Chapter 473: The Truth Emerges
The Emperor of the Apocalypse felt a terrifying atmosphere.
The words in this Xiucai's words have no king and no father.
But these words without a king and a father, are they really just the thoughts of this showman?
This person is a famous scholar.
Behind his remarks, it was not just as simple as babbling.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse sneered and glanced at this Xiucai, and then said, "Do you know what the consequences of saying such crazy words are?" ”
Xiucai sneered, closed his eyes and said, "It's nothing more than death, no complaints." ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, good, this is you scholars, who say that you are loyal to the monarch, but you are really without a monarch, and on the one hand, you say that the monarch is a minister, a father and a son, but you regard the monarch as a mustard." ”
"It's grass mustard, so why should it be elevated?" Xiucai said awe-inspiringly.
Zhang Jingyi finally couldn't sit still, because he knew that the Emperor of the Apocalypse would never be able to say that this Xiucai, although it was just a Xiucai, but the Emperor of the Apocalypse was simply a waste wood compared to him.
Of course, he can't immediately say to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Your Majesty, stop arguing, you will be pressed to the ground and rubbed.
He coughed and stopped the angry Emperor of the Apocalypse, but dragged the Emperor of the Apocalypse out.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse said angrily: "I want to break this shaft into ten thousand pieces. ”
Out of this temporary cell, Zhang Jingyi was speechless.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse said angrily: "Why are you holding me back! I am determined to teach him to be happy and convinced, and I have already prepared words to scold him. ”
Zhang Jing said: "Yes, yes, yes, Your Majesty is erudite and talented, just a talent, how can you be Your Majesty's opponent?" The minister is afraid that His Majesty will discipline him too hard, and he will be ashamed, if he breaks himself, it will be more than worth the loss, and we have to keep his life before we can dig out the person behind it. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse's face softened a little, and said slowly: "Really? In this way, you also think he is full of nonsense? ”
Zhang Jingyi was silent for a moment.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse frowned and said, "Why don't you say it?" ”
Zhang Jing said: "Your Majesty wants to listen to the truth?" ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse said, "Naturally. ”
Zhang Jingyi sighed and said, "Actually...... The minister felt that this Confucian made sense. ”
"What?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse was shocked: "If you have no king and no father, does it make sense?" Zhang Qing, you ......"
Zhang Jingyi said seriously: "It does make sense, the chaos in the world is not the rise and fall of one surname, isn't it so?" The world is the master, and the king is the guest, isn't this also unreasonable? His Majesty insisted that the minister tell the truth, and the minister had no choice but to tell the truth. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was so angry at this time that his blood was cold.
Zhang Jingyi immediately said: "Actually...... Historically, Confucian scholars have made sense when they speak, starting from the exclusive respect for Confucianism, and the scholars of that generation have no reason for their words? Every word of theirs is very beautiful, irrefutable, when they say that kings and ministers emphasize etiquette, use etiquette to set the order of the world, through the education of the people, by determining the identity and responsibilities of each person, let everyone do their own things, is this not reasonable? ”
After that, he emphasized the righteousness and sincerity of governing the country together, and used these to restrain oneself and self-denial, is this not reasonable? What this scholar said today is also true, in fact...... It's nothing more than Mencius's people, nobles, and gentlemen. ”
Only then did the Emperor of the Apocalypse understand what Zhang Jingyi meant, so he said: "You mean, these people sit and talk about the Tao, and everything they say horizontally and vertically makes sense, so we will never be able to argue with them?" ”
"The problem is that there is no point in arguing or not, their words are reasonable, even if Your Majesty talks to him for a day and a night, what is the point? They are scholars, and although they are supported like Your Majesty, they can talk about their hearts and minds, and they can sit and talk about the Tao, but Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and if the world is prosperous, Your Majesty will be prosperous, and if the world is resting, Your Majesty will rest, can Your Majesty waste a great time on this battle of tongues? ”
In fact, the minister did not agree with his words, his so-called world is the master, the king is the guest, the so-called people and nobles are light, it looks beautiful, but in fact? In all dynasties, when the Son of Heaven is no longer binding, what will be the result? In fact, to put it bluntly, the people they are talking about are the people in front of them, and they are the people when they talk about the so-called world at every turn? In fact, this people are not the other people. ”
Zhang Jingyi said again: "Those rising rogues, they are also people, but why would these people prefer to fall into the grass." These scholars, as well as those who were attacked by the rogues, are also the people, so why do these 'people' hate the rogues to the bone? You see, Your Majesty, in fact, the fundamental problem is that they generalize the 'people', although in private, they divide people into three, six, nine, and so on, and despise this today and despise that tomorrow, but once it is time to demonstrate to the imperial court, they will inevitably have to represent the world and ask for the people's lives. Some people, with 3,000 mansions, are full of slaves, have fine clothes and food, and live a fairy-like life. Therefore, the people should not generalize, but should clearly distinguish different people, understand their different living conditions, and formulate strategies to suppress or help relief in a timely manner, which is what the emperor should do! ”
"As for the so-called "Lord of the World, the Lord of the World, and the Monarch is the Guest" of this Confucian scholar. What a thing he is! Can the world be said in a word by a few of his people who don't do anything to produce? The so-called chaos in the world is not the rise and fall of one surname, this is not wrong, but the surname of a hundred families, the people of the world, is what he can represent? ”
After a pause, Zhang Jingyi raised his eyebrows and continued: "What the minister is worried about now is precisely who is behind this scholar, who is encouraging these remarks. If it is those people who are really unclothed and occupy ninety percent of the world, then Your Majesty should take this as a warning. This shows that the people are already angry with His Majesty. But if it is the remarks of some people who are full of food and clothes all day long, and oppress the people in the locality, then Your Majesty must also be vigilant! ”
"Because of these people, their appetite has become bigger and bigger, and they no longer just want to get involved in the various privileges given to them by the imperial court on weekdays, but want to get involved in the monarchy."
