    ??

    Zhu Youxiao looked at these Donglin gangsters who were looking for death and life, took a deep breath and said: "I will not let you die, but if you don't repent, I will let you be ruined, even if your reputation is behind you, I will let you die."  Let¡¯s write it down in the history books!¡±

    Ye Xianggao was ready to risk his life at this time and shouted angrily: "Justice belongs to the heart of the people. Even if your Majesty kills all of us, people in the world will only think that it is your Majesty who is cruel, not our disloyalty!"

    "Hahahaha!" Zhu Youxiao looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "You have been reading for decades, but you don't know that history is written by the victors. You scholars have mastered the pen before, and you are responsible for your merits and demerits.  I have the final say, but now that the pen is in my hands, I naturally have the final say on how to write this history book!"

    Ye Xiangqi's Qiqiao smoked, and said coldly: "Your Majesty's words are wrong. There are thousands of scholars in the world. Even if Your Majesty seals their mouths and restrains their pens, your Majesty will eventually die when Long Yu passes away.  At that time, people who speak out for justice will naturally appear, and I am afraid that by then His Majesty will be the greatest tyrant in ancient and modern times!"

    Ye Xianggao's words can be said to be extremely bad. Not only did he openly reprimand Zhu Youxiao, but he also used Zhu Youxiao's posthumous name to threaten the emperor. If it were placed on others, Ye Xianggao would definitely be killed today!

    However, Zhu Youxiao disagreed and said: "I don't need to seal anyone's mouth or control anyone's pen. As long as I lead the Ming Dynasty to continue to grow stronger and make the people of the Ming Dynasty have food and clothing, naturally there will be people who will praise me. What's more, now  Most public schools in the world are supported by the royal family. I believe that within ten years, most of the scholars in the world will be my disciples. Within twenty years, most of the officials in the world will be royalists who support me. Within five years, most of the world¡¯s scholars will be my disciples.  In ten years, you old people who hinder me from revitalizing the Ming Dynasty will become traitors and sycophants that everyone will criticize!"

    Zhu Youxiao¡¯s words directly silenced the Donglin Dukes present. They always believed that as long as they had control over the scholars, the emperor would be powerless against them.

    Even if the emperor Zhu Youxiao is too strong and they can't restrain him, when Zhu Youxiao dies, the next emperor may not be as powerful as Zhu Youxiao. At that time, it will still be they, the scholars, who have the final say in the world?

    But they never expected that Zhu Youxiao would come to drain the fire, and the royal family would spend money to train scholars themselves. In this way, scholars like them would have no use!

    But things are really as Zhu Youxiao said, as long as the royal family continues to invest in cultivating scholars, there will be countless scholars speaking for the royal family and driving the emperor in the future!

    In addition, the world belongs to the royal family. As long as those scholars who have received royal favors grow up, it will not be easy to promote these people?

    If the imperial court deliberately focuses on scholars trained by the royal family when promoting officials, I am afraid that all the scholars in the world will flock to the schools run by the royal family. By then, they will really become mice on the street!

    To be honest, this group of people in their decades are really not afraid that the emperor Zhu Youxiao will deal with them. Anyway, the worst thing for them is death, and if they are killed by the emperor, they will be remembered in history!

    But the emperor Zhu Youxiao took a different approach and played their tricks of sharp words and pens even more slippery. The most terrible thing is that the emperor played this trick much easier than they did, leaving them with nothing at all.  The power to fight back!

    The Dukes of Donglin, who were filled with righteous indignation just now, were instantly shrouded in gloom and mist. They thought hard but could not find a way to deal with it!

    Zhu Youxiao saw that the confidence of these people had been broken from the spiritual level, so he softened his tone and said: "I could have ignored you and sent you directly to the eighteenth level of hell, but I still came to Jiangnan because I  I know that although you are pedantic, stubborn, and have even been abandoned by the times, you still have some merits, so I want to give you a chance and let you leave a mark in the history of future generations. I just don¡¯t know if you are willing.  I don¡¯t want to cherish this opportunity anymore!¡±

    All the Donglin princes, you look at me, I look at you, it seems as if they have walked around in the underworld and been pulled back to human affairs. Although they know that this confrontation with the emperor is a complete defeat, but one day  Thinking of their names during and after death, each of them felt alive in their hearts!

