There is an old saying in Zhongyuan Hall, which is "A lot of words make gold, but accumulation destroys bones."

For example, a story like this was circulated in the Ming Dynasty seventeen years before Jiashen, and even spread to the Qing Dynasty:

It is said that during the Hongwu period, a school captain had an affair with the mistress of his neighbor's house. This woman was so beautiful that even though the officer saw countless people, he still fell under her pomegranate skirt. For the time being, we will call this woman Xiaomei and the school captain Xiaomei.

"Old King".

One day, Xiaomei's husband went out to work. When Lao Wang saw the man walking away, he sneaked into his neighbor's room. Then, Lao Wang and Xiaomei started having a heated session. But just after a few rainy moments, there was a sudden sound on the yard door.

Well, Xiaomei's husband came back. Lao Wang was so anxious that he could only put on his shorts, turned over and got under the bed. Xiaomei tidied up briefly, opened the door and asked: "Mr., why did you come back halfway?"

Xiaomei’s husband is a simple and honest man. Not only did he not doubt Xiaomei, but he even cared more about her: “Honey, you were sleeping when I went out, and I saw your feet exposed. I didn’t pay attention at the time, but I

When I went out and walked to the road, I found it was very cold. I felt that if the cold wind blew into the house, I'm afraid you would catch the cold. I will cover you with a quilt when I come back!"

Xiaomei acted coquettishly and told her husband not to worry, so Xiaomei's husband went out again.

If the story ends here, then it is just a brief account of Mrs. Wu’s secret meeting with a high-ranking official from Ximen, which is nothing serious. The problem is that the story does not end because the person under the bed was suddenly moved.

, thinking about how Xiaomei's husband treated her like this, and Xiaomei actually had an affair with her behind her husband's back. It was really shameless!

Well, Lao Wang felt that Xiaomei's affair with him was an extremely shameless act. When his conscience found out, he simply crawled out from under the bed and killed his lover Xiaomei with a knife. After the killing, he went to work with great arrogance.

It is said that Lao Wang was on duty and had to eat and drink, but Xiaomei was in trouble - the old man who delivered food to Xiaomei's house knocked on the door many times but no one responded. He just pushed the door open and walked in.

Xiaomei was found lying in a pool of blood.

The old man who delivered food to Xiaomei's family was frightened. After thinking twice, he chose to report the crime to the police. However, the old man was very unlucky because the officials in the Ming Dynasty were relatively stupid. Based on the reasoning of "You didn't kill the person, why should you report the crime?"

In principle, the old man who delivered the food was immediately sentenced to death.

If the story ends here, it will most likely be another unjust case. The disgusting person is disgusting enough, but it cannot be considered as bizarre. The problem is that the story does not end here - on the day of the execution, the child was killed.

The beautiful Lao Wang once again appeared swaggering and shouted: I killed my wife, why should I ask someone else to pay for it with my life?

When the supervisor saw that there was something wrong, he quickly reported it to Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang did not hesitate and directly summoned Lao Wang and asked him face to face: "Why did you kill him?"

The school captain Lao Wang said calmly: "This woman is my neighbor. Because of her beauty, we got close to each other. That day, her husband came back before she and I finished our work. I hid under the bed and listened.

After hearing what her husband said, I felt like I was not a human being, but I was even more angry with this woman - her husband was so kind to her, but she cheated on her. I was so sorry for her husband, so I killed Xiaomei, and later I

I heard that the old man selling vegetables was wrongly accused of being a murderer and was going to be beheaded. At that moment, I couldn't bear it anymore. I should bear the responsibility for what I did myself!"

This is more than three thousand Jinshi!

This is really a way to seek death!

After being silent for a long time, Zeng Cheng couldn't help but sigh slightly, and then bowed his hands firmly and said: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask the governor to mobilize the capital camp into the city and kill all the traitors after nightfall!"

They are young, they are passionate, they are cynical, and they cannot stand any injustice.

After thinking about it secretly for a long time, Zeng Cheng tried to persuade him: "Your Majesty, those students are mostly idiots who have lost their minds in reading. I thought that just like the governor said, they would be dismissed from their honors and returned to their hometowns to never use them again."

