292 Unity of Knowledge and Action (I)

These people in the Prison Yuan, as well as Yang Lian and Qian Qianyi, are not simple people, as soon as they hear the words of the apocalypse, they understand the meaning of the apocalypse. The original intention of the apocalypse was to mobilize as many people as possible to rise up and do things, and it was to take the initiative to ask to serve the country, which required the people to have a sense of ownership. The world of the Ming Dynasty belongs to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the right to govern belongs to the emperor and the scholars, no matter how you look at it, it has little to do with the ordinary people.

Liu Zongzhou first said: "The emperor is the emperor, and the problems considered are not something that ordinary people can think of, which is also what the minister really admires." I heard them say that a few days ago, in Lord Ye's mansion, a separation of ownership and governance rights was discussed, and the minister was thinking that even if the ownership and governance rights were separated, they couldn't be given to ordinary people, and even if they were given to them, they didn't know how to use them. Now that the emperor does not talk about the right to govern and divides the ownership into three parts, he can come up with one and make it workaround, which I believe will make many people happy. ”

Gao Panlong said: "Yes, I remember that in the ancient books, there was a king in the Zhou Dynasty who committed public anger, which provoked the people to attack him, and the people drove the monarch and ministers away after Qingzi, and then went home to farm, which shows that the people only know how to farm and pay grain, and they may not be used to give them opportunities." The minister thought that the emperor was now going to share a share of power, and he was also thinking long-term, in order to avoid the anger of a certain emperor in the future, so he let the people have a sense of ownership. Nowadays, many people do not regard themselves as masters, and even if the enemy comes, they feel that it is nothing, and at most they will change the place to pay taxes, and it is very dangerous to go on like this. ”

Tianqi said: "The ancients were very simple, now if there are mobs occupying Beijing, they will definitely not celebrate and leave, the previous people did not have a sense of ownership and left immediately after venting their grievances, and now people do not have a sense of ownership, but now people are smart enough to turn my country into theirs." Therefore, I believe that the ownership of the country should be divided into parts, and then this part should be broken down into thousands of parts, so that everyone has the opportunity to get a little bit. At first glance, it seems that my power has become less, but in fact, as long as it works well, my country will become more stable. ”

At this time, King Xin said, "I wonder which part the imperial brother is going to take out and divide?" ”

Apocalypse said: "Whether it is the people of the past or the people of the future, their rights must be reflected in the people of the present, because one has not come and the other has gone." Therefore, I believe that the rights of people now should be shared with the people of the world, so that everyone can feel that they are also the masters of the country. ”

King Xin shook his head and said: "This courtier brother doesn't understand, the imperial brother took out the current human rights to share with the world, so what is your identity, imperial brother?" Should the ministers and others listen to the decisions of all the people? What do they do if they mess around? ”

Tianqi said: "The question of King Xin is a good question, Brother Wei is now the emperor and will still be the emperor, but the functions are different." In the past, the emperor had to take care of everything and did everything he wanted, do you think about it now, is my power much smaller? As for who the chief official should listen to, or that sentence, the country belongs to whoever it belongs to∞ it is necessary to tell the world that the world is divided into three, and to do everything not only to consider the feelings of the present people, but also to consider whether it is in line with the spirit of the ancestors, and more importantly, to consider whether it can make the life of future generations better. If these words are approved by the people, they will understand that they have only one of the three rights, and they cannot mess around. ”

King Xin wondered, "One of the three?" Then are the other two copies in the hands of the imperial brother? If this is reasonable, otherwise, if someone else grasps him, he will occupy the righteousness. ”

Apocalypse said: "Even if I can't catch it, I won't let others touch it, my ancestors are gone, and my descendants have not yet come, so we need to find someone or a group of people among our people to represent them, only in this way can we ensure the smooth continuation of the country." So what kind of people can represent their grandparents and grandchildren? I believe that only people who are trusted by everyone can represent, and trusting a person is not to see whether a person looks good or not, nor to see whether he can speak, nor to see whether he can do things, but ultimately to see whether his words and deeds are consistent, and whether his words and deeds are in line with everyone's wishes. ”

King Xin asked: "What the imperial brother said seems to make sense, but the ownership of the country is divided into three parts, and the younger brother has not only never seen it but has never even heard of it, how did the imperial brother come up with it?" Will there be any surprises? ”

Apocalypse said: "I have read some books of the Taixi people, and their books mention that in addition to the monarch, there is also a person called the pope who is in charge of part of the power of their country, and even when the monarch's power is small, the pope will decide the abolition of the monarch, just like the emperor's power in the Han and Tang dynasties at some times has to be abolished by courtiers and even eunuchs, which is absolutely not allowed in the Ming Dynasty!" Why did those popes wield so much power? It's not that they deceive the people with their rhetoric and even deceive the princes and ministers, saying that they are some kind of people who do things for God, and can control the fate of people after death, and decide whether you will go to heaven or hell after death. ”

