Yu Qian on the side watched the conversation between the two people and began to think about it.
Although he is straight-tempered, he is not a fool.
Li Xian's analysis was very reasonable and even factual, and the reason why he told it all was to turn His Majesty the Emperor's hints into an explicit threat.
The best way to make Wang Wen do his best is to hold a jelly bean in one hand and a big stick in the other.
Yu Qian also believes that even if Li Xian doesn't say it today, Zhu Jianshen will say the deeper meaning in the future. In the court today, whether my sword is good or not will be a foreshadowing.
………………
The news that the imperial court was going to implement a new tax law spread throughout the capital in just two days. These things had little impact on ordinary people, but for the big squires, it was an earth-shattering thing.
Some old ministers who have retired from training in the capital are furious. I studied and gained fame in the first half of my life, and worked for your old Zhu family in the second half of my life. Now I have finally saved some land and wealth for my descendants, but you tell me that you want to I pay taxes, give me my youth, give me my sweat...
These old ministers went to the homes of former former officials and disciples one after another, trying to get them to say something to stop Yu Qian and others from trying to implement the new policy that subverted the law...
But they felt the real situation of people disappearing and the world turning cold and cold.
Most people choose to stay behind closed doors, and even if they do meet, they evade in every possible way, and no one dares to say what they say...
A few days ago, there was such a big commotion in the Fengtian Palace. A group of people were dismissed from office, including the boss of the Shangshu position. A group of people were beaten to the ground. The medical expenses were not paid, and the palace did not send a eunuch. Condolences.
This is a foregone conclusion.
Therefore, most officials have to protect themselves wisely and can only draw a clear line with their former teachers and old bosses. They will just hang around and wait to die like this in their lives, but their lives have just begun, and there are endless possibilities. At this time , Opposing the New Deal just wants to end his life passively.
Some officials also see that the trend is irreversible. Some of them are firm in their goals and will support the New Deal from beginning to end, while others feel that they are smart.
Now if His Majesty the Emperor wants to change, he can change it, but change is not a simple matter. When Yu Qian and others cause some big trouble, it will be the time when they will jump out to oppose it again.
Of course, people's hearts are the most elusive things in this world. They can support you unswervingly today, but they can find opportunities tomorrow and overthrow you in one fell swoop...
Officials who are qualified to participate in the court meeting are in a state of silence...
They know how to be patient while waiting for the imperial edict from the palace and the detailed regulations and official documents of the cabinet.
But what Wang Wen said was that the imperial students in the Imperial College did not know how to tolerate it.
In fact, these imperial students do not have much privilege. If they want to enter the official career, they still have to pass the imperial examination...
However, the Imperial College has strong academic qualifications and the possibility of passing the examination is much greater.
In the second year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered that the highest academic institution, Guozixue, be changed into Guozijian.
The Tai students who go to school here are roughly divided into two categories, one is official students and the other is people's students.
"Emperor Taizu Gao initially designated the sons of the country as the second class of official students and people's students. Official students are from the superiors, and people's students are from the tribute."
"In the first year of Hongwu, the students were selected as Guozi scholars, the disciples of high-ranking officials were official students, and the people who were handsome were the people's livelihood."
Later, the number of official students decreased, while the number of people's students began to increase, becoming the main body of imperial eunuch students.
In the past, one of the descendants of officials from the first to sixth grades could be selected to study in the Imperial College. However, most of these officials' sons were not very easy to learn. Zhu Yuanzhang saw that he could not improve the talent discovery, so he changed the scope of the first to sixth grades. , changed to the point where one of the heirs of a senior official above the third rank can enter the Imperial Academy.
When Emperor Taizu Gao was in power, he attached great importance to the Imperial College. The biggest reason was that there were not enough local officials. At that time, it was easier to enter the official career. Unlike now, involution is serious and the imperial examination is getting more difficult every year...
