Yu Shenxing pondered for a long time after hearing this, and then bowed his head and said: "Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years!" No wonder Yuyin County wants to set up a new ceremony. ”

Li Sancai sneered at this time: "In any case, it is certain that the scholars are really cheap, and the era of courtesy and respect for the scholars is gone." ”

"What are these words?!"

Yu Shenxing looked at Li Sancai, glared and asked.

Then, Yu Shenxing asked Li Sancai again: "Isn't Your Majesty not respectful enough?!" ”

"In the past, Ye Hanlin was a poor eunuch in the world, and the disadvantages of paying grain and errands made the Son of Heaven issue an edict ordering all living beings in the world to eat and give crowns and belts;"

"Today, Zou has given His Majesty a great opportunity to be summoned by the platform; How many ancient and modern people have been so admonished? ”

"This is not in line with the way of the ministers!"

"That's right! There is no one who treats the scholars better than the Son of Heaven. ”

Yu Maoxue also echoed, and looked at Li Sancai and said: "The public words are inevitably biased, and there is even a suspicion of slandering the Son of Heaven and bullying the king. ”

Li Sancai's face flushed, he found that since the court was purged after several political struggles, most of the rest had been with him and could not talk much about it, which made him miss Gu Xiancheng more and more who resigned and returned to his hometown.

But also because the court is different from before, in order not to be excluded, he had to hurriedly give up his hand and say: "What the princes said is that I made an improper statement. ”

"But what I really mean is that after listening to Zou's advice, His Majesty did not forgive the crime of bribing and disrupting the gentry, and it is obvious that because there are more and more corporal people in the world, and they have always been discordant, even the Son of Heaven no longer covers up the responsibility for the gentry who commit crimes in the world, and also pursues their crimes like the common people.

"According to etiquette, there is no sovereign father in the world, if the monarch treats us like a mustard, shouldn't we treat ourselves with a mustard?"

Zou Yuanbiao asked Li San with a smile at this time.

Li Sancai: "This ......"

Yu Shenxing sighed: "It's obviously a problem with the etiquette!" We are loyal to His Majesty's society, not really to despise ourselves as domestic slaves; ”

"In addition, Your Majesty no longer covers up for the criminal gentry, nor is it a non-serious doctor, but it shows Your Majesty's integrity even more."

"The gentleman's heart should be like a mirror, distinguishing between good and evil, and he is the wise gentleman who holds the right! Your Majesty is doing this now, but it is a gentleman's upright performance, which is in line with the teachings of the ancient sages! ”

Yu Maoxue, some civil officials, all nodded.

Li Sancai frowned slightly, and then had to say to Shen Xing: "It's still extraordinary!" Xiu Wu can't either! ”

Yu Shen returned the salute.

Here, Zou Yuanbiao looked at Yu Yuren: "Yizhong! ”

"Ensuke!"

Yu Yuren hurriedly handed it over.

Zou Yuanbiao said: "If you don't save the teacher, you won't blame you for the teacher, and even the teacher is very happy." ”

After hearing this, Yu Yuren couldn't help but blush.

"The public can't say that, Yizhong has been running for the public these days, and he washes his face with tears every day for the public."

Yu Shenxing had to speak fair for Yu Ren at this time.

Zou Yuanbiao smiled and didn't explain much, but only said to Yu Yuren: "Yizhong, Your Majesty has issued an order to be promoted to the head of the Ministry of Rites. ”

"Congratulations to Ensuke, who has been honored by the Holy Lord!"

Yu Yuren was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly rejoiced.

Yu Shenxing and others were also stunned.

Li Sancai couldn't help but think to himself, can this be promoted to the Qingliu Yamen of the Ministry of Rites? This is much faster than your own career promotion!

Zou Yuanbiao continued: "But he was sent to Burma as a Confucian envoy to preach the benevolence of the Son of Heaven, preach Confucianism and imperial style, and educate barbarians. ”

"Ahh

Yu Yuren was taken by surprise for a while.

Li Sancai couldn't help but blurt out: "So that's the case." ”

Yu Shenxing couldn't help but show sympathy for Zou Yuanbiao, and bowed his hand to Zou Yuanbiao: "Although it is a missionary for the country, but Burma is remote, please be careful, I hope that you will come back fairly, or at that time, you can be appointed as a minister and a minister of the Son of Heaven." ”

"yes!"

Yu Maoxue chimed in.

Zou Yuanbiao saluted Shen Xing and Yu Maoxue, and then looked at Yu Yuren: "You go with the teacher." ”

"Huh?!"

