Chapter 257: Dialogue between Monarchs and Ministers (II)
It is said that the Son of Heaven is a lonely man, although he is rich all over the world, but he is the loneliest one in the world, because no one can become his true confidant. www.biquge.info In fact, it is true that no one dares to really have a heart to heart with the emperor, because you don't know when he will suddenly change his mind, and when you are still thinking of yourself as his friend, he will think that you are plotting against him. Therefore, as the king of a country, it is impossible for the Son of Heaven to have a credible friend who can confide in his heart.
But because Wanli is still young, it is precisely when he needs someone to give him psychological understanding and support, especially when he is confused about something, this need is infinitely magnified. Originally, Zhang Juzheng may be a very good candidate to confide, after all, he can help the emperor in terms of status and knowledge. But in Wanli's heart, he has always played the image of a strict master and a strict father, which makes Wanli unable to tell him what he really thinks in his heart. No child is willing to automatically tell the teacher and his strict father about the confusion and thoughts in his heart.
However, this confusion has made Wanli feel like a fish in his throat and not vomiting unpleasantly, so he found the person he thought was the most reliable, Yang Zhen, to confide in and listen to his opinion. Because after experiencing the incident of being rescued by Yang Zhen, Wanli unconsciously regarded Yang Zhen as a protector and idol, otherwise he would not have helped him repeatedly and transferred him to his side.
If this question was asked to any other person, those Wanli's courtiers would inevitably be shocked, and then wave their hands again and again and even kneel and kowtow, bluntly saying that as a courtier, they would not dare to speak out about the monarch and end this seemingly risky conversation. But Yang Zhen obviously didn't have any scruples about them, and after hearing Wanli's solemn inquiry, he only stopped slightly, and then frowned and thought carefully.
Seeing him like this, Wanli unconsciously became a little nervous. Although what he said meant that he didn't look like a Ming Jun, the young man's real purpose was to hope that Yang Zhen would deny this judgment. Seeing Yang Zhen suddenly become like this, his heart didn't feel it.
Fortunately, Yang Zhen didn't have to let him wait too long, and after a deep sigh, he said: "Although the minister has only been on duty in the palace for many days, I have also seen how diligent your majesty is, every day from morning to night, you put all your energy into political affairs, and this alone makes the minister deeply admire." Don't say that a person who is used to being free and casual like a minister, even a cabinet minister, I am afraid that he will not work as hard as His Majesty. ”
Hearing Yang Zhen say this, Wanli was still very happy, especially what Yang Zhen said was still the truth, the fact that he had seen himself, not the words of some vain flatterers, which was even more rare. But Wanli was still not satisfied at this time, but the real purpose of asking Yang Zhen was still at the last point, what was Yang Zhen's opinion on his stealing from the palace.
Seeing that the Son of Heaven was still looking at him with a wistful look, Yang Zhen's mind turned and he understood what he was really concerned about. Thinking about it, in terms of other ways of Mingjun, Wanli will only know himself better than him, the guard, and only when he leaves the palace and makes trouble, he is qualified to evaluate one or two.
In this regard, Yang Zhen had nothing to worry about, only to see him smile and say to Wanli: "It seems that Your Majesty has always felt that something is wrong with him leaving the palace?" ”
This question made Wanli's eyebrows jump uncontrollably, although he didn't want to admit it, but this was indeed his innermost opinion. Whether it is from the final result or from the education he has always received, he will unconsciously think that he is indeed wrong to leave the palace without permission.
Seeing that Wanli's expression was a little dim, Yang Zhen was sure that his judgment was correct, so he shook his head and said, "Actually, Your Majesty doesn't have to think like this, there is nothing wrong with what you did. ”
"Huh?" I thought that Yang Zhen had already tactfully indicated that he was wrong, but when he heard his words, Wanli was suddenly stunned, his eyes looked strangely at the young guard who was five or six years older than him, and opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything for a while.
"In fact, Your Majesty's rule that the Son of Heaven should not leave the palace without permission is extremely absurd in itself, so what is it to break it? Dare to ask Your Majesty, who made this rule, and when was it established? Yang Zhen suddenly threw out such a question.
This made it even more difficult for Wanli to answer. Since he was a child, he has been instilled with the rule that as a son of heaven, he should not be like this and should not be like that, and this rule that he cannot leave the palace casually, which was also accepted at that time. But now when he is asked to tell the origin of this rule, he can't think of anything.
There are some rules that are written and passed down from the ancestral family law. But there were some rules, apparently passed down by word of mouth, to govern the emperor's behavior, but there was never a single explicit text whose source could be found. This kind of rule of not leaving the palace is obviously the latter.
