Wang Dou's eyes narrowed habitually, Li Banghua's words were quite sinister, how many pits were in one sentence. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

And his casual words are so tricky and ruthless, it can be seen that these people who are in high positions, and even enter the cabinet, are extremely wise in terms of IQ, but it is a pity that they are mostly used in meaningless disputes.

Such people fight with each other, and the damage to the government is very great, which can also explain why the court was chaotic at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

He slowly stood up and looked at Li Banghua, his eyes were quite angry, he shook his head and said: "Banghua Gong, Banghua Gong, you disappointed me, do you know?" ”

He paced down from his position, looked at Li Banghua with his back hand, and scolded: "In terms of age, you can be my grandfather, why are you still so immature?" Don't even know what to say and what not to say? You come with your mouth open, dare to say anything, and you don't think about what the consequences will be? ”

He scolded Li Banghua angrily: "You speak so thoughtlessly, only with a mouthful of pleasure, you are really to blame for being demoted to Xuanfu Town!" What a wretched man must have something to hate! ”

Li Banghua was taught a lesson by Wang Dou for a while, his face was blue for a while, white for a while, and Wang Dou's tone was like his ancestors, and if he was his children and grandchildren, he just trembled when he stood on the ground, his face turned red, and he hissed for a long time before he shouted: "Is Yongning Hou insulting the lower officials? Xiaguan is full of blood......"

"Who knows if it's blood or not?"

Wang Dou unceremoniously interrupted his words and reprimanded: "Heaven punishes people and judges them not by what he says, but by what he does. You say that blue blood is blue blood, how do I know what is going on in your heart? ”

He said, "Say it again." Is blood enough? As a minister, have you ever thought about what your responsibilities are, whether it is the country's social affairs or your personal name? Or is it in your mind that your personal position is more important than the country's social status? ”

He said: "There is a way to eat a trench, grow a wisdom, and that kind of thing, should you ask?" As early as when you were in the middle of the court, you forced Your Majesty and the princes to step down, so they had to demote you. You're here again. What do you want to do, and what can you do? ”

He said, "Is it that if I don't agree with you, you're going to run to the wall and hit the pillar?" Then he got a few words of praise from others, and Li Gongzhen was a loyal minister. He rebuked the thief and died. It dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the king and the thief! And then what. And then there was no more, what was the situation and how it was then! This is your way of being a servant. I just want to fight for a straight name, and I haven't thought about what will happen to the national society? Li Banghua, don't let me look down on you! ”

Wang Dou shouted like a storm again, scolding Li Banghua's mind was confused, he opened his mouth, and he didn't know how to respond for a while.

Let Zhu Zhifeng and Wei Jingyu also be stunned, Wang Dou's deafening voice echoed in their ears, torturing their hearts and whipping their souls.

Ji Shiwei had seen Wang Douling's sharp teeth, but fortunately, Wang Pu and Du Xun looked at Wang Dou in surprise with strange expressions.

Zhong Susu pursed his lips and smiled, Gao Shiyin looked at Wang Dou, and thought: "Damn, when it comes to lip service, the general is more neat than Mr. Qin and Mr. Ye, this is the legendary civil and military shuangquan?" ”

Seeing Li Banghua standing tremblingly on the ground, Wang Dou continued to scold: "There is a way to prosper the country with hard work, and empty talk is to mislead the country!" What does it mean to mislead the country with empty talk? That's you! Talking is just a brain, opening your mouth to come, never thinking about what the consequences will be! You're happy, who will clean up the mess left? It's hard to hear, your behavior is called serious irresponsibility, and it is also called fame and reputation! ”

He said: "You said that you want to be close to the virtuous ministers, far from the villain, and said that I make the best use of the small people and ignore the great sages." If Daxian are people like you, I'd rather not! I'd rather have a few small officials who can do practical things than a lot of clean ministers like you. If there is not enough success and more failure, even Du Xun Du's father-in-law is better at doing things than you people! ”

Du Xun couldn't imagine that Wang Dou's anger was so terrifying, his words were endless, sharp as a knife, and he sat on the throne, a little silent.

Hearing Wang Dou mention himself again, a sense of glory arose, and he couldn't help touching his head and laughing, and said to Zhu Zhifeng, the governor of Xuanfu beside him: "Master Hou is really overrated, so praise our family." ”

Zhu Zhifeng originally got up and went down, but unconsciously, he returned to his seat.

After hearing Du Xun's words, he woke up where he was, he snorted with an ugly face, and didn't bother to pay attention to the triumphant Eunuch Du, but looking at Wang Dou in the hall, he was not thoughtful, and he felt something.

Wang Dou finally said angrily: "A glimpse of the whole leopard, the current court is not a corpse vegetarian, a person who embezzles and accepts bribes, or a guy who does not turn his brain like you, and is full of tendons." Wang can imagine that the situation in the Ming Dynasty will only deteriorate further in the future, and Your Majesty will suffer! ”

Li Banghua's heart was boiling, his internal organs were twitching like oil, and his body was trembling and trembling. In his decades as an official, he has never been reprimanded so sharply, and he is still merciless and leaves no room for face.

