After the gun salute, the Imperial Guards began to disperse the spectators.
Zhu Youxiao met with all the chief officials and teachers of the six subjects of the college in the newly built auditorium.
Although the college has officially opened, the specific rules and regulations still need to be improved, and Zhu Youxiao needs to establish them himself.
The last time they were in the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youxiao and the ministers only drafted a charter, but the details had not yet been implemented.
After discussions with these principal teachers, the college formally established four major prohibitions and eighteen rules.
As for the specific structure, after Zhu Youxiao's repeated thinking during this period, the upper and lower structure of the college was determined with reference to later generations.
Each of the six subjects has a chief officer. Under the chief officer, a teaching group is established. The teachers will jointly recommend teachers who are highly respected and convincing to serve as group leaders.
One subject has temporarily set up three groups, namely theory, practice, and comprehensive. The number of members and teachers in each group varies.
Students will also be divided into classes, with the number of people in each class ranging from fifteen to twenty-five. Zhu Youxiao did not say much about the specific lectures. This is what the people below do. He only needs to set the structure and general direction. Can.
Above the head of the six subjects is Dean Zhu Youxiao. He is responsible for direct leadership. All matters of Huangming College are decided by him personally, without going through the six ministries and the cabinet.
Then he called all the students together in the auditorium, and Zhu Youxiao gave another speech in a very passionate way.
The contents were nothing more than loyalty to the emperor and serving the country, reviving the Ming Dynasty, benefiting the people, etc. These students were so excited that their heartbeats accelerated several times and they clapped their hands with red faces. They all felt that the Holy Emperor was on the throne and that the glory of the prosperous age was just around the corner.
As a peer of theirs, Zhu Youxiao understands this age group very well. This period is the time when emotions are most easily excited and when thoughts are most easily instilled.
How could Emperor Zhu, who always attached great importance to this aspect, let go of such a great opportunity? After all, he didn't have much time to come here.
For new ideas to open up, the direction must be controlled by him personally, and he must be at the helm. Only by becoming the leader of new ideas can he realize the ideological revolution.
…
…
In an inn only two blocks away from Huangming College, the door to the best private room was closed, and there were several rather strong men guarding the door with knives.
In the private room, a young man dressed in extremely rich clothes and another young man dressed in a scholarly style were drinking and talking.
The man dressed in scholarly clothes put down his wine glass seriously, sighed and said:
"Your Majesty is cutting off the roots of the Southeastern clan and the Jiangnan gentry. If you act like this, you will definitely lose the hearts of scholars from all over Jiangnan, and Donglin Academy will also suffer a serious blow!"
Hearing the sigh from his friend who was dressed in a scholarly style, the wealthy man laughed and said:
"Brother Gandu, since when have you become so unfounded? This is not like you!"
Hearing the rich man's words, the Confucian scholar said unhappily:
"Brother Shou, why are you teasing me? Shouldn't we be unfounded at this time? Everything your Majesty has done since he ascended the throne has been directed at the gentry and wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River."
"In several major cases, many courtiers from the south were unjustly killed, and they were all punished with the most severe torture. Did the previous emperors treat them like this when they were in power?"
"You and I are both the ones His Majesty is targeting this time. If the rabbit dies and the fox dies, the family's status and interests will be damaged, and it will not be good for us either!"
"Brother Qiandu's words make sense. Although I am a few years older than Brother Qiandu, I can't see it as profoundly and thoroughly as Brother Qiandu!"
The Confucian scholar drank another full glass of wine alone, and then continued:
"Before I entered the capital, I read each issue of the newspaper several times. After careful study, I finally came to the conclusion that today's situation has reached this point. The treacherous ministers in the court are in power, and Wei Yi and the Hakka family are the main culprits!"
The wealthy man quickly held down his arm and whispered beside him:
"Brother Qiandu, please don't jump to conclusions. If Hakka is really so favored, why would His Majesty expel her from the palace?"
The Confucian scholar pushed his hand away, stood up, and said proudly:
"Brother Shou doesn't seem to be very well informed!"
Seeing him speak so confidently, the wealthy man did not feel unhappy, but lowered his attitude and asked:
"Brother Qiandu knows the inside story? Then please ask Brother Qiandu to help Brother Wei solve his doubts!"
"A few days ago, I specially asked someone to inquire and investigate this matter. Although the Hakka family has left the palace, he has not returned to his hometown. Instead, he lives in the inner city. The house is the official residence of a minister that was inspected before, and there is a door at the door. Guards in brocade robes."
"Based on this matter, I dare to say that although your Majesty drove the Hakka family out of the palace, I am afraid that he did it out of necessity. Your Majesty is still reluctant to let her go, otherwise it would not be like this. According to the development of this situation, the Hakka family will have to do it sooner or later. Enter the palace!"
"Wei Wei and our Jiangnan noble family have forged an eternal feud. When this Hakka family returns to the palace, they will definitely join forces to falsely accuse and harm our noble family!"
The wealthy man nodded repeatedly, feeling that what his friend said was true.
"My father sent me to the capital precisely because of this matter. Before leaving, he repeatedly told me that I must carefully understand the new situation in the court and find out the details of this Wei eunuch!"
"Brother Gandu, you and I are fellow townsmen and have been friends for many years. As brothers, I won't hide anything from you. My father and other noble clans have jointly agreed to play a big game this time."
"With this victory, our Jiangnan noble clan will definitely reach a higher level, and we can completely control the right to speak in Jiangnan provinces. But if we lose, it will be an abyss. I can't imagine what will happen!"
The Confucian scholar was shocked and asked eagerly:
"Is it so serious? It seems that he wants to fight to the death. Now that he has said this, can Brother Shou make it clear to his younger brother?"
"It's not like we have to fight to the death. It's just that the current political situation is so chaotic. If we want to protect ourselves, we can't just sit back and wait for death. This is what we were forced to do."
Then she took him to the corner, put his head close and whispered a few words.
After hearing this, the Confucian scholar felt incredible. His mouth was so long that when he was about to speak, his mouth was covered. If the rich man hadn't had quick eyesight and quick hands, he might have actually told this important matter.
After taking away the hand covering his mouth, the Confucian scholar said with shocked eyes:
"You want to cut off water transportation? Are you going to resist paying taxes?"
The rich man did not answer, but nodded heavily.
The Confucian scholar was speechless immediately when he saw this. He raised his hand several times to speak but could not.
After a long while, the Confucian scholar walked to the wine table, took a swig of wine, and said with a slight trembling:
"Brother Shou, this is a serious crime of confiscating the family and annihilating the clan. Once it fails, it will be irreversible. Before this happens, please quickly send a letter to your father to stop it, so as to avoid disaster!"
