Daming heir

Chapter 224
The determination of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism is an important theory that gives a clear definition and authoritative explanation to all the thoughts of the pre-Qin sages.

In the past, the gang of Song Dynasty civil servants in Zhu Yunxi's eyes were rotten civil servants, a group of idiots who indulged in useless small talk all day long.

They not only restricted the possibility of the former Song Dynasty to conquer the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, but also imprisoned the overall development of the Central Plains society.

Those civil servants who seem to be famous for their talents in later generations are just the compliments of the younger generations who are also literati in the next few hundred years.

Ouyang Xiu, who compiled Tang history and made Tang history with strong subjective thinking and full of modesty, was such a person.

Propagating dogma and etiquette, making Qinhui Erzong and other civil servants who have lost the face of the Han family in the Central Plains and only cared about their personal reputation.

For the so-called biography of the book, the most advanced technical records in the Central Plains at that time could be published, but in the end they felt that this still could not express their noble thoughts, and sent these books to the bad guys of the empire.

They regard their personal reputation as more important than the dignity of the country.On this basis, they will always start from the reputation of their political opponents.

Now, some people in the Ming Dynasty have also learned the advanced methods of their predecessors, and began to use those dirty methods in the Ming Dynasty.

This is the fundamental reason why Zhu Yunxi hated that era from the bottom of his heart.

With a gloomy face, he looked at Xie Jin who was very familiar with gossip and gossip because he was in the Imperial College all day now: "When did it get out?"

Xie Jin invited Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gaochi to enter under the pergola next to the bookstore's construction site.

Seeing the two small officials sent by the Ministry of Industry to monitor the progress were still drinking herbal tea under the arbor, they had no eyesight.Xie Jin immediately raised his foot and kicked the nearest person.

"Let me keep an eye on the progress."

The two little officials didn't dare to provoke the dignified Wenhua Palace Walker and Hanlin Bachelor, and rushed into the construction site beside them in a hurry.

Zhu Yunxi glanced indifferently, Xie Jin, who changed his style today and got angry with those petty officials.

Now Zhu Gaochi no longer feels any resistance or uneasiness about skipping classes. He can't remember how many classes he skipped with Brother Xing in this short month.

Seeing that Brother Xun was going to talk to the Bachelor Xie, he went to the tea table first, put aside the bowls used by the servants, and took three clean bowls, but he still felt that they were not very clean. He took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the inside and outside of the three bowls several times before getting a cup of tea for the three of them.

Xie Jin's face was gloomy and ugly. After sitting down, he bowed his hands to Zhu Gaochi, thanked him, and drank a bowl of tea in one gulp.

Zhu Gaochi, who was about to say that he was anxious to drink tea slowly, saw Jin and said, "Pour another bowl when you are tired."

Zhu Gaochi let out a hey, and didn't think that as the son of King Yan, he should pour tea for Xie Jin.

At this moment, Xie Jin wiped his mouth and looked at Zhu Yunxi: "Those eggless people are really nothing!"

Zhu Yunxi snorted: "So, the rumor is more serious than what you said?"

Xie Jin was still full of anger: "That group of things couldn't compete with Ren Hengtai in the court, and they didn't get it down with Ren Shilang, but turned around and started doing these dirty tricks, pouring dirty water on Ren Shilang, it's really wrong What a gentleman did! Now that Ren Shilang has closed his door, his servants will be scolded by the people in the city when they go out on the street."

Zhu Gaochi, who was sitting next to him, could not help but whisper: "Has the matter reached this level?"

Xie Jin glanced at Zhu Gaochi, the son of King Yan, and said angrily: "Nowadays, it is rumored outside that Ren Shilang has made his niece and daughter-in-law's belly bigger. When he is at home, he only needs his niece to serve him in daily life and food."

"It's so insidious..." Zhu Gaochi muttered, and silently knocked on Zhu Yunxi who was beside him, and said in a low voice: "When I was in Beiping, I often heard about Ren Shilang's diligence and talent. It's over, and there will be one less virtuous and loyal minister in the court."

Zhu Yunxie also had a gloomy expression. He had thought of those people's cruel means, but he had never thought that those people would be so bottomless.

It is often said that a gentleman promises a thousand gold, and what he values ​​is his reputation.

Whether it is walking the rivers and lakes, or joining the court.

Fame is the most fundamental way for a person to survive.

Once the reputation is ruined, the current pure public opinion will forcefully crush a person to death.

Zhu Yunxi asked: "What is the truth of the matter? This matter cannot be groundless, there must be a reason, so that those people can seize the loopholes and fabricate the facts."

Just like the rumored Ren Hengtai's niece and niece, these two people must exist.

Xie Jin sighed, his face full of helplessness.

"If I hadn't studied carefully these few days, I really wouldn't have known that Ren Shilang is my righteous gentleman of Ming Dynasty!"

After giving Ren Hengtai, who is now splashed with dirty water, a full compliment.

Xie Jin sighed and said, "First of all, it's the nephew of Ren Shilang's family, so it's no wonder that she married someone who was not a good man. Ren Shilang's nephew is just a lazy person. Li's eyes are red."

