Chapter 1211
Although it was only in the middle of March this time, the weather in the capital was still very cold. It can be said that it was the morning court with the largest number of people.

Civil and military officials are full.However, if you observe carefully, you can find that most of the military officers have the mentality of watching the excitement, and they have nothing to do with themselves.But in the civilian queue, it is serious.Many people are gearing up, waiting for Yan Shenggong to attack, and they can rush forward.

Before the emperor arrived, the civil and military officials who had already stood in line, surrounded by familiar colleagues, couldn't help whispering.

"Your Majesty, no matter how unhappy you are, will definitely show some face when Mr. Yan Sheng arrives in person?" Kong Debin said in a low voice.

Standing beside him was Ma Deli. He nodded and replied confidently: "That's for sure. Your Majesty governing the world cannot do without us scholars, and Mr. Yan Sheng is the representative of our Confucianism. It is impossible to let those Shall illiterate artisans rule the world?"

Hearing this, the person in front of him suddenly turned his head and interjected: "Don't you know that His Majesty has promoted pinyin literacy? There are also many training classes. Going out for a walk, many craftsmen can already know some characters! "

When Ma Deli heard this, his expression turned a little ugly, and he immediately retorted: "So what, I just know a few words, it's not far away! I was an official who studied hard for dozens of years, and now I can be an official. , still trembling with fear and worrying about it all day long, relying on them? Hehe..."

"That's right, even if they all know how to read and write, so what? Can they recite poems and write lyrics? Can they know how to discuss Ci Fu? Can they..." Kong Debin also immediately supported him, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by another young colleague , the other party used a surprised tone, looked at him as if he didn't know him, and said: "Are you still thinking about reciting poems and writing lyrics? Are you crazy? You don't know that His Majesty doesn't like these? Is there any poems and lyrics for the examination by the Ministry of Officials?"

Hearing this, Kong Debin was stunned, and quickly explained: "No, I don't mean that. What I mean is official contacts and interpersonal relationships. Don't you use this to judge talent? Could it be..."

Before finishing speaking, the other party turned around in disdain, but also left a sentence: "Don't use that old way of thinking, nowadays adults mostly talk about scientific and technical knowledge when they meet, you, out-of-date!"

"You...what did you say?" Kong Debin's face turned red immediately, and he even said that he was old-fashioned and outdated. Doesn't this mean that he is obsolete?How can this be tolerated, he is about to go crazy.

But Ma Deli who was beside him held him back, and said in a low voice: "The way is different, don't conspire with each other! Don't be fussy with this young man, and wait for Yan Shenggong. When the time comes, there will be a time to slap him in the face. Who is obsolete or who has gone astray?"

"Yes, you are right!" Kong Debin nodded in agreement, and said bitterly, "The teachings of the sages have been memorized in the dog's stomach, and he is also worthy of being an official!"

Hearing that, the young official in front turned his head and said with a sneer: "You think I don't know that you were given a low-level assessment in the Beijing inspection last year because you failed to meet the standards related to science and technology. If you are still recorded, you will definitely be demoted, right?"

"You..." Hearing this, Kong Debin's face, which had just returned to normal, turned red again. However, the other party is a little higher in official position, not as strong as the young man, and not as eloquent as the other party, which made him feel panicked.

Now is the early dynasty, conflicts like this are mostly in the ranks of civil servants.But after all, it is a serious occasion, whether it is the parties or the people around, they will have restraint, otherwise, if the place is changed, there may be a gang fight.Of course, there may be hope.

Because this kind of similar conflict is often the stubborn side, and someone persuades them with reasons such as "Small intolerance will lead to chaos and big plans, and don't affect Yan Shenggong's major events", and it will be considered safe.

Those who follow the old ways pin their hopes on Yan Shenggong's face.Those who are more face-saving will threaten his opponent and say: "I will keep the sage's teachings in mind, and I will follow Yan Shenggong closely and advise His Majesty."

Or, it is to win face for yourself like this: "Maintaining the Confucian way is what righteousness is for, and what I wish is also what I want, and I will not hesitate to do what is right for benevolence."

"..."

Anyway, with Yan Shenggong standing in front of them, these people dared to throw out anything. It was nothing more than a kind of thinking that there was a tall man holding up the sky when the sky fell.

