Emperor Yingshi, who was sitting on the dragon throne, just glanced at it casually, but this also made the civil and military officials of the court feel a lot of pressure.

Although the one sitting on the dragon throne has a young face, he does not seem to be as domineering as Emperor Hongwu. But I don’t know since when, the emperor who is still relatively young and has a somewhat delicate appearance has made people feel more and more

Out of breath.

After all, he is the bloodline of Emperor Hongwu, and he is worthy of being the successor carefully cultivated by Emperor Hongwu. Even though he is less than 30 years old, his skill in handling affairs is so sophisticated, and his deep-rooted meanness and domineering nature cannot be concealed at all.

Emperor Yingshi's outburst of anger in the court yesterday left people with lingering fears, so it was obvious that the atmosphere in Fengtian Palace was relatively depressed. At this time, civil and military officials were generally more cautious and definitely did not want to become the fuse of a conflict.

Xu Huizu left the mission at this time and said, "Your Majesty, Duke Ying reported three days ago that the army has arrived in Qingzhou."

Zhu Yunyong nodded slightly and said, "According to the speed of the development of the army, the army will return to Yingtian Mansion in the near future. The departments of the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of War will draw up the regulations, and do everything to welcome the king's division and reward the merits according to the regulations.

"

No one was surprised by this incident. In fact, they had been prepared before, but now the army was about to return in triumph. Naturally, this meant that they needed to be prepared to officially welcome the King.

Looking at Xu Huizu, Zhu Yunyong asked, "Has the prince received the report?"

Li Jinglong stood up and replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, His Royal Highness had previously ordered his ministers to destroy the country and welcome the King's Master with the ceremony of opening the border."

Zhu Yunyong showed a faint smile. He had also said before that the military merits of the Ming Dynasty had a military merit system and a battle merit system. In fact, the battle merit system is now the main one, not the enemy's head.

Therefore, Fu Youde and others naturally have the merits of opening up territories and conquering enemies.

"The prince has dealt with it appropriately. I will report to the prince after going to court." Zhu Yunyong nodded lightly and made a decision, "The prince should also know these things. Military and state affairs are not trivial. The prince should know why and how the imperial court sent troops."

Many Wu Xun are slightly excited. Today, Wu Xun has always been attached great importance to ensuring Wu Xun's continued strength. However, some Wu Xun are also worried that with the peace of the world, Wu Xun's status may decline.

But for the time being, it seems that there is no need to worry about these things. Wu Xun is still the most important force to the emperor and the emperor's support.

As for the civil servants, they have mixed feelings. Today, the military attaches great importance to Wu Xun, which also makes the civil servant group that was always suppressed by the strong Wu Xun breathless. If it continues like this, it is estimated that the court will continue to have a strong military and weak civil servants for some time.

Hall layout.

This is not the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is true that in the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the military was strong and the civil service was weak. It was the nobles who suppressed the civil service system. But now, the Ming Dynasty has been founded for more than 30 years, but this pattern still does not exist.

Change.

It can even be said that there is still no chance of change. It is impossible to suppress Wu Xun. Don't even think about suppressing Wu Xun. As long as you are not constantly suppressed by Wu Xun and can maintain a balance, then thank God.

.

Unfortunately, this is just the best imagination, and it is really not easy to achieve this.

Just look at the emperor's attitude at that time. Although the emperor would not let those warriors rule the country, he had no intention of suppressing martial arts. This was naturally the worst news for the civil servants.

It's a pity that even if I mutter in my heart, there is no other way. It is basically impossible to regain the status of the literati in the Song Dynasty. Perhaps, we can only try to change some of the crown prince's characteristics.

Just a concept, I hope the Crown Prince can be kind to scholars.

After Zhu Yunyong said this, he looked at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and said, "In the past, the Supreme Emperor was just a pawn in King Chuyang's account, and was marginalized. He led 24 people to leave Haozhou and go south to Dingyuan, where they could have a safe place and a certain place.

Li Shanchang, a distant man, defected to offer advice. In the seventeenth year of Zhengzheng, Zhu Sheng, a hermit from Xiuning, joined the army. He built high walls and accumulated grain. The strategy of slowly becoming king can be regarded as the foundation of the world."

Zhu Yunyong's voice was calm, but the civil and military officials below did not dare to be careless because they knew what the emperor might do.

Zhu Yunyong continued at this time, "In the 16th year of Zhizheng, the Supreme Emperor captured Jiqing and changed its name to Yingtian. Liu Ji, a native of Qingtian, was invited by the Supreme Emperor and came there. He wrote a letter stating the eighteen policies for current affairs and was highly used. Then he built the Lixian Temple.

