Chapter 127, the battle of words against the court
The book is based on Confucianism, based on Taoist theory, and melts all the schools of thought as a furnace, which is broad and profound, and is the way of governing the world of Huang Lao's doctrine.
"The old minister is right!" the lieutenant said: "The prime minister's words are wrong, the country has no strong soldiers, how can it stabilize the four seas, stabilize the mountains and rivers, and there is no way to follow, how to eliminate violence and peace, and the people are safe and guarded by themselves, since ancient times, the riots of the people are too numerous to mention, how can they be subdued by virtue and righteousness, the prime minister only talks about the actions of the saints, and discusses the present through the past, let me ask, today's country is the same as the ancient? The disadvantages of the division system, it is obvious that what the prime minister said is just a group of flies and dogs, in the name of the people's heart and heavenly heart, in order to seek fame among the princes, for the people, for themselves?" After Wei Yi's passionate words, the hall was silent, and those courtiers who supported the feudal system looked forward to each other.
"Chun Yu Yue is right!" A Dr. Yinglang came out and said: "The theory of a hundred schools of thought is to be in the midst of troubled times, to explore hard, to seek the way of survival, the way to help the world, the way of the sage, dare to ask the national captain, Lao Zhuang is famous, Confucius and Mencius are famous, Guiguzi is famous? Why is it said that it is a lobbying theory, the past is not forgotten, the future is the teacher, abandon history, what does it mean to stay in the temple?" The atmosphere in the court was aggressive.
"Erchen has a performance!" Fusu stepped forward, "Erchen thinks that the Great Qin Jiangshan is exchanged for the blood and tears of the old Qin people of the past dynasties, and it is not easy to come by, if it is divided, it will inevitably repeat the mistakes of the past, "The Book of Shang Jun" has become the foundation of my Great Qin country, unshakable, and Erchen advocates the implementation of the county system!"
Although Fusu has just reached the age of the weak crown, but you are the eldest prince, this word was said by Fusu, the weight is not light, the atmosphere of the court has eased a lot, Yingzheng listened to it and said with a smile: "Fusu, you are still immature, you should listen to the opinions of the old ministers, don't make assertions, but your spirit is commendable!"
Li Si, who has been silent, came out of the ranks at this time, and said loudly: "If you don't follow the rules, you can't make a circle, this is also the way of Confucius and Mencius, the three generations are divided, the three generations are dead, the division can last for a long time, the system is divided in various places, the government decrees are different, one eliminates the other, how to balance the people, since the implementation of the "Book of Shang Jun", I Daqin has been in a desperate situation, rich and powerful, people from all over the world, people with lofty ideals have rushed to come, now in this court, how many people are from Daqin, why? Because Daqin has a decree, to be at ease, because Daqin has no princes, up and down with one heart, to live in peace, my Daqin conforms to the will of heaven, has won the world, if the implementation of the division system again, it is tantamount to tearing the people's world apart, will my Daqin tear the soil, divided and will perish, this is the blood and tears of the millennium, nearly 500 years of war and chaos out of it, why to return to the old road, heaven and earth have a way, the wind and the moon are always new, this is the Taoist theory, now is not the past, I Daqin should open the world, take the road that the predecessors have not walked. β
"Cai!" Ying Zheng was the first to cheer, and above the court, he once again set off a cheer.
Wang Wan said awe-inspiringly: "Ting Wei can know the hearts of the people in the world? Heavy taxes, millions of servitudes, starvation all over the wilderness, the people are not happy, how can the people come to one heart, if they are divided, how can they use so many manpower, material resources, and financial resources to build the Great Wall, Chi Road, water canals, and Afang Palace, "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn Period" collects the training of the sages, takes the essence of a hundred schools, goes to its dross, and wins the hearts of the people with virtue, not to abandon the law, grace and power, the way of the sage, my Daqin wins the world with soldiers and legalists, this is the way of troubled times, but if you want to stabilize the country, you should use Taoism, The way of Confucianism, this is the way to govern the world, cutting down but not virtue, can not survive for a long time, the sage's training, must not be observed, do not examine history, blind exploration, do not know the wrong way, Tingwei holding the "Book of Shang Jun" thought that it was the way to govern the world, dare to ask where Shang Jun died? β
There was a lot of discussion in the hall, the call for supporting the sub-feudal system was getting higher and higher, and the courtiers who were still hesitating were also inclined to the sub-feudal system, Ying Zheng's face was like ashes, Li Si and others were speechless, Meng Yi stood on the high level and was busy giving Wuxian a look, wanting to let Wujian come out of the ranks, display his eloquent talents, and overwhelm the courtiers.
