Chapter 188 The Struggle for Righteousness and Profit (2)

Wang Juan was originally a great Confucian who promoted the royal road. The so-called gentleman does not speak for profit. Especially in the Warring States period for hundreds of years, those who value agriculture and suppress business, and those who are businessmen and professions have always been lowly, and Wang Juan naturally looks down on this kind of bustling people who are all profitable. Now that the imperial court is repairing the gallop road, some people have suggested that the construction of the gallop road be handed over to the merchants to complete. This is still secondly, the road for the dignified emperor to travel, but in the end it was handed over to the merchants, where is the dignity of the court? Where is the dignity of the emperor? Where is the order of ritual music?

After Wang Juan stood up, according to the etiquette, he opened his mouth and spoke at length, stretching all the resentment in his heart.

Since it was re-activated by the emperor, Wang Juan thought that the emperor had changed his mind and was ready to go to the county and divide the old system. Therefore, he was very enthusiastic, and for this reason, he also wrote a recital of thousands of words to advise the emperor. As a result, the emperor read the chapter, and there was no follow-up, and there was no sign of change in the imperial court, which made Wang Juan very aggrieved. He knew that the emperor would not implement his political views, but in all aspects of the court, the old prime minister still tried his best to implement the system of etiquette and music, so as to satisfy the dream of royal government in his heart. Therefore, the rules and regulations of the imperial court have been greatly improved recently.

But when the implementation of the great political idea of dividing the world is hopeless, there are still people who are challenging the bottom line in his old man's heart, and even businessmen have been brought out! Is it tolerable, or is it intolerable?

At first, it was also a while, and then the old prime minister Wang didn't care about the gentleman's demeanor, and began to scold, the etiquette collapsed, the people's hearts were not ancient, and they were quite suspicious of scolding Huai and secretly scolding the emperor.

However, due to the high seniority of Prime Minister Wang, the emperor did not say anything to stop it, and the rest of the people were not easy to say. In the end, after more than half a quarter of an hour, the old prime minister Wang, who was still unsatisfied but a little unbearable, finally stopped, and finally said fiercely: "If Chen Sheng's kid is here, the old man will have to beat him to death!" If it weren't for the emperor and some ministers in the court to praise or acquiesce in Chen Sheng's behavior, he would have deposed Chen Sheng and escorted him back to Xianyang to ask for the guilt.

Wang Xuan's last words completely denied the emperor's previous affirmation of Chen Sheng, and everyone didn't dare to squeak when they heard it.

Li Si frowned and looked towards the right prime minister, Kui Lin. Kui Lin's face was as swollen as a pig's liver at this time, purple and frightening. He was full of praise for Chen Sheng because he had collected a huge amount of wealth for Shaofu, but now his immediate boss Wang Juan judged Chen Sheng so much, and he was immediately caught in the middle, extremely embarrassed.

Kui Lin is also quite yearning for royal politics. But this is just a personal will, he understands the current direction, and he will not be as highly respectful as Wang Juan for the politics he longs for, and he will defend it everywhere.

As Wang Juan's ally and subordinate, Kui Lin was not convenient to argue with Wang Juan. However, Li Sike was not so polite, he immediately stood up coldly, and after saluting Wang Juan, he asked, "Dare to ask Prime Minister Wang, what kind of background?" ”

Li Si's tone was quite unkind. On the surface, Wang Juan scolded Chen Sheng, who gave the opinion of building Chidao, but in fact, he still took the big proposition of world governance to talk about things. If he just scolded Chen Sheng, Li Si would gladly let it go, and maybe he would roll up his sleeves and scold together. But when it comes to the issue of the rule of the world, it is impossible to get along with him.

Everyone in the world knows that Li Si proposed to the emperor the county system of the world, which is contrary to the feudal system advocated by Wang Juan, and the two are incompatible. In the end, the emperor adopted the county system instead of the feudal system, which announced that Li Si was about to become a powerful minister in the new era. But Wang Juan, the old immortal, was frustrated by Li Si and re-ascended to the phase. It's okay to stay in this prime minister's position, but he still wants to counterattack and try to push his sub-feudal system again, isn't this challenging Li Si's limits? This old immortal, you have to hit him hard to make him sober, although I, Li Si, have temporarily lost power, but it's not something you can provoke!

Li Si has always been eloquent, and even a bland sentence can evolve infinitely and attract people. When Wang Juan heard this, he didn't dare to answer, and after thinking about it, he said: "The old man is a patriot, he traveled around when he was young, he studied Mencius, and he also discussed with Xun Qian, and finally entered Qin, worshiped under the door of Wenxin Hou, and then recommended by Wenxin Hou Lu Buwei, became His Majesty's concubine. Doesn't Lord Tingwei know about these? Wang Juan smiled coldly, and his smile seemed to contain disdain for Li Si.

Wang Juan's words sounded nothing strange to others. But for Lees, it's not very good. Li Si's teacher is Xun Qian, and Wang Xuan's words are vaguely suspected of using seniority to pressure Li Si. Li Si later also entered Qin and became the guest secretary of Wenxin Hou Lü Buwei, and finally it was Lü Buwei's recommendation that he became an official of Qin and had the opportunity to climb up. And these are not the point, the point is that both Xun Kuang and Lü Buwei are thinkers who promote the politics of the royal road, which can be seen from the ideological works of Xun Kuang and the "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period" written by Lü Buwei in gathering thousands of disciples. However, Li Si's political philosophy is different from theirs, and Wang Juan's words are thorny, satirizing Li Si's ingratitude and forgetting his roots.

Li Si ignored Wang Juan's bitterness, smiled indifferently, and said, "It turns out that Prime Minister Wang Cheng was also under the Marquis of Wenxin. I don't know if the prime minister knows that Wenxin Hou Lu Buwei is a businessman, and his words will be profitable. Why did Wang Cheng stoop to do things at the beginning? Li Si saw that Wang Juan's words were mean, so he was ruthless, and said: "How hypocritical the prime minister's words are! The world is disturbed, and the exchanges are all for fame and fortune! The emperor's words are beneficial, the people of Li are benefited, and the people of Qianshou will survive, and the benevolence and righteousness of the emperor will be praised; It is also righteous for businessmen to travel to and from the world, communicate with each other, and facilitate the world. How could the prime minister say so unbearable?! The great righteousness of what the prime minister said is nothing more than the restoration of the royal road and the separation of feuds, although it does not speak of profit, but it is greedy for fame, deceiving the world and stealing fame! The more Li Si spoke, the more excited he became, his voice was sonorous, and his neck was red.

"You, you ......" Wang Juan was so angry by Li Si's last sentence that he was so angry that he trembled and almost fainted.

However, Li Si was also unhappy in his heart. Things have not been going well lately. He also had a belly of anger in his heart. At this moment, Wang Juan, an old immortal, dared to send it to the door to scold, if he didn't take the opportunity to scold, how could he be worthy of himself?

Li Si was about to open his mouth, but the emperor's face sank. The emperor slapped the table heavily and said gloomily: "Enough, the court is deliberating, when did it become a shrew scolding the street?" ”
