Xu Jingchun knew that this person couldn't be saved, and he didn't have any mercy, because this person was not brought out by him, and he didn't have any feelings, so he immediately knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to atone for his sins, and personally clear out the door of this person who broke the rules of the Supervision Department!" ”

Lu Chengqi didn't nod or shake his head, but he seemed to be talking to himself: "I set up the Supervision Department in order to supervise hundreds of officials and put an end to corrupt and mediocre officials. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoWhen I saw it today, I realized that the Supervision Division, which I regarded as my eyes and ears, dared to attack my people, which was really bold! I'm wondering if there is still a need for such a corrupt Supervision Department to exist, and whether I should abolish the Supervision Department just now, so as not to cause a catastrophe in the future! ”

Xu Jingchun was really panicked now: "Your Majesty, your majesty is not strict......

Lu Chengqi shook his head and said, "It's not Xu Qing's problem, it's a problem of human nature." Those who have power in their hands want to exchange that power for money; Those who have money in their hands want to exchange money for power, and this has been the case since ancient times. I asked myself, compared with all the dynasties, the officials of Dashun are the highest, enough to support a family, and they are more than rich, why do you still have to stretch out your hand? That thing is really harmful! ”

In terms of eloquence, Lu Chengqi may be far behind Huo Si, but from the emperor's point of view, it is extremely shocking to say this. "He who has power in his hands wants to exchange that power for money; People who have money in their hands want to exchange money for power, since ancient times, this is not the case", it simply shows the law of eternity, which is probably human nature. This time, everyone present was convinced and said together: "Your Majesty Shengming! ”

"I am not a holy person, and there is no holy person in the world. The Holy Man is born to know. If I lose my eyes and ears, I am like a deaf and blind man. Lu Chengqi said slowly, "If I am a saint, then all officials are ordinary people, and everyone can discipline and fear the law, and dare not be greedy, dare not do not act, and dare not ******." When I think about it, it should be a question of human nature. Maybe Xunzi is right, human nature is evil, if there is no law, it can become a beast. Even a saint cannot influence him. ”

Everyone pondered for a long time, most of them were small people in the Star Dou, and they had never thought about why officials should be greedy. But they all understand one thing, in the imperial court, the number of clean officials is the least, the mediocre officials are second, and the corrupt officials are the most. Except for the Qingming Dynasty, which is probably the case. Therefore, the Chinese have always had a tradition of worshipping officials, and no matter what kind of history and background a person has, or what kind of dishonorable experience he has, as long as he eventually becomes an official, he is worthy of respect. It can be described as the winner, the prince, and the loser. The immoral experiences and inappropriate things before becoming an official have also become glorious and vivid after becoming an official. For example, Liu Bei is just a mat weaver, Zhu Yuanzhang is just a mountain thief, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are just a migrant worker, and Liu Bang is just a warehouse keeper. However, once these people become officials, they immediately show their differences, and they are respected and touted by everyone. Even, once molested a woman from a good family, and a young girl, it will become a romantic affair!

The Chinese worship officials from the bones. No matter how many good deeds you have done, how many splendid articles you have written, how much money you have earned, or how famous you are, as long as you are not an official and have no power, you will not be truly respected. Those respects are just a superficial article, a kind of entertainment discourse, for everyone to see, to fool people, to give to the dead, to be sealed by later generations, and when it comes to the critical moment, you are basically equal to a p. is like Liu Yong, who is famous, but he is not an official, in front of the official, he is not even a p, let others pinch it round and flatten.

When the people faced the officials, they were more afraid. It is difficult for ordinary people to really calm down in the face of officials, let alone face to face, look at each other, and communicate on an equal footing. Chinese have a natural fear of officials. No matter who you are, no matter how old you are, no matter what kind of ups and downs you have experienced in life, as long as an official comes, you will have a sense of tension and a sense of trembling, especially your immediate boss.

But the common people are envious of the officials, Liu Bang saw the huge canopy of Qin Shi Huang and the team of people who hugged and shouted, and said with envy: "The big husband should be like this." The people said that it was good to be an official, and to be an official could wear four bags of jackets; It's good to be an official, and it's good to be a function. What the people envy is that a person has power, beauty, and status, and even more flattery from everyone. Therefore, a person, once he becomes an official, must do everything possible to maintain his rule, preferably forever, forever, forever...... This is why it is difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son, and the family gate valve endured for a long time, until the imperial examination appeared, which made it fall apart. And Lu Chengqi stepped up his efforts and blocked a series of backdoor channels such as "Door Shade" and "Nasu", which can be regarded as a little fair. But true fairness is never to be found. Where can the education of the children of an official family be the same as that of ordinary people? This is why Lu Chengqi vigorously develops Mongolian and official schools, because it is cheap, everyone can go to it!

In addition, the people still have a deep jealousy of those who are officials, and being an official is the real way to success, and everything else is just a cloud of smoke. As the saying goes, learning is excellent, and the ultimate goal of learning is to be an official. The ultimate goal of making money is also to be an official. The ultimate goal of being famous is to be an official. Because, without official position, there is no respect. Zhang San next door suddenly became an official, except for flattering people who came to visit, those who studied with him and those who were not allowed to be officials were full of jealousy. Human nature is eternal and unchanging.

Finally, the people hated the rulers. After becoming an official, no matter how many grand wishes and ambitions he made before, in the mixed officialdom, with the passage of time, they have become floating clouds. How many people can maintain their original intentions after becoming officials? Even if there are, there are few. The environment changes people, and people are changing the environment, but the direction is getting worse and worse. It is because the officials and the people are two different classes, and the officials can never get along with the people, because the classes are inherently different. If they want to do something for the people, except for the spontaneous kindness of the people, there are very few people who can be self-disciplined. Guan Zhong, a great statesman of Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period, once said: "Governing officials and turning the people into officials must be on top." It means that the key to managing officials and educating the people lies in the monarch, which is the iron law of the king's period.

At this time, the scholar in a Confucian robe stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the people have tried to read the "Great Shun Law", but if the officials are corrupt and desecrated, those who have more than money will be exiled to the ......army" (to be continued.) )
