Zhu Ying's voice was so emotional that it was deafening.
The ministers did not say anything, but Zhu Yuanzhang's inner emotions had been aroused.
In fact, no matter which literati they are, when they read the humiliating history of the former Song Dynasty, their hearts are filled with panic, and Zhu Yuanzhang is no exception.
Patriotism, especially the maintenance of Han identity, is engraved in the bones of most Han people. Even if he is a beggar, a shepherd boy, or a monk, he cannot avoid it.
It’s just that too many people are powerless or finally succumb to reality.
Zhu Yuanzhang hated foreigners, especially those from the Qian Yuan Dynasty.
This seems a little different from the historical records, but this is the case with the real Zhu Yuanzhang.
In the minds of many people, the Yuan Dynasty was probably Sinicized by Han culture, so it was the orthodox dynasty recognized by the Central Plains Dynasty.
However, this idea is an illusion created by the old man who is over sixty years old and is sitting on the dragon throne.
However, not many people know that all Zhu Yuanzhang did was just to recreate China.
Many books related to the Yuan Dynasty were destroyed.
This has led many literati to believe that the Yuan Dynasty was sinicized. This is what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to achieve.
In fact, the Yuan Dynasty was not Sinicized by the Han people. Under the national policy designated by Kublai Khan, the Han people were classified as inferior people. For the entire Han people, Kublai Khan implemented Mongolian education.
The so-called Mongolianization means to translate all Han books into Mongolian. Whether it is edicts, documents, or communications, Mongolian and Mongolian characters must be used instead of Chinese and Chinese characters.
Kublai Khan wanted to use Mongolian culture to completely subvert the Han culture.
After Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, the first thing he quickly did was to destroy all books related to Mongolia and rebuild the institutions and customs of Han culture.
You must know that at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, many Han people in the north felt that they were no longer Han people.
In other words, it has been greatly affected by the rule of the Hu people.
Recognizing the orthodox rule of the Yuan Dynasty was also a last resort based on this condition.
Writing the history of the previous dynasty is something that every dynasty will do when it is first established.
However, when writing about the history of the Yuan Dynasty, because the court books on the Yuan Dynasty were all in Mongolian, and Zhu Yuanzhang was in the midst of a peasant uprising, I could speak a lot, but not write much.
This also led to many problems in translation.
Even in the translation of historical records of the Yuan Dynasty, it was said that so-and-so was a rebel in such-and-such a place, and the leader of the rebels was so-and-so.
However, it was not until after the Ming Dynasty that later generations discovered that the official rebel leader was actually Zhu Yuanzhang himself.
Is it okay to write myself as the rebel leader?
Because these jokes were all hidden in the Hanlin Academy, it was thought that no literati cared about Mongolian culture and would not study it. It was more about inheriting the Song Dynasty, or the previous Hanization, so this matter was hidden like this.
In the future, if someone uncovers it, it will naturally become Zhu Yuanzhang's joke material.
But does Zhu Yuanzhang care?
He doesn't care.
As a person who recreated China, he had great merits for the entire Han people. For the inheritance of Han culture, in the early Ming Dynasty, it was like starting from scratch again.
The complicated etiquette system is because in the Ming Dynasty, although there are many Han people, there are also many other ethnic groups. Only mandatory regulations can truly integrate all ethnic groups into the culture of the Han people.
This is civilization.
Zhu Yuanzhang may not have so much awareness, but his actions were carried out appropriately.
How could Zhu Yuanzhang let go of those who dared to subvert Han culture?
At this moment, under Da Sun's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes became sharp.
As a person who grew up in Yuan education, Liu Sanwu served as an official in the Yuan Dynasty. If there was something wrong with his thinking, it would naturally be a big problem.
If there are some clues or personal tendencies hidden in books, it is difficult to find them.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang thought of executing Liu Sanwu for the first time, even though this was very likely, he would be reviled by the world's literati.
And what about Liu Sanwu?
What did he think when he was scolded by Zhu Ying like this?
As Liu Sanwu listened, his body began to tremble violently, out of fear, anger, and even panic.
After His Highness Taisun's severe reprimand, his eyes almost turned black and he almost fell to the ground.
But Liu Sanwu gritted his teeth and pushed through forcefully.
It's not okay. If he faints like this, the name of this sinner will be ruined.
Why did Liu Sanwu dare to speak like this openly in the Fengtian Palace, with the military officers and nobles looking at him eagerly?
It is his identity as a leader of scholars.
If His Highness Taisun's words were to be concluded, not to mention all cultures, a large part of the literati would curse Liu Sanwu and call him a lackey of a foreign nation.
All clear names will be destroyed in one day.
How could Liu Sanwu accept this?
At this moment, Liu Sanwu quickly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, I definitely don't have this idea. I am loyal to the Ming Dynasty."
"I definitely did not mean to belittle generals, but it was not just the Song Dynasty, but also the Han and Tang Dynasties."
Liu Sanwu didn't dare to say too much, as he understood the truth that saying too much would lead to mistakes.
