Chapter 1469: You may not believe it when you say it(1/2)
After hearing this, Chen Jingye sighed: "I am just a turbulent man. What is the matter of the temple? Now that you are asking for advice, I am in a dilemma, it is difficult, and it is difficult..."
After he sighed a few times, he said to a group of disciples with a serious expression on his face.
"But today, morality is declining, people's hearts are not as good as ever, and extravagance is everywhere. The so-called country is about to perish, there must be monsters. If I cannot use this to advise Your Majesty at this time, how can I be worthy of the teachings of the saint? I will prepare a carriage and horse tomorrow, and I will go with you."
The disciples were overjoyed. When their mentors came forward, they would have a high opinion of the time. When they were in front of the imperial court, they would never become famous in one fell swoop, and even their value could increase accordingly.
So, the disciples kowtowed one after another: "Sir, I think of the people as my thoughts, and the disciples are amazed."
The next day, countless Confucian scholars began to arrive at the Hanlin Academy.
The Hanlin Academy has become much colder in the past two years, but today it is particularly lively.
All scholars with fame and honor have been booked. In order to identify their identities and check whether they have powerful tools, it has been delayed a lot of time.
In this way, there were as many as 2,000 Confucian scholars here, and many scholars from the capital came.
They bowed and greeted each other, and most of them heard each other's name for a long time.
Of course, there were also meeting each other, with nostrils facing the sky and a cold snorted.
It is probably because someone wrote a poem and was despised by someone. When this is heard by someone, it becomes an irreconcilable hatred.
It took a full morning to study, and these scholars were hungry and hungry, and just now they had the opportunity to enter the Hanlin Academy.
At this time, they felt that they were about to lose their lives. After all, there were too many people and the time spent was too long.
Immediately afterwards, he was taken to Minglun Hall.
This Minglun Hall is a place for teaching and learning. It is the largest building in the Hanlin Academy and can accommodate many people.
But even so, so many scholars still have nowhere to put their feet here.
People flocked to the Minglun Hall, and those who wanted to enter the Minglun Hall could only be outside the Minglun Hall.
Just as everyone was hungry and put on their backs, an eunuch said, "Your Majesty is here."
However, Emperor Hongzhi led Zhu Houzhao, Fang Jifan and others to come out of his ear room. Clustered by everyone, Emperor Hongzhi, who was wearing only a Confucian shirt, sat on his head.
Emperor Hongzhi was promoted to the throne, and for a moment, Confucian scholars bowed down: "Long live my emperor."
Learning civil and military skills well and selling with the imperial family is almost the highest ideal for all scholars.
At this time, when I saw Your Majesty, many people had been thinking about how they could stand out among the crowd for a night. How could the emperor look at him with admiration and use him?
Even Chen Jingye, who claimed to be aloof, has not slept all night.
Emperor Hongzhi fell behind, glanced at everyone with his eyes, and said with a smile.
"Please be calm."
He paused: "I haven't listened to the scriptures for a long time. I originally wanted the Hanlins to enter the Chongwen Hall to speak, but I thought that after the Hanlins said, I have heard too much, so I just opened up the channels of speech and listen to the thoughts of the people."
As he said that, Emperor Hongzhi looked at Xiao Jing, Xiao Jing nodded and coughed: "Speak."
Let’s start with this, where can I start?
Suddenly, the scholars became excited.
Everyone wants to talk about it.
What to say, there are no restrictions.
Therefore, some people said: "Your Majesty, why not talk about benevolent politics today..."
There are also all kinds of noisy words: "Your Majesty, I read the Zhou Li, and I occasionally feel that I don't know whether to speak or not."
These people talked all over the place, and there was no order left.
There was chaos in Minglun Hall.
Who doesn't want to take this opportunity to show off?
Fang Jifan stood beside Emperor Hongzhi and smiled.
Based on his years of experience.
When encountering this situation, you are often the most radical person to stand out.
Sure enough...at this moment, someone beat his chest and fell down, and cried loudly.
All of a sudden... it lowered everyone's volume.
So the scholars had to stop and look at the crying person.
This person is Chen Jingye.
But when Chen Jingye cried so hard that he was so sad that he burst into tears, he burst into tears, and fell to the ground: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... Since the Five Emperors surrender, has Your Majesty ever heard that if the country is not renovated in virtue and politics, will the country be destined to last?"
This first sentence is shocking.
The other scholars were immediately overshadowed.
Chen Jingye's disciples were all dancing.
Today is the time for my mentor to show his character.
Thinking about what my teacher said today, he received a lot of applause from Shilin. As his disciple, he went out and reported his teacher's name, which immediately made people respect him, and they were so excited that they couldn't control themselves.
Seeing that the opportunity was here, Chen Jingye would naturally not miss it, so he spoke with a righteous look on his face.
