Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 528

As the emperor, Zhu Yunying's expression was indifferent. He couldn't understand all the turmoil in the court these days.Zhu Yunying naturally knew what kind of mentality the civil and military officials had.

If the king wants to check and balance the court, he can't just deal with it simply and rudely, but also needs some scheming and means.As for the civil and military officials, they seem to be afraid of the imperial power, but sometimes they will continue to test the emperor and find ways to restrict the imperial power.

Even if he is as domineering as Lao Zhu, not every will will be carried out seriously, and Lao Zhu sometimes withdraws his orders.

Zhu Yunying naturally knew that he did not have the authority to do some things that even Lao Zhu could not do.Now he seems to have a lot of prestige. Apart from the big backer of Lao Zhu, it is more or less the result of governing and supervising the country in the past few years, and it is also because he has done some things in the past two years since he became the throne.

Emperor Yingshi wanted to rectify the administration of officials, and that was no problem.

Even some people with ulterior motives and bad positions understand that once the government is corrupt, a dynasty will almost begin to weaken.Therefore, it seems normal for the ambitious Emperor Yingshi to rectify the administration of officials.

It's just that for many people, how to rectify the administration of officials, or to what extent the administration of officials should be rectified this time, is worth fighting in court. This is not a trivial matter, and it concerns many people Interests.

It is impossible to show weakness at this time, and there is no fear of offending Long Yan at this time.Because many people also understand that if they are suppressed by the emperor this time, it will be really difficult to do something in the future.

Don't think that this is just a matter of an official official anthology of the Ministry of official affairs, it's not that simple.

Huang Zicheng was a little worried, but also said righteously, "Your Majesty, during the Jin Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the court did not restrict scholars. There were broad-minded scholars and elegant scholars. Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi's father and son calligraphy were famous, and Gu Kaizhi's paintings were sought after by the world. At that time, there were Li Taibai, Bai Juyi, and Yan Zhenqing on the other side, among the important scholars in the imperial court."

At this moment, Chang Mao couldn't help laughing suddenly, with a completely sneering attitude.

Huang Zicheng was furious, glared at Chang Mao and asked, "Mr. Kai Ping, what's so ridiculous about the words of an official?"

"The romance of the Jin Dynasty? Then why don't you say that you are going to the south? We remember that the Central Plains were repeatedly plundered by foreign races, and it seemed that the government and education were weak, that is, those aristocratic families could talk about elegance." Chang Mao smiled and sneered. look, "You are elegant over there, the Han people in the north have become two-legged sheep!"

At this time, Feng Cheng also said, "Kaiping's words are reasonable. We also remember that Li Taibai's poems were handed down, but Yan Zhenqing was hanged and killed by a traitor general. We seem to remember that Yan Zhenqing's elder brother Yan Gaoqing was beheaded by An Lushan. His son, Yan Jiming, was also beheaded. The second calligraphy copybook in the world that day was Yan Zhenqing's sobbing "Memory to My Nephew."

Huang Zicheng was furious, and said to Feng Cheng, "The Yan family is unparalleled in loyalty, who in the world doesn't praise it?"

Seeing that Feng Cheng didn't seem to find a rebuttal, Huang Zicheng, the king of mouthpieces, continued, "There are countless people in the Song Dynasty. Ouyang Xiu, Sansu, Zeng Gong and others left countless famous works handed down from generation to generation. It is natural for people to see the prosperity of the Song Dynasty. , magnanimity. The imperial court treats scholars preferentially, and scholars praise them."

Zhu Yunying, who was sitting on the dragon chair, had no expression on his face. He seemed to have heard what Huang Zicheng meant.

It's not just Zhu Yunying who can hear it, except for a very few very naive people, everyone can more or less hear it.

After all, he felt that the Ming Dynasty did not treat scholars as favorably as the Tang and Song Dynasties. Huang Zicheng seemed to have found some reasons, and he could make use of it a little bit to gain more power for the scholars of the Ming Dynasty, and to strive for some preferential treatment.

After all, in the eyes of many people, the privileges in the hands of scholars in the Ming Dynasty were too few.It is much better than ordinary people, but in fact, compared with the Song Dynasty, the treatment of scholars is much worse.

Even in the Yuan Dynasty, it seemed that scholars were classified as the ninth class. At first glance, Confucian children were also "human servants".However, the treatment of some aristocratic families is still very good. This is also the reason why many scholars "have their homeland in their hearts" at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, because the Yuan Dynasty gave those people enough benefits.

Huang Zicheng continued, "Your Majesty, the minister of Qing officials just went to the brothel to drink after leaving the yamen, and just chatted with friends, what is the crime? The court's laws are strict, and they try their best to suppress scholars and scholars. This move may damage the style of the Ming Dynasty!"

Chang Mao couldn't listen anymore, and laughed, "Then we can tell, you scholars can't write a poem if you don't go to a prostitute. Then we should say it, if Wu Xun doesn't go to a brothel If you are an official, you will lose your guts, and if we don’t beat up a few acid scholars, we will lose our blood!"

