"In the Central Plains Township School, there are many scholars who criticize the current government, and even make nonsense and insult the king......"

Deng Xi didn't dare to continue.

Qingji asked lightly: "What are you insulting the widow?" ”

"These rebellious scholars insult the king as the king of tigers and wolves. Unfaithless, unrighteous, disloyal, unkind, in their minds, you, the king, have become a heinous person! ”

"What!"

Before Qingji could speak, the ministers above the court couldn't help but change color, and they were very angry.

Especially in the imperial history, Cheng Bo said through gritted teeth: "This group of chaotic ministers and thieves, they must be the meticulous work of the Kwantung princes, deliberately smearing the king and my Dawu, so as to misunderstand the world and manipulate the trend of public opinion!" ”

"It's a daredevil!"

"The king, the minister thinks that the king should immediately issue an edict and bring to justice all the disobedient scholars who insult the king and criticize the current government. If it is really confirmed that it is a detailed work of another country, it should be punished canonically, so as to demonstrate the law of the country! ”

Hearing this, Qingji just waved his hand and said with a smile: "Deng Xi, how did the widow become the untrustworthy, unrighteous, disloyal, and unkind person in the mouth of the scholar?" ”

said that Qingji is the king of tigers and wolves, and Qingji can still understand.

After all, over the years, the state of Wu has made too deep an impression on the countries of the Central Plains.

The ferocity of the Wu people has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

However, Qingji still doesn't understand why he has become what the scholars call "heinous"?

In the state of Wu, there is a crime called "ten evils", and ten kinds of felonies are convicted: one is rebellion, two is rebellion, three is rebellion, four is rebellion, five is disobedience, six is great disrespect, seven is unfilial piety, eight is disharmony, nine is injustice, and ten is civil strife.

These ten deadly sins are all contrary to loyalty, filial piety, righteousness, and ethics, and will never be forgiven, so there is a saying that the heinous ones are unforgivable.

"Does the king really want to know the inside story?"

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"The minister can say it, however, please don't condemn the minister to the minister, and forgive the minister first."

"The widow forgives you no sin."

Looking at Deng Xi's cautious appearance, Qingji was angry and funny.

On weekdays, he is a very generous king of a country.

How can you casually condemn your subordinates?

"Ahem."

Deng Xi coughed lightly, then with a sad look on his face, he bowed to Qingji and said, "King, what the scholars in the township school said, the ministers conveyed them one by one. ”

"The king's lack of faith lies in the 'deception of Qin' before the battle to destroy Shu and Qin, and the land promised to the Qin people is 600 li, and it has become six li."

"The king's injustice lies in the fact that after the previous vassal states such as Cai, Xu, and Zhongwu were destroyed because of the Wu state, the king did not help them restore the country."

"The king's disloyalty lies in the fact that he moved the emperor of Zhou to Xianyang under house arrest and occupied the land of the former Zhou Wangji, which was not done by human ministers."

"The king's unkindness lies in the ......"

"Enough!"

Qingji screamed, pressed his hand, and signaled Deng Xi to stop.

"Plop!"

Deng Xi knelt down hurriedly and said, "King, what the minister said is true!" Please see it, the king! ”

Deng Xi would never dare to deceive Qingji.

Because, this kind of thing simply does not stand up to investigation.

"The King."

Bo Yan said fiercely: "Those vertical people are simply bold! Talking about state affairs without saying it, the king, you are the king's father, how dare they attack the king without authorization? ”

"Please punish the king severely for those who violate the law and discipline!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a lot of noise in the court, and all the ministers couldn't help but look at each other, with a strange expression.

Some of them have seen what is happening in the village school, and some have heard of it.

The seriousness of the problem can be imagined.

Once Qingji is to be investigated, none of the scholars can escape!

At this time, Qingji breathed a long sigh of relief, and said surgingly: "The mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan." ”

"The scholars have tongues, and the scholars of the Central Plains, do the widows want to arrest them and cut off their tongues, so that they are strictly forbidden to talk nonsense?"

"The king, the minister thinks that there is no need!"

Deng Xi finally told Qingji his purpose.

"Scholars dare to criticize the state and slander the king, and the root of all disasters lies in the village school."

"The king can destroy the township school, strictly prohibit the people from opening private schools, gather people to discuss politics, and prohibit the people of the eunuchs, so that they can be content with their own business!"

“……”

Qingji fell into deep thought.

"What Ting Wei said, Da Miao also!"

The right prime minister, Kong Qiu, immediately stood up and said loudly: "Township school, how can you destroy it without permission?" In the past, Zisheng ruled Zheng, but Ming advocated the destruction of the township school to prohibit the people from discussing the good and bad of current affairs. ”

"The child did not think so, and said: 'I will do what is good, and I will change what is evil, and I will be my teacher.'" Advice is good for deeds, and good medicine is good for sickness, this is what the king said. ”

"If you destroy the Central Plains or even the rural schools in China, I am afraid that it will cause resentment among the people."

"The scholars don't dare to gather in the township school to discuss politics, and they will slander the national government in private!"

"If it is benevolent, how dare the scholars, and how can they criticize it?"

"Please think twice!"

Township schools are local schools, which are not only places for learning, but also places for recreation and political discussion.

The largest township school within the scope of Wu is none other than the Kong Qiu family.

Confucianist!

In the past, the children used the village school as a place to obtain feedback from scholars discussing political affairs, and they paid attention to adjusting their policies and behaviors according to the opinions of the people.

After Zichan came to power, he attached great importance to listening to the opinions of the people, and also cast the book of punishment on the tripod and announced it to the world, and tried to dredge the relationship between the people of the country and the monarch, which was quite loved by the Zheng people, so that the Zheng country became strong and prosperous......

At that time, Zheng Guo was the engine of the New Deal, and when Confucius talked about benevolent government, he took the New Deal for Zichuan as a model and praised Zichuan as "the way of a gentleman IV".

Kong Qiu's highest ideal is to become a person like the Duke of Zhou, and assist the king of Ming to walk the royal road.

Secondly, if Guan Zhongzhi meets Huan Gong, he can gradually hegemonic and follow the royal road.

However, it is practical to govern a kingdom of a thousand times like a child.

Zichan's rule of Zheng can be described as a civil attempt in Chinese history.

"The king, what the right prime minister said is extremely true!"

The history of Zhisu once pointed out: "The mouth of the scholar is better than sparse." ”

"When the king governs the state affairs, he must make sure that all the ministers and the nobles can present poems that satirize the gains and losses of the court and government, the musicians present the music that reflects the people's feelings, the historians present the history books of the gains and losses of the previous generations, and the Taishi can present exhortatory words, and then the blind musicians will recite and read them."

"Courtiers and officials can directly give advice, Li Shu can convey their opinions to the king, the left and right ministers must fulfill the responsibility of admonishment, relatives and relatives must investigate and make up for the king's mistakes, and musicians and Taishi should be responsible for teaching and educating the king."

"Why not do the words that come out of the mouths of the people, promote the good deeds, and stop the evil deeds?"

After a pause, Zeng nodded and said: "The king set up the Drum and Slander Tree, isn't it just to listen to the people's opinions?" ”

"Now the scholars of the Central Plains are just weighing the pros and cons of the current regime and calculating the gains and losses for the king, how can the king abolish the township school?"

Deng Xi is the originator of Legalism, and Confucius and Zeng Dian are the representatives of Confucianism.

The dispute between Confucianism and law lies in the way they do things.
