"What?"
"No!"
"As masters, we are in charge of education, and our duty is to cultivate and manage Daqian and inherit the culture of Daqian. How can we do those rough things?"
"Prince Yan, I am very old. I really can't do those things."
"That's right, Prince Yan. Your Majesty asked me to wait until the Imperial Academy to teach and educate people, but he didn't ask me to do those vulgar things. Aren't you forcing things on others?"
…
As Zhao Ding's words fell.
Many Imperial Confucian scholars present jumped up immediately.
Especially those scholars who stood in Zhou Xing's faction were even more anxious and glaring.
Zhao Ding pretended to be puzzled and looked at these great scholars. He raised his ears and looked at the few great scholars who were jumping around just now and asked: "What did the masters just say? I didn't understand. Can you say it again?"
As Zhao Ding's words fell.
All the great scholars present immediately closed their mouths in embarrassment.
Zhou Xing raised his head and looked at Zhao Ding with an embarrassed expression: "Prince Yan, you are trying to force someone to do something difficult for you.
If you let the scholars of our Imperial College participate in the work, they will also work. But we are great Confucian scholars, with the mission of educating and inheriting the cultural heritage of Daqian, how can we do such superficial things? "
"Then Master's words, can this king understand that Master looks down on my great ancestor?"
Zhao Ding asked with a deliberate frown.
"I..."
Zhou Xing was speechless for a moment.
"Prince Yan, why do you have to use me, Taizu of Daqian, to suppress us? This is the fact. Our Imperial College is a place to educate people and inherit the cultural heritage of Daqian. If Prince Yan wants to set up an agricultural academy alone, We can open another hospital outside Yingtian City, so why bother us scholars."
Zhou Xing bowed his hand, feeling a little unhappy after all.
Snap!
Zhao Ding suddenly slapped his hand on the table, and he suddenly sat up from his position.
And looking at this scene.
Many of the great scholars present were suddenly startled, especially those following Zhou Xing, who subconsciously took a few steps back.
"What do you want to do?"
Watching Zhao Ding suddenly slap the table and stand up.
Zhou Xing was also a little frightened by the scene in front of him, but he still stood in front of Zhao Ding, looked at Zhao Ding and said: "Prince Yan, what do you want to do? My great ancestor Taizu once said that punishment cannot be used to punish scholar-officials, Yan My lord, are you planning to use force against an old man like me here?"
Zhao Ding looked at Zhou Xing with a smile: "I dare to ask Master Zhou, what does it mean to punish a scholar-official who cannot be punished?"
Zhou Xing subconsciously said: "That naturally means that we have committed a crime. Ordinary people have no right to judge. We must petition His Majesty for a ruling. His Majesty will reduce the penalty based on our identity and specific circumstances. After conviction, the criminal law of mutilation will not be used. The first thing is to choose or persuade them to commit suicide in order to strengthen their integrity; secondly, to kill the nobles at court. If the nobles with the same surname are guilty, they will be executed by the Dianshi and secretly assassinated in the countryside. In this way, they become the top officials of the Ministry of Punishment!"
Zhou Xing said word for word.
Then he added: "It doesn't seem like it's a crime if we don't participate in the labor."
"Master, have you ever heard that the emperor breaks the law and the common people are equally guilty?"
"Who said that?"
"I said!"
Zhao Ding's eyes turned cold, and then he slapped Zhou Xing directly.
Snap!
Caught off guard.
Zhou Xing was directly slapped by Zhao Ding and fell back.
"Prince Yan, you...you...how dare you?"
Seeing this scene, Zhou Xing was stunned and stood there in shock with his face covered.
"Why don't I dare? I want to respect your age and don't want to argue with you, but you don't know what is good and what is good. You really think that you are superior to others because you have some ink in your belly?
I founded the country with force and governed it with culture, but the foundation of this dynasty is farming and mulberry. If the whole dynasty is filled with rotten Confucianists like you who think they are superior to others, how could I have established the country to this day?
Moreover, since ancient times, food has been the most important thing for the people. If the people are safe, the country will be safe, and if the people are rich, the country will be rich. But there has never been a gift that if people are safe, the country will be strong, and if people are rich, the country will be rich!
You are eating the people's offerings, but you have no thought of repaying your kindness to the people. You are trying to suppress others with your scholars, but you don't know where your so-called scholars come from.
Without the work of the people, what would you eat? What to drink? Do we just rely on those so-called books of sages that you talk about? "
Snap!
Zhao Ding slapped him again.
"Today, the king of Japan wants to see what you can do to me. Didn't you say that as a scholar, you should be a herdsman of the emperor, with the ability to control the life and death of the people?
Then, as a king, can I also control your life and death? "
Snap!
Zhao Ding said as he slapped him again.
After three slaps in succession.
Zhou Xing was completely confused.
He stood there blankly, the Confucian crown on his head had been knocked off long ago, and he stood there with disheveled hair. When he looked at Zhao Dingzhi, he had an unprecedented look of fear, a hint of fear, and that Deeply suppressed anger.
He was promoted to a noble clan and a member of the Zhou family.
Who dares to do this to him?
Even His Majesty, the Zhou family, treated him with great courtesy.
Why is it like Zhao Ding?
"Zhao Ding, you are going against me, the literati of the Great Qian Manchu Dynasty. You will be criticized by our literati in the future. After today, I will also give you a book in front of your majesty, so that your majesty can treat you well." sin!"
Zhou Xing was furious.
However, before he finished speaking, Zhang Shiwei stroked his long beard and said leisurely: "Master Zhou, have you said this? I am not dead yet, is it your turn to represent the literati of the Manchu Dynasty? All you can represent is you." It’s just a lineage of the Zhou family, but it cannot represent the many Confucian scholars in our country’s prisons.
And if you dare to write a letter today, I will also write a letter to truthfully clarify today's matter to Your Majesty.
I would like to see how you will explain to Your Majesty if His Majesty asks you more questions.
It is your crime today to despise me, Taizu Daqian. "
"When did I despise my great ancestor?"
Upon hearing Zhang Shiwei's words, Zhou Xing jumped in anger.
To despise Taizu is a serious crime among the five surrounding countries, let alone Daqian.
"You haven't yet?"
Zhao Ding laughed loudly, then looked at Zhou Xing and said: "I, Emperor Taizu, was born as a cowherd boy. In essence, he is a farmer. However, you keep saying that you should not be engaged in farming. So, in fact, you are a farmer." It's a vulgar thing that you and other scholars shouldn't do and you don't bother to do it, but my great ancestor did it, but you don't bother to do it.
Doesn't this show contempt for my great ancestor? "
Speaking of which.
Zhao Ding touched his chin, covered his mouth and said, "In that case, I should play a good book."
After speaking, he looked at all the Imperial Confucian scholars present, especially those following Zhou Xin.
Zhao Ding asked with a smile: "Is that right, fellow scholars?"
