Dong Qichang was not escorted here, because Jin Yiwei did not find evidence of his guilt in the Xu family's library.

Dong Qichang just came here with other people to watch the excitement.

Therefore, Dong Qichang can only be regarded as surrendering now.

However, the gentry who came with Dong Qichang did not expect that Dong Qichang would decisively stand up and surrender at this time.

Zhu Yijun was also stunned.

To know.

Dong Qichang's talent is indeed not low in the whole Jiangnan, and it is a must in painting.

Even if it is not his personal peak state now, he has been famous in Jiangnan for a long time.

It is precisely because Dong Qichang is already quite famous, and he is not very supportive of the new policy, so he is unwilling to participate in the reform, so he chose to resign and return to Jiangnan.

Therefore, Dong Qichang in this life has returned to the township.

However, after seeing that Wang Shizhen chose to be punished by the palace and was promised by Zhu Yijun that he would be the master of ceremonies, Dong Qichang's ambition in the pursuit of power was also stimulated, and he took the initiative to stand up at this time.

Obviously, compared to fame and beauty, Dong Qichang also prefers power.

No way, he has tasted the first two.

It can be said that with his status, he has not only tasted the first two, but also tasted both.

Power alone.

The opportunity to participate in the core of the empire's power is something he has not yet tasted, and it is something that he cannot achieve no matter how good the painting is.

"How did you discredit it?"

Zhu Yijun asked.

Dong Qichang replied: "The minister painted a painting that smeared the first master. ”

Zhu Yijun stood up suddenly.

Dong Qichang hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty is angry, and the minister is confused for a while." ”

"Then you will take the Jinyi Guard to copy your paintings, and then come to Huang Xun, I will let you go to the celebrant to serve as a eunuch in the hall in the future, you are qualified to be supervised by me personally."

Zhu Yijun said.

Dong Qichang was busy and said: "Your Majesty is as benevolent as the sky, and the minister is grateful!" ”

Zhu Yijun looked at Xu Jia at this time, and then waved his hand:

"Execution!"

Thereupon.

The thing in Xu Jia's mouth was pulled out, and then the knife also cut on him.

"Ahh

Soon, Xu Jia screamed.

"Your Majesty spares your life!"

"The minister knows that he is wrong! Don't dare to say that you are a Han person! ”

Zhu Yijun left here amid screams and returned to the Shen house.

As soon as Zhu Yijun returned to the Shen Mansion, he instructed Jiao Hong, the official of the decree:

"It is proposed to give the Jinyi guard, the town ministers, and the county officials of the prefecture, and all those who wear the clothes of Hu Yi and practice the style of Hu Yi shall be dealt with according to the crime of Tongyi and sentenced to death;"

"When we are supposed to be a unified civilization today, why should there be cultural differences, so that there will be cultural disputes in the future, so that people in the world will kill each other?"

Jiao Hong said yes.

And after Jiao Hong drafted such a purpose, he found Ye Xianggao and drank wine with him, and for a while he couldn't help but say angrily because of the wine:

"Wang Yizhou and Dong Huating are famous! Especially Dong Huating, who did not hesitate to surrender himself in order to enter the ceremonial supervisor, this will undoubtedly make His Majesty despise me even more Jiangnan literati! ”

"Before these two people did this, Your Majesty also despised the Jiangnan literati."

"However, disdain is contempt, and Your Majesty does not really want to destroy Jiangnan culture and education, and it is also a good thing that Wang, Dong and others choose to accept transformation in front of the emperor."

After Ye Xianggao replied with a smile, he asked Jiao Hong again: "Mr. Gong is not really worried that they will become Wang Zhenzhi and others, right?" ”

Jiao Hong's head was raised: "That's what I'm worried about." ”

"No, it won't."

"Wang, Dong Ergong, how can you have such courage?"

"They mistakenly think that they can thrive in the power arena if they are talented, which is tantamount to whimsy!"

"Your Majesty let them join the ceremonial eunuchs, maybe they only plan to let them be auspicious birds in a cage, only responsible for calling, and realize the pattern of gradually no longer relying on eunuchs to assist the government."

"After all, Your Majesty has turned us military children into people who carry the throne for him, and there is no need for eunuchs."

Ye Xianggao said with a smile.

Jiao Hong said: "I really envy you military families. ”

"You weren't envious before."

Ye Xianggao replied with a smile.

Jiao Hong smiled helplessly.

When Jiao Hong and Ye Xianggao were drinking, Zhu Yijun's intention to strictly investigate the wind of worshipping Hu Yi and acting perversely in Hu Yi's clothes was also conveyed to the government at all levels.

Soon, the bureaucrats and soldiers in the Suzhou area took the first action.

"What are you doing!"

"What's wrong with me in my kimono, what's wrong with my braids! Do you even care about this? ”

"Let me go!"

……

For a while, a number of children who pursued alternative things were arrested.

Many were executed on the spot for resisting.

However, now that Zhu Yijun is a monarch is very powerful and has won the hearts of the people, the parents and elders of these children do not dare to say much, and only cry and plead.

It is precisely because of Zhu Yijun's strict decree that this unhealthy trend was completely eliminated.

No one dares to do the opposite.

Zhu Yijun is very satisfied with this.

