Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 514 Class
"I don't understand. Isn't it just to add a few candidates for the Duke of Yansheng?" In the internal teaching field of Xiyuan, Zhu Yujian took off his belt and frowned and said to Zhu Youjian beside him.

"Is it necessary to make such malicious assumptions? From my point of view, some scholars are just idle, and the court has been too used to them in the past. If you really want the people of the Kong family in Qufu to continue to inherit the title of Duke Yansheng, then Can’t we just wait for the court to announce the candidates and cast a vote for them in the public election?”

When talking about this, Zhu Yujian spread his arms, and several eunuchs bowed their heads and stepped forward to remove the mountain armor for Zhu Yujian.

"You can't say that."

Zhu Youjian also spread his arms and frowned slightly: "You have to understand that in the hearts of scholars all over the world, the status of Saint Kong is transcendent."

"Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only respected Confucianism, the status of Confucianism has been different, especially after the imperial examination was born and passed down to Zhao and Song Dynasties. During this period, too many things happened. What the emperor brother did, in a sense , is the same as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which is unprecedented."

"Isn't this a good thing?"

Zhu Yujian replied: "As for the things Kong Yinzhi did, let alone His Majesty, if it were to be spread throughout the world, I believe most people would be indignant."

"Is it possible to be like Zhao Song and say that he will rule the world with the scholar-bureaucrats? This king's law has nothing to do with them. There is no such truth in the world!"

"That's the biggest problem."

Zhu Youjian said: "Do you remember what the emperor said before? In the past dynasties, there have been too many people who used the name of Confucianism, but what they actually did was to mix things in."

Looking at the two people in front of him, Zhu Youxiao walked forward.

"My Zhu family belongs to the royal family of the Ming Dynasty, but the status of the Kong family cannot be shaken by anyone. Respecting Confucius means respecting Confucianism, and respecting Confucianism means respecting Confucius. Emperor Taizu and Emperor Gao..."

"Greetings to the Emperor!"

"For scholars all over the world, they can let the Confucius family in Qufu continue to inherit the title of Yanshenggong through the public election conducted by the court. This is even more convincing than in the past. After all, this is what they elected."

"Can the Kong family be compared with my Zhu family?"

"That's because someone is doing it on purpose!"

Zhu Youjian sighed lightly: "The reason why there are so many people opposed is that some people see that what the emperor wants to do is to break this cage."

Zhu Yujian snorted coldly.

"It's ridiculous, but it's reality."

Before Zhu Youjian finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhu Yujian, "What's more, the person I honor is the sage Kong, not the Kong family. Why do some violators of laws appear in the clan of my Zhu family?" Your Majesty can deal with the law, but you can’t do it when it comes to the Kong family?”

"ridiculous."

At this moment, a voice sounded, causing Zhu Yujian and Zhu Youjian to turn around.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!"

"If you don't study in Chongzhi Hall, why do you come to the inner teaching field?"

"They did this in an extremely secretive manner, using time as a precipitate, and then forming a rule. Everything the sages said is correct, and no one in the future can change it."

"But don't forget, one term is six years, and one person can only be re-elected twice. This means that variables will occur. If someone other than the Kong family in Qufu or the Kong family in Quzhou takes over, things will get serious. .”

Zhu Youxiao said calmly.

"Your Majesty, I was not in a good mood, so I pulled..." Seeing this, Zhu Yujian hurriedly explained.

"Brother, it's my brother's intention." Zhu Youjian said at this moment: "My brother's intention is to see..."

Looking at the two people defending each other, Zhu Youxiao smiled and shook his head, but didn't say much else.

People will be in a bad mood sometimes.

No matter what your background, you will have it.

"There is such a big controversy right now because the Qufu Confucius family does not represent simply the descendants of the sage Confucius."

Zhu Youxiao picked up the musket in front of him and said calmly: "Even if Beizong replaces Nanzong, the time to inherit Zhengshuo will be much shorter, but there is a saying, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. , a variable can appear once, but not twice.”

Zhu Youjian and Zhu Yujian knew that what their imperial brother/His Majesty said happened during the Yuan-Tatar War in China. At that time, Zhao and Song Dynasties were still there, but all the northern Xinjiang fell. The Kong family was doing something at that time. Having no choice, most of them followed Zhao Song and moved south, leaving some small ones to stay in Qufu.

“Do you know the essence of respecting Confucianism is respecting Confucius, and respecting Confucius is respecting Confucianism?”

Zhu Youxiao held a musket and looked at the two people and asked.

The two shook their heads when they saw this.

"Actually, you have all guessed it, but you dare not say it."

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "That is to rule the world with the scholar-bureaucrats. This is what the famous families who emerged through the imperial examination have been doing since the decline of the aristocratic families."

"In a sense, whether officials, gentry, or businessmen, they all belong to this system, which creates a new class solidification."

"Why do you, a descendant of Li Shu, have to become a leader among people just because you have read some books and participated in the imperial examination? I have the foundation accumulated over the past generations. Just because I am surpassed by you, I am surpassed?"

"If this can be accomplished, it means that some privileges can be banned. This is also the fundamental reason why there are so many disturbances in various parts of the capital now."

"Brother Imperial, this is what I am most confused about."

Zhu Youjian stepped forward and said: "Why are there many people running around in the capital who are from ordinary families, but they are the ones who clamor the most?"

"Because they have no choice."

Zhu Youzhan said with a smile: "Once a disciple or an old official is branded, even if some leaders emerge among them, their stance on some things cannot change. Once it changes, then it will It is tantamount to betraying an entire class.”

"Then let them continue like this?"

Zhu Yujian said anxiously at this moment: "Although I don't know anything about the ways of saints, I do know one thing. This world belongs to my Zhu family, and Your Majesty is the supreme one in the world. Why..."

"That's the worst thing about longevity."

Zhu Youxiao smiled and waved his hands and said: "When you encounter something, don't be affected by external factors. Since you want to do something, you have to think about the thing itself and what it will bring."

"They argue about their own affairs, do their own thing, solve problems when they encounter them, and rely on anger to dominate. This is exactly what some people want."

"Let's go and go shooting with me. Since I have chosen to do this, I will not give in. I just want to see what else fun happens."

After saying that, Zhu Youxiao took the musket and walked towards the test target in front. Zhu Youjian and Zhu Yujian looked at each other and followed quickly.
