As soon as Zhu Yijun's words fell, only the midwinter wind was whistling outside, and the ruling ministers of the Imperial Division did not dare to speak lightly and were silent.

The eunuch Zhang Hong, the eunuch who was in charge of the seal, only caught Zhu Yijun's robe that he suddenly took off, and waved his hand to signal the handyman to add some charcoal.

At this time, Zhu Yijun continued to stare at the ruling ministers and asked: "I have never dared to regard the subjects of the world as a mustard, but why do some people regard me as an enemy?" So much so that I spend the money I have rightfully obtained, and in his eyes, I am doing evil deeds! ”

Zhu Yijun said and suddenly smiled bitterly again: "I originally thought that they just didn't treat the people as people, and they didn't treat Mr. and his heirs and other scholars who were not in the same party as them, and they still knew and respected me, the monarch; Dare to be affectionate, they don't even treat me, the monarch's father, as a human being! Even I, the monarch, have no right to dispose of his rightful income, and he is also a slave under the old rites they demand, worse than slaves, but cattle and horses that can be sacrificed for their rites at any time! ”

"What's the point of such an emperor in front of you."

"Such a Da Ming should die!"

For a while, Zhu Yijun shouted these two sentences with a loud voice, and these words made Shen Shixing and other ruling ministers tremble.

"Your Majesty is angry!"

"Please also ask Your Majesty to retract this!"

Shen Shixing hurriedly knelt down first, and shouted with tears streaming down his face, then kowtowed to the ground and said a word.

In addition to Hai Rui, Wang Xijue and other ruling ministers also knelt down.

Because they were all shocked by the emperor's words.

It was like a thunderclap, making them all a little confused.

It's just that Hai Rui couldn't help but ask at this time: "Your Majesty really wants to be Yao Shunhu?" ”

Zhu Yijun looked at Hai Rui with a cold gaze.

Shen Shixing and the others also looked at Hai Rui.

Hai Rui arched his hand at this time and said: "If Your Majesty really wants to be Yao Shun, he should be the dog and horse of the world, naturally he has no selfish property and selfish desires, and the purpose of this sincerity and science is also!" ”

"I am me, I don't want to be Yao Shun!"

Zhu Yijun replied with a calm face.

Hai Rui couldn't help but take a step back, closed his eyes slightly, and then said: "No wonder Your Majesty re-salutes, it is himself who refuses to be a dog and horse for the world!" ”

"Although I don't want to be the holy monarch of Yao Shun, I dare to raise my eyebrows and point coldly at Qianfu, and I am willing to be a son of a cow."

"But this is just what I want to do, not really want to become Yao Shun."

"I'm me!"

Zhu Yijun stared at Hai Ruiyan and said.

"I want to die!"

Hai Rui suddenly fell to his knees and sobbed.

Zhu Yijun asked instead: "Why is Qing crying?" ”

"Your Majesty's treatment of his ministers is sincere and benevolent, and he also treats the people of the world with sincerity and benevolence, and even treats foreigners with the intention of practicing the true way of mercy and salvation! It can be said that the Holy Lord Renjun who is closest to Yao Shun is also! ”

"In the hearts of the ministers, the monarch who can get close to Yao Shun is Emperor Taizu Gao!"

"But now the minister thinks that the one who is closer to Yao Shun than Emperor Taizu Gao is Your Majesty!"

Hai Rui is indeed a loyal fan of Zhu Yuanzhang, and he has always practiced himself according to Zhu Yuanzhang's requirements for scholars, so he will also say that Zhu Yuanzhang is closest to Yao Shun at this time.

But Zhu Yijun didn't expect Hai Rui to think that he was closer to Yao Shun than Zhu Yuanzhang, that is, the most ideal monarch image in the hearts of these literati.

That's right, the scholars of this era have their own ideal image of the monarch, and this image is Yao Shun.

Zhang Juzheng's lifelong ambition is to make the monarch Yao Shun, so in history, in order to make Zhu Yijun become Yao Shun, he was so strict that he was overkill, so that Zhu Yijun could not experience the happiness of being an emperor at all.

After all, if it weren't for the self-blowing up of the Ming Dynasty, it would not have been too lazy to appoint the important officials of the six prefectures, and even the prefects and county officials would not have bothered to appoint them, resulting in more and more lawlessness among the local squires and officials, and the land annexation would have become more serious.

