Chapter 764: The Monarch's Father and His Courtiers (I)

Hearing the sound of the crusade against Hai Rui outside, Jiajing showed a relaxed smile on his face, and he said to Ma Sen beside him: "How is it?" I'm not wrong, am I? He can't win, because I'm a king, he's a minister, and no one will stand on his side......"

Before the words fell, he heard a voice with a Hokkien accent: "Haigangfeng, I'll help you!" ”

The smile froze suddenly, and Jiajing said angrily: "Who is so bold? ”

Masson hurried to see it, and after reading it, he came back and whispered: "I don't know ......"

"Who the fuck do you know?" Jiajing rolled her eyes in anger. Fortunately, at this moment, the man's voice sounded, and the poor Ma Gonggong was relieved.

On the pulpit, the man took off his hat and showed a handsome face.

"Who are you?" The civil servants looked at him warily.

"Li Zhen, Li Zhuowu." The man put his hat on the ground, lifted his robe, and sat cross-legged beside Hai Rui.

"It turned out to be Li Mad ......" suddenly realized that this person turned out to be the doctor of the Five Classics of Guozijian, a few years ago when the Sangong debate was first established, he really had a few limelight, because of his arrogant words, disrespecting Confucius and Mencius, and got a 'Li Mad "evaluation number, but he was defeated once a few years ago, and he left Guozijian, and it is said that he went to be a hermit and a scholar.

chose to re-emerge at this conference, it seems that he wants to make a splash and make a comeback.

"Master, his name is Li Zhen." Ma Sen hurriedly reported to Jiajing, and naturally met with disdain.

"What did Hai Jui say that made you angry?" After reporting home, Li Zhen asked for a long time.

"Didn't you hear?" A word minister said loudly: "He said that today is not as good as Chinese!" ”

"Leave it at that a moment's notice." Li Zhen's gaze swept over all the Wenchen, his voice was full of anger, showing everyone's demeanor, and said: "Why do you want to be angry when you say that it is not as good as Chinese today?" ”

"This ......" The ministers were stopped by him, and they really couldn't answer this.

"How can there be so many natural things?" Fortunately, there are many people and great strength, and the wordman who was out of the limelight in the confrontation with Hai Jui said loudly: "Just like why the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and why the moon is cloudy and sunny, can you explain the reason?" ”

"Is there anything in the world that cannot be explained? I can't say it clearly, it's just because of ignorance. Li Zhen said lightly: "The ancients have known it for a long time. The universe is like an egg, the earth is like a chicken in the yellow, living alone, between the eggshell and the yolk is the sky, the sky is a boundless gas, without any form, the reason why we look at the sky has a feeling of paleness, because it is too far away from us. The sun, moon and stars float naturally in the air, without any support, and move according to their own laws. After a pause, he looked at the man: "Do you want me to continue?" ”

The man's eyes were full of confusion, and he smacked his lips and said, "Say ......"

"The sun moves round the earth, twelve hours in a circle, and when it turns before you, it is day, and when it turns behind you, it is night, and this is its rise in the east and setting in the west." Li Zhen looked at him with a look of pity and said, "The moon also moves, but because it is blocked by other stars, it can only fully appear once a month, so it is cloudy and sunny. ”

This knowledge is too profound for people who don't understand it at all, and the word minister is really dumbfounded and speechless.

"Everything must have a reason in it." Li Zhen's voice was not loud, but it spread throughout the audience: "If you can't be reasonable, why should you justifiably accuse Hai Rui." ”

The ministers felt deeply pricked, and Li Chunfang was about to be on top, and he didn't know how to phrase it for a while. Fortunately, their debate had aroused the interest of many masters, and a young man sitting in the front row, with a handsome face and a dashing demeanor, spoke up: "Wang will explain it to you." As the youngest one sitting in the front row, his name is known to everyone, and Wang Shizhen, the leader of the literary league, is also ...... Of course, it does not mean that he is the boss of all the literati present, and if we use the concept of 500 years later, it is easier to explain this alliance leader - he is a best-selling author, a famous opera producer, a critic, and a person who has the right to speak in society.

Seeing Wang Shizhen coming out, Li Chunfang was much more relieved, although this Wang League leader is not the strongest academic, but he is well-versed in the past and the present, and his eloquence is unhindered, and he is absolutely on par with Li Zhen.

