Whenever Jin Yiwei began to strengthen his presence, the literati would probably not use any good words to talk about it.

The loud and noisy sound could be heard by the Emperor Shu.

The two cabinet members in Nanjing did not have time to give the emperor a draft, so most of these recitals were simply sent to Jin Gui and Yang Shen, who showed them to the emperor.

Zhu Houzhao was angry, and he simply wanted to make a big fuss.

"Call Jin Gui."

You Zhi immediately fled.

After a while, Jin Gui came to see the driver, "Weichen sees the emperor." ”

"Up." Zhu Houzhao was struggling to write something with his head down, "There is a person named Fan Zhihe named Fan Zhihe, who gave me a lesson and taught me to learn the "Analects" again, saying that if the lady is not kind, the people will have no virtue; If the people have no virtue, they will be chaotic. I also replied to him, do you think this works? ”

You Ji took the emperor's instructions with both hands.

Jin Gui fixed his eyes and saw that Zhu Pi was also "Analects": Since ancient times, there has been death, and the people have no faith and cannot stand.

The sacred scriptures must be understood only by those who are familiar with them. The meaning of these ten words alone is that since ancient times, people have always died, and if the common people do not trust the rulers, then the state cannot exist.

In fact, some preambles do not match the afterword.

But this sentence is also intercepted, it is completely Zigong asked how to govern the country, and Confucius said three points: sufficient food, sufficient armaments, and the common people trust the ruler.

Zigong asked, what if one had to be removed? Confucius said to remove armaments. Zigong asked again, what about removing one more item? Confucius said to remove grain.

That is to say, the trust of the people in the country is the most important.

Anyway, there is no one who does not die, but trust cannot be lost.

Of course, Jin Gui is familiar with the Confucian classics, and he understands it at a glance, "Your Majesty is saying that the people have already reported these wicked people, and if the court does not act, it will be dishonest to the people." ”

Zhu Houzhao is not the original Zhu Houzhao, he didn't learn in his previous life, he has to communicate with these literati in this life, he can only study.

Otherwise, if someone gives him this kind of preface and afterword, it will not be a shame to scold him, but it will be a good word.

"Give him back this Zhu batch. Didn't he say to be benevolent? You go in person, bring this guy to the scene of the trial, let him see how the common people testify against those thieves, how the two parties should be lenient and generous, and let him understand the echo! ”

"Yes, Wechen obeys."

Not only that, Zhu Houzhao said when Jin Gui was about to turn around, "Wait, you have to take care of him and tell him to write well." I can make this echo note public. ”

Imperial historians tend to 'value' their reputations.

Zhu Houzhao doesn't beat these people's boards, doesn't cut these people's official positions, or ignores him and suffocates these trolls, this is relatively light, and the other is to catch their pain points, do you want to make a name for yourself? How can it be so easy, if it is not good, it will make you ugly!

This kind of thing depends on how he quibbles.

If he still insists on his opinion, Zhu Houzhao will use the real suffering of the common people to expose this guy's fame.

If he changes his mind again, he will also laugh at him: Zhao Kuo and others.

It means that it is just talking on paper, and it does not understand what national politics is at all.

All in all, Zhu Houzhao has also had experience in fighting with this gang over the years, that is, don't be limited to verbal fighting, this is what they are good at.

Instead, we should leave words and speak with facts and practice.

One of the more exciting things happened in the seventh year of Zhengde.

At that time, everything was normal in the country, and the Son of Heaven and the ministers were in harmony.

As a result, there was a sudden official who said that the emperor let the Western teaching and teaching the royal heirs violated the ancestral system, and it was not in line with the etiquette, and then said that the last great influence, and also said that the Ming Dynasty was prosperous, not only there are many scholars in the court, but there are also many sages in the countryside, why bother to ask for help from a few Yi people?

There will be more or less a purpose behind this kind of suggestion: that is, I feel that the opportunity to get close to the emperor's eldest son is taken by others.

Moreover, if you make a loud name for the world's readers, you can also earn some fame.

As a result, I didn't expect the emperor's instructions to be called a must.

The emperor said that this letter is very good, since you said that there are many rural relics, then you will be limited to three months to find five. Of course, the requirements are the same, if a Western teacher can teach foreign languages, then he must also be able to do it, as well as arithmetic, navigation, and have enough knowledge.

Now this guy is dumbfounded, where can I find this?

There was no way, he could only go up and say that he believed that Daming had such talents, but he didn't know them.

What is it called? Isn't this nonsense to the emperor? So Zhu Houzhao humiliated him and demoted him to Jiupin County.

People are afraid of being too sincere.

Now Jin Gui has brought this sincerity to Fan Zhihe, and the oracle is naturally going to be spoken, and there are two guards who came with him.

Fan Zhihe was immediately dumbfounded, he just heard about it, what is this for?

"Let's go, I heard that the old man has already started the trial."

The scene of the trial of the case does not have the warm and leisurely scene of the scholar's red sleeves and fragrance, and the people who dare to sign and draw a charge also sue these people who have some forces and bullies basically have a deep hatred.

Before Jin Gui approached with someone, he heard someone shouting heartbreakingly, "...... You give back my son's life! ”

Fan Zhihe should have heard it too, and he began to swallow his saliva.

Jin Gui reminded him without emotion, "Fan Yushi, it's nothing just to watch and listen, the emperor's dictation is to ask you to understand the echo, explain and explain what you said in the recital, what does the lady mean by the lack of virtue of the people, and how to be benevolent?" Which side is it for? These are all things to be made clear. ”

"Squire Jin." Fan Zhi and his upper and lower teeth were fighting, and he said with a mildew face: "Please also ask Attendant Jin for advice, Your Majesty...... What does your majesty mean by this? Why do you have to go down to watch such a scene? ”

"Your Majesty's meaning is to ask Fan Yushi to explain what benevolence is."

Fan Zhihe's scalp was numb, "Ren is benevolence!" The benevolent government is carried out and the people are not able to make a living, and the country is in danger because of the levy of profits from the upper and lower levels. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. It's all benevolent! ”

"Your Majesty knows what you are talking about. Your Majesty wants you to explain what it means to be benevolent here. ”

Fan Zhihe is really going crazy. What to explain? Confucius, Mencius, and Xunzi have all explained that benevolence is the most basic concept, what does this want to explain?! This is obviously making things difficult for him!

Jin Gui saw that he didn't ask again, so he didn't say anything more.

He asked the others to wait outside for a while, and then he went in to communicate with Wang Bing, after which Fan Zhihe was taken to the scene of the trial.

……

The emperor's behavior in this way really shocked many officials in Nanjing.

Xie Ti and the others are all discussing, the emperor did not violate the practice of not killing officials, but he did not kill people, but he was punished.

The streets outside were taken away one by one, and the imperial historians didn't seem to have a good effect, there was no way, they could only knock on the palace door and ask to see the emperor.
