The emperor boasted about himself there.

Jiang Mian turned a deaf ear even if he heard it, since the founding of the country, the Ming Dynasty has been harassed by the barbarians in the north, and he wants to change the pattern just by relying on the trains and railways in front of him?

Isn't that a little too beautiful?

Then it will enter the big gift discussion.

Before Zhu Si retired from the three major scholars of the cabinet, he specially reminded: "I have already prepared the tent for the ceremony, and at the same time arrange some people to record, who is willing to join in the debate, just enter."

Liu Chun said, "Your Majesty, if you use folk scholars to participate in the ceremony, I'm afraid that you will ······· It's not in line with the courtesy."

Zhu Si frowned: "Elder Liu Ge, I said it before, why did I change my hexagram again?" May I ask what is wrong with the etiquette?" Liu Chun looked at the two next to him and found that except for himself, no one wanted to be a leader today.

"Your Majesty, it is not to follow the rules and manners of etiquette and etiquette when scholars and courtiers discuss politics together, and Your Majesty should not set such a precedent." Liu Chun continued his rhetoric. "Hmph-"

Zhu Si snorted coldly: "Elder Liu Ge means that the arrangements I made before have destroyed the ancestral regulations of the Ming Dynasty, right? In that case, let's set up two camps, and we can argue with each other "in the air", where there is a novel point of view, and the person in charge of recording can quickly spread the news to the other side, and so on."

"Your Majesty·····." Liu Chun expressed dissatisfaction with this.

Zhu Si got angry and asked loudly, "Liu Qingjia, what else do you want?" I've already made concessions, and besides, the reason is not clear, is my current arrangement rude? That's all!"

After saying that, he brushed his sleeves away, and it seemed that the good mood brought by the ceremony was all destroyed because of Liu Chun's aggressiveness. ......

The three members of the Cabinet stepped down from the viewing platform.

Jiang Mian's heart was full of confusion at this time, how did Liu Renzhong change his sex today?

Obviously, this person, like Jiang Mian, is a pawn arranged by the emperor in the cabinet, why do the two of them have such a big opinion when facing the emperor's decision-making? Shouldn't it be a gesture?

If Liu Renzhong really showed the attitude in front of him and was consistent with the civil official group, even if Mao Ji was not in the capital, I am afraid that this great ceremony would not develop in the direction expected by the emperor.

Does it depend on a Huang Li? Add another Zhang Xuan? There is no one else in the imperial party?

"Zhongtang, the ceremony has already begun, do you want to go and watch?"

A minister came over and saluted Jiang Mian.

This person is Wu Yipeng, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites.

Since Jia Yong transferred the Ministry of Officials to the left attendant, Wu Yipeng has just been promoted from the position of the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and the new right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, Zhu Xizhou, is still on the way to Beijing in Nanjing.

At this juncture, the emperor made changes to the positions of several servants in the six ministries, apparently to weaken the limelight of the orthodox civil official forces in the Great Rites Discussion, but the situation is that no matter how the emperor moves, he can't change the reality that the mainstream civil servants in the court support the theory of "succession to succession".

Jiang Mian saw that Wu Yipeng directly ignored Fei Hong and Liu Chun, the two ministers, and felt quite unbearable, so he looked back at Fei Hong and the others, "Let's go and have a look."

"This······ Why don't you wait?" Fei Hong made a suggestion.

It's not that I won't go, but I'll go again after a while, at least to see the specific trends of the big ceremony before attending.

Jiang Mian immediately understood Fei Hong's intentions, and said to Wu Yipeng: "Nanfu, now that people in the cabinet are not allowed to participate in the ceremony too early, this is equivalent to admitting that this matter is negotiable······ It's better for the Ministry of Rites and Han Yuan to make arrangements first, and then if necessary, we will participate later."

Wu Yipeng nodded, feeling that Jiang Mian's words were very reasonable.

The cabinet represents the whole of the civil servants, and if they go to participate in the ceremony at this time, they will give the imperial party a truth. "Then go first."

It was only at this time that Wu Yipeng saluted Fei Hong and Liu Chun, respectfully retreated, and went to the large tent behind the viewing platform.

·····

A debate on the Great Rites has officially begun.

Many literati came that day, most of whom had no official qualities, or had a slight status in the court, and some even showed off their talents

I didn't have any fame, but I heard that the speaker today was not guilty and everyone could participate, so those who thought they had insight all ran over and wanted to show something.

There were thousands of literati in the Gyeonggi region who came to participate in the ceremony without being invited by the imperial court, and this was only the first batch to receive the number.

Because you need to "lottery" to participate in the Great Rites Conference, you need to conduct an assessment in advance, and you can't say that you don't even know a word, and you can't even say a bad word, so you are allowed to participate in such a sacred debate, at least you have to come up with a suitable point of view, so that people feel a little insightful, and then you are allowed to sign up.

After registration, because there are too many people, there is still a need for a "lottery", which means that the debate can be held several times, or even for several days in a row, and the first person to attend must not only have insight, but also have to try their luck.

Originally, these people thought that they could participate in the debate with important officials such as the Ministry of Rites of the DPRK and the Hanlin Academy, and they were full of ambition, but when they came, they found that the place prepared for them was not the same as the place specially prepared for officials who were born in Jinshi.

This has left a lot of people disappointed.

But because there are people around them who have special records, they know that if their views can be appreciated by the high-level, not necessarily by the emperor, even if they support the "succession to the throne", they can also get the support of the mainstream of civil officials, and maybe they can not pass the imperial examination to soar to the top. Most of those who have this kind of thinking are from prison students, and they themselves have the qualifications to be officials, but because of their low status and little opportunity and future, they want to show their faces well.

