Chapter 27

Mao Wenlong, this guy is a headache!

Yang Reform muttered to himself, how should Mao Wenlong solve this problem?

Yang Reform asked: "Didn't you pay 200 million taels of silver to replace the military salary last time? Why didn't you pay him?" Yang Reform was surprised.Isn't Mao Wenlong an official of my Ming Dynasty?Didn't he get paid last time?Otherwise, why come to ask for money again?How many days has it been?

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it was Mr. Mao who heard that the emperor had reissued the military salary of 200 million taels of silver, so he came to ask for the salary."

"Why? Didn't you count Mao Wenlong's army in my Ming Dynasty?" Yang Reform was on fire.Anyway, Mao Wenlong is still an official of the Ming Dynasty.You don't want to see him, and you don't need to dig a hole for him to "frame" him like this.

"Your Majesty, if it's not the ministers who don't count Lord Mao in our Ming Dynasty, it is Lord Mao who is in control of the party. The military and horse money and food are not reviewed. How can the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household allocate money and food for him? Too much, Your Majesty If it is less, Lord Mao is not happy, which is really embarrassing for the humble minister, so there is no transfer of money and food for Lord Mao." The official's speech is very standard, on the one hand he is afraid of the emperor, on the other hand he is afraid of the emperor. Mao Wenlong, this is a living "praise and murder", hiding murderous intentions.It seems that in the eyes of these ministers, Mao Wenlong is already a thorn in the side, a thorn in the flesh, the kind who will be killed anytime and anywhere.

"I remember that Mao Wenlong's number of troops was approved before? How much?"

"His Majesty, there are 8000 people, but Mr. Mao does not accept the inspection and supervision of the imperial court. Therefore, Mr. Mao will not be repaid this time. How to proceed, please show the emperor."

This is a bad thing. It is also a normal requirement for the civil servants in the court to supervise Mao Wenlong's money, food and soldiers.Of course, there is an additional "drift".Mao Wenlong didn't want to be supervised by civil servants, and he didn't want to be "drifted away". The reason was far-fetched, and they ended up arguing together.The result of the wrangling was that Mao Wenlong gradually broke away from the control of the Ming Dynasty. The ministers in the court regarded Mao Wenlong as an ambitious wolf and a rebellious existence.In the end, Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong.Only the wild boar skin laughed out loud.Don't be afraid of opponents who are like gods, but teammates who are like pigs. This sentence is not wrong.

Yang Reform has a headache, such a basket of bad things, the core is only two words, greed, Yang Reform does not have the mind to deal with this thing.After thinking for a while, he said: "Since that's the case, let's let it go and not mention it for now, I have my own measure."

The matter of Mao Wenlong's request for payment is considered to be taken over by the emperor. The Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War will no longer take care of this matter. This matter is obviously a matter of silver. It's just a subsidy for Mao Wenlong.I'm afraid it has little to do with the court.

……

The second thing is nothing special, the local disaster, ask for tax relief, ask for support.Well, then give the money.

……

Here comes the third thing.

"Your Majesty, please come to the Royal Sutra Banquet." An old minister came out and played.

"Jingyan?" It was the first time Yang Reform heard of this thing, and he thought to himself what kind of thing it is!
"Here, what is Jingyan?" Yang Reform carried forward the good tradition of not being ashamed to ask.

"Return to Your Majesty, this scripture banquet is specially for His Majesty to lecture on the scriptures and history."

"Is there anything important about this? Talking about scriptures and history?" Yang Reform didn't know anything about it.However, the atmosphere of conspiracy is rolling in.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are three lectures per month, once every ten days. This is a big lecture. Your Majesty and all the ministers will participate. There are also small lectures. There are not many rules..."

……

"What is the content of the talk? History?" Yang Reform was very depressed. History still needs you to tell me that I graduated from nine-year compulsory education, and my historical achievements are outstanding.I have even learned the history of hundreds of years later.You still tell me history?
"Returning to Your Majesty, the feast of the scriptures is one of 'studying the scriptures with taste', exploring the subtle words and great meanings in the scriptures; the other is 'using the past to prove the present', that is, taking history as a mirror, and the third is resting and cultivating one's character and cultivating virtue."

"Is this... useful?" Yang Reform asked weakly, really weakly.Yang Reform has already come to his senses, it is obvious that these Ming Dynasty scholar-bureaucrats want to "brainwash" themselves!Every day, let Yang Reform learn from the sage's "small words and great righteousness", learn "rectify the present with the past", and cultivate Yang Reform's "virtue".

Yang Reform shouted wildly in his heart: Damn, retribution is coming.I dreamed of "brainwashing" these Ming Dynasty literati, but I didn't expect that the retribution would come so soon. The Ming Dynasty literati were going to "anti-brainwash" themselves.

"Here, can we not go!" Yang Reform had a bitter face, not wanting to be "brainwashed".

"His Majesty, this is a rule. The rules passed down by the ancestors all have rules. It is not a random idea of ​​the ministers..."

The rules passed down by the ancestors?Could it be said that all Confucian dynasties have to "brainwash" the emperor?Yang Reform suddenly felt terrible, afraid that he would become a pure "Ming Dynasty person" from a modern person.Then he would be "brain dead".

