Chapter 542 My Zhang family in Jingzhou is not a gentry, why should I help the gentry? (plus more)

When Shen Shixing reprimanded these six department officials, some Jinshi officials couldn't help but feel ashamed, knowing that today's matter is really out of the question;

And some officials started to sob. The reason why they wept was not because of remorse but because of frustration. After all, if you can't do literary or martial arts, you will naturally be depressed.

But for these bureaucrats who were born as officials and scholars, no matter how badly they were beaten in this fight, it can be regarded as a lesson.

After this incident, although Huang Yuntai was fined a year's salary because he was the first to do it, he still did not choose to resign, but diligently supplemented his map knowledge.

He began to learn to compete with Lu Xia and other newcomers within the rules.

If you don't learn it, you can't do it. After all, you can't beat it.

Yan Shiqing was fined for making the situation escalate because of clamoring to go up together, and he was fined for one year. He did not choose to resign, but worked hard to train his muscles, as if he wanted to stop suffering in the next fight.

In any case, this is an improvement.

For these officials of official origin, it is naturally impossible for them to voluntarily give up their power resources.

However, they don't have enough force to turn the table, so after they are defeated, they can only choose to improve their level, so as not to further squeeze their power resources.

Zhu Yijun felt the obvious change after seeing some civil servants' chapters, and said to Shen Shixing while the imperial servant was warming up, "It's all benefited, and the statement is much more realistic than before, not so much. Full of empty words."

"Your Majesty said yes!"

Shen Shixing replied with a smile, and said, "It's actually thanks to His Majesty's new strength to spur them on. Otherwise, they would never know how to be humble and eager to learn, and they would never know how to take the initiative to understand the conditions of the people."

"However, Jinshi who only read Confucian classics and righteousness are still inferior to officials trained in Xingming Academy. They either whitewash the bluff, or speak empty and unrealistic, and think they understand everything, so education needs to be strengthened. .”

"Nowadays, more and more scholars are going to prisons to listen to lectures and improve themselves. Instead, we can directly expand the lecture halls in the prisons into Jinyi Academy."

"Just do it!"

"In the future, scholars from all over the world can come to Jinyi Academy to sign up for the exam of Jinyi Academy, and then become students of the academy, accept training from the imperial court, for future use."

"In addition, I heard that there is a very famous Donglin Hall in the Gu family in Wuxi, Changzhou. Many officials would rather delay government affairs and go there to give lectures. Not to mention the gentry, gentry and sages, many people go there every day!"

"The point is, in such a place, there are quite a few criminal officials going there, such as those who slaughtered scholars, and those who participated in the fraud in the department. It can be seen that the style of study here is probably not correct, and it is having a very bad impact on the atmosphere in the south of the Yangtze River!"

"Officials have even impeached him for misappropriating tax funds for lectures!"

"Since this kind of lecture hall can attract so many officials and gentlemen, and there are some injustices, it can only be taken over by the court!"

"So, send a decree to send a minister to transform Donglin Hall into Donglin Academy. From now on, Jinyi Academy and Xingming Academy will be run by the imperial court together!"

"Before the reformation, we first copied and searched all the books, notes and articles in the academy. If there are any inaccuracies, we will report them all and deal with them!"

"Tell Gu that if he doesn't dedicate Donglin Hall, it can only be regarded as his intention to use Donglin Hall to seek great rebellion, not just as a place for academic study."

At this time, Zhu Yijun talked about education, and expressed his determination not long ago to dispose of Donglin Hall.

Zhu Yijun didn't want to destroy Donglin Hall directly.

Because he knew that if one Donglin Hall was destroyed, there would be another Xilin Hall.

With the development of Ming Dynasty to the present, the class of scholar-bureaucrats has grown stronger and stronger, and the number of literati has increased sharply.

Therefore, there will be more and more people exchanging political, economic, cultural and other resources in the name of various associations and lectures. Those who are keen to set up lecture halls and literary clubs can no longer be stopped by edicts, and even if they are forcibly stopped, they will become It has become a method used by the bureaucrats below to attack political opponents, such as slandering some literati who are dissatisfied with the way they are in power, organized lectures and conspiracy.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun simply decided to use the current influence of Donglin Hall to transform it into a place to spread new rituals and spread new ideas.

While Zhu Yijun chose to do this, the bureaucratic group was still running around because of the imperial court's crackdown on fraud in the examination hall.

no way.

It is difficult for them to accept the model that the imperial examination cannot control for them.

Therefore, Wang Zhiyuan, the former left servant of the household department, directly found Zhang Jingxiu of Jinyiwei, and said to Zhang Jingxiu: "Uncle Gu, they asked me to bring a message to Ti Shuai, and hope that Ti Shuai will be merciful here, and stop investigating the fraud in the examination room. Go on, the Qingliu scholars who died in the hands of Ti Shuai may surpass Ji Gang!"

"This only shows that there are too many Qingliu scholars who cheated."

"I didn't slander anyone like Ji Gang. Everyone who was dealt with has solid evidence."

Zhang Jingxiu said.

"they know!"

"Uncle Gu just wanted to say that as long as Ti Shuai is willing to show mercy, they will make Ti Shuai the most famous person in Shilin. He said that Ti Shuai should also know how beneficial it will be to protect Nursing Lin."

Wang Zhiyuan replied.

"I remember that Uncle Gu didn't even want to pray for my father back then, so why come to beg me today?"

Zhang Jingxiu replied at this time.

Wang Zhiyuan couldn't help but smile awkwardly: "Don't mention what happened back then!"

Zhang Jingxiu said with a smile: "You don't need to mention it, but what I want to say is that since the entire scholarly academy didn't welcome me at the beginning, even if I wanted to join the scholarly academy, I was excluded, so why would you want me to protect you now?"

"What's more, you should understand that my Zhang family is not a family of officials, but an honorable family from Jinyiwei! Your Majesty has appointed a loyal family, so there is no reason for our Zhang family to betray the entire noble family for the sake of the world's officials. ?”

"It can be said that people who live with the country should not only consider the benefits of reputation."

Zhang Jingxiu then spoke again.

Wang Zhiyuan sighed after hearing this, and said: "Forget it, since Ti Shuai is not willing, I will not force it for the officials. It is indeed their own fault that caused the current situation."

Shortly after.

Gu Xiancheng received the message from Wang Zhiyuan's trustee, so he said to Gu Yuncheng in disappointment: "Zhang Jingxiu is not willing to protect the world's officials secretly for the sake of the family of the world's officials. Hope is gone."

Gu Yuncheng said: "If the Son of Heaven doesn't liquidate Zhang Taiyue, there will be many cards to play. This is what you said back then, brother."

"Yes! It was the most surprising thing that he didn't liquidate Zhang Taiyue back then!"

Just as Gu Xiancheng was talking, he saw Gu Xuancheng walking in and said, "It's bad, there's news from Beijing that the imperial court will confiscate the Donglin Party and make it an official academy!"

"what?!"
