Domineering Daming

The other, sitting on the ground with his ass on the ground, looked dazed, his eyes glazed over, as if he hadn't reacted yet.

His father was a half-disciple of Zhao Nanxing, and this time he signed it only at his father's request.

The inner prisoner left after reading. Xu Dahua came out, waved his hands to the two with annoyed expression, and said, "Take them away, their dismissal order will arrive soon."

"Yes!" Several yamen servants rushed in and dragged the two away.

The two were still in a daze, they were dragged away, they didn't yell or struggle, which was beyond Xu Dahua's expectation.

On the other side, a group of internal eunuchs came out of a college, and behind them, more than 20 internal eunuchs, cabinet clerks, and imperial guards strode away in a very majestic stride.

Behind them, a group of people knelt on the ground, motionless.In terms of etiquette, they can't find any faults.

"What... what does this mean?" A kneeling student in his 30s suddenly straightened up and asked in horror.

"If you are only short-sighted, narrow-minded, and read the books of sages in vain, I understand it. If you have a sinister heart and frame Daming, the disaster will be in this world, and the crime will be in the future, you should be punished! This, this is to pour it on us!" Dirty water?"

"The truth is simple, and Meng Tong knows it. What is the intention of the Qing and the emperor to go up... Could it be that the emperor is going to do something to us?"

"The farmer and the snake, who is the farmer and who is the snake? Dean, what should we do?"

This group of scholars were still kneeling on the ground, already terrified and apprehensive.

The cruelty of the current emperor is obvious to all, even the clan has been killed in sevens and eighties, how can they care about them again, the butcher's knife will be lifted up!

"Liang Yuan, what should we do now?" An old man walked over with a solemn expression.

"That's right, the emperor made such a sudden decree, does it mean that the imperial court is going to attack us?" A middle-aged man walked out from the back of the courtyard with a worried expression.

The person named Liang Yuan was a thin and dignified man in his fifties, wearing a long gown, and a hale and hearty half-century old man in his fifties.

His name is Ma Youlong. Tianqi served as the school supervisor in Jiangxi for four years. Zhao Nanxing was dismissed. He resigned and went back to give lectures. "Du Academy" opened classes.

As Zhao Nanxing's most proud disciple, he naturally clamored for his teacher, kept calling for grievances, and sought to become an official several times.After the failure, this "Qingdu Academy" also became a place to "point out the current malaise", criticize the most intense place of the government, and faintly become the leader of a certain group of people, a holy place, "to see each other in the universe".

Although these people made a lot of noise, the style of study in the Ming Dynasty was always open, and very few people were convicted for their words. In addition, the court and Zhu Xu had no intention of touching them, so they have been alive and kicking until now.

Ma Youlong was very calm. He glanced at the crowd and saw that they were all his own people. He said: "You have also heard that the imperial court may no longer tolerate us. I plan to go south immediately to Nanzhili. Do you want to go to Nanzhili?" Come with me?"

"Let's follow the teacher, anyway, the imperial court can't tolerate us!"

"That's right, if you stay any longer, Tiqi will be the one waiting for you, don't wait for a while!"

"Let's go, let's go. The emperor is stupid and the court is ignorant. No matter how loud we shout, it's useless. Why don't we go south, contact our comrades, and go to the court in the future. When the time comes, we will respond to everyone and cleanse the world!"

"Okay, Liang Yuan, we'll follow you, we really can't stay here anymore, hurry up!"

"Yes, pack up the things immediately, I will contact the caravan, no, we will divide into two batches, one on the road and one on the water!"

"Some things should be burnt quickly, you can't take them with you, and there are some letters, you can't keep them!"

A group of people chattered and moved quickly.

Ma Youlong nodded and discussed with a few people. In less than a stick of incense, this famous "Qingdu Academy" in the capital was empty.

They never thought about the content of Zhu Xu's edict, and they didn't think about it at all.

Moreover, from the beginning to the end, Zhu Xu and the six courts of the cabinet did not intend to move them!