"I heard that the Ottoman was a barbarian, and he was a nomadic person. After that, he fought east and west, and had a land of thousands of miles. This country was barren. However, for more than ten generations, the kings of the country have been practicing virtue and politics, prohibiting extravagance and valued wise men. Therefore, the world is determined. The princes of this country came to the palace to see him. When they heard about the affairs of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors of the Ming Dynasty, they yearned for it. They had a great attitude of hearing about the Tao in the morning and dying in the evening. He visited all the scholars and regarded the learning of saints as the standard. Everyone in the scholars were surprised and sighed. Why? Even the barbarians were like this, why did my Ming Dynasty rebellion against the learning of saints and abandon them like a waste of money. I looked at the world. The princes and princes were extravagant and the people lost their integrity and shame for small profits. No one talked about benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and virtue, and even scholars put their minds on the strange skills and tricks. In the long run, where will the world be?"
As he said that, tears rolled down his eyes, looking desperate, and looked extremely disappointed with the current situation of the Ming Dynasty.
"Your Majesty." He shouted excitedly, "The Ottoman Prince, once visited me, held the rituals of disciples, talked at night, and talked with the place of prosperity, and was so excited that he could not control himself. He once said that the Ming Dynasty was a country of etiquette and ruled the world with virtue and filial piety. Why did it be so devastated now? Although the Ottoman Kingdom was a place of four battles, he also knew how to cultivate virtue and rituals. Your Majesty... If this continues, my Ming Dynasty will be full of luck. I look at all, and I will cry and say bloody words today. It is a crime of death, and death..."
His words.
In fact, it was long as Emperor Hongzhi and Fang Jifan expected.
In order to criticize the current situation, especially Xishan Academy, and to regain the dominance of Shilin, it is natural that it is necessary to find an analogy.
Recently, the Ottoman prince Suleiman is in the limelight, and it is reasonable to compare the Ottoman as a comparison. Using the Ottoman country to ridicule the Ming Dynasty and using Suleiman to implicate the prince, it doesn’t matter what kind of person Suleiman is, and it doesn’t matter whether the Ottoman country is a country of etiquette. What’s important is that this can be used as an argument.
It can be used for comparison.
For example... what other people's children are like, but what is important is that their children have to become the person they want to shape according to their own wishes. As for whether it is true or not, it doesn't matter, what is important is the effect.
Emperor Hongzhi smiled, but his heart sank.
He wanted to say, I heard that Ottoman had killed each other not long ago, and his father killed his son.
Of course, Emperor Hongzhi held back and did not refute Chen Jingye, but looked at him quietly.
But in just a moment, Emperor Hongzhi stopped looking at him, but looked around and asked, "Where are you?"
After hearing this, all the scholars regretted that they were stolen by Chen Jingye, and they also felt that what Chen Jingye said was really relieved. They really expressed their heartfelt words.
People looked at Chen Jingye with a jealous ear and thought even more, they were afraid that this Chen Gong would be famous all over the country tomorrow, and even if it was written by Qianqiu Shishi, this generous speech would have to be added.
Chen Jingye immediately said, "What I said may be absurd. If this is my simple opinion, if it angers the saint's face, I ask Your Majesty to deal with it."
He was ready for the court.
If the emperor was angrily arrested and beaten, it would be even more significant.
His disciples said one after another: "Mr. Chen is the words of a certain country..."
The other scholars also said, "Yes, Your Majesty... The way to govern the country is to cultivate virtue. If you do not cultivate virtue and politics, then your integrity and shame will be gone..."
Countless scholars bowed down, and some people were filled with tears of excitement, fearing that their voices would not be loud enough.
Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "Is there no other family of Qing, and there are other suggestions?"
"Mr. Chen has already expressed all the heartfelt words of his ministers and others."
Emperor Hongzhi sighed and looked at them sympathetically: "Ottoman country, is this really the case?"
"More than that, his prince respects the virtuous and the nobles, and teaches people to admire him."
Emperor Hongzhi was silent for a moment when he strove the case, then looked at them deeply: "Does no one have any objections?"
“…”
No one answered.
Emperor Hongzhi stood up and nodded to Chen Jingye and others with a look of praise.
"I am quite moved when I hear your advice. Maybe... you are right..."
Chen Jingye and others suddenly felt happy after hearing this.
Could it be... Your Majesty is finally about to repent?
The next step is to kill Fang Jifan's dog thing.
But he heard Emperor Hongzhi say lightly: "If this Ottoman country is really a country of etiquette, then it should not be taken lightly. I should send an envoy to the Ottoman to seek the study of benevolence and righteousness."
“…”
Chen Jingye couldn't help but be flirting with joy.
"You are worried about the country. If you only appoint one or two people, it will be difficult to show the effect. You may as well go all the time. You are my Xuanzang, who will return to the west with the Ottoman prince and seek the true scriptures."
