"It's fun, it's fun!"

Li Jibo patted his thigh and laughed.

"Lord Wang, for thousands of years, I'm afraid that no one dares to debate like this except for the Jixia School Palace back then!"

Wu Kaijie shook his head and said: "Even the Jixia School Palace does not have this courage, don't forget that we are in front of the emperor, directly reprimanding the king, this courage has never been seen in the eternal, happy!" ”

They said proudly, but their eyes fell on Gu Zhenhua, but they found that this prince seemed to be indifferent and didn't care at all.

"Lord Wang, you don't think the scolding is not cruel enough, do you? With Huang Zongxi's words, if it is too much, he will directly pull the emperor out and use the knife! ”

Gu Zhenhua put down the tea bowl in his hand and smiled slightly: "In the end, it's just a monkey show, can't it be true?" ”

Li Jibo's goatee swayed back and forth, and he said angrily: "If this is a monkey show, the old man doesn't know what can enter the eyes of the prince!" ”

"Hahaha, Mr. Li, what's the use of the emperor scolding hard? Isn't there also a Haigang Peak in this dynasty? Tinkering, it's no longer interesting, what must be reflected on is the state system that began with Qin Shi Huang! It is not difficult to see that a person is sick, but it is not easy to cure this disease! ”

Li Jibo and Wu Kaijie glanced at each other, to be honest, they thought that Gu Zhenhua released Huang Zongxi in order to attack the imperial power, and the purpose was naturally to replace him, but listening to the meaning of Gu Zhenhua's words, it was not the case at all, which was too incomprehensible!

"Lord Wang, from the three emperors and five emperors, there have always been emperors. Just like the stars in the sky, naturally! ”

"Mr. Li, the stars are constantly changing. It's just that we're too far away to see it! Gu Zhenhua said: "If you have the intention to usurp the throne and attack the Ming Emperor, why aim your firepower at the imperial power of the past dynasties!" ”

Wu Kaijie nodded: "Lord Wang, do you really have a prescription for curing diseases?" ”

"Well, in the final analysis, it's just a restraint of power, and since the Qin and Han dynasties, there have always been checks and balances in the imperial court. Take this dynasty, for example. Internal and external containment, there is a cabinet, there is a celebrant supervisor. There are brocade guards, there are east factories, interlocking. basically eliminates the possibility of being a minister, and it is as strong as Zhang Juzheng. It's just with the help of Empress Dowager Li and the power of the Inner Court. In the final analysis, the queen mother and the eunuch are just variants of imperial power. In this containment system, only the imperial power fell outside. With a final arbiter who can make the final decision on life and death, the so-called checks and balances are worthless. ”

Li Jibo listened carefully and said: "That's right, what the Ming courtiers are fighting for is just the saint's family, with this addition, even a minor official can be invincible." The rules of the court have been frequently broken, and the so-called law is just the mind of the king alone! ”

Yan Yingyuan, who was sitting at the end, frowned and said, "Lord Wang." Speaking of which, the courtiers are not the emperor's pawns, and there are many iron-clad officials in the Ming Dynasty. For example, Hai Rui stabbed Jun directly, and some people were beaten and even killed. The world is so big, not the king alone can have the final say, it has always been the scholars and the king who rule the world together! ”

Gu Zhenhua smiled slightly: "It's just a trick to deceive people." It is true that the scholar group and the imperial power are opposites, but they are also in the same group. The emperor had unfettered privileges, as did the gentry. Like a pagoda, the emperor stood at the top, unrestrained, and the courtiers and scholars prostrate at the emperor's feet. Underneath them are hundreds of millions of people! The advice of the scholars and officials is only so that the system does not collapse and they can continue to enjoy their privileges! ”

Hearing such shocking remarks, several people present were dumbfounded.

If you think about it carefully, it does make sense, but no matter how you think about it, it's a little uncomfortable. Wu Kaijie was the first to break the silence, and said thoughtfully: "Lord Wang, the Shiren Group you are talking about, does it not include us?" ”

"Including, this king still wants to take your dog's head to sacrifice the flag!"

"Ahh

Wu Kaijie's legs were weak and he almost fell to the ground.

"Lord Wang, the humble position is loyal to you, when Huang Zongxi wrote the book, the minister was also doing his best, can you ......"

