After hearing Zhu Di's words, everyone naturally did not dare to say anything. Xie Jin even said: "It is normal for the people of the Wei people to share the worries of the king, so how dare you complain about the word "hard work". Besides..." Xie Jin seemed to be nagging today and continued: "Besides, there are so many things today, it is natural for the Wei people of the Wei people to work hard."

Zhu Di smiled and said, "Actually, it's nothing. I'm asking you to come here just to talk about this Zhou ritual."

Zhu Di deliberately fiddled with the books on the imperial desk, and everyone realized that this was a weekly ceremony. Many people were strange. The emperor was playing the Four Books and Five Classics now. However, there was no dew on their faces.

Instead, Xie Jin pretended to be surprised and said: "The Zhou Li is an imperially appointed classic meaning. From the nine states in the world, the astronomical calendar, the smallest as ditch roads, plants, insects and fish. The establishment of states, politics, law, culture and education, rituals, music, soldiers, taxes, taxes, diet, clothing, temples, chariots, horses, rural commerce, medical and divination, craftsmanship, all kinds of famous things, rules, and systems. I wonder which article Your Majesty is going to talk about today?"

Zhu Di said lightly: "Well, I have just dabbled in it, and many of them don't understand it. My dear, why not talk about it."

At this moment, Xie Jin was a little hesitant. The topic was too big and difficult to say. Besides, even if it was said, it was difficult for him to guess what the emperor wanted to hear.

Fortunately, Zhu Di seemed to see his difficulties, so he smiled and said, "I want to ask you, scholars are responsible for trouble, are there any records in the Zhou Li?"

Xie Jin shook his head quickly and said, "The Zhou rituals have not been involved in it. The rituals are examples. All the recorded ones are national rules, and I have never heard of them."

Zhu Di asked again: "Can there be evil people in the Zhou Li. Are there any evil people who are abusing power and bullying the superiors?"

When everyone heard this, they didn't dare to be careless. Everyone was thumping in their hearts, but Yang Shiqi was quite calm. As for Jin Youzi's face, his face changed slightly. He felt that His Majesty seemed to have some meaning, but he didn't know if the sword was pointing to him.

Xie Jin naturally did not dare to be careless about this issue. He pondered for a long time before saying, "There has never been any. The Zhou Gong's scriptures meant to distinguish between high and low. There is a difference between high and low... This... Those who abused power and deceived the superiors were no different from animals. There was never such a thing under the rule of Duke Zhou."

Zhu Di sighed, "Yes, no wonder nowadays, everyone says that people's hearts are declining, education is not clear, and the world is getting worse and worse. People's hearts are no longer old. It seems that I really need to read this Zhou Li carefully, Yang Shiqi..."

Yang Shiqi quickly stood up and said, "I am here."

Zhu Di said: "Tomorrow begins, every single day, every day, every day, come to this warm pavilion to accompany you, I want to listen to you teach this week's ritual."

Yang Shiqi hurriedly said, "I obey the order."

Many people thought about such treatment. Needless to say, although Yang Shiqi did not have the strength of the chief assistant this time, his strength was probably close to Xie Jin.

The reason is very simple. At this time, the cabinet was not as good as in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. Many things were decided entirely by the cabinet. What they had was not decision-making power, but advice power. Whoever was closer to the emperor would ask questions about government affairs at any time. This means that every word you said would become more and more important. As long as you are smart enough and convincing enough, the formulation of policies was basically in your hands.

Daily companion means going further away from the emperor and having more weight than other colleagues.

Xie Jin couldn't help but feel sour, but he knew in his heart that today is not the time to compete for favor. The most important thing is to cut off the hero and keep him alone. Any dispute at present will not benefit him.

It was already a little late, and the sunset came in from the paper window in the pavilion, sprinkling a piece of afterglow. The pavilion was a little dim, and a few eunuchs tiptoed in and lit palace lanterns. These people were like ghosts, without any trace, and left quietly.

The lights were rising and the cabinet was bright. Zhu Di's face was shining with a little more spirit. He couldn't help but sigh: "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh food. It's not easy. Governing a country means governing the people. Governing the people is governing the heart. People's hearts can be a pool of spring water or a flood. If they cannot be relaxed and relaxed properly, it will not be possible."

