My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 106
What else to do?

Zhu Di issued a soul torture.

Yao Guangxiao pondered for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to say, but I feel it is inappropriate to say it, and I don't want to say it, but it is quite suitable for the occasion."

Zhu Di smiled and said, "Young master, we are called monarchs and ministers, but we are actually friends. Master, what do you have to say, it is not convenient to say it?"

Yao Guangxiao pondered again and again, and sighed: "Your Majesty, in fact, the country is governed by scholars and civil servants. The real intention is to let the country die slowly...."

Slow...die?
Zhu Di was furious, and said angrily: "Master, what are you talking about? Is a country born to seek death? So, what's the use of using civil servants? Just find a dog, they are better than them."

Yao Guangxiao smiled wryly, and said helplessly, "Your Majesty, if you use someone else, you will die suddenly!"

In a word, Zhu Di was speechless.

He looked serious and wanted to get angry, but he didn't know what to say... In the end, there was only a long sigh left.

These words have touched the root.

If Yao Guangxiao hadn't helped Zhu Dijing to succeed, he wouldn't have dared to say that.

Since ancient times, there have been no dynasties that last forever. The difference is that they die sooner or later.

But according to experience, the forces that can assist the emperor and govern the country are nothing more than the clan, relatives, eunuchs, military officials, and scholar-bureaucrats.

Among them, the chaos of the clan, whether it is the chaos of the seven kingdoms or the chaos of the eight kings, all prove that the clan is unreliable.As the clan, the representative who seeks to seize the throne is Zhu Di himself.If it weren't for his deep understanding, Zhu Di wouldn't be so active in cutting down the feudal clan.

Needless to say, relatives and eunuchs, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, it was these two groups of people who took over the country alternately, making the Han Dynasty a mess.

As for the military officials, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms...these painful lessons are simply not too many. After calculation, scholar-bureaucrats are considered the least bad kind of power.

Although they seize power, they will not directly challenge the imperial power; although they love money, they still pay attention to a sustainable depletion of resources.

It will not turn the common people against them all at once.

You can scold scholar-bureaucrats all you want, but it is really not easy to replace them.

Die slowly, die suddenly...you choose one!

Zhu Di fell into a long silence...

Almost at the same time, Xu Jingchang also came to the Secretary of General Affairs again, and Jian Yi gave him the middle seat, and then he led the six nine ministers, all of whom sat opposite Xu Jingchang, as if the six major factions were besieging Guangmingding .

Xie Jin didn't dare to sit with Xu Jingchang, so he could only tilt his seat slightly to show his distinction from the others, and then bowed his head silently without saying a word.

Xu Jingchang's Golden Palace was not afraid of them, and at this moment, naturally they were even less afraid.

"Jian Tianguan, Xia Shangshu, and you all, oppose the entry of the master into the court, and oppose the appointment of someone with expertise as an official. I understand your thoughts... When these people enter the court, you can't hide your bastards. When the time comes, how many people will be able to escape safely? Without professional talents, no one will be able to understand your details, and if no one understands, you will be in peace. Am I right?"

Jian Yi's face was sullen, he didn't say a word, he just glared.

Xia Yuanji gritted his teeth, "Mr. Ding, you are so disgusting. Being an official in the same dynasty is like riding on the same boat. When the wind and waves are together, no one can sit steadily!"

Xu Jingchang said indifferently: "I am no longer the general manager. If you want to remove my official position, just do it. Anyway, I don't care."

Really, the official position is taken away casually, anyway, I still have a hereditary title, and my official position was given by His Majesty, can you really make Zhu Di bow his head?
Like a joke!
Xu Jingchang was full of confidence and didn't care.

At this time, Jian Yi said quietly, "Mr. Ding, you advocate the rule of the country with specialists, that's very good! Do you also want to use specialists to lead the army and fight wars?"

Xu Jingchang was taken aback, "Jian Tianguan, what do you mean?"

