Chapter 2818 2820 [Resolve Heart Disease]

Author: Ji Mobai

Gao Yuming breathed a sigh of relief after learning that Xiang Nan had pardoned Gao Kun and the Gao family's female family members.

It is a rare grace that the Gao family can leave behind a thread of incense.

Therefore, he told all the things he knew.

Xiang Nan then followed the map and found a group of Gao Xiang's remaining relatives.

Later, Gao Xiang, Gao Kun, and the backbone of Gao Xiang's party were punished in public for corruption, corruption and abuse of power, harming the people, and harming the public and benefiting private people.

Moreover, after his death, his head was pickled with lime and sent ten edicts across the country to serve as a warning.

The elimination of Gao Xiang's party effectively shocked the officialdom of the dynasty, making those who were lucky enough to become anxious and restrain their greed.

The collapse of many corrupt officials also won the hearts of the people for Xiang Nan. The people were grateful and praised Xiang Nan as a wise lord, who helped them punish corrupt officials and returned them justice.

As for the money plundered by these corrupt officials, they will be filled into the treasury.

Among them, the money found by the Gao family alone was as much as three million yuan. There were hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land and hundreds of shops, which could be said to be a big rat.

It's no wonder. After all, he has been the prime minister for twenty years, and the so-called Qing magistrate for one year, with 100,000 snowflakes, not to mention that he has let go of his greed.

Gao Ruyi was excited when she learned that her father had his second brother had been beheaded, and the third brother and his family were sent to the frontier. She was so excited that she cried for many days.

He cried and told Xiang Nan that he was really ruthless. He would not have become the crown prince without the support of the Gao family. Now that he ascended the throne and became emperor, he not only did not repay the Gao family, but instead he repayed his kindness with grudges, which was really ruthless and unrighteous.

After Xiang Nan learned about it, he felt disgusted and demoted Gao Ruyi to a commoner and sent him to the cold palace.

He was extremely kind to be able to leave Gao Zhen's life.

Gao Ruyi is not satisfied and does not know how to be grateful, so don’t blame him for being ruthless.

...

After punishing Gao Xiang's party, Xiang Nan issued an imperial edict.

"Gu Ruhui's case is actually superior to the Ming Dynasty's deception of the imperial court, and he was jealous of loyalty and kindness, and now he has finally been cleared. However, the wise ministers have passed away, and I feel guilty. I am forgiven Gu Ruhui's crimes, posthumously granted Duke Zhong, and buried Zhongxiao Mausoleum to comfort Zhongling. The Lord will do it!"

Chai Mu and Gu Jian finally breathed a sigh of relief after receiving this imperial edict.

When Zhang Meiniang learned that Gu Ruhui was rehabilitated, she was worried that Xiang Nan would investigate Gu Shufei.

At that time, her position as the empress dowager and the Zhang family behind her may be liquidated.

Because of this, she was frightened and woke up from nightmares every night and couldn't fall asleep.

After Xiang Nan learned about it, he went to visit him in person.

"I heard that my mother was unwell recently. Has she arranged for the imperial physician to treat her?" he asked.

"Thank you for your concern, the Ai family is fine." Zhang Meiniang's eyes flashed and she did not dare to look at Xiang Nan.

"My mother, the child has really been very kind to the matter of Gao Xiang." Xiang Nan said, "If Gao Ruyi had not been ungrateful and still slandered her behind her back, the son-in-law would not have demoted her to the cold palace.

If you really can’t bear to leave her, I will release her, what if you don’t want to?”

"I'm not for her. She doesn't know how to be grateful and slander Your Majesty privately. This should be the end." Zhang Meiniang waved her hand and said, "She didn't care about Gao Ruyi's life or death."

"Your Majesty, can you say something before Gao Xiang dies?" Zhang Meiniang asked tentatively, "I heard that General Gu's affairs were done by him?"

Xiang Nan nodded, "He confessed in person that he framed General Gu's rebellion and caused the unjust case of the destruction of Gu and Chen's family."

"What else did he say?" Zhang Meiniang asked again.

"It's just nonsense." Xiang Nan curled his lips, "What good things will a dying person have?"

"Yes, yes." Zhang Meiniang nodded repeatedly when she heard this.

"My mother, take good care of your health and tell me what you have." Xiang Nan comforted again, "Without your twenty years of teaching and support, there would be no me now. My son will remember this firmly and will never forget it."

He had never met Gu Shufei and had no impression of her. But he had always had a good relationship with Zhang Meiniang over the years. Moreover, Zhang Meiniang did her best to support him ascend the throne.

As the saying goes, people are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless? Xiang Nan naturally doesn’t want to make things difficult for her.

Seeing him say this, Zhang Mei's wife finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She was worried that Xiang Nan would pursue the cause of his biological mother's death these days, so she was anxious. Now she heard Xiang Nan's meaning and stopped pursuing the incident back then, which made her heart disease suddenly go away.

...

After eliminating the treacherous ministers and stabilizing the court, Xiang Nan then began to implement education reform.

For example, schools are set up in ten townships across the country, and tuition and book fees are free, so that every child can study as much as possible. This is included in the assessment of officials to stimulate the enthusiasm of officials.

For example, in Xizhou, Danchi and Shuobo in the western border; Miaojiang in the southwest, Marai in the north, Bohai in the east, and Goryeo in the east also set up Confucius Institute institutions to recruit local children, scholars, spread saints' teachings, and allow them to come to the court to participate in the imperial examination.

For example, books such as "Basics and Sciences", "Basic Physics", "Legal System", and "Nature" will be published, and in the future imperial examinations, these disciplines will be gradually added to select comprehensive talents, rather than a group of people who only understand.

For example, the implementation of simplified characters, punctuation marks, Chinese pinyin, etc., lowers the threshold for people to learn.

Many traditional characters have a very large number of characters, such as the word "fa". Traditional Chinese characters are written as "fa", with twenty-one strokes. After simplified "fa", there are only eight strokes, which greatly simplifies the difficulty of learning.

For example, in the Imperial Academy, mathematics, physics, chemistry, and legal disciplines were added to the Imperial Academy, so that people could open their eyes to the world, rather than just blinded by Confucianism.

Such educational reforms naturally cost a lot of money. Fortunately, Xiang Nan has seized the property of so many corrupt officials, so he has the money to promote such a big plan.

Otherwise, he would be a good cook without rice.

With the strong promotion of Xiang Nan, more than 10,000 schools were built across the country, which could benefit hundreds of thousands of students. In time, the literacy rate of Fengchao will be greatly improved and the quality of the people will be more guaranteed.

Rulers of all dynasties like to use the "fooling people" policy to prevent the people from thinking, not let the people be rich, not let the people be idle, and let them be busy with production and exhausted to facilitate rule.

But Xiang Nan knew that the more educated the people are, the richer they are, and the more leisurely they are, the easier it is to control them.

Even the boss knows that newcomers who have just joined the job and retired elderly people are the most difficult to manage. Only after many years of employment, middle-aged people with seniors and young people are the easiest to manage.

Because those who have no constant property have no perseverance, and those who have constant property have perseverance.

If the people have nothing, barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes, they will not be willing to be ruled. It is common to be desperate and forced to go to Liangshan.

Therefore, people often rose up in ancient times, but in modern society, this phenomenon has almost disappeared.
