If the southwestern provinces add a small list, there will be some debate.

After all, in this case, some people benefit, some people lose, and those who lose the benefits must be scolded. If they get benefits, they must be scolded. Anyway, the will comes out and it is difficult to stop. If you make a fortune, things will be over.

But the problem is that this matter is too big now.

Chen Xue, everyone is calling for Chen Xue. If the imperial court used Chen Xue's classics as the test questions in the southwest, when the exam was conducted, it would not only quote the classics, but also quote Chen Xue's annotations of Confucius and Mencius. In this way, wouldn't all scholars who want to take the exam have to read Chen Xue's classics like Cheng and Zhu before? Now Chen Xue has been promoted in a different way. If so, it would be even more unreasonable.

Yang Shiqi immediately understood that he might be finished.

Now Your Majesty asks you for your own words. It is obvious that Zhizhu is in control. He has decided to force this matter. With Your Majesty's arbitrary nature, once you make up your mind, even the nine-headed cows cannot be pulled back. If you go against Your Majesty's will and advise Your Majesty to not do this, then Your Majesty's trust in him will be gone in an instant.

Yang Shiqi was very clear about the current situation. This time, His Majesty recommended Chen Xue to be disappointed with the civil and military in the court, and he also felt disgusted with those scholars. But these people were surrounded by the prince, and they were willing to drive the front of the prince. Based on the news that Zhao Zhong was beaten to death, His Majesty was planning to dig out the foundation of His Majesty's Highness, and at the same time, he gave the civil servant group a heavy blow.

This is very consistent with Zhu Di's character. When you meet strong people, you will be strong. If you are strong, you will use tricks. If you play conspiracy, he will cut off the firewood from the bottom of the pot and kill him with one blow. It will teach you that you will have trouble saying that when you killed Fang Xiaoru, everyone in the world said that he should not be killed, but he will kill him. Now, the same is true.

All of this was prepared by His Majesty.

Rather than using Chen Xue to check and balance Neo-Confucianism, it is better to use this group of scholars led by Master Chen to attack all officials in the court, including many students and scholars.

Once this happens, a large number of Chen Xue officials will inevitably pass the exam and become officials of the court. After entering the court class, these people will soon be able to compete with the conservative officials. However, these Chen Xue officials will definitely not have a solid foundation in the future. They are unstable and have weak power. They must seek help from the support of the palace, and must follow the emperor's leader. They must rely on the palace's breath.

Chen Xue is a means, and small lists are also means. Everything is a means, and everything is a chess, which is the truth. Naturally, it is a blessing to be qualified to be a chess piece in the hands of the emperor.

But what about yourself...

No matter what kind of science or Chen Xue, Yang Shiqi, in his opinion, these things are just appearances. What sages are actually covers, tools, and objects. Naturally, these things can also be turned into sharp swords and become powerful tools for killing people.

If you don’t nod, Your Majesty will definitely be alienated. Xie Jinren and others are eyeing him. Once you are squeezed out of the core circle, you will definitely be retaliated. What should you do at that time?

Yang Shiqi felt that His Majesty had probably seen this point clearly, so he made such a proposal. His Majesty's meaning was very clear. Following his words, he had meat to eat and disobey, so he would teach himself to live and die. He was not Xie Jin, but Xie Jin was famous all over the world, and had the blatant support of the prince, and he was supported by all officials. Some of him were just a favor and a smart spirit. If both were missing, it was difficult to gain a foothold.

But if... if you follow Your Majesty's words and discuss the specific constitution with Your Majesty, there is no airtight wall in this world. Once this matter is spread, it will definitely shock the world. Then countless people criticize you. Those angry scholars are afraid that they will eat their own flesh and sleep with their own skin.

This... is a difficult choice. No matter which one you choose, it will be harmful without any benefit.

Yang Shiqi's face was gloomy and calm. He looked at Zhu Di, and Zhu Di also looked at him with a smile. It seemed that Zhu Di understood his situation very well and was also patiently waiting for his choice.

You can't get along with each other anymore. In other words, in the past, Yang Shiqi might be able to get along with others and be as kind as possible. Even Xie Jin would never turn against him easily as long as both sides did not have the chance to kill with one blow. But now, obviously, for Your Majesty, what Your Majesty wants is Yang Shiqi to make choices. Either hang out with the officials and corrupt scholars of the outside dynasty, or become a loyal minister and plan for the Tian family.

