Duke Yan Sheng was the first to kneel and lick.
This was something that none of the courtiers had thought of.
But it just happened in such a grand manner, and it was still kneeling and licking to the extreme.
All the ministers could not help but feel sick and nauseated after reading such disgusting articles.
When they thought about who wrote this article, they felt even more disgusted.
I have to admit that Emperor Wude's actions really disgusted them all.
If it were an ordinary official, the officials would still understand.
But that is Duke Yan, the descendant of the most holy master!
The symbolic significance of his family is so great that all dynasties will give them preferential treatment, even the Mongolian barbarians are no exception.
After all, he is a descendant of the most holy teacher, and he is born with the supreme sanctity, which is no less impressive than those nobles in the sky.
But what this family did makes all the scholars in the world feel sick!
"How about it?"
"Have you all seen the true colors of these gentry?"
Zhu Gaoxu said with a strange smile, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
This impromptu court meeting was originally his intention.
The reason why Confucianism and the Jin gentry have a sacred nature is that it was deliberately created by the officials and the Jin gentry to cooperate with the emperors of all dynasties to stabilize their rule.
Because Confucianism is sacred and respected as the study of saints, scholars and officials who study Confucianism are superior to others. Coupled with the preferential treatment given to them by the court, their tails are raised to the sky.
The lofty teachings of the saints are worthy of respect from all the people in the world. Those scholars and officials even interpreted every word of the saints' words, eager to come up with new tricks.
The two have already formed a subtle relationship that complements each other!
As long as Confucianism remains the official philosophy recognized by the court, the gentry and gentry will benefit from it and always receive preferential treatment from the court!
What Zhu Gaoxu has to do now is to let these court officials see the true face of the gentry and Jin gentry and the true face of Confucianism.
Only by removing the sanctity of Confucianism can the Jin gentry be completely wiped out and transformed into common people!
"In the final analysis, Confucianism is just a science."
"Just because Confucianism is helpful for the court to rule the people, it becomes a sacred science. Is this reasonable?"
Zhu Gaoxu's voice clearly fell into the ears of the officials.
But they didn't dare to speak, let alone say anything.
“The person who has inherited this sage’s teachings the most and has the most thorough understanding is none other than the descendants of the most sage and sage, Duke Yan!”
"But you have more or less an idea of the character of Duke Yan Sheng, or the character of the Kong family, right?"
"Even they are like this. One can imagine how hateful the gentry and gentry in this world will be."
"I still say what I said, once people get used to being parasites, they will feel that they deserve these preferential treatments. They never think about working hard, let alone why they get these preferential treatments!"
"So, if the Ming Dynasty wants to truly bring peace to the world, it must get rid of all the Jin gentry clans, make them civilians, and not give them any preferential treatment!"
After hearing this, some people couldn't sit still.
Jian Yi took a deep breath and spoke bravely.
"Your Majesty, no matter what the Kong family has done, they are all descendants of the most holy teacher after all. The symbolic significance is too great."
"The imperial court should still give him certain preferential treatment, otherwise the world's scholars will be chilled by this, unless the emperor does not want to use Confucianism to govern the world!"
"Haha." Zhu Gaoxu sneered, "You are afraid of the cold hearts of the world's scholars, why are you not afraid of the cold hearts of the common people?"
"Haven't you, Jian Yi, heard about what the Kong family did in Qufu, Shandong? Do you want me to ask Gu Zuonian to tell you about it?"
As soon as these words came out, Jian Yi's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly stood up and knelt on the ground.
He was just considering the national affairs and had no intention of excusing the Kong family.
The bad things that the Kong family did in Qufu, Shandong Province have already been spread all over the world. There is no need for Gu Zuo, a person who has experienced it personally, to repeat it.
"Jian Yi, let me ask you again, what is more important, the common people or the gentry?"
Zhu Gaoxu's expression was very serious and his tone was even colder.
It's not just once or twice that he endured this injustice.
Since the imperial court implemented the New Deal, Jian Yi has been suspected of being a vegetarian.
He allowed his officials to gather together and cry bitterly in the palace, and allowed his officials to conspire to resist, but he, the Minister of Personnel, did nothing!
There is no doubt that his buttocks are still crooked, still facing the gentry and gentry side.
If Zhu Gaoxu hadn't been grateful for Jian Yi's contribution to the Ming Dynasty, he would have dismissed him from office and expelled him from the court!
Therefore, the question raised by Zhu Gaoxu was actually forcing Jian Yi to express his position.
If you can't figure out the situation clearly, then don't blame me for being ruthless.
After all, Jian Yi was a veteran official who had been an official for many years. How could he not hear the hidden meaning of Emperor Wude's words?
After a brief hesitation, Jian Yi sighed and said with a bitter smile: "Your Majesty's words are serious, of course the people are important!"
"Isn't that okay?"
"Since the people are important, then I let the gentry all become common people. Is there anything wrong with that?"
"Why can these gentry be superior to others? Just because they have read the books of sages and learned their words?"
"What kind of truth is this? This has been true in all dynasties. Is this right?"
Faced with His Majesty the Emperor's constant accusations, Jian Yi was speechless and chose to remain silent.
"No matter whether they are gentry or nobles, they are all ministers of the imperial court and citizens of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Always asking for things constantly, relying on power to gain benefits from the people, but not assuming any obligations. If this continues, the Ming Dynasty will collapse sooner or later!"
"Your Majesty, be careful what you say!"
All the big guys were stunned and hurriedly stood up and knelt on the ground.
How dare you say that!
Dare to say anything rebellious!
Brother, you are the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, can't you think about your identity?
"The beauty of a gentleman will be killed in five lifetimes!"
"This is also the words of a Confucian sage, right?"
"You guys just like to package the remarks that are good for you into the words of a saint, and just ignore the remarks that are bad for you. Is this what a gentleman does?"
"I still say the same thing. Whether it is the Kong family, the best gentry in the world, or the gentry in various state capitals, they have enjoyed the preferential treatment for too long, and it is time to cancel it!"
"Confucianism is just a science, and it is not a sacred science. Jin gentry cannot rely on this Confucianism to continue to be superior to others, dictate and oppress the people!"
"Lying on the merits of your ancestors, having lived and died in a dream for so many years, it's time for you to wake up!"
After cursing in one breath, Zhu Gaoxu felt comfortable all over his body.
He looked at General Secretary Lumu and gave the order directly.
"Lu Mu, print the complete copy of this beautiful article and distribute it to all prefectures and counties!"
"In addition, mobilize the power of all the general administration departments to carefully explain the content of the new policy to the common people. Even if it is chewed up and fed to them, they must understand it!"
"I will be patrolling the south soon. I hope you won't disappoint me!"
