Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 128 Retaliate With His Way

No wonder Zhu Yousong was angry, he just moved his division back to Beijing and was not happy for two days, the Donglin Party came back to make things difficult for him, the dispute between the party, the chaos in Donglin, and the warlords’ disobedience to the court were all chaotic phenomena in the late Ming Dynasty. It is also the root cause of the demise of the Ming Dynasty. Could the well-behaved Chongzhen hang himself?

Now Zhu Yousong has been working hard for more than three months, cleaning the factory guards, driving the imperial conquest, and eradicating a group of chaotic parties. The warlords of the four towns have dealt with two of them. Only the Donglin Party has not had time to deal with them properly.

At the beginning, Zhu Yousong was very angry. He really wanted to use this newspaper turmoil to arrest Qian Qianyi, Donglin Fushe and others who had anything to do with Donglin and punish them.

This is not Zhu Yousong's bragging. Now Zhu Yousong is not what he used to be. He has the strength and confidence. Dongchang and 20 Jinyiwei are all secret agencies directly under him, and there are [-] soldiers Ma Quan is his die-hard fan. It is said that political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. It is no longer a problem for him to deal with several Donglin Party members with a heavy hand.

But Zhu Yousong calmed down and thought about it, because it would become a literary prison. He understands the reason why the people's mouth is better than Fangchuan. He can kill all the Donglin Party in the court, but It was impossible to stop the leisurely mouths of the Jiangnan gentry, but Zhu Yousong soon had a solution, the corner of his mouth curved slightly, and secretly said, since you want to fight with me, then I might as well play with you again!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yousong smiled lightly, pressed the newspaper on the Longshu table, and looked at Gao Hongtu. Gao Hongtu was holding an ivory arc board, bowing his waist and waiting for the emperor's next words. Zhu Yousong said calmly: "Gao Aiqing, this year It's the year of the big exam, but I don't know when to start the exam?"

Gao Hongtu was taken aback, didn't he talk about the newspaper, why did His Majesty suddenly ask about it, and quickly bowed to answer: "Your Majesty Qizuo, it is the first ten days of September, and according to the Ming Dynasty's practice, August and October are the months of scientific research. In the first quarter of the year, but because of the loss of the northern capital of the Ming Dynasty, your Majesty has just ascended to the Great Treasure, and everything is waiting to be done. There are thieves inside the capital, and there are eastern captives and tigers watching the south of the Yangtze River outside. "

"Hmm." Zhu Yousong nodded, "Although my Ming Dynasty is in troubled times, opening a course to obtain scholars is related to the country's grand plan of selecting talents and appointing talents, and we must not neglect it. No matter what the reason is, it is not worth the gain to frustrate the hearts of the world's students. In this way Well, the college examination and the township examination are postponed to late October, and the public examination and palace examination are scheduled to start in mid-to-late November. The propositions of the four examinations this year will all be centered on these two points. Inferior, the second is the national treasury, internal funds and house raids. The four examinations of Yuanxiang Huidian are all prepared by the Hanlin Academy, and the Ministry of Rites is responsible for the examination papers and other matters. In the end, all the examination papers will be read by Longmu Yuyu, and those who favor selfishness will be severely punished. In addition, the martial arts examination will be officially resumed from this year. The general examination and palace examination are also tentatively scheduled to be held in the capital in early and mid-December. Get ready, time is tight."

Gao Hongtu was waiting for Zhu Yousong to talk about the newspaper's rebellion against the emperor. Unexpectedly, Zhu Yousong didn't mention anything about the newspaper. Instead, he talked about scientific research. He thought that the new emperor died and the new emperor ascended the throne. Sure, there are internal and external troubles, this year's scientific examination is probably out of the question, I didn't expect the emperor to order it to go on as usual, and what is different from usual is that the emperor has to read all the candidates' papers for the four exams, is it necessary?There are so many students in Jiangnan, one by one, one by one, His Majesty wants to read it, can you see it?
Want to start martial arts?In the past few years, at most, the civil examinations have been combined with martial arts tests, and they are nothing more than riding horses, drawing bows and archery and so on. They specialize in martial arts examinations to select soldiers. What is the emperor's intention?
But the words of the emperor are the imperial decree, and these are established practices and conventions, and there is no need for court discussion in advance, so they have to follow the decree.

