Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 351 Please seal
What Zhu Youjian and others didn't expect was that it was Zhang Guowei, Minister of Rites who spoke again.

This fellow was just slapped in the face by Shoufu, why did he jump out again?Don't you think it's too late for you to die?

"Something is coming!"

Under the gloating eyes of the ministers, Zhu Youjian said expressionlessly, without any emotion in his tone.

"Qizuo Shengshang, Kong Xingxie, the eldest son of Yan Shenggong, has repeatedly written to the Ministry of Rites, saying that he is asking the next generation of Yan Shenggong to inherit the title, and the cousin who asked for the title has been submitted to the imperial court for more than a month; the position of Yan Shenggong It is the benchmark of my teaching, and its long-term vacancy may cause disputes among scholars and cause panic among scholars all over the world. This matter is related to the rise and fall of education in the world, and the support of scholars. It is really an important matter for several people. Immediately issue an order to give him the title of successor, so as to put the hearts of scholars in the world at ease!"

It has been more than a few months since Kong Yanvegetation was drowned by Jin Yiwei, and his eldest son Kong Xingxie went to the court two months ago, requesting that the canonization of Xijue be completed as soon as possible.

The Ministry of Rites had already forwarded Kong Xingxie's invitation to the palace, but up to now there has been no response from the palace.

However, Kong Xingxie mistakenly thought that it was the reason that he hadn't managed it properly. After asking several famous scholars to write letters to several important court officials, he sent his cronies to Beijing, and asked Zhang Guowei and others to mention this matter when they were interviewed with great courtesy. Seek to take over the position of Fengyan Shenggong as soon as possible.

After Zhang Guowei accepted the 2000 taels of silver and several antique calligraphy and paintings sent by the Kong family, he bypassed the Tongzheng Secretary in the name of the Ministry of Rites and directly wrote a copy to the emperor, explaining the importance of the Duke of Yansheng and Kong Xingxie's succession to the throne. The legitimacy of the law is listed among them, and the emperor is requested to grant the title as soon as possible, so as not to arouse the dissatisfaction of Shilin Qingyi.

Unexpectedly, after Buben entered the palace, there was still no response.

Entrusted by others, loyal to others.

Although Zhang Guowei knew that his future was not good, but in order to win a good reputation among scholars and leave some contacts for his descendants, after being slapped twice by Wen Tiren in a row, he bit the bullet and stood up again. mention it.

"As far as I know, the Confucian family used the name of Yan Shenggong to do various illegal things in the village. For nearly 200 years, they used methods such as plundering and coercion to buy people's good land for their own at times of natural disasters and man-made disasters. During the period, there were even suspicions of hurting people and killing lives. According to investigations, there are thousands of hectares of fields under the name of Yanshenggong Mansion, and all of them are fertile irrigated fields, most of which were originally owned by local farmers. After buying, the grain produced is also hoarded by him, and sold at a high price to seek unrighteous profits when the grain is in short supply! These behaviors are completely contrary to the sage's metaphor of profit and righteousness. These behaviors have deviated from the original intention of the sage. Nobility? I think that the northern sect of the Confucian family lacks a great deal of fame and righteousness. Compared with the southern sect of the Confucian family, they should repent and introspect before they can say the rest! There is no need to mention this matter again! I make my own decision!"

Zhu Youjian refuted Zhang Guowei's request with a cold face,

The details of Kong Xingxie's sending people to Beijing to give gifts to Jin Yiwei had already been reported to the palace, but Zhu Youjian didn't take it seriously, it was useless for anyone to accept the gifts, and he threw aside some of the inscriptions that mentioned this matter.

He just waited for someone to stand up and speak publicly to the Confucian family, publicize the scandal of the Confucian family, and expose the greedy and shameless true face of the Northern Sect of the Confucian family to the world, so as to combat the ugly faces of those fake Confucianists and real villains.

Once the scandal of the Confucian family is exposed, it will definitely lead to controversy and criticism of the Confucian family among scholars, and it will also cause the world to redefine how the Confucian classics serve as the standard of personal self-cultivation.

In the end, he re-established the Confucian standards in the name of the imperial court, promoted the new Confucianism in the Ming Dynasty, and took benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness as the most basic Confucian principles to restrain more people's words and deeds.

Zhu Youjian believes that his remarks today will soon be spread, and when the time comes, Jin Yiwei will take the opportunity to secretly fuel the flames, and after presenting some real evidence to support the evidence, it will be enough for the world's wise people to use doubts If we look at Confucianism from the perspective of Confucianism, the Confucianism interpreted by Confucianism will also become a topic of discussion among scholars.

