Chapter 1212 Seeing the Court Rod Again
Seeing this situation, Xu Guangqi became a little anxious.It is very rare for Yan Shenggong to take the lead and so many officials to support him.What if the emperor can't bear the pressure?Is it possible that the scientific and technological knowledge that has just been promoted will be refrigerated again?

For Xu Guangqi, he is already old.At this time, his wish is to promote these scientific and technological knowledge and benefit Daming.In the past, in order to learn these scientific and technological knowledge, he even did not hesitate to change his belief to believe in the religion of Xiyi. This shows that he attaches great importance to these scientific and technological knowledge.Therefore, he is unwilling to see the possibility of retrogression in the promotion of scientific and technological knowledge.

Thinking of this, he also wanted to stand up to oppose.

However, at this moment, Emperor Chongzhen frowned, slapped the armrest of the dragon chair and stood up, shouting sharply: "Enough!"

The emperor was angry, and the court meeting suddenly fell silent.They can ignore the officials of Jinyiwei, but they can't ignore the emperor.

"You all jumped out self-righteously and interrupted Yan Shenggong's performance." Emperor Chongzhen glanced at the courtiers who stood up, and shouted angrily, "Do you respect Yan Shenggong? Do you respect the etiquette of the court? Is there any of you here? All of you are so bold and reckless, because you think that if you have a lot of people and power, I can't cure you?"

There are at least 190, nearly 200 officials who have already stood up.Standing in the middle of the queue, it can be regarded as a dark place!To some extent, it is indeed overwhelming.

In fact, they can't be blamed for this, because most of the officials who stand up are of lower positions, and they are already the highest from the fourth rank.No matter how high the officials are, those who resist scientific and technological knowledge have actually been replaced by Emperor Chongzhen.It's just that there are too many low-level officials at the bottom, and he can't worry about it very carefully, so it's impossible to change people for this matter.

Originally, these low-level officials did not dare to stand up and resist. They could only watch helplessly as the imperial court promoted scientific and technological knowledge step by step.However, now Yan Shenggong is here, and Yan Shenggong is standing in front of him.If people like them don't take advantage of this opportunity to stand up, if Yan Shenggong is alone and refuses to convince the emperor, it will basically be difficult to suppress the promotion of scientific and technological knowledge in the future.

Therefore, under the leadership of Kong Debin and others, in line with the idea that the law does not blame the public, they all stood up, even the officials of the Jinyiwei Hall, and even the Yushi who was in charge of the etiquette before the emperor followed suit, but it was useless.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was angry, so Yan Shenggong naturally shut up first. He stood there quietly, neither looked up at Emperor Chongzhen, nor turned his head to look at the supporters behind him, but just lowered his head.

Emperor Chongzhen glanced at him, then continued to look at the large group of people, and shouted angrily: "It seems that I am too kind to you at ordinary times, but the court is so rude. I am rude to Yan Shenggong, and I am so rude to you. Rude, hehe, this time, I want you to have a long memory and remember the rules in the court! Each person will be rewarded with ten court sticks, okay?"

There are nearly two hundred courtiers, and everyone has to bear the court rod, which is a big deal!Ordinary emperors really dare not fight like this!Even for Emperor Jiajing, the great etiquette dispute back then only spanked the buttocks of the courtiers who were in their early [-]s.

For the words of Emperor Chongzhen, everyone was stunned for a moment.More than two hundred courtiers lined up outside the Meridian Gate to fight the court staff. This scale is the largest in the founding of the country!

There was no sound below, and the spring breeze was chilling, causing everyone's necks to shrink.

Emperor Chongzhen saw that there was no one answering, and immediately sneered again: "Why, just now you have the guts to interrupt Yan Shenggong rudely regardless of court etiquette, Jin Yiwei hall officials, and supervisory censors." You are right, you despise Yan Shenggong and me, but no one speaks at this meeting? Do you think the lessons I have given you are too light, and you don’t have a long memory? In this case, each person will reward twenty imperial sticks. it is good?"

The so-called thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king.If the emperor wanted to spank them, according to the teachings of the sages, he had to give thanks.These people just stared blankly for a while, and Emperor Chongzhen doubled the imperial staff, which immediately frightened many people.

