Chapter 434: The Dispute of the Three Antis (II)

The atmosphere in the Fengtian Temple was extremely solemn.

As for Huang Guan, who was pointed at by Xu Buji, he was already trembling all over, and dense sweat started from the corners of his forehead and flowed down his cheeks all the way to his neck, soaking the entire placket.

Take a look at the two hats that Xu Buji buttoned for him.

Political opportunism and political revisionism!

These two words, all the officials who are qualified to participate in the court meeting will not be unfamiliar, because after so many years, the big guy has been familiar with the "Jianwen Canon", and the "Political Chapter" in the "Jianwen Canon" includes an article called "The Change of Xunmeng in the Year of Shenzong", this article tells the story of the political game between the reformists led by Wang Anshi and the conservative faction led by Sima Guang during the reform process presided over by Wang Anshi during the period of Shenzong in the Northern Song Dynasty.

In this article, Zhu Yunwen, the Jianwen Emperor, made a commentary, defining Wang Anshi as political opportunism and Sima Guang as political revisionism.

It is so stated in the annotations.

"As an official and in governance, you can't just look at power with your eyes, and put all your energy into studying how to grab political dividends and opportunistic tricks, and engaging in politics is not about starving for three days without eating, and you have to try your best to stuff chickens, ducks, and fish meat into your stomach if you want to kill yourself.

In the course of our political career, those who are blindly concerned about opportunism and think of exchanging great power for small tricks should be promptly deposed and taken as a warning after we discover them.

Wang Jinggong was an outstanding, attained and capable scholar, even if he could not meet each other in person, I had been friends for a long time, but in order to seize personal power and realize his personal political ambitions, he proudly proclaimed that 'the changes of the sky are not enough to fear, the words of people are not enough to be compassionate, and the laws of the ancestors are not enough to be observed', and ideologically reached a political tacit agreement with the Song Shenzong, who was eager to seize power and abolish the institutional constraints of 'the Son of Heaven and the scholars share the world', so as to rise to the top.

After presiding over the reform of the law, he held up the political banner of 'restoring the Zhou rites', ignoring the changes of the times for 2,000 years, singing the high profile of the patriarchal system and ethics, engaging in political exclusion, and engaging in the party to fight against differences.

In order to achieve results, in the absence of a legal foundation, a legal power foundation, and a legal foundation, it forcibly promoted new policies such as the Qingmiao Law and the Municipal Reform Law, in an attempt to solve the state's financial problems.

Although the state's finances have improved, its political goal of 'the people do not give more money but the state uses sparing' has not been achieved, and the people's strength has been exhausted, and the blow of curbing local annexation has also become the cause of the struggle between the local landlord class and the yeoman peasants.

If there is political opportunism, we should face each other coldly and resolutely not go along with the same stream.

Even more hateful than political opportunism is political revisionism.

This group of people not only cannot become our colleagues, but also our enemies, this group of people have no political bottom line, political position, engage in duplicity, often this group of people also like to be full of morality, benevolence, hypocrisy and humility.

Wherever they like to go, they carry the disguise of a loyal and forgiving gentleman who serves the country, the people, the country and the society, and in fact everything they do is to cause sabotage.

For officials and politicians, right is right, and wrong is wrong. Corruption is corruption, and honesty is integrity, which is also opposite and incompatible.

How can there be such a ridiculous and generous definition as 'as long as the corruption is not ruthless, it belongs to the generalized and honest government', let alone the completely ideologically distorted paradox that 'those who have made great contributions to the opposition should be exempted from punishment as long as the mistakes they have committed are not great, and they should not be overcorrected, so as not to hurt the work enthusiasm of more officials'.

There is a reward system for meritorious service, and there is naturally a punishment system for making mistakes, so how can there be a reason for not punishing one's guilt as a reward?

Shouting the rule of law but opposing the rule of law, and shouting for the country but opposing the state is revisionism.

Sima Guang and other old-fashioned factions are full of the ancestral system, the country, the society, and the people, but for the sake of their own private rights and interests, they oppose the country and the society, obstruct the reform of the law, sabotage the change of the law, and even openly oppose the change of the law, and incite the gate lords and landlords under their command to turn the localities into a miasma of smoke and wantonly destroy the country's Taoism and legal principles, so that the center is in serious political internal friction, and the localities are even more chaotic, which is a typical revisionist ideology. ”

In the annotation of the article "The Changes of Xun Meng in the Year of Emperor Shenzong", Zhu Yunwen interpreted opportunism and revisionism, and expressed his attitude.

That is, to hate opportunism and to hate revisionism.

Either one is not a good review.

If it is only the former, it is relatively easy to accept, after all, it is at most a fate of losing his official position and being deposed as the people, but if it is the latter, Huang Guan will have a chill on his neck.

It's going to be a head-off!

Nervousness, fear, anger and anger filled Huang Guan's brain and heart, and he stammered as a result, completely losing his ability to think and organize language.

When Zhu Yunwen's eyes fell on him, Huang Guan knelt on the ground with a puff and cried with all his life's strength.

"The minister is wronged!"

At this moment, Huang Zhuangyuan, who is rich in five cars and eight years old, the only thing he can say is such a shallow injustice.

Zhu Yunwen only thought about letting Xu Buji cure Huang Guan's brainless little problem, but he never thought that Xu Buji's three or two sentences could force Huang Guan to a dead end!

