"Hou Shangshu, you passed!"
Zhu Gaochi turned around again and looked at Hou Yong, "When discussing politics in court, we must discuss matters on their own merits!"
"The official is just discussing the matter!" Hou Yong replied firmly, looking at Zhu Yunxi, "He caused such a big trouble in Shandong. If the New Deal is implemented in Jiangnan in the future, those famous families and those scholarly families will
What kind of reaction, I can’t even imagine!”
"Stay away from this old man from now on!"
Li Jinglong on the other side kept his head silently, but he kept thinking in his heart.
"I never noticed before that Old Man Hou doesn't use curse words when he curses people, and he doesn't need to use bad words to harm others!"
The root cause of Shandong students' boycott of exams lies in Li Zhigang, and the root cause of Li Zhigang lies in the New Deal.
But Hou Yong didn't say a word about the New Deal from beginning to end, but he demoted Li Zhigang to be worthless and gave him a severe eyedrop.
Thinking about it, something suddenly moved in his mind, and his eyes swept over Zhu Gaochi who was looking at Luck.
"These two are working together!" Li Jinglong thought to himself, "Let's just put on acting!"
Li Zhigang and Hou Yong were not at odds with each other, and now that Li Zhigang has become the Minister of Civil Service, they have never been at odds with each other and have turned into an open and covert fight.
He and Li Zhigang can't deal with this damn fat man in front of him!
You must know that when Li Zhigang, the imperial envoy, left the capital, he was the one who dragged Zhuo Jing and Chen Di there. The latter two were both in the capital, serving as the ministers of duty to Zhigang.
Then, Li Jinglong's eyes changed and he said in his heart, "Except for Xiao Jie, these people in Nan Study are all damn scheming!"
"Tsk tsk!" Thinking of this, he felt a bit of schadenfreude, "Li Zhigang! How did you make so many people hate you? Haha, even if you have made great contributions to the New Deal, how can you do that?
How about blocking future mass attacks?"
Zhu Yunxi was sitting on the throne, and the expressions of his ministers could be seen clearly.
In fact, it's not that he doesn't know the implication of Hou Yong's words, nor that he doesn't know the true thoughts of these courtiers. But as an emperor, he has his own considerations.
This kind of consideration is an issue he has always ignored, humanities.
The New Deal implemented during the Yongzheng period of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties in later generations, the humanistic and social environment of the country was completely different from today. The scholars in Jiangnan just wanted to survive under the butcher's knife of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. However, in the more than thirty years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, although it has not been good for scholars,
Not that good, but he is a nurturing scholar after all.
The country respects and relies on the gentry class.
And this respect extends to privileges, also to encourage various places in the north to come out of the war as soon as possible.
This original intention is good, even if the gentry will eventually become a stubborn and incurable disease of the empire, the original intention is good after all, and it is effective and useful at the beginning.
But then again, Zhu Yunxi is in a stage of connecting the past and the next.
He must make reforms, otherwise good things will turn into bad things, otherwise he will leave chronic diseases to future generations.
Long term pain or short term pain?
Governing the country cannot simply look at right or wrong, it must be viewed dialectically and the choices must be weighed.
If Li Jinglong only saw people's hearts and plans, Zhu Yunxi heard another meaning from Hou Yong's words.
"The emperor cannot be too hasty. The empire must adapt to local conditions, and people must be taught in accordance with their aptitude. Those cruel officials can only be used for a while, not for a lifetime!"
But...for this provocation from the gentry...
Zhu Yunxi habitually tapped the table with his fingers, making a slight sound.
At the same time, he smiled bitterly in his heart, "It seems that in the future, my reputation as a tyrant will no longer escape me!"
Thinking about it, he turned his eyes slightly.
Suddenly, I noticed that Li Jinglong was sitting below, his little eyes darting around, and he knew at a glance that he was not keeping his thoughts in mind.
"Dong Cao Guo!" Zhu Yunxi said softly.
"Ah! Huh?" Li Jinglong was stunned, "I'm here!"
"What do you think about this?" Zhu Yunxi slowly picked up the tea cup and covered his eyes.
Although Li Jinglong couldn't see the emperor's gaze, he still felt angry in his heart.
In the past, the emperor would not ask him about this kind of thing. What happened now?
His mind was running rapidly, he looked to the side, and Zhu Gaochi turned his head.
He looked at Xu Huizu again, who was sitting like a Buddha.
"I..." He said bravely, "I am a warrior, this kind of political minister is really..."
As he said this, he couldn't speak any more.
Because Zhu Yunxi put down his tea bowl and exposed his eyes.
Gulu!
Li Jinglong swallowed in his heart, what a big fucking pot!
I didn't do anything and you slapped me on the head?
This... I must not let others scold me until my ancestors crawl out of their graves?
"Mr. Cao Guo!" Zhang Yan, the Minister of Household Affairs, reminded kindly, "The emperor is asking you a question!"
