14. The bottom line
Approval?
All the civil officials were stunned at this moment!
They had predicted many of Zhu Di's reactions, such as being furious, shouting to kill their ten clans, and asking the Jinyiwei to take them to Zhaozhu.
In fact, they had already thought of countermeasures, and were waiting to incite scholars and literati to let these passionate young people do a big fight with the Jinyiwei, and the bigger the matter, the better.
However, they never expected that Zhu Di would make a light and accurate speech.
I actually agreed.
Some people even think that Zhu Di's head is twitching at this moment, especially the princes Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu. They think that their father has been attacked by ghosts.
Zhu Di looked at everyone's shocked expression and felt very happy.
He said calmly: "Since all my beloved ministers say that Fang Xiaoru is not guilty, the scholars and people in the world have also pleaded for him. I have decided to follow the will of the people."
The ministers all looked proud and proud, thinking to themselves that Zhu Di was afraid.
They won this battle between the monarch and the ministers with a crushing attitude.
But they were not satisfied and immediately advised him: "Your Majesty, we believe that Fang Xiaoru is not only innocent, but also should be commended. Only in this way can he reflect the character of a literati and a great Confucian style, and only inspire his majesty, and only inspire his majesty is the only way to do it!"
The ministers are trying hard to trample on the emperor's majesty.
Only in this way can people all over the world feel that the emperor is not good.
Then, only those civil officials who are dedicated to the world can share the worries of the king, manage the world, and then treat the emperor as puppets with justification.
Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu were so angry that their eyes turned red. If Zhu Di hadn't been here, they would have even wanted to order the Jinyiwei to drag down the ministers who were provoking trouble and beat them to death with sticks.
They kept winking at Zhu Di, "Father, don't believe the instigation of these civil officials."
But Zhu Di smiled and laughed, "Okay, my dear friends are very saying. Fang Xiaoru should not only be rewarded, but also be used!
I should appoint Fang Xiaoru as an important minister of reform and implement the way of saints governing the country. What do the ministers think?”
When the civil officials saw that the emperor was suppressed like this by them, they all smiled and bowed, "Your Majesty is wise!"
At this moment, they almost felt happy that they had finally suppressed the emperor's arrogance!
Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu, and Daoyan monk Yao Guangxiao were all extremely puzzled.
"Father, do you have a fever?" Zhu Gaochi reminded carefully.
Zhu Di glared at his stupid son with disgust.
Then he stood up and said with a solemn look on his face: "I follow the will of the people and respect the wise and the poor. Not only did I not kill Fang Xiaoru, but I also regarded him as the Minister of Reform and presided over the new policy.
Are you satisfied?"
At this time, the scholars and the people shouted excitedly to celebrate, like generals who had won the battle.
However, the next sentence Zhu Di said made them fall from heaven to hell.
Zhu Di's eyes were cold and fierce, and said with a cruel smile: "Since you want to do the way of a saint, you feel that Fang Xiaoru is innocent, and you will resume the Zhou rituals and go to the well field. Then the first thing you need to do is to cancel the imperial examination!
Starting from today, the Imperial College will be abolished, the academic and political education in various places will be abolished, and the fame and reputation of scholars will be abolished.
The management selection and adopt the Zhou rituals mentioned by the sages are the system of the nobles and the descendants.
You can go home to farm!"
What?
Zhu Di's words were like thunder striking the ground, and they struck everyone stupidly.
The literati were shocked one by one and abolished the imperial examination system and adopted the system of the descendants of the clan and the descendants of the clan.
What is the system of the noble family and the family fortune? It is to compete with the father.
Only when your father is an official can you become an official. This is the hereditary system.
These literati students studied hard and never had any way to be promoted.
The people were also stupid. Many of them thought of letting their sons study, take the imperial examination, become officials, shine their ancestors, and change their family members.
However, unexpectedly, Zhu Di directly issued an order to abolish the imperial examination system.
This time, all their hopes were blocked.
