Chapter 76 Sending Dayuan loyal ministers to the road
Bai Jing'en was so angry that he almost exploded, but in the end, because of his identity as a prisoner, he just sighed and bowed his head in silence.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought he knew he was wrong, so he sneered: "You said you have a heart to care for the people. Now the people support you and praise you in unison. The market is peaceful and you can live and work in peace and contentment. Isn't it our credit?"
Hearing that Lao Zhu called himself "we", Bai Jingen's anger was once again uncontrollable.
It’s such a vulgar thing. How do you know how to govern the people?
It's just relying on the self-respect of supporting troops and showing off one's strength.
After all, I have read the books of saints and sages for decades, and I have been an official in the court for many years. How can I surrender to the bandits?
"Hmph! You are a traitor, and the chaos in the world is all your fault. Now you dare to claim credit?"
"you!"
Lao Zhu was furious. Is this still human talk?
Is it his fault that the world is in chaos?
The Yuan Dynasty went against the grain and regarded the people as nothing. After decades of oppression, the people were at the end of their rope. The Yuan Dynasty forced the people to die.
Only then did the people who couldn’t survive angrily attack, and then there were red scarves all over the place!
Nowadays, some people are telling lies with their eyes open, blaming themselves for the chaos in the world, and this is a person who studied and became an official?
Could it be that what you read is confusing right and wrong, and what you do as an official is to be completely unconscionable?
Lao Zhu's repressed anger could not be suppressed. In order to get Chuzhou, he was still too generous to others. Some beasts were not enough to calm the anger in his heart without killing them!
Zhu Yuanzhang looked left and right and was about to give an order.
At this time, Zhang Ximeng stood up and smiled at Zhu Yuanzhang.
"My lord, please be patient. Let me ask you a few questions to help my lord tell the truth about this person."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with a dark face, "Leave it to sir."
Zhang Ximeng stood up and said with a smile: "Bai Jing'en, I'm very curious. A few days ago, you surrendered naked. If my lord, Corporal Li Xian, had given you a great favor, please ignore the past grudges and assist my lord, govern the place, and benefit the place."
People...will you agree?"
Bai Jingen was startled, could he?
To be fair, yes!
After all, if you really want to be a loyal minister of the Yuan Dynasty, you can fight at your back or hang yourself from a cliff. If you can leave a letter and pray that Zhu Yuanzhang will treat the people well, you have a conscience.
But the problem is that Zhu Yuanzhang did not treat him well as a prefect who was well-read in poetry.
He loved the people, but he was treated as a prisoner and imprisoned.
It is especially hateful to humiliate yourself and say that you are better at governing the people than you are. This is simply unbearable!
"I am a loyal minister of the Yuan Dynasty, how can I bend my knees to a traitor?"
When he heard the traitor, Lao Zhu became even more angry. He simply turned his head to the side and left it to Zhang Ximeng to deal with. He didn't bother to take a second look, for fear that he could not control himself.
Zhang Ximeng was calm, and said calmly: "You repeatedly said that we are thieves, so you think Yuan Ting is orthodox?"
Bai Jingen gritted his teeth and said, "The Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty has inherited the virtues of heaven and swept the world, unifying all the wastelands. We are all subjects of the Yuan Dynasty, but I am a loyal minister and you are the traitors!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Zhang Ximeng couldn't help laughing loudly, "Bai Jing'en, what a loyal minister of the Yuan Dynasty! After all, although you are a Han, you can be an official in the Yuan Dynasty, and you are also a superior person. Not only you, but also your family can live well."
Very good?"
Bai Jingen was stunned, what do you mean? Could it bring harm to his family?
But his family is not here. You have made the wrong calculation!
He just glared and said nothing.
Zhang Ximeng continued: "Although the Yuan Dynasty was dominated by the Mongols who took over the Central Plains and bullied and oppressed the Han people, the lives of the people in the south of the Yangtze River were nothing more than a donkey! But under the Mongols, there was a group of people who were willing to act as lackeys, who were willing to act as stooges.
...Especially at this time when the Yuan Dynasty has lost all its people and the heroes of the world have risen together!"
"This brings us back to the original question." Zhang Ximeng stared at Bai Jing'en and asked again: "If my lord initially treated you like a distinguished guest, gave you dignity, gave you power, and allowed you to continue to be a master, would you have abandoned Yuan Ting?
,Change to join the lord?"
Bai Jingen gritted his teeth, rattled his whole body, and trembled. He suddenly shouted, "Little thief, don't talk nonsense here. It's just a matter of death! Just kill me!"
Zhang Ximeng laughed loudly, turned his head and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "My lord, the matter has become very clear now...Bai Jingen is not a person, but a group of people. Let's say they are loyal to Yuan Ting, but they may not be willing to replace Yuan Ting."
Go and die. You can win over them, but they rely on their status and want to continue to be the master and dominate. How to describe them?"
Zhang Ximeng thought about it for a moment, suddenly thought of a sentence, and couldn't help laughing: "Maybe these are a group of hypocritical bitches!"
When Zhang Ximeng said these words, Luo Guanzhong, who had been watching, widened his eyes. What an incisive summary!
You must write it down, it will come in handy when you write a book later!
Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally overjoyed, and the young gentleman was so sharp! But after Lao Zhu thought about it for a while, he seemed to have tasted something deeper.
