Chapter 411: Fierce public opinion

However, this time, Chongzhen really judged a gentleman by his villain's heart.

Zhang Shenyan complained that Chongzhen did not hold the ceremony of offering prisoners, which was not to satisfy the formalism of the civil servant group, but to Chongzhen's sake.

Zhang Shenyan is nearly seventy years old, so how can he not tell that Chongzhen is vilifying him?

However, this man was a real gentleman, and he was also an open-minded gentleman. He did not grab Chongzhen's braid like those corrupt scholars who seek fame and reputation to make a big fuss.

At this moment, Zhang Shen sighed: "Master, the old minister is not sincerely picking your fault, which makes you embarrassed. In fact, the old minister agrees with the many measures you have taken. For example, when you are promoting various examinations in the Imperial Examination, not just limited to Cheng Wen, the old minister agrees very much. Cheng Wen, the eight-legged essay, should have removed the imperial examination long ago."

"Another, for example, what you said, Confucian etiquette should keep pace with the times, and the old ministers also agreed with it."

"It is not the time when the Warring States Period was in a state of collapse and music. My Confucian etiquette has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts, so things such as respecting wise and wise relatives should have been abolished, especially for the honor of honor and honor."

"Because I share the names of the emperor, I have to change all the names of the ancients. How can I do this in the world?"

"For example, the Lord, you ordered King Jingjiang, Duke of Qian, Duke of Wei and other royal family members to donate all the fields under your name to help the country to relieve the difficulties and overcome difficulties. The old minister even agreed."

"There are also changes to the land and return to the current situation, and the old ministers agree with it very much."

Zhang Shenyan said this, and he was confused by Chongzhen and couldn't tell. You, the respected Zhang Shenyan, is so perfect when flattering, and I feel embarrassed to say it.

But Chongzhen was also very smart and soon realized that something was wrong.

"What?" Chongzhen's face turned down and he said coldly, "Is there another censor in the capital who insulted me? And the scolding was quite harsh?"

"There is no more wise than the priest." Zhang Shenyan said, "The priest, the public opinion in the capital is already fierce."

"Public opinion is fierce?" Chongzhen said snorting, "It is not one or two censors who insult me ​​like this, but a large number of censors, Om?"

Zhang Shenyan said: "Sir, as of yesterday, most of the censors in Beijing have submitted memorials, and many officials in affairs have also submitted memorials, and they are all scolding you."

"Is that true?" Chongzhen smiled, "Where is the memorial? Let me take a look."

"Master, you don't have to read the memorial, so as not to get angry with your dragon body." At this time, Lu Zhenfei said, "You just need to know that there is this matter. Then we will hold a ceremony to offer prisoners to quell the rebellion in Shadingzhou to create public opinion. We can suppress the criticism of the ministers and reunite the hearts of the people."

"That won't work." Chongzhen laughed and said, "I just want to see it."

After saying this, Chongzhen said again: "Do you give it to me, or do I have someone to pick it up?"

"Sir, I have left one of the most excessive books here." Qian Qianyi suddenly took out one from his sleeve.

Gao Qiqian, who was standing next to him, immediately grabbed the memorial from Qian Qianyi and quickly walked to Chongzhen to deliver it.

Chongzhen opened the memorial book and saw a line of beautiful small calligraphy written on the title page: Li Hui'e, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, wrote it carefully.

"Li Hui'e? Why do I look familiar with this name?" Chongzhen thought, "I think I've seen it somewhere?"

Qian Qianyi looked embarrassed when he heard this. Lu Zhenfei, Zhang Shenyan and Meng Zhaoxiang rolled their eyes when they heard this, thinking to himself, can you be more favorable to one or the other?

Lu Zhenfei said: "Sir, Li Hui'e is the top scholar in the Yi Chief Certificate!"

"Ah? Oh, I remembered it." Chongzhen said suddenly, "Last year of Enke."

Lu Zhenfei and the other four were even speechless. Master, how careless you are about E Ke Enke, you can't even remember the top scorer.

Turning further down, the first sentence is the quoted Hai Rui's famous saying: In order to speak out the most important thing in the world, to correct the king's way, to understand the duties of ministers, and to seek security for all ages, is this to learn from Hai Rui?

A king is the lord of all subjects and all things in the world.

You must be careful, observe, and cultivate your virtues.

Seeing this sentence, Chongzhen's face immediately collapsed. Is this scolding me for not cultivating my virtue?

The next step is to quote the classics and splendidly discuss the virtues. Chongzhen skips them directly. These are nonsense and have no substantial content at all.

After a few thousand words, there was finally substantial content.

Your Majesty has been inappropriate since the end of his reign, and his crimes are eight.

The first crime is to abandon the ancestral tomb without filial piety...

The second crime is that the land is abandoned without reason, causing the land to sink north of the Yellow River...

The third crime is to misinterpret Confucian etiquette, resulting in moral degradation...

The fourth crime is to be mean and ruthless, and to deprive the property of the royal family of the heroes without reason...

The fifth crime is to reward excessively, and the troublemakers have no size to get the land...

The sixth crime is that he is greedy for money and good goods, setting up a market place, and the silver account maliciously accumulates people's wealth...

The seventh crime is licentious and unjust, and he takes prostitutes and barbarians as concubines, and he doesn't know what shame is...

The eight sins are obsessed with miscellaneous learning, like curious skills and tricks, and regard the great way of imperial examinations as nothing, and acts against the contrary, intending to subvert the right way of Confucianism for thousands of years to win scholars?

