Zhou Yanru didn't meet Erzhang, and shirked it to Qian Qianyi.

In the cabinet compound, Qian Qianyi has been dealing with Erzhang with a stiff smile, what else can he say at first, but when he gets to the back, he really has no words.

Where did Erzhang stop, asking Qian Qianyi to urge the imperial court to immediately stop arresting people, and release people, and there must be no similar actions!

In Zhou Yanru's room, Liu Zongzhou sat with him, unprecedentedly solemn.

Liu Zongzhou said: "Yuan Fu, the officials are already suspicious under the reform of the law, is this the beginning?" Beginning with the slaughter of the corporals of the world? ”

Others Zhou Yanru can ignore it, this is not only a servant of the Criminal Department, but also a Confucian master, and he can't wipe off his face.

Zhou Yanru looked at Liu Zongzhou, his face was square, and his voice said decisively: "The world is shaking, and the people's minds are changing, this is the trend of the times!" Anyone who wants to become a stumbling block to my Zhongxing Daming, let alone conquer Xibo, is an official, and it will never be allowed! ”

Liu Zongzhou's expression was indifferent and firm, and he said: "If the imperial court wants to burn books again, then take me as the first!" If Yuanfu is ruthless, I Liu Zongzhou will go out and die in front of the noon gate Dengwen Drum, fulfilling Yuanfu's wish of Zhongxing Daming! ”

Zhou Yanru saw Liu Zongzhou's resolute attitude, his expression slowly relaxed, sighed lightly, and said, "I hope you don't be impulsive, and I don't mean to kill so many people." First, they are involved in the reverse case, and they must always be investigated. Second, what kind of system is it that they are making a fuss, what kind of system is Nanjing's blatant confrontation with Beijing? Don't worry, I'll persuade the conscript, no matter what, I won't let him really pick up the butcher's knife......"

Liu Zongzhou suddenly got up and said: "Xiaguan and other Yuanfu, the attitude of the imperial court, if the imperial court really wants to open the door of killing, I, Liu Zongzhou, am willing to be the first!" ”

After speaking, Liu Zongzhou turned around and strode away.

The back is as straight as a mountain, sonorous.

Fan Wenjing then came in, looking worried, and said, "My lord, I'm afraid that our Sect Master Liu is the second to be Fang Xiaoru." ”

Fang Xiaoru was too out, Taizong Emperor Zhu Di launched the Battle of Jingyan and seized the Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen's country, Zhu Di wanted a legitimacy, and hoped that the Confucian master Fang Xiaoru would write an edict for him to win people's hearts.

Fang Xiaoru refused to give in, and wrote the four big characters of 'King Yan usurped the throne', and was finally punished by Zhu Di for the 'Ten Clans', which has never been seen in ancient and modern times!

Zhou Yanru didn't have any worry on his face, and said, "What are you busy with?" ”

Fan Wenjing said: "Zheng Xibo went to the Hanlin Academy, and it is said that the Da Ming Law has almost been perfected, and he is preparing to draft a complete book of 'Da Ming Ritual Law'. ”

In today's world, etiquette is greater than the law, if Zhou Zheng wants to cultivate the law of etiquette, it is more important than the law!

Zhou Yanru frowned, and said lightly: "You are staring at Liu Zongzhou, Qian Qianyi and those people in the Restoration Society, if there is any movement, tell me immediately." ”

Fan Wenjing looked at Zhou Yanru's expression, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Yuan Fu wants to watch from the wall and watch Liu Zongzhou and others attack Xibo?" ”

Zhou Yanru took a sip of tea and said expressionlessly: "They are fighting, what do they have to do with me?" ”

Fan Wenjing smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, you are the first assistant, what is really going to happen to the imperial court, everyone in the world is looking at you, Zheng Xibo has been wandering outside the imperial court on the surface?" Even if you don't say this, if something really happens, Zheng Xibo throws you out, can you resist? ”

Zhou Yanru was quite happy in his heart, but listening to Fan Wenjing's words, his expression changed greatly, and he quickly stood up and said urgently: "Quick, go find Zhang Sizhi and ask him to send someone to watch Liu Zongzhou, as well as Qian Qianyi and others, if there is any trouble, I will ask him!" ”

Fan Wenjing responded and hurriedly turned around and went out.