No obstacle pretended not to see, the people around him were discussing, he didn't listen, in fact, he was still hesitating, what the old prime minister Wang Juan said is indeed the way to save the world, the way of the saints, the suffering of the people, the devastation of all over the world, he has a full view of the past year, if it can be implemented, the people of the world can be stable, he entered the court this time, he felt deeply, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, there are no mediocre people, Yingzheng is not the imaginary brutal phase, the courtiers express their opinions, contrary to his original intentions, he still endures it, it can be seen that his bearing, the reason why the Qin State destroyed the six countries of Shandong, these people's contributions are indispensable, such a big country, death, how easy it is to say, if it dies, the world will also be in chaos, not deadIn fact, no matter how these ministers argue, Yingzheng's ambition will not change, he is just testing the thoughts of the ministers, who can be reused, who can resolutely implement his decrees, even if Wang Juan's argument is reasonable, but as long as it goes against the holy will, it is unreasonable, it is contrary to the truth.
"Wuji, do you support that style of governance, I want to hear your thoughts?" Ying Zheng actually took the initiative to ask Wuji, and the entire hall fell silent, and his eyes were all looking at this resourceful genius, not knowing what he could say.
Wu Jian knew that Meng Yi had passed on his political opinions to Ying Zheng, and Ying Zheng wanted to test him as a result, so he lowered his head and said calmly: "Minister,...... , the minister's class to get the axe, the courage to speak, today under the initial decision, a hundred wastes to be revived, the customs are different, the etiquette is uneven, the restoration forces are surging, foreign invasion, although the sub-feudal system can quickly stabilize the world, but the minister believes that it is by no means a long-term plan, one of them, the production is different, the ancestors live in the cave, drive the beast with fire, hunt with stones, and now the people sleep in the greenhouse, cultivate the fertile land with bronze tools, and the strong crossbow can hit the wolf of a hundred zhang, second, the territory is different, the ancient Yanhuang lives in the Deshui area, the four seas are barren, the foreign race is inaccessible, it is to open up the territory and expand the territory, and now China, the fertile land is more concentrated, the neighbors are more precipitous, the foreign people often intrude, the inch of land is worth the gold, third, the humanities are different, the ancient people are more connected by bloodFourth, current affairs are different, the world has been in turmoil for a long time, the people have the heart of a small country, the heart of division remains, and the county system is facing a series of immediate problems, but it is immediate, as long as it conforms to the will of heaven, goes to the difficulties together, continues to explore, and improves the law, it will be able to achieve long-term peace and stability. β
After a pause, his words changed, and he said with a sullen conscience: "Shang Jun testified to the law, but was said by the prime minister to be a cocoon and self-restraint, which is really chilling, dare to ask the prime minister, if there is no "Shang Jun Shu", why is there a unified Great Qin today, the prime minister said that Tingwei held the "Shang Jun Book" and carved a boat to seek a sword, then the prime minister strongly admired the "Lu Spring and Autumn Period", is it to stick to his own opinions? Taoism is transcendent from the world, ruling by inaction, but if the world is ruled by inaction, without restraint, and breeds at will, what will be the outcome, the people are not hungry, how to be detached, those who are officials may not be transcendent, why are the people, why are the people not afraid of death, how can they be afraid of death, but the people do not believe in the Tao, how can they obey it, Confucianism and Taoism claim to be the holy way of the world, the way of officials, dare to ask how many saints have appeared in Confucianism, why they are holy, what are their political achievements, and which disaster is solved? Claiming to be people-oriented, to convince people, in fact, the punishment is not to the doctor, the courtesy is not inferior to the common people, the people can make it, can not make it known, words and deeds at both ends, it is really the theory of fooling the people, do not shame the king, do not humble the petty officials, small and unbearable, then chaos and big schemes, in fact, it is a theory of slapping horses, talking highly, figuring out people's hearts, seeking selfish desires, adding officials to the knighthood, how have you ever thought of seeking benefits for the people, but you are just a hypocrite who is not diligent and does not distinguish between grains, how can you be frank?