That’s it, why should we harm His Majesty’s reputation because of them?”

The description of this period of history in "History of the Ming Dynasty" is: "The filial piety child threw his pen on the ground, cried and cursed: "Death means death, and the edict cannot be ignored." Cheng Zu was angry and ordered all cities to be destroyed. The description in "Taizong Records" is as follows

"The traitorous ministers Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, Fang Xiaoru and others came to the palace. After counting their crimes, they were killed in the market."

Emperor Zhu sneered and said, "If you have any new news, you might as well tell me."

However, the "Records of Taizong", which has been modified by Ji Gou, does not mention the fact that Fang Xiaoru was exterminated by the ten tribes. Even the "History of the Ming Dynasty", which is dedicated to smearing the Ming Dynasty, also does not record this matter. Song Duanyi wrote it during the Chenghua period

The books about Jianwen's loyal ministers, such as "Li Zhai Xian Lu" and "Ke Chu Lu", only wrote: "The Yi Qi tribe" but there is no statement about "the destruction of the ten tribes".

As we all know, the group of students is the most magical.

Including the ridicule of later generations that undergraduates are everywhere and junior college students are not as good as dogs. In fact, it is also bullshit among bullshit.

And behind these people, there are thousands of families, which can easily involve tens of thousands of people!

Zeng Cheng felt dizzy when he thought of thousands of scholars and the families behind them.

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he nodded and said: "Killing an unjust person and saving an innocent person is a good thing!" (Original text: It is good to kill an unjust person and give birth to an innocent person.)

Isn’t it bizarre enough?

What about the captain of the guard station having an affair with his neighbor's wife, about the incompetence of the officials who wrongly convicted the case, and about Zhu Yuanzhang not being able to tell right from wrong? Not only did it have the connotation of the romantic novel, but it also gathered various twists and turns, and finally cleared Lao Wang's name.

Similar to this is Fang Xiaoru's incident of killing ten clansmen.

"History of the Ming Dynasty" also records that after Fang Xiaoru and his younger brother Fang Xiaoyou were killed in Nanjing, Fang Xiaoru's wife Zheng and two of his four sons, Fang Zhongxian, Fang Zhongyu hanged himself, and his two daughters also jumped into the river and committed suicide. However, this was not the case.

Zhu Di's "Yi tribe" was his wife and daughter, and his son died after his husband was killed.

It would be easy to say if this ideal is right, but what if the ideal they insist on is wrong?

For example, those sand sculptures holding up white paper and shouting slogans, such as those bastards shouting that the fireworks in the world have begun to recover - perhaps, the fireworks and fireworks are not connected?

Therefore, the passion of scholars is essentially a double-edged sword, which can easily hurt the enemy as well as oneself.

But just as Zeng Cheng finished speaking, a military officer in Jinyi hurried over from outside the hall, whispered a few words to Ke Zhiming and then left quickly.

This is the truth, but the nature of all this changed when they gathered outside the palace and shouted that they wanted to abolish the ancestral system of "only living members are not allowed".

Anyone who knows Zhu Zhishan will understand after reading this. This is another nonsense article to smear Zhu Chongba.

Just when Zeng Cheng had slightly closed his eyes and prepared to face the unknown fate, Liu Heming suddenly laughed, looked at Zeng Cheng and said: "Although Mr. Zeng Ge is the chief minister of the cabinet, your cabinet has no control over my five years."

The Military Governor’s Mansion, therefore, the order to mobilize troops should be given by me, the Commander-in-Chief.”

However, Emperor Zhu sneered, stared at Zeng Cheng and Liu Heming coldly and said, "Do you know what the emperor is?"

First of all, the Yushi Yamen will write a letter to impeach Zeng Cheng for deploying troops without permission and killing soldiers. The Metropolitan Procuratorate also wants to see Zeng Cheng for tea. Once they catch something, Zeng Cheng may be dead.

Zeng Cheng and Liu Heming lowered their heads and looked at each other. They both saw helplessness in each other's eyes - as the saying goes, it's hard for the king of hell to save the damned devil. It's okay for these students to come to force the palace without reading good books, but now they are still here.

