Chapter 51: The Deposition of the Four Books and the Five Classics
"It's okay, just the Kong family, what's the matter? I still don't believe it, without the Kong family, wouldn't anyone want to be an official?" Feng Ye said very stiffly, of course, he also had the confidence to say this.
Even if those Confucian scholars really didn't want to be officials for the sake of the Kong family, then he would release the three thousand Youyun Iron Horsemen to be officials. Anyway, now that he has 100,000 guards by his side as escorts, he won't need his 3,000 Youyun Iron Cavalry to fight. Now that the reunification of the whole country is imminent, it is always necessary to give the soldiers below a chance to make meritorious contributions.
The order to raid the Confucian family soon spread to Qufu. Naturally, the local officials did not dare to do it, and these literati were afraid that once they did it to the Confucian family, they would have a bad reputation in the future, and they were even more worried about the small shoes from Shangguan. Who knows if the officials above have followers of the Confucian family. There are still many people who consider themselves disciples of Confucius.
The local officials did not dare to do anything, and even secretly passed on the news, but the local garrison did not care what the Confucian scholars thought, they only knew that His Majesty the Emperor had given them the land so that they could be fed and clothed. Anyone who dares to disobey the orders of His Majesty the Emperor is their enemy.
What's more, the soldiers are all from the local poor, and the Kong family has done a lot of bullying men and women in the local area, they are the local emperors, but no one has dared to take care of them all along. Now that His Majesty the Emperor has ordered the raid of the Confucian family, is there still revenge and grievances?
The Kong family has always been a moth lying on the country to suck blood, and it is a moth that has been sucking for thousands of years. For these guys who are not diligent and do not divide grains, it is necessary to let them accept the re-education of poor and middle peasants. Feng Ye didn't have the slightest politeness to them, and was directly sent to Liaodong to farm.
Those officials who not only did not do anything, but secretly reported the news, had nothing to hide in the eyes of the supervising guards, and were placed on Feng Ye's desk early the next morning. There are also those officials who intercede for the Kong family, and Feng Ye is not soft at all.
Since they are willing to do things for the Kong family, they simply accompany their whole family to Liaodong with the Kong family. If they are willing to serve, they can also continue to serve the Kong family in Liaodong. It just so happens that today's Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated, and the land is fertile, and it needs manpower to develop. It can be regarded as letting these moths make some contribution to the country.
In this era, the Confucian family is really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, no wonder all dynasties have to give them special treatment. It's not unreasonable, they can still scare a lot of stupid people who read and read.
Many Confucian scholars were really willing to follow the Confucian family to Liaodong to farm in order to invite fame. They feel that the Kong family, as a saint family, will rise sooner or later, and at that time, they will naturally be able to follow the soaring prosperity, and by the way, they will have a good reputation in Shilin, and maybe they will be famous for eternity in the future.
Since these people are willing to accompany the Kong family to receive re-education from the poor middle peasants and actively develop Liaodong, Feng Ye will certainly not stop them. Anyone who is willing to follow the Confucian family will all copy their homes. The confiscated fields were distributed to the soldiers.
"That barbarian, faint king, etiquette is broken. The Confucian scholars cursed one after another, after all, the original countless privileges and preferential treatment are now gone, which makes these people very uncomfortable.
These people with vested interests are all big local families, and they are all big families. It's okay for these Confucian scholars to fight with their mouths, but if they really want to let them move seriously, let them risk the destruction of their families and their lives to confront the Jin Dynasty, they really don't have the guts.
No matter what these Confucian scholars think, anyway, there is now a large-scale expansion of the supervision guard, which has exceeded 50,000 people, and there are eyes and ears of the supervision guard all over the country. Any bit of wind and grass can't escape the supervision of the Phantom Demon Lord Qiao Daoqing. Including the civil and military officials of the court.
After all, Qiao Daoqing's nickname of the Illusion Demon Lord is not called in vain, the Taoism is profound, and he is proficient in illusion, so he can easily find out the secrets of these officials.
Feng Ye's raid on the Kong family really angered many people, and there were faint signs of instability in various places. However, Feng Ye didn't care, it just so happened that he still lacked an excuse to fight local tyrants and divide the land. These people are willing to send the handle, and he can't wait for it.
In the face of a powerful army, all the intrigues and tricks are nothing more than petty tricks that cannot be put on the table. No matter how much you are unconvinced, you can only hold back. Death to those who disobey!
The current Feng Ye is different from before, before he only had three thousand Youyun Iron Horsemen, and he really couldn't do it if he wanted to subdue the whole country, after all, the country was too big, and he lacked skills.
But now, he can return to the Demon God Federation at any time, which means that he can bring back a steady stream of low-level cyborgs at any time.
Anyway, he has money now, and the intelligence of low-level creatures is cheap, so he is so arrogant! In this kind of low-level world, he has the confidence to suppress all disobedience.
Under the system of Gou Song, he paid attention to ruling the world with scholars. Those scholars and doctors had great power, and from the day of the middle lift, they could spray the emperor and suppress the people. Unscrupulous, Gou Song will not kill the doctor anyway. No matter how big a mistake is made, at most it will be sent to a remote area as an official.
