Chapter 45: Please hold the sword of the Son of Heaven and cut down the evil people in all directions

The two sides argued for a long time and didn't come up with a high or low, seeing that it was almost eleven o'clock, Xiao Yue had to announce the temporary dismissal of the meeting, and then discuss it later.

Seeing the saint leaving, everyone blew up, and then they began to tear their voices apart.

Speaking of knowledge, which one of the people standing in the hall is not a rich scholar who reads ten thousand books? Ren is a person like Guo Shouguang, who is also familiar with writing and ink, so he is even more good at debating.

The palace is in full swing, for the sake of where to go for Jokhang, everyone fights according to reason, not afraid of blushing and thick neck.

The rule of virtue or the rule of law has to be put on the agenda now.

Xiao Yue hid in the apse and wanted to catch his breath, and his brain was still buzzing after the crowd was noisy.

Xia Yuan hurriedly served tea, Xiao Yue took a sip, moistened his dry and smoking throat, paused, and instructed Xia Yuan, "Let the palace people bring a chair to Old Lady Zhang and the others." ”

There are quite a few elderly people in the face, standing in the morning, how can that old bone stand it, and it is even worse if the angry body falls to the ground.

Xiao Yue leaned on the couch and closed his eyes to take a nap, and couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts.

The rule of virtue seeks sanctity, and the rule of law seeks wisdom. The rule of virtue does not directly force the other party to obey with wisdom like the rule of law, but starts from conquering people's hearts and minds, so that people can consciously and voluntarily sacrifice themselves for the ideal of the royal road.

The rule of virtue is truly great wisdom.

However, it is clear that it will not work to implement it in full now.

In less than three years, there will inevitably be an earth-shattering tough battle to be fought, and according to the opinions of the prince and others, it is no wonder that the country is not chaotic.

The rule of law, as a means for kings to rule the world, emphasizes absolute authority, which is an absolute authority that must be recognized and obeyed without any inquiry or argumentation.

If there is a law, there is no power, and the law cannot be enforced. There is no power, and the king is uneasy.

"Holy Decree!"

The people in the hall were arguing out of control, and when they heard the word, they hurriedly stood solemnly.

The Holy One has finally made a decision.

The hearts of the people were terrified, and their faces were different.

This holy decree determined the next development path of Jokhang.

Xia Yuan glanced around the audience, unfolded the holy decree, and read word by word, "The Holy Lord announced to the world: Minister of Criminal Affairs, please hold the sword of the Son of Heaven and kill the evil people in all directions!" ”

As he spoke, the palace man behind him slowly walked down the steps, respectfully walked in front of Lu Xiuyi, knelt down, and raised the sword above his head to present it.

Lu Xiuyi bowed upright, took the cold sword with both hands, and said solemnly, "Yes." ”

The meaning of the Holy One is obvious.

The people standing in the palace are confused, although it is a simple sentence, it seems that it is not painful, but in fact, the meaning is very clear, and to be an official is to thoroughly judge the situation and understand the king's intentions.

The king's mind is fickle, and his subordinates cannot be stubborn. Emperor Duan of the previous dynasty also resolutely resisted Yan, but later the situation changed, so he blindly sued for peace. The commander-in-chief, Gao Fei, was unaware of the general situation, and advocated to kill Yan, and was later strangled to death in Dongting Mountain by the treacherous minister, so he gained a reputation as a loyal minister.

To be an official is to be aware of subtle things and analyze them, to understand the general trend and to adapt to it, so as to avoid disasters.

Anyone who can stand here is not stupid.

Zhang Zhenghe looked up to the sky and sighed, "The rise and fall of the country is based on once!" ”

East Palace.

Yi Tiran helped Zhang Zhenghe to sit down, and sighed himself.

