Monument Yangmen

Chapter 863 Praying Mantis Hunting Dragon?

Due to the scarcity of people who study, it leads to the unique status of scholars in society, which makes many people think that as long as they are educated people, they are all superior.

Confucianism emphasizes self-cultivation, family harmony, state governance, and world peace.

After the society gave them a unique status, many high-ranking scholars forgot to cultivate themselves, govern the country, and bring peace to the world.

They have pursued fame and fortune all their lives, and they only think about one thing, and that is to 'get rich'.

Because they control the mouthpiece of the world, they cover up their shortcomings very well.

Until today, Chen Lin and Peng Pai felt the ugly faces behind them after being exposed by Yang Qichi Guoguo.

Of course, among the disciples of Confucianism, there are still many loyal people who serve the country and the people.

It's just that Yang Qi didn't have the time to screen them out one by one.

The Great Yan Kingdom now has a vast territory and needs tens of thousands of officials.

If Yang Qi had to put in effort to break through their disguise, wouldn't he be exhausted?
Now Yang Qi wants to take advantage of the tide of the country's general trend to wash away the gravel among Confucian disciples and keep the handful of real gold.

Confucianism is deeply rooted in the Central Plains.

Yang Qi's need to deal with Confucianism is far from being solved overnight.

Chen Lin and Peng Pai knew that Yang Qi had to face Confucianism, so they could naturally feel the difficulties they would encounter inside.

Regarding Yang Qi's order, the two of them did not hesitate, and after turning around and leaving the imperial study room, they went to quietly arrange people to prepare.

After Chen Lin and Peng Pai left, Yang Qi ordered Zama and Aoki to seal off the palace gate of the imperial study, waiting for today's events to ferment.

Caishikou’s execution of Ling Chi still hasn’t stopped.

The staunch censor was still standing straight in the Qianyuan Hall.

After the officials came down to court, they no longer had the mind to control the harshness of Caishikou's criminal law.

They put all their eyes on the palace, on the Qianyuan Hall.

In the restaurants, brothels, and red buildings in Yanjing City, they got together in groups of three or four, discussing how to get Yang Qi to revoke the ban on the censor standing in the Qianyuan Hall.

Shake.

The day passed quietly.

The next day.

early morning.

All the officials joined together and played Yang Qi together, and the memorials poured into the imperial study like snowflakes.

Or blunt, or verbal criticism, or pleading, emerge in endlessly.

Yang Qi looked at the mountain of memorials piled up on the dragon case, and smiled coldly.

"Have someone take it out and burn it all...The memorials of the same kind sent later, burn them together..."

Most of the mountains of memorials were emptied in an instant.

Yang Qi's move was known to all the officials outside the palace after only an hour.

All the officials were astonished and gathered together again.

Inside the second largest restaurant in Yanjing City.

A group of officials sat dully in a quiet private room.

"Oh!"

With a gloomy face, Doctor Yushi slapped the table and cursed: "You are a fool! You really are a fool! The torture and death of the officials are all done by the fool."

Lu Meng was sitting upright at the head, frowning and not saying a word.

Wang Dan sat in the second seat, but he had a certain right to speak about this private meeting, he looked at the officials seriously, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, this is not a question of whether your Majesty is stupid or not.

What we have to do now is to find a way to rescue Zeng Yushi.

Once Zeng Yushi dies in Qianyuan Hall, my right to speak in front of His Majesty will be greatly weakened in the future.

All matters must be decided by His Majesty.

If Your Majesty is in charge, I will have a hard time waiting..."

"What can we do? Our censors can only submit a report. But the memorial we sent in, His Majesty didn't even read it, so he sent someone to burn it. Even if we have great reasons, His Majesty won't listen, There is nothing you can do about it.”

Doctor Yushi said indignantly.

Hubu Langzhong murmured: "Your Majesty doesn't pay much attention to us, obviously our weight is not enough. If Su Xianggong, Kou Xianggong, Lu Shangshu and others write a letter, His Majesty will definitely not deal with it lightly."

Wang Dan narrowed his eyes slightly, and glanced at Lu Mengzheng, "Now in Yanjing City, only my father, Xiang Shangshu, and Lu Fuyin are the only ones who can hold some weight in His Majesty's heart.

My father is currently working in the Military Aircraft Pavilion, so he has no way to participate in the affairs of our civil servants.

He thanked Shangshu behind closed doors and said that he would not be sick.

