Chapter 138: The ministers plead
Then Quan Yizhe looked at Suhe Jingshuo and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is not against the emperor's southern tour, nor does it mean that His Majesty's southern tour will live in a simple palace. Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Test is just the behavior of Ying Shun officials feel inappropriate, Ying Shun is a big state, because the development of the Southern Expedition in all aspects of business and other aspects is one of the best in the whole country, it has its own strength for Your Majesty to re-cultivate the palace, and also has the strength to repair the palace more luxurious than the palace, but if Ying Shun built the palace today in order to meet the southern tour, and therefore received His Majesty's praise, then what about other states and counties. “
"Officials in other states and counties will definitely be blushing because of this, if the emperor goes to inspect other places again, the local officials will definitely put their minds out to build something, if it is a poor state and county. Do you have to spend money and money for such a face-saving project?"
The old ministers such as Bi Cao Renjun were also moved by the philosopher of the right and kept nodding in agreement. Seeing the approval of the old ministers, Quan Yizhe became more confident, and continued: "Your Majesty is an example for a hundred ministers, and you must not start this bad trend for the sake of temporary vanity." “
Originally, Suhe Jingshuo also listened to Kwon Yizhe's words a little. There are also some people who feel that the rebuilding of the palace of Ying Shun is a bit of a waste of money and labor, but when they heard the words of Quan Yizhe, these thoughts in their hearts suddenly disappeared.
He stepped down from his chair and walked a few steps in the hall and said, "Do you mean that I am greedy for vanity? or do you want to say that I am going to have a crooked upper beam and a crooked lower beam?"
Quan Yizhe also knew at this time that he had lost his words, and knelt down: "The minister doesn't dare, the minister is just, it's just??"
Chen Liuji, who was on the side, hurriedly got out of work and knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Quan is just in a hurry, and he doesn't choose what to say. I have no intention of blaming Your Majesty!"
Then several other important ministers also knelt down, and Xie Suwen said earnestly on the side: "Although Lord Quan's words are excessive, he is a fist and a child's heart, please forgive Your Majesty." “
"Hmph. Pure heart, hum!" "Seeing that there are so many ministers pleading for Quan Zhizhe, Suhe Jingshuo is a little embarrassed, he knows that if it weren't for Quan Zhizhe's words, there would not be so many people interceding for him, and punishing the public, a Quan Zhizhe can still make a board, do so many ministers have to accompany him to the board."
Thinking of this, Su and Jingshuo walked several steps in the hall, and finally stepped out of the Jinluan Hall with a flick of his hand.
Fang Weiji hurriedly helped Quan Yizhe up, at this time, Quan Yizhe was also in a cold sweat, and his legs were also weak with fright, and it took a long time to stand up.
Suhe Jingshuo was confronted by the power of the philosopher and the courtiers, and felt that he had no face, without the majesty of a king, and his heart was depressed for a while, and when he returned to the imperial study, he saw a table of recitals.
"Your Majesty, if you don't want to watch the recital today, go to which lady to relax. Liang An said with a fan on the side.
Suhe Jingshuo walked out of the imperial study with his hands behind his back. But he didn't go to the harem, he just walked around the palace at will, and as he walked, he found that he unconsciously walked to the Hongwen Palace.
In the Hongwen Palace, the king Fu Ma Yanxiu was on duty today, and after getting closer, Suhe Jingshuo found that there was another person in the Hongwen Hall besides Ma Yanxiu. Nine Emperor Princes Su and Hao.
Seeing that the emperor had arrived, the two people in the hall hurriedly saluted, and Su and Jingshuo briefly took a look at Ma Yanxiu's government affairs and asked, "Why is Xiao Jiu here?"
"Back to my father, my son just entered the court, and I was not very clear about the affairs of the court, and after making a few mistakes, the seventh brother asked me to study more while the prince was free, so the son came to study while the prince was on duty. Su Hehao replied with his head bowed.
"Oh, that's good. Very motivated. Su He Jingshuo nodded and praised, glanced at the book in Su Hehao's hand and said, "The History of the Rise and Fall of Kings, well, it was recommended by Ma Wangfu, but I don't know what you think?
Su Hehao owed, glanced at his own Wang Fu Ma Yanxiu, Su He Jingshuo sat down on the side of the chair and said, "Don't worry, I just ask casually, and I won't blame you if I don't answer well." “
Su Hehao stabilized his mind and said, "This book has been read by the ministers in the past. But after entering the dynasty, Wang Fu asked Erchen to read it again, and the feelings brought to Erchen before and after were completely different. “
Suhe Jingshuo raised his eyebrows and said, "How is it different, say it and I will listen." “
At the same time, at that time, he was humble to others, recruited talents, and humbly listened to the advice of his own guests, so he could continue to expand his territory in just a dozen years. Destroyed several small countries around it and unified the Central Plains. After saying this, Su Hehao looked up and saw that Su and Jingshuo no longer dared to continue.
