying and others respectively for these opinions, and then I implore Zhu Qing to propose solutions based on these opinions!"
This is Zilong's sincere words, remembering the rebellion of the Hui people in Fengxiang Mansion, Ma Fengyue's family was innocently killed, countless Hui people, Han people, and Ming soldiers were innocently killed, Zilong felt extremely sad.
He has been in Ningxia for a long time and has had many dealings with the Hui people. I feel that although the beliefs of the Hui people are different from those of the Han people in the Central Plains, most of the Hui people are quite benign like the Han Ming in the Central Plains.
If left unchecked, the Hui are likely to riot again for some reason. This is what Zilong doesn't want to see, he only hopes that during his years in power, not to mention that he can be smooth, at least he wants the country and the people to be safe, and the war is not prosperous!
Therefore, although some of the opinions expressed by these ministers are unrealistic, some of them can be verified, and if they are really feasible, they will naturally be implemented.
Zilong's words were even more modest to the extreme, and they moved the ministers below, and sang praises together, and after these polite words were finished, Zilong continued:
"What I want is not only your praise, but the praise of all the people of the world, and all the people of the world include the Muslims!
Therefore, before you, I consulted the file and wondered why the number of riots was much higher than that of our Han people, and even other ethnic minorities such as the Miao people, who were also Hui people under the Ming Dynasty!
Fortunately, a wise man will make a mistake if he thinks a thousand times, and a fool will have a thousand thoughts! Although I am not good at government affairs, when I was buried in the file, I finally discovered a difference between the Hui people and the Han people!"
By now, the ministers above the court were already extremely satisfied with Zilong, and gradually knew what the emperor was going to say, so as soon as he said this, Yang Tinghe also took over and said, "Dare to ask Your Majesty to show me!"