As long as there is doubt, Zhu Youjian does not intend to completely negate Confucianism, but just wants to get rid of its dross and keep its essence.But this will be a protracted event, and Zhu Youjian doesn't have much energy to participate in it, so I will leave it to Lao Wen to deal with it. I believe he will be happy to take the blame for himself.

Zhang Guowei sat down with an embarrassing face, and a strong sense of frustration rose from his heart.

No matter what the Kong family did, it had nothing to do with him. He just wanted to use this opportunity to gain some personal gain, and the emperor's impatience towards him made him feel desperate.It seems that my days in the capital can be counted down, but what makes Zhang Guowei puzzled is that no matter how hard he tries, the emperor just looks down on him. What is the reason for this?

"Report~~~Report to the emperor! The emergency military situation outside the pass has been delivered!"

At this moment, a young eunuch outside the hall rushed into the hall holding a red lacquered wooden box and knelt down loudly.

Wang Chengen hurried over to take the wooden box, and the little eunuch bowed and retreated outside the hall.

"Wen Qing, Yang Qing, Sun Qing, and Chen Qing stay, and the rest of you go back to the headquarters to handle official business!"

Following Zhu Youjian's order, except for the few people who were named and stayed, the inner and outer courts, including Luo Yangxing, withdrew from the hall after saluting.

After checking that the seal of the wooden box had not been moved, Wang Chengen folded the beeswax on the seal with fire and melted it. He opened the wooden box and took out the memorial inside and handed it to Zhu Youjian.

The content of Hong Chengchou's memorial was not much, Zhu Youjian took a look at the letter paper and was slightly taken aback for a while, then showed a thoughtful expression.

After a while, several people in the hall read the report, and Wang Chengen took it back and put it on the imperial case.

"Let's have a discussion, gentlemen. Although we don't know the reason for this matter, it is indeed beneficial and harmless to the imperial court. So is there any place for us to use here? Ladies and gentlemen, you may wish to consider it carefully! Companion, Go and give an order, I will leave a few gentlemen for lunch today!"

After Zhu Youjian said a few words with a smile, he turned his head and said to Wang Chengen. Wang Chengen hurriedly nodded in response, and then went to the gate of the back hall to call a little eunuch to give some instructions, and the little eunuch rushed away immediately.

Seeing that all the ministers were frowning and thinking, a young eunuch in the hall gently refilled the tea for the big brothers.

Zhu Youjian didn't urge everyone, but stood up, stretched his waist, and moved his legs and feet.

Before I knew it, it was the end of the hour, and I did feel a little tired after sitting for so long.

In the past few years, I have been busy with various things and lacked enough exercise. As a result, my energy sometimes feels exhausted. It seems that I need to be more active in the future.

Zhu Youjian's move of stretching his arms and curling his legs just happened to be noticed by Wang Chengen who came back. Wang Chengen trotted up to him and asked in a low voice: "My lord, are you tired? This matter will be scary for a while. Even a few bachelors can't think of a good way, why don't you go to the harem to rest for a while, the old slave will accompany a few bachelors to meditate here, and when the imperial meal is ready, you and the few bachelors have eaten the meal before discussing the matter How are things going?"

"My companion has a heart. I just wake up with nothing to relax. It's still early for dinner, so let's wait a little bit! By the way, companion, has the family been settled properly?"

Zhu Youjian asked in a low voice with a smile.

As early as the year before last, he asked Wang Chengen to adopt one of his nephews, so that he could inherit the incense and at the same time bring his name back on the family tree.

You must know that although Wang Chengen has a high position and authority, he is an eunuch who has no descendants after all. Because of his family's extinction, no matter how many officials you have, you will be removed from the genealogy. The humiliation of the ancestors has become a long-term concern for Wang Chengen.

"Returning to the emperor, the old slave's nephew has already entered the capital a few days ago, and has now moved into the house that the old slave bought for him in Dongcheng; when there is an auspicious day, the old slave will hold a kowtow banquet, and from then on The old slave is also a person who has a child of his own!"

At this moment, Wang Chengen's face was radiant, and his usually stooped body straightened up, and his tone was full of pride and relief.

　Thanks to the book friends, I am my persistence, and the rewards from the book friends that no one has used this account. I also thank all the friends who subscribed, voted, collected and commented.Pushing a book for an author (traveling through Daming to become Chongzhen), this is a request from a friend in the writers group. I have already quit the writers group yesterday, which is of no benefit and distracts my energy.I found that there are many novels written on the theme of the Ming Dynasty, but those who wrote about Chongzhen all hit the street without exception, including me.I hope this new Chongzhen book will become popular and help us write about Chongzhen.
