Xu Jingchang delivered a fatal blow to all the civil servants present. Many of them had bloodshot pupils and gnashed their teeth. They were simply sworn in.
Let you be high up, let you think you are superior... But you have forgotten that if it weren't for the mud-legged people of Huaixi, who fought bravely and conquered the Great Tomorrow and drove away the Great Yuan Dynasty, you would still succumb to the iron hoof of the Great Yuan Dynasty.
I'll be a ninth-class slave, worse than a prostitute.
Do you still have the nerve to look down on the poor now?
Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, are scholars really that great?
"You, you are in vain, you are so gentle and polite. You, you are unworthy of being a courtier!"
Song Li, who was facing Xu Jingchang's critical attack, had already broken his guard, spoke incoherently, and directly began to attack personally.
Xu Jingchang's smile did not diminish, "Song Book of Song Dynasty, the Three Cardinal Principles and the Five Constant Principles, there is no one saying that scholars are the guideline of the people, right? I don't read much, but I also know that being grateful and benevolent is a good character advocated by ancient sages... The founders of the country went north to the Central Plains and recovered most of the capital.
Only then did the Ming Dynasty come into existence. You are officials of the Ming Dynasty, and the country is kind to you!"
Song Li's eyes turned red and he roared angrily: "We, we have received grace from His Majesty, not from your Xu family... Even if King Zhongshan is resurrected, we would not dare to be so arrogant!"
Oops!
In an instant, Xu Huizu rushed out suddenly, his eyes spitting fire, and he glared at Song Li angrily.
You are such a common man, how dare you slander your late father?
Song Li was also confused by anger. After finishing speaking, he felt that he had made a mistake and was at a loss.
Xu Jingchang, on the other hand, had some free time and said calmly: "Your Majesty is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Since serving the country is a loyal emperor, my grandfather was just acting in accordance with the imperial edict of Emperor Taizu. It is just that recovering the capital and restoring the old land of Yanyun is not the work of one person.
All meritorious ministers should be recognized..."
Zhu Di spoke slowly. When things got to this point, it was really necessary for the emperor to step forward. Otherwise, if things continue, civil and military fights would be fought, and it would not look good if it spread out.
As the flag of Confucianism, it was not only torn into pieces, but also spit on.
"You have cut off the roots of Confucianism. From now on, you must be careful and don't be careless to avoid accidents."
Moreover, if his theory is true, it will definitely shake the theory of the connection between heaven and man since the Han Dynasty.
Xu Huizu took a deep breath, it was true.
He advocated that the foundation of the Ming Dynasty was to expel the barbarians and restore China, which also shook up the Confucian destiny cycle.
And by the way, he used Nishan Hongruhui to tease Song Li.
Zhu Di asked in a negotiating tone...but Kong Yi could also hear that he was not allowed to refuse at all, and he could not refuse.
There are even rumors outside that Xu Huizu killed Xu Zengshou out of righteousness. In fact, Xu Huizu was still leading troops outside at that time and was not in the capital. It was true that he was wronged.
It was a bit awkward for the two of them to be together.
I want you to stand out, so where can I put this old face of yours?
"Don't make any noise."
Did you see it?
The Duke of Cheng, Zhu Neng, and the Duke of Cao, Li Jinglong, were like the two generals Heng Ha. They fiercely protected Xu Jingchang. The Duke of Wei, Xu Huizu, the Duke of Qi, Qiu Fu, and many other nobles were all surrounding Xu Jingchang, not to mention the King of Han, Zhu Gaoxu.
Xu Jingchang didn't stay any longer and hurried back home.
These people can only leave in a hurry and find another way.
Xu Jingchang laughed loudly, "How can I not understand this...I am just curious right now, what will be the effect if word spread about what happened in the Golden Palace today?"
Zhu Gaosui thought for a while, "I have only got a dozen copies for the time being, but no matter which one, you are ranked first, far ahead... Others' names are all in black, but you are in red. It is said that
I have made up my mind that I can let anyone go, but you will never forgive me and you will definitely die."
Zhu Gaochi hurriedly said: "My son, I will definitely live up to my father's holy will when I accept the decree."
Beikong succumbed to the Jin Dynasty, and the past events of the Yuan Dynasty were also put on the table.
Xu Jingchang raised his eyebrows, what did he mean?
Want to test my courage?
"As the Duke of the Ming Dynasty and a noble example, I must be brave and fearless, and not afraid of death... I will put life and death aside, be ready to sacrifice myself for the country at any time, and dedicate my limited life to the supreme Ming Dynasty!"
Of course, compared with what follows, this is considered mild.
Xu Jingchang hurriedly said: "I am convinced, I am very convinced, and I am convinced."
Xu Huizu thought at a loss for a while and sighed with emotion, "I never expected that you could be as successful as you are. God has blessed you with a successor to the Xu family."
The experience of Nankong really made them unable to completely stand with the scholar-bureaucrats.
"Wait a minute." Xu Jingchang stopped him, "What did you say?"
Xu Huizu mentioned it for the second time, not because he was verbose, but because it was true that the situation was a bit serious.
And it’s not just the visible courtiers, there are also so many invisible forces, such as... the Nishan Hongru Society!
Zhu Gaosui nodded, and then said: "Brother Xian, I heard that Chen Ying has written a letter admonishing that the preferential treatment of scholars should be cancelled, especially the benefits given based on merit. At least the fact that scholars have two servants must be cancelled...
After all, it is ungrateful for scholars to serve ordinary people!"
