my days with tyrants

Chapter 319
In the restaurant on Sanshan Street, Xie Jin looked at the passers-by...

Of course, this is a gift from Juren.

Because these [-] graduates of the new school are all students of the late emperor to be precise. Juren.

It can be regarded as a consolation to the late emperor.

When this big banner was pulled out, of course no one objected.

Of course, the main reason is that the time is too short, and the Ministry of Rites has been deliberately procrastinating, so they simply bypassed the Ministry of Rites and gave Juren directly.

"Mathematics is to the Ministry of Households, Engineering is to the Ministry of Industry, Military is to the Ministry of War, and Agriculture is to what?"

Counselor Zheng Cirao, the former Beiping chief envoy, said with interest.

He was a Jinshi in Hongwu for 18 years.

However, he was exiled for crimes a few years ago, and because the empress ascended the throne for amnesty, he returned home from exile and passed through the capital.

These grantees outside, at least in the eyes of outsiders like him, are very different. None of them wear the green robes of Juren, and they all wear short brown trousers similar to civilians, and all of them wear sabers. Wearing boots.Wearing a felt sun hat on his head, he doesn't look like a Juren, but a peddler on foot. More importantly, there are women around him, young and beautiful women, and there are even obvious women from the Western Regions.

Very beautiful.

"Nong Ke is a local official."

Qian Yi, who was sitting there drinking by himself, said.

He and Zheng Ci are in the same subject.

He and Xie Jin are both in the cabinet now, but the cabinet at this time is a secretariat. After all, the real decision-making is made by Yang Feng, the little princess, and the witch who only has a voice.

Zhang Xianzong, the head of the cabinet, is qualified to participate in the discussion, but it is limited to participation in the discussion, that is, the result of the discussion of the other three people. When there is a serious conflict with the actual situation of the court, he can argue with reason, but he has no decision-making power.

As for the rest, the main work at present is to compile the records for Emperor Taizu Gao.

Well done!

That's what it's for.

In fact, although it was said that the capital officials had fled, only a quarter of them actually resigned. After all, for the vast majority of officials, it was a pity to lose a half-official position with great difficulty.Even if the court is chaotic, it is nothing more than patience. When Emperor Taizu Gao, he endured it for decades, why can't he continue to bear it now?

In the final analysis, it was nothing more than the fact that the first emperor relaxed all of a sudden during the few months when he succeeded to the throne, and felt that he could breathe freely, and then suddenly replaced Yang Feng.

Can't breathe again.

This is a feeling that I can't bear.

But in fact……

Not intolerable.

As long as you can be an official, why can't you bear it.

The main reason is that the old ministers such as the six ministers have left, so it seems that the court is empty, but in fact most of the middle and lower officials are there, which is especially ridiculous. Most of the remaining ones are from the imperial examinations, and most of them are Hongwu18 The officials recruited before the re-opening of the imperial examination.

Therefore, the Confucian scholars were heartbroken, and it was still difficult for them to discard the officials they had already acquired.

"In this way, the three subjects of official etiquette and punishment have been left for us Confucian scholars?"

Zheng Ci said.

"It seems so, but in fact there is not a single subject left for our Confucian scholars, because the liberal arts no longer use Confucian classics, but the law of division, that is, the law of the court. It is tested whether the candidates are familiar with the law and given a case. What law to apply, how to punish, and even write a defense as a prisoner, which is something to justify yourself. Improvement. Three rituals, these are the changes of the Ming Dynasty, the gains and losses of the past dynasties, how to educate the barbarians in the future, and the changing customs among the people. Therefore, all overseas geographical customs and national conditions must be known.

Before that, Zhang Mingyuan had drawn up a copy in the cabinet and asked me to answer it. As a result, none of the cabinet bachelors and the editors of the Imperial Academy were qualified.

There are even laughers.

Zhang Mingyuan was also helpless, and he clearly stated that Yang Feng's actions were conspiracy.

When I enter with knowledge, he will be difficult with knowledge.

In this way, if the younger generations want to enter the body, they can only learn these new learnings, the way of sages and sages, the four books and five classics are discarded like scumbags, and after decades, no one will learn them, and they will naturally be buried in the dust.

How poisonous your heart is! "

Xie Jin sighed.

They really have no way to change this situation now, they can only watch Yang Feng complete the layout little by little, and use newcomers to squeeze Confucian scholars out of the court.

They are conspiracy, obviously doing it.

Revolt?

Resist what?
"So, Guangzhou is the last pure land?"