As soon as Chang Mao's words fell, the civil servants in the court could be said to be collectively angry.This is not just Chang Mao slandering and belittling civil officials, but also provoking the civil official group and stimulating scholars.

The Wu Xun Group is naturally confident, and they naturally have sufficient psychological advantages in the face of the civil servant group. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Wu Xun Group has had an absolute upper hand so far.Even if the emperor suppresses Wu Xun from time to time, it doesn't affect the 'domineering' of the Wu Xun Group at all.

Seeing that her uncle was about to make a fist, Zhu Yunying hurriedly scolded in a cold voice, "It's so noisy in Fengtian Hall, how decent it is!"

All the civil and military officials, who were busy arguing and even about to make a move in the next step, immediately knelt down and apologized obediently.I don't necessarily know that I'm wrong, but I also understand that I need to express my attitude at this time, because these things are indeed a bit outrageous.

Zhu Yunying looked at Chang Mao, with a sense of blame, "Duke Kaiping, you are the Duke of the Ming Dynasty, and even my own uncle. The court should be cautious in words and deeds, and don't speak foul language, let alone slander the scholars of the Ming Dynasty. What you just said is really ugly."

Chang Mao knelt down obediently, with a look of 'sincerity and fear', "I am guilty!"

Zhu Yunying's words seemed a little harsh, as if he was scolding Chang Mao, and even seemed to be a little bit defending scholars.But many people also understand that the emperor is just putting on a show.If the emperor really wanted to deal with Chang Mao, he would definitely not be fooled by such a simple few words.

In the final analysis, the matter of Changmao was terminated by the emperor in advance.Many civil officials wanted to use the topic to impeach Chang Mao, but there was no more context. The emperor laid an ambush in advance and did not give these people a chance to play.

The emperor's blatant protection of Chang Mao really chilled some scholars.But it seems that there is no other way, this kind of thing is not once or twice, more or less I feel a little used to it.

It's just that among these civil servants, some people think that the emperor seems to be partial to Chang Mao, but that's only because Chang Mao is a gangster who doesn't care about his special status, and it's not easy for His Majesty to deal with it. After all, Chang Mao is the uncle of Emperor Yingshi Well, the emperor still needs to care about his reputation.

In fact, Emperor Yingshi was more or less protective of scholars, and did not let Chang Mao continue to mess around, and did not further suppress scholars, which is also acceptable.

Zhu Yunying may or may not know the thoughts of these civil servants.But it is obvious that Zhu Yunying really doesn't care about such a few things, what he cares about is other things.

Huang Zicheng is so clever, sometimes Zhu Yunying really doesn't know what to say.As far as Huang Zicheng's talent is concerned, there must be some, otherwise it would be impossible to become Hongwu's Huiyuan in 18 years.

It's just that in Zhu Yunying's mind, this person is really a rotten Confucian who is stupid in reading, reckless, resourceful, and knowledgeable.This guy's political knowledge is too superficial, and many times the so-called admiration of ancient rituals is just talk on paper.

"Huang Aiqing." Zhu Yunying became serious, looked at Huang Zicheng and asked, "What you said just now is that the country's laws are strict. Presumably not only Aiqing knows, but other people also know. My secretary of the Qing Dynasty clearly knows that the court prohibits officials from having sex with prostitutes. How do we calculate it? Is it to ignore the court’s laws, or should those who don’t know not be guilty?”

Huang Zicheng was dumbfounded all of a sudden, what he said was 'morality' and reason.However, the emperor is now talking about the law, which is a completely different starting point.

Zhu Yunying continued to ask, "According to what Aiqing said, my official minister just went to the brothel with some friends to talk about Fengya, but his friends didn't have many close friends, but there were many officials who were appraisers. How about this Fengya?" about?"

Huang Zicheng was further dumbfounded, the main reason is that he is actually a polite person, and he actually doesn't have so many flirts.Some of the things mentioned by the emperor are beyond the outline, and there are some things that are not in line with Huang Zicheng's arguments.

A pedantic scholar like Huang Zicheng doesn't have much political wisdom, but it doesn't mean that other people don't have such insights. They can actually see many problems now.

Looking around, Zhu Yunying asked slowly, "I think all of you Aiqing have heard what Huang Aiqing said. My civil and military skills should be law-abiding and self-disciplined, or should I take the lead in ignoring the court's laws and regulations!"

This time, all the civil and military officials also knelt down to plead guilty, mainly because the emperor said so, which seemed to be very dissatisfied.

In fact, many people are also blaming Huang Zicheng, this sour scholar is really an asshole.You want to fight for the treatment of scholars, and it is no problem if you want His Majesty to get close to scholars.But you can't say that, directly pointing out that civil and military officials can not abide by the law.

Having said that, let alone a stricter emperor like Emperor Yingshi, even some more lenient emperors may not be able to accept such an argument.

Because of Huang Zicheng's point of view, it's simply that everyone is playing badly together, and the court doesn't care about it!
