Chapter 9 Lectures on Four Lectures
Qin Hui retreated in confusion, although he couldn't figure out what the emperor meant, but somehow, he was relieved. He is a person in the world, and the most important thing is his own interests. The safety of the rest of the countries, the emperor and the prince, do not care. The life of others is naturally not the life of others, and the property of others is best obtained for themselves. He is the prime minister in history, and even Zhao Gou is jealous of him, but he has always been obedient to Jin Guo and does not dare to offend. Even the Song and Jin negotiated peace, and took his reinstatement as a condition for negotiation, because he was very obedient and was the best agent of the Jin State in the Song Dynasty.
Why? He is already under one person, under ten thousand people, no matter how well the Jin State treats him, can he be stronger than the Song Dynasty? In fact, the answer is very simple, first, the Jin State is strong, the Song Dynasty is weak, Qin Hui is a powerful minister, he can use an iron fist internally, but he has always been a soft bone externally, as long as it will affect his rich future slightly, he will not take the risk of a big needle. At the same time, Zhao Gou, who was the only one who was in danger of his life, considered that the Northern Expedition might not be successful, and that the Northern Expedition might lead to the return of the Jin State to the Second Emperor, and he was unwilling to go against the Jin State, so the two of them hit it off and joined forces to do it.
Second, he once attached himself to the Jin Dynasty Wanyan Chang, and was pinched by someone. He thought about it day and night, the left and right were just to preserve the name and wealth, if he angered the Jin people and brought him out of his old pocket, even if Zhao Gou believed that he used him, he would never be able to survive in the imperial court.
And at this time today, somehow this stain was known by Zhao Huan and exposed in person. At this time, Qin Hui was refreshed, and the ghost in his heart was gone, it was really a blue sea and blue sky, and he was in a very happy mood.
If he is a modern person thousands of years later, he is afraid to shout: washing is healthier.
He is not deeply involved at this time, just like a child who makes a mistake and is most afraid of being known, but when he is really known, he suddenly discovers: it is nothing more than that.
Since the emperor did not kill him at this time, nor did he denigrate, but implicitly wanted to reuse his statement. At this time, not only did he put down a stone in his heart, but took this opportunity to leave a very distinct position in the emperor's heart, he had already achieved the position of the emperor in the imperial history at a young age, and the emperor did not take his refuge in the Jin people to heart, and he would be ranked as the ruler in the future, wouldn't it be just around the corner?
With such ease, before Qin Hui was summoned by Zhao Huan, his face was gloomy and his mind was heavy. And when he was summoned and stepped out of the emperor, he was full of lightheartedness, and there was a little smile on his slightly thin face.
When he came out, he was greeted by the servant in charge and sent him to a building in the city to rest.
This group of Nangui officials were not from Chang'an, and all of them were collectively resettled. In addition to them, there are still many local officials in Sichuan and Shaanxi, but they have not bought houses in Chang'an, and they have to gather together to live temporarily. Everyone knows that Sichuan and Shaanxi are withering, and it is absolutely impossible to afford the function of a capital, and it is just an expedient measure in Chang'an, and the capital will have to be moved in the future.
In that case, why waste money.
There was nothing to say that night, and until dawn the next day, the place where the class was held was not far from the residence.
Ding Bo and others originally thought that the name of this class was that Li Gang was afraid that they would share power and deliberately make things difficult. When he and the rest of the "classmates" gathered, they found that they were bustling, and more than 100 officials had arrived in advance.
Seeing their dumbfounded appearance, the teachings studied in the hall were personally trained by Zhao Huan, the faces of these officials had been seen many times, and they were not surprised at the moment, and they stepped forward and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, don't be surprised, listen to Master Li say that the study class will not only be held in Chang'an, but also in Tokyo in the future, and in the rest of Lin'an, Chengdu, Jiankang, and Fuzhou, all officials can enter the class to study." ”
He stroked his beard and smiled, and praised: "Lord Li is really wise, he can think of such an idea. ”
This edict is actually playing tricks, and this matter is hidden from the people of the world, but it can't deceive him. This person was originally just a county in Sichuan, but Zhao Huan found that he was quite talented when he inspected Sichuan, so he took him with him and taught him carefully. Fortunately, this person is young and accepts things quickly, but after a few months of hard work, his wrist knowledge has greatly increased, and he can use it as a talent. What exactly is this study class going to do, what is its essence, and who the inventor is, this person knows it well, and praising Li Gang at this time is just adhering to Zhao Huan's purpose and leading the disaster to Lord Li.
