Xie Jin paused slightly.

Then, he continued to say bitterly: "The sage said: The ancient is the government, and the lover is great. He also said: The trip of the avenue, the world is a public ......"

He continued: "Whatever the people want, the heavens will follow." What's more: the people are only Bangben, Bengu Bangning! ”

Zhu Fuzi explained in the "Interpretation of the Book of Rites": People are the foundation of the country, and they are the foundation of government, and loving people is great, that is, loving the people is great. People are the foundation of the country, and the people are the foundation of the country. Therefore, when the world is governed, then the world is owned by the people of the world. Whatever the people want, the heavens will follow it. Since the will of the people is higher than the will of heaven, if the people of the world want, even the will of heaven must obey. The most holy teacher is to warn future generations that the people are the foundation of the country, and only when the foundation is stabilized, the country will naturally be stable. ”

He immediately said: "Since there have been Confucian saints, since then there have been Mencius and other saints, from the Qin and Han dynasties to the Tang and Song dynasties, and Zhu Fuzi, Lu Fuzi, and there are today's Confucianism, but what is Confucianism, what is the Tao?" It's nothing more than the three words "people-oriented". ”

"It's just this pile, one thing after another, Your Majesty, the ministers are in Java, I heard the rumors of the merchants and the various officials and gentry in Middle-earth bullying the people, and the piles and gentry are all like punishments. How did the world come to such a point, the government is not clear, the people are uneasy, the people are uneasy, then the foundation of the country will be shaken, the country will be shaken, the world will be in danger, the current state, it is not an exaggeration to say that the etiquette is broken, the result of the collapse of the etiquette and music...... It started from the scholars and doctors who acted arbitrarily and regarded the people as pigs and dogs. ”

His words shook the rubble.

At this time, Xie Jin has regained the state of scolding Fang Xuan in the court more than ten years ago.

He seems to have been born to belong to that kind of dazzling person, no matter which position he stands, he always shines.

It's just that his light in the past inevitably made Zhang Anshi feel an eyesore.

Can ...... now This seems to be a halo, but it teaches Zhang Anshi to feel much more pleasing to the eye.

Zhu Di was as silent as death.

Baiguan originally liked this kind of big truth the most, but today, such a big truth makes people can't help but be shocked.

"Dismissal ......"

After all, there are still people who come out with anger.

Everyone looked at it, but it was a Hanlin.

This Hanlin is still too young, and it is obviously not yet the time to get involved in all kinds of evils and be manipulated.

It is precisely because the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers that he said angrily: "Since Xie Gong said that the etiquette is broken, dare to ask the Jiegong, what is the reason for the failure of the etiquette?" As far as the lower officials know, today the lower course has been changed, and since the revision of the new policy, this ritual music has been abolished, and the book of the saints has been read by fewer and fewer people......"

Xie Jin sneered and was silent.

There was no response in the middle of the ring, and Han Lin deliberately raised his voice and said, "Why didn't Xie Gong say anything? ”

He was aggressive.

Xie Jin said slowly: "If you read the books of the sages, can you resume the weekly rites?" I've never heard of this? ”

This Hanlin raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't it?" ”

Xie Jin sighed and said: "You read, you only read a fur, it seems that ...... Although you know these four books and five classics by heart, you can't comprehend them at all, but they are just rotten Confucianism, which is a pity. ”

As he spoke, Xie Jin showed a sad look.

Hanlin color change.

Xie Jin said: "In the Analects of Yao Yue, it was said: Because of the benefits of the people, they will benefit. In "The Analects of the People's Republic of China", it is also said that it supports the people and benefits the people, and it makes the people righteous. Excuse me, what do you mean by these two sentences? ”

Han Lin subconsciously said: "This ...... This naturally means ......"