Chongzhen was sweating profusely when he saw this scolding.

"Haha, okay, okay." Chongzhen closed the memorial and sneered, "One Zuo Guangxian comes again."

Lu Zhenfei said: "Master, Li Hui'e and Zuo Guangxian are different. Zuo Guangxian is a corrupt scholar who seeks fame and reputation. However, Li Hui'e's personal ethics can be regarded as a role model for officials."

"So, he scolded right." Chongzhen smiled, "Is it that I was wrong?"

"Sage, I don't mean this." Lu Zhenfei said with a dark face, "It must be wrong for Li Hui'e to insult the saint like this, and his words are indeed a bit too extreme."

"Isn't it because Master Lu's meaning wrong?" Chongzhen smiled, "Although Li Hui'e's words are a bit too extreme, the general meaning is not wrong. Master Ge means that, right?"

Lu Zhenfei fell silent, obviously because Chongzhen said that.

In fact, the cabinet has quarreled almost every day in the past few months.

Or rather, it is the chief assistant Lu Zhenfei and the second assistant Zhang Shenyan who quarreled every day.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The third servant Meng Zhaoxiang and the fourth servant Qian Qianyi are behind the scenes and rarely participate in the debate.

Lu Zhenfei said silently, but Zhang Shenyan said with a sigh: "Anyone who accomplishes great things should be careless of the details. The emperor does not have to care about the nonsense of these little ministers."

Hearing this, Lu Zhenfei couldn't help it.

"Myongshan, Li Hui'e's words may not be all nonsense, right?" Lu Zhenfei frowned, "No matter what else, he said, "Reform Confucian etiquette, miscellaneous learning, and strange tricks and tricks, and deprive all the land under the names of the royal family. The emperor is a bit too rough and too fucking."

When Chongzhen heard this, he frowned.

This is really like water, how deep is it?

Therefore, controlling people's hearts is the most difficult.

In less than a year, the honeymoon period between him and Lu Zhenfei, the new cabinet chief assistant, ended? What's this? After the Donglin Party is defeated, will the Imperial Party start to fight intra-fight?

Damn, wouldn't it be uncomfortable if you don't fight with the party?

"The chief minister's words are definitely difficult to agree with." Zhang Shenyan retorted, "Can't Confucian etiquette be changed? Confucius said, do not be afraid of changing the mistakes. Zuo Zhuan also said that if you can change the mistakes, it is no greater good..."

Lu Zhenfei argued: "The question is, has Confucian etiquette really been passed? Has it really reached the point where it must be changed?"

"How is that?" Zhang Shenyan said, "If you respect the wise and wise, it is very wrong to keep the laws of heaven and get rid of human desires. The reason why human desires are the laws of heaven is the laws of heaven. How can you get rid of it? Is it still a human being after the desires of human beings? It is a thing!"

"This is really a fallacy." Lu Zhenfei said angrily when he heard this, "You are quibbling, you are misinterpreting."

"Okay, stop arguing." Chongzhen could only forcefully interrupt the two of them and asked with a dark face, "So, what is Li Hui'e's and the others' demand? They just want to scold me, or do they have to force me to change their course?"

"Father!" At this time, Zhu Cijiong suddenly shouted, and it turned out that he had already finished reading the memorial.

Zhu Cijiong pulled out his waist knife with his backhand and said with a dark face: "Son, let's go and look for Li Hui'e, and cut it with one knife!"

"Shut up! Why are you cutting?" Chongzhen scolded, "If you want to speak, the sky will not fall."

After pausing, Chongzhen asked Lu Zhenfei again and said, "Lu Ge Lao, so what are Li Hui'e's specific demands?"

Seeing that Lu Zhenfei was hesitant and dared not say anything, Zhang Shenyan immediately became impatient and said on behalf of him: "Sage, Li Hui'e and his friends demanded the restoration of the etiquette of respecting the wise and wise, and asked the emperor and the Changsun to change their names, demanded the withdrawal of the edict to abolish foot binding, and also required the royal family and vassal kings and ministers to return all the residences, family resources and land. Oh, by the way, Deputy General Li and Shi Nan Xuanfu Envoy Ran Sanniang would also be expelled from the central examination immediately."

"It's simply outrageous!" Chongzhen was furious when he heard this.

"You civil officials can visit prostitutes and concubines, be romantic and happy. I just take care of two concubines. You have to take care of you. With me, I am the puppet in your hands. I have to do whatever you ask me to do. I can't do anything you don't let me do? Is I the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, or are you the emperor of the Ming Dynasty? Om?"

"Sir, please calm down!" Lu Zhenfei quickly turned over and knelt on the ground, "expelled Deputy General Li and Ran Xuanfu from the middle school. This matter is indeed caused by those little ministers who make unreasonable trouble. I have already admonished him for the emperor."

"It's not just this one." Chongzhen snorted, "I'm not sure about other requests! If they don't agree, just continue to report the memorial and insult me. Let's see if they can scold me alive."

Lu Zhenfei advised: "Master, people's words are terrifying, but they still need to be cautious."

"How fearful are people's words?" Chongzhen snorted coldly, "Georgian is right, people's words are scary."

Speaking of this, Chongzhen continued, "I will let them know what the real people are. Jiong'er, leave, go to the East Palace to see our Emperor's eldest grandson, Zhu He's the Ming Dynasty!"

After Chongzhen said that, he turned around and left, leaving four pavilions in the cold wind.