Of course, these officials who spoke in conflict are basically in the back.The bosses at the front of the queue basically didn't whisper to each other, just waiting silently for the emperor to arrive.

"The emperor is here!" With the shout of the servant, the emperor finally appeared on the stage.

Emperor Chongzhen took his seat, and after the civil and military officials had finished seeing the ceremony, he scanned the courtiers below.He didn't need to deliberately feel it, he could feel the tense atmosphere underneath.The important ministers in front all had serious faces, as if they were holding back their big moves.

He naturally knew that officials in important positions such as cabinet ministers and six ministers, even if Yan Shenggong changed his mind to object, these people would not jump out to object.Because it is impossible for those old and sour Confucians who follow the old ways to be in high positions.Even if there is, it is impossible for him to sit in a high position if he has different ideas.Nowadays, these high-ranking officials, not to mention strongly supporting the promotion of science and technology, at least not opposing it is the bottom line.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen took a special look at Yan Shenggong again, and saw that he seemed to be a little more energetic when he came over, as if he was about to speak.Is this obedience or disobedience?This is a bit hard to judge!But it doesn't matter, no matter what you say publicly, I will just wait!

While thinking this way, Gao Shiyue, the eunuch on duty next to him, took a few steps forward, and shouted the opening remark of "If there is something to do, and if there is nothing to do, leave the court". The morning court officially started.

At this moment, everyone's eyes, including the chief assistant Wen Tiren, were all on Yan Shenggong.Everyone knows that today's early court is nothing more than this big event: Yan Shenggong faces the saints, maintains Confucianism, and refute fallacies such as science and technology!
Sure enough, as soon as Gao Shiyue's voice fell, Yan Shenggong straightened his appearance again, looking very solemn, then coughed, stepped out of the line, and played loudly: "I have my own play!"

"Zunza!" Emperor Chongzhen said calmly, looking at him like that.

Although this kind of dialogue of "the minister has the original performance" and "the quasi-comprehension" has been staged many times in the Forbidden City, but this time, when the dialogue fell, all the civil and military officials of the court almost held their breath. Keep your ears up, to listen to Yan Shenggong's next performance.

Many people even took a sneak peek at the emperor's reaction to see what kind of attitude the emperor had.Waiting for Huiyan Shenggong to play right, will you become angry from embarrassment?
Those officials who wrote the notebooks secretly squeezed the notebooks they kept in their sleeves, feeling their existence, and considering their actions later.

Under the attention of everyone, Yan Shenggong looked up at Emperor Chongzhen and said loudly: "When Emperor Wu of the former Han Dynasty deposed all schools of thought and only respected Confucianism. From this, Confucianism has been passed down for thousands of years. And it has not been repeated for thousands of years. , it can be seen that Confucianism is the way of my China..."

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen frowned slightly, as if this Yan Shenggong did not do what he said.In this case, I won't be polite, but if he doesn't cooperate, there will be more troubles.But the trouble is the trouble, I came here through time travel, the son of the plane, I will be afraid of this little trouble!
And the civil and military officials listened, and probably understood what Yan Shenggong wanted to express.Sure enough, it did not exceed their expectations.Immediately, some people were disappointed, but more people became excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.They touched their memorials, wishing they could be the first to rush out, echo what Yan Shenggong said, and win the title of the leader of this battle of orthodoxy, and be admired by scholars all over the world!

Wen Tiren and the others frowned when they heard this.Although they are also Confucian scholars, they deeply understand the influence of science and technology on Daming. Even if they are not the confidantes of Emperor Chongzhen, they would not want science and technology to be beaten to death by Yan Shenggong.

Xu Guangqi also touched the memorial in his sleeve, and stared at Yan Shenggong, planning to stand up and object as soon as he finished speaking.

Yan Shenggong seemed to be going all out, no one looked at him, and he still maintained his previous posture, talking freely there.Although he is a bit old and tired of traveling, his voice at this time is still very loud. It is obvious that he has prepared for a long time just for this moment: "...But in this dynasty, although I have not heard anything outside the window for a few years, but After all, I heard the rumors, especially last year. When science and technology were mentioned, they came out of nowhere and spread all over the world. In just a few years, they were vaguely compared with Confucianism and Taoism. The minister was very surprised by this. I deliberately inquired about it, only to know that this theory originated from Your Majesty, and it is His Majesty's theory. Therefore, I specially read the theory of science and technology..."