"It's done, let's get down to business!" Gu Zhenhua said: "I just got the information, eight Mongolian princes entered Beijing and conspired with Dolgon, based on the calculation of this king, the decisive battle between the Tartars and us is coming soon." The king is confident that the old capital will be restored, but after the war is over, what should the system of the dynasty be? Is it to return to the original track of the Ming Dynasty, do we be a loyal minister, or do we usurp the throne and become the founding emperor of a dynasty? ”

Gu Zhenhua paced lightly and said with a wry smile: "I really don't want my children and grandchildren to be bullied like this!" From now on, we will start to discuss and come up with a truly feasible plan, jump out of the vicious circle of rise and fall and chaos, and truly let China prosper forever! ”

As an emperor, this is probably the limit of what can be imagined! But Gu Zhenhua actually thought further and wanted to create a grand event for the ages, and these big men were also enthusiastic.

Li Jibo said with a smile: "The prince is a big planner, and although he is a dull person, he is also willing to do his best for the prince!" ”

Yan Yingyuan thought for a while and asked, "Lord Wang, what do you think the future court should be?" ”

"Equality, rule of law!"

Gu Zhenhua spit out these four words without hesitation: "Only by eliminating privileges, including the privileges of the emperor and the privileges of scholars, can everyone be equal and the talents of all people can be stimulated." Strict law, from the lord of a country to the common people, everyone is equal before the law. The various departments of the imperial court have divided powers, checks and balances, and cooperated with each other. With the cabinet as the core, the cabinet is formed by selecting the officials of the feudal territory, discussing together in case of trouble, voting by a show of hands, and the minority obeys the majority. The formation of the decision emperor is not vetoed either! ”

When a few people heard this, they understood why Gu Zhenhua said that the debate just now was just a monkey show! It turns out that this person wants to completely reverse what has been taken for granted for thousands of years, what is it to scold the emperor, and even the Confucian patriarchal system must be completely abandoned, this is the real big deal!

Wu Kaijie couldn't help but ask: "Lord Wang, the authority of the cabinet is so heavy, what if they break the law?" ”

"That's what everyone needs to discuss! Anyway, we have the time. ”

Gu Zhenhua suddenly had a lazy smile on his face, and said: "Set up a special forum in front of the Academy of Sciences, and welcome people of insight from all over the world to debate together, no matter what you say, even if it is to scold this king, you will never be held accountable." I don't believe that with the wisdom of the people of the world, we can't find a suitable way! ”

There were not a lot of lectures and debates in the Ming Dynasty, but almost all of them were academic, what kind of mind and science disputes, what sages have hearts and no hearts, good and evil and other mysterious things.

Scholars are all drunk, but no one dares to face the real problems of this country. Gu Zhenhua's order completely changed the situation. More and more scholars gathered in Kaifeng, and there was a traditional scholar who was dedicated to defending the way of the sage, and they soon gathered under the door of Fan Keqin and others.

The deviant young people on the other side gathered around Huang Zongxi, forming two opposing factions. In addition to them, there are also a group of bureaucrats involved, which is mainly instructed by Gu Zhenhua, and they talk more about all kinds of shortcomings from a practical point of view.

Then Song Yingxing, Tang Ruowang, Wu Youke and others also frequently appeared on stage, their main task is to popularize new knowledge and crack nonsense such as heaven and man induction!

This super lecture event is also known as the Zhongzhou Forum, and every day the newspapers of the special staff organize the opinions and spread them to the whole country. It lasted for 20 years, completely laying the blueprint for China's political system and the rule of law. There were even Westerners who were introduced to the West and set off their enlightenment.

……

"Great companion, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military is really as the King of Liao said, what they care about is not me, but about themselves! For the sake of the so-called saints, they can go forward and follow. But when my Ming Dynasty was in danger, why didn't they come out! Is it that Yidi has honored the Holy Way and is also their Holy King? ”

Dai Ying's face was full of sadness, and said: "What the master said is very true, it's just that those scholars attacked the saint, the old slave looked heartbroken, and the king of Liao was the driving force behind it, and the old slave thought that the master should go back to Beijing, and it would be safer there......"

"Hahaha, Omeno, I'm not going anywhere. The king of Liao said that he would let me restrain his power and not be the honor of the Ninth Five. In fact, it is he who really has to resist the temptation, why should I give him the opportunity to create a dynasty and usurp the throne! ”

"Your Majesty, the King of Liao is invited!" Zhou He ran in in a panic and said, "The Tartars have moved, I'm afraid the big war is coming!" (To be continued......)
