In the hot summer, the days are long and the nights are short, and the streets of Jinling City are baking under the scorching sun. Liu Kongzhao, the admiral in charge of public safety in Nanjing, was pulling trucks of grain or other daily necessities back and forth to major shops and houses in Jinling City. Whenever he arrived at a family, he had to ask what losses he had suffered during the parade, whether he was injured or died due to it.

According to the instructions of the Emperor Zhu Youxiao, the scholars and officials in this parade were severely punished, with family property and relatives and friends imprisoned. However, for ordinary people, if they are robbed or beaten and injured during the parade, they will be given a pension. Even if they are blinded and even run into court officials and soldiers, they will be forgiven for their crimes, and even their families who are injured and killed can be condolent.

After all, he had already performed bloody enough when suppressing the parade. If it was worse, Zhu Youxiao was not sure whether the court could really occupy the hearts of the people in Jiangnan.

On the one hand, Zhu Youxiao published a long editorial about forgiveness of the people, the responsibility lies with corrupt officials and ulterior motives intent on hijacking the common people to mess up the world. On the other hand, he ordered the Governor Yingtian to post forgiveness notices and pension plans everywhere, and directly pointed out that the pension was issued by the Royal Weaving Bureau and the Royal Industrial Company, which they repeatedly proposed to ban, and cash was withdrawn from the Royal Bank.

It is to let the people realize that the Royal Weaver House and the Royal Industrial Company, which were explained by the literati and the officials to be powerful tools for scrapping the people, are not frightening animals, but are truly beneficial to the people and are beneficial to the people.

As soon as the notice was released, public opinion was in an uproar, and all the royalists cried bitterly, sighing at His Majesty's mind today. When Liu Kongzhao and others, who were responsible for the specific release, delivered the money and food to the people of each household, many people also burst into tears.

In the past, they would be destroyed when they fought against the court like this, but now His Majesty has forgiven them, which shows that the emperor still loves the people and the Ming Dynasty did not abandon them.

"Since Your Majesty can forgive the crimes of the common people, should you forgive the crimes of the Confucian scholars? Wang Siren, Chen Jiru and others are famous scholars in Jiangnan and have always been elegant in style. This parade was just bewitched by others, and the things they did were just Dong Qichang. There was no crime of lying to the emperor. I also asked the emperor to be generous!"

But there are always people who say something irrelevant inappropriate. In the court, Wang Zhengzhi, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue of Nanjing, made such advice to Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao immediately stood up and shouted: "Rareless! It's not your turn to be the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue to talk too much! The person comes, pull this person down and chop it down!"

All the ministers were shocked. Unexpectedly, His Majesty suddenly became so furious and was about to kill Wang Zhengzhi, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Wang Zhengzhi himself looked at His Majesty in confusion and murmured: "Your Majesty, I am just thinking."

"I just think what I think, whether I am the emperor or you are the emperor, I didn't ask you how to deal with the famous scholars such as Wang Siren and Jiangnan. What kind of other people's business are you, an official from the Ministry of Revenue. Don't say anything more, just drag it on!"

Zhu Youzhai recruited and waved, and the two Jinyiwei people dragged Wang Zhengzhi, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue in Nanjing, for the next issue. Wang Zhengzhi himself also shouted that he was wronged. Isn't it normal for him to advise the emperor? Why did Your Majesty suddenly become so angry?

Li Mingrui couldn't help but smile secretly, and Wang Yongguang, the Minister of War in Nanjing, did not stand up to plead for mercy. As familiar with the rules of the court, they naturally understood that the reason why Your Majesty treated scholars and common people differently in this parade was that His Majesty is now in order to tighten the power of the monarch and suppress the civil servants, but at the same time he wanted to show kindness to the people so that the people in Jiangnan would not vent their anger on the Ming Dynasty because of the ruthless suppression of the parade in the court, and even raised the banner of rising up.

Some civil servants still fix their thinking in their previous habits, thinking that as long as they do not insult the king and father, they can force the king and father to act according to their will.

However, with the suppression of officials and gentry at all levels and the execution of Wang Zhengzhi in the court, officials began to realize that they could no longer confront His Majesty, and the only thing they could do was to do things obediently.

"Your Majesty, Wang Siren and others have a high regard for themselves. They think that their virtues can criticize current problems and guide the country. Even in their eyes, you have no more ambitions than their hearts. The arrogance can be seen;

But in my opinion, it would be a pity if I killed them together. Not to mention that they had a great influence in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang area, their disciples and former officials also did one or two good deeds that benefited the villagers. They only said that they were all well-educated people and had consumed countless money from the Ming Dynasty since their studies. Only after having this knowledge, it would be a pity if they were not allowed to sell their goods to the imperial family;

According to my ministers, it is better to let them feedback to the people, exiled for three thousand miles, and go to barbarians to carry out education. The newly established marquis King Wencheng was able to quell the rebellion of King Ning, which was related to his exile to Longyang. It was also because of his trap in Longyang that the local child began to become polite and studious, and he was devoted to the king!"

He also pleaded for the famous Jiangnan scholars of Wang Siren, but Li Mingrui's method was much better than Wang Zhengzhi. It was not only because Li Mingrui was close to Zhu Youxiao, but also because Li Ge Lao always made a point of being on the Emperor and the Ming side.

Seeing Zhu Youxiao nodding, showing praise on his face, the ministers who were not stupid naturally understood how to get along with His Majesty the current emperor, and knew what kind of ministers the current emperor liked.

"Li Qing is right. After all, these people are not very evil, they are not considered traitors. They are like the Donglin Party who attempt to control the government and have bad intentions. However, these people are also stubborn and extremely pedantic. They only see his literary and military battles!

Little do they know where to abandon the king in this way! It would be a pity to kill them all. I am not the kind of person who insists on killing them all. My Ming Dynasty is not a barbarian country that is not eaten by grains. Since they are really concerned about the Ming Dynasty and want to relieve the worries of the king and father, I will also help them and let them go to Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Guangdong and Guangxi!

After staying in the study for a long time, these people naturally only know how to govern the country in the Four Books and Five Classics, but do not know that the way to govern the country is among the people, including the firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, and how many people can be educated, have a great mind, be loyal to the emperor and love the people! Let them go to remote areas to transform them!"

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao issued an order to establish a Confucian scholars' transformation group in the countryside, and Li Mingrui was directly the team leader, who was fully responsible for exiling criminal officials, sons, students, Tong Sheng and others in the Jiangnan region to Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Qin and Jin, Liaodong and other places for reform.

Li Mingrui had strong administrative skills. Within three days, the group members included the doctor of the Ministry of Rites and the doctor of the Ministry of Personnel from the two capitals, as well as the senators and deputy envoys transferred from the west and north, and within five days, it was determined that the Confucian scholars should be temporarily sent to serve as prefecture school teachers or county school teachers.
