"Report to Your Majesty, the magistrate of Wuqing County Tao Yunzhi, came to report that the Wang Tai clan and his villagers who were plotting against rebellion and rebellion were all executed."

Xiong Tingbi reported to Zhu Youxiao.

"I understand."

Zhu Youxiao replied while reviewing the memorial, and then said: "You give the Ministry of Personnel the imperial edict and ask them to transfer Tao Yunzhi to the prefectures and counties with more gentry to continue to serve as county magistrates. Wuqing County will select another magistrate to be considered as a chance to give Tao Yunzhi a chance to prove himself. If his experience as an official in Wuqing County cannot help him control local gentry in other prefectures and counties, but lose to the gentry again, it can only mean that he is a mediocre person and transfer him to a free position such as a professor in the prefecture!"

"yes!"

Xiong Tingbi hurriedly replied.

Then, Zhu Youxiao pointed at Xiong Tingbi and pointed at the memorial that was piled up in front of him, saying: "This is the criminal memorial of various provinces sent last month. I have found that it is all kinds of life lawsuits arising from the implementation of the new policy. Among them, there are many local officials such as the assassination of local officials such as the governors and the inspectors. The incidents of evil committed by Tianjin Feng Jinglun, Feng Shengshi and his son and Wuqing Wang Tai were not accidental cases, but several examples of various murders that occurred on a large scale after the implementation of the new policy."

Xiong Tingbi heard Zhu Youxiao say this and said solemnly: "What Your Majesty said is that this is indeed not an isolated case. The world is getting worse and worse, and people's hearts are not as good as ever. Even after reading the book of the saint, most of them use it for personal gain and to enrich themselves. Now the court has to implement the new policy for the long-term stability of the country, dividing the land of the sect, and dividing the stake into the public, which will damage the remaining surplus and make up for the shortcomings. In addition, the industry and commerce are vigorously promoted to support the remaining people. However, this also prevents the tyrants and powerful people from storing slaves and profits, and are even controlled by the court, and are not free. These gentry and powerful people are inevitably dissatisfied with the new policy and do despised or even unforgivable things;

But I believe that in order to avoid the country being destroyed after two or three hundred years of rule, even if the gentry and powerful people are willing to use various inhuman means to use various inhumane means, those who rule in power cannot compromise, otherwise all their efforts will be wasted and the country will still be difficult to protect!”

Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly and said, "I am not thinking of retreating because the local gentry and powerful people fiercely resisted the implementation of the new policy. Instead, I feel that according to the current situation, although I have my beloved ministers to force the new policy, and have even been successfully implemented in many provinces, it will inevitably lead to extreme measures among the local gentry and powerful people who oppose the new policy. It is not a pity for me to die alone. The question is, if I die, will the people die, and even the turmoil in the world will intensify because of the new policy I have introduced?"

Xiong Tingbi originally heard the emperor say that there might be extreme opponents to assassinate the emperor at all costs. He thought that the emperor would feel timid because he was worried that he would be assassinated by extreme people, but he did not expect the emperor to say, "I am not willing to die alone."

This made Xiong Tingbi sigh that his Majesty's will was really firm. He did not choose to retreat like most emperors in the throne. Even if he was determined to strive for governance, he would have great resistance to reform and even threatened his life.

In Xiong Tingbi's view, not everyone can die outside the limits. The more noble and rich a person has, the more difficult it is to do it.

Before this, Xiong Tingbi was quite worried that His Majesty the Emperor would choose to retreat like Jiajing and Wanli at some point, so he took the initiative to say that those who ruled the country could not compromise.

But Xiong Tingbi no longer has this kind of worry and is even more impressed by his own emperor, His Majesty Zhu Youlai.

"It's rare that my emperor's will is so tenacious!"

Xiong Tingbi thought so in his heart.

Then, Xiong Tingbi hurriedly said: "In the opinion of the minister, the new policy that Your Majesty has adopted is to follow the heavens and to serve the people. It is the general trend. If there is any change, it will not be destroyed, nor will the turmoil intensify!"