Seeing Emperor Chongzhen like this, the thing that the law does not blame the public, I am afraid it does not exist.If we wait any longer, what if the imperial staff doubles again?More importantly, the emperor also took his hat off. The court staff was not struck for the sake of Confucianism or Taoism, but because it interrupted Yan Shenggong's performance, disregarded court etiquette, and was caused by impoliteness in front of the imperial court.

Thinking of this, the courtiers who came out suddenly felt aggrieved, and at the same time scolded Kong Debin and Ma Deli who rushed out: "What are you robbing? Can't we talk about it after Yan Shenggong's performance?"Well now, disrespect to Duke Yan Sheng, is this what a scholar should do?This has spread, what do other scholars think?The most important thing is that he still has to suffer from the court rod for no reason!It's a shame to hit this court stick!

A few cleverly saw that Emperor Chongzhen seemed to want to talk again with his angry expression, but they didn't care about it at this time, and hurriedly played: "The minister leads the decree to thank you!"

If Emperor Chongzhen doubled the imperial staff again, it would be fatal!It's not worth it to be beaten to death unjustly like this!

Don't think that the emperor is afraid, you must know that the emperor is the one who personally conquered and wiped out the murderous Jian captives.In those days when the siege of the captives was built, it was said that all the upper walls were on the upper walls.Look again, among those cabinet ministers and seven ministers, who came out to intercede?

Thinking in this way, more and more people scolded Kong Debin, Ma Deli and others in their hearts, and had to follow along: "The minister leads the decree to thank you!"

Emperor Chongzhen was not polite to them, he would let them go when he saw them plead guilty.Soon, Jin Yiwei of the brigade stepped forward and escorted the group of officials out of the Meridian Gate.

On the side of the Meridian Gate, many scholars, craftsmen, etc. had gathered before, and they were arguing with each other while waiting for the result of the court meeting.Of course, you can't get into a fight, as both sides are mostly educated, so they have to show face.The most important thing is that with the captain of Jinyiwei watching not far away, if you dare to fight at the root of the imperial city, believe it or not, it is not worth it to go to the prison.

At this moment, I suddenly saw many people coming out of the Forbidden City.Looking closely, it was a group of Jin Yiwei who came out pressing a group of officials.The number of people far exceeded the imagination of these scholars at the Meridian Gate.So, all the people here fell silent and looked over there curiously, wondering what was going on?
I saw those officials lined up, about four full rows, taking off their pants, revealing their white buttocks.As soon as the order was given, the sound of "cracking" suddenly rang out one after another.Until this time, those scholars who were paying attention to this side came back to their senses, and they were all shocked.

"Ting Zhang, this is hitting the court staff!"

"In the Chongzhen Dynasty, the imperial staff had never been hit a few times. I didn't expect to see it this time!"

"Not only did I see it, but so many officials beat the court stick together, what's the matter?"

"..."

Some people immediately worried about the morning court in the Forbidden City, so they asked loudly, wanting to know the situation.

Jin Yiwei had obviously been ordered, and did not ignore them, and immediately told these people that these officials who received the imperial scepter were all punished for being rude to Yan Shenggong and disregarding court etiquette.

As soon as they heard this, those sour scholars became angry immediately, and dared to be rude to Yan Shenggong!These people immediately cursed loudly.

"It's a pity that you are also from the books of sages, and you don't even care about the court etiquette. You played well!"

"Yes, Yan Shenggong is a role model in the hearts of scholars like us, and it is too late to respect him, so he dared to be rude and beat him to death!"

"..."

These sour Confucianists who are here are originally extreme people, and when they scolded smoothly, they began to humiliate them.

"It's so rare to see so many white butts, they're even whiter than the little lady's!"

"The old man will paint, such a grand occasion, you must go back and draw it!"

"..."

While those officials were being beaten, they felt even more wronged. We are allies, okay? You scolded the wrong person!When they heard the harsh words of those sour scholars, they all blushed and hated these sour scholars.

We worked hard in the front, and because of this, we accidentally got the court rod. You guys are fine, you don’t encourage it, but you still make sarcastic remarks, humiliate, and draw pictures, pigs!
The court sticks of the Ming Dynasty wanted to beat people to death, but it didn't matter how many sticks they had.Fortunately, this time, Emperor Chongzhen didn't think about beating them to death for this matter. Therefore, they beat each of them to death, but no one was killed, but suffering is certain.

