Compared with the opposition in Shilin, the struggle of the Shilin Party in the court is weak, or it is more appropriate to say that it is powerless. 【Reading.com】

"Your Majesty, the Great Ming Law was established by Taizu, who changed the law of the ancestors without authorization, and framed the minister with a new law, which is a sign of the death of the country!" Alarmist? No, Wang Wei has completely let himself out, anyway, his life can't be saved, and his reputation behind him is also in jeopardy, what else is he afraid of?

The normal court meeting is not to discuss political affairs, but the emperor's review ceremony of the courtiers and the vassal state. However, when the farce of Chengtianmen ended, Zhengde ascended to the Taihe Palace, and when he mentioned the change for the first time, the last trace of luck in the hearts of Wang Wei and others disappeared without a trace.

"Your Majesty, the ancestral legacy has been operating smoothly for more than 100 years, and the world has been peaceful, if you change it without authorization, it may cause chaos, and then it will be an uncontrollable situation, please think twice!" Wang Qiong echoed casually.

He no longer has any thoughts of life, whether it is the Great Ming Law or the New Law, his crime is enough to die several times. However, whether to change the law or not is related to the future status of Confucianism, if according to the new law, then Confucianism can only return to the Han Dynasty, and the hundred schools of thought are on the same starting line, and even have to compete again from a lower position.

With the arrogance of Confucian children, Wang Qiong is no longer sure whether he can accept such a reality, and what worries him the most is that in the future competition, Confucianism has no chance of winning at all.

Xie Hong did leave a way out for traditional literati, and in a strict sense, this way out has not been impossible, and it may not be without achievements in the future, but according to Wang Qiong, most of the Confucian children have no future. Accustomed to the self-respecting saying, how can a big tree that has no shelter from the wind and rain suddenly face the storm outside?

Even if some people adapt to the new environment and achieve something, they will not be able to reproduce the prosperity of the millennium, and those who follow the path indicated by the new law will be assimilated into the new system.

"Anything else?" Zhengde's face was very tight, and people who didn't know the inside story thought that he was angry by Wang Wei's offended words, but in fact, because of the unsatisfactory competition, he was still angry.

There was silence in the hall of "......".

Among those who originally belonged to the imperial party, many were also dissatisfied with the New Deal, especially the status of Confucianism. But there are more choices in front of them, even if they can't pull down their subordinates to find a position in the new dynasty bureau, they can also retreat bravely and go home to recuperate.

Under the new system, the status of the bureaucracy has declined considerably, but the means of making profits have diversified. In the past two years, the people in the imperial party have accumulated some merits, and the imperial court has promised that those who want to be famous can exchange their merits for contributions, so it is a passable choice to abandon politics and business, or go home to do academics.

A person like Zhou Jing who betrayed the Shi Party also accepted his fate. The road Xie Hong pointed out to them was full of thorns, but it didn't work out of the way, and after saving their families, they couldn't have the courage to make a desperate bet like Wang Wei.

Another centrist like Li Dongyang was already ready to stay out of the situation, and it was easy to get out, of course, he would not suddenly lose his head and jump into the political whirlpool by himself.

Therefore, in the end, only Wang Qiong and others were involved in various conspiracies to the extent that they were not forgiven, as well as those outright diehards.

Although he didn't speak, there were a lot of people in this group, and intermittently, dozens of people came out in response and stood silently behind the second king.

If it was an ordinary early dynasty, the momentum of dozens of people would not be small, but today is the Great Dynasty Meeting, except for the envoys of the vassal states who were left out, there are thousands of officials in the Taihe Palace, relatively speaking, the lineup of the opposition is very small.

Zhengde raised his eyes and glanced down, then waved his hand lightly, and said coldly: "Take it all!" ”

His movements are not large, but the movement caused is not small. The guards soldiers who were guarding on the side put down the knives in their hands and rushed directly to get people; The ministers were also shocked, the emperor's reaction was too unexpected, and it wasn't such a way to engage in liquidation?

Regardless of other people, at the level of a university scholar, even if it is recalled, it is extremely rare, and those who mix in the court are all particular about people, and if they are forced to the end of the road, they will naturally ask for a minister, and the kung fu is all off the field, how can it be so straightforward?

"Your Majesty, today is the celebration of the whole world, isn't it ......" Li Dongyang's style was the same as before, and he euphemistically put forward an exhortation. His hints are twofold, one is the court meeting itself, and the other is the subsequent wedding ceremony, he doesn't want to protect the king, it is in vain, he just wants to leave the last trace of face for the scholar party and get out of the arena with dignity.

Although he stepped forward, the guards did not stop, and the teenagers paid no attention to anything except Zhengdeok's orders. Before he could struggle, Wang Wei was pushed to the ground, and the young man who took the man was so violent that he pressed his face tightly to the ground, so that he couldn't open his mouth at all, and couldn't make a sound, let alone how embarrassed he was.

