Chapter 514 Intention
Zhang Yi felt more and more that the situation was not right. If it was just the Japanese Guanbai who had a problem, it would be much easier to handle.

The imperial court only needs to issue a decree, and if it is not enough to cut people off, it will send troops to destroy the country of Japan.

However, the people from Donglin Academy suddenly ran over, and the nature of the matter changed.

They didn't even know they were dying!

"Yang Siqing, can you confirm whether it is Guan Bai Yiliang of the Wa Kingdom who speaks ill of the emperor, or the gang from Donglin Academy?"

Yang Shan thought for a long time, and then said: "What Zhang Butang said, seems to be those people from Donglin College..."

"Can you be sure?"

"It's like this. When Yiyi Jianliang and the people from Donglin Academy are together, they often make some bad remarks. Other times...it seems that there is no such thing. Therefore, the old man thinks that these remarks may come from Donglin Academy."

Zhang Yi said with a tense face, "What nonsense, these people have read books to understand things. How can he talk about my Ming Dynasty's national policy?"

Yang Shan said: "Scholars talk about government affairs, this... is understandable..."

"Yang Siqing's words are wrong!"

Zhang Yi waved his hands again and again, and said: "Since it is a national policy, it should be designated by the central government of the imperial court. Donglin Academy is just a school. These people should study hard, obtain fame, and serve the imperial court, but now they openly boycott the imperial examination and talk nonsense. , Talking about government affairs indiscriminately, it is time to rectify it!"

Seeing Zhang Yi being so excited, Yang Shan felt a little puzzled.

This person is a Jinshi in the first year of Yongle, and is now 72 years old. Although he is full of new things, he really doesn't have the energy to learn new theoretical knowledge.

Relatively speaking, he is still good at traditional Confucianism.

Therefore, it is more of an understanding of what Donglin Academy has done.

There is even some resistance to the emperor's Sanyang conspiracy and the drastic reforms.

Now seeing that Zhang Yi has already worn the same trousers with the emperor inside and outside the words, he is even more displeased.

"Scholars like to talk freely, so there's no need to be too tight, right?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yi didn't answer directly, but asked, "What's the meaning behind Jianliang's friendship with scholars?"

"If you mean it..."

Yang Shan pondered for a moment, and said: "From this person's words, we can see that he yearns for the Ming Dynasty, and believes that the wealth and people of the Ming Dynasty must be related to Fengshui, so he communicated with literati and refined scholars, and even discussed with monks and Taoists. I heard that some Confucian scholars once said that they would like to follow this person to Japan."

Zhang Yi looked horrified, and said, "This man is ambitious, don't underestimate him!"

Yang Shan said: "Since it is Guanbai of the Wa Kingdom, it is common sense to be more concerned about these things."

Zhang Yi didn't think so, but said: "This matter is more troublesome, Yang Siqing might as well go with me to discuss with Mr. Cao."

Although the cabinet has been abolished, Zhang Yi is still used to going to Cao Nai for any matters. After all, it is safer to discuss with someone.

Moreover, Donglin Academy not only involves the Ministry of Rites, the forces behind these people are intricate, and many noble families have their children as officials in the court, so the Ministry of Officials should be involved.

Yang Shan showed a look of embarrassment, and said: "It's okay, it's the old man's legs..."

Zhang Yi realized that it was really shameful for an old man in his 70s to follow him around.

"Yang Siqing wait a moment, I will find someone to invite Mr. Cao over."

The Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites were not far apart, and Cao Nai arrived in a hurry after a while.

"What's the matter, so... Yang Siqing, are you here?"

As soon as Cao Nai looked up, he saw Yang Shan and hurriedly clasped his fists in salute.

Yang Shan got up to return the salute, and Zhang Yi gave a general account of the conversation between the two just now.

After Cao Nai listened carefully, he didn't speak, but his face was cloudy and uncertain.

Of course he knew about Jianliang's entry to the capital, and it was widely spread outside. Moreover, Donglin Academy came to the capital in groups, causing a great commotion.

Zhang Yi asked, "I don't know what Mr. Cao thinks?"

Cao Nai then said: "Yiyi Jianliang is not a simple person, and he must not be taken lightly. He frequently contacted the students of Donglin Academy in Daming, and also visited all kinds of high-ranking hermits. He has dabbled in all monks, Taoists and Confucians. I think he is satisfied. We are looking for ways to make the country rich and the army strong!"

Yang Shan still said the same sentence just now: "This person is Guan Bai of the Wa Kingdom, and it is reasonable to explore the way to enrich the country and strengthen the army."

Cao Nai said bluntly: "It is impossible for the emperor to just sit and watch the Wa kingdom grow stronger, he is seeking his own death!"

Yang Shan was a little unsure, and asked, "Is it so serious?"

"Of course there are!"

Zhang Yi took over the conversation and said, "Let's not talk about him now, Donglin Academy has bigger problems now, we need to make preparations as soon as possible!"

Cao Nai asked: "You said that Donglin Academy's problems are even bigger, did you hear some rumors?"

Zhang Yi shook his head, and said: "Nowadays, the emperor will not let the wind out in advance when he is doing things."

"These people have been making noise for more than a day or two, and the emperor has not taken any action."

"The emperor just doesn't have time to deal with them. If they dare to do something out of the ordinary, I'm sure these people will disappear overnight!"

Zhang Yi's words were very firm, without any doubt in his tone.

Yang Shan looked at the two of them and asked, "Even if there is a problem with Donglin Academy, the law does not blame the public. Could it be that the emperor will kill them all?"

Zhang Yi said indifferently: "In the case of rebellion some time ago, more than [-] people were implicated. In front of the emperor, there is no such thing as the law not to blame everyone!"

"Master Zhang, the memorial!"

A clerk was standing at the door holding the memorabilia. Seeing Cao Nai and Yang Shan inside, he wondered whether he should enter or not.

Zhang Yi said, "Let's put it aside for now!"

"My lord, this memorial is urgent."

"What is so urgent?"

"It's about the etiquette of the dynasty."

Zhang Yi asked again: "Who will perform?"

"Sun Changhai, Yuanwai Lang."

Yang Shan suddenly asked: "What is the relationship between this person and Sun Changhe?"

The official replied: "Brothers of the same clan."

Yang Shan asked again: "Zhang Butang, Sun Changhe was mentioned just now, why didn't you mention it?"

Zhang Yi was a little embarrassed, and said, "I just came to the Ministry of Rites not long ago, and no one remembers everything."

While speaking, he took the memorial, opened it and glanced at it, feeling displeased immediately.

This Sun Changhai really didn't know how to live and die, and he actually criticized the New Deal in a large number in the memorial.

After Zhang Yi finished reading, he passed it to Cao Nai, who in turn passed it to Yang Shan.

All three of them saw the contents of the memorial, two words, nonsense!

Since the start of the New Deal, the achievements are obvious to all. This is a real contribution, and it is impossible to obliterate these achievements just by the mouths of those scholars.