As soon as these words came out, the rest of them really snorted coldly, noncommittal to his words. If it was said that this idea was made by Zhao Huan, everyone naturally didn't dare to snort coldly, saying that they didn't necessarily have to praise a few words against their will, but slander was inevitable.
After everyone finished gossiping for a while, they went into the room, and according to the rules of the early years, they first worshiped Confucius, and then invited out the portrait of Zhao Huan, and everyone paid their respects.
Seeing that everyone was dumbfounded, obviously puzzled, the priest sighed and explained, "This is the official's idea. Think, my lords, what is the matter with me reading the books of the sages? Naturally, it is to follow the way of Confucius and Mencius and serve the country. The state is illusory, how to repay? Naturally, it is His Majesty the Emperor! This official has asked His Majesty for permission, and with His Majesty's permission, not only must we bow to His Majesty's royal face before the class begins, but we also need to read the oath aloud and leave after class. The lower officials also asked His Majesty that not only the officials should do this, but also that in the future, the government should open official schools and let the children of poor families study. In this way, the subjects of the Great Song Dynasty should not only have His Majesty in their hearts, be loyal to the Song family, and behave in words and deeds. ”
"Oooh!"
Everyone was dumbfounded, the Song Dynasty scholars and doctors had a strong sense of collectivity, and the monarchy was not as powerful as the deification of the Ming and Qing dynasties, even in the Ming and Qing dynasties, there was no such thing as visiting the emperor's portrait in the morning and evening.
It's just that this priest opened his mouth His Majesty, closed his mouth and was loyal and filial, and everyone couldn't refute it, so he couldn't tell him that everyone was unhappy with this move and asked him to put away the portrait of the emperor?
After the commotion was over, the priest frowned and said, "After all, it's the first time, and you adults are not familiar with etiquette, so that's it." If it is still the case tomorrow and the etiquette is not right, it will be demerit once. Adults need to know that if you have three demerits, you will extend your study for three months, and if you have a major demerit once, you will extend your study for one year. Those who have three major demerits will be extended for two years. If you want to graduate from this class and become an official again, you have to learn well. ”
Someone sneered: "It's a big deal if you don't resign, what can you do!" ”
The officials of the Song Dynasty had great self-esteem, or rather, the entire bureaucracy knew self-discipline very well before it was corrupted, even if it was the highest rank of the emperor, as long as it was impeached, it would have to resign and wait until the emperor was posthumous. There are also many officials who regard being an official as a hard job, resign at every turn, and go home to enjoy being a squire, which is happier than being an official.
At this time, Cai Jing has been in power for many years, the government is corrupt, and the integrity of the year has long been lost, but the matter of losing the official and resigning is still not as serious as that of later generations.
Because of this, everyone can't be a good official, and they are forced to learn, and they are unhappy in their hearts. I don't know where this instructor came from, but he is a petty official of the seventh grade, with green clothes and cloth robes, very shabby, everyone is dressed in vermilion, some are officials in the central government, and some are local managers, which one is not majestic, high and powerful, and he has been guiding and training him, and he has long been unhappy, because when someone uses him to declare discipline, he deliberately makes trouble.
"Resigned? Hey! ”
The priest sneered repeatedly, looked at the official coldly for a long time, and only after half a ring, did he ask: "Dare to ask your lordship's name?" ”
"What? Are you going to sue so-and-so? The official's surname is Sun Mingxun! ”
"Oh, it turned out to be Lord Sun, the envoy of the Huanqing Sutra! When asked for the name of an adult, it is just a small memory. The adults speak out of their mouths and roar at this teaching, which is a minor demerit and a light punishment. ”
Sun Xun was originally a transfer judge in Shaanxi, responsible for Shaanxi's financial endowment, which was a great advantage and disadvantage, and he was very comfortable. It's just that after the Fuping War, the original link strategy made Zhao Zhe escape from the battle and was beheaded by the emperor's order, Zhao Huan did not understand the bureaucratic system of the Song Dynasty at that time, so he took Zhang Jun's suggestion and let this person act as Zhao Zhe's envoy.