Zheng Ci sighed.

"Young talents in the city, such as Hu Guangda, Wang Jingzhi, etc. have all gone south, Yingjian Wenenke, but Guangzhou is just a little bit safe, Yang Feng has not tidied up the capital yet, so he has no time to take care of it, wait for him to tidy up here Now, with the soldiers and horses in Guangzhou, I'm afraid they can't stop his army. Wang Bi is just an old man, and all his troops are trying to make money, and most of his family members are in the north.
After all, it was Shenzhou Luchen again, and all horses were silent. "

Xie Jin said.

He was talking about Hu Guang and Wang Gen, both of whom were Jinshi in the second year of Jianwen, of course they disdain to come to the capital now, after all, it is not far from Ji'an to Guangdong.

However, the Jianwen court can indeed be said to be full of talents according to Confucian standards.

Great Confucian scholars from all over the world disdain those who eat Zhou millet, and they have already gone south. The main reason is that Yang Feng has made it clear that he wants to abandon Confucian scholars.They are all great Confucianists and celebrities, so why should they squeeze in among a group of children and learn astronomy and geography from scratch?

They would rather die than learn.

The cabinet was wiped out in front of Zhang Xianzong's test questions because it was too backbone.

Zhang Xianzong asked them to express their views on the relationship with the Delhi Sultanate. All kinds of knowledge about India are now popular among booksellers, including the geography, religion, country, and culture of the South Asian subcontinent.Part of it was written by Yang Feng, part of it was the records of the envoys, and even some sailors were specially found, and the latter dictated their knowledge, which can be called systematic knowledge.As long as the academics and scholars read a few more books, the whole army will not be wiped out. Moreover, these folk books are available in the palace, and they are even the first editions. Many of them are actually sent to the palace first before being published.

But few of the academicians guarding these, the Hanlins, took a serious look at them.

It's not that they don't know these things are useful.

It is because the new learning is advocated by Yang Feng.

In order to show their pride, they bother to read it.

Even though they know it's all worth it.

but……

I won't watch it!

Seeing that I am not pure anymore!

Even these people are like this, not to mention those outside. Until now, there are still Confucian scholars who insist that the dung pill is Yang Feng's demon method. If they eat the food that this monster produces, they will be controlled by him.

It is quite a bit like my Qing Dynasty Confucianism.

In this case, of course, only the Jianwen Dynasty can bring them some comfort. After all, they were still respected Wenqu stars in the Jianwen Dynasty, not the old disgusting people who hated dogs in the Puppet Dynasty.However, Xie Jin is still very clear about the comparison of the strengths of the two sides. Besides, they are already officials at any rate. These Confucian scholars who fled to the south are the people.

Catch a dead end.

"Then what if Yang Feng can't tidy up all the time?"

Zheng Ci said.

"what for?"

Qian Yi said.

"Yang Feng is only one person after all. If he wants to control the localities, he needs officials who obey orders after all, that is, these are the ones who give the judges, but the local gentry have the final say in the localities. These young people can control local power with a single report. ?
If the gentry all over the world rebel, can he still let everyone who goes to the post bring thousands of soldiers and horses?

He will never be able to fight against the world alone. "

Zheng Ci said.

"But how many gentry resisted? Hasn't Suzhou surrendered yet?"

Xie Jin said sadly.

They are actually very clear that Yang Feng's reform only touches the interests of Confucian scholars. It is true that most Confucian scholars are gentry, but the problem is that not all gentry are Confucian scholars, and even if they are Confucian scholars, they are not all defenders of Taoism. Defenders may not dare to take action.

After all, how many Fang Xiaoru can there be?

The vast majority of them are the kind of people who run around like dogs and dogs, and the grass on the wall falls with the wind.

Revolt?

Resistance will kill you?

It’s not that the imperial examination does not take Confucianism, and everyone hastened to embrace the new learning.

Isn't it just a question of kneeling!
You have knelt down before a Jurchen, a Mongol, a tyrant, and a monster, so what's the problem?It's just a routine operation, and Xie Jin and others are so pessimistic about the future because they know the virtues of the gentry.

"Then stir up the resistance of the gentry, so that the gentry have no way out."

Zheng Ci said with a smile.

Both Xie Jin and Qian Yi looked at him suspiciously.

"But we need someone who will be scolded by the gentry all over the world, and who may even dedicate his life to it."

Zheng Ci said.

"A Fang Xiaoru?"

Xie Jin said.

