"Wen, I think you are trying to please the emperor and enter the political hall, so you deliberately say that you want to rule the country by law! You are driven by greed and have no shame!"
"Wen, I think you want to disrupt the law with justice, and then seek power with justice, but you are selfish! You are extremely hypocritical!"
"I will fuck your ancestor!"
"Your ancestors must also admit that respecting the law is right. Then you have to look at the Ming Law and the Regulations on Punishment to see if there is any content in them that stipulates that you can rape your ancestors!"
"Go to hell!"
"You die too!"
…
Wen Tiren and Wen Zhenmeng were arguing and started swearing regardless of their image. They completely forgot that they were respectable people and they didn't know when they actually started to take action.
When Zhu Youxiao, Bi Ziyan and others rushed to the cabinet, they saw that the entire imperial office was covered with telegram translations, memorials and inscriptions, and Wen Tiren and Wen Zhenmeng also had their heads hung. color.
"It seems that quarreling and fighting in the court is really an old tradition of my ministers in the Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Youxiao said something about this at this time and ordered: "Tell the historians of the Hanlin Academy to write down the affairs of these two people in the cabinet without any taboos!"
The two of them calmed down after hearing what Zhu Youxiao said.
"Your Majesty, please punish Wen Tiren!"
Wen Zhenmeng did not care about the injury on his head, nor did he care about how the emperor would punish him. He only bowed to Zhu Youxiao and asked for the order to kill Wen Tiren again, as if Wen Tiren had a blood feud with him.
"Your Majesty, please punish Wen Zhenmeng!"
The same goes for Wen Tiren. Almost at the same time that Wen Zhenmeng requested an order to kill Wen Tiren, he also requested an order to kill Wen Zhenmeng.
"What punishment!"
Zhu Youxiao replied angrily, and immediately ordered: "Let the national doctor come and take a look at them, and don't die in the cabinet because of a fight. Then it will be counted as death in the line of duty. Should we give more rewards?" Pension silver!”
Therefore, Wang Chengen hurriedly sent his eunuchs to pass on the Chinese medicine.
Then, Zhu Youxiao continued to ask Wen Zhenmeng and Wen Tiren: "Tell me, why did I decide the case for you personally?"
Wen Zhenmeng then started talking: "Because Yuan Shu, the youngest prince of Xingguo Gong, went to the imperial court to impeach his father Xingguo Gong, he did not complain about Xinbin Wang, and said that his clan expelled Xinbin Wang from the family tree without authorization. Although it was based on Clan rights, but the clan rights have not been recognized by the imperial regulations and national laws. This act of the clan is an act of rebellion. It is said that relatives hide each other, in the opinion of the ministers. Yuan Shu's act violates the etiquette of filial piety and should be severely punished."
"Your Majesty, the clan power is indeed illegal. King Xinbin is a distinguished minister who has made great contributions to the country. If he can be disposed of at will by his clan members, it will also affect the imperial authority and the state. In my opinion, the Yuan clan and the Yuan family should be punished. The new Duke, please order the Yuan clan to respect our people who have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty. Even if they are relatives, we must not insult or neglect them!"
Wen Tiren said.
"His Majesty!"
At this time, Wen Zhenmeng started to argue with Wen Tiren again.
"Okay!"
Zhu Youxiao stopped him in time, said something loudly, and then said: "Yuan Shu's matter involves etiquette and law. Whether etiquette is greater or law is greater, this matter must be clearly distinguished. Our Ming Dynasty should govern the country with etiquette. It is better to rule the country by law, which requires a court discussion. The report of Yuan Shu and the approval of the court meeting on this matter will be recorded in the "Di Bao" so that the people of the world can discuss it. I want to see what the world has to offer. How many scholars among us believe in etiquette and how many believe in law?"
Zhu Youxiao left here as he spoke.
"Your Majesty, if you let scholars all over the world discuss this matter, I'm afraid it will cause even greater controversy. Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty is no different than in the past. There are more and more scholars who value business and even take pride in doing business. They have already paid more attention to the trust of laws and regulations, and they are not interested in doing business. Etiquette has long been ignored and even hated, so if we let them discuss this matter now, it will only lead to great arguments and fights."
