Chapter 162: People are also clouds

After a while, Xu Ying gently pushed Zhu Quan away, sighed softly, and said slowly: "But when I think of the more than 140 national eunuchs who beheaded the public the day before yesterday, I always feel that the emperor is too nitpicky and ruthless. Even those ordinary people who went to watch the execution talked about it quietly in private. ”

Zhu Quan stretched out his hand and gently held Xu Ying's little hand, and said with a slight wry smile in his heart: This senior sister is competitive on weekdays, but she is actually soft-hearted. Thinking of this, he suddenly said in a deep voice: "I have seen a fastidious story before, and I only thought it was funny and funny at the time, but now I don't feel funny at all when I see the emperor dealing with these scholars who accept banquets. ”

Xu Ying heard him keep saying that there was a story, blinked, and said strangely: "But what kind of story is it?" ”

Zhu Quan saw her looking at herself with an expectant look on her face, and suddenly pointed at the tip of Xu Ying's slightly upturned nose, and said with a smile: "If this story can convince you, then let me pinch your nose." ”

Xu Ying heard that he was so threatening, she couldn't help but blush, swung her pink fist and slapped Zhu Quan on the shoulder, and said angrily: "If you can't convince me, then I will beat you up." ”

Zhu Quan turned his head, stared into the distance, sorted out his thoughts slightly, and said softly: "In the west, which is far away from us, there is a country called Germany, which is very rich, and his prime minister ....... ”

"Prime Minister? What kind of official is this? Civilian or military attachΓ©? Is it powerful? Xu Ying heard Zhu Quan's strange remarks, and couldn't help but interrupt.

Zhu Quan was stunned by her question, so he had to frown and explain: "This is a civil official, and he has a lot of power anyway, which is equivalent to our prime minister." ”

Xu Ying heard him explain this, understood a little, and couldn't help but ask again: "What's wrong with this prime minister?" ”

Zhu Quan heard "Prime Minister Prime Minister", smiled bitterly in his heart, and continued: "When this prime minister handles official business on a daily basis, he sits in a good car assigned to him by the state. ”

"Civil officials sit in sedan chairs, military attaches ride horses, I have never heard the prime minister sit in a car." Xu Ying couldn't help but interrupt again.

Zhu Quan was really a little anxious about her, and said angrily: "Why do you always like to dwell on these trivial things?" I don't tell stories. East $ Fang $ .com"

Seeing that he was angry, Xu Ying stretched out her tongue, slowly came to his side, hugged his right arm with her arms and shook it gently, revealing a little pitiful color, and said softly: "Tell you the story, I will never interrupt you." After a slight pause, he continued: "Why do you like to blackmail at every turn after you come back from Liaodong?" It's more and more like Shen Peng's profiteer. ”

When Zhu Quan heard her say this, he couldn't help but smile dumbly, and slowly continued: "When this German prime minister was handling official business, he took a good car assigned to him by the state, and there were many guards who followed him all the way to protect him, and these guards also sat in the car. Speaking of this, he turned his head to stare at Xu Ying, and said in a deep voice: "But when this prime minister goes out to do private affairs, such as taking his family on an outing, he can only drive his old car and go out with his wife and children." And his guards still followed him in their cars, and were responsible for protecting him. Speaking of this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh and said: "When I first saw this story before, I thought it was very funny, but when I saw that His Majesty the Emperor sentenced those scholars who accepted the banquet to be beheaded, and saw that he himself was the emperor who ruled the world but was still thrifty and hated luxury and waste, it was really not funny at all. ”

Seeing that he was silent, Xu Ying couldn't help but ask, "Is the story finished?" Seeing Zhu Quan bowing slightly, he relaxed and asked softly: "Since this prime minister is equivalent to a big official as the prime minister, why doesn't he have a good car?" ”

Zhu Quan said in a deep voice: "Although he is a big official, his salary is not high, many doctors and businessmen have more money than him, and his own income is not enough for a family to be luxurious." ”

Xu Ying remembered that although her father Xu Da was the founder of the Ming Dynasty, his family was not a mansion to live in, so he nodded slightly and asked: "Why can this prime minister sit in a good car when he is dealing with official business, and his guards can also take a good car." But when the prime minister goes out to play, he has to change cars, and his guards still sit in the car? It's weird. ”

Zhu Quan pondered for a while, and said softly: "Because when this prime minister is handling official business, he is working for the country and taking the country's good car, which is a matter of course." .com But when he goes out to play, he doesn't work for the country, he can only drive his family's old car. And his guards, no matter what the prime minister goes out for, protect him and work for the country, so they can always sit in the car. ”

"What if this prime minister goes out to play and gets in a car?" Although Xu Ying heard Zhu Quan's words, she still couldn't help but ask with a frown.

Zhu Quan said in a deep voice: "Then this prime minister will be scolded by others, and maybe he will lose his official position because of it." ”

Xu Ying was surprised when she heard this, and couldn't help asking, "Could it be that there are also a lot of inspectors and officials in this country?" ”

Zhu Quan heard her say this, he couldn't help but be stunned, recalling a quote from the scriptures, Zhuo Jing, who said that Sun Xu and others were speechless, and the lowly and powerful household department he served was in the middle of the matter, and recalled that Shangshu Kaiji of the Criminal Department cleverly set up a poison plan, intending to kill people with a knife, and let Jinyi Wei eradicate the Guozi supervisor in the matter of the alternate criminal department, the Sun Xu who had a cannon temperament. recalled a strange thing I had seen in the history books before, in the late Ming Dynasty, he carried a coffin to accuse the emperor, there was nothing wrong here, where was it wrong, Hai Rui, a famous Qing official in Chinese history, secretly thought to himself in his heart: In fact, the old man Zhu's subordinates who specially picked on the officials of the six departments and the six departments of the official matter, can be regarded as playing a supervisory role in some media public opinion in later generations. After the old man abolished the prime minister, he concentrated the military, political and financial power of the whole country in his hands, and set up the first spy organization in history, Jinyiwei, saying that he was the most centralized and the most powerful emperor in the history of feudal society, and covered the sky with one hand, which is not an exaggeration. Thinking of this, he bowed slightly.