Originally, this person was just a civilian official, and he didn't know anything about the army, so he had to know six of the seven tricks of fighting, but he didn't know any of them. After Zhao Zhe's death, he didn't want to appease the heart of the Huanqing army, he only knew that he was subdued by official coercion, and he took office for less than a month, and there were many incidents in the army. He was also very wonderful, he even summoned the generals and reprimanded: "You all said that Zhao Jingluo's death was unjust, and now you will tell you bluntly, and your head is not strong!" ”
As a result, the Huanqing Army, which was almost harmed, mutinied, and the hereditary Huanzhou general Mu Wei knew that it was not good, so he played Zhao Huan overnight and sent an envoy to appease the army, which was barely stable.
After this incident, Zhao Huan knew that this talent was unusable, financial management was perfunctory, and governing the army was bound to fail.
Although this Sun Xun's ability is poor, his temper is very tough, and when he heard the edict to remember his minor mistakes, he immediately sneered: "Hey, demerits? If you don't resign from your official position and return to your hometown for the people, your official will have a demerit, so what can you do! ”
This person knew that the emperor didn't like him, and his boss had no confidence in him, and after that, the officialdom was difficult to mix, and he reluctantly reported to the class, which was regarded as an explanation to the emperor and Li Gang.
"Resigned? Hehe, Master Sun, the rules of this class have not yet been explained. ”
"What rules?"
"The specified place and time are not up to the standard for graduating from this class, and they cannot leave."
As soon as these words came out, not only Sun Xun was dumbfounded, but even the other officials who had the same thoughts as him were also scared and stupid.
The priest sneered again and again, and said: "Everyone who eats the king's fortune, should be loyal to the king." If you can't do a good job in studying, you want to quit and not do it? Ladies and gentlemen, at the moment of national crisis, the old rules of the past must be changed, whether you are an official or not, whether you resign or not, you can't do it. I want you to do it, you can't do it if you don't do it, I don't want you to do it, you can't do it if you want to! If anyone wants to resign, they will all have a demerit! ”
The more he spoke, the more severe it became, and in the end, it was like a reprimand. It is also rare that he is a small seven-rank civil official, and dares to act like this in front of so many important ministers of the court.
After he finished training, a few small officials stepped forward one after another, explaining the rules of the study class one by one. There are so many articles, such detailed regulations, and strict punishments, but after listening to them, these officials are like ice water showering over their heads, cold from head to toe.
This kind of so-called in-class study is like imprisonment, which is like imprisonment. But the partial birth is high-sounding, the righteousness is in front, and many detailed rules and constraints make it even more miserable.
The best thing is that there is nothing really offensive to people's bodies or money, there are many mysterious things that make people afraid when they think about it, but they don't know where you are afraid of it.
And the stipulation that resignation is not allowed makes it impossible for people to escape, and it is really a death sentence.
There are those who are smart and awake, thinking of the terrible part of it, they have completely lost their previous ease, and their faces are pale, and their hands are trembling.
Looking at the teachings again, although the anger has subsided, and the appearance of smiling Mimi, no one dares to despise him.
"Alright, now that you all understand, let's talk."
After the proclamation of the teachings, the officials sat down, and a young scholar stepped forward, holding a stack of textbooks, strode up to the stage, picked up the first page, and read: "My lords, the way of the official, the heaviest one, should be four. These four articles are: justice, loyalty, honesty, and ability. How can it be embodied, let's talk about it separately, after learning these four lectures, the princes can naturally finish. ”
He smiled and began to follow the textbook compiled by Zhao Huan.
Qin Hui didn't make a sound, and at this time, he took a loophole, turned his head, and asked the teacher softly, "Dare to ask the lord?" ”
The priest glanced at him and replied with a smile: "Don't dare, the surname is Yu Yuping." ”
"In the future, if you have the opportunity, you should be closer to adults."
"That's the honor of the lower officials. However, in the classroom, Lord Qin dared not to speak. ”
Qin Hui nodded slightly and stopped making a sound.
Yu Ping is also smiling, no matter what, he lived up to the emperor's trust, this first killing stick, extremely ruthless, extremely accurate.
