Chapter 82: Worship and Confrontation

Xiao Mu's purpose in letting so many high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty come to watch is to use the "appearance" of Gu Bingqian, Feng Quan and others to give the rest of the officials a wake-up call. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Otherwise, even Xiao Mu, who is a traverser, will not inexplicably gather the ministers together, just to play just to toss them.

Xiao Mu's purpose was indeed achieved, and the ministers present saw the current appearance of Feng Quan, the former backbone of the eunuch party, and their hearts were also deeply touched, and some officials even had a strange feeling of sadness for the death of a rabbit and a fox.

However, it is slightly regrettable that in such an event, which is a milestone for the entire Ming Dynasty's educational circles, there are no officials in charge of education in the Ming Dynasty to participate - the Hanlin Academy and the Guozijian are not the units of the third grade (the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy is the fifth grade, and the Guozi Supervisor is from the fourth grade), Xiao Mu's casual sentence "officials above the third grade" delineated the scope, and successfully excluded them with the same regret. Among the officials present now, those who can barely get along with the "educational cause" are the officials of the Ministry of Rites, Shangshu and Shilang, for example, Qian Qianyi.

However, such a "regretful" arrangement, in a sense, is also a good thing for Xiao Mu, who feels sorry in his heart, and after today's event, Xiao Mu will definitely think so.

In fact, the civil ministers of the Ming Dynasty still have a lot of energy, especially after so many ministers have all gathered together, the energy they burst out is so great that it is comparable to Xiao Mu, the emperor. In the entire Ming Dynasty, when Taizu and Chengzu were in power, they could really say the same, and the civil official group and all the other emperors could fight against each other, but Xiao Mu didn't realize this yet, or he still underestimated the energy of the ministers.

However, reality soon taught Xiao Mu a vivid lesson, helping Xiao Mu quickly realize this. If you want to say how fast it is here, the answer is that after Feng Quan appeared and shocked the hearts of other officials, what happened next immediately made Xiao Mu fully realize this truth.

Before Feng Quan gave a lecture, he still planned to lead the little eunuch students to worship Confucius according to the usual practice. This practice is simply taken for granted in the Ming Dynasty, after all, Confucius is the "Holy Master of Dacheng", the ancestor of all the scholars in the world, and now the little eunuchs want to read and write, naturally want to worship Confucius, this matter is an eternal truth in the eyes of everyone in the Ming Dynasty, just like the "axioms" in the mathematical theory of later generations, there is no need to prove it.

Naturally, in the "drills" arranged in advance by the eunuchs in charge of the inner study hall, this was also practiced repeatedly as a key link, so although they had not officially started studying, the little eunuchs had already worshiped Confucius many times, and the Confucian saints also took the same time to accept the same batch of students many times in heaven - of course, Xiao Mu and the ministers present did not know about these things.

However, it is a little unfortunate that in this time and space, there are two characters who originally did not belong to the Ming Dynasty, and these two characters are precisely the characters at the top of the pyramid of the Ming Dynasty.

What's even more unfortunate is that the matter of "worshiping Confucius when you read" is a matter of course, in the eyes of these two traversers, Xiao Mu and Lin Ye, it is not an unbreakable iron law, in the eyes of Lin Ye is dispensable, and in Xiao Mu's eyes, it is unnecessary.

At least in Xiao Mu's later generations, everyone had to go to school since childhood, but I had never seen a school that forced new students to worship Confucius in an organized manner, otherwise they would not be allowed to enroll. Xiao Mu also naturally thought that the year 2333 where Lin Yi was located must be the same, after all, it was a civilized society three hundred years later, and if you think about it with your feet, you can know that there will definitely be no such thing as "turning back history".

Therefore, although Lin Yi on the side acted indifferent, just like watching an ancient movie, Xiao Mu's heart was eager to try at this moment, and he couldn't help but have the urge to challenge Confucius's authority in China for thousands of years.

Xiao Mu thought so in his heart, and of course he did not hesitate to do so. Since crossing over to the present, Xiao Mu thinks that he has completely adapted to the new identity of the emperor, and he is more confident in doing things. After all, such a character who says the same, if he is replaced by any ordinary person, after doing it for a long time, he will have a trace of the aura of a "superior person", and he will do things with such an indescribable confidence.

So Xiao Mu immediately stopped Feng Quan's "attempt" to let the little eunuchs worship Confucius. However, even Xiao Mu, who was simple-minded in Lin Yi's eyes, knew that he couldn't go too far and completely negate all the Confucian systems, because this would definitely not work.

