Zhu Yunxi's cold voice echoed in front of Hongwu Gate.
The officers and soldiers of the Royal Guards on horseback on both sides clasped their fists and shook their heads: "Take the order!"
Immediately, the officers and soldiers put their hands on the saddles, raised their legs and turned over to dismount.
When your feet hit the ground, step lightly on the ground.
A flying fish suit flutters in the wind, and an embroidered spring knife is drawn out of its sheath.
The officials of the dynasty are all decent people.
Even under the eyes of ordinary people, kneeling in front of the Hongwu Gate, the officials still knelt with their backs straight, and everyone was arranged vertically and horizontally in a neat line.
The Jin Yiwei had no intention of taking action today. The officers and soldiers just held embroidered spring knives and separated these people along the gaps left in the ranks of the dignified officials.
Afterwards, Sun Gouer didn't need to speak.
The eunuchs and eunuchs from the twenty-four yamen of the inner palace who were ordered to leave the palace came forward with a joking but serious expression.
"The Zajia's eyes are all carefully drawn!"
"Look smarter and be more agile with your hands and feet."
"Official robes, official hats, official boots, ribbons, and belts, don't leave anything behind."
In front of the officials, an eunuch who seemed to be the chief eunuch stood half a step behind Sun Gou'er with his hands on his hips, his chest puffed out, his eyes playful and sinister, and he shouted something.
"I am not guilty!"
"Why do you want to take away my official uniform!"
As the eunuchs and chamberlains stepped forward, some officials suddenly raised their heads and screamed, and the tablets and memorials in their hands were thrown to the ground.
It is a genuine third-grade Dahongpao.
A eunuch led two young chamberlains forward, trying to take off the big red robe.
It was so shocking to see him change at this moment.
His Majesty's decree was at hand, and the inner court eunuchs had long-term resentment in their hearts against this group of usually arrogant civil servants.
There were countless Jin Yiwei tigers and wolves looking around.
Before the leading eunuch could say anything, a young chamberlain behind him had already stepped forward with a ferocious face, waving his right arm with a gust of wind.
Snapped!
There was a crisp sound.
Issued in front of Hongwu Gate.
The little chamberlain who slapped the face with his palm used the greatest strength in his life and slapped the red-robed official in the face with his palm.
Several yellow-and-white lumps with scarlet color splashed out from the official's mouth and clattered on the ground. When the rolling stopped, people saw clearly that it was a slap that knocked out the teeth of the dignified third-rank official.
Pulled out.
The eunuch frowned and turned back, with a smile of approval and appreciation in his eyes. The young chamberlain immediately lowered his head, looking frightened.
"presumptuous!"
The eunuch gave a cold shout, and he didn't know if he was scolding the little chamberlain who lowered his head. He turned around and reminded the red-robed official who had been knocked to the ground: "Your Majesty has made it clear that you are allowed to beg for bones. At this moment.
So, are you trying to resist the decree and disobey it?"
The official whose white teeth had been whipped out, half of his face became red and swollen in just a blink of an eye.
The official covered his face with his hands and fell to the ground. His eyes were numb and blood was constantly seeping from the corners of his mouth.
After serving as an official for decades, he wears a red robe and sits in a high hall. There are three groups of guards clearing the way when he comes in and out. One glance can determine whether a place is alive or dead.
How could that official think that he, just a small servant, would dare to slap himself in front of so many people?
The official couldn't figure it out.
The surrounding officials were frightened, and then looked at the chamberlains who came up to them and wanted to take off their official robes and remove the crowns on their heads, suppressing the anger and dissatisfaction that had just risen in their hearts.
But the eunuch at the other end snorted coldly: "Please, Jin Yiwei, please help these two incompetent bastards and strip off this man's robes and crown."
The officers and soldiers of the Jin Yiwei on the side immediately sheathed their swords, stepped forward and pressed the official to the ground. In an instant, the beautiful red robe was roughly stripped off by the officers and soldiers, and the luxurious crown was also taken off.
Down.