"Yes, one Fang Xiaoru, one who can sacrifice his life for the loyalty of the world, and one who can die for defending the Tao."

Zheng Ci said.

"There is one person available, Shandong Chief Envoy and Counselor Tie Xuan."

Qian Yi said.

"Yes, in terms of strength, no one can surpass it."

Xie Jin said immediately.

Of course, as long as the person is not himself.

"Then find a way to get him to submit a letter to the imperial court, asking the imperial court to reintroduce the public land law, which is what Yang Feng did in Shanxi, in the name of the public land law, to divide the land of the gentry in the world, so that there will be no more landlords everywhere. This has been planned for a long time, you two, don't forget that he has already done a good job in Shanxi, and the late emperor mentioned this matter long ago. It's just that they are afraid that the gentry will not be able to bear it, so they have been making arrangements. In the new party, none of this generation was born as a landlord, and they are all children of ordinary military households. They even deliberately did not want the children of military officers when they were selected. It can be said that these people will not have any resistance. As long as Yang Feng gives an order, they will divide them in various places Tian, ​​if a local high-ranking official came up to play now and openly asked for the public land law, he would definitely vote in Yang Feng's favor.

Then get it reused.

And what I need to do is to convince the gentry all over the world that Yang Feng will implement the public land law after replacing the new man. This is what he has planned for a long time, but no one will do it for him for the time being.

This is his real intention to replace the old man with the new man.

In this way, the gentry all over the world will inevitably rise up to resist.

But this generation is enough to hold back Yang Feng, while the Guangzhou court took the opportunity to reorganize the army, recruit loyalty, and take advantage of the chaos to go north to clear away the demon atmosphere. "

Zheng Ci said.

Xie Jin and Qian Yi looked at each other.

"You two, whether you can turn the tide and make the country quiet and bright again, that's all in one fell swoop."

Zheng Ci said.

"I'm going to Jinan."

Qian Yi said with a trace of determination.

Like a hero who is about to turn the tide.

"Daming Sheji, Confucianism orthodoxy, it depends on the appropriateness of this trip."

Zheng Ci said.

Then he held up the wine glass solemnly, Qianyi quickly took it up, and together with Xie Jin, the three of them drank it all in one gulp, as if they had made a blood alliance, and then they left together.Zheng Ci, who sent them out, returned to the private room, drank wine by himself with a deep smile, and soon pushed open the door alone, looking at him with questioning eyes.

"Report to the princess and say that Zheng has lived up to his trust."

Zheng Ci said with a smile.

Mount Wutai.

"I thought they were so smart, they got hooked on such a small plot?"

Yang Feng said with some contempt.

Well, Zheng Ci is the inner ghost released by him, and he can't be regarded as an inner ghost. After all, this plan is really going to succeed, so Zheng Ci is still a hero and a defender of Confucianism.If he failed, then as the princess' confidant, he would have successfully completed the mission and would still be rewarded heavily, so apart from feeling a little uneasy about his conscience, he was actually invincible.

Yang Feng just wanted to clean up.

But the problem is that the gentry are weak-kneed.

They will not give him an excuse to clean up, so they must be forced, and the public land law is the best choice.

What's more, he has already done it. Shanxi is the public land law. There are no landlords there, and the land is not allowed to be traded. This kind of thing can be done in Shanxi province.

After all, those troublemakers have already done their work, and Yang Feng also contracted the tax.

But not expandable.

Even he couldn't suppress the consequences of expansion.

But because Zhu Yunxi was young, he did mention this matter many times.

So the gentry have this doubt.

If at this time there are treacherous ministers who are following the power to flatter Yang Feng and make a special performance to ask for the public land law, it will undoubtedly ignite the anger of the gentry, and those Confucian scholars will continue to spread the news of the public land law among the people, which will completely detonate the anger of the gentry.When necessary, he can also stimulate, such as promoting Tie Xuan, such as ordering to mention it in an ambiguous way, and affirming Jia Sidao when necessary...

Jia Sidao is indeed a scumbag.

Ding Jiazhou's crime of running away is not clear, but his public land law is really right!
Hype!
Besides, it's not hype, he really wants to implement the public land law in at least some parts of Daming.

In short, it stimulated the gentry to resist.

Then he took the opportunity to clean it.

"But they did pick the best victim."

Yang Feng said.

"Was this Tie Hyun famous in history?"

said the little princess.

"After capturing your fourth brother angrily, he will be treated like Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng and others."

Yang Feng said.