Xu Ying blinked her eyes and said strangely: "This prime minister took the old car when he went out to play, and his guards sat in the car, won't this prime minister feel embarrassed and embarrassed?" ”

Zhu Quan sighed lightly, shook his head slowly, and said: "No, because the ordinary people of this country think that there is nothing shameful for this prime minister to do this, on the contrary, if a high-ranking official has a high car and horses, and there is no distinction between public and private, this should be shameful." Because they all believe that the law is supreme and sacrosanct, and it is precisely because all people think this way that these high-ranking officials can only rely on themselves, treading on thin ice, and dare not take a step beyond the thunder pool. ”

Xu Ying lowered her head and was silent, recalling the scene when she watched the punishment of those Guozi eunuchs, she was still a little unconvinced, Yinya bit her cherry lip lightly, and said softly: "But the words I heard from the common people are all saying that these Guozi eunuchs are too pitiful." ”

Zhu Quan thought for a moment and then suddenly asked, "What would you do if you saw a strong man on the street beating a thin man to the ground?" ”

Xu Ying said without thinking: "Then I will definitely take action to stop him from bullying the weak." ”

Zhu Quan stretched out his hand to gently hug her, and said softly: "Hoe the strong and help the weak, this is the chivalrous spirit that we have paid attention to since ancient times." But at some point, the reckless brain is hot, not only can not save others, he has unintentionally entered the whirlpool, and there is no chance to retreat at all, speaking of which, he immediately told Xu Ying that Sun Xu's group of Guozi eunuchs came to find Yan Wang Zhu Di and his own theory, and when he was wronged for others, if it wasn't for the timely arrival of the prince Zhu Biao, it would have become a matter of Jiang Xian's unjust death.

Xu Ying couldn't help but tap her head and sighed when she heard this.

Zhu Quan said softly: "When you see a weak, you sympathize and want to help, this kind of chivalrous behavior naturally can't be regarded as a mistake, but have you ever thought that this weak man who was beaten up might be a thief and stole other people's things for the owner to hold?" In many cases, the weak are not necessarily right, and the strong are not necessarily wrong. In the hearts of ordinary people, the emperor and Jinyiwei are naturally the strong who are difficult for those scholars to resist, and when the people themselves are not poisoned by corrupt officials and corrupt officials, they will naturally sympathize with the weak and hate the strong. As long as a considerable number of people think like this, it will infect more people, so that they will also follow the crowd, and they will become more and more unclear about the merits. If the emperor does not severely punish the greedy ink, when the officials govern the country, it is difficult to return, and the interests of these ordinary people are also greatly damaged, and when they become weak people who are difficult to resist in front of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, I am afraid that they will turn around and scold the emperor for being mediocre and lazy, ignoring the society and conniving at corrupt officials. He said this, but he secretly thought in his heart: Duke Zhou is afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang is humble and has not usurped the time. What Mr. Jing said is really reasonable, and many people in later generations said that as long as they can boost the economy, corrupt officials can be regarded as good officials. It is estimated that only people who have not been persecuted by corrupt officials can say it, and only care about immediate interests to openly encourage and tolerate officials abusing power for personal gain and undermining the justice of the law, is it really right? I hope that one day, their children and grandchildren will not be poisoned by corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and then they will come and scold the absurdity and naivety of their ancestors.

Thinking of this, Zhu Quan snorted lightly in his nose and said coldly: "Today's court meeting, under my suggestion, the emperor has already issued an order to send Sun Xu and other 1,000 national eunuchs to the capitals, counties, and townships of the northern provinces to serve as scholars, teachers, and instructors. It is estimated that at this time, many of the scholars who were assigned to the frontier in the Guozi Prison were already scolding me, King Ning, for being narrow-minded, taking the opportunity to take revenge and treating the scholars harshly. Speaking of which, I can't help but be a little funny.

Xu Ying glared at him hatefully, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Since you understand this truth, you can still laugh." ”

"Being strict with others and lenient with oneself is a hypocrite. After reading a belly of so-called sage books, if you can't see it, it is your duty to go to the northern provinces to teach and educate people and promote culture. It plays a vital role in consolidating the territory of our Ming Dynasty, that is, it is a waste, and staying in the DPRK is just an ornament. I don't bother to pay attention to what those nerds think, how they think, and I want to get things done and not offend anyone, which can only be said to be very naΓ―ve. Regardless of success or failure, people who do things are better than those who only talk and comment on others. Thinking that when I went to Yanwang's Mansion to convey the emperor's message to Zhu Di a few days ago, I heard what he said, and couldn't help but sigh and said: "I want to fight with the old man, I want to fight with the genius Zhu Laosi, if I also want to be a soft-hearted and indiscriminate person, then wait to be rectified." Besides, the more the literati between the government and the opposition hate me, the more the old man will show his appreciation to me, and if everyone praises me, it will win the hearts of the people. Will the old man trust me with the army in the future? ”
