Chapter 3 The Trouble of the Lord
Although these eunuchs are very obedient in front of Zhu Youxiao on weekdays, he knows that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. These eunuchs fought, and they were also very ruthless.
Checks and balances are very important, and in this world, there is no one who does not want to deceive the emperor, even loyal eunuchs.
Zhu Youxiao knew that he had to favor a person, let this person become a target, and subdue some people, this person was Wang An, first, because Wang An's character was good, and secondly, because he wanted to be a calm minister.
The system of the Ming Dynasty was divided into internal and external ministers, and Wang An is now the eunuch in charge of the seal, usually known as the internal minister.
At this time, Wei Zhongxian was stunned when he heard Zhu Youxiao's words, Kebaba is sick? How did you not know? Besides, I don't know any medical skills, how can I treat Kebaba?
But in a flash of effort, Wei Zhongxian was suddenly frightened, and a thought in his heart that he felt terrible, his whole body trembled, it couldn't really be what he thought, right?
Wei Zhongxian instantly broke out in cold sweat all over his body, and his body was soaked. How so? He licked his dry lips, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, raised his head and said, "Emperor, the slave is not good at medicine!" ”
"Oh?" Zhu Youxiao picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, a curious look flashed on his face, as if he had heard something extremely funny: "Does anyone dare to deceive me?" As he spoke, he put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Wei Zhongxian with a smile.
Feeling the burning gaze above his head, Wei Zhongxian's heart was tormented. Because Kebaba is his opponent, but also because of the emperor's attitude change.
You know, the original emperor valued her very much, and he had to go to congratulate her in person during the New Year's holidays, treat Baba to dinner, and when he first ascended the throne, the weather was unbearable and he also built a shed for her to send ice cubes, and he could also surpass the ministers, and enter and exit the palace in a sedan chair, but now, ......
Wei Zhongxian's body trembled, and he felt that his body was cold, cold to the bone marrow. His body trembled more and more, and in Wei Zhongxian's opinion, something big was going to happen.
People say that a companion is like a tiger, Wei Zhongxian didn't think it before, but at this moment, Wei Zhongxian seemed to be taken out of the ice water.
After a while, Wei Zhongxian gritted his teeth, bowed his head and said, "Back to the emperor, although the slave is not good at medical skills, she still knows a little about folk medicine, and she is willing to go and show Mrs. Fengsheng." ”
Zhu Youxiao's face was still indifferent, he waved his hand, and said as if unintentionally: "Then go!" ”
In addition to the warm pavilion, Wei Zhongxian was blown by the cold wind, and he shivered directly, his body shook, and he almost fell to the ground, his lips trembled, his body was paralyzed, and he couldn't hold his urine.
Leaning on the pillar for a long time, Wei Zhongxian took a breath, the emperor's words Wei Zhongxian understood, let a person who can't see a doctor go to see a doctor, so what is the result?
Naturally, the patient is directly seen to death! The emperor wants to die!
Thinking of this, Wei Zhongxian shuddered again, and his whole body shuddered.
And what about yourself? Do you have a choice?
The answer is no. If you don't do it, then it's yourself who dies; If you do it yourself, then the two results, the emperor will be rewarded for his official duties, and he will soar; Or, become a scapegoat and be directly ordered to die by the emperor.
Wei Zhongxian's face flickered, but he knew that this matter had to be done.
After Wei Zhongxian left, Zhu Youxiao reached out and took out a book from the hidden compartment under the table and read it. This is a book newly found by Zhu Youxiao.
What does Zhu Youxiao see? The answer is very simple, that is "Han Feizi", which he inadvertently turned over.
At this moment, Zhu Youxiao finally understood why Qin Shihuang liked Han Fei. The one he is reading now is called "Binnai", and it is about the emperor.
Han Feizi Bei Nei said: The trouble of the master lies in believing in people, and believing in people is controlled by people.
What does this mean? The scourge of the monarch is to believe in others. If you believe in others, you will be controlled by others.
This passage dissects the emperor's ruthlessness even colder, that is, as an emperor, you can't trust anyone. In order to support his arguments, Han Feizi also discussed them from several aspects.
First of all, the first thing he said was the courtiers, Han Feizi said, "People are subordinate to their kings, not relatives of flesh and blood, and they are bound by power and have to do things." Therefore, those who are ministers can spy on their king's heart, and there is no need to rest, and the lord is arrogant, so there is a robbery of the king and killing the lord in this world. ”
The meaning of this passage is very simple, that is, the courtier has no flesh and blood relatives to the monarch, but is forced to serve by power. Therefore, as a courtier, he sped on the intention of the monarch and did not stop for a while, but the monarch was slack and arrogant in the upper position, which is the reason why there are cases of abduction and killing of monarchs in the world.
Although in the Ming Dynasty, there are fewer cases of abducting and killing emperors in the open and righteous, but there are many stories behind this, and they have not changed since ancient times.
In addition to the courtiers, Han Feizi also discussed the son and wife, Han Feizi said, "If you are the master and believe in your son, then the traitor has to take advantage of the son to become his own selfishness, so Li Dui passed on the king of Zhao and starved the master's father." If he is the master and believes in his wife, the traitor can take advantage of his wife to become his own selfishness, so you Shi passed on Liji to kill Shen Sheng and set up Xi Qi. If the husband is not trustworthy because of the proximity of his wife and the kinship of his son, then there is no one who can be trusted. ”
As a monarch and believing in his son very much, traitors can use his son to realize their own selfish interests, so Li Dui assisted Zhao Ren and finally starved his father to death; As a monarch and believing in his wife very much, traitors can use his wife to achieve their own selfish interests, so Yushi helps Liji kill the crown prince Shensheng and establish Xi Qi instead. Even those who are as close as wives and sons cannot be trusted, and the rest have nothing to believe.
Zhu Youxiao looked at this passage, and the first one was put on the head of the Donglin Party, and they won the trust of the emperor with big words, so as to achieve their own goals.
If they are rejected by the emperor, then they will find the prince, and these people can basically be defined as traitors in Han Feizi's mouth.
"Thousands of years of truth!" Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand and picked up the "Beinei" again, and sighed: "Sure enough, the wisdom of the ancestors is infinite, and this "Beinei" does make people feel empowered, but it is very different from Confucianism and etiquette, the art of the emperor!" ”
If the emperor handed over by the Legalist "Han Feizi", I am afraid that it will be difficult to be bewitched by Confucianism, right? The emperors of the Ming Dynasty were fooled and stupid.
After a while, Zhu Youxiao put down the "Han Feizi" in his hand, took a sip of the teacup, then stood up and moved his muscles and bones, and then said: "Chen Hong! ”
"The slave is here." Chen Hong, who was guarding the door, was wondering why Wei Zhongxian seemed to be a decade old when he left.
