"Yuanfu is saying that Your Majesty wants to restore the system of Taizu?"

Zhang Ruitu was a little surprised.

"Your Majesty's thoughts, how do mortals such as us know, but Your Majesty is merciful, and knocking is only a punishment, so Your Majesty Xu Xiaomin's secret report to the officials is not to restore the ancestral system, but I think there are some supervision officials."

Huang Liji has to be careful.

"What Yuan Fu said is extremely true, Your Majesty is above the punishment, it is indeed more merciful than the emperors of the past dynasties, and the crime of Wei rebellion is only a crime and the adult male of the Wei family, Your Majesty not only did not punish the clan, but also left the Wei family behind, and pardoned his family, such benevolent monarchs are afraid that the Song Dynasty Renzong is also incomparable, with this benevolent monarch, this is our luck, the people's luck, and the Ming Dynasty's luck."

Shi Feng came up and slapped a sycophant, and the other three also nodded yes, but unexpectedly, his words changed and said:

"Your Majesty is indeed a benevolent monarch, but his way of governing the country is not comparable to ordinary benevolent monarchs, Your Majesty has told the world in the name of lazy government and slackness in the name of this knock, which is actually more embarrassing than the bare buttocks outside the gate of Jiajing Chaowu."

When Li Guopu heard this, he was immediately stunned.

"What Brother Yuwang said is very true, Your Majesty has ripped off the pants of these people, and then announced it to the world."

"No, it's not just that I picked up the pants of these people, my generation of scholars often regard themselves as herdsmen and educate the people, but as a result, they are lazy and lazy, and they don't even go to the yamen, which is really insulting to the saint's court, Your Majesty is going to pick up the pants of the scholars."

"This case cannot be opened, and we must ask Your Majesty to retract the order."

Li Guopu has always been radical in considering problems, and as soon as he finished speaking, he wanted to go back and beg Zhu Youzhen to withdraw the holy decree.

"Brother Yuanzhi, don't be impulsive, Your Majesty is a young son of heaven, I'm afraid I'm angry at this time, Yuanzhi doesn't have to ask Your Majesty to take back his life and follow Sejong's example, and he has to fight a few lives to be willing?"

As soon as Huang Liji's words fell, Li Guopu stayed in place in a daze, unable to speak for a long time.

"Although Your Majesty is young, curious and skillful, and sometimes often plays tricks and drops out of the dynasty, but Your Majesty punishes Wei and rebels, except for the Five Tigers, and should knock on the Que, the tricks are surprising, and the tricks are fatal, and now Your Majesty's intelligence is no longer something we can figure out, and Yuan Zhi does not have to blame himself."

Seeing that Li Guopu was a little out of shape, Zhang Ruitu played a round.

"What the chief man said is very true, I heard that when the East Factory exercised the right to supervise today, he confiscated a tael of silver, and he didn't even drink a sip of tea, the eunuch temple does not love money, this is really one of the great wonders of my Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, and His Majesty's skill to control people can be seen."

Shi Fenglai said another sentence without being shocked, and the other three were shocked when they heard it.

Yue Wumu once said: Civil officials do not love money, and military officials do not hesitate to die, then the world is peaceful.

Today's Daming, even eunuchs don't love money anymore, how can the four pavilion elders not be shocked.

In fact, Zhu Youzhen did not consider as much as the four cabinet auxiliary ministers, and the purpose of this edict was mainly two:

The first is to disgust the readers, to be precise, to be disgusting with the Donglin Party.

Don't you Donglin Party members take it as their responsibility to help the world all day long? I don't go to the special yamen, and I still brag about the herdsmen all day long, I have a lot of shit, and I still have the face to educate the people.

Isn't your Donglin Party admired by the people for its morality and integrity? Then I will not beat you on the board, and I will not let you show your integrity.

Don't you talk about morality and integrity all day long? Then I will take a magnifying glass from the moral high ground to find your weaknesses, and then little by little I will tear off your hypocritical cloak and let the people see what kind of goods you are.

Is it as you say, with clean sleeves and for the country and the people, or is it corrupt and hiding dirt?

