Lun Wenxu died early, which undoubtedly meant that for the conservatives, it was equivalent to losing a general.

For a time, the movement to promote vernacular Chinese gradually became mainstream.

But this does not mean that after the Lunwens, the conservative thought of advocating retro and respecting ancient times will be eliminated.

Yan Hong still adheres to the banner of Neo-Confucianism and tries to encourage more scholars and officials to participate in activities to maintain the orthodox status of Confucian Neo-Confucianism.

But Tang Bohu and others also followed Zhu Houzhao's will and tried their best to prevent these literati from maintaining the orthodox status of Neo-Confucianism.

Yan Hong found Huang Fang, the former editor of the Hanlin Academy who was demoted to a commoner, and advised him to continue to maintain the operation of "The Righteousness of the Confucianism" with him. However, Huang Fang refused Yan Hong's proposal because Wen Zhengming gave him a high salary of 100 taels of monthly silver and asked him to participate in the lectures he presided over by the hundreds of schools of thought, because Yan Hong could only persuade Huang Fang with great righteousness, but could not give him a generous salary.

Yan Hong had to manage "The Confucian Taoism" himself, but because the Confucian Taoism was unable to make a profit, in order to maintain the operation, he had no choice but to take over the private work of Chunlou Dream Club.

Finally, Yan Hong also opened the monthly magazine "Yulou Xiangmeng" of the same nature as "Chunlou Dream Club". While using the "Yulou Xiangmeng" magazine to spread bad content to make profits, he also used these profits to maintain the operation of "Sulin Zhengdao".

"Your Majesty, since the tenth year of Zhengde, there have been more and more newspapers and magazines on the market that write about incest in the house. Do you think you need to take care of it?"

Ma Yongcheng of the East Factory couldn't help but report the matter to Zhu Houzhao. After all, the East Factory also has the power to monitor the development of various industries in the Ming Dynasty, which is equivalent to Zhu Houzhao's eyes in the eyes of the people.

Zhu Houzhao first nodded, and the food and sex nature were also food and sex. Vulgar content was loved and accepted by the public in any era, and there were naturally harms. However, Zhu Houzhao also knew that it was difficult to ban such things, and it could not be done even in later generations, let alone the current Ming Dynasty.

But Zhu Houzhao was not sure of not caring about it. He had to think about which is the meaning of care or care.

What Zhu Houzhao is most concerned about is whether the civil servants who resigned from office have posed a threat to their ideals of reforming the Ming Dynasty in public opinion.

then.

Zhu Houzhao continued to ask: "How many people still slander the court, saying that they should not compete with the people for profit, and demand that Confucianism, Taoism and Neo-Confucianism and follow the ancestral system appear, are there more or less?"

"There are more! There have been several more companies in the capital recently. Even Gu Lin, the Minister of Justice who had just resigned, was told to come out of the mountain by Yan Hong and others. He also said that he would establish a Confucian literary society and proposed that respect Confucianism and advocate reason as the concept of governing the country."

When Ma Yongcheng said this, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but look tight, thinking that this was the possibility of establishing a political party. This was no longer as simple as a simple academic group, and asked again:

"Where did they get the funds? Could it be that these people, like Lun Wenxu, will they sell their property in order to run a "Su Lin Zhengdao"?"

"Not that, many of them write bad books behind their backs for profit. Their newspapers are not as good as the publications in the servant's room, nor are they funded by the funders like Your Majesty. They can only rely on these profits to maintain their newspapers. Although I am an official, I am very ashamed of their behavior. On the one hand, I say high-profilely that I want to correct the source, and on the other hand, I write about kicking a widow's door and stealing someone's wife."

Ma Yongcheng replied.

"I understand," Zhu Houzhao nodded and asked Ma Yongcheng to send Wang Hua, the chief assistant of the cabinet.

As soon as Wang Hua came, Zhu Houzhao asked Ma Yongcheng to tell the story of the rampant urban vulgar newspapers that the East Factory investigated, and said:

"Wang Qing, this is not a trivial matter. Although the people are free to speak, they cannot ignore it. If these vulgar contents are flooded and the children of the Ming Dynasty are seen by me, will it not harm the physical and mental health of my Ming Dynasty children! You, the chief minister of the cabinet, should be in charge!"

Wang Hua did not expect that Emperor Zhu Houzhao suddenly became concerned about the physical and mental health of children all over the world, but he had nothing to object. After all, as a decent literati, Wang Hua himself could not accept that there were too many vulgar newspapers and magazines in the market.

"I understand, please tell me!" Wang Hua replied.

"I will issue an order for the Hanlin Academy to compile the "Regulations on the Protection of Children in the Ming Dynasty"!

Children are the hope for the long-term stability of the country and the country in the Ming Dynasty, and are related to the future of the Ming Dynasty. However, I have heard that there are still high-ranking officials and nobles who raise children and take young girls. Now there are even publications that openly promote these! How can you ignore it?!

In addition, there are vulgar publications, and there will be more and more children who are literate in the Ming Dynasty. If the children of the Ming Dynasty see these vulgar content, wouldn’t it ruin the future trend of the Ming Dynasty? The king has no wise king, and the minister has no wise minister!

Therefore, I must enter into the law in this regard!

In addition, the Ministry of Rites should first issue a Jun Order to prohibit the spread of vulgar publications. Vulgar publications are prohibited from being distributed. In severe cases, the scholars who publish publications can be eliminated and fined huge sums of money! If the Ministry of Rites does not manage them well, I will let the Dongchang come!"

