The officials in the hall agreed.

Lin Yanchao was also following the crowd. Under the influence of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, scholars' adherence to the etiquette system can be said to be engraved in their hearts.

For example, in the Analects of Confucius, Zigong wanted to leave and tell Shuo the sheep, and the emperor said: I love the sheep, and I love the etiquette.

When Zigong wanted to remove the sheep on the ceremony, Confucius said, Zigong, you cherish that sheep, but what I value was ritual.

Lin Yanchao thought to himself that what the emperor never expected at this moment was that his prime minister would object so persistently.

Just like when Zhang Juzheng was about to take over the love, he did not expect the opposition of all the officials in the court, and even his disciples opposed it.

The system of Confucianism is Zhou Li!

Confucius sold his studies and believed that in order to achieve "benevolence", he would have to restore the Zhou rituals. Confucius devoted his life to restoring the Zhou rituals.

So why, when Zigong wanted to abandon the sheep in the sacrifice ceremony, Confucius said that it was not a sheep, it was a ceremony!

But unfortunately, the Legalists are completely different from Confucianism in this regard.

The Legalists clearly tell you that each generation has a system.

Even when Lin Yanchao talked about merit and learned the Taoist tradition, he also showed Zigong's examples and praised Zigong's approach, which is in line with my studies!

Lu Zuqian, Ye Shi, and Chen Liang, pioneers of Southern Song Dynasty meritorious studies all emphasized the key to the word "reform". The fundamental of Confucianism lies in "benevolence". On the basis of "benevolence", the system can be adapted to adapt to the times and achieve the purpose of using it in the world.

Neo-Confucianism opposes this point, what is flexibility? If you steal money today, you will kill people tomorrow, and you will dare to massacre the city the day after tomorrow.

How to define this measure? You are completely evil and heretics when doing this.

So why do we have to fight for the consort of Concubine Zheng?

Today, the emperor will grant Concubine Zheng the imperial concubine, and tomorrow will grant the third son of the emperor, and the day after tomorrow will make the third son of the emperor the crown prince.

So will the emperor just hope to confer Concubine Zheng as the imperial concubine?

It's hard to say.

One dynasty has its own system. The so-called Neo-Confucianism and merits are all a thinking mode.

Under this thinking mode, if you encounter any problems for granted, you can get a more recognized conclusion and avoid the existence of controversy.

For example, the emperor's practice violated the core "principal system" of the Zhou rituals, and it was a common existence for everyone.

The emperor said: "I know what all the ministers want to say. Today, I will come here in advance. Let me think about it again. Who is on duty in the cabinet today?"

Wang Xijue came out and said, "This is the minister."

The emperor said: "Mr. Wang stay."

The matter in Qianqing Palace started with a beginning, but the aftermath was far from over.

After leaving the palace, all the ministers surrounded Shen Shixing.

Yu Shenxing said directly: "The matter of Yuanfu, the matter of establishing a crown prince and what the sage intention is, is unpredictable. However, the country is based on Yuanliang, and the master's power is better than the eldest son. The establishment of the Emperor Yuanzi as the crown prince is a move that conforms to the people's hearts and is also in line with the family precepts of Taizu establishing a legitimate and establishing a eldest son."

Shen Shixing didn't speak when he heard this.

Zhao Yongxian, the right concubine, said: "Yuanfu, since the tenth year of Wanli, Yuanzi was born and announced to the world. In more than five years, the subjects of Chinese and foreign countries have been in love for a long time. However, it is rumored in the palace that the emperor favored Concubine De and had been alienated from Concubine Gong for a long time. This time, Concubine De had three sons, and the mother was the imperial concubine with her son's noble status and was honored to be above Concubine Gong. This is not polite. The lower officials asked Yuanfu to fight for it for the world, otherwise the lower officials and the ministers should submit their own memorials."

The meaning in Zhao Yongxian's words is obvious. If Shen Shixing does not persuade the founding of the country, all officials will say it themselves.

But for all officials, it may not be possible. After Shen Shixing submitted a memorial, the discussions among all officials had begun.

