(This chapter is updated late, and it's sad because it's at the end of the chapter.) ）

The court officials looked outside the door of the Xuanzheng Palace, only to see that the person who came was not wearing court clothes, but wearing a moon-white robe, wide-sleeved and wide-sleeved robes.

Wei Changyin!

What is he doing here? And as soon as he came, he refuted Zhu Youluo's words, obviously he supported Gu Chong'an. The Anguo Mansion is the home of the nobles, and they don't know the impact of Gu Chong'an's slack, and the Gu family just digs the foot of the wall, does the Anguo Mansion also want to follow?

The faces of Jiang Qin and other court officials were extremely ugly, and they remembered that although Wei Changyin was not a official, Emperor Chongde attached great importance to him and specially allowed him to stand in the Xuanzheng Palace. However, Wei Changyin basically never appeared, what is he standing here for at this moment?

But when they saw clearly the old man Ge Bu standing next to Wei Changyin, their eyes widened in shock, and they left their doubts about Wei Changyin behind. Now what they want to know more is how this old man could be with Wei Changyin and how could he appear here!

Emperor Chongde, who was sitting high on the Xuanzheng Palace, also squinted his eyes when he saw the old man, he, like the court officials, never expected that this old man would appear here.

However, what made Emperor Chongde even more stunned was that the old man slowly walked to the middle of the Xuanzheng Palace, knelt down respectfully, and said, "Caomin Meng Guitang greets the emperor!" ”

The court officials in the Xuanzheng Hall were suddenly messy, and they watched in disbelief as Meng Guitang knelt down and kowtowed, feeling that there must be something wrong with their eyes. Is this Meng Guitang? Back then, Meng Guitang sneered at Emperor Chongde. Death refuses to kneel! This is really a big hard bone Meng Guitang?!

Whenever there is a change of dynasty, there will always be such people, they are obsessed with the glory of the past, eternally against the new dynasty and the new emperor, and more importantly, these people often have an unshakable status and influence, always stuck in the throat of the new emperor like a hard bone, unable to spit out and swallow.

Meng Guitang is the biggest hard bone in Chongde Nian, and Emperor Chongde has no way to take him so far!

Meng Guitang is a great Confucian. Dading is the first Confucian! The so-called literature is the first, and there is no second. Meng Guitang is known as the first, and his talent surpasses that of other great Confucians, but his virtue is unmatched by Confucianism.

During the time of the first emperor, Dading had a major battle with Dasheng in the west. At that time, the war in Western Xinjiang was full of bones. Meng Guitang called on Confucians to go to Western Xinjiang. With the body of a literati and the power of a sword and pen, he resisted foreign enemies and made great contributions to Dading's defeat of Dasheng!

Later, during the rebellion of the two kings of Taiyuan Mansion, Meng Guitang went to Jinzhou and other places in person. Food, clothing and other urgently needed items were sent to the local people, and hundreds of people were killed.

And his people, who do not worship the official position, are not rewarded, and after the incident, they will settle in the mountains and forests to concentrate on the scriptures. Dading has such a great Confucian, which is the blessing of Dading, but it is not the luck of Emperor Chongde. Because of this, Meng Guitang did not recognize Emperor Chongde as an emperor.

During the rebellion of the two kings, Emperor Chongde killed everyone around the two kings, including many people in Taiyuan Mansion who couldn't help themselves.

When Emperor Chongde ascended the throne, he sent Xu Shan, a scholar of the Chinese book, to his place and invited him to write an edict on the throne. However, Meng Guitang threw the seal book to the ground and said coldly: "If virtue is not worthy of its position, the country will have disaster!" This edict cannot be written by the grass people! ”

He thinks that Emperor Chongde ascended the throne with killing, and the blood was too great, and he was not the lord of the Ming monarch, so he dared to even write the seal, and was disrespectful to such a point.

Meng Guitang is such a person, he does not avoid death and is not afraid of death, such a person, what can Emperor Chongde do with him? Emperor Chongde is not afraid to kill one more person, but killing Meng Guitang is just to fulfill his name, Emperor Chongde is very evil to him, how can he do this?

Fortunately, Meng Guitang did not believe in Emperor Chongde, but he did not make trouble, Emperor Chongde turned a blind eye to him, and if he didn't think about it, he didn't feel anything.

However, now Meng Guitang actually came to the Xuanzheng Palace, and he knelt down, looking respectful. Why is that? Aren't these scholars willing to die rather than give in? Sacrificed for himself?

Emperor Chongde couldn't figure it out, and his face looked unfathomable; The court officials didn't understand either, and were busy picking up their jaws that had fallen to the ground; Even Shen Du was surprised when he saw Meng Guitang.

He went to ask Wei Changyin to help, he thought that Wei Changyin and An Guogong were enough, but he didn't expect Wei Changyin to move out of a more weighty person, and now it is not a matter of enough weight, but it will definitely be very heavy.

The gaze of the prince of Changyin touched Shen Du, and then moved back to Meng Guitang, and then said to Emperor Chongde: "Emperor Qiqi, Mr. Meng has a good word, but he can't enter the palace gate. "-- A grass folk in the parish of Menggui, if it were not for the prince of Changyin, it would never have been possible to appear here in the Xuanzheng Palace.

Even so, if Emperor Chongde investigates it, it is extremely inappropriate for the Prince of Changyin to bring people here. However, there was no way for the Changyin Prince, he waited for Meng Guitang to come at this time. Fortunately, it was in time.

