Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 710 What are you thinking? !
Emperor Yingshi, who was sitting on the dragon chair, just glanced casually, but this also made the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty feel a lot of pressure.

Although the person sitting on the dragon chair looked young, he didn't seem to be as overbearing as Emperor Hongwu.It's just that I don't know when it started, that emperor who is still relatively young and looks a little delicate has made people feel more and more out of breath.

After all, it is the blood of Emperor Hongwu, and he is worthy of being the successor carefully cultivated by Emperor Hongwu.Even if he is less than [-] years old, he can't hide the sophistication of his political skills, the meanness and domineering in his bones.

The Emperor Yingshi's rage yesterday in the court hall left people with lingering fears, so it was obvious that the atmosphere in Fengtian Hall was rather depressing.At this time, civil and military officials are generally more cautious, and absolutely do not want to be the fuse that detonates the conflict.

Xu Huizu came out of the shift at this time and said, "Your Majesty, three days ago Duke Ying reported that the army had arrived in Qingzhou."

Zhu Yunying nodded slightly, and said, "According to the speed of the army's development, the army will return to Yingtian Mansion in a short time. The governor's mansion of the five armies, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of War will draw up regulations, and do a good job in welcoming the king's teacher and rewarding meritorious service according to the regulations. "

No one was surprised by this incident. In fact, they had prepared for it before, but now the army is about to return in triumph.Naturally, it meant that preparations had to be made, and it was time to formally welcome Master Wang.

Looking at Xu Huizu, Zhu Yunying asked, "Did the crown prince receive the report?"

Li Jinglong stood up and replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, His Royal Highness previously ordered the ministers to welcome the king with the ceremony of destroying the country and opening up the border."

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

Therefore, Fu Youde and others naturally have the credit for opening up territories and conquering disobedient ministers.

"The crown prince handled it properly, and report to the crown prince after the next court." Zhu Yunying nodded lightly, and made a decision, "The crown prince should also know these things. Military and state affairs are not trivial matters. The crown prince should know why and how the court sent troops."

A lot of Wu Xun are a little bit exciting. Nowadays, people always pay more attention to Wu Xun, which can ensure the continued strength of Wu Xun.But some Wu Xun are also worried that with the peace of the world, maybe Wu Xun's status will 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 of the emperor, and he is the emperor's reliance.

As for the civil servants, they are in a complicated mood. Nowadays, martial arts are valued very much, which makes the civil official group, which was always suppressed by the strong martial arts, breathless.If it continues like this, it is estimated that the court structure of the strong military and the weak will continue for a period of time.

This is not the first year of the founding of the country. It is true that in the early years of the founding of the country, all dynasties were generally strong in military and weak in culture, and it was those nobles who suppressed the civil service system.But the current Ming Dynasty has been founded for more than [-] years, but this pattern has not changed.

It can even be said that there is still no chance of change, and it is far away to suppress Wu Xun.Don't even think about suppressing Wu Xun, as long as you don't continue to be suppressed by Wu Xun and can maintain a balance, then thank God.

It's a pity that this is just the best imagination, and it's really not easy to do this.

Just look at the attitude of the emperor today. Although the emperor will not let those warriors rule the country, he does not see the slightest intention to suppress Wu Xun.This is naturally the worst news for civil servants.

It's a pity that there is no other way to do it even if you are muttering in your heart.It is basically impossible to restore the status of literati in the Song Dynasty.Perhaps, we can only try to change some of the crown prince's ideas, and hope that the crown prince can be kind to scholars.

After Zhu Yunying finished speaking, he looked at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty and said, "In the past, the Supreme Emperor was just a pawn in the account of King Chuyang, and he was squeezed out. He led 24 people to leave Haozhou and go south to Dingyuan. Only then can there be a place to live and people from Dingyuan Li Shanchang went to offer advice. In the 17th year of Zhengzheng, Zhu Sheng, a hermit from Xiuning, joined him, built high walls, accumulated food widely, and slowly became king. The policy can be called the foundation of the world."

Zhu Yunying'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.

At this time, Zhu Yunying also continued, "In the 16th year of Zhengzheng, the Supreme Emperor captured Jiqing and changed his name to Yingtian. Liu Ji, a native of Qingtian, was hired by the Supreme Emperor and wrote a letter stating the eighteen policies of current affairs. , To recruit talented people from all over the world. Summon Tang Zhongshi, a Confucian scholar, and ask about the way to calm the world."