If he, the emperor, spoke at this time, then Huang Guan's only fate would be the result of a cane outside the palace.

There was no way, Zhu Yunwen had no choice but to look at Yang Shiqi, who realized in his heart and stood up.

"Ahem."

This light cough is undoubtedly like a fairy sound for Huang Guan.

Yang Shiqi shook out his hands in the sleeves of his robe, left the train and said after giving Zhu Yunwen a shallow salute.

"Your Majesty, the achievements of Sichuan today depend on the local officials in Sichuan. The reason why the local officials in Sichuan were able to make this achievement was because of the several anthologies compiled by His Majesty's holy words.

In this regard, there is no doubt that the sages were from thousands of years ago, and the books they left behind were also used to govern the countries that belonged to their time thousands of years ago.

The sages never said or wrote in their books that they wanted future generations to continue to follow their ideas to govern the country, so the controversy between Xu Butang and Huang Butang today is purely a gratuitous dispute.

If the sages had eyes, they might laugh at the immature argument between the two ministers. ”

Yang Shiqi's jokes made everyone happy.

That's right, the sages didn't ask the descendants to do what they had to do, let alone let everyone hold their books to govern the country, because the sages themselves knew that an era should have an era-specific method of governing the country, and future generations would not be stupid to not even know this truth, right?

Maybe the sages themselves didn't expect that his descendants and disciples could still lead the war all day long, and their ancestors were still scolded after thousands of years of death, and they were dragged out and whipped out of the corpse if they had nothing to do, were the sages wronged?

"Adapting measures to the conditions of the time and seeking truth from facts is the basic principle of governing for officials, so what's there to quarrel about this?"

Yang Shiqi turned his head to look at Huang Guan and criticized: "Huang Butang's talent is really unreasonable, Sichuan's achievements should be recognized, Kuang Yihe and others can change their thinking in time, and rationally use the theory and ideological spirit that is more suitable for the moment, which is even more important for everyone to learn from."

You can't be competitive and aggressive for this, you have to find out the faults of others, you have to see more and learn more from the advantages of others, instead of finding faults and picking thorns. ”

After criticizing Huang Guan, Yang Shiqi followed and said Xu Buji.

"Xu Butang just said very well, Sichuan officials are speaking with achievements this time, to prove the correctness of His Majesty's original national policy of changing the way of collecting materials, and fully show that even if the officials who do not study the Four Books and Five Classics and Cheng Zhu Lixue are also capable of being good officials.

Therefore, we should encourage more officials to learn from Sichuan, but we must also retain the right to read books. It can't be said that the Four Books and Five Classics and Cheng Zhu Lixue are not as good as the "Jianwen Canon" in terms of being officials, and they are even qualified to let people read it, which is unreasonable.

The official is a humble talent, and he is only able to occupy the position of a scholar in the Fengtian Temple, and he is sincerely afraid of it, so he reads books alone to cultivate his own knowledge. Leisure magazines, customs, etc. occasionally dabbled, so I wanted to look at it and increase some knowledge, and there was no way to govern the country in these books, so it was difficult to give it all the opposite.

Huang Butang was narrow-minded and ignorant for a while, and there were gaffes in his words, entirely because his knowledge and ideology still needed to be learned, and everyone was an official of the same dynasty, so he still needed more help, so he echoed His Majesty's remark that 'officials of the whole country should work together to achieve a national game of chess at a political level'. ”

Eighty boards on both sides, it seems that Yang Shiqi is stirring, but every sentence has a reason, and the two of them can't help but be unconvinced, especially the early characterization of the dispute between the two as a 'gratuitous dispute' caused by narrow prejudice is a big matter.

The fault must be on Huang Guan, but it's not a big crime of killing his head, or he is narrow-minded.

Everyone is an official in the same dynasty, and in this kind of matter, we should criticize and persuade more, instead of wanting to cut off our heads directly after eliminating evil.

At this point, if Huang Guan still doesn't understand, then he really deserves to die.

Huang Guan first kowtowed to Zhu Yunwen: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, the minister is ignorant for a while, and his bad words seriously hurt his colleagues, and I beg Your Majesty to confess." ”

After confessing his sin, he looked at Xu Buji pitifully and said sincerely.

"Xu Butang, the last talent is ugly, narrow-minded and selfish, which makes the ministry laugh."

Xu Buji had no choice but to dodge, Huang Guan was kneeling now, although he didn't have to kneel back, but he didn't dare to bear it.

had to hide sideways and said warmly: "Huang Butang is serious, and I am also inappropriate in terms of suitable talents." ”

The two reconciled, and they were both happy.

Zhu Yunwen finally put his mind at ease, and set the tone for this matter.

"Huang Guan seriously injured his colleagues because of his personal stupidity and prejudice, so he was beaten with a court rod for 30 years, fined for one year, and sent him back to his home to close his door for a month, study hard, and the work of the Ministry of Education was temporarily handled by Zuo Shilang."

Huang Guan was like being amnesty, and he kowtowed with joy and tears.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After that, he was honestly dragged out and spanked by two Han generals.

Thirty rods and a fine of one year.

It can be regarded as a double punishment from the physiology and the waist bag, and it is not light to pay such a price for a false statement.

A so-called three-anti political controversy has come to an end.
