Author: There are dragons in Nanshan

In March of the 20th year of Zhengtong, the new imperial examination was officially implemented.

Although there are still many oppositions, there are many supporters.

No one is stupid. When the opportunity to turn things around comes, how can you not seize it?

After nearly a hundred years of development, the gentry class has long been solidified. Although the emperor has been working hard to increase the education rate of the people, it is difficult for ordinary people to make a name for themselves even if they study.

The reason is that the original gentry class controlled most of the wealth in the world. If one more person came in, he would have to get a share of the pie. In order to protect his own interests, these people would do their best to eliminate dissidents.

Now it's fine, the old ones don't go, and the new ones don't come.

Students from all over the world set out from all over the country and rushed to the capital.

These people are the fresh blood that the Ming Dynasty urgently needs most, and are the future of the Ming Dynasty.

The traditional gentry was hit too hard, and almost all the remaining forces were concentrated in Donglin Academy. It seemed that this place had become the last pure land in the world.

Headed by the great scholar Sun Changhe, these people continued to study the Four Books and Five Classics every day, and did not forget to criticize the current situation in their spare time, guided the country and the country, and imagined that one day they would make a comeback.

But hope is getting slim.

Zhu Qizhen was very pleased. I have never shortage of people in the Ming Dynasty. If you don’t come, then there will be no chance again.

When new forces rise, the people of Donglin Academy, together with their Confucian ideas on governing the world, will be completely submerged in the torrent of history.

The great man once said how wise this sentence is that power comes from the barrel of a gun!

Looking back, I was still too conservative and often took into account the feelings of others. Every compromise represents the stagnation of the wheel of history. Now when I look back, I find that it doesn’t seem that difficult to kill just by killing everything I can.

To sacrifice, I dare to change the sun and the moon to a new sky!

If you choose to compromise again, I am really sorry for the soldiers who followed you and died in the fight against the rebellion!

Anyway, whoever dares to stroke the tiger's beard will be the right one to kill!

"Your Majesty, General Shi's memorial has arrived."

Huai'en hurriedly arrived with a memorial, because the emperor had specially ordered that memorials from the Japanese island must be submitted to the emperor as soon as possible.

Zhu Qizhen opened it and looked it out, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground.

Tuotuo Buhua didn't lie. The Japanese who defected to him were indeed just some defeated daimyos and could not survive on the island, that's all.

However, Shi Heng also mentioned in the letter that he was both good.

This person is Guan Bai from Japan. His official position is roughly equivalent to that of the prime minister of the Central Plains, and he holds great power.

According to Shi Heng's description, Yi Jianliang yearned for Central Plains culture since childhood. During his growth, he traveled to China and visited famous teachers. He was even more skillful in Confucian classics. Even in the Central Plains Scholars, he was also known as a great scholar.

At the end of the memorial, a handwritten letter from Mr. Fang was attached.

Zhu Qizhen unfolded the letter paper, and what caught his eye was a powerful calligraphy.

I am worthy of learning Central Plains culture. I write beautifully and use words very carefully. There is also a common problem with Confucianism, which is just long-winded!

Apart from the beginning of the nonsense, the content of the letter is actually very simple. As Kazuya, Kazuya, is preparing to bring his wife Aoi...

Zhu Qizhen was shocked and looked carefully three times. The girl was really named Aoi, and her name was Aoi Shinyi.

Kazuyao was preparing to bring his wife Aoi Xinyi to Beijing to pay homage, and claimed that he had treasured many books on the Tang and Song dynasties and was preparing to dedicate them to the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, he hoped that the Ming Dynasty could send students from the Academy of Sciences to Japan for exchange and study.

"I just know that this Baga has no good intentions!"

Zhu Qizhen smiled faintly and put down his letters and memorials.

Huaien asked carefully: "Master, what is Ba... Baga?"

"You don't understand!"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "The next imperial edict is to allow a good friend to meet you."

"Yes, I'll prepare now."

Huai'en was still wondering, what does Baga mean?

Why do the words from the emperor’s mouth... so profound?

Zhu Qizhen was still wondering what this new Aoi dress looks like?

The imperial edict was issued and the news spread quickly.

Among the scholars, he is quite recognized by both good friends. When he was young, he studied in the Jiangnan area and made friends with many gentry members. Even though Japan is now in a high position, he still walks between the Jiangnan gentry members as a disciple of Confucianism.

When the news reached Donglin Academy, Sun Changhe seemed to see hope.

"Good luck to everyone, I'm lucky!"

Xia Shaopeng, Cen Guangyao and others hurriedly asked, "What's the matter with sir?"

Sun Changhe had a long beard under his jaw and said, "An old friend from Japan is coming!"

Among the students, some of them did not know a good person and looked a little confused.

Xia Shaopeng was older and explained: "Although Yi Liang was a Japanese man, he had been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child, and was known as a great scholar among the scholars."

This was the first time Cen Guangyao heard about it, so he asked, "This person is so famous, how much is compared to Mr. Sun?"

"Why!"

Sun Changhe waved his hand and said, "I heard that there are orders of Taoism and specialized in art. We are all subordinates of saints, reading books of sages and wisely governing the world, no matter which one is higher or lower."

Cen Guangyao bowed his fists and said, "Sir, the students have received the teachings!"

Sun Changhe continued: "Speaking of this, I have not seen Brother Jianliang for many years. This time, Brother Jianliang came to Beijing to meet him. He must have passed by this place and was about to ask for advice."

Some of them reacted quickly and had already smelled the meaning behind these words.

The emperor is obviously supporting the Academy of Sciences and suppressing the Hanlin Academy, which is to suppress Confucianism. To put it bluntly, the emperor is deviating from the way of the saints!

Let’s look at the other country of Japan, an uncivilized island country, who respect Confucianism so much. Isn’t this obvious?

If you, Zhu Qizhen, continue to do this, the things left by your ancestors will be inherited by outsiders.

If you abandon your own good things, you will be regarded as treasures by outsiders. If this kind of thing is spread, will you, the emperor, be embarrassed?

Sun Changhe's eyes closed slightly, as if he saw hope.

Make good use of a good person to enter Beijing, which can create momentum and restore face to Confucianism.

"If you spread the news, you will say that Donglin Academy is waiting for a great scholar from Japan to exchange and give lectures."

More people began to react, and after they went back, they used their relationships to start building momentum.

Soon, scholars from all over the country knew that Yi Jianliang was coming and he had to go to Donglin Academy.

More people flocked to the scene, and the Jinyiwei was busy and sent secretly to the capital.

After seeing it, Yuan Bin did not dare to neglect it and immediately sent it to the palace.

After seeing it, Zhu Qizhen's reaction was calm and seemed to have not taken it to heart.

"Your Majesty, I feel that this momentum is not very good. Will I come forward to control it?"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand: "No, let them mess around!"