Zhu Houzhao said in a stern tone.

According to the constitutional outline established by Zhu Houzhao summoning his ministers, only His Majesty the Emperor had legislative power, but the Ming Dynasty did not have professional legislative bodies and even specialized legal talents. Therefore, Zhu Houzhao basically rarely implemented his own legislative power.

But now, in order to combat the gentry's publication of vulgar publications in the name of protecting children, Emperor Zhu Houzhao can only first compile the law on protecting children of the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Hua didn't expect His Majesty to be so angry, and it was about the rights and interests of young children. He didn't even expect His Majesty the Emperor would suddenly care about the physical and mental health of young children all over the world. He couldn't help but think, is it because His Majesty became a father and began to care more about this?

However, Wang Hua also knew that playing with young children and even taking this as a pleasure has been a romantic and elegant thing in the circle of scholars and officials since ancient times, and no one even regards this as a sin.

Therefore, if Emperor Zhu Houzhao hadn't mentioned it suddenly today, Wang Hua wouldn't have realized that he had to worry about it.

But no matter what, since the emperor issued an order, Wang Hua could not disobey it. And now the emperor has said that if the Ministry of Rites does not care, he would let the Dongchang manage it. In order not to let the Dongchang interfere in the court affairs, he hurriedly agreed: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will immediately let the Ministry of Rites make rules and take care of this vulgar publication in the world!"

"Well, go and do it, as soon as possible. I don't want more children in my Ming Dynasty to be poisoned by these vulgar content!"

Zhu Houzhao nodded.

then.

Wang Hua immediately passed on the message to Ouyang Dan, Minister of Rites, and conveyed the instructions of Emperor Zhu Houzhao to Ouyang Dan.

"Your Majesty is kind! This is the first time that the official has seen a law specifically for the rights and interests of common people and children. Although the laws of the Ming Dynasty also involve relevant regulations on the protection of young children, it is the first time in ancient times that it is the saint who has specially established a law that protects young children in the world. It is truly a blessing for all the people in the world in the dynasty!

Please rest assured, the senior officials will immediately ask the Ministry of Rites to issue a jun order prohibiting the issuance of vulgar publications, and let local governments crack down on these vulgar publications that are not conducive to the physical and mental health of the Ming Dynasty!”

Ouyang Dan, the Minister of Rites, lamented that Zhu Houzhao was kind and wise because it was normal for him to be kind and wise, because few kings would really care about the rights and interests of common people and young children.

"Your Majesty specially established a law to protect children in the world, but I am afraid that those who play with children in the literati will be punished! In this way, aren't the powerful and gentry in the world very dissatisfied? Moreover, once your Majesty's law is established, it will restrain himself," Wang Hua said with a smile.

"That's why you say that Your Majesty is kind. Now that our Ming Dynasty is prosperous and the people are safe, the signs of arrogance, extravagance and debauchery are becoming more and more serious. Your Majesty is also doing good governance in this way!"

Ouyang Dan asked Wang Hua as he said, "Dare you dare to ask the chief minister, is there any good thing here?"

"I don't have it, Wang Qiong has it. He just bought a thirteen-year-old girl into the house. He said that he was learning how to play in the Western Regions and how to perform circumcision," Wang Hua said.

...

As soon as Zhu Houzhao issued an order, the officials of the Hanlin Academy began to get busy. Kang Hai, the Minister of the School and the Chief of the Hanlin Academy, was the president. He was preparing to establish a law to protect young children of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Houzhao's special order must also add a law to prohibit foot binding of Ming women.

"Your Majesty, it is a folk custom for women to bind their feet. Now that the court clearly prohibits it, will it make the common people dissatisfied?"

Kang Hai had to ask.

"But at least, the court cannot support foot binding! It only makes the literati and officials have a foot binding problem that makes girls suffer from foot binding since childhood. You and I have mothers, sisters and other female relatives. How can they suffer such torture? So this law is established!"

Kang Hai could not refute Emperor Zhu Houzhao, and even felt that the emperor was kind and he hoped to eliminate this bad habit through the emperor's order.

Based on the Ming Dynasty's laws and other laws, the Hanlin Academy concluded the "Regulations on the Protection of Children in the Ming Dynasty" in accordance with the will of Emperor Zhu Hou in accordance with the will of the Ming Dynasty.

It is another pioneering move of the Zhengde Dynasty to liberate human rights after the constitutional outline stipulates that it prohibits slavery.

However, after all, the Ming Dynasty was still a society dominated by backward Confucianism. This law that protects the interests of the common people actually violated the interests of the powerful and noble gentry.

Although according to Confucianism, there are also remarks such as "respect for the elderly and the elderly, and the young and the young" of others, and although Zhu Yuanzhang also formulated relevant laws to protect the common people and children of the world when formulating the Ming Dynasty's laws, the literati and officials basically did not abide by it. It is a social consensus that the literati and officials cannot punish them, so no matter how they play, they will not be punished. Only when they are suspected of threatening the imperial power.

Now, Zhu Houzhao really wants to limit the freedom of enjoyment for the rights and interests of young children in the world, and prevent some of them from playing with young children, and even punishing them for this, or even promoting vulgar content. Naturally, he will be dissatisfied by the literati.

"When Qin was destroyed, it was actually tortured by burning documents. It was first deceptive and then benevolent and righteous, and tyranny was the beginning of the world. Now the court also governed the scholars and people in the world with severe punishments and harsh laws. This is actually a tyranny act!"