Yi Tiran said, "The prince is self-disciplined with courtesy, righteousness, and trembling all day long, walking on thin ice, so that he can only maintain no fault." However, when people move forward, how can they always be satisfied, safe and smooth? The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. The prince has a sharp weapon, how many people want to get it, and if he has a sharp weapon, he will be in danger. People hate disasters, but they inevitably come into trouble, so please don't worry about it. ”

Seeing that the prince was silent, Zhang Zhenghe said earnestly to the student who had high hopes, "Prince, the old man taught you in the past, and he focused on morality. Today's events have exposed the problem, it is the loss of old decay, but fortunately, it is not too late to make amends. ”

Zhang Zhenghe coughed a few times, and the palace people next to him hurriedly handed over the tea, Zhang Zhenghe took a sip of it, only to feel that his throat was dry and smoking, and he took a few more sips, and he continued, "Prince, the old man said a few words to you today, you think about it carefully." Loyal and traitorous ministers cannot be distinguished by their words, and good and evil cannot be distinguished by their wisdom. Is Lu Xiuyi a villain? Not. It depends on how the prince will use it in the future. A truly wise man will not reject a virtuous person, a man who understands things, and will not alienate the wicked, but will use it for both good and evil for the sake of the political state. ”

Seeing the solemnity of what the teacher said, Xiao Junzhi arched his hand and said, "The teacher teaches, and the students remember." ”

Zhang Zhenghe sighed, "Alas, my old bones can't last for a few years, the prince can be safe and smooth, and he will be blind to old decay." ”

Yi Tiran couldn't help but say, "Prince, you are isolated, your wisdom is difficult to do, you are upright and unbending, and it is difficult to protect yourself." Since you can't change it, then go along with it. Gentlemen would rather strive for self-improvement in adversity and get a turnaround than become a warm water frog in good times. ”

Listening to these heart-wrenching words, Ren is a cold person like Xiao Junzhi was also a little moved. Although he and Yi Tiran are from the same school, but Yi Tiran is an early official, usually in order to avoid secrecy, he rarely talks to himself, and today in order to persuade himself, he can't help but be moved.

After Zhang Zhenghe and the others left, after a while, Han Jin came in with a palace man behind him.

Seeing that the prince was silent, staring at the desk in a daze, Han Jin sighed, turned around and took the food box from the palace people, gently placed it on the table, opened the lid, and took out the jasper bowl and pushed it in front of the prince.

"Brother, this is the lily mung bean porridge I just cooked, you drink a little bit and meditate."

Han Jin has already heard about the matter of the court, and the prince's brother has not been peaceful recently, and today he is in the target of public criticism.

The people involved in the Zhang Changbei case are destined to be beheaded.

Zhang Changbei's second son, Zhang Yiwei, and he have played with pants from childhood to adulthood, and the two of them have the best play in a group of people in Yongzhou, but they didn't expect this to happen today.

Xiao Junzhi lowered his eyelids, his face full of exhaustion.

Han Jin sat opposite the prince, and both of them were silent.

Executing Zhang Changbei, Xiao Junzhi knew that it was a matter of course, but after all, he couldn't bear it. The nurse said that when he was a child, he was weak, often had fever and cough, and he did not get better for several months. I can't remember anything about my childhood, but every time the nurse talks about it, she always clasps her hands and says, "Amitabha, Mr. Zhang is really kind-hearted, seeing Jun'er, you can't stop coughing, and it is raining heavily to invite a doctor to come to the house......."

Mr. Zhang is a good person, but Mr. Zhang is out of place.

Yes, out of place.

Han Jin endured her grief and persuaded again, "Brother, let's go into something, it's a ...... that burns down your body" Before she finished speaking, her eyes turned red, and she couldn't cry anymore.

Thinking that Zhang Yiwei could no longer accompany him to wander the streets and alleys, drink wine and taste flowers, Han Jin couldn't help but feel sad.

Seeing that Han Jin was lying on the table crying and couldn't help himself, Xiao Junzhi came back to his senses, sighed, and said with difficulty, "I'm sorry, Han Jin." Lonely ......"

Loneliness is powerless.

Lone also knew that their sins would not lead to death, but Lone could not do anything.

My father made up his mind today to take the road of the rule of law, and as a courtier, he could only follow it.

I said that Mr. Zhang was out of place, was he out of place?

Xiao Junzhi was about to say something, and the palace people outside the door reported, "Rong Guifei has arrived!" ”
