Chapter 40: Stirring the Holy Father

With the prime minister taking the lead and the deputies rebelling, the officials inevitably began to fight among themselves.

Although there are also many ministers who are unhappy with Muzhi, but they are unhappy, and no one dares to stand up against Muzhi.

After all, there is a prime minister in front of you.

The prime minister is not worried.

After Makizhi said that he would send him a few Ouchi masters to escort him, the prime minister confidently declined Makiyuki's kindness.

"Your Majesty doesn't need to worry about the old minister, there are a few family members in the old minister's family who have cultivated the Great Yin and Yang True Scripture."

Makiyuki: "......"

There is a feeling that the heroes of the world have all been cut.

The prime minister glanced at Mu Yi, saw that Mu Zhi did not have any displeasure because of this, and contacted the little emperor's former character, so he stroked his beard and smiled: "Your Majesty, although Ding Muzhi is a disaster in the world, he can make public such miraculous skills as the "Great Yin and Yang True Scripture", which is indeed full of courage, and he is not able to do it. ”

Makiyuki pursed his lips.

This feeling of being praised in front of people is really weird.

Hey, in order not to make the prime minister suspicious, brother will also come to a wave of business to blow each other: "Ding Muzhi is indeed extraordinary, if I am given an artifact like the Great Yin and Yang True Scripture, I will definitely build a group of eunuch corps to suppress the world." ”

"Your Majesty Shengming, the master cultivated in this way can definitely rest assured. Lao Chen has observed that these people who have cultivated the "Great Yin and Yang True Scripture" are not very important in terms of fame and fortune. At first, the ministers wanted to entrust them with important tasks, but they all refused, basking in the sun every day, inspecting the mansion, and living a very simple life. ”

At first, the prime minister was quite worried that his subordinates would get out of control.

Later, he found out that Salted Fish cultivated the Divine Skill Secret Book or Salted Fish, and he had no subjective initiative at all.

But this kind of person uses it well, and it actually has a miraculous effect.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is better to block than to be sparse, since it has become a fact that the "Great Yin and Yang True Scripture" is popular all over the world, it is better for us to increase our efforts."

The Prime Minister's proposal made Muzhi very interested.

"Go on."

Seeing that Muzhi was interested, the prime minister boldly said his suggestion: "The minister thinks that many positions in the court, if too ambitious people hold them, there will be uncontrollable consequences. If you don't make a rule, if you want to be an official, you will cut yourself. ”

Makiyuki's expression became very exciting.

Sleep~ groove, he really didn't have this idea before.

Sure enough, it was his own person who stabbed the knife in the back and stabbed it even harder.

"Your Majesty, the minister is also planning for the society. If you cut yourself and lose your ambitions, you won't think about usurping the throne, and you can use them with confidence. ”

The prime minister did not suggest that everyone should cut themselves, but let the chief officials of many sensitive positions cut themselves.

It's just so inhumane.

Mu Zhi seriously considered this suggestion, but decided to suppress it for the time being: "Forget it, I can't force others to stab themselves, and if they really stab themselves, I'm afraid they won't have the motivation to do things." ”

The prime minister thought that Mu Zhi was acting coyly, so he continued to suggest: "Your Majesty, even if you lose motivation, it is better than being ambitious." ”

"I'm now assessing hundreds of officials, just to get rid of the people who are on the corpse vegetarian diet, and you ask me to recruit the people who are on the corpse vegetarian meal again, so what am I doing so hard?"

The prime minister was stunned, and then he reacted, it turned out that Mu Zhi was not pretending to be a gesture.

He glanced at Mu Yi in surprise, and the prime minister hurriedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "It's the minister's short-sightedness, not as thoughtful as His Majesty." ”

He realized one thing: Mu Zhi really wanted to run to Mingjun to do it.

After this wave of operations, Muzhi was not to seize power, but simply to make the country better.

After realizing this, the prime minister's mood was a little complicated.

He has been a corrupt official for so many years, can he be a virtuous man in the last period of his career?

For the prime minister, his footsteps must have followed the emperor.

The emperor is mediocre, and he is also mediocre.

The emperor loves money, so he follows as a corrupt official.

But if the emperor wants to be a Ming monarch, he will also be a virtuous minister.

are all prime ministers, and switching between black and white is just a basic operation.

"The minister understands His Majesty's thoughts, and from now on, the minister will do his best to make my Dawu better." The prime minister found that Muzhi was speaking very bluntly now, and he simply stopped hiding it.

Makiyuki was very satisfied with the Prime Minister's statement.

"It's good that the prime minister has this heart, Lao Ji has ambitions for thousands of miles, and I still want to make a good story with you."

The prime minister was a little excited: "The minister must live up to Your Majesty's high expectations, and if Your Majesty has other instructions, please do not hesitate to give instructions." ”

He felt that he was getting old, and he couldn't keep up with Makiyuki's thinking.