"I am your grandma, I know!"
Li Jinglong cursed in his heart, then gritted his teeth and summoned up the courage to stand up, "I think this is intolerable!"
Simply put, he risked his life, and at worst he would be scolded by scholars all over the world!
Others can't kill him by scolding him, but if the emperor is unhappy, it will be worse than death for him.
"Why can't you tolerate it?" Zhu Yunxi frowned and said, "Are you going to recite the Three-Character Sutra with me?"
"No matter what, breaking the law is breaking the law. Li Zhigang acted in accordance with the law, that's right! Who allowed those gentry officials to have other people's land in their names? The state does not give them privileges to help others escape taxes!"
Li Jinglong said sternly, "The student strike in Shandong is fundamentally different from the North and South Ranking case. They are uniting to compete with the court, thinking that the law will not punish everyone and provoke the authority of the court!"
"Discussing things as they are, cannot be tolerated, and cannot be tolerated, otherwise what will happen to our Ming Dynasty? Oh! Is the country of Ming Dynasty for their personal gain? Is it to feed moths like them?"
"Furthermore, if we allow them..." As he spoke, Li Jinglong continued with murderous intent, "Other provinces will also learn from this, and then the Ming Dynasty might as well not have to take the imperial examination!"
sensible!
Zhu Yunxi gave him a look.
It's not that he deliberately asked Li Jinglong to top the vat, but that these words cannot be said by anyone in this palace. To be precise, they cannot come from the hands of civil servants, otherwise these helpers under him will definitely be scolded by the scholars and resign, and will be infamy for thousands of years.
Nailed on the traitor list.
"Then... Mr. Cao Guo, what do you mean...?" Zhu Gaochi suddenly turned his head and asked, "You want to kill him?"
"I blame your grandma too!" Li Jinglong cursed in his heart, "Isn't it clear what I said? Why are you pretending to be so stupid?"
"Kill!" Li Jinglong was really brave and said, "Kill the one who takes the lead in making trouble! Kill the one who is behind the scenes!"
After saying that, he saluted Zhu Yunxi and said, "My lord, please forgive me for being disrespectful!"
"When monarchs and ministers discuss politics, you can just say what you say about anything disrespectful or irreverent. How can I blame you for saying a few words?" Zhu Yunxi said displeased.
"I have to put it bluntly, since ancient times, when implementing the New Deal, there must be iron-blooded courage and thunderous tactics!" Li Jinglong sneered, "How can there be a New Deal without bloodshed in the world? The dynasty has been raising scholars for more than 30 years, but they have forgotten that the previous dynasty treated them
Being mean and not thinking about the kindness of the Ming Dynasty, but grinning at the court, isn't this a sign of immaturity?"
"For their own benefit, they let the court change its course, let the court go back on its word, let the court accommodate them, and turned a blind eye to actions that harmed the country. Isn't this ambition?"
"If the court gives in this time, then the princes in the court and the future New Deal will become a joke. In the future of the Ming Dynasty, even a hundred years later, it will be the most difficult of all difficulties to try to change."
"Strict investigation and severe punishment. Since they don't take the exam, then don't take the exam. All the students who make troubles will be stripped of their honors. The Ming Dynasty doesn't want such students who don't know who they are and have ulterior motives."
"Otherwise, we will be a group of national thieves in the future!"
~
"good!"
Zhu Yunxi thought to himself, he really wanted to applaud.
However, his face was still silent, without any expression.
"All the students in a province have stopped taking exams. Maybe some of them were deceived and went astray!"
Zhu Gaochi, who had been silent all this time, said, "I think it's okay to investigate and punish, but we still have to be cautious."
"What Hong Xi said is very much in line with what I want!" Zhu Yunxi said, "The Ming Dynasty is not afraid of trouble, but it is afraid of not being able to handle these things well!" After saying that, he pondered for a moment, "It is not easy to identify this case in detail, how can we do it again?
Do you want me to send an imperial envoy to investigate thoroughly?"
"Your Majesty!" Yang Jing, the imperial censor, who was at the back of the group of ministers, said, "Let's talk about the matter. This case was brought by Shilang Li. He knows the cause better than anyone else, and he is also in Shandong. I think it's better to leave it to him.
Come and deal with it, so that if the imperial court sends people down again, it will cause trouble again because of ignorance!"
"Yes!" Zhu Yunxi nodded, "What Ai Qing said is true!"
"Fortunately it's not me!" Li Jinglong wiped his cold sweat and thought to himself, "Fang Xiaoru is right, there is no fucking good person in the whole court!"
You harmless Yang Jing, Li Zhigang was also the censor of Zuodu, and he didn't stand on the opposite side of you, so you just came out with a trick to drain the fire.
high!
So damn high!
"Li Zhigang is extremely dead. Now that he is still alive, I think he already stinks!"
