My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 151

After Zhu Gaochi entered the palace, the news soon spread that Zhu Di decided to set up the Dongji Incident Factory, referred to as the Dongchang, whose duty was to covertly investigate evil rumors, treacherous evil...

The goal is very clear.

In history, Dongchang was officially established in the 18th year of Yongle. At that time, Ji Gang had been executed for treason.Zhu Di felt that the Jinyiwei outside the palace was not reliable anymore.

So choose the eunuchs around you to lead Dongchang and monitor the world.

But this time, it was because of the legendary Nishan Hongru Association, which was so powerful that it spread all over the world, and almost all the scholars were controlled by left and right.

You have to choose people who have nothing to do with them, so you can rest assured.

Sure enough, the eunuch Zhu Di chose as the admiral of the East Factory was called Yi Shiha, a Jurchen.

He was a prisoner in his early years, but because he was young, he was sent to the palace as a eunuch, and later he was assigned to the Yan Palace with Zheng He.

Yi Shiha followed Zhu Di in the battle, and made many military exploits in the battle of Jingnan.

He won Zhu Di's trust.

This person is an eunuch, and he is naturally hostile to scholars.

He is also from Haixi Jurchen, so no matter what, he has nothing to do with the Nishan Hongru Association.

If even he can be bribed, this Confucian society should not hide in the ground, just jump out, fight into Yingtian, and take the bird position.

After Yishiha became the factory supervisor, he was the first to visit Xu Jingchang.

Although as the first factory supervisor, his authority cannot be compared with those who came later... Moreover, even factory supervisors like Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian, if they meet Xu Jingchang, they will probably stop working.

However, Xu Jingchang didn't take it too seriously, on the contrary, he was very polite.

"Your Majesty's establishment of the East Factory has far-reaching intentions, and it is also a trust in those of you who are close to you. Protecting the emperor and investigating lawlessness, the burden on your shoulders is very heavy!"

Yi Shiha hurriedly bowed and said: "Thank you, Duke Ding, for your understanding. This servant is a worthless person, and this life is in the hands of the emperor. In order to protect the emperor, I would rather risk my life. Please, Duke Ding Don't worry, this servant must be loyal and will not dare to have any selfish thoughts."

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "No one will doubt your father-in-law's loyalty. We are all doing things for His Majesty. If there is anything you need to do, just say it, and I will do my best to help."

Hearing this, Ye Shiha was very happy... As the factory supervisor, besides a dozen or so little eunuchs, he had no one and no money.

No matter what you do, the first step is to ask for money and people, and Dongchang is no exception.

When Xu Jingchang heard this, he was very generous, and directly allocated a thousand households from Jinyi and handed it over to Dongchang... Then Xu Jingchang gave Yi Shiha an idea.

Jin Yiwei's roster expenses, let him hand it over to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households... This is not to say that Xu Jingchang saw this step at the time, but he didn't want to do dirty work. his expectations.

Now that Shiha has established the East Factory, Xu Jingchang is sure to be happy to see it succeed.

He requested that the Dongchang budget be put under the name of the inner court, and then in the name of the royal family of the guards, go to the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts, and the remaining part should be spent from the inner funds.

In other words, Dongchang seconded a thousand households from Jinyiwei, and this thousand households received their salary from the Ministry of War.Then, in the name of Suwei Palace, part of it was withdrawn from the treasury.

Then take out some special budgets from internal funds.

In this way, Dongchang has its own small treasury, which can develop eyeliner and handle affairs calmly.

Yishiha is here with Xu Jingchang, and he returns with a full load, overjoyed.

Now he has people and money, if he doesn't do some big things, he will be sorry for His Majesty Hong En, Duke Ding's cultivation!
These bastards are really bold, if they dare to assassinate Duke Ding today, what will they do tomorrow?

check!
Dongchang, as well as the original Jinyiwei, also took action.

Don't forget, Xu Jingchang is also the chief inspector of Jinyiwei. His big boss has been threatened, and if the people below do not make any noise, he is really ashamed of his trust.

With the joint efforts of the factory guards, a group of people were quickly locked down.

They are scholars who came to Beijing to rush for the exam. The second year of Yongle was the year of the Dabi, and Zhu Di announced that he would start Enke. It is very likely that within a year, there will be two exams.

Double chance, who can say no?

Therefore, candidates from all provinces came to Beijing one after another.

There are some people who live in poverty and travel expenses are difficult, so they secretly write manuscripts to make money... The story of the Hongru Society in Nishan was made up by these people with great efforts and heart.

Several masters among them are even better than the blue, and have achieved the great achievement of the second creation beyond the original.

They have included 2000 years of history into the system of the Nishan Hongru Society.

In a word, the history without Nishan Hongru Society is incomplete history.

Of course, there are those who are willing to write anything for just bad money, and those who are resentful.

For example, Zheng Xiu, the son from Pujiang.

Not long ago, he passed No.5 in the Zhejiang Provincial Examination, which is second only to Jiangxi in terms of intensity, and his grades are quite good.

It doesn't matter, Zheng Xiu looks very delicate.

Although he is not tall, his face is as white as jade, and his facial features are exquisite. He can be a master of women's clothing when he puts on a skirt.

You must know that appearance is very advantageous in the imperial examination, especially the imperial examination.

For example, Tanhua, who is ranked third, needs to have an extraordinary appearance. It cannot be said that he is earth-shatteringly handsome.

The imperial examination is a grand ceremony for the imperial court to select talents, and the selected talents are also decent for the country. They are not good-looking, or to put it in a bad way, which will affect the image of the country.

Like Xu Jingchang, who is tall and thin, it is very advantageous.

Of course, with his current reputation, not to mention the imperial examination, he couldn't even pass the exam for a scholar.

