Chapter 501: The world's scholars don't agree
"I volunteer to join ......"
On the first day of March in the seventh year of Jiajing, under the banner, Yang Yiqing, Xie Qian, Liang Chu, Jiang Mian, Lu Wan, Zhai Luan, Jin Gui...... Hundreds of important ministers of the imperial court of three grades and above solemnly swear!
At the same moment, the same scene was also being staged in the military camps outside the city and even in various military districts, and the generals above the middle level, as well as the soldiers who had made outstanding achievements in the flood fighting and disaster relief, the suppression of bandits, the cracking down on the Japanese bandits, and the protection of the territory and the people, also took an oath under the bright and solemn banner!
The flag of the alliance is drawn by Zhu Houwei himself, a hoe represents thousands of peasant brothers, a hammer represents the emerging working class, and below is two crossed ears of wheat, which means that the members of the Ming League must always put the food of all the people in the world in the first place, and it is also the goal that every member of the league must strive for all their lives.
Beneath the two ears of wheat are five small golden letters.
For the people......
These five words are the highest program of the Ming League!
It is also the unswerving belief that every qualified member of the Ming League should engrave in his bones.
Daming opened a new chapter in history at this moment, from this moment on, any official who wants to be promoted must not only look at the performance and evaluation, but also look at the performance of duties within the alliance, how to evaluate the performance of duties within the alliance, please see the alliance!
This is an epoch-making change, which means that the political situation of the Ming Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes, but today, including all the members of the alliance, do not understand the purpose of Emperor Jiajing to establish the Ming League, and even treat this move as a joke, thinking that the emperor likes to play, so he will play with him.
Only Zhu Houwei himself understands the great significance of the establishment of the political alliance, and it can even be said that the emergence of the political alliance is the most solid step forward for social civilization, and the political alliance is the biggest prerequisite for realizing the politics of the hypocrite.
Of course, it is absolutely impossible for a hypocritical political system to emerge in Zhu Houwei's Jiajing Dynasty, unless the civilization process of the Ming Dynasty has developed to a stage where Zhu Houwei must let go.
But the Confucian ministers were not fools, and they were very keen to capture the deep meaning that might be contained in the words of the Son of Heaven.
This sentence is that members of the African Union are not allowed to participate in politics!
This sentence does not sound unusual at first glance, it is not much different from the life members set by Emperor Taizu, and if it is not necessary, the emperor will not be able to move out such a clause to convict scholars.
Emperor Jiajing once disposed of Guozijian on the grounds that the students were not allowed to discuss politics, but that time there was a special reason, so it could not be counted......
This time, another member of the African League is not allowed to discuss politics, and all the officials are not taken seriously, you must know that there are tens of thousands of officials today, and how many officials are members of the League today?
Officials who are not members of the league are not allowed to participate in politics, so are they still called officials?
Of course, there is still a three-year trial period for this measure, which means that it will not be officially implemented until the tenth year of Jiajing, but it still seems unrealistic in the eyes of officials.
But the officials captured three key points!
First, after three years, the members of the African Union will not be allowed to discuss politics, does it mean that the officials who fail to join the alliance after three years will be kicked out of the officialdom!
Second, not all members of the league are officials, according to the big net cast by the emperor, who can become a member of the league does not look at their background, that is to say, Shinong industry and commerce and even ordinary people have the qualifications to become league members, joining the league will only depend on personal ideological consciousness and how much practical things have been done for the people, and the league members will not be limited to officialdom.
Third, on the basis of the second point, the problem arises......
Throughout the ages, Confucianism has always dominated the discourse of the court and controlled the authority of the whole world, and now Emperor Jiajing has made such a come, does it mean that from now on, the dominant court will become the Ming League, not Confucianism!
If a large number of non-Shi members of the alliance are flooded with officialdom in the future, once the influence of Confucianism cannot be suppressed, then what will be the situation!
Obviously, this has touched the fundamental interests of Confucianism and even Taoism!
This is also the most difficult change for Confucian officials to accept!
Emperor Jiajing's will could not be disobeyed, but the emperor thought that he would dig up the roots of Confucianism by using this means of encroachment!
How can anyone in the world say yes!
Yang Yiqing, the first assistant of the cabinet, is now sad to find out that Yang Ting and Ding Wei are hiding in their hometown in the name of writing books and sayings, how wise it is to refuse to return to the court, the mess of the court and the pressure of the mountains are piled up on him, and he is almost out of breath.
Obviously, the current foreign court is extremely dissatisfied with the cabinet, believing that the cabinet has become the emperor's echo worm, and there is no idea of its own at all, and the cabinet that should exist to limit the imperial power is not to be said to be a restriction now, and even the vital interests of foreign officials are almost impossible to pretend.
Of course, in the past, the emperor's various measures did not threaten the foundation of Confucianism after all, even if it was the reform of the imperial examination, it was still dominated by Confucianism, and it was also based on the words of the sages.
What now?
The emperor formed the Ming League, which will inevitably become the largest alliance in the world, and will inevitably become the ruling alliance of the Ming Dynasty.
But not now!
The emperor set up the ruling alliance, and everyone in the world has the opportunity to join the alliance, which is to put it bluntly, it is to mix sand into the officialdom and completely solve the situation of the Confucian family's dominance!
How ridiculous!
The world's Confucian scholars have studied hard for more than ten years, and they have worked hard to cross the single-plank bridge to have the opportunity to govern the world's politics.
What's the point of reading!
The emperor does not convene a court meeting, and ordinary officials do not even have the opportunity to meet the holy face, so the appeal from the officials can only find the cabinet, after all, the cabinet ministers can meet the emperor at any time, if the cabinet cannot persuade the emperor to withdraw his order or make changes, such as only allowing scholars to join the alliance, then the cabinet ministers have a fart!
In the Ming Dynasty, it is the lifelong goal of all officials to enter the cabinet and become an auxiliary minister of the Ming Dynasty, but just a tradition of not entering the cabinet has made nine out of ten officials in the world have no hope of entering the cabinet.
This was a tragedy for many officials of the Ming Dynasty, but today, officials all over the world suddenly found that the cabinet officials of the Jiajing Dynasty seemed to be even more unlucky......
Yang Yiqing, who was anxious, leaned back in his chair after driving away a group of officials who came to the cabinet to shout.
Exhausted and physically and mentally exhausted has become the truest portrayal of Yang Yiqing at the moment......
One after another, the officials of the various yamen came to the cabinet in batches, as they had discussed a long time ago, and the purpose was self-evident.
They just want to force the cabinet to negotiate with the emperor, and finally get back their fate!
But this is a policy that Emperor Jiajing painstakingly came up with, and wants the emperor to abolish it?
Easier said than done!
