The kneeling and crying of hundreds of officials outside the Fengtian Gate passed through the layers of palace walls, and could even reach the Wuying Palace.

This upset Boss Zhu, who was reading the post reply, and kept throwing the finished piece to the ground.

With a snap, a piece of music flew too far and almost hit the prince who walked in.

"What kind of rebellious recital, provoking my father and the emperor to be so atmospheric?" Zhu Biao bent down and picked it up.

"What else could it be?" Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and said: "It's nothing more than scolding the street, now there are ten chapters, nine of which are scolding the mother, let's think about the day of the mother." ”

Zhu Biao opened the book and casually read the above paragraph:

“…… Since the ancient emperors, there have been no gentry and last officials, colleagues who live together, and those who can help each other. Now the old senior citizen resigned, how far is the danger from the throne? Looking forward to His Majesty's heart, and learning the Yan of virtue articles, then the peace can be immediately established......"

"As long as you use the good article of virtue, you can immediately have peace in the world, isn't this a lie with your eyes open?" Zhu Yuanzhang said disdainfully: "If this is the case, the Great Song Dynasty should have recovered Youyan and beaten Liaojin, and still have to wait for us to go to the Northern Expedition?" ”

"Alas, people are Confucian children, so I can only say that." Zhu Biao smiled bitterly and picked up all the notebooks on the ground, and put them back into the imperial case.

"Those guys are still kneeling there?" Zhu Yuanzhang didn't bother to look at it anymore, picked up 'filial piety', and scratched his back with a click.

"Well, it was useless for the sons to persuade them for a long time, so they finally had to agree to talk to their father for them." Zhu Biao said truthfully.

"Talk about a fart! What about Hu Weiyong? ”

"Hu Xiang is still there to keep an eye on them, so as not to make any more radical moves." Zhu Biao sighed and said, "Someone was about to jump off the Wulong Bridge just now. ”

"You have to jump into the river and jump outside, and you are not allowed to dirty our river." Zhu Yuanzhang was not happy when he heard it, and raised his voice and said: "The second and third children peed in it when they were young, and we will all serve the family law!" ”

"No, is this a dirty river?" The prince said speechlessly: "Wu Zhuangyuan has taken hundreds of Confucian students and knelt outside the noon gate, if this matter is not dealt with properly in a hurry, it will get bigger and bigger." ”

"Let them make trouble, and see if our knives are fast, or if their necks are hard." Zhu Yuanzhang snorted.

"If they continue to make trouble, the court will be paralyzed, and Yunnan will not fight. The world is initially decided, the Quartet is unstable, and if this trend spreads to the local area, there will be a big mess! The prince said in an accentuated tone: "Dad, the country belongs to our family." If the stalemate continues, the loss is also our family's ......"

"Okay, okay, we know." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand in silence, and Eunuch Wu hurriedly led people, closed the door of the palace, and let the two of them speak alone.

"Alas, boss," Zhu Yuanzhang said to the prince in a muffled voice: "Do you know what it means to 'tear down the roof and open the window'?" ”

"I haven't heard of ......," the prince shook his head.

"This is what Lao Liu told us, he said that the temperament of Chinese always likes to reconcile and compromise." Zhu Yuanzhang learned to speak:

"For example, if you say that this house is too dark and you have to open a window here, you will not allow it. But if you advocate tearing down the roof, they will come to reconcile and be willing to open the windows. ”

"This statement is a bit interesting...... "The prince was stunned at first, and then he cried and laughed:

"So they followed Confucius and Mencius? It's not about tearing down the roof, it's about tearing down the whole house! ”

"Wouldn't that work better......" Zhu Yuanzhang said proudly.

"Uh," the prince was so choked that he couldn't speak, and sighed for a long time, "Okay...... So, my father didn't plan to fight them to the end? ”

"Of course." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said slyly: "If we really plan to do nothing, we won't call Yan Shenggong back." After all, no matter what, Confucius's set is still quite useful. ”

"What about Mencius?" The prince asked.

"He should be beaten to pieces, and no one knows about him anymore." Zhu Yuanzhang said indignantly: "But for the sake of reforming the overall situation, we can't let him go back to the Confucian Temple, but Meng Ke's reactionary remarks must all be deleted and can no longer appear in the Ming Dynasty." ”

"Alas......" the prince sighed and nodded, "What about the price?" ”

"None of the three reforms can be stopped!" Zhu Yuanzhang said categorically: "They agreed, and the affairs of Confucius and Mencius were discussed." If you don't agree, then don't blame us for being polite. ”

"Erchen understood." The prince nodded, sighed again, and said, "But my father's condition, it is estimated that it is difficult for them to accept." ”

"Let's talk about it first, I really can't talk about it." Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "Besides, now they are begging you, and it is they who should be worried, not you!" ”

"Erchen understands." The crown prince nodded, his father gave him the answer, and how to talk about it later depends on himself.

~~

Coming out of the Wuying Palace, the prince did not go to Fengtianmen immediately, but first returned to the Chunhe Palace to deal with government affairs, and the afternoon pilgrimage was also held as scheduled.

It's just that the ministers who came to participate in the Hajj were half less. Among the civil officials, there are only Hu Weiyong, Peng Geng, and Zeng Tai, and even Wang Guangyang did not come.

"What about Wang Guangyang?" The prince asked with a frown. Unexpectedly, even an old slippery head like Wang Guangyang stood in line.

"Wang Xiangti is staring at the old minister outside the Fengtian Gate." Hu Weiyong helped Wang Guangyang explain: "Those civil officials have been kneeling until now, and their emotions are very unstable, so the old minister asked Wang Xiang to stay to prevent them from going to extremes." ”

"Hmm." The crown prince nodded, sighed and said, "My father hasn't dissipated his anger yet, why don't you let them go back first and kneel tomorrow?" ”

"Prince, I'm afraid they won't agree. From the old minister's point of view, there is no explanation today, they are afraid that they will spend the night outside the Mukden Gate. Hu Weiyong sighed.

"Isn't this nonsense? It's only February, and how hurtful is the spring cold at night? The prince frowned and said: "They are all weak scholars, and if they kneel down overnight, how many people will fall ill." ”

"The prince is merciful." Hu Weiyong hurriedly presented the sycophants and said: "They have been kneeling for a day, and if they toss for another night, they will really die." ”

"......" The prince glanced at Hu Weiyong a little unaccustomedly, as if he didn't know why this guy had changed his sex. To use an inappropriate analogy, it is like a 'shrew' who treats herself everywhere, and suddenly becomes a 'good wife' with three virtues and four virtues.

It always makes people worry about whether he has other plans.

But I can't care so much about it at this time, let's take care of the present.

The prince asked in a deep voice, "Then what can Hu Xiang do?" ”

"Of course, the best policy is that the emperor can be gracious...... Hu Weiyong said softly.

"It's all said, my father's anger hasn't disappeared yet, and it will only backfire to intercede at this time." The prince sighed and shook his head.

"Then we'll have to give them a clockwork quilt first." Hu Weiyong smiled bitterly: "Of course, it would be better to have a mouthful of hot soup." ”

"Well, this can be there." The prince nodded and said, "Let's go and prepare." ”

"Yes!" Hu Weiyong hurriedly responded, and did not forget to add: "The lower officials will definitely tell them that this is the grace of the crown prince." ”

"No, I said it was the emperor." The crown prince shook his head and said, "This matter will be revealed to my father first." ”

"Yes, yes, it's the old minister who is confused." Hu Weiyong sighed in his heart, the prince is obviously unbreakable, but he is still so cautious. People can't find a chance to sow discord.
