Inside the side hall, there was silence.
But Yuan Chun's screams continued to be heard.
Fifty imperial staffs, with his weak body, he would probably be beaten to death on the spot!
But now, no one will plead for him anymore, they are all thinking about more serious problems.
In front of us, the civil servant group and the King of Han Dynasty are facing each other head-on. Moreover, the King of Han has figured out the bottom line of the civil servant group. It is fame and preferential treatment, which is the lifeblood of scholars in the world!
In order to protect the interests of the Jin gentry, they, the disciples of famous religions, must clearly express their attitude!
You, Prince Han, can touch Yuan Chun if you want. You can do whatever you want, even if you want to kill him.
But if you want to expunge his reputation, then I'm sorry, this precedent cannot be set!
No matter what, this precedent cannot be set!
If the Heavenly Family can expel court officials from their reputations at will, then what dignity does the gentry officials have?
Without this foundation for survival, what else could the gentry officials use to fight against the imperial power and maintain the stability of the court?
With just one word from the emperor, he can completely destroy you and bring you back to your original form!
If it really falls into this situation, I am afraid that the Ming court will become a mess in the future.
Above the temples, rotten trees serve as officials, among the palaces and majesties, animals and beasts eat their salary; people with wolf-hearted and dog-like behavior are in power, and servile and servile people are in charge of the government one after another!
The entire temple has become the emperor's hall of speech, and there is no more upright minister who dares to fight against the emperor or admonish the emperor!
This kind of court is a deformed court, not to mention a court that civil servants and gentry would like to see.
There is a balance in everything. Too much is too little. If the emperor has too much power and no one can restrain it, it will only lead to unpredictable disasters.
What's more, you, Zhu Gaoxu, are just the prisoner of the Han Dynasty, not the Emperor of Heaven!
Therefore, there is no problem in sacrificing the idiot Yuan Chun to calm the anger of Prince Han. Even Yang Rong and others are happy to see this situation.
As long as Yuan Chun is killed by the living imperial staff, Prince Han will have no reason to continue to be angry. On the contrary, he will be infamous for being cruel and cruel!
When the imperial staff monitors the censor, and even kills people with the imperial staff alive, Zhu Gaoxu will definitely bear this infamy!
Yuan Chun's screams became weaker and weaker until they were finally inaudible.
Yang Rong and others felt happy, guessing that Yuan Chun must have died.
However, before they could be happy for a moment, they saw Nie Xing, the King of Han's eagle dog, striding in.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty, if Yuan Chun is willing to deprive himself of his fame and beg for his life, will he still fight?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was shocked!
Yang Rong and others' expressions changed wildly, and they immediately gritted their teeth with hatred.
Yuan Chun, Yuan Chun, you damn bitch, you took the initiative to hand the knife to the Han prince and let him point it at the world's gentry!
Damn you bastard, why don't you die?
Xia Yuanji and Jin Zhong looked at each other, and both could see the solemnity in each other's eyes.
In order to survive, Yuan Chun took the initiative to request that his fame be revoked. This was impossible.
No matter how stupid he is, he still understands the importance of fame to a scholar. Once he loses his fame, Yuan Chun is not even qualified to be called a scholar. He can't farm the land, and he is worse than an ordinary farmer!
So, this is... a trick made by surrendering?
Xia Yuanji glanced at the expressionless Prince Han and frowned tightly.
His Highness the King of Han is really ruthless.
Zhu Gaoxu pretended to be surprised and said: "Well...since Yuan Maizhi is so sensible and takes the initiative to ask for the abolition of his fame, then let's not fight him for now!"
"Send him to the Imperial Hospital to treat his injuries, then strip him of his official status and expel him from the capital!"
"Everyone, how about this punishment? I have complied with Yuan Chun's own request and given you enough face!"
Admittedly, it was not Yuan Chun who requested it, but Nie Xingqu who made the move.
