1208 Just want to be quiet
When Yan Shenggong heard this, he looked at Wang Chengen with a little lack of confidence, and seemed to want to say something, as if he wanted to argue again.
When Wang Chengen saw it, he immediately stood up. Although he was young, when he approached Yan Shenggong with a cold face, he was full of momentum, forcing Yan Shenggong to take several steps involuntarily.
"Everyone in the world is the king's land, and within the world, there are all the king's ministers." Wang Chengen shouted coldly, "Chongqing Mansion, how can Yansheng Gong be an exception? The Ming Dynasty is not bad at the Kong family, and now it should serve the country! This is not forcing you, but giving you the Kong family another chance! In three days, if you don't see Yansheng Gong set out to the capital in person, our family will definitely come to visit again! At that time, don't blame our family for being ruthless!"
After saying that, he did not look at Yan Shenggong again and walked out strode. His subordinates followed him around. In just a short while, Yan Shenggong was the only one left in the lobby.
After the people from the East Factory left for a while, Yan Shenggong's subordinates turned back to the lobby. When they saw Yan Shenggong standing there with a piece of paper holding a piece of paper, they were a little curious and asked.
"Yan Shenggong, don't know why the factory man came here in person?"
"No, it's the same thing as last time again?"
"Yan Shenggong, what is written on that paper?"
“…”
Yan Shenggong seemed very tired, waved his hand and said weakly: "Go out, let me go out and let me be quiet."
Seeing him like this, a few people immediately wanted to leave, but some seemed a little indignant and spoke again.
"Yan Shenggong, could it be that Dongchang is in a dilemma again?"
"If Yan Shenggong, if he doesn't announce it to the world, he will not believe it. The scholars in the world will not make decisions for us!"
“…”
When he heard this remark, Yan Shenggong suddenly became excited, came to his senses, and shouted sternly: "Go out, let me go out. I just want to be quiet? Is it OK?"
When he got angry, these officials had to go out regardless of whether they were voluntarily or not. Yan Shenggong didn't say anything else, he just wanted to be quiet. What else could you do?
After all these people went out, Yan Shenggong collapsed on the chair and looked at the paper in his hand. He knew very well that once he went to the capital in person and reported to the court according to the contents of the paper, it was likely that it would be implemented. In this way, half of the foundation on which the Confucius Mansion relied for thousands of years would be dug out. There may be uncertainty as to whether the Confucius Mansion can continue to maintain its glory and wealth in the future!
However, if you do as stated on this piece of paper, the title of Yan Shenggong will definitely change hands. Not to mention enjoying wealth and honor, even if you are staring at the Dongchang, you will not have a good life in the future!
On one hand, there is the foundation of our ancestors and the personal wealth and glory of our people, which makes Yan Sheng Gong particularly embarrassed!
The officials outside waited for a long time, but before they could see Yan Shenggong come out, they all knew that Yan Shenggong must have encountered something very difficult, so they wanted to stay alone for so long!
Finally, at dusk, Yan Shenggong walked out of the lobby by himself, seemed very tired, and ordered his officials: "Be prepared, I will come to Beijing to meet the saint tomorrow!"
Since he made a decision, he did not dare to let the factory wait too much, so he decided to leave for the capital tomorrow.
Not long after, in an inconspicuous mansion, a soldier quickly stepped in and reported to Wang Chengen, who was sitting there drinking tea leisurely: "Main, Lord Yan Sheng has announced that he will come to Beijing tomorrow to meet the saint!"
When Wang Chengen heard this, he had just picked up the teacup and stopped slightly, and then sneered: "He knows the current affairs!"
After saying that, he drank it all, put the teacup back on the table, sat upright, and immediately ordered: "If you spread this news, at least all the scholars along the way knew that Yan Shenggong was going to come to Beijing to meet the Saint!"
After his subordinates took the order and left, Wang Chengen stopped drinking tea and sat on a chair and closed his eyes to rest. In fact, he entered the chat group and went to report the situation to Emperor Chongzhen.
Don't look confident in front of him, but still young. After reporting to Emperor Chongzhen, he reminded him with a little concern: "Your Majesty, what if he is scheming at that time?"