Only Lu Fuyin was left. "

Upon hearing this, Doctor Yushi said indignantly: "Xiang Minzhong is just a common man, not a villain. When he saw His Majesty getting angry, he hid himself. He didn't have any intention of doing anything for his colleagues. Is he considered a literati? ?”

Lu Mengzheng heard Wang Dan's words, and his heart twitched.

He smiled wryly to himself, no wonder Wang Dan wanted him to be the leader today, because he was ready to push him to be the leader.

Counting carefully the people who were the first birds in front of Yang Qi, none of them have a good end now.

"Your Majesty has no weight in His Majesty's heart for Wang Langzhong's love. You should all know that I offended Your Majesty when I was in Bianjing City. If it wasn't for Kou Xianggong, Lu Shangshu and others pleading for mercy, I am afraid that I would have died long ago." place.

Therefore, in Your Majesty's heart, instead of having much weight, there are still some old grievances.

If I insist on writing a letter to His Majesty, it will only add fuel to the fire. "

Who is Lu Mengzheng?

That is a figure who has been in the court hall of Bianjing City for many years.

In terms of seniority, Wang Dan is very different from him.

Wang Dan and the others are so narrow-minded, how could he not see it.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he evaded the matter in a few words.

Wang Dan frowned slightly, looked at Lu Meng and said, "Brother Lu, is this an excuse?"

Lu Meng smiled wryly and said: "It's not my excuse, it's the fact. If you dare to gamble with the head of the censor, you can also try it."

Doctor Yu Shi immediately stared and roared, "How can human life be trifling with..."

After saying this, everyone fell silent.

They came here because they wanted to play tricks on Lu Mengzheng to be the first bird, and now that Lu Mengzheng did not accept this responsibility, they were a little embarrassed.

Silent for a long time.

Wang Dan couldn't help but said, "Should we just sit down and watch His Majesty force the Censor to death?"

"I have a plan, I can use it."

"What plan?"

Someone spoke, and everyone followed the reputation in surprise.

But I heard the official say: "Forcing..."

"How to force?"

"There are eight hundred literati in the city of Yanjing. If you can gather hundreds of people and block the gate of the palace. At that time, even if your majesty wants to sit peacefully, it may be difficult.

As long as they block the entrance of the palace, don't eat or drink, and work together with the royal censor in the palace.

Your Majesty will have to come out at that time.

Unless His Majesty does not want to use literati in the future. "

"Sigh~"

When everyone heard this, they all gasped.

This method is ruthless.

It is equivalent to forcing the palace.

If Yang Qi really saw these people all die in Yanjing City, I am afraid that the literati in the world will never be used by him again.

Among the people present, only Wang Dan said with piercing eyes: "This method can be tried."

Doctor Yu Shi stood up and said: "I have contacts with them all, I will contact them."

Wang Dan nodded, and then said to the others: "We can't be idle, we should send someone to contact Lu Shangshu, Kou Xianggong, Su Xianggong and others. I will go to Xiangfu again later."

Lu Mengzheng heaved a deep sigh in his heart, and said in a low voice: "If you find someone to make trouble, you will find someone to make trouble, but only in front of the palace wall, and you must not let people disturb the people in Yanjing City. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for me to do it when the time comes. "

however.

No one cared about Lu Mengzheng's words, which had no use value.

The crowd left their seats and hurried away as if they hadn't heard.

Only Lu Meng was sitting alone shaking his head and smiling wryly.

"Do you think they are philistines?"

A teasing voice sounded beside Lu Mengzheng.

Lu Mengzheng was slightly taken aback, and looked over.

The wall of the private room where he was sitting was suddenly pushed away from the other side.

In an instant, the two private rooms were connected together.

Lu Meng just saw a person sitting in another private room, pouring himself a drink.

Immediately, his complexion changed drastically, he hurriedly got up, bowed and saluted, "Minister Lu Mengzheng, see Your Majesty..."

No one expected that Yang Qi, who was supposed to be sitting in the palace, quietly appeared in another private room at some unknown time.

As for the conversations of the officials before, I am afraid that Yang Qi has already heard every word in his ears.

"Don't be too polite...come and sit..."

Under Yang Qi's greeting, Lu Meng entered the private room where Yang Qi was, bowing his waist.

Zama and Aoki, who had a hulking back, closed the wall again.

"sit……"

Asking Lu Mengzheng to sit down, Yang Qi personally poured a glass of wine for Lu Mengzheng.

Lu Meng was holding the glass of wine in a state of flattery, but he didn't dare to drink for a while.

It's a bit of a guilty conscience.