After hearing Shen Du's request, Prince Changyin has been thinking about this matter, whether the opening of the academy can be allowed, and if the academy is opened, what impact will it have on Da Ding. Shen Du said that this matter was "shared by heaven and earth, ghosts and gods", and later Changyin Gongzi also agreed with Shen Du's judgment.

So, he personally went to Yunshan in the eastern suburbs of Jingzhao, went there to find Meng Guitang, and asked him to come forward to ask Emperor Chongde to open a academy, which is why Meng Guitang appeared here.

At this moment, Meng Guitang knelt down on the Xuanzheng Hall and slowly stated: "Your Majesty, the grass people implore the emperor to allow the opening of the academy with a meager body, so that many people can have the opportunity to study and reason. If the academy is opened, the emperor can bring all the talents in the world to the hub, and the grass people are the first and responding...... The talents of the academy are enough to be appointed by the court! ”

Meng Guitang was over the age of sixteen, but his voice was loud and echoed in the Xuanzheng Palace, making Emperor Chongde and the court officials silent.

Meng Guitang is a great Confucian in the world, and has experienced the Western Xinjiang Campaign and the Rebellion of the Two Kings, and his first-hand articles are written superbly, and the words and sentences have the effect of stirring people's hearts. heart yearning", otherwise Emperor Chongde would not want to find him to write an edict on the throne.

This speech also has this effect. After he said this, everyone had a sense of immediacy about the future of prosperity. They saw a picture: if the academy was opened, the people would know the truth and righteousness, and the work of cultural governance would be universalized; If the academy is opened, the talents will be gathered, and the court will get the merit of Wang Zuo; If the academy is opened, the world's books will be preserved, and the legacy will be long-lasting......

All in all. If the college is opened. Then Dading will have a prosperous era of civil rule, and there will be long-term peace and prosperity, which the court officials seem to be able to see.

Even Shen Du, who had already shaken in Chunhui Tower. It was still Meng Guitang's words that stirred up. These words. That's a great point. So...... Hoodwink the public! Shen Du was willing to be so "bewitched", and felt that his father Shen Su didn't need to go to the palace again.

Suddenly, Shen Du felt that his eyes were a little sour. This piece of the hardest bone in Chongde Nian, it turned out to be so soft, because of its own hardness, soft for the people, there must be such a great Confucian, it is the blessing of Dading.

Gu Chong'an, who was in the middle of the hall, showed an excited and ashamed face. He also wants to open a academy, and he also has a start-up performance, but it is far from being as good as Meng Guitang said!

After Meng Guitang said that, he lowered his head and ignored the reactions of the officials of the Xuanzheng Palace. Through the bright stone slab of the Xuanzheng Palace, I remembered the words of the Changyin Prince.

After he refused to come to the court to see Emperor Chongde, Changyin Gongzi was not in a hurry, but just looked at the foot of Yunshan with a long look, sighed, and said: "The Tao pursued by Mr. must be more important than material enjoyment and the continuation of life, so Mr. is not afraid of death, he is guarding the Tao, right?" ”

Before Meng Guitang could answer, the young man of Changyin laughed and continued: "Why is it difficult not to live in an official and not be afraid of death? Boy, am I like that? If you don't live in an official position and don't fear death, what good will it do to the people? What is the use of heaven and earth? What is the point of going to the saints? Is this the way the gentleman kept? It's too shallow! ”

After Changyin Gongzi said this, he drifted down the cloud mountain, like an immortal descending to earth, reflected in Meng Guitang's eyes.

But at that time, Meng Guitang had nothing in his eyes, he felt that he was blind and deaf, if it weren't for the words of the Changyin Prince, he wouldn't know the way he was keeping, it was so shallow! is not an official, not afraid of death, in fact, he is just a pure and simple person, just self-cultivation, which is not beneficial to the people, useless to heaven and earth, and has nothing to do with going to the saints.

It's just self-cultivation, which is too shallow and ridiculous for a great Confucian like him. At that moment, Meng Guitang was suddenly empowered, crying and laughing on top of Yunshan, and finally went down the mountain and followed Changyin Gongzi into the palace.

The silence in the Xuanzheng Hall lasted for a long time. Emperor Chongde was aloft, his expression still unfathomable, and he stared at Meng Guitang, recalling his words over and over again.

The grass people are the first and the ...... The talents of the academy are enough to be appointed by the court...... The meaning of Meng Guitang's words is very clear: the academy of convincing and obedient is established.

No one understood what Emperor Chongde was thinking, he didn't give permission, didn't refuse, didn't react at all, only after confirming that the court officials had nothing to do, he gave an order to Xuansheng's inner servants: Retire from the court!

Retreat!

Emperor Chongde didn't even look at Meng Guitang anymore, and the moment Meng Guitang knelt down, Emperor Chongde felt that this bone had been spit out.

Three days later, Emperor Chongde made a will, which said: "The world is peaceful, the style of writing is increasing, I like to hear, there should be encouragement, so the establishment of the academy is specially approved, so that the people have the basis of learning and reasoning, the world is hidden and virtuous to support, the academy style and teaching, and the loss of the official to learn the Tao is also!" ”

This decree actually allowed the opening of the academy! As soon as this will happen, some people are not in a good mood.

(Extra: After writing this chapter, I am sad, I have always felt that the disappearance of the academy is a great loss for the nation, although the situation is progressing, the disappearance of the academy is inevitable, but I am still sad. But sad, and not only for this, I have always felt that being a simple and happy person is problematic, at least...... It's a big problem for the dynasty. Everyone is simply happy, and who will keep the righteous path and the peace we yearn for? ――Is this hypocrisy? (To be continued......)
