Hearing Zhu Gaoxian's words, all the ministers in the palace were shocked!

Is the prince going on a killing spree?

He actually killed the generals of the guard first, and then planned to behead all the Confucian scholars to show the public?

This move was tantamount to a thunderbolt, which directly struck the heads of all the officials in the hall! The faces of many ministers have changed!

Above the court, there was a sudden silence.

After a long time, the official Shangshu Wang came back to his senses, he forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart, and said in righteous words:

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this is absolutely impossible!"

"Confucian scholars are students who have read the books of sages and sages, and they are the foundation of my scholars in the future, how can they be so easily disposed of?"

At this time, several important ministers on the side also came out to persuade them:

"The Confucian scholars are just eager for state affairs and want to communicate with the students of the Academy of Letters, so how can they be punished for this matter?"

"Exactly, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to think twice, don't chill the hearts of the world's scholars!"

Hum!

At this time, Yang Rong, the first assistant of the cabinet, who had not spoken, snorted coldly, glanced around, and said in a deep voice:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Confucian scholars have openly stormed the Imperial Academy, beating up the important ministers of the Imperial Court, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already made a decision."

"The Cabinet also supports the decision made by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the corresponding disposition will be issued after the court meeting."

"Wait, are you dissatisfied with the decision made by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the cabinet?"

He stared at the many ministers with eyes as sharp as an eagle, as if anyone who dared to say anything dissatisfied would be dealt with on the spot immediately!

At this time, many ministers discovered that there seemed to be a lot more guards in the palace at some point, all holding sticks and wearing armor, and their sharpness was exposed.

A cold sweat broke out on his back, and he turned his eyes for help to those cabinet scholars, when they were secretly discussing before, everyone said yes!

However, at this time, these scholars avoided Wang Zhi's eyes for help, and they all bowed their heads silently, or looked up at the sky, as if they were wandering out of the world.

What are you kidding, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already sent someone to give them a good idea before the court meeting, these scholars can climb to this position, who would dare to fight against His Royal Highness the Prince?

Is it true that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who looks kind, won't cut off people's heads?

For the sake of their own position, it is better for them to be honest and do their duty, anyway, the prince and the ministers are competing, and normally speaking, they will not be involved in these scholars, and they still have Yang Rong, the head of the cabinet, on their heads......

Wang Zhi didn't get a response from these scholars, and his heart suddenly cooled, and then he continued to look at the ministers around him, and found that their eyes also revealed a little panic and confusion, and he knew that something was wrong.

It seems that if you want to attack His Royal Highness the Crown Prince above the court today, I am afraid that there is nothing I can do.

Perhaps we can only give in for the time being......

But when he thought about it, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart, I don't believe that the prince dares to behead so many Confucian students!

The Confucian scholars are not like those generals of the guards, the warriors have no foundation and support, and the scholars are not!

If the prince really dares to go his own way, it will inevitably lead to the anger of the masses, he just unites the family, and then relies on the power of the Yan Shenggong lineage to give the prince a big embarrassment!

When the time comes, it will not be possible to say that the court will be shaken, and even the matter of the throne will not be known......

In the blink of an eye, countless dark thoughts had already popped up in Wang Zhi's heart, he hesitated slightly, and just wanted to step forward to speak, but heard Zhu Gaoxian speak again:

"This Confucian trouble, in Lone's view, is not respecting learning, not respecting courtesy, and not respecting the law!"

He looked at the many ministers of His Royal Highness, and his tone was indifferent:

"Attacking the Academy of Literature is disrespectful to knowledge."

"To make a noise is not to pay attention to etiquette."

"Assaulting an important minister of the court is disrespecting the law of the country!"

"They must be held accountable for this!"

Zhu Gaoxian used sharp eyes

stared at everyone, and after a long time, he said slowly:

"Therefore, Lone and the cabinet agreed that all Confucian students who make trouble this time will lose their fame and will never be elected."

Rumble!

Zhu Gaoxian's words were like a boulder, smashing into the water of the Manchao Pond, causing huge waves!

The Manchu Dynasty Wenwu was suddenly taken aback, his face changed, and he began to whisper.

You must know that the status of Confucian scholars is quite high in the Ming Dynasty, and most of them have the support of the big families behind them.

Removing the fame and never hiring, this is equivalent to ruining the hope of that family's career!

I'm afraid it will be difficult to live a stable life even in the future!

Wang Zhi and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu and the others quietly glanced at each other, and then looked in the direction of several cabinet scholars, and found that they were all old gods, obviously knowing about this for a long time.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu was helpless, so he had to bite the bullet and say:

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I'm afraid this move is a little inappropriate......

Zhu Gaoxian directly interrupted his words and said lightly:

"Lonely hasn't finished yet."

"Among them, the leaders of several people, after the interrogation of Jinyiwei, learned that although they were pampered, they played a leading role at that time, and beat Xia Laoshangshu, the crime is unforgivable, and they must be beheaded for public display."

"The remnant of the people will be spared the death penalty, but the living sin will not be escaped."

"In addition to removing his fame, he was scattered and exiled to various places, and the local government was responsible for guarding him, and he could not return without forgiveness."

"As for the families of these Confucian scholars, hmph."

Zhu Gaoxian snorted coldly and continued:

"From them onwards, three generations are not allowed to gain fame."

The many ministers in the palace were all stunned!

This is obviously to dig the foundation of those Confucian scholars!

And this move will inevitably have a great impact on the family!

For three consecutive generations, they are not allowed to gain fame and cannot embark on official careers, and ordinary small families can't bear such an impact at all, so they can directly declare that they have disappeared, and they will be knocked into the dust directly from the highest class of "scholars"!

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this must not be done!"

A waiter of the Ministry of Rites jumped up directly, those Confucian students who were imprisoned, among them are the descendants of his family!

"Oh?"

Zhu Gaoxian saw that he dared to come out against him, and immediately looked at him with a smile:

"Aren't you trying to disrespect the will?"

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites suddenly turned red, and he held back for a long time before he shouted angrily:

"Prince, you are in chaos......

"Bastard!"

Without waiting for Zhu Gaoxian's face to turn cold, Yang Rong, a cabinet scholar on the side, stood up directly, pointed at him and scolded him loudly:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's will, the cabinet has unanimously passed, and you actually oppose it? Dare you say it's a mess?"

"Someone, take this person down quickly and put him in prison!"

"It's gibberish, crazy!"

The guards on the side suddenly walked into the scene, clamped the person in the middle, gagged him, and dragged him out like a chicken!

Suddenly the audience was shocked!
