"Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity. The edict said: Zhao Xi, the son of the Prince of Chu, is rampant, and the people of Luojing City have suffered for a long time. The prince of Chu was not strict with his son, and I was very sad. Demote the prince to the prince of the county, in order to set an example!

"The decree of the minister Zhao Zhiguo!" Prince Chu, oh no, it should be the king of Chu who took a few steps forward and bowed down to receive the will sent by the inner servant.

"Yesterday, Mrs. Zhou said to me that the affairs of the world, the people are the most important, the community is secondary, and the king is light! He also said that the people are the water, the king is the boat, and the water can carry the boat and also overturn the boat! I deeply thought so, so today I opened a great dynasty and invited all the ministers to be taught together. First, let's listen to Taifu's words about the way of etiquette, and the second is to draw up the law of etiquette!

Zhou Aiqing, please speak!" Zhao Shining sat on the throne, his face was even more gray, and he was shocked to see it.

"Obey the order!" Zhou Yi bowed to receive the order, then turned around, looked at the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and straightened his waist.

"The princes of the Manchu Dynasty are either full of economy or brilliant military achievements, but who has ever thought about what the empire is fundamental?"

"The Holy Daoist is the foundation of the country!" Hearing Zhou Yi's question, Meng Hongye said lightly. Since Zhou Yi entered the court as a great grandmaster, this position is in front of him. At this time, Zhou Yi faced the hundred officials and was facing him. Originally, when he heard Zhao Shining say about the people, the society and the emperor, not to mention the holy Taoist priests, he was already quite dissatisfied in his heart. Now that Zhou Yi is arguing about Taoism, he immediately refuted it loudly.

"Hehe, what Meng Zhangyuan said is very true. Scholars are well-read and reasonable, and the imperial court is indispensable for governing and teaching places, and they are the mainstay of the empire!" Zhou Yi nodded in agreement and said, Meng Hongye's face softened when he heard it. But before he could smile, the next words caught him off guard.

"However, scholars are not the foundation of the country, but the managers above the country!"

"But......" Meng Hongye was just about to speak, but Zhou Yi then interrupted him and asked rhetorically: "Can a scholar farm farm? Can a scholar build farm tools, swords, vehicles, and other tools necessary for production and life? Can a scholar fight on the battlefield like an ordinary soldier and guard the city defense?"

A series of rhetorical questions made Meng Hongye and other holy Taoist people fall into deep thought, and then Zhou Yi asked and replied to himself: "Scholars can't! What scholars manipulate is writing, and what they need to do is to manage the people's livelihood, break the prison, and take charge of education! However, if there is no food, what should the scholars eat, and what will the princes of the Manchu Dynasty eat! If there is no pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, how should we master the education of the herdsmen, just like the knotted rope records in ancient times or by word of mouth?"

"So Master Taifu thinks that the people are the foundation of the country?" Meng Hongye muttered, what Zhou Yi said just now is actually obvious, but everyone never cares about it on weekdays.

"Ridiculous! What can the common people know, it is not a pig-like thing like a pig and a dog that the local officials and gentry do whatever they say, how can it be regarded as the foundation of the country, and it is heavier than us holy Taoist priests! Taifu Zhou, above this court, don't be alarmist!" Gao Yanghu, the head of the Holy Court of Law and the head of the Imperial Criminal Department, stood up and reprimanded.

"Scholars, the dry city of the country, the common people, the foundation of the country! The two cannot be said in the same day, but please keep in mind that although the common people are small, they should not be insulted! Not to mention anything else, the ancestors of Cha Shangshu are all scholars? If you go back to five generations, they are all scholars? I am afraid that there are not many princes of the Manchu Dynasty who can continue to this day for thousands of years, and even fewer who can continue to be princes for thousands of generations! Then aren't these ancestors and descendants all pigs and dogs in the mouth of Cha Shangshu? Could it be that Cha Shangshu is a generation of people who have forgotten their ancestors! Zha Gaoyang is a hardcore ally of Lin Bo in the military academy, and he is even more sneering when he talks about the people. Zhou Yi is most unaccustomed to this kind of person, so he doesn't leave any virtue on his lips.

"You, you?" pointed at Zhou Yi, his mouth trembling with anger, but Zha Gaoyang couldn't refute it. Only I know best in my heart what the ancestors of my family are, and they are really from poor people, and it is only a matter of three generations to suddenly become rich! If my words are really in-depth, I am really a generation that has forgotten my ancestors!

"Scholars are only those who speak clearly among the common people and stand out by studying the articles of the Holy Dao! How can they suddenly become rich and rich, and forget their own beginnings and their roots! This official is the Taifu and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who is in charge of the affairs of the imperial rites and religions, and in front of the princes of the Manchu Dynasty, today I want to speak bluntly about the way of the scholars! Those who are the sons of the Holy Dao should establish their hearts for the Holy Dao, establish their lives for the people, write articles and continue to learn, and open peace for all generations!" Qi refers to the galaxy, and the words of Zhou Yi with the coercion of the Holy Dao made most of the civil and military officials enthusiastic, and they couldn't wait to kneel and kowtow on the spot.

"The Holy Way is fair but has no mercy for the people, my generation should establish our hearts for the Holy Way! Although the common people work hard but are weak and ignorant, our generation should speak for the people! It is the will of our generation to inherit the articles of the Holy Way and devote their blood to the eternal survival of the empire! Good, good, good! Taifu is above, please be worshiped by Meng Hongye!" "The Holy Dao monk is dedicated to practicing the Tao of Literature and Taoism, but he does not know his mission at all, but what Zhou Yi said is to point out the way forward for the scholars of the world, so that Meng Hongye is admired from the bottom of his heart! Therefore, he flicked the hem of his clothes, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhou Yi.

