My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 149 Death List
Xu Jingchang delivered a fatal blow to all the civil servants present. Many of them had bloodshot pupils and gnashed their teeth.

Let you be superior, let you think you are superior... But you have forgotten that if it weren't for Huaixi's mud legs, who went forward and fought bravely, conquered the Great Tomorrow and drove away the Great Yuan Dynasty, you would still succumb to the iron hoof of the Great Yuan Next, to be a ninth-class slave is not even as good as a prostitute.

Do you still have the face to look down on the poor?

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, scholars, are they really that great?
"You, you are disregarding Gangchang, you are so gentle, you, you are the courtesy of no one!"

Song Li, who was facing Xu Jingchang's critical attack, had already broken his defenses, and began to attack personally directly, speaking incoherently.

Xu Jingchang smiled unabated, "Song Shangshu, the three cardinal guides and the five constant rules, there is no one saying that scholars are the guideline for the people, right? I don't read much, but I also know that gratitude is a good character advocated by the ancient sages and sages... The founders of the country expedition to the Central Plains and regained the capital. Only then did the Ming Dynasty come into being. You are officials of the Ming Dynasty, and the country is kind to you!"

Song Li's eyes were red, and he roared angrily: "We, we have received His Majesty's favor, not your Xu family's favor... Even if King Zhongshan is resurrected, I dare not be so arrogant!"

Hey!
In an instant, Xu Huizu rushed out, his eyes spit fire, and glared at Song Li.

Well, you bastard, how dare you slander your late father?
Song Li was also confused by anger. After he finished speaking, he also felt that he had slipped his words and was immediately at a loss.

On the contrary, Xu Jingchang calmed down and said calmly: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, serving the country is a loyal monarch, and my ancestor's grandfather was only following the imperial edict of the Taizu Emperor. It's just that recovering Dadu and restoring the old land of Yanyun is not a matter of one person. All meritorious ministers should be recognized..."

After a pause, Xu Jingchang said again: "Song Shangshu's separation of monarchs and ministers seems to be inferior. Could it be that you are really a member of the Nishan Confucianism Association?"

"You're talking nonsense!" Song Li was so anxious that his forehead was sweating, he was ashamed and angry... To be true, he was so instigating, it was tantamount to saying that people in the world only knew Xu Da, but not His Majesty, it was not wise to be true.

However, this method is also commonly used by civil servants. For example, in the history of the Ming Dynasty, there were people who only knew about Liu Jin, but not His Majesty, who was nine thousand years old, and Emperor Tianqi... Not to mention, it seems that the effect is good.

But facing Xu Jingchang, it's not enough to watch.

The sentence that the monarch and his ministers are one, serve the country and be loyal to the emperor, beat back his attack.

And by the way, Nanishan Hongru would tease Song Li.

Did you see it?

If you want to separate the relationship between the monarch and his ministers, and separate Confucianism from the emperor, you have to use this method, and you are not enough.

It doesn't make sense, you can't win the bickering, and you are ridiculed for your IQ... Song Li turned out to be the biggest loser today.

Let you stand out, so I ask you where to put this old face?
"Stop arguing."

Zhu Di spoke slowly, the matter has come to this point, it is true that the emperor needs to stand up.Otherwise, if it continues, civil and military fights, it will not be good to spread the word.

"After thinking about it carefully, the Confucian officials in the Hongwu Dynasty really did not think carefully, so they were led by the Tongzheng Envoy Xie Xueshi to re-draft and make up for the shortcomings. As for the construction of the heroic ancestral hall in Beiping, this matter is unusual. , is the most important thing at the moment. Let the prince take the lead to get this matter done."

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly said: "My son and minister will accept the decree, and they must live up to the holy will of the father."

Zhu Di nodded, and said again: "Mr. Ding Xu Jingchang, although your remarks are reasonable, but in the Golden Palace, it is too much to be so presumptuous. I will punish you to think behind closed doors for a month, are you convinced?"

Xu Jingchang hurriedly said: "I am convinced, I am very convinced, and I am convinced."

Zhu Di put his eyes on Kong Yi again, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Kong, as the descendants of saints, you have encountered turmoil and been exiled among the people, and you know the sufferings of the people. If this revision is inappropriate, you are indispensable for the construction of the ancestral hall for heroes." help. How about you live in the Rongguo public office, how about it?"

Zhu Di asked in a negotiating tone...but Kong Yi could tell that he was not allowed to refuse at all, and he couldn't refuse either.

What happened to Nan Kong really prevented them from fully standing with the scholar-bureaucrats.

When we first left, we never thought that there would be such a big commotion... If we had known earlier, we would not have come.

Kong Yi was helpless and kowtowed to thank him.

Zhu Di was satisfied, "We discussed a lot today, everyone went back to rest, and I will reward you later."

It was really getting late, the officials dispersed, and the civil servants were furious, or gathered together to discuss a solution, or gritted their teeth, trying to deal with the culprit, Xu Jingchang.

But they looked at Xu Jingchang's side and were immediately discouraged.

Zhu Neng, the Duke of Cheng, Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao, protected Xu Jingchang like the Second General Hengha, Xu Huizu, Duke of Wei, Qiu Fu, Duke of Qi, and many nobles surrounded Xu Jingchang, not to mention Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han.

I really can't beat it!

These people can only leave in a hurry and find another way.