Zhu Di said this, glanced at everyone, and continued, "But this person's heart is really terrible. The common people's daily farming is not enough, and all the remaining money and grain are included in the treasury and supported by the court. Whenever the farming period is slack, they are entrusted by the government to repair and pave the way, and never have time to have free time. Even so, these people still have loyalty in their hearts, and they often feel grateful when they think of the court. However, some people are not like this. These people eat the rich and ointment of the people and receive my grace. I promised him high officials and generous salaries to make him one of the court. Is this kind of person... grateful?"

Zhu Di's tone suddenly became stern. There seemed to be a fire burning in his deep eyes. He knocked the imperial case hard and then said, "No! As a minister, he has no etiquette, he has every day intrigue and form cliques for personal gain. Can I tolerate such a person? Can I tolerate it? You usually say that gentlemen are in the court, and gentlemen are in the court. I used to think that they are full of gentlemen, but now they don't see it like this. According to me, there are gentlemen in this court, but there are villains. Have you forgotten who killed Jianwen? Do you think I will also imitate Jianwen, and all the treacherous ministers are in the king's favor?"

Zhu Di's voice became even colder, and he shouted: "If I do this, then in the future, I will burn me in the palace. And you are all Fang Xiaoru, Qi Tai, and Huang Zicheng. Are you afraid? You are not afraid, I am afraid, I think of treacherous ministers who abuse power, and when someone is not kind, I will not be willing to eat it. When you reach that fashion, you can be famous in history and be a model of loyal ministers, but I will become a foolish king, and be laughed and ridiculed by people from later generations and even later generations!"

Zhu Di's words had become murderous. He heard it as if he was on his back. Everyone had a cold war. At this time, he realized that the emperor was angry. Everyone dared not stand there. They all bowed to the ground and said, "I am waiting for death."

Zhu Di's eyes narrowed into a line, and then the line's eyes glanced at everyone lightly, and his stern face suddenly soothed. He smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to be afraid. Although I just said it was heartfelt, I had no intention of saying anything. Let's get up."

Everyone was relaxed on the surface, but they were really shocked. The emperor said that they should not be the king of the country that was destroyed. They also said that because there were treacherous slanders, they could end up like Jianwen. What does this mean? It means that some of them are going to be finished.

At least there will be one. Even if Zhu Di said it lightly, the last sentence was not intended to mean something, but just a momentary sigh, but this kind of sigh was enough to make everyone sweat.

No matter whether this person is himself or not, everyone feels relaxed. This sense of fear of being with the king and the tiger permeated everyone's body. Everyone barely stood up, but the back of their collars were soaked in cold sweat.

There were only two people, although they were a little breathless by the suppressed atmosphere, they were still calm.

One is Hao Fenglou and the other is Yang Shiqi. Hao Fenglou even had the time to secretly glance at Yang Shiqi. Seeing the shame and solemn expression on his face, he couldn't help but admire him. Such beautiful and wonderful acting skills are thanks to his ability to act so well.

Zhu Di's mood seemed to have improved a lot suddenly. He smiled and said, "Everyone must be exhausted after hearing my nagging like this. Since I am interested today, I must talk to you about this week's etiquette."

Zhu Di said this, paused, and then said, "Everyone has been standing for a long time and is exhausted, especially the oldest Huanghuai, how can he eat? Come on, give me a seat."

With the order, six or seven small inner officials came in outside with Jindun. They each placed Jindun at the feet of the ministers and then retreated.

Everyone hurriedly saluted and said, "Thank you for your grace." They all sat sideways.

But one person's face changed. Everyone had a brocade pier under his feet, but his feet were empty. When everyone sat down, he was the only one standing out.

Because he had no place to sit down, in this empty warm pavilion, there were only six Jinduns.

This person is very unfortunate, it is Jin Youzi.

Jin Youzi's cold sweat had already slid down his forehead to the tip of his nose, dripping down. Of course, he understood that those eunuchs would never make such a bad mistake. What about his seat?

No... means...

Jin Youzi couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the emperor's meaningful words.

He could only stand, and after everyone sat down, they were strange or looked at him meaningfully. Jin Youzi's face turned red. This was not a blush, but a manifestation of deep fear in his heart spreading his whole body. He found that his legs began to tremble, trembling more and more violently, so that his body was also a little shaking.

But the emperor did not seem to see another minister standing at this moment, and he did not even care about the fear that Jin Youzi showed, nor did he notice the sadness or indifference expressed by others. He smiled slightly and said slowly: "It is reported that among the interpretations of Zhou Li, the best book is Jia Gongyan's "Zhou Li Shu". Even Zhu Xi praised it endlessly. Xie Qing, don't you know if this is right?"
