Chapter 173: The Storm Strikes
"Yan Shenggong?"
Yang Feng looked at the group of ministers in front of him and said speechlessly: "Did the Kong family resist when the thief army captured Quzhou before?" ”
He was talking about the Confucian Southern Sect. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Since the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Confucian family has been divided into two sects, the north sect is Kong Yanzhi's gang of wall grass, and now except for a few who fled to North Korea, the others are all sent to the imperial mausoleum construction site to be coolies, the only difference with Jiannu is that there is no cutting eggs, but the job is the same, it is said that this group of old men in brocade clothes and jade food only half a year to die of exhaustion, this physical fitness from their ancestors is also a huge gap!
But Nanzong hasn't dealt with it yet!
And these ministers in front of him were all who fled south with the Tang King before, and there were also local officials who were originally in the area of Fujian and Guangdong, not long ago, who brought a joint letter from the elders from all over Fujian and Guangdong to ask the emperor to withdraw the will to divide the land, but the emperor rejected it without hesitation.
Wang Duo, the former secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who had just been ordered to retire because of the book incident, raised his head, and just wanted to rely on his talent to learn from the past and the present, and was interrupted by the emperor when he organized the wording.
"Just answer yes or no!"
Yang Feng shouted sternly.
Wang Qianshangshu opened his mouth and stammered, and quickly lowered his head honestly.
The other retired ministers and well-known scholars who knelt in front of the emperor also bowed their heads.
"That is no, the Confucian family of the Southern Sect is also favored by the country, and after being a saint, he should respect the teachings of the saint, others may be more tolerant, but the Confucian family is the first person in the world to look up to, and must strictly follow the way of the saint, and cannot tolerate the slightest sloppiness. When the Confucian family of Nanzong fell in Quzhou, they did not organize their children to fight with the thief army to the end, and second, they did not organize their children to fight to the end of the bloody army, and the other did not go south to show that the Han and thieves were not separated, but they just closed the door and became a turtle with a shrunken head, which is worthy of the spirit of Confucius in the sky? As far as I know, Zuo Liangyu came to the door later, and they did not kill this traitor for the world, but had a feast with the traitor, where is their loyalty?
I didn't send them to repair the Emperor's Mausoleum, which is already an extrajudicial grace, and it is a joke that I dare to ask for an attack on the Holy Father of Fengyan.
Message.
Now that the thieves are not at peace, the Kong family is the head of the clothes, and they should serve the country.
All the men of the Southern Sect of the Confucian Family formed a separate gentleman's battalion and sent them to serve in front of the Guangling Wangjun, if they can make meritorious contributions, of course I will not hesitate to reward them, and my title is given to those who have meritorious service, not to those who only have a good ancestor, let alone an ancestor thousands of years ago! ”
Yang Feng said.
"Huh?!"
Wang Duo and the others were all stupid.
Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the men of the Confucian family are all literati, and they can't go to the battlefield!
Wang Duo hurriedly shouted.
"Ridiculous, the six arts of the gentleman, that's what Confucius advocated, can't he even know how to shoot as a descendant of Kong Sheng? Then this kind of unscrupulous descendant I have to discipline Kong Sheng well! ”
Yang Feng said viciously.
Well, the fate of the Southern Sect of the Confucian family was doomed, and then a large number of Jinyi guards went to Quzhou to catch the strong men.
The Southern Sect of the Confucian Family has multiplied so far, and it is estimated that hundreds of young and middle-aged people can still make it up, so let's just say that you don't know how to shoot the emperor! Understand, just go to Hangu Pass, Wu Sangui's army is there and Li Guo bloody battle, more than 300,000 people on both sides have been fighting fiercely on the Kun Han Road for almost half a year, including a new formation of a Zhendang Kou army has also rushed to reinforcements, because a large number of Huihui and monks have been put into the battlefield, the recent battle has been particularly fierce, the people in Mengjin can see the dead bodies floating down from the Yellow River every day, as saints, they should take the lead in the world, and the battlefield death does not live up to the ancestral teachings......
They'll get their way.
If you don't know how to shoot......
What the? This is the teachings of your ancestors, even the teachings of your ancestors have forgotten, you are clearly not filial, I tell you that this is a very serious crime, the Holy Dynasty rules the world with filial piety, and the emperor attaches great importance to filial piety, so your problem is very serious, so serious that you should go to the imperial mausoleum construction site to reflect on it!
That's it.
However, Yang Feng's move completely ignited the fuse of anger in the Jiangnan cultural circles.
Previously, he had announced a new method of holding the subject, that is, there is no limit to merit and fame, and all literate adult men, regardless of their status, can go to the county government to register for the preliminary examination, as long as they can write more than 1,000 words, they will pass the preliminary examination, and then record their names and wait for the official examination. No matter what status you have, whether it is a Confucian scholar, a businessman, a retired soldier, or even a cattle herder in the countryside or a miscellaneous worker in the city, as long as you can write a thousand commonly used words, you will be considered qualified for the examination, and then wait for the emperor to study the test papers next year before the official examination.
There is no need to go to Beijing to catch the exam, just take the exam yourself in each county.
