Chapter 204: Fanfare
There are policies above, and there are countermeasures below.
Li Er's policy was that Chen Chu had to sell meat, and the price should not be too high.
And Chen Chu's countermeasure is that it is okay to sell meat, the price is not high, but the supply must be limited.
As for the other meat, he asked Cheng Chubi to quietly take it to the black market and sell it at a high price.
After coming and going, Chen Chu earned about the same as previously predicted.
Cheng Yanjin followed Chen Chu and also made a lot of money.
Chen Chu originally thought that since this matter was known to Li Er, he would definitely come to Xingshi to ask about the crime, who would have thought that after many days, there would be no movement in the palace.
He was a little puzzled.
So he asked Cheng Yanjin about the situation in the palace.
Cheng Yanjin said: "Somehow, that day, after Your Majesty heard that you had a policy and a countermeasure, he suddenly left without saying a word, and after going back, he also summoned the eldest grandson Wuji and these people to the Ganlu Palace, and I don't know what I said, since that day, Your Majesty's expression has been a little wrong, and I don't know what happened." However, it must have something to do with your statement. ”
Chen Chu shook his head: "Fourth brother, you are wrong, my father behaved like this, it has nothing to do with me, what I said is nonsense, my father must have encountered other troubles......"
Chen Chu didn't think that his nonsense would make Li Er so dignified.
Something big must have happened.
……
Temple of Manna.
A third of the court's ministers arrived.
Li Er also made people fill the case.
Each minister, sitting on the ground, has a desk in front of him.
The ministers who were summoned in a hurry were all confused and didn't know why.
Seeing this scene again, my heart is even more uneasy, it seems that I am not going to have a banquet, it seems that I am going to take an exam?
No one can tell.
Everyone was a little anxious.
At this time, Li Eryi waved his hand, and the eunuchs hurriedly took out the paper and distributed it.
A piece of paper appeared in front of each minister.
What is written on the paper is: there is a policy above, and there is a countermeasure below.
What does this mean?
Ministers, look at me, I'll look at you.
I haven't come back to my senses yet.
At this time, I saw Li Er stand up and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this sentence in front of you is what my famous genius Chen Chu of the Tang Dynasty said, there are policies, there are countermeasures, a simple sentence, but it makes me ponder for several days, the text is simple, it seems to be superficial, but the truth contained in it is infinite, I have thought about it for a long time, and I only want to come up with one or two, I called you here today to discuss it with you, the truth of this, you can take a look at it first, think about it, and then discuss it well." ”
Everyone suddenly realized.
It turned out that I came to understand this sentence.
That's easy!
Those present were all scholars, and there were many scholars of the scriptures.
The so-called scholars of the scriptures are those who interpret all kinds of scriptures.
For example, Confucius said one word: "Wonderful! ”
These people can explain 120 meanings, and even go to the birthplace of Confucius's ancestors.
In short, this is what everyone is good at.
Everyone picked up the paper in front of them, began to shake their heads and read them a few times, and then took out their pencils one by one and began to write and draw.
With so many important ministers in the DPRK and the central government, they comprehended this sentence together, and the scene was still a bit spectacular.
Half an hour later.
Kong Yingda took the lead in standing up and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, Chen Chu is worthy of being a genius boy in my Tang Dynasty, these words seem to be vulgar, but the philosophy in them is endless, and the ministers carefully refer to it, and it can be understood from three aspects, first, this word can be described as the meaning of the emperor, that is to say, the emperor is mandated by heaven to educate the people, and the emperor's orders and decrees, once promulgated, everyone in the world must find a way to implement them, so that they can work together and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and second, the above can be understood as the meaning of heaven...... Third, it can be understood as antiquity, that is, when the royal road of Yao Shunyu soup prevailed......"
When everyone heard this, they were all impressed.
"Master Confucius is worthy of being a master of scripture, and he can say three meanings, let me admire him!"
"Admire!"
Kong Yingda stroked his beard and sat down proudly.
Li Er pondered for a long time, but did not speak.
It is true that what Kong Yingda said is very reasonable.
But not the answer he wanted.
I saw a few well-known ministers stand up again, and explain to them.
Li Er was still not satisfied.
Then, Wei Zheng stood up suddenly, glanced at everyone with disdain, and said: "What you have said makes sense, but it is inevitably far-fetched, and it is ......useless for the country and the people, and for the society of the Tang Dynasty."
The ministers were immediately unhappy.
In their opinion, these people themselves, interpreting the classics, that is professional.
And Wei Zheng, scolding talents is professional.
"Lord Wei, it is very difficult to learn this sentence, you must have profound knowledge, why do you say that our explanation is useless for the country and the people...... Just like I said just now, this word can be interpreted as both heaven and the ancient royal road prevailing, these are all to warn His Majesty to educate the people well, why is it useless...... If Lord Wei has any lofty opinions, you might as well say that I will listen to ......" A Wenchen, who has always been bold, said directly to Wei Zheng.
The others nodded their heads and offered to help.
Wei Zheng is an old man, how can he care about this.
I saw him bow down and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this sentence just shows that Chen Chu has seen through the corpse vegetarian meal, hypocrisy and grievances, and corruption of officialdom in my Tang Dynasty officialdom at a glance......
What?
Wei Zheng was simply speechless.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he stunned everyone.
Wait for everyone to come to their senses.
The Wenchen shook their heads and sneered, thinking that Wei Zheng was wrong to explain.
Li Er looked at Wei Zheng with interest.
Wei Zheng saw that Li Er did not object, so he said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this sentence can be interpreted in this way, that is, whether it is His Majesty's edict or the decree of the imperial court, the original intention is to govern the world, educate the people of the world, and make the people live and work in peace and contentment, but ...... After these decrees are issued in various places, officials with moral integrity and good deeds will of course do things conscientiously in accordance with the decrees, but those officials who are corrupt and have no pity for the people will come up with all kinds of countermeasures to prevaricate and perfunctory...... The minister has served as the imperial historian for many years, and has investigated and dealt with countless corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but he knows best, not to mention anything else, just say that a decree of the imperial court requires water conservancy to be built in various places, but why there are droughts and floods every year, the reason is nothing more than that these officials regard the imperial decree as child's play, pretend to send some craftsmen to clean up the canals, build some pools, improve part of the river, and finally, the drought is still a drought, and the flood is still a flood......
Wei Zheng gushed endlessly.
The more Li Er listened, the more frightened he became, but his eyes lit up more and more.
The ministers despised Wei Zheng at the beginning.
But later, they felt more and more that something was wrong.
What Wei Zheng said seems to make a lot of sense.
