Chapter 468
"Your Highness, Ren Hengtai, Minister of Rituals, is waiting outside the palace to see you..."

Zhu Yunxi and Xu Miaojin loved each other, you and I had breakfast in the Palace of Spring Harmony, and before they had time to say any more sweet words, the warm atmosphere was interrupted by Wang Zhong.

Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but glanced at him, he was so blind!
People who have never been married don't know what it's like!

Seeing this, Wang Zhong was also a little embarrassed, and stood by the door resentfully.

"The imperial court is the most important thing, your highness, let's go..." Xu Miaojin said reasonably.

Zhu Yunxi is not a dandy and ignorant person, how could Wang Zhong really blame him when he came to report, but he just used this to express his importance to himself, Xu Miaojin still knows this well.

Although he knew that he did it on purpose, he was still happy in his heart. After all, cheating is also an expression of love.

When you don't pretend, and you don't even bother to pretend,
Hehe...that would be dangerous...

Zhu Yunxi grabbed her hand, she wanted to escape but was still firmly held by him, turned to look at Wang Zhong who was at the door, and couldn't help but blush.

Wang Zhong knew that he was an eyesore here, so he quickly retreated. Whether His Highness would blame him may be a matter of debate, but this wave of dog food... can really feed people!

Zhu Yunxi said: "Didn't Grandpa Huang ask me to take a rest for a few days? Why are they still bothering me? I really have no vision!"

Xu Miaojin blushed and said with a smile: "Your Highness, you have been resting in the palace for five days. I don't know how much the government has accumulated. If you don't care about the government, others should gossip. Go quickly..."

"Ma'am, wait a moment, I'll come as soon as I go..." Before leaving, she still didn't forget to take advantage of it.

At this time, Wang Zhong outside the door hurriedly looked up at the sky, not daring to look around.

The Lord is flirting and scolding, that's a couple's business, if you look around, it's "private spying".

Fortunately, I'm not an angry young man, otherwise I wouldn't dare to watch this flirting...

"My minister greets His Highness, Your Highness Wanan!"

"You don't have to be polite, Ren Shilang, just sit down and talk."

"Thank you, Your Highness." After Ren Hengtai took his seat, he expressed his intention of coming: "Your Highness, I have come to seek an audience this time for the purpose of establishing schools in various places.

In Mizhi, Jiaxian, Yanchuan, Ganquan, Fengxian and other places in Shaanxi, county schools need to be established, and there are still some places that lack teaching instructions, and they are also selected by the imperial court..."

Zhu Yunxi said: "I will instruct each minister to announce the political envoys to cooperate with the Ministry of Rites, and then the Ministry of Officials will handle the appointment of the educating candidates from various places. In the end, you went to Qi Tai to ask..."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Ren Hengtai reported several things about the Ministry of Rites, and Zhu Yunxie also responded one by one.

Seeing that he had finished speaking, he took out a memorial from the pile of memorials on the table and said, "This is the list of commendations submitted by Shandong Rizhao. Take a look."

Ren Hengtai took it, opened it and looked at it, his brows were slightly frowned, and his expression became complicated.

Tried to say: "Your Highness, I thought that what this Jiang Boer man did was wrong, because his mother was ill and could not be cured for a long time, he had the heart to chop off the head of his three-year-old son and sacrifice to Mount Tai!

In order to ask the God of Mount Tai to bless his mother's recovery, he did such a cruel thing!Weichen thinks this move is really absurd!It can be said that he has violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and His Royal Highness thinks that he should be held accountable! "

"Ah."

Zhu Yunxi suppressed his anger, and said calmly: "Although what Jiang Boer did was inappropriate, it should be done... But he was filial after all, and he killed his son to honor his mother. Don't you, the Ministry of Rites, Should I write an article praising Jiang Boer's filial deeds?"

Ren Hengtai moved his lips, feeling something was wrong in his heart, and said bluntly: "Your Highness, a son serves his mother. He respects his mother when he stays at home, and he is happy when he is old-age. Stay close.

But among the people, in order to show their filial piety and gain reputation among the people, some people would not hesitate to injure themselves and destroy their own bodies, and some even sang their buttocks as medicine,

However, I feel that this kind of behavior of expressing filial piety is not a long-term way to honor parents, and it must not be advocated, otherwise everyone will follow suit. "

After a pause, Ren Hengtai said again: "Your Highness, if someone can't cut his butt, he can cut his own heart, and if he can't, he can kill his own son.

This not only violates human nature and hurts lives, but also cuts off children and grandchildren, which is actually the greatest unfilial piety!Disregarding human relations and obliterating human nature, how is it different from animals?
How can such a beast be called filial piety?Therefore, Weichen felt that such a person should be punished and absolutely not commended! "

Zhu Yunxi nodded in satisfaction, and ordered: "The order of the lonely king! Jiang Bo'er exterminated ethics, brutally killed, and handed over to a judge! The magistrate of Rizhao County does not distinguish between right and wrong, black and white. He issued a decree that he will not be promoted for three years!"

