From August 22 to early September, a large number of memorials impeaching Xiao Sheng and memorials accusing the emperor of being loyal and treacherous, and many scholars gathered to promote the remarks of evil in the country.

Some people gathered near the Beijing University Hall and kept asking for trouble for new students.

On the fourth day of September, all these sounds disappeared.

Because on this day, a news came to the capital.

The Confucius family in Qufu colluded with the Later Jin Dynasty and intended to rebel and subvert the Chinese clothes. They were ashamed of Confucius's way. Fortunately, some of them stopped and reported it to the court.

The Kong family's rebellion has been quenched, and there is no longer the Kong family. Except for the thirteen people from Kong Ye who were lost and returned, the rest of the people were beheaded to serve as a warning!

Subsequently, the newspaper published the crimes of the Kong family "reported" by Kong Ye over the years, including not limited to occupying one million mu of land, raising two thousand private soldiers, selling military supplies to the Jurchens, etc.

Each of them is a death sentence, and the members of the Kong family are all innocent people who have died, and there is no wrong judgment.

After the news came, the clamored people knew that they were finished.

Even the Kong family, the role model of the All Times, was destroyed. What else did the emperor dare not?

First there was the Kong family, and then they were waiting for others. They shouted again and were afraid that they would die even worse.

They expected it was still very accurate. In the afternoon of the same day, the Jinyiwei directly arrested a large number of people.

Most of the charges are to collude with enemies and treason, which means to die.

After this day, scholars of Confucianism all over the world were silent and the new study succeeded in taking office.

Of course, in the southern region, the power of corrupt scholars is still deeply rooted.

During the Ming Dynasty, there were still many Confucian children. In order to make these people more at peace, Xiao Sheng and Zhu Youjian discussed a solution.

On the sixth day of the ninth month, the court announced the establishment of the "Ru Lin Ya Shi Pavilion", inviting famous Confucian scholars to join, organize, integrate, annotate Confucian classics, and then publish them all over the world.

The four great masters of Confucianism, Kong Ye, Meng Nan, Yan Shilin, and Zeng Mingyi, were the main ones. They first entered the Yashi Pavilion, mainly based on the knowledge of each school, and compiled books.

On the same day, news spread that the court was going to reform the imperial examination system. In the new imperial examination, the assessment books for those who are officials were compiled by the "Rulin Yashi Pavilion".

This news made everyone think that the emperor still needed Confucianism to maintain his rule, and entering this new institution means becoming a truly academic dictator.

In the past, the court only divided the scope of the exam, and the content of the actual assessment was not very clear.

But now the court asked them to compile and evaluate the books, that is, the people of the "Rulin Yashi Pavilion" designated the specific requirements and content of the exam themselves, and also handed over the right to explain to them.

As editors of the assessment books, the correct answer is not to write whatever they want. All officials in the world require them to be teachers, so why not be worried about becoming academic hegemons who master a faction?

Originally, the Kong family was the dominant one and had this power. Now the court has deprived this power from the Kong family and given it to the "Rulin Yashi Pavilion", which is equivalent to giving it to the celebrities and scholars among them.

Entering it is much more noble than entering the Hanlin Academy.

Those who learned the news decisively rushed to the capital. As for the words "maintaining the majesty of Confucius" that had been shouting before, all of them were thrown behind them.

"Rulin Yashi Pavilion" does have the power to compile. The three main assessment textbooks for the new imperial examination, "Chinese Interpretation", the primary school textbook "History of Literature and Fu", and the "Statement of the Strategy", "Thoughts and Cultivation" and "Civil Affairs" in the Ming Tongzheng School were all compiled here.

However, in the end, these things must be published through an independent "trial office" organization.

The people here are all refugees who receive new ideas and are from the Liuli Marquis' Mansion and are independent and directly under the management of the emperor.

They have no official positions and their salaries are affiliated with the Jinyiwei system.

Therefore, the dominance of the scholars and officials of the Ming Dynasty should not be in the Rulin Yashi Pavilion, but in the "Trial Trial Office".

The imperial court directly recruited a group of people to enter the "Yashi Pavilion". The prestigious ones include Liu Zongzhou, who was known as the last Confucian master of the Ming Dynasty, Yuan Keli's disciple, and Huang Daozhou, the director of the Books Department who is in charge of the Ming Dynasty's books.

The young people include the leaders of Fushe, Zhang Pu, Zhang Cai, Chen Zhenhui, Fang Yizhi, Mao Xiang and others among the four young masters in the late Ming Dynasty.

The main part of the editorial and integration work is the "elderly group", and the young people are trained to replace these people.

There are no official positions in the Yashi Pavilion, but it is precisely because of this that it is more attractive to those "famous scholars".

After all, they cherish their feathers very much and do not want to be said to have joined the Yashi Pavilion for "utilitarianism", but purely for academics and for the better development of Confucianism.

Liu Zongzhou is the master of Yangming's Mind Studies, and he has made innovations. What "water is too cool" and Qian Qianyi and others are far from comparable to their status in the world.

After being invited, the old man agreed to come immediately.

He didn't like being an official, but just hoped to spread his thoughts, so this Yashi Pavilion was just right for him.

Not only him, but most celebrities also have this attitude.

The so-called "nothing" under the reputation may not be all talents of political affairs, but at least they are very good at Confucianism, Neo-Confucianism, and academic research.

And what Zhu Youjian needs are these people.

Of course, Xiao Sheng uses modern resources to compile the knowledge of government affairs. Now Xiao Sheng has no problem setting up an academic group with the wealth that Xiao Sheng has mastered in China.

A large group of famous scholars represented by Liu Zongzhou joined and attracted the restless scholars all at once. The voices against Xiao Sheng seemed to be pressed by the "clear button" in an instant, and they all disappeared.

Mao Xiang was Mao Pijiang, and their joining Yashi Pavilion inspired the enthusiasm of those young people.

"Rulin Yashi Pavilion" belongs to the Ministry of Rites. Although it does not have a rank, it also has some titles.

For example, after Liu Zongzhou came, he served as the "Great Religion".

The great scholars are followed by Hanlin, and the lower ones are the good scholars.

"Hongru" has only five seats, and Hanlin is divided into first-class Hanlin and second-class Hanlin, while Yashi is divided into first-class to third-class.

In this way, there are six levels and six levels of treatment. The highest-level Hongru can receive 400 silver dollars, that is, forty taels of silver every month. Based on purchasing power, it is about 30,000 yuan per month.

The lowest-level third-grade scholar also receives twenty silver dollars every month, or two taels of silver.

Such an elegant job, but with such generous treatment, which celebrity would refuse?

So, within a month after the establishment of the Rulin Yashi Pavilion, almost all the Confucian forces in the Ming Dynasty entered this place. Zhu Youjian put the old school targeting the new learning and took it into his hands.