It's really troublesome to guess, and the way everyone speaks is simpler.

Makizhi fulfilled his request: "I will gradually eliminate a group of officials, and replace the officials, I do not require them to do their poetry and books, but only require them to have practical experience." For example, the person who adjudicates the case must be able to solve the case, the person who is engaged in agriculture and mulberry must go to the field and be able to farm, and the person in the manufacturing bureau should be able to skillfully use all kinds of weaving machines. I don't want laymen to lead insiders, and I don't require leaders to be very professional, but at least I should have practiced it myself. ”

The prime minister is stupid.

After a moment, he reacted, his body trembling slightly.

"Your Majesty, what are you going to ...... To ......"

He didn't say anything.

Mu Zhi helped him add: "I want to change the atmosphere of the court of Great Wu and reform the imperial examination from the root." ”

The current imperial examination is based on poems, songs, articles, scriptures, and meanings, and then you can become an official......

The proportion of practice is pitiful.

"Prime Minister, you have been an official for decades, you should know very well that poetry is useless to the imperial court, and a scholar with no practical experience becomes a parent official, which is a nightmare for the people."

The prime minister naturally knows this truth.

But......

"Your Majesty, in this way, all the scholars in the world will be centrifuged."

"No, at most, the vast majority of scholars are centrifuged, and there are always some Confucian scholars who combine knowledge and action, and I will not be beaten to death with a stick." Makiyuki said that he was very generous.

Prime Minister: "...... Your Majesty, behind these scholars are the great members of the dynasty. ”

What Mu Zhi wants to move is the way from the entry of officials to promotion, which involves the fundamental interests of hundreds of officials, and the prime minister feels that he can't stand it.

Makiyuki said that it was not a problem: "They dare not oppose me. ”

The prime minister couldn't understand Mu Zhi's self-confidence: "Your Majesty, rabbits bite people in a hurry, I'm afraid they really dare to stand on the opposite side of you." ”

"They don't have a chance."

Mu Zhi had long predicted that this situation would occur, the emperor was only, and the ministers were not going to change the emperor.

So he struck first and made these people eat the poison.

You can't see it on weekdays.

If there is someone who is against him, he will be sent to his fathers and fathers every minute.

Looking at the confident Muzhi, although the prime minister didn't know about Muzhi's poisoning, he faintly sensed that Muzhi was murderous.

He shuddered.

"Your Majesty, it's easy to kill people, but if you kill too many people, the world will be in chaos. The scholars are centrifuged, the officials are centrifuged, and the emperor is alone. ”

Speaking from the heart, the prime minister's words are really for the good of the pastor.

But Mu Zhi didn't appreciate it: "I stand with the people, and the people of the world will not be centrifugal." ”

"The people are ignorant."

"I'll open up the wisdom of the people."

Prime Minister: "...... Your Majesty, if you turn on the wisdom of the people, the imperial power will be turbulent. ”

The prime minister is really digging out his heart.

The more knowledgeable, the more counter-~ moving, this is definitely not an empty word.

If the people at the bottom become smarter, the country will become more and more difficult to govern.

You don't see that the lighthouse country has been promoting anti-intellectualism education for a long time.

If Mu wants to do the opposite, he is digging his own grave.

The prime minister was completely incomprehensible.

But Mu Zhi played slightly: "Prime Minister, I don't care about imperial power. ”

Prime Minister: "......"

"Do a good job, maybe you can put the imperial power in a cage in your own office." Makiyuki encouraged.

The prime minister's legs were weak, and he knelt directly on the ground: "The minister doesn't dare." ”

"I'm not tempting you, don't worry."

Mu Zhi felt that if he could personally cultivate a group of revolutionary parties as an emperor, his sense of accomplishment would be greatly reduced.

It's a pity that the great man of the librarian is really rare to see in the ages, and he doesn't think he has such good luck to meet one.

Otherwise, with him, the emperor, the inside and the outside, let the sun and the moon change the sky in minutes.

Looking at the prime minister's "discolored" old face, Mu Zhi knew that although he was his own Wolong, he was definitely not his fellow traveler.

It's okay to let the prime minister help him deal with the bureaucracy, and it is certainly hopeless for him to lead the revolution.

"Go down, I'm going to rest."

The prime minister is old, and Mu Zhi doesn't want to scare him, in case something goes wrong, he really doesn't have a candidate to take advantage of for a while.

The prime minister's trembling farewell.

Although the heart of getting close to the emperor has not changed, today's dialogue between Muzhi and him still has a huge impact on his three views.

He needs time to slow down.

……

Makiyuki was ready to cultivate a group of revolutionary flames.

But it's meant to be a long-term plan.

He still had to use his position as emperor to almost wipe out the opposition, otherwise there would be no soil for revolution at all.

The plan went very well.