The biggest reason is that in the Yuan Dynasty, they divided people into four classes. Only the first-class Mongolians and the second-class Semu people could be officials. Zhu Yuanzhang killed almost all of these two types of people, and local officials appeared in great numbers. Large-scale vacancies also needed someone to fill them, so government schools were founded on a large scale.
In the Ming Dynasty, official schools were set up at all levels of government. "The great ancestor Emperor Gao ordered the counties and counties in the world to build schools together to educate scholars."
Most of the people in the Imperial College were selected from this official school, and most of them were in their early twenties.
Of course, there are also some failed scholars who entered the Imperial Academy through paying tribute at their own expense.
In the first year of Yongle, Emperor Taizu Wen established the Imperial Academy of Shuntian Prefecture. In the 18th year of Yongle's reign, the capital was officially moved to Beijing, and the Imperial College of Shuntianfu was renamed the Imperial College, and the Imperial College of Yingtianfu was renamed the Imperial College of Nanjing. The imperial students were divided into the Southern and Northern Imperial Colleges.
Of course, these two Imperial Colleges also refused to accept the other. For a period of time, the dispute between the Northern and Southern Imperial Colleges was also very fierce. Although Yingtianfu Nanjing was also the capital of the Ming Dynasty, it had six departments and hundreds of officials.
But those officials were all pretending to be a place of retirement, and the emperor was not in Yingtian Mansion.
The Imperial Academy of Shuntian Prefecture believed that this was the real highest institution of learning because he was at the emperor's feet.
The students of Yingtianfu in Nanjing believed that they were the highest institution of higher learning in the Ming Dynasty. Why? Because this was the Imperial College established by Emperor Taizu Gao for a long time. After the capital was moved, it was not banned. Instead, it was named in Taichang Temple. Higher than the Imperial College in the capital...
Of course, the dispute between the two Imperial Colleges was at best a matter of writing and scolding each other in the distance. The court could tolerate it, but what could not be tolerated was that the dispute between the two Imperial Colleges eventually involved issues left over from the history of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, during the Xuanzong period, Zhu Zhanji gave the two Imperial Colleges sacrificial wine, and the ministers made a decree not to talk about the north-south affairs anymore. If you continue to talk, you will talk about the grievances between the uncles and nephews of our old Zhu family. Okay, where does this put the face of our old Zhu family, and where does it put the face of my grandfather, Emperor Taizong Wen...
Because of Zhu Zhanji's intervention, the dispute between the Northern and Southern Imperial Colleges has subsided somewhat...
…………
Although the current Ming Dynasty's management of the people and indulgence of scholars have not reached the peak of the Song Dynasty, the long-term loose rule has still given these Imperial Academy scholars signs of moving closer to the Song Dynasty academy.
They dare to speak and curse.
Since the rumors of the new tax system began, as representatives of scholars, students from the highest universities.
The imperial students who were patriotic and loyal to the emperor couldn't bear it anymore.
They have not really enjoyed the privileges of scholars. Now you tell me, no more.
How can you bear it?
First, they found the sacrificial wine and wanted to express everyone's dissatisfaction. However, when they arrived at the mansion, they saw that their beloved sacrificial wine had a bandage on his head, his face was red, swollen and bruised, and two of his teeth were missing. He could not even speak. Not sure.
The imperial students who came to see the wine offering were all very angry.
How can you still hit someone?
But now Lord Jijiu can't speak clearly and can't ask anything.
Then more than a dozen imperial students arrived at the home of Si Ye of the Imperial Academy. Si Ye was relatively young. He had just reached sixty years old and had a bright mind. During the war, when he saw that the situation was not right, he immediately retreated strategically. Except for the first person who was confronted by Zhan. After Yang hit his head with his fist, he had not been beaten since then, so there was only one bag on his head that did not fall off, and there was no external injury.
It was also from Si Ye's mouth that the imperial students knew what happened in the court. Yu Qian was a great hero and a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty. I heard that Yu Qian was also involved in the reform. They all had mixed feelings. confuse.
But when Si Ye said Xu Youzhen's name.
The student immediately found the key point of the problem.
