Cui Chengxiu's words immediately caused an uproar, and countless people in the court glared at him.
What Cui Chengxiu said about this matter is really too sensitive. Everyone knows that he is talking nonsense, but the problem is that you can't really argue with him from this perspective.
After all, what Cui Chengxiu said was true. The Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed, the Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed, and then the Yuan Dynasty was destroyed.
What is the most sensitive topic in the court?
Of course, it is the collapse of the dynasty.
What is the most frightening issue for the royal family?
Of course, the dynasty collapsed.
Cui Chengxiu directly elevated the matter to this level, and from his words it was clear that he was criticizing Zhu Xi.
If this reason is acceptable and "Xunzi" can replace "Mencius", then it is estimated that other books will replace the other Four Books in the future, and the reasons have even been found.
This is like a knife hitting the vital point, a gesture that directly overthrows Zhu Xi! This is digging at the roots of Neo-Confucianism!
Zhu Youxiao glanced at Cui Chengxiu and looked at him with admiration.
It turned out that he was ruthless enough, and none of these people died for nothing.
As long as they have their support, they can really do anything. They have no stance, and their actions are quick, accurate and ruthless.
Zhu Youxiao didn't know how to evaluate such a minister.
To the emperor, this was a loyal minister, a truly loyal minister; but to outsiders, this kind of person was simply a treacherous minister who bewitched the king, and it was not unfair for him to be dragged out and tortured to death.
To put it bluntly, it is still a question of stance.
At this point, Li Zhizao, the Minister of Revenue, also stepped forward and said directly, "Your Majesty, I believe what Censor Cui says is reasonable. Since the Ming Dynasty has reopened, it is natural that we must follow our own laws. In the past few years, the Ming Dynasty was unstable, so many places inherited the Yuan Dynasty's system. This was a temporary measure taken by Emperor Taizu to ensure the stability of the Ming Dynasty."
"It is a temporary measure, and it is a last resort. Now that the Ming Dynasty has stabilized, I believe it is time to implement the laws of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Youxiao glanced at Li Zhizao and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that these people were indeed more shameless than each other.
According to Li Zhizao, the Ming Dynasty had just been established and was not the Ming Dynasty that had ruled for more than 200 years.
Li Zhizao said this as if the Ming Dynasty had just ended the chaotic times and unified the country a few years ago.
But everyone present knew that the Ming Dynasty had lasted for over 200 years, so it wasn't surprising to hear that it was the end of the dynasty. How could a dynasty last forever?
But no one dared to speak out.
What do you want to say?
Do you mean that the Ming Dynasty has been around for a long time?
Is it the end of the dynasty?
Are you trying to kill yourself? This isn't the way to commit suicide.
The most crucial point is that Li Zhizao's statement directly opened another door, which was the door of reform in the Ming Dynasty.
What ancestral system and what system, those were the last resort measures taken when the country was founded and the country was not yet stable. Naturally, they need to be changed now.
If this reason is also accepted, then the door to innovation will be opened.
Zhu Youxiao glanced at Cui Chengxiu, then at Li Zhizao, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Being an emperor is not an easy job, and none of his subordinates are easy to deal with.
These people are simply killing me.
It was originally Huang Kezun's outline for the imperial examination, but everyone tried to add their own ideas to it, and they did so crazily.
They all want to inject their own ideas into this matter, and they are really not polite at all.
