Chapter 28: The Fighting of the King and the Minister (II)

Mao Wenlong, this is a headache!

Yang Jie muttered secretly, how should Mao Wenlong solve this problem?

Yang Jing asked: "Didn't you pay two million taels of silver to repay military pay last time? Why didn't you pay him?" Yang Jing was strange. Could it be that Mao Wenlong was not an official from the Ming Dynasty? He didn't have his share in the last time he paid? Otherwise, why did you come to ask for the money again? Only a few days have passed?

"Your Majesty, it was because Lord Mao who heard that the emperor had paid two million taels of silver for military pay, so he came to ask for the pay."

"Why? Didn't you count Mao Wenlong's army as my Ming Dynasty?" Yang Jing was a little angry. No matter what, Mao Wenlong is still an official of the Ming Dynasty. If you don't like him, there is no need to dig a hole for him and "frame" him like this.

"Your Majesty, it's not that I am not counting Master Mao in my Ming Dynasty. It's really Mr. Mao, and his military, horse, money and grain are not nullified. How can the Ministry of War and Ministry of Revenue allocate money and grain for him? If there is too much, the emperor's silver will be deficient. If there is less, Master Mao is not happy. It's really a embarrassing minister, so he has no money and grain for Master Mao." This official spoke very well. On one hand, he was afraid of the emperor and Mao Wenlong. This is a living "praise and killing" with hidden murderous intent. It seems that Mao Wenlong is already a thorn in the eyes of these ministers, and he is thorn in the flesh, and he will be killed anytime and anywhere.

"I remember that I seemed to have approved Mao Wenlong's number of soldiers before? How many are there?"

"Your Majesty has 28,000 people, but Lord Mao does not accept the court's review and supervision, so this time the salary was not paid to Lord Mao. Please tell me how to act."

This is a bad thing. The civil officials in the court wanted to supervise Mao Wenlong's money, grain and number of soldiers, which was also a normal requirement. Of course, there was an additional "drift". Mao Wenlong did not want to be supervised by the civil officials and did not want to be "drifted". The reason was far-fetched, but they both argued. The result was that Mao Wenlong gradually escaped from the control of the Ming Dynasty. The ministers in the court regarded Mao Wenlong as a wolf-like ambition and a rebellious existence. In the end, Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong. Only the wild boar skin laughed out loud. He was not afraid of opponents like gods, but feared teammates like pigs. This sentence was right.

Yang Jing had a headache. The core of such a basket of bad things was just two words: greed, Yang Jing did not have the intention to deal with this thing. After thinking about it, he said, "Since that's the case, let it go and not mention it, I am free to be responsible."

The emperor took over the matter of Mao Wenlong's request for money. The Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War will no longer care about this matter. This matter is obviously a matter of using money to settle it. The only thing the emperor had to do was to use the money from the treasury to subsidize Mao Wenlong. It probably has nothing to do with the court.

The second thing is just ordinary. The local area is suffering from disasters, so I request tax reduction and support. It’s easy to say, so I’ll give it money.

The third thing is here.

"I ask Your Majesty to come to the imperial court." An old minister came out and reported.

"The Seminar?" Yang Jie heard about this thing for the first time and thought to himself what this thing is!

"What is this a lecture?" Yang Jing carried forward the good tradition of not being ashamed to ask.

"Return to Your Majesty, this sutra is dedicated to preaching the sutras and discussions for Your Majesty."

"Is there anything special about this? Preaching the scriptures and treating history?" Yang Jingwei knew nothing about this. However, the spirit of conspiracy rolled in.

"I report to Your Majesty, the lectures on the scriptures are three times a month and once a day. This is a big lecture. Your Majesty and the ministers participate. The etiquette is regular, and there are also novels. The lectures are held the next day, so there are not many rules..."

"What is the content of it? History?" Yang Jingwei was very depressed. History still needs you to tell me that I graduated from nine years of compulsory education, and I have learned history from steel and steel. Even hundreds of years later. Do you still tell me about history?

"When you come back to your Majesty, the first is to 'taste study the scriptures,' to explore the subtle meanings in the scriptures; the first is to 'use the past to prove the present', that is, to learn from history, and to stop raising one', and to cultivate virtue."

"Is this... useful?" Yang Jing asked weakly, really weakly. Yang Jing had already recalled it. This was obviously the literati of the Ming Dynasty who wanted to "brainwash" himself for education! Let Yang Jing learn the "subtle words" of the saints every day, learn to "adjust the present with the past" and cultivate Yang Jing's "virtue".

Yang Jie shouted in his heart: The cake seller, the retribution has come. He dreamed of "brainwashing" these scholars and officials of the Ming Dynasty, but he didn't expect that the retribution would come soon. The scholars and officials of the Ming Dynasty were preparing to "anti-brainwashing" themselves.

"Can you not go?" Yang Kai looked bitter and didn't want to be "brainwashed".

"Your Majesty, this is a good example. The rules passed down by our ancestors have fixed rules. Is it a random idea that Feichen and others have come up with..."

