Chapter 414 A nest of snakes and rats

Zhu Cilang was in a good mood and gently stroked his son's face and said with a smile: "I hope Yuan'er can become a promising king in the future."

Tong Tang said in a harmonious voice: "Yuan'er will definitely be as outstanding as His Majesty."

Zhu Cilang coughed and said, "Yuan'er is still young now. When he becomes sensible, I will teach him personally. My son must not be poisoned by the corrupt scholars."

Zhu Cilang hated Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism.

The so-called preservation of the laws of nature and the ethics of human desires is simply contrary to human ethics and human nature.

But since the Song Dynasty, all the unified dynasties basically followed Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism.

At this time, Confucianism was no longer the change of Confucianism, Confucius and Mencius, and had completely become a tool for scholars and officials to gain profits.

But Huang Ming also followed this kind of Confucianism.

Zhu Cixuan always wanted to use the sword against Confucianism, but he never found a suitable opportunity. If he used too much or was too hasty, it would be easy to have problems.

It would be fine if there were peace and the times were now in a chaotic world and the country's fortunes were not stable. At this time, we should seek stability. Confucianism will move sooner or later, but it cannot be the present. Otherwise, if these corrupt scholars arose and resist, it would be difficult for Zhu Cilang, the emperor, to control it.

Now the external environment of the Ming Dynasty has just improved, so there must be no internal problems.

But even so, Zhu Cilang would not give in on the issue of the prince's education.

He can only teach his son himself.

In fact, if Zhu Cilang had not traveled through time at the beginning, Chongzhen's prince was still himself, even if the Emperor Ming in this time and space would have split the internal struggle like in history.

A person's judgment and decisiveness are directly related to the education he receives.

A person who is poisoned by the ideas of corrupt scholars will be afraid and difficult to make changes even if he wants to make changes. Huang Ming has raised some monsters and monsters for nearly three hundred years?

It is no different to expecting these people to assist the emperor in becoming the Holy Emperor.

Zhu Cilang knew very well that Huang Ming could not rely on him alone if he wanted to revive.

This is not even possible for two generations, but at least three generations.

Then his heir must not be a mediocre person. Even if he cannot achieve his achievements, he should be at least 80% similar.

Therefore, Zhu Cilang had to personally intervene in Zhu Heyuan's education and let Zhu Heyuan develop in the right direction.

Tongtang's eyes lit up and said, "I will thank Your Majesty."

Zhu Cilang laughed and said, "It's all a family, I'll thank you or not. If you have anything you want in the future, just tell me, don't matter if it's from heaven and earth, as long as I have me, I'll get it for you."

"Your Majesty is so nice to me. I just hope to be with you for a long time and be able to watch Yuan'er grow up."

"This idea is real. I still have some official duties to deal with, so I will go back to the bedroom first. I will come to see you and Yuan'er when I have time."

"I respectfully send you to Your Majesty."

Tong Tang bowed to Zhu Cilang for blessing and said softly

However, after Zhu Cilang returned to Qianqing Palace, he went straight to the warm room to review the memorials.

The memorials sent to the cabinet every day by the Tongzheng Department can be piled up into small hills. Even if the most important ones are selected by the cabinet, there are still quite a number of them.

Zhu Cilang is already a diligent emperor, but it will take until the middle of the night to review these memorials.

Those who thought that they could sleep in a quiet voice and play with women by becoming emperors are afraid that they really thought it was wrong.

Zhu Cilang frowned after reading two memorials.

One of them is about the drought in Jiangxi.

Generally speaking, the disaster in the first year of Hongye was much smaller than that in the 17th year of Chongzhen, but the territory of the Ming Dynasty was too large, and there were always some places that inevitably encountered disasters.

Take Jiangxi as an example. In the past, I gave people the impression that it was a land of fish and rice. I didn’t expect that there would be drought this year.

The drought at this time and the drought in later generations are two concepts. At this time, the Ming Dynasty was in the Little Ice Age, and the weather was prominently characterized by coldness.

In addition, the drought is cold and dry. Zhu Cixuan once saw the victims who fled to Nanjing with his own eyes. The victims were swollen and their eyes were red.

They must have endured inhuman torture, and they went to eat people when they were so hungry that they could not bear it.

People who have eaten their eyes will turn red and their bodies will become swollen, which is really terrible.

Of course, Zhu Cixuan did not want such a situation to occur in Jiangxi, so he wrote a letter to Zhu, asking Yuan Jixian, who was the governor of Jiangxi's military affairs, to immediately open a warehouse to provide relief to the victims.

Jiangxi has always been in a safe rear, so it has not been plagued by war.

Nowadays, there is no problem with taking out some food to help the victims.

Zhu Cilang is still very confident in Yuan Jixian's personal character. He believes that Yuan Jixian will not be able to do such greedy behavior in this process. As long as the government provides honest relief, even if the famine comes, it can be passed through.

What's scary is that the government is still thinking about making money in the famine, so it's really afraid of causing a big disaster.

Fortunately, the drought only broke out in Jiangxi, and there were no reports in Nanzhili and Zhejiang. Even if Jiangxi was in urgent need of grain storage, Zhu Cilang could completely avoid the transfer.

After reviewing this memorial, Zhu Cixuan put it aside and was about to take another one to see it, but Han Zanzhou suddenly asked for a meeting.

Zhu Cilang announced his visit. Han Zan, who entered the warm room Monday, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, it was found out that the person who colluded with King Gui was Guangxi Governor Qu Shisi, Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Ding Kuichu, and there are also,"

Zhu Cixuan said with a stern face: "What else?"

"There are also Fujian General, Nan'an Hou Zheng Zhilong"

Zhu Cilang was not surprised when he heard Zheng Zhilong's name, but instead had a thought that was indeed the case.

After thinking about it, he thought that only Zheng Zhilong might collude with King Gui.

One of the two is a clan relative and vassal king, with quite ambitions, and the other is a warlord in a town and is in love with Man Qing.

Now that Zheng Zhilong has been blocked by Zhu Cilang, he can only go to Guangdong and Guangxi to buy grain, it is not surprising that he and King Gui are together.

But Zhu Cilang was a little strange that Qu Shixi was also among the cliques who supported King Gui.

In the original history, Qu Shixi really strongly supported Zhu Youlang against Emperor Longwu, but that was when Prince Chongzhen disappeared.

Now that Zhu Ciying has inherited the throne, Qu Shixi is doing what he is trying to do?

Did he really want to be so greedy for the merits of support?

As for Ding Kuichu and Zhu Cilang, it was not surprising at all.

This man is a typical warlord, and he doesn't care about anything except his own interests.

As long as Zhu Youlang can provide him with benefits, it is normal for him to surrender.
