Chapter 507: The essence is to forget the roots
Yang Yiqing and other important ministers could not persuade Lu Wan to give up helplessly, and then entered the palace gate.
Lu Wan carried the coffin to the court, but it was impossible for the coffin to be carried into the palace, otherwise it would really become a joke, so the coffin was left outside the Chengtian Gate, the meaning was very simple, if Lu Wan died or was sentenced to death, he would just take the coffin and go home with the body.
What happened outside the palace was naturally told to Zhu Houwei, and when he learned that Lu Wan was going to die, Zhu Houwei was stunned at first, and then just sneered: "Death advice...... I didn't expect Daming to have such iron-clad pure ministers, this is to nail me to the pillar of shame in history and never turn over, it's okay, some things are hidden and tucked away after all, and the foreign dynasty wants to have a showdown, so I met their wishes. ”
Ren Xing said worriedly: "Your Majesty, Lu Wan's move ...... your Majesty's reputation."
"Reputation?" Zhu Houwei said with a smile: "Since I ascended the throne, there have been countless reform measures, if everything is expected to be famous, how many of these reforms can be accomplished?"
In my eyes, Confucianism, which has been poisoned by science, is slipping farther and farther away on the road of no return, and now there is still salvation, if it is not rectified, I am afraid that in another few tens or hundreds of years, the Confucian ministers and ministers may only be described as rare, and when those moths fill the world, the Ming Dynasty will not be too far from the day of the death of the country.
When the interruption continues, it will be chaotic! The only way to deal with shameless people is to use a way that is even more shameless than them.
Lu Wan wants to die, if this matter had been placed a few years ago, I might have been worried, and even cast a mouse taboo, but now, he asks for death, and I will fulfill him! ”
Ren Xing smiled bitterly, which reform in history was not accompanied by bloody wind and rain, it can be said that if any reform of the Jiajing Dynasty was changed to another dynasty, it would be impossible to kill his head and blood flowing, but in the Jiajing Dynasty, it was done so silently......
With so many major changes, the total number of people killed by Emperor Jiajing did not exceed 10,000, and now looking back, I can only describe it in four words: unbelievable.
Ren Xing is also born in the inner study, and his knowledge and even insight are definitely not much worse than those of foreign officials, in his understanding, the easiest way for the emperor to reform is to push a minister out to lead, in that case, the success of the reform is the emperor's credit, and if the reform fails, it will also be borne by the minister who leads the reform.
As for curbing the power of officials, it is also very simple, either vigorously support the nobles or support the eunuchs, with these two forces that are naturally opposed to the officials, it is not easy for the courtiers to limit the imperial power!
But Emperor Jiajing didn't, he did everything himself, but there was no taboo to roll up his sleeves and end up by himself, but once he faced the current situation, even the emperor would inevitably be restrained.
It's not that Ren Xing feels that the emperor doesn't give him power, so that he doesn't have the same scenery as his predecessors, in fact, like Wang Zhen and Liu Jin, he leans towards the government and the opposition, but in the end it may not be worth exchanging his life, but Ren Xing feels that as the personal companion of the Son of Heaven, he can't share the worries of the Son of Heaven at such a critical time, and he really blames himself.
"What do you want to do so much?" Zhu Houwei saw that Ren Xing's mood was low, and said with a smile: "Since the moment I was determined to innovate, I knew that this day would come sooner or later, the governance of the Ming League involved the foundation of Confucianism in governing the world, at this time, if no one from Confucianism jumped out, to be honest, I would be very disappointed, and I would also feel that the big moves behind were not challenging, okay, don't make a bitter face, and prepare to go to court."
"What Your Majesty said is that the slaves are too worried." The gloom on Ren Xing's face dissipated a lot.
At the end of the day, the ministers gathered in the main hall to welcome the holy drive of Emperor Jiajing.
"Ascension!"
"The ministers knock on my emperor, my emperor is saintly." The ministers paid their respects.
"I'm bowing down, all of you are flat."
"Something to start playing......" Ren Xing's formulaic words were just halfway said, and the last half was swallowed back raw, because the emperor called Pingshen, and the ministers were also flat, but there was an exception......
Lu Wan still knelt there straight and didn't move......
"Lu Aiqing."
"The minister is here, the minister has this play!" After Lu finished speaking, he raised his hands above his head.
Ren Xing took the chapter and handed it to Zhu Houwei, and when Zhu Houwei finished reading it, he put it aside casually and said: "Lu Aiqing thinks that I formed the Daming League, which is a precedent in history, and I have never heard of a precedent in history for a king to establish an alliance, so let me cancel the Daming League, what do you Aiqing think?"
Yang Yiqing sighed in his heart, he knew Emperor Jiajing too well, forming the Ming League and developing people from all over the world to be members of the alliance, such a thing could never be thought up by the emperor as soon as he patted his head.
This kind of thing must be a decision made after careful consideration and repeated weighing, that is to say, if you want the emperor to abolish the well-thought-out policy, there is almost no possibility, if this policy is abolished, Emperor Jiajing will be tantamount to slapping his own face, and will inevitably become the laughing stock of the world's interest classes.
Therefore, Yang Yiqing is not optimistic about Lu Wan's death at all, and also thinks that he is humiliating himself, but Lu Wan is in the bureau but he doesn't know it.
But as the first assistant of the cabinet, Yang Yiqing knew that he had to stand up and work a little harder at this time, no matter how unwilling he was at this time.
"The minister thinks that Lu Yuan's advice is not unreasonable." Yang Yiqing said stubbornly: "The ministers think that it is meaningless to form an alliance, and the ministers know that His Majesty's original intention to establish the Daming League is with good intentions, and he wants talents from all walks of life to work together to govern the world, but the soldiers are vulgar, the businessmen are profit-seeking, and the craftsmen are not educated.
"The ministers seconded the proposal."
"The ministers seconded the proposal."
One after another, the officials in the court hall and even the officials outside the hall all seconded the proposal, but they were already kneeling.
This time, Zhu Houwei did not shout flat, but sneered: "Yang Aiqing said well, what he said is really good, then I want to ask the princes of the Manchu Dynasty, the soldiers are vulgar, who protects your safety, businessmen seek profit, how can the world be prosperous without businessmen, craftsmen are not educated, but in this world, who makes you live in peace."
Scholars look down on all non-scholar classes, but they don't know that Sheji is a big tree, and the scholars and businessmen are all the branches and leaves on this big tree, without their contributions, where would the scholars have the opportunity to study with peace of mind, do they expect the scholars to pick up swords and guns to defend against foreign enemies, and expect the scholars to make goods and objects by themselves, to grow food, and to be self-sufficient?
Confucianism has been inherited for thousands of years, and its essence is to educate all the people in the world, know etiquette, and know honor and disgrace, but today, is Confucianism still the Confucianism of the past?
In my view, Confucianism looks down on all non-scholar classes and even on scholars without merit, and its essence is to forget its roots! ”
