Chapter 322 The emperor is leaving the capital
Zhu Youxiao looked at Xu Guangqi and said, "I will leave this matter to others. You can prepare it with peace of mind. This will give you a venue specifically for compiling these books."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xu Guangqi quickly agreed.
"Okay, you go back first!" Zhu Youxiao looked at Xu Guangqi and spoke slowly.
After Xu Guangqi left, Zhu Youxiao leaned on the rocking chair, tapping the armrest with his fingers gently. The expression on his face was a little hesitant. After a while, he seemed to have made up some decision. The expression on his face disappeared, and hesitant, more firm.
Turning to look at Chen Hong, Zhu Youxiao said, "Go and find Wei Zhongxian for me,"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Hong quickly agreed, then turned around and ran outward. It was obvious that His Majesty had something to leave to Wei Zhongxian for another.
For Wei Zhongxian, this period of time was not easy.
Since His Majesty ascended the throne, Wei Zhongxian has been valued and his status has grown very quickly. However, his status has not been so high recently and his life has not been easy.
First of all, the competition comes from the traditional old rival Jinyiwei.
After that guy Luo Sigong went down, he originally thought that the Jinyiwei would decline for a while, but who would have thought that Xu Xianchun would come up and get the attention and appointment of His Majesty. The Jinyiwei was very glorious during this period.
Following the Tongzheng Department, the position grew very fast.
In addition, he did not do much in the officialdom, and the status of several cabinet ministers became more and more stable. With the Tongzhengsi government, the life of Dongchang became more and more difficult.
In recent times, Your Majesty has not arranged any new errands for himself.
Wei Zhongxian knew very well what this meant to the eunuchs in the palace. This was a sign of his loss of favor, which made Wei Zhongxian very anxious.
But there has never been any good way. His Majesty cannot use him and insists on getting on, it may backfire. After hearing the summons, Wei Zhongxian hurriedly came.
I was so excited that my chance finally came.
Looking at Wei Zhongxian running in, Zhu Youxiao said, "Put your breath evenly before talking."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wei Zhongxian quickly agreed.
When Wei Zhongxian stopped breathing, Zhu Youxiao said, "I have something to hand over to you. You have to do it for me."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will do it." Wei Zhongxian quickly spoke and promised.
"I have fallen in love with some books recently, and they are all brought by foreigners. I want to find more books, so I'll let you do this."
"By the way, those books are written in their words. You go and bring those people to the capital and let them translate all the books for me."
"I heard that there are many churches in Nanchang and other places. You can find people there."
After hearing this, Wei Zhongxian quickly said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will arrange for the staff when I go back and will definitely find the people for Your Majesty. All these books will be sent to the capital intact."
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Then you go and do it."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wei Zhongxian agreed and quickly saluted for life: "I will leave."
Looking at Wei Zhongxian's back, Zhu Youxiao breathed a sigh of relief. After explaining this matter, Wei Zhongxian would definitely be able to do it well. After all, he has been holding it in so long, and he will definitely work hard when he has an errand.
As for whether those people are willing to come or not, it is not within Zhu Youxiao's consideration.
Whether it is Dongchang or Wei Zhongxian, they have no worries when doing things. The only goal they want to achieve is to make themselves happy, so they have no worries when doing things.
This is why he didn't let Xu Guangqi do it, but instead let Wei Zhongxian do it.
If those missionaries make trouble, Wei Zhongxian will do it directly. Moreover, Wei Zhongxian will collect books without considering any means.
After arranging the matter, Zhu Youxiao was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
In the next few days, there was no big deal in the court, and everyone's attention was focused on the imperial examination, which made the court much more stable.
However, it was not that there was no news, and the imperial examinations also caused chaos.
The reason is very simple. Feng Congwu did a great job in the imperial examination questions this time, and he did a lot of tricks on the questions in the imperial examinations this time.
He changed the Four Books and Five Classics that should have been examined into Xunzi.
The title of the imperial examination is "Heaven has its time, earth has its talents, and man has its governance."
This sentence comes from Xunzi's theory of heaven, which refers to the most direct thing about Xunzi's thoughts. The distinction between heaven and man. Once this test question is released, it can be said that it is an uproar in public opinion.
Countless people ran and howled, and countless people cursed.
However, in the court, he was surprisingly silent about this matter. It seemed that no one heard it, and it seemed that it had never happened.