Even Zhu Di told him to stay at home to avoid trouble and not to go out.
"You're talking nonsense!" Song Li was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead, and he was ashamed and angry... It's true. His instigation was like directly saying that people in the world only know Xu Da and not His Majesty. It's not clever to be true.
However, this method is also commonly used by civil servants. For example, in the history of the Ming Dynasty, there were people who only knew Liu Jin but did not know His Majesty, only knew Nine Thousand Years Old, but did not know Emperor Tianqi... Not to mention, it seemed to have good results.
But after all, the brothers have different choices. Now facing the brother's son, being an uncle can't help but feel awkward... "You, don't blame His Majesty for punishing him. In fact, His Majesty asked you to stay in the house to prevent any crazy people from doing anything to you.
unfavorable."
It was really getting late, and the officials dispersed. The civil servants were furious, or they got together to discuss a solution, or they gritted their teeth and wanted to deal with the culprit Xu Jingchang.
The day after Xu Jingchang was at home, Zhu Gaosui came.
To what extent has this matter reached?
"I have thought about it carefully and found that the Confucian officials of the Hongwu Dynasty really had some shortcomings, so the general affairs envoy Xie Xueshi took the lead to re-draft and make up for the shortcomings. As for the construction of the Martyrs' Shrine in Peiping, this matter is extraordinary.
, is the most important thing at the moment. Let the prince take the lead and get this matter done."
With the words "the king and his ministers are one, serve the country and be loyal to the king", he fought back his attack.
Xu Jingchang smiled, "Is it still God?"
If you want to alienate the relationship between monarch and ministers and separate Confucianism from the emperor, you have to use this method. You don't understand enough.
Zhu Di was satisfied, "We discussed a lot today. Everyone goes back to rest. I will give you a reward when you come back."
All I can say is that Xu Jingchang destroyed everything he could destroy, overturned everything he could overthrow, and offended everything he could offend.
"I want to assassinate you." Zhu Gaosui said.
Xu Jingchang nodded, "Yes, that's what it means. No grievances and no grudges, no need to risk your life. I'm just talking, there is no real benefit to those people, right?"
The palace prosperity that Song Lian and his people worked so hard to achieve was overthrown by Xu Jingchang, which meant that the efforts of the Confucian officials for more than thirty years were in vain.
Xu Jingchang swallowed again, "Um... you know, I will definitely not be intimidated by such unfounded rumors. Maybe this is someone's prank, and there is no need to take it seriously. You think so?"
To praise military men and think that they are the benefactors of civil servants is to tear off the entire face of scholar-bureaucrats...
Do you think it offends anyone?
He couldn't make sense, couldn't win in a quarrel, and was ridiculed for his IQ...Song Li turned out to be the biggest loser today.
But when they looked at Xu Jingchang, they were immediately discouraged.
Zhu Gaosui looked at his little cousin seriously and praised sincerely: "You are so good and so brave. I am so impressed by you now. If I knew someone was going to assassinate me, I would never have the courage."
"What list? Could it be?"
Otherwise, if something happens, it will be troublesome.
After a little combing, you will know how much trouble Xu Jingchang caused today... First of all, it is the problem of Nan Kong. If this family is taken out, the Kong family will actually be divided.
But facing Xu Jingchang, it was not enough.
Zhu Di nodded and said again: "Ding Guogong Xu Jingchang, although your remarks have some truth, it is too much to be so unbridled in the Golden Palace. I will punish you to spend a month behind closed doors, are you convinced?"
Zhu Gaosui nodded vigorously, "Yes, I see it that way too. Not one of these ten may be true. Besides, this is the Ming Dynasty, not the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Who wants to be Jing Ke?"
When I first set out, I didn't expect it would cause such a big fuss...if I had known better, I wouldn't have come.
Zhu Di turned his attention to Kong Yi again and said with a smile: "Mr. Kong, as descendants of saints, you have encountered turmoil and lived among the people. You are also aware of the suffering of the people. This revision is inappropriate. You are indispensable for the construction of the Martyrs' Shrine.
With help. How about this, you live in the Rongguo Public Office?"
Kong Yi was helpless and kowtowed to thank him.
It’s really hard to beat!
"I didn't say anything, just the people below me received several lists."
Xu Huizu was stunned for a while, then smiled helplessly, "I can't say, I can only tell you, I'm afraid the sky will collapse."
The others dispersed, but Xu Huizu did not leave.
After a pause, Xu Jingchang continued: "The Minister of the Song Dynasty alienated the monarch and his ministers in such a way, which seems to have fallen behind. Could it be that you are really from the Nishan Hongru Society?"
"Brother Xian, are you afraid of death?"
Xu Jingchang swallowed and his heartbeat sped up inexplicably... "How many copies have you received? Who are they?"
Xu Jingchang was startled, and then said: "This is also the truth. Scholars should understand this truth. They have taken such a big advantage, and they should take it back now. They will not have trouble with me just because of this matter, right?
Bar?"
"Yes!" Zhu Gaosui nodded vigorously, "I also believe that most people still understand the truth. Even if there are a few bad-minded people occasionally, they can't do anything to you. Don't worry!"
Xu Jingchang nodded, but his heartbeat was faster than before. Yes, what if he met a madman?
At this time, someone suddenly came over in a hurry. It was Zhu Yong who came. His face turned red when he saw Xu Jingchang and said, "It's not good. Someone poisoned Xu Jingchang. My father took someone there and asked him to come."