Liu Zongzhou said: "Those foreign monks are similar to the native monks of the Ming Dynasty, they all use the past and future generations to coax people, but the local monks of the Ming Dynasty can only deceive ordinary people, and the foreign monks of Taixi can deceive the monarch of Taixi." The emperor's intentions and ministers also understood that the rights of people now can be expressed and even decided by everyone, including the people, including officials, but the rights of people in the past and in the future must be represented, and this person must be trusted by the vast majority of people. As long as the emperor did not commit public anger like the monarch of the Zhou Dynasty that Lord Gao began to say, the position of this representative belonged to the emperor. ”

Tianqi said: "It doesn't have to be me to represent, a while ago when I talked about this matter, King Xin and Lord Liu were there, and there were also Chromium, King Rui and others at that time, I asked these people to say that this matter had a certain consideration, just to let this representative fall on a group of people rather than on a certain person." A person's ability is not as good as the ability of a group of people, and in the same way, a person is not as thoughtful as a group of people, if a responsible emperor is bound to let the country decline due to his own sense of responsibility or lack of ability, and even let the whole people go to a situation of no recovery with him. ”

Seeing that Tianqi said this, Liu Zongzhou, Gao Panlong, and Xu Guangqi did not talk to each other, Yang Lian and Qian Qianyi were originally not from the Supervision Yuan, and they listened together after speaking, but now they see Tianqi talking about the distribution of power within the royal family, even if they feel that there is something inappropriate, it is not good to rashly oppose or agree with King Xin, and it is not very embarrassing to sit or leave now.

Yang Lian thought for a while and said to Tianqi: "Your Majesty, the ministers are not from the Supervision Yuan, and the ministers and others should not listen to the deliberations of such important affairs, if the emperor has no other instructions, the ministers and Lord Qian will retire temporarily." ”

Tianqi thought for a while and said, "It's okay if you want to leave, but I have something for you to do, what is Qian Qianyi doing now?" What do you do every day? ”

Qian Qianyi said: "Back to the emperor, the minister used to be in the Hanlin Academy, and then came to the Ministry of Rites in the Xinwang Mansion, and now he is in the Ministry of Rites. ”

Tianqi nodded and said: "This is the third time I have heard people say that I am very idle, the first time is Yang Lian, the second time is Liu Qiao, the third time is you Qian Qianyi∞ there is an important errand that needs a few people to do, but it has not been finally decided, since the three of you are free and have a certain amount of knowledge, just let you do it." Go down first and rest and make preparations by the way, and I will inform you when you come down. ”

After Yang Lian and Qian Qianyi left, Tianqi said: "Don't be so surprised, I began to say that I want to put this important position on behalf of my ancestors and descendants not on one person, that is a certain consideration ̈ For a hundred years, the emperor has been alone, and there are no brothers and no father and son in front of the throne, I don't want my two sons of watermelon and winter melon to fight to the death in the future, and I will eliminate them in the future to be as friendly as I and King Xin." ”

King Xin's eyes turned red when he heard Tianqi say this, and said: "The love of the imperial brother for the courtiers is rare in ancient and modern times, and the courtiers and brothers can also eliminate the two imperial nephews can be like you and my brothers." ”

Liu Zongzhou coughed lightly and said: "This is the emperor's family affairs and other inconvenient words, let's talk about how to make the people really feel that they can enjoy the rights given by the emperor." ”

Tianqi said: "This question is very simple, the governance of the country is the business of scholars, and I agree with this and do not want to change it easily, because people can only understand by reading." Only those who understand reason will be reasonable, and those who are reasonable will not make big mistakes when governing the country. To make the people feel that they enjoy their rights and feel that they are also the masters of the country, it is necessary to listen to their opinions when governing the country, and only when their opinions are respected will they have the feeling of masters, do you think this is the truth? ”

As soon as Tianqi's voice fell, he heard Gao Panlong's soft "ah", and Tianqi asked, "What did Master Gao remember?" ”

Gao Panlong said thoughtfully: "The emperor's words made the ministers seem to understand something, but after thinking about it carefully, they can't remember it. ”

Apocalypse smiled: "Did Lord Gao remember what he said at the beginning?" Is it that the people in the local auxiliary departments are inexperienced enough to handle general affairs as special affairs? ”

Gao Panlong thought for a while and said loudly: "Yes! That's it! The minister has been wondering why the local auxiliary government department has so many bumps in handling the matter? For other departments, our Supervisory Yuan is the Supervisory Yuan, but for the emperor, our Supervisory Yuan is an auxiliary department. After the establishment of the Supervisory Yuan for so long, we think that we are still qualified, and the emperor did not dislike us, saying that if we can't do anything, why can't we do things effectively, why can't the local auxiliary government departments be competent? ”