Hai Jui is no exception, what they have received is actually a set of education, and naturally they all have an ideal.

"Therefore, the minister does not want to blame His Majesty for not wanting to be a servant of the world, but if even the king closest to Yao Shun like Your Majesty is still unwilling to be Yao Shun, then the minister is really discouraged!"

"The old minister couldn't help crying, sad that his life's ambition could not be achieved."

Hai Rui choked up and replied.

Zhu Yijun didn't expect that he would make Hai Rui, who was tough and strong, cry.

"That is, Yao Shun himself has a problem, and it is not His Majesty's fault!"

"So why should Da Si Nong bother with rubber pillars and drums?!"

Shen Shixing knew that this was the time to improve his leadership and boldly take another step forward in the innovation of the way of governing the country, otherwise the current new policy would fail if it could not be carried out, so he stood up and said it at this time, and then said to Zhu Yijun:

"Your Majesty, please ask Your Majesty to issue an order to abolish the official study of Zhu Xue, the orthodoxy of retro Confucianism, and respect all schools of Confucianism since the Song Dynasty, and the articles of scholars will no longer be completely based on Cheng Zhu's theory from next year! Quasi-scholars in the world adopt the views of each family and discuss them in combination with reality! ”

Shen Shixing's words were also like a scorching thunder, which exploded in the small room where the emperor's ministers gathered, which made Chen Jingbang and other ministers quite shocked for a while.

Then, Shen Shixing elaborated: "Cheng Zhu requires everyone to be holy and destroy people's desires, which is unrealistic and contrary to great benevolence and virtue!" If everyone is to be holy, then everyone is to be slaves! ”

"Of course, if someone is willing to be a slave, or even a servant of the world, and gets the name of a sage, it is also possible, and it is also conducive to the long-term stability of the society, so there is no need to abolish it, but it is not exclusive; Xinli is based on the Han people, not to ask the Han people what they must do, but to allow them what rights! First of all, it needs to be clear what rights the monarch should have! ”

"Just like what I met now, shouldn't it be clear whether the monarch can dispose of his own internal money at will?"

Zhu Yijun looked at Hai Rui: "Haiqing, what do you think?" ”

Hai Rui said: "Please keep your majesty's brigadier silent and not comment on this." ”

"Okay."

Zhu Yijun nodded.

At this time, Shen Shixing said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Dasi Nong should agree, because Dasi Nong is the most devout disciple of science, but he can't be admitted to the Jinshi, which shows that although the imperial examination in the past recorded scholars with Cheng Zhu Lixue as the guideline, but in the actual examination, he did not admit Dasi Nong, a gentleman who truly practiced the way of science and became a saint, but instead admitted a hypocrite who wanted to destroy people's desire to advocate morality, but in fact, he did not think of Cheng Zhu Lixue between the lines of the article, but only found chapters and excerpts to distort Cheng Zhu. ”

"What Qing said is reasonable, for more loyal ministers like Haiqing, and less hypocrisy and corruption like Zhou Hong, Zhun Qing played!"

"With this edict, next year Da Abibi will no longer take Cheng Zhu Lixue as the key, and allow Shizi to freely expound the theory of governing the country."

"If the examiner dismisses him on the grounds that it is not Cheng Zhu's argument, then the examiner will be punished for the crime of resisting the decree!"

After Zhu Yijun said, he said: "As for Zhou Hong, take him directly to the execution ground and be executed!" I have no intention of saying much to him, and those who deceive me deserve to be killed! ”

"Yes!"

Soon, Zhou Honglun was dragged out of the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion.

On the same day, Zhou Peicheng, the son of Zhou Honglun, knew the news, and beat the drum, shouting: "My father has been convicted of his words and is about to be beheaded, so please ask Your Majesty to show mercy and the prospective student will die on behalf of his father!" ”

Zhu Yijun quickly learned about this situation, and then sneered: "Death on behalf of my father? He only knows that he pleads for his father to die on behalf of him, and he doesn't know that he is unhappy for me, and he dares to love him only with filial piety and no loyalty in his eyes? Such disloyal people will be put to death together! ”
