Chapter 559: Raise Your Head in the World
The list was quickly read out, many of which were names they had not heard of, but there were a few that most of the courtiers knew.
For example, Wang Yanqing.
Wang Yanqing lived in a simple courtyard in Luoyang City, and was not a high-ranking official, but many people knew that His Majesty the Emperor had a good relationship with him and often went there to play chess.
Wang Yanqing is not an ordinary scholar, otherwise he would not have such an appreciation from His Majesty.
Many people know that he is enshrined in the Criminal Department.
No one knows how much the Penal Department enshrines, but they all know that the Penal Department enshrines monks.
Ordinary people like to call these monks immortals, and these ministers prefer to call them immortal masters.
Emperor Yanling liked to call the mountain people.
But in any case, His Majesty the Emperor in Luoyang City can't be provoked, and neither can these monks.
It's something everybody knows.
Since Wang Yanqing is in this list, doesn't he say that the names in it are all monks?
The worship of the Criminal Department has always been known to the ministers in Luoyang City, but they have never seen it, let alone know the existence of the name, but why would His Majesty the Emperor know the list so directly today.
It seems that Emperor Yanling still needs to answer.
After the eunuchs finished reading these names, Emperor Yanling looked at the ministers and said: "You are all afraid of the Xue Palace, I know why, not because the gentlemen there are very knowledgeable, nor because the gentlemen there are of high level of reasoning. It's that you're afraid of death, gentlemen can teach, and they can be reasonable, but they also have the right not to teach, not to be reasonable, and they have the right to beat people with their fists, we people are just ordinary people, what do you shout all day long, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live, but who can live so long?"
"I can't, neither can you, the gentlemen you're afraid of will live longer, but so long. β
"I want to tell you, gentlemen will die, gentlemen are unreasonable, they want to beat people, but I and you, there is no reason, and there is no need to watch the gentlemen beat us and be indifferent, or even oppressed by the gentlemen, my father, when he passed the throne to me, said a few words, he said not to go against the school palace, I have never taken it seriously, because I don't want someone to stand on our heads, so over the years, I have done a lot of things, but even if I have done such things, it seems to be useless, after all, there are too many gentlemen, too powerfulγ β
"You definitely don't know what the Green Silk Realm is, what the Morning and Twilight Realm is, and you don't know that the saints you burn incense and kowtow every day are called Canghai Realm. β
"Some time ago, someone said that it was wrong for me to do this rain of blood, so the accusation of God, in fact, what is the accusation, but the saints died, so heaven and earth lamented. β
"You know the situation in this world, you know that Yanling and Dayu, and Liangxi are three-legged, and you know that the three dynasties are the masters of the world, but do you know how many saints have died today?"
"Maybe the portrait you have in your home is really dead today. β
Speaking of this, Emperor Yanling smiled, he looked at his courtiers and said, "I will raise your head and be a man from today onwards, you people with your heads down, if you don't raise your head with me, you will roll away by yourself, I don't want to see you." β
"You are afraid of the school palace is afraid of the fists of the gentlemen, I am not afraid, I don't have any fists of the gentlemen, I have, you will soon know!"
......
......
I don't know how many of the words that Emperor Yanling said in the court, but before those words were spread, Emperor Yanling did something else.
After the court was dispersed, the Ministry of Industry received an order to print and distribute something.
In charge of this work, it is the new Ministry of Industry Shangshu Yan Hai, who was just an ordinary member of the Ministry of Industry yesterday, and now he has become a young man of the Ministry of Industry, looking at the father-in-law from the palace very seriously, rubbing his hands excitedly.
Of course, he is still a little nervous, he knows some of the words that His Majesty the Emperor said in the court, but he doesn't know much, and now he is nervous just because this is the first task assigned by His Majesty the Emperor, if it is not done well, will he be dismissed by His Majesty the Emperor on the spot?
No one can tell.
Yan Hai looked at the father-in-law and asked, "Does the father-in-law know what it is?"
The white-faced and beardless father-in-law held the thing wrapped in yellow silk, shook his head and smiled: "Lord Yan, this is something that Your Majesty cares about, and the slave doesn't know." β
Although Yan Hai had just become the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, it was enough for him to know many rules in the palace.
He nodded, then took the thing.
Then he opened it earnestly, and in just a moment, his face became very ugly, as if someone had forced him to eat a dead mouse.
What is on this, is it printed casually?
Yan Hai looked at this father-in-law and asked very seriously, "Your Majesty really means this?"
The father-in-law said a little unhappily: "Your Majesty's will, how can it be wrong!"
Yan Hai continued to stubbornly ask, "Can my father-in-law take me to meet Your Majesty?"
The father-in-law frowned and said, "Your Majesty seems to know Lord Yan's reaction, when the slave maid left the palace, His Majesty said a word." β
Yan Hai asked, "What words?"
"Your Majesty said, if Lord Yan is unwilling, then let this son out, in this world, there are people who want to sit in this seat!"
When Yan Hai heard this, his face turned pale as if he had been struck by lightning.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Father-in-law, don't worry, since it is a matter that His Majesty has explained, Yan Hai has to do it!"
......
......
The blood rain has not stopped, but except for the people of Luoyang City, there is no news of any heavenly punishment.
The whole city of Luoyang is quiet.
Only the sound of rain could be heard.
Emperor Yanling sat in the imperial study, and standing opposite was the most brilliant third prince.
This father and son have always been different.
But there are not many times to be able to stand together like this.
The third prince looked at his father, and took the lead in asking: "What does my father have behind him, but because a Confucian saint left the world, he dared to do such things, I don't think it looks like his father's temperament." β
Emperor Yanling smiled, and then said: "Don't talk about this today, I will ask you first, do you think that it is normal for us to keep our heads down for generations?"
The relationship between Emperor Yanling and the three princes was not harmonious before, and this is because of this.
One has a heart for the Academy, and the other has long wanted to break off the relationship with the Academy.
The third prince frowned and said, "If you don't do this, is there any other way?"
He stared at Emperor Yanling's eyes, just like the courtiers who liked to give direct advice in the previous years, as if Emperor Yanling had to admit that he had done something wrong before those courtiers would stop.
Emperor Yanling had some kindness in his eyes, but very little, he looked at his son, and said with a smile: "What I want to do, I have naturally thought about it, if it has always been a failure, then why do I have to do it unforgivingly?"
The third prince took a deep breath to calm down his emotions a bit, and then asked, "What does the father and emperor think, please make it clear." β
