Chapter 0817 The people rebelled, calm down or appease?(2/2)
Zhu Youxiao looked at Lu Xiangsheng: "What Mr. Lu Ge means is that there is a problem in Sichuan and Shu?"
Lu Xiangsheng nodded and said nothing.
Zhu Youxiao nodded while holding back his anger. It was impossible for Chengdu Prefecture to believe everything that the mob said about rebellion. After all, he had personally conducted a private interview incognito. People are good at being patient. If they were not pushed to the point of desperation, there would be no way out.
Don't take risks because of your misfortune.
Five hundred thousand people!
Wei Banban." Zhu Youxiao regained his composure.
Wei Zhongxian hurriedly stepped forward: "My servant is here.
Go, go and investigate for me. Investigate everything about Sichuan and Shu. I want to know clearly why the people rebelled and what happened in Sichuan and Shu."
Zhu Youxiao's tone was calm, but the killing intent in it made Wei Zhongxian shudder.
Wei Zhongxian hurriedly ran down to do some errands to investigate the information. There really was no one more professional than their Dong Factory.
The Cui Ri court meeting was held, and Zhu Youxiao went to court. All civil and military officials already knew about the major events that happened yesterday.
Zhu Youxiao had just come to court, and officials immediately came out: "Your Majesty, I have this memorial."
A mob of 500,000 people rebelled in Sichuan and Sichuan, shaking the southwest! Once the news spreads, the world will be in an uproar. I sincerely request your majesty to deal with it with thunderous means!
After the official finished speaking, another censor came out immediately: "Your Majesty, I agree with Lord Sun's opinion."
If the mob rebels, where is the majesty of the imperial court? In the southwest, there are unruly people from the poor mountains and rivers, and the chieftains and seedlings are alienated from our Ming Dynasty. Now that there is a mob rebellion, it is inevitable that these chieftains and seedlings will not move with the times.
If the imperial court cannot put an end to the chaos in time, chaos will inevitably break out everywhere in the world!"
After hearing what these people said, Zhu Youxiao agreed very much in his heart.
Yes, half a million people have rebelled, no matter what the reason is, they have rebelled
To rebel is to slap Zhu Youxiao in the face, and to slap the imperial court in the face!
We just said that the Ming Dynasty was peaceful and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Now there are half a million people rebelling. Doesn't this mean that Zhu Youxiao is not good at governing the world, and that his apocalyptic era is a joke?
With so many people rebelling, if they are not suppressed quickly, the entire southwest will definitely be in chaos!
As the emperor, Zhu Youxiao's most important thing is the stability of the country. He cannot sit back and watch the chaos in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty, let alone allow this incident to affect his country of the Ming Dynasty and affect his plan to conquer the Liao Dynasty.
The people in Sichuan and Sichuan are rebelling. Troops from Yunnan and Huguang will be mobilized, and they should be able to quell the rebellion in more than a month.
After making up his mind, Zhu Youxiao asked: "What do you, dear friends, think?"
Soon, many imperial censors, civil and military officials came out to express their approval of sending troops to quell the rebellion. Obviously, they didn't care why the 500,000 people in the southwest rebelled. They only wanted to suppress these people who dared to rebel.
Seeing that the general trend is about to come true, Zhu Youxiao is ready to take advantage of the trend. Lu Xiangsheng has stepped forward as a minister, and he does not agree with it!"
"Zhu Youxiaomei
His head wrinkled slightly: What can I say?
Lu Xiangsheng saluted: "Your Majesty's remarks asking your Majesty to send troops quickly are really nonsense!
There is chaos in the southwest, and the people are revolting. Why are the people revolting? What is the reason? You are indifferent and only think about suppressing it. Is this the way to be a minister?
Half a million people, what exactly is Pengci in your eyes?
Your Majesty, it is easy to send out troops to quell the chaos, but once the army is sent out, blood will be shed in Sichuan and Sichuan. How will all the people in the world regard your Majesty?
Soon someone else came out and said, "I cannot agree with this statement of Prime Minister Lu!
If the Sichuan-Sichuan rebellion is not put down quickly, all the people in the world will despise the imperial court. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven and the father of all peoples. The thunder and rain are all a sign of your grace. Now that the people in the southwest are rebelling, they have no king and no father. They are unfaithful and unfilial. Your Majesty sends troops.
