There was a gloomy atmosphere in the Nuan Pavilion.
I was really afraid that something would happen. The thing I was most worried about in the past two days finally happened.
Jin Yiwei immediately reported the chaos to the palace.
Emperor Jing also summoned the cabinet and the prince in without hesitation.
At this moment Emperor Jing had no choice but to give in.
As a veteran of two dynasties, Li Yansong's powerful and detailed insight is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary officials.
What he said is true, but it's a pity that no solution was given.
Emperor Jing kept pacing in place, while Li Yuanzhao and others stood aside and did not dare to sit down.
Jin Yiwei has not reported further details of such a troublesome matter, and does not know how it will develop. He can only wait for Fang Zheng to come over and ask questions.
Emperor Jing's brows knitted together fiercely, and he kept saying: "How could this be? How could those people be so courageous! They gathered a crowd to make trouble and attack the Hou Mansion! Don't they know who Fang Zhengyi is!"
Li Yansong said sadly: "Your Majesty, scholars who have not entered the officialdom are always like this. What the old minister least wants to see has happened. Now the old minister suggests that the court should make preparations early and give in for the better. It looks like the confrontation between the two will eventually end. The result is a lose-lose situation for both sides.”
"Give in, you want me to take back my life?" Emperor Jing's steps faltered, and he said displeasedly, "They are just a bunch of rotten scholars who don't understand current affairs, they are extremely arrogant! Do they know what is right and what is wrong?"
"Who can help me raise money and reduce expenditures in the national treasury, and who can make the country's army work day and night? They are all talkers on paper, and no one can do practical things. If they fail in the imperial examination, they have no ability, but they What is the use of such a scholar who is making trouble with excuses!"
Li Yansong knew that Emperor Jing was angry, so he could only calm down and said: "This is not what I meant, and the imperial court's decision will only be released after careful consideration. And we can fully satisfy the demands of those scholars. Why not add another group of Jinshi to be selected?" Can be appointed by the imperial court."
Emperor Jing objected: "No! Record as many records as they need to be satisfied. What should the remaining people do if they start making trouble again?"
Li Yansong said: "Call them together and make a public announcement. If the remaining candidates who have not been added to the list still cause trouble if they do not abide by the agreement, then it will be in the hands of the imperial court. Thirdly, the Jinshi who will be admitted later can also be urgently appointed. If we only order him to calm down the matter and deal with it separately, the worst he can do will be to divert disaster to the east."
"Hey..." Emperor Jing pressed his eyebrows, feeling a headache, "In the end, if it doesn't work out, this is the only way. I have been on the battlefield all my life, but I have been defeated by everyone in the world..."
Just when Nuange was immersed in a dull atmosphere, Fang Zheng arrived with great force!
There was great joy on his face, as if he had just returned from outside after the New Year.
Everyone looked at him sideways, before Emperor Jing could ask.
Fang Zhengyi said loudly: "I see you are late, and I hope your Majesty will forgive me! I congratulate Your Majesty, and congratulate Your Majesty!"
The ministers looked at each other in confusion. Emperor Jing looked at him and said, "Don't you know that someone is making trouble outside the Marquis Jianye's Mansion? How happy am I?"
Fang Zhengyi said loudly: "Of course I know, and I just came back from the scene and saw it clearly."
"Then why are you congratulating me?" Emperor Jing wondered.
"As far as I can see, all the scholars are in the Hou Mansion to denounce and angrily denounce the injustice of the court! So I am very happy." Fang Zheng said eloquently, "My status today is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Officials see me more It’s caution.”
"But these scholars, whose status is considered humble in front of the ministers, dare to speak their minds directly in front of the gate of the Marquis Mansion and make suggestions for the country. Their patriotic sentiment is touching!"
"I was in a peaceful and prosperous time, and the peace lasted for a long time. I read the history books all over, and I found that during this prosperous time, scholars tended to put on makeup and make themselves look like women, and regarded weakness as beauty. After that, the world went into decline."
"But my situation is different. The candidates in this world are brave and iron-clad! They dare to go straight to the top and are not afraid of power! Let's not talk about the rights and wrongs in the matter. The character and courage they have displayed are the best in human nature. The precious side, this fully shows that our country is prosperous...from ancient times to the present, it has been far ahead!! Therefore, I lose my temper and cannot help but congratulate Your Majesty!"
"Hahahahaha!" A burst of hearty laughter came from Emperor Jing's mouth, "They say that the prime minister can support a boat in his belly. I see that he can support a warship in his belly. Who else in the civil and military dynasty has such a big heart? ah?"
The original dullness in the Nuan Pavilion was instantly eliminated by the impact.
Li Yuanzhao's chin almost dropped to the ground.
Good guy! My father was angry just a second ago!
It has to be Lao Fang, who just entered the room and said a few words and settled it?
Guo Tianyang had a dull expression on his face.
Li Yansong and others pouted Lao Gao.
damn it! You really can't let go of this old business at any time, and now it's urgent. Why don't you just go into the house and take pictures?
Even taking pictures of His Majesty cannot solve the actual problem!
But there is a good thing. It is rare that he spoke on behalf of scholars...
Emperor Jing felt relieved and relieved his depression. He sat on a chair and asked, "How is the situation outside now?"
"I have sent people to seal off the surrounding area, and the situation has not expanded for the time being."
"No violence, right?"
Fang Zheng laughed briefly and said, "My son has always advocated using love and justice to influence his opponents. Jin Yiwei is also constantly strengthening its own image building. Even when facing extremely vicious people, it must act according to the rules."
"These scholars just can't think about it for a moment. They are all innocent. Naturally, I can't solve the problem with force. I am currently evacuating them with soft fists."
Emperor Jing nodded with satisfaction: "I see that you seem to be confident, so tell me how to solve it. It's okay to keep it locked up like this. These people are the mainstay of our future. Once you lose control, you should be aware of the consequences."
Fang Zheng nodded: "I have some initial ideas, but they haven't been formed yet. But generally speaking, the root of the problem is just that the two parties don't understand each other. If something like this doesn't happen today, it will happen tomorrow."
"The scientific concept of Dongda is too utilitarian in the eyes of scholars. It does not talk about cultivating the mind and only talks about technology. In the eyes of many people, it is tantamount to going astray and corrupting morality. The changes brought about by science and technology are naturally at the center of the DPRK. They can see the whole picture and understand it clearly. These scholars obviously have a much narrower vision."
"All in all, there is a lack of information. If they knew more, they might be able to change their minds."
"So my solution is to teach carefully and communicate patiently until mutual understanding is achieved between both parties."
Emperor Jing was a little disappointed: "Is this your method? It doesn't sound very clever. If those people can talk it out, will it give me a headache?"
Fang Zheng cupped his hands and said: "The truth is simple! My sincerity, love and patience will surely influence others. So today I would like to take a leave of absence from Your Majesty and leave this matter to me with complete authority. I will return to the court when the matter is resolved." Please allow your majesty."
Emperor Jing leaned forward and said in surprise: "You really want to solve it yourself without the need for me to send someone to help?"
Fang Zheng shook his head: "The resources I can mobilize are enough... If you can't ask for help from the imperial court again, before that, please keep your Majesty and the princes in mind, just pretend that this matter has never happened, and don't be affected by it. State affairs.”
Emperor Jing looked a little dazed.
I originally wanted to help him share some of the burden, but he ended up doing it all by himself!
"I've decided on this matter. Just go ahead and do whatever you want. If you need help, please come to the palace and tell me in detail."
