Wang Hong was surrounded by the imperial students. He was so angry and so embarrassed that he fell off the carriage and injured his brain... The group of imperial students dispersed in a hurry, and no one dared to stay.
After a while, the servants of the Wang family came out bravely and carried Wang Hong back.
As a result, in the middle of the night, no one was there.
The Imperial Academy's Jiujiu Master was one of the Little Nine Qings, and he was considered a figure in the court.
His death was true, as Zhu Gaochi said, and it made more noise than he had lived for most of his life!
The only person who can laugh at the moment is Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Household Affairs.
He was extremely lucky that he finally escaped.
After leaving the circle of right and wrong, there was no need to worry, and I could finally watch the show with peace of mind. Lao Xia specially asked his subordinates to deliver the newspaper to him in time, without any carelessness.
Xia Yuanji really wanted to see how Jian Yi and his gang could escape!
After all, such a big thing is not fun.
"Jian Tianguan, Wang Hong's death is as if the sky has collapsed." Zhu Gaochi cried sadly and complained to the important ministers present.
Those who are still in Yingtian and are qualified to sit in the Wuying Hall to discuss affairs are the first to be the Tianguan Jianyi of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, followed by the general affairs envoy Xie Jin, in addition to Luo Qian, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, Lu Zhen, the censor of the Zuodu, and Lu Zhen, the censor of the Ministry of War.
Liu Jun, the minister of state, Yang Shiqi, the Hanlin scholar, and others.
These people all looked at each other, with grimaces on their faces, as ugly as they could be.
Zhu Gaochi said bitterly, "I was ordered by my father to stay behind as a prisoner of the country. However, due to such a big incident, an important official of the imperial court died in a daze. How can I explain to my father? I can only write a letter immediately, asking my father to punish me.
No matter what the consequences are, I will stand shoulder to shoulder and will never implicate anyone else... You are all the pillars of the Ming Dynasty, and I cannot implicate you no matter what."
Faced with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was so righteous and righteous, everyone present cried. His Highness is really a good person, but this must not be done in this matter.
If you do this, we will all be doomed!
Jian Yi thought about it and said, "Your Highness, it is not an accident that Wang Hong died of a sudden illness due to running around for days and overworking."
When Jian Yi spoke, everyone nodded and secretly praised him, the heavenly official congratulated him!
No matter what, you cannot report the cause of Wang Hong's death like Zhu Gaochi did... The reason is very simple. If an important official of the court dies in a daze, and the emperor is informed, a thorough investigation must be carried out.
And once it's investigated, it's hard to say what will happen.
After all, with the four major cases of the Hongwu Dynasty serving as a warning, even if you discount it, it is reasonable to kill a hundred and eighty people at once. Don't be surprised at all. There will definitely be rivers of blood and heads rolling in.
Therefore, the cause of Wang Hong's death must be death from a sudden illness, and there cannot be any other explanation.
Xie Jin also said: "Your Highness, I have also heard that Wang Jijiu was ill in his early years. Now he works tirelessly and worries about state affairs. His sudden death is really heartbreaking. I boldly suggest that Wang Hong be posthumously appointed as the Minister of Rites.
, Enyin’s family built an ancestral hall to worship in his hometown.”
Zhu Gaochi pondered for a moment, and then said: "The deceased is the greatest, and there is nothing wrong to reward the Wang family. But I still have doubts. There is such a big thing in the capital, and it is impossible for my father to not know about it. Moreover, Wang Hong asked the imperial student
Promise not to send anyone northward. Hundreds of Taipei students have heard about this, so we absolutely cannot lie."
A few words brought people back to reality.
Zhu Di Guan Yingtian wants someone, the imperial students are causing trouble, and the Imperial Academy suddenly dies while offering wine... What should we do?
If you say there is no ghost here, only a fool would believe it?
Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince was unwilling to obey the order and caused such an incident?
Or maybe the court officials were bullying the emperor for not being in the capital and inciting the imperial students to cause trouble?
Whose instigation did Wang Hong listen to to meet with the imperial students?
Why did he suddenly die?
…
This series of bad things cannot stand up to any investigation.
Once Zhu Di issues an order to investigate, it is hard to say that any of the princes in Wuying Palace will lose their heads.
Therefore, both Jian Yi and Xie Jin advocated not making a fuss about Wang Hong's death.
If we can't control it, don't seek death ourselves.
But the problem is that if Wang Hong is fine, who will be responsible for the chaos in the capital?
Also, what should I do if Your Majesty wants someone?
Guys, you look at me, I look at you... At the end, Lu Zhen spoke.
After all, as Zhu Gaochi's confidant, he couldn't watch His Highness the Crown Prince being in trouble.
And it's not complicated, it just requires breaking the window paper.
"Your Highness, as well as all the princes, the imperial students refused to go north, failed the emperor, and besieged the division commander, angering the king and causing him to die of grief and anger. In any case, the imperial eunuch will be responsible for this matter."
Jian Yi pondered for a while and then said: "What Lu Shangshu said is absolutely true, but who should be responsible and who should conduct a thorough investigation? How can the results of the investigation convince the public... Have you thought about these things?"
Lu Zhen lowered his head, pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "Jian Tianguan, do you still want to investigate?"
Want to check?
There are a large number of yinjian in the Imperial College, for example, Jian Yi's son is among them, and others are no exception. In addition, those who are admitted to the Imperial College are also leaders. Most of their families are also local big families, and are related to celebrities in the scholarly community.
