The imperial censor Gao Xiang splashed ink and quoted scriptures.
From the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to the Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, thousands of words have been written in scattered books, expressing all the grief and anger in his heart. Gao Xiang said bluntly: "A woman who is a good embroiderer at IKEA should debase herself to the imperial court. We are all masculine, and we will defend our lives without dishonoring the Four and Five Classics." !”
One after another, the memorials were sent directly to Wuying Hall.
The censor just talked about it, but other officials of the six departments were not willing to be busy and wrote books of impeachment.
Some people even pointed the finger directly at Wei Guogong Xu Huizu, labeling him as someone who "has no shame in talking about the harem".
Even Qin Tianjian, who couldn't hit the three poles, said something about "watching the sky at night, there may be strange changes."
Zhu Yunwen sat in Wuying Hall and watched these memorials with relish.
The level of these people is really not given in vain. Their words are beautiful, their dialogues are neat, and their sentences are smooth. They even curse people without using curse words.
"You said that when a woman entered the Imperial College, she frightened all the civil servants of the dynasty. Are women so scary?"
Zhu Yunwen said to Ma Enhui, who was holding the child beside him.
Ma Enhui chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, my concubine has spoken before. Why do you still act like this when you know it is inappropriate? It is reasonable for the minister to object now."
Zhu Yunwen waved and said to the eunuch Shuangxi beside him: "Whoever wrote these notes should be returned to them. You can ask them a few words on my behalf."
Shuangxi asked: "What does the emperor want to ask them?"
Zhu Yunwen laughed and said: "Just ask them, does your mother know how to read? No, it should be, does your mother know how to read? Does your wife know how to read? Does your daughter know how to read? Do you want to know how to read?"
Shuangxi opened his mouth and glanced at Ma Enhui in embarrassment. Ma Enhui lowered his head and said nothing, so Shuangxi had no choice but to agree, and wanted to leave with the memorial in his arms.
"etc."
Zhu Yunwen stopped Shuang Xi, and then ordered: "Follow them home, and ask them to ask their mothers, wives and daughters in person, write them down, and give me a reply."
Shuangxi agreed and quickly went to make arrangements.
Ma Enhui suddenly laughed, looked at Zhu Yunwen and said, "Your Majesty, your move is a bit bandit-like."
Zhu Yunwen laughed.
To deal with this group of pedantic people, direct reasoning will not work.
The Analects of Confucius says that a gentleman should stick to his roots, and the Tao is born from his roots. He is also filial to his younger brothers, which is the foundation of benevolence.
Since you scholars pay attention to filial piety and brotherhood, you can’t help but listen to your old mother, right?
Send them to ask their questions, and then discuss Xu Miaojin's affairs.
"Reporting to your Majesty, Fang Xiaoru, the Minister of Imperial Academy, is asking for an audience."
The eunuch reported.
Zhu Yunwen agreed, and a thin man about forty years old, wearing a ninth-grade green official uniform with a coiled collar, walked in.
This is Fang Xiaoru, who was punished by Zhu Di as one of the "ten tribes"!
If Fang Xiaoru had not been killed by Zhu Di, I am afraid that later generations of historians would definitely classify him as Li Jinglong and his ilk. The labels of spy, incompetent, and idiot would certainly be indispensable.
Fang Xiaoru was known as a "child prodigy" when he was young, and later became a disciple of Song Lian.
Song Lian was called "the first of the founding civil servants" by Zhu Yuanzhang.
It stands to reason that Fang Xiaoru was valued by Zhu Yuanzhang and summoned twice, so he should have a prosperous official career.
But Zhu Yuanzhang chose not to use Fang Xiaoru, but left it to his son. After his son died, he left it to his grandson, who is now Zhu Yunwen.
Zhu Yunwen sighed. If historical development is true and Zhu Di attacks the capital, Fang Xiaoru and more than 800 people will go to hell together.
To say that he is a loyal minister is true, absolutely true, and he is also a loyal minister through the ages!
When he faced Zhu Di's butcher knife, he was so upright and invincible.
