I am the king of the dead

Chapter 246
The news that His Majesty the Great Ming Emperor was going to deprive Yansheng of Duke's title spread like wildfire and quickly spread throughout the entire capital, leaving countless students dumbfounded.

Daming has only one sky, and that is His Majesty.

However, seeing that His Majesty meant that he would no longer set up Yan Shenggong, it caused countless people to feel uneasy, and they wanted to know what His Majesty wanted to do.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Qiyu came to Fengtian Hall and sat on the throne without saying a word.

The ministers all knew that His Majesty was full of anger when they met him, and this anger consisted of several parts.

The first is family hatred.

Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne in commoner clothes and proclaimed himself emperor, expelled the Tartars within nine months, and was an extremely powerful ruler. Kong Kejian dared to invite Fang to come three times. This is the greatest disrespect to the Ming Dynasty!
But at that time, the world was initially settled, and people were panic-stricken. The memorial archway of Yanshenggong had to be erected, and then the Qufu Kong family pointed their noses and scolded the nouveau riche for more than 80 years.

The second is to pervert the law.

There are so many thieves in Shandong, and Li Binyan was assassinated again and again, and even in front of the gate of Changping Mayi, there was even a fight between thieves and the Ming army. What kind of madness is this?On the land of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial envoys of the Ming Dynasty were besieged and killed with open fire.

The third is Litong Japanese pirates.

In Tang Xing's memorials, there was a group of Japanese pirates in the midst of rebellion. The corpses of this group of Japanese pirates and two wounded captives had been sent to the capital. Silver, buy Li Binyan's head.

"See Your Majesty, is Your Majesty blessed?" All the ministers looked at me and I looked at you, and bowed to the head, His Majesty's anger was written all over his face.

Zhu Qiyu took a deep breath and said, "I am safe, but my heart is like a knife."

As soon as the officials heard this, they also knew that His Majesty deprived Yan Shenggong today, even if many people opposed it, it would be done.

Yu Qian led the officials to bow their heads and said: "The ministers are in panic!"

Zhu Qiyu went on to say: "Hu Yuan was in a state of confusion, which led to the failure of Ji Gang, the ruler's desolation of ministers, and the downward shift of prestige, so the laws were ineffective, and people's hearts were scattered, which led to turmoil in the world, heroes and heroes, and people's desolation!"

"I failed to grasp the virtues, and the governance was not perfect. Taizu pioneered, asked the government Hu Yuan's gains and losses, and said: the loss lies in verticality, and Yuan is not lenient. I dare not forget."

"Thirdly, the Taizu asked Hu Yuan to confer the title of Yan Sheng Gong Kong Kejian Fangzhi. The Taizu treated each other with courtesy, gave the house Mami, and appointed officials. The Kong family despised etiquette and righteousness, and Yi Lun was arrogant, wantonly criticizing my emperor's destiny."

Zhu Qiyu let out a foul breath and told the officials that this was a family feud.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was wronged for the sake of the world, the Kong family told others everywhere that there are three families in the world, and the Fengyang Zhu family is an upstart, petty!

To this day, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty wants to give up the original grievances!
Tell them the Kong family, who owns the world!
"The way of Zhongni is vast and long-standing. The way of the kings of the Ming Dynasty established the teaching and governed the world. Under the ten thousand generations, the monarch, ministers, fathers, and sons really depend on him."

"If a person has accumulated funds, he must seek good smelting and mold them. If he has beautiful jade, he must seek good workmanship and carve them. As for children, if they have good qualities, they must seek good teachers to teach them. Gai is a model scholar and makes them into tools. Their talents and strengths will be cultivated by each."

"However, ordinary people know how to learn from sages, how about the descendants of Confucius?"

"Yansheng Gong Kong Yanjin was a graduate student, did not practice virtue, was not humble to his clansmen, pretended to be kind, pretended to be kind, but had no real benevolence and sincerity."

"If such a greedy, indulgent, corrupt, and chaotic person is called Confucius's disciple, and a milky person, fresh clothes and angry horses will be followed by Confucius, and they are said to be respectful and generous, why not! Don't call it evil!"

What Zhu Qiyu was talking about was Kong Yanjin's virtues. Kong Yanjin really has no virtue, he is addicted to alcohol, loves leisure and hates work, greedy and indulgent, if he is not punished, what is the difference from Xia Jie and Shang Zhou?
"Qufu, the place where the most holy teachers were the first to be good, Yanzhou, where the ancestors opened up Qingyun, thieves, bandits, and slaves lingered in it, and there were also big robbers who ran amok and robbed the road. Today, Japanese pirates have also come to Yanzhou!"

"Whose fault?"

"Yan Shenggong acts as a prestige and unites his wings, or compares with bandits and follows suit."

