He looked at the emperor's face and found that he was still smiling, obviously admiring this Liu Xu very much, so he followed the emperor's words: "This person dared to unite with the scholars at the beginning of the emperor's succession, obviously knowing that the emperor is the hero of the country, if he is a dumb person, I am afraid that he will let Wei Eunuch run rampant!" He actually meant to accuse Emperor Daxing of what he said, but if the emperor wanted to eradicate Wei Gelding, he had to disobey Emperor Daxing's will, so there was no danger for him to say this.

The emperor nodded: "This Liu Xu is smart!" In the past, I was in the hidden mansion, pure in heart and few desires, not quiet, showing weakness to avoid being persecuted by Wei Biao, and never showed ability. But this son can see me thousands of miles away, which makes me a little curious. ”

"This is also the meaning of the emperor and the holy king descending from heaven, and all the self-owned Wenqu stars descending to help each other." Wang Chengen added another sentence along the way: "Now that there is a Qu Xing, there is only one Wu Qu Star left, when the time comes, the civil and military will be combined, the civil master will be inside, the martial master will be outside, and the emperor will be arbitrary, so he can naturally sweep away the Jiannu and prosper the Ming Dynasty." ”

He thought that the emperor would be very happy when he heard this, but he didn't expect the emperor to frown: "This Liu Xu spread the doctrine in the south of the Yangtze River, and also built a high altar outside Nanjing, and learned from Confucius Xingtan to give lectures." It's just a lecture, this style of lecturing in Jiangnan has always been prevalent, and it is also conducive to the education of the Holy King, but what he talks about is attacking science, and he says that Han Zi, Er Chengzi, and Zhu Zi are all 'pseudo-Confucians' and 'demon Confucians', and they are all their own set of things! Now everyone in the world is watching how I send Wei Eunuch down, and I haven't had time to criticize him, if the dust settles, I'm afraid that there won't be too few people who attack him-companion, such a person, how can I use him to rule the world? ”

Wang Chengen was silent for a while, this is also a fact, he heard that Liu Xu was lecturing in Nanjing, and criticized Wei Gelding and Wang Zaijin every day across the city wall. According to the news that came, Liu Xu's camp outside Nanjing City had almost 10,000 people, except for the 1,000 soldiers and horses of the Ying Tian Governor, all of them were scholars who came to listen to the lecture, and this political force could not be ignored.

He thought for a moment and said cautiously: "Although the emperor is dissatisfied with this person's academics, I have always been not guilty of academics. And these people have a great contribution to the castration, if they deal with it rashly, they are afraid that it will cause chaos in people's hearts, and the emperor's face will not look good at that time! ”

If Liu Xu and his soldiers are meritorious and not rewarded, I am afraid that Jiangnan will be in chaos immediately, and the emperor's reputation will become infamous through the ages.

These literati can't be provoked, it's nothing to kill one or two, if they offend thousands, even an emperor like Emperor Qin and Han Wu will not escape ridicule, not to mention the young Emperor Chongzhen!

The emperor was silent for a while, for a long time, and finally spoke: "Well, if he intends to be an official, I will give him a jinshi and a rank, and let him be a noble Hanlin in the Hanlin Academy; If you don't want to be an official, then it's just right, I give him a false rank and a loose rank, and he will give lectures in Jiangnan, since he dares to be loyal to me, I can't chill the hearts of the world's scholars! ”

Wang Chengen's mind changed rapidly, such a treatment is not inappropriate, after all, Liu Xu's doctrine is too shocking, and there are many old masters in the court who pay attention to Song and Ming Dynasty science, and it is too late to deal with Liu Xu at the moment, if Wei Gelding falls, he will attack Liu Xu. At that time, Liu Xu will not be in danger in the field, which is also the emperor's protection. If one day Liu Xu decides to give up his academic work as an official, he can use it, so he praised loudly: "The emperor is arbitrary, and he handles it properly, and the slaves and maids admire it very much!" ”

The emperor smiled and asked: "No matter how much this Liu Xu is, he is only one person, but the tens of thousands of scholars under him are a big problem - they have made great achievements in castration, and more than 800 prisoners have died for the country, if I don't make any rewards, who will dare to serve the country in the future?" But if you want to reward the officials, not to mention that the Ming Dynasty only has a total of 20,000 official positions, that is, one person will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver, then you can't afford to give it! ”

What the emperor said is a very realistic problem, it is impossible to seal officials, the official position of the Ming Dynasty can only be done by Jinshi or people at the moment, most of the students are only famous for showing their talents, how can they be convincing other officials? It is also impossible to reward money, it is better not to give less, it seems that the royal family is too stingy, but if you want to give money, the court is already so poor that it can't open the pot, how can you give money to so many people? Moreover, if others are born and die for the country, if they only reward money, they will inevitably seem to treat scholars poorly and disappoint the world.

Wang Chengen thought about the words of Liu Tong, who came to his house yesterday, this person is smart and clever, and he is quite pleasant to speak, he asked himself to talk about the "village council" in front of the emperor, but the matter is big, after all, it involves tens of thousands of official positions, and if something happens, you can't use your head to block the mouth of the people in the world?

Should I say it or not? Wang Chengen was entangled for a while, looking uneasy, unable to choose.

"Companion, what do you have in mind? How can it be so unstable? ”

Wang Chengen came back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly knelt down and replied: "The slave and maid have lost their honor in front of the king, and they are guilty of capital crimes!" ”

"It's okay, I'll tell you what comes to mind."

"The slave maid thought, this Liu Xu originally used the 'village council' to attract scholars to castrate together, which is also the reason why there are too many scholars and too few officials in Daming. If the court allowed them to go to the countryside to serve as officials, they would surely praise the court's kindness. But this imperial power is not lower than the county, it is the ancestral system, in case there is really any chaos to lose the emperor's kindness, it is a slave and maid can not choose for a while. ”

The emperor's expression was also a little heavy: "But it is so, it is accompanied by a heart." They made such a request from the beginning, and if I agreed, I didn't know what was going on with this village council, and if these people were rampant in the countryside and hurt the small people, they would hurt my innocence and lose my will; But if you don't agree, the court really can't pay for it at the moment, and this matter is not easy to handle. ”

"Your Majesty, it is better to wait for Wei Gelding to summon Liu Xu to Beijing, the emperor can personally reward the merits, or ask him about this matter, if it is really beneficial to the country, it may as well be implemented, if it is just a scholar's opinion, find another way." Wang Chengen finally chose the safest way and put all the responsibility on Liu Xu.

"This is a solution, for now, let's concentrate on dealing with Wei Biao." The emperor made a decision and immediately ordered: "Companion, I have decided to summon Wei Eunuch into the palace tomorrow, and I will order someone to read Liu Xu's letter to my face, and you will come with you!" ”

"Yes!" Wang Chengen replied in surprise.

He had a feeling that he was about to witness a historic scene.
