Chapter 522 Respect Confucianism and Promote the Holy Way
Forced by Li Xingzhi's strength, the German king Zhu Youshu had to compromise again, and on the spot he colluded with Sun Zhimi's one hundred and twelve court officials who participated in the attack on the Daming Gate.
As a result, less than two months after the execution of Chengguo Duke Zhu Chunchen and Chen Yan and others, Jingshi set off a monstrous case.
Wu Changshi, Yin Xingmin, Fang Shiliang, Zhou Zhonglian and other big officials in the eyes of the people were dragged to the Desheng Gate by the wolf-like Jinyi Guard, and then they were cut into a pile of white bones in front of the people of Jingshi.
As for their families, except for children under the age of ten, the rest were sent to Caishikou by the Jinyi Guards and the 112 court officials who participated in the storming of the palace gate, all of whom were beheaded for public display.
In addition, the families of more than 3,000 court officials, except for the young women who were sent to the Jiaofang Division, were all assigned to the Zhaoyuan Copper Mine, and what awaited them was a dark mining career.
Dealing with hundreds of officials at one time, thousands of prisoners are small, this is unprecedented since the Hongwu Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty, such a bloody killing, so that the gentry, officials, common people and those peddlers, pawns and ruffians and hooligans in Beijing, all of them are terrified, everyone is silent, for fear that they will be accidentally taken away by the red-eyed Jinyi guard.
As the saying goes, murder and arson set fire to the gold belt, and the family property of more than 100 court officials was also detected by Sun Zhimi and Liu Qiao, who participated in the case.
According to investigation, except for Wu Ganzhong, a member of the official department, only more than 100 taels of silver were found in the home of Lang Xu Zhi, and the rest of the officials' homes were all rich in property, ranging from thousands of taels to 780,000 taels, and after Sun Zhi's inspection, a total of 2.81 million taels of silver and 68,312 taels of gold were confiscated, and the rest of the antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and jade were also worth one million taels of silver.
"Prime Minister, these corrupt officials are really not wronged at all, this is still the family property confiscated after you asked them to donate 20 million taels of silver, so greedy and excessive, no wonder the rogue is inexhaustible, and the killing is endless, the teacher of the lower officials is wronged!"
In the Guogong Mansion, Liu Lishun, the first assistant of the cabinet, looked at the list of belongings submitted by Sun Zhimi, and his face was not angry, when he was the governor of Shandong, he was already a goose plucking, but compared to these Beijing officials, he felt that he could be regarded as clear as water and as clear as a mirror.
"Xue Ge Lao is wronged, this is all the first emperor's negligence, the ministers are also blinded, now that the Holy Son of Heaven is in the court, it is natural to set things right, and when the Son of Heaven changes the Yuan, the prime minister will invite the Son of Heaven to rehabilitate Xue Ge Lao and Mao Shuai."
There are many civilian officials in the Jingbei military system who are the disciples and grandchildren of Xue Guoguan, and many of the military generals are the old department of the former Dongjiang Town.
"The lower official thanked the prime minister on behalf of Xue Gong."
Liu Lishun fell to the ground, the literati of this era paid the most attention to respecting teachers, Liu Lishun may not be loyal and straightforward, but he is still grateful for Xue Guoguan's promotion and cultivation.
"Dashuai, Dashuai, the manuscript that Kong Yinzhi was ordered to write has been written, originally he entered Beijing with Jinyiwei, but Miss Kong San's body is getting heavier and heavier, and he can't get out for a while, saying that he will wait for Miss San's birth to enter the court to see the new emperor, and ask Dashuai to be tolerant."
Li Xingzhi and Liu Lishun were talking, Jinyi Wei commanded the envoy, but Rongcheng Boma Sande did not get the report from the guards, so he broke into the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion in a hurry.
"Congratulations to the Prime Minister, congratulations to the Prime Minister, God bless me Daming, there is a successor to the Prime Minister, so that my Daming foundation will stabilize Mount Tai."
