Chapter 553: A Small Pot of Tea That Caused Trouble
Zhu Di looked down at these people, he knew in his heart that it was not so easy to fiddle with these courtiers, and sure enough, they were coming!
"Wu Zhong, if you want to die, you can do it anywhere! I want to stain the Golden Palace with blood, but I can't! Zhu Di said coldly: "And you can't make something out of nothing just because your name is Wu Zhong!" If you oppose my arrangement, you must be reasonable, otherwise, I will send you to the vegetable market without you having to bump into it yourself! ”
Ooh!
In just a few words, with a knife, it is extremely sharp.
Most of the people present were officials in the last years of Hongwu, and they worked under Jianwen for more than two years. Zhu Yuanzhang's thunderbolt methods did not teach much, but they were accustomed to Zhu Yunwen's "leniency", and these people subconsciously felt that Zhu Di would also be kind and pleasant, talk to them well, and be reasonable in everything.
But they were wrong, Zhu Di was ruthless, definitely no worse than Lao Zhu.
Wu Zhong knelt on the ground, covered in cold sweat, flowing down his sideburns, and no longer had the momentum he had just now.
"Qi, Your Majesty, all the saints, all of them are virtuous and ancient, and their character is unparalleled, and they are admired by all generations. Although Young Master Liu has meritorious service to the country, he is young, how can he take the position of Yan Shenggong. What's more, the six ministries and nine kings, each with their own duties, this is the rule set by Taizu. If Liu Chun is appointed as the Holy Duke of Yan, the ancestral system is destroyed, and the ministers think it is very inappropriate. ”
After saying that, he fell to the ground, trembling.
Zhu Di glanced at it with contempt, thinking that the bones were so hard that he didn't dare to spill them.
Zhu Di snorted: "Liu Chun's merits are well known, not to mention that it is difficult to succeed in assisting Zhenjing, even when the first emperor was alive, he had stabilized Daning, opened up the territory, and subdued the four yi, and raised my great tomorrow's prestige." In addition, he made great contributions to the inclusion of most of Myanmar in his territory. It is especially important that he founded a scientific line, and now the court and the people, many of the students, many of them are studying under the willow gate, do you think that Liu Chun's learning, there is no merit? ”
These people, you look at me, I'll look at you, don't say it, with Liu Chun's merits, it is enough to be crowned a prince, at least these princes of the dynasty, no one can beat Liu Chun.
But the problem is that the position of Yan Shenggong really can't be given to Liu Chun!
Once Liu Chun became the Emperor of Yan, it meant that science replaced Confucianism and became official orthodoxy, and this matter was troublesome...... These people are all from ten years of hard work.
One day, everything they learn will become farts, and who can stand it?
Moreover, the replacement of Confucianism by science is far more serious than the replacement of science by mind. Both science and mind are just internal debates in Confucianism.
But Liu Chun is different, he flaunted the two ancestors back then, one is Mozi and the other is Yang Zhu, which is equivalent to completely abolishing Confucianism and Taoism, think about what happened to Wang Yangming, you will know what Liu Chun is facing.
It's tolerable, it's unbearable!
Wu Zhong took the lead in saying that he was going to be killed, it was by no means alarmist, some people did think so, but it was difficult to say whether they dared to do it or not.
Things have come to this point, and it is no longer something that these small courtiers can influence.
After a long time, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Jianyi walked out with firm steps.
"Your Majesty, after two days of hard thinking, I feel that Young Master Liu is indeed a world-class meritorious and knowledgeable person, but it is just ...... Wanting to replace Confucianism with science is still a little weak. As he spoke, Jian Yi turned his head to Liu Chun and said: "Lord Liu, this Confucianism is the result of the painstaking efforts of the scholars of the past dynasties. The Four Books and Five Classics are the classics that have been handed down from generation to generation. Countless Confucian masters have explained Confucianism and made the sages edify and everyone knows it. Even overseas barbarians, people from outside the country, have traveled thousands of miles to study. This is where the foundation of Confucianism lies. ”
Jian Yi muttered: "I don't seem to have heard of any books written by Lord Liu, which can be compared to them!" ”
This guy is really tricky, he is used to avoiding the real and attacking the false, you want to be canonized, and it won't work without writings.
Liu Chun smiled and said nothing, without using others, Zhu Di snorted coldly: "Jianyi, what you said is not true." As early as more than ten years ago, Liu Chun had written health regulations for the army, and Liang Guogong could testify to this. ”
Lan Yu hurriedly stood up, full of pride.
"Your Majesty really has a good memory, although Liu Chun did not personally participate in the battle of fishing in the sea, he made a lot of contributions, not only health regulations, but also filter barrels and first aid pamphlets...... These things have saved the lives of thousands of soldiers. In the past ten years, it has been widely implemented in the army, and the number of living soldiers is unknown! Lan Yu looked at Jian Yi with contempt, "These things, what kind of four books and five classics you said can be done?" ”
In the end, it was Lan Yu, a few words made Jian Yi dare not speak, so he could only promise: "Your Majesty is ignorant, please forgive Your Majesty." ”
Zhu Di said: "In addition to these, Liu Chun has written arithmetic textbooks and explained monetary finance, and even the first emperor is full of praise. That's how my Daming Royal Bank came from, and Jimingshan College, how many talents have been trained? By the way, when Liu Chun was in Changsha, he also proposed a method to prevent and control schistosomiasis, and how many people benefited? ”
"You are all important ministers of the imperial court, Kyushu Wanfang, hundreds of millions of Li people, such a heavy burden is on you, but you are so negligent, you can't even figure out the things in front of you, how can I rest assured that I will hand over state affairs to you?"