Even if there is, it is my own reprimand for others, and it is my turn to know that it is so uncomfortable.

Especially in Wang Dou's mouth, even the eunuch he has always despised is not as good?

He trembled and said with difficulty: "The Marquis of Yongning is not ...... Irresponsible...... Another fame-seeker? ”

Wang Dou looked at him and said in a long voice, "What do you say? What do you think of yourself? ”

Decades of self-cultivation finally calmed Li Banghua's mood slightly, he stiffened his neck, and finally screamed: "Xiaguan thinks that he has a Dan heart, and he is worthy of the emperor's grace, worthy of the Ming Dynasty, and worthy of ......."

Wang Dou said coldly: "I said, God punishes you without punishing your heart, you don't think it's important, the key depends on your behavior!" Tell me yourself, is your behavior, in the cabinet and just now in the hall, beneficial to the country, or harmful? ”

He shouted sternly: "You have gained fame, but who will clean up the mess left behind, is it you, no!" Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Forbidden City! You still say that you didn't lose the emperor's grace? Or say that he is the first to clear his name, who cares about him after I die? The emperor is just a step tool to gain fame on his own! ”

Li Banghua's mind was a mess again, and the opponent in front of him was so difficult. The words were sharp and frightening, and he tried his best to organize his words, and finally he thought of something: "The Marquis of Yongning has not yet replied to the words of the official talent. ”

Wang Dou laughed: "Don't follow me to change the topic, it's too low-level, too pediatric, it's all left over from Wang's play." ”

He slowly retracted his smile, looked at Li Banghua and said, "However, Banghua Gong, I can regret to tell you that I want to answer this question." You're not qualified enough. You and I don't know each other. I didn't see your talent, I didn't see your value, and you didn't get my respect, so this kind of high-level, heart-to-heart, core strategic topic ......"

He glanced at Li Banghua: "How can you let me give you an answer?" ”

Li Banghua's head buzzed. His face was bruised. Echoing in my ears. It is the words "not qualified enough, how can he be virtuous".

Wang Dou continued: "If someone asked me this, I would answer him, but unfortunately he is dead. ”

His eyes flashed with remembrance and sadness. Then he looked at Li Banghua and said coldly: "Also, you ask me a lot, I'll ask you, of course, you don't have to answer, I don't force it." ”

He said: "You keep saying that Emperor Gao treats the gentry preferentially and attaches great importance to scholars, and later it was determined to be the ancestral system, you say, why did Emperor Taizu do this?" ”

Li Banghua finally regained his senses, and his attention to Wang Dou also reached its peak.

He listened to Wang Dou's words, and wanted to say like Wang Dou: "You are not qualified enough for me to answer this." ”

However, in the end, he still had a gloomy face, and said slowly, word by word: "The gentry are the pillars of the country and the foundation of the dynasty, and it is precisely because of the support of scholars that Emperor Taizu was able to expel Hu Lu, restore China, and prosper my Han family again." In view of this, Emperor Gao established the ancestral system. ”

Wang Dou said: "Yes, it is precisely because of the support of the gentry and scholars that Emperor Taizu was able to quickly defeat Meng Yuan, and the Ming Dynasty can also continue to this way, with nearly three hundred years of national fortune." Although Meng Yuan is sharp, he has no luck for a hundred years, and he also ignores the role of scholars! ”

He said, "Indeed, the gentry were the foundation of the kingdom at that time......

He sneered, "But now, how do they do it?" ”

He shouted: "The pillars of your mouth, the foundation of the country, are taking the lead in digging the roots of this country, and they are like insatiable rats, who have hollowed out the walls of the entire country in hundreds of years!" ”

He said: "In the early years of the country, there were nearly 40 million stone in taxes, but now how much is it? It stands to reason that the population is multiplying, and the increase of all kinds of taxes by five or ten times is just leisure, but now, half of the tax loss is getting lower and lower every year, what a joke! ”

He sneered, "Why so? It's the pillars of your mouth who are taking the lead in tax evasion! They use all kinds of means to pass on, conceal, and contribute, and transfer the land tax that should belong to them to others. Where have their gentlemanly manners gone? Usually full of moral articles, for the country and the people, when it comes to interests, if the most greedy businessman is generally baht, what is this called, to be a bitch but also to set up a chaste archway! ”

The clerk in the hall was recording quickly, and he couldn't help but want to applaud, the general was really happy.

Li Banghua, Zhu Zhifeng, Wei Jingyu and others were speechless, their faces turned red, after all, what Wang Dou said was the truth.

Even Wang Pu and Ji Shiwei were a little embarrassed, and Wang Dou scolded them unceremoniously.

Only the shogunate in the hall raised their eyebrows, and many people were applauding loudly, only to feel that the general's words went to their hearts, and everyone of them had paid taxes, so they naturally felt justified, and even thought that Wang Dou scolded well, scolded well, and scolded croakingly.

