Chapter 413 Deprivation of Fame(1/2)

This question is really not easy to answer. The key is that this time the matter is really too big, and it may affect them.

Who knows if they were making trouble later? I guess His Majesty also doubted it. The only one who can get out of the relationship is probably Xu Guangqi.

Xu Guangqi's position is different from that of Han and the others, and he is not from the Donglin Party. On the contrary, he is the most determined person around His Majesty, so His Majesty will definitely trust him.

The person who was most worried about was Han Dong, after all, he was from the Donglin Party.

However, this time the matter was strange everywhere. No one could tell what the situation would be like, and there was no good idea for a while.

But His Majesty asked, but he still had to say that Han Yu and others were thinking.

Xu Guangqi glanced at Han and the others, knowing that neither of them would speak.

So Xu Guangqi said, "Your Majesty, this matter may need to be discussed for a long time. Although these people have committed serious crimes, they should be severely punished. However, there are many public opinions outside now, which is really difficult to deal with."

Xu Guangqi was actually very worried, for fear that His Majesty would start a massacre.

Xu Guangqi still has some understanding of His Majesty’s character.

Being brave and persevering, clear-minded, and able to actively accept other people's suggestions are all the advantages of Your Majesty today.

But Your Majesty is young, he is prone to impulsiveness in doing things, and he is not ruthless when killing others. This is what Xu Guangqi is most worried about.

Once the conflict is intensified, things will be difficult to handle.

If the Ming Dynasty wants to enrich the country and strengthen the army, it needs the support of many people. It does not mean that it is enough to kill all those who oppose it. If it is killed, it will be disloyal and unkind, and there will be something that will not be available to you.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Xu Guangqi and said with a smile: "Although I am angry, I am not yet at the point of using a knife."

"Your dear, you don't have to go around the corner if you have anything to say. Today, we are the only monarch and ministers here. You are all the ministers I trust the most. If you have anything to say, it's okay, and I believe it won't be revealed."

When he said this, Zhu Youxiao was watching Han Du.

This glance alone made Han Du feel relieved.

Xu Guangqi nodded and said, "I think this matter should be comforted. Of course, the most important thing is not the people in front of me. Those who oppose the reform of the academy can be severely punished."

"The most urgent task is to build confidence and to make those who support the reform of the academy have confidence in their hearts."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "What I said makes sense. But I think what I should do to make them have confidence?"

After hearing this, Xu Guangqi breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at Zhu Youxiao, and said directly: "I think I should enthrone the Kong family."

After Xu Guangqi finished speaking, the room suddenly became quiet, and even his breathing became much smaller.

After returning from Shandong, countless people mentioned the matter of enthroning the Kong family. Everyone hopes that His Majesty can re-enthrone the Kong family.

This matter has not been successful, the main reason is that His Majesty opposes. In this matter, His Majesty's attitude is very firm, obviously what the Kong family did before made His Majesty extremely disgusted.

When talking about the Kong family at this time, are you afraid that Your Majesty will not be angry?

Han Du looked at Xu Guangqi and felt that Xu Guangqi had taken the wrong medicine.

Those people are making such a big fuss now that they are asking His Majesty to enthrone the Kong family at this time? What do you think?

"I think it is better to not only enthrone the Kong family, but also let them preside over the reform of the academy. From this, it can be considered legitimate, and scholars in the world will not have any rebellious mentality. Once someone makes trouble, someone will naturally criticize them."

Zhu Youxiao looked at Xu Guangqi who was talking and sighed in his heart.

In fact, this is what Zhu Youxiao thought. He had already thought about enthroning the Kong family. But he didn't want to use this trick before he had no choice.

This is Zhu Youxiao's plan B. He wanted to try it out. If there were no Confucius, could he do it?

But the current situation is that those scholars are causing trouble.

Without anyone commanding, there will be a mess.

If Zhu Youxiao enthroned the Kong family, this matter would be solved. They could not refuse to recognize themselves as disciples of the Kong family, right?

With the imperial power and the Kong family under the pressure, no one dares to jump out; if someone jumps out again, it will not be tolerated by the royal family, nor will it be tolerated by the Kong family.

Of course, this is just a statement. In fact, it is just a name given to the surrendered person.

Why did the Kong family be the first to be enthroned after the rebellion of dynasties? Even the Qing Dynasty is no exception?

The reason is very simple. The Kong family is the tablet of scholars.

As long as the Kong family chooses to surrender, there will naturally be no psychological barriers when others surrender.

The saints' houses have surrendered, so we saints and disciples naturally have to follow us.

Everyone thinks so, it's a fig leaf.

Therefore, as long as Zhu Youxiao enthroned the Kong family and asked the Kong family to support the reform of the academy, many problems could be solved.

Those students are worried about the academy not teaching the way of saints, so naturally there is no need to worry about it. The people from the Kong family have all come to the academy, so what else can the academy teach?