Dressed in white, he was thrown to the ground like an abandoned child.
Countless palace servants began to strip off the robes and crowns of the officials begging for their bodies in front of the Hongwu Gate.
The people watching around had never seen such a scene before.
Even if one goes back several dynasties, one cannot think of a time when such a scene had occurred.
Apart from the sound of gasps, even the most idle people did not dare to speak at this time.
But is this all?
Zhu Yunxi, who was sitting high on the horse, looked sideways and lowered his head in a relaxed manner: "Continue to read."
Sun Gou'er immediately stretched out his hand again, and a second imperial edict was delivered into his hand.
"The Emperor Chengyun of the Heaven issued an edict: There is a bright future. Twenty-eight years ago, the country was in turmoil. Now you have 14 Dao. It is the creation and design of the illustrious and powerful master.
Today, there are four areas of uncertainty, disturbances from outside the areas, royal ways not being enforced, and tyranny being displayed.
I have read all the histories and reviewed several dynasties, and only the Qin law can be sent to me. If we create a country for eternity, our army will last for eternity.
Today, I attack the old forces of the former Qin Dynasty and resume military merits. I hope that with the illustrious and mighty troops, I will demonstrate the power of the country outside the territory, establish a foundation that lasts for ten thousand years, and protect our Ming Dynasty from falling into prosperity.
All the ministries and departments in the court discussed the matter of resumption, with the Ming Dynasty being the most important thing.
I admire this."
The Ming Dynasty resumed the Qin Dynasty's national policy of military merit, and finally made it public and made it known to the world.
As the first unified dynasty, the story of the Pre-Qin Dynasty has been spreading in the Central Plains for more than a thousand years.
The people of Yingtian City, which is the capital of the capital, have figured out what His Majesty the Emperor's decree means after just a few thoughts.
But the officials who were originally surprised and shocked, at a loss and frightened, were stripped of their official robes by a famous chamberlain and went to Liang Guan to beg for bones. When they heard this second order, their eyes and pupils were all bright.
A contraction.
The face of the Ming Dynasty's civil servant group was completely trampled to the ground today.
Originally, they didn't know why the emperor dared to do such a thing.
But now they finally understand.
The emperor just issued a decree, and his hands tightly held a million butcher knives.
There was no longer pure civilian politics in the Ming Dynasty.
A mournful cry resounded among the officials who were stripped of their robes and crowns.
Sun Gouer did not ask Zhu Yunxi to remind him this time, and already held the third imperial edict in his hands.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun issued an edict: Confucianism is the first in the world's cultural context, and the common people in the world respect Confucius as the teacher of the world. This is the wish of the common people. The saint will benefit the world for thousands of years and enjoy peace.
, the merits of education can be passed down for thousands of years.
In the legacy of the saints, one does not think about recalling the predecessors, does not do the things of the predecessors, and does not follow the ambitions of the predecessors. Without the king's law, he sacrifices to the previous dynasty, connects with outside the fortress, commits crimes and causes rebellion, and his treason will not be forgiven.
I have studied the articles of saints and sages, and I have lingering thoughts in mind. If you are pardoned for great rebellion, you can forgive the death penalty, but you cannot escape the living crime.
Now I have captured Duke Yansheng and the honors of the nine clans of the Kong family. I have been escorted to the tent of General Zhengnan, and he has pacified the newly conquered people with his royal principles and benevolence. He has boarded a ship to Europe to promote the legacy of the sages of the Central Plains.
I admire this."
In front of Hongwu Gate, the screams finally stopped.
If today the emperor gives permission for hundreds of officials to beg for their bones, and the emperor's grandson drives his horse to coerce the officials, he will trample the faces of the civil servants to the ground wantonly.
Then he took away the title of Duke of Yansheng from the Kong family, took away the honors of the nine clans, and sent them to the land of new conquests, and sent them to the bitter and cold land of Europe thousands of miles away. This has already completely trampled the world's gentry and scholars into the dirt.
.
From then on, there was no more Yanshenggong in the world.