Qingyun is talking about Qingyun Song, which is said to be the work of Shun Chan who was located in Yu, and the officials congratulated and sang harmony.

Yanzhou, one of the ancient Kyushu, has become such a devastated state today.

Zhu Qiyu took a deep breath, and said sharply: "Qufu and Yanzhou are so rotten, and the people are in dire straits. I am so heartbroken!"

"Shandong Ministry of Household Cleaning Officials came to report that the imperial allocation of sacrificial fields, Tangmu fields, Xuetian fields, touxian fields, self-owned private fields, and roufen fields totaled more than [-] hectares. North Zhili, Shandong, Henan, and Nanzhi Li, Zhejiang and other places, spread across dozens of states and counties in seven prefectures!"

"The abacus of the Confucian Mansion is sounding, the tenants are crying, paying rent is like entering the gate of hell, and each pass is more difficult than the next."

After Zhu Qiyu finished speaking, the officials immediately started talking about it.

You know, some time ago, in order to promote the payment of taxes and taxes by the kings, relatives, and gentry, His Majesty cleared the land of the clan, and the land in His Majesty's hands was only [-] hectares!

Confucian mansion actually has [-] hectares!

And there are dozens of prefectures and counties in the two capitals, three provinces and seven prefectures. What is this going to do?
This is to rebel!
No wonder Kong Yanjin was so active in pushing people to stop the exam and threatening the court. Most of the [-] hectares of land were fertile land, with millions of acres of land, the amount of high taxes converted into silver was more than one million taels!

The reason why they join hands to raise people to stop the examination is that the trend of His Majesty's acceptance of gifts in the world is becoming more and more obvious. There is already a general trend, and they have to do it and jump out.

Of course, the Confucian Mansion was like a madman, not hesitating to assassinate the imperial envoys, but also to keep their own privileges.

Wang Jue, Gao Chong, Sun Yu, Guosheng, Yin Yu, Wang Yu, and Yang Zan came out and knelt tremblingly.

They are all Shandong students.

Yin Yu bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are sincerely afraid. Confucius said: If virtue is not worthy, there will be disasters. Virtue is weak but the position is high. Wisdom is small but the plan is big. Strength is small but the responsibility is heavy. Rarely can't do it."

"Yan Shenggong Kong Yanjin's corruption and tyranny have been clearly heard. It is natural to ask questions according to the law. Xuansheng is the famous patriarch of the world. Kong Yanjin does not think about the merits of his ancestors in raising the world and establishing the religion. If he is not severely punished, he will hinder the law. , makes no sense."

"Your Majesty, I beg your majesty to depose the position of the Holy Duke, sit down and beheaded, and all the chief evildoers will be given the canonical punishment!"

Why did Yin Yu repeatedly ask His Majesty to kill someone?
Is this just what he means?This is the opinion of the entire Shandong Shilin.

Because most of Shandong's candidates have already gone to Beijing for reference, Yin Yu must stand in the court and speak for the entire Shandong students in the face of the real interests of the share of Jinshi list that is about to be divided.

These people have read the books of sages and sages all their lives, and they are counting on their titles on the gold list to honor their ancestors.

Such a thing happened so close to the examination, if His Majesty expands the scope of attack, Yin Yu, the seven Jinshi from Shandong, may not be able to return to their roots.

Who is Yan Shenggong?Can he give Shandong Shilin a Jinshi quota?

he can not!
If your Majesty is offended by the cancellation of the exam in Qufu this time, if His Majesty has a slight intention to reduce the number of Jinshi in Shandong, officials from the entire Beibang Zhili, Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi and other places will immediately respond in groups.

Participate in the grand event of dividing up the 21 places in Shandong!

For Shandong, this is simply terrible news!
So what if you are the descendant of the Propaganda Saint?

Yin Yu's seven bowed their heads and listened to each other, their anger was somewhat stronger than Zhu Qiyu's.

"Where are the people who know about the Japanese pirates?" Zhu Qiyu let out a foul breath and continued to ask.

Yin Yu shouted loudly: "Send it to Tai Tai Hospital! Just to make a warning to others!"

The courtiers advised His Majesty the way of benevolence and forgiveness every day, but when it really involved their own interests, they were really impolite.

Hu Wei stood up and bowed his head and said: "Litong Japanese pirates are spies, conspiracy, and the great crime of conspiracy is also a ancestral system."

"The former Mingzhou Guard Commander Lin Xian commanded troops to defend against the Japanese in the East China Sea. Unexpectedly, Commander Lin Xiandang had communicated with Hu Weiyong when he was driving in Beijing, and formed a party fraud. Emperor Gao demoted Lin Xian overseas to the Japanese country. "

"Lin Xian lived overseas for three years, and secretly went to the country of Wa to retrieve it. He borrowed the soldiers of the king of the country of Wa and pretended to pay tribute to the court, with the intention of causing chaos."

