"Emperor Mingjian, my Taoism is not so domineering! In fact, my Taoism only believes that both the king and the teacher should be virtuous. ”

He Xinyin hurriedly explained.

Zhu Yijun continued to ask: "Then according to what you want in this knowledge, who will judge whether this is virtuous or not?" Is it you, the people of the same way, or the people of the world? ”

"Xiaomin, Xiaomin, Xiaomin believe that nature is the people of the world, and it is judged by the hearts of the people of the world."

He Xinyin replied incoherently.

"You just said that if I don't regard you as a friend, I am not a virtuous son, which means that you think I am not virtuous."

Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng as he spoke, and asked, "Sir, am I a son of heaven?" ”

"Your Majesty is a virtuous son of heaven!"

Zhang Juzheng replied.

Zhu Yijun asked again: "But from the heart?" ”

"Naturally, how dare the minister not serve the king with sincerity."

Zhang Juzheng replied.

Zhu Yijun asked Shen Li, the living note, again: "Do I have a virtuous son of heaven?" ”

"Your Majesty is of course, and it is also from the heart."

Shen Lili also replied.

Then, Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Hong again: "Do I have a virtuous son of heaven?" ”

Zhang Hong also replied yes.

Zhu Yijun asked the brocade guard outside the hall again, and the brocade guard also replied yes.

Then, Zhu Yijun looked at He Xinyin: "He Xinyin, look at it, you alone think that I am not a virtuous son; They all think that I am a virtuous son; Whether it is a civil servant, a eunuch, or a martial artist, it is all from the heart. It can be seen that the judgments of the people of the world are inconsistent, don't you say? ”

"That's what the emperor said."

He Xinyin hesitated for a while, but finally had to admit it calmly.

Zhu Yijun then asked He Xinyin: "Now I understand why your Taoism can't flourish, right?" ”

He Xin was stunned.

And after Zhu Yijun asked He Xinyin, he replied for He Xinyin:

"Ordinary people of lower status than you, you don't actively practice your Taoism, but really regard them as friends;"

"And therefore, you did not give up your fame and privileges, and took the initiative to share the suffering with them, and to serve and pay taxes;"

"So that your Taoism has not received the support of a large number of small people!"

"At most, it is only a group of villagers who are dissatisfied with some corrupt officials and bullies and gentry to resist, but these rebellious villagers must not agree with the knowledge of you people, so they do not listen to your arrangement and resist in a way that does not violate the king's law, but will directly turn the rebellion into a riot, which will make more small people who are not dissatisfied with the government or big households uneasy, and do not support you;"

"Then you demanded that the imperial magnates and bureaucrats who were higher than you should regard you as friends and associate with you on an equal footing;"

"Naturally, this also makes the emperor and the powerful bureaucrats unwilling to support you, and even hate you."

"Therefore, the Taoism you insist on is still only the knowledge that a few people insist on!"

"It's still easy for my husband to kill you, and you don't even have to do it yourself, your own officials take the initiative to kill you for him!"

"Even if you want to live, you have to ask Mr. I to spare my life to survive;"

"That's why it's all here;"

"Do you understand?"

After Zhu Yijun said, He Xinyin was silent for a long time.

"I see."

"No wonder it's so difficult to learn Taoism!"

After a while, He Xinyin muttered to himself, and then bowed to Zhu Yijun and said, "Xiaomin, thank you for mentioning the emperor, it's Xiaomin's mistake!" ”

"The small people should not only ask those above themselves to preach Taoism, but they themselves do not practice the concept of Taoism!"

"Thank you to the emperor, for giving the little people the opportunity to strengthen my Taoism, and the emperor can be a teacher for the small people!"

After He Xinyin finished speaking, he kowtowed to Zhu Yijun again.

Zhang Juzheng heard He Xinyin say this, and was busy talking.

"That's wrong again!"

But Zhu Yijun stared at the outside of the hall and spoke first.

Then, Zhu Yijun looked at He Xinyin: "What qualifications do you have to recognize me as a teacher, and do you know who is qualified to be a protégé of the Son of Heaven?" ”

"It has to be two Jinshi!"

"Only those who have been rumored to be called by the Emperor's Hall are worthy of being the protégé of the Son of Heaven!"

"What qualifications do you have?!"

After Zhu Yijun asked He Xinyin like this, he pointed at Shen Li: "Only like him can he be a protégé of the Son of Heaven!" ”

】

Shen Li's chest couldn't help but straighten here, and he looked down on He Xinyin who was kneeling on the ground.

Zhang Juzheng also put his mind at ease.

