In March of the twentieth year of orthodoxy, the new imperial examination was officially implemented.

Although the opposition is still strong, there are many supporters.

No one is stupid, how can you not seize the opportunity to turn over?

After nearly a hundred years of development, the gentry class has long been solidified, although the emperor has been working hard to improve the school attendance rate of the people, but for ordinary people, even if they read, it is difficult to get ahead.

The reason for this is that the original gentry class controlled most of the wealth in the world, and the more people who came in, they had to get a piece of the pie, and these people would go all out to eliminate dissidents in order to protect their own interests.

Now it's okay, the old doesn't go, the new doesn't come.

Students from all over the world set off from all over the world and rushed to Beijing.

These people are the fresh blood that Daming urgently needs and the future of Daming.

The traditional scholars were hit too hard, and the remaining forces were almost all concentrated in Donglin Academy, and it seemed that this place had become the last pure land in the world.

Led by the great Confucian Sun Changhe, these people continued to study the Four Books and Five Classics every day, and in their spare time did not forget to criticize the current situation, guide the country and society, and imagine that one day they can make a comeback.

It's just that the hope is getting slimmer.

Zhu Qizhen is very pleased, I have never been short of people in Daming, if you don't come, then there will be no more opportunities.

When the new forces rise, these people from Donglin Academy, together with their Confucian ideas of governing the world, will be completely submerged in the torrent of history.

The great man once said that power comes out of the barrel of a gun, how wise this sentence is!

Looking back, I was still too conservative, often taking into account the feelings of others, and every compromise represented the stagnation of the wheel of history, but now I look back and realize that I only need to kill everything I can, and it doesn't seem to be so difficult.

For the sake of sacrifice and ambition, dare to change the sun and the moon for a new day!

If you choose to compromise again, you are really sorry for the soldiers who followed your side and sacrificed in the counterinsurgency!

In short, whoever dares to touch the tiger's whiskers will be killed!

"Your Majesty, General Shi's recital has arrived."

Wynne hurried over with a note, because the emperor had specially instructed that the note from Wajima Island must be presented to the emperor as soon as possible.

Zhu Qizhen opened it and looked at it, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground.

Tokhokbuhua didn't lie, those Japanese people who took refuge in him were indeed just some defeated daimyo who couldn't get along on the island, that's all.

However, Shi Heng also mentioned a person in the letter, one who is both good.

This person is Guan Bai of the Wa Kingdom, and this official position is roughly equivalent to the prime minister of the Central Plains, holding heavy power.

According to Shi Heng's description, a good yearning for the Central Plains culture since childhood, in the process of growing up, he traveled to China, visited famous teachers, and was even more handy for Confucian classics, even in the Central Plains Shilin, also known as the Great Confucian.

At the end of the recital, there is also a handwritten letter from Kanji.

Zhu Qizhen unfolded the letter paper, and what caught his eye was a vigorous and powerful calligraphy.

It is worthy of having studied the culture of the Central Plains, the handwriting is beautiful, the words are also very particular, and there is a common problem of Confucianism, which is verbose!

Except for a bunch of nonsense at the beginning, the content of the letter is actually very simple, a Kaneliang as a Wa Guo Guan Bai, ready to take his wife Aoi......

Zhu Qizhen was shocked, and looked at it carefully three times, this girl's real surname is Aoi, and her name is Aoi Xinyi.

Ichijo Kaneliang was ready to bring his wife Aoi Xinyi to Beijing to meet him, and claimed that he had treasured a lot of Tang and Song books and was going to dedicate them to the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time, he hoped that the Ming Dynasty would send students from the Academy of Sciences to the Wa Kingdom for exchange and study.

"I know that this Baga is not well-intentioned!"

Zhu Qizhen smiled faintly and put down the letter and the song.

Wynne cautiously asked, "Your Majesty, what is the Eight ...... Yaga? ”

"You don't understand!"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "The next edict will allow a good audience." ”

"Yes, the slave will prepare."

Wynn was still wondering in his heart, what does Yaga mean?

Why did the words come out of the emperor's mouth...... So profound?

Zhu Qizhen is still wondering, what does this Aoi's new clothes look like?

The imperial edict was sent, and the news spread quickly.

Among the scholars, it is still more recognized for a good article, this person studied in the Jiangnan area when he was a child, and made friends with many scholars, even if he is now in a high position, he will still walk between the Jiangnan scholars as a Confucian disciple.

When the news reached Donglin Academy, Sun Changhe seemed to see hope.

"Everyone, it's a blessing, it's a blessing!"

Xia Shaopeng, Cen Guangyao and others hurriedly asked, "What did Mr. say?" ”

Sun Changhe lightly raised his beard under his chin and said, "An old friend of the Japanese country is coming!" ”

Among the students, some of them didn't know a good thing, and they looked a little puzzled.

Xia Shaopeng was older, so he explained: "Although Yi Jian Liang is a Japanese man, he has been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child, and is known as a great Confucian among scholars. ”

Cen Guangyao heard about it for the first time, so he asked, "This person is so famous, how does he compare to Mr. Sun?" ”

"Hey!"

Sun Changhe waved his hand and said: "There is a precedence in hearing the Tao, there is a specialization in the art industry, we are all under the disciples of the saints, reading the books of the sages, the Meiji world, no matter which is higher or lower." ”

Cen Guangyao clasped his fists and saluted: "Mr. is righteous, the student has been taught!" ”

Sun Changhe continued: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Brother Jian Liang for many years, and this time Brother Jian Liang entered Beijing to meet him, he was bound to pass through this place, and he was about to ask for advice at that time. ”

Some minds are quick to react and have already smelled the meaning behind these words.

Today, the emperor is obviously supporting the Academy of Sciences and suppressing the Hanlin Academy, that is, suppressing Confucianism, no matter how ugly it is, the emperor is deviating from the way of the sage!

Isn't it obvious that people have such respect for Confucianism?

If you Zhu Qizhen continue to do this, the things left by the ancestors will be inherited by outsiders.

Throw away the good things of your own family, and as a result, you are regarded as a treasure by outsiders, this kind of thing spreads, are you ashamed to be the emperor?

Sun Changhe's eyes closed slightly, as if he saw hope.

Making good use of the fact that a good one entered Beijing can create momentum and save face for Confucianism.

"Spread the news, and say that Donglin Academy is waiting for the great Confucian of the Japanese country to give a good exchange and lecture."

More people began to react, and after they returned, they used their connections to start building momentum.

Soon, everyone in the country knew that a good one was coming, and he was going to Donglin Academy.

More people flocked to the city, and the Jinyi guards were busy and crazy, and they sent the secret music one by one to the Jingshi.

After Yuan Bin saw it, he didn't dare to slack off and was immediately sent to the palace.

After Zhu Qizhen saw it, his reaction was very calm, and he didn't seem to take it to heart.

"Your Majesty, the minister feels that this momentum is not very good, do you come forward to control it?"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand: "No need, let them toss!" ”