"It's nothing!" Jian Yi said with a chuckle, "Since the matter is irreparable, let's break the pot and smash it. We immediately wrote a letter requesting that His Majesty directly promote soldiers with military exploits as generals and abolish the hereditary noble generals! What do you think?" Sample?"

Such an official Jian Tian finally revealed his trump card.

If you dig our foundation, I will dig your ancestral grave.

Don't you think civil servants are unprofessional? We also think hereditary honor is inappropriate.

Come on, hurt each other!
Xu Jingchang moved his butt subconsciously, and then said: "I am still young, and I don't want to lead the army, nor do I want to be hereditary. Anyway, I don't care if you do whatever you want."

Jian Yi said quietly: "Duke Ding is really extraordinary...but other people may not be as open-minded as you, right?"

These words reveal awe-inspiring murderous intent, which is also where Jian Yi's confidence lies.

You, Xu Jingchang, don’t care if you drag all the nobles into the water, but there are also Cao Guogong Li Jinglong, Cheng Guogong Zhu Neng, Qi Guogong Qiu Fu, and so many marquises... Let’s tear our skins, even if it comes to His Majesty, civil and military They all oppose your proposal, Xu Jingchang, even if His Majesty wants to support you, he will not risk the displeasure of the world.

The skill of this trick cannot be achieved without 20 years.

The courtiers, who were still angry at first, were overjoyed when they saw Xu Jingchang's slight change of color, as if they drank Kaiselu, it was a joy.

Your kid also knows to be afraid, great!

Xu Jingchang looked at Jian Yi and raised his eyebrows. He didn't really care about the title, but there was a problem. Once the nobles and civil servants teamed up, it would be difficult for him to win no matter what.

Since the chances of winning are not great, there is no need to continue entanglement.

Xu Jingchang, on the other hand, has superb driving skills, and he turns when he says he wants to turn.

"Jian Tianguan, even if you don't directly recruit masters into the imperial court, you must reform the imperial examination! Don't tell me that adding content will not work. After all, Emperor Taizu listed the imperial edict as a compulsory examination in the imperial examination. Don't you Do you think His Majesty's determination will be lower than Emperor Taizu's?"

Jian Yi still had a sullen face, he had suppressed Xu Jingchang's arrogance, so there was no need to talk nonsense.

Song Li said from the side: "Mr. Ding, our Ministry of Rites has thought about it, and we can make these three books compulsory for the county school. What do you think?"

"No way!" Xu Jingchang was furious. The county school was the lowest in the imperial examination, and it was also the most lax in the examination... According to the meaning of the Ministry of Rites, it was probably the physical education class in high school.

There is, but that's all.

"Are you not afraid of His Majesty's wrath if you are so perfunctory?" Xu Jingchang sneered, "I don't care, can you?"

Realizing that this group of people were playing rogues and dragging all the nobles into the water, Xu Jingchang also played a rogue. Anyway, I have my aunt to protect me, so I can't die no matter how hard I try. If you are not convinced, then let me come here!
At this moment, Jian Yi sighed heavily: "Mr. Ding, now, what are you going to do before you stop?"

Xu Jingchang thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Jian Tianguan, and colleagues, to be honest, I started running the school last year and recruited so many young people. After a year, they have graduated one after another. At least I have to arrange a place for them. Way out?"

"No!" Song Li immediately retorted, "Mr. Dingguo, the civil servants who came from the imperial examinations were all ten-year-old, and they all studied the teachings of Confucius and Mencius. We know exactly what you have learned in your so-called school. There are not enough of them to participate. Qualifications for the imperial examination. If they are allowed to participate in the imperial examination, there will be an uproar among scholars, and I would rather resign than agree!"

The other ministers looked at it and nodded.

Xia Yuanji said bluntly: "Let your students take the imperial examination and enter the court as officials... You want to train an Xu family army! At that time, the civil and military courtiers will all be yours. Duke Ding, you have a big plan , put your heart into it!"

Xu Jingchang rolled his eyelids, "Xia Yuanji, don't be so weird here, did I tell them to take the imperial examination?"