In the past, Xu Youzhen only deceived His Majesty the current emperor, but now he even deceived the Taibao, and relied on his youth and strength to punch and kick the minister.
This clearly shows that he doesn't take the Imperial College's reputation seriously.
At that time, the always passionate imperial students began to plan revenge against Xu Youzhen.
In fact, they had no idea what happened in the court, and it didn't matter whether the New Deal was brought up.
They just want revenge.
At the moment, I secretly contacted more than 30 people.
But before it could be implemented, it was defeated by Jin Yiwei.
As soon as they arrived at the place where Xu Youzhen passed home, they were caught by Jin Yiwei...
Many Tai students were reprimanded, and some were even sent to prison to watch the prisoners' torture process. After frightening the prisoners out of fear, they were released.
In fact, after the court meeting, Zhu Jianshen gave Zhu Ji an order, asking him to send people to keep a close eye on the Imperial College, as well as the main ministers. If there is spare time, all officials should also watch...
Zhu Jianshen knew that these imperial students would definitely find ways to cause trouble for such a big event, but what they did was a slap in the face of the Ming Dynasty, and they could only nip it in the bud. BIquGe.biz
In the Palace of Qianqing.
Zhu Jianshen sat on the dragon chair and covered the emperor's treasure with his own hands on the imperial edict.
After stamping the seal, Zhang Bao dragged it up and walked slowly to Xu Youzhen's side. Xu Youzhen also hurriedly caught the imperial edict with both hands.
He's setting off again.
However, the difficulty this time is much more difficult than my trip to North Korea and Qinyang Mansion.
"I hope that the censor of Xudu can succeed immediately. When I go this time, I give an order to Chen Ying, the Marquis of Taining. I will take the seal of the Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Army and the seal of Ying Tianfu to go with you. Your safety will be ensured by Zhao Cong of the Hundreds of Jinyi Guards. Responsible."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. This trip has a lot of time. I hope Your Majesty will take good care of the dragon body and don't let pedantic officials like Wang Wen make you angry again." Xu Youzhen was moved in her heart and said hurriedly.
Zhu Jian smiled deeply and nodded: "Don't worry, if he gets angry with me again, I will listen to your advice and kill him."
There were only three people in the palace, and Zhu Jianshen started to blame others as usual...
"Two days ago, Zhu Ji reported to me that some imperial students secretly ambushed you on your way home. They had wooden sticks full of iron nails hidden in their hands. They threatened to destroy the national traitors for me. I asked Zhu Ji to secretly arrest them. , and then continued the investigation, but there was no one behind it, do you know why?"
Xu Youzhen was obviously stunned after hearing what Zhu Jianshen said.
This student ambushed me on the way to get off work and wanted to fuck me?
unacceptable.
But then I thought about it, His Majesty must have secretly arranged for the Jinyi Guards to protect him in the dark, so that he could successfully thwart a vicious plot to attack a high-ranking official.
Sure enough, if your heart is facing the sun, fearing no sorrow, and never forgetting it, there will be an echo...
I feel sorry for His Majesty, and His Majesty will also feel sorry for me.
Of course, his idea was correct, but not entirely.
Zhu Jianshen indeed ordered Yu Qian to send someone to secretly observe Xu Youzhen to see who he was contacting secretly. The first one was Zhan Yang at night, the second one was Yu Qian, still late at night, and the third wave was these Tai students who didn't know the heights of the world.
As for other major officials, they were surrounded by Jin Yiwei's spies.
It's just that what these imperial students hate most is Xu Youzhen, and they only target him.
At this time, Xu Youzhen's head turned quickly and he thought a lot, but he did not think about answering the questions Zhu Jianshen asked him.
Zhu Jianshen looked at Xu Youzhen who was thinking about something, paused, and then said: "Censor of Xudu, am I asking you something?"
"Ah, Your Majesty, I will definitely do my best. This trip to Tianfu will be a success immediately and I will never disappoint Your Majesty..."
The donkey's lips are not the horse's mouth...
But it’s the standard answer…