Want to go to the Imperial Ancestral Temple and the Confucian Temple to cry at the Temple?

Although it is certain that the Beijing camp will enter the city to arrest and kill people, whether the order was issued directly by Emperor Zhu or proposed by Zeng Cheng, these are two completely different concepts - if Emperor Zhu directly ordered the deployment of troops to arrest and kill people

, then all the blame belongs to Emperor Zhu, and a cruel and murderous reputation in history books cannot escape.

Then, Zhu Laosi asked Fang Xiaoru to write an edict for ascending to the throne.

Even if the Yushitai and the Metropolitan Procuratorate cannot catch Zeng Cheng's little tail, will the relatives of the killed students want to kill Zeng Cheng?

As for when it comes to the life and death of a country and a nation, will those scholars dare not stand up because they have lost their blood...

Emperor Zhu laughed angrily, looked at Zeng Cheng and Liu Heming and said, "Is this what you call stupid people who study? In my opinion, they are not too stupid. At least they know how to go to the Imperial Ancestral Temple to cry at the temple!"

This is not a solution at all. After all, compared with the impact of removing thousands of people at once compared with the impact of killing thousands of Jinshi at once, it is so small that it doesn’t even count!

Don’t forget, there is an old saying in the Central Plains: For every man who slaughters dogs for justice, he will be a scholar for those who are unfaithful.

The difference is huge, and once Zeng Cheng takes the blame, what awaits Zeng Cheng in the future will be overwhelming impeachment and even revenge-style assassination.

What kind of bullshit is this!

Zhu Jinsong felt unhappy, and his face naturally became colder and colder: "They are willing to come, why should I stop them? Don't you want to know what they want to do?"

On the contrary, Qian Qianyi, who was Shuitailiang, was born as a Donglin student, and Wang Zhaoming, who attempted to assassinate the regent Zaifeng, was born as a scholar.

After listening to Ke Zhiming's words, Zeng Cheng knew that the matter was completely over today. No matter whether Emperor Zhu had been persuaded before or had any thoughts about changing his decision, there was no room for relaxation.

.

It is said that when Zhu Laosi saw that he could not avoid his nephew's murderous attack by pretending to be crazy, he simply turned Zhu Yunwen into a rage. After the Yan army entered Nanjing, Zhu Yunwen was missing. Zhu Laosi could only say helplessly, "This is my nephew after all."

My son's empire, and now that he is missing, I, as an uncle, can avoid the difficulty and temporarily become the emperor for him."

However, this does not mean that Emperor Zhu will let these students do whatever they want without restriction.

It’s over!

As a result, this story spread in the Ming Dynasty, but it only spread slowly after the Zhengde period. Before the Zhengde period, no one from the emperor to the common people had heard of this matter in the Ming Dynasty, because it was recorded in

A story from "Qian Wen Ji".

As the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty and a veteran who had been a prefect in the Qing Dynasty, Zeng Cheng could not possibly not know the risks involved - that is to say, when Zeng Cheng proposed this suggestion, he already had it in his heart

Be prepared to die.

Emperor Zhu couldn't help but glance at Zeng Cheng unexpectedly.

However, if Zeng Cheng, the chief and assistant minister of the cabinet, directly proposed it, it would mean that Zeng Cheng took the blame for killing people. Although Emperor Zhu may have a reputation as a man who knows people poorly, at least he will not be blamed for being cruel and murderous.

notoriety.

Ke Zhiming had a gloomy look on his face and bowed to worship: "Your Majesty, those students...the students shouted slogans and wanted His Majesty to come out of the palace to see them. They also said that if Your Majesty doesn't come out,

If you go to the palace to see them, they will go to the Imperial Ancestral Temple and the Confucian Temple to cry at the Temple."

But killing three thousand people is an unprecedented event!

What's more important is that these three thousand Jinshi are only those who have rushed outside the palace, there are many more who have not yet arrived on the road!

Yue Wumu was not a scholar in the traditional sense. He had served as a soldier for half a year before entering Hunan First Normal School.

All they care about is the ideal they agree with.

Real college students are real treasures and are scarce human resources.