This aroused the anger of scholars even more. Countless people began to run, hoping that someone could stand up and speak.
For many scholars who read Mencius, this matter was a catastrophe. For a moment, there were public opinions all over the capital, and even several incidents of scholars causing trouble.
Many people are worried about this, afraid of something going on.
Of course, some people don’t like it. They put on some questions, but they did not target Xunzi, but directly targeted Feng Congwu, impeaching and talking about the injustice of the imperial examination.
To put it bluntly, he favors the students of the academy and fails to achieve fairness and justice.
There are not many people who have applied this question book, mainly to test Zhu Youxiao's attitude. If Zhu Youxiao has no attitude, they will continue to apply the question book.
In the palace, Zhu Youxiao looked through the question book, but there was no expression on his face.
He threw these questions of impeachment Feng Congwu aside, then picked up the tea and took a sip. This is actually what Zhu Youxiao wanted, and these things he wanted to change.
Of course it is impossible to listen to these people talking nonsense at this time.
The guiding ideology of the Ming Dynasty must be changed. The way of Confucius and Mencius cannot be done, and it must be replaced by Xunzi's theory. This is something that Zhu Youxiao has always insisted on and that he has always wanted to promote.
For all students, the principles they defend are their interests.
If they move their Taoism themselves, they will touch their interests. It would be strange if they don’t speak. Turning back to look at Chen Hong, Zhu Youxiao said, “Let the Jinyiwei stare. If someone makes trouble and makes too fierce, let them arrest people.”
"But tell Xu Xianchun not to kill anyone."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will tell him." Chen Hong said quickly.
If this matter is not killed, it is no big deal. The ministers in the court will not make trouble with themselves because of this matter.
After all, this matter has been discussed before.
Now that the court is evenly matched, no one can do anything to each other, so Zhu Youxiao is not worried about any problems in the court. As long as there is no problem in the court, just press down on it.
I just want to tell all scholars in the world through this imperial examination to change their families.
If you dare not change your family, you will have no way out. Zhu Youxiao believes in people with ulterior motives, but more people study just to be officials and to make a name for themselves, they will change their family quickly.
When you spread the academy yourself, more people will join the academy.
The reason is also very simple. The students of the academy have advantages in exams. For Zhu Youxiao, who has experienced exam-oriented education, he understands very well what it is like to study for the exam.
When you do what you do later, things will be much simpler.
As for what to do in the future, this matter is quite troublesome, because Zhu Youxiao wanted to leave the capital. So he remembered someone again and glanced at Chen Hong. Zhu Youxiao said, "If you speak out, I will say that I have been suffering from nightmares recently."
After hearing this, Chen Hong was stunned and quickly said, "Your Majesty, do you want to find the imperial doctor to come and see it?"
"No need." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "Just just let the news go out. In addition, let Han Li come over and do a few rituals in the palace to drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters for me."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Hong quickly agreed.
Although he didn't know what his Majesty was going to do, Chen Hong knew very well. What he had to do this time was probably not a small thing.
It’s better not to mix it up yourself. Just stare at Xu Xianchun and don’t cause any trouble.
Zhu Youxiao's nightmare was spread soon, and then the harem began to do rituals. These things made the people in the court confused.
Some people even came to the question book and advised Zhu Youxiao not to be too superstitious about ghosts and gods?
Zhu Youxiao naturally ignored this. Things like ghosts and gods will definitely not be too convinced in the future. Because he recommended Xunzi's theory. Maybe he will take out the Ming ghosts of the Mo family in the future, but now is not the time.
After the matter fermented for a few days, Zhu Youxiao recruited several cabinet ministers.
After a few people arrived in the palace, they saw Zhu Youxiao, who was leaning on the couch with a look of lack of energy. Xu Guangqi quickly spoke, "Your Majesty, why not take a look at the imperial doctor!"
Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "I know my health myself, so I don't need to look for the imperial doctor."
"Han Li has told me that the reason why I am plagued by nightmares is because my ancestors have dreams. My Ming Dynasty has a great disaster, and the earthquake in Shandong is a sign of it. So I really want to leave Beijing, worship the ancestors to pray for their blessings."
Listening to what Zhu Youxiao said, the few people were a little confused. It was too sudden and could not react for a moment.
His Majesty actually wanted to leave the capital, but found a reason to worship the ancestors and tombs.