This has cultivated the arrogance of those Confucian scholars, all of them are inferior, only the reading is high, which came out of this era, in their eyes, except for those who are officials, any other profession is a cheap industry, a pariah.
As a result, now that the Jin Dynasty has entered the Central Plains, these Confucian scholars originally thought that it was just a change of emperor, and the others should be the same, after all, no matter who is in power, they all need their Confucian students to help govern the world.
They are all used to being given by Gou Song, and the habits they have developed over the years make them not know how many catties they have at all. Officials from many places joined together and wrote together to ask for the death of the Confucian family, accompanied by a resignation.
The meaning is very obvious, just to let Feng Ye see that their Confucianism is not so easy to bully. The Confucian family is the signboard of Confucianism, and now that Feng Ye wants to break this signboard, they have to let Feng Ye see who else will govern this country without them.
If you want to say who is the most worried about this matter, it must be Zhu Wu, the prime minister of the Jin State, this Shenji military master is responsible for Feng Ye, the emperor, to govern the country well, and he has to face the surging subordinate officials.
The officials didn't dare to say anything more to Feng Ye, the emperor, but they inevitably complained about him, the prime minister.
There is a shortage of subordinates, such a big country, there are mountains of things every day, but there is such a thing, so that many officials either took the initiative to resign, or were put in prison by Feng Ye, and there are fewer people to work, so it is natural to be more busy.
Although Zhu Wu also studied Confucianism, he knew very well that his ass should sit there. At the beginning, he was forced to fall into the grass by corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and he didn't see the Kong family help him say a word. Zhu Wu is very clear about right and wrong. Because of this, he was caught between the emperor and his subordinates.
On the Jinluan Palace, Feng Ye couldn't help but be happy when he saw the mountains of twists and turns in the middle of the main hall, as well as Zhu Wu's face full of sorrow. smiled and said to the civil and military officials below: "The first emperor can burn books and pit Confucianism, could it be that these people think that I don't dare?"
"Spread the decree to supervise the guards, and the officials who signed these folds, one of them was counted as one, all of them were raided, and the whole family was assigned to Liaodong to accompany the Kong family. Feng Ye's words decided the fate of many people.
"Your Majesty, think twice, now the imperial court is already insufficient, and now that these officials from all over the country are arrested, the imperial court will not be able to function!" Zhu Wu hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him. As the prime minister, he had to come forward at the moment, not for the fools who threatened Feng Ye, but just for the sake of not having problems with the government.
Feng Ye said happily: "It's okay, the three thousand Youyun Iron Riders around me are all literate scholars, and after a while, you just have to transfer people, where there is a shortage of people, you can directly use the Youyun Iron Cavalry to make up for it." These people followed us to fight in the south and the north, and each one of them made great contributions, and with their merits, no matter how big an official position they were, they could sit on it. ”
No one in the Manchu Dynasty thought that Feng Ye would still have this kind of operation, and the unsolvable problem was solved by Feng Ye so lightly.
A hint of fierceness flashed in Feng Ye's eyes, since Confucianism had already made a move against him, then of course he had to return the color. He is not the character who is afraid to fight back after being beaten.
From now on, the imperial examination will no longer test the four books and five classics, and in the future, the imperial examination will be based on the April Civil Decree, Qi Min's Technique and other classics, mainly to test agriculture, as well as arithmetic. and the Law. Feng Ye's words can be regarded as setting off an uproar.
In Feng Ye's eyes, which of these classics is not better than the Four Books and Five Classics? In addition to teaching people a bunch of false and empty truths, the Four Books and Five Classics have no use. If it had been useful, it wouldn't have been banned in the future.
All the ministers in the court understood that Feng Ye had completely dug up the foundation of Confucianism. Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism. This is the first time that an emperor has been so vocal as Confucianism.
Although among the remaining scholars, they are also people from Confucianism, but these people are all people who are proficient in the essence of Confucianism, that is, those who know the times are junjie. Those Confucian diehards all took the initiative to jump out and be cleaned up by Feng Ye when Feng Ye cleaned up the Kong family for the first time.
The officials originally connected in series, just to let Feng Ye, the emperor, see their strength. I just wanted to threaten it, but I didn't really want to resign at all.
But he didn't expect Feng Ye to ignore them at all, not only did he raid the Kong family, but in the face of their threat, even the content of the scientific examination was changed. even directly used force to send all of them to Liaodong to farm with the Kong family.
For these officials, it was simply a bolt from the blue! Many people did not attach so much importance to the Confucian family, but they could not hinder the human relationship, and the bowels of the officials who played together were blue.
It's just that at this time, even if they regret it, it's too late. There is no regret in this world. It is obviously not okay to hate the emperor, the emperor is too high, and in the end, these people can only turn the object of resentment into the Kong family.
It's all these people, as descendants of saints, but they don't respect the law of etiquette, do evil, provoke the disgust of the emperor, and finally drag everyone down, it's simply harmful.
