Chapter 54: Li Zhen

"Do you know Li Zhen?" Zhu Hou looked at Luo Sigong and asked slowly.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister knows."

Luo Sigong hurriedly said: "Li Zhen, a native of Quanzhou, Fujian. The first surname was Lin, the name was Zaizhen, and later the surname was changed to Li, the name Zhen, the word Hongfu, the number Zhuowu, alias Wenling Jushi, Baiquan Jushi, etc. Jiajing 31 years of people, should be able to test. He was the prefect of Yao'an in Wanli, and he abandoned the official. ”

"Residing in Huang'an and Macheng, when I was lecturing in Macheng, there were thousands of servants, and there were many women among them. In the thirtieth year of Wanli, Zhang Wenda adhered to the consistent will of Shoufu Shen to play the Shenzong and attack Li Zhen. In the end, Li Zhen was arrested in Tongzhou on the charge of 'daring to advocate chaos and confusing the world and slandering the people', and his writings were burned, and Li Zhen committed suicide in prison. ”

Zhu Youxiao looked at Luo Sigong with a thoughtful expression on his face. Is this someone tipping off him? couldn't help but turn his head to look at Chen Hong.

Zhu Youxiao's glance directly scared Chen Hong into peeing.

Chen Hong knelt on the ground with a plop, and said with his head: "Emperor, slaves and maids have not." ”

Just said such a sentence, Chen Hong lay on the ground and never spoke again.

Chen Hong has an understanding of his own emperor. If you defend yourself, you will be taken down. You don't need to say much, just say a word, and then just wait quietly for the emperor's disposal.

At the same time, Chen Hong also complained in his heart, what is this called! Luo Sigong is also harmful, you said you remember what you did so clearly? That Li Zhen has been dead for so many years, why do you still remember him.

"Get up." Zhu Youxiao said expressionlessly: "Shame on you, get out." ”

"Yes, yes." Chen Hong agreed, hurriedly got up from the ground, and then turned around and retreated outside.

When Chen Hong went out, Zhu Youxiao asked, "How did Aiqing know so clearly?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has been studying recently." When Luo Sigong said this, his face was a little embarrassed, for fear that Zhu Youxiao would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained: "The minister wants to know more about Donglin Academy. ”

Zhu Youxiao immediately understood that this was stimulated, and obviously Luo Sigong wanted to show something.

The court has been in an uproar about lectures recently, as for how it made a fuss, it is very simple, Wei Zhongxian has already passed on Zhu Tongmeng's manuscript, and since it has been transmitted, it has naturally caused an uproar.

Luo Sigong was pressed by Wei Zhongxian, he was naturally unconvinced, and it was not a day or two for Jinyiwei and Dongchang to fight for power.

This is the case in history, but in the end, Luo Sigong was defeated and deposed, and Jinyiwei was replaced by Wei Zhongxian's own person, that is, Tian Ergeng.

Now this kind of competition has just begun, and it is obvious that Luo Sigong has also found a little wind direction, that is, the reason why Wei Zhongxian was able to turn over under the impeachment of countless people, and the more he got better, the biggest reason is his Zhu Youxiao's connivance, and the biggest reason is that what Wei Zhongxian did was in line with his own heart.

This is not something difficult to guess, turning his head to see what Wei Zhongxian has done, it is not difficult to guess what he has done to satisfy him.

Luo Sigong obviously thought of this layer, so he pointed the finger at the Donglin Party, so he said that he was studying Donglin Academy.

Zhu Youxiao leaned on the couch and looked at Luo Sigong with a smile: "Aiqing is also honest." ”

"Ministers do not tell lies in front of His Majesty." Luo Sigong hurriedly bowed and said.

Zhu Youxiao said this very simply, that is, Luo Sigong actually dared to say that he was trying to figure out the holy will, you must know that this is a taboo thing. How can the emperor's mind be figured out by you as a courtier?

But Zhu Youxiao didn't care, this is another lip service, that is to say, it can only be talked about, and it cannot be implemented at all.

In this world, there are so many officials in the DPRK and China, who doesn't want to figure out His Majesty's thoughts? Who doesn't want to know what His Majesty thinks? How many people can restrain themselves from thinking?

Of course, there are people who can restrain it, because they don't have to think about it.

The reason is very simple, the emperor must do what they say, otherwise he will be a faint king; It doesn't matter what the emperor thinks, what matters is that the emperor does what they say.

Zhu Youxiao suddenly felt that what they needed was not the emperor, but the god card, as long as the emperor sat there, did not speak, did not move, did not eat, and did not spend money, it would be the best for them.

For example, the Donglin Party, that's what they thought, and then the next second Zhu Youxiao thought of another person, that is, Confucius.

Isn't that how this sage is? Don't speak, don't move, don't eat, let them dress up, so Confucius's status was raised higher and higher, and the Holy Teacher, his descendants, were all canonized as the Holy Prince.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao smiled again, he suddenly felt that things in this world were actually like this, no wonder the emperors were all alone, in fact, they just understood the essence of some things. For example, your queen marrying you may not really like you, and your son being filial to you may be in order to make you die early.

In such a situation, how could the emperor not be a widow? The ministers around him want you to be what he wants, and the eunuchs around him want you to be what he wants, who cares what you really look like?

Looking at Luo Sigong, who was stating, Zhu Youxiao smiled: "I don't hear about it, I just look at it." Since you know Li Zhen, it's good, you go and find someone for me. It is best to be a disciple of Li Zhen and be able to inherit the mantle of Li Zhen. ”

After speaking, the expression on Zhu Youxiao's face became serious, and his voice became low: "Don't show the wind." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that among Li Zhen's students, Wang Keshou can inherit Li Zhen's mantle." Luo Sigong didn't think about it, and said directly.

Wang Keshou is in the same vein?

Zhu Youxiao suddenly became interested, leaned back and said, "Then let's talk about it." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Luo Sigong agreed, and then continued: "Wang Keshou, the word is empty, the number is the peak, and Wang Ge is from Huangmei Mountain, Hubei. Wanli eight years of Jinshi, the first Zhejiang Jinhua Ling, the director of the Xuansheng Rite Department, and then successively served as a member of the Wailang, Langzhong, Jiangxi Ji'an Prefect, Shanxi Tixue Deputy Envoy, Jiangxi Right Participation in Politics, Shandong Bazhou Bingbei Road, Shandong according to the inspection envoy, Shuntian Mansion Yin, Datong Governor, the Ministry of War Lang and other positions, Governor Ji, Liaodong, Baoding and other places. ”

"When Wanli knew Ji'an in the twentieth year, he repaired Bailuzhou Academy; In the 37th year of Wanli, when he served as the political envoy of Shaanxi, he was in Baoqing Temple, and he listened to the lecture, and changed the "Xiaoxiyuan" in the east of the temple to Guanzhong Academy, and gave lectures for Feng Congwu. ”

"After Li Zhen's death, Wang Keshou, as well as Mei Zhangke and Su Shiyu donated silver money for their tree monuments, and Jinjiang Xilun made the Wenling Ancestor Temple, which was quite incense."

Zhu Youxiao listened to Luo Sigong report Wang Keshou's life to him, and his heart suddenly felt a little weird.