Many civil and military officials are no strangers to Zhu Yunying's words, because this is the experience of Emperor Hongwu's ruling the world, and these are all things that have happened.It can also be said that some civil servants should be proud, because Emperor Hongwu had countless elite soldiers and strong generals, but in the process of striving for hegemony, many decisive strategies were made by scholars.

But Zhu Yunying also said slowly, "It's just that the Supreme Emperor came from a humble background. Although he visited all the sages, he was frustrated. The Supreme Emperor's heart to seek talents is very sincere, and he entrusted him in every possible way. Send'. Even if 'some of the recruited talents are unwilling to do so, some of them will not be forced to do so, and they will be allowed to do as they please.'”

Hearing what Zhu Yunying said, many scholars felt that Emperor Yingshi might have to settle accounts after the fall.In fact, not only Emperor Yingshi, but also Emperor Hongwu once settled accounts for the autumn queen.

Don't look at the look of the Hongwu Emperor who was eager for talents, when he met those who didn't want to be an official when he was conquering the world, he just showed a magnanimous look.

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

In fact, before the Ming Dynasty, although the monarchy was serious, the scholar-bureaucrat class still enjoyed a certain degree of personality independence. 'Hermits' are not only tolerated, but even revered.

And when Emperor Hongwu sat on the dragon chair, he gave the words "The coast of the land, could it be the king's ministers."It is a saying that scholar-bureaucrats in Huanzhong are not used by the emperor, but those who teach themselves from outside.It is a crime not to use it for the king, which is also a characteristic of Emperor Hongwu.

In fact, in the early Ming Dynasty, Lao Zhu didn't kill scholars very much, because Ming Dynasty lacked officials.But in the mid-Hongwu period, the world was as peaceful as a rock. Although scholars were still needed to govern the country, scholars were everywhere, and even if they were killed, they were not afraid of having no one.

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

Zhu Yunying looked at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and asked in a different way, "The Supreme Emperor made a decree in the early years: everyone is allowed to speak bluntly, but students are not allowed. Do you still remember?"

Although many civil and military officials looked at each other in blank dismay, they all understood that Emperor Yingshi no longer concealed it, and this was about to start an attack.

Emperor Hongwu did issue a decree, and everyone can discuss many political affairs, except that some scholars do not allow it.

This decree was once interpreted as the founding of the country at the beginning of the year, and many scholars in the Ming Dynasty either chose to live in seclusion at home, or chose to seek refuge in Bei Yuan and become loyal ministers of the Great Yuan.

This is revenge, and this is Emperor Hongwu's revenge for those scholars back then.

Zhu Yunying's face sank like water, and he said slowly, "In the early years, the Supreme Emperor taught me that governing the world should help the world and the people. It's just that I have also heard what the Supreme Emperor said, a little pedantic, only knowing one and not the other, it is ancient and not modern. The ancient times are not the present, and one does not know how to assess the situation, and the trend among scholars is still the same."

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

Even this is not as simple as criticizing some scholars, in fact, it can also be said that this is belittling, unabashedly belittling and mocking some scholars.

Zhu Yunying showed some faint smiles, looked at Ru Yu and asked, "Ru Aiqing, you have been with me for a long time. Come and explain to me why "Zhou Li" is a classic of etiquette, etiquette and righteousness. "Zhou Li" governs the country?"

Ru Yu could only go out of work, and he could only kneel down on the ground sweating profusely, "Return to Your Majesty, I have very little knowledge."

Zhu Yunying said sarcastically, "Oh, then I understand a little bit. The emperor of the previous dynasty did not use Zhou rituals, so that the country perished. Dear friends, is this the truth?"

Before Ru Yu could speak, Chen Di came out of the shift and said, "Returning to Your Majesty, I think the reason for the collapse of the previous dynasty is different. You can't discuss it according to the etiquette."

"Then how about governing the country with the rituals of Zhou in the meaning of loving Qing?" Zhu Yunying interrupted Chen Di and said directly, "By then our Ming Dynasty will be a state of etiquette, and the world will be educated with etiquette and music. What does Aiqing think?"

What can Chen Di say at this time, naturally he can only kneel obediently at this time, anyone can hear the emperor's irony.

