Everyone turned their heads to take a look, only to see a person slowly standing up in the back row, it was Lu Konghai, the supervising bachelor. Yang Changqing couldn't help but be stunned when he heard someone refute him, and his words were sharp, and when he saw that the speaker was Lu Konghai, anger suddenly welled up in his heart. But he was very deep in the city, especially in front of Li Guanqi, he didn't want to look at people like Dongfang Rui, because he said lightly: "Lord Lu is serious. The whole world knows that my emperor is heroic and martial, how can he be described as a tyrant? In front of His Majesty and the ministers, you have to make it clear, and don't sit on Yang for this crime. ”

Li Guanqi frowned slightly, and called: "Lu Aiqing, you come to the front, don't accuse others indiscriminately." ”

Lu Konghai slowly walked to the front, stood facing Li Guanqi, opened his mouth to speak, Li Guanqi suddenly smiled and said: "Everyone is sitting, only Lu Qing is independent, isn't everyone drunk and you are sober?" He glared at Xiao Ying, who was standing aside, and said, "Confused thing, what are you still standing there for?" Why don't you hurry up and take a seat for Mr. Lu? ”

Xiao Ying agreed, and hurriedly moved another stool.

Lu Konghai sat down, which happened to be adjacent to Qin Minzhong, opposite Dongfang Rui, Zhao Pu, and Yang Changqing.

Li Guanqi convened a meeting today for officials above the third rank in Beijing, and this room is the lowest grade of Lu Konghai, although as a supervising bachelor, he can attend any meeting as an observer, but after all, he only has the rank of five ranks, so he can only sit at the end.

Li Guanqi felt the need to encourage Lu Konghai, so he said: "Lu Aiqing, as a supervisor bachelor, should be concerned about national affairs, and advise the ministers of the mistakes, including my mistakes. Yang Aiqing, since ancient times, as long as the official is loyal to the monarch and the country, even if there is something inappropriate in his words, it is normal. Isn't that so? ”

The emperor has spoken for Lu Konghai, and Yang Changqing can't show his anger anymore. And what Li Guanqi said is also the truth, Lu Konghai is a bachelor of supervision. is also regarded as a speech official, and a speech official is not guilty of his words, so he can only nod his head in agreement.

With Li Guanqi's support, Lu Konghai continued: "What Lord Yang just said is to let His Majesty be authoritarian and arbitrary. When Qin Shi Huang was in power. I don't want the country to be defeated, such as Yingzheng is known as the first emperor, but I hope that the descendants will be the second and third generations, and the Zuoyun will continue. It is a pity that he used the power of one person to deter his subordinates, enslave the people, and finally lose the country. The precedent is not far away, if Your Majesty follows his story and does it, won't he go to the old road again? ”

Li Guanqi nodded and said, "Not bad." The monarchs of the past regarded the people as fools, and acted in vain, and most of them were defeated. In fact, the people are water, and those in power are boats. If it can adapt to the water potential, the boat will go smoothly; If you go against the current, it is not surprising that the boat capsizes. This is what 'water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat'. ”

Of course, this is not Li Guanqi's original, but what he says now makes the ministers present feel very philosophical.

After hearing this, Lu Konghai stood up again. He waved his hand at Li Guanqi and said, "Your Majesty has this thought, which is really a blessing for the world. For the king, love the people like sons. If you are as good as a stream, why worry that the world cannot be governed? Now after the great turmoil, the people are afraid of power, and it is time to carry out indoctrination. If the top and bottom are concentric, within three years, the world can be governed. ”

Dongfang Rui heard this. I couldn't help it, Huo Di stood up, quoted the scriptures, and said: "After the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, people's hearts gradually thinned, so the Qin Dynasty dedicated the law. The Han Dynasty was overbearing. They want to educate but can't, not because they don't want to educate. Your Majesty, Lu Konghai is a shallow scholar who does not know the current affairs, and if he believes his false arguments, he will ruin the country. ”

Lu Konghai didn't wait for Li Guanqi to answer, and refuted the past on the spot: "The five emperors and three kings are not easy to be transformed into people, and if you do the emperor's way, you will be the emperor, and if you do the king's way, you will be the king. As for what the Oriental adults said that it is not appropriate to educate after the chaos, there are many examples of the opposite, and there are many examples in history. In the past, the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou fought more than 70 battles, and the chaos was very serious. Jiuli chaotic virtue, the levy of the Xuan, both after the defeat, do not lose its transformation; It is chaotic, and the soup is dead, and on the day of the soup, it will be peaceful; There is no way, the king of martial arts will cut it down, become the king's generation, and also cause peace. ”

Lu Konghai's words cited the past and the present, and when he tested the historical books, Li Guanqi was stunned, even Qin Minzhong and Lin Bai nodded again and again, and Dongfang Rui was speechless for a while.

Lu Konghai made persistent efforts and asked rhetorically: "If people are gradually thinned and not as simple as Lord Dongfang said, they should still be known as ghosts, and they would rather be regained and enlightened?" ”

Dongfang Rui suddenly became speechless.

Zhao Pu coughed and said, "Lord Lu's words make some sense. However, in ancient times, after all, it was far away, and if you take the allusions of that time to talk about today's things, cough cough, I'm afraid it's a bit vain. To know the way to govern the country, it is the most realistic, and there is no room for nothingness. ”

Dongfang Rui gratefully cast his eyes at Zhao Pu, the two used to disdain each other, but today they came together.

Lu Konghai teased harshly: "Lord Zhao and Lord Dongfang are both important ministers, and their ability to manage the country is rare. Lord Zhao said that what I just said is a classical story, and it is very old. Then let's talk about the affairs of the previous dynasty, before my great work, the punishment was very severe, and then finally the country was destroyed. After I raised the matter to Taizu, I was broad and benevolent, and many people responded to it. How can this be explained? ”

Zhao Pu was not originally from a genuine Jinshi, and this quotation of scriptures and classics was not what he was good at, and he was immediately speechless by land, air and sea. In fact, he doesn't mean that he agrees with the use of strict laws, but he is just a little unaccustomed to seeing the battle between land, air and sea. I didn't expect to come forward by myself, and I was not an opponent. For a while, he was a little annoyed and angry, and said angrily: "Lu Konghai, you are too arrogant. Your Majesty, are you talking to Shangguan like this? ”

Seeing that the council was about to turn into a debate tournament again, Li Guanqi hurriedly waved his hand to let everyone sit down, stopped their quarrel, and said slowly: "Let the Zhongqing family come here today, I originally hope that everyone will speak freely and endlessly. As long as my heart is towards the country and I say something excessive, I will not pursue it. Zhao Pu, you can talk about the reasoning of the debate, don't use your identity to oppress people, you have to pay attention. ”

Li Guanqi was not very satisfied with the performance of the cabinet today, Qin Minzhong did not speak much, and Dongfang Rui and Zhao Pu felt a little hindered progress.

After thinking for a while, he continued: "As for what to do in order to seek great peace after the chaos? I thought there was some truth in what Lu Aiqing said. If you are tired today, the people are eager to rule the world, which is the desire of the people.

If you educate you, you will be able to get twice the result with half the effort. If the criminal law is used exclusively and the miscellaneous use is domineering, the people will inevitably resist in their hearts, trembling and not knowing what to do.

To govern the world, you can't rely on the power of one person, and you can't do it by relying on the power of the people. It is necessary to make the people want to be of the same mind, and the education is gradually deepened, so as to achieve great governance. (To be continued......)
