Chapter 201: The Great Reversal (First Update, Asking for Support)
"The child knocks to his father!"
Even in the academy, Zhang Zai, who is over 30 years old, still bows respectfully.
"Youmo, why did you come to Changsha, you are not ......"
Looking at the kneeling Zhang Zai's tone was full of surprise, although he had four sons, but his feelings for Zhang Zai were no less than the other four biological sons, Chongzhen fifteen years he and two brothers went to Wuchang Township to test, that year he won the first place in "Spring and Autumn", and the fifth place in Zhonghu Guangxiang test. The eldest brother Wang Jiezhi also ranked 40th, and his friends Xia Rubi, Guo Fengqi, Guan Siqiu, Li Guoxiang, and Bao Shimei were all selected. It was also at this time that Wang Fuzhi got acquainted with the sub-examiner Zhang Kuang, the governor of Chuzhou, and later he participated in the anti-Qing righteous army organized by Zhang Kuang, after the failure, Zhang Kuang committed suicide by hunger strike, and when he was on his deathbed, Wang Fuzhi took Zhang Zai home to raise.
For twenty years, Zhang Zai has been by his side, until Wang Fuzhi returned to Hunan from Qinghe Academy, and Zhang Zai, who had graduated from the academy at that time, had already passed the exam and was out of office.
And now seeing his adopted son who he hasn't seen for several years, how can Wang Fuzhi not be excited?
"Back to the words of the righteous father, the child received the grace of His Majesty, and the point was Qipinzhi County, and this time he came to Hunan, he went to Xiangtan to take up his post."
The words of the adopted son made Wang Fuzhi excited.
"Good, good! It is a matter of reason for Mo to be able to serve the country today, so that the spirit of the heavens can also be blinded. ”
Although Zhang Zai had passed the civil service examination as early as a few years ago, at that time, in the eyes of traditional scholars, he was an "official", not an "official".
"Go, go home with your father-in-law, if your mother knows that you are back, she will definitely be overjoyed!"
The arrival of the adopted son made Wang Fuzhi temporarily forget his previous worries, and after helping the adopted son, he went home with him in a hurry, and even met the students in the middle, and told the students to run home and inform his wife.
That night, the Wang family was naturally full of laughter, and after the laughter, Wang Fuzhi invited Yizi to the study, first asked about the experience of the past few years, and after answering them one by one, he slowly asked.
"Youmo, if you come to Hunan this time, I'm afraid that your father-in-law will cause you trouble."
Wang Fuzhi sighed.
"The governor is a righteous father, and it can be said that he has a lot of complaints. In Hunan, everyone knows that you are a righteous father and adopted son, if the governor makes things difficult for you......"
Without waiting for him to speak, Zhang Zai shook his head and said.
"If there is a deliberate difficulty, the child will go to the scribe's department and ask the secretary department to preside, but in the child's opinion, the father-in-law should be too worried."
"Oh?"
Wang Fuzhi was surprised.
"Why do you say that?"
"Father, today is not the past, I have never been able to speak of the example of a sinner, and besides, ......"
Looking at his father-in-law, Zhang Zai said with a smile.
"Father-in-law, you and Your Majesty are still friends in cloth, not to mention the governor of a province, even the servant of the ministry, and even as a court assistant, I am afraid that you will not dare to make things difficult for your father-in-law because of his father-in-law's article."
Zhang Zai is telling the truth, when Wang Fuzhi was teaching in Qinghe Academy, he did have many discussions with His Majesty, and His Majesty can indeed be called friends, and even now, New Year, Mid-Autumn Festival and other festivals, His Majesty will write greeting cards by hand, and without exception, the name of the greeting card is "Zhu Mingzhong", and this is also the proof of "the father of cloth". The world of the Ming Dynasty is so big, there are only a few people who can be called His Majesty's "friends in cloth".
"Although His Majesty treats his father-in-law without asking about dignity and humility, but ......"
Looking at his adopted son, Wang Fuzhi hesitated for a moment, and then said.
"In the eyes of my father-in-law, although I am a Ming Jun today, it is also the root cause of my Ming and other troubles! It can even be said that the prosperity is also today, and the decline is also because of today! ”
This is a big disrespect, fortunately he said this to his adopted son, otherwise if it was spread out, just by this sentence, he could be cured of a great disrespect, maybe in the Ming Dynasty will not be guilty of words, but "disrespect to the royal family" is a rare crime in the Ming Dynasty that can directly put people in exile and even exile from the nine clans. And according to Wang Fuzhi's words, at least he can lose his life, and it will also lead to the exile of the nine clans of the Wang family.
"Father-in-law......"
Without waiting for Zhang Zai to speak, Wang Fuzhi stopped him and said.
"For the father knows, it is disrespectful to say this, and for the father, don't you know, only the people of the world respect and be loyal to the king, and only by maintaining the principle of the monarch and the minister, can the world be stable and the country can be ruled for a long time, but if the power of the Son of Heaven is stolen by the people, the people will be able to override the Son of Heaven and the thieves will rise. The relationship between the monarch and the minister and the monarch and the people is determined by God and must not be changed, because the benevolence of heaven cannot be without a father, and the righteousness of heaven cannot be without a monarch and minister. ”
Perhaps Wang Fuzhi advocates restricting the monarch's power, but restricting the monarch's power must be under the premise of respecting the monarch and being loyal to the monarch.
