Chapter 362

"Is there really nothing I can do to wait? Let's see how it looks like this."

"His Royal Highness, if he is too ruthless this time, isn't this going to dig our roots?"

"I've already sent the letter to the family, and everyone should also send the letter. It must not be allowed to do so in other places."

"But this kind of targeting, if it provokes Longyan's anger, I will wait."

"No one in life has died since ancient times, and keep his loyalty to reflect the history. Between us, there is no fear of life and death. Besides, as the saying goes, the law does not blame the public, your Majesty will."

In the Imperial Academy, there was a lot of discussion. This is a key point. After all, the Imperial Academy can be said to be a top place for literati.

It's just that the last official who spoke got stuck when he talked about His Majesty.

Because according to His Majesty's character, there is no law that does not blame the public, and it is directly punished by the nine clans, clean and tidy, without hesitation.

Everyone who was originally filled with righteous indignation became a little stiff after being told this.

Unkind eyes cast away.

Isn't this guy His Majesty's undercover agent?
Zhang Dao of the Imperial Academy: "This is the end of the matter, and the news has been released. There has been a letter just now. At present, the teachers recruited by the Qunying Chamber of Commerce have probably resigned."

"It seems that everyone can still understand the power of it. Even if His Majesty intends to punish, it is impossible to kill at will. There must be a reason."

"If we can form a group, we can't kill all the literati and officials in the capital, so who will govern this Great Ming?"

"The last thing to rely on is not us scholars."

Zhang Xin's words immediately aroused everyone's sense of agreement.

The emperor alone does not exist to govern the world, but to govern hundreds of officials. If the hundred officials are gone, then how can we talk about governing the world.

Just at this time, an old man walked slowly.

Someone saw it and immediately bowed and said, "Mr. Bai is well."

Hearing this, everyone looked at it, and it was Bai Xinwu, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy.

"Mr. Bai is well."
Everyone bows.

After Zhang Xin saluted, he looked at Bai Xinwu who came alone, and couldn't help but asked in doubt: "Mr. Bai, why didn't Mr. Sanwu come here? Could it be that he is unwell?"

There were more than ten people in the lobby of the Imperial Academy, and they were also a little puzzled.

Liu Sanwu, as the current head of literati, naturally has a great leading role in such things, and just now Bai Xinwu went to invite Mr. Sanwu.

Hearing this, Bai Xinwu shook his head and said, "Mr. Sanwu said that he is already old, so he won't bother with this matter."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked disappointed.

Liu Sanwu is almost the spiritual leader of the Hanlin Academy. If he didn't participate, everyone felt a little dull, as if he lacked passion.

The most important thing is that some people are vaguely worried.

Could it be that Liu Sanwu and Liu Hanlin knew about the inside story, so they avoided this matter.

"Mr. Sanwu, at this juncture, is so..."

One said angrily, but his mouth was immediately covered by his colleagues and friends.

Talking bad about your boss in the Hanlin Academy, this kind of behavior, you still want to hang out in the literati circle.

After the man's mouth was covered, he understood all of a sudden, and immediately stopped talking.

Looking at the disappointed crowd, Zhang Xin frowned all of a sudden.

He is now the leader of the younger generation, such as Bai Xindao and Liu Sanwu, who are already very old. Those who are weighing on his head only need a few more years to survive.

This action, or idea, was also proposed by Zhang Xin, and then organized and planned.

The purpose of it is very simple. A literati like Zhang Xin cares more about his status in the literati circle. This status is invisible but very particular.

Like Liu Sanwu, Zhu Yuanzhang had to invite him here back then.

The influence of the literati circle is much greater than that of the officials of Fengtian Temple. Even if it is a few ministers who control the real power, they have to respectfully salute and call Mr. Liu when they see Liu Sanwu.

The reason is that everyone has a time to retire, and the position of Minister is often changed.

If it fails in the literati circle, I am afraid that the way forward will be cut off.

These days, all public opinion, or public opinion, is under the pen of the literati. If anyone falls out with the literati as a whole, their reputation will be bad, and everything will be lost.

On the contrary, as long as the reputation is good, it doesn't matter what the imperial examination is, and you can still be an official.

This is what Zhang Xin is so enthusiastic about doing this matter.

It's just that now that Liu Sanwu doesn't show up, Zhang Xin feels a little helpless.

After a short pause, Zhang Xin's eyes brightened and he said, "Don't worry, everyone, I think Mr. Sanwu's move has a lot of meaning."