Li Dongyang was taken aback, and only halfway through a word of advice, he was stuck in his mouth. If you continue to talk about it, who knows if Zhengde will point to him and trap him in? If you are taken down like this, your face and body will be completely lost.

The scholars and doctors attach great importance to their appearance, they are ugly, and they can't even pass the Jinshi exam, so in a sense, most of the people who can mix in the court are handsome guys, and at the same time, they also follow the handsome guy rule of 'the head can be broken, and the hairstyle can't be messy'.

So, the rough enforcement of the Guards shook them all.

"Long live the ......" is at this moment, a person walked out of the passage behind the palace, the ministers looked up, recognized Luo Xiang, one of the eight tigers, saw the chaotic scene in the hall, he was slightly stunned, but did not delay much, immediately made a salute, signaled to Zhengde, there is something important to report.

"Something? Just say it there, and say nothing to anyone. Zhengde waved his hand impatiently.

"Long live the Lord, there are hundreds of Confucian students gathered outside the Chengtian Gate, and they are more than looking to the north and kowtowing, and the first few people are all great Confucians in the capital...... The stakes are big, and the goalkeeper doesn't dare to specialize, you see......"

In addition to Liu Jin and Zhang Yong, the Eight Tigers are all ambitious, but they are still able to do things, the Great Dynasty will be accompanied by Gu Dayong and the Third Prince, and Luo Xiang is responsible for the palace ban. At this time, in addition to this kind of difficult mess, Chengtianmen was also a little nervous, and his forehead was full of cold sweat.

"Hundreds of people kowtowing? How long has it been? Zhengde was slightly stunned.

"It's been a while, and after the ring of Chengtianmen is dismantled, they are here...... Several of them already had blood on their heads, and if they continued like this, they might ......."

Today is going to be liquidated, but whether it is Zhengde, who wants to do a happy event, or Xie Hong, the mastermind, what they want to see is a smooth liquidation. And Luo Xiang was also notified in advance, knowing that something might happen today, but he didn't expect it to be so serious, if these people really kept knocking to the end, maybe a few people would die in Chengtianmen, and it was not known that in that case, it would be against the original intention.

Zhengde frowned, this accident gave him a little headache. The courtiers under Danqi were all relieved, and Wang Wei and others, who were pressed to the ground, were even more ecstatic in their hearts.

Wang Wei and Zhang Juren did not communicate in advance, and there were secret agents around him all the time, and he couldn't find a chance to connect with him, and the outside action was purely a spontaneous plan of the capital Shilin because of the death of the rabbit and the grief of the fox.

Not knowing in advance does not mean that Wang Wei does not know what the other party is going to do, with his experience, from Luo Xiang's few words, he can get enough information, which is also a dead admonition.

The influence of Confucianism was deep-rooted, and if it was suppressed according to the original steps of the imperial court, it would cause a lot of discontent, but the benefits of overseas could divert the attention of the gentry and resolve the contradictions invisibly.

And now, the fame of those people who came is not high, but their reputation is not small, their fame is low, and they are not famous, so they naturally do not have much guilt, if the court uses strength, or allows them to die outside, then the contradiction may intensify.

This is political kidnapping, Wang Wei twitched the corners of his mouth with difficulty, revealing an ugly sneer, thinking that his wife killed himself peacefully and expelled the saint's children? No way! If you don't stir up chaos in the world and stir Shenzhou into a pot of porridge, how can you be worthy of yourself as a scholar? If the old man can't live, then no one should think about it!

Everyone else didn't care about etiquette, and looked up at Zhengde, nervous with some anticipation.

If Zhengde adopts tough measures or allows it to be permissive, then the dissatisfaction in various places is likely to be vented through this reason, and then the world will be in chaos. No matter how good it is overseas, only the gentry of the coastal provinces have experienced it firsthand. In contrast, the removal of privileges is a looming crisis.

They don't want to see chaos in the world, and they don't want to see the overthrow of Confucianism, so although they may have a very low surname, most people are looking forward to a change of heart from Zhengde.

Such a change is not only easy for people to accept, but also greatly increases the hope of Confucianism to turn the tables, because the system has not changed, the new bureaucracy will soon be assimilated, and new unspoken rules will soon appear.

In the midst of all the attention, Zhengde slowly turned his head and turned his inquiry to the court.

There is no need to ask, no need to look, everyone knows who he is asking for, and the only one who can give advice at such a time and make the emperor obey is the champion Hou.

So, the courtiers turned their heads, and then, rightfully seeing a look of determination, in the face of the challenge, the young man never flinched, he nodded firmly, and responded to the inquiry of the sworn brother, the great son of tomorrow.