At the beginning, he listened to Zhu Yijun explain to He Xinyin why only a few people supported his knowledge, and he was worried that Zhu Yijun was deliberately helping He Xinyin promote his knowledge.

Now that Zhu Yijun said this, he didn't have such worries, and glanced at He Xinyin.

"There is no class in teaching, why should the emperor be willing to regard him as his protégé if he is not a jinshi?"

"Why can't Xiaomin be born for the Son of Heaven, this is not the act of a virtuous person!"

He Xinyin argued unconvinced.

Zhu Yijun sneered: "You don't have to define me with virtue or not, I don't recognize your set of Taoism, in my eyes, this person's status is different, people just want to be a master, including you He Xinyin." ”

"Therefore, my protégé can indeed only be a jinshi, and if he is not a jinshi, he can't! At most, there are civil and military divisions! ”

Zhang Juzheng heard Zhu Yijun say this, and was completely relieved, knowing that he, the emperor's student, really did not agree with He Xinyin's thoughts, although he agreed that the people had desires and the kings had desires, but in the end he still did not advocate equality like He Xinyin.

"How can you have a virtue with Yan Shannong?"

He Xin muttered faintly.

"What are you talking about?"

Zhu Yijun was deaf, and he heard He Xinyin's dripping, but it was not clear, so he asked.

He Xinyin didn't dare to hide it: "Back to the emperor, Xiaomin said, you and Yan Shannong have the same virtue, Yan Shannong recruits disciples, and you have to beat the scholar three times to make him his own disciple." ”

"He Xinyin! You're a big rebel! ”

Zhang Juzheng finally couldn't help but scold He Xinyin at this time, and said to Zhu Yijun: "Your Majesty, please punish He Xinyin!" ”

Zhang Juzheng actually never took the initiative to ask Zhu Yijun to kill anyone.

Including the previous Liu Tai, Fu Yingzhen, and the Yanguan who was killed by Fu Que, as well as the officials who were killed for cleaning up the portal, they were essentially instructed by Emperor Zhu Yijun.

Zhang Juzheng just passively cooperated.

It can also be said to take the initiative to take the blame.

And this time, it was the first time that Zhang Juzheng took the initiative to ask the emperor to kill someone.

It can be seen that He Xinyin really angered Zhang Juzheng, so that Zhang Juzheng really couldn't tolerate it anymore.

"Sir, don't be angry."

Zhu Yijun persuaded Zhang Juzheng.

The main reason is that he came from the later generations, and he was not very surprised by people like He Xinyin who didn't take the king too seriously, so he didn't have too many mood swings, so he only sneered, and then continued to say to He Xinyin:

"Your analogy is inappropriate. I set a threshold for those who become protégés of the Son of Heaven because we only accept talents who can study diligently and have moral character and the will to serve the country, rather than compromising their personal dignity and making them abandon their own personal dignity first; ”

"If Yan Shannong wants to be his student, he will first suffer three punches from him, which can be regarded as damaging his personality first, so that he can only be controlled by him, and is willing to control and enslave him;"

"So, you couldn't figure it out at the time, and you also found an opportunity to punch Yan Shannong three times, but the scholars in the world didn't have to figure it out because I did this, and they didn't want to take the imperial examination;"

"That's the difference!"

"Personality is a natural need for everyone to be respected, how can I take it away from it? There is only the reason for oneself to abandon it. ”

"Therefore I do not take the personality of any man. However, people do have differences in status, and they also have the right to pursue their own value over others, and I cannot go against this human sentiment without making people in the world have the desire to seek nobility. ”

"So it will give the excellent a higher status!"

"Your mistake in Taoism is wrong here, only paying attention to making people in the world equal in personality, but ignoring people's right to seek nobility."

"Therefore, after being influenced by your Taoism, although the people admit that they want to resist injustice, they are more willing to trample under the feet of the big families and corrupt officials and gentry who caused injustice in the form of riots, wantonly humiliate them, and seize their private property, sin their innocent family members, and create the fact that they have a position on it."

"It is the same with yourselves, who only pay attention to the need for everyone to be friends, but yet enjoy the privileges of fame with peace of mind, and enjoy the privileges above the common people with peace of mind;"

"Even when you first arrived in the Imperial Palace, you still wanted to use my status higher than my husband, use me to be a king, my husband to be a minister, and use my imperial power to get rid of my husband!"

"That's why, when you saw me, you deliberately begged my husband for mercy first, and deliberately created a phenomenon that people in the world, including you, He Xinyin, and a Confucian student, are also afraid of Mr. I more than I am, and then let me have the heart to kill Mr.!"

Zhu Yijun said and asked He Xinyin: "Tell me, are you thinking about this, not really just thinking that Mr. won't tolerate you?" ”