Without waiting for him to continue, Xie Jin said, "I'll answer." This means that the imperial court should encourage the people to do things that are beneficial to themselves, and the interests of the imperial court are born for the interests of the people. This second sentence, that is, the foundation of the imperial court, is to teach the people to get benefits, and when the people need it, they should abide by morality. ”

Speaking of this, Xie Jin glanced at this Hanlin with disdain, and continued with disdain: "The way of the sage is broad and profound, and when you read, you only read a so-called benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, and music, and only remembered the sentence 'li', but you forgot that what the sage taught throughout was the word 'hui'. ”

】

He patiently continued, "What is Megumi? Liya! Only by satisfying the needs of the people for profit, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and get what they want, can the world be governed. It's a pity that you, a rotten Confucian, have studied hard for ten years, and what you have learned is just the so-called etiquette that has nothing to say. ”

Xie Jin said: "There is also such an exposition in "The Analects and Yan Yuan", that is: The people are sufficient, and the monarch is insufficient? The people are insufficient, and the king is sufficient. It can be seen that what Confucianism advocated in my generation is to make the people rich, because when the people are rich, the king will also be rich, and the country will also enter the extreme. But what are you thinking about? It's just the so-called external etiquette, what kind of rites do kings use, what kind of rituals do princes use, and what kind of rituals do scholars use? Such a simple knowledge, dare to talk in the temple, and get an axe? ”

Han Lin's face changed slightly.

Xie Jin said: "Since you talked about the new deal, then...... This new policy is exactly the idea of the sage, the way of the sage, that is, the way of enriching the people, the essence of the way of the sage lies in benevolence, benevolence and love for others, and it is the holy study. Now I look at Shandong, and see the Zhili Prefecture under the new policy, who can teach the people to get benefits, who guides the people to make profits, it can be said that it is obvious to all. ”

Then, Xie Jin's face turned cold, and he continued: "But you, a rotten Confucian, although you are young, you are like a stubborn and imminent immortal old man, here you are noisy, parroting a few words of the Four Books and Five Classics, you dare to be presumptuous, so vainly talking about the new policy, talking about sacred science, it is really rotten wood, and now you are in the same dynasty with a person like you, it is really the most shameful thing in your life!" ”

This Hanlin was scolded bloody, and tried his best to refute and fight back.

But where is there such a momentum as Xie Jin, not to mention his high-minded talk, although every sentence comes from Xie Jin's mouth, but every sentence has rules to follow.

To put it bluntly, they are all the words of the sages recorded in the Analects, and they do not give people any room for refutation.

Zhang Anshi couldn't help but be happy when he heard it.

After falling silent in this hall, he said coldly: "Yes, I think the same way, I only have saints in my heart!" ”

Xie Jin didn't pay attention to Zhang Anshi.

But he turned to Zhu Di and said: "The minister has received the grace of His Majesty, and since he is extraordinarily gracious, and the quasi-minister enters the cabinet, how can the minister dare to have a vegetarian meal?" I beg Your Majesty to make your will clear, thoroughly investigate the evils of the world like Shandong, get to the root of the problem, and sweep away the grievances of the world. The matter ...... The minister can preside over as a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, select personnel, and go to all prefectures and counties in the world to read the old eucalyptus and clean it up. ”

The more Xie Jin spoke, the more distressed he became, if he knew this, he should have said directly: "Your Majesty...... If the rule of officials is not clarified, the people will be wronged, the people will be wronged, and no matter how much the court benefits the people, it is just empty talk. We should follow the example of Beijing and conduct a general inspection of all the state capitals in the world, so that the world can be returned to a bright and prosperous world, so that the decrees of the imperial court can be implemented, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. ”

Say goodbye, bow down, and make a big salute.

Then there was deathly silence in the temple.

Jingcha ...... For the minister, it is definitely not a good thing.

Although the Ming Dynasty had a system of Jingcha, except for the time of Emperor Taizu Gao, it was quite harsh, and it has slowly relaxed since then.

After all, the troublesome ministers are complaining, and it really doesn't look good.

Therefore, when Emperor Taizu Gao, it was checked every three years, and since then, it has become a ten-year check.

Ten years is enough, and then later, it just becomes a pretense.

What's more, Jingcha is only based on the Beijing officials to investigate, and now Xie Jin is directly mad, and he actually wants to sort out the officials and grievances in the world, which is even worse than when Emperor Taizu Gao.

Zhang Anshi listened, but was speechless.

This is the solution...... In the past, he was very reckless, but now when he returns to the court, he is even more reckless.

Zhang Anshi had a deep impression of Jingcha, because he vaguely remembered that when Ming Wuzong was in power, the eunuch Liu Jin carried out a certain restructuring, and the direction of it, in addition to eliminating more than 1,000 redundant officials, was to carry out frequent Jingcha, which was so stirred up that many people were dismissed because of this.

