    Seeing that Zhu Youxiao had set a question to test them, all the supervisors were eager to give a perfect answer. However, these people found that this was an extremely pointed question. If they followed the emperor's wishes, they would agree to be exempted from military service.  The kneeling ceremony will definitely be criticized by others, and the official career may be cut off, but if you don't follow the emperor's instructions, it seems that the consequences will be more serious!

    When everyone figured out what was going on, the scene suddenly cooled down. No one dared to speak out for a while. Even Chu Zhichun closed his eyes with pain on his face. Obviously he did not agree with Zhu Youxiao's approach.  , but because I really can¡¯t find a suitable reason, I can¡¯t object!

    After all, as the emperor, Zhu Youxiao had the right to speak out and formulate the constitution. If Zhu Youxiao wanted to do something that would make people and gods angry, then as a minister, he could naturally oppose it by citing scriptures. However, the emperor directly said that a certain type of people should be allowed to do something in a certain way.  There is no need to kneel down and salute. This is the emperor's own business. What should the ministers object to?

    Zhu Youxiao scanned the faces of these supervisors, but no one dared to answer the question. Even Cao Shijie just looked at his toes and remained silent. In the end, Zhu Youxiao could only look at the little girl Ning Xi.  , this girl is a born naughty girl, when she saw Zhu Youxiao looking at her, she immediately became jealous!

    Ning Xi's brother wanted to hold her, but the girl threw her brother aside and said loudly: "Both the Han and Tang Dynasties were destroyed by force, so since the Song Dynasty, there has been a saying that culture should be used to suppress force. Your Majesty favors it."  A warrior even makes his soldiers not kneel when they see him. This breeds the arrogance of a warrior. This is a way to bring disaster. Naturally, all the lords want to stop your majesty. However, your majesty uses swords and weapons without permission, which really shows that he has lost the bearing of a king!  "

    "Very good!" Zhu Youxiao nodded and said with a smile: "Although your words are sharp, girl, at least you don't call me Hunjun anymore. However, this is also a clich¨¦. It neither hits the point nor expresses the thoughts of the officials!"

    Ning Xi was stunned, tilted her head and asked, "Then what does Your Majesty have to say?"

    Zhu Youxiao stood up, walked around for a few steps, glanced at everyone present, and asked loudly: "The martial arts of the Han and Tang Dynasties were so great, how can the two Song Dynasties be compared?"

    Everyone shook their heads when they heard this. When it comes to martial arts, the Han Dynasty ranks first, followed by the Tang Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty and Song Dynasty are not even at the bottom of the crane. This is the consensus of the world, and no one can say anything about this matter.  Fourth, even if both the Song and Ming dynasties used culture to suppress military force, we can only talk about the harm of military generals and cannot slander the martial arts of the Han and Tang Dynasties!

    Zhu Youxiao added: "Don't talk about the Han and Tang Dynasties, even during the time of Taizu and Chengzu of our dynasty, the prosperity of martial arts was not inferior to that of the Han and Tang Dynasties. However, after the Tumubao incident, the prosperity of culture and martial arts declined, so that the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty were restored.  , often invade our border fortress and plunder our people, but our army can hardly get out of the border area hundreds of miles away. Now even the Tungus Jurchen savages can defeat our Ming army.  The tragedy of the Yuan Dynasty's destruction of the Song Dynasty is about to happen again, so why shouldn't I raise the status of warriors at this time?"

    After hearing these words, everyone in the classroom fell silent again. It is not that they are unaware of the current plight of the Ming Dynasty, but as literati, none of these people are willing to improve the status of warriors, but what Zhu Youxiao said is true.  , the example is even more vivid, and people like them can't help but think about whether it is right or wrong to continue to squeeze warriors!

    Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "Since ancient times, every time a dynasty changes, the new dynasty will always learn the lessons of the old dynasty to avoid repeating the same mistakes. Therefore, the Song Dynasty had the rule of suppressing military force with literature.  But what kind of martial arts did Song Dynasty have to the outside world?"

