"Haha, could you please open Chrysostom?"
Chongzhen sneered, but actually he was laughing wildly in his heart.
You are waiting for me to open my mouth, why am I not waiting for your words?
After thinking for a moment, Chongzhen glanced at everyone, and then fixed his gaze on the students of the Imperial College.
"I propose that for the supervisors of the Imperial College, firstly, the five privileges granted by Taizu to scholars should be permanently abolished.
Secondly, within three years, one hundred poor children were taught to read every year, and the total number of words in three years was one thousand!
If you agree, how about desecrating the corpses of soldiers who died in battle? "
This time, not only the students in the Imperial College were stunned, but also the officials. Yuan Keli and others also looked thoughtful.
I really don’t know how the emperor came up with such two punishments.
They can still understand the abolition of privileges. After all, when the emperor first ascended the throne last year, the students of the Imperial College made trouble, and the emperor wanted to abolish the privileges of scholars (students), but was persuaded to stop.
It is not too out of the ordinary to mention it again now, only for the current students of the Imperial College.
What does it mean to teach common people how to read?
What Chongzhen did was to make these students act like silver carps and disturb the entire scholar population of Ming Dynasty.
We are students of the Imperial Academy, the highest institution in the Ming Dynasty. We cannot enjoy the five privileges set by Taizu. Why can you people who are not qualified to enter the Imperial Academy enjoy it?
If you want to enjoy it, everyone will enjoy it; if you can’t enjoy it, no one will enjoy it.
If there is an imbalance, conflicts will inevitably intensify.
Then arrange for someone to stir things up secretly, and when the time is right, he will take action and abolish the privileges of all scholars.
Teaching people to read is naturally to prepare for future education reform and imperial examination reform. Although one thousand words is not enough, in this era, it basically gets rid of the label of illiteracy.
Two thousand tribute students, three hundred people, the total is 600,000, this base number is already quite enough.
"Your Majesty, this..."
"Come here, expel those who make noises from the Imperial College and never hire them again!"
Chongzhen suddenly interrupted the speaker: "It's you who say the money, it's you who says there's no money, it's you who let me come up with ideas,
I have made an idea, but it is you who disagree with me. Do you really think I am easy to talk to? "
"Liu Zongzhou, you are the Minister of Rites, and the Imperial College is under the control of the Ministry of Rites. This matter has been settled. I don't want the process, I only care about the results.
Remember, if these people dare to commit fraud, future generations will never be allowed to take part in the imperial examination! Do you understand? "
"I understand!"
Liu Zongzhou, the Minister of Rites, immediately stood up and responded.
Chongzhen's face was cold, and he looked at the officials again: "As for you, you will be inspected once a year using the methods of Beijing inspection and Kaoman.
If you fail to meet the standard of competence twice in five years and three times in ten years, I will dismiss you from your post, confiscate your home and exile you, and future generations will not be allowed to take the scientific examination.
Serving as an official, benefiting one party, and being loyal to the emperor at the expense of the emperor's salary. This investigation is your own business. This kind of punishment is not an embarrassment to you, right? "
"I thank your Majesty for your kindness!"
All the ministers thanked Chongzhen in unison.
"Okay, it's all gone, go and do whatever you need to do!"
Chongzhen waved his hand and took the lead to walk out of the valley.
Although his face was cold, his heart was full of joy.
The purpose of bringing everyone here is four-fold. The first is to witness, so that the great victory of the master's return to the court will not be said to be a fraud.
The second is to beat the people and use their mouths to frighten other gentry and wealthy businessmen who did not come,
The third is to kill people and kill people's hearts. He wants this memory to become everyone's nightmare and a knife hanging over their heads in the future.
The fourth is to trick everyone. This battle costs a lot of money, so someone has to buy it.
According to historical records, Li Zicheng, the king of the rebels, went to Beijing and looted 70 million taels of silver, and then Jian Nu came to Beijing and found another 30 million taels. It is difficult to say whether the data is true or false, but these people are definitely extremely rich.
The wealthy businessmen had money, but he couldn't kill them all, and he couldn't openly ask for money. The students were making trouble, and he couldn't intervene in all of them.
Officials who do not perform their duties can only be dismissed and investigated. It is better to deal with it this way. The value of six to seven hundred seventh-grade Beijing officials who dedicated their duties is far more than ten thousand taels of silver.
There is a saying that goes well, a country's nature is easy to change but hard to change. It is simply impossible to use this matter to make them good in the future. It is better to gain something real.
Yuan Keli and Qin Liangyu followed Chongzhen, their eyes filled with wonder.
They thought they had figured out the emperor's intention of bringing everyone here, but only now did they realize that what they thought was still too simple.
The emperor has calculated everyone. The most important thing is that these people are still unable to resist. If they dare to resist, the millions of soldiers of the Ming Dynasty will not let these people go.
The gentry and wealthy merchants in the valley looked at the emperor's figure disappearing at the entrance of the valley, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey, I'm free now. I don't want to stay here for a minute anymore!"
"I swear I will never come to this place again. These past few days have been a nightmare!"
"Let's go, let's go wash up in Luanhe River. I feel uncomfortable all over now!"
"Let's go, after washing up, while the weather is still bright, we can go a long way, find an inn to have a good rest, and return to the capital quickly, this is not a fucking life for human beings!"
…
"Leave? If you want to die, just leave!"
Hearing everyone shouting, Ruan Kangwen sneered.
"Ruan Kangwen, you've had enough. Why are you everywhere? You can leave whenever you want. What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Ruan Kangwen, do you really think we are afraid of you?"
"Speak clearly, why are you seeking death? Your Majesty said we are free, are your words more effective than His Majesty?"
"Ruan Kangwen, even though His Majesty favors you so much, you can have no scruples and make us angry. We will unite to destroy your Wuhu giant store!"
…
"Ruan Kangwen, Your Majesty invites you!"
"Yan Yingyuan, Your Majesty invites you!"
While everyone was yelling at them, two Jinyi guards ran to Ruan Kangwen and Yan Yingyuan and said a few words.
Everyone immediately shut up, and their faces turned blue and red in an instant. The slap in the face came too fast.
Everyone in the Imperial Academy looked at Yan Yingyuan who was leaving, their eyes full of envy. In the eyes of the emperor, not only he would rise to the top in one step, but at least he would have a promising future.
Looking at the two people leaving, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, it doesn't matter whether you want to leave or not.
"His Majesty just said, should you wait until the tomb is repaired and pay homage before leaving, or should you leave now and make your own arrangements? It doesn't matter how you interpret this!"
Liu Zongzhou glanced at everyone and walked towards Luanhe, followed by the other ministers.
The rest of the people had a sad look on their faces. They were not fools, so they naturally knew the meaning of Liu Zongzhou's words.
As the saying goes, listen to the sound of gongs and drums, and listen to the sound of words. They didn't dare to bet on whether the emperor said it casually.
If you make a wrong bet, the consequences will be serious.
"Let's go, the tomb and the memorial tower will take at least half a month. Should we wait here, or come back two days before they are built, we will discuss it. Now go to Luanhe River to wash up!"
