Chapter 202: On the Way of Statecraft (II)

Zhao Yuanqi very much hopes to be inspired by Ji Ning's way of governing the country, and he is also socially minded and ready to show his ambitions.

He also heard that many people had some insights on governing the country, and he did not have a deep discussion with Ji Ning, but Ji Ning expounded on the changes in the country's society from the perspective of the changes of the times, which changed Zhao Yuanqi's original proposition of "external and internal circle" in governing the country, and he began to examine the strategy of deep-seated governance.

Everyone was looking at Ji Ning, wanting to hear what he had to say, but they saw Ji Ning looking sideways at Liu Rushi who was standing on the side, and said indifferently: "I want to hear Miss Liu's opinion." ”

"Huh?" Not only were the students present puzzled, but even Zhao Yuanqi was a little surprised.

What you are asking about is the way to govern the country, and it is also the second question of the township test, why do you ask a Fengyue woman for no reason? Could it be that her knowledge of governing the country is higher than that of a Confucian scholar with a great mind like you? Others are thinking, what topic do you transfer, and the prince of Chongwang will answer whatever you ask, don't talk about some useless.

Liu Ru became the target of public criticism without realizing it, and she said with a very restrained expression: "Slave family...... I don't know how to govern the country, so I don't know. ”

Zhao Yuanqi is also the prince of Chongwang in the end, even if he doesn't believe that Liu Ru has any insight in governing the country, he still smiled and said: "Since Ji Gongzi asked Miss Liu to express some opinions, Miss Liu can speak freely." ”

Some people are very unwilling, even Song Rui and others are giving Ji Ning a look, meaning that they want Ji Ning to give them the opportunity to speak, not Liu Ruyi, after all, this is a great opportunity to perform in front of the prince of Chongwang.

"The slave family thinks ......" Liu Ru was confused at this time, she had indeed considered this aspect before, but it was also to cater to the students and Confucian students who were sent to discuss the way of learning and governing the country, to put it bluntly, it was for the prosperity of Tianxianglou's business, and the theories she knew were just taught to her by others in a cramming style, in this kind of formal occasion, and the presence of the prince of Chongwang, she did not dare to say some nonsense casually, "The slave family thinks that governing the country ...... The foundation lies in the peace of the country and the people, and the prosperity of the people. ”

said it very simply, and even made the students next to him laugh secretly, what kind of high opinion is this, there is no nutrition at all, and this can also be used as a point of view for the discussion of the prince of Chongwang?

Zhao Yuanqi nodded and said, "What Miss Liu said is sincere, admire and admire." ”

He just gave Ji Ning face, and didn't demean this remark, and then he looked at Ji Ning again and said, "Yongning, now you can say it?" ”

Ji Ning still shook his head, his attitude seemed to be very resolute, which made Tang Xie and the others desperately give him a look, what's wrong with you Ji Ning, such a good opportunity to show yourself, you may not come again if you miss it. Ji Ning looked at Xiao Juan in the corner behind Liu Ru and said, "I still want to hear what Miss Xiao Juan means." ”

"Huh?" Xiaojuan was completely panicked now, her frightened body was trembling, her own young lady was not used to this kind of big scene, I was a little girl, I didn't even know much words, what kind of governance do you talk about?

Zhao Yuanqi frowned slightly at this time, he felt that Ji Ning's attitude today was a little too abnormal.

A son named He Huan walked out of the side and asked, "Young Master Ji, His Royal Highness the Prince asked you, why are you so pushing?" ”

Even the attendants around the prince of Chongwang were a little more hostile to Ji Ning, as if they felt that Ji Ning was playing tricks on his own son, which was a bit too rude. Zhao Yuanqi waved his hand and said: "Don't be snub to Ji Gongzi, this son will follow Ji Gongzi's intentions, listen to it...... This girl's insight. ”

Xiaojuan knelt on the ground in fright, she secretly scolded Ji Ning in her heart, didn't I just go to you on the order of Miss to introduce you? Even if it doesn't work out in the end, you can't hurt me like this, I won't be beheaded if I say the wrong thing, right?

Ji Ning said in an encouraging tone: "Miss Xiaojuan, whatever you think, just say anything." ”

Xiaojuan kowtowed and said: "Your Royal Highness, the slave doesn't know how to govern the country, I really don't understand, the slave just wants to have a peaceful birthday for a few days, not born in troubled times, just have something to eat in the future......"

It was very unsightly, and this time it also made the people present talk a lot, and He Huan, who had just questioned Ji Ning, said: "Ji Gongzi, when will you still neglect His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

This He Huan is also polite, he didn't directly scold Ji Ning for playing Zhao Yuanqi, but just said that he was "sluggish", and it was also to give today's guests Tang Xie and Han Yu face, after all, he didn't have any friendship with Ji Ning, and he only met on the first day today, and he couldn't see it in his heart, so it was polite to say so.

Ji Ning smiled indifferently and said, "Then I don't know what Gongzi has any insight into the way of governing the country?" ”

"Me?" He Huan, who was questioned by Ji Ning, also felt the pressure of being looked around, but he was not the Shengdou Xiaomin in the market, he was a showman who came out of the imperial examination, participated in the township examination, and may also be the future of the people, he raised his arrogant head and said, "The way to govern the country is to respect Confucianism and promote the classics, and govern the country with law and etiquette, this is the words of a saint, not the nonsense of the next family." ”

Confucianism governs the country, advocating etiquette and music, and Legalism governing the country advocates the law, perhaps He Huan himself said "respecting Confucianism and promoting the classics", and said that governing the country with the law, it seems that he may have part of the thoughts of the Legalists, so he quickly emphasized that this is "the words of the sage", in fact, Confucius only advocates etiquette and music, not advocating the repetition of the classics, he is confusing the public.

But no matter what you say, He Huan's discussion is much more insightful than Xiaojuan and Liu Ru, even if he doesn't get to the point, he still expresses his own arguments, polite and courteous.

Zhao Yuanqi looked at Ji Ning and said: "Yongning, what you asked, this son seems to know, but he doesn't know very well, can you explain in detail?" ”

If you want to talk about the understanding of the way of governing the country, the people present, even if they are people like Tang Xie and Han Yu, there is a gap with Ji Ning and Zhao Yuanqi. Ji Ning is a time-traveling person who came over in the era of the Big Bang of Knowledge, while Zhao Yuanqi is the son of Chongwang, the future Chongwang, and the royal family and nobles, who will consider governing the country as his "duty". Therefore, Ji Ning's words were not reprimanded by Zhao Yuanqi, and Zhao Yuanqi did not blindly praise them, because he really didn't understand what Ji Ning meant.

Ji Ning said: "In the next year, I want to ask more people about the way of governing the country, not only talented sons, like He Gongzi, Tang Gongzi, Han Gongzi, or talented girls like Miss Liu, or Xiaojuan girls who don't know anything, but also ask the peddlers on the street and the people in the market, the farmers in the fields, the laborers who carry the burdens on the ferry, or the shopkeepers of pawnshops and tailors...... In fact, what I want to say next is that everyone has a yearning in their hearts, the scholar advocates the rule of etiquette and music, and the people of Shengdou seek to live and work in peace and contentment, and a girl like Xiaojuan, who does not even have freedom, is afraid that what she wants is to be able to marry and have children in the future, and have no worries about food and clothing. And the way to govern the country is to meet the needs of the people of a country and the world, so that you can be the holy lord of the Ming monarch! ”
