Chapter 74: The ill-fated Qilin
For Yun Zhao, killing is easy, but dealing with a person is difficult.
Killing is just to destroy that guy’s body. Once the body is gone, he will disappear into this world. No matter how guilty the person is for killing, the guilt will be over in a few days. .
It’s different when dealing with a person, because you can still see this person’s existence. As long as you see him, you will feel guilty. This kind of torture will follow you for a long time, reminding you that you have done something wrong all the time. .
So, in order not to cause trouble, many emperors in the past killed people directly without dealing with them, or the kind that killed the whole family in one kill.
These words were said by Qian Duoduo. When she said this, Yun Zhao immediately felt that he was very kind and a good emperor.
"How about the Forbidden City? Are you going to sleep in it?"
"It's not that good. The roof is so high, it's scary how empty it is, and the thick beams are perfect for hanging."

"Why, have you heard the ghost story about the Forbidden City?"
"How can there not be many ghosts in the old house."
"Our house does not have any "
"How do you know?"
"Eh? Have you seen it?"
"My mother's goose has lived for almost thirty years. , and I still can’t tell that he is about to die. Also, the big wild boar you were close to died a few years ago. The goose has lived for thirty years, and the pig has lived for nearly twenty years. , I think they have become sperms long ago.
There is also the old guy Yunfu, who was so sick that he only had a handful of bones left. He was about to die, but he managed to survive. Now, he is a permanent resident. The other businessman in Chang'an City refused to come back. I heard that the old guy fell into the flower bush when he was old, threw away a lot of money, and became the number one boss in the brothel in Chang'an.
Look at his appearance within ten years. I’m afraid I won’t die.”
“Very good.”
Yun Zhao was very proud of these things. , livestock, or poultry can all live long generations, this should be a blessing and auspiciousness.
Yun Zhao will go to see the auspicious Kirin presented to him by Han Xiufen tomorrow!
I heard that the Three Treasures Eunuch also presented this thing to Emperor Zhu Di. I heard that Zhu Di was very happy after seeing it and rewarded the Three Treasures Eunuch severely.
Yun Zhao knew that Zhu Di’s position was unfair, so auspiciousness and other things were very important to him. As for authenticity, it was not important. Therefore, Yun Zhao laughed off Qilin’s statement. .
The person who ordered the secretary to supervise looked through the classics and found the "Ode to the Ruiying Qilin" written by Shen Du, an official of the Hanlin Academy, and the pictures. After reading the pictures and comparing them with the text, Yun Zhao was very sure This thing he used to see in zoos was a giraffe!
After the sea ship arrived in Tianjin, it was then transported by land. Yun Zhao didn’t understand how the people sent by Han Xiufen could show the emperor in these cold winter days.The unicorn they captured.
From the beginning, Yun Zhao did not believe that Han Xiufen would do such a thing. This kind of thing must be the work of Hong Chengchou, but on the basis of the highly overlapping interests of Nanyang and Malacca, Han Xiufen Only Xiufen would have the basic possibility of cooperation with Hong Chengchou.
Interest groups are unacceptable.
The reason why Li Dingguo was deprived of military power was because he formed an interest alliance with Xu Wuxiang and Jin Hu.
Yun Zhao hopes that local officials can cooperate and communicate with each other, but Yun Zhao will never agree to their collusion and alliance of interests.
The reason for dealing with Li Dingguo was that he had opposed Yun Zhao's decision twice and insisted on advancing in Liaodong. As a result, Yun Zhao's plan for people like Li Hongji and Dorgon to develop Liaodong came to nothing.
Trapped these people in Liaodong and cut off their trade with the Central Plains. In order to survive, they can only vigorously produce, at least open up wasteland and cultivate land. No matter where they cultivate, in the end these cannot be destroyed. The fields must all belong to Ming Dynasty.
Instead of like now, wanting to develop Liaodong has completely become a matter for Ming Dynasty.
It is not necessarily true that these people have different intentions. They just want to destroy the Jiannu as soon as possible and complete their supreme achievements. Unexpectedly, Li Dingguo just started to take action, and Li Hongji left Liaodong decisively. Go north.
Dorgon initially thought that he might be able to survive by withdrawing from Liaodong and sticking to North Korea. However, after seeing with his own eyes the strength of the Ming Dynasty that was visible to the naked eye day after day, he decisively left North Korea and gave birth to Yun Zhao left a huge mess behind.
It was the idea of the generals to massacre Jiannu and Li Hongji in a short period of time.
Yunzhao is an emperor. In his heart, the hatred of country and family can no longer control him. He will not directly use the most primitive method to avenge his hatred just because he and Jiannu are mortal enemies, let alone because Li Hongji is a bandit, so he should give up the use value of these people.
Only after these people have no final use value, Yun Zhao will order the army to completely and cleanly eliminate these people.
As long as the advantages of these people's existence outweigh the disadvantages, Yun Zhao will allow them to live. As long as the benefits are sufficient, it is not impossible for him to watch those enemies live until they die of natural old age.
This is the difference between the emperor's mind and the general's mind.