Moreover, those who stand in the hall are all smart people, and they can teach the world with rites and music, which is naturally something that some people dream of.But in reality, as long as you have a little brain, you will know that this is unrealistic.

Zhu Yunying got up slowly, and said loudly, "Rites are the scriptures of heaven and the righteousness of the earth. They are the most important order and rituals between heaven and earth; music is the beautiful sound between heaven and earth, and it is the manifestation of morality. Rituals order the universe, and music harmonizes the world , What a majestic grandeur! Great joy is in harmony with heaven and earth, and great ceremony is in harmony with heaven and earth!"

Zhu Yunying looked at the civil and military officials who had already knelt down, and continued, "If you want to tell me, the reason why the ancient sage kings ruled the people, and the reason why the sages of later generations taught the people is just the word "ritual". .Different from beasts, there are sages who rise up and teach people to be polite and make people polite!"

Many scholars wanted to cry. What the emperor said was reasonable, because it was recorded in some ancient books, or it was an extended theory.But the problem lies in the emperor's tone, which is unabashedly mocking.

And what the emperor said made sense at first glance.But who dares to really govern the world like this, this is simply teaching the emperor to lose the country!
Some things can only be said and listened to. If you really believe them, you are really stupid and have ulterior motives.

Looking at the silent civil and military officials, Zhu Yunying asked slowly, "My dear friends, I have some doubts. Why did the ancient sages lose the world? Could it be that the ancient sages did not rule the country with propriety? Confucius traveled around the world, why? Is it the first emperor who will finally rule the world?"

A civil servant plucked up his courage and said, "Qin lost the country with tyranny, and the second generation will perish!"

Zhu Yunying nodded slowly, and asked again, "Yes, the second generation died. Then Liu Han ruled the country with propriety or seized the country with propriety? Dear friends, why did Khitan, Jurchen, and Mongolia trample on the Central Plains China? Yes, you If you want to say that the barbarians don't know the etiquette and law, they can only cause disaster for a while and dominate one side. Why did the two Songs destroy the country? They are also people who don't know how to educate?"

"You are so proficient in etiquette and righteousness, why don't you teach and educate those reckless people?" Zhu Yunying showed a sarcastic expression, and said, "How about this, let Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru discuss the Tao in the Jinshen Palace, what do you love?"

Huang Zicheng?
Fang Xiaoru?
Could it be that His Majesty's attack at this time is because of those two people? !
Zhu Yunying said slowly, "These two are promising. They are officials of the Ming Dynasty, and they know how to reimburse the court. They held a banquet at the Guozijian with all the students to discuss the strategy of governing the world. It doesn't matter if they live in a high temple or far away from the rivers and lakes. They all have the heart to serve the country with fists!"

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

Everyone also knows that it is the highest institution of learning 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 government affairs arbitrarily, that is to openly violate the imperial edict of the Supreme Emperor!

What's more terrible is that it seems that the scale is not small, and it's nothing more than a lot of students involved, but the imperial court ordered officials to talk with those students.This is simply not paying attention to the emperor, this is really a scholarly anger!
Zhu Yunying snorted coldly, and said, "Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru are immediately dismissed from office and sent to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Criminal Justice should clear up this case immediately. Students who ignore the law and discuss state affairs indiscriminately should lose their fame and never be hired!"

Ru Yu scrambled for the ground, and moaned to remonstrate, "I hope Your Majesty will be merciful, many students are studying hard, and it can't be because of a passing moment."

Zhu Yunying flicked his sleeves, stared at Ru Yu and asked viciously, "Oh? If that's the case, then ignore the country's laws and decrees! You dare to ignore the country's laws before you are an official. If you become an official and a half-job, I'm afraid you will have no king and no father? !"

At this time, many civil servants could only plead bitterly, hoping that His Majesty the Emperor would be merciful and give those students a little chance.

If this really removes their fame and never hires them, those scholars will really be ruined, at least for a while, they will lose all hope.There are the elite of scholars and the descendants of various civil servant families.

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

Looking at Xu Huizu, Zhu Yunying said slowly, "I heard that Deqing Hou Shizi and others often participate, so go to Zhao Prison to wake up first."

Many civil officials suddenly changed their colors. Not only did the court order officials to preside over such lectures, but also Wu Xun participated in satirizing the government and commenting on officials?
This, let people live!
What are those people thinking? !
