The next day, the court meeting

When the ministers entered the court, Wang Fu continued the previous style, swaggered into the palace, some proudly faced the angry eyes of the ministers, walked to the ministers, the courtiers around him all invariably distanced themselves from Wang Fu, in the face of the hateful gaze of the officials, Wang Fu was extremely calm, and even a little complacent.

It was only Zhang He, who smiled and nodded with him.

An important minister whispered beside him: "Why is this guy not dead yet!" I heard that he encountered assassins dozens of times in Yangzhou, and he was personally protected by more than a dozen doormen in and out, so I thought he wouldn't be able to reach Luoyang alive! ”

When Wang Fu heard this, he shook his head helplessly and said, "There is no hero in the big man, and there is no assassin who can take my good head, it's a pity!" These words made those important ministers around him grit their teeth with hatred, they didn't wait too long, the little fat man with a black face walked into the court meeting angrily, sat down, and didn't even glance in the direction where Wang Fu was.

The ministers stood up and bowed.

After the salute, Yuan Ping couldn't wait to jump out and saluted and shouted, "Your Majesty! There is a play! ”

The little fat man looked at him, nodded, and motioned for him to speak, Yuan Ping pointed to the king Fu in the crowd, and scolded: "This person has just entered the court, and he is not able to walk, but to walk in slowly, His Majesty has never given him the privilege of entering the court, this is that he despises the king, is proud of his talents, and has no king's nature, this person has no virtue and steals two thousand stones, and I and other ministers all despise this person in the same ranks!" ”

"I hope that Your Majesty will distinguish between treachery and evil, please cook the king's festival letter!!"

On weekdays, this is all as a process, and the little fat man usually nods and says, "I know", but today, for some reason, the little fat man was silent for a moment, and the ministers were a little puzzled, and they were about to step forward to continue to participate, but the Son of Heaven spoke.

"What Yuan Jun said is reasonable! Where is Wang Yun? ”

Tingwei was originally Zhang Jian, and then he was replaced by Wang Yun, but at that time Wang Yun's biological father died, so he could only resign and go home, Zhang Jian had to serve again, and then Yangqiu served, and in the end, Wang Yun's filial piety period ended, returned to Luoyang, and replaced Yangqiu as Tingwei, and Yangqiu went to Xinzhou, serving as the state assassin history, Wang Yun had just taken office, and when he heard the call of the Son of Heaven, he immediately got up and walked to the center of the hall.

"The minister is here!"

After the ministers were stunned, they were extremely excited, excited and almost cried, the sky has eyes, Your Majesty finally realized the treachery of this guy, this is a great fortune for the people of the world, everyone looked at the Son of Heaven with great anticipation, only to hear the Son of Heaven say: "You find a big tripod for me!" ”

"I want the kind of Dading that can cook people!"

Wang Yun was stunned, his expression was a little dazed, Wang Fu among the ministers was still calm, without the slightest panic and panic, the Son of Heaven glanced at him, saw him so calm, his heart was even more furious, and he was about to ask Wang Yun to put Wang Fu in prison, He Xiu saw that things were gradually getting bigger, so he cleared his throat and coughed a few times to remind this pair of foolish monarchs and ministers.

Hearing He Xiu's cough, the little fat man calmed down, he can't kill yet, Yangzhou is still rectifying, reform is still ongoing, if you say kill this guy at this time, reform everything, no one will preside over it, calm down, calm down, there is always a chance for me to take revenge!

The little fat man calmed down and said, "Forget it, you go back first!" ”

Wang Yun lowered his head and slowly retreated to his position, and the ministers looked at the things that were going smoothly and were destroyed by He Xiu so much, and couldn't help but look at He Shi with some resentment, this guy is angry, why do you want to protect him? Yuan Ping was about to play, but the little fat man directly waved him down, and he also sighed helplessly.

What a good opportunity, I almost got rid of the thieves for the country, but it's a pity!

