Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 421
Naturally, the civil servants did not dare to make a big fanfare, and opposed Lao Zhu's opinion openly.Emperor Hongwu was so powerful and decisive, how could he be compared to those weak emperors of the former Song Dynasty?
Don't you see Yang Xunwen in Fengtian Palace?Not afraid of prestige, speaking out for justice, but ended up losing his official post.

Of course, Yang Xunwen made accusations and suppressed the prince. This method is not a "righteousness".It's just that literati have always paid attention to a spring and autumn style of brushwork, which is connected with each other.Yang Gong stepped forward, and if there was something inappropriate, they naturally concealed it.

The civil servants are not trusted today, and these civil servants are not totally unaware of this. Since Hu Weiyong's accident, His Majesty has appointed officials from poor families who have no heel to fill the cabinet, and he is increasingly using the cabinet to replace the original Zhongshu province. .This has caused deep resentment among the remaining "Qingliu" who thought they could swallow up the power vacuum left by the Ministry of Education.

This time, His Majesty took advantage of the opportunity of rewarding meritorious service, and wanted to quietly let the fifth prince enter the Imperial Academy.Where is the Imperial College?The place where the future bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty were cultivated, and the important place of culture and education in the world!

What is His Majesty doing, isn't it just to hope that all the officials of the imperial court will come out of the rich family in the future?
How can civil servants bear it?They knew that this matter could not be suppressed, so fortunately they thought of a way to save the country with a curve.That is to set up literary clubs and recruit scholars from Shilin, especially the supervising students of the Imperial College.

It has to be said that their ideas are still brilliant.After all, in terms of academic proficiency and the reputation of scholars, no one can match them, a group of long-established Confucian scholars.On the day when all the students of the Guozijian go out, who is the sacrificial wine of the Guozijian, and what does it matter?

No one would abandon a well-known old Confucianism and worship a child who has not yet been crowned as a teacher.

It's a pity that their structure is still a little lower, thinking that what Lao Zhu wants is only the Imperial College.But they don't know that Lao Zhu's goal is the entire Shilin, and he has long planned to wipe out most of them...

Zhu Su also came to Qixia Mountain.He was not alone, Fang Xiaoru, Xu Yungong, Li Jinglong, Zhu Xi, and Zhu Di all came.The clothes of the few people are also very interesting, all white Confucian gowns with cuffs tied inside, and they are capable, but also a bit chic.

There is also a long sword hanging from each person's waist. It is not a ritual sword used by those rich and noble children who call themselves martial arts, but a guy who can really use it to kill people in battle.The sword spine is wide and thick, and the style is simple and simple.There is no need to take out the sheath, and they all carry a bit of cold evil spirit.

This outfit is not like Wen, nor Wu like Wu. It is considered a standard exotic costume in this era, and it has attracted many people's surprised eyes along the way.

Zhu Su has also been to Qixia Temple.After all, it is a famous temple in Yingtian. In the past, when I was in Huangzhuang, I was thinking about it, and I visited it on horseback.Today, I found that there were more people going to Qixia Mountain on this road than usual. They randomly asked passers-by to ask them. The passers-by were afraid of the swords in their waists. Yes, even the three elders of Pingyang were invited together. He is like a master! Although we are just stupid villagers, we also want to listen to the truth of Wen Quxing."

"Three elders in Pingyang?" Zhu Su was at a loss.Li Jinglong, who had the most friends among them, hurried forward and said, "It's easy to teach Fifth Uncle to know that these 'Pingyang Three Old Men' are referring to three great Confucian scholars, Zhou Rugui, Shi Shande, and Zheng Boxuan."

"These three elders came from Pingyang Prefecture, Wenzhou Road in the Great Yuan Dynasty, so the world collectively called them the 'Three Elders of Pingyang'. Those who don’t want to go out of the mountain. This time, they were invited here.”

"What are the three elders in Pingyang? It sounds similar to 'Black Wind Shuangsha' and 'Yellow River Four Ghosts'. It's still my king's nickname of 'convincing people with virtue', which sounds more extravagant." I heard that these three elders Zhu Xi, who once refuted his father's face, has recently been addicted to martial arts, immediately opened his mouth to ridicule to show his disdain for the three elders.

The two brothers Zhu Di and Zhu Su laughed.The second brother is right, although the names of the three elders are bluffing, in the eyes of them who have passed through the battle between the two armies, they are just those little ghosts blocking the way in the storybook.On the other hand, Li Jinglong and Xu Yungong, who had never been with them when they were in Jizhen, and had never heard Zhu Su talk about shooting eagles, looked at a loss at this moment, not knowing what allusions are about the black wind and evil spirits, and the virtue of convincing people.

A group of people continued to move forward, and when they arrived outside Qixia Temple, they saw a crowd of people bustling with each other, which was a grand event.Many great Confucian scholars helped to maintain order. Confucian scholars wearing Confucian crowns sat on futons in the venue and listened to the lectures on the stage, shaking their heads and fascinated by each one.As for ordinary people, they could only sit on the ground far away, and they couldn't hear clearly.

However, out of awe of learning and fear of many servants, the common people did not dare to get too close, nor did they dare to make loud noises.

"Wait." Seeing that Zhu Su and his party were about to enter the arena swaggeringly, several servants of unknown family quickly stopped them. "It's a place where great Confucians give lectures, non-Confucian scholars are not allowed to enter!"

"Aren't we like Confucian scholars?" Zhu Su looked at his attire.The servant looked up and down, and said with a smile: "I said, young man, you are pretending to be a bit like a disguise."

"Masters of Confucianism are all Wenqu stars in the sky. They are so precious. Who would wear such a stupid sword? Let's just listen to it from the outside, so it will be somewhat contaminated with literary spirit. Maybe in the future, you can also be a real high-ranking official, a fine horse. What about riding?"

Zhu Su laughed out loud, as expected of a literati family member, he spoke in a way.Pushing away the servant and walking away, the servant was shocked and wanted to continue to stop him, but he saw Mr. Lu who was supposed to be on the high platform hurried over, wiped his sweat and saluted the young man: "Mr. Zuo Silang, Lu Ben, has seen the three His Highnesses and the princes!"

"Lord Lu." Zhu Su smiled slightly. "I heard that you set up a cultural meeting, which is a good thing that benefits the culture and education of the country. Such a grand meeting, I came to the wine uninvited, you will not blame it?"

"Don't dare, dare not!" Lu Ben was sweating profusely. "Your Majesty is bold enough to ask Your Highness to follow me, and I will arrange a seat for His Highness and you."

Zhu Su nodded, not embarrassing this person too much.Don't look at Master Lu who is obedient and cowardly.In history, his grandson is the good grandson Zhu Yunwen who is "sincere and pure and filial". The first suspect in Ying's death.

Can give birth to such a good daughter, how can Lu Ben be an idle person?

Originally, at this moment, he should have climbed to the high position of Minister of the Household Department.It is precisely because Lao Zhu hated Wu Jiwu because of Zhu Yunqi's affairs, and suppressed him many times, that's why he is still just a mere Zuo Si doctor.

Zhu Su is very afraid of this person, but he will not underestimate this person easily.