"Etiquette is headed by the Three Guidelines, and the Three Principles are headed by the monarchy." Wang Shizhen's gestures are full of grace and generosity, and his voice is also very good, and he is really the demeanor of the leader of the alliance: "The key of Wulun, the origin of a hundred lines, has been passed down for thousands of years, and there is no difference, so the saint is a saint, China is for China, and it is really here." As he spoke, he opened the folding fan and said, "If you abandon it, the law will not be carried out and there will be a big mess; Therefore, it is necessary to keep this and not lose it, and it will not change for a hundred years, does Brother Li understand? ”

"Of course I do." Li Zhenwan smiled and said: "The words of the leader of the Wang League, in the vernacular, that is, it has been like this since ancient times, and it must be like this in the future, in fact, except for strong words, there is no reason to say." Caused a burst of uncontrollable laughter.

"You ......" Wang Shizhen was very angry, but after all, he had a level and bearing, and he brushed the fan together and said: "Do you still need a reason for being filial to your parents?" ”

"My parents gave birth to me and raised me, and filial piety is a matter of course." Li Zhen said lightly: "The lord of the Wang League is a filial son, and he must have a deeper understanding than me. ”

"Not bad. Reciprocate life with death, repay with strength, and the way of man is also! Wang Shizhen reinvigorated his spirits and said: "In ancient times, there were many harms to people. People have no feathers, scales to live in the cold and heat, no claws and teeth to fight for food and self-defense, if there is no ancient emperor to teach the way of mutual survival and nourishment, then human beings have been extinct for a long time. Even today, everyone knows how to support themselves, and can be a farmer or a worker, a doctor, and does not need to be taught by others, but they still need to be courteous, and the order is second; to rejoice in it, to declare its melancholy; for the sake of government, in order to rate its fatigue; to punish it, to hoe its wickedness; For the city, the armor soldiers to defend it. Prepare for harm, and prevent it. Is it true that kings are less kind to you than to your parents? In the end, he concluded: "Therefore, the dynasty governs the country with filial piety, and the monarch and the ministers are like the father, and they must be filial to the father and loyal to the king." This is the norm, this side is ethics, abide by these norms, then the upper and lower levels are respectful and humble, each in its place, the country can not be chaotic, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment.

Jiajing burst into tears when he said this, it turned out that he had made such a great contribution...... The heart said that the leader of the alliance is indeed the leader of the alliance, and the words he spoke are so convincing and convincing. I can't help but secretly rejoice that I was fortunate to have given Shen Mo a face and didn't kill Wang Chen, otherwise Wang Shizhen would never be able to help herself speak now.

Wang Shizhen's speech caused a lot of applause, and then looked at Li Zhen's slight nod, as if he also agreed with this view.

"Since you agree with the monarch and the minister as father and son." Wang Shizhen naturally did not miss the opportunity, and pursued after the victory: "You should know that filial piety is the foundation of a person's life." A filial son should support his parents so that they may be happy in their hearts and not go against their will. The key to honoring one's parents lies in the word 'respect', and for sons, 'all in the world are parents'. By extension, there are naturally all kings. Of course, the political affairs of a country are complicated, and the sage cannot fail to make mistakes, otherwise in ancient times, it was enough to set up an official, as long as he was an official, and there was no need to ask them to give advice, nor did he need to set up an official, let alone say something like wooden rope and golden stone. Therefore, if you think that the king has made some mistakes, you can give your opinion, but you should pay attention to your attitude, and even if it is not adopted, you must respect and love as before, and not disobey, as before, be loyal and filial without resentment. This is the way to be a minister. We must not be like Hai Rui, barking indiscriminately, maybe it was originally a good intention, but it ruined the reputation of the monarch and inevitably made the monarch angry, so not only will it not help, but also lose the minister's way, it is a big mistake. ”

'Pop' applause resounded in the audience, gradually getting denser and denser, the first warm applause sounded in the audience - this is the tradition of the three public acacia, if anyone is particularly wonderful, the audience will be in a situation of hitting each other, make a voice to express approval and encouragement, it has been proved that this will make the speaker feel extremely satisfied, but also make the audience happy, but must first conquer the discerning audience, not everyone can do it.

The masters and big names sitting in the front row also nodded one after another, and said in their hearts that this Wang Shizhen is indeed a fairy fart - extraordinary, not only did he elaborate perfectly, maintain the authority of the emperor, but also helped Hai Rui without a trace, and said that his behavior was 'doing bad things with good intentions', maybe he could save his life. Regardless of the outcome, Wang Shizhen's fame will definitely go to the next level, especially when he is praised by university scholars, which will undoubtedly make him take another big step towards becoming a true master.

