Zhu Houxi saw that people were silent for a long time, and he didn't care, so he smiled and said to Wang Yue: "What do you think, let's talk about it too?" ”

Wang Yue was serious, "The minister doesn't know who is the biggest, so he can't solve His Majesty's doubts...... But the minister knows that a man does not walk without a head, and a bird does not fly without a head. In the huge world, there must be a norm, and this norm must have a supreme norm, and the rules can be placed there, so that the people can win the trust of the people and let the big guys have something to follow. It's okay to argue, but it's not okay to mess around. Over the years, the ministers have heard a lot of voices in the court. Some people oppose the implementation of the government with the principles of sages, some talk about the law of the ancestors, and some talk about the people's livelihood and diseases...... It's all very good, but I can't find the most important one, and I think that by taking this opportunity, the sages are all over, and the crown is gathered, and it is definitely a good thing to be able to come up with a result, which is definitely a good thing for governing the world in the future. ”

Zhu Houxi smiled on his face, and Xiao Fugui broke everything he wanted to say.

In a word, to put it bluntly, it is who is the boss!

It took so much effort to gather people from all over the world to come outside the border, isn't it just to do things?

If I can't understand even the most fundamental things, I won't be too wasteful.

Zhu Houxi smiled and groaned, "Rank ministers, I want to listen to you, but I don't want to listen to empty words." I might as well explain the matter, I don't want you to say that the Son of Heaven is sage, with the Heavenly Constitution in his mouth, and everything like that...... I also know that not all of my Ming sons are wise. Taizu Taizong, although impeccable, is a rare holy monarch throughout the ages, but the rest of the sons of heaven are either too weak, or absurd and perverse, or lazy and lazy, so that the Ming Dynasty is declining, the world is chaotic, the four directions are disturbed, and the people's livelihood is difficult, everyone knows it. You must pay attention to the society of the country and the world, speak freely, and listen to you! ”

Zhu Houxi sang and harmonized with Wang Yue, constantly coercing the courtiers, and there was not much room left for the big guys.

How to answer and how to answer?

If you don't come up with something real, it's not going to work.

In the silence, among the ministers, stood a resolute-faced man.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that as Your Majesty said, the Son of Heaven will inevitably have negligence, so he should respect the holy way, and use Confucius and Mencius to govern the country in accordance with Confucian principles, so that they can be stable for a long time and complement each other!"

The person who spoke was none other than Xia Yan.

This is a capable minister who is outspoken and good at doing things, although he is not close to Wang Yue, but in Zhu Houxi, he is also looked at differently.

"Xia Yan, I just said that the Son of Heaven may not all be virtuous, so can the way of Confucius and Mencius be complete? Can the sages be invincible? ”

Zhu Houxi paused and added: "I said, I don't mean to blame, I just ask for advice, I want to ask you, is this sage doctrine all-encompassing and can solve all problems?" ”

Xia Yan is bold and daring, he has always had nothing to fear, but in the face of this problem, he also seems powerless, of course the sage is good, but can the sage be invincible?

"Your Majesty, let Lao Chen say a few words." Yang Yiqing suddenly spoke, and at this moment, everyone's eyes fell on this Yang Ge Lao, who had been in the prime minister for fifty years and was very important, and wanted to listen to his high opinions.

"Your Majesty, the old minister said something excessive, Sage Kong, Sage Meng, have never been high-ranking officials in their lives, nor have they governed the world. Although their principles are excellent for self-cultivation, they can be used to govern the country, but they are worth scrutinizing! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Qian said in a deep voice: "Elder Yang Ge, the sage is born to know, whether it is self-cultivation and governing the country, the way of Confucius and Mencius, it is a first-class knowledge. ”

"Wrong!"

