Seeing this situation, Xu Guangqi was a little anxious. With the lead of Yan Shenggong and so many officials, this is a very rare thing. What if the emperor could not withstand the pressure? Is it possible that the scientific and technological knowledge that had just been promoted would be refrigerated again?

For Xu Guangqi, he was already old. At this time, his wish was to promote these scientific and technological knowledge and benefit the Ming Dynasty. In the past, in order to learn these scientific and technological knowledge, he even did not hesitate to change his beliefs to believe in the Western teachings. This shows that he attached importance to these scientific and technological knowledge. Therefore, he did not want to see that the promotion of scientific and technological knowledge could be reversed.

Thinking of this, he also wanted to come out to oppose it.

However, at this moment, Emperor Chongzhen frowned and slapped the armrest of the dragon chair and stood up, shouting loudly: "Enough!"

The emperor was angry and the court meeting suddenly became quiet. They could ignore the officials of the Jinyiwei Hall, but they could not ignore the emperor.

"You are waiting for you to jump out and interrupt Yan Shenggong's comments." Emperor Chongzhen glanced at the ministers who stood up and shouted angrily, "Do you respect Yan Shenggong? Do you respect the court ritual system? Do you have me in your eyes? They are bold and arrogant, because they think that you and others have a lot of power, so I can't cure you?"

There were at least 190 officials who had already stood up below, nearly 200. Standing in the middle of the queue, it was a huge crowd! To a certain extent, it was indeed a crowd.

In fact, this cannot be blamed on them, because most of the officials who stood up had lower positions, and from the fourth rank was the highest. No matter how high the officials were, those who resisted scientific and technological knowledge had actually been replaced by Emperor Chongzhen. However, there were too many low-ranking officials below, so he could not worry very carefully, so he could not replace people for this matter.

Originally, these low-level officials, so-called slight words, did not dare to resist, and could only watch the court promote scientific and technological knowledge step by step. However, now that Yan Shenggong is here, Yan Shenggong is in front of him. If they don’t take this opportunity to stand up, if Yan Shenggong is alone and says he doesn’t agree to the emperor, it will be basically difficult to suppress the promotion of scientific and technological knowledge in the future.

Therefore, under the leadership of Kong Debin and others, they all stood up with the idea of ​​not ruling the public. Even the officials of the Jinyiwei Hall and even the Censor who was responsible for the etiquette in front of the imperial court all shouted, which was useless.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was angry, and Yan Shenggong naturally shut up first. He stood there quietly, neither looking up at Emperor Chongzhen nor turning to look at the supporters behind him, but just lowered his head.

Emperor Chongzhen glanced at him, then continued to look at the large group of people, shouting angrily: "I think I treat you very well usually, and I am so rude in the court. I am rude to Lord Yan Sheng and rude to me. Haha, this time, I want you to remember the rules in the court! Is it good to give each person ten tackles?"

There were nearly two hundred ministers, and each one was beaten by a court stick. This was a big deal! Ordinary emperors really didn't dare to beat them like this! Even Emperor Jiajing had only hit the ministers in the great ritual dispute back then.

Everyone was stunned for a moment when Emperor Chongzhen said this. Two hundred ministers went to the Meridian Gate to mount a court stick. This scale was the largest founding country!

There was no sound below, and the spring breeze was chilling, which made everyone's neck shrink.

Emperor Chongzhen saw that no one answered below, and immediately sneered: "Why, you just now had the courage to ignore the court rituals and the officials of the Jinyiwei Hall, and the Censors scolded him and wanted to rudely interrupt Yan Shenggong's memorial, despise Yan Shenggong and despise me, but no one spoke at this moment? Do you think that the lesson I taught you and others was too light and you still don't have a memory? In this case, each person would be rewarded with twenty court sticks, okay?"

The so-called thunder, rain and dew are all for the sake of the king. If the emperor wants to slap them on the butt, he will also have to thank him according to the saint's teachings. These people just were stunned for a while, and Emperor Chongzhen doubled the court stick, which immediately scared many people.

Seeing Emperor Chongzhen like this, the law does not blame the public, I am afraid that it will no longer exist. If I wait any longer, what if the court stick doubles? What is more important is that the emperor even put down his hat. This court stick was not for the sake of Confucianism and Taoism orthodox, but interrupted the court's remarks, disregarding the court rituals and rudeness in front of the imperial court.

