People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 193 The Confucius Mansion is extremely sinister!Can you fight it?

After Ling Han said this, he felt a little depressed.

Chen Han can also understand.

For Chen Han, who did not come from the Four Books and Five Classics, Confucian education does not have much kindness to him.

But Ling Han was different.

He started his career from the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child. The roots of fighting in the officialdom were all given by Confucianism.

If you say you have no emotions, what's the difference between you and an animal?

But as Ling Han said, love is deep and responsibility is deep.

The more deeply I love you, the more I can't stand how the Confucian family is ruining and using Confucianism today.

It's just that he has no choice but to do this, so the more Ling Han knows about these things, the more painful he becomes, and that's why.

Only now would he warn Chen Han like this.

The main reason is that he knows how terrifying Confucianism is today.

At that time, many people also proposed to eradicate the Confucius Mansion. Although they did not say it so firmly and euphemistically, they also said that the Confucius Mansion was a cancer harboring evil intentions.

It's not a good thing for the people around you.

However, within a few days, this official was inexplicably impeached and removed from office, and then died suddenly at home.

Anyone who is smart can actually know what happened.

After so many things happened, everyone knew that Kong Mansion looked ordinary, just an ordinary mansion.

But it is self-evident how many of their spies and lackeys in the government are.

The so-called wealth and silk move people's hearts. These people in the Confucius Mansion have controlled property for thousands of years.

It was easy for them to use part of it to bribe some people. Even as the Minister of Rites, Ling Han felt that in front of the Confucius Mansion, he was nothing more than a worm under the big tree.

So now I heard that Chen Han was going to deal with the Kong family, and he had already made a plan, and even without them knowing it, the name of the so-called Saint of Science and Technology was spread.

How can the people in the Kong family just sit back and do nothing?

Now is the time when the Zhili Township Examination is about to start.

Yingtian Mansion now has many scholars gathered there.

If the provincial examination was messed up at this time, even the emperor would not be able to agree with Chen Han's approach.

And how will Chen Han end up at that time?

Ling Han knew that Chen Han came from the later generations and how much energy he had.

Especially since Chen Han came to Ming Dynasty in just one year, he pushed the Ming Dynasty to such a prosperous stage.

He also understood how valuable Chen Han was.

If we fight like this with the Kong family, both sides will suffer losses. It's okay if we win, but if we lose, wouldn't it be like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, losing a treasure mountain in vain.

Every time he thought about this, Ling Han felt as if there was a tight breath in his chest, and he just wanted to take a good breath.

I just want Chen Han not to be so anxious. Wouldn't it be better to let Chen Han's roots sink deeper and then argue with the Kong family?
But seeing the determination in Chen Han's eyes, and seeing that he didn't show any fear at all, as if he already had a plan in mind, Ling Han just slumped.

He stood up and patted the soil behind him, then raised his hand to pat Chen Han's shoulder. In the middle of the night, he took it back and could only say slowly: "Young people, don't be so angry. "

After speaking, he turned and left.

Chen Han looked at Ling Han's dejected figure and sighed.

This little old man is a kind-hearted person.

I came here to remind myself.

But Chen Han could see how helpless he was, and he understood the pain of people.

The more you understand the underlying order, the more powerless you are to change it, and the more painful it will be.

The more he understood the horror of Kong Mansion, the more he hoped that Chen Han would not fall because of this incident.

But seeing Chen Han not listening to his advice, he was inevitably hurt and had to leave.

As for Chen Han, the reason why he is confident is that in the final analysis, he still understands that he is currently supported by Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and Prince Zhu Biao.

As long as Lao Zhu understands that the current Confucianism is nothing more than this, and the current Confucius Mansion is just trying to gain fame and reputation.

Even the reason why he chose this time to circulate the Daming Engineering College newspaper to the outside world was calculated.

Because the Daming Engineering College newspaper was actually published in the second month after he founded the Daming Engineering College.

Everyone publishes articles on it to discuss knowledge, and it has been published for more than ten issues now.

Why has no newspaper from Daming Engineering College been circulated outside before?

On the contrary, the issue dedicated to recording Chen Han's being canonized as the Saint of Science was circulated to the outside?
Of course, people outside will say that Chen Han is just trying to gain fame and boasting.

But smart people should all know that Chen Han did this intentionally.