Wang Yue spoke, "Elder Xie Ge, although I am not as knowledgeable as you in my later life, I also know that the master said that he is determined to learn at the age of fifteen, and when he is seventy years old, he can do what he wants. Besides, if the master asks Lao Tzu for advice, is it false? ”

Xie Qian said in a deep voice: "Lord Wang, the master has the heart to learn, and this is what the sages do. Isn't it right for us to worship the teachings created by the sages? ”

"Of course not!" Wang Yue refuted: "Since the teachings of the sages are learned, it means that the teachings of the sages are not omnipotent, and the learning of Confucianism is incomplete...... The sages of Confucius and Mencius just studied their knowledge during their lifetime and passed it on to the disciples. Let's ask Confucius, or Mengfuzi, do they know the Qin and Han dynasties? Do you know the Tang and Song dynasties, and do you know my Ming Dynasty? ”

Xia Yan said again: "Uncle Fuyuan, you are a strong word, although the sage can't know the learning of the next generation, but the sage's knowledge is the supreme reason of heaven and earth." As long as you study the science of the sages, you can naturally know the way of rise and fall. ”

Wang Yue laughed, "Lord Xia said well, you just said that you want to study the way of the sage, how many people in the world can settle down, painstakingly search, and explore the way of the sage?" Does it still depend on the exposition of Confucianism, and finally become the largest Confucian? After all, how to explain and explain, it seems that there is a lot of knowledge in this! ”

"This ......" Xia Yan has been forced to be embarrassed, but he is still unwilling to admit defeat, "So this is a pro-virtuous minister, far from the villain." The Son of Heaven must have the wisdom to know people, the courtiers must be loyal to the court, the monarch and the ministers are one, and the upper and lower levels are one, and the world will naturally be governed! ”

When many ministers in the court heard this, they almost applauded Xia Yan, great, and finally came back to Yuan.

In any case, you can't admit defeat, otherwise it's really over.

It's just that these people didn't expect that Zhu Houxi actually spoke quietly, "It is my mission to select talents and promote ability. But how much ability do I have to select thousands of people to govern the world? How many people can I do? Ten people, a hundred, or a thousand? I'm afraid you can't, as long as you have the guts, just a few people, don't fool me. ”

"Don't dare!"

In an instant, all the adults fell to their knees.

Including the martial artists who have been blindfolded, people kneel, they also kneel, I don't know what's going on, just kneel honestly! Anyway, today's limelight is so wrong, who knows which one Your Majesty is singing!

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have spoken, I don't mean to blame you, let's just chat openly and honestly. Let's just say that he assassinated Wang Yue this time, did he really run to Chengde to kill people with his blood? How did he get to Chengde alone? Also, where did his crossbow arrows come from? If he doesn't know, doesn't anyone know? I can lift the prison, investigate thoroughly, and kill a river of blood and a rolling head! ”

"But I didn't do it, and Uncle Fu didn't mean it. We now want to ask the princes, what is the biggest? As the Son of Heaven, I also want to know, what should I put in the first place? Is it people's livelihood? Is it a dragon chair? Is it the Zhu family, or is it Confucius, Mencius, and Taoism? ”

Zhu Houxi's voice became higher and higher, and the whole person became more and more sacred, and a circle of light was about to emerge on his body.

"I'm so heartfelt, all I want to hear is everyone's truth, don't you even want to tell the truth?"

At this point, the courtiers were almost in the corner, and there was no way to retreat, and one of them suddenly burst into tears and fell to his knees.

Zhang Fujing!

He stood up!

"Your Majesty, I think what Zhao Pu said, among the world, the truth is the greatest, and it still makes sense! It's just that this truth can't be the truth of one family, nor can it be the truth of sages! ”

"What should that be?" Zhu Houxi asked.

"It should be in line with the principles of heaven and people's hearts, and be accepted and recognized by everyone!"

Zhu Houxi nodded, "It's reasonable, but how can we make everyone accept it?" Fu Yuanbo has already said that if this truth is just a general thing of the Tao of Confucius and Mencius, won't it still fall into the hands of Confucianism? ”

"I think it should be written plainly!" Zhang Xuan gritted his teeth and said: "Not only to write it, but also to make it clear to the world, tell all the people, and let them all know." ”

Wang Yue asked again, "Do you just know?" Can writing be done behind closed doors? ”

Zhang Xuan said: "Naturally, we want to learn from others and absorb the words of hundreds of schools!" ”

Wang Yue smiled and said, "Elder Zhang Ge, you say that, but it goes against the teachings of the sage!" The saint did not say that the people could use it, but they could not know it. If the people knew the law of the country, wouldn't they find a way to take advantage of the loopholes? ”

"This ...... This student thinks that it should be a courtier's business, and since he is a courtier, he should act according to the rules! ”

Zhu Houxi suddenly said faintly: "Is it just a courtier?" What about me? Do you use it and obey the rules? ”