This decree was actually drawn up by the cabinet based on Zhu Xu's words, and it was as relaxed as possible. If Zhu Xu's original words were followed, many people would die of shame.

Soon, the content of this decree spread and spread in the streets and alleys of the capital.

"Sure enough, the emperor is far-sighted. This firearm is so powerful. If I, Ming Dynasty, ban it, I'm afraid the country will not be far away from subjugation."

"Yeah, isn't that the same as cavalry killing horses, shield soldiers throwing away shields, and archers throwing away bows and arrows? How do you fight? How do you defend Daming?"

"Hey, these adults have never been on the battlefield. It is said that they believe that the battlefield depends on 'benevolence' to win..."

"puff!"

"If 'Rende' can win battles, why do we need soldiers? Why do we need Jiuzheng? Why worry about building slaves for so many years?"

"Sit at home, win a decisive victory thousands of miles away, half of the Analects of Confucius rule the world..."

"Hahaha……"

Chapter 993 There must be a result

Because of this imperial decree, there was a huge wave outside the palace.

"Qingdu Academy" fled the capital directly, which caused shock in other academies, followed by blasphemy, strange, bizarre and gorgeous rhetoric, "reasonable and well-founded", eloquent articles poured out one after another, flowing in the capital.

Scholars in the capital are now clearly divided into two factions. One faction firmly supports the "New Deal" of the imperial court. The status of speaking.

The other faction regards "Donglin" as a sage, and regards the imperial court as a scourge. No matter what happens, they just open their mouths to scold and criticize severely.Most of these people are the remnants of the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party, people from the periphery, and those who were purged by the court, banned from imperial examinations, and entered official positions.This wave of people is the largest and the number is astonishing.

There are only a small number of people in the capital, most of them gather on the Qinhuai River, lingering on the river every day, accompanied by famous prostitutes, singing poems, talking loudly, pointing out the current problems, talking about current affairs, and drinking to soothe their sorrows.

Relatively speaking, there are a small number of government officials, or government and opposition officials who support the "New Deal", and they are more silent, and generally do not participate in the "controversy" among scholars.

At this moment, all governors and prime ministers have received orders from the cabinet, requesting that within half an hour, they rush to the cabinet with their paperwork and continue to discuss a series of reform plans such as the "New Deal".

Fu House.

Li Banghua and Lin Rirui came to visit Fu Changzong. The three sat in the gazebo, drinking tea and talking about things.

It was already early spring, and it wasn't that cold. The three of them sat in a circle, and there was no one else.

Lin Rirui was only 50 years old, puffy, wearing a thick cotton padded jacket, sat for a while sweating all over his head, and said while wiping: "Master Fu, this capital city is indeed as you said, there are ghosts and monsters everywhere, there is no peace."

Li Banghua was in the capital for a long time, and was also transferred to Tianjin Wei after that, so he knew these things very well. If he retreated to Wanli, during the reign of Tianqi, it would be even more terrifying, with fierce party struggles and many bones!

Although Fu Changzong has been in the capital, under Zhu Xu's protection, he has nothing to do and is fearless. Looking at Lin Rirui, he smiled and said, "Stay a few more days, let's leave together."

Lin Rirui nodded and looked at Li Banghua.

This "New Deal" has been delayed for a long time, and he is also anxious. The imperial court is urgent, and there are a lot of things waiting in Gansu, which is even more urgent.

Li Banghua's face was thin and his body was straight. He looked at Fu Changzong and said, "Master Fu, what are you thinking about this 'New Deal'?"

Regarding the cabinet's "New Deal" plan, Fu Changzong did not speak from the beginning to the end. At most, he expressed "neutral" opinions on certain issues and did not reveal his attitude.

Fu Changzong looked at Li Banghua, and said as usual: "I will see you today."

Li Bangyan's expression was slightly shaken, and he said with a little joy: "My lord is saying, will you make a statement today?"

Fu Changzong's influence in the government and the public is definitely not comparable to that of the cabinet. He is not only the emperor's uncle, but it is as simple as being in charge of the household department for many years.