When everyone heard the words, they all looked at Zhang Xin.

Zhang Xin did not hesitate, and said bluntly: "Mr. Sanwu has such a status. If he comes to participate in person, the influence will be too great, and the Imperial Academy will become the target of public criticism, which will cause Jinyiwei to pay attention to supervision."

"In this way, we will follow up and do everything with fear, and it is difficult to perform."

"On the other hand, if Mr. Sanwu avoids it now, it won't have such a big impact. We have some things, so we can arrange them better."

Hearing these remarks, everyone was in high spirits.

Even Bai Xinwu cast approving glances.

When he went to look for Liu Sanwu, he didn't even see him face to face, and he felt a little wronged in his heart.

Everyone has a good relationship, why did they avoid this matter so much, which made Bai Xintao feel puzzled and uneasy.

Hearing what Zhang Xin said now, my heart suddenly became clear.

Some people didn't believe it: "Mr. Sanwu, do you really think so?"

Zhang Xin turned his head to look at that person, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes.

It's just a small edit, dare to question my answer?
Then he scolded: "Stupid, what kind of person is Mr. Sanwu, how can he be afraid of these things. According to what you say, Mr. Sanwu is a widow."

"Our matter, who is for ourselves, not for the clan, for future generations."

"This time is the direction of righteousness!"

Hearing such a reprimand, the editor immediately bowed his head, bowed respectfully and apologized.

When everyone saw this scene, they believed Zhang Xin's words even more.

The originally somewhat cold atmosphere returned to the hustle and bustle just now, and began to discuss plans to hinder His Royal Highness Grandson's school.

At this moment, in the inner city of the capital, in the west section of the Qinhuai River, in a house.

"Teacher, if you close the door so tightly and don't see outsiders, I'm afraid it will affect your old reputation."

A middle-aged man in his 40s spoke to Liu Sanwu who was opposite him.

There are small bridges and flowing water in the courtyard, and there are groups of koi wandering around. Even in such a cold day, it looks very lively.

Hearing this, Liu Sanwu sprinkled a handful of bait without haste, which attracted many koi to scramble for it, and then slowly said: "The old man's status in this circle has already reached the peak, and he can't go up any more. I can't come down either."

"There is no need to be overly concerned about a little face. What else is more important than life. According to His Majesty's temperament, if you really want to confront him, you are undoubtedly asking for trouble."

"Even if we really want to do it, we have to do it locally."

"But having said that, the old man also thinks that His Royal Highness Grandson's method is good. They all have impure thoughts. How many clans want to be like the Han and Tang Dynasties, a thousand-year-old family."

"So, it's not advisable, it's not advisable!"

"There is no natural literati. The old man was born in the former Yuan Dynasty. He was just a mud leg. He had to learn Mongolian and Mongolian before he was qualified to be an official."

"The officialdom is not as simple as they think."

Hearing this, the burly young man on the opposite side fell silent for a while.

What muddy legs, he knew very well in his heart that the teacher was a descendant of the Duke of Song and Chu, and his ancestors were the royal family and nobles.

Even in the Mongolian and Yuan dynasties, they were also landlords.

Since childhood, there is no shortage of food and clothing, and the house is full of classics.

The two elder brothers, Liu Gengsun and Liu Taosun, were also local celebrities. They both served as officials in the Yuan Dynasty and were killed when they encountered bandits.

If he wasn't from the same hometown as the teacher, Liu Buyi would have believed in his evil.

Liu Buyi was the one who saw the Xuanjia Guards practicing at the Zhengyangmen River and had the idea of ​​joining the army.

But thinking so, Liu Buyi still admires his teacher's character.

"It's not easy, you didn't resign as a teacher in the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, did you?" Liu Sanwu asked.

After Liu Buyi entered the city, under the guidance of Liu Sanwu, he first went to the Qunying Chamber of Commerce to apply for a teacher. With Liu Buyi's talent and learning, he could easily get fame and fame, and his talent and learning could fill three carts, so it was no problem to pass the test.

"Students will naturally not give up like others. It's just a teacher. If you enter the Chamber of Commerce, can you really go to Xuanjiawei?"

Liu Yi asked with some doubts.

From the very beginning, when Liu Buyi came to look for Liu Sanwu, he bluntly expressed his idea of ​​going to Xuanjiawei to join the army.

Anyone else would definitely reprimand him for abandoning his pen and joining the army.

If you don’t want to be a good literati, you don’t want a bright future. If you want to be a Qiuba, your brain is flooded.