Suhe Jingshuo looked at his son, who was kneeling at his feet and cowering, and fell into deep thought. At this time, Ma Yanxiu said: "Your Majesty, the Nine Emperor Princes have not been in the court for long. These views are also his one-sided views, and I hope that Your Majesty will not be angry, let alone angry with him because of the things of the day. “
Suhe Jingshuo said thoughtfully: "No, he commented very well." Learning from the past and knowing the present, very good, very good. After saying that, Su and Jingshuo left the Hongwen Hall by themselves, and Su Hehao looked at his father's distant back and suddenly collapsed to the ground. With a crying voice, he said: "Wang Fu, did I say the wrong thing." “
On the morning of the second day, Suhe Jingshuo issued a holy decree, ordering officials above the fifth rank to play a piece of music within five days, the main content of which was to discuss the gains and losses of the current government from their own point of view, and established a system for courtiers to comment on the government, and from now on every six months to write a book.
For a while, the courtiers didn't know what their majesty meant, and five days later, Suhe Jingshuo personally looked through the pieces presented for a long time, but finally smiled dumbly in front of a pile of pieces.
He asked the courtiers to comment on the gains and losses of the government, wanting to see how the officials thought of him as the emperor, but most of the recitals in front of him were singing praises of virtue, all of them boasting about his achievements since he controlled the government. It is estimated that those who can tell the truth are those old ministers who are easy to contradict themselves on weekdays, Su He Jingshuo thought.
Suddenly, he was attracted by a recital, which hit the nail on the head as soon as it came up, starting from the five years after he was in power, commenting on his achievements and losses in the past few decades, and commenting on the great moves he had made in the court over the years. And each comment hits the pain point, points out the consequences of doing so, and also puts forward some suggestions based on these shortcomings.
Although some of the proposals made were too idealistic. It can be seen that this person has been involved in politics for a shallow time, but he can still see the intentions of the person who wrote the chapter, in addition, he also talked about the rise and fall of the previous dynasties, and the words were beady, which made Suhe Jingshuo very happy.
After reading the letter, Su and Jingshuo wanted to talk to this person face-to-face, but in the end, they found that the signature was their seventh prince Cheng Lianjin. Does this son of his dare to write such a recital, and he thought that Cheng Lianjin had been in the dynasty for several years. If there were any suggestions, I would have made some more mature ones.
Suhe Jingshuo immediately summoned Cheng Lianjin to the imperial study and asked, "Who wrote this recital? Do you have the courage to comment on me directly?"
Cheng Lianjin replied: "It was written by Wu Yong, the disciple of Erchen, and Erchen also wrote a copy, but in the end, after seeing this, I felt that my share was too cringe and flattering." I handed this one in. “
Suhe Jingshuo hurriedly asked: "Where did this doorman come from, and he is still in the mansion now, can he enter the palace immediately?"
Cheng Lianjin was a little surprised, in his opinion, this recital is too straightforward, maybe only Lord Cao Renjun's recital in the whole court dares to be so explicit, he thought that his father would reprimand him or ignore it, but he didn't expect to be interested in the person who wrote the recital. So he replied: "This person was found by Erchen when he passed through Yuanzhou, he was the leader of the siege of Binxian County at that time, and later he couldn't stay in Binxian anymore so he went to Erchen's house to be a guest." “
"Oh?!, and that sort of thing. Then I want to see you even more. After saying that, Suhe Jingshuo ordered Cheng Lianjin to return to the house and bring Wu Yong to the palace to face the saint.
But Cheng Lianjin returned to the mansion but didn't see Wu Yong, not even his residence, and after asking Huang Yuneng, he learned that Wu Yong went to the villages and towns around Nanyang City today. In the end, Cheng Lianjin waited for a long time at the gate of Dongcheng before Wu Yong returned and took him to the palace.
After Wu Yong saluted, Suhe Jingshuo asked, "Why did you go to the surrounding villages and towns?"
Wu Yong replied: "Caomin is a scholar, and he used to be a teacher in Bin County, Yuanzhou. In the view of the grass people, there are two kinds of truths in the world, one is in books, which is summarized and handed down by the sages of the past generations, and the other is not in books, but is learned from the suffering of the people. It is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, and only by going deep into the people can we see the current situation of the country and have a deeper experience. “
"I heard that you are still the leader of the Binxian Siege, so I want to ask you, why did there be a matter of the Binxian Siege, and a corrupt official Feng and Fax made the people so angry?" asked Suhe Jingshuo with interest.
Wu Yong replied calmly: "In fact, in the final analysis, this matter is caused by the loss of the majesty of the imperial court's law, not by Feng Youchuan, a corrupt official. Although China has formulated a series of imperial court laws since the founding of the country, and these laws have been improved over the years, in the eyes of the grass people, it is important to improve the laws, but it is even more important to abide by these laws. But the imperial court has not done this in recent years. “
After speaking, Wu Yong raised his head and looked at Su and Jingshuo, as if he was waiting for the emperor's approval, Su and Jingshuo raised his chin and said, "Go on, I listen." “
After getting the approval, Wu Yong continued: "In recent years, the imperial court has experienced two wars in the north and the south, because it has not been fought for many years, and the reserves in the wartime are definitely not enough, so the imperial court has levied two rents in advance, and through these two additional levies, the imperial court has obtained the cornerstone of the victory in the northern and southern wars, but it has lost the majesty of the imperial court's law, and some local officials are even more fearless, and even make a big fuss about it, Binxian County is a living example." How can the people afford it for a long time, and how can they not complain?"
Su and Jingshuo were silent for a long time when they heard this, Cheng Lianjin was on the side and sweated for Wu Yong, and after a while, Su and Jingshuo said: "That's right, it was I who set this precedent, and it was I who ordered the rent to be levied in advance. “
