Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 46

Although Xu Guangqi and other officials were relatively open-minded, they did not object to Zhu Youxiao's series of words and actions in the Ministry of Industry, and some even worshiped him.

But in the court, it didn't make the officials understand it.

Zhu Youxiao's behavior in the Ministry of Industry finally let these officials know, and the shock caused was no less than when he dealt with the Donglin Party and Shanxi Merchants.

Among them, the most unacceptable thing among the scholar-bureaucrats is that he so easily conferred the exclusive and noble official position only available to civil servants to craftsmen and a Westerner.

Non-jinshi do not enter the Hanlin, and non-Hanlin do not enter the cabinet. In the eyes of literati, the Hanlin is an extremely noble position.

But Zhu Youxiao awarded Tang Ruowang the inspection of the Imperial Academy, and made several craftsmen who invented the flintlock gun Chengzhilang and Chengwulang dedicated to the Hanlin civil servants.

From the perspective of civil officials, this is undoubtedly trampling on the official position system of civil officials and undermining Confucianism's monopoly on academic authority.

A certain censor even took the lead in launching the impeachment of Xu Guangqi. Naturally, they did not dare to criticize Zhu Youxiao directly, so Xu Guangqi became the scapegoat.

However, Zhu Youxiao didn't care about the impeachment of Xu Guangqi by these censors, and all the notes were still kept.

Fortunately, Zhu Youxiao considered that the traditional landlord and gentry class was too large, and that he was now an enemy of the merchant class, so he could not immediately turn against these landlord and gentry, so he did not dare to overthrow the absolute Confucian system .

Therefore, he did not punish the censor, on the contrary, he promoted him to be the Minister of Taichang Temple.

In addition, due to the case of Donglin, most of the official positions in the court have been vacant, and in order to win over the hearts of scholars, Zhu Youxiao also asked Qian Qianyi, the newly appointed right servant of the Ministry of Rites, to start preparing for the next year's competition , and made it clear to the world that due to many disasters and disasters, people with lofty ideals are urgently needed to serve the country. Therefore, this time the test will be twice as much as in previous years. [-]/[-] of the total household registration.

Zhu Youxiao's move immediately caused an uproar in the scholarly class, especially the middle and lower class scholars who stopped at raising talents were grateful for Zhu Youxiao's move.

Of course, most of these royalists were middle- and lower-class scholars.

In this way, it can be regarded that Zhu Youxiao, the emperor, took care of the scholars who supported him in disguise.

The scholars of the royalist party naturally repayed their kindness, and they kept expressing their respect for Zhu Youxiao in the "Da Ming Daily". Some fanatics even expressed their willingness to cut off their descendants to serve His Majesty in the palace.

Zhu Youxiao naturally rejected this, and wrote a letter in the "Daming Daily", warning many scholars not to think of me, but to have the ambition of the ancestors to hear the chicken dancing, to study hard, and to serve the court in the future.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao expanded the number of places in the imperial examination and required that the number of places in the rural examination should not be lower than one-fifty thousandth of the total number of household registrations.

Because these places are the most densely populated places, Zhu Youxiao's expansion of the quota will undoubtedly give the scholars in this area a greater opportunity to advance.

The imperial examination is a sharp weapon to maintain social stability. With the dream of rising from a poor family who is Tian Shelang in the court and ascends to the Tianzitang in the evening, few people think about embarrassing Zhu Youxiao, let alone rebelling.

When officials representing the interests of the gentry class saw Zhu Youxiao's move, they felt that he did not mean to oppose the entire Confucian scholars, and most of them were relieved. His Majesty Dao may just prefer strange skills and obscenities, not bad. Respect Confucius and Mencius.

In fact, how did they know that Zhu Youxiao was just waiting for the opportunity. As early as a month ago, he had asked Dongchang to install eyeliner in SD Kongfu.

……

As soon as Zhu Youxiao came back from the Ministry of Industry, heavy snow began to fall all over the capital.

Wang Chengen hurriedly opened the big umbrella that had been prepared, put it on Zhu Youxiao's forehead, and ordered the people below to put the cloak on Zhu Youxiao.

"I'll do it myself", Zhu Youxiao took the cloak from Xiao Huangmen and threw it on his shoulders behind him. Liang Fu, the junior supervisor of the internal officer behind him, hurried up to tidy up Zhu Youxiao, but He was glared at by Wang Chengen.

Liang Fu had no choice but to retreat.

Holding the umbrella in one hand, Wang Chengen straightened the cloak behind Zhu Youxiao's back, and said, "Your Majesty, the snow is too heavy today, why don't we go back to the palace first, and we won't go to the Beijing camp, we'll go tomorrow."

"Impossible! I have already decreed to go to Shenshi today, so I can't let the soldiers wait in vain."

When Zhu Youxiao said this, Wang Chengen naturally didn't dare to disobey, and stepped aside after saying "Yes!"

Zhu Youxiao didn't say much, seeing that Liu Rushi's face was flushed red from the cold, but he also regretted that he shouldn't have brought this little girl out this morning, so he raised his cloak to cover Liu Rushi's head: "Come closer to me. "

"Well", Liu Rushi responded and hid obediently in Zhu Youxiao's cloak, and raised her small head and asked Zhu Youxiao, "Your Majesty, are you cold?"

Zhu Youxiao smiled: "I'm not a piece of wood, so it's naturally very cold."

"The servant girl doesn't feel cold. Wearing such thick clothes on her body feels much warmer than when it snowed heavily last year. The maidservant's little friend, Erya, died of cold during the heavy snowfall last year."

Liu Rushi looked very calm when she said this, but she could also see how deeply the heavy snow last year left her.

Zhu Youxiao patted her on the head and said nothing.

On the contrary, Liu Rushi raised his head suddenly again: "Your Majesty, do you have any good friends?"

"I haven't," Zhu Youxiao replied with a smile.

"Why, Your Majesty is surrounded by so many people, don't they all?" Liu Rushi asked in puzzlement with his big eyes blinking.

"They are sometimes my partners and sometimes my enemies. I need them all the time, but I am always on guard against them," Zhu Youxiao said with a sigh: "Since I became the emperor , is doomed to be alone.”

The little Liu Rushi nodded half-understood, thinking that both she and His Majesty are people without friends.

"Xiao Rushi, come in", as soon as Zhu Youxiao entered the dragon carriage, he waved to Liu Rushi. Liu Rushi took Zhu Youxiao's hand and jumped into the dragon carriage, and went to the soft couch next to Zhu Youxiao's dragon carriage. He giggled as soon as he sat down.

"Come closer to the fire and see how your little hands are frozen."

As soon as Zhu Youxiao said that, he pulled Liu Rushi to his side, picked up the charcoal with small iron chopsticks, and suddenly a flame rose up, sparking countless sparks.

"Okay!" Liu Rushi sat down very obediently, smiled at Zhu Youxiao and said, "Your Majesty, let the servant girl accompany you out of the palace in the future. The servant girl likes to listen to your majesty's stories."

"Little girl, don't you know the saying that being with you is like being with a tiger?" Zhu Youxiao scratched Liu Rushi's nose.

Liu Rushi still giggled, and said: "Your Majesty, let me sing you the first lyric, it was taught to me by my father."

"Recite, memorize it, I will reward you", Zhu Youxiao said and half-lyed on the dragon couch, narrowing his eyes.

And Liu Rushi began to sing Li Qingzhao's Bodhisattva Man very seriously: "The sound of returning home breaks the remnants of the clouds, and the snow falls behind the windows and the smoke in the furnace...