His belief is the scholar's belief that "you must kill yourself to achieve benevolence, and do not seek life to harm benevolence."
I would rather die than surrender, and I would rather die than obey the two masters!
However, his ability did not match his position. Zhu Yunwen failed in the fight with Zhu Di, and his "loyal words" must bear a great responsibility.
After Zhu Yunwen gave him a seat, he looked at Fang Xiaoru. Although his face was sallow, his eyes were bright and his will was tenacious, and he said, "Mr. Fang is here for Xu Xuezheng's affairs?"
After hearing this, Fang Xiaoru smiled calmly and said: "The Zhou Li has always held the position of female officials. Although they are in the inner government, the consideration of Xu Xuezheng's position is only for His Majesty to select talents. As long as Xu Xuezheng's words and deeds are upright and in line with etiquette, there is no problem. "
"oh?"
Zhu Yunwen was a little surprised.
I thought Fang Xiaoru was a rigid nerd, but unexpectedly he knew how to be flexible.
"I am here not for Xu Xuezheng, but for Wenzhi."
Fang Xiaoru said seriously.
"Go on."
Zhu Yunwen gestured.
Fang Xiaoru talked eloquently and said: "I have lived in a remote place for a long time. When I first arrived in the capital, I was gifted by the emperor to serve as a lecturer in the Hanlin Academy. I saw that the emperor was devoted to Confucianism and literary studies, with the intention of civilized governance. But I thought that if we practice civilized governance, we should respect "etiquette" "Let's go."
"What do you mean, sir?"
Zhu Yunwen frowned.
Fang Xiaoru said frankly: "The emperor summoned King Yan to the capital with the intention of reducing the vassalage?"
Zhu Yunwen looked at Fang Xiaoru and said nothing.
Fang Xiaoru continued: "I beg you, Your Majesty, it is absolutely unacceptable. Although King Yan is the head of the King of Sai, he has done nothing wrong. If he is summoned to the capital and forcibly cuts off the vassal, it will be disrespectful. Kuang Taizu has only been away for more than a month. Your Majesty So he took action against King Sai, fearing to chill people's hearts."
Zhu Yunwen waved his hand and said with a smile: "Sir, you are overly worried. This emperor summoned King Yan to the capital to make up for his previous mistakes. This dynasty respects benevolence and filial piety. If the emperor's family cannot do it, how can it set an example for all the people?"
"really?"
"Of course. In order to avoid King Yan's worries, I also ordered the reduction of 100,000 troops to inform the kings that they have no intention of reducing the vassal. At the same time, wouldn't it be better to use the army to fill the people and open up wasteland in Nanshan?"
"My emperor is wise."
Fang Xiaoru knelt down in surprise.
Zhu Yunwen sent Fang Xiaoru away, but Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng came again.
After the two heard the news about the reduction of 100,000 troops, they were even more frightened and hurriedly wrote a letter. However, Zhu Yunwen ignored the two people's notes and put them aside.
When the two received no reply, they asked for a meeting directly.
"Your Majesty, we must not disarm at this time..."
"Please, Your Majesty, please take back your life..."
The two of them were talking to each other, making Zhu Yunwen a little worried.
In the end, there was nothing we could do.
Zhu Yunwen praised the two men for their loyalty and said that it would never affect the army's combat effectiveness. Even if it was reduced, he could stabilize the two men by recruiting tiger and wolf soldiers from the border.
After the two left, Zhu Yunwen picked up a memorial, which was written by Yuan Tai, the right deputy censor of the capital. There was a sentence in it: "The imperial edict, my mother has not been buried, and my father is ninety years old, it is inappropriate to give up and carry out it."
This is to attack Xie Jin who came to the capital for funeral.
It was because of a memorial from this man that Xie Jin, one of the three great talents of the Ming Dynasty and who later compiled the "Yongle Dadian", was driven to Gansu to eat sand.
A smile appeared on Zhu Yunwen's lips, and he said softly: "Jie Jin, do you want to compile a "Jianwen Dacan" for me, haha. Come, I will order Jie Jin to enter the palace."