Thinking of this, these ministers who were out of the list suddenly felt wronged, and at the same time they scolded Kong Debin and Ma Deli who were rushing out: What are you robbing? Isn't it okay to say it when the Yan Shenggong is finished? Now, I'm not respecting Yan Shenggong. Is this a scholar supposed to have? This is spreading, what do other scholars think? The most important thing is that they have to be beaten for no reason! This court stick is embarrassing!

A few clever and saw Emperor Chongzhen's angry look, and seemed to want to speak again. At this time, they ignored it and quickly replied: "I will receive the order to thank you!"

If Emperor Chongzhen doubled the court stick again, it would be a life-threatening person! It would be worth it to be beaten to death in an unjust manner!

Don’t think that the emperor dares not. You must know that the emperor was the one who personally led the army to destroy the brutal Jianlu. When Jianlu besieged the city, he said that the city walls were on the main walls. Look, those cabinet ministers and the seven ministers, who came out to plead with mercy?

Thinking of this, more and more people scolded Kong Debin, Ma Deli and others in their hearts, and had to follow the comments: "I will receive the order to thank you!"

Emperor Chongzhen was not polite to them, and would let them go when they confessed their guilt. Soon, the Jinyiwei of the brigade stepped forward and escorted the group of officials out of the Meridian Gate.

At the Meridian Gate, there were many scholars, craftsmen and others gathered before. While waiting for the results of the court, they were fighting each other. Of course, fighting was not possible. Both sides were mostly scholars and had to be respectful. The most important thing is that there was a Jinyiwei lieutenant watching not far away, and he dared to fight under the imperial city, and whether he believed it or not, it would not be worth it.

At this moment, I suddenly saw many people coming out of the Forbidden City. Looking closely, teams of Jinyiwei were pressing out a group of officials. The number of people was far beyond the imagination of these scholars at the Meridian Gate. So, everyone here calmed down and looked over there curiously, wondering what the situation was.

I saw the officials lined up in a row, about four rows, taking off their pants, revealing their white butts. With a command, the "crackling" sound suddenly sounded one after another. Until this time, the scholars who were paying attention to this side came to their senses and were all shocked.

"Tail Staff, this is a court stick!"

"The Chongzhen Dynasty has never beaten the court stick several times in total, and I didn't expect to see it this time!"

"Not only did I see it, but so many officials also beat the court stick together. What's wrong?"

“…”

Some people immediately worried about the morning court in the Forbidden City, so they asked loudly, wanting to find out the situation.

The Jinyiwei obviously received an order and ignored them. He immediately told these people that these officials who were stole were all rude to Yan Shenggong and were punished for disregarding the court ritual system.

When they heard this, the sour scholars were immediately angry and dared to be rude to Yan Shenggong! These people immediately started to curse loudly.

"You are also from the sages, but you don't even care about the court's etiquette system. You beat them well!"

"Yes, Yan Shenggong is a role model in the hearts of our scholars. He is too late to respect. He dares to be rude and beat him to death!"

“…”

These sour scholars are originally more extreme people, and they start to humiliate them when they curse them easily.

"So many white butts are rare, even whiter than the little lady's!"

"I can paint this grand occasion. I must go back and draw it!"

“…”

While the officials were being beaten, they felt even more aggrieved. We are friendly troops, okay? You have scolded the wrong person! When they heard the harsh words of those sour scholars, they suddenly blushed and hated these sour scholars.

We fought hard in front of us, but we accidentally got the court stick for this. It would be fine if you don’t encourage us, but we even said sarcastic words, humiliated, and painted, pig!

The court stick of the Ming Dynasty wanted to kill people, but in fact, no matter how many sticks were. Fortunately, Emperor Chongzhen did not think about killing them for this matter. Therefore, they all beat them all to their butts, but they did not die, but they were sure of suffering.

After a few hits of the court, some officials couldn't help but shout. After ten records, most of the officials who were used to being pampered could not help but shout. The reason was that so many people were shouting, so it would not be embarrassing to shout by themselves, so no one would say anything. When they shouted, at least they could feel that the pain from their butts could be relieved a little.