Giving you the hat of lazy government is just the beginning, the next thing is to rectify the black materials of your Donglin Party, and criticize your Donglin Party step by step.

Engaging in propaganda, creating public opinion, and rectifying criticism, I am professional and serious.

The second purpose of Zhu Youzhen's edict was to enlighten the civic consciousness of the Ming people.

Zhu Youzhen did not expect that with a single edict, he would be able to mobilize the masses to find out corrupt officials and corrupt officials, so as to clarify the rule of officials.

Zhu Youzhen knows the temperament of the people of the Ming Dynasty very well, unless they are forced to have no way to live, they will not sue the officials.

The significance of letting the high-ranking officials accept the supervision of the masses also lies in allowing the people of the Ming Dynasty to change their servile thinking, slowly establish a sense of ownership, and do a good job in the people's mental construction for Zhu Youzhen's future reforms.

Of course, Zhu Youzhen's plan in this knocking incident has far exceeded the cognition of the four feudal bureaucrats.

They can only get a glimpse of one thing, but they don't know the other.

The four members of the cabinet sighed as they walked, and soon came to the gate of the emperor, but they saw those officials who were knocking on the gate to taste tea, eat dim sum, eat dim sum, and look at the sick, how can there be a little knock.

The few officials knelt there, but they were also dejected, silent, and completely unaware that they had entered the emperor's urn.

When Li Guopu saw the leading backbone of the Donglin Party, he was angry, took out the wat board from his sleeve and threw it over.

The man was in surprise, and he was hit by a wat board on his head, and was about to get up to theorize, when he was kicked to the ground by Li Guopu, and then he was beaten on his head and face.

"I'll let you knock, I'll let you knock, I'll let you knock."

Li Guopu scolded and scolded, rolled up his sleeves and swung his fist at the man.

The man was beaten with his head covered before he saw the person coming, and when he was about to fight back, he saw that it was Li Gelao, and his momentum suddenly wilted, and he just held his head to dodge.

"Mr. is angry, Mr. is angry, the disciple doesn't know what he did wrong? What did the disciple do wrong? ”

This person is the Jinshi of the year when Li Guopu served as the chief examiner of the examination, and according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty scholars, he is naturally Li Guopu's protégé.

The teacher beats the apprentice, it is a matter of course, naturally no one dares to go up to stop it, and the Jinyi guards on the side are also happy to see the jokes, they have already seen a lot of jokes in the morning.

At this time, the officials who were knocking together next to them were also stunned, and they didn't know where this old Li Ge was singing, and they all stood on the side, not daring to persuade each other.

"The faces of the scholars have been disgraced by you, and you still have the face to ask what you did wrong, and today I will tell you what you did wrong."

Li Guopu snatched the holy decree in Huang Liji's hand, and then read it out loud.

When the penalty was mentioned for half a year, everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

But then when he read that 'the list of 43 people will be announced, Zhang will be published all over the capital, and the report will be made public, and the world will be known', one by one, their faces turned pale, and their psychological quality was poor, and they suddenly fell to the ground, among which was Li Guopu's protégé.

"And you, one by one, are not good at going to the government, inheriting the grace of the Son of Heaven, and doing your duty for the people, but you want to come here to knock on the que, is this que so easy to knock? You, you, hey, the faces of the scholars in the world have been disgraced by you. ”

Li Guopu closed the holy decree, pointed his finger at the officials who knocked on the que, and scolded again, scolding and scolding, and his tears fell first.

"Wait for you to go back to the Yaya, don't be embarrassed here, Your Majesty is merciful, you are not held accountable this time, you must be brave after being ashamed, and work hard after you go back to repay the emperor's kindness."

The other three pavilion elders saw that Li Guopu was really angry, so they also stepped forward to scold those officials who knocked on the que.

"Don't leave quickly, go back and reflect on it, think more about the teachings of the saints, and don't be used by those who have a heart in the future."

The elders said as they made a gesture to drive away the officials.

The officials knew that they had caused a big disaster this time, and they all regretted it, lowered their heads, and walked out of the noon gate blankly.

The last vigorous knocking of the Ming Dynasty ended in the form of a farce.
