Chapter 223: Who Fights (3)
The problem with Huang Daozhou is that whether he can say it or not, he can say it all, and in the end, he will be cut down to the people, just thinking about doing things, and he has no chance, he doesn't care about those false names, he needs to do things in a real way, he needs to reverse the course of history, and the courage of the man has no effect.
"Lord Huang, I don't mean to belittle Yuan Chonghuan, on the contrary, Yuan Chonghuan is a person of noble character, selfless and fearless, but his tragedy also lies in his noble character, clear conscience, and he thinks that the country is public, so that when he does things, he has no scruples, even when he does something wrong, he is also so righteous and arrogant, and this kind of behavior has caused damage to my Ming Dynasty that is far from being eliminated in a short period of time."
"The most terrible thing about this kind of consciousness is the influence on later generations, I don't know how many civil and military officials in the Dao are proud of the court debate, even if it is for the small things that are big sesame, they have to fight on the basis of reason, and they do not hesitate to be sceptered by the court, in order to obtain the so-called title of Qingliu and win the respect of the world. Is this kind of atmosphere normal, any major affairs of the imperial court, have to be debated for a long time, completely ignoring the suffering of the people, the courage of the moment, what is delayed and lost, is the suffering of the common people, is the cornerstone of the country, this abnormal situation, is not worth pondering? ”
"The Buddha once said, I don't go to hell, who goes to hell, as a court official, if you don't have the idea of sacrificing yourself for others, what is the country for the people, the so-called blind eye can't see Mount Tai, civil and military officials should think of something, should do some of the above, many officials do not understand, very sad."
Huang Daozhou's face became more and more ugly, Su Tiancheng's words. It seems to be aimed at him, but he is not named.
At this point, if Su Tiancheng can't give a clear reason, Huang Daozhou will not give up.
"Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong, no matter how good the reason is, there are four evil consequences."
"First. It is a precedent for officials to act on their own and undermine the country's legal system. Whether Mao Wenlong is guilty or not, whether he should be beheaded or not, it should be decided by the imperial court, not by him Yuan Chonghuan, to maintain the authority of the imperial court, this is the basic truth, doesn't Yuan Chonghuan understand. ”
"Mao Wenlong is the chief military officer of Pingliao, the governor of the left capital, the military attache of the Ming Dynasty, and Yuan Chonghuan is the secretary of the military department and the right deputy capital of the imperial history. Inspector Ji Liao, but a civil official of the second grade, as a civil official, holding the sword of Shang Fang given by the emperor, without going through the report, directly killed Mao Wenlong, who was also holding the sword of Shang Fang, what kind of behavior is this. ”
"The role of Shang Fang's sword is in a moment of military emergency. When something big happens, you have to deal with it right away. It's too late to play the imperial court, otherwise the military plane will be delayed and it will cause a catastrophe, and besides, holding the sword of Shang Fang, he can only kill officials below the fourth grade, just ask Yuan Chonghuan to kill Mao Wenlong. Under what circumstances. ”
"If the governors and generals of various places handle problems in this way, they advocate and kill civil and military officials on major matters without authorization. As a result, I think that it is a situation of fragmentation and separation, and the consequences are unimaginable. ”
"Second, it has created distrust between officials and officials, between generals and generals, between sergeants and generals."
"Yuan Chonghuan's killing of Mao Wenlong will produce two opinions, one thinks that he is for the country, and the other thinks that he is killing dissidents. Not to mention this understanding, if my civil and military officials, and even sergeants, get along, they have to guard against each other at all times, be fearful, and be on guard against being killed by their superiors or colleagues at any time, then how can they resist foreign enemies and work together. Especially on the battlefield, between the soldiers and soldiers, the basic trust is gone, and such an army needs to be defeated by the enemy, and it will collapse itself. ”
"Third, it has dealt a serious blow to the enthusiasm of civil and military officials."
"No one is perfect, everyone has shortcomings, the best way is to give everyone a chance, not to waste a useful talent, not to let go of an incompetent mediocre person, to give everyone the opportunity to perform and display their talents to the greatest extent, to mobilize everyone's greatest enthusiasm, so that there will be no waste of talent. If there is a trend of indiscriminate killing of officials, the result is that everyone is in danger and dare not do anything, and such a situation has really arisen, I don't know how Lord Huang Dao feels. ”
"Fourth, the emperor is at a loss."
"This is the saddest and most serious consequence. Thinking about how much the emperor trusted Yuan Chonghuan at the beginning, he wanted silver for silver, and he wanted food for food, but what did Yuan Chonghuan do, did he trust the emperor, kill Mao Wenlong, such a big thing, he didn't report it, he just wanted the emperor to trust him, as for whether he trusted the emperor or not, he didn't care, just rely on his own understanding, how chilling this is. ”
"Even between ordinary friends, trust is mutual, no one absolutely trusts the other, trust is never one-sided, this relationship of trust cannot be established."
