I, Zhu Youjian: the first prodigal son of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 129 Mao Shaved His Head, He's About to Make Trouble! (seeking first order)
"The two virtuous brothers are the seeds of reading. It's not appropriate to stay in this desolate northwest place..."

Serving a few bowls of saozi noodles, listening to Huang Lizhou and Gu Tinglin's discussion about staying in Dong Zhiyuan, Mao Yuanyi shook his head again and again, and said with a smile: "If it's other scholars, I wish I could keep it and let them plant it too. A few acres of land, to experience the suffering of the people;
The two virtuous younger brothers are dragons and phoenixes among men, and they are the true seeds of my great Ming to study. If they stay in a place where there is no right and wrong, they will be known to outsiders sooner or later.

As a brother, there is no retreat, and this is the grass that has become a bandit, so you don't want to go into this muddy water. "

Huang Lizhou laughed loudly, and while chomping down on the noodles, said vaguely, "Isn't it rebellion?"

"Don't worry, my little brother has practiced boxing and kicking for several years, so he won't drag you down, General Mao."

Gu Tinglin also nodded repeatedly, expressing his unwillingness to leave.

Mao Yuanyi sighed and said with a wry smile, "Since you want to stay, then let's stay."

"However, we don't raise idlers here. Even I, Mao Yuanyi, cultivate three acres of land myself, and I will share a few acres of land with you two to cultivate later."

The three looked at each other and laughed.

Everyone is not a procrastination person, Mao Yuanyi settled the matter in a few words.

"I will ask the students to take you to the neighboring village to farm later. Recently, don't run around. I have to do something big for my brother."

"event?"

Huang Lizhou and Gu Tinglin asked in unison.

"Well, it's a big and outrageous event," Mao Yuanyi smiled, and said, "It's related to you scholars."

Gu Tinglin has not yet reacted.

Huang Lizhou's face still changed slightly, and he asked in a shy voice: "On the way, I heard that in the three prefectures of Yan'an, Pingliang, and Qingyang, you advocate that the tillers have their own land and that there is no tax for growing grain;

I also heard that the teachers and students of your academy have been dismissed and replaced with new ones. It seems... is it true? "

Mao Yuanyi didn't hide it, and said openly: "They are all from the background of scholars, who doesn't know that the so-called sage books actually talk more, not the kind of obstinate rules and regulations.

But now, look at what scholars have become! "

"But I, Mao Yuanyi, hate a useless stereotype."

"Right now, those who can study and gain fame in the Ming Dynasty are nothing more than wealthy families from all over the world; as for the students from poor families, even if they succeed in their studies, it is difficult for them to achieve anything."

Mao Yuanyi himself went to Beijing to rush for the exam several times, but because he had no money and no entrusted relationship, he tried repeatedly and failed repeatedly.

In the end, if Zhu Youjian, the idiot emperor, had not been vigorously promoted, at this moment, even food and clothing would not be able to be solved.

"In the books of sages, what we talk about is to apply what we have learned," Mao Yuanyi continued to sigh with emotion: "However, those who talk about it can neither make a few more grains grow in the fields to feed more people, nor can they calm the suffering of soldiers on the nine frontiers. Relieve my Ming's crisis.

Such a book, do not read worth mentioning. "

After speaking, Huang Lizhou and Gu Tinglin's blood boiled with enthusiasm, and their handsome and valiant faces were full of admiration.

"Brother Zhisheng speaks highly, my younger brother worships me!"

Gu Tinglin bowed and cupped his fists, and said seriously.

"However," Huang Lizhou hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Since it's aimed at scholars, do we really need to fight each other?"

"In this case, brother Zhisheng, I'm afraid you will bear the notoriety of Ma Tu Academy..."

Mao Yuanyi smiled slightly, but said nothing.

Some things are worthless to say.

Huang Lizhou and Gu Tinglin, although they are heroic and righteous, coupled with their youthful vigor, they can completely do anything for their friends.

But after all, he is also a scholar.