The Emperor of the Apocalypse felt a chill in his heart when he heard this, and couldn't help but say: "I understand what you mean, when you say this, I am more and more like a man, especially what this person said, and the words of the Donglin Party can be described as the same, no, even more radical than those Donglin." ”
Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but sigh.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was too rough, and the original party struggle, the struggle between the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party had become increasingly intense, but the Emperor of the Apocalypse directly retreated into the background and let Wei Zhongxian kill on a large scale.
Of course...... In the Donglin case, six or seven people were killed, and after all, there were only six Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Wei Dazhong, Zhou Chaorui, Yuan Huazhong, and Gu Dazhang, and more than 50 people were removed from their posts.
This is the murder of the six gentlemen of Donglin, who was famous for a while and made people in the world hear about it.
But because he killed six people, until now, he is still being used as ironclad evidence of Wei Zhongxian's cruelty and the deafness of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
To know...... In this era, how many people are dying like cutting wheat, and those ordinary people who are thousands of miles away from the ground are dead and dead, not even counting the numbers, but these six people were immediately set up as spiritual idols.
As for the more than 50 people who were dismissed, after they were dismissed and returned to their hometowns, they were even more respected by countless people, and they have already become a symbol of upright men and gentlemen.
So on the surface, it seems that the final result is that the eunuch party gains power, and Wei Zhongxian uses the most brutal means to become nine thousand years old.
But in fact...... Victory or defeat is not determined.
In Donglin, which has lost the support of imperial power, there have begun to gradually show signs of theoretical innovation, and they are no longer just concerned about family affairs, national affairs, and everything in the world, but under the great disappointment of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, the signs of hypocrisy began to appear.
The gentry and scholars in Jiangnan also began to become popular with this new idea, and they maintained an uncooperative attitude towards the imperial court or the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
After all, the Emperor of the Apocalypse reused Wei Zhongxian and stationed a large number of mining and commercial tax guards in Jiangnan, which had completely made the contradiction public.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was obviously still angry, and said with anger: "It's just, did I let these people mess around? ”
Zhang Jing said: "There is a way, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, Your Majesty...... This scholar, the minister will take care of himself, the affairs of Jiangnan, it is not possible to solve it overnight, the minister thinks, or please Your Majesty and relax, after all, it is just a show, the so-called show talent rebellion, three years will not be, this is not an urgent matter. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse sighed, and finally calmed down under Zhang Jingyi's persuasion, and said, "It has to be like this." ”
In fact, Zhang Jingyi didn't say a word, that is...... On the surface, this is just Xiucai's rebellion, but in fact, behind Xiucai, there is the disgust of countless generations rooted in Jiangnan for hundreds of years for the imperial court, which has reached the point of not sharing the sky!
If they continue to let it go, or the Emperor of the Apocalypse will reactivate the Donglin Party in order to gain their trust, and obey everything he says!
Why...... This public rebellion is actually only a matter of time.
The next day, the Emperor of the Apocalypse drove back to the palace with a depressed mood.
It's just that he has just returned to the capital.
Huang Taiji, who came back from Liaodong, brought a news that made people feel alarmist.
As soon as Zhang Jing returned to his residence, Huang Taiji was already waiting anxiously here.
Zhang Jingyi's attitude towards Huang Taiji is cold, he just uses this guy, using Huang Taiji to divide the Jiannu people, and he really doesn't have any deep friendship with this guy!
But Huang Taiji took the lead and said: "I have something important to play, and it is best to meet the emperor in person." ”