"The whole family was ruined like this. The nephew didn't like everything when he got home, and beat and kicked his daughter-in-law many times."

"Ren Shilang can't see it. His nephew lost his father in the early years and left an old mother, so he can't be disciplined. Ren Shilang came to the door. His niece and daughter-in-law were being beaten by men, so the nephew had to grab Ren Shilang and hide behind him."

"Obviously it was such a matter of disciplining the children in the family, and it was rumored that Ren Shilang had an affair with his nephew and daughter-in-law. It just so happened that at that time, no one knew that his niece and daughter-in-law were pregnant. This matter is not considered to be made up gone."

Zhu Yunxi frowned when he heard that, he could already imagine that when Ren Shilang heard about his nephew's asshole, he came to him and wanted to discipline him, and then he saw his nephew beating his niece and daughter-in-law again.Seeing the elder coming, the poor woman instinctively wanted to hide behind the elder.

Most likely it was a good person who saw this matter, and then was taken advantage of by those people.

His face became more and more gloomy: "What about the niece in the back house who looks like the servant?"

When Xie Jin heard this, he slapped the table violently, and Zhu Gaochi, who was shaking his head when he heard Ren Hengtai being choreographed, trembled all over.

Xie Jin said coldly: "This is even more nonsense. The family of Ren Shilang's niece suffered a disaster in the early years and all died, and the people in the clan are a bunch of bastards who don't care about a little girl." Yes, Ren Shilang also showed great kindness, so he took him home and handed it over to his wife to take care of him."

"On weekdays, Ren Shilang treats her as his own daughter. Last year, he began to think about marriage for his niece. Such a kind family, who treats his nephew leniently, how could he be ruined by those eggless things? It looks like this!"

Zhu Gaochi, who wanted to be peaceful and stable, also showed anger at this moment: "It's abominable! It's not like a gentleman!"

Zhu Yunxi was also furious in his heart, he was indeed condoning those people's presumptuousness on purpose, and this was also to let them relax their vigilance and be completely exposed.

But such things that touch the bottom line, but he will never allow it.

But at this moment, suppressing the anger in his heart, he turned his head to look at Zhu Gaochi: "Brother Chi thinks, how should we deal with this matter?"

Zhu Gaochi, who was called by name, froze for a moment, never thinking that he needed to answer this question.

He looked at Zhu Yunxi blankly, hesitating in his heart, how should he answer.

Zhu Yunxi smiled silently: "Brother Chi, it's okay to say, we are all our own people here."

I got Zhu Yunxi's reassurance.

Zhu Gaochi nodded and said: "The reputation of a good family like Ren Shilang must not be damaged. The court should clearly explain this matter, make Ren Shilang's good deeds public, and reward them. It is even more necessary to reprimand those who spread rumors and order Make up your mind and never tarnish people's reputation for nothing. If you commit the crime again, you should be ordered to apprehend and punish."

After finishing what was in his mind, Zhu Gaochi raised his head cautiously to look at Zhu Yunxi.

Zhu Yunxi shook his head slowly.

Under the watchful eyes of Xie Jin and Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Yunxi said gloomyly: "Not enough! It's just not enough!"

"Not enough?" Zhu Gaochi felt a little troubled, and felt that restoring Ren Hengtai's reputation is the most important thing now.

Zhu Yunxi smiled and looked at the two, then waved to Sun Cheng who was standing outside the arbor, and coughed lightly.

Sun Cheng, who was wearing the uniform of Qianhu Flying Fish, deputy of Jinyiwei, immediately turned around and entered the arbor.

Not long after, a man dressed in black and black came in from a place that no one noticed.It was Tian Mai, the dark guard who led the troops to Pujiang County in the wind and snow in Zhejiang Road back then.

Sun Cheng and Tian Mai bowed and stood under the arbor.

"What orders does the grandson have?"

Under the curious gazes of Zhu Gaochi and Xie Jin, Zhu Yunxue snorted coldly and turned the white jade wrench in his hand.

"Go, find out who is spreading rumors among the people and slandering Ren Hengtai, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites."

Sun Cheng responded immediately.

Tian Mai, who was born as a secret guard, said in a low voice: "Grandson, what should I do with these people after I find them?"

Zhu Yunxi did not hesitate: "Where did you find it, then drag it to the street corner, and slap your tongue in public!"

Before Tian Mai and Sun Cheng spoke.

Zhu Yunxi said in a gloomy way: "If someone from the government or the court comes forward to question you, tell them, it is a metaphor for the Gu Ming Dynasty to supervise the country!"

"Here!"

Sun Cheng and Tian Mai agreed at the same time.

Immediately, the two of them came out of the arbor, and a team of brocade guards were immediately sent outside to follow Sun Cheng to the downtown area of ​​the city.

And in the darkness, there were also countless footsteps from the hidden guards.

Seeing Zhu Yunxi's metaphor, Xie Jin frowned and didn't say a word.

Zhu Gaochi also frowned, and couldn't bear to whisper: "Are you sure you want to do this?"

Zhu Yunxi snorted coldly, then looked at Zhu Gaochi with a smile: "Brother Chi, such and such is not enough."

Zhu Gaochi looked puzzled: "Not enough?"
