Chapter 773: The Sun Also Rises
Early in the morning, the sun rises as usual.
On the square in front of Fengtian Gate, the guard of honor is like the law, Shaole is solemn, and the hundred officials are lined up left and right according to the civil and military dignity, and there are no traces of kneeling at the door before.
After three whips, hundreds of officials knelt down to greet His Majesty, and Zhu Yuanzhang, accompanied by the prince, ascended to the golden platform and looked at his courtiers with a serious expression.
After they had given thanks and stood up, the eunuch Wu read out in a long voice the will to establish a Confucian temple in Guozi University and restore Mencius's worthiness.
The hundred officials thanked the edict again, and Zheng Jiucheng led the civil officials who participated in kneeling to go out of class, kneeling on the ground to thank him first, and then plead guilty, and took off the black veil on his head together, waiting for the emperor to deal with it.
Even if Boss Zhu wants to deal with them, it is not now, not to mention that he still has to rely on them to work. reprimanded them a few words without pain, and only dismissed Zheng Jiucheng as an official, and the rest of the officials were only fined for half a year, and only lightly punished.
Well, for the impoverished Beijing officials, a fine of half a year is definitely not a light punishment......
Then, Zhu Yuanzhang said to the sixth child with a straight face: "Look, because you were negligent for a while, how much trouble did you cause?" ”
"Yes, yes," His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who created a record of continuous dynasties, hurriedly humbly taught: "It's all the fault of the sons, and the sons will immediately rectify it when they go back, and build the most exquisite Confucian temple for the Confucian saint on the top of the chicken coop mountain." ”
The words of the King of Chu made the civil officials feel a lot better, and it was worth it to change it for a beautiful temple of literature standing on the top of Taixue.
"Don't delay for any reason, when will it be built, and when will it start again!" Zhu Yuanzhang blew his beard again and glared: "Did you hear it!" ”
"Good, good." The sixth child's attitude is very good.
"I have to teach the students the way of sainthood well. This is the body, and those laws, arithmetic, accounting, and the like are used, and they must not be confused. Zhu Yuanzhang then taught:
"It doesn't matter which subject you want to take the Jinshi exam, if you don't learn the way of the saint well, you will not be allowed to graduate, let alone take the imperial examination! I don't want such an official in the Ming Dynasty! ”
"The Emperor Shengming!" Hu Weiyong hurriedly led the mountains to call out, covering up the voice of the sixth child.
~~
When going down to the court, the civil officials held their heads high one by one and carried the tablet of Yasheng to the Confucius Temple. That posture was like a triumphant return.
"Wang Xiang, forgive me for being foolish, why don't you see them, what is there to be happy about?" Cao Guogong, who watched it, was dumbfounded, and asked Wang Guangyang to say:
"Hehe, a bunch of idiots." Wang Guangyang smiled and sneered lazily: "I was played with by others without knowing it." ”
"It can't be said that it's a blind toss, at least the Temple of Literature has been erected on Jilong Mountain." Cao Guogong smiled: "Although this price is a little bigger. ”
"They just don't do anything, and it will be this situation in the end, the emperor and the king of Chu have never said that Guozi University will not build a Confucian temple." Wang Guangyang laughed and said: "Then you don't have to kill so many people, and you don't have to be dragged into the whirlpool." ”
"Wang Xianggao." Cao Guogong's pupils shrank when he heard this, Wang Guangyang was really sober in the world, and he could see everything clearly. I couldn't help but praise: "The level has not decreased back then." ”
"No, old man." Wang Guangyang shook his head and said: "Now I have to solve the next game of chess three times, it's boring, go back to play chess." ”
After speaking, he arched his hand towards Cao Guogong, and Shi Shiran went.
Li Wenzhong pondered for a moment, and actually felt the same way. The excitement is theirs, and they can only be an outsider, which is really boring, and they are gone.
~~
Although Zhu Zhen was taught a lesson by the old thief, he was in a good mood on the way back to Jilong Mountain, and when he passed by the flower shop, he also bought flowers for his beloved girls, so that people could send them to express his heart.
But at this time, he can't care about meeting his little lover, so he has to hurry up and return to Guozi University first, and all the teachers and students are in the square in front of Biyong, waiting for his news.
Lao Liu's carriage stopped outside the mountain gate, in front of the stone monument of 'civil officials get off the bus, military attaches dismount', and was surrounded by Luo Guanzhong, who was not qualified to go to the court.
"Your Highness, what is the result?"
"Make do with it." The sixth said lightly: "Later, this king will talk in detail." ”
"Yes." Song Ne and the others had no choice but to be patient, and surrounded the king of Chu to Piyong, and more than 3,000 college students were already waiting there in a neat line.
Although they are all experienced and professionally trained, they are still inevitably apprehensive in the past period.
"The sacrificial wine has arrived!" The student on duty sang loudly.
In accordance with the new school rules, the college students 'saluted when they lined up in a dense line', held their heads high, and their eyes followed His Royal Highness the King of Chu. In unison, he said, "Welcome to the sacrificial wine!" ”
Under the gaze of 3,600 teachers and students, the sixth child climbed onto the three-foot platform in front of Panchi, looked around and said loudly:
"Don't sell the guanzi, let's talk about the results first - those people will no longer obstruct the three reforms, and you can go to school, take the imperial examination, and become an official with peace of mind!"
In the square, where the needles could be heard, there was an irrepressible humming sound, and the college students couldn't help but exchange their heads and ears, passing on their excitement to each other.
"If you want to shout, shout it out loud, you will suffocate your body if you hold it!" The King of Chu smiled and announced that he could ignore the school rules for the time being.
"Great!" As soon as the words fell, the college students erupted in unrelenting cheers, jumping and jumping, venting the stress accumulated over the past few days.
Although they are all experienced and professionally trained, the opposition to the three reforms has been so strong that it is difficult for them not to be affected.
After all, the three reforms are closely related to their future...... Educational reforms are self-explanatory, they are themselves a product of reform.
If the reform of the imperial examination is blocked, they will not be able to take the Jinshi examination after completing their studies, and they will not be able to become officials, so what is the point of learning?
If the reform of the official system is difficult to deliver, the vast majority of them will only be able to serve as officials for the rest of their lives, and there will be no future at all.
So a run aground on any of the three reforms would cast a shadow over their prospects. Anyone will be nervous.
As a matter of fact, the students were mentally prepared for the setback of the reform of the official system and even the reform of the imperial examination, and they said that as long as the educational reform can be carried out, we will continue to read it and see if there will be any changes within three years.
Because they also know how much resistance there is from the civilian clique and even the entire Shilin.
Unexpectedly, the emperor and His Royal Highness the King of Chu actually withstood the pressure and eliminated all the resistance to the three reforms. Now that the future is bright, how can they not be overjoyed?
When the cheers of the students became smaller, Zhu Zhen raised his hand, and Panchi was immediately silent.
"The king knows that you are happy, and I am very happy." As he spoke, the King of Chu changed his words and said, "But don't rejoice too early, our enemies are just forced to surrender under pressure. ”
"They are neither dead nor ineffective, which means that if something goes wrong with us in the future, they will definitely come back!" The king of Chu said in a loud voice: "This is called 'the reactionary forces will not die in my heart'!" ”
"In this regard, we can only unite as one, on the one hand, we will resolutely fight back, and on the other hand, teachers and students will go all out, and strive to contribute outstanding talents to the imperial court as soon as possible!" As he spoke, his gaze slowly swept over everyone again, and he said sonorously:
"At that time, it will be the end of the old bureaucracy and the age of our college students!"
