Chapter 190: Tearing the True Colors of Loyal Ministers

In ancient times, jealousy of the virtuous was a very ugly crime, and jealousy of the virtuous was very hated by anyone, because anyone who had some ability would call themselves "virtuous", and even many emperors advocated the choice of virtuous ability. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info selection of meritocracy is an important morality, although in fact it is not entirely the case, but in any era the selection of meritocracy is to make people feel excellent, those who are jealous of meritocracy can not say clearly even what they do, jealousy of meritocracy can be very hated, which also made him Chen Kang immediately angry. So this statement must be refuted, otherwise his future in this life will be ruined.

"Chen Kang, I am absolutely not wrong when I say that you are jealous. I have made achievements and attracted the people to come over, and you actually asked the emperor to abolish this policy, what kind of heart do you have? Shi Bufan asked.

"I'm also for Datang, for the stability of my Datang!" Chen Kang said.

But Shi Bufan replied coldly again: "You keep saying that it is for the stability of the Tang Dynasty, but this is just an excuse for you to be jealous of your ability." Zi said that when he saw the virtuous, he thought about it, and when he saw the unvirtuous, he introspected himself. I have made achievements, but you keep saying that for the sake of my Datang stability, you want to fly out of this policy. But have you thought about the people? They came here because of my good policy, and can't other county orders follow suit? As long as they are willing to follow the change and find a way to formulate some policies that are kind to the people, then the other people will also be willing to stay. This kind of policy of benefiting the people and benefiting the people, as long as you are willing to think about it, it can be come up with, and it is not difficult! ”

"Also, even if you really can't think of it, why don't you just copy a copy of my medical mutual aid plan and go back and implement it? Anyway, this medical mutual aid doesn't need a penny from the government, the government just plays a coordinating role, and the real wealth is still in their hands, but it exists in this money bank as a safekeeping and obtains some relatively low interest. Don't look at this interest, maybe a year's interest is enough to help several more people. Therefore, this policy of benefiting the people, as long as you are willing to think about it, you can come up with it. I really can't think of learning from me, and I can keep people by copying a copy directly. ”

"But because of my achievements, you actually want to suppress me and ask me to abolish good policies? In order to cater to those lazy officials, they are just lazy themselves, are they not allowed to take the initiative to benefit the people? If they are really willing, they can take the initiative to find a way to retain people, instead of letting you chirp here and say what is detrimental to the peace of my Datang? You're making excuses for those lazy officials, you're making excuses for their lazy government, and then I, a virtuous person, have made achievements, and they don't think about how they let the people drain themselves. Instead of thinking about how to formulate good policies to retain the people, they blamed me for the crime? How can it be reasonable to blame others for being too smart for your own incompetence? ”

"What can you be if you're not jealous? According to your meaning, if a general wins a battle and kills more enemies, but other generals kill fewer enemies, do you want to hide this general from the snow and prevent him from going to war? Could it be that in order to take care of the vast majority of mediocre talents, it is also to stifle the virtuous ability? How can this be unreasonable, what can you be jealous of a virtuous person who is not a red fruit? ”

Shi Bufan began to spray directly, what did this Chen Kang say Shi Bufan made achievements, and then let the population loss from all over the country be concentrated in this Wannian County, which will make Datang unstable, which is actually a false proposition. Shi Bufan made achievements to attract the people, and it actually became a crime. This is actually that those magistrates do not think about how to benefit the people, and adopt lazy management methods, as long as the people do not take the initiative to demand, they are not willing to deal with things. They don't have the initiative to work for the benefit of the people, and if something happens, they won't choose to take the initiative to manage.

This grassroots officialdom of Datang is completely stagnant, they don't think about how to take the initiative to work, but are timid and afraid all day long. It's like a school of sardines, which will inevitably suffocate to death when transported over a long distance, so some people put some catfish in to stir and make them have to move. Although this so-called sardine and catfish is impossible, because sardines are saltwater fish, catfish are freshwater fish, catfish cannot survive in seawater. However, this statement has been coming from a long time, but aside from the difference between saltwater fish and freshwater fish, there is also some truth in it.

