Not long after, the Cabinet of Ministers, knowing the Holy Will, requested that the court of deliberations on the Cabinet of Scholars and the discussion of the list of names and assistants in the Cabinet be held in the Wenyuan Pavilion.

Zhu Yijun naturally approved.

With the cooperation of the cabinet, he is indeed much more relaxed, so he doesn't have to work too hard and do everything himself.

And all he has to do is give Zhang Juzheng honor and honor to Gao Gong.

These things don't seem to be real government affairs, but they are indeed the most important things that the emperor needs to do, and they are things that set the tone.

And on the day of the Tingtui Ting Meeting.

The officials of the court and the central government all went to Wenyuan Pavilion, and they all saw the high arches hanging on both sides of the statue of Confucius and the statue of Zhang Juzheng.

In particular, Wang Xijue and Shen Carp stopped to watch for the longest time.

And Zhang Xueyan, the head of the household, is also very hot-eyed.

Because according to the new system after Wanli's accession to the throne, it is no longer a scholar and a royal history who are not talented and outstanding, and they are not qualified to enter the cabinet, but there must be a scholar and a royal history to enter the cabinet, so as not to leave the place and be unfamiliar with general affairs.

Therefore, Zhang Xueyan knew that although he was not from Hanlin Qingliu, he also had the hope of entering the cabinet now, so he decided to push the cabinet ministers who were not from Hanlin and came from the state department to enter the cabinet when the court discussed the famous assistants of the past dynasties.

With the expansion of the cabinet, Zhang Juzheng, Gao Gong, and Zhao Zhenji were also listed in the royal Wenyuan Pavilion, which was revered by the country, and marked that the Ming Dynasty was at the central level, while continuing to walk on the road of reform, while at the local level, it was still trying to go back to the old line.

In a college in Jizhou.

Wu Zhongxing, who was exiled here, was lecturing here at this time.

Due to Zhang Juzheng's death, many conservative local bureaucrats took the initiative to relax supervision, and Wu Zhongxing's former disobedience to his mentor Zhang Juzheng also wanted to oppose the seizure of affection, which has long been famous all over the world, and has been highly respected by people and doctors who abide by the etiquette system all over the world.

Therefore, there are more and more scholars who come to visit Wu Zhongxing.

Wu Zhongxing also took this opportunity to preach his own knowledge in order to achieve the purpose of making a statement.

What Wu Zhongxing advocates is that etiquette systems such as general ethics should be strictly observed, and that etiquette is more important than the rule of law, which is different from Yu Youding.

Yu Youding felt that the existing rites were not suitable for the state, and wanted to build a new rite, that is, a new national value, and find a theoretical and reasonable explanation for the Ming Dynasty's foreign expansion, such as the land and garrison of the Japanese state in Korea, and even the stationing of officials.

Wu Zhongxing, on the other hand, was purely advocating the old rites, and used it to oppose the reform and criticize the New Deal.

After all, reform is to revolutionize the interests of big landlords and big bureaucrats.

Of course, Wu Zhongxing didn't feel that he had done anything wrong.

He felt that at present, hundreds of officials and even scholars attacked each other, and even everyone corrupted the Gangchang, because of the light courtesy and heavy profit, and even his mentor Zhang Juzheng did not hesitate to abolish the etiquette and reform the system for power, so that the Manchu Dynasty did not talk about righteousness and etiquette, but talked about the pros and cons, so that the national policy was designed for profit.

"At present, the harsh government is rampant, the etiquette is chaotic, and the urgent task is to abolish the harsh government, and rebuild the ethical program, the country must not respect etiquette, and the people must not abide by the program."

"The first person who should be abolished is to pass the examination, and it is not polite to treat the countrymen and cultivate the virtue of talents."

"Secondly, the regulations on reinstatement and exemption will not disturb the system of ancestral cultivators with benefits."

"In the end, we should abandon the government of poor soldiers and militarism, follow the ancestral system of not levying the Japanese state, and withdraw the officers and soldiers stationed in the Japanese to save money, so that the country will not be able to eat food and not be able to defend the nine sides because of the restoration of the system of preferential exemption and exemption of soldiers."

Wu Zhongxing was in the academy at this time, and put forward his own views on the topic of whether the New Deal should be abolished or only part of the New Deal should be abolished.

Since Zhang Juzheng's death, local bureaucrats have taken the initiative to relax supervision, which has led to the resurgence of the practice of discussing politics through lectures, rather than just lectures.

This, of course, is inherently difficult to contain.

Because there was no recording equipment in this era, these people would not leave their arguments on paper, and it was difficult for the factory guards to keep an eye on a group of scholars and exiled officials who did not pose a specific threat every day.

Therefore, Wu Zhongxing and others can continue to criticize current affairs.

"The public may not know that this autumn, the Shang has set up a museum for Jiangling in the Hanlin Academy under the supervision of Guozi, and invited him from Zhang Puzhou to enjoy the Taimiao!"