And Xu Jingchang didn't stay too long, and hurried back home.

The rest dispersed, but Xu Huizu did not leave.

The two of them got together, which was somewhat awkward.

There were even rumors outside that it was Xu Huizu who killed Xu Zengshou in righteousness... In fact, Xu Huizu was still leading the army outside at that time, not in the capital.It is true that he has been wronged.

But after all, brothers choose differently, and now facing a brother's son, the uncle can't help but feel cramped... "You, don't blame your majesty for punishing you. In fact, your majesty asked you to stay in the mansion, so that no crazy person would treat you unfavorable."

Xu Jingchang laughed loudly, "How can I not understand... I'm just curious now, if the incident in the Golden Palace today is spread, what effect will it have?"

Xu Huizu was stunned for a while, and smiled helplessly, "I can't say it well, I can only say, I'm afraid the sky will collapse."

Xu Huizu thought about it for a while, and sighed with emotion, "I never thought that you would be able to achieve such a future, and the Xu family has successors, it is really God's blessing."

Xu Jingchang smiled, "Is it still God?"

Xu Huizu took a deep breath, it was true.

"You have cut off the roots of Confucianism. From now on, you must be careful, and you must not be careless to avoid accidents."

Xu Huizu brought it up for the second time, not because he was rambling, but because it was true and the situation was a bit serious.

After sorting it out a little, you can see how much trouble Xu Jingchang has caused today... First of all, it is the problem of Nankong. If this family is taken out, the Confucius mansion will be divided.

The old events of Beikong's kneeling of the Jin and Yuan dynasties are also on the table.

As the banner of Confucianism, it was not only torn to shreds, but also spit out by the way.

Did you say you offended someone?

Of course, compared with the next behavior, this is considered mild.

The Dianxing Blessing that Song Lian and others painstakingly worked out was also overthrown by Xu Jingchang, which is tantamount to the 30-year hard work of Confucian officials in vain.

He advocated that the root of the Ming Dynasty was to expel the Hulu and restore China, which also shook the Confucian destiny cycle.

Respecting warriors and thinking of them as benefactors of civil servants is tantamount to tearing off the face of the entire scholar-bureaucrat...

Moreover, if his theory is established, it is bound to shake the theory of the interaction between heaven and man since the Han Dynasty.

It can only be said that Xu Jingchang destroyed everything that could be destroyed, overturned everything that could be overthrown, and offended everything that could be offended.

To what extent has this matter reached?

Even Zhu Di told him to avoid disaster at home and not to go out.

Otherwise, if something really happens, it will be troublesome.

And not only the visible courtiers, but also so many invisible forces, for example... Nishan Hongru Association!

On the second day when Xu Jingchang was at home, Zhu Gaosui came.

"My dear brother, are you afraid of death?"

Xu Jingchang frowned, what do you mean?
Want to test my mettle?
"As the Duke of Ming Dynasty and a role model of honor, I must be brave and fearless, not afraid of death... Putting life and death aside, I am ready to die for the country at any time, and dedicate my limited life to the supreme Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Gaosui looked at his little cousin very seriously, and admired sincerely: "You are so good, you are so brave. I am so impressed now. If I knew that someone was going to assassinate me, I would never have the guts."

"Wait a minute." Xu Jingchang stopped him, "What did you say?"

"I didn't say anything, but the people below me received several lists."

"What list? Could it be?"

"It is to assassinate you." Zhu Gaosui said.

Xu Jingchang swallowed, and his heart beat inexplicably accelerated... "How many copies did you receive? Who are they?"

Zhu Gaosui thought for a while, "I only got a dozen copies for the time being, but no matter which one you are ranked first, you are far ahead...Everyone's name is black, but you are red. It is said I have made up my mind, anyone can let it go, but you will never forgive, and you will definitely die."

Xu Jingchang swallowed again, "That...you know, I'm sure I won't be intimidated by such groundless rumors, maybe this is someone's prank, don't take it seriously. Don't you think so?"

Zhu Gaosui nodded vigorously, "That's right, that's how I see it, and one of these ten may not be true. Besides, this is the Ming Dynasty, not the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. Who wants to be Jing Ke?"

Xu Jingchang nodded, "That's right, that's what it means. Those who have no grievances or enmity, what's the point? I'm just talking, and there's no real benefit to moving those people, right?"

Zhu Gaosui nodded, and then said: "Brother, I heard that Chen Ying has written a letter, admonishing that the preferential treatment for scholars should be cancelled, especially the benefits given according to their merits. At least the fact that scholars have two slaves should be cancelled... After all, it is ungrateful for scholars to enslave ordinary people!"

Xu Jingchang was stunned, and then said: "This is also the truth, and scholars should understand this truth. They have already taken such a big advantage, and they should get it back now. They won't be able to get along with me just because of this, right Bar?"

"Yes!" Zhu Gaosui nodded vigorously, "I also believe that most people still understand the truth. Even if there are a few people with bad brains occasionally, they can't help you. Don't worry!"

Xu Jingchang nodded, but his heart beat faster than before, yes, what if he meets a lunatic?
At this moment, someone rushed over suddenly, and it was Zhu Yong who came, his face flushed when he saw Xu Jingchang, and he said, "No, someone poisoned Bachelor Jie. Let me remind you, be careful!"

Xu Jingchang: "..."
