Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 265 Restructuring the Imperial Examination! 【Seek full order】

Zhu Yuanzhang was beautiful in his heart, but he snorted coldly on his face: "Sent to Yinzhou overseas? Wouldn't it be cheaper for these rebels?"

Zhu Han hurriedly said: "As the folk saying goes, waste is reused, it really kills them, it's too wasteful!"

Hearing such words in the past, these civil servants may have been furious long ago, but at this moment, it is not an exaggeration to say that they listened to Lun's voice, and they almost nodded crazily, yes yes yes, we are all trash, please forgive us Damn it!

At this moment, these officials lost their minds, and some small thoughts were almost written on their faces. Zhu Yuanzhang almost didn't laugh, but he seemed to be thinking on the surface, and then said reluctantly: "Forget it, it's cheaper for them!"

"Then formally issued an order: "Draft the order, Hou Fang and Huang Jiuyan's henchmen should be punished by the family for their crimes, but..."

"I remember the virtue of God's love for life. No matter whether it is an official of the imperial court, an official of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, or a student of Dongshan College, the whole family will be spared from death. They will be exiled overseas in Yinzhou and educate the local aborigines on behalf of Daming, and make atonement for their sins!"

With a decree, the officials who were still kneeling in the hall finally breathed a sigh of relief, well, there is no need to die!
Then, everyone shouted long live with gratitude!
"The emperor is benevolent!"

"Your Majesty, the famous emperor through the ages!"

"The sinful minister thanked the Lord Long En, long live long live long live long live!"

During the quarrel, there were all the words of gratitude to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Han just thought it was extremely funny. When Zhu Yuanzhang rewarded each of these people, they all felt that they deserved it and were arrogant.

Now Zhu Yuanzhang exiled them to the Americas, but they are all sincerely grateful.

Absurd to the extreme.

The more Zhu Han thought about it, the more amusing he became, he couldn't help but shook his head, and then his spirit lifted.

Now that the gang of diehards are gone, the court can be regarded as cleared. Although there are a large number of vacancies left and no one is in charge, in Zhu Han's opinion, it is a great thing.

In the past few years, the new imperial examinations have actually selected many talents, and the training at the grassroots level has long been enough, but the door to advancement has been controlled by the diehards.

For many important official positions, talents from the new system of imperial examinations have no chance at all.

Well now, finally take this opportunity to sweep away these diehards, and those young officials who have been unable to make progress for many years can fill these vacant positions at any time.

This is also part of Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang's plan.

As for the military attache, he would be even happier.

This group of sour scholars who look down on themselves every day finally got out, and they don't have to listen to these flies buzzing anymore.

As for the attitude of the exiled officials themselves, let alone, in a word, it’s good to be alive, and it’s even better if the whole family is alive!
Anyway, the matter of sending a large number of officials and their families to America is settled.

Everyone is very satisfied, including the people who were assigned are also very satisfied, it is so outrageous!
But Zhu Han remembered one more thing, this hand must be put away!

Seeing him take a step forward, he said loudly to Zhu Yuanzhang: "I report to your majesty, I have something to do, please ask your majesty to judge!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was also taken aback. When discussing with Wu Qi before, he didn't say that.

Although he was muttering in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang still caught it: "What's the matter?"

"The Kong family is also involved in this case. I dare to ask Your Majesty, how should we punish?"

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han's forged new Confucianism can fool others.

But it is fake after all.

There are too many flaws in front of the serious Confucian family, which has always been a hidden danger.

Furthermore, the Dongshan College incident in Zhejiang also had the shadow of the Kong family behind it, and Zhu Han naturally couldn't let them go.

In today's Ming Dynasty, Confucianism is one school, and the Qufu Confucian family is basically not worth mentioning. Only Nankong still has a little fighting power. It just so happens that this time, it will be done in one pot, and the last hidden danger will be completely wiped out.

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang heard it, he understood what Zhu Han meant.

Pretentiously, he scolded: "How to punish? Didn't I finish my decree just now, exile the whole family overseas in Yinzhou, and civilize the natives of Yin, do you still want to plead for those rebellious party members?"

Although Hou Fang's sect is related to Nan Kong, if it is accurately discussed, it has long been out of the scope of the Nine Clans, and there is no room for irreversibility in the middle, but at this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's words can be regarded as completely dispelling this matter. It's a given!

Song Lian, who was kneeling at the front, wanted to plead for Nan Kong, but after hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, he quickly shut his mouth tightly.

The decree has been made, and Mao Xiang suddenly becomes majestic again.

