Chapter 236: Removed From Fame? This Precedent Must Not Be Set!
Latest website:
Inside the side hall, there was complete silence.
All the civil and military officials were frightened by Prince Han, and looked at Yuan Chun with a little pity.
Actually, it doesn't really matter whether this scholar-official should be an official or not.
The greatest benefit of the imperial examination system is not to officially enter the official career, but to gain fame!
Han Chuang, a scholar, studied hard for more than ten years. After gaining fame, he became a scholar.
Moreover, there are many scholars who claim to be noble and refined scholars. After passing the imperial examination and gaining fame, they did not become officials. Instead, they stayed at home leisurely in the mountains and forests, living a happy life like gods!
Therefore, for scholars, the most important thing is fame!
After all, with fame and fame, a scholar's status is completely different, and he can enjoy various privileges provided by the court.
But now, Yuan Chun has been directly deprived of his fame, and his life is really over.
But if you want to blame him, you can only blame this guy for being a bitch. He thought of Zhu Gaoxu, the King of Han Dynasty, too simplistically.
Do you think that because of your fame and reputation, you were deprived of the post of supervisory censor by the King of Han, and your harsh words before leaving actually enhanced your reputation as a virtuous and upright person, Yuan Chun?
You see if Prince Han is killed or not, then you are done!
Because of those harsh words, not only was his career revoked, but his three generations of descendants were not allowed to take the scientific examination. This simply cut off all possibilities for Yuan Chun to turn around, and he could only become a farmer with his face facing the loess and his back turned to the sky!
Yuan Chun, Yuan Chun, you smart clown, why did you provoke the King of Han for nothing?
Yang Rong's face was pale. Since watching the execution that day, he had had nightmares for several nights, and he has not recovered yet.
However, seeing that His Highness the King of Han was preparing to expunge Yuan Chun's reputation, he suddenly became unable to sit still and went out to intercede on his behalf.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the King of Han, is this punishment too severe?"
"It's not easy for a scholar to study hard for more than ten years, Your Highness!"
"Once his fame is removed, it means that all his previous hard work will be in vain. This is simply more uncomfortable than killing him..."
As soon as Yang Rong finished speaking, Yang Pu stood up again.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness the King of Han, Yuan Chun is the supervisory censor after all, and has the privilege of hearing and reporting matters. If he is punished so severely because of his impeachment report to His Highness the King of Han, I am afraid that no one will dare to speak out and remonstrate in the future... …”
After Yang Pu, civil servant giants came out one after another, including Hu Yan, Lu Zhen, Xia Yuanji, Jin Zhong...
Cabinet ministers, six ministries and nine ministers, all came out to plead for Yuan Chun!
Zhu Gaoxu watched this scene coldly, not feeling any surprise.
Court giants such as Xia Yuanji and Yang Rong seemed to be interceding for Yuan Chun, but in fact they were resisting the dismissal of his title!
Yuan Chun is an out-and-out idiot, who cares about his life or death?
Let alone helping someone like this, they might one day get themselves into trouble and trap themselves to death.
Therefore, they are not interceding for Yuan Chun, but collectively resisting the dismissal of Han King Zhu Gaoxu!
Fame is the lifeblood of a scholar. Even if you take a step back, even if a civil servant is unfortunately dismissed from office, he can still go back to his hometown to teach and educate people, and rely on the income from the fields to become a noble scholar "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence" and enjoy The joy of family relationships.
In other words, fame is the bottom line for these civil servants!
Zhu Gaoxu ordered Yuan Chun to be expelled from his position, which was also a test.
After all, the compilation of Xinxue textbooks is about to be completed, and the battle between Xinxue and Cheng Zhu is about to begin.
It's just that Zhu Gaoxu didn't expect that the reaction of these civil servants would be so great, they simply wouldn't give in!
He was just expelling Yuan Chun from his reputation, but Xia Yuanji, Yang Rong and other court giants jumped out and boycotted him in unison.
Damn it, if he waits until he promotes his new learning, why won't these little old men be so excited that they just rush over?
Yang Rong and others had firm eyes and went out to perform the memorial without hesitation.
Abolition of fame is a precedent that cannot be started!
Once this hole is opened, it will become a regular practice in the future!
If a minister dares to disobey and offend Long Yan, the emperor can threaten to counterattack by depriving him of his honor. In this way, I am afraid that in the future the Ming Dynasty will no longer have loyal and good ministers who dare to speak out and remonstrate!
Zhu Gaoxu's punishment can be said to have poked a sore foot in the civil service group, and it was not surprising that he was boycotted by the civil service group.
Big Fatty squinted his eyes at the moment and watched everything with cold eyes, without speaking in a hurry.
These civil servants are really brave!
In order to protect their own interests, they would not hesitate to form a group to intimidate the second child. If they become emperor, will they treat themselves in the same way?
When he thought of this, Zhu Gaochi's face changed slightly and his eyes became extremely deep.
Zhu Gaoxu touched his chin and smiled lightly: "Well... you mean that I can remove Yuan Chun from his official position, but he cannot touch his fame, right?"
"In this way, even if Yuan Chun returns to his hometown and continues to enjoy the court's preferential treatment for scholars, he can still live a prosperous life, eating and drinking when he should, and playing with women when he should, right?"
"You literary men and women, this is what you think, right? It doesn't matter whether you are an official or not. If you want to be an official, you can be an official. If you don't want to be an official, you can go back to your hometown to idle in the clouds. Anyway, you have fame and you don't have to worry about your livelihood, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Xia Yuanji and others' expressions changed drastically, and they all knelt down in unison.
Because, His Highness the King of Han’s words were too harsh!
Zhu Yong and other military attachés had a good time watching the show. They loved to watch the show where the Han prince punished the civil servants the most. It was so exciting!
Xia Yuanji frowned, suddenly feeling that things were not simple.
He gritted his teeth and said tentatively: "Your Highness, the King of Han, Han Chuang, a scholar who has studied hard for more than ten years, passed the scientific examination and became an official, and served as herders for the emperor. This is my national policy of the Ming Dynasty."
Xia Yuanji is very smart, and behind his words, he is nothing more than reminding Zhu Gaoxu that the court cannot do without scholars, otherwise who will help your old Zhu family to hunt the world?
Even if the Mongolian barbarians take over the Central Plains, they will still have to rely on scholars to manage the country for them!
This is the greatest confidence for scholars!
Yang Rong and others felt great pressure at this moment. After all, this was the first time they had signed a group to boycott the Prince of Han, and they were doing so in front of the Crown Prince!
But now this matter is no longer just a matter for the idiot Yuan Chun, but a matter related to the interests of the entire Jin gentry group.
Once this precedent is set by sitting back and watching Han King Zhu Gaoxu expel Yuan Chun from his official position, in the future, many of their courtiers will follow in Yuan Chun's footsteps.
Han Chuang has been studying hard for more than ten years, but in the end it all came to nothing. This is something they absolutely cannot accept!
The interests of the Jin gentry mainly lie in fame and preferential treatment from the court!
Being an official is just the icing on the cake for them, not a necessary help in times of need.
They will never allow anyone to try to do this!
Even Zhu Gaoxu, the King of Han, couldn’t do that!
For a moment, the side hall fell into an eerie silence, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
This time, Han King Zhu Gaoxu's attempt to deprive Yuan Chun of his fame is gradually turning into a turbulent wave sweeping the world!
