At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 511 The Great Confucian
In March of the 20th year of Zhengtong, the new imperial examination was officially implemented.

Although the voice of opposition is still very loud, there are not a few supporters.

Everyone is not stupid, the opportunity to stand up has come, how can we not seize it?

After nearly a hundred years of development, the gentry class has long solidified. Although the emperor has been working hard to increase the school attendance rate of the common people, it is difficult for ordinary people to stand out even if they have studied.

The reason is that the original gentry class controls most of the wealth in the world, and if one more person comes in, he will get a piece of the pie. These people will go all out to eliminate dissidents in order to protect their own interests.

It's all right now, the old ones don't go, and the new ones don't come.

Students from all over the world set off from all over the world and rushed to the capital.

These people are the fresh blood that Daming needs most, and they are the future of Daming.

The traditional gentry were hit too hard, and almost all the remaining forces were concentrated in Donglin Academy, as if this place had become the last piece of pure land in the world.

Headed by the great Confucianist Sun Changhe, these people continue to study the Four Books and Five Classics every day. In their spare time, they never forget to criticize the current situation, point out the country and the country, and imagine that one day they can make a comeback.

However, hope is getting slimmer.

Zhu Qizhen is very relieved, I, Daming, have never been short of people, if you don't come, then there will be no more chances.

When new powers rise, people like Donglin Academy, together with their Confucian thoughts on governing the world, will be completely submerged in the torrent of history.

The great man once said that power grows out of the barrel of a gun. How wise is this sentence!

Looking back on the past, I was still too conservative, and I often took into account the feelings of others. Every compromise represented the stagnation of the wheel of history. Now I look back and find that it is not that difficult to kill everything that can be killed.

For the sake of sacrifice and ambition, dare to call the sun and the moon a new day!
If I choose to compromise again, I am really sorry for the soldiers who followed me and died in the counter-insurgency!

In short, whoever dares to stroke the tiger's beard should be killed!
"Your Majesty, General Shi's memorial has arrived."

Huai En came in a hurry with a memorial, because the emperor specially ordered that the memorial from Wa Island must be submitted to the imperial court as soon as possible.

After Zhu Qizhen opened it and read it again, the stone in his heart fell to the ground.

Tuotuobuhua didn't lie, those Japanese who took refuge in him were indeed just some famous names who had been defeated in the war, and they couldn't get along on the island, that's all.

However, Shi Heng also mentioned a person in the letter, Ichijo Kaneyoshi.

This person is Guan Bai of the Wa Kingdom. This official position is roughly equivalent to the prime minister of the Central Plains, holding important power.

According to Shi Heng's description, Yiyi Jianliang yearned for the culture of the Central Plains since he was a child. When he was growing up, he traveled to China and visited famous teachers. He was very familiar with Confucian classics.

At the end of the memorial, there is also a letter written by Kaneyoshi.

Zhu Qizhen unfolded the letter paper, and what caught his eyes was his vigorous calligraphy.

As expected of someone who has learned the culture of the Central Plains, the handwriting is beautiful, the words are also very particular, and there is a common problem with Confucianism, which is long-winded!

Apart from a bunch of nonsense at the beginning, the content of the letter is actually very simple. Ichijo Kaneyoshi, as a Japanese official, is going to bring his wife Aoi...

Zhu Qizhen was shocked, and carefully read it three times. This lady's real surname is Aoi, and her name is Aoi Xinyi.

Yiyi Jianliang is going to visit Beijing with his wife Aoi Xinyi, and claims that he has collected many Tang and Song books and plans to dedicate them to Daming. At the same time, he hopes that Daming can send students from the Academy of Sciences to Japan for exchange and study.

"I knew that Baga had no good intentions!"

Zhu Qizhen smiled lightly, and put down the letter and memorial.

Wynn asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, what is Ba... Baga?"

"You do not understand!"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hands and said, "The next edict will allow one Jianliang to have an audience."

"Yes, slaves will prepare now."

Wynn is still wondering, what does Baga mean?

Why are the words from the emperor's mouth... so profound?

However, Zhu Qizhen was still pondering, what does this Aoi Xinyi look like?
The imperial edict was issued, and the news spread quickly.

Among the scholars, Ichito Kaneliang is quite recognized. He studied in the Jiangnan area when he was a child and made friends with many gentry. Even though Wa is in a high position now, he still walks among the gentry in Jiangnan as a Confucian student.

When the news reached Donglin Academy, Sun Changhe seemed to see hope.

"Everyone, luck, luck!"

Xia Shaopeng, Cen Guangyao and others hurriedly asked, "What did you say, sir?"

Sun Changhe twitched his long beard lightly, and said, "An old friend from the Japanese country, Jianliang, is coming!"

Among the students, some of them didn't know Yiyi Jianliang, and they looked a little puzzled.

Xia Shaopeng was older, so he explained: "Although Yiyi Jianliang is a Japanese, he has been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child, and he is known as a great Confucian among scholars."

It was the first time Cen Guangyao heard about it, so he asked, "This person is so famous, how does he compare to Mr. Sun?"

"Hey!"

Sun Changhe waved his hands, and said: "There is a priority in learning the Tao, and there is a specialization in art. We are all disciples of the sages. We read the books of sages and sages, and rule the world, no matter which one is higher or lower."

Cen Guangyao clasped his fists and saluted: "Mr. Dayi, the students have been taught!"

Sun Changhe continued: "Speaking of which, Brother Jianliang and I haven't seen each other for many years. This time, Brother Jianliang is coming to Beijing to meet, and he will definitely pass through this place, and he is about to ask for advice."

Some people with quick brains have already smelled the meaning behind these words.

The current emperor is obviously supporting the Academy of Sciences and suppressing the Imperial Academy, which means he is suppressing Confucianism. To put it harshly, the emperor is departing from the way of a saint!
Looking at the Japanese country, an uncivilized island country, people all respect Confucianism so much, isn't it obvious?
If you, Zhu Qizhen, continue to do this, the things left by the ancestors will be inherited by outsiders.

The good things in your own home are discarded, but they are regarded as treasures by outsiders. If this kind of news spreads, you, the emperor, would you be ashamed of yourself?

Sun Changhe closed his eyes slightly, as if he saw hope.

Making good use of Yiyi Jianliang's entry into Beijing can create momentum and save face for Confucianism.

"Spread the news and say that Donglin Academy is waiting for the great Confucian of the Japanese country to exchange lectures."

More people began to react, and when they returned, they used their connections to create momentum.

Soon, scholars all over the country knew that Yiyi Jianliang was coming, and he was going to Donglin Academy.

More people flocked here, Jin Yiwei was so busy that he sent the secret music one by one to the capital.

After Yuan Bin saw it, he didn't dare to neglect, and immediately sent it to the palace.

After Zhu Qizhen saw it, his reaction was very calm, as if he didn't take it to heart.

"Your Majesty, I feel that the momentum is not very good. Will you come forward to control it?"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand: "No need, let them go!"