Yang Qi looked at Lu Mengzheng with a half-smile, "Scared?"

"Chen...Chen...Chen is really scared..."

Lu Mengzheng really wanted to say that he was not afraid, but Yang Qi's half-smiling eyes seemed to be able to penetrate his heart, and any lies he said seemed to be unable to escape Yang Qi's eyes.

He had to tell the truth.

Yang Qi clicked his lips and said quietly: "It's a good thing to be afraid. This at least proves that you think the incident you participated in just now is not so decent."

Lu Mengzheng panicked and said: "I...I don't have any other intentions, I just feel that your punishment of Yushi is a bit harsh."

Yang Qi glanced at him, shook his head and said: "Strict? Not strict at all. I just killed some corrupt officials and used cruel methods. You all yelled and accused me.

I'm not someone who doesn't listen to advice.

But I don't want to listen to the advice of a group of selfish people.

That day in the court hall, if any of you said something related to the people under the rule of those criminal officials.I will not punish the official censor.

But what about you?
In your eyes, you only see the cruelty of our criminal law, but you cannot see how miserable the people under the rule of those criminal officials are.

What's more, I can't see how to guide and control those common people after I have dealt with so many criminal officials at once.

You don't value the people in your heart, so why should I value you?
Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it.

This country does not belong to me, nor to you literati, but to the millions of people in the world.

If you hadn't said the words at the last moment to tell them not to make trouble in Yanjing City, I would definitely not have seen you.

When I see you, it means that you are still saved.

And they are hopeless. "

Lu Meng was listening to Yang Qi's heart-to-heart words, his body and mind shook.

People!

People!

From the beginning to the end, Yang Qi had the common people in his heart.

And since Yang Qi dealt with those criminal officials until now, almost a month has passed, and no one really cares about those common people.

Among those who discussed the matter just now, who has thought about the common people?
"My Dayan is not Da Song..."

Yang Qi's quiet words brought Lu Mengzheng back from his trance.

Lu Meng was slowly prostrating on the ground, and said respectfully: "I have been taught..."

Yang Qi didn't bother to criticize Lu Mengzheng's kneeling at every turn.

He sighed: "The common people have suffered for hundreds of years, I can't watch them suffer any longer. Otherwise, I will be sorry for my conscience. As my minister, you should remember that you must treat the common people well.

As long as you treat the people well, I will not treat you badly.

Rich clothes and fine food, high officials and rich nobles are the lifelong pursuit of those people just now.

One by one, they want to reach the sky in one step, and one by one, they want to dig their own way to climb up.

Never thought about doing anything real. "

Yang Qi sneered: "Haven't they ever thought that everything they want is given to them by the people, and it is all given to them by the people. If I am not happy and the people are not happy, even if they spend their whole lives trying to gain control of them, they will never want to get them." want.

Prosperity and wealth, I can give more.

The premise is that he must have that weight and be able to afford this glory. "

Lu Meng heard Yang Qi's dislike towards those people in his words, he hesitated for a moment, but still asked a question that shouldn't be asked.

"Your Majesty... how do you plan to deal with them?"

Yang Qi glanced at Lu Mengzheng, smiled lightly, and said, "Deal with them? Why should they be dealt with? They didn't make any mistakes. The ones who are about to make mistakes are those bewitched literati. They don't have a clear mind and can't distinguish between good and evil, so they have to bear the burden." as a result of."

Yang Qi waved to Chen Lin beside her.

Chen Lin walked forward slowly, took out an imperial decree from her sleeve, and put it on the table.

Pointing at the imperial decree, Yang Qi said to Lu Meng, "Look, this is what I will do to them."

Lu Mengzheng took a deep breath and opened the imperial edict.

After seeing the content of the imperial decree, he was terrified.

"Stop the exam...five years?"

Yang Qi smiled and said: "Yes! The exam will be suspended for five years. Everyone knows that the imperial examination road is a ladder to Qingyun. But whether the imperial examination road can be passed depends on my mind.

I use them, they are priceless.I don't need them, they are useless. "

Lu Mengzheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said with a trembling mouth: "But...but the imperial court recruits scholars..."

Yang Qi said lightly: "I have decided to set up four colleges in Datong Mansion, Yanjing City, Jinling Mansion, and Seoul starting from July this year. They are dedicated to cultivating political talents.

In addition, I will set up a university corresponding to the encyclopedia in each prefecture.

As long as I am willing, I will never be short of people.

Even, I can transfer a batch from the army.

In my army, everyone is a scholar. "