Apart from Xu Jingchang's type, Zheng Xiu's type belongs to the second class and has considerable advantages.

Good knowledge, good looks!
It doesn't matter, those who are familiar with Zheng Xiu also know that Zheng Xiu's foundation is deep.

In the ancestral hall of the Zheng family, there is a plaque of "the first family in the south of the Yangtze River" bestowed by Emperor Taizu.

Zheng's norms, because they are very in line with the requirements of Confucianism, have been widely respected. Many families have hidden a copy. According to the teachings above, they also want to be like the Zheng family.

With these things again, everyone said that Zheng Xiu is the hottest candidate this year, not the number one pick, but also Tan Hua Lang.

Therefore, many people gathered together, they sang poems, exchanged stereotyped writing, sharpened their knowledge, and were very happy.

However, as the rumors of the Nishan Hongru Society spread widely, and Nankong entered Beijing again, these scholars could no longer study quietly.

One of Zheng Xiu's fellow countrymen couldn't help complaining, "I just passed by the mansion of Marquis Changxing today, and found that a batch of white marble statues were being produced there, which belonged to the founding hero, among which King Xu Da of Zhongshan ranked first, and that statue, It’s so lifelike, so majestic.”

Zheng Xiu frowned, but still said: "The king of Zhongshan is indeed a famous general who founded the country, and his character and achievements are impeccable. It is only natural to build a statue for him."

But the fellow countryman let out a long sigh, and said with a chuckle: "Brother Zheng, I'm afraid I don't know. Not only are there statues over there, but there are also people who are preaching to passersby, saying that the warriors recovered Beiping and drove out the Hulu. They are everyone's great benefactors. Especially Damn it, they said it was Wufu who defended the superior status of the literati, otherwise they would continue to be the dog slaves of the Yuan Dynasty."

Upon hearing this, several scholars turned black.

They were not very old, they had just won the exam, and they were in high spirits, how could they hear such words, so they were all full of anger.

Zheng Xiu was equally angry, but he could still control it.

"Let's just say it, we are here to take the exam. We must first pass the Jinshi exam and become an official in the court, and then we can speak to the emperor and help the country."

The big guy listened patiently. Although he was not convinced, he also felt that it made sense.

"Who let us have no power! Just bear with it! When we are admitted to Jinshi and become officials, it will be fine."

But there are also some people who don't like to listen, and sarcastically said: "When you become an official, you will be even more reluctant to speak out when you have glory and wealth. When the time comes, you will be a traitor and say what you say."

These words angered these young scholars.

What do you mean?
Who do you look down on?
"We will do what we say, and it's hard to chase after a word. If someone doesn't believe it, they can make written evidence!"

"Right and stand, who is afraid of whom! As long as you are admitted to Jinshi, you must speak for your master and saint, and you can't let vulgar warriors be compared with saints! We disciples of Confucius and Mencius must not embarrass our ancestors."

These young scholars, filled with righteous indignation, signed and pledged one after another, and the atmosphere was enthusiastic.

Zheng Xiu was coerced, so she had no choice but to sign.

Counting him, there are a total of more than [-] scholars who wrote their names.

When Zheng Xiu walked to the inn where he lived, the cold wind blew, and his mind became cool.

broken!

Isn't this going to be a big deal!

My uncle has repeatedly told me that now we are strictly investigating the formation of cliques, especially scholars, we must be careful, and we must not let them be caught.

In the end, I was stupid and left my name. Isn't this a bad thing?
Without thinking about it, he hurried to the guild hall to get his autograph back.

But when he left and returned, the hall was already boiling.

The reason for the big guy to break the defense is just a simple picture!

This is a portrait of Confucius with kind eyes, just like the one in the Confucian Temple.

It's just that he is wearing a Mongolian robe, and what's even more wicked is that his hairstyle is also Mongolian. The top of his head is shaved, leaving a small piece in the front, and the sides are braided.

And there are two sentences written below: Wei Guanzhong, let your hair down!

The second sentence: Wei Xuda, so are scholars!

The defense was broken, the defense was completely broken.

This group of people is too hateful, dare to ruin Confucius, there is no kingly law!
"Everyone knows about Heaven, Earth, Monarch, Master, Master!"

A young student jumped onto the table and roared loudly, "Heaven overwhelms it, earth bears it, your parents and teachers have kindly nurtured, taught and cared for it... Master is the most holy teacher, the teacher of all ages, how can you allow them to ruin it like this! If you still have the backbone, come with me and settle accounts with them!"

At this time, there were still some people who still had reason, and persuaded them: "Don't be impulsive, I haven't found out yet, who did this, don't be reckless!"

The one who jumped the highest laughed sneeringly: "Who else could do it? It must be those who boasted for Xu Da. They destroyed Confucius, so we smashed Xu Da's god statue! They all touched their crotches and their eggs follow me!"

The atmosphere rose, and the crowd rushed out clamoring. Zheng Xiu who had just arrived was mixed with these people, and went straight to the Changxing Marquis Mansion.

At this moment, he still has a sliver of reason in his mind, so he won't implicate his uncle, right?
These people didn't know that when they dispatched, Jin Yiwei had already received the news and sent it to Dongchang.

Yishihana also followed Zhu Di on the front and rear of the horse, rushed to kill on the battlefield, and crawled out of the pile of dead people.

"Okay! Sure enough, there are scholars forming cliques for private interests. They are so arrogant under the emperor's feet. No wonder they threatened to assassinate Ding Guogong! It seems that there is really a Confucian society!"

Yi Shiha drew out his saber, and shouted at his subordinates, "Go, let's arrest the rebels with our family!"

He led two hundred brocade guards and rushed out aggressively...