It is difficult for a poor family to have a noble son.
"Your Majesty, the imperial examination system cannot be abolished!" The literati cried out, his eyes red.
Zhu Di held his hands behind his back, and the old god was there, and snorted: "Aren't I humbly accepting advice? You didn't mean that Fang Xiaoru is innocent and should do the way of a saint.
You can ask Fang Xiaoru, if we should abolish the imperial examination system and implement the Shiqian family and the family salary system?"
Fang Xiaoru stood proudly, bowed his hand to the saint, and said righteously: "The saint's words, re-election of Zhou rituals and walking in the well fields are the great way to govern the country!"
"Thinking about the ancient times, when I didn't pick up the road and didn't close my doors at night, of course, I should abolish the imperial examinations and implement the system of the generational nobles and the family honors advocated by King Wen of Zhou!"
"This is the way for the saint to govern the country!"
What Fang Xiaoru thought in his heart was the kind of thing that Confucianism promoted more than a thousand years ago, governing the country with the kingly way.
He believed that this arrangement was something that all Confucians should stick to, because what the saint said was right!
When the civil officials heard Fang Xiaoru say this, their scalp felt numb. Only then did they realize that Zhu Di was too damaged.
Zhu Di smiled and said to the scholars and the people: "Look, I have followed the advice of my beloved ministers. I don't want to abolish the imperial examinations, but I have no choice but to beg you kneel down and beg you," he said.
The Taoist Holy Monk Yao Guangxiao was shocked. He felt that Zhu Di's IQ seemed to have developed secondaryly. This was too reasonable. Can you think of such a sinister way?
This is to play with the people of the world in their palms!
At this time, some of the literati, Zhu Di, arranged in advance, began to roar.
"Dear brothers, we were bewitched by the traitors!"
"They colluded with Fang Xiaoru, and this is to block our promotion path!"
"They want their descendants to be officials from generation to generation, so that we will never have a chance to stand out. Ten years of hard study have become a dream, and we will fight with them!"
The literati are not stupid either. They are slapped by others, and they think that their future is ruined, and their eyes are red.
As the saying goes, cutting off people's money is like killing parents or destroying people's fame and fortune, which is equivalent to digging people's ancestral graves!
What Fang Xiaoru and the civil officials are doing now is equivalent to digging everyone's ancestral tombs, at least their ancestral tombs will no longer be smoked in their future ancestral tombs.
The literati went crazy and screamed at the civil officials.
"Hack them to death, shameless bastard!"
"My cousin at home is still waiting for me to go back to marry me on the list!"
"My mother is going to be blind to me for studying and sewing needles and threads. I and these traitors have never finished, and they have actually bewitched the king!"
"Kill!"
The literati and the people are crazy about being angry. They are the direct beneficiaries of the imperial examination system, and the imperial examination is their hope for life.
Whoever dares to move the imperial examination system is equivalent to digging their ancestral graves.
What a civil servant, beating him to death!
Zhu Di almost got so happy when he saw that the civil minister was treated as a rat crossing the street.
Sitting on the dragon chaise, I sipped with a sip of wine and a sip of watermelon, and I ate it so refreshingly.
Still shouting
"Everyone calm down, gentlemen don't act."
"Even if you do something, you can't search the guy."
"Smash the rotten eggs right, hit them in the face!"
Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu were completely shocked when they saw this scene.
Originally, those civil officials wanted to rely on the scholars and the people to besiege the emperor.
Unexpectedly, their father turned his hand into clouds and rain, which directly broke their unbreakable alliance.
Let the scholars and the people and civil officials start to fight. This melee fight is dark and the sun and the moon are gone.
All kinds of rotten vegetables, leaves and rotten eggs were clamoring towards Wenchen's face.
The combat effectiveness of the scholars of the Ming Dynasty was unprecedentedly fierce. When they went crazy, they could even force the Jinyiwei. Soon, some civil officials were beaten to death.
"Cool!"