Zhang Sizhi is the secretary of the Criminal Department, and when he heard Fan Wenjing's relay, Liu Zongzhou's words in front of Zhou Yanru were so frightened that he was covered in a cold sweat, and directly asked Liu Zongzhou to be tied up, and someone was specially sent to stare at him.

At this time, Zhou Zheng and Zhou Fang, Sun Chuanting, Gao Hongtu, Zhang Heyi and others were strolling in the Hanlin Courtyard, watching and talking.

Zhang Heyi shook his head and said: "This group of people, I don't know when I want to make trouble, can't I be pragmatic, take a look at it seriously, and concentrate on doing things?" ”

Gao Hongtu was beside him and said, "From a certain point of view, what they said and did is not wrong. We are now regarded as a party struggle, and the party is the same as the other. ”

Zhou Fang snorted coldly and said, "If this is not the case, let them all be in the right dynasty, not to mention changing the law?" Can we still have a way to live? If the Ming Dynasty continues like this, sooner or later they will be destroyed! ”

Gao Hongtu seemed to know that what he said was a little too much, thought about it carefully, and said: "After all, it is because of the different positions, they are on the wrong team." ”

Zhou Zheng, who was walking in front, suddenly looked back at Gao Hongtu.

Gao Hongtu's expression tightened slightly, and he raised his hand and said, "My lord, the lower official is telling the truth." ”

Zhou Zheng smiled, stopped, looked at a few people and said, "What you said is indeed the truth, there is nothing wrong, there is no need to be nervous." Change, change and innovation. Changing the law and changing the law is illegal in itself, and if it is not illegal, how can the law be changed? Any change in the law begins with breaking the law, and this has been the case since ancient times. Gao Shangshu, you still read it more thoroughly. ”

Gao Hongtu raised his hand and said, "The lower officials don't dare." ”

Zhou Zheng waved his hand, looked at a few people, pondered for a moment, and said: "The change of the law starts from breaking the law, this point, we must be clear, since it is illegal, it will inevitably cause a backlash, attack, most of the changes in history have been blocked, some have failed, some have been settled after the autumn, and the end is not good." We have taken these people today, and when the day comes, they may not be the ones who have taken us. Today they have resentment, and when it comes to us, there is no need to have it, today the cause, the other day's effect, we can know our cause, but they may not know their cause, so they are resentful, so we are more sober than them. ”

Zhou Fang, Sun Chuanting and others listened to Zhou Zheng's words with thoughtful expressions.

Zhou Zheng paused for a moment and continued: "Innovation, in a small way, is the law of one family, and the rule of one store; Big, the government of a province, the government of a country, and even a change of dynasty! What are we reforming in the law, in the law of rituals? Is it a big policy, a small policy? In the final analysis, what we need to reform is people's hearts and minds! A group of people with ideas will continue to join in with the same ideas, and the scale will grow larger and larger, sweeping those backward and rotten into the dust. The strength and weakness of a country all begin to change from people's hearts. Rich for no more than three generations, small ordinary rich people, hit a country, this law has never changed, why? As soon as people's hearts change, no matter how rich the land, no matter how good the policy, no matter how sharp the blade, they can't stop the decay......"

Zhou Zheng rarely said so much, Zhou Fang, Sun Chuanting and others couldn't help but listen carefully and think.

Zhou Zheng waited for them to digest for a while, and said: "We are looking for our like-minded allies to promote our cause and complete the great cause of Zhongxing of the Ming Dynasty!" We are a collective with lofty goals, seeking truth from facts, being pragmatic and willing to work, and having the courage to move forward. ”