Before the execution, Nie Xing told Yuan Chun about the deal.
Either you take the initiative to request that your career be revoked and give Prince Han a chance to step down; or you wait to be beaten to death, and then your body is wrapped in a torn straw mat and thrown into a mass grave!
Yuan Chun was, after all, an "upright minister". He was not intimidated by Nie Xing, a cruel official, and directly rejected the deal.
After all, once he loses his fame, he will have to pay taxes on the fields in his hometown, and it will be difficult to support his family. How can he be a noble scholar like Xianyun Yehe?
It's just that he underestimated the power of the imperial staff and overestimated his own courage.
After only twenty-four strokes, Yuan Chun was already so painful that he passed out several times, and then was forcefully woken up again.
He finally realized that if he continued to fight, he would really be beaten to death here!
In desperation, Yuan Maizhi chose to follow his heart and accepted the deal from Prince Han.
Fame will be gone if it is gone. After all, there is still life left!
As for what those courtiers would think, Yuan Chun no longer cared.
My life is almost gone, you can think whatever you want!
Under Nie Xing's kind reminder, Zhu Gaoxu now had a reasonable excuse to expunge Yuan Maizhi's reputation.
However, whether this excuse is reasonable or not depends on whether Yang Rong and other famous disciples can accept it.
Obviously, they couldn't accept it.
Yang Rong took a deep breath and said bravely: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the King of Han, if you really want to expunge Yuan Chun's meritorious service, then I will beg for his bones and return home!"
"I second the proposal, begging for bones!"
"Please tell me and return home!"
One after another, the important ministers of the court spoke out, putting on a wonderful drama of collective resignation!
Zhu Gaoxu's face was expressionless, and he had already expected it.
Resigning collectively is the group attack skill of the civil servant group, and it is also their final move to check and balance the imperial power.
After all, the emperor still needs these courtiers to handle state affairs and to herd the people for the old Zhu family. He can't really go his own way and drive them all away, leaving him alone as a herdsman.
It seems that this honor is really the lifeblood of civil servants. If anyone dares to touch it, they will fight to the death. UU Reading www.uukanshu. net has even launched the big move of collective resignation.
But Big Fatty had a livid face and glared at these so-called loyal and virtuous people!
Their shameless faces really make the prince feel sick!
They don't care about Yuan Chun's life or death!
They don’t care about the interests of the imperial court!
All they care about is their own interests, the interests of the Jin gentry!
You still have the nerve to stand here with a high-sounding voice, singing about benevolence, righteousness, morality, and the holy words of Confucianism!
Ugh, disgusting!
Zhu Gaoxu stood up slowly, looked directly at the officials who had resigned, and was about to use his ultimate move to counterattack.
But Big Fatty took the lead and shouted coldly: "In order to survive, Yuan Chun requested to be removed from his position, but you have blocked him time and time again. Can you explain to me why?"
After hearing what the prince said, the expressions of Yang Rong and others changed again, and they were speechless at all.
Why?
Because fame is the foundation of the Jin gentry and cannot be touched by anyone!
Even if Yuan Chun takes the initiative to ask for his career to be revoked in order to survive, that won't work!
It's just that Yang Rong and others don't know how to face the prince at this moment.
After all, what they are doing now has nothing to do with Confucian sage thought. It is all for the benefit of the Jin gentry!
In other words, they were adhering to the bottom line of being a gentry official and fighting against the imperial power!
Big Fatty glanced coldly, everyone lowered their heads, and no one responded.
In an instant, Zhu Gaochi was greatly disappointed and completely gave up on this group of Cheng and Zhu scholars.
Perhaps, fully supporting the second child's new learning is a good choice.
At least there will be pressure when there is competition. These Cheng and Zhu scholars do not dare to be so confident and use the big move of collectively resigning to fight with the second one!
These Cheng and Zhu scholars have lived a privileged life for too long and are rotten to the core!