If the chaos is quelled, all the people in the world will only become more submissive.
If you just sit back and watch that mob bring chaos to the entire Southwest, how will your Majesty handle your plans? How will all the people in the world view the imperial court? And how will all the countries from all over the world remain in awe of me, the Ming Dynasty?!"
Next, the chaos in the southwest must be put down quickly, otherwise there will be suspicion!"
Soon, the court was divided into two factions. One faction supported the rapid dispatch of troops to quell the chaos and eliminate the disaster in the southwest:
One group believes that we should find out the cause and see if we can appease the people and let them go back to farming. After all, if half a million people are killed at the request of the people, the entire southwest will be in pain.
Those who support quick counterinsurgency are mainly from the old party, while those who support investigating the cause first are mainly the new party.
Zhu Youxiao keenly discovered that the ideas between the old party and the new party were completely opposite.
The Japanese Party supports the protection of the rights and interests of the existing powerful and gentry, and at the same time safeguards the imperial power. On this basis, nothing cannot be sacrificed. How about a rebellion of 500,000 people?
Just kill them. Anyway, if you kill 500,000, there will still be so many. Killing a few can bring peace to the world.
However, the New Party believes that the people are the most important thing for the country and the country. Everything must be based on the people. The world is not just for the emperor, but for all the people. We cannot sacrifice 500,000 people for the so-called world.
In order to achieve peace, the culprits should be identified to quell public anger.
The ideological differences between the two sides made Zhu Youxiao wary. He looked at the New Party officials who were arguing hard, and then at the cabinet ministers and six ministers standing at the forefront. Zhu Youxiao suddenly had a terrible thought.
:
Now that half a million people are in rebellion, these new parties can ignore the majesty of the royal family and the safety of the court for the sake of the people.
So if millions of people rebel, will these new parties really think that he, the emperor, is not good enough and need to change the emperor to quell public anger?
As soon as this idea came out, Zhu Youxiao suddenly shuddered. He looked at the officials from the two parties arguing endlessly, and suddenly felt a little tired: "That's it for today. I'm tired, let's dismiss the court.
Lu Yin returned to Wuying Hall with a sullen face. Zhu Youxiao didn't even take a few bites of the meal, obviously he was in a bad mood.
At the subsequent court meeting, the New Party and the Japanese Party argued more intensely over how to deal with the rebellious people in Sichuan and Sichuan, and some news spread about why the people in Sichuan and Sichuan rebelled.
Among them, there are all kinds of news that Zhu Zhishu imposed excessive taxes, abused people's power, oppressed the people, and wantonly killed people, leading to the destruction of people's families.
When the news came and some conclusive evidence was found, the New Party officials immediately became tough.
Your Majesty, the facts have been ascertained that it was not the people who wanted to rebel, but the King of Shu who was stupid and the people had no choice but to rebel. Your Majesty should implement benevolent policies and appease the people, so the people will inevitably disperse.
Japanese party officials immediately refuted why the people rebelled instead of suing the officials. Could it be that they were already rebellious?
Your Majesty has tolerated them this time, but if something goes against the will of these mobs next time, will they continue to rebel?
If anything goes against the will of these mobs, they can do whatever they want. How can the imperial court govern the world, and how can local officials let their herds go?
"Your Majesty, this kind of mob behavior cannot be tolerated and must be severely punished to set the record straight and show the dignity of the court!
New Party officials immediately refuted
The people had no way to appeal and were desperate to return.
What can be done?
The bureaucrats in Shu are corrupt and pervert the law. Together with the king of Shu, they squeeze the people and impose excessive taxes. All kinds of extortionate taxes and miscellaneous taxes are shocking. Looking at the Shu, what does the originally good land of abundance look like now? This is ***, what does it have to do with the people?"
Your Majesty, how can you use the blood of the people to demonstrate the majesty of the imperial court? The corrupt officials in Shu should be severely punished to rectify the hearts of the people. Only in this way can you demonstrate the majesty of the imperial court and your majesty's benevolent government. The people will surely remember your majesty's kindness and benevolence to all people in the world.
