Chapter 543 Burning down Donglin?Fainted on the spot!

Donglin Hall was to be accepted by the imperial court for official use and transformed into Donglin Academy. For the Gu family, it was like a bolt from the blue.

Therefore, Gu Yuncheng stood up in shock, asked a question in disbelief, and then looked at Gu Xiancheng.

Gu Xiancheng had a gloomy face and said:

"I thought that the emperor would demolish my Donglin because of this, but I didn't expect that he would accept my Donglin as an official office, and use it as an important place to preach new rituals and practical learning in the south of the Yangtze River!"

"Today's decisions are always unexpected, just as Zhang Taiyue's arrogance is nothing to him, and the separation of powers that my Donglin Hall advocates is nothing to him, so it is not to eliminate Donglin, but to destroy Donglin. You have to lead Donglin by yourself."

"One Xingming Academy is enough to cause headaches, and another Donglin Academy, or Donglin Academy in the south of the Yangtze River, isn't it equivalent to a knife piercing our hearts?"

"Brother said yes!"

"The tricks used by the temple can be said to be vicious!"

Gu Yuncheng also gritted his teeth and said, and then suggested:

"Why don't we destroy Donglin Hall first and set it on fire, so that the imperial court can't establish Donglin Academy!"

"In this case, even if the imperial court wants to take it back, it can only take back a piece of land full of ruins. They will not be able to find out which gentlemen in Donglin have left their handwriting and handouts here, and naturally they don't know how many there are. People advocate the separation of the human master and the human sage.”

"That's fine. Donglin Hall is like the beauty that our Gu family worked so hard to raise. If you can't keep it for yourself, then you can't let others have it. You'd rather destroy it!"

Gu Xuancheng followed suit.

Gu Xiancheng looked up at his two younger brothers at this moment and said:

"Let's take a long-term view of this matter. Donglin Hall is easy to destroy, but the emperor is not so easy to bully. If you don't let him get Donglin Hall, my Gu family may really die without a place to die."

"This……"

Gu Yuncheng and Gu Xuancheng couldn't help but glanced at each other for a moment, then they had no choice but to say nothing.

And Donglin Hall will be taken over as a government-run academy, and the news of the government-run academy directly managed by the Ministry of Education quickly spread like wildfire.

Many bureaucrats who supported or sympathized with Donglintang's ideas were shocked, panicked and even angry.

The reason for this is naturally that they all understand what it means for Donglin Hall to become a government-run Donglin Academy.

"Mr. Donglin, we must demolish Donglin Hall immediately, and we cannot let the imperial court take advantage of the opportunity of accepting Donglin Hall as the official Donglin Academy to find out how many people advocate that there should be a sage in addition to the emperor in the world, and that the father of the emperor should follow the world. Public opinion."

"It's best to burn it directly with a fire!"

"In this way, the imperial court will not be able to fully find out how many people support Donglin Hall's proposition, and it will have to take longer because Donglin Hall was burned down to build Donglin Academy, and it can even be delayed deliberately so that His Majesty forgets to ask for it. The matter of building Donglin Academy."

Wu Jiong, a scholar who supported Donglin, came to Wuxi from Huating and told Gu Xiancheng about it.

Gu Xiancheng said: "My younger brother also advocates burning down Donglin Hall, and I have the same intention, but now is not the time, after all, it is not easy for Donglin Hall to have today, I am trying to find a way to contact old friends in Beijing and let them come forward, Protect me, Donglin Hall, and don't let Donglin Hall become a government-run Donglin Academy."

"Mr. Donglin!"

"Nanjing Yangbutang sent a letter asking us to demolish Donglintang immediately!"

"Mr. Donglin!"

"A letter from Jiangxi Chen Fuyuan also suggested that the Donglin Hall be burned down as soon as possible, so as not to reduce the number of officials who were born in the imperial court!"

At that time, as soon as Gu Xiancheng finished speaking, many scholars came to see him, and expressed to him that many bureaucrats who supported Gu Xiancheng wanted him to take the initiative to burn down the Donglin Hall.

Gu Xiancheng only said to this: "Wait a little longer, wait a little longer, there will be a turning point."

"Where is the turning point?"

The scholar Wu Jiong couldn't help asking, and then said to Gu Xiancheng: "Mr. Donglin, the imperial decree has already been issued, how can there be any turning point!"

Gu Xiancheng said with a sneer: "There will be, there will be."

Gu Xiancheng was indeed looking forward to the turning point.

Because he had already written letters to many officials in Beijing.

"Zhao Mengbai sent a letter saying that things should be done according to the imperial court's order, so that Donglin Hall can become an academy that truly benefits the country and the people, and there is no need to be a private hall for one family."

Soon, the Gu family received a letter from Zhao Nanxing who had been reinstated as the Chancellor of Taichang Temple, and Gu Xuancheng told Gu Xiancheng about Zhao Nanxing's reply.

After hearing this, Gu Xiancheng's face collapsed, and he asked again: "Where's Guo Hanlin?"

"Guo Hanlin said that building more government-run academies is a national policy, and you have to be willing if you don't want to. There is no reason not to support it!"

Gu Xuancheng replied again.

After hearing this, Gu Xiancheng slapped the table heavily, stood up, and said with a somber face, "Everyone doesn't care about Donglin Tang's life or death at all!"

"Now it seems that because the number of official officials in the court is less than before, the official officials in the court have to be more wise and protect themselves, and they are not willing to lose their official positions because of other things. We are serious. You can't expect the gentlemen of the court to keep Donglin Hall!"

Gu Yuncheng spoke at this moment, and then looked at Gu Xiancheng:

"Brother, make up your mind, burn down the Donglin hall, and prevent the court's scheme from succeeding!"

Wu Jiong also stood up at this time and said: "Yes, Mr. Donglin, it will be too late if we don't burn down the Donglin Hall!"

"Mr. Donglin, it's just a Donglin hall. At worst, we will build another hall in the future!"

"That's right, if you keep the green hills, you don't have to worry about running out of firewood. Mr. Donglin, let's burn it!"

"Burn it, Mr. Donglin, Donglin Hall has really become Donglin Academy!"

……

Many officials and gentlemen who supported Donglintang spoke excitedly at this moment.

Keng!

"The nursing home is here!"

At this time, the sound of gongs and the shouts of soldiers came from outside.

"Li Zhuowu is here!"

Gu Yuncheng was shocked on the spot.

"This treacherous villain became a Fuyuan by joining Jinyiwei. He is simply a scum of my scholarly class! Now that he comes to Wuxi, it must not be a good thing!"

Wu Jiong couldn't help cursing at this moment, and then looked at Gu Xiancheng: "Mr. Donglin, if you don't burn it, it will be too late. This Li Zhuowu must have come here for the Donglin Hall."

"Let's go out to meet him first, after all, he is a Fuyuan."

"As for the burning of Donglin Hall, let me play by ear."

Gu Xiancheng replied.

Wu Jiong and others couldn't help looking at each other.

At that time, Gu Xiancheng had already come out first, and the others had no choice but to follow.

After seeing Li Zhi, Gu Xiancheng hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I don't know if the Fuyuan came to the humble house suddenly, what's the matter?"

"The school received an urgent order from the imperial court to ensure that the Donglin Hall was intact before being transformed into Donglin Academy, so we first came to ask Mr. Gu, would you like to donate the Donglin Hall to help the imperial court's education?"

Li Zhi replied.