Museum to recruit talented people from all over the world. Summoned the Confucian scholar Tang Zhongshi to inquire about the way to pacify the world."

Zhu Yunyong's words are familiar to many civil and military officials, because these are the experiences of Emperor Hongwu who ruled the world, and these are all things that happened. It can also be said that some civil servants are proud of it, because Emperor Hongwu had elite soldiers and strong generals.

There are countless, but in the process of striving for hegemony, many decisive strategies were provided by scholars.

However, Zhu Yunyong also said slowly, "It's just that the Supreme Emperor came from a humble background. Although he visited many sages, he encountered many setbacks. The Supreme Emperor was very sincere in seeking talents, and told him in every possible way, 'The way to seek talents is not to be disrespectful. You must seek genuine talents and teach them with etiquette.'"

"Send". Even if "the recruited talents are unwilling to do so, the supervisor shall not force them and let them do what they want."

After hearing what Zhu Yunyong said, many scholars thought that Emperor Yingshi might want to settle accounts with the Queen of Autumn. In fact, it was not just Emperor Yingshi, but Emperor Hongwu also had to settle accounts with the Queen of Autumn.

Even though Emperor Hongwu looked like he was eager for talents, when he was conquering the world, he only looked tolerant and generous when he met those who were unwilling to serve.

But when he ruled the world, the situation was different.

In fact, before the Ming Dynasty, despite the severe monarchy, the scholar-bureaucrat class still enjoyed a certain degree of personal independence. 'Hermits' were not only tolerated, but even respected.

When Emperor Hongwu sat on the Dragon Throne, he said, "On the shores of the land, could it be the king's ministers? The sergeants and officials of the world are not used by the king, but are their own teachers from outside. It is not wrong to kill their bodies without losing their families."

' It is a crime not to be used by the emperor. This is also a characteristic of Emperor Hongwu.

In fact, in the early Ming Dynasty, Lao Zhu did not kill scholars very much because the Ming Dynasty lacked officials. But by the middle of the Hongwu period, the world was as stable as a rock. Although scholars were still needed to stabilize the country and govern the country, there were scholars everywhere, so even if they were killed, they would not be afraid of them.

people.

Lao Zhu no longer concealed his fear and suppression of scholars.

Zhu Yunyong looked at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and asked, "The Supreme Emperor issued a decree in the early years: everyone is allowed to speak out, but those who work for a living are not allowed to do so. My dear friends, do you still remember?"

At this time, although many civil and military officials looked at each other, they all understood that Emperor Yingshi could no longer hide it and was about to start an attack.

Emperor Hongwu did issue an edict, and everyone could discuss many political matters, but some scholars did not allow it.

This edict was once interpreted as meaning that at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, many scholars in the Ming Dynasty either chose to live in seclusion at home, or chose to join the Northern Yuan Dynasty and become loyal ministers of the Yuan Dynasty.

This is revenge, this is Emperor Hongwu's revenge on those scholars.

Zhu Yunyong's face was as dark as water, and he said slowly, "In the early years, the Supreme Emperor taught me that when governing the world, one should help the world and bring peace to the people. However, I have also heard what the Supreme Emperor said, and I am a bit pedantic. I only know one but not the other. This is ancient and not modern. So.

The past is not the present, and you don't know how to judge the situation. This is still the case among officials."

Many civil servants looked ugly because Emperor Yingshi was openly criticizing some scholars.

Even this is not just a simple criticism of some scholars. In fact, it can be said that this is belittling, unabashed belittlement and ridicule of some scholars.

Zhu Yunyong showed a faint smile, looked at Ru Yu and asked, "Ru Aiqing, you have been with me for a long time. Please explain to me why "Zhou Rites" can be called a classic of etiquette and etiquette. Why did the kings of all dynasties not follow it?

"Zhou Rites" governs the country?"

Ru Yu had no choice but to leave work. He was sweating profusely and could only kneel on the ground, "Your Majesty, I have only a limited knowledge."

Zhu Yunyong said sarcastically, "Oh, then I understand a little bit. The previous emperor did not use Zhou rituals, which led to the ruin of the country. My dear friends, is this the truth?"

Before Ru Yu could speak, Chen Di came out and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that the previous dynasty was destroyed for different reasons. We cannot discuss it with Zhou Li."

"Then how about ruling the country with Zhou Rites out of love for you?" Zhu Yunyong interrupted Chen Di and said directly, "At that time, our Ming Dynasty will be a country of etiquette, and the education of ritual and music will spread throughout the world. What do you think about it?"

What could Chen Di say at this time? Naturally, he could only kneel down obediently. Everyone could hear the emperor's sarcasm.