When Emperor Chongzhen saw this, he didn't care. He just sneered and replied: "It's okay, it's okay that everyone thinks it's normal for him to oppose science and technology. I don't need any one to oppose him. But if he put it according to my instructions, it would be shocked to the world!"
"Your Majesty is wise, I understand!" Wang Chengen felt relieved when he heard this. He was afraid that this Yan Shenggong suddenly changed his mind at the last moment. This situation made him unable to defend himself, but in fact he could not. Therefore, he was worried that if the emperor blamed him, he would suffer a loss.
However, now the emperor has answered that even if the Yan Shenggong finally changed his mind, he would not be blamed. In this way, he would naturally feel relieved.
Wang Chengen didn't know that Emperor Chongzhen had another reason not to say. The Kong family was used to enjoying happiness on weekdays, so he felt that he would never have such a good life like this in the future. No one could accept such changes in life. If the Kong family could have the backbone of this, they would not have enjoyed thousands of years of wealth.
In other words, although the Kong family is longer than any dynasty, it is also the wealth that can only be obtained by the emperor's power! With the current prestige of Emperor Chongzhen, it does not take too much trouble to suppress the Kong family. Not to mention, the momentum of scientific and technological knowledge has reached a certain level, and it is not something that lets Yan Shenggong come out of thin air to speak out.
Therefore, under the instruction of Emperor Chongzhen and under the publicity of the factory guards, the fact that Yan Shenggong wanted to come to Beijing to meet the saint spread among scholars as quickly as possible.
"Have you heard that Yan Sheng came to the capital justly, there should be a copy of the report!"
"This must be for the sake of evil sayings, right? Yan Shenggong has come out. Let's see how the court will give an explanation!"
"I heard that the people who promised the reunion society to support them and submit this memorial. Unexpectedly, the reunion society has stopped, but the reunion society has not stopped!"
"Can Fushe not stop the battle? Zhang Pu, the leader of Fushe, was exiled, and Hou Fangyu, one of the four princes, was suspended at home. Fang Yizhi has now turned to learn scientific and technological knowledge. Who cares about this academic dispute?"
“…”
In addition to the voices of these people, there are also some people who remember the rumors from the New Year.
"It's not that Yan Shenggong also agrees that scientific and technological knowledge is knowledge that benefits the country and the people. Why are you going to Beijing to meet the saint in a blink of an eye? This...what is this going to Beijing?"
"Clear the rumors? Yes, it must be so. The way of Confucius and Mencius is the orthodox tradition of the Ming Dynasty! How could Yan Shenggong give up this righteousness!"
"Yes, the past was definitely a rumor. Now that Yan Shenggong knows this, he must be angry and asked for an explanation!"
“…”
A considerable number of scholars think so. Among them, there are many scholars, especially those who are older, who are mostly scholars and are excited. In the towns that Yan Shenggong passed along the way, they shouted to go to Beijing with Yan Shenggong to ask for an explanation.
These scholars have given half of their lives to the Four Books and Five Classics. They have already felt a little overwhelmed as they see scientific and technological knowledge becoming more and more popular. When they hear that the content of the imperial examination may have to be changed, they are completely panicked. Now that Yan Shenggong has come out to preside over justice, these people naturally jump out to support them.
Moreover, the Ming Dynasty solved the border troubles in the north. Since last year, the court issued a simplified army of local garrisons to suppress bandit training, and the whole world has become much peaceful. In addition, the living standards in the past two years have improved a lot without realizing them. After talking, many old scholars really had to follow the carriage of Yan Shenggong and come to Beijing at their own expense.
As a result, the incident of Yan Shenggong coming to Beijing to meet the saint spread more widely and became the biggest topic after the beginning of the eighth year of Chongzhen. It even overshadowed various news from various vassal states.
But one day, what is strange is that Yan Shenggong rushed to the road sooner or later, and kept hiding in the car or in the post station, and did not show up normally.
Some people would wonder about this situation, but more people understood it. Yan Shenggong just went to Beijing to ask for an explanation, not a rebellion. When he came out to meet everyone, he was excited. If something happened, it probably wouldn't be what Yan Shenggong was willing to see.
Just like that, Yan Shenggong's car drove from Shandong to the capital. Behind it, there were more and more sour scholars. When they arrived in Shuntian Prefecture, the better inns in almost every place would be full. This made the inn shopkeepers and owners along the way look forward to it. Before the people arrived, the prices rose first. Waiting for a group of fat sheep to arrive, they made a lot of money. So some sour scholars seemed to be about to arrive in the capital, but found that the money was not enough, so it was a bit tragic.