This is definitely retaliation. I had a dispute with the ministers the day before yesterday and wrote a "letter" to Wei Zhongxian at night.Let yourself be "brainwashed" this morning.This group of ministers definitely did this on purpose.Yang Reform thought maliciously.

……

"Your Majesty, please come to the Imperial Sutra Banquet." The ministers on the ground all knelt down on the ground, their voices were loud and orderly.Qiqi asked Yang Reform to attend a political class.

Yang Reform still wanted to have a headache, stomachache and other escape methods. Seeing the ministers kneeling on the ground below, he knew in his heart that he would not be able to escape today.So, reluctantly said: "Then go to the 'Jing Yan'."

"Your Majesty is holy." A kind of flattery that the ministers yelled together was extremely loud, but it was a pity that Yang Reform hated him to death.

A group of ministers followed from afar and went to Wenhua Hall.

Speaking of this sutra banquet, there are really many rules.There are those who are responsible for flipping books, those who are responsible for taking books, those who are responsible for explaining, and those who are reciting aloud. The ministers of civil and military affairs stand on both sides according to shifts, just like the court.Only then did Yang Reform understand that it seemed that not only the emperor himself, but also important ministers needed to receive political and ideological education. Of course, the emperor was the protagonist, and other people seemed to come to monitor the emperor's political lessons.

After standing and sitting down, the Jingyan finally began.

A person who looked like an official came out and played: "I want to tell you, Your Majesty, is your Majesty lecturing on scriptures or history?"

Four Books and Five Classics?history?Yang Reform felt that he didn't need any of them.It is said in the Four Books and Five Classics that it is a stepping stone to the imperial examination, and he is the emperor, so why should he be the number one scholar in the exam?Do you still need to read the Four Books and Five Classics?
Taizu Zhu Baba said that without the Four Books and Five Classics, he could still be an emperor.

history?I am a person in the 21st century, not only familiar with the history before the Ming Dynasty, but also familiar with the history after the Ming Dynasty?Is it your turn to tell me about history?

Yang Reform was quite angry.It's a pity that I can't speak.You can't raise your voice and call me a person from the 21st century. I know the history after the Ming Dynasty. I don't need you to teach me. If this is the case, there will be another lunatic emperor in the Ming Dynasty.Be the laughing stock of people.

"Why, do you still need to talk about the classics and history? I am the emperor, and the Four Books and Five Classics are just the stepping stones of the imperial examination. Could it be that I will go to the top of the exam after I have studied it?" In fact, there are more vicious words that Yang Reform did not say.The imperial examination was nothing more than a cage for the emperor to win over the world's elite. Didn't Li Shimin say: "All the heroes of the world are in my trap?"It's not that the heads of the ministers were caught by the door, it was the (Confucian) ministers who used the door to clamp the emperor's head.

"The minister is terrified..." The lecturer who asked Yang Reform to listen to scriptures or discuss history was terrified.The other ministers didn't say a word, pretending they didn't see it.

Yang Reform was sullen, knowing in his heart that if he didn't finish the scriptures today, he might not be able to escape.Judging by the appearance of these ministers, it seems that they are going to die to the end.

"Let's tell a piece of history." Yang Reform compromised.

"Which passage does Your Majesty want to hear?" The lecturer was caught between the emperor and the ministers, and neither side liked it.I'm afraid that the emperor will be unhappy, and he will be unlucky.

"I have talked about the deeds of Yue Pengju in the Southern Song Dynasty with all the loves today, so let's talk about him." Yang Reform just "casually" selected a piece of history.

Yang Reform really wants to scold people, he is the emperor, he doesn't need to learn "the words of the sages" to gain fame, but also learn to be a bird.When it comes to history, my history grades in middle school are not very good, but as an otaku who reads starting point time travel novels all the year round, at least he knows the history of the next few hundred years. Awesome, still need you bunch of sour scholars to teach yourself history lessons?
As for saying that "the words of the sages" contain the principles of learning to be a human being and can improve moral cultivation, this is pure nonsense.Kong Laoer is just one of the hundreds of families in the Spring and Autumn Period. When other families were in the Spring and Autumn Period, he was still "lobbiing" everywhere to find a small official. Could it be that only he has the "reason" to improve moral cultivation.The others are donkey dung?Did Confucius have no "reason" before?Confucius is born with "truth"?Without Confucius, can one not improve one's moral character?Do you really want to eat this hairy meat without Butcher Zhang?
Yang Reform was extremely depressed.Very annoyed.This is really hunting geese for many years, and being pecked by geese today.I single-mindedly "brainwashed" the bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty, trying to change the "brain structure" of the group of corrupt scholars.I didn't expect to come to myself like this today.

When I was in the early court, I still felt that they had a conspiracy, but now it seems that there is indeed a conspiracy.In the eyes of the officials, I am too "elegant", and I need to use the "sage's words" to teach me more.To become a talent.

Yang Reform was extremely depressed, and he didn't think of any good solution.I don't want to "fight" with these bureaucrats, but these bureaucrats always make trouble with me.