In two simple sentences, one expresses one's loyalty, and the other points out from the side that His Highness Taisun's conclusion is biased. Emphasizing literature over military affairs is not unique to the Song Dynasty, it has been the case in all dynasties.
Hearing this, the military attache was unhappy, but had nothing to say.
The civil servants all breathed a sigh of relief.
The murderous look in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes also began to dissipate.
Zhu Ying was fine, he didn't intend to kill Liu Sanwu, he just used these words to severely weaken Liu Sanwu's momentum.
For example, now, Liu Sanwu obviously no longer dares to say more.
"Of course I believe in Liu Hanlin, but I would like to ask Liu Hanlin never to say this again. Civil servants are important, but so are military generals."
"In this great future, no one, either civilized or military, is indispensable, and no one is nobler than the other."
"It is a credit to the literati to govern a place and win the love of the people and have enough food and clothing. However, corruption and bribery, which bring trouble to the people, also undermine the foundation of the Ming Dynasty."
"It is also a great crime for a warrior to protect his family and country, resist foreign invasion and sacrifice his life. It is also a great crime to disrespect orders, poison the people, and fight like goads."
At this point, Zhu Ying paused slightly and her tone began to soften.
After all, the current situation has almost achieved the effect Zhu Ying wanted.
"In Liu Hanlin's opinion, this military parade may be a waste of a lot of money. On this point, I don't think so."
"First of all, everyone can see that in terms of elite level, the soldiers of the Imperial Guard of the Ming Dynasty are completely different. Even the most ordinary soldiers of the guard are comparable to the previous palace guards."
"As for the far-reaching impact of this military parade, you should see that many foreign ministers were shocked by the might of our Ming army. This has an important impact on the border areas."
"It even involves the lives of countless civilians and soldiers."
"Compared with the money spent on training soldiers, fighting at the border, consumption of food and fodder, and even being plundered, I wonder if Liu Hanlin has ever calculated this amount?"
"Furthermore, the soldiers have become more elite and are invincible. Compared with the continuous defeats, this is so different."
"As the saying goes, raising an army for a thousand days and using it for a while. The price incurred in this moment is not comparable to that of a thousand days. This moment is related to the land of our Ming Dynasty, the rise and fall of the country, and the people of Li."
"I said so, Liu Hanlin understands."
When Liu Sanwu heard this, he knelt down and kowtowed: "I understand now. I am old and confused. I don't understand the profound meaning of His Highness Taisun, and instead speculate on my own arbitrarily."
"I am guilty, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to convict you of the crime."
At this point, Liu Sanwu has completely understood that in terms of words, the seemingly young His Highness the Grand Sun is simply more powerful than imagined.
It can even be described as a lotus flower with a bright tongue. I am afraid that even the eminent monks in the temple can only do so.
Liu Sanwu is also very familiar with the eminent monks in those temples, and they are even inferior to those with such a majestic appearance as His Highness.
Bai Xintuan, Zhang Xin, and all the civil servants behind Liu Sanwu began to be wary of His Highness Taisun at this moment.
His Highness the Grand Sun is really not someone to be trifled with.
Even veteran ministers like Liu Sanwu were silenced by the training and asked to accept their punishment. They still had the ability to argue with His Highness the Grand Sun.
Literary men's principles are the swords in their hands, and they must be reasonable in everything.
If the theory is untenable, then what kind of temper can the literati have?
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at this scene and felt very happy.
It suddenly became clear!
In the past few years, although Zhu Yuanzhang always spoke the truth and acted vigorously and resolutely in court, whenever he had other opinions, Zhu Yuanzhang could not resist them and would only destroy physics.
Although this is refreshing, it is not a long-term solution.
As soon as Xin Zai Da Sun's words came out in the debate, the entire court was silenced. The key point is that there is so much truth in it that no one can find fault with it.
This was the first time Zhu Yuanzhang felt so happy in the court.
"Dasun, please tell me how to punish Liu Hanlin." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile, and his mood was very beautiful.
After Zhu Ying thought for a while, he said: "Grandpa, my grandson recently wants to re-edit the books on the imperial examination and formulate a new set of books, especially for the imperial examination, or related to the imperial examination."
"Liu Hanlin's talents and academic attainments are so high that in the entire Ming Dynasty, there are few who can compare with him. If Liu Hanlin takes the lead in this matter, he will get twice the result with half the effort."
Regarding the reform of the imperial examination, Zhu Ying had already mentioned it to the old man a few months ago.
Today, we have finally started to implement it.
To be honest, Zhu Ying alone would not be able to write this book.
Among them, the output of classical Chinese was a huge problem for Zhu Ying.
Just because you can understand it, doesn't mean you can write it.
What's more, when it comes to branching out subjects, Zhu Ying really can't control much of the current professional knowledge, and if all the scholars are to be convinced, it will take a great scholar like Liu Sanwu to take the lead in order to cause enough waves.
On the other hand, it can also better interrupt the literary monopoly and truly change the channels for serving as an official.
It also makes the positions of officials more professional.