At this time, the scholar Qin Hongzhi said to Wu Zhongxing at this time.

Wu Zhongxing immediately sank his face: "I already know!" Puzhou can be described as a villain, as for Your Majesty, it should have been bowed, how could he personally go down to speak for the promiscuity of the power traitor, presumably instigated by the remnants of the Zhang Party in the DPRK, and the Son of Heaven does not know the roots! ”

"However, Xingming Academy should be abolished, and the remnants of Zhang Dang in the inner court don't know how to instigate the Son of Heaven, so they actually set up their own academy, so who is the protégé of the Son of Heaven?"

"Isn't it deliberately making the Son of Heaven form a private party, so that the Son of Heaven cannot be upright?"

"This is undoubtedly a mess!"

Wu Zhongxing said.

"Why do you want to scrap this?"

"I don't agree with what Mr. said!"

Ye Xianggao, a scholar who also came to Jizhou to listen to the lecture, stood up at this time, replied, and said:

"As far as I know, Your Majesty set up Xingming Academy to adopt the orphans of fallen soldiers, and to teach them to make them successful, so that the front-line soldiers who kill the enemy have no worries! If there is no academy, will the orphans of the soldiers really have to sit back and watch them become homeless people and be eaten out of their homes?! ”

"In the opinion of his later life, His Majesty's establishment of the academy is conducive to the long-term good governance of the country, and it is also a benevolent government that is sympathetic to the soldiers.

Ye Xianggao asked as he spoke: "As for the protégé of the Son of Heaven, do you have to be admitted to the Jinshi to be the protégé of the Son of Heaven?" ”

"Who are you, and what right do you have to question the words of the gentleman?!"

At this time, Qin Hongzhi stood up, looked at Ye Xianggao and asked.

"That's right, what qualifications do you have?!"

Many of the scholars present questioned Ye Xianggao.

Wu Zhongxing's face also changed at this time, coughed a few times, and asked: "The soldier is orphaned, he has his own plan to make a division to pay for it, and the Son of Heaven personally set up a academy to cultivate, what is the difference between cultivating Yu Xing?" ”

"It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish!"

"Late born is a military child, the ancestors are granted military fields because they are military households, so that they can cultivate and read heirlooms, so that today they can be eunuchs for generations, it can be said that there is no dynasty without their own clan, from the perspective of the country, it is really difficult to agree with Mr. 's point of view, saying that the adoption of orphans is to cultivate luck, Mr. This is undoubtedly denying all military orphans!"

After Ye Xianggao said this, he bowed his hand to Wu Zhongxing: "Farewell!" ”

Ye Xianggao said and left here.

The current Ye Xianggao is only in his twenties, so it is the time when his blood is strong, and he has not yet reached the point where he has lost his heart when he has been affected by the dull and conservative situation in history.

In addition, he was indeed born in the military household of the Fuqing Guard in Fujian, and was born during the Japanese rebellion and relied on Qi Jiguang to calm the Japanese rebellion before returning to his hometown, which was mentioned in his personal notes, which shows that his parents often told him, so that he had a good impression of this matter, and because of this, he is not so conservative, high-spirited, and dares to speak out.

Just as in history, when he first entered the cabinet, he was able to support Xu Minshi's official and gentry in Jiangnan to pay food and pay for the errand, but he was not so old-fashioned, but was willing to start from the interests of the country and accept the new system.

And he's leaving here in a rage now.

Li Tingji, a fellow villager who came with him, caught up with him: "Why are you angry, Mr. Fu'an is also worried that the people who came out of the Son of Heaven's own academy may be more valued, and affect the children of other scholars." ”

"After the martyrs die in battle, shouldn't they be taken more seriously?"

"Just as the important ministers will be valued later because of their grace and entry into the country."

Ye Xianggao said.

"Mr. doesn't have to pay attention to him, now he is waiting for the court to reinstate Mr. as an official, and he can set things right."

"Such a move, when Mr. next year recovers, he should remind those who are officials in the same dynasty that they don't have to let the first one be that they still only know how to speak for their military children, and they don't know that they are already from Shilin."

And Qin Hongzhi also said to Wu Zhongxing at this time.

Wu Zhongxing only glanced at Ye Xianggao, and then asked Qin Hongzhi: "Is there any news from the imperial court?" ”

Wu Zhongxing is still more concerned about when he will be reinstated.

As soon as Wu Zhongxing finished asking, suddenly, a scholar got up and shouted: "Jinyi Guard! ”

Qin Hongzhi subconsciously asked Wu Zhongxing: "Could it be that Jinyiwei came to announce Mr. Fu's will?" ”

Wu Zhongxing also stood up quite excitedly.

Oh, a large group of brocade guards had already rushed directly into the academy.

"There is a will! Wu Zhong bribed the courtiers, secretly formed a party faction, drilled the camp to bring disaster to the country, and was immediately arrested and brought into Beijing! ”