Although Wuji's voice was not high, it made the court silent, and the Confucian disciples of the Doctor's Palace stared at Wujian with vicious eyes, eager to eat his flesh raw.
"Cai!" A loud voice suddenly sounded in the court, and Ying Zheng stood up and praised.
"You...... , a faction...... "Wang Juan pointed to Wuji, spewed out a mouthful ......of blood mist, staggered, and was supported by several ministers, "Prime Minister! Prime Minister!"
"When you first arrive, you dare to contradict the prime minister!"
"How dare you despise the court, speak disrespectfully, and insult the holy scriptures!"
"A stinky road, after a victory, there is no one in sight, showing off his power here!"
......
Those Confucian disciples who couldn't help it, scolded, Wuji lowered his head, his eyes were cold, he didn't expect that his words would make Wang Juan spurt blood, knowing that he was a good official, he felt deeply guilty, but he could only do so, Ying Zheng just wanted to refute Wang Juan through his mouth, this is the holy will, those angry scolding don't need to be ignored, this is just the beginning.
"It's you who despise the court!" Ying Zheng scolded as soon as he slapped the dragon case.
The court was silent and looked at the angry Yingzheng of Long Yan.
Ying Zheng said: "I have already given an edict, but it doesn't hurt to say it, you dare to make a mistake above the court, come here, clear them out of the hall!"
Without waiting for Lang Zhong to step forward, more than a dozen Confucian disciples flicked their sleeves and took the initiative to walk out of the hall.
Ying Zheng asked: "Now that the stakes of the two forms of governance have been clear, there is no point in arguing any further, I will make a decision today and implement the county system, do you have any objections?"
"Wechen has no objection!" Li Si was the first to agree.
"There is no objection to the son!"
"No objection!"
......
Several leaders who advocated the feudal system were cleared out of the palace, and the courtiers still couldn't understand it and supported it.
"Okay, since Zhong Aiqing has no objection, then from now on, Daqin will fully implement the county system, and this matter will be handed over to the prime minister!"
Wang Juan's face was haggard, trembling and took out the bamboo slips from his sleeves, slowly moved to His Majesty, presented the bamboo slips with both hands and said: "The minister is old and old, and his thoughts are too pedantic to be qualified for the post of prime minister.
Ying Zheng knew that the reason why Wang Juan wrote his resignation letter was because he expected that he would do his best to implement the county, if he did not resign, it would inevitably hinder the implementation, such a heart for the country, the world can shine, and said with tears in his eyes: "Prime Minister, you are my minister, now is the time to employ people, how can you leave me!"
Wang Juan shook his head and sighed: "The old man is stubborn and has drifted away from His Majesty, so he should have been dismissed a long time ago!"
"The prime minister has assisted Yingzheng for more than ten years, wearing stars and moons for state affairs, working day and night, and his achievements are not inferior to Wu Chenghou, how can he be angry with Yingzheng because of discord in governance!"
Wang Juan smiled bitterly and said: "How can the old man, Your Majesty is eloquent and strategic, and can share your Majesty's worries, this life is enough, but now not only can you not share your worries, but you will add chaos to Your Majesty, I am really ashamed, I beg Your Majesty, let the old man be idle for a few days!" he said, kneeling on the ground.
The courtiers shouted one after another: "Prime Minister, don't!"
Ying Zheng stared at Wang Juan for a long time, "Quasi!" Two lines of tears flowed down his cheeks.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"
Ying Zheng wiped away his tears and returned to the dragon chair to sit down, "Little Gaozi, record my edict, Prime Minister Wang Juan will return to his hometown thoroughly, and Neishi County will give it to him every year according to law!"
"Your Majesty......" Wang Juan burst into tears, fell to the ground and shouted tremblingly.
Many old ministers are trying to tears, and the sound of whimpering comes out from time to time.
"Retreat!" Ying Zheng got up, waved his sleeves and rode away, leaving the palace full of courtiers.
