The expressions of the people changed, and their hearts were uncomfortable.

At the same time, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the emperor said so much, this is an 'explanation' to the world, a concession, a gesture of goodwill, and it also means that the emperor and the imperial court's suppression of Shilin has ended.

Zhu Xu's eyes were fixed on this group of people, and looking at their expressions, he knew that his words had worked.

His gaze turned to Fang Kongzhi, and said lightly: "Regarding the harm and nature of 'party strife', Nan Zhili doesn't know enough, you, the governor, have just taken office, I won't trouble you, if in half a month, there are still so many people who want to overturn the case for the Donglin Party, then don't blame me for beating you!" ”

Fang Kongzhi's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly got up and said, "The minister is guilty!" ”

Zhu Xu waved his hand, but this was not enough, what he wanted to say was about a series of things since he ascended the throne, which was the first time to seriously sort out and solve everyone's ideological baggage.

"In order to settle the partisan dispute,"

Zhu Xu moved his butt and continued: "I have no choice but to suspend the cabinet and concentrate power in the six ministries. At that time, the Jiannu people were arrogant and arrogant, and they were encroaching on the important towns of Liaodong step by step, but in Liaodong, the army's morale was weak, the military salary, and the food and salary were extremely scarce, and the soldiers had no fighting spirit and retreated. For the sake of the border pass, I made two preparations, on the one hand, to collect military power, vigorously reform the military system, and on the other hand, in order to raise military salaries, a series of important imperial court taxes such as salt administration were collected by the imperial court, which naturally angered a group of people, but I had to ......"

"But that's not enough, it's still not enough for me to put all the money in it...... The clan, the nobles and so on occupy most of the imperial court tax revenue every year, at that time King Rui, King Gui and others want to be a vassal, according to the patriarchal law, their fief is 40,000 hectares, the other 7788 to a million taels of silver, a year's treasury tax is not enough...... I can't do anything but change the ancestral system! ”

"Seeing internal and external troubles, and civil unrest everywhere, I have the heart to rise up, but the court Donglin is blocked, and the local officials are disobedient, and my edict is like waste paper when it comes out of the palace, especially when the Donglin Party engages in a hundred officials to boycott the dynasty, which forces me to make up my mind to reform the political system......"

"However, these are far from water can not quench the thirst of the near, I have tried my best to raise silver and grain everywhere, but I can't fill the government and government, especially the bottomless pit in Liaodong......"

"This is the origin of the 'Hui Zitou' Chamber of Commerce, I have people set up a number of chambers of commerce, and I still don't know how many people ridicule it as the 'Copper Smell Emperor'......"

The group of people below unconsciously bowed again, they had the impression of the emperor who was high above and called for wind and rain, it turned out that he was living such a day, so difficult, and at the same time, many people were born with admiration, how many people can do this? Even if it is Taizu, Taizong is afraid that he will not be able to deal with the clan so ruthlessly at this time, right?

Cao Wenzhao, Cao Huachun and others were expressionless, and they all understood in their hearts how much the young emperor had paid for the country.

Zhu Xu picked up the tea and took a sip gently, which can be regarded as washing himself by the way.

He is the emperor, and that's all he can do, and the next thing is the big stick!

Zhu Xu gently shook the folding fan again, and said: "These are all nonsense, if you don't like it, you don't hear it, and then, I will talk about how I feel in Nanzhili in the past few days." ”

Here it comes!

Everyone's hearts jumped fiercely, no matter what the emperor said, they still had to do it in the end!

Zhu Xu leaned on the chair, knocked on the table with a fan, and said, "First stop, I went to Yang. state, transferred a few academies...... The current academy is very strange, individual students have some different ideas, different opinions, others are called 'evil', isolated, beaten, and even sent to the official, now whether it is a student or an official, as long as they deal with others, they use the word 'evil', which is really unpleasant......"

Zhu Xu's tone slowly became stern, and said, "The sage educates people, do you want your disciples to memorize the classics?" Why can't students ask more why? Why can't we think differently? Is this the teaching of the saints? Or is it that the current academy also wants to engage in 'party strife', and all those of a certain school, except for this school, are 'heretics', and all of them should be sentenced to death? Another 'book burning pit Confucian'? ”

Everyone here bowed their heads slightly, the academy has been four or five years, but the Shilin class has been silently resisting, and there are many suppressions on the students in the academy, which is an indisputable fact.

The corners of Zhu Xu's eyes jumped, and he snorted coldly, and said: "The students of the academy, you can't learn from Zhu Cheng here, Yangming from that, Confucius from this, Mencius from that, our students must gather the strengths of a hundred schools of thought to corrupt and preserve the Qing, it is not this school that suppresses that school, you must make a fuss!" I have a great deal of wisdom in dealing with Confucianism in various places, and we must not 'respect one alone and depose the rest', but must contend, learn from each other's strengths, and temper each other'......"

"Also, don't always open your mouth to Confucius and close your mouth Mencius, that is a sage a thousand years ago, why can't our current people work hard to leave a few classics for future generations, is it to be another thousand years of future generations, and still hold the classics of the ancestors three thousand years ago, you don't feel ashamed, I am still panicking!"