But Liu Sanwu is extremely supportive of this.

Perhaps this has a lot to do with Liu Sanwu's early experience. Liu Sanwu does not have the arrogance of those young literati, nor does he look down on warriors.

Of course, civil and military disputes come and go, and suppression is a normal political tendency.

He is the current literary leader.

Hearing his little disciple's question, Liu Sanwu smiled and said: "A gentleman has six arts, rites, music, imperialism, mathematics, calligraphy, and archery. You are all excellent in these aspects."

"In front of the royal family, you have to remember that there is no distinction between civil and military. A literati can command a warrior, and a warrior needs the help of a literati. Don't be like other rotten scholars, deliberately separate yourself."

"Xuanjiawei is directly subordinate to His Royal Highness Grandson. It is not that simple to go in, and he never seeks people from outside. He always chooses from hereditary military households and descendants with meritorious service."

"If you want to enter directly, it is difficult to reach the sky. Besides, if you don't use your own advantages, what's the point?"

"His Majesty's grandson has such a thing, and the news has already spread, so there are very few literati who will go back. This is a rare opportunity for you."

"If you can perform well and catch His Highness the Grandson's eyes, you will see His Highness the Grandson in the future and tell you what's on your mind. Naturally, you will be treated preferentially."

"Enlisting in the military makes it easier to express your ambitions."

Listening to the teacher's slow explanation, Liu Buyi sighed in his heart, Jiang is still old and hot, let alone the oldest Jiang like the teacher.

Having said that, the train of thought became very clear.

It can be seen from this that Liu Sanwu is very cautious in dealing with His Highness the Grandson, and secretly guessed that he has already figured out his character many times.

If Liu Sanwu knew, Zhang Xin, Bai Xinwu and others in the Hanlin Academy would definitely laugh out loud.

He didn't think about it so much, he just didn't want to go into this muddy water.

He is getting old, but Liu Sanwu doesn't want to die, but wants to live a few more years. He feels that his body is still healthy.

At this time, a housekeeper quickly came over from outside the door: "Sir, a message came, saying that His Royal Highness ordered that all students who resigned from the Qunying Chamber of Commerce School will be expelled from the school, and Da Ming It belongs to the government and will never be hired."

"The decree will be communicated to the Ministry of Officials, and will be sent to various places, even the Overseas Talent Recruitment Center will not be available."

"All vassal states, vassal states, and tributary states to which Ming Dynasty belongs are not available."

The butler said in a hasty tone.

This is almost the same as killing them. What is the difference between them? After ten years of cold windows, what is the purpose of coming to the capital? Most of them still have fame.

Although the decree did not mention the abolition of fame, but the scholar status is gone, and the fame will naturally be gone.

Years of hard study were ruined.

Zhang Xin's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Liu Sanwu sighed: "His Royal Highness has always been underestimated by others. To be able to be alone, with the current scale, I really think it is easy to reason like His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness."

"This is the same temperament as His Majesty. He looks kind on weekdays, but once he gets annoyed, he can only eat the bitter fruit."

Having said that, Liu Sanwu paused for a moment, then asked the housekeeper, "The news has reached the Imperial Academy."

The steward replied: "It should be soon."

The current Hanlin Academy is in the imperial palace.

This is also the reason why Zhang Xin and others dare to discuss in the courtyard, because they are not supervised by Jin Yiwei, as long as there are no eunuchs, they can speak out boldly.

The transmission of news is relatively slow because it has to go through the relationship of the palace. If it is not a coincidence, it may not be known until it is out of the palace.

The procedure of entering the palace is very cumbersome, and the news cannot be delivered quickly.

"Teacher, it seems that this matter will become more and more troublesome."

Liu Yi's tone was a little sad.

Liu Sanwu nodded, sighed and said, "His Royal Highness is obviously well prepared for such an action."

"Most literati are definitely unwilling. Even the old man's family will send someone over if they want to know about it."

"But on the family side, the old man's words are still useful."

"These fools, standing opposite His Royal Highness, just don't want to live longer."

"His Royal Highness may not be able to take action, but His Majesty is happy to do it for you."

Liu Buyi asked with some puzzlement: "Teacher, the capital alone is fine, but outside the capital, it's not so easy to do things."

When Liu Sanwu heard the words, he sneered and said: "Let's see when the time comes, His Royal Highness Taisun should have a plan, and let's say, don't look down on the scholars of the world."

 I just had a cold, and the nucleic acid came again, so I shouldn't go out.