Confucius is still the same Confucius, and he is still the same saint with great merits. He will still be respected by people all over the world, and he will live in peace with the Ming Dynasty for eternity.
But the Confucian disciples have since become a branch of learning under the imperial power.
Three decrees, one more powerful than the other, hit the officials in front of the Hongwu Gate again and again like a stormy sea, the people watching on Chongli Street, and the officials who came after hearing the news and had never presented a memorial to beg for the bones.
After being shocked for a long time, Sun Gouer calmly read out the emperor's fourth imperial edict today: "The emperor's edict is carried out by heaven: There are hundreds of millions of people in the world, and the imperial court is divided into 14 divisions, with 28,000 officials. Over the years,
There are frequent official vacancies.
I feel the hardships of the people and the difficulties of the world. The dynasty of the country should be opened, and the way to get an official is that there is no imperial examination, but there are few ministers.
Today, I think that the country will build more schools to teach people how to read and digit, learn how to read, promote new policies, and establish new schools.
When the public law examination begins, all enlightened people in the world, regardless of left or right, go up and down side by side. Under the New Deal, all those who want to be promoted and have ambitions can go to Beijing. In the spring, their names will be recorded in reference to their ambitions.
I hope that the world will know, I hope that all people will know, I hope that all those who are determined will enter the court, and I hope that all the wise men will build a prosperous Ming Dynasty together.
I admire this."
What are the New Deal and New Learning?
In front of the Hongwu Gate, very few people know about it.
The court will probably explain these two things clearly later.
But everyone understood clearly that in the future, becoming an official in the Ming Dynasty would not be achieved only by gaining the title of a civil servant and becoming a Jinshi in the second rank.
Successful candidates and Jinshi still have to take part in the examination of public law.
Farewell to the imperial edict, Kasuga's name refers to his ambitions. It seems that there was a distinction at the beginning of his career as an official, and probably the paper also needs to be distinguished.
"It's over, it's really all over..."
On the east side of Hongwumen, in the corner in front of the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry.
Yu Xin, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and Wang Jun, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, who came from the Ministry of Revenue, looked at each other and trembled in a low voice.
How many people in the world can be ranked among the top two Jinshi scholars?
Even though the imperial court has increased the number of Jinshi in these two subjects, there are also countless Jinshis in these two rankings over the years.
But Juren is different!
The emperor's preferential treatment, which had deprived the world of academic fame, made all the scholars in the world dissatisfied.
But now, as long as you have the reputation of being a civil servant, you can take the public law exam.
Although the preferential treatment is no longer available, the largest number of candidates can now participate in the official vacancies that were originally not open to Jinshi.
Wang Jun was trembling all over and turned his head stiffly to look at Yu Xin beside him, only to see sweat dripping from his forehead.
"How dare you!"
"How dare you?"
"How dare you... just let those candidates... be able to sit high in the ministry?"
There was a strange sweetness in Yu Xin's throat.
But the crowd watching on Chongli Street erupted into a roar.
Sun Gouer had just finished reading out the fourth decree of the Ming Dynasty to open the public law examination, and countless people in the crowd rushed to the front and knelt heavily on the ground.
"Students thank you for your kindness!"
"Your Majesty's kindness is so great that the students will not give up even if they die, and will swear allegiance to the imperial court to the death."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
In front of the Hongwu Gate, what was different from those pale-faced and disheartened officials who had their official robes stripped off and went to Liang Guan was that a scholar with a reputation for raising people willingly knelt on the ground and mouthed Thank you one after another to His Majesty the Emperor behind the palace gates.
Zhu Yunxi, who was on horseback, looked at the people who had finally come to their senses and looked sideways at the little fat man behind him.
Zhu Yunxi spoke in a low voice: "This world is not really all one. There are countless people in the world who want to be officials. In my family, we only need to hold a sieve in hand to sift out enough outstanding and talented people to be officials."
Zhu Gaochi's eyes flickered. The matter of testing public law had already been promoted on Jiaozhi Road.