What's even more murderous is that Liu Jin also set his sights on the Hanlin Academy, and the rule of the imperial court has always been that Hanlin officials generally do not serve outside, but Liu Jin directly sent a large number of Hanlin out to serve as magistrates.

So...... really offended Qingliu completely, because Qingliu is the main force in the cabinet, once he is released as a magistrate, then the noble identity of this Hanlin will be completely gone, but it will be reduced to an inferior and turbidity.

It's okay, Liu Jin actually did something to the Yin Guan.

Originally, since the Ming Dynasty, all ministers would give a certain qualification as a reward, for example, a second-grade minister, his son, can canonize an official body. But Liu Jin was in charge of the affairs and narrowed the scope of gifts for civil officials and relatives. That is, those who have political achievements from one product can be gifted. Officials between the second and fifth grades, regardless of their political achievements, will not be given gifts. Honorable ministers must have military merits, civilian grades or above, and must have outstanding political achievements before they can be awarded. If the political performance is mediocre, all officials will not be given bonuses, regardless of their rank.

Naturally, Liu Jin also offended the anger of the public, and the final outcome was ...... It was Ling Chi who was put to death.

Zhu Di was already furious.

At this time, he was resentful that there were so many things to deceive and conceal from the subordinates, even though he knew that there were many grievances in the world, but he never thought that it was to the extent of resentment.

Hearing Xie Jin's words, he lowered his eyebrows slightly, and said: "What the Qing family played is indeed related to the country, the matter has come to this point, and it is no longer possible to continue to appease, Xie Qing is willing to share my worries, then there is Lao Xie Qing......"

Zhu Di paused, and then said: "Order, Xie Qing is the secretary of the ministry!" ”

Dropping this sentence, without waiting for the ministers to react, Zhu Di had already brushed his sleeves away.

But as soon as he heard the four words of the official book, the ministers directly changed color.

The official is a heavenly official, but ...... The scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion here is the secretary of the ministry, and it is more of a part-time job, in fact, the imperial court already has a full-time secretary of the ministry.

This is tantamount to...... In normal times, Xie Jin is a university scholar, but once Xie Jin needs it, he can also grasp the situation of the ministry as a secretary of the ministry...... Or even dominant.

In the early days of Yongle, the scholars of Wenyuange were more of a private secretary.

But gradually, as the scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion became more and more prominent because of their proximity to the center, and the scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion were actually just five grades in theory.

However, as the matter of participating in government affairs became more and more onerous, in order to establish the authority of Wenyuan Pavilion, in the seventeenth year of Yongle, Zhu Di began to confer the titles of Yang Rongren and other scholars and waiters, which was regarded as confirming their identity as Zaifu.

In general, Wenyuankaku University Scholar, or Rite Department Scholar, or Household Department Scholar.

The situation of the Ministry of Officials is special, Zhu Di did not grant it, but now that it is good, he directly awarded the Ministry of Officials, and his thoughts are self-evident.

Zhu Di said that, he didn't care about the ministers anymore, and walked away directly.

He had a cold face, his face seemed to be puffed up, and he looked angry at this time, but after all, he was old, and he had passed the age of killing people in person, but the four characters of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials that he left behind, his murderous intent was already exposed.

As soon as Zhu Di drove away, the palace was in an uproar.

The ministers were at a loss, and the ministers involved in the Shandong political envoy were even more pale and did not say a word.

The rest of the people seemed to be worried.

They were still thinking about how to solve the charter between the crown prince and Zhang Anshi, and mess up the matter that the chief assistant must start from the long history of the vassal state.

Can ...... now Who still has the leisure to do this? After all...... Next, life and black yarn hat may be gone, what future do you still pay attention to?

Xie Jin didn't say a word after Zhu Di left, after he thanked him, rolled up his sleeves, hurried away, didn't squint, and left everyone behind.

Zhang Anshi ignored the wonderful faces of the ministers, and rushed to the side of the crown prince Zhu Gaochi.

I saw him muttering excitedly: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, look, I'll just say that I have a good heart, I'm already very kind to others, but there are always people outside who misunderstand me......"

Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhang Anshi's smug expression, a little speechless, but he didn't show his face, only coughed lightly, and still put on a calm posture of a prince, and only said: "Don't chatter endlessly, you must have courtiers." ”

Zhang Anshi was still so excited that he couldn't control himself, but under the gaze of his brother-in-law, he still nodded reluctantly and tried to put on a ...... Serious look.