    Ye Xianggao stopped making trouble at this time and bowed to the ground: "Your Majesty, please make it clear!"

    Zhu Youxiao returned to the Long Shu desk and sat down, and said bluntly: "The conflict between you and me is nothing more than a battle of interests. I want to open sea transportation, collect business taxes, equalize land, and even open a royal trading house to directly intervene in salt and tea."  , copper, iron and other transactions, this has directly harmed the interests of you and the financial backers behind you, so you have to go against me even if you know that you are not my opponent!"

    ? ?Mr. Lin didn't expect Zhu Youxiao to be so clear about what he said. Not to mention being pretentious, he just took off his underwear without leaving any face at all!

    But it is impossible for them to deny it. After all, these things are no longer secrets. If the emperor doesn¡¯t tell them, everyone will just pretend to be confused.

    But the emperor put these things on the table. If he wanted to refute, not only would the chance of success be slim, but the most important thing would be that he himself would appear to be too irresponsible!

    Seeing that these people were silent, Zhu Youxiao knew that they had acquiesced, so he continued: "I said that I have power, money, and fame in my hands, and I don't care about giving these to you, but you and the people behind you  The gold masters should remember one thing. When you get the power, you must do things for me and the people of the world. As for silver, there is plenty overseas. The Ming Dynasty¡¯s army will protect you and let you seize wealth all over the world. But  I will never allow you to harm the people of the Ming Dynasty again. Think about it, now that you have power and wealth, you can make the Ming Dynasty proud of the world, and the people have enough food and clothing, are you still worthy of your name?"

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????? is and and now and now they threw out a big sweet date, these Donglin bosses couldn't help but start imagining the bright future that Zhu Youxiao had painted for them!

    Seeing that his words had an effect, Zhu Youxiao continued: "Actually, you are all smart people, but you are so restrained by the fame and fortune in front of you that you can't see far, which led to our war between kings and ministers.  Fight, but as the saying goes, a prime minister's belly can hold a boat, and I, the emperor, can't be any less powerful than the prime minister, so I sincerely invite you to work with me for the sake of the Ming Dynasty and for the people of the world to work together in the same boat. I wonder if you are willing?"

    The words have been made clear and the interests have been clarified. At this time, Zhu Youxiao extended an olive branch. If these Donglin bosses don't know how to continue, they will really end up reading decades of books into the dog's belly!

    So, a group of Donglin big guys said in unison: "The common people are willing to go through fire and water for His Majesty, no matter what!"

    Although these Donglin bosses all have titles, they are not officials after all, so they can only call themselves grass-roots people. However, at this time, they already feel that the word "grass-roots" must be dropped!

    Zhu Youxiao nodded and said with a smile: "You all know the general idea. I will give you one thing now. I need someone to go to Tianzhu, Nanyang, South China, and America to set up colleges to spread the Ming Dynasty's Confucius and Mencius teachings all over the world. In addition,  I still need someone to go to Europe to study and see the outside world, and write down all this and compile it into a book. It¡¯s up to you to choose the candidate. I can only guarantee one thing, that is, I won¡¯t let those who go out suffer!¡±

    ??The Dukes of Donglin, who had been so excited just now, seemed to have been poured cold water on them again. They didn't understand why they were going against the emperor and wanted to be sent to those poor mountains and harsh waters. They were treated like nothings by the emperor. Why were they still treated like this?

    Zhu Youxiao saw their doubts and knew that the knowledge of these people was still too shallow. He was not willing to waste more time with them, so he stood up and said, "I'm tired. If you need anything, just ask Lu Qingping!"  "

    Say it!

    Zhu Youxiao got up and left!

    "The common people are waiting to send you off to Your Majesty!"

    All the Donglin bosses can only say goodbye!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