Lin Yanchao met Zhang Wei, a bachelor of the Academy in the hall. After entering, Zhang Wei smiled and said, "I heard that the cabinet asked the emperor to choose the candidate for the examination. Mr. Lin knew."

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "I heard a little bit that the examiner of the Imperial Examination will be a scholar who is a country's talented person. The lower officials think that Bachelor of Guang is the most suitable one."

Zhang Wei smiled and said, "I... I am not here. If I can do this, I plan to elect Mr. Lin."

Lin Yanchao said in surprise: "The officials are inexperienced, how can they dare to take on this important responsibility?"

Zhang Wei smiled and said, "Although Bachelor Lin has a low qualification, it is not necessarily impossible to have the holy intention and expectation."

Lin Yanchao heard Zhang Wei's words and said nothing. Everyone is an old bureaucrat. He can talk roughly and stop when he clicks.

If it is true, I will talk about it slowly in a few days.

So Lin Yanchao and Zhang Wei talked and walked out of the gate. At this time, a group of people cheered in the maintenance hall.

Zhang Wei and Lin Yanchao walked to the maintenance hall after hearing this, but saw several Hanlins surrounding Jiang Yinglin who had just been taught in the household department.

"Brother Jiang, this memorial is so brave!"

"The order of illuminating the elders and young people is determined by this memorial to the foundation of the country."

"We are far behind and cannot reach the point, so we can only see the heroic movement."

Zhang Wei and Lin Yanchao immediately felt something was strange and walked into the hall.

Zhang Wei coughed lightly, and all the historians in the Prosecutor's Office saw Zhang Wei, and Lin Yanchao bowed his hand to salute.

Zhang Wei asked with a straight face, "What's the noise?"

A Hanlin said: "Brother Jiang wants to submit a memorial to ask Your Majesty to establish the country as soon as possible!"

Lin Yanchao looked at it when he heard this, but when he saw Jiang Yinglin holding his head up, he was extremely proud.

Zhang Weili said, "Yuan Fu has already made a decision on the matter of the country, so why bother to say anything?"

Jiang Yinglin said: "Don't the scholar know? There are many discussions outside, saying that after the birth of the third son of the emperor, His Majesty and Concubine Zheng went to the Dagaoxuan Palace to pray for the gods' oath, and made an appointment to make the third son of the emperor the crown prince, and sealed the secret oath in the jade box and kept it by Concubine Zheng."

"The lower official knows that this is heard and is false, but rumors are everywhere, and people are uneasy. In addition, Yuan Fu submitted a memorial, but Your Majesty did not express his opinion. As a minister, he should ask the world for his heart to calm people's hearts."

Zhang Wei said: "I am confused. Since I know the truth, I am a person with a heart spreading rumors, and I am afraid that the world will not be in chaos. Your move will only add fuel to the fire and cannot clarify the rumors. This scholar ordered you to take back the memorial."

Jiang Yinglin said: "I am sorry to be unable to obey my orders. The students have already taught the teachings of the students. The ministers talk about things. This is the duty. Even if you are a bachelor of Guang, you cannot stop the ministers from submitting memorials."

Zhang Wei was so angry that his whole body was trembling. Lin Yanchao said, "Jiang, do you know the consequences of your memorial?"

Jiang Yinglin smiled and said to the sky: "I am willing to set a precedent. Even if there is a sea of ​​swords and fires ahead, what if it is? At worst, death will be to repay your kindness. Besides, I may not die,"

After hearing Jiang Yinglin's words, several Hanlin almost applauded.

Lin Yanchao also knew that Jiang Yinglin had said bad things about him in front of Li Zhi, so he stopped persuading him. Besides, some people are not afraid of death, so what's the use of persuading him?

Lin Yanchao said immediately: "Jiang is good for it."

Jiang Yinglin laughed loudly and said, "Thank you, Bachelor Guang, Bachelor Lin's kindness! The officials in charge of this matter will do nothing to do with anyone."

All the Hanlins in the hall bowed and said, "Brother Jiang, take care of him."

The next day, the director of the Household Department, Jiang Yinglin, and Chen Jing, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Personnel, wrote a letter to the emperor and asked to be appointed as the crown prince.