The unicorns were indeed transported, and it was exactly as Yun Zhao thought. There were two large and one small, three giraffes. They were obviously a family. The three giraffes were in the cold winter in the north. The one who survived was worse than a dog. He could only tremble and not even make a sound.
This is how it should be, or in other words, this is how it should be. The giraffe is too tall, so it is impossible to achieve the purpose of heating through its own blood circulation. At least, it does not work. has little effect.
So, when Yun Zhao was watching, the little giraffe, which was clinging tightly to its mother, folded its long neck and fell headlong.He fell to the ground and could not stand up no matter how hard the beast tamer drove him.
Yun Zhao glanced at the livid Xu Wuxiang and said, "You didn't expect it, right?"
Xu Wuxiang gritted his teeth and said, "They should send it in the summer. "
Yun Zhao smiled and said: "You still don't give up, right?"
Xu Wu thought: "I'm going to be transferred anyway, I just want to be in Yanjing again. Do the last thing well."
Yun Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Don't you think about it?"
Xu Wuxiang shook his head and said, "It was already done when I did it. After thinking about it, I don’t think it’s wrong. Since it’s right, just accept the consequences calmly. What should I do if I reflect on it?” Yun Zhao sneered and said, “You really put yourself at risk. He is regarded as an unparalleled talent. Think about who Liu Bang relied on when he was revolting.
Xiao He was the jailer of Peixian County, Fan Kuai was the butcher who killed dogs, and Zhou Bo was the one who held funerals. Among the talented drummers, Lu Wan is a ruffian, Yong Chi is a dandy, and Xia Houying is a groom.
How can a small Pei County really produce so many talents? Unparalleled talents?
Think about it
You will understand the reason for this in the world if you think about the people used by Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty. Very few people achieve things because of their actions. People are the real truth.
Everyone should be more humble. Don't stubbornly think that you are an unparalleled talent and think that you can do anything. This is very shameful.
I feel like I’m not talented enough lately and I need to be cautious in everything. How can you people have the courage to think that what you do is definitely right?”
Xu Wuxiang frowned. Said: "Your Majesty is changeable."
Yun Zhao snorted and said: "If we don't change, within ten years, we will follow Zhu Ming's old path, prospering for a hundred years, and staying peaceful for a hundred years. Then after a hundred years of decline, the people of the Ming Dynasty will finally be sent to the cruelest hell.
Look at the world today. It is changing rapidly. If you can't keep up, you will be enslaved. There is no escape. Maybe.
Okay, I won’t say much about you, just go to Chang’an Prefecture and serve as the prefect.”
Going to Chang’an Prefecture to serve as the prefect is a result that Xu Wuxiang has known for a long time. , Hearing that Yun Zhao finally said it, he sighed slightly.
Chang'an Prefecture is the richest among the thirty-nine prefectures of the Ming Dynasty. However, being the prefect of this place is the least favorite of all Lantian officials.
The main reason is that within the jurisdiction of Chang'an Prefecture, there is Yushan. Being a prefect in this place is the most worry-free and leisurely, or in other words, the least challenging position.
As long as the person who is sent to this position is not for old age, then he must be preparing to enter the center.
Whether it is taking office in Chang'an Mansion or entering the central government, it is a torment for these ambitious people.
In the evening, the little unicorn died after all.By dawn, the two big unicorns were also dead. Yun Zhao had no reaction after hearing the news, and even felt a little happy in his heart.
Hong Chengchou, who has always been slippery, finally showed a small tail. Through the death of Xiangrui, he was justly transferred back from Annan and arranged to serve as a standing representative at the Congress.
Power is not reflected in being able to grant officials to others, but in being able to take back the officials who have been sealed off.
The earth dragon in the palace was very hot. Yun Zhao did not need to wear thick clothes in the study. When Qian Duoduo came back to check the life and death of Xiang Rui, he brought in a large amount of air-conditioning, which was blocked by the screen. In one fell swoop, it quickly filled the room.
"Dead, husband, the three auspicious ones are all dead."
Yun Zhao looked up at Qian Duoduo's excited face and said, "Xiangrui is dead, why are you like this?" "Happy?"
Qian Duoduo said with a smile: "Don't tell me, it's really auspicious. After the child died, the two older ones didn't eat or drink. They stayed by the little Xiangrui's side and used their bodies to protect him. Xue Hua is dead, standing upright.
It looks sad." Yun Zhao frowned and said, "I don't see where you feel sad."
Qian Duoduo smiled and said: "This shows that I have achieved enlightenment."
"Oh, my wife still has such ability, why not, I will build a building in Yanjing." How about you join the temple and be the presiding officer? Anyway, I heard that people who are enlightened can usually become Buddhas.
Our family is short of a Buddha, why don’t you come? ” p>
Qian Duoduo jumped up and threw himself into Yun Zhao's arms, looking at him charmingly and saying: "Are you willing for me to become a nun?"
Yun Zhao sniffed and said: "Being a nun's queen "There are too many."
Qian Duoduo sighed and said: "I am really happy for the three of Qilin's family. Now that they have died, they can still be buried together. If they die one by one, what will happen later?" How lonely it must be to die.
Just like husband, Feng Ying, and concubine, it is best to die together, not one by one. ”