Yu Yuren was shocked, and then said to Zou Yuanbiao: "Enfu Rongyu, students still need to stay in Beijing to prepare for exams, and my father is also in Beijing, so I need students to be filial!" ”

"The holy decree has been issued, you go with the master of Honglu Temple, Bo Guan, as a teacher, and now His Majesty has already issued a decree, and you can take the exam again if you raise people as officials, so you don't have to worry, let's do things for the country first, and after going to Myanmar to give lectures in the future, it can be regarded as a political achievement that can be surpassed."

Zou Yuanbiao said.

Yu Yuren's eyes were like fire, and he suddenly straightened up: "Isn't it because I didn't submit your request for guilt, why do you want to take revenge on me so much, Your Majesty wants to exile you to the land of smoke and miasma, but you want me to go too, is the amount of Gong so narrow?!" ”

Yu Maoxue couldn't help but be stunned, looked at Zou Yuanbiao, and thought that Zou Yuanbiao had planned to ask for guilt, and he was not so rigid.

"Yu Yizhong!"

Yu Shenxing couldn't help but shout at Luo Yizhong at this time, looked at Yu Yuren, and asked, "Is this a gift for you to respect teachers and value education?!" As the son of Yu Youxian, he was born in a family of worship, and he didn't even pay attention to etiquette?! ”

"In addition, why not let you make meritorious contributions, you can also serve your own teacher, which is polite! Wuchen can go to sea to make meritorious contributions, can't Wenchen? ”

Only then did Luo Yizhong realize that he was out of shape, clenched his fists, swallowed, and seemed to suppress the fire in his heart again, and bowed his hand to Zou Yuanbiao and said: "The disciple is disrespectful and rude, please forgive me." ”

Zou Yuanbiao smiled, and then instructed Yu Yuren: "You kneel!" ”

Yu Yuren was slightly stunned.

Yu Shenxing and the others also looked at Yu Ren.

"Yes! Kneeling to receive the training of grace and assistance is also regarded as respecting and re-teaching, and the student is willing to be punished. ”

Yu Yuren knelt down.

Zou Yuanbiao said at this time: "It was Your Majesty who had an edict to convey to you for the teacher, so he asked you to kneel." ”

"I tell you that the culture of the Holy Dynasty should be a strong culture, and the people of the Holy Dynasty should be a strong person. For example, when Bo Wanghou was in the past, he would rather abandon the pen and make fun of the world's merits, rather than sit in the scripture room and wait for others to deduce. ”

After Zou Yuanbiao said in Zhu Yijun's tone, he said to Luo Yuren again: "If you don't believe it, you can ask if the teacher is a false holy decree." ”

"The students didn't dare to believe it."

"When the students receive the commandment, remember the hadith."

Yu Yuren replied with a lonely face.

Yu Shenxing asked Zou Yuanbiao at this time: "Erzhan, did you really prepare a petition and handed it over to Yizhong?" ”

Zou Yuanbiao nodded, and then said with a smile: "Let the princes laugh, I thought I could cover it up, but I didn't expect Yi Zhong to lose his temper and say it." But if it is according to the etiquette system, it is right for me to ask for sin, and it is wrong for the lord to accuse the monarch before. ”

Yu Shenxing, Yu Maoxue and other civil officials all sighed.

"The husband is good at drowning, and the good rider is falling, each according to his own good, but he is in trouble. The person who worships the law the most has become the most hypocritical person. ”

Yu Shenxing then even laughed, and said to Zou Yuanbiao and said: "Maybe it's really the Taishi who knows more about the shortcomings of my Shilin, and His Majesty who is taught by him also knows ourselves better than us, so he is better at correcting the shortcomings of the corporal Lin at the time. Wanggong and Yizhong came back smoothly and changed their minds! ”

Zou Yuanbiao blushed, bowed back to Yu Shenxing, and then left here.

Luo Yizhong also followed.

Five days later, the two went to Myanmar with tears in their families.

……

It is now in the eleventh year of Wanli.

For Daming, it is the coldest time of the year, when few people go out, and luck is sluggish.

And this is also the coldest time in Myanmar.

However, the temperature in the coldest season in Myanmar is also above 20 degrees, but it is the most suitable time for people to travel, and it is also the most suitable time for the Ming cavalry from the north of the Ming Dynasty to fight in Myanmar.

After the summer heat of the 11th year of Wanli passed, Li Rusong led his troops and horses to pass through Annam and Siam on a naval warship and rested in Siam Bangkok as planned.

"Pass on the marshal's order, keep the women without the men, the young without the old, and the people without the officials!"

Li Rusong also drank on the banks of the Nu River at this time, and issued his Jun order according to the instructions given to him by the Privy Council.

Because his troops and horses came to the rear of Burma, and the strategic purpose was to effectively destroy the living forces of Burma before March, so there was no intention of seizing land, only the intention of reducing the number of young and strong people of Burma, especially the number of nobles.