Different from everyone's melancholy, Wang Fu looked at them a little proudly, raised his eyebrows provocatively, and the angry Yuan Ping almost rushed over to beat him, Wang Fu saw that everyone was silent, so he got up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a play!" ”

The little fat man looked at him, his eyes were extremely complicated, he stared at Wang Fu, hesitated for a moment, and a few flashes of killing intent flashed in his eyes, before he said, "Say it!" Only then did Wang Fu speak: "The ministers and Yangzhou practice the meritorious system, the entire Yangzhou is completely a new system of officials, most of them are born in Taixue, through the assessment of the ministers, and then appointed and dismissed as officials, with great results!" ”

"With one year, Yangzhou has been on a par with the Central Plains, and within three years, Yangzhou will definitely become the most important grain producing place in the Han Dynasty!"

"If the Han Dynasty changes to the new system and attaches importance to the rule of officials, it will definitely benefit the people, so that the temple will no longer be occupied by these mediocre people!" Wang Fu said pointedly.

"No!" No one thought that at this time, it was He Xiu who came forward first to oppose Wang Fu's performance, and everyone was also a little puzzled, since you don't agree with his political opinions, why do you want to shelter him everywhere? Wouldn't it be nice to just let the Son of Heaven cook him? He Xiu slowly got up and walked to Wang Fu's side, Wang Fu was still a little jealous of him.

Seeing him coming, he took a few steps back, in the temple, the only one who can scare this plague monarch is He Shi, even the Son of Heaven can't let him be afraid, he also complained in his heart, he originally wanted to play, and asked His Majesty to suppress the Ram School, otherwise it is easy to breed trouble, but this old thief does not die for a day, and he will not dare to play for a day, so he can only hope that he will leave the temple as soon as possible!

He Xiu frowned, and said solemnly: "Since Mintun, after the implementation of the science and technology system in the official school, the officials in various places are not virtuous enough, and they are corrupt and bribery, which makes the officials chaotic and the people suffer. ”

Wang Fu said with some disdain: "I didn't behave like this in Yangzhou, why?" Because I know how to use the criminal law, if the punishment of corrupt officials is dealt with severely, and then the use of heavy money to support the honest is enough to reduce this kind of atmosphere, and if there are more capable ministers in the world, the benefits are greater than the disadvantages caused by corruption, let these mediocre gentlemen with noble character serve as officials in various places, do the Han officials want to show their private virtues, or do they want to govern the localities? ”

"This is absurd, if there is no private morality, how can the place be governed?"

"There are many talented people, and only those who have both ability and political integrity can achieve great things!" Some ministers argued.

"Hey, you are such a mediocre talent, without talent or virtue, you can stand in the temple, it can be seen that what you said is also unreasonable!" Wang Fu said indifferently, but the minister's whole body trembled.

"If you set up a pension fund and evaluate the officials of the world, do you know how much money it will cost the national treasury? The treasury is empty, where does the money come from? ”

Although his direction was a little wrong, but seeing that he could oppose Wang Fu, the ministers of the court also agreed with his words very much, and when he heard his words, Wang Fu said: "Where does the treasury come from, taxes!" If you are able to be in charge, what about the taxes of a state? Just like Yangzhou, when I never went, the tax could be 50% of what it is now? ”

Hearing the attack, he stopped abruptly, thought for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he looked like he had suddenly realized.

Zizhang asked Confucius about benevolence, and Confucius said: Those who can do five things in the world are benevolent. , I asked, I said: "Gong, Kuan, Xin, Min, Hui, the five virtues are not complete, what is a person, what is a gentleman, what is an official?" You are also a Confucian who is familiar with poetry and books, don't you know this truth? Yuan Feng said.

"Oh, Zigong said: If you can help the people by giving to the people, what is it? Can it be described as benevolent? Zi said: Whatever is benevolent, it will also be holy! Yao Shun is still sick! You read poetry books in vain, you don't know this truth, what face is barking here? Wang Fu said unceremoniously, the meaning of this passage is very simple, that is, Confucius believes that if a person can make all the masses rich as an official, then he is a saint! It will even be stronger than Yao Shun!

Yuan Feng was stunned and defeated.

For a time, Wang Jiexin fought against hundreds of officials in the court, and hundreds of officials couldn't win!