After hearing Xiong Tingbi say this, Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "Your dear is the one who dared to go to the East Gate to plunder alone back then. His will is indeed tenacious! In my opinion, even if I implement the new policy, the political destruction will be even worse in the future, because it is certain that if I don't do this, the world will only be worse. In that case, if I don't die, I will be the king of the country. If I die, my next term will be the king of the country!

Because the Ming Dynasty has a deep accumulation and is about to perish the country! Perhaps for many people, it is not important to the world or not, the Zhu family is the world. The matter of changing dynasties and generations is everywhere, and officials can still be officials, and those who study scholars can still be academics;

But sometimes, changing dynasties is not as simple as destroying the country, but destroying the world! Destroying our Han family! At that time, everyone in the Han Dynasty will be slaves, and even want to be slaves but cannot!

I have a premonition that if the Ming Dynasty really did not reform, the Han family would be destroyed by the hands of foreign races in the future! Because the land of China has long been uneven, even the scholars and officials in the world who are familiar with the books of sages only know that they have a family but not a country! These people will not have anything to do! The Feng family and Wang family who met on the way back north recently, can be seen!"

"Destroy the country and the world!"

Xiong Tingbi couldn't help but feel enlightened after hearing Zhu Youxiao's remarks.

Zhu Youxiao made this remark based on his understanding of the history of later generations, and believed that if the Ming Dynasty did not change, the Ming Dynasty would inevitably be able to avoid the fate of dying in the second lifetime. It was not only the Ming Empire of the Zhu family, but also the entire Han family. After all, in history, the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, forcing the Han family to be no longer seen in China for nearly three hundred years.

Xiong Tingbi served in Liaodong for a long time and fought against Jiannu for a long time. He knew Jiannu better than almost all the rulers of this era, except for Zhu Youxiao who came from later generations.

Therefore, Xiong Tingbi knew that Jiannu was different from ordinary barbarians, and knew that Nurhaci and his Eight Banners soldiers had a strong organizational level and had their own agricultural basics. As a member of the civil servants and officials, he also knew what most of his civil servants and officials were like. To put it nicely, it was a mess. To put it nicely, it was a mess. To put it nicely, in addition to fighting each other, being good at internal fighting, and not obeying discipline, he would also do things to collude with enemies and sell the country for personal desires.

Therefore, when Zhu Youxiao said that if the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, it might not only destroy the country but the world, and the entire Han family was stolen by the captives, he did not think that what the emperor said was absurd, but that what the emperor said was very likely, and it was even a worry that he had always hidden in his heart.

"Your Majesty said so much! It's a pity that there are very few people who can see this point in today's world. After Sarhu, I realized that the Eastern Barbarians were different from other Barbarians and might be powerful enemies of our Ming Dynasty in the future. If they are treated as ordinary Barbarians, they will only suffer more heavy losses, and the risk of losing all external places. In addition, hundreds of officials in the court have fought, many people have formed cliques and few people have strategized, and internal turmoil will inevitably occur. In this case, it is not ruled out that the Ming Dynasty was stolen by the Eastern Barbarians due to the intensification of internal worries, and even the land of China was stolen."

Xiong Tingbi echoed.

Then, Xiong Tingbi said again: "Fortunately, Your Majesty is wise. Even though the censors flocked to impeach the ministers, Your Majesty still supported the Liaodong strategy of my ministers, so that the Eastern Captains could not enter a sizeable place in Liaodong! And Your Majesty also accumulated the national treasury internally, feeding countless refugees, and preventing internal troubles. Only now can the Ming Dynasty remain so peaceful!"

"So, I have not done anything wrong now. Even if this will lead to someone still daring to get rid of me from the Nine Clans, I still have to do this. This is my only way to save the country and the world. Even if I fail, I will just die at the hands of my own people. It is better than hang myself or die outside the border due to invasion of foreign enemies in the future!"

Zhu Youxiao said, "But you can't be careless. In the opinion of your beloved, what measures will anyone take if he wants to assassinate me?"

When Xiong Tingbi heard Zhu Youxiao's question, he couldn't help but think deeply. He knew that the emperor's worries were justified and no one could guarantee that those gentry and powerful men who had been taken away would not take risks and directly use extreme means of regicides and ruthlessness.