Moreover, they are also from well-known families in the south of the Yangtze River. From the perspective of their feet, it is impossible to give up their position just because of a 'Brother Zhisheng'?

Therefore, it is better to let him farm first, and spend a period of time on this Dong Zhiyuan.

It is too big a matter to scrape the bones of the Ming Dynasty to heal the wounds. Before the overall situation is settled, Mao Yuanyi doesn't want people to know what he, the "Mao Shatou", wants to do.

After settling down the two young seeds of study, Mao Yuanyi set off overnight, one person and one rider, slowly got off Dong Zhiyuan, and headed towards Taiyuan Mansion.

At the same time, our own students are responsible for flying pigeons to pass on the letters, mobilizing [-] elites, and they will also gather in the direction of Taiyuan Mansion during the starry night.

Mao Yuanyi, Mao Shaved his head.

Gotta do something!

……

The land of the capital, in the Forbidden City.

On the Golden Palace.

All civil and military officials quarreled together, like a group of rookies pecking at each other, each of them blushing, clenched their fists, and their eyes stared like pairs of small copper bells.

"No, His Majesty can't go on a personal conquest, it's too dangerous!"

"That's right, Your Majesty is the fundamental pillar of our Ming Dynasty. The risk is too great to conquer Koryo in person. Your Majesty, please take it back!"

"Your Majesty's personal expedition can only show the glory of my great Ming Dynasty. Therefore, I am willing to go with Your Majesty. I will not hesitate to shroud my body in horse leather!"

"Your Majesty, please take it back!"

"Your Majesty, please send troops immediately to crush Gaoli Bangzi!"

……

The officials are roughly divided into three groups.

Civil officials and Qingliu resolutely opposed the emperor's personal conquest, even at the expense of grabbing the land with their heads and blood on their faces.

In the group of military generals, the crowd was excited, eager to send troops immediately, so as to inspire the blood and courage of the soldiers at the border.

Those who remained silent were mainly the Science and Technology Rejuvenation faction headed by Xu Guangqi, Song Yingxing, etc., and the "imperial party" such as the great eunuch Wei Zhongxian.

The idiot emperor Zhu Youjian drank the fragrant tea shallowly, seemed to be listening attentively, paying great attention to every minister's 'speech', and nodded slightly from time to time.

for encouragement.

As a result, the ministers became even more noisy.

In fact, Zhu Youjian, the idiot emperor, was quietly studying his character panel with a small black number six on his face.

He was stunned to find that his 'prodigal value' was slowly increasing when he didn't say a word and let the ministers gossip.

The dog system really wants me to lie flat?
"Sure enough, without some hard work, how can I prove that I am indeed a waste..."

Mao Yuanyi's side is about to make a move. How can he, the idiot emperor who is the leader of the rebel army, not cooperate?
I guess, his iron army should be approaching Taiyuan Mansion by now, right?

"Dear dears," Zhu Youjian finally spoke, "I've made up my mind, and I'm here for the royal conquest!"

"Wei Zhongxian, declare the decree."

All the ministers fell silent.

The reason why everyone spared no effort to argue endlessly was mainly to show their loyalty and prove to the emperor——

Everyone here, except for me, are all treacherous ministers.

As for whether the emperor wants to personally conquest, it doesn't seem to be very important. In fact, since the "Tumen Fort" battle, the emperors of Ming Dynasty seldom personally conscript.

Even if it happened later, it was just staying away from the frontal battlefield, eating, drinking, having fun, killing a few generals and guerrillas who were not pleasing to the eye, and giving their so-called 'imperial power' a boost of prestige.

To put it bluntly, the so-called imperial conquest is nothing more than letting the emperor put on a show, support the facade, mobilize the people, and waste the people and money.

This is what Zhu Youjian likes.

Of course, he had another plan in his heart.

That is, taking advantage of the opportunity of the expedition to Goryeo, to move Mao Yuanyi's nest, cooperate with each other, transfer a large number of elites from the Beijing camp, and act as an out-and-out 'imperial traitor'.