Here it comes, here it comes, Yan Shenggong has come to the emperor, the climax is here!Hearing this, those military officers with the hearts of the people who eat melons shouted loudly in their hearts, faintly excited.Everyone opened their eyes wide, looking at the impassioned Yan Shenggong, and sneaking a look at the expressionless Emperor Chongzhen, not daring to miss a moment of the exciting scene.

And those conservative civil servants also put their hearts in their throats, and they were all ready.If the emperor becomes angry from embarrassment, they will immediately support him.With Yan Shenggong standing in front, there are so many people, let's see what the emperor can do with it!

If the emperor hadn't written a book about this science and technology, they would have already started spraying it before Yan Shenggong came forward.Whoever brings it up will be sprayed to death!

It’s just that there is no way, the science and technology written by the emperor, the emperor promotes the spread of science and technology, the opponent is too strong, especially the emperor’s expansion of territory, destroying Jianlu, destroying Mongolia, the prestige is getting higher every year, so that they have self-knowledge, I didn't dare to go up and spray the emperor.It's all good now, and it's finally time to fight back.These people thought in their hearts, and their faces flushed with excitement.

Standing behind Emperor Chongzhen, Wang Cheng'en, the admiral of the East Factory, had been staring at Yan Shenggong, and when he heard his correct words, his eyes burned and he scolded his mother in his heart.I was submissive before, but I didn't expect that when it came to my head, I took a hard bite.Thanks to myself foreshadowing the emperor in advance, knowing that the emperor is magnanimous, I will not blame myself for this matter.If you meet a small-minded emperor, you can't escape the charge of incompetence, and you probably won't be able to sit in this position.

Damn, good you Yan Shenggong, just wait and see!Wang Chengen stared at Yan Shenggong, feeling ruthless in his heart.

Regarding this situation, Emperor Chongzhen had already expected it, and he didn't have wishful thinking that he could do whatever he said.There are so many spineless people in Yan Shenggong, and it is possible for someone who is a bit tougher occasionally, after all, it involves the interests of the family, and it is related to the prosperity and wealth of the Kong family for thousands of years!
But in this way, he was a little unhappy after all, and his eyes became colder.

Kong Debin kept staring at the front of the civil service team. He found that many people were eager to try, and they were waiting for Yan Shenggong to come out to speak after he finished speaking.Whether it's like-minded people like him, or those with different ways, such as Xu Guangqi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is definitely not. Seeing Xu Tianguan's appearance, he also wants to rush out.

Kong Debin knew very well in his heart that this court meeting will definitely attract the attention of the whole country, and everything at the court meeting today will definitely be spread all over the world.And the first person to support Yan Shenggong must be remembered by everyone.However, this point, others also know.

As he was thinking this way, he suddenly saw a change in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen looking at Yan Shenggong, as if he wanted to have a seizure, and suddenly an idea popped up.

If the emperor got angry first, he would probably beat others to death without giving others a chance. After all, the emperor is definitely not a fool.

If you express your support for Yan Shenggong before the emperor is angry, you can not only grab the reputation of being the first to support Yan Shenggong, but also drive other people to express their opinions before the emperor is angry. Opinions have to be kept in mind.

With this thought in his mind, Kong Debin didn't care about it. Such a good opportunity to gain reputation must not be hidden by others.Therefore, at this time, he suddenly coughed loudly, and without waiting for orders, he strode out, interrupted Yan Shenggong, and played loudly: "Your Majesty, Yan Shenggong is an authentic inheritance of Confucianism and Taoism. Obey it. Therefore, I also agree with what Yan Shenggong said about science and technology!"

It was a bit abrupt for him to stir up like this.When the official of Jinyiwei who was in charge of order saw it, he immediately shouted: "Bold, don't back down!"

Seeing this from the side, Ma Deli couldn't guess what Kong Debin was thinking, and secretly regretted that Kong Debin had taken the lead, so he coughed without hesitation, stepped out of the line, and said something similar.

Not only him, but the other stubborn civil servants who had been prepared also followed suit, and the officials of Jin Yiwei's scolding fell on deaf ears.