But what about the newspaper?Thinking of the two general directions of the Longyi proposition, with Gao Hongtu's knowledge and thinking, he quickly understood Zhu Yousong's intentions, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, the emperor's intentions are here, who can compare with the emperor's mind?This trick is powerful, the instigators of these newspapers will soon become the target of public criticism!
Gao Hongtu hurriedly agreed: "Your Majesty is so considerate, it is really a blessing for the students in the world, and the old minister will obey the order."

Zhu Yousong glanced at Qian Qianyi out of the corner of his eye, saw that his face was a little out of order, snorted coldly, and then directly announced his retreat.

Qian Qianyi came out of the court hall and sat back in the sedan chair as if he had eaten bitter melon. Of course he knew the real intention of the emperor to do this, that is to let the world judge his newspapers in a scientific way, which has been learned since ancient times. As for You Zeshi, those students who don't want to succeed in their studies, who don't want to be famous, but if they want to do this, they must cater to the taste of the imperial court. I have never heard of a student scolding the emperor for being able to pass the exam and enter the official career. , when the time comes, they will use all their means to criticize the speeches in the newspapers and scold the newspaper editors, which is inevitable.

What made Qian Qianyi even more embarrassing was that at that time, he, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, not only had to invigilate the examination, but also to mark the papers. To put it bluntly, Zhu Yousong made him obliged to listen to the scolding. But definitely worse than that.

Because this is the scolding of the literati all over the world. The swearing by the literati is not because he is stabbed all over his body with a sharp knife and pen. At most, it is the scolding of the elite literati with quality and cultivation. Its broad benefits bring together the trend of novel curses at home and abroad, including the curses of geniuses in the literary world, and the curses of old supervisors who have not been selected for many years.

These are not unfamiliar to him, a great talent and poet in the south of the Yangtze River, and he is also the one who knows the most. The verbal abuse is estimated to make you vomit blood.

However, listening to the scolding is not enough. As the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Qian Qianyi has to be a good referee, so that the students of the world can scold fairly, justly, openly, scold the private tabloids for discussing government affairs, and scold him for running a newspaper behind the scenes. The mastermind is so bold that he dares to attack the emperor. If the scolding is good, the scolding is hearty, and the scolding is of a considerable level, he has to applaud and applaud to separate the top three and the third, and then post these names on the list Come and send it to the officialdom, you can't do favoritism and cheating, the emperor said that you want Lombok Yulan!

This foolish king is so hateful that he has come up with such a trick, which is impossible to guard against, and there is no way to push it. Qian Qianyi thought about it, his head was bigger than the wheel of a cart, and he felt like he was lifting a rock and hitting his own foot.

Back at his mansion, Madam Liu Rushi saw that his expression was not right, so she came over to serve him warmly, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

"Hey, don't mention it..." Back in the inner house, Qian Qianyi told the truth, Liu Rushi sighed, "Master, the master may not like to listen to what the slave family said. At the beginning, the slave family did not agree with the master to do this. In the end How about it, the emperor is the emperor after all, how can the courtiers be able to judge? Hurry up and ask the emperor for sin."

"Hmph, the emperor is arbitrary, he favors the eunuchs, and he has had all kinds of pasts with the late emperor Chongzhen. This old man would rather resign than compromise with him!"

Liu Ruo's eyes lit up, "Please resign. As the saying goes, no official is worthless, master should resign quickly. If you are willing to live in seclusion with the master in the mountains and forests, men and women weaving, and grow old together, why not do it?"

"Let this old man think again... let this old man think again..." Qian Qianyi, who was self-confident but regarded fame as more important than his life, waved his hands and shook his head into the inner room.