He aspires to the unification of civilizations, and naturally will not allow the existence of different cultures.

Although he could accept views that differed from him in terms of ideology, natural science theory, and even social science theory, he could not tolerate anyone who would undermine his ideal of cultural unity.

In fact.

Many scholars are also very traditional and conservative, and they also support Zhu Yijun in doing so.

So no one protested.

And in this era, no country dares to accuse Zhu Yijun of doing something wrong.

"I have no intention of destroying the colorful culture and education in the south of the Yangtze River, as long as it is within the framework of Chinese civilization, I don't refer to the deer as a horse, and I can show your value as you want."

"Whether it's retro or new, Lu Wang Cheng Zhu can all coexist!"

"Why can we coexist, Master Shen has written it clearly in the past that he advocated the coexistence of King Zhu, you can go and see it."

On this day, after Wang Shizhen officially changed into the official uniform of the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi and put on the three-mountain hat, he told Wang Shizhen about his views on Jiangnan culture and education.

Zhu Yijun cleared up some dross that did not suit his liking, and also showed his imperial authority, and next, he naturally wanted to show his favor to encourage more people to participate in cultural undertakings.

After all, the steam industrial revolution has begun, and the cultural industry and service industry will be the main channels to absorb the employment of a large number of surplus people.

Zhu Yijun naturally will not really suppress the cultural industry at this time.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun also said this to Wang Shizhen, and asked: "I heard that there is a Zhishi official named Fan Qin who built a library in his hometown in Zhejiang, called Tianyi Pavilion, which has a rich collection of books, but is there such a thing?" ”

At this time, the scholar Shen always said on the side: "Back to Your Majesty, Fan Lao is a fellow minister, and he does have a library called Tianyi Pavilion, and the collection of books is indeed quite rich. ”

"I encourage people all over the world to collect more books, so that the book industry will be more developed."

"After all, this is conducive to the people's wisdom."

"The people want to enlighten their wisdom, books are very important, to spread my will, in order to show the merits of the Fan family's book collection, the head of the Fan family is the scrivener of the Hanlin Academy."

Zhu Yijun was awarded an official position because the Fan family had a large collection of books, which was regarded as a show of grace, and it also allowed the Fan family to better protect their own collection of books and collect books because of their official status.

After all, Da Ming, who is in the official position, has no official status, and many things are actually not so easy to do.

Of course, the more reason why Zhu Yijun did this is to promote culture and education.

Because of this, Zhu Yijun was not satisfied with just giving the owner of Tianyi Pavilion an idle official of the Nine Rank Hanlin Academy, he also planned to do more.

"I also heard that no one is allowed to enter the collection of books in the first pavilion on this day, but is there such a thing?"

Because Shen always said that Fan Qin was his fellow villager, Zhu Yijun then asked Shen Yi again.

Shen Yi replied: "Back to Your Majesty, this is the case, Tianyi Pavilion is strictly managed, and even people from his clan cannot enter casually. ”

After hearing this, Zhu Yijun said: "Although it is his family rules, but if books are not shown to others, the value of opening up people's wisdom will be gone, so what is the point of collecting books?" ”

"Then give the Fan family a decree, let them donate rare books that are not available outside to the imperial court, and the imperial court will organize people to compile transcriptions to increase the stock of such books.

Zhu Yijun said and said: "In addition, I told the world that in order to encourage the people of the world to donate books, regardless of the content, even if there is something inappropriate, the donor will not be disposed of. ”

"Yes!"

Seeing this, Shen always knew that the Son of Heaven really wanted to prosper culture and education, not to suppress the development of the cultural and educational industry, so he said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that since the edict has ordered the world's book collection to dedicate books to the country, it is better to take this opportunity to compile another canon!" Guy Yin's "Yongle Canon" and the sequel "Yongle Canon" prepared by His Majesty's decree in the past are not easy to check, so it is better to compile another type of book, which should be called "Wanli Canon", not to mention that it is the prosperous era of the country's great pride and pride, and it is the world of repairing books to show the rule of culture. ”

"Reasonable!"

"Then I decreed the preparation of this project, and recruited people with outstanding talents to participate in the compilation."

"It also saves people in the world from being too idle, except for the sadness of spring and autumn, they can't do something for the common people."

Zhu Yijun agreed to Shen's request.

The current Ming Dynasty is indeed not short of money, let alone literati, and there is no shortage of all kinds of new books, so it is suitable for such a project.

Large-scale infrastructure construction, employment promotion, and long-term peace and stability of the country are not only infrastructure projects such as transportation and water conservancy.

Culturally, organizing a large number of literati to continue to compile and organize Chinese civilization in order to achieve the purpose of preserving and carrying forward the genes of related civilizations can be regarded as infrastructure projects.

But Zhu Yijun was not satisfied with this.

He greatly promoted culture and education, and also meant to open up the wisdom of the people.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun continued at this time:

"After ordering the people of the world to donate books, it is not enough to compile the "Wanli Canon", but also to set up public libraries in all provinces, prefectures and counties, and to set up national libraries in the two capitals, so that all kinds of books in the world will be copied and engraved into multiple sets, and stored in major public libraries for the people of the world to consult; All good taxpayers of their own clan can enter such a library with their household cards, so that the people can see more books.
