Mao Ji's words were righteous and awe-inspiring.

Many nodded secretly.

Because everyone standing here is a scholar.

Everyone thinks that they are the pride of the sky.

Well, who doesn't want to have the dignity of status?

What Mao Ji said, even if it is crooked, even if it is from the perspective of other people, can be called hateful.

But for the scholars.

This is the sound of heaven.

Yes, we are scholars, and we can't be treated coldly.

Among the hundreds of officials, many people thought of the experience of starvation and freezing in Changping all the way, and their hearts were even more emotional.

What kind of iniquity is this?

Emperor Hongzhi was actually not angry.

He stared at Mao Ji.

"In this way, the food I have given you people is a sweep away?

Mao Jidao: "If you can't punish a doctor, you can't be a courtesy, this is the teaching of a saint." ”

Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "Okay, in this case, you don't have to eat this nest, I eat." ”

Mao Ji: "......"

Emperor Hongzhi was also not polite, and continued to gnaw on the nest head, eating very deliciously.

It's a bit embarrassing.

The doctor is very noble, and it is not good to eat the nest.

But isn't the emperor more noble than you, but Your Majesty has eaten it.

Emperor Hongzhi ate and hiccuped, and he looked relaxed.

Maybe......

It's just that behind this ease, Emperor Hongzhi has a kind of sadness.

More than 20 years of generosity, today ...... It's come to this point.

He had to admit that he had completely failed, which could be described as a complete failure.

Otherwise, he would never want to take the worst possible way.

But even if the holy will has been decided, Emperor Hongzhi still hopes that before that, he will show his generosity and make this Mao Ji repent.

It's easy to kill.

It's hard to punish the heart.

He wanted to punish his heart, but he ......

He saw many ministers and gentry, looking at Mao Ji, that look of appreciation, which made Emperor Hongzhi feel a frustration.

Seemingly...... It's really to the point where water and fire are incompatible.

The smile on Emperor Hongzhi's face gradually disappeared.

"I heard...... There are rumors in the market...... said that the prince was not virtuous. ”

These words were made lightly.

But as soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused an uproar.

The gentry and officials in the hall began to talk in low voices.

At this moment, the sudden mention of this matter, and the most sensitive heir issue in the palace, is ......

"Your Majesty......" Xie Qian stepped forward and bowed down: "Your Majesty, why did you say this, since orthodoxy, the country has been weakened. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince bowed to the border and swept the desert, which is a great achievement, making steam locomotives and opening railways, which is another great achievement, and the word is not virtuous, I don't know where to start. ”

Xie Qian was a little anxious.

He knows better than anyone.

The Bloodlight Plague is about to begin.

When His Majesty said in public that the prince was not virtuous, it was the time to reveal his hole cards.

Xie Qian hated Mao Ji and these people.

But he didn't want His Majesty to go on a killing spree.

Because in the event of indiscriminate killing, His Majesty will have to bear the indescribable infamy.

"As for the rumors, it is not enough to believe it, Your Majesty knows everything......"

"I ......" Emperor Hongzhi interrupted Xie Qian: "I'm not asking Xie Qing's family, I'm asking all of you who are invited to today's banquet, Mao Qing's family, what do you think?" ”

Mao Ji smiled, he saw that today's great tomorrow was different from what he had seen before, Emperor Hongzhi at that time was gentle, polite, and spoke slowly and logically, but today, it was thorny and sharp.

Many people's eyes fell on Mao Ji.

They were worried, but they suddenly felt an impulse.

Many people already have the answer in their hearts.

These imperial histories, Hanlin, these gentry, these scholars.

They were not satisfied with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

It is precisely because they are dissatisfied with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that they want to borrow the mouths of others to spit out their thoughts.

Mao Ji smiled.

He said sincerely: "The prince is not virtuous. ”

All of a sudden, the hall became a boiling oil pot.

Suddenly, everyone was dumbfounded.

Mao Ji's answer was simple, direct and powerful.

It is like a sword, piercing the Son of Heaven.

Person...... It's really daring.

It also speaks the hearts of many people.

Emperor Hongzhi's face was already difficult to see.

Because...... Things had gone in the direction he least wanted to see.

When Mao Ji said that he was not virtuous.

You have to make a difference.

If you want to kill him, but in this way, it will only fulfill Mao Ji.

Mao Ji will become a martyr and a model for the world's scholars.

Countless people will admire him and think that he is a great Confucian who dares to 'tell the truth'.

It is even possible that thousands of years later, people will compare him to Bigan and become Wei Zheng.

But Emperor Hongzhi had no way out.

Unless you make a compromise, in front of a great Confucian, make a concession, personally get out of your seat, walk in front of Mao Ji, hold his arm, and say that what Mr. said is very true, the prince is still in Youchong, and someone needs to assist him, accusing him of his mistakes, Mr. is a master, and I want to entrust the prince to Mr.

That's all...... Maybe it can make a new story.

