Chapter 574: The sunset is just right
Li Chenan's words completely subverted Mei Fangxi and Zhong Liyou's cognition.
As a Confucian of Ningguo, Mei Fangxi has certainly read a lot of books and has a very high talent.
But in his bones, he still adheres to the idea of the Three Principles and Five Constants.
Of course, he thinks more, for example, he believes that the people are the foundation of the country, and that the king should treat his people well.
In his cognition, the people are still dependent on the existence of the king, and the people are the servants of the king.
He asked Li Chenan this question, originally to understand what measures Li Chenan would take to treat the people if he ascended the throne as emperor.
He never expected Li Chen'an's words to be so radical...... If Li Chen'an wasn't the regent of Ning Kingdom, he would even think that Li Chen'an's kid was trying to rebel!
Because in Li Chen'an's words, the people have become the masters of the country!
The country is the country of kings!
Min, how can you compare with you?
But after careful consideration, although he could not accept it all, he did not have the words to refute it.
He found it impossible to refute it.
Because of the history of thousands of years, it is because of the corruption and harsh government of the imperial court, which led to the misery of the people, and finally ended up changing the dynasty.
This is how water can overturn a boat.
This is the power of the people!
Since this is the case in the end, if the people of Ning Kingdom are the people who stand up to the sky and the earth from the beginning, the people who dare to resist injustice, the people who supervise the court, and they exercise the power of the masters of the country, will the court be restrained because of this?
When the whole court is under the supervision of the people, it is like exposing all the darkness to the sun.
When power is checked and balanced, there is no absolute right.
The words and deeds of officials are in the eyes of the people, and if the actions of officials are inappropriate, they will be opposed by the people, so that corruption may be reduced to the greatest extent.
But this is easier said than done, but it is as difficult as heaven to do.
Because this completely subverts the sacred science and completely denies the supreme authority of the imperial power.
This is bound to be fully opposed by vested interests.
What stood in front of Li Chenan was not any thorns and bumps, but a huge mountain!
No wonder Hua Manting insisted that Li Chenan must be the emperor!
Who but him can really take his own life?
Who but him could know how to establish such a new order that had never been seen before!
Mei Fangxi didn't ask Li Chenan how to do it again.
Instead, he chatted with Li Chenan about the past.
After drinking a pot of tea, he asked Li Chenan to write a poem on the topic of stepping into spring.
When he saw Li Chen'an put pen to paper without thinking...... Only then did he know that the name of this kid was worthy of his name!
No one in the world is invincible!
Last year, in the Mid-Autumn Festival, he wrote sixteen poems in a row, and there was absolutely no falsehood!
It's just that this kid's words are really ugly.
But I can't stand the subtlety of this poem!
Mei Fangxi was like a treasure, took this piece of paper, and left satisfied.
Zhong Liyou looked at Li Chenan with great concern at this time, and asked in a low voice:
"Are these really what you think?"
Li Chenan nodded, but shook his head again.
"I don't know if I can make ...... happen"
He looked at the red sun in the clear blue sky, pondered for a moment, and said, "Uncle don't worry, what I think about at the moment is still to cure the disease like water." ”
"As for the rest...... It is very difficult to change the minds of one person, let alone the minds of hundreds of people in an entire country. ”
"If a person who has been kneeling for a long time wants him to stand up, he will think that you are hurting him."
"Let's keep everyone fed and clothed first."
"This is what the Ningguo Imperial Court urgently needs to do at the moment, only after they have no worries about food and clothing, they may raise their heads and look farther away."
……
……
In the next two days, Li Chenan really didn't leave Zhongli Yuan again.
Xia Hua was still wearing that white dress in the past two days, still wearing a white scarf, and went to many places in Chongqing Mansion with her second senior brother Lin Zifeng.
did not meet Li Chenan again.
The girl's heart suddenly felt a little lost.
On this day, she went out alone, just at dusk.
She walked and came to the archway of Wenweng Academy.
She remembered the kind old man she had met here the other day.
Last time I drank two glasses of wine from the old man...... So, she went to buy a jar of painting Pingchun, walked into Wenweng Academy again, and came to the courtyard behind the academy.
There was still an old man sitting in the pavilion.
But it's not the one I met last time.
Xia Hua thought for a while, walked into the gazebo with the wine jar, and put the wine on the table.
Mei Fangxi was stunned, and the corners of Xia Hua's mouth curled: "Old man, the old man last time...... Is he available? ”
“…… Who is the girl talking about? ”
"I don't know the name, two days ago the little woman came here unintentionally, and happened to meet the old man, and he invited me to drink two glasses of wine."
Mei Fangxi stroked her long beard, "Oh, he has left Chongqing Mansion." ”
Xia Hua was slightly disappointed, so she heard Mei Fangxi say again: "Since the girl is here, why don't you invite the old man to drink two glasses of wine?" ”
"Good!"
Mei Fangxi brought two wine bowls.
Xia Hua slapped open the mud seal of the wine jar, poured two bowls of wine, and respectfully handed over a bowl, "Please!" ”
"Thank you!"
Just as Xia Hua handed the wine over, she noticed that the old man had two pieces of paper in front of him.
She looked at it, and there was the same poem written on both pieces of paper!
It's just that the handwriting on one piece of paper is very sloppy, and the handwriting on the other paper is extremely beautiful.
When her gaze fell on the paper, it was hard to take her eyes off it.
She simply stood up, came to Mei Fangxi's side, stretched her neck, and read this poem for ten breaths, and then asked in surprise: "Good words!" ”
"What did you do, old man?"
Mei Fangxi shook her head and smiled proudly: "The old man doesn't have such skills. ”
Xia Hua returned to her seat and widened her beautiful eyes: "Is it convenient to tell the little woman who did this?" ”
"Such wonderful words, of course, are the poet immortal of our Ning Kingdom!"
Xia Hua was suddenly startled, sighed for three breaths, and then said three words happily: "Li Chen'an? ”
"Of course, who else but him can write such tender words!"
Xia Hua was full of joy, leaned over, and asked curiously:
“…… When did he write it? ”
"Two days ago...... Isn't this Wenwen Academy going to hold a Spring Festival tomorrow? ”
"The old man thinks that since the regent is in Chongqing Mansion, since he is the poet immortal of our Ning Kingdom, if he can participate in this Spring Festival, he should be able to inspire those students in the academy."
"But three days ago he was attacked at Shuijingtai, and the murderer had not yet been caught, and it was dangerous for the regent to go, so the old man asked him to write this poem."
"Oh......"
Xia Hua picked up the wine bowl and rolled her beautiful eyes, "Old man, the little woman respects you with a bowl!" ”
After drinking a bowl of wine, Xia Hua's face was slightly red, and she couldn't see it covered by the towel.
She didn't stay here for long, she memorized the poem, exchanged a few words with Mei Fangxi and left.
The sunset is just right.
Summer flowers are stepping on the sunset, and the mood is also excellent.
Mei Fangxi turned her head to look at Xia Hua's back when she left, grinned and shook her head.
I don't know whose girl, that heart, I'm afraid it's hanging on Li Chenan's kid again.
He picked up the scribbled piece of paper again, and the more he looked at it, the more happy he became.
On the contrary, I think this word is more flavorful with this word.
After thinking for a while, he took a piece of paper and laid it out, picked up a pen, and wrote down the words that Li Chenan said that day.
After thinking about it, I gave these remarks a name -
"Five Words on the People"!