These grassroots county officials in the ancient officialdom of the Tang Dynasty were all sardines who were too lazy to move, did not know or even wanted to serve the people, did not think about how to take the initiative to improve the people's livelihood, and always relied on the sky to eat, and only when collecting taxes were the most active. However, Shi Bufan made achievements, which made them feel that their survival was threatened, they felt that Shi Bufan had formulated good policies, and the people under their rule had migrated to Shi Bufan. They feel threatened, but instead of thinking about how to reflect on themselves and how to formulate better policies, they hope to have more chances of survival by stifling and suppressing the extraordinary.

"So, if you don't think about how to let other magistrates learn from me, but here you hope to suppress and stifle my good policies, so that other magistrates can continue to be lazy and lazy, then my Datang is a pool of stagnant water, hopeless! Therefore, it is really unreasonable for you to be like this, you are the real jealous and jealous! You defend these lazy officials, and even suppress me, a diligent man, what can that be without jealousy? You have the money of the court, but you don't know how to work hard, and you take the money but don't do it, you guys are really unreasonable. Shi Bufan directly reprimanded.

That Chen Kang felt that he had been slapped in the face again, and this Shi Bufan directly criticized him for being lazy, which was also an important crime. If you take the court's money, then you are lazy, then this is your fault. Of course, lazy government is not without reason, and the social atmosphere of this era is also like this, proud of idleness, ashamed of hard work. Immersing oneself in hard work belongs to the "turbid official", but he talks about it every day, and then takes a rich salary, so that he is a real clean official and a good official. Those who work hard, with relatively less money, have ten times more hearts than those clean officials, but they are still looked down upon.

Therefore, many people are proud of being "clean officials", and even many people actually think that being a clean official means being lazy in government, which is one of the reasons why everyone is unwilling to work hard. This kind of Tang Dynasty was actually ashamed of hard work, which was unimaginable in later generations. Hard work is a model of a good official in later generations, but at a time when there are still many relics of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it is simply to work hard to maintain it, and to be proud of clean talks. One can imagine how much attention such officials can put into working for the benefit of the people.

"I am also loyal to the emperor, and it is the emperor who gave me a ......" Chen Kang said this, and he felt less confident.

"Your money comes from taxes. Where does the tax come from, it comes from the rent of the people. And you don't think about how to take the initiative to work for the welfare of the people, but here you defend the so-called lazy officials, but want to let the people go back to a worse life, is this how you treat your parents? Shi Bufan slammed again.

Chen Kang hurriedly said: "I am loyal to the emperor, I am loyal to the emperor, I am upright and I ......."

"On weekdays, I talk about my heart and mind, and I will repay the king when I die!" Shi Bufan said sarcastically.

"......" Chen Kang was speechless, what he said was that it was useless to directly scold this Chen Kang!

Shi Bufan said again: "You say you are loyal to the emperor, but what use are you?" Have you done anything other than squirting here? You didn't do anything practical, so you just sprayed around here, and you didn't let others do things. What else do you have but loyalty? You are full of what a country is not a country, and what righteous banner you are holding up to scold people. But do you have any solution to the problem? Do you have the ability to plan for the emperor? Do you have the decisiveness of Du Shangshu? Do you have Li Jingshangshu's ability to lead troops to fight and strategize? You don't have anything, you just squirt everywhere and bite everywhere. You can't do anything, you pride yourself on being loyal, but you don't do anything on weekdays. When the crisis comes, you repay the king with your life. But is your life worth much? If you die, the crisis will be resolved? If you die and the crisis is resolved, you still have such a small effect. But once you die, once you don't change, what is the value of your life? ”

Chen Kang still wanted to quibble, and said: "I am extremely loyal to the emperor, I only need to die!" ”

"Haha, do you think martyrdom is good? The most terrible thing is incompetent loyalty, what is the use of having loyalty alone but in fact having no ability at all? Shi Bufan asked rhetorically.