Therefore.
Once a thorough investigation is carried out, to what extent will it be considered over?
Previously, Xu Jingchang's creation of the Nishan Hongru Society had already made scholars nervous.
If we were to investigate, there would still be a lot of heads, which would definitely damage Shilin's vitality.
Liu Jun was a fool. He had not yet understood what Lu Zhen meant, so he couldn't help but ask: "How can we convict someone without an investigation?"
Lu Zhen chuckled and said: "Liu Shangshu, this crime belongs to all the imperial students!"
"ah!"
Liu Jun was shocked and couldn't help but look at the others, only to find that everyone seemed to have been prepared for it, as it should be.
This blame was so big that the Imperial College had no choice but to take the blame.
"If that's the case, I'm afraid the Imperial College will be abolished!"
Liu Jun's voice was not loud, but everyone present was shocked.
The Imperial College is a yamen with a long history. It has followed the rules of the past generations, so how can it be easily abolished?
Xie Jin thought about it and said, "Is it possible to demobilize these students and drive them back to their place of origin?"
Jian Yi was moved in his heart and looked at Zhu Gaochi.
His Highness the Prince thought for a moment and said: "They can be sent back to their place of origin, but who should be recruited into the Imperial College next?"
Zhu Gaochi straightened his waist and looked at the guests present.
"These imperial students are unwilling to go north. How can the next supervising students be willing to share the country's worries and be able to go north to serve the country without avoiding hardships?"
If we just expel this group of supervisors and recruit a new group, what's the use if they are all the same?
Zhu Di couldn't explain it either.
Therefore, the reform of the Imperial College is imperative.
Everyone looked at each other in shock, with clouds rolling in their hearts and shuddering... After a long silence, Xie Jin finally spoke.
"Your Highness, all supervisory students should have real talents and practical knowledge, and be able to avoid hardships and dangers, and be determined to serve the country. In my opinion, they should be selected more often from children from poor families."
Zhu Gaochi nodded, "That's right, you have to be able to endure hardship and be willing to endure hardship...anything else?"
Xie Jin added: "The other thing is what I have learned. Your Majesty wants someone to go north to do practical things. Therefore, it is best to be proficient in arithmetic and understand practical matters, and not be an ordinary nerd."
Zhu Gaochi nodded again and again, "Xue Xie is absolutely right. The current Taixue is only reading the Four Books and Five Classics, and just writing eight-legged essays. It is said that it is to sharpen knowledge and character, but in the end it is disobeying the will, bullying the teacher and destroying the ancestors...
It shows that their moral character is worrisome!"
Everyone sighed for a while, and if they wanted to refute, they had nothing to say.
These Taistudents are really so embarrassing and there is no cure.
Seeing that everyone had nothing to say, Zhu Gaochi suddenly laughed, "I just thought about it, and according to what Bachelor Jie said, there is no need to bother. There is a school that is just right."
Zhu Gaochi looked at everyone, "How about we write to the emperor to change the number one school in the world to Taixue? What do you think?"
Not so!
Everyone present had their eyes widened. Even Jian Yi couldn't calm down.
There are some things we can discuss, but there are some things we absolutely cannot!
The school that Xu Jingchang instigated is nothing, no need to say more.
There was a lot of fuss when trying to get recognition from the imperial court.
Now we are going to slap on the nose and turn them into the highest educational institution in the Ming Dynasty. How can there be such a reason?
"Your Highness, the Imperial College is indeed in need of rectification, but it is really unjustifiable to hastily turn a Mongolian school into an Imperial College. What's more, the Imperial College gathers the world's heroes, and it is definitely not something that can be replaced casually." Jian Yi said seriously.
Zhu Gaochi observed his words and found that the other important ministers also had the same intention. Even Xie Jin was opposed to this direct promotion.
Zhu Gaochi said with a smile: "That's what I said, you guys don't need to pay attention. Let's discuss carefully how to take care of Wang Hong's funeral and how to give an explanation to the world."
Zhu Gaochi did not continue...but according to the rules, when discussing matters in Wuying Palace, the contents need to be presented to Zhu Di truthfully.
But everyone knows that no matter how high the level is, it is impossible to perfectly restore the scene. Every record will have priorities and trade-offs... Of course, this is not to deceive the emperor, nor is it negligence on the part of the officials, it is just the upper limit of manpower.
, just helpless.
This time, Hu Yan was responsible for recording the proceedings at Wuying Palace.
Then he quickly rushed to Peiping.
Zhu Di glanced at it briefly, and his eyes were completely attracted by a few inconspicuous sentences...
"Xu Jingchang, you said that your school should be upgraded to Imperial College. What do you think?"
Xu Jingchang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, that school minister was the earliest initiator, but now he has little relationship with me."
Zhu Di rolled his eyelids and said with a smile: "Then do you think this school can replace Taixue?"
"No!" Xu Jingchang said honestly: "The Imperial College is the Imperial College of the Ming Dynasty. The number of students in that school is too narrow to represent the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Di thought for a while and said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this? Just recruit more students from all over the country. By the way, let's start from Peking. Go and take care of it!"
Xu Jingchang went down with the order... Zhu Di was the only one left, with an unstoppable smile on his face.
"If you dare to attack the Imperial Academy, you are really my son!"