Of course, these are all subtitles, and not many people will pay attention to these people who are not rich enough.
No matter how long he walked, he finally arrived in the capital on this day.
The model and spiritual pillar of scholars all over the world arrived in the capital. When Emperor Chongzhen heard the news, he specially sent Sun Yuanhua, the Minister of Rites, to welcome him. In addition to the official court, there were also scholars in the capital or who had arrived in the capital in advance, and they rushed to the city gate to welcome him. And those scholars who supported scientific and technological knowledge, including those craftsmen, also rushed over to watch the fun.
For a moment, outside the capital city gate, there were crowds of people. The restaurants near the city gate were even more crowded. Of course, at this moment, the topics of restaurants and diners here were all the same as Yan Shenggong's entry into Beijing.
At this moment, Emperor Chongzhen did not give up on the excitement. He left the palace in a secluded manner and became an audience in the restaurant.
Now he is quite low-key. But there is no way to do this. He has made him show off his face in front of the people of the capital more often. Moreover, he has done too much to leave the palace in a condom. A few times before, he was recognized by the people when he walked on the street. For a moment, the street was full of kneeling, which made him unable to do anything, so he had to go back to the palace.
For this reason, Emperor Chongzhen once privately said harsh words: "Wait for me to return to move the capital and change it to a new capital!"
As for whether this is a joke, even the eunuchs and factory guards who heard this intimately could not guess.
Now this time, Emperor Chongzhen stayed in this restaurant with a low profile. He didn't know that he thought the emperor liked to join in the fun. But if he really thought this way, he would be wronged. If it were possible, he would rather play hide-and-hide with his beloved concubines in the Imperial Garden than join in the fun. The reason for coming out was nothing. The achievement value of buying out and taking photos was not enough. With such a large number of people, he would have to come out to harvest a wave of achievements to avoid losing!
Just as Emperor Chongzhen was sitting in a restaurant, he heard the system keeps reminding him to obtain achievement values. He chose this location well, near the middle position to welcome the Yansheng Gong crowd.
Emperor Chongzhen calculated in advance that when he was harvesting achievements at the schoolyard, the range was quite large. Now the place where he sat is located, it is actually as large as the schoolyard.
Now, the two gangs who support Confucianism and science gather together, and they will inevitably quarrel. They will talk about science being created by the emperor, and the achievements of those who support science are constantly contributed.
When the harvesting achievement was worth "Ding Ding Dangdang", Yan Shenggong also arrived. The waiting Minister of Rites Sun Yuanhua immediately stepped forward to greet him. It was not until this time that everyone saw Yan Shenggong appear.
However, Yan Shenggong looked a little haggard, while Sun Yuanhua looked full of energy, with a sharp contrast. Suddenly, someone reminded him and suddenly spread to the crowd: Yan Shenggong represents Confucianism, while Sun Yuanhua is a middle-aged figure in science. What is the mystery behind the meeting between the two?
No matter what others think, in short, as the Minister of Rites, Sun Yuanhua still welcomed Yan Shenggong according to the etiquette system, and there was no sarcastic plot such as sarcastic confrontation, and there was no bloody plot such as sarcastic confrontation, and inside and outside.
Of course, there are still similar rumors, but most of them were made up by those who were watching. Under their suspicion, whether it was Yan Shenggong or the Minister of Rites, there were many secrets in their polite tone or eyes. Many people even went back and said that the dispute between Confucianism and Taoism and science had already begun under the city gate.
One thing is actually true. If the soldiers from the Five City Military and Ma Si were not in charge of order, the two big figures might not fight, and those onlookers would fight first.
Emperor Chongzhen’s harvest was worth it and he returned to the palace with a little distress. The achievement was much less worth! It seems that it will be better to leave the capital in a few days!
Thinking of this, he issued an order and summoned Yan Shenggong the morning court the next day without delaying it to show respect.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes were focused on tomorrow's morning court. Many scholars didn't even plan to go to Fengtianmen Square early in the morning to wait for news.
They were all very concerned about it. How would the emperor respond to the court?