Shi Bufan thinks that this kind of thinking is very dangerous, the so-called "one loyalty covers a hundred ugliness", many people think that loyalty to the country and the nation, that is, a good person, is a good person through and through. Many people even say that more than 100,000 people committed suicide by jumping into the sea together in Yashan in the Southern Song Dynasty, and those scholars who resisted the Qing Dynasty in the last years of the Ming Dynasty were loyal to the country and the nation. But just look at who caused such a consequence, who caused such an outcome, to know how cheap their so-called loyalty is. If it weren't for them, would the country have decayed to this point? If it weren't for their foolishness, would the country have encountered this crisis in the end? When the country is faced with a crisis, instead of thinking about how to fight the enemy, they are fighting among themselves. As a result, the enemy is in front of you, and you can't do anything, only suicide can be regarded as saving your reputation. But in fact, all this is the result of their own making, but they later chose to commit suicide, and one became a model of patriotism and loyalty.

If you are really patriotic, then where did you go before? There were so many chances to save the country before, where did you guys go? Only when the crisis comes, suicide is used to "serve the country", but those who really work hard to save the country have been annihilated in history, these incompetent and only have a loyal heart, others have nothing, and the fools who are good at putting on a show have left their names in history and become a model of patriotism.

"Loyalty alone, even if you are willing to die for the country, you have put those who have worked hard to maintain the foundation of the country and work for the welfare of the people? Are they not more faithful than you? It's just that they don't say, they do. Those of you who claim to be clean officials, one by one, say what loyalty you say here, but in the end, you only have this life to repay the country, so is it still useful at this time? When you die, will the enemy retreat? If you die, will the rebellion stop? So don't talk about loyalty in this kind of chatter, you don't deserve it! Loyalty is not about what you say, but what you do. ”

"As for saying that you are dying to report the king, hahahaha......"

Shi Bufan's words directly made Chen Kang's words tremble, he had always advocated that in times of crisis, he could repay the king with death, and martyrdom as a model of loyalty. But Shi Bufan's words directly tore apart the true face of these so-called "loyal ministers", and the reason why they chose to commit suicide and martyrdom was because they were "incompetent" in their bones. They talk about righteousness on weekdays, and they talk about loyalty and patriotism all day long, but they can't really do anything and solve any problems. It is impossible to appease the people, to lead troops to fight, and to expel foreign enemies. If you can't do anything practical, you will drag those who are willing to do something practical back. These guys sell their reputation, as if they are loyal to the country with death? Even this kind of guy has brought very wrong values to future generations, thinking that those who are willing to die are those who are loyal to the country. If you "don't die", then no matter how great your merits are, they will be cheap. It's ridiculous that so many people who are willing to live, who work hard for the fate of the country and the nation, end up making their exploits something cheap because they did not "die". On the contrary, those who are incompetent and incompetent have become loyal people because of their "death".

I don't know how many people have been harmed by this kind of wrong values, and I think that as long as I die a martyrdom, I am loyal. On the contrary, people who work hard for the country and the nation, in the end, because they do not die, they will become cheap.

"Although for the individual, life is the most precious. But for a country, a life is the cheapest! You died incompetently and did not contribute anything to this country, you are lighter than a feather. This is the true face of your so-called loyal ministers, you are dead but you are known in history as loyal people, but it cannot cover up the fact that you are incompetent! If it weren't for you incompetent, lazy and lazy people, how could the country be like this? You fellows repay you with death, but in the end you become a model of loyalty. Those who wipe your ass for you are incomparably more inexpensive. But in my opinion, those who have not died are a hundred times more loyal than those of you who are incompetent and can only choose to commit suicide when the time comes. ”

"Your Majesty, if I want to be prosperous in the Tang Dynasty and dominate the world, I must first blast away these loyal and righteous people who open and close their mouths, but in fact, they have no ink."

"Otherwise, my Datang is full of such loyal and incompetent people, and in the end, I want the country to be the country!"

Shi Bufan finally said the same, obviously he thinks that doing practical things is countless times more important than "retribution with death" for incompetence. (To be continued.) )
