Chapter 167: Guo Fengxiao's Tongue Argues with the Ministers
As Guo Jia's voice sounded, the scrutinizing eyes in the field fell on Guo Jia. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Guo Jia obviously didn't drink today, he was dressed in a Confucian robe, he looked handsome, and he had a bit of celebrity demeanor, but he had a pair of eyes, but he was a little arrogant and uninhibited, turning a blind eye to everyone's eyes, and went straight to His Highness, bowed to Liu Xie and said: "Minister, Guo Jia, see Your Majesty." ”
Yang Biao has seen Liu Xie and Guo Jia talking and laughing more than once, and at this moment, Guo Jia ignored the courtiers, and he was even more displeased with this person in his heart.
"You are the prodigal son of Yingchuan?" Ding Chong narrowed his eyes, with the tone of a senior teaching a disciple, and snorted coldly: "Since Your Majesty favors you, you should assist Your Majesty well and support the Han family, how can you come up with evil words to confuse the saint?" ”
Guo Jia got up, his eyes fell on Ding Chong, and he smiled slightly: "It turned out to be Youyang Gong, but I don't know why Youyang Gong said this, and why did Jia bewitch the saint?" ”
"Humph!" Ding Chong said angrily: "Your Majesty has never had such an idea since he ascended the throne, and now he has suddenly issued a recruitment order, if it weren't for the villains such as Er, how could he have issued such an edict to disrupt the country?" ”
"Youyang Gong's words are wrong." Guo Jia smiled and said: "Although Your Majesty is young, he is a rare saint, if it is really a fallacy, how can he be easily bewitched?" ”
"As for the edict of the troubled country, where does this start?" Guo Jia shook his head and smiled: "If you want to prosper the Han family, there should naturally be a large number of virtuous and virtuous people, Your Majesty recruits talents, and the wise men from all over the world are attracted to vote. ”
"Ridiculous!" Sima Fang said angrily: "The recruitment order has words, only ask about his talent, not his virtue, but there is such a thing?" ”
"It is true." Guo Jia nodded and said: "People are not sages, who can do nothing, if only because of their virtues, they abandon the virtuous and use mediocrity, isn't it ridiculous?" ”
"My Han has always ruled the country with virtue, what's so ridiculous?" Ding Chong shouted: "Isn't this a paradox of the rule of law of the ancestors? ”
"Youyang Gong's words are wrong, so take my dynasty as an example, how is the virtue of Gaozu, you should know, but in the end he sat in the world and established the foundation of the Han family for 400 years, Chen Ping, Han Xin, and his virtues are flawed, but he helped Gaozu achieve great things, why do you turn a blind eye? If we take the people of a place as an example, those who have a loss of virtue can make the people have enough food and clothing, and those who are virtuous but have no ink on their chests have flawless conduct, but they cannot make the people under their rule live in peace. ”
"You ......" Ding Chong was suffocated by Guo Jia's words, and pointed at Guo Jia, but he couldn't say anything to refute.
"Ran Fengxiao has ever thought about it." Zhong Xuan took two steps forward, glanced at Guo Jia coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Feng Xiao said that several people have the talent of Kuang Fu Sheji, but you Guo Jia, but Yingchuan is a prodigal son, debauchery all day long, what qualifications do you have, compared with these predecessors?" ”
"How does Yuan Changgong know that Jia doesn't have the talent of Kuang Fu Sheji?" Guo Jia shook his head and smiled.
"You?" Zhong Miao glanced at the country with disdain: "Wen Ruo regards you as a friend, or a little tricky, what I see today is also like the generation of Su Qin and Zhang Yi, but if you want to compare with the sages, you really can't do it." ”
"From this point of view, Yuan Changgong thinks that Su Qin Zhang Yi is just a lobbyist?" Guo Jia looked at Zhong Xuan and said.
"Yes, it seems that Bonghyo has a different opinion."
"Don't dare." Guo Jia said: "It's just Su Qin, Zeng Pei Six Kingdoms, Zhang Yi, twice as the prime minister of Qin, in Jia's view, these two people are really heroes, as for comparing with the sages, Jia thinks that it may not be impossible." ”
"Confucius also had a cloud, the disciple does not have to be inferior to the teacher, the teacher does not have to be better than the disciple, the people of today are not necessarily worse than the ancients, just imagine, if the scholars of the world are not as good as the ancestors, and the generation is weaker than the generation, then the sages of today, are they not even as good as the ancient horses?" Guo Jia looked at Zhong Xuan and said: "Although we respect the sages, but the people we respect are the minds and courage of the sages who opened books and said, but if we talk about learning, we should strive for perfection and surpass our ancestors, so that we can make the world more prosperous. ”
"You ......"
"According to Mr. Yuan Chang, it is hard to imagine that thousands of years later, will the future generations of scholars not even be as good as today's peddlers and pawns?"
