"Your Majesty, this is not only arrogant, but also rampant, and a great rebellion! Punished. ”

Zhang Juzheng corrected.

Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Juzheng: "Does Mr. think that killing him can eliminate his deviant words?" I'm afraid that it will also encourage the spread of this kind of rhetoric. ”

As he spoke, Zhu Yijun said, "Let me see him!" Sir, don't worry that I will be affected by his remarks. ”

"After all, what Mr. taught me has always been from the perspective of making the country and the people safe, and he is loyal, so if his remarks are really fallacies, then I will still feel that they are fallacies when I hear them, and I will believe what Mr. teaches and will not be deceived by him."

"Your Majesty said yes."

Zhang Juzheng replied.

He also had to admit that if the Son of Heaven was not allowed to see He Xinyin now, the Son of Heaven, who was obviously curious about everything, would still see He Xinyin or He Xinyin's disciples after he left in the future.

And it is better to let the Son of Heaven see He Xinyin now, so that he can correct and refute He Xinyin in time when he is next to him, so as not to let the Son of Heaven be affected by He Xinyin, and everyone really wants to be equal.

That's right, the last thing that He Xinyin's thought did for scholars at that time was the people-oriented idea that everyone was equal.

Because He Xinyin does not advocate that there should be a distinction between monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, brothers, etc., but believes that monarchs and ministers and fathers and sons should get along like friends, and friends make friends with the same interests, and they can also turn against each other because of different interests.

Therefore, he supported the people to rebel against some unreasonable decrees of the government and the imperial court, and even turned against corrupt officials who did not love the people.

Zhang Juzheng was also afraid that the emperor would really go from being willing to benefit the people, directly to the point of strengthening the people, to the point of being willing to be friends with the people, so he discouraged Zhu Yijun from seeing He Xinyin at the beginning.

But he couldn't resist Zhu Yijun.

So, not long after, He Xinyin learned the emperor's will to see him in the prison.

He Xinyin suddenly straightened his chest and said to a guard who was not yet familiar with him: "The Son of Heaven wants to see me, and my Taoism will be prosperous!" ”

The Taoism that He Xinyin said was the learning of his Taizhou school, because he himself regarded it as the study of the right way, so he called it Taoism.

"If you have any desires, you want me to convey them to the Son of Heaven, and I can entrust them to the Son of Heaven for you, and perhaps the Son of Heaven will issue a decree to fulfill you."

He Xinyin also said to this guard.

Like looking at a madman, he glanced at He Xinyin and did not answer.

When He Xinyin came to Zhu Yijun, he also saw that Zhang Juzheng was also here, so he suddenly bowed his hand to Zhang Juzheng and said, "Please also ask Yuanfu to spare his life!" ”

He Xinyin has seen Zhang Juzheng.

In the Jiajing Dynasty, he participated in the fight against Yan Song in Beijing, and because he had a good relationship with Xu Jie and Geng Orientation, and Xu Jie and Geng Orientation had a good relationship with Zhang Juzheng in the past, he indirectly knew Zhang Juzheng.

It's just that Zhu Yijun didn't expect that He Xinyin would beg Zhang Juzheng for mercy first when he came to the palace.

Zhang Juzheng's face became even more ugly because of this.

He Xinyin then knelt down towards Zhu Yijun and saluted Zhu Yijun.

And after Zhu Yijun shouted to excuse himself, he asked: "He Xinyin, why did you ask Mr. to spare your life?" ”

"Back to the emperor, naturally because Yuanfu had the intention of killing the small people, so he begged for mercy."

He Xinyin replied.

Because He Xinyin has been dismissed by the governor of Huguang, he is also called Emperor Zhu Yijun, and he calls himself a small people.

Zhu Yijun asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, because Yuanfu does not advocate having the same desires with the people, nor does he advocate that people should have desires, and does not approve of everyone being a friend, he will want to get rid of the ministers and hurry up."

He Xinyin replied.

Zhu Yijun nodded after hearing this: "You said that people should have desires, then I ask you, I am a king, can I have desires?" ”

After hearing this, Zhang Juzheng glanced up at Zhu Yijun, and his face became nervous.

He Xinyin said excitedly: "Your Majesty can naturally have desires, if you don't have desires, you can't govern the country, but can only be a mediocre king!" ”

"My desire is to be a comfortable and calm son."

Zhu Yijun said.

"Your Majesty, this is a sincere word, and it is also a desire that does not need to be controlled, and it is the motivation to be a promising son of heaven!"

He Xinyin then replied.