Zhu Youxiao looked at Xu Guangqi and said, "I hope these people will not let down their beloved minister's efforts."

The meaning of this is very obvious. I agree with this matter, but the reason for agreeing is to give you Xu Guangqi face.

As soon as these words came out, Han Yu on the side was a little jealous. His Majesty really favored this Lord Xu Guangqi and Xu.

"The cabinet will draw an order." Zhu Youxiao said: "Add to the contemporary head of the Kong family Nanzong was Yansheng Gong, and immediately went to Beijing to serve as the president of the Royal Academy and presided over the affairs of the academy reform."

"Yes, your Majesty."

After hearing this, Xu Guangqi was overjoyed.

This is a good thing for Xu Guangqi. With this recommendation, the Kong family must have been closer to him.

What's more, the Kong family has now presided over the reform of the academy and will have a lot of say in the Royal Academy in the future. Xu Guangqi and the Kong family were considered to have killed Han Du.

Sure enough, Han Yu's face on one side looked a little ugly.

However, at this time, Han Yu had no choice but to oppose this matter. If he opposed it, he would not be able to face the scholars in the world if it was spread.

"So, just do it like this." After Zhu Youxiao said this, he said: "Don't let Wei Zhongxian judge those scholars who are causing trouble, just deal with it directly."

"The crimes of opposing the reform of academies, gathering people to cause trouble, and beating officials of the court are very serious. Don't judge any other crimes, and directly deprive fame. Those who do not have fame and fortune are prohibited from participating in the imperial examinations and will not be allowed to become officials for the rest of their lives." Zhu Youxiao said in a deep voice.

As soon as these words came out, Han Yu and others were shocked.

This punishment can be said to be very heavy, which directly cut off the career of these people. They will never be able to participate in the imperial examinations in this life, let alone become an official. This will be a life-threatening person for scholars.

However, Han Yu and others could see that His Majesty was in a bad mood now. Because of the Kong family, His Majesty was forced to agree to the affairs.

Everyone knew that they could not care about other things anymore. The few people didn't say anything anymore and agreed to this matter directly.

"Okay, you guys go." Zhu Youxiao shook his head, stood up and walked backwards.

"I respectfully send you to Your Majesty." Han and the other two said hurriedly.

After Zhu Youxiao left, Han and the other two breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and walked out.

After walking a few steps, Han Du said: "It's still Mr. Xu that Mr. Xu has a solution. This time, the matter can be solved so well, thanks to Mr. Xu."

Xu Guangqi looked at Han Du and said with a smile: "Just do your best for the court."

After saying this, Xu Guangqi walked.

Looking at Xu Guangqi's back as he left, Han Du's expression became serious.

This time things are going to be troublesome.

So Han said, "Transfer the news and let everyone who should know it."

Huang Kezhang nodded and said, "Don't worry, you'll find out soon."

In fact, the news was indeed very fast.

After Han and the others returned to the cabinet, the news spread.

The court's way of depriving those scholars of fame and fortune made many people shudder and scared many people. They felt in their hearts that they were fortunately not going.

Of course, this is also mixed news.

His Majesty’s enthronement of the Kong family is good news for everyone. This matter can finally be over; the Kong family’s entry into the Royal Academy was even more desirable.

The person who is most happy to hear this news is naturally Choi Chengxiu.

For Cui Chengxiu, the reform of the Royal Academy was finally settled. The court's handling method also pointed out the direction for him. If anyone dared to cause trouble in the future, then everything would be handled according to this convention.

At the same time, the matter of Shoushan Academy was also solved. His Majesty had enthroned the Kong family, so Zhong Yuzheng naturally knew what to do.

Cui Chengxiu came to Shoushan Academy without any hesitation.

When Choi Chengxiu arrived at Shoushan Academy, the atmosphere here was indeed much more relaxed.

Wang Linsheng smiled and welcomed Cui Chengxiu in.

Cui Chengxiu already knew Wang Linsheng's identity. He asked: "Wang Linsheng, nothing happened here, right? You can tell me any news, and I will thank you again in the future."

After hearing this, Wang Linsheng smiled and said, "No. Everything goes well. Lord Cui will take care of you in the future. When the reform of the academy is completed, we will be students of the academy. I will study hard here and one day in the future. Lord Cui must remember me at that time."

Cui Chengxiu can make friends with people like Wang Linsheng, but she will never be attracted to her.

Cui Chengxiu was a person in the palace. He knew that Wang Linsheng was definitely not going to study any books for the purpose of studying in Shoushan Academy, but probably was a spy here.

This made Choi Chengxiu a little nervous. I wonder if there were any such people around him. Everything he did was probably under the control of the palace.

It seems that you should be more careful in the future, otherwise there will be no way to make up for any mistakes.

Choi Chengxiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, if there is really that day, I will definitely take good care of you."