Zhu Di really worked hard, took out Liu Chun's many years of credit, and completely blocked the mouths of these courtiers.
What to do?
Could it be that he just admits defeat and makes Liu Chun the Holy Prince?
At this time, a young low-level official walked out of the crowd, and he knelt down on his knees, "Your Majesty, Weichen Yang Pu has something to say." ”
Zhu Di glanced at it, and seemed to have some impression that this person was a Hanlin who had been transferred to Zhan Shifu not long ago. Zhu Di didn't take him seriously, just said casually: "Speak!" ”
Yang Pu kowtowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty...... Wechen heard that since ancient times, the sages have three immortals, saying virtue, speech, and meritorious service...... Only when all three are in place can it be holy. His Majesty said that Lord Liu has meritorious service to the country, compiling books, and succeeding in education, but it is just ...... It's just that Lord Liu's virtue is at a loss, and the minister thinks that he can't be the Holy Father! ”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.
This guy is just too daring.
There were many people who prevented Zhu Di from being canonized, but no one dared to directly attack Liu Chun's character.
The reason is very simple, to say that he has not done enough, that he has not written books, that he does not follow the rules, this is nothing, to say that he has a loss of virtue, that is to directly question Liu Chun's character!
If there is no evidence, nonsense, and in front of all the civil and military, then something big will happen.
If you don't do it, your life will be gone.
Zhu Di snorted coldly: "Yang Pu, do you think that the knife in my hand is not sharp enough?" ”
Yang Pu knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, the minister is loyal to the court, the monarch's father let the minister give birth to the minister, and the monarch's father wants the minister to die, and the minister will die." It's just that the minister doesn't dare to hide the Son of Heaven, the minister has something here, please look at it after Your Majesty, and you will know that what the minister said is true. ”
Zhu Di frowned, and said in his heart, what evidence does this kid really have?
"Bring it up!"
A little eunuch held a tray and delivered a small thing to Zhu Di.
Zhu Di took it in his hand, and looked carefully, it was a square porcelain, half a fist the size, still blue and white, with the pattern of Zhang Guolao riding a donkey upside down.
Zhu Di touched it lightly again, and the lid was lifted, revealing something black inside...... It's tea!
In an instant, Zhu Di figured out that this was the small pot of tea that Liu Chun had made!
This thing was originally sold overseas, how could Yang Pu have it in his hands?
That's it, he took it out at this time, this thing is going to be bad!
Back then, Liu Chun made a small pot of tea, which was to fool the foreign feudal clan and get some more money, which Lao Zhu not only knew, but also greatly appreciated.
It's just that Liu Chun was just an insignificant petty official at that time.
What's more, Lao Zhu regards him as a junior and likes him very much. Children who please adults and play a little clever will only get applause.
But now it's different, to crown Liu Chun as the Holy Duke of Yan and let him lead Shilin, but the black history has been turned out.
By any standard, deception is not the work of the sages.
You said that Liu Chun is a courtier, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, there is no problem, but if he is pushed to the high position of Yan Shenggong, this is an absolute flaw!
People will say that your science can only be used in the Ming Dynasty, and Confucianism is a universal wisdom saying, science wants to replace Confucianism, there is still a fire to come!
Some people also saw the clues, including Dao Yan, the old monk looked at Liu Chun with a smile on his face.
You kid is scheming everywhere, shaking his wit, I didn't expect it, I met an opponent!
This Yang Pu is a bit interesting, he is not very old, but he is scheming enough, and his means are also clever, which is worth cultivating. Dao Yan secretly made up his mind that he wanted to protect Yang Pu.
With this kid here, fighting wits and courage with Liu Chun, his old man is not lonely, is he!
Dao Yan once thought that he was old, and there were almost no people who could fight against Liu Chun in the Manchu Dynasty, but now it seems that there are many talents, and Liu Chun is far away from the rivers and lakes of Xiaoao.
This Yang Pu is one of them, as well as the one named Yang Rong, and the silent Yang Shiqi, these people are not simple, look, the excitement is still behind!
Dao Yan has the mentality of watching a good show.
Zhu Di's face was solemn and very displeased. He almost wanted to pull Liu Chun over and question him properly, what did you come up with this idea back then? Isn't this digging a hole for yourself?
And this matter is very troublesome, if it is pursued, it will definitely set off problems about the Ming Dynasty and overseas trade, and now Beiping is building a trade center, and it is going to move the foreign feudal capital to the past, will it cause controversy, and there is a small pot of tea Zhu Yuanzhang also agreed, will it damage the reputation of the first emperor?
Zhu Di is certainly domineering, but he can't ignore any reason, Yang Pu did hit the point. Zhu Di held the box of the small pot of tea tightly and said angrily: "Retreat!" ”
The officials retired one after another, and many people were happy and full of respect for Yang Pu, and some people wanted to talk to him. But who knows, Yang Pu is extremely cautious, his steps are hurried, and he leaves against the wall, without saying a word to anyone.
"It's really worthy of being one of the three Yangs, and he has some ability!"
Liu Chun's face was full of appreciation, and the little eunuch ran to Liu Chun's ear and said timidly: "My lord, the emperor asked you to stay." Looking at the appearance of the emperor, he was angry. ”