It's just that in the court, those who sit high in the yamen always seem to think that Jiaozhi Road is too far, so that changes there will not affect the entire court and the entire Ming Dynasty.
It's just that they are destined to be disappointed starting today.
Zhu Gaochi was also sitting on horseback, looking up at Chaoyang Gate to the south of Hongwu Gate.
The corners of his eyes moved and he whispered: "The people are here."
Zhu Yunxi also looked over and saw that outside Chaoyang Gate and on the official road outside the city, there was already a group of ceremonial guards of the feudal officials, slowly coming towards Yingtian City.
At this time, Sun Gou'er, the chief supervisor of the internal affairs department, had already opened the last decree.
"The emperor's edict was carried out by heaven: I have been in charge of the emperor for twenty-eight years, and I have not dared to slack off for a day. Today, the affairs of the country are becoming increasingly heavy. I look in the mirror every day and sigh at my old age.
The country cannot stand still for a day, the country cannot be without hardship for a day, and the common people cannot be without rice for a day.
Ming Dynasty is fortunate that although I am old, my prince is still in his prime and my grandson is strong.
There are no two or three government orders, and thousands of things happen every day in the world. If one order is passed, the world will be peaceful.
I want to support Qian Qing, so that the virtuous people will not be in chaos, and the country will remain the same.
I admire this."
What is the emperor saying?
What did the emperor want to express?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When the last decree came to everyone's ears in front of the Hongwu Gate, everyone was stunned.
The emperor said that he was old, and he proposed the crown prince of the Eastern Palace and the grandson of the emperor in charge of the country.
Is the emperor going to give in?
A bold conjecture burst out in everyone's mind.
On horseback, Zhu Yunxi never thought that the old man's last will would be like this.
What exactly does the old man want to do?
Even Zhu Yunxi at this moment couldn't figure it out.
However, the emperor's five edicts were finally read out in full.
Tian Mai walked out of the corner, came to Sun Cheng's side, whispered a few words into his ear, then took out a text from his sleeve and handed it into Sun Cheng's hand.
Sun Cheng opened the text booklet and lowered his head to review it.
After a while, Sun Cheng raised his head and looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on horseback.
Sun Cheng held the booklet in his hand and turned around to look at the officials in front of him who had taken off their official robes and gone to Liang Guan.
He said in a deep voice: "Jin Yiwei obeys the order."
"My subordinate is here."
"After investigation, it was found that some old officials had committed illegal acts. Under the Ming Dynasty, crimes cannot be escaped. I named everyone involved in the case and took them down."
After finishing speaking, Sun Cheng handed over the booklet in his hand.
An official from Qianhu under Fusi of Beizhen came forward and took the booklet with both hands.
After the arrest, the officers and soldiers of the Jinyiwei, who were originally only used to suppress and intimidate, began to compare the names on the book and arrest people according to their names in front of Hongwu Gate.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in front of Hongwu Gate again.
For the former officials who had been granted permission by the emperor to beg for their remains, who would have thought that the emperor had previously granted them permission to resign, and now he is here to arrest and convict them.
And when there were loud cries of injustice in front of Hongwu's gate.
Under the Chaoyang Gate, a small official came in and signed up loudly.
"Doctor Zhongfeng, Zizhi Yin, Chief Envoy of Jiaozhi Road, Si Zuo, and Gao Yangzhi, the left deputy imperial censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, came to Beijing to report on their duties."
Gao Yangzhi, who was supposed to be in the court hall and report his duties when he entered the court, was reported as such when he entered the city.
All those titles conveyed to the people behind Chaoyang Gate that the youngest and most promising frontier official in the Ming Dynasty had finally returned to Beijing from Jiaozhi Road.
Zhu Yunxi lifted the reins in his hand, and looked through the confused officials who were captured by the Jin Yiwei, through the crowd of onlookers, and looked at Gao Yangzhi and his group who had already walked under the Chaoyang Gate.
Zhu Gaochi made a muffled sound from the side.
With a smile on his face, Zhu Yunxi said with a chuckle: "There will be a better tomorrow, but the past and present will be better."
