Han Yike said: "Your Majesty, my daughter does not have her feet bound."

Yunxi said: "Then you agree with foot binding?"

Han Yike said: "I do not agree with foot binding."

Yunxi said: "Since your daughter does not have her feet bound, and you do not agree with foot binding, why do you support those who agree with foot binding?"

Han Yike just said: "Chen,..."

Yunxi interrupted him and said, "Are you trying to say that I can't tolerate others because of my words?"

Han Yike lowered his head and said, "I don't dare."

Yunxi said: "The "Huang Ming Ancestor Instructions" says: Anyone who dares to speak against the royal family will be beheaded. Do you mean to say that Taizu is also an emperor who cannot tolerate words?"

Han Yike lowered his head and said in fear: "I don't dare."

Yunxi said: "Then what do you mean!"

Han Yi didn't know what to say.

Yunxi said: "Han Yike, I regard you as the magistrate of Lingao County, Qiongzhou Prefecture. You should take office immediately."

Han Yike was stunned immediately. He really didn't expect Yunxi to be so determined and decisive. He and Jiao Sheng didn't know what to do for a long time. Yunxi stopped talking to them.

The officials all saw Yunxi's attitude and would never tolerate civil servants who dared to make innuendo. Although Jiao Sheng was considered to be demoted from the central to the local government, he was still a seventh-rank official after all, and he was still nominally equal. Han

Yi Ke could be directly demoted from the deputy capital censor of the fourth rank to the county magistrate of the seventh rank, and the punishment would be very severe.

At the same time, the ministers also saw that Yunxi attached great importance to the prohibition of foot binding. Poor Han Yike became the guinea pig for everyone to test the behavior of the new emperor.

The emperor in the early Ming Dynasty had great power, and Yunxi had been the crown prince for six years. He had cronies in every yamen, and no one could stop Yunxi's order from being passed. Other civil servants would not go against the emperor because of such a thing.

After Jiao Sheng and Han Yike were dealt with, no other minister came forward to raise objections. After all, although these five things seemed like a lot, they did not violate the interests of any department, let alone the collective interests of the civil service. Yun Xi

The selection of these matters on the day of the first court meeting was carefully considered to ensure that no one's interests would be offended. Therefore, the ministers could not object.

Yunxi has finished everything he wants to say today. He looks at the time and plans to ask Fengyu to announce the next court.

But at this moment, a man came out and said, "I have something to report."

Yunxi took a closer look and saw that it was Song Lin. Yunxi knew most of the officials who were qualified to go to the Central Dynasty, and even all the officials who went to the small dynasty. Yunxi said, "What do you want, sir?"

Song Lin said: "Your Majesty, I heard yesterday that your Majesty wants to actually grant the prince a kingdom. Is there anything wrong?"

Yunxi said: "That's true."

Song Lin said: "Your Majesty, six years ago, my ministers said that enfeoffment was not feasible, so why does Your Majesty still want to enfeoff."

Song Lin's father was a great Confucian, and he himself was also a Confucian minister who was deeply influenced by Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism. Six years ago, he participated in the discussion with no clear results. Now that group of great Confucians are no longer in the court, Song Lin

So he stood up to represent Confucianism, the Neo-Confucian school.

Yunxi attached great importance to his words. It is best not to deal with true Confucian ministers through strong methods. Such people have the ideal of martyrs. Killing them physically is not only useless, but even counterproductive.

But when Yunxi was about to open his mouth to argue with Song Lin, Lin Jiayou stood up and said: "Song Scholar's words are wrong. The original intention of Kong Sage was to build a feudal state to protect the central government. How come the feudal system is not feasible?

But you still need to be careful about how to implement enfeoffment."

Song Lin was startled, and then said: "..." Then the two of them started fighting over each other.

Yunxi was startled at first, and then realized that although Lin Jiayou was also a true Confucian minister, he admired the Zhou rites and believed that it was the origin of Confucianism, so he supported enfeoffment.

Yunxi also remembered that in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, there were still many Confucian officials who believed in Zhou Rites. Six years ago, Fang Xiaoru in Bashu heard about this incident and wrote a special note to support Yunxi's point of view.

This is actually inevitable. Because the Song Dynasty fell at the hands of the Mongols, the Confucian officials at that time did not know that the Mongols in Temujin's era were cheating, so they kept looking for the reasons for the country's collapse within themselves. In addition, they were officials in the Hongwu era.

Not necessarily from the imperial examination, so the ideas of the Song Dynasty were not very popular in the Hongwu era. Everyone looked for the correct Confucianism from the ancient times, so everyone believed in anything.

After a while, more civil servants got involved in the debate, all citing scriptures. The generals next to them didn't know what they were talking about, and they were distracted. Even Yunxi deserted.

Yunxi was also thinking about Confucianism. Regarding Confucianism, Yunxi's thoughts were complicated. Confucianism helped China become a unified country, but at the same time it became more and more closed in the later period, hindering the development of the country. Although Yunxi knew this

It was because the emperor's choice did not entirely depend on Confucianism, but it was still uncomfortable.

But Yunxi must adhere to Confucianism. Broadly speaking, Confucianism has been China's Juche ideology for more than a thousand years. Although it does not follow Confucianism in specific applications, it is still under the name of Confucianism. Its abolition will definitely create an elite class.

If the mind is confused, the country will be doomed.

Speaking of childhood, Yunxi is now a beneficiary of Confucianism. Why is Yunxi a higher-ranked heir than Yunwen? According to Zhu Yuanzhang's canonization, Concubine Chang and Concubine Lu are both Zhu Biao's wives, and Yunwen is better than Yunwen.

It needs to be big.

The main reason is that Confucianism does not recognize the existence of equal wives, believes that a person can only have one head wife, and opposes concubines as wives. Concubine Chang comes first, Concubine Lu comes last, so according to Confucian views, Concubine Chang is the head wife.

Concubine Lu can only be a concubine.

After Concubine Chang died, Concubine Lu could be regarded as the head wife, but Confucianism opposed concubines as wives. The status of the children of a wife who was supported by a concubine was lower than that of the children who were directly the head wife. Therefore, Yunxi was the first wife.

The first heir. Of course, if Zhu Biao marries another head wife from outside the palace after the death of Concubine Chang, then the status of the children of this new head wife will be the same as that of Yun Xi.

Moreover, Yunxi can actually choose his favorite Confucian sect now, and he still has room for choice.

However, Yunxi looked at the engraving he placed next to him. It was almost noon. These civil servants had been discussing this matter for an hour and a half and it was not over yet. Aren't they thirsty?

Yunxi hurriedly said loudly: "My ministers, my ministers, my ministers." He said this several times before everyone became quiet.

Then Yunxi said: "My lords, my decision has been made. The enfeoffment must be carried out. There is no need to discuss it further."

Then Yunxi looked at the faces of Lin Jiayou's group and said: "But how to divide the feudal clan? Yesterday I only discussed it for the first time with the two uncles, and it has not yet been decided. I will discuss with all the ministers and ministers how to divide the feudal clan and will not act arbitrarily."

The faces of Lin Jiayou's group became brighter. Yunhe struck while the iron was hot and said: "It's almost noon today. I'm afraid a lot of things have piled up in your yamen. I have to go back to review the memorial. That's it for today.

.”

Then Fengyu immediately shouted: "Retreat from the court!" Yunxi hurriedly left, fearing that some civil servants would stop him.

In fact, it's okay for him not to leave so quickly. After all, the reason he said for leaving the court was right. Many people really remembered that there were still many things in their yamen that they had to go back to deal with, so everyone said goodbye to each other.