After the court stick at the Meridian Gate was beaten, it was not delayed. After cleaning up the slightest, the two hundred officials were carried back to attend the court meeting again.

The morning court was still very quiet, and all the ministers were waiting there quietly. Emperor Chongzhen sat there drinking tea, and also gave Yan Shenggong a cup of hot tea used by the emperor to show his kindness to Yan Shenggong.

Logically speaking, it is still a bit cold weather. Drinking a cup of hot tea to moisten your throat and drive away the cold air should be a pleasant thing. Moreover, the civil and military officials in the court have all the people and the emperor, which is even more glorious.

However, Yan Shenggong's expression was a little strange. Listening to the wailing sounds coming from the Meridian Gate, Yan Shenggong's cup of tea was drunk until the officials who were sceptered were brought back, but they did not finish it.

However, about two hundred officials were lifted back, and the noise was a bit loud. Yan Shenggong finally couldn't help but take a look. When he saw that the officials who were lifted back had already been cleaned up, the misery could not be covered up. Many people could not even stand there and had to lie there to court, which was a spectacle. The number of people was so large that they were even more generous.

Yan Shenggong didn't dare to look at it anymore, so he quickly withdrew his gaze and focused on drinking tea. This time, he finished the tea in a few sips.

When all the officials were in their positions and the court became quiet again, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said to Yan Shenggong: "These people were rude to Yan Shenggong. I have taught me a lesson. I believe I have a long memory. Yan Shenggong can report it again. I really want to know how Yan Shenggong views the scientific and technological knowledge I have written? Don't worry, Yan Shenggong, no one should disturb him this time!"

I don’t know why, but why did Yan Shenggong listen, I felt that Emperor Chongzhen had something to say. In just a few short words, the emperor said Yan Shenggong Yan Shenggong. He said it several times. Could it be, is there any hint?

When he thought about this direction, the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. He thought of the emperor's majesty just now. The emperor's anger, not to mention the millions of corpses bleed thousands of miles away, but the two hundred officials were beaten to court just now, which was powerful enough! None of the officials in the court opposed it. From this, it can be seen that the emperor's prestige is already very high!

Yan Shenggong was thinking, and Xu Guangqi, the Minister of Personnel, was also thinking about things in his mind. He was a little confused. If he had made the right report just now, would he be with these two hundred officials to be sceptered together? He looked at Emperor Chongzhen who was smiling and talking to Yan Shenggong, but in the end he didn't understand, yes, or no, the two were between 55!

After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, all the officials at the court meeting, including those Han generals, were all paying attention to Yan Shenggong and wanted to listen to his next comment.

Yan Shenggong seemed to have forgotten what he said before. He seemed to think for a while before bowing and talking loudly: "I look at the knowledge of science and technology, which is really a famous work that has been passed down through the ages! I think that if Your Majesty's knowledge of science and technology appeared in the time of Emperor Wu of Han, he would definitely be able to be with Confucianism and Taoism, or even better than that. Therefore, I think that this knowledge of science and technology should be vigorously promoted in the Ming Dynasty. I think that the most urgent task now is to innovate the imperial examination, incorporate scientific and technological knowledge, and pay equal attention to the Four Books and Five Classics. This is a blessing for the scholars of the Ming Dynasty! In the future, our knowledge of science and technology and Confucianism and Taoism will complement each other, which is the right-hand man of the Ming Dynasty for the foundation of the Ming Dynasty for all generations, and it is indispensable!"

Speaking of this, he bowed deeply and his voice raised another point: "This is my heartfelt words. I will not speak up and feel happy. It is also the purpose of my visit to Beijing for this visit. It is urgent to innovate the imperial examination. It is a plan for scholars in the Ming Dynasty and for the country of the Ming Dynasty. If Your Majesty does not accept my advice, I will not kneel down!"

After saying that, Yan Shenggong really knelt down. But he straightened his upper body and looked straight at Emperor Chongzhen with a determined look on his face.

His words and actions were almost completely beyond the expectations of everyone in the morning court. After he finished kneeling down, although there were so many people in the morning court this morning, they were very quiet, so quiet that there was only the sound of the wind.
Chapter completed!