Some people take the lead, and naturally some people follow suit! Those who really feel the truth of this are all kneeling down and prostrating, and those who do not understand will pretend to understand and prostrate even if they do not understand.

Zhao Shanguo, Lin Bo, Zha Gaoyang, and the other people in the Holy Courtyard did not move at all, and looked at the scene in front of them coldly.

The dynasty is over, and the small flower hall in the palace of Chu County.

"Today, this king is planted in the hands of this Zhou Yi, hehe, the prince was demoted to the king of the county, but Zhou Yi is in the great court! Look at it, the words of the heart for the Holy Dao, what a big breath!" sighed softly, Zhao Shanguo said.

"Hmph, this court is not angry with Zhou Yi, that sentence really boosts the spirit of the Holy Daoist. But Meng Hongye was so pretentious that he kidnapped the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces to kowtow to Zhou Yi, but it was too much! He Meng Hongye dared to say that he was not angry with Zhou Yi!?" Zha Gaoyang snorted coldly, the Academy of Literature covered the sky with one hand in the court, this is a big trouble!

"Check the Courtyard, this king was reprimanded by His Majesty in the Yangxin Hall yesterday! Don't underestimate this Zhou Yi, he is now in charge of the Rite Academy, and he is also the Taifu in charge of etiquette, culture and education, I can't say that in the future, this Rite Courtyard will become the head of the new Holy Academy!" Zhao Zhiguo saw that he didn't pay much attention to Zhou Yi in and out of his words, and Lin Bo sat on the side without saying a word, and couldn't help but mention yesterday's events a little.

"Oh, what did Your Majesty say?" Zha Gaoyang was stunned for a moment, although he asked Lin Bo to send people to attack and kill Zhou Yi, but he was just worried that Zhou Yi would be too much of a threat in the Holy Dao battle! As for the battle between the courts, to be honest, he really didn't think that a young man could do anything big, especially the strength of the Rite Academy was known to the world.

"Hmph, Your Majesty said that after a hundred years, the eldest prince will have Zhou Yi's backing, and he will be able to suppress this king and the forces behind this king! What does this mean, isn't it just a repetition of the old things of the past! He has already compared Zhou Yi and the Rite Academy to the literary academy of the year!" Zhao Shanguo really couldn't figure it out, with Zhao Shining's shrewdness, how could he think that Zhou Yi had this ability.

Several sages in the Rite Courtyard admired the Holy Dao and were delusional in their desire to advance to the position of saints, and they were very indifferent to the world's affairs and affairs! This Rite Courtyard could not compete with the Scholar Academy at all, and it could not even compare with the Military Academy, the Imperial Court, and the Zongheng Academy.

Lin Bo sat silent, holding his tea to cover his glittering eyes.

From the words of His Majesty relayed by Zhao Shanguo, he did indirectly verify the conjecture in his heart. If Zhao Shining didn't know that Zhou Yi had the Holy Dao Secret Treasure in his hand and could unite the hearts of the people of the Rite Courtyard Holy Hall, how could he value him so much!

It seems that he has no problem with the guarantee of the Great Sage yesterday! Thinking that the Great Sage is about to make a move, his state of mind at this time is much more normal, and listening to the conversation between the two in front of him is also very interesting.

Investigate who Gaoyang is, the head of the first courtyard, and he can throw off Lin Bo a few streets in terms of his heart.

On weekdays, when he heard the ups and downs of Zhou Yiqing, Lin Bo, who wanted to eat his flesh raw, was silent when he heard his contemptuous words, and if he was not greasy, he would not believe it.

"Holy Dao Secret Treasure!" He was wondering why Zhao Shining valued Zhou Yi so much, and why Lin Bo didn't squeak, when an idea suddenly popped into his mind. Then this heart can no longer be settled, and if there is really a secret treasure of the Holy Dao, then all doubts can be explained clearly.

"Your Majesty values him so much, I'm afraid you'll have to look away! Now that the Holy Hall Sage of the Rite Academy ignores the affairs of the world, just relying on a few great grandmasters who also want to counterattack other Holy Academies, especially the Academy of Literature, it is simply whimsical! When the time comes, see how Zhou Yi swallows his anger under the oppression of other Holy Academies, and see how Zhao Mu takes charge of the imperial power in accordance with the law! Lord Wang, please sit quietly, there will be a good show to watch when the time comes!" Thinking about what kind of holy Dao secret treasure it was, he was comforting Zhao Shanguo when he checked Gao Yang.

Zhao Shanguo wants to ascend to the throne, and this idea is well known to everyone! However, if he ascends to the throne, he is much better than Zhao Mu. Zhao Mu was close to the Emperor Fu Le Sheng, and he always ignored the people in the Holy Courtyard. Even the Academy of Letters, which supported his father's ascension to the throne, had no good feelings. With such an heir ascending to the throne, there will definitely be many incidents in the future. If Zhao Shanguo ascends the throne, then the Holy Academy of Law will inevitably be like the Academy of Literature back then.

As for the Ally Academy, hehe, in his opinion, with a stupid academy like Lin Bo, how much scruples are needed!

"Thank you for checking the Academy, there are still many places where this king needs to rely on the two in the future, please support the two of you as always, there will be a good reward in the future! Anyway, you must not let the Academy of Literature continue to be so arrogant, it is the long-cherished wish of this king!" Zhao Shanguo got up and said to the two.

Lin Bo just smiled and agreed, but Zha Gaoyang stood up and saluted back.

After a few more pleasantries, the two said goodbye and left. Then, a man in a scribe's robe turned out from the side, and it was Zhang Ji of Zonghengyuan.

Zhang Ji stood at the door, staring deeply at the direction where the two were leaving, and said without looking back: "King Chu doesn't have to worry, these two people will definitely support the prince to the end!"
