Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

Emperor Hongzhi finished speaking and sat down again.

Looking around, he said: "In this case, read out all the candidates' policy topics for public evaluation, but you have to read them quickly. After reading quickly, pass the test papers on for all the ministers to read. Look, there's nothing wrong with that."

Xiao Jing bowed: "The servant obeys the order."

This time Yang Tinghe was going all out.

Now he wants to be a direct minister, since his own image is no longer able to maintain a clean and decent face, and then he plans to have a great future in the future.

So simply, break the jar and smash it, and be a stubborn rebel.

So far, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian have turned a blind eye to the stern gazes cast by Li Dongyang and Xie Qian, as if these have nothing to do with each other.

Xiao Jing took the first test paper and began to recite it.

This is written by an examinee named Liu Rang, and it uses an ordinary routine: "I asked in the past that in Tang and Yu, the people would not offend people through portraits, and there were Yao and Shun, who built rivers and waters to please the people, so the people's hearts went up to three thousand years. , everyone calls him a great sage, and now His Majesty is asking the people's opinions, which is exactly in line with the way of Confucius and Mencius, the people are the foundation of the country..."

Xiao Jing read aloud, and everyone fell asleep after hearing it.

It’s not that this article is not good, you can see people’s citations are very accurate, who is the most popular, people who are too close are not good, such as Emperor Taizu Gao, such as Emperor Wen, the suspicion of flattery is too obvious, Gong Sheng What is it, it is Qingliu, how can you be so flattering.

But the emperors of all dynasties are not good. You praise Taizong of Tang Dynasty and Taizu of Song Dynasty. What do you mean? Didn’t Ming Dynasty have a Mingjun who was loved by the people?

Therefore, it is necessary to ponder the citation of scriptures. Liu Rang is very professional. He singled out Tang Yu, Yao and Shun. God knows. But at least, Confucius respected them very much and considered them a model of benevolent kings.

Therefore, if you want to win the hearts and minds of the people, you can single them out and publicize their achievements and benevolent governance.

After all, it is impossible for the Son of Heaven to be jealous of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors.

Many people nodded one after another. This strategy is quite rigorous. Yes, it seems that this Liu Rang still has some skills.

Many of these views can be described as mature and prudent.

Next, there was a Gongsheng named Zhu Tao, Xiao Jing said: "In the time of Yao and Shun, the world was in great order, but the people..."

Well, it’s Yao and Shun again...

Obviously, Zhu Tao is also very professional...

Afterwards, there was a tribute student named Liu Sheng. Xiao Jing read: "The saint said: Emperor Yao and Shun hang down their clothes to rule the world, and cover all heaven and earth. Therefore, the saint respects ritual, and those who are ritual are superior and inferior, and the people of the world..."

Or Yao and Shun.

The composition at this time pays attention to citing scriptures and allusions, and starts with citing scriptures and allusions to enter the article.

And when it comes to being close to the people and loving the people, it is wrong for him to write to the emperor, and it is also wrong to say it to the emperor. If Yao and Shun are not relevant, who else can he turn to?

But... everyone is used to this style of writing. It didn't feel like anything out of the ordinary.

Just feel a little bored.

Read out these theories one by one.

When the tribute students of Xishan came, the style of writing changed. These people are indeed small experts in formulating strategies and theories.

only……

"The common people are my food and clothing, my parents. Food and clothing belong to my ministers, and the foundation of my life is the same with the common people. I heard that the Xishan Township State Mansion, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is recruiting refugees..."

This one is more ruthless, and Yao and Shun are not mentioned, but the prince is used as an example.

All of a sudden, all the officials in the palace were in an uproar.

What do you mean?

His Royal Highness, the crown prince, has become a model of being close to the people. Can he be compared with Yao and Shun when he is the crown prince? It is simply a joke.

Liu Jie and the others were immediately looked at by countless mocking eyes. Was it taught by His Highness the Crown Prince to make such a strategy?

Even Li Dongyang and Xie Qian frowned slightly, feeling a little too much.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince usually doesn't make trouble, but now he has become the same name as Yao and Shun in the eyes of these Xishan tribute students, and he has become a person who makes the people of the world feel happy and submit.

It's outrageous.

Emperor Hongzhi's face was a little stiff, and he never expected this.

In this policy theory, they are all preaching that their new learning is simple and empathetic, and they use the prince as a model. Isn't this a joke?

In fact, the articles written by these fifteen people are very good. After all the questions for so many days, the biggest mistake is that the quotations from the classics are controversial.

Yang Tinghe was a little worried at first, but when he saw this, he felt relieved: "Your Majesty, all the students of Xishan Academy, does this mean that Yao and Shun are not as good as the crown prince?"

Emperor Hongzhi sat still, his heart was very complicated, but he didn't make a sound.

