Before Sun Shenxing even wrote the resignation letter, Zhu Youxiao felt that he would not be honest and might even cause trouble.

Zhu Youxiao had already guessed this, but he didn't expect Sun Shenxing to do something like this.

In Zhu Youxiao's view, Sun Shenxing was cheating!

In the Donglin Party case, Sun Shenxing is definitely not innocent.

Sun Shenxing knew that he might be implicated in the aftermath anyway, so he chose this approach. Now that he is on the opposite side of the emperor because of this incident, he will gain support from countless people, and his reputation among the people will also increase rapidly.

promote.

If he, the emperor, did something to Sun Shenxing afterwards, in the eyes of others, he would be taking revenge on him.

In this way, Sun Shenxing's reputation will be very high in the historical records; at that time, the bad reputation will belong to himself.

There is no need to wait until the historical records are recorded. As soon as this news gets out, Sun Shenxing's reputation will rise rapidly.

Especially for those who oppose Chen Kedao, Sun Shenxing will become a symbol and a role model for these people.

If Sun Shenxing did not do it on purpose, even if he killed Zhu Youxiao, he would not believe it.

Now if he had a knife in his hand, Zhu Youxiao really wanted to go over and chop Sun Shenxing to death. Of course, it was not all for his own reputation. Zhu Youxiao had long forgotten about his reputation.

If Sun Shenxing does this, it will prevent the implementation of subsequent policies and make it more difficult for Zhu Youxiao to push forward.

He had just said that practice is the only criterion for testing truth. Sun Shenxing used this attitude to object at this time. This was a declaration to himself and his determination to defend it to the whole world.

Sun Shenxing defends academies all over the world and the freedom of teaching. He will definitely be praised by these people and become a new benchmark figure!

This is forcing him, the emperor, to deal with him, because he cannot let him go home.

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao also felt very regretful. If he had known better, he would have given Sun Shenxing a few immortality pills that Han Li practiced.

Looking at Sun Shenxing, Zhu Youxiao's face quickly darkened.

If you let Sun Shenxing go home, he will be a living benchmark. In this way, these people will have a leader, and the opposition will be stronger by then.

But if he kills Sun Shenxing, his reputation as the emperor will be damaged and things will become very difficult to handle.

This is forcing yourself!

How could Zhu Youxiao be happy?

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao also probably understood why the Donglin Party was able to defeat so many people. The Donglin Party is really desperate for life, and can really force you to suffer unspeakably.

Do you have a way to explain it to others? You have no way to explain it to others.

Looking at Sun Shenxing, Zhu Youxiao didn't say anything for a long time.

No one in the court spoke a word, and several bachelors in the cabinet were also shocked, especially Han Xu.

Han Xu didn't expect Sun Shenxing to be so decisive. You know how Sun Shenxing made him feel before, that is, he was scheming and selfish.

When Sun Shenxing framed him, he was really capable, and he even hated him for a time. But now seeing this scene, Han Xu felt that he didn't hate Sun Shenxing that much.

Han Xu instantly understood that Sun Shenxing was trying to win back his reputation. Once this incident spread, the outside world's evaluation of Sun Shenxing would be unprecedentedly high.

At that time, no one will mention the things that happened before Sun Shenxing; even if someone mentions it, it will be considered as a frame-up and slander against him.

Maybe even he, Old Han, would become a villain. Han Xu raised his head and glanced at Zhu Youxiao, wondering what his Majesty would do.

You must know that Sun Shenxing is forcing His Majesty. Will Your Majesty retreat?

Xu Guangqi, the Second Assistant to the Cabinet, is most worried about this. If His Majesty really retreats, then people like him will be in trouble.

Zhu Youxiao knew that of course he couldn't retreat. If he really retreated, things would be very difficult and he wouldn't have to do anything in the future.

The fist placed on the handle of the dragon chair tightened again and again, and with a gentle smile, Zhu Youxiao said calmly: "In that case, I will help you."

"Come here, let Sun Shenxing be dismissed as an official and go down to the imperial prison of Jinyiwei."

After these words were spoken, a man suddenly came out, took off his official hat, knelt on the ground, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, in this case, I also resign."

Zhu Youxiao looked over and saw that it was Gao Panlong. A smile suddenly appeared on his face again, but this time he smiled angrily.

"Okay, very good. This is the way of your sages. This is what you read in the books of sages. This is your way of being loyal to your emperor and serving as your ministers. Very good, very good!"

Zhu Youxiao almost finished speaking through gritted teeth, and then ordered: "Come here, push them down."

He glanced coldly at the ministers.

Everyone tightened their necks and lowered their heads.

"Is there anyone else? If so, you can stand up now, and I will help you all once and for all." Zhu Youxiao had a smile on his face, but everyone knew that the emperor was in the most danger this time.

Han Xu looked at Sun Shenxing and Gao Panlong who were pushed down, with a gloomy expression on his face.

Han Xu knew that these two people had played another big game, but it was not themselves who were deceived, but those who really wanted to protect the way of saints.

If you force Your Majesty like this, Your Majesty will definitely not give in, and then the lectures and the academies around the world will be in trouble.

