295 [Monarch's Subjects]
Seeing that Zhao Han began to read "Yuan Jun", Gu Gao and Wu Yingji were apprehensive.
This article is an exposition of the monarchy's power, the country is like a big business, and the common people are shareholders. And the emperor is the hired big treasurer, and the officials are the hired second, third and semicolon treasurers.
Vaguely revealing the meaning of restricting the power of the monarch.
Although Huang Zongxi was open, he was still quite nervous, and he kept observing Zhao Han's expression.
It was surprising that Zhao Han was actually laughing.
That smile is neither disdainful, nor joyful, nor anger. It's like...... It's hard to describe what Mr. Murajuku is like when he reviews homework for school children.
The article is short and read quickly.
Didn't get angry?
This was beyond Gu Gao and Wu Yingji's expectations, who not only sighed Zhao Han's heart, but also shocked Zhao Han's city mansion. They believe that Zhao Han can tolerate dissent while controlling his emotions, and most of his heart has disliked Huang Zongxi.
Zhao Han asked, "Do you want to limit the power of the monarch?" ”
Huang Zongxi replied: "Generations of holy monarchs are naturally the best, but it is inevitable that there will be a mediocre lord. ”
Zhao Han said with a smile: "You said that the people are shareholders, so may I ask, which are the major shareholders and which are the minority shareholders?" Which shareholders say it counts? ”
Huang Zongxi was stunned.
"Let's talk about it smaller," Zhao Han put down the article, "This firm in the world has 10,000 shareholders. Ten of them are major shareholders, and they can elect the second treasurer, the third treasurer, and the semicolon treasurer. Except for the emperor, the big treasurer, the rest of the treasurers have to listen to the words of the ten major shareholders. The shopkeepers joined forces with major shareholders to fabricate false accounts, short business names, and embezzle. So, who is this big business name? Is it 10 major shareholders or 10,000 all shareholders? ”
Huang Zongxi was confused.
Zhao Han continued: "The Daming firm is a company where the shopkeepers are in a deficit, and the major shareholders swallow up the shares of the minority shareholders, resulting in the firm has been trading at a loss, and it has also been squeezed out of business by the Manchu firms. Chongzhen, as the big shopkeeper, wants to turn the tide, but no one can believe it. While teaching other treasurers a lesson, he forced the shareholders to invest money. The majority shareholders are reluctant to invest money, so let the minority shareholders invest. Minority shareholders have no money and are starving to death. Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong and I are all small shareholders who have been forced to do nothing, so we can only withdraw our capital and build another business. ”
Gu Gao and Wu Yingji's eyes were round, how else can the general trend of the world be described like this?
Zhao Han pointed at Huang Zongxi again: "The so-called Donglin Party and Fushe are either the second shopkeeper or the shareholders who want to be the shopkeeper. You think you can run a prosperous business, but you have been greedy for the money of the business. Even if you are not greedy now, you will be greedy in the future! How many clean officials are there in the world? In my opinion, the Eunuch Party and the Donglin Party are both the same hill...... Do not be angry, I know that you are virtuous, but what good is it to be virtuous in governing the country and the people? ”
Huang Zongxi stood up, arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Mr. for your advice, retire next!" ”
Zhao Han said: "Just live on this boat." ”
The three were taken to the cabin and lived with the secretaries of the army, such as Zheng Sen, Kuang Lu, Wang Dai, and Zhang Jiayu.
When greeting each other, Huang Zongxi took out "The Theory of the Family and the Country", and thought carefully while re-reading it.
The next day, we sailed west.
Huang Zongxi not only made changes to "The Original Monarch", but also wrote two articles "The Original Minister" and "The Original People" one after another.
Taken together, the three articles are roughly as follows:
All the people are born to be raised, and they seek to survive and reproduce through labor. All kinds of industries and industries, there is no distinction between high and low, and they are all creating wealth for the country.
However, people need to resist natural disasters, people need to fight foreign enemies, and they need to mediate disputes and punish crimes. Therefore, there must be a leader, and this person is the monarch of the world.
The monarch is supported by all the people and has supreme power. His power is given by all the people, and it should be for the well-being of all people, otherwise he belongs to an incompetent monarch.
There are many people, the world is too big, and the monarch cannot govern alone, so there is a need for civil and military officials and officials. The way to be a minister is not to be loyal to the king, but to be loyal to the people. Officials do not eat the king's luck, but eat the people's luck.
After the writing of "The Original King", "The Original Minister", and "The Original People", they were first circulated in the cabin.
Kuang Lu exclaimed: "Mr. is talented, this is a strange article!" ”
"This is a curse for the country!" Tao Aizhi was furious, "As a minister, he should be a loyal king." said Mr. Zhao, without him raising his arms and shouting, could there be a situation of great governance in Jiangxi? And all the nations shall be like a flock, and without a sheep to lead the way, they shall be perished in the belly of a tiger or a leopard. It is not the people who provide for Mr. Zhao, but Mr. Zhao who supports the people. We are waiting for the courtiers, eating the king's fortune, and being loyal to the king's business! ”
Zheng Sen, Wang Dai, Zhang Jiayu and others, although they did not speak, all looked thoughtful.
Wu Yingji said: "It's useless for you and me to argue, it's better to ask Mr. Zhao to take a look." ”
"Just go!" Tao Aizhi said with a huff.
Everyone went to the cabin next door, and Huang Zongxi held the manuscript and presented the article.