Liu Jie calmly said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I dare not compare His Royal Highness to Yao and Shun, but Yao and Shun are too old. I have read all the ancient books in the world. As for Yao and Shun's deeds, they are only limited to controlling rivers and roads and not picking up relics. Since the sages say, Yao and Shun are sages." , then Yao and Shun are naturally saints. Yao and Shun three thousand years ago can answer today's policy theory, but the minister thinks that the time limit is not enough. In today's world, people are still talking about it. Everyone is Yao and Shun, but Yao and Shun have been ruling the world for a long time.

Fa, who knows? His Majesty asked policy ministers, etc., the original intention was how to make the world safe and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. Therefore, the minister thought that His Royal Highness set up a town government, built academies, opened coal mines, cultivated new seedlings, and fought against Japanese pirates. Adapt to my Ming Dynasty's policy of peace and prosperity for the people. That being the case, why can't I use the prince as an example? Could it be that in policy theory, only Yao and Shun are allowed? Even the sages said that if three people walk together, there must be my teacher. The benevolent, righteous and wise people in the world are not just Yao and Shun. But when the minister promoted the prince, he was ridiculed that Yao and Shun were not as good as the prince. Your Majesty, is this Yang Xueshi a saint? Whose classics do you need to nod? "

These words are really bold to the extreme.

But... there is some truth.

Who would have expected that a policy discussion would directly expose the fundamental problems of New Learning and Neo-Confucianism.

Many Hanlin seemed a little disdainful.

This is not a question of whether the prince can give an example, but to compare the prince with Yao and Shun, which is clearly suspected of slander and flattery.

Many people are eager to refute Liu Jie.

Liu Jie was very calm. After all, he was a student of Professor Wang Shouren. In fact, he hesitated before writing. After all, His Royal Highness and Professor Shigong did not ask them to mention this when they were doing their own palace exams.

But once they solved the problem, the great truth that the mentor told them rushed into their hearts in an instant, and Liu Jie... couldn't help it, so he started to write.

It's not just him.

It took a lot of courage for these fifteen Gong students to learn from Wang Shouren under the criticism of countless people. If they didn't have enough courage, they would have been sprayed to death with spitting foam.

Now, after persevering until now, the master and benefactor gave themselves the opportunity to be named on the gold list, which made them even more admire the master and benefactor to the point of surrender.

The essence of bragging about the prince is bragging about Xishan, the master, and new learning.

Fifteen people, unanimously, made a choice.

That's the position, there's nothing else to say.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned, and said: "Everyone has different ideas when citing scriptures and classics. This is not surprising. In my opinion, it is better to judge the length of the article by the quality of the article."

As soon as Emperor Hongzhi said it, the Imperial Academy immediately exploded.

What does His Majesty mean by this? This is helping relatives and not helping relatives.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is your son, so you can cover up their admiration of the Crown Prince as a holy king, but this... is a mistake in principle. Based on this alone, these flattering Gongsheng should be dismissed.

Someone said: "Your Majesty, I don't think so. Quoting scriptures and classics must be appropriate. If you quote casually, the words do not express the meaning, and the words are exaggerated. Is this still an article, is it a theory?"

Another person said: "The crown prince is the prince of this dynasty. I dare not slander, but I have the courage to say that Yao and Shun, the three emperors and five emperors, are actually compared with the current crown prince. This... I think that Liu Jie and others are harming the crown prince." Ah, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still young, so he said that he won the hearts of the people, and he was popular in Xishan, and I thought... this is very inappropriate."

Emperor Hongzhi had a headache.

Looking at the clear streams one by one, it seems like a frying pan has been fried.

At this time, it was already late at night.

Emperor Hongzhi quickly said: "What Qing and others said is reasonable. We will discuss this matter tomorrow."

He got up and left.

At this time, it is obviously unwise to stay here.

I knew that Liu Jie and others were so fanatical. In their eyes, the prince has become a holy king. Emperor Hongzhi would never be beaten to death, and let his courtiers judge these policies in public.

But who would have thought that people like Liu Jie are so confident.

Behind Emperor Hongzhi, there was still a distressed voice: "Your Majesty, when Yao and Shun were here, the people all fell in love with each other, and everyone rejoiced that they could become the people under Yao and Shun's rule. The current crown prince..."

Emperor Hongzhi ignored them, and returned to the Nuan Pavilion angrily.

sit down.

Even he felt that Liu Jie and others' flattery were too much.

What can the prince He De do?

But... Emperor Hongzhi had a thought and fell into deep thought. Just now... he saw the expressions of Liu Jie and others.

Behind that expression is piety.

It is a belief that is like steel.

These scholars really think that... the crown prince is a holy king, someone who became a holy king like Yao and Shun?

Thinking of this, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but gasp.

What ecstasy soup did the crown prince feed them, or, Fang Jifan and Wang Shouren, what did their new knowledge teach them, so that they were so resolute and unwaveringly believed that they were right—— The prince is the sage.

Emperor Hongzhi's heart unexpectedly warmed up. Isn't this... just what he wanted?

He said, "Xiao Banban."

"The servant is here."