When he saw Wanli's stunned expression, Yang Zhen already knew such a result. He glanced behind him, convinced that the eunuchs and guards were far away, and he couldn't hear the conversation between himself and the emperor clearly, so he said, "I'm afraid Your Majesty has never delved into this point." If the minister's expectation is correct, this is clearly a means used by some ill-intentioned courtiers to deceive the Holy Hearing, but the ridiculous result is that this statement has been passed down and enshrined as a rule. ”
"What does Yang Qing mean by this?" Wanli had vaguely grasped something, but he couldn't completely uncover it because of some kind of power that imprisoned his mind.
But Yang Zhen didn't have any worries about this, and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, they all say that you are the lord of the world and the king of a country, but you can't even get out of this small Forbidden City, is this world really yours?" ”
This sentence is too serious, if it weren't for the fact that Yang Zhen didn't have any political acumen at this time, and the young son of heaven in front of him didn't have too many imperial skills, just this sentence would be enough to cause shock from the government and the opposition, and even more trouble. But Rao is like this, Wanli was also froze there by his direct rhetorical question, and his expression was a little blank.
Since he had started, Yang Zhen simply expressed his views completely: "Forgive the ministers to say that even if Your Majesty is wise and wise, it is impossible to make the right decision every time when even the situation in the outside world is only grasped through the performance of the courtiers, otherwise the ancients would not say that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books."
"And those officials who are blocking His Majesty from leaving the palace to learn more about the specific situation of my Ming Dynasty, even if they say it nicely, saying that everything is for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact, their real purpose is just to isolate the Son of Heaven from the people of the world. In this way, they can better manipulate the government, and the Son of Heaven ...... It's more just a puppet of their control of the government.
Because in their minds, they are the masters of this world, and what the Son of Heaven and the scholars rule the world together are just lies they use to deceive the Holy Hearing and the people of the world. So what they were most afraid of was that the Son of Heaven would go out of the palace and communicate with ordinary people, and learn from them some things that the officials did not want the Son of Heaven to know. And in order to ensure this as much as possible, they made up the so-called rules to completely imprison the Son of Heaven in this cage-like palace, but they fought for the sake of the world and the safety of the Son of Heaven.
And the consequence of such actions is that the king does not know the people, and the people do not know the king. Otherwise, there would be no record in the history books, and Emperor Hui of Jin asked why he didn't eat minced meat when he heard that the people were starving to death because they had no food to eat in the year of the Great Famine. Why is he? Isn't it because he was blinded by the ministers? What is a bully, this kind of behavior is the biggest bully in the world! And what is even more powerful about them is that the Son of Heaven still doesn't know that he has crossed the line slightly, and he thinks that he has made some mistakes! ”
These words were said happily, and Wanli was stunned when he heard it, this was an explanation that he could never have dreamed of, but at the same time, he felt agreed with it from the bottom of his heart. Indeed, as Yang Zhen said, since he is the king of a country and the whole world is his, why does he have to be trapped in the palace, and even go out of the palace to disguise himself and pretend to be a thief?
If Zhang Juzheng or Feng Bao and others were present at this time, they would definitely regret it after listening to Yang Zhen's words, and they should not let Yang Zhen, a guy with such dangerous thoughts, stay with the emperor. Because his words are right to the vital point, and no matter how much they refute them, they cannot justify themselves. Moreover, there are too many heart-wrenching remarks in Yang Zhen's words, which clearly regards these ministers as rebellious ministers and thieves with two hearts. Maybe if they were present at this moment, the only thing they could do was to ask someone to arrest Yang Zhen and kill him.
But unfortunately, they were not present at this time, and it was obvious that Wanli had been moved by Yang Zhen's words. After the initial shock, the Emperor began to fall into deep thought.
This kind of idea has never been produced in Wanli, and it is impossible to produce such an idea. But once Yang Zhen's words are broken, he will completely distrust the original set of so-called rules that imprison his freedom, and even distrust the courtiers around him.
If Yang Zhen's words were said to some emperors who had become old, maybe he didn't take it too seriously when he felt it, after all, their long-standing habits had made them agree with this way of governing the world, and some suspicious emperors might also get rid of Yang Zhen's unstable factor.
But the object of what he said was Wanli, a boy who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, a teenager whose world outlook and outlook on life had not yet been formed, sometimes he would unconsciously choose some words that he was willing to listen to and accept, and become his own code of conduct.
At this moment, Wanli already had some thoughts in his heart that he had never had before, and Yang Zhen didn't know that he had quietly begun to change the history of the entire Ming Dynasty!