Jiajing also applauded Wang Shizhen...... This is already an extreme movement for the emperor, who has a hard time lifting his hand. I saw that the emperor applauded and said with tears in his eyes: "Sure enough, I can't argue with reason, and finally someone understands and says a fair word to me......"

It's a pity that Wang Shizhen doesn't know that the emperor has become his fan, so he can still hold on to it now. As a highly influential public figure, he knows that at this time, he needs to be humble and low-key, always have a calm expression, and enjoy people's applause. When the applause gradually subsided, he put on a high posture and said with a smile: "Brother Zhuo Wu doesn't have to be afraid, he can't argue clearly, he can change his life if he understands it, and he is still very good." ”

"Brother Wang is talking so much, it's really ......" Li Zhen slowly raised his head and said: "Hypnosis, I almost fell asleep." ”

"You!" Wang Shizhen suddenly changed color, squeezed the fan tightly and said: "Brother Li, everyone respects those who respect people, please respect yourself!" The guests couldn't help but look down on Li Zhen a little, after all, on such a solemn occasion, gags can only be laughed at and generous.

"How dare I disrespect Brother Wang?" But Li Zhen still said with that lazy look: "But I have a problem since I was a child, that is, I get sleepy when I hear Mr.'s endorsement, and I can't think that I am not good now." Said lightly: "What Brother Li said is right, after all, Mr. Changli is also half a saint, how dare he say that he is not." ”

Wang Shizhen's heart sank, and the arrogance on his face disappeared, his remarks just now were indeed quoting Han Yu's "Original Dao", but the face was changed and the sentence was new, I didn't expect this Li Zhen to still be able to hear it...... But he didn't know that Li Zhen was known as the king of counseling, and he was an expert in this kind of cutting, sewing, moving and patchwork, how could he not hear it?

Fortunately, Wang Shizhen did not underestimate the world's masters, and he was ready to say that he was ready to say: "Mr. Changli is a sage who accompanies the Confucian Temple, and his words will naturally not be wrong." ”

"It's just that I don't know anything." Li Shi's gaze gradually sharpened and said: "If according to Brother Wang's meaning, everyone in the world treats the king like filial piety to his parents, then how did these dynasties of Qin, Han, Tang, Song and Yuan perish?" Could it be that every few hundred years, people in the world go crazy and kill their fathers? ”

"Wrong, Mencius said that it is the way of heaven to control chaos and control the cycle of chaos. In troubled times, etiquette collapses, the program is often upside down, and loyalty and filial piety are lost! The minister does not serve the king with his father, but turns to the lower and higher, and there will be a change of dynasty. "Wang Shizhen is indeed worthy of 'unhindered argument', the soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth, unequivocally.

"If what Mencius said is true, I don't know why there is chaos and no rule in three generations?" Li Zhen's argument also became sharp: "I read the history books and found terrified that since the year of King Jiazi of Zhou Jing, for more than 3,500 years, the sum of those who can be called the prosperous era of the world is only a hundred years. It can be said that from ancient times to the present, it is difficult to call the world truly peaceful, and the occasional prosperity is just a flash in the pan. It is not an exaggeration to say that it has been three generations, all in a mess? What is the basis for daring to say that there is a mess and a rule? ”

Wang Shizhen is dumb now, after all, he is just an excellent literati, a star-level debater, if he really wants to be profound, he is really not Li Zhen's opponent. But where was he willing to admit defeat, and Wu Zi used his skillful skills to say, "What does Brother Li want to say?" "When it's hard to deal with the other person's problem, you might as well kick the ball back to gain time to think, and second, if the other person says too many mistakes, maybe you can get a loophole.

"Brother Wang doesn't understand, I'll explain it to you." Li Zhen smiled faintly, stood up, swayed his sleeve robe, and said indescribably: "I agree with Han Changli's statement, but I don't agree with your statement, Mr. Changli said that the king serves the world, so the people of the world should serve him with loyalty and filial piety, which is the most reasonable." But you treat father and son as the same as monarchs and ministers, and Yu dare not agree. For the Father has relatives and respect for the Son; But the king has no relatives to his ministers, only respects but not relatives. Therefore, even if the father does not fulfill the obligation of upbringing his son, he always has the grace of childbirth and the love of blood, so it makes sense to ask for eternal filial piety as a son. ”