Wang Dou continued: "There is a strange situation, people who claim to be morally high, and they are often not good things, just like Yan Song and Xu Jie in the Jiajing year. Yan Song deserved it, and his house was raided in the end, which is a good thing. However, his land is more than 20,000 acres, and everyone praises Xu Jie, Xu Ge Lao, the fertile land is as high as more than 200,000 acres, and there are countless shops and industries. He is a cabinet second-assistant, where did he get so many acres? It's really a big mouse, he and Yan Song are the same dog, no one should laugh at anyone, and this strange status quo is the general atmosphere of the pillars! ”

Wang Dou sneered, what he said was also earth-shattering, and many people were stunned, the old man Xu Ge praised him, he couldn't imagine that his ability to make money was so high?

Li Banghua felt a little restless, Wang Dou analyzed them one by one, making him feel naked in front of everyone, but Wang Dou would not let him go, looked at him and said: "It's you Banghua Gong, as a cabinet minister, you have a lot of land in your name, these family properties, you have to pay taxes according to the system?" You claim to be the country and the people, and you are also the minister of Qingliu, why don't you take the lead and stand up, set an example, pay the land tax that should be paid, and really contribute to the saints? Or do you serve the country and the people, just talking about it? ”

Li Banghua's face was extremely ugly, but Wang Dou pressed forward step by step, and did not let him go at all: "You said that the gentry are the pillars of the country, and the foundation of the dynasty is good, but they have lived up to Emperor Gao's expectations!" You, like Li Banghua, also lived up to Emperor Gao's expectations! ”

He shouted, "Answer me!" Touch your conscience and answer me, have you also become one of the rats? ”

Li Banghua was speechless, just bowed his head and said nothing, seeing that Li Banghua couldn't get off the stage, Wei Jingyu, the governor of Datong, couldn't help but defend him: "Master Hou, please don't be harsh, according to the lower officials, Li Gong is honest and honest, and he is also very strict with his family, but he is just ......"

He sighed: "This is the accumulation of defects in the past dynasties, how can it be irreparated by individuals?" How many heroes in the past dynasties have broken their heads and bled for this, and their bodies have died and their families have been wiped out. ”

He sighed and said: "The dynasties have risen and fallen because of this, and this is the number of qi.

Wang Dou said calmly: "It's not a number of qi, it's really artificial." ”

He said, "With great power comes great responsibility!" The gentry and wealthy families of previous dynasties, they occupied ninety percent of the financial resources of the country, but they did not want to take a little responsibility. They are selfish, greedy and stupid, in other words, they are spoiled and treated too favorably. There is a saying that sticks produce filial piety, and spoiling comes out of gentleness. Any good person, if he is treated preferentially, will eventually become an abomination, this is the result of human nature, and it is useless to read the books of saints! ”

Wang Dou said: "These wealthy gentry are constantly digging the foundation of the country, and every two or three hundred years, they are dug up, which is also the reason for the rise and fall of the previous dynasties. If these pillars are willing to shoulder their responsibilities, they will not say that they will last for a long time, and they will have a thousand years of national fortune, just waiting for leisure! ”

Li Banghua finally raised his head, he slowly looked at Wang Dou, and said in a deep voice: "The Marquis of Yongning is so disdainful of the gentry, it seems that there will be no need for scholars and scholars in the future?" ”

For some reason, he felt a faint relief in his heart.

Wang Dou laughed, he looked at Li Banghua and said with a smile: "I disappointed Banghua Gong, I not only want to use it, but also use it!" ”

He pointed to his subordinates in the hall: "The importance of the scholar, how can I not know it?" So when I was in Jingbian Fort, I asked my subordinates to read and write, and now in my army, everyone can write and calculate, and even my subordinate Gao Shiyin ......"

He pointed at Gao Shiyin and said with a smile: "Don't look at his five big and three thick, his level is enough to be compared with Xiucai, and in my Jingbian army, there are at least tens of thousands of soldiers!" ”

Gao Shiyin was honored to stand up and greeted Li Banghua: "Banghua Gong, you have time to chant poetry together." ”

Li Banghua's face was like ashes, and Wang Dou continued: "And my generals, my soldiers, and my staff, they are all gentlemen and gentry, and they all own a lot of land, and under my command is a new type of armed force composed of landlords, gentry, and students. ”

Looking at Li Banghua, Wang Dou smiled: "The difference is that they all have their own responsibilities, they are the real pillars of the country, they are the hope of this country, and they are also the hope of this land." They will be devastated, and nothing will stop them from moving! ”

The cheers rang out, and Wang Dou continued: "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, I don't mind giving the corresponding status to those who have wealth, but what is required is that they bear their due responsibility!" ”

Wang Dou bowed deeply to the hall: "Gentlemen, it is an honor for my king to be able to work side by side with you!" ”

The cheers in the hall rang out again, and Li Banghua and the others were lost and speechless. (To be continued.) )
