Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 682
Capital city, midnight, Li Mansion.

"Meng An, you are the chief assistant of the cabinet. You have to make up your mind about today's matter." Zhang Tianlu, a scholar of Dongge University, said in a deep voice.

"That's right, Lord Shoufu, the imperial examination system was established by all dynasties. Since the Ming Dynasty inherited the whole world, the system of selecting scholars based on stereotyped writing and Ming scriptures has been established. After that, it has not been changed for nearly 300 years.

Now the sage insists on going his own way, risking the displeasure of the world, and disregarding the ancestral system of the Taizu emperor, which is really an act of foolishness.

This matter has transcended the entanglements between us, and I ask Mr. Chief Assistant to put the overall situation first. "Ma Guangyuan, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, got up and cupped his hands.

Both Zhang Tianlu and Ma Guangyuan belong to the East Palace Party, and they have always fought against the former emperors and old ministers of the court, but now this matter has surpassed factional disputes. If the emperor really messes up and changes the imperial examination system like that, they will be stabbed in the back of.

As soon as they came to the morning court today, the courtiers realized that something was wrong, because the Holy Majesty behaved too abnormally today.

Not only did they all agree to the proposal of these courtiers with a smile on their face, but they also showed concern for the elders of the cabinet several times, and the compliments seemed to be free of money.

The so-called being courteous for nothing, adultery or robbery, even though this describes today's day as a bit unintentional, but Zhang Tianlu was surprised, and felt in his heart that something big would happen today.

The rest of the cabinet naturally had the same idea as him. After a stalemate in the court for a quarter of an hour, Zhu Cihong finally announced the reform of the Beijing camp and the imperial examination system, causing an uproar among the civil and military courts.

The courtiers naturally objected, and all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty knelt down to ask the emperor to take back his order, but Zhu Cihong obviously came prepared, not only ignoring the advice of all the officials, but also trying to override the cabinet and write the world.

The central decree is not a decree approved by the cabinet. In Ming Dynasty, even if the emperor wanted to make a decree, without the cabinet's approval, the decree would not count.

This made the courtiers even more indignant, and finally Zhu Cihong walked away, leaving the courtiers kneeling all over the ground, and broke up unhappy.

But the indignation is the indignation, and the matter still needs to be resolved. The reform of the Beijing camp can be regarded as a palliative measure by agreeing to the emperor, but the imperial examination must not be moved, even if it offends the emperor.

All the officials in the court have always been the role models for the world, and today's son is equivalent to denying Confucius and Confucian classics. Such chaos not only makes them ugly, but also shames Confucius.

Offending the emperor is at most a temporary displeasure. If you offend the scholars in the world, you will be infamous forever.

"Everyone, don't worry, the old man will also see the Holy Majesty after the court today, but the Holy Majesty said that if there is something to persuade him to withdraw his will, he will not be seen.

Alas, the Holy Majesty is young, according to the old man, this matter may not be the Holy Majesty's idea. " Li Banghua, chief assistant of the cabinet, sighed.

Over the past few years, he has witnessed the miracles of Ming Dynasty, and has been silently supporting the late emperor and even today's emperor. As long as he is not too extreme, he has never disobeyed the emperor, but today's facts really make it hard for him to get off.

"Hmph, who else could it be? It must be the idea of ​​the king of Anguo County on the west mountain. This young man has always been arrogant and domineering, relying on the trust of the sage. The scholars all over the world are trampled under their feet. Is it tolerable or unbearable? We have all inherited the teachings of Confucius and Mencius before we have this official status. If we really let him go, what face will we have? What will be the face of the scholars in the world? What will be the face of Confucius ?
This matter, even if the old man dies, he will never give in! "Fang Yuegong, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, said loudly.

If Fang Yuegong can't guess who is the instigator at this time, then he is not fit to be in the cabinet. Although no one convened today's gathering, all the important officials in the court came to discuss it, except for the Minister of Rites, Han Yu, who did not come.

Although this Han Yu seldom interacted with them on weekdays, he was the King of Anguo County who had a pair of eyes in the court hall.

Why didn't Han Yu come to explain?To be a thief with a guilty conscience, to act in collusion!
"Four chiefs, although the king of Anguo County is young, Daming has made great contributions to having this son today. Although the reform of the imperial examination system was done by Meng Lang, it should be due to..."

"Master Meng, the King of Anguo County claims to be your nephew, and he entered the court through you, so you naturally spoke for him." Fang Yuegong interrupted Meng Zhaoxiang before he could finish speaking, with an extremely tone of voice. bad.

"Fourth Chief, what are you talking about? Although the old man knows him well, he hasn't moved around much in the past few years. What's more, the old man reads the books of sages and sages, and he acts honestly. I can still tell which is right and which is not! "Meng Zhaoxiang was very angry when he heard this.

"Since we can tell the difference, why don't you go to persuade your nephew? Instead, he came to join us. Could it be that he sent you to investigate us?" Fang Yuegong blew his beard and stared, his fingers almost It hit Meng Zhaoxiang's face.

"You..." Meng Zhaoxiang stood up and trembled with anger.

"Okay, okay, you two, don't be impatient, it's messing up your own position, and calm down. We need to discuss this matter in the long term." Li Banghua saw that the two were talking more and more fiercely, so he naturally refused to sit idly by.

"That's right, the plan now is to find a way to get the Holy Majesty to take back his order. As long as the Holy Majesty agrees, even the Anguo County King is absolutely impossible to disobey the order. You two should not hurt your peace." Zhang Tianlu got up and stopped Meng Zhaoxiang wanted to persuade him to return to his seat.

Meng Zhaoxiang and Fang Yuegong were former ministers of the former emperor, and they had always been at odds with Zhang Tianlu's Donggong faction. If he had been happy to see the two fighting each other before, it would be best if they could fight hard.

But today's matter still needs to reach an agreement with the old ministers. If there is no charter, he will mess up first, which is not what he wants to see.

"Hmph! Go discuss it on your own, and save someone's embarrassment!" Meng Zhaoxiang put his face on his cold ass, and was naturally dissatisfied with Li Banghua's remarks, so he walked away after speaking.

"This..." Zhang Tianlu got bored and was left on the spot.

"Your Majesty Zhang, you don't need to be persuaded. You just leave. I am ashamed to be with him. We will discuss it ourselves." Fang Yuegong said again.

Seeing that the matter had come to this point, everyone had no choice but to give up, and a group of people sat down again and began to discuss.

However, they all know how powerful the king of Anguo County is now, not only the regent of the dynasty, but also the commander in chief of the world's soldiers and horses in charge of the world's military power, coupled with the trust of the emperor in him, with their current strength, they can't help others at all. There was a moment of silence in the room.

"Why don't we write a book and pass it on to Xiangshan Tongshe, Zhexi Wenshe, Jiangxi Zeshe, etc., and spread our ambitions to the world. Doesn't the Holy Majesty intend to skip the cabinet's decree?

I'll just wait for the Holy Majesty! "Ni Yuanlu, Minister of the Household Department and a scholar of the Jianji Temple, was silent for a while and spoke.

The king of Anguo County perversely intends to overthrow the supreme sage of Confucianism, and the sage followed him in vain, regardless of the civil and military wishes of the Manchu Dynasty. If the sages in the world know this in advance, the scholars all over the world will naturally be their greatest reliance.

If everyone in the world opposes this move, would the Holy Majesty still dare to turn a deaf ear to it?