"Megalomaniacs!" Zhong Xuan was furious when he heard this: "Say some tricks, cholera is heard!" It's a shame for Confucianism! ”
"This is something that Mr. has already said in Yingchuan Academy back then, but now, there is no need to mention it again." Guo Jia's eyes flashed with a cold glint, and he snorted coldly: "Before Confucius and Mencius, there was no Confucianism in the world, and that Confucianism was probably also a left-handed side door in the eyes of the great sages at that time. It may be better to have fewer virtuous people who are arrogant on the cliff shore. ”
"You ......" Zhong Xuan pointed at Guo Jia, holding his breath in his chest, unable to speak, for a long time, in the midst of everyone's exclamations, poof, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and withered to the ground.
"Quickly pass on the Imperial Doctor." Liu Xie hurriedly stood up and said to the outside of the hall, and then cast an appreciative look at Guo Jia, but his face was reproachful: "The words of filial piety are too intense, Yuan Chang is the pillar of my court, and he has meritorious service in Sheji, so he must not be rude." ”
"Jia obeys." Guo Jia watched Zhong Xuan being carried out of the hall by several guards, and bowed slightly to Liu Xie: "Please forgive your majesty, Jia lost his words for a while, he was too radical, and he didn't want Yuan Changgong to be like this...... Hehe, so strong, it's really a sin of Jia. ”
The courtiers looked at Guo Jia, and saw that Zhong Miao was so angry by Guo Jia's words that he vomited blood, but his heart was resentful, and his hatred for the enemy was even stronger.
Sima Fang frowned and looked at Guo Jiadao: "Today, we are gathered together, but the people who do it are not to discuss the difference between ancient and modern, but to recruit talents, as Feng Xiao said, people without virtue may be talented and can make the place prosperous, but Feng Xiao can know, people without virtue are mostly from the poor family, do you know why?" ”
"Jia doesn't know, I'm about to ask my seniors for advice, and I dare to ask why." Guo Jia arched his hand slightly and asked with a smile.
"Without him, most of the children of the poor family were born poor, not valued by others, and were poor since childhood, and because of this, once they gained power, it was difficult to resist the temptation of wealth and prosperity, resulting in a lack of virtue." Sima Fang sighed and said in a deep voice: "I don't deny that there are also masters in the cold family, and there are also gentlemen in the family, but if you talk about it on the whole, those who have a loss in virtue are more out of the poor family, but it is an indisputable fact, and they are in different positions, vision, insight, and the difference between them is immeasurable, Feng Xiao has ever thought about this?" ”
"The theory of eating because of choking." Guo Jia shook his head: "Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, the rule of law has constrained officials, and officials are greedy and bribery, which is the inadequacy of the law and the unfavorable implementation. ”
"Presumptuous!" When Yang Biao heard this, his brows frowned slightly, and he shouted: "As an official, he should serve people with virtue, his body is not right, how can he be a righteous person, and what does it have to do with the law?" ”
"Taifu's words are wrong." Guo Jia shook his head and said: "From the hundred officials to the peddlers and pawns, if there is no law to restrain you, and you only use your own cultivation to restrain yourself, maybe all of you present have enough cultivation to resist the temptation of the outside world, and then ......."
Guo Jia looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Let me ask the hundreds of millions of people in the world, how many people can have the virtue of you?" If you only bind people with virtue, I don't know how many people in this world can keep virtue? ”
"It is precisely because of the existence of the law that the hundreds of millions of Li people dare not touch, Jia thinks, rather than being too strict with the virtue of officials, it is better to strengthen the supervision of the law, and then use it, if everything is demanding, Jia seems to seek, but it just shows the incompetence of the court, which is not done by the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty." Guo Jia said in the end, but his eyes became brighter and brighter, and his voice gradually became louder.
Yang Biao frowned and looked at Guo Jia: "According to Fengxiao's words, do you want to follow the example of the pre-Qin and implement the rule of law?" ”
"Definitely." Guo Jia shook his head, although Shang Ying has courage, but he doesn't want to be Shang Ying: "In Jia's view, law is the bottom line of the country, virtue is the upper limit of the country, the two sides can complement each other, the law restricts the people, and the virtue improves the cultivation of the people. may be extreme, but I hope you can think deeply, not to mention, at this time when Guo Jia is in difficulty, he should be even more eclectic, why keep talents out of the door and make others laugh. ”
Yang Biao and the others had gloomy faces, but they couldn't refute it, in addition to what Guo Jia said, there were many conflicts of interest, but at this time, how could they say it in the court?
Liu Xie saw that everyone no longer asked, knowing that the overall situation had been decided, he immediately got up and said with a smile: "What Feng Xiao said, I am deeply heartfelt, my Han wants to revitalize and grow, but I just demand official morality and abandon the ability and do not use it, just as Feng Xiao said, it is actually because of the act of choking on food, I hope that all the ministers can abandon the view of the door, with the heart of a great country, and collect the talents of the world for the use of the country." ”
"Your Majesty's words...... Very much. "The matter has come to this, if it was before, they could still refute it, but at this moment, what everyone said was refuted by Guo Jia one by one, and the momentum has been lost.