Bi Ziyan admonished him at this time.
Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly and said: "If we don't do this, how can more scholars be relegated and exiled to newly opened territories? In addition, let them focus the focus of the debate on this, and it will also save some of them from harboring suspicions about foreigners. Scholar-officials with benevolent thoughts have always focused on preventing the colonial expansion of the imperial court. I heard that many scholars were so benevolent that they secretly sympathized with the Japanese for the sake of so-called benevolence, forgetting the evil the Japanese had done to China! Now it’s just a good time for them to discuss more about topics related to the future direction of the Ming Dynasty, instead of fighting over other countries’ affairs!”
"Then ministers and others will act in accordance with His Majesty's will. Anyway, if the court does not raise some topics for them to discuss, they will continue to discuss other decrees."
Bi Ziyan smiled bitterly as he spoke, and said, "As Your Majesty said, there are still people who object to judging one's superiority or inferiority based on the degree of Chineseization."
"The more scholars there are, the harder it is to manage them. It is difficult to make them think in the same way, but it can also be guided. In addition, it is better to have more scholars, but it is better for the court to control them. The key point is to see who the court is willing to use. "
Zhu Youxiao continued.
"Since the middle period of the temple, there have been a lot of party disputes because of the large number of scholars. When His Majesty came to the throne, he had to take some tough measures to control the impact of the party struggles of scholars on the government. Now that there are more scholars, ministers We are worried that the struggle will become more intense in the future, and the court will have to use stronger means to implement the corresponding decrees."
Bi Ziyan said.
"So in the future, the requirements for the ability of the king and the chief minister will undoubtedly be higher. In my opinion, before it is clear who is more suitable for the Ming Dynasty, the ritual system or the legal system, let the Ming Dynasty use social governance to govern the country. This social governance is to promote the Ming Dynasty. The country is governed by the discipline of the society. No matter what other scholars think, the Xingming Society, which serves as the main official of the imperial court, must have the same ideas!"
Zhu Youxiao said.
"That can only be the case. After all, His Majesty is wise and knows how to rule the current Ming Dynasty. Although I have been in high and low officialdom for many years, I am still very confused about how to assist the government."
Bi Ziyan replied now.
"Although whether Yuan Shu's behavior is right or wrong needs to be discussed by the world, for our purpose of Xingming Society, which is determined to give power to the superiors, clan power must be eliminated!"
"I directly drafted a decree and asked Dongchang Wei Zhongxian to take people to Guide to seize the Yuan family for me. The family members and their genealogy were copied to the capital, and the Xingguogong family was also brought to the capital. But there is no need to confiscate the family! I The reason why I brought Xing Guogong to the capital is just because I don’t recognize that the Yuan family has the right to expel Xing Guogong from the Yuan family! After bringing Xing Guogong to the capital, I will do whatever the rules of his clan stipulate. Deal with him, let their clan leader have a taste of the clan laws he established, and let him establish clan rules without permission!"
Zhu Youxiao continued.
…
Two months later.
At the Yuan Clan Ancestral Hall, the head of the Yuan family, Yuan Ting, was convening a clan meeting for the elders of the clan and said: "There is news from the capital, saying that the treacherous son of Yuan Shu has sued all of our Yuan clan and wants to avenge his grandfather. Everyone, you Say, don’t our clan have the power to expel him, Yuan Keli, from the First Fang?”
"Of course there is! It doesn't matter if Yuan Ke has made great contributions and gained a high rank, but he only gained it by betraying the interests of our noble clan. He is not a glorious figure, but he still feels sorry for his ancestors!"
At this time, Yuan Keqing, Yuan Keli's contemporary, walked to the front with a cane and said something.
Shortly after Yuan Keqing finished speaking, his grandson Yuan Dong ran in: "Everyone, it's bad, many people from Dongchang are here!"
