Chapter 613: The water is too deep
Guangxi people have always been rebellious. They usually look very easy to get along with, and they are heroic and not shy, but once they are angry, things are hard to say.
First, hundreds of students gathered to cause trouble in the Tuxueya Office. If these students dared to cause trouble, they would naturally not have no support.
In the Guangxi government, there were many officials who sympathized with Chen Xue. In fact, since Lang Son started his career, merchants from all walks of life gathered, and many officials participated in it when they saw profitability.
No one in the world knows that anyone who is an official in Guangxi has a hopeless future. Therefore, these old, young and poor places are refuges for some officials. Since they have no hope of career, they naturally have no intention of pursuing their careers. First, they are mostly old and secondly, they have no choice but to be their parents. But this does not mean that they have no desires and no desires. Since they do not seek progress, they will always make some money. As an official, they will be old and should be repaid. When they are older, they should be discharged from their families. They have power at this time, and then they will not be able to wait for it.
So in Guangxi Province, many officials' wives and uncles began to sell goods to Jiaozhi and other places. They relied on the fact that there were people above and were the most courageous, and even some prohibited items were not scruples, and many people made a fortune by this.
There are countless people involved here, and everyone is tacitly aware of it. However, over time, the theory of Chen Xue was passed on to their hands through their disciples and relatives. The interests of these people are closely related to Lang San. They can ignore Chen Xue's theory and maintain the normal state. This is their interests, but once someone breaks this balance, it is hard to say.
Therefore, Natixue's affairs caused a lot of grievances, and these people were forced to instigate them. So the change of learning began. A group of angry students surrounded the Xueguan Yamen for several days. Natixue hurriedly asked the commander-in-chief for help, but in this Ming Dynasty. Anything involved in the students was a huge matter. The commander-in-chief dared not act rashly, so he ignored it. However, the Guilin Mansion was already full of rumors. It was said that the Tixue wanted to mobilize troops to suppress the students, and that those involved in the matter would be severely punished. The angry students rushed into the Tixue's yamen without saying a word, and caught Natixue and beat him up. If it weren't for the servants who rescued the Tixue, God knew what else would have happened.
But just making trouble like this is enough to shock the world.
Zhou Lifan was stunned when he looked at the report. Although he had been in Beijing for a long time, his political awareness was not as good as the old bureaucrats in Jinling City. However, based on this report alone, he knew how serious the matter was.
There are two problems here. One involves pseudo-learning. In fact, there are many various theories in the Ming Dynasty. Although the imperial court appointed Neo-Confucianism, there were occasionally some theories everywhere. These theories, even the creation of some retired masters, had some influence. However, this influence was only regional and not many people were affected. However, as in Guangxi, according to what Natixue said, six or seven out of ten people believed in the different theories of Chen Xue, which was a bit serious. Moreover, Chen Xue was obviously more radical than other schools, and even overturned many consensuses. Natixue even beat his chest and fell to his feet, saying that since Confucius and Mencius, he has never heard of such a great rebellious statement.
Zhou Lifan is not sure how to be ruthless at the moment, and he knows that there is a more terrible problem in this matter, which involves the issue of ethics of the rules and regulations. A province is not only a scholar-government official in the court, but also a "teacher" for students in the province. Although this thing is really a bit far-fetched, the following are the students besieged by the disciples, and they have never been seen in ancient times in the past dynasties.
There has been no such thing as learning change. If students are dissatisfied with local people-friendly officials, they must criticize and even take some fierce measures. However, this is the first time for the academic officials.
Zhou Lifan's eyes were flashing, and he finally understood why this Lord Yang Chang and Yang called him so intimately at this time. Usually, the entire department was lip service to him. If something really happened, he remembered himself.
Logically speaking, the Ministry of Justice should indeed make an instruction. As the Minister of State, he should immediately submit a sentence to Guangxi and order them to quell the situation immediately.
But in front of Zhou Lifan, there is a very difficult thing. How can we calm down the situation? How can ordinary methods suppress such things? However, extraordinary methods are all students and scholars. What is involved in this is academic struggle, or even cruel political struggle. Once Zhou Lifan has his own ideas, he is very likely to be involved in an extremely terrible spiral. At the forefront of this storm, his every word, action, and every move is involved.