But...... This also means that the achievements of the New Deal have been completely overturned.

Emperor Hongzhi slowly closed his eyes, in fact, from the very beginning, he knew that in front of the hearts of countless people, he was a loser, no matter what choice he made, Mao Ji was the one who won it.

Even if you kill his people and destroy his body, Emperor Hongzhi will still lose.

Emperor Hongzhi opened his eyes suddenly, and his eyes were full of murder.

"Is that so?"

"That's right." Mao Jidao: "Your Majesty, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has done has disappointed the people of the world. How can you sign your own official name and make the distinction between crowns and shoes ruined? In the past ten years, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been favored by His Majesty and allowed him to open a mansion and build teeth, so there is a town and a country, but His Royal Highness the Prince, how did he do it? What kind of people are he around? His Majesty is sage, he has his own clear judgment, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is certainly smart, but over the years, he has gone astray, and the military and people all over the world are disappointed. The Manchu court ministers were also uneasy, and the gentry were trembling. Your Majesty, the prince is lost, he should return! ”

Emperor Hongzhi said: "According to Qing, how should it be." ”

Mao Jidao: "Change the course of the law, punish the prince for approaching the former villain, set an example, depose Xinxue, and promote the gentleman to the court." ”

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "Who is a gentleman?" ”

Mao Jidao: "Those who inherit the saint and learn the right way are all gentlemen." ”

What Mao Ji said was not only angry, but also ridiculous.

Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyes, he didn't care about this Mao Ji.

What he cares about is the hundred officials standing here, these gentry.

Do these people identify with Mao Ji?

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at them lightly, and said word by word: "What about Zhuqing, what do you think?" ”

The civil and military and gentry of the Manchu Dynasty were silent at first.

Finally, Chen Feng, the right capital of the Nadu Procuratorate, said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that what Mr. Mao said is quite reasonable. ”

All of a sudden, the hall was boiling.

There is Mao Ji to find a head.

People seem to have found an outlet all of a sudden.

Many people said: "Your Majesty, the ministers seconded it." ”

"Your Majesty, although the grass people have no official position, but the court decrees are closely related to the small people, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been mistaken by traitors......"

"Your Majesty......"

Emperor Hongji watched as many people knelt down.

Some wept bitterly, others wailed.

The gentleman Zhao Yi didn't dare to make a mistake here at first.

But at this moment, he was also infected by this atmosphere.

Many gentry fell to the ground like him, taking advantage of the people's gossip and mixed with the crowd: "Your Majesty, the grass people, etc., worship the Holy Grace, receive the nectar of the Holy Emperor, and live a peaceful life for a few years, but the current situation is really worrying...... I beg Your Majesty to change your ways, and never be mistaken by traitors, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still young, if it is corrected, it is still too late, if it is not corrected, the ministers are afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will delay the society. ”

"Your Majesty......" someone began to weep bitterly.

There are also those who beat their chests and fall their feet.

Mao Ji stood with a smile on his face.

He won.

When he came, he was the victor because...... This is the hearts of the people, the hearts of the gentry of the world.

The gentry were unwilling to sit on an equal footing with a group of businessmen, and the gentry did not want to be unable to gain fame as a result of the eight shares that they were best at before.

They are the masters of the world.

Therefore, in the eyes of others, his words seem childish, and the book is very angry.

But so what, as long as the majority of these officials and gentry agree, then it is the most reasonable word.

The truth of the world is in their hands.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at so many people and wept bitterly.

My heart has become more and more irritable.

Emperor Hongzhi said sharply: "Mao Ji! ”

"The minister is here." Mao Ji looked very gentle.

Emperor Hongzhi said sharply: "You dare to discuss the government in vain, you are bold!" ”

Mao Ji's face did not change, bowed down, and kowtowed: "The minister is dead!" ”

All of a sudden, the hall fell silent, and everyone calmed down.

They held their breath and looked at the angry Emperor Hongji.

Emperor Hongzhi said coldly: "You are guilty of a capital crime. ”

"If Your Majesty thinks that the minister is guilty of death, the minister is willing to die, and he is willing to be killed, and he will die without regrets."

Mao Ji looked extraordinarily calm.

He seems to ...... I don't care about life and death.

This made Emperor Hongzhi even more frustrated.

Everyone won horizontally and vertically, even if he killed him, he would still be famous in history, which is the most noble goal for scholars.

Emperor Hongzhi gritted his teeth: "So...... Go and die. ”

"Someone!" Emperor Hongzhi said sharply: "Take down this person who deceives the people with this evil word!"

Order.

The brocade guards, who had already been ambushed outside, suddenly rushed in.

Emperor Hongzhi's face was pale: "Since you ask for death, you want to sell your name directly, I will fulfill you, spread my will, kill Mao Ji, plant his henchmen, and involve those who slander the prince, no one will be left, and there will be no forgiveness for killing!" ”

"Yes!"