......

......

Before noon, the debate on the Great Rites Discussion was in full swing.

Zhu Si did not go to discuss the ceremony in person, but there was a fan from Dongchang sent by Huang Jin here, who would continue to truthfully inform Zhu Si of the on-site debate, so he could grasp the information in time.

「······ How? Those ordinary scholars have a lot of support for my views, right?" Zhu Si saw Huang Jin come in and asked excitedly.

In Zhu Si's thoughts, those scholars who have not been officials, in order to win attention, most of them will choose a different direction from the orthodox view, and only by finding another way can they have a chance to ascend to the throne, after all, there is no better shortcut than supporting the "weak" emperor.

Zhang Zuo reminded: "Your Majesty, this is not your opinion, but a spontaneous opinion among ministers."

Zhu Si smiled and patted his head: "Yes, yes, yes, I am confused, Jingdao has reminded me many times, to make people feel that I just provided a platform for the government and the opposition to express their views, and did not participate in it······ What the hell is going on?"

Huang Jin poured a basin of cold water on the emperor's head: "Your Majesty, it seems that at present······ Those who support the argument that there is no succession are still ······ There are only a handful." "Huh?"

Zhu Si's face instantly became embarrassed, and he blushed and asked, "Why is this happening?" Doesn't that mean that many people will be on my side?"

Huang Jindao: "The slaves sent people to inquire about some people who participated in the ceremony, but they secretly visited, according to their statement, no matter what, they could not change the definition of the great ceremony by the Chinese courtiers, and it was not easy to win His Majesty's appreciation with the public ceremony, and if it was not integrated into the scholars because of its strange views, it might cut off the road to the imperial examination, and the gains outweighed the losses."

"Bastard!"

Zhu Si was so angry that he slapped the table on the spot.

Zhang Zuo was a little regretful on the side: "These scholars, they haven't achieved fame and fortune yet, but their ability to steer the rudder when they see the wind is not low, what do they think about all day long? Don't they know······ No matter which way you become an official in the future, will you end up being an official for Your Majesty?"

Zhu Si was so angry that he paced back and forth, and only after a long time did he calm down, pointing at Huang Jin and saying, "Don't worry, as long as anyone has a good point of view and good intentions, I will reward him on the spot and give him an official position······ I believe it won't be long before they follow suit."

Huang Jin reminded: "Your Majesty, if you rashly give an official, will it ······ Changing the established strategy for today's ceremony?" At this time, Huang Jin was under tremendous pressure.

The emperor is angry, and his actions seem to be very capricious, but in fact, Zhu Hao has a clear plan, today he is just spreading the content of the argument in the internal circle, regardless of right or wrong, only personal opinions, even if he wants to be rewarded, he will not show it until the debate is over

The emperor listened to his subordinates from a position of fairness, justice and neutrality.

As soon as the emperor came up, didn't it mean that the emperor had a biased position? Zhu Si frowned and said, "That... What if I rewarded both?"

Huang Jin was quite helpless: "If this is the case, I am afraid to support the people on the other side······ There will be more." Zhu Si was speechless for an instant.

Think about it too.

If you want to guide public opinion, the best way is to reward those who support the idea of "succession is not succession", but this will put the emperor in the whirlpool of public opinion.

But if both sides are rewarded, and others can be rewarded for supporting orthodox public opinion, then why go against mainstream public opinion? "If you can't do it······ Bring me the way of respect!"

"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhu is not here."

"Didn't he hide behind the scenes to make sure the opening ceremony of the train went smoothly? How could it not be?" "After the train entered the station smoothly and began to unload, Mr. Zhu went back to the city, and he is indeed not there now."

"Okay, then call Mr. Tang······ It's so depressing. If there is a respectful way by my side at this time, why am I in such a hurry? I didn't know it at all.

The task of inviting Tang Yin fell to Zhang Zuo.

Zhang Zuo took the emperor's order to find Tang Yin in the crowd, at this time Tang Yin was being embarrassed by a group of scholars from the Hanlin Academy, they did not enter the big tent to participate in the ceremony, but found the lone Tang Yin to shoot, and said to his face that Tang Yin violated the principle of etiquette for scholars, and criticized Tang Yin.

There are even accusations that he did not set up correct norms for the emperor since he was a child.

Tang Yin looked innocent.

I'm just here to join in the fun today, what are you guys doing here?

Originally, Tang Yin expected Zhang Xuan to come out and say a few words for him, but as soon as Zhang Xuan heard that the Great Rites Discussion had begun, everyone ran away, and it was estimated that he went to express his opinion.

Anyway, Zhu Hao only said that he would let Zhang Xuan cooperate with Huang Zhan, but he didn't say that he would not be allowed to come out to express his views, he thought that no matter where he was an official in the past few years, he had devoted himself to studying the theory of "succession without succession", and received the full support of Gui Cao and others, and summed up a complete set of theories.

Nominally, Huang Zan is in charge of the overall situation, but your Huang Zan is eloquent and eloquent. I'm relying on strength to get to the top.

"The master of ceremonies, Grandpa Zhang, is here!" A word of caution. A group of people from the Hanlin Academy were stunned.

They are full of confidence against Tang Yin, but they have to line Zhang Zuo, the eunuch who is the master of ceremonies······ They asked themselves if they had that ability, so the crowd dispersed quickly, and Zhang Zuo "rescued" Tang Yin without much effort.
