After hearing this, Yuan Ting suddenly panicked: "Dongchang, why are the Dongchang here? Why are we intruding on Dongchang?"

Yuan Keqing was also stunned for a moment, then looked at Yuan Ting and said, "Let's go and have a look first."

Yuan Ting nodded and said, "Then go and have a look."

So, Yuan Ting brought a group of elders from the Yuan clan to the outer hall, and met people from the East Factory here, and couldn't help but shout: "Why are you here, can you tell us, so that we can know what sins you have committed?"

"That's right, I don't know if it's related to Duke Xingguo, but Duke Xingguo's family has been expelled from the genealogy by our Yuan clan. If their family disobeys the emperor, it will naturally have nothing to do with our Yuan family. Please give me a great clarion!"

Yuan Keqing also said, thinking that the only thing that the Yuan family can have with the court now is Yuan Keli's house, and the people from Dongchang came to his Yuan family, which was probably related to it, so he was eager to clear his relationship.

Li Ruolian, who was in charge of this operation, laughed: "I know! If the Duke Xingguo family has not been fired from you, maybe our Dongchang will not come yet, nor will we dare to come. But now because Duke Xingguo family has been fired from you, our Dongchang people will dare to come!"

Yuan Ting opened his mouth and wanted to say that the family tree of Duke Xingguo was not expelled from his Yuan family, but he knew that Dongchang would definitely not believe him when he said this now, and would let his clan members laugh at it, making his majesty in the clan disappear.

"Get someone!"

Li Ruolian shouted loudly at this time.

The Dongchang man immediately took Yuan Ting up first.

Yuan Keqing was also arrested.

Yuan Dong was also taken up and shouted, "Uncle, I have advised you to not have the interests of our gentry, just because the Sixth Uncle (Yuan Keli) did not take care of the interests of our gentry, and they had to pay the food together with officials and gentry. You just listened to the instigation of those gentry members who were close friends to their family members. But you are good enough to get them out of the family tree in order to get the Sixth Uncle, but they are not expelled from their family. Now, they still can't get them. The court's kindness to our Yuan family is for the sake of the Sixth Uncle, and it doesn't really look down on our Yuan family!"

"Yuan Dong! Shut up! You are also from Yuan Shuxue of the Sixth House, right? You dare to tell me that your uncle is here. Yuan Shu is fine, and he doesn't complain. He is disregarding human ethics and incompatible with the etiquette. He has never been able to deal with the clans. There is no reason why clans slander the clans! This is simply unfair!"

Yuan shouted loudly.

Seeing this, Li Ruolian went up and slapped Yuan Keqing: "I'm old, shut up! According to your wishes, if the clan wants to rebel, the clan members cannot sue, right?"

"What's wrong with having a kiss?"

A young scholar from Yuan replied loudly.

"It's a big mistake!"

Li Ruolian replied and ordered: "Take them away!"

In this way, all the people from the Yuan clan were taken into the prison car.

Li Ruolian came to Yuan Shu next, and became much more polite, and said with a smile: "Dude, please come to Beijing with us, too. The emperor said that although you have been expelled from the Yuan clan, the court does not recognize it. Therefore, if the court wants to take the whole family of the Yuan clan, your whole family must be taken to Beijing."

"What does this look like? The clan has driven out our family. Why are we still implicated and suffering by them!"

Yuan Shu's son Yuan Fucheng said with dissatisfaction.

Yuan Shu stopped him: "Fu Cheng, don't be rude!"

After saying that, Yuan Shu stretched out his hand and said to Li Ruolian: "Please!"

So, Duke Xingguo's family was also escorted to Beijing.

...

"Duke Xingguo impeached the elders of his clan, which was not in accordance with the etiquette! This move is a great rebellion!"

"The clan power has not been recognized by the imperial sect and national laws. Why do they expel Xinbin Wang from the genealogy? Are the capable ministers who have made great achievements for our Ming Dynasty not even qualified to join their own genealogy?!"

"Is the Xinbinwang family worthy of being a member of the Yuan family? Only the Yuan family's own clan knows that the court has no right to interfere!"

"Your Majesty has issued a decree to King Xinbin to enjoy the Taimiao, and even the qualification to enjoy the Taimiao, why are you not worthy of the sacrifices of the Yuan clan!"

"Whether King Xinbin can enter the Yuan clan ancestral hall and whether he can be buried in the ancestral land is the ritual system, not the imperial court. The royal ritual system is determined by the court, and the family ritual system is naturally determined by the clan!"

Because Zhu Youxiao asked someone to announce the matter of Yuan Shu's impeachment of his clan to the world through the Dibao, allowing civil servants and scholars all over the world to discuss, fight verbal wars and written wars, the civil servants and scholars really argued about it and were in full swing.

There are constant arguments on the street podium.

Articles in private newspapers and magazines are constantly updated.

Some radicals even went directly to the Ministry of Rites to petition to maintain the etiquette system, and some went to the Censorate to petition to maintain the imperial system and the National Law.

Of course, there are also fights.

"Although there are still many scholars who support the rule of the country with etiquette, there are still many scholars who have changed their minds to support the rule of the country with law for various reasons. The Ming Dynasty will eliminate the disadvantages that are caused by the rule of the country with etiquette. Therefore, we can now try to carry out reforms to rule the country with law."

"Although law is nothing more than human feelings, that is, legal principles are established based on morality, morality cannot replace laws and regulations after all! No one can set up a private court in the name of morality and etiquette! The clan power represented here must be removed until his parents cannot control all rights and interests of their children because of filial piety, because children are children, not slaves!"

Zhu Youxiao said.

"Yes! But your Majesty, in my opinion, this must be done step by step. Independence and freedom cannot be changed overnight. Although the Ming Dynasty now needs more people who can leave the clan, family, consume, work, and even run business, it is useless to change traditional concepts and follow the trend and force regulations."

Bi Ziyan reminded at this time.

"I naturally know, but I have to make a good start. The Yuan clan is the only one. The court must stand on Yuan Shu's side and express his opinion so that those who dare to resist their clans can stand up more bravely in the future, thereby dismantling the clan's power. I believe that with more and more scholars, the chance of leaving the clan to live independently will be higher and higher, and more such people will appear."

Zhu Youxiao said.

...

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao decided to personally hear the case of Yuan Shu impeaching his clan, and asked someone to bring up the clan rules of the Yuan clan and read them carefully.

"Soak the pig cage? Who gave him the power of the Yuan clan to soak the tribe members? Since that's the case, so I also soak the patriarch Yuan Ting for me! Let him suffer for himself!"

Zhu Youxiao shouted.

When Yuan Ting heard Zhu Youxiao’s decision to deal with it, he couldn’t help but shout: “Your Majesty, that’s the one who deals with the unkind and unconventional tribesmen, and the common people are also for the sake of the purity of their families!”

"No matter how unfair the customs are, it must be handed over to the government for disposal. There is no need to say anything, carry it down and soak it in the pig cage!"

Zhu Youxiao ordered.

Therefore, Yuan Ting was really carried to a river outside the city, and under the supervision of Dongchang, Censorate, Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, and Jinyiwei, he was put into a pig cage and then soaked into the river.

And while being carried away, Yuan Ting shouted desperately: "No! No!"