Under such circumstances, it is really unwise to do such a thing. It is intensifying the conflict, and the only one who can benefit is themselves.

Sun Shenxing and Gao Panlong will be at the top of their game, and they will be praised by everyone, but what's the use?

Instead, things took a turn for the worse. The original fight between ministers turned into a fight involving His Majesty himself.

This is because they directly dragged the emperor in, and the emperor could not come in even if he wanted to.

Thinking of this, Han Xu became furious and wished he could kill Sun Shenxing in prison, but he knew he couldn't do that.

He even dared not speak against Sun Shenxing, because if he did, he would be attacked by a group of people, and his reputation among the people would be ruined.

Seeing that no one was talking, Zhu Youxiao said: "In that case, let's continue the discussion. The cabinet will come up with the candidate for the Minister of Rites as soon as possible."

After a pause, Zhu Youxiao continued to speak: "Lectures and academies are prohibited and will be implemented on a trial basis in Shuntian Mansion. This is still the same sentence. Practice is the only criterion for testing principles. You will know how things are after you try them."

"Your Majesty, I have this memorial." Xu Guangqi stood up this time and said respectfully.

Originally Xu Guangqi didn't want to stand up, but at this time he felt that he couldn't stand up and His Majesty urgently needed support.

At this time, if I don't support His Majesty, then no one will really support His Majesty.

Xu Guangqi wants His Majesty to see that not everyone is Sun Shenxing, and not everyone is Gao Panlong.

Those of us who support His Majesty, we think what His Majesty says makes sense.

You must know that what Xu Guangqi and the others wanted to do must have His Majesty's support, otherwise they would not be able to do it at all. When His Majesty faced these things, they also had to stand up, so Xu Guangqi stood up without hesitation.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Xu Guangqi, waved his hand and said, "Ai Qing, step aside and listen to what I have to say."

Zhu Youxiao's words stunned everyone.

No one expected that Zhu Youxiao would say such a thing. You must know that Xu Guangqi is the second assistant in the cabinet, and he is also a very favored minister of Zhu Youxiao. In addition, he is also the elder of Chen Kedao, so everyone can guess what he will say.

In other words, Xu Guangqi had to bear the burden for His Majesty, and he was about to stand in front, but His Majesty drove Xu Guangqi back.

Everyone looked at Xu Guangqi differently. His Majesty really loved and protected him.

In fact, Zhu Youxiao really thought so.

Zhu Youxiao would never underestimate the determination of these people to defend their own orthodoxy. Sun Shenxing dared to do that, and so did Xu Guangqi and the others. Li Zhi could cut his own throat and commit suicide for his ideals, and Xu Guangqi and the others would definitely inherit this part.

But in this case, if you have already been dragged into the water, then you can use your gender to drag Xu Guangqi into the water. You must know that Xu Guangqi is used to do practical things. Once Xu Guangqi is dragged into the water, things will not be easy to handle.

I cannot let Xu Guangqi become the starting point of the party struggle.

Since you have dragged me into the water, let's have some fun.

Zhu Youxiao felt furious in his heart and said expressionlessly: "Since academies and lectures are prohibited, it is impossible for the whole court to ignore the reputation of scholars and spread the teachings of saints. This is also necessary. I hope it will be regulated.

, rather than banning it outright."

"So I will establish a new academy in Shuntian Prefecture. The education of Shuntian Prefecture will be in charge and it will be governed by the Ministry of Rites. As for what to teach and how to teach it, it will be stipulated by the Ministry of Rites. As for anyone who wants to give lectures, they can go to the government-run academy to give lectures.

, as long as the academy agrees."

"Besides this, private lectures are prohibited, and private management of academies is prohibited. Those who violate the prohibition will be severely punished."

Originally, Zhu Youxiao didn't plan to take this out so early, but now he has no choice but to do it. If he doesn't take it out, he really won't be able to do anything.

This is a way out, a direction to alleviate conflicts. It is impossible for scholars to really cause trouble.

"Another point is that in the future, the provincial examinations in Shuntian Prefecture will be selected from the academy's textbooks." After a slight pause, Zhu Youxiao spoke again.

This sentence is the key to what Zhu Youxiao wants to say. Since you don't agree with my approach, then don't be my official. If you want to be my official, just bow your head to me.

"Anyone who enters the academy to study can directly take the provincial examination." Zhu Youxiao said again.

This is like dropping a bomb directly on the court!

You must know that to be a scholar, you need to have the reputation of being a scholar, otherwise you don't even think about it. Zhu Youxiao's imperial edict directly abolished this article, allowing students to take the academy exam instead of the scholar exam.

Zhu Youxiao added: "Every year, the academy will hold a year-end assessment. Those who rank in the top ten in the year-end assessment do not need to take the provincial examination, but can directly take the national examination."

This sentence is even more scary. As long as you study well in the academy, you don't even need to take the imperial examination, you can directly take the imperial examination.

This is differentiation and co-optation!

Those who resist to the end will be killed directly; those who surrender will be given benefits.
Chapter completed!