With a shout, a large number of Jinyiwei came in, and dragged out all the officials related to Hou Fang, Zhang Hong, Liu Fulin, and Huang Yanjiu. This time, the prisoners cooperated extremely well, and no one made a big noise. Noisy.

Afterwards, Mao Xiang hurriedly withdrew and went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to get people.

This time, officials from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, plus scholars from Dongshan College, are a big job!

Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen, and Song Lian glanced at each other, each sighing bitterly in their hearts.

From now on, Confucianism of Confucianism is very different from before, and I don't know whether it is a disaster or a blessing...

As for the scholars and officials in Zhejiang...

Thinking of this, the three felt even more bitter.

Since then, Zhejiang has been completely controlled by His Majesty the Emperor and His Highness the King of England from the officials to the people, and the three of them have no shame in calling themselves the leaders of Zhejiang scholars...

Hangzhou, on the bank of the West Lake, Qixia Ridge, peach blossoms are in full bloom, a sea of ​​fragrant snow!

Today is a big day for all Zhejiang scholars.

With the support of Nankong, Hou Fang, the inspector of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Zhang Hong, the prefect of Hangzhou, and Liu Fulin, the governor of Zhejiang, called all the famous scholars in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to establish Dongshan College!

Liu Fulin will be the dean of the college, and Hou Fang and Zhang Hong will be the deputy deans.

Immediately, the scholars in the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions were excited, and they heard the news one by one, scrambling to come to enroll as apprentices!

Since the reform of the imperial examination system, these students who only know the four books and five classics to do stereotyped essays have been completely dumbfounded.

If you don't take the exam by yourself, you can't take the exam by the imperial court. This imperial exam is still a fart!

Therefore, they could only stay at home, scolding the court for mischief, and Zhu Han, who advocated the reform of the imperial examination system, for bewitching the saints. Apart from that, they couldn't do anything.

There is no way, there are so many students, and there is not one who can take the lead!
Well now, the inspector of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the magistrate of Hangzhou, and the governor of Zhejiang are going to stand up for me and others. If they don't show their loyalty now, when will they wait?
The most important thing is that they have also heard that these three bigwigs intend to conduct their own "little imperial examination"!
In other words, as long as I can enter Dongshan College, the three adults will be my teachers. Even if I can't put myself in the court, but under the operation of these three, I will be an official in Jiangsu and Zhejiang for a generation. It's not impossible!

This is simply after the imperial court changed the imperial examination, these three adults opened a window for the students!
These days, no one is smarter than anyone else. After figuring this out, since three days ago, there have been more than 1000 students who have come to Qixia Ridge, and today it has reached [-].

With such a big commotion, many wealthy businessmen and landlords in the vicinity were attracted.

But when I learned that the three high officials held a meeting here, I was even more delighted. This is a rare opportunity to build relationships. For a while, many wealthy businessmen even called their friends and friends. After a rough calculation, the number of people was almost four Thousands.

The innermost part of the gathering was a high platform. On the high platform, Hou Fang and the other three did not wear official uniforms, but Eguanbo belts, dressed as celebrities, and sat on straw mats.

Looking at the dark crowd under the stage, most of them were young scholars, the three of them were extremely satisfied.

Liu Fulin stroked his black beard gratifiedly: "Okay, okay! These are the seeds of Confucianism, there is still hope for Confucianism!"

Hou Fang also had a smile all over his face, and then he sneered again and again: "The King of England hides evil intentions, and the emperor favors and trusts the traitor king. They think that changing the imperial examinations will break my tradition of holy learning. Bah! It's just wishful thinking!"

"Hey, brother Hou, calm down!"

Zhang Hong calmly poured a cup of hot tea for the two, and then said leisurely: "Since ancient times, the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats have always ruled the world. If the imperial examinations are held a few more times, how could there be a riot for the Red Scarf Army!"

Speaking of this, the three of them were in a trance.

When the Yuan Dynasty ruled China, it was actually the golden age for these scholar-officials.

These barbarians don't know how to govern the country, so they delegate all the people's livelihood power to the scholars, as long as they pay the food and taxes on time, and then bribe the dignitaries...

These Mongolians don't care what you do there!

As a result, Emperor Zhu drove away the Mongols, which seemed to have restored China, but it was not a good thing for the scholar class in these places.

Having tasted the taste of power, who would want to hand it over again?
Especially now that the emperor and the king of England are actually tampering with the imperial examinations, this is going to break the roots of scholars...

It’s tolerable, it’s unbearable!