Xia Yuanji was stunned for a moment, "Then what are you going to do?"

"It's very simple. It is to get the approval of the Ministry of Rites, to list my school as an official school, and then to issue a skill certificate to the students who successfully complete their studies, that's all!"

"No!" Song Li still categorically refused, "Dingguo Gong, I advise you, don't have any unreasonable thoughts, become an official school, and return to the official document. The next step is to take the imperial examination. How can we allow you to spend less money every day?" Moon cut, step by step?"

The Minister of Rites did not study national etiquette, but changed his career to pondering the art of war.

At this moment, Xu Jingchang is like a greedy tyrant Qin, facing the six countries huddled together, using land to serve Qin, like fighting a fire with salary, anyway, we can't agree.

By now, the cards of both sides have been revealed... Xu Jingchang used those three books to win a name for his school and pave the way for the next thing.

In order to protect the interests of the civil servants in the imperial examination, the courtiers did not back down.

There is no point in talking about it now, so we can only break up unhappy.

Xu Jingchang went back to Xu Mansion alone.

Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji looked at each other, "How about it, what are the chances of winning?"

"Should be seventy percent, after all Young Master Yao is on our side." Jian Yi said slowly.

With Yao Guangxiao, it is enough to offset Xu Jingchang's relative advantage,
In the end, he became the leader of Biren. With so many of us, how can we still be afraid of you?

Xia Yuanji nodded, "Alright, since that's the case, then let's grit our teeth and hold on. No matter what, we can't let Xu Jingchang succeed!"

The two of them discussed it properly, but at this moment, someone suddenly sent a message that His Majesty left the palace and went to the Xu Mansion.

Immediately, the hearts of the two of them hung up. It's broken. Your Majesty won't be persuaded by Xu Jingchang, right?
……

"Master Yao told me some things. It seems that making civil servants useless is the essence of governing the country. It sounds absurd, but if you think about it carefully, if they are superior and wield great power, wouldn't they become Wang Mang Cao Cao? The emperor can't control it!" Zhu Di said lightly, holding Xu Jingchang's usual fishing rod in his hand.

The monarch and his subjects faced the pond and chatted casually.

Xu Jingchang said: "Your Majesty is also worried that you won't be able to control it?"

Zhu Di chuckled and said: "The method of provoking generals is useless. If everyone in the court opposes it, there is nothing I can do."

"Then Your Majesty will be willing for me, Daming, to follow Zhao Song's old path?"

Zhu Di snorted coldly and said: "Zhao Song has no bones. He bent his knees and barbarians slaughtered Zhongliang. He didn't even regain Yanyun. This is simply a disgrace of all ages! My Ming Dynasty swept away the Yuan court, restored the Han family's rivers and mountains, won the country's righteousness, and went straight to three generations. Can you be as cowardly and shameless as Zhao Song?"

Zhu Di then said: "I'm just worried that if I join the school of a hundred schools of thought, so many scholars will have learned a whole lot of skills but have nowhere to use them, and something will happen."

"So just find something for them to do." Xu Jingchang said simply.

Zhu Di hummed: "It's easy to say, but I really want to find them. What can they do?"

Xu Jingchang laughed loudly, "Your Majesty, you shouldn't ask me this! King Han has such a big business, lending money and weaving silk. He is in urgent need of talents. Not only King Han, but also King Zhao. The shipping department and Zheng He's fleet all need a large number of talents, isn't this the way out for scholars!"

Zhu Di said with a smile: "I know what you said, but how can those scholars who have passed the exams be willing to do these things? Even ordinary children, who can be teachers at home, will not come out to do things."

Xu Jingchang said: "So Your Majesty needs to give credit to those scholars who are willing to come out to do things!"

Zhu Di was very surprised, "What do you mean?"

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness has so many classmates, is it difficult for you to issue them a certificate to prove that they are from the Zhenger Eight Classics School?"

Zhu Di frowned slightly, and after a while, sighed: "It's still not easy, but I can do it!" Zhu Di's eyes became more determined.
