Chapter 160 The real public opinion cannot be heard
The next day.
Zhu Youxiao, who had finished his business with the queen, glanced at the queen beside him: "Don't sleep anymore, you should go back to your Kunning Palace."
The queen still closed her eyes tightly, her cherry lips slightly pouted, and she ignored Zhu Youxiao.
Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao gave the queen a blank look and wanted to reach out and push her.
But Zhu Youxiao finally took his hands back.
Then, Zhu Youxiao got out of bed and asked someone to serve him and wash himself and then started exercising.
After the exercise, as soon as Zhu Youxiao returned to the Xihun Pavilion, he saw the queen still sleeping soundly. He couldn't help but shake his head: "After all, he is a fifteen-year-old girl, carefree. He didn't know that the country and the family would be destroyed in twenty-four years, so he slept so deeply."
Zhu Youxiao said that, then walked over and patted Zhang Yan on the face: "Hey, it's time to wake up!"
Queen Zhang Yan turned over, her jade-colored chest was squeezed out of a groove, but her eyes were still closed.
Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't lift her quilt, so he had to shout loudly: "Empress Zhang!"
When Zhu Youxiao shouted, Zhang Yan's long closed eyelashes suddenly parted, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she hurriedly shrank: "Your Majesty, are you awake?"
"You should go back to Kunning Palace."
Zhu Youxiao said lightly, then shouted to the outside world: "That the queen who served him promised to come in!"
"yes!"
Wang Chengen replied.
Not long after, the four people agreed and walked in with toiletries. After seeing Zhu Youxiao, they began to dress Zhang Yan and dress up.
Zhu Youxiao raised his foot and walked towards the inner study room, but after walking a few steps, he retreated, sat on the chair next to Zhang Yan, and said, "Now there are many more concubines and maids in the harem, and you are the lord of the six palaces, do you know how to manage it?"
Zhang Yan glanced at Zhu Youxiao in a daze, then shook her head, her big watery eyes seemed to be full of curiosity and doubt.
Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said, "You just need to remember that except me, in this harem, no one can let you do anything, and no one can teach you. Even if someone asks you to see her, you cannot lower your status to see her. If anyone wants to see you, he must first let him apply to your agreement."
"Well, I will remember your Majesty's instructions."
Zhang Yan replied.
Zhu Youxiao came to the Political Affairs Hall in the snow.
"His Majesty!"
Fang Congzhe stood up as soon as he saw Zhu Youxiao.
Zhu Youxiao said "hmm", then sat on the chair and looked outside the house.
At this time, Zhang Yan had just come out of the Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Youxiao also saw Zhang Yan wearing a cloak and walking towards Kunning Palace on the snow. The person beside him agreed to hold an umbrella to cover her with a snow.
But the umbrella cannot block the wind, so Zhang Yan's face flushed.
"If Your Majesty thinks that it is easy to freeze when the Empress returns to Kunning Palace in such a cold weather, you can let the internal officials spread the word and let the Empress stay in Qianqing Palace. This is a case in Xiao Temple. At that time, Empress Zhang lived in Xinuan Pavilion and accompanied the Emperor of Xiao Temple, but had never returned to Kunning Palace for a day."
Fang Congzhe started talking aside.
Zhu Youxiao smiled: "I am not worried that she will be cold. I just think that she looks good in the snow in red clothes. Besides, it's better to be so cold, otherwise it will be too weak and will be detrimental to the future birth of the royal heir."
Zhu Youxiao said, "Let's discuss the main business, how much has the work of Qingzhangtianmu in Nanzhili completed?"
Fang Congzhe hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, according to the report of Feng Quan, the Governor of Southeast, it has been completed to 70%. It is expected that the Qingzhang land affairs in the entire Nanzhili will be completed by the spring next year."
Zhu Youxiao asked Wei Zhongxian again: "What is the situation of the gentry in Nanzhili now? Do they continue to do extraordinary behavior because of the matter of clearing the land of Zhangzhang?"
"Return to the emperor, the gentry in Nanzhili is now forming a large number of associations, writing anonymous posts, and criticizing the government. The most direct thing is to curse Feng Quan as a treacherous minister and advocate that the world will be in chaos. Moreover, Yan Yuanfu abused power and scrambled for riots, causing the people to live in poverty. He even said that you are extremely debauchery and have been deceived by the beauty who was secretly sent to the palace by Yuanfu. He even said that your health is getting worse and worse, and there are more and more voices. I don't know where it came from, but it is obvious that they spread rumors like this because they were dissatisfied with the court."
Wei Zhongxian said that and glanced at Zhu Youxiao. He didn't know if his emperor would get angry because of this. Anyway, he felt very angry.
Zhu Youxiao was not angry, but laughed: "I really know how to make up! It seems that the control of public opinion in Nanzhili must be strengthened. It is not enough to rely on Ruan Dacheng and the Chongwen Temple people alone. More people must be transferred. Private associations must be prohibited. To form associations must be subject to my permission, and scholars must be prohibited from discussing politics. Once students find out that they are discussing politics and engraving books privately, they will directly eliminate their fame and reputation! In serious cases, they will be executed and executed!"
Fang Congzhe nodded after hearing this: "What Your Majesty said is that in the early years of Wanli, Zhang Wenzheng reformed and eliminated evil deeds, so he banned Tianxia Academy from giving lectures. This was not a ban on lectures. In fact, it was a ban on scholars from all over the world from discussing the government by giving lectures, and instigating uninformed scholars and people to block the new policy of the court! Because the so-called scholars in the world now talk about current affairs, and even formed associations and cliques through teaching, and even invited local officials to give lectures, these officials no longer knew that there was a court but only knew that there was a scholar."
"That's right, some people say that this will make the world silence, make the world's speech more irrelevant, and that the public opinion cannot be heard. However, the scholars in the world cannot represent all the people of our Ming Dynasty and cannot represent the public opinion."
Zhu Youxiao said again: "Most of my Ming people are illiterate, and don't know how to discuss current affairs, or even express their own opinions. Therefore, many times, most of the public opinion we hear is just the intention of the gentry represented by scholars. For example, now, I just killed a stunning beauty to maintain discipline a few days ago, but some people say that I am extremely debauchery, and the examination of the law and the clearance of the land of the Zhangzhang mu has just begun. You Fang Congzhe has been said to be a tyrant who is tying the king to disrupt the government. Therefore, since you can't hear everyone's voices and the real public opinion, it's better to shut up everyone first! To avoid listening to some people's words, and to make many people who don't know the inside story mistakenly think that the new policy is in trouble with the country!"
Fang Congzhe had to admit that his emperor was indeed extraordinary and did not really mistakenly think that the public opinion of the world came from the literati of the world.
But Fang Congzhe was also a little puzzled by how his own emperor got such an opinion, and he couldn't help but secretly said: "What did Xu Guangqi and Sun Chengzong, who were lecturers in the imperial examinations, teach His Majesty? Could it be that he taught the real emperor's art?"
"Print an order! Fang Shihong, the young minister of Chongwen Temple, personally took the Chongwen Temple's owners to Nanzhili to inspect the civil affairs. Dongchang also sent reliable people to Nanzhili to investigate the case. Whoever secretly formed an association would be arrested, whoever taught without the permission of the government, and whoever built a private academy would be arrested!"
Zhu Youxiao started talking at this time.
"yes!"
