If I am not a Confucian saint, I will set off a revolution

Chapter 224 New Gift
Xun Shangshu thought that he had not discovered his thoughts.

However, Lin Ke had already noticed it.

If you are a dignified minister, why make the matter a big deal?
Just like he did in the beginning.

He never wanted to make a big deal out of it, after all, it was very troublesome!
Just afraid of trouble.

If the Murong family hadn't been chasing after him, he wouldn't have bothered to pay attention.

Where is Shangshu Xun?
Shangshu Xun should be taking care of everything.

After all, I just took over the Ministry of Etiquette, so it's pretty good to be able to sort things out within two or three years.

However, just for Lin Ke's words, Xun Shangshu came.

This is not only because Lin Ke is the thigh he wants to hold tightly, but also because coming to see Lin Ke is more important than what he is doing!

One whale falls and all things live!

After a whale dies, its huge carcass will be a feast for the surrounding marine life.

The same goes for the Ministry of Rites.

The Ministry of Rites, which has remained unchanged for hundreds of thousands of years, is all ruled by Lin Xuanji.

Lin Xuanji's demotion meant that many people in the Ministry of Rites lost their backers.

As the new Minister of Rites, Minister Xun must be coveting those positions.

If you don't put your own people in some important positions, how can they be used comfortably when the time comes?
At that time, as soon as his order was issued, Lin Xuanji received his order. Is this a big deal?
Moreover, there may be situations where there is a situation where there is a situation where there are policies but there are countermeasures.

What's more, not to mention other things, it would be great to just send a few relatives and friends to eat public food!

Therefore, many key and important positions were targeted by Xun Shangshu.

Change, must change!

But how to replace it becomes the problem.

The imperial court's network of relationships was complex, and without the repressive power of the Gentleman's Realm, Fang Shangshu would have struggled.

Not to mention other things, like Liu Jijiu, if he declared to be in seclusion, Xun Shangshu would probably have nothing to do with him.

But if you are in the Gentleman Realm, you can wake people up forcefully and without any harm, and force them out directly.

Of course, that's also immoral.

In addition, there are also the attacks and revenge of political opponents, the power of aristocratic families, the factions of various schools of thought, etc.

Shangshu Xun had too many things to consider when moving someone.

But that's for him.

What about Lin Ke?
The love of the Holy Emperor and Princess Tianchang, so many teachers behind them, plus the identities of Taoist and Buddhist disciples, and so many poems...

Not to mention moving a few people, it is estimated that even if the name of the Ministry of Rites is changed, no one will impeach him as mentioned above.

Therefore, Shangshu Xun was careful and made the matter bigger, just in time to seize the important position of offering wine in the Imperial College.

Unexpectedly, Lin Ke could see through his little thoughts at a glance.

Lin Ke is a person who has always been soft-spoken rather than tough-minded.

If you ask Lin Ke for help in a nice way, Lin Ke probably won't refuse.

But if you are careful, Lin Ke will not be happy.

Of course, he was unhappy, but Shangshu Xun was indeed one of his people.

He only reprimanded Xun Shangshu for a few words, but the core problem still lies elsewhere. "I was entrusted by the Holy Emperor to work with Xun Shangshu to pay attention to and work on changing the education system of our Great Wei Holy Dynasty..."

Lin Ke spoke loudly and told some things to the people around him.

Sometimes people's words can be scary.

At the very least, Lin Ke wants to tell the masses what he has done.

"And you..."

Lin Ke pointed at Liu Jijiu: "You are the waste created by the old ritual era!"

"This... Mr. Lin, when we first met, why are we talking so harshly to each other?" Liu Jijiu said angrily: "Although I am old, I have served as the Jijiujiu for 130 years and have never corrupted the imperial court. Why are you humiliating me?"

"Oh? Not a single bit of greedy ink?"

Lin Ke smiled coldly: "As a sacrificial wine, what I said is not that you have taught many young talents, nor that you have trained many local talents for the imperial court, but that you have not been greedy?"

"It seems that your focus is not on education, but on whether you are greedy or not?"

"I once heard that a good official can change the law and ask for money from the court, and all the money he gets will be invested in education."

"And an incompetent official, in order to avoid being impeached, does everything to keep his position, so he becomes jealous of feathers and only cares about his official position."

"Let me ask you, in your eyes, is it more important for you to stay in this position of offering wine, or is it more important for the students of the Imperial College to get a good education?"

Lin Ke's words were not fierce, but they made Liu Jijiu and Dr. Murong feel like they were being carried away.

Dr. Murong's expression was changing from one side to the other, but now a trace of cruelty flashed across his face.

"Mr. Lin, you keep talking about education. You never know how talented Liu Jijiu is compared to the young talents I educate, so you just insist that our education is not good. Is this too arbitrary?"

As a doctor of Guozi, he believed that he had taught some talents over the years.

"Teaching first educates people, don't you know this truth?" Lin Ke glanced at Dr. Murong: "What is your Murong family doing now, how is it any different from those beasts who don't know etiquette and justice?"

When the old woman heard this, she was so angry that she trembled all over: "You... you actually insulted my Murong family like this, I... I..."

"You, the Murong family, insulted me first and only allowed the state officials to set fires and not allowed the common people to light lamps?" Lin Ke laughed directly:
"Today, your grandson insulted me first in Xirang Pavilion. I was thinking about the lack of discipline of the child and didn't bother to pay attention. Then the shrew acted like a madman in public. You even broke up the carriage at the slightest disagreement. In addition, you are so disrespectful. I want my son to be exiled thousands of miles away and beheaded..."

"Do you, the Murong family, want to overturn today's new policy and return to the old etiquette of last year?!"

"I...I..." The old woman was speechless immediately.

Murong Mu's mother and son were also frightened so much that their faces turned pale.

The old etiquette was controlled by Lin Xuanji at that time, which was the system of honor and inferiority of three respects, six paths and nine streams.

Now, it has been rejected by the Holy Emperor.

How dare they, the Murong family?
If such a crime were laid, not to mention the Murong family, not even the Kong family, Lao Zhuang, Meng Mo and other aristocratic families could afford it.

"Our actions have nothing to do with the Murong family!" Dr. Murong made a decision immediately, knelt down and bowed to Lin Ke: "I know that I am in the wrong, and I alone bear all the responsibilities."

"You do have a decision." Lin Ke waved his hand: "Today's new etiquette requires not only putting aside one's identity and discussing matters, but also one's own responsibility for doing the work. There is no such thing as waiting for someone to help others..."

While Lin Ke was talking, Shangshu Xun's eyes lit up and he quickly took out a scroll and recorded Lin Ke's words.

New gift, what is new gift?
Xun Shangshu didn't dare to talk about it, and he didn't have much clue.

However, what Lin Ke said was different.

According to what those bald donkeys said, Lin Ke could bear the consequences of the new gift.