So Xiao Mu still found a reason to prevent the young students from visiting Confucius, and the reason was also ready-made, Xiao Mu casually thought of one: Feng Quan is the backbone of the eunuch party, a guilty person, and he is not qualified to lead the little eunuchs to worship Confucius, so Xiao Mu announced that the inner study hall should implement a completely different policy from other schools, that is, the students of the inner study hall do not need to worship Confucius - after the reform, the gentlemen who teach in the inner study hall are all guilty people, and the guilty people are not qualified to lead students to worship Confucius, Such an act was originally an insult to the "Holy Master", and there was no gentleman in the Inner Study Hall who was not a guilty person, so the Inner Study Hall had no way to complete the tradition of letting the students worship Confucius, so it had to cancel the ceremony.

Xiao Mu thinks that his set of theoretical logic is very thorough, enough to convince everyone present, even if someone disagrees with his opinion, he will definitely be speechless and unable to refute.

However, it turned out that Xiao Mu was still too young, and his awareness and preparation for the difficulties he was about to face were insufficient, so that he instantly fell into the group of all the ministers above the third rank in the capital......

"Your Majesty! This is absolutely unacceptable! ”

"Your Majesty! Etiquette should not be taken lightly! ”

"Your Majesty! The sage cloud 'has education and no class', how can he lose the big because of the small? ”

Even Qian Qianyi, who has always been very respectful in front of Xiao Mu recently, also expressed a different opinion at this moment: "Your Majesty, it is an ancient precept for thousands of years to worship the master of enlightened schoolchildren, if you depose it in vain, it may cause a shock in the world, and the minister thinks that this move will hurt the peace of the heavens, and the minister implores Your Majesty to retract the ...... of the order."

Lin Yi didn't expect that Xiao Mu would be able to do such a strange thing without paying attention to himself - in front of the best scholars in the world, he announced that he would abolish the rules of scholars for thousands of years, which is clearly the rhythm of self-defeat, this kind of stupid thing to do by himself, and it is really only this wooden-headed nerd who does it.

However, Lin Yi didn't have any idea of wanting to relieve Xiao Mu, although she was the queen's mother, but now the courtiers and the emperor were arguing about the "orthodox avenue", and she was only a woman, so she could only make a vase quietly on the side, and she was not qualified to speak at all. What's more, Xiao Mu, the "emperor", is a little overwhelmed by the repeated attacks of those ministers, and how can he, the queen, be able to resolve the tense situation in front of him?

If you speak rashly, the angry ministers will think that they have influenced their Shengming emperor and blew the "pillow wind" that should not be blown to the emperor, which made the emperor do all kinds of strange things.

Of course, these reasons are still secondary, and the most important one is that Lin Yi has no intention of helping Xiao Mu alleviate the situation at all, but with some mentality that watching the excitement is not a big deal, he watched a good show on the side, if any eunuch can serve a plate of melon seeds and tea and other snacks now, Lin Yi will definitely promote him heavily.

Lin Ye didn't have any sympathy for Xiao Mu who died by himself, but gloated and watched the play on the sidelines, looking forward to watching Xiao Mu's embarrassed appearance of running away. But soon she found that Xiao Mu's combat effectiveness was also not covered, in the face of the menacing ministers, Xiao Mu behaved very calmly, and insisted that "those who wear guilt must not defile the sages" and "there is no innocent lecturer in the inner study hall" Such logical arguments, and repeatedly tug-of-war with the ministers with reel words, the scene was once evenly matched.

At this time, the absence of the officials of the Hanlin Academy and the Guozijian was highlighted to Xiao Mu's help, after all, the group of people in these two yamen were all guys who studied Confucian scriptures all day long, quoted scriptures, and searched for chapters and sentences. And the most important point is that these two yamen, especially the Hanlin Academy, are places to reserve talents for the future cabinet, and most of the officials in them are relatively young, so they are naturally young and energetic. In contrast, although these officials above the third rank present now are also Confucians who are familiar with the scriptures and righteousness, after all, they have achieved such a high official position, and they are all a lot older, and their energy is not as vigorous as that of young people, and their minds are not as flexible as young people. This also allowed Xiao Mu to take a little "cheap"

It's just that Xiao Mu is busy with the ministers now, and he has no time to think about this issue at all.

"I have made up my mind, and the ministers don't need to discuss it anymore!" Xiao Mu said with a stiff face, in a very firm tone that no one can question, exuding an indescribable kingly temperament all over his body, which even made Lin Yi, who was watching the excitement on the sidelines, unable to control his admiration for Xiao Mu.

This evenly matched confrontation lasted for a long time, until an official suddenly appeared and made a thunderous remark, which succeeded in shocking everyone present.