"The envoys who came were the master of Yaozang, the left deputy envoy Zuomenwei, and the right deputy envoy Youmenwei. They led more than [-] elite Japanese soldiers with armor, and the Japanese monks were outside."

"Lin Xianling was put to death. Today, the Confucian mansion is connected to the country of Wa, so it should be sent to the imperial hospital according to the law."

The hospital is short of spies, and now there are spies, isn't it just right?
What you want, what you want.

Since there are demands, then satisfy them, isn't this what a benevolent father should do?

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said, "Let's draft an imperial edict in Wenyuan Pavilion."

It’s okay not to be famous for some things. If they are famous, they can’t be suppressed. The matter of privately setting up a city ship in Mizhou, if not famous, it is a private maritime trade.

Hu Yi bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, Yan Shenggong means to reproduce the saints of Wenxuan, but the minister checked for a long time, and in the Yuan Dynasty, Yanyou granted Kong Sihui the title of Yan Shenggong for three years, but Kong Huan, the father of Kong Sihui, I have exhausted all the scriptures, and I have not found a single sentence."

"This Kong Huan seems to have appeared out of thin air. I think that the governor and other officials should be sent to investigate this person."

This time, Hu Wei was washed three times in one place.

He first questioned the legitimacy of Kong Yanjin as Duke Yansheng. There is no record of Kong Sihui's father at all. It was Yuan Renzong who checked the Kong family tree, and then abolished Kong Sicheng and established Kong Sihui as Duke Yansheng.

However, Kong Sihui's father did not have any clear records, which is debatable.

This gave every student in the world a fig leaf.

He, Kong Yanjin, is not a descendant of Wenxuan King Kong Zhongni, so he committed such crimes, and the laws of the country are strict and merciless.

Everyone is still a student of Confucianism, Kong Zhongni sat down as a saint, and the years are still quiet, it is because of the problem with the word "reproduction" of Yan Shenggong.

Secondly, he gave His Majesty the greatest flexibility to deal with it. No matter whether His Majesty wants to abolish the title of Lord Yansheng, or exile thousands of members of the Kong family, or establish the Kong family of Quzhou as Duke Yansheng, there are advances and retreats. Space.

In the end, everyone in Shandong, Yanzhou, and Qufu should be honored. This Yan Shenggong is all a string, and naturally the taste is not right.

They joined forces with Juren, who were unable to continue the scientific examination, to stop the examination and make trouble, because the bloodline was not pure enough, it was not a problem in the place where the most holy teachers were the first to be good, and it was not a problem in the place where the ancestors opened up Qingyun.

It is not that there is a problem with the learning, but that there is a problem with the Confucian Mansion.

As soon as Hu Wei said this, the three flavors were immediately tasted by the officials. They are all human spirits. Can you not understand this?
But in such a sentence, they really don't have the ability to clean up three times in one place...

"So let Li Binyan check it out." Zhu Qiyu nodded, this Hu Mingxi was very professional.

Hu Wei gave the world the last bit of decency, but he didn't leave any decency for Kong Yanjin and his clan.

Even the identity of the descendants of Confucius they relied on was taken away.

"There is one more thing." Zhu Qiyu sat up straight and said, "Shandong is dismissing the exams, what should we do?"

Yin Yu still didn't stand up, he shouted loudly: "Those who joined hands in the middle and conspired against each other, the minister thought they should be beheaded to show the public, and those who are ignorant and deceived should be dismissed from their fame and status and demoted to the people."

Li Binyan divided the case of Yan Shenggong's irregularity and the Yanzhou mansion's dismissal case into two cases, and Zhu Qiyu also divided his handling of it into two cases.

Joining hands in the middle is naturally plotting to rebel. As for the ignorant and deceived guys who made a fuss together, Yin Yu's rhetoric is also quite harsh.

Get rid of fame directly.

Is it difficult to take the exam?
It's really hard to get a candidate. Hai Rui is just a candidate to become an official, and he sat on the right servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in Nanjing all the way.

What is Hai Rui pursuing all his life?He advocated honesty and thrift throughout his life.

Restoring the punishment of Emperor Taizu Gao, skinning and weeding corrupt criminals, harsh punishments and strict laws, and wantonly rectifying the administration of officials, the world can be cleansed.

Examing a person is tantamount to changing one's life. Fan Jinzhongju described it in great detail. Although Fan Jinzhongju is a work of art, why doesn't it actually come from life?
It may be the dream of countless scholars to take the exam to be a Juren.

This loss of fame is probably a hundred times, a thousand times worse than death.

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said: "One should abolish fame and be demoted to the people, that is, no scientific examinations will be allowed within three lifetimes."

"Is there anyone else who objected?" Zhu Qiyu sat up straight, and now that the result has been settled, it's time to wait for the objector.