After hitting the court staff a few times, some officials couldn't help but shouted.After the ten chapters, most of the officials who were used to pampering couldn't help shouting.There is no other reason, so many people are shouting, so it is not ashamed to shout, and no one should say anything.Shout out, at least feel that the pain from the buttocks can be relieved a little.

After the court sticks at the Meridian Gate were beaten, there was no delay. After a little tidying up, the two hundred or so officials were carried back to attend the court meeting again.

The early court is still very quiet, and all the courtiers are waiting there quietly.Emperor Chongzhen sat there drinking tea, and also rewarded Yan Shenggong with a cup of imperial hot tea to show his kindness to Yan Shenggong.

Logically speaking, this is still a bit cold weather. It should be a pleasant thing to drink a cup of hot tea to moisturize your throat and drive away the cold.Moreover, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are only owned by Yan Shenggong, which is even more glorious.

However, Yan Shenggong's expression was a bit strange. Hearing the wails coming from the Meridian Gate, Yan Shenggong's cup of tea was not finished until the officials who were under the court rod were brought back.

However, more than two hundred officials were taken back, which was a bit loud, and finally Yan Shenggong couldn't help taking a look.When he saw these officials who had been brought back, although they had already cleaned up, but their buttocks were spanked, the misery could not be concealed.Many people couldn't even stand up anymore, so they had to lie there and go to court, which was a spectacle.The large number of people is even more generous.

Yan Shenggong didn't dare to look too much, so he quickly withdrew his eyes and only focused on drinking tea.This time, he drank the tea in a few sips.

When all the officials were seated again and the court was quiet again, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said to Yan Shenggong: "These people are rude to Yan Shenggong. I have taught them a lesson, and I believe they have a long memory. Yan Sheng You can play it again, but I really want to know what Yan Shenggong thinks of the science and technology knowledge I compiled? Yan Shenggong, don’t worry, no one will bother you this time!"

I don't know why, but Yan Shenggong listened, and felt that Emperor Chongzhen had something to say.In just a few short words, the emperor said it several times to Yan Sheng Gong Yan Sheng Gong, it should not be, is there any hint?

The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was possible.He thought of the majesty of the emperor just now.The wrath of the emperor, not to mention the millions of dead bodies bleeding for thousands of miles, but just now two hundred or so officials were beaten with the court stick, which is powerful enough!But above the court, none of the princes objected.It can be seen that the prestige of the current emperor is already very high!

Yan Shenggong was thinking, and Xu Guangqi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was also thinking about things in his heart.He was a little unsure, if he had made the right move just now, would he have accompanied the two hundred or so officials to bear the imperial scepter?He looked at Emperor Chongzhen who was smiling and talking to Yan Shenggong, and finally he didn't think about it, yes or no, the two are between five and five!
After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, all the officials at the court meeting, including those big Han generals, all focused on Yan Shenggong, eager to hear his next performance.

Yan Shenggong seems to have forgotten what he said before. He seemed to think for a while before he bowed and played loudly: "The knowledge of science and technology is really a famous work passed down through the ages! I think that if your majesty's science and technology Knowledge, if it appeared in the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it would be able to keep pace with Confucianism and Taoism, or even surpass it. Therefore, I think that this science and technology knowledge should be vigorously promoted in Ming Dynasty. I think that the most urgent task now is to Innovating the imperial examinations, incorporating scientific and technological knowledge, and paying equal attention to the Four Books and Five Classics are the blessings of the scholars of the Ming Dynasty! From now on, my Ming Dynasty will have scientific and technological knowledge and Confucianism and Taoism complement each other.

Speaking of this, he bowed deeply, and his voice raised a bit, and said: "This is what I said from the bottom of my heart. I can't say it quickly, and it is also the purpose of my visit to Beijing this time. Reforming the imperial examination is imminent. For the sake of the scholars of the Ming Dynasty, and for the sake of the country of the Ming Dynasty, if your Majesty does not accept the advice of the minister, the minister will not be able to kneel down!"

After finishing speaking, Yan Shenggong actually knelt down.However, he straightened his upper body and looked straight at Emperor Chongzhen with a determined look on his face.

His words and his actions were almost completely beyond the expectations of everyone in the early court.After he finished speaking and knelt down, although there were so many people in the morning court this time, they were very quiet, so quiet that only the wind was heard.