Moreover, the people standing in the court are all smart people, and they can educate the world through ritual and music. This is naturally what some people dream of. But in reality, as long as you have a little bit of brain, you will know that this is unrealistic.

Zhu Yunyong stood up slowly and said loudly, "Ritual is the scripture of heaven and the meaning of earth. It is the most important order and etiquette between heaven and earth; music is the beautiful sound between heaven and earth and the manifestation of morality. Rituals order the universe, and music harmonizes heaven and earth.

, What a magnificent spirit! Great happiness is in harmony with heaven and earth, and great gifts are in harmony with heaven and earth!"

Zhu Yunyong looked at the civil and military officials who had knelt down and continued, "Let me tell you, the reason why the ancient sage kings governed the people and the reason why the sages of later generations taught the people is just the word "ritual". In ancient times, humans and animals lived together.

.Different from the beasts, there are saints who rise up to teach people the etiquette and make people behave politely!"

Many scholars wanted to cry. What the emperor said was reasonable, because it was recorded in some ancient books or derived from theories. But the problem was the emperor's tone, which was unabashedly sarcastic.

Moreover, what the emperor said sounds reasonable at first glance. But who dares to really govern the world like this? This is simply teaching the emperor to lose his country and the country!

Some things can only be talked about and listened to. If you really believe them, you would be really stupid and have ulterior motives.

Looking at the silent civil and military officials, Zhu Yunyong asked slowly, "My dear friends, I have some doubts. Why did the ancient sage kings lose the world? Didn't the ancient sages rule the country with etiquette? Why did Confucius travel around the world?

Is it the First Emperor who finally unifies the world?"

A civil servant took courage and said, "Qin lost its country due to tyranny, and the second generation will perish!"

Zhu Yunyong nodded slowly and asked, "That's right, the second generation died. Did Liu Han rule the country with etiquette or take away the country with etiquette? Why did you love Qing, Khitan, Jurchen, and Mongolia trample on the Central Plains China? That's right, you.

Waiting to say that the barbarians do not know the etiquette and can only cause disaster for a while and dominate one side. Why did the two Song Dynasties destroy the country? They are also people who do not know how to educate?"

"You are so proficient in etiquette and justice, why don't you offer advice and enlightenment to those reckless people?" Zhu Yunyong showed a sarcastic expression and said, "Well, let Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru discuss Taoism in Jinshen Hall. What do you all think?"

Huang Zicheng?

Fang Xiaoru?

Could it be that His Majesty is launching an attack at this time because of those two people?!

Zhu Yunyong said slowly, "These two people are promising. They are Ming Dynasty officials, and they also know how to report to the imperial court. They held a banquet with all the students in the Imperial College to discuss strategies for governing the world. It doesn't matter whether they live high in the temple or far away from the rivers and lakes.

They all have the heart to serve the country with fists and fists!"

The expressions of many civil and military officials changed drastically. Where is the Imperial College?

Everyone also knows that it is the highest university in the Ming Dynasty, and many officials are from the Imperial College. But one thing is certain, that is, those students of the Imperial College are students first and foremost, and they are not qualified to discuss the government affairs. That is blatant disobedience.

The Imperial Edict!

What's even more terrible is that it seems that the scale is not small, and many students are involved, but the court official actually goes to have a lofty talk with those students. This simply does not take the emperor seriously, this is really a scholarly attitude!

Zhu Yunyong snorted coldly and said, "Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru will be dismissed from their posts immediately and sent to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment will immediately clear up the case. Any student who ignores the law and makes irresponsible remarks about state affairs will have his honors removed and will never be hired!"

Ru Yun scrambled for the ground and exhorted, "I hope your majesty will be merciful. Many students are studying hard in a cold window, and it cannot be just a passing moment."

Zhu Yunyong flicked his sleeves, stared at Ru Yu and asked fiercely, "Oh? In that case, you are ignoring the laws of the country! You dare to ignore the laws of the country before you are an official. If you get an official position, you may not have a king and a father?"

!”

Many civil servants could only beg hard at this time, hoping that His Majesty the Emperor would be merciful and give those students a chance.

If they were really stripped of their honors and never hired, those scholars would be really ruined, at least they would lose all hope in one day. There are elite scholars there, as well as the descendants of various civil servant families.

Although the civil servants were still pleading in every possible way, Zhu Yunyong remained unmoved.

Looking at Xu Huizu, Zhu Yunyong said slowly, "I heard that Crown Prince Deqing and others are often involved, so let's go to Zhao Prison first to wake up."

Many civil servants suddenly changed their minds. Not only did the imperial officials preside over such lectures, but Wu Xun also participated in satirizing the government and commenting on officials?

This doesn't allow anyone to live!

What on earth are those people thinking?!
