"Your Majesty wants to test the common people?"
"And the exams are "Da Gao" and "Huang Ming Holy Instructions"
The powerful bureaucrats were shocked after hearing this.
They did not expect that His Majesty the Emperor would do this.
To be honest, for many ministers, they already feel uneasy when they see so many people outside at this moment, so they really want these people to disappear immediately. Now, these people actually have to stay here for half a month. , which is really difficult for many of them to accept.
What's more, they also have to study the "Da Gao" and "Huang Ming Holy Instructions" which they least want the people to learn.
The former is where Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang told the people how to defend their rights reasonably, and the latter is the ideological weapon that the people have on how to fight.
Therefore, although Zhu Yuanzhang once required that every common person in a household must have a copy of the Da Gao, and when committing a crime, if the family can produce the "Da Gao", the crime can be reduced, and Zhu Youxiao also repeatedly issued edicts, asking the government to do so for everyone. Everyone reads the "Sacred Teachings of the Emperor", and even those who go to school must take this book. However, the bureaucrats all over the world have been perfunctory about this matter, taking advantage of human beings' lazy nature, and allowing the people to ignore these two books.
Therefore, there are still very few people who really know the contents of these two books.
There are also very few scholar-officials who are willing to analyze the connotations of these two books for them.
Only a few people who take the initiative to acquire knowledge and have the ability to learn by themselves will understand the deep meaning of the emperor.
But this is a minority after all.
As a result, the people's wisdom has not yet been fully enlightened.
But now, the emperor wanted to take advantage of his personal prestige to summon many people to the capital to instill such thoughts in them and enlighten the people's wisdom.
This naturally makes many ministers who are unwilling to enlighten the people's wisdom feel even more uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty is really resourceful! If he does this, it would be better to just mobilize the troops and massacre all the tens of thousands of scholars who had previously requested reforms. That would be better! It would also stimulate the blood of the scholars in the world!"
Chen Weisong said this to his friend Zhang Ersu, who was an official in the same dynasty a few days later.
"Zhang really just wants to know when will these Guizhou leaders leave?!"
"Seeing things like locusts outside so densely every day really makes people tasteless, sleepless and restless!"
"If you don't change the law, you won't change the law. If you let these people stay here, my time will be like a year!"
Zhang Ersu spoke to Chen Weisong distressedly.
"Haha! What a locust thing, Mr. Zhang, your metaphor is apt. There are just a bunch of locusts in Beijing outside! Wherever they cross, there is no grass growing, which makes people feel very uncomfortable!"
Chen Weisong said.
In fact, Zhang Ersu and other officials did not feel uncomfortable with the appearance of a large number of common people and the fact that they were all crowded in the capital city.
Many powerful bureaucrats feel this way.
In their view, the city of Beijing seems to be theirs alone, and the large influx of these common people seems to have occupied their territory, which makes them feel uncomfortable.
Of course, they not only felt uncomfortable, but also a little scared.
When there are not many people, they will have a sense of superiority.
But when there are too many people now, their sense of superiority is gone, and what is replaced is only a sense of panic about too many people who are not of the same class as themselves.
"I ask your Majesty to order the people to return to their hometowns!"
"I also ask Your Majesty to order the people to return to their hometowns and cancel the exams. The Great Imperial Edict and the Holy Instructions of the Emperor Ming can be allowed to go home and study on their own!"
"Yes! People gather in the capital for a long time, fear of trouble!"
This day happened to be the great court meeting held once a month. Many ministers and even nobles from the clan came forward to ask the emperor to issue an order to allow the people to return to their hometowns.
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao said: "Why are you so anxious? Are there any thieves among the people? Is there anyone who robs or does other illegal things? Boss, you are the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture. Please tell me if there are any."
"Back to my father, this is not the case."
Zhu Ciwei replied.
"In this case, why bother to rush the people back? After only three days, you are going to force me to return to my hometown. This will leave the people free. What's more, it is a rare opportunity for me to get close to the people! I can't just let you These officials should be close to the people and not let me be close to the people."
Zhu Youxiao started talking about it.
"Your Majesty! There are so many people in the capital, it really makes me feel uncomfortable. I don't know why, but when I see the dense crowd of people outside, I feel very scared. I am worried that they will take away the foundation of my Ming Dynasty Sect!"
At this time, the county prince Zhu Youyi stood up and made a report.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I am also very afraid. There are so many people, so crowded. If they stay in Beijing for one more day, I will feel very anxious. I am always worried that they will rebel and fight with us. "
Sincere Bo Liu Kongzhao also started talking at this time.
Zhu Youxiao replied: "I don't think there is anything scary. Even at this time, I don't feel that I am alone! What are you afraid of?"
"Your Majesty, you are not afraid. You are the right one, but we are afraid!"
Zhu Youdi spoke aggrievedly at this time.
Liu Kongzhao couldn't help but said boldly: "To tell you the truth, at this time, even if your Majesty has wiped out the nine clans of me, the people outside will follow suit and love you, because you are the emperor of the ages, from ancient times to the present. The greatest emperor, the most popular monarch! But we are only afraid that they will blame us and say that we are not worthy of being ministers in the palace, and then they will drag me out, verbally criticize me, or even beat me to death with random punches, so I am very afraid!"
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but laugh: "It's good to be afraid! If you are afraid, it shows that you are sincere and can save you, and you have not ruined the reputation of your ancestors!"
As he said that, Zhu Youxiao looked at the courtiers in the hall: "Didn't many scholars and businessmen call for reform in front of the Metropolitan Procuratorate before? We haven't even agreed on the reform yet, so how can we let the people leave? "
"Your Majesty, those are just ignorant scholars and businessmen making noise. Why bother paying attention to them? Let the people go back."
Zhang Ersu also started talking with a wry smile at this time.
"That's right, His Majesty has his own plans to change the law. It's not them who has the final say. The most important thing is to let the people go back to their hometowns!"
Chen Weisong, who has always supported reform, also responded.
"inappropriate!"
"The common people cannot go to Beijing in vain. It is best to reach a conclusion on whether the reform should be unchanged or not. The thinking of the Han people in the world must be unified. While the common people are coming to Beijing, I will ask them to seize the time to study again. It will be just right. Take this opportunity to set the tone. In the future, the Ming Dynasty, or the king of the Ming Dynasty, will be based on whose interests will be the foundation of the world!"
Zhu Youxiao stretched out his palm to refuse, he would not let the people back easily.
"this!"
Many of the powerful bureaucrats below felt embarrassed by this. When they thought about living in the same city with these common people from all over the world, they wanted to find a hole to hide themselves. They had never been so close to another person before. They don't know how to get along with people of the same class, and they will even write poems to pity or praise the common people, but it is only when they come into close contact that each of them really feels the oppression of the class.
