Daming: Refining zombies at the beginning, Lao Zhu was shocked

It turned out that Zhu Yuanzhang was still a little worried that Fang Xiaoru might cause some trouble, so the fact that Fang Xiaoru came to the Han Dynasty to be a teacher for the Prince of Han was basically hidden from the people in the court, only Li Xin, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and others. Only a few people know!

Li Xin personally supervised Fang Xiaoru's affairs. After all, he was Zhu Li's father-in-law, so he could keep the secret!

Although Fang Xiaoru seems to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yue to belong to the old school with stubborn ideas, no one can deny the influence of this old guy among scholars!

Being able to control Fang Xiaoru will naturally bring more benefits to Zhu Yue!

If he couldn't handle it, then Fang Xiaoru would have to deal with it separately, so Zhu Yuanzhang would try his best to conceal the news!

If the civil servants of the imperial court, especially the Confucian scholars, knew that Fang Xiaoru actually served as the prince's teacher in the Han Palace, it would definitely cause quite a shock!

Now that Fang Xiaoru could return to the Han Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that it was time to take advantage of this old guy's reputation!

This will also make reforms that are full of resistance become smoother!

Regardless of the fact that reforms are being implemented all the time, there are policies from above and countermeasures from below. Perhaps no one in the court dares to oppose Zhu Yuanzhang, but how efficient is the implementation, and how many people are delaying or coping?

Especially those so-called scholars who are deeply influenced by Confucianism. Most of them have forgotten the essence of their studies after becoming officials!

Don't look at these Confucian scholars who keep saying that they are dedicated to the public and the people, but in fact they are only doing it for themselves!

Fame and fortune cannot be circumvented even by great scholars of the time!

No matter how honest you are, you will always strive for reputation!

People like Fang Xiaoru are not interested in making money, but they rarely want to leave a good reputation for themselves!

But if even an old die-hard like Fang Xiaoru starts to support reform, what will other scholars in the world think?

Of course, Fang Xiaoru doesn't even need to stand in front of the stage. As long as he can stay in the Han Palace and be Zhu Yue's man, that's enough!

To put it bluntly, taking sides also means expressing one’s position and attitude!

If I don't support the King of Han's reforms, how can I serve the King of Han?

Even if Fang Xiaoru doesn't think so himself, others will think so too!

"I'll go to Xi'an when I have time. It just so happens that Imperial College also needs a group of Confucian students as teachers. With Fang Xiaoru as a brand, it shouldn't be a problem to win over a group of people!"

"By the way, among the civil servants in the court, some of them will inevitably turn to you. Those who should be dealt with should be dealt with first!"

Zhu Yuanzhang expressed his thoughts directly to Zhu Yue.

As a qualified emperor, it is also necessary to make full use of the value of every tool!

Regardless of whether Fang Xiaoru wanted it or not, he was plotted by the old man from the very beginning!

"Okay, I haven't been to Xi'an for a while, so I just happened to go see how the construction of several factories there is going!"

Zhu Yue heard this and did not refuse.

So the next day, Zhu Yue and Zhu Yuanzhang set off directly to Xi'an Mansion.

On the second day after Zhu Yue arrived at Xi'an Mansion, the news that Fang Xiaoru was working as a teacher for the Prince of Han in the Han Dynasty Mansion had spread throughout the court!

Just as Zhu Yuanzhang expected, the group of civil servants and the group of bachelors from the Hanlin Academy who were opposed to reform immediately exploded!

Who is Fang Xiaoru?

He was once the proud disciple of Song Lian, the first Confucian scholar!

His status is definitely among the top among Confucianists!

Although Fang Xiaoru cannot represent all scholars, it will still drive those people who usually admire Fang Xiaoru so much crazy!

Once it gets crazy, it's two extremes!

Or they scold Fang Xiaoru for betraying all scholars and spending his whole life reading the books of saints and sages in the belly of a dog!

Or he is a die-hard loyalist, just like those brainless fans in later generations, thinking that Fang Xiaoru must have his reasons for doing this, and it must be right!

As for this group of people, their mentality will naturally change when it comes to the issue of reform!

This is true for scholars, and it is also true for scholars who become officials!

Most of the civil servants who privately insist that reform cannot be carried out, how many of them are truly unswerving?

Most of them just lack a reason to convince themselves!

When a great Confucian began to side with the King of Han, that is, the side of the reformists, it was equivalent to playing a leading role, making the literati and civil servants who originally wanted to support the reform but were afraid that they would be encouraged by the scholars seem to be It seems like we have found the direction!

You see, even Fang Xiaoru supports Zhu Yue, King of Han Dynasty, so what if we support him?

In this way, Fang Xiaoru also succeeded in making Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yue open a hole among the scholars, and also made more and more scholars support or not oppose the reform!

This effect is actually very scary, and it also makes those scholars who have always opposed reform feel fear!

Zhu Yue also took advantage of this trend and directly attracted the support of a group of civil servants in the court and some scholars among the people!

Coupled with the group of officials and nobles who originally supported Zhu Li, Zhu Li formed a faction in the court with himself as the core!

At the beginning of the capital move, Zhu Yue had always been very restrained. In fact, it was Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor, and Zhu Biao, the prince, who advocated reform and wanted to reform boldly!

This also made most people think that Han Wang Zhu Li was not that strong, and it also made many people relax their vigilance!

But this time, the time was obviously ripe, and Zhu Li's actions caught everyone off guard!

It also made the officials who were disapproving of King Zhu Li of Han finally see the methods of King Han, just like a hungry wolf finally showing its fangs, which actually made them feel frightened!

Only then did everyone realize that even if the imperial court moved the capital to Xi'an, the king of Han had the final say in the entire northwest!

Now, even in the court, the influence of King Zhu Li of Han has begun to increase day by day!

A vassal king actually had his own faction in the court, and it was in name only!

This was something that was simply unthinkable before!

First of all, you will not be able to pass Zhu Yuanzhang!

The vassal system formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang, which confers princes out after they reach adulthood, also has this consideration!

When an adult prince stays in a power center like the capital, he can always build his own faction!

This has happened throughout the ages!

Just say that during the prosperous Tang Dynasty, even if Li Shimin established the crown prince Li Chengqian, the other princes also had their own group of followers in the court!

With Zhu Yue's ability and strength, it is a very simple matter to pull together a group of officials who support him to form a huge faction. All he needs to do is pull everyone's interests together. No one is willing. Work hard for Zhu Yue!