Zhang Juzheng looked at He Xinyin like a knife, and at the same time, he couldn't help but hurriedly correct:

"Your Majesty! Since ancient times, the holy monarch has not governed the country with diligence, and has always cherished the heart of forbearance for the country, and does not easily bring disaster to others and implicate the good. Although it is a human desire, it is a desire that should not exist, and it should not be regarded as the driving force of governance. ”

"He Xinyin's words are obviously fallacies, not only confusing the king, but also harming the country!"

"Your Majesty, this is not a fallacy!"

"Your Majesty wants to be a holy monarch, and it is because you have the original desire to be a comfortable son of heaven that you have the desire to be a holy monarch, otherwise, how can you become a holy son of heaven?"

"Otherwise, it will only become superficial and benevolent, but in fact it will be unvirtuous."

He Xinyin retorted.

Zhu Yijun said: "But now there are people who make me uncomfortable. ”

As he spoke, Zhu Yijun asked, "He Xinyin, do you know who made me uncomfortable?" ”

He Xinyin replied: "Please make it clear to Your Majesty." ”

"It's you!"

"You're making me uncomfortable!"

Zhu Yijun replied.

He Xinyin was taken aback, and then said, "The student is puzzled. ”

"You were stripped of your reputation by the governor of Huguang, and you were arrested and imprisoned for the crime of 'evil words', why did you want to escape the crime and not turn yourself in?"

Zhu Yijun asked.

He Xinyin said: "How can the small people let the evil officials lock up? ”

"But you're doing this to break my royal law! So, you're making me uncomfortable. ”

Zhu Yijun said.

Then, Zhu Yijun said again: "Confucianism uses literature to mess with the law, and chivalry uses martial arts to violate the ban." If all the Confucian scholars in the world are like you, and they can still get away with committing crimes, then how can I be this son of heaven comfortably? ”

"So, Your Majesty wants to correct the small people?"

He Xinyin's face was as pale as earth and asked.

Zhu Yijun said: "If I kill you, I can let the Confucian scholars in the world know that I abide by the law, and I will kill you without hesitation." ”

He Xinyin smiled faintly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing the ministers." ”

"I heard from you, sir, that you think that kings should share their desires with the people, and do not advocate the dignity and humility of the Five Luns, but think that everyone should be friends with each other?"

Zhu Yijun asked.

"Not only that, but everyone can become the leader and leader of the people through hard work."

In other words, everyone can be a teacher and a king. That is, as long as a person feels that the people are doing the right thing, so that the people of the world respect their virtue, this person can be a teacher and a king. ”

After Zhu Yijun asked, He Xinyin bluntly expressed his thoughts of being a hypocrite and a real people.

"He Xinyin!"

Zhang Juzheng was furious, shouted, and said, "Are you asking Your Majesty to punish your nine clans?!" ”

He Xinyin replied directly: "If the Son of Heaven is willing to regard the small people as friends, he will not kill the small people, nor will he punish the nine clans of the small people." ”

"But I don't see you as a friend, and I don't want anyone to be my friend."

"I really don't think that because someone is taller than me, I should give him the position of monarch now."

Zhu Yijun replied at this time.

Zhang Juzheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then Your Majesty is not a virtuous son!"

It's just that He Xinyin replied bluntly.

His words were like a scorching thunderbolt exploding in the hall.

Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but look at He Xinyin again.

"Bold!"

Zhang Hong couldn't help but shout at this time.

Zhu Yijun waved his hand to stop Zhang Hong from speaking, and only said to He Xinyin: "Whether I am virtuous or not, you don't count." ”

Then, Zhu Yijun asked: "I only ask you, since you think that everyone should get along as a teacher and a student, why did you beat Yan Shannong?" Before being dismissed, you enjoyed the privilege of raising people, and then obtained the privilege of not paying taxes and serving like ordinary people, but did not feel that you should bear taxes and conscription with the common people like your friends? ”

"Even the governor of Huguang, a senior member who patrols the place on behalf of the Son of Heaven, wants to exercise his power to arrest you, and you don't wait to suffer like the people, but get away with it, and mess up the royal law that the people abide by?"

"Are you looking at the people of the world as friends? Is it considered to put yourself on an equal footing with the people of the world? “

After Zhu Yijun asked, He Xinyin was silent for a while, and then pursed his lips and said: "Xiaomin's friends can only be like-minded people, not everyone can be friends." ”

"I understand what you mean, that those above you should believe in the same Taoism with you, and be friends with you, and then equal to each other;"

"And he who does not believe in the same doctrine with you is a man without virtue;"

"And under you, just keep the status quo, and the status quo is not as noble as a scholar like you."

"In short, above you, let everyone be a friend; Under you, there is a difference between honor and inferiority. ”

After Zhu Yijun said this, he asked He Xinyin: "But is this so?" ”