Those who pass the examination will not be awarded any more talents, this kind of title has been completely thrown into the garbage heap since then, even the tribute institutes in Beijing and Nanjing have been rebuilt into schools, and all those who have passed the examination will be appointed as officials according to their respective strengths, even if you were a person before, you can only be a clerk if you pass this exam, and if you want to be promoted, it depends on your future work performance, and this appointment is not a lifelong system, once you make a mistake, you can be dismissed at any time.
This doesn't matter to those literate ordinary people, they are already very satisfied if they can be officials, after all, officials are also a stable and decent job, not to mention that they can continue to be promoted if they work well.
But the scholars were going mad.
To ask them to have a starting line with those lowly servants, those vendors, those old Qiu Ba, and those mud-legged people, squeeze into the same examination room to do the same questions, and maybe they will have to work together in the future, this is simply an insult to their personality, who are they? They are all the pillars of the country who are full of poetry and books, they are born to be superior, they were born to be jinshi and become officials, and those untouchables only deserve to be trampled under their feet, and now they are actually asked to take the exam side by side with these untouchables?
It's ridiculous!
This dog emperor is simply mad to the extreme.
It can be said that since this holy decree was issued, scholars everywhere have been holding back their anger, just waiting for a fuse, and after Wang Duo and others withdrew from the palace, this fuse was completely ignited, and fighting for the rights of Sage Kong in the future is a rather appealing banner.
Not only them, but also Fujian, Guangdong, Guizhou, Guizhou, Yunnan and all the bureaucrats and gentry in southern Hunan, Jiangxi and Zhejiang, who had not fallen before, these local officials will definitely not be purged like other places, and the local gentry will also not be able to raid their homes, after all, everyone has fought to the end for the Ming Dynasty. However, Yang Feng's equalization system seriously hurt the interests of these people, even if these fields were purchased, and they could not accept the purchase of two banknotes per mu of land. But they did not dare to openly oppose it, and the gentry in the north who openly opposed it ended up very bleak, but they could take this opportunity to push these scholars to be cannon fodder to teach the emperor a lesson and vent the anger in their hearts.
They still dare to do this kind of thing.
Immediately after the news spread that the emperor refused to confer the title of Confucius in Quzhou as the Holy Duke of Yan and requisitioned his men to serve as cannon fodder on the battlefield, under the instigation and sponsorship of some people with ulterior motives, Xiucaiju, who had already been full of grief and indignation, began to flock to Nanjing from all over the country, preparing to launch a large-scale petition, or a large-scale palace forcing operation.
"A bunch of things that don't know whether to live or die!"
Yang Feng said disdainfully.
This kind of thing certainly won't escape his surveillance.
Liang Cheng said: "Your Majesty, according to the statistics of Jinyiwei, more than 30,000 scholars have poured into Nanjing from all over the country during this time, and all the inns in Nanjing are overcrowded, and even the prices of restaurants in the city have risen. Headed by Huang Zongxi, the son of Huang Zunsu, the former deputy envoy of Shandong, Mao Xiang, the son of Mao Qizong, the former deputy envoy of the Shandong Imperial Palace, and Chen Zhenhui, the son of Chen Yuting, the former imperial history of the left capital, were ...... Chen Zhixuan, the son of Chen Zubao, the former governor of Shuntian, for his crimes.
"Wait a minute!"
Yang Feng interrupted him and said, "What's going on with this Chen Zhixuan? ”
Chen Zhixuan should have been a good dog of Dolgon in the original history!
"Back to Your Majesty, Chen Zhixuan is Chongzhen's ten-year example, edited for the Hanlin Academy, because his father committed suicide after being dismissed when he was dismissed when he was a slave offender, so His Majesty deposed him, and he had been in Haining's hometown before, and he followed the Tang King to escape Fuzhou when he fell into Haiyan. This time, according to the minister's knowledge, he should be one of the masterminds, but this person is scheming, on the surface, he is not as good as Huang Zongxi and others, in addition, Huang Zongxi and others also shouted a crazy slogan, saying that the law of the emperor should be replaced by the law of the world, and that the world is the guest of the lord! ”
Liang Cheng said.
"Well, it's the Enlightenment!"
Yang Feng said gloomily.
It's just that now in this enlightenment he is the villain, the villain is the villain, he likes the feeling of being a villain, restricting the monarchy, at least not now, what the current Ming needs is a strong monarch, not what a democratic system, that has to wait for the completion of the industrial revolution of the Ming Dynasty, and the strength to crush all the enemies before considering.
"Leave them alone, I'm going to see how bold this waste can be!"
Yang Feng said.
Then he climbed to a high wooden platform in front of him, and at this time, in front of this high platform, thousands of soldiers of the Swing Army lined up neatly, one by one with bayonets on their shoulders, wearing wide-brimmed helmets, wearing red military uniforms, looking like a solemn atmosphere. In front of them, there were cannons, and next to the infantry ranks, the two hundred cavalry of the brigade's cavalry reconnaissance post were also lined up, controlling the war horses in one hand and holding the saber in the other.
And on the Yangtze River behind this large army, countless warships covered almost the entire river.
This is the Japanese army.