And the officials dispersed worriedly.

The rebuke and impeachment that had been prepared were now wasted paper.

You must know that at this time, the attack and impeachment will not only directly stand on the opposite side of Xie Jin, but also become the main target of Xie Jin, who has the power of 'Jingcha'.

And...... It will also look ...... I may have committed something, so I want to bring down this Xie Gong, who is the master of the people.

In any case, it's better to stop some for now!

What's more, there is an impending storm to parry next, and the ghost knows if he can get through it.

So the more people thought about it, the more they looked like dead ashes, and their faces were like mourning.

Yang Rong also hurriedly returned to Wenyuan Pavilion.

In Wenyuan Pavilion, someone had already cleaned up a duty room for Xie Jin.

Xie Jin went to Wenyuan Pavilion first, and then went to his duty room, and then the door was closed.

The housekeepers in Wenyuan Pavilion were silent one by one, and they didn't dare to come out, these people were the most well-informed, and they were already a little frightened at this time.

When Yang Rong and the others came back, Jin Youzi returned to his duty room with a heavy heart.

Hu Guang went to Yang Rong's duty room excitedly.

Looking at Hu Guang who followed behind, Yang Rong asked knowingly: "Hu Gong, why don't you go back to your room?" There are many more votes to be made. ”

Hu Guang put on a serious attitude and said, "Yang Gong, didn't you realize that something big was going to happen in the imperial court?" ”

Yang Rong glanced at Hu Guang with a meaningful look, but said calmly: "Really? What's the matter? ”

Hu Guang changed his seriousness at this time and said, "Xie Gong...... So...... Really...... Really...... Hey, somehow, I'm worried and excited at the same time. ”

The concern is understandable.

And the reason why he was excited was that Hu Guang was bitter by those officials in Henan and Guanzhong, and he still remembers it vividly.

When you think of these guys...... Someone finally cleaned it up, and it was inevitable that there would be a little bit of blood and coldness.

Yang Rong seemed to be amused by Hu Guang's appearance, and said with a smile: "Xie Gong...... In doing so, it is actually self-preservation, believe it or not? ”

"Self-preservation?" Hu Guang looked puzzled.

Yang Rong said: "When you make too many enemies, it is easy to dodge open guns and difficult to defend against dark arrows, and the longer it passes, the more dangerous it becomes." But Duke Xie had to make enemies, because he had been in the cabinet for a long time, and his clan was still in Java, so he had to face these open guns and arrows. ”

Hu Guangshen nodded approvingly, and sighed with emotion: "Xie Gong is really ill-fated!" ”

Yang Rong said: "Instead of preventing thieves for a thousand days, then it is better to ...... Catch a thief every day! In the art of war, there is a saying called attacking as defense, which is the principle, the more ruthless he attacks, the more he can keep himself safe. So next...... You have to open your eyes to see how this Xie Gong is going on a killing spree. ”

Hu Guang said worriedly: "Wouldn't this offend people to death even more?" ”

Yang Rong smiled and said: "You have to be offended horizontally and vertically, and there is no choice anyway." But if it's just a lonely defense, it's always a hundred secrets, and sooner or later it's going to get into trouble, it's better to simply offend to death, but take this opportunity, but you can get the full support of the palace, after all, ...... He did this in order to clear the evils of the world and relieve the worries of the people. ”

Hu Guang showed a look of sudden realization, gritted his teeth and said: "I see, I also said that his temperament has changed greatly!" Originally...... Or calculated. Oops, you people...... Tsk......"

Hu Guang shook his head as he spoke, feeling a little sad for Yang Rongren and the others.

I couldn't help but complain in my heart, these people really have too many eyes, and they don't have the simple and simple spirit of a reader!

Yang Rong heard the meaning of Hu Guang's words, so he said: "Don't talk about this, go back and prepare." Those protégés and former officials of yours, as well as many classmates and peers, are afraid that when the time comes, they will all swarm to find you to rescue. ”

Hu Guang's face tensed, and he said very unhappily: "Who does Yang Gong treat me as?" Most of them are gentlemen, so they shouldn't be involved......"

"Guess ......," Yang Rong smiled.

Hu Guang's eyebrows jumped, his face changed slightly, but he began to become less convinced.

Yang Rong said: "Remember, next, don't be soft. You don't have to take the kindness of the old days to heart, keep a good attitude, and the fun will be. ”