The rules passed down by our ancestors? Could it be that these Confucian dynasties have to "brainwash" the emperor? Yang Jie suddenly felt very scary, afraid that he would go from a modern person to a pure "Ming Dynasty person". In that way, he would be "brain-death".

This is definitely a revenge. I had a dispute with the ministers the day before yesterday and wrote a "letter" to Wei Zhongxian in the evening. I let myself accept "brainwashing" in the morning. This is definitely what these ministers did on purpose. Yang Jing thought maliciously.

"Please go to the imperial imperial court." All the ministers on the ground knelt down on the ground, their voices loud and neatly. They all asked Yang Jing to take political classes.

Yang Jie wanted to have a headache, stomachache and other escape methods. When he saw the ministers in the ground kneeling down on the ground, he knew that they could not escape today. So he reluctantly said, "Then go to the 'priest party'."

"Your Majesty is wise." A kind of flattery shouted together by ministers was particularly loud, but unfortunately, Yang Jing was so angry that he was so angry that he was dying.

A group of ministers followed from afar and went to Wenhua Palace.

There are really many rules when it comes to this lecture. Some are responsible for flipping books, some are responsible for picking books, some are responsible for explaining, and some are reciting. The civil and military ministers stood on both sides as they went to court. Yang Jing realized that it seemed that it was not only the emperor who needed to receive political education, but also the important officials. Of course, the emperor was the protagonist, and others were more like monitoring the emperor for political classes.

The stand-up shift finally began.

A person who looked like a lecturer came out and reported: "Report to Your Majesty, is Your Majesty preaching or discussing history?"

The Four Books and Five Classics? History? Yang Jing felt that he didn’t need any of them. The Four Books and Five Classics all said that they were the stepping stone for the imperial examination. He was the emperor. Do you still have to take the top scorer in the exam? Do you still need to read the Four Books and Five Classics?

Taizu Zhu Baba said that without the Four Books and Five Classics, I could still be the emperor.

History? I am a person from the 21st century. Not only are I familiar with the history before the Ming Dynasty, but also with the history after the Ming Dynasty? Is it your turn to tell me about history?

Yang Jing was quite angry. Unfortunately, he couldn't speak. He couldn't raise his throat and shouted that I was from the 21st century. I knew the history of the Ming Dynasty after that. You don't need to teach me. In this way, there was another crazy emperor in the Ming Dynasty, which became a laughing stock for people.

"Why, I still have to teach the Four Books and Five Classics? I am the emperor. The Four Books and Five Classics are just stepping stones for the imperial examination. Can I still go to the top scorer after I have learned it well?" In fact, there are even more vicious words Yang Jing did not say. The imperial examination is just a cage for the emperor to win over the elites in the world. Didn't Li Shimin say: "All the heroes in the world are in my way?" So, the stepping stones for the emperor to learn the imperial examination were really stuck in the door. It was not the ministers' heads that were stuck in the door, but the ministers used the door panel to hold the emperor's heads.

"I am afraid..." The lecturer who asked Yang Jing whether to listen to the scriptures or discuss history was frightened. The other ministers did not say a word, as if they didn't see it.

Yang Jing was sulking and knew that if he didn't finish the scriptures today, he might not be able to get rid of them. Judging from the appearance of these ministers, he seemed to be fighting to the end.

"Let's talk about history." Yang Jing compromised.

"Which passage is your Majesty?" This lecturer was caught between the emperor and the ministers, and he was not pleased with both sides. He was afraid that the emperor would be unhappy and he would be in trouble.

"I have talked to my beloved ministers about Yue Pengju's deeds in the Southern Song Dynasty today, so let's talk about him." Yang Jing chose a piece of history "carelessly".

Yang Jing really wanted to scold people. He was the emperor and did not have to learn the "sage of saints" to get fame and fortune, but also learned a bird.

As for the reason for learning the principles of being a human being in the "sage of a saint" and improving moral cultivation, this is purely nonsense. Kong Lao Er is just one of the hundreds of schools of thought. When other people were in the spring and autumn, he was still "lobbying" everywhere to find a small official. Could it be that only he has "reason" and can improve moral cultivation?

Others are donkey dung eggs? There was no "reason" before Kong Lao Er? Kong Lao Er is a natural "reason"? Without Kong Lao Er, you cannot improve your moral character? If you really lose the butcher Zhang, you have to eat this hairy meat?

Yang Jing was extremely depressed and very upset. This was really a geese that had been pecked by geese today. He was devoted to "brainwashing" the Ming Dynasty's bureaucrats, trying to change the "brain structure" of the corrupt scholars. Unexpectedly, he gave himself this happen today.

When I was in the morning court, I thought they had conspiracies. Now it seems that there was conspiracy. In the eyes of the ministers, I was too "elegant" and needed to use the "sage of the saints" to gain more teachings.

Yang Jingwei was extremely depressed and didn't come up with any good idea. He didn't want to "fight" with these bureaucrats, but these bureaucrats always couldn't get along with him.