Moreover, Zhou Lifan is not a fool. Chen Xue is from Lang Son. He has some news, saying that His Highness Zhao hired Chen Xue's great scholars to teach the princes' studies. These things that were previously thought were absurd, but now after careful consideration, Zhou Lifan was surprised to find that the water here is not only deep, but is not just as simple as the surface.
"Sir, it's important, whether to immediately..."
Zhou Lifan smiled and said, "Oh, this matter is indeed a big deal, but it's just right and wrong. I have to think about it a little more, so you can go on."
He dared not make any decisions. Any advance statement may cause trouble. At present, he can only delay it. Although Zhou Lifan knew that his delay would be very likely to give someone a handle and be criticized by others, the Censorate would be impeached by him at the position of a simple meal. However, at present, even if he was impeached, this idea could not be easily removed.
Yang Chang just nodded and said nothing. The relationship between the two was quite common. Yang Chang deliberately kept a distance from him. Anyway, it was your Lord Shangshu who was responsible for it and had nothing to do with him. Since he had reported it, it was your own business, so he said respectfully: "The emperor left."
"Hu..." Zhou Lifan let out a long breath and couldn't help but rub his temples. He knew that something was going to happen.

As night falls, Xie Jin can always leave the palace whenever he leaves the palace gate and will never give anyone any evidence of political excuses. His warm sedan chair has arrived at Jie Mansion. Compared with other high-ranking houses, Jie Mansion's house is not conspicuous, not magnificent, nor has there been any pavilions and pavilions. It is just such an inconspicuous house with a chef inside. Outside the doorman, there are several old women and servants serving him. His simplicity is famous in the capital, not to mention that he is strict in the family management and upholds the inheritance of scholarly families. Therefore, the children in the family dare not cause trouble outside.
After getting off the sedan chair, the doorman came to meet him and said, "Master, there is a guest visit."
After saying that, a famous sect handed over to Xie Jin took it, just glanced at it, and then nodded: "Is the person in the flower hall?"
"yes."
Xie Jin walked in without saying a word.
When he arrived at the flower hall, he smiled. It was no one else sitting here, but Lu Zhen, the Minister of Rites. The Minister of Rites who had just transferred from the Ministry of Justice to the Ministry of Rites, smiled slightly at Xie Jin, then stood up and said, "Donald Xie left early and returned late, I am ashamed."
Lu Zhen's status is definitely a handful of people among the court ranks. Among the six ministries, except for the Tianguan of the Ministry of Personnel, his status is the most noble. Speaking of which, when Emperor Yongle had just ascended the throne, he was just a small Zhending prefect, an inconspicuous person. However, in just a few years, Lu Zhen quickly rose up and quickly reached the high position of Minister of Justice. Moreover, there is another interesting thing. After the emperor went to Beijing, the prince's son-in-law Zhang Hechao, the chief minister of Lu Zhen, lost his etiquette, and the prince pardoned him for the sake of Lu Zhen. After hearing about it, Zhu Di, who was far away in Beijing, was furious and directly imprisoned Lu Zhen and his son-in-law, but he was reinstated. Not only that, he was promoted from Minister of Justice to Minister of Rites. Such a matter was also a topic of relish on the streets and alleys.
Therefore, both Xie Jin and Lu Zhen have a characteristic. When they were in the literary world, they were all inconspicuous figures. However, since Emperor Yongle ascended the throne, they have risen quickly and often reused them. This holy favor is actually not inferior to that of Hao Fenglou.
It is actually easy to understand that Xie Jin can be today. Because Xie Jin is very literary and the emperor has always respected him, he has sought a high position. However, Lu Zhen is different. He was a prefect and was a minister for several years. He was a high-ranking minister and was a powerful Ministry of Rites, but it was hard to find any reason. This makes people puzzled.
In the officialdom, the most feared thing is that people see through the trump card. Xie Jin's trump card is well known, but Lord Lu is a confused figure. No one knows what he is relying on. But the more he doesn't know, the more he can't see through it, the more incredible it makes people feel that it is, and with a little caution.
Xie Jin did not dare to neglect him, not because he was the Minister of Rites, but because... this person himself could not figure it out, and he didn't know what methods he had.
