Zhu Youjian: Taizu has an order! kill!

"Your Majesty! This is absolutely not okay!"

"Such a waste of people and money will surely bring down the entire Ming Dynasty!"

"This expense is really too much!"

A Confucian official suddenly stood up and shouted excitedly.

He is relatively rational and knows to start with money instead of directly opposing it.

But anyone can see that the fundamental reason for his opposition is because this plan has completely touched the bottom line of Confucianism!

Why can Confucianism always be based in the court?

The reason is not just because all the universities in the world are Confucian.

As long as scholars read Confucian classics, the banner of Confucianism will never fall.

However, now, His Majesty actually wants to establish so many schools.

This is completely digging into the foundation of Confucianism!

"money?"

"Now you don't have to worry about it."

"We have calculated that although the expenses are very high, the court can still afford it."

"This is for the benefit of everyone in the world. We hope that Confucianism can cooperate well."

Looking at the official who jumped out, Li Chen curled his lips and said calmly.

This is the benefit of having money in your own hands.

Oppose?

Sorry, I paid for it myself and didn’t use a penny from the treasury.

"Your Majesty, your money is actually the money of the national treasury."

"That's all the blood and sweat of the people of Ming Dynasty."

"How can it be such a waste!"

"My suggestion is to postpone it for two years and wait until the war outside has stopped before considering it again."

Your money?

That's all our fucking money!

Can you please give me some facial expressions?

The Confucian official almost didn't scold Li Chen for his shamelessness.

If they weren't afraid of being stabbed, they would have joined forces to ask you, the emperor, to return the money to the Ministry of Revenue.

Taking a deep breath, the man could only suppress his anger and continue to persuade.

"No more nonsense."

"We know that this is definitely not a good thing for you Confucians."

"After all, most scholars come from your Confucian school. This is the foundation for your foundation."

"Originally, we did not plan to carry out education reform so soon, but what you have done makes us have to make a choice."

"There is a saying that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. You should be aware of how many things you Confucians have done in the past two years."

"Corruption is rampant and waste is everywhere."

"You leaders are like this. We are really worried about what students the Confucian schools will be able to teach in the future."

"We don't have to worry when we're alive. If someone makes trouble, we'll just kill him."

"But if we die and a mediocre king emerges from our descendants, wouldn't that give rotten scholars another chance to control the court?"

"When the time comes, we will package up our Ming Dynasty and sell it to the Tatars. I'm afraid we will be angry."

"So, for the sake of future generations and to balance the power of the court, this education reform is imperative!"

"If anyone wants to object again, first see if his butt is clean. If it's not clean, I suggest you keep your mouth shut."

Two years?

Li Chen sneered and shook his head.

Now that I have said this, it cannot be delayed any longer.

How can I give you two more years to make arrangements?

I have made it clear that I have laid down the foundation of Confucianism.

Don’t give in and hold it in!

"Your Majesty, I know that you are very disappointed with Confucianism."

"But Confucians are by no means all corrupt Confucians."

"Besides, among hundreds of schools of thought, the only thought that is most suitable for controlling the people is Confucianism."

"Legalist military ideas are not suitable for the common people."

The Confucian official's face turned red at Li Chen's words, but he did not dare to speak any more.

His butt is indeed not clean. If he talks nonsense again, he will probably be killed by His Majesty.

When Huang Jin saw this, he could only stand up and speak for him.

What he said was a bit smarter.

Both inside and outside the words are hinting to His Majesty that this Confucianism is the best choice to consolidate the imperial power.

If you let the legalists and military strategists serve as teachers in the academy, are you sure you can sleep?

"Huang Aiqing, maybe we didn't make it clear just now."

"It's not that we don't use Confucianism. Confucian disciples are mainly responsible for ideological education and literary education in primary schools."

"But Confucianism will no longer be the only thought those children are exposed to."

"Confucianism teaches them benevolence and righteousness, Legalism teaches them justice, and military strategists teach them that they must avenge their enemies!"

"In this way, we will not lose our benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom, and trust, nor will we be like those rotten scholars who only chew words."

"If you say so, you Confucians should actually thank us."

"After all, the scholars trained by so many universities have their foundations based on your Confucian classics."

Huang Jin, an old guy, even gave Li Chen a headache.

He is indeed not greedy, so Li Chen's threats are of little use to him.

After thinking for a while, he patiently explained a few more sentences.

But after saying this, the Confucian officials below were already trembling with anger.

Even Huang Jin's face wrinkled up at this time.

Thank you?

Thank you so damn much!

Use our Confucian ideas to lay a foundation for children, and finally send them out to strengthen other families.

You can really say such shameless words!

"Your Majesty, Confucianism..."

"enough!"

Just when Huang Jin was thinking about a few more rebuttals.

Next to her, Feng Ying, who had been listening silently, finally spoke!

An angry shout interrupted Huang Jin directly.

"Confucianism is so corrupt that it has long been unqualified to educate the people of this world."

"Take a good look at yourself. You are a Confucian. You can't lead troops to fight, and you can't handle government affairs well."

"Aside from being greedy for money and betraying the country, what else can it be used for?"

"If we continue to let you control our thoughts, the future of Ming Dynasty will really come to an end."

"Your Majesty is kind and has given you enough respect to allow you to serve as children's first teachers."

"Don't be so shameless!"

"If it were during the Qin and Han Dynasties, based on the things you did, if you were not wiped out by the emperor's family, it would be considered as smoke from your ancestors."

"You still have the nerve to look down on our legalists and military strategists?"

"No matter what, we can never make such a decision that goes against our ancestors."

Feng Ying felt that he could not hold it in any longer.

Your Majesty obviously wants to completely support Baijia to rise to power.

With such a good opportunity, he, the Legalist, will stand on His Majesty's side no matter what.

He even felt that His Majesty was a little too kind.

He even gave Confucians the qualification to be an enlightenment teacher...

Are they worthy of these useless materials?

As he said this, he glanced at Zhang Weixian, who was watching the show on the right.

Don't just fucking look at it.

Help quickly!

"Yes, Master Feng is right."

"Academic institutions can no longer be Confucian schools."

"I support His Majesty's reforms."

"Of course, if the Confucian side is not convinced, I have a suggestion."

"Master Huang can go to His Majesty and ask for the small notebook in his hand."

"Remove all Confucian officials who are corrupt and bribery to the Yi and Qi tribes."

"Then the schools where these officials went to school when they were young will be closed down and punished."

"Although some people will die in this way, it can show Confucianism's determination to change itself."

"I wonder what Mr. Huang thinks?"

Zhang Weixian understood this and immediately offered to help.

Do you really think that the current imperial court is still your Confucian Yiyantang?

The time for a hundred schools of thought to contend has arrived.

You'd better be smarter.