"Sir, I come from a humble background. I was once a beggar monk. It seems reasonable for people to look down on me."
Zhang Ximeng said with a smile: "My lord, this is not only reasonable, it is simply reasonable. In theory, our hatred against Yuan Ting may not be greater than our hatred against these high-ranking scholar-bureaucrats!"
The words were not loud, but they sounded like thunder.
Zhang Ximeng hit the point again.
The uprising of the Red Scarf Army at the end of the Yuan Dynasty naturally had three thousand tigers reaching the land of Youyan, expelling the barbarians and restoring China... But since it was a peasant uprising, it naturally included opposing the aristocratic landlords and demanding an equalization of wealth and poverty.
The principle of land to the tiller is included.
And in some cases, the latter is far more important than the former!
As the prefect of the Yuan Dynasty, Bai Jing'en's status and worth were much higher than that of Li Shanchang. Li Shanchang had to go through hard work before he cooperated with Zhu Yuanzhang wholeheartedly. Bai Jing'en did not recognize Zhu Yuanzhang so easily, and even simply said that the two of them were incompatible with each other.
Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang may also win back Bai Jingen's heart.
That is to be like Song Jiang, who bows to him at every turn. He is a high-ranking official and pays homage as an ancestor, guaranteeing prosperity and wealth... and maybe even getting Bai Jing'en's allegiance.
However, he may not be sincere, and will probably point fingers and look condescending.
Zhu Yuanzhang pondered over and over again, thinking over and over again, and suddenly felt a sudden enlightenment. He understood!
The resentment he had been filled with just now actually disappeared a lot. He was no longer angry. He just felt that Bai Jing'en was despicable and a complete villain.
Historically, after Lao Zhu conquered the world, he was in desperate need of civil servants, so he recruited people everywhere... There happened to be a man named Xia Boqi, whose uncle and nephew were both well-known, and Lao Zhu eagerly invited them to serve as officials. As a result, this pair
The uncle and nephew discussed it and simply cut off the thumb.
Look, we are all disabled, we can't do anything, so we don't need to be drafted.
Faced with this situation, Lao Zhu was furious and became more violent. He brought his uncle and nephew to the capital. A famous scene occurred: Lao Zhu asked Xia Boqi, "The world is in turmoil. Where are your uncle and nephew?"
If you take your father with you to escape, will you support him?
Now that the world is at peace, you are teaching peacefully in your hometown, feeling safe and comfortable. Do you understand what it means to be a reborn parent?
Lao Zhu's meaning is very clear. You uncles and nephews are like duckweeds in the war, helpless and miserable. It is I who unified the world and gave the people health, and you are able to survive until today.
As a king and father, I have the kindness to regenerate you. I allow you to become an official because I think highly of you.
But you are unwilling to repay your father. You would rather chop off your fingers than become my official.
Okay, if you don't want to be an official and don't want to repay your kindness, then don't live in the world.
Lao Zhu was so angry that he beheaded all the Xia family's uncles and nephews, and ransacked their homes.
This incident was a huge blow to Lao Zhu... He wrote it into the "Great Edict" and once asked the officials that in the years of chaos, if there were knights who helped, the people would be grateful and never forget it. I beat him away.
The Yuan Dynasty ruled the world, so how could there be so many people who didn't know how to be grateful?
Has your conscience been eaten by dogs?
At that time, Lao Zhu was still a little confused and could not figure out the root cause, but it did not prevent him from hating officials more and more. When he encountered corrupt officials, he would show no mercy. He would not only kill them, but also peel them off to warn the world.
In fact, as a latecomer, Lao Zhu's confusion can be easily explained.
In the process of destroying the Yuan Dynasty and reviving the Ming Dynasty, although Lao Zhu made great contributions to the world, there were some dirty things attached to Yuan Ting that were unwilling to acknowledge Lao Zhu.
This is not just because Lao Zhu came from a humble background, but also because most of the policies he pursues are in favor of the common people.
And those high-ranking scholars compared it, and it seemed that their life was still worse than that of the Yuan Dynasty.
The salary is low, the days of rest are few, there is no corruption, no bullying of the people, and every time you make a mistake you will lose your head... How can this be tolerated?
They completely forgot that in the Yuan Dynasty, they were just lowly fourth-class people and the lackeys of the Yuan court.
Humans are such strange animals... Aren't there also some people in later generations who are not clear-headed who recall the ten-mile foreign farm and dream of becoming concubines?
I think that era was the most beautiful!
She imagined that a handsome warlord, wearing a neat woolen coat, would come to greet her in an imported car.
The person who has this dream should really understand what the ancient city wife murder case is and see how humble a woman lives!
"We understand, those who are not well-raised are still those who are not well-raised!" Lao Zhu gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Take Bai Jing'en down and punish him! From now on, anyone who is willing to follow Yuan Ting, we will
Let him fulfill everything!"
Some soldiers dragged Bai Jing'en down. At this moment, Bai Jing'en finally became panicked. He had not harmed the people or killed anyone... Aren't you particular about evidence? Why would you kill him without real evidence?
Unjustly accused!
Zhang Ximeng sneered. Those who still care about the Yuan Dynasty should be buried with the Yuan Dynasty... Without them, the country will still be governed, or even better!
As for the talent gap... Now that I have entered the city, the matter of setting up a school should be put on the agenda.