Yang Shiqi felt a little sad. He never expected that when the two undercurrents in the court completely turned against each other, he would be pushed to the forefront and become the target of public criticism.

In an instant, Yang Shiqi was a little discouraged and even had the idea of ​​resigning and returning home. He knew in his heart that perhaps he would be the best choice for him to retreat now.

But this thought came out, and suddenly a voice told him: "You have been studying hard for decades and countless people are eagerly looking forward to it. Is it just that you want to retreat bravely and leave, just want to be a rich man? What about your ambition when you were young? Didn't you secretly vow to become famous all over the world and forever, and be a person like Zhou Gong..."

Yang Shiqi closed his eyes and took a breath in pain...

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Your Majesty, what I said about this matter is not to leave the problem for the future, but to handle this matter. There are three crux of the problem. If you cannot clarify the clues, I am only afraid..."

Yang Shiqi finally cheered up and began to talk freely. He is a very smart person and has a long experience in governance. Once he starts to make suggestions, his whole body will be shining. He begins to talk about the pros and cons of the small list and some obstacles to implementation. Once he has a way of thinking, he will be lingering.

When Zhu Di heard this, he nodded repeatedly, and a hint of praise flashed through his eyes. It was obvious that this was a "test" for Zhu Di. Yang Shiqi passed the test. Zhu Di not only wanted to promote Chen Xue, but also needed to distinguish between the enemy and us, who was his own person and who was not his own person. As an emperor who once stood out, he often chose such a simple and crude method.

Either be my friend, or... it is my enemy. If you want to be my friend, you must separate all relationships, be clear in your path, and you want to take shortcuts or get along with each other, that's not to think about it!

Yang Shiqi said three points in a row. Once he made up his mind, he felt relaxed and said his thoughts wholeheartedly. Finally, he concluded: "The primary issue is to first include Chen Xue classics in the Hanlin Museum of Literature and History, and at the same time, he appointed several famous Chen Xue scholars as editors and ordered them..."

Zhu Di couldn't help but sigh: "Shiqi is right, this is the frank statement of the country."

After Zhu Di said that, he looked at Yang Rong: "What do you think Yang Aiqing?"

Yang Rong's heart was already in chaos. When he saw Yang Shiqi surrender, he was a pity for him and was a little reluctant. However, when he thought that he should express his opinion, and when he thought about his situation, he might not be much better than Yang Shiqi, so he was extremely anxious. However, Yang Shiqi's choice made him feel a little moved, and said in a strange way: "What Shiqi said is very."

When he said this, Yang Rong felt a little regretful, because this sentence was obviously a statement.

Zhu Di smiled: "I know that you are loyal ministers, and many of your ideas coincide with me. Since this matter is to be done closely, the two beloved ministers will express their suggestions and submit them to my desk at that time. What about?"

Suggestions...

The two of them smiled bitterly, but they both said, "There is my husband who obeys the order."

"Then... I'm tired, so I'll talk about this today. You guys can step down."

Zhu Di seemed very happy. With a wave of his hand, the two of them naturally retreated obediently.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

After coming out of the warm pavilion, Yang Shiqi was full of thoughts. He actually forgot Yang Rong beside him. He lowered his head and walked forward quickly.

Yang Rong stepped up his steps and called him behind him: "Shiqi, Shiqi..."

Yang Shiqi suddenly came to his senses, turned around, and quickly bowed and apologized: "Brother Mian Ren, I am really..."

Yang Rong smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "Don't say this, I'll just ask you why you did this just now? Do you know that once... it will be damned."

Yang Shiqi looked at Yang Rong with a serious face and said, "Look, do I have any choice? You and I are both on the same boat. On this boat, you can only go down the water and sail against the current, and you will only be crushed to pieces. Mianren, we have no choice. We all have great ambitions and are unwilling to get off the boat, so that's all."

Yang Rong sighed heavily, couldn't help but feel a little regretful, and couldn't help but say, "It's just that you and me are afraid they will inevitably become Qianqiu's sinners."

Yang Shiqi shook his head: "I know that I am guilty of me, only in spring and autumn, defeat is sin, and success can be a saint. The good or bad in this world does not care about what you have done, but whether you can accomplish it. Therefore, Brother Mian Ren, you and I are not the time to lament now, so we should walk hand in hand and think hard about how to do this."