This time, Zhao Han smiled even more happily, and nodded approvingly: "It's very much in line with me, everyone sit down and talk." ”
Tao Aizhi couldn't help but say: "Zongzhen, this article is a demon. In the future, if someone secretly instigates the establishment of a new dynasty, it may cause great chaos. It is said that the three dynasties of Chenghua, Zhengde, and Jiajing, the people are also hard, if this article is popular, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed as soon as possible, how can there be Zhang Jiangling's change? ”
"It's not as serious as you said, the people can't survive and rebel, whether or not these three articles are the same," Zhao Han said with a smile, "Those Datong theories, as well as these three articles, are not only to teach rebellion, but also to teach monarchs and ministers how to govern the country." The monarch and the ministers were not able to govern the country, and the people should rebel themselves. If my sons and grandchildren are faint kings, the people should also rebel, and the second and third generations will die, and they will bring disaster upon themselves. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was speechless.
How can there be a founding monarch who cursed his own dynasty, the second and third dynasties?
Just when everyone looked at each other, Kuang Lu suddenly knelt on the ground: "Kuang Lu of the South China Sea, I am willing to die for the Lord!" ”
Huang Zongxi also tidied up his clothes, knelt down with the hem of his clothes, and the governor knelt and shouted: "Yuyao Huang Zongxi, I am willing to die for the Lord!" ”
Seeing this, Zheng Sen felt his blood boiling, and he was also ready to come over and bow down.
Zhao Han raised his hand to stop Zheng Sen, and said to the others: "You don't have to kneel, they are willing." The two of them, it is not me who kneels, it is the people of the world who kneel, and I can only accept it on behalf of the people. ”
Zheng Sen said: "I am also willing. ”
"Haha, you are still young, and some truths need to be realized slowly," Zhao Han got up and saluted Kuang Lu and Huang Zongxi in return, "Two gentlemen, please get up." ”
Gu Gao looked at Wu Yingji, and Wu Yingji also looked over, and both of them were in extremely complicated moods.
Their words and deeds in the past were already very radical, and they often posted big-character posters together in Nanjing.
can be compared with Zhao Han, Kuang Lu, and Huang Zongxi, it is simply a small thing.
Zhao Han returned the three articles to Huang Zongxi's hands and admonished: "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, and your articles are not detailed enough." Thou hast bound only the monarch and the officials, and said what the monarch ought to do, and how the officials ought to be, and how thou hast not bound the peoples? ”
"Restraining the peoples?" Huang Zongxi was puzzled.
Zhao Han asked: "The gentry are strong, are they the people?" Bandits and traitors, are they not people? ”
"Thank you for the Lord's instructions, take it back and make up for it immediately." Huang Zongxi sincerely admired.
Zhao Han said to everyone: "The king, the ministers, and the people, each perform his own duties and have his own share, then the world will be peaceful and the four seas will be rich." If there is a faint king, the minister should advise; If there is a silverfisher, the king should be punished; If there is a traitor, the king and the minister will rule him. Those who cause chaos in the world by fainting kings and ministers, all the people should rise up to reform their lives! ”
Zhao Han pointed at Huang Zongxi: "This passage is also written into the article, and it will be selected into the "Datong Collection" to be published in the world in the future!" ”
Huang Zongxi bowed respectfully, his eyes moistened, and he was sure that he had met the Ming Lord.
And they dispersed.
Gu Gao pulled Wu Yingji to the corner and whispered: "What Mr. Zhao said today reminds me of Taizu's "Imperial Decree". ”
Wu Yingji smiled bitterly: "The Imperial Decree only allows the people to arrest corrupt officials and enter Beijing, but this one is to let the people rebel." But it's not that serious, if the people can have something to eat, they will definitely not rebel. If the world is forced to rebel, it doesn't matter whether there are these articles or not. ”
"This set of remarks is contradictory," Gu Gao said, "Since the rebellion of the people is reasonable, then you and I, as ministers, should we help the people rebel, or help the emperor to quell the chaos?" ”
Wu Yingji said: "If Da Ming is still saved, you and I will naturally help the emperor quell the chaos." Now that Daming is hopeless, aren't you and I here to help the people rebel? Jun's doubts are really superfluous. ”
"Indeed." Gu Gao nodded.
Wu Yingji suddenly had a flash of inspiration, clapped his hands and exclaimed: "This Mr. Zhao is really amazing. As soon as the three articles came out, it not only confirmed that his rebellion was justified, but also confirmed that Emperor Chongzhen was a faint monarch who deserved to be revolutionized. Moreover, the landlord Haoqiang can also be denounced as a traitor, and his policy of forcibly dividing the land is also correct. What Tartar slaves, what rogues, are all troubled people, only he is the real wise monarch of Zhao Zongzhen, Jiangxi! Whatever he does in the future, he will be able to justify it! ”
Gu Gao was stunned, frightened and inexplicable.
He thought that Zhao Han was just enthusiastic and cared for all the people, but he didn't expect that there were so many complicated thoughts!
Wu Yingji said: "The Imperial Decree has been shelved by Chengzu, how long can the "Datong Collection" exist? At most one or two generations of kings, "Datong Collection" will be deleted beyond recognition. ”
"Knock~Knock~~~"
There was a burst of piano sounds, but it was Kuang Lu who was in a happy mood, playing the piano and singing on the deck.
Kuang Lu didn't think as much as Wu Yingji, he was dissolute and uninhibited when he was a teenager, and he visited half of China as a young man to avoid trouble. Listening a lot, seeing a lot, thinking a lot, hearing what Zhao Han said today, I was completely impressed by his open-mindedness.
After another hour, Huang Zongxi came over with the supplemented article: "Please Brother Kuang to help correct it, if there is anything wrong, I will take it to revise it." ”
"Pointing out that it should not be corrected, it is just to confirm each other." Kuang Lu said happily.
These two people have never known each other before, but now they seem to be friends who have known each other for many years.
While they were discussing the article, it was nearly evening, and the fleet was docked between the towns of Estuary and Goose Lake.
After many years, Zhao Han finally returned to Lead Mountain, still with a large army.
