Even if the ministers don’t want to, they have to admit that some things that are very important to them have changed.

Before this, the world was ruled by the emperor and scholars. This scholar was Confucian, Neo-Confucian, and people in this hall. Although the emperor had the power to appoint and remove ministers, as long as the ministers gathered together and relied on countless scholars to form public opinion, this was called Qingliu.

In this Ming Dynasty, Qingliu's power has always been extremely powerful, and they, like the emperor, have the right to judge.

The emperor has his own right and wrong, who is good and who is bad, and good people are promoted to the title, and bad people will be dismissed. But behind the ministers, there is something called Shilin Qingjian, who also has the right to judge, and they also have their own set of judgment standards, who is good and who is bad, and good people are praised by thousands of people. Even if they are not liked by the palace, they can still soar. But if they are bad people, even if they are favored by the holy family, no matter how high their status is, they will be scolded and accused of being a traitor. They must always be wary of falling from a high place and smashing to pieces. Even if they die, they will be infatuated for thousands of years.

The vast majority of ministers care more about the clear discussion because they understand that the most important thing in being an official is stability, but they know that even if you please the emperor, you can get temporary favor and rise to the top, but people's hearts are unpredictable. Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying the tiger. If the emperor likes you today, he will most likely not like you tomorrow. Even if the emperor always likes you, the emperor does not really live with the heavens. One day, the new king will ascend the throne. If you have a bad reputation at this time, the new king may just borrow you to establish his prestige.

On the contrary, the Shilin Qing Discussion is the most stable. As long as you follow this Shilin to become an official, even if you offend the emperor, you will be dismissed from office. So what if you dismissed? You will return to your hometown with countless honors and be a rich man comfortably for several years. But as long as you have a reputation, there will always be countless people in the court and the country, inside and outside the court, and many people will be dismissed for a while. In a few years, they will be restored by the new king. In the end, the official position will become higher and higher, and the reputation will become greater and greater.

But today, many people suddenly have a terrible consciousness, that is, Shilin Qingyi is dead!

This is a great sorrow for most people. They suddenly realized that the so-called Qingliu may no longer exist from today, because Qingliu relies on the former Shilin. Those great scholars, famous scholars, and elites among scholars, control the Shilin. But now, where do they have any sound? Even if there is a sound, it has been suppressed by more than ten times the scholars.

Ye Chunqiu looked at these dirty people calmly, without any fluctuations in his heart.

In fact, Ye Chunqiu could feel the confusion of these people. They suddenly had to face a new environment and a group of new scholars. They didn't know what the likes and dislikes of these newly rising scholars were. Their experience of being an official for half a lifetime has now been invalidated. I'm afraid this feeling of being at a loss is very uncomfortable.

But for Ye Chunqiu, this has nothing to do with him. He has what he wants to do, and these people must adapt to a new era.

The ministers with a sad expression left one by one, and Ye Chunqiu turned his gaze on Zhu Zaiyao.

Zhu Zaiyao dispersed as the ministers, leaving only Ye Chunqiu. He was relieved and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, saying, "Father Ya, is my performance just right? Haha... Father Ya, I was almost kept in the dark by you. I really didn't expect that all this was your way of playing hard to get."

Ye Chunqiu was very calm. Looking at Zhu Zaiyao who was becoming more and more like the emperor, he immediately said, "Your Majesty, I just want these people to see what real public opinion is. Many people have been high and have gained wealth and have been frugal, so they pretend to regard fame and fortune as dirt. But in fact, they can despise fame and fortune, not because they are truly noble, but because they have already obtained it. Therefore, the richer the more they are, the more they despise gold and silver in front of others, and regard them as a ditch; the more famous they are

The more famous scholars said to others, fame is like a cloud. When they get benefits, they ask all those who have no vested interests to pursue the so-called saints' scriptures and defend the famous teachings that do not exist at all. However, they do not know that there are many scholars in the world who have taken countless exams and have no hope. They are powerless and regarded as pedantic and useless scholars. What they seek is actually just food and clothing, can realize their little ambitions slightly, and can fulfill the books they have read for half their lives."

"Xia Yan and others will be defeated here. He does not care about the future of scholars, but wants to represent them in the name of scholars. He only knows that he is eloquent and thinks that he has a noble personality and opposes the new system. There are many such people in the court, which used to be like this, today, and the future. But Your Majesty must distinguish right from wrong and must not truly believe their so-called moral theory. It is not that this is not good, but because moral education is important, but only caring about this, but not giving people benefits. This is called eloquence but not being able to reach eloquence. They hold high positions, have beautiful wives and concubines, and have many servants, but they want a group of people with no hope of fame and fortune and a dark future to defend their moral education. Isn't this ridiculous thing?"

"As the emperor, Your Majesty, you must not only educate the world, but also use your interests to drive the people. Otherwise, Your Majesty will think about it. Are those kings who have lost their country badly educated the world? Is it because the military and civilians have forgotten their loyalty and filial piety? No, it is not because of this, but because the profiteer eats fat and big ears, but turns his head and tells others that they should be willing to suffer poverty. Isn't this ridiculous thing?"

"The essence of the new policy is to benefit the military and civilians in the world, so that they can get more or less benefits, so that they can sell their labor, eat and wear well, and the so-called "small warehouse" knows etiquette, which is the same. The new system is the same. Now there are more and more scholars, and the court cannot ignore them. Your Majesty should let them participate, instead of ignoring them. Even if they are taught, they are just small officials who are not worth mentioning. They are grateful enough. This is ten times more useful than those preachings of countless great principles."