Muzhi used the method of boiling frogs in warm water, and provoked the infighting of hundreds of officials, and soon, new faces began to appear in the court.

Most of these new faces are loyal to him, and although it is very likely that they will become opposition in the future, Makiyuki thought about it and did not continue to poison these people.

If they really had the courage to change from loyal vassals to traitors, it might be a good thing for Makiyuki.

As for the frustrated ones in officialdom...... Shangguan Xingfeng reported a message to Mu Zhi:

"They're going to make trouble."

"How?" Makiyuki was not surprised by the news.

It's impossible for anyone to sit still.

Emperors were naturally supreme in feudal antiquity, but not all emperors could die at the end of their lives.

There are a lot of people who die halfway.

If the officials are really ruthless, it is not impossible to replace an emperor.

These people are indeed preparing to change the emperor, and Shangguan Xingfeng even found out about their plan.

"They are ready to make a final effort to invite the Contemporary Yan Sheng Gong to the capital and persuade His Majesty to turn back. If it is not successful, he will take action to get rid of His Majesty. ”

Mu Zhi raised his eyebrows: "Yan Shenggong? ”

Descendants of Confucius.

With the status of Confucius in Confucianism and the status of Confucianism in the world, Yan Shenggong has naturally been passed down from generation to generation by the Confucian family throughout the ages, and the people of the world have no objections.

As soon as Yan Shenggong came out, the emperor must also give enough respect.

To put it bluntly, in the hearts of scholars all over the world, the emperor really does not necessarily have the dignity of Yan Shenggong.

Mu Zhi's successive measures made it clear that he was shaking the foundation of Confucianism, and Yan Shenggong, as a successor of Confucianism, couldn't sit still and was ready to go out of the mountain in person, which is understandable.

Shangguan Xingfeng made up for the information of the East Factory during this time, and it is no longer the former political ~ governance Xiaobai.

Seeing that Mu Zhi fell into thought, Shangguan Xingfeng didn't want Mu Zhi to be embarrassed, so he took the initiative to ask Ying: "I'll kill him, lest he make trouble for you." ”

"It's easy to kill him, but it's hard to kill the people of the world."

"Then kill them with a chill." Shangguan Xingfeng's expression was very cold.

Makizhi smiled: "This is really a feasible way. ”

The bones of the literati are never hard.

If you want to convince them, you have to be simple and rude.

When you didn't see the invasion of the Central Plains by foreign races, these literati turned into officials and masters of the new dynasty.

Although they were the servants of foreign rulers, the status of these Confucian scholars was not greatly impacted.

People have weak knees and know to surrender.

Since it is possible to surrender to a foreign race, it is also a matter of course to surrender to an iron-blooded emperor.

Makiyuki knocked on the dragon chair and decided to come with a wave of hard.

Of course, there is no need to stand directly in opposition to the people of the world.

"Make a show."

Shangguan Xingfeng came to the spirit: "Please instruct Your Majesty." ”

"Go and check the evil things that the Kong family did in Qufu, and then print them on leaflets, send them to all parts of the country, and strive for a copy for everyone, and if you don't have enough money, you will take it from my inner treasury."

The Confucian family was a large landlord class in Qufu.

This kind of family, if there are no male thieves and female prostitutes, human blood steamed buns, Muzhi's name is written upside down.

Shangguan Xingfeng recalled a little, and then he was happy: "No need to check, there is information about the Kong family in the East Factory, and the content in it is not ordinarily exciting." ”

Dongchang is the emperor's institution to supervise the world, and the Confucian family, as the residence of Yan Shenggong, is naturally also among the supervision.

Mu Zhi also smiled: "Then it's simple, print all the materials and scatter them, paste them on the street walls casually, and pirate printers can print them casually, and be sure to step on the Confucian family's reputation to the bottom." ”

Mu Zhi didn't have any opinions about the Kong family.

It's just that if he wants to reform the imperial examination system, he can only start with Confucianism.

And to suppress Confucianism, it is inevitable to suppress the Confucian family.

This is an inevitable contradiction, so there is no need to show mercy.

"In addition, I heard that the current Yan Shenggong is in good health, although he is already sixty years old, he just took in a fourteen-year-old concubine last month?" Makiyuki thought of a gossip news.

It was Shangguan Xingfeng who told him.

Shangguan Xingfeng affirmed Mu Zhi's memory: "There is indeed such a thing. ”

"That's easy, although it's not a big deal to be talented, but who made him want to find trouble with me." Mu Zhi chuckled: "Among the people who secretly conspired against me, led by the Ministry of Rites, if I remembered correctly, he stabbed himself, right?" ”

"Yes, the information of the East Factory shows that he is no longer good, so the waste is reused."

Mu Zhi said lightly: "Catch the contemporary Yan Shenggong and throw it on the bed of the favorite concubine of the Ministry of Rites~, and then let the Ministry of Rites Shangshu catch~ rape in bed." ”