The three of them, who were in a good mood at first, suddenly lost their mood when they thought of this incident.

Zhang Hong shook his head, dispelled these distracting thoughts, and comforted the other two: "Don't worry! It is impossible to rule the world without us disciples of the holy school!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Hong showed disdain again on his face: "The emperor and the king of Ying are two brothers who are born as mud-legged cowherds, how do you know the twists and turns between the imperial court, officialdom and ruling the world? "

"If they suffer a lot, they will naturally invite us, the disciples of saints who have studied the Four Books and Five Classics, respectfully, back to the court!"

Hearing this, Liu Fulin and Hou Fang nodded one after another: "That's exactly the reason!"

If the words of these three people are spread, they will be treasonous words.

But they already disdain the origins of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han in their hearts. In addition, the reform of the imperial examination system almost cut off their official careers. no.

Suddenly Liu Fulin asked Hou Fang: "Has anyone come from Nankong today?"

It's okay if you don't mention this, but Hou Fang's expression is not very good when you mention it, he just said with a slight sarcasm: "Kong Mingde wrote to me, saying that the imperial court has become more and more dissatisfied with Nan Kong recently, so he won't come today It's..."

Speaking of this, Hou Fang no longer concealed the anger in his heart: "I don't know what he is afraid of. The court rules the sky and the earth, so can it still let him go out to relax?"

"We set up an academy and got it going, but he didn't show his face anymore. What's this called?!"

Hou Fang was very annoyed, he was clearly slapping his relative in the face!
Watching Hou Fang's undisguised expression of dissatisfaction, Liu Fulin and Zhang Hong looked at each other helplessly.

It is true that Kong Mingde did not do it properly, but the two of them knew the difficulties in it.

Bei Kong was already accused of being a traitor by Emperor Zhu, and the court did not show much kindness to Nan Kong. From this point of view, Nan Kong's attitude that it is better to do more than to do less is indeed no problem.

It was almost time for people to talk. The three of them looked at each other and slowly stood up from the high platform.

Everyone in the audience knew that it was the three senior officials who were about to speak, and fell silent for a moment.

Among the three, Liu Fulin has the highest official position, so he is doing his part to speak on behalf of the three at this moment.

Liu Fulin arched his hands and said in a loud voice: "Students, the old man, together with Mr. Hou Fanghou, the inspector of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Mr. Zhang Hongzhang, the prefect of Hangzhou, were entrusted by Kong Mingde of Nankong, to build this place by the side of the West Lake, perched on the ridge. Dongshan College..."

"All the students love you and come to join us. The old man, Mr. Hou and Mr. Zhang are so grateful!"

Hou Fang, who was standing behind, smiled with satisfaction. It was also Hou Fang's idea to bring Kong Mingde into Liu Fulin's speech.

As soon as Liu Fulin finished speaking, there were all kinds of echoes from the audience.

"Master Liu is serious. This is for the benefit of our Zhejiang scholars. How can we not come!"

"The three adults are highly respected, and I am grateful for helping the Confucianism sect to advance!"

"Today's demons are disrupting the sage's orthodoxy, and we need old masters like the three adults to put things right!"

"His Majesty the Emperor was bewitched by the treacherous king and changed the imperial examinations without permission. Your Majesty built Dongshan Academy to protect the Confucianism. His merits are immeasurable!"

"Hey, what a treacherous king is bewitching, it is clearly the foolish king who has perverted and joined forces with the treacherous king to disrupt the saint's learning!"

The students below, responding to each other, began to complain angrily, and their words became more and more fierce.

The whole room is full of their own people, and they become presumptuous.

On the high platform, the three of them looked at each other calmly, each showing a look of satisfaction!
That's right, that's the way it is. Only in this way can these scholars' hatred for the imperial court be aroused and they can be united together.

Hou Xiang took a step forward: "Everyone, please stop your righteous indignation for a while! The imperial court's system has its own reasons, and we shouldn't criticize it like this, let alone disrespect the Holy One..."

As soon as this remark came out, many students immediately changed their colors. Just as they were about to ask questions, Hou Fang immediately said: "However, we don't care about the imperial court's system, but we must defend the way of saints!"

"We set up Dongshan College and gathered scholars from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, not to fight against the imperial court, but to preserve the seeds of holy learning!"

"The reform of the imperial examination system, in our opinion, is of course a disaster for the sages, but your majesty does not listen to the advice. We, as ministers, cannot be criticized, but we can't just sit idly by..."

"Dongshan College is one of our ways to deal with it!"