It is to use the Zhili Provincial Examination to explode a bomb in Yingtian Mansion when scholars gather together.

Where is Yingtian Mansion?
That is the capital, Jingcheng.

The areas under Zhili jurisdiction are also the most fertile areas.

For example, Songjiang Prefecture, Zhenjiang Prefecture, Suzhou Prefecture, Changzhou Prefecture, Fengyang Prefecture, Huizhou Prefecture, Yangzhou Prefecture, etc.

These state capitals have always been places where scholars and merchants gathered.

The rural examination is not the so-called township examination, but an examination for candidates, which is equivalent to the examination in the province.

Zhili has gathered so many of the best scholars, and it also includes the most knowledgeable group of scholars.

So the Zhili Provincial Examination will be held in one month, and the examination venue is also in Yingtian Mansion, which is the Confucius Temple in the capital.

Now, even though the exam will not start for another month, a large number of scholars have already arrived in the capital and are preparing.

Chen Han wanted to expose the ugly face of the Confucius family in front of these scholars.

Let these readers understand what they worship.

Then through their mouths, the ugly deeds of the Confucius family were revealed one by one.

The reason why I chose this subject for the rural examination is because the examiner of this subject is the famous contemporary Yan Sheng Gong Kong Ne.

The reason why Kong Na chose him as the examiner was because Zhu Yuanzhang was a little selfish.

Because Zhu Biao's birthday is coming soon.

Originally, according to what Chen Han told them, Prince Zhu Biao should have died in May of the 25th year of Hongwu, but he did not die.

Then the birthday of His Highness the Prince in the 25th year of Hongwu, wouldn't it mean that His Highness the Prince had a new life?
So it must be done in a big way.

This Yanshenggong Kongne was very good at flattering, and he had already prepared to celebrate the birthday of His Royal Highness.

And some special rituals were also performed.

He even proposed that he would come to Yingtian Mansion to preside over this year's provincial examination.

In fact, this Yan Shenggong's behavior was really Sima Zhao's intention, and everyone on the street knew it.

He heard about Chen Han's tax reform, promotion of commerce, and establishment of an engineering college during this year. He recruited a large number of sons of businessmen and craftsmen, and produced so many scientific and technological things that were popular among the people. gained a high reputation.

How could Duke Yansheng sit idly by?

They suppressed Chen Han's arrogance in the name of going to Beijing to preside over the Zhili Provincial Examination of this subject.

Who told the Zhili Township Examination location to be in the capital, and wasn’t Chen Han’s engineering college headquarters also in the capital?

Everyone understands.

Because of this, more scholars gathered.

Who doesn’t want to see the true face of Yan Shenggong with his own eyes?
Even if you catch a glimpse of it from a distance on the street, you are lucky.Chen Han even heard that Duke Yansheng would arrive in the capital in the next two days.

Thanks to this old guy, of course the contemporary Duke Yan is only 34 years old.

Not too old, but very shrewd.

What on earth are you doing here in Beijing so early?
Isn't that just asking for information in advance to confuse people's minds?

When the time comes, isn't he going to summon scholars to come in and chat with him?

Even the officials in the capital would go to worship him as if they were seeing the leader.

At that time, he would have a better chance to win over these officials and understand Chen Han's itinerary.

Then make a layout for Chen Han.

When the time comes, Chen Han will be given a thumbs up.

After Chen Han learned this information early, he asked people to spread the newspaper.

The intention is quite obvious.

Isn’t this old guy here just for me?

Then I will deliberately stir up your argument.

As for Xia Yuanji and Ling Han just now, they guessed Chen Han's thoughts right away.

It was because they, as senior officials, had long known that Duke Yan Sheng was coming to Beijing.

I also know that Duke Yan Sheng will preside over this Zhili Township Examination.

I understand even more what this Duke Yan Sheng wants to do.

That's why I guessed Chen Han's thoughts at once, and that's why I was so worried about Chen Han.

However, these two people failed to persuade Chen Han to stop. They even guessed that the reason why Chen Han chose this time was to create a bigger noise and destroy the Kong Mansion with one blow.

But they understood better that Duke Yan asked to come to Beijing to preside over this provincial examination at this time.

He had the same idea as Chen Han, which was to destroy Chen Han with one blow when he came to the capital.

Both men are fighting for the same purpose.

Chen Han did not shy away from his sharp edge, but instead fought hard against it.