"Your Highness is discerning and fair, and I admire you!" Ren Hengtai respectfully respected him.

Zhu Yunxi said again: "Ren Shi Lang, as you said, this kind of filial piety must not be advocated, otherwise I don't know how many things can be done to destroy humanity!
It stands to reason that such a memorial should not be on the desk of the lonely king!But some officials are not ashamed, but want the court to commend them, it is really stupid!
However, it can also be seen from this that there is a lack of regulations on the recognition of filial piety, and the Ministry of Rites should formulate laws and regulations for the recognition of filial piety, so that officials from all over the country have laws and regulations to follow. "

Ren Hengtai took the order and said: "Yes, I obey!"

Zhu Yunxi took out another memorial and said: "This is also for commendation. There was a woman in Xiangtan, Huguang. After her husband died, she begged for death many times but was rescued.
Later, he chose to go on a hunger strike, but he still failed to die. In the end, he broke the porcelain plate and cut his wrist to die while no one was paying attention.

Xiangtan County asked the court to commend its chastity and build a memorial archway. This memorial has been suppressed by Gu Wang for a while, but there is no instruction. What do you think of this matter? "

Ren Hengtai frowned tightly this time, thought for a while and said: "Your Highness, this matter is a bit hard to say..."

"Oh, what's the bad word?"

Ren Hengtai said: "Your Highness, judging from the performance of this woman who sacrificed herself to her husband, she is indeed chaste, but I feel that this is not advisable.
Even if his husband is gone, the deceased is gone, how can the living die so easily, besides, once this kind of trend spreads, it will inevitably lead to the trend of burial..."

Ren Hengtai's eyes looked at the floor, and he didn't say much.

Zhu Yunxi understands that this wind cannot be opened!

Even though this woman is a husband who loves her dearly, feels that life is hopeless, and is willing to follow her husband to death.

But how many women are there with such deep affection?

Once the imperial court commends them, the local government will beat gongs and drums to promote their virtues, and build chastity archways for their families, then others will follow suit!

At that time, once a husband dies, even if the wife doesn't want to die, she will be said to be unclean!
Others will say, if you are chaste, why don't you die?Why doesn't the government set up a chastity archway for you?

For the sake of that memorial archway and the reputation of the family, some people will use various methods, all kinds of soft and hard tricks, and they must force the wife to death!

Etiquette cannibalism is not just talk!

Zhu Yunxie said approvingly: "My lord Ren is indeed the Xiangyang Ren that the emperor spoke of, and he has a profound view on the matter of etiquette. This trend is really not suitable for opening up. If it spreads to the underground, it may not be what it will become!"

"His Highness Shengming!"

Ren Hengtai is a native of Xiangyang, Huguang. He was the only number one scholar in Xiangfan in the Ming Dynasty, and also the first number one scholar in history to be commended by an imperial edict to build a number one scholar square.

His mother was a princess of the Ugurun family in the Yuan Dynasty, from Semu, and his wife was Mongolian.

In the 21st Wuchen court examination, Zhu Yuanzhang personally reviewed the papers. After reading, he praised Ren Hengtai for his "clear strategy and taking the world as his own responsibility".
And "the name of the title is promoted, and the gate of the stone is erected." It was he who ordered the emperor to build a memorial archway for the champion of the new department.

Zhu Yuanzhang attached great importance to his learning and practice, and often called him "Xiangyang Ren" instead of his name, which is why Zhu Yunxi said so.

Zhu Yunxi said again: "Ren Shilang, what do you think of the biographies of women?"

In the summer, Jin Yiwei reported that Xie Jin intended to recompile the biographies of Lie Nu, and he wanted to use this book of etiquette to influence the atmosphere of Ming Dynasty and the marriage of the royal family.

Biography of Lie Nu is a must-read book for the daughters of rich families, and it is also a model for teaching daughters how to behave. With such a book, it can influence the people of Ming Dynasty!

This is what books teach!

And how can such an important book be edited casually!

Those people with ulterior motives really want to put poison in it, really want to use these books to poison people's hearts and subtly affect people, that would be too hateful!
A poisonous book, this will affect the court and the people's customs!

Ren Hengtai also heard about this matter, so he said: "Your Highness, I feel that the compilation of biography of women should be decided by the imperial court, and it should be checked by many people to avoid mistakes.

In addition, no one can compile it, not even celebrities!The imperial court should also have a ban, and those who violate it will be severely punished! "

Zhu Yunxi said: "You are right, if everyone can write books, especially for books that affect the national economy and the common people, it should be restricted!
Those men in the school can read and write, and can read extensively, so they won't be confused, but those ladies and women who are in the standard don't have this ability to discern...

If there is really something that is not suitable, and they foolishly accept everything, then it will be troublesome! "

"What Your Highness said is true, but we should pay attention to such problems." Ren Hengtai said.

"I will report this matter to Grandpa Huang, and I will make calculations later."