"The previous collapse of our dynasty, in the final analysis, is still the emperor's excessive power, and the emperor's words are true, resulting in officials, imperial families, Zhongjuan, relatives, Xun Lao and other people relying on the emperor's power, unscrupulously stripping the people, abusing the people, and forcing the people to survive,"
Looking at his adoptive father with an angry face, Zhang Zai didn't speak, just listened to him continue.
"Looking at our dynasty, although the clan vassal king did not tear the soil, he controlled a large amount of land by rewarding the land and dedicating it, while the eunuchs and gentry dominated one side, annexed the land, passed on taxes, and levied tyranny. Even if he is Emperor Lie, he seems to be diligent, but in fact he is in power, rigid and self-serving, reigning for 17 years, killing 27 governors and officials, making state affairs worse, and the courtiers are disheartened, if not, how can he lose the world's ......"
The adoptive father's words made Zhang Zai smile helplessly, he knew that although the dynasty could not bear to say much about the Emperor Lie, whether it was for His Holiness or because of the martyrdom of the Emperor Lie, the whole dynasty had mercy on the Emperor Lie, but there were also many complaints. He was stubborn and self-serving, but he was hesitant, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong repeatedly surrendered, and it was precisely by taking advantage of the court's instability that he was soothed. If Emperor Lie had been able to be resolute and insist on attacking, how could he lose the world and finally let the Qing Lu take advantage.
And at this point, this is completely different from the Lie Emperor, compared to the Lie Emperor's hesitation, the Lie Emperor has always acted decisively, if you say that you are stubborn and self-serving, I am afraid that this is the real stubbornness for your own use, as for the Lie Emperor...... I'm afraid it's more appropriate to use indecisiveness.
Zhang Zai looked at his father, he could understand his adoptive father's feelings, the exiles fell into the country, the Qing captives entered the country, Shenzhou almost sank, hundreds of millions of people died tragically at the hands of the prisoners, the painful lesson made the world but everyone with a little conscience to reflect on it, in the past six years, the science that had been in decline but rose again because of the Qing Dynasty, was devastated, and even Ercheng and Zhu Xi and others were moved out of the Confucian Temple. And the psychology that was once a retreat has also turned to pragmatism. As for the great revival of practical learning, it is also fundamentally related to the reflection of the whole dynasty on the chaos of the world after the apocalypse.
Everyone is reflecting, but compared with many people, Wang Fuzhi may have gone farther.
“…… The more suspicious the king, the more many ministers, the more ornamental the elephant, the more treacherous, the stricter the subsections, the more indulgent the big greed, the Son of Heaven with a comprehensive nuclear imperial minister, the minister with a comprehensive nuclear royal division, the division with a comprehensive nuclear imperial people, and the law to decorate the non-arrogant to play, the one who is willing to protect himself will be killed, and the people will not be hungry and cold and raise their arms to rise......"
Then he turned around in Wang Fuzhi's words, looked at Zhang Zai and said.
"And the reason for this is precisely because the power of the monarch is unlimited, and the fundamental reason is that the power of the world is private in one person, and the power of the world is concentrated in the hands of the Son of Heaven alone, and the old and the hundred officials even use the power in the hands of the Son of Heaven to indulge in lust and forget the people, forget the people and mustard it!"
The adoptive father's "disrespectful" words fell on Zhang Zai's ears, and while he was surprised, he asked rhetorically.
"So in the opinion of Yi's father, how should we resolve the people's grievances?"
"It's not the world!"
It seemed like a few simple words, but like thunder, they exploded in Zhang Zai's ears, and he looked at his father in surprise.
"The world? If it is the public world, where is the emperor? ”
Where is the emperor?
Facing his son's question, Wang Fuzhi replied.
The so-called "divine authority of the monarch" is just a pseudo-Confucianism made up by Dong Zhongshu's Han, and the so-called Son of Heaven is just a deception of the people, but the heavens must have a king, which is the public of the people, but since the Qin and Han dynasties, the empire has been rich and powerful, and it is natural to violate the grand duke. And it is precisely because the world is private to one person, one surname, often because the upper self-righteousness is also not virtuous, and its guidance is also untaught, because of the above, for this kind of tyrant and dark lord without the virtue of the grand duke, it is completely Zen, can be continued, and can be reformed, and should be replaced by the holy monarch and the virtuous, such as if Yue Fei in the Song Dynasty can destroy the gold, so he usurps the Song Dynasty, it is not a big deal......"
"Hum", almost when he heard the six words "Kezen, Keji, Keleather", Zhang Zai only felt dizzy, he only felt a cold sweat gushing out of his back, and looked at his adoptive father dumbfounded, he couldn't imagine how his adoptive father was so bold and actually said such a thing.
Then his words changed sharply, looked at Zhang Zai and said.
"For example, if Jinshang is not the queen of the Liehuang Emperor, and Yongli has not been poisoned by Li Yi, then with the merit of expelling the Tartars today, even if it is a great treasure, how can we refuse it?"
"Father, Father......"
looked at his father dumbfounded, and Zhang Zai, who came back to his senses for a while, looked at him, and only spoke after a while.
"Father, do you know this, if these words are preached,"
What kind of trouble will it cause if it gets out? Zhang Zai didn't know, but he could imagine what kind of shock these words would cause in Daming, and even His Majesty might be furious.
"Pass it out?"
Wang Fuzhi looked at Zhang Zai, and then said in a calm tone.
"Actually, my father has already sent the article to His Majesty!"