Everyone suddenly felt a little strange in their hearts, frowning secretly, always feeling that something was wrong, but there seemed to be no problem when they thought about it carefully.

Zhu Xu didn't give these people a chance to react, turned his head to look at Xu Jie and said, "You are Jiang. Su Zuo participates in politics and is in charge of academic politics, you have a key task in the future, that is, to convene famous scholars from all over the world to compile a teaching material for the academy, the focus is to let students learn to think, not to memorize a few books and five classics, to make a few sour poems is talent, the so-called talent, is able to do things for the court, solve problems, endorsement, poetry can solve the problem? The imperial examination is not an end, but a means! ”

Xu Jie's mind was also a little bent, and he always felt that there was something wrong with the emperor's words, but he couldn't figure it out for a while, so he had to say: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

Zhu Xu waved his hand, and then instructed, "By the way, you must listen to the voices of young people, don't work behind closed doors, listen to the opinions of others, and can't engage in 'Yiyantang', you know?" ”

That's right, Xu Jie said: "Yes! ”

Compiling books, revising, and perfecting the Confucian classics—it's decided!

Zhu Xu secretly exhaled in his heart, looked around again, and said lightly, "If there is any problem, you can say it, listen to it clearly, listen to it carefully, and listen to it darkly, don't listen to me." ”

Everyone was still reminiscing about Zhu Xu's words just now, and no one spoke for a while.

Zhu Xu snapped, opened the folding fan again, and said, "If you don't say it, then I will continue to say." ”

"Since ancient times, my Han people have pursued a realm, that is, 'the great harmony of the world', but what does this 'great harmony' look like? The saint did not explicitly say, what was the population at that time? How much land do the people want? What about taxes? Are there any side troubles? Military salary, how much is the army? The sage did not say that it has been more than 2,000 years now, and he has not figured out what it is necessary to do to achieve the ...... of 'universal harmony'."

The people in the lobby can only listen to Zhu Xu now, thinking slowly, and even many people can't keep up with the rhythm, so they can only listen with their ears pricked up.

"Didn't the saint say? So what to do? Or what I just said, that is, hard work, we can't live a lifetime with the wisdom of our ancestors thousands of years ago, we have to set an example for our children and grandchildren, we want to be stronger than the next, we can't be inferior to the next generation, so what are we still alive for? What will future generations think of us? ”

Many people realized it at this time, and they all looked at Zhu Xu with a different color or even a solemn gaze.

The emperor's words seem to be right, but in fact he is implicitly questioning the 'saint', and this 'questioning' is upright and irrefutable!

Zhu Xu glanced at these people and continued, "How will the 'Great Harmony of the World' be realized, and how long will it take? I don't know, and you certainly don't know, so what should I do? Let's try step by step, for example, first set a goal, let all the people of the Ming Dynasty first 'get rid of poverty', everyone has land, everyone does not starve, this is the beginning, and then, it is education, so that everyone can read poetry and books, everyone is full of wisdom, to find a way together, to discuss, to verify, I believe that with my Ming Dynasty, a great country, rich in the world, one day will achieve the great harmony of the world, and the peace of the world will be ......"

Some of them had dry mouths and fine sweat on their heads, and the emperor's words gave them a great shock.

It's not that Zhu Xu's words are shocking, it's that the entire literati atmosphere in the Ming Dynasty is now conservative, self-contained, and indulged in pleasure, which makes them a little difficult to accept, just like a noble son who is used to being comfortable and lazy, how can he suddenly want to experience the life of a soldier?

Zhu Xu didn't care about them, the folding fan in his hand shook slightly, and said with a smile, "Of course, my current situation is to fix the internal affairs, base the strong enemy externally, and complete the 'New Deal', but there is always a plan, what to do today?" What will be accomplished tomorrow? What are your goals for this year? What can be accomplished in three years? These must be planned in detail by the governor's yamen and the governor's yamen and reported to the ......."

Fang Kongzhi, Fu Zonglong hurriedly got up, bowed down and said, "Obey!" ”

Both of them kept their senses, listening quietly, and they could understand what Zhu Xu was talking about.

The others, including the three brothers of the Wu family, have fallen behind, and they need to be considered and scrutinized slowly.

Zhu Xu has a lot to say, but looking at the appearance of these people now, he can't say much today, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Except for the academy, it's a matter of salt merchants." ”

As soon as this sentence came out, most of the people present felt a chill, and finally came!

Qian Qianyi, Fang Kongzhi, Fu Zonglong, Shi Bangyao and other incumbent officials all looked at Zhu Xu with worriedness in their eyes, they knew that they couldn't stop Zhu Xu, and they didn't dare to persuade him at this time, for fear of angering him.

The salt merchant and the other merchants almost knelt down to plead guilty, and their faces turned pale.

The three brothers of the Wu family looked calm, but their bodies were trembling. Even Old Lady Wu, who had been closing her eyes, slowly opened her cloudy eyes at this time, and turned her head to look at Zhu Xu with difficulty.
