Li Ran, the middle of the imperial history, also fell into silence at this moment. The useless impeachment of the Pen, Fun, www.biquge.info and Pavilion over the past few days has caused many imperial officials to retreat. The Yushitai, which was originally based on interests, suddenly seemed to have collapsed and disintegrated, and even Li Ran felt a little uncontrollable.

The rest of the officials were also silent. Holding the morning wart, it seems that there is a picture of a lady on it. Look intently. Lu Chengqi sat on the dragon chair, seemingly silent, but he saw the demeanor of the hundreds of officials below in his eyes one by one. Everyone's words, Lu Chengqi pondered more than twice, no way, he was not very sensitive to power schemes, only in this way can he understand a little bit of the other information hidden in the words of these officials.

Are these officials under the truth dedicated to serving the country? Which one is not sanctimonious, but in fact, the inner selfishness is heavier than anyone else? Daily intrigue, calculating this, calculating that, Lu Chengqi is a fledgling hairy boy, even if he is in power, it is not impossible to be toyed with and applauded by them.

At this time, Hubu Shangshu Lin Zhenzhong stood up and spoke, only to hear him say: "The minister wants to impeach Li Ran, the middle of the imperial history, for unprovoked telling of right and wrong, and slandering the good minister of the country." As we all know, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Huang Xishi Huang is a veteran of the two dynasties, all his life is dedicated to the public, conscientious, and there has never been any omission. In the mouth of the imperial history, he became a chaotic minister and thief, and if he didn't get rid of it, he would be as if he was sorry for the people of Dashun Limin. Such a narrow-minded person, in a high position, or the highest official, is really a big stain on the Dashun court! ”

With the support of a Shangshu, the officials below stood up one after another to speak for Huang Xishi, it was nothing more than that Li Ran was too harsh and forced a veteran of the two dynasties who was over seventy years old to become seriously ill. When Huang Xishi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was another book, and it was forced to this point, if some officials who did not have the support of the township party and colleagues were targeted by the Yushitai. Is it not every day that there is no daylight? Whether out of sympathy or sadness, these officials jumped out one after another and complained about Huang Xishi.

Lu Chengqi looked at the expressions and words of these people one by one. I listened to it in my heart, but there was still no expression on the surface. He knew that this was not the time for him to make a final decision, the mastermind behind the scenes had not yet emerged, and Li Ran was just a fool who was used as a gunman. I think I have a strong backbone. But he didn't know what he was doing, which seriously affected the normal operation of a court. Lu Chengqi alone has suppressed a lot of twists and turns these days and has not reviewed them, which are all the sequelae brought about by this turmoil.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Lu Chengqi wanted to see how the cabinet system he founded would work when he was lazy. It turns out. The cabinet system is still good, after all, the freshness is still there, and these cabinet ministers can be regarded as dedicated. There are more and more things to be done with daily tickets, and there are fewer and fewer things to give to Lu Chengqi. All this is enough to show that this is a kind of progress.

These officials are arguing hotly in the Daqing Palace, and the situation is completely one-sided. Li Ran also knew that he seemed to have stabbed a hornet's nest. But he is not afraid, there is only one belief in the brains of these brainless people, that is, moderation.

Over here. To pull out what the mean is, it is not what modern people think, to seek a compromise and balance in one thing, not radical or conservative, not disobedient and not peaceful. With ease, left and right, it is said to be the study of seeking officials and getting rich and the art of self-preservation with a deep taste of Chinese culture. Later generations often ridiculed others for not understanding the "mean", to the effect that they blamed him for being rash or conservative, frank or wooden. In short, "moderation" is used on others, it is difficult to find a fluttering taste, and even becomes synonymous with not knowing how to be harmonious and flexible. Clumsy and dull like Lu Chengqi, if he is not careful, he will go sideways, and he often laughs at himself because he does not know the way of the "mean".

And reborn in this life, Lu Chengqi read "The Mean", only to figure out what the mean is, this is a great word in ancient times, was posthumously regarded by the ancients as the highest moral realm, to the Song Dynasty, this word was misinterpreted, and slowly evolved into what we call the mean in later generations. In fact, the original meaning of the mean is not like this, but has three meanings.

The first layer of meaning: it is not easy to be biased and mediocre. It refers to not deviating from one's set goals in life and not changing one's opinions. Just like Li Ran, even though thousands of people spit on him, he insists on his own point of view, which is a rare and valuable idea. It's a pity that he insisted on the wrong direction, and there were mostly such guardians in ancient times, who led by example all their lives and interpreted what the golden mean is. Confucius said: "The golden mean is virtue, and it is the best!" The people have been around for a long time. It means that the morality of moderation should be the highest, and everyone has been lacking it for a long time.

The second meaning: refers to neutrality and peace. This is Lu Chengqi's own realization, he believes that it is necessary to maintain neutrality and peace, if you lose neutrality, peace must be too much joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, only happiness is the only way to cure anger, and the way to keep etiquette lies in respect. This is the highest example of respecting the old and loving the young and maintaining peace of mind for thousands of years.

The third level of meaning is the highest meaning of the golden mean, which refers to the meaning of good, and the meaning of mediocrity, that is, the meaning of medium use. It means that people should have a skill and be a useful talent; It also means that people should stick to their posts and seek their positions in their positions. Although Li Ran insisted on the wrong direction, he adhered to the golden mean and did not know how to be flexible, and he also had a source. People like Li Ran generally read the book of death and admit the reason of death, and the truth they believe is very persuadable.

The mean is generally good, but when it is mixed with politics, it becomes tasteless. Therefore, Confucius can only be a saint, not a savior, nor a politician, this is the truth. Lu Chengqi did not mean to belittle Confucius, he was a very great thinker, even if ordinary people could not understand one or two truths in their lifetime, he realized the thoughts of the entire Chinese nation.

Confucianism is generally good, Lu Chengqi admitted, but unfortunately if you blindly respect Confucianism, you will lose the charm of Confucianism. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Confucianism was not the most popular, and even in the Han Dynasty, it was not popular. If it weren't for the idea of heaven and man's induction, I'm afraid that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would not have accepted Confucianism and respected Confucianism alone. In the war-torn Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the soldier was the way to survive, the Legalist was the way of the king, and the soldier and the Legalist were equally important, and the Qin State won the world.

Lu Chengqi always believed that the Chinese nation should not only have Confucianism, but also need other ideas, such as soldiers, Legalism, Taoism, Buddhism, and Moism...... As long as there is a shining point, as long as you are not rebellious or anti-human, these ideas should be the wealth of mankind and the crystallization of Han thoughts.

The time of the Dynasty was spent in the crusade against the Imperial Historical Terrace, and it was nearly noon, the Imperial Historical Observatory was scolded bloody, and after Lu Chengqi was surrounded in the past few days, Lu Chengqi announced his retirement from the Dynasty, and by the way, the imperial doctor went to Huang Xishi's mansion to see a doctor for him. Lu Chengqi saw the sudden reversal of the situation in the court, and even had some doubts, was this old man Huang old and deliberately pretending to be sick to avoid this turmoil? Otherwise, how could he have fallen ill at this juncture? (To be continued.) )
