"Power is poison, it is the most disorienting thing, when I sit on that chair and decide to change the blood of Da Ming, no one can stop me!"

Zhu Houzhao said the most ruthless words in a light and breezy tone.

He didn't want to find any high-sounding reasons for himself, everything he did was for his own imperial power, and all the power groups touched his interests, and they would be suppressed or even destroyed, which was simple and rude.

As he himself said, power is poison, and it is the most poisonous poison in the world, once it is contaminated, it is impossible to get rid of it.

In order to keep their rights, the various power groups want to go against him, and he wants to overthrow the various power groups for the sake of the exclusive power of the emperor, all because of the imbalance of power, no one is willing to take a step back, and the result can only be the survival of one side and the destruction of the other.

"Your Majesty's future is limitless, but it will be so difficult to pity the world's scholars!

Li Dongyang said sadly, Zhu Houzhao's change can make Zhu Houzhao achieve the supremacy of imperial power, and it can also benefit hundreds of people, but it is not easy for scholars, without the many preferential policies of the imperial court, scholars want to think about unscrupulous misdeeds, but it is a pipe dream.

Qinglou drinks flower wine, makes money with fame, has nothing to do, has nothing to do with the temple, has something to do, is chic and romantic, and all kinds of superior life in the past will no longer exist.

"The teacher is wrong again, it is the era of scholars who talk about misleading the country has passed, and future readers should be pragmatic."

"Since the Song Dynasty, the way of scholars has gone crooked, wind and snow, talk nonsense, enclosure to make money, they are very proficient, but few are willing to be pragmatic, looking at countless books in the world, how many people can really do things for the people and the court?"

"What I want to do is to guide them back to the right path from the crooked path, and becoming an official is not to provide them with an opportunity to make money in a big way, but to let them show what they have learned in their chests and do more practical things for the country and the court."

Zhu Houzhao has no prejudice against scholars, after all, it is up to scholars to govern the country, but he doesn't like the science disciples who have been handed down from the Song Dynasty and don't know how to do personnel at all, and only talk about what they want all day long.

And this is also the biggest reason why he wants to support Wang Yangming's psychology, according to the theory of science, Daming will only become more and more smoky. Most of the science is used to fool the people at the bottom, and when it is used to govern the country, it is digging its own grave.

“......”

Li Dongyang was speechless, correcting the reader's crooked path, not because he had no confidence in Zhu Houzhao, but because it was too difficult to operate, and it was not realistic at all.

Since the great prosperity of Cheng Zhu Lixue, countless scholars have pursued more and more science, and the concept expounded by science is very much in line with the interests and needs of the superiors, so it has led to the more and more outrageous science has been spread, and now, the study of Confucius and Mencius has been suppressed by science, and the scholars who were born as disciples of science abound.

If you want to correct the crooked path of readers, unless the science is destroyed, the stinky problem of readers will always exist, and to destroy a school that has been passed down for hundreds of years and is sought after by countless readers, does Zhu Houzhao have the courage? That's going to stink for 10,000 years.

Unfortunately, Li Dongyang himself is also a disciple of science, but compared with those science officials who like to make money and enclose land, he has a better reputation and attaches great importance to his reputation, so he will be mired in the quagmire of the civilian-official group and cannot extricate himself.

He was afraid that after a hundred years, his reputation would become infamous under the influence of the civilian clique, after all, Zhu Houzhao, the tyrant in the eyes of the civil clique, was his student.

For the sake of his own feathers, he had to repeatedly speak for the civilian clique, just begging that the civilian clique could leave him a clear name after his death.

"The teacher is here to speak for the readers!"

Although Li Dongyang did not say the purpose of seeing him, Zhu Houzhao also guessed it, and he was extremely disappointed in this.

Restricted by the civil official group, Liu Jian, Xie Qian, and Li Dongyang are the same, he can't understand how they can even be afraid of some officials whose official status is far lower than theirs!

"The minister is old!"

This is Li Dongyang's answer, which is very simple, but it also illustrates many problems.

The civil official group, although it nominally includes all the civil officials, in fact there is no real leader, and they will only be grouped together because of the issue of interests, and the existence of Li Dongyang can completely ignore the civilian official group, but he has to make trouble with the civil official group, what magic does the civil official group have, can make him spare no effort to contribute to the civilian group?

The reason is nothing more than three points, one of them, for the sake of fame, I don't want to be slandered and retaliated by the civil official group after death, he Li Dongyang has done his best for the Ming Dynasty all his life, but he also had an unbearable past when he was young, and the handle was held by the civilian official group.

Second, he is afraid of the huge power of the civilian-official clique, and the civilian-official clique alone is nothing, but all of them add up, and it is definitely not a big deal to kill him Li Dongyang.

Third, for the sake of his family, he is old after all, and he doesn't have a few years to live, if he dies, what if the civilian clique turns its head to take revenge on his family, he is not sure whether Zhu Houzhao, a student with a cold nature, will shelter his children and grandchildren.

The combination of various reasons is the reason why Li Dongyang is deeply trapped in the civilian-official clique and cannot extricate himself, and there are many people like him, all of whom have the ambition to serve the country, but they are afraid of the deterrent power of the civilian-official clique.

"I see!"

Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath and let go of the little bit of mustard for Li Dongyang, no matter whether Li Dongyang stood with the civil official group or not, the ending could not be changed, so why did he fall out with his teacher.

Li Dongyang used to be kind to him, and he helped him a lot at the beginning of his ascension, although it has been a long time, but he still remembers the kindness, and with that kindness, he has no reason to treat Li Dongyang like Liu Jian and Xie Qian.

"The old minister is old, he can't help His Majesty anymore, and keeping it will only cause chaos to His Majesty, I implore Your Majesty to allow the old minister to return to his hometown."

Sandwiched between Zhu Houzhao and the civil official group, Li Dongyang is also tired, and it is not a good ending for him to resign and return to his hometown.

It is also the last thing he can do for Zhu Houzhao, a student, Liu Jianxie moved away, he returned to his hometown to retire, the three giants with the highest status and the greatest influence of the civil official group have all left the court, and it will be difficult for the civil official group to resist Zhu Houzhao's suppression.

It is true that the civilian clique represents the overall interests of the majority of civil servants, but without a qualified leader, although the civilian clique cannot talk about a plate of loose sand, it cannot afford to turn up much storm.

Today's court, Yang Yiqing, Yang Tinghe, Yan Song, Wang Wei, Fei Hong and others all have the potential to become the leaders of the civil official group, but in the current situation, they are too late to hide from the civil official group, how can they take the initiative to get together, with a group of officials with low status, they want to make waves, and the civil official group does not have that ability.

"Teacher, why are you doing this!"

Zhu Houzhao sighed slightly.

"Lao Chen failed to make much contribution to the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty in his life, but the old minister cultivated a male lord for the Ming Dynasty, a son of heaven who can bring the Ming Dynasty to its peak, and the old minister has no regrets in his life."

Li Dongyang showed a smug smile on his face, and said the most heart-to-heart words in his life with Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao's coldness and ruthlessness is something he doesn't like, but Zhu Houzhao's eloquence is something he admires, this student, he doesn't like it, but he is very satisfied.