    Everyone couldn't think of any martial arts in the Song Dynasty that they could show off. They had no choice but to shake their heads. Zhu Youxiao continued: "The Northern Song Dynasty was first humiliated by the Liao Kingdom, and then suffered the humiliation of Jingkang. The Southern Song Dynasty was directly  The destruction of the Meng Yuan Dynasty almost cut off the inheritance of our Han family. Such a weak dynasty, no matter how prosperous the literary affairs are, is not what I yearn for! What's more, the few words in the historical materials only reveal the weakness of a dynasty. But at that time  How many people have died under the iron heel of foreigners? How many women have been robbed, raped and humiliated by foreigners? The Central Plains is littered with corpses and rivers of blood. This is a weak dynasty that has brought suffering to China, but even so, it is still  Some people are holding on to the tablet that says civility suppresses military power. What do these people want to do?"

    Zhu Youxiao scanned everyone with his eyes like electricity. When he saw everyone, they couldn't help but lower their heads to show their surrender, even Chu Zhichun.

    Zhu Youxiao suddenly stood up and said loudly: "These people are not doing it for the court or the people, but for their own rights and money. Civil servants are in charge of the army, and large sums of military pay and land will be transferred to the hands of civilian officials. You withhold it."  Some, he withholds some, and everyone gets rich happily. As for the safety of the court and the life and death of the people, it is nothing in the eyes of these people!"

    "Your Majesty, please calm down."??The students are taught!  "

    Seeing that Zhu Youxiao was angry, the supervisors in the building quickly saluted. However, there were too many people in the building and the place was too small. Everyone could not kneel down and bowed in salute!

    Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, sat down with some dejection, and then asked: "Does anyone still think there is anything wrong with me raising the status of soldiers?"

    "Your Majesty is wise!"

    This is the only answer that everyone can give. When something is related to the rise and fall of the country, the life and death of the people, and is related to money, no one dares to stand on the side of money, otherwise it will be a scum that will bring disaster to the country and the people!

    Ning Xi could only say dejectedly: "In this case, it is reasonable for Your Majesty to elevate the status of warriors. Those who object may have other ideas, but you killed the governor of Shuntian Prefecture yesterday.  I don¡¯t know what¡¯s the point of seizing the gentry¡¯s land?¡±

    At this time, Ning Xi no longer dared to be so confident. She found that the young and good-looking little emperor in front of her seemed to make sense in everything she did.

    And those ministers and supervisors opposed him either out of selfish motives or out of ignorance, so when she asked about it, she had no confidence at all!

    Speaking of this matter, a sarcastic smile appeared on Zhu Youxiao's face. He looked at Ning Xi who was a little unnatural and asked: "Who told you these?"

    Ning Xi did not dare to look at Zhu Youxiao, but whispered: "This is a rumor among the people!"

    Zhu Youxiao smiled again and said, "Is there any rumor among the people that the reason why I personally killed Zhang Changlu was because he killed more than twenty girls?"

    Ning Xi suddenly looked up at Zhu Youxiao and shook her head blankly. Obviously she didn't know this!

    Zhu Youxiao continued to ask: "Then do you know that the gentry whose house was confiscated by me was actually a top leader in the capital. He set up gambling, solicited prostitutes, loaned usury, and bribed the government to kill the people for twenty years.  , no less than a thousand people lost their lives because of him, shouldn¡¯t such a person confiscate their homes?¡±

    Now not only Ning Xi was dumbfounded, but also the supervisors and Chu Zhichun were dumbfounded. Most of them had heard what happened in the court, but what they wanted them to know and what they didn't want them to know, that didn't matter.  It's hard to say. It would be strange not to be shocked when I heard Zhu Youxiao say it himself today!

    Those supervisors finally knew one thing, that is, someone wanted to use them as swordsmen and let them fight to the death with His Majesty the Emperor in front of them, but those people would not help them, but would only watch from behind as they died.  It can be said that if the emperor does not come to the Imperial College today, those people's goal will be achieved!