"Lord Huang, you can put yourself in your shoes, what kind of mentality you have when your most trusted friend betrays you, and even takes advantage of your trust to do whatever you want, but you are helpless."
"To sum up, I think that Yuan Chonghuan should be killed, no matter how great his merits are, and no matter how noble his character is, what he has done has shaken the foundation of the country."
Huang Daozhou's face turned pale, he had never thought of these problems, I don't know what Su Tiancheng, who was young in Lu Dao, would think of for Lu, and these reasons are all able to stand on their feet, up and down, if they really open the atmosphere of killing civil and military officials without authorization, the evil consequences may be more serious than what Su Tiancheng said.
In this way, Huang Daozhou's defense of Qian Longxi is very pale.
"Let's talk about the adult's point of view, that is, filial piety is the foundation of all virtues, from the emperor to the officials, it is not to govern the world with filial piety, this is to consolidate the foundation and strengthen the yuan, so that it can pass through the four seas, light in the sea, and everything."
"I admit that this point of view is correct, but any words must be put into the actual situation, and there is no meaning in shouting it out of empty mouth, and the only thing that can be flaunted is that I am a saint."
"Look at today's Ming Dynasty, there are rogues rebelling inside, disturbing in all directions, harassing the Houjin outside, eyeing the tiger, and more disasters for many years, the people are not living, so far in the autumn of critical survival, the scholar Qingliu, what should be done, is to stand at the height of the sage, point out the country, talk about nothing, only me, take pride in winning reputation, or do things in a down-to-earth manner, and consolidate the foundation of my Ming Dynasty little by little."
"Maybe some people will think that it is a practical utilitarian idea not to be able to make direct remarks, always thinking about gains and losses, civil and military officials or scholars, should care about the survival and decline of the world, let Haoran be full of righteousness between heaven and earth, don't care about small things, do big things."
"This kind of thinking is pathetic, even shameful, living in the real society, but dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Festival, completely ignoring the actual situation, blindly pursuing the so-called high-mindedness, the so-called integrity, this kind of people, just ignore it."
"The evaluation given to this kind of person below is that he is upright and cannot achieve change, he dares to speak bluntly and is broad-minded, and although he is strict with himself, he is not a pillar of talent."
"Civil and military officials, always have their own specialties, there are loyal ministers, there are treacherous villains, and there are more wall grass, fantasizing that all people are humble gentlemen, which is tantamount to a castle in the air, thousands of years of historical development, has demonstrated such a point of view, even if it is the rule of Wenjing, the rule of Zhenguan, there are villains and gentlemen coexist."
"Blindly emphasizing prudence and independence, emphasizing filial piety, is to sacrifice the basics and seek the end, the important thing is the construction of the system, with a perfect system, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs follows the system, is the right way."
"Let's talk about the golden mean, throughout the ages, many ministers, outspoken, and finally in a different place, in addition to winning the history of the famous, what kind of contribution have been made, these people, there is also a commonality, that is, they think that the Manchu Dynasty is all treacherous villains, everywhere are villains, and they are the most loyal, so that they have been excluded by everyone, and heroes are useless."
"I think that this kind of understanding is pathetic, can not be turned around, can not be flexible, as if looking at the world from the perspective of a child, right and wrong, where is it so simple as the mouth, simple and rude things in the world, according to good and bad division, isn't it to the world chaos, can get support, that is a big joke."
"The ancients have long said that those who know the times are heroes, and I would like to add that those who know the times can display their ambitions under difficult conditions, and make great things that are conducive to the development of the country and the prosperity of the people, and can turn the tide, and can change the views and understandings of others with their own behavior and strength, and unite all the forces that can be united, which is the real hero."
After saying so much in one breath, Su Tiancheng stopped, he believed that Huang Daozhou had already understood.
Although it seems very harsh to say his own words, but in the face of a scholar like Huang Daozhou, you say softly, there is no effect, the drum still needs a hammer, only when the hammer hits the depths of Huang Daozhou's heart, will it have a real effect.
People like Huang Daozhou belong to the available talents, do not care about personal gains and losses, and devote themselves to the country, regardless of whether the means are correct or not, this kind of person is precious, and it is a pity to waste it.
Of course, after hearing these words, if Huang Daozhou is still stubborn, still thinking about chasing the reputation of Qingliu, or taking it as his responsibility to make a direct statement, no matter how the situation develops, then he must be ruthlessly rejected, this kind of person, once he becomes an official, will cause greater harm.
Yuan Chonghuan's killing of Mao Wenlong caused a series of incidents, which is a very good example.
After a long time, Huang Daozhou did not speak.
His face was like ashes, and it was obviously difficult to accept Su Tiancheng's statement quickly, no wonder, Su Tiancheng accumulated the understanding after hundreds of years, and many words were pointed to the key places, Huang Daozhou is sharp-toothed, and he is by no means Su Tiancheng's opponent. Besides, many of the understandings thrown out by Su Tiancheng are unheard of by him, and the thinking in his mind is relatively fixed, and it is also a system, once an external force invades, it is extremely painful to slowly break this system.