At this time, the sun was already in the west, and the sun was shining down, dyeing Li Zhen's body golden, as if giving him some kind of sacred meaning. His voice resounded in every corner of the field: "But being a monarch requires the courtiers to be loyal and filial, but they must first serve the world, then everyone in the world is loyal and filial, and everyone supports them!" In fact, I am also picking up people's teeth and wisdom, because this is what Confucius said, he said, "the monarch and the minister", which means 'the monarch has the appearance of being a king, then the minister has the consciousness of being a minister', what is the monarch like, that is, as Mr. Han Changli said, for the courtesy, for the pleasure, for the government, for the punishment, for the guard, for the preparation, for the prevention. If all these things are done well, are the monarchs still worried about the disloyalty and filial piety of their subjects? Even if there is a single rebellion, the whole world will fight against it! Why do you still have to worry about the king? ”

Listening to Li Zhen's words, the venue was quiet, whether it was the masters and big names, or the young students such as Gu Xiancheng and **Xing, they all fell into deep thought. Even Emperor Jiajing, who was on duty, thought that he should be angry, but he didn't ...... Think about it.

If Wang Shizhen's words are like fire, they brought fanatical applause; Li Zhen's words were like ice, making everyone think calmly.

gave everyone a little buffer, and Li Zhen's voice continued to sound: "Most of the kings three generations ago understood this truth, and they did not take their own interests for their own benefit, but let the world benefit from them; Do not take their own harm as harm, and make the world release its harm, first benefit Li Shu, and then enjoy the world's support, Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, Zhou Wen and other ancient sages are like this, so the ancients of the world love their king, compared to the father, like the sky, honesty is not exaggerated. ”

"The latter is the king, but if he understands this principle, he will create a prosperous era of peace and leave a name for the ages. Such as the Wenjing of the Han Dynasty, the Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the Taizu of the Song Dynasty, and the Renzong; Among them, there are several dynasties with the most, Taizu, Gaozu, Renzong, Xuanzong, Xianzong, Xiaozong, and today's saints, all understand this principle, so the peace and strength of this dynasty far surpasses that of the previous generations. As soon as the words changed, he said: "But most of the other hundreds of emperors are like Emperor Han Gao's so-called 'a certain industry, which is more than Zhongduo?'" ', he regards the world as a family property, and he does not feel overflowing. But those who have this heart will treat all officials as domestic slaves, and regard the people as plants and trees. In fact, who doesn't want to regard the king as a father? After all, although the father is strict, he loves most of his sons; However, few kings regard the people as their children, but most of them regard them as fish and meat to be cut! With neither family kindness nor reckless support, how can the people still be true to their fathers? This is the root cause of my Chinese turmoil for three generations! ”

"As for today's saints, who are gifted and wise, and have the potential to become kings like Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, Wen, and Wu, he is as diligent and serious as Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, generous as Emperor Guangwu, heroic and invincible as Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and able to quell the rebellions of feudal towns in various places like Tang Xianzong, and His Majesty also has the benevolence and forgiveness of Song Renzong. In short, any of these desirable advantages can be found in today's body. Is it comparable to Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, who is more virtuous than talented? Think back to the time when you first ascended to the throne today, that is, to eradicate the accumulated evils and reform political affairs. Soon swept away the filth of the Zhengde Dynasty and returned the world to peace! At that time, the wind and rain were good, the treasury was full, and the people of the world were very happy, saying that they could finally enjoy the prosperous times. However, in recent years, His Majesty has been confused by the demon way, and he has become obsessed with Xiuxuan, and has forgotten the truth of being a king for a while, and as a result, the state affairs have been declining day by day, and the situation has deteriorated...... "Speaking of this, he was already wet with tears, bowed in the direction of Xiyuan, and cried blood: "Does the monarch know?" As long as you can remember the way of being a king, no longer indulge in fasting, and restore fatherly love to your subjects, the people will also be loyal to your majesty, then the saint will return to Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, Wen, Wu such a Ming monarch, but also so that the subordinates can wash away the shame of flattering the monarch for decades, so that they can be placed in the ranks of Gaotao, Yi, Fu such virtuous ministers, up and down can be united, and its profits are gold! Chengping is prosperous! It's just around the corner......"——

It's definitely enough to split the number of words, and I have something to say: I've been sleepless for two nights in order to write this debate well, and I guess I'll have to catch it tonight. Lying on the bed is the words and swords of the three princes, and it is the insight of the sages in history. In the past two days, my mind has been full of this debate, and all my time has been spent looking through the materials, although I have not counted, but more than 30 copies and more than 200,000 words are not an exaggeration.

Although it may still be out of everyone's eyes, this is already my highest level, and although it is a bit exaggerated to say that I have worked hard, it is really how I feel at the moment. Suddenly, I really wanted to order a monthly pass and encourage myself, otherwise I might feel uncomfortable, because I knew that it was really weird to write a book like this.