This made both Xia Yuanji and Ling Han feel that it was a bit overwhelming.

So it's normal to worry.

After Chen Han experimented with Eucommia gum several times in the College of Engineering, he was in a good mood.

Because he is getting closer to the truth.

The extraction method of Eucommia gum has been mastered for a long time, but it will take some time to actually make tires.

He has even thought about how to get steel.

The one hundred craftsmen brought from the Japanese slaves.

They have perfect tempering technology and know how to turn pig iron into steel.

But this amount is really too low.

The reason why there were so-called magical tools in ancient times was that they were made of steel.

However, the steelmaking technology is not mature, and the quality of the steel produced is not very good.

That's why craftsmen who have mastered unique skills are very popular.

The reason why Chen Han hasn't used it yet is simply because of his previous theory.

One step at a time, you cannot become a big fat man in one sitting.

Especially now, he has to concentrate on dealing with the Kong family, which is now Duke Yansheng, and he has to save energy.

So I had to postpone it for a while.

When it was getting dark, Chen Han returned home from the Engineering College.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw His Highness the Prince's carriage parked at the door.

After getting out of the car, the housekeeper came forward and said respectfully: "Master Marquis, Your Highness has come to the mansion and is talking to Madam now."

Chen Han smiled and said, "My father-in-law probably didn't just come to see my daughter."

After saying that, he strode into the mansion.

Entering the courtyard, walking around the corridor towards the living room.

From a distance, I could hear Princess Jiangdu talking to His Highness the Crown Prince.

But after not hearing His Highness the Crown Prince's voice for a long time, he heard Lu's voice instead.

This made Chen Han a little surprised. He didn't expect that Zhu Yunwen's mother, Lu, also came here.

But according to seniority, now he has to recognize this mother-in-law.

But there are a lot of embarrassments in this.

First of all, Zhu Youwei was severely beaten by herself in the engineering college.

Princess Jiangdu also suffered a lot at Lu's hands, but when Chen Han looked at the lobby, he found that Princess Jiangdu and Lu were chatting happily, and there was no sign of hatred at all. .

However, this artificial look made Chen Han understand that these two women were still very competitive.

Now they are just pretending in front of the prince.

And Chen Han saw what was going on in the lobby. Prince Zhu Biao was sitting in the first place and had already seen Chen Han.

It was already dark at this time, and the lights had already been lit inside the house.

After Chen Han entered, he first met with the prince and princess, and then sat at the bottom left with Princess Jiangdu.

Prince Zhu Biao and Mr. Lu sat in the first place.

After the four of them chatted about home affairs, the prince suddenly stood up and said, "You guys chat in the lobby first, Chen Han and I have something to do."

Then he looked at Chen Han: "Go to your study."

After Chen Han followed the prince into the study, the prince pulled out a stack of paper from his sleeve robe and slapped it on the table.

Chen Han looked closely and saw that it was the Daming Engineering College Newspaper he published in the Engineering College.

After the prince threw away the newspaper, he said in a face-to-face manner: "You must have done it on purpose. Unfortunately, this newspaper was circulated this month.

I have long heard that you reported to Daming Engineering College, but it was just circulated within the engineering college.

Now not only have more than 1000 copies been printed and distributed, but they have also been spread throughout the capital. You are so brave. "

Chen Han still had a smile on his face, pretending not to know and said: "I don't know what your highness means."

"I don't know, since you deliberately spread this newspaper, I have smelled a strange smell. How could it be such a coincidence?
Three months ago, Yanshenggong Kongne requested an order to preside over the Zhili Provincial Examination. Today, you circulated this newspaper, which clearly published the so-called sage of science and technology, praising you for your good work.

At first I thought you were just doing it deliberately to promote your reputation, but now I think you are deliberately causing war. "

Chen Han listened to the prince's words without comment or explanation.

Upon seeing this, the prince slapped the table: "You admitted it!
Do you know?The imperial examination is related to the fate of the Ming Dynasty. It is a ceremony for the court to recruit talents. What are you trying to make trouble at this juncture?
Gu understands that what you are doing is indeed against Confucianism, but at this moment of choice, you have no room to retreat.

Once you lose, do you know that you will..."

Before Prince Zhu Biao finished speaking, Chen Han smiled and said: "Your Highness, why do you have so little confidence in me? Why did you lose? Where did you lose?"