Xu Yixian and Liu Lishun on the side, after hearing Ma Sande's recital, their faces showed ecstasy, and they bowed down in front of Li Xingzhi.
"Uh...... The two of you hurry up, Ma Sande showed Mr. Xu the handwritten letter of Kong Yinzhi. ”
Li Xingzhi was a little depressed, he and the third lady of the Kong family only had a one-night relationship, this woman was actually pregnant, abolishing the hereditary title of Yansheng Gong and reforming the eight-share system since the Song Dynasty, this is his established strategy, this Kong Maozhen has a body, and Kong Yinzhi is also his own cheap father-in-law, what the hell is going on with this matter?
"The subordinate officer takes the order."
Xu Yixian got up and took the manuscript handed over by Ma Sande and read aloud: "The gentleman's success is clear in the debate of heaven and man, and the holy master has a saying, the gentleman should pay attention to the way of etiquette, music, shooting, royalty, calligraphy, and counting, cover himself and be cautious in the sky, and the way to achieve things." None of them, can An Neng plan to do a big deal?
And the things of the past and the present, they seek to be violent in the sky. If there is little manpower, it will be indistinguishable; If the number of days is small, there will be no failure.
It is the success of a gentleman and a way. Those who respect themselves will do their best, and they will do their best, and people will be self-satisfied. Those who are wrong in themselves will drop out of empty words and deeds, and those who will succeed will not have it.
As for the number of days, how can it be? The sky is also subtle and difficult to reverse, there is a way to do nature, and there is no way to belong to people. The sky is also silent, with the beauty of becoming a gentleman, and the greed of a helpless villain.
Therefore, it is easy for people to respect themselves, but it is difficult for those who are cautious to heaven. The collapse of Mount Tai and the rise of the elk are incomprehensible to their eyes, and they are not admired. The hard work of the muscles and bones has always strengthened its heart, and it is also a system that should be made.
Those who respect themselves, those who are cautious of heaven, and help themselves. But those who help themselves can do things with the help of heaven.
The success of a gentleman is a heavy responsibility and a long way to go. Those who want to succeed must first become their own people. The argument between heaven and man is good at the power of things, and the argument of posterity is good at the power of things and me, and then things can be done?
The Tang and Han dynasties were so prosperous, and the gentleman knew what he was doing.
And to the reign of Emperor Taizuwu of this dynasty, set up two departments of civil and military, imitating the old practice of the Han and Tang dynasties, both civil and military, there were seven to the West, five to the desert, but since the civil fort, the civil officials and the government, light military affairs and heavy literature, for a time, the scholars and students are soft for the beauty, grease and powder, lingering between the Washe hook column, light military affairs and forget the training of the saints, the frontier of the country began to be chaotic.
This prince is a descendant of a saint, and he is deeply ashamed of the gentry of the world who misinterpreted the holy way, and he feels that the military affairs of the country are not prosperous, and the Tatars have knocked on the customs for many years, for the people, for the Han family, and I respectfully tell the world's scholars, the six arts of the gentleman and even the creation of the holy master, if you do not know the way of the six arts, how can you talk about being a disciple of a saint? Therefore, the re-examination of the six arts mentioned by Qi Guogong is really the words of gold and jade, and Wang'er respects and attaches importance to it, and revitalizes my holy way. ”
"Hehe, Kong Yinzhi's article is very well written, so I will use the imperial court to report it, and the world will be clear, and I want to see who dares to question the imperial examination reform system of the gentry in the world."
Li Xingzhi casually ordered, this time Kong Yinzhi wrote the world, but he imitated the old trick of Dolgon in later generations, and lowered the table, depending on most of China, and let the Kong family take the lead in denying the imperial examination system that has been inherited for nearly two hundred years, which is undoubtedly an army of gentry who oppose the six arts of the gentleman in the scientific examination.
If you rebel again, you will be a traitor to Confucius and spurned by the world, if you approve of Kong Yinzhi's handwritten letter, then obediently implement the decision of the true appearance.
