Chapter 998: The court asks about politics

"New Thought" undoubtedly caused an uproar in Chang'an.

The moon is in the sky, and the stars are shining.

Qin Huaidao faced the night sky, looking at the endless stars, thinking about the future for the people of the whole world.

As early as when he was conquering Li Tai, he was thinking about what he wanted. After seeing many hardships, he realized that the immutable structure of imperial power and a stable emperor were not the results he wanted to pursue, and it was his true thoughts to bring changes to the whole world and promote the entire Han ideology and progress.

Now that I'm here, I have to do something.

"Where there is oppression, there is resistance" is just the starting point for him to launch the entire trend of thought, and he wants to ignite the spark of freedom in this Han Dynasty with a complete feudal system.

The civil and military officials showed incomprehension, doubt, and even accusation.

Today, in the Chang Dynasty, hundreds of civil and military officials gathered.

Qin Huaidao saw the menacing situation from their eyes, it seems that some officials should have contacted them privately, except for some martial arts who were full of expression, and the civil officials were ready to move.

Rao is like this, Qin Huaidao's face is still calm, and the courtiers below can't see any attitude from his face, only a hard body and firm faith.

When it comes to hard bones, there are also many celebrities among civil officials.

The new Guozi Supervisor Jiu Guo Zheng had a gloomy face, and not long after the new champion entered the Guozi Prison and took office, he was beaten down, and an official of the Guozi Prison walked out from behind him.

Dr. Guozijian, Zhenguan was born in the fifth year of Jinshi, and Lu Yannian of Jiangnan Province.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to report." Lu Yannian held the fold in his hand and handed it to the secretary and supervisor Wei Shuwan, who forwarded it to His Majesty, Qin Huaidao threw the fold in his hand, and replied angrily: "I know that you have a lot of criticisms about the remarks on the Chang'an Daily, what do you think, you can speak freely in this court today." ”

"Okay," Lu Yannian heard His Majesty speak, immediately straightened his waist, and spoke to His Majesty on the dragon chair without squinting: "The minister believes that everyone mentioned by His Majesty in the Chang'an Daily is equal, and this matter cannot be done. ”

As soon as this remark came out, the whole house was shocked.

If it were in normal times, I am afraid that someone would have jumped out to impeach Lu Yannian, after all, he openly contradicted His Majesty at the court meeting, and vetoed the ideas put forward by His Majesty.

However, at such a special moment, only Guo Zhengyi stood up.

"Dr. Lu, you are so bold, you eat the king's lu, do things for Your Majesty, can't you see Your Majesty's holy will, he wants to set up a banner for the people of the world, and turn the Han into an ideal country where everyone is equal, do you want to guide Your Majesty how to govern the country?"

Guo Zhengyi's big hat was buttoned down, but Lu Yannian was not in a hurry, obviously coming prepared.

"This is true, Guo Saijiu, you, the newly appointed chief of the country, have just set foot in the officialdom, and you don't understand the distinction between the government and the people, let alone the meaning of the people, since ancient times, if everyone is equal, where is the majesty of Your Majesty? Where is the majesty of the hundred officials? If we go down to the state highway and the people do not obey the law and the will, how should we deal with ourselves? ”

His words made many people in the court nod their heads frequently to express their support.

Guo Zhengyi has some enlightenment.

The questions of the imperial examination are not only to test the thinking and level of the students of this year, but also to prepare for today's court debate.

He sighed: "Lu Yannian, I advise you not to be alarmist, Your Majesty's intention is not to disobey the law and not to obey the will, but to establish a dynasty that governs the country according to law, under the rule of law, everyone is equal, the official is not more expensive than the people, and the people are not cheaper than the officials. ”

Lu Yannian laughed, referring to Guo Zhengyi: "What is the rule of law? What does it mean that the world is guilty of the same crime as the common people? It means that as long as Your Majesty makes a mistake, can you Guo Zhengyi behead Your Majesty? ”

"Bold." Many martial artists looked at Lu Yannian coldly, ready to do it at any time.

Xue Rengui opened his mouth and said: "The debate of the court is only in reason, Dr. Lu is so majestic, he actually talked about His Majesty, do you and I don't exist?" ”

It stands to reason that the argument is at this point, and it is almost time to stop, but he, Lu Yannian, prefers to be this madman.

"Look at it," he looked around at these martial artists who followed His Majesty from birth to death, and said with a cold smile: "But whenever I say that Your Majesty is not, you are ready to draw your sword against each other, this is the greatest inequality." ”

"In that case, the equality that Your Majesty talks about is nothing but empty words."

This remark was like an accurate bomb, blowing up the rebuttal of Guo Zhengyi and others.

Yes, isn't the situation above the court the greatest inequality? If this situation cannot be changed, how can we talk about the concept of equality for all?

The faces of the martial artists became extremely ugly, they were not good at arguing, and now none of the points put forward by Lu Yannian could refute them, even Guo Zhengyi could only look at this Dr. Guozijian with resentment.

Qin Huaidao did not look at Lu Yannian, but at Wei Zheng.

Since Lu Yannian spoke, Wei Zheng has kept his head down and has not spoken, how can he not know the attitude of this Lord Yushitai, who is famous for daring to speak out?

Official controversy, without the signal of these big people, would never dare to do this in the court.

"Lord Wei, what do you think?" Qin Huaidao asked Wei Zheng directly.

Wei Zheng sighed and walked out and saluted solemnly to Qin Huaidao.

Under the gaze of countless courtiers, Wei Zheng finally expressed his attitude.

"Your Majesty, the ceremony must not be abolished."

This sentence was like a thousand catties of heavy burden pressed on Qin Huaidao, and he heard what Wei Zheng meant, this ceremony not only talks about etiquette since ancient times, but also represents the respect and humility between the monarch and the subjects.

Qin Huaidao looked around and looked at everyone: "What do you mean?" ”

Except for a few generals who followed Qin Huaidao to death and a few officials who were promoted in this imperial examination, everyone bowed their heads: "Your Majesty, the ceremony cannot be abolished." ”

Seeing these officials make such a gesture one by one, Cheng Yanjin laughed out loud in the Taiji Hall, and his laughter was particularly harsh to Lu Yannian's ears.

I saw Cheng Yanjin take a step forward and scold these officials.

"You shameless things, Your Majesty proposes that all men are equal, and you will lead by example and coerce Your Majesty in such a posture, and if Your Majesty wants to prove the idea that all men are equal, you will be coerced by you to cancel the New Deal; If Your Majesty enforces the decree, are you going to fight to the death in order to prove that Your Majesty's idea that all men are equal is a fallacy? ”

"Being in his position and not doing anything, staring at his own interests as an official all day long, and feeling superior to others, this is your pursuit of being an official?" Cheng Biting Jin's words are deafening.
