He Xinyin gritted his teeth, and finally chose to admit it frankly, and replied: "Yes!" The emperor was right. The minister did have the intention of borrowing the emperor to remove him from Zhang Jiangling. With him Zhang Jiangling here, my Taoism will definitely be difficult to prosper. ”

"It can be seen that you people, although some people have the heart of friends, but they only have private plans, and there is no justice in the world."

"If I am really used by you to be suspicious of Mr., and kill Mr., I don't know how serious the consequences will be worse than your lack of Taoism!"

"At least, the current new policy is going to be very bad, and there may even be no more ministers who dare to profit from the society in the future!"

"But on the contrary, the Taoism that wants to flourish by unscrupulous means is still unrealistic, outdated, and imperfect, like immature learning in the air!"

"If you really want to prosper, the consequences are unimaginable, at least it will intensify the struggle for party power! It even becomes a riot of the majority! ”

Zhu Yijun said to He Xinyin and said in a deep voice: "He Xinyin, do you know that you almost became a sinner through the ages because of your selfish schemes!" ”

"It may even make tens of millions of Han people die in the future because of your private plan today!"

"That's what the emperor said!"

"There is indeed a big problem with the Taoism that Xiaomin adheres to, and what the emperor says today is the real Taoism!"

"Xiaomin retracts the arrogant and unwise words just now, the emperor does not learn from my Taoism, and he is not a son of heaven."

"On the contrary, if the emperor obeys, he is the son of heaven without virtue."

"The emperor is right, Xiaomin is wrong!"

"The emperor is actually a virtuous son of heaven comparable to Yao Shun."

"The emperor killed his ministers today, and he is a virtuous son of heaven comparable to Yao Shun; If you don't kill your ministers, you are also a virtuous son of heaven who can compare to Yao Shun! ”

He Xinyin kept kowtowing to Zhu Yijun as he spoke.

"Why do you say that?"

Zhu Yijun asked.

He Xinyin said: "Because the emperor is not like him Yan Shannong, he is called a great Confucian who preaches Taoism, but he is really a bully and a single husband!" Otherwise, it will not require a person to damage his personality before he can become his disciple; ”

"And the emperor is not like him Zhang Jiangling, named Liangfu Xianchen, he is really a cool official! Otherwise, he will be invited by Zhang Jiangling to punish the small people for not teaching! ”

"Only the emperor did not have the heart to despise the personality of the small people because they were guilty of crimes."

"Originally, the emperor killed the small people like killing an ant, and even when most people in the world wanted the small people to be killed, but the emperor did not punish the small people at will, and also taught the small people earnestly, unlike him Zhang Juzheng but asked the emperor to punish without teaching and act as a tyrant, so the emperor can really be said to be a virtuous son of heaven compared to Yao Shun!"

He Xinyin said and bowed again: "It is a blessing for the dynasty to have a holy son like the emperor!" ”

Then, He Xinyin glanced at Zhang Juzheng again: "In addition, it is a blessing that the emperor was not taught to be a virtuous son of heaven because he Zhang Jiangling was the emperor's teacher!" ”

"Your Majesty, if it weren't for his insidious words and rebellion, how could the minister ask His Majesty to punish him?!"

Zhang Juzheng hurriedly argued, and stared at He Xinyin with his eyes blazing.

Zhu Yijun sneered at this time: "Okay, you have a good heart, although you have changed your words to praise me, but you deny my husband." ”

Then, Zhu Yijun looked at He Xinyin: "Do you know how much turmoil your Taoist knowledge you used to propagate in the past caused and how much impact it had on the New Deal?" ”

"Not to mention the rebellions against taxes and against Qingzhang acres carried out by your fellow people in other places, don't you yourself also encourage the wealthy people to resist taxes in Huguang?"

"Why do you have the hidden meaning to say that the implementation of the new policy of enriching the country and strengthening the army in the imperial court is quite blocked, do you think that the rich people should not be forcibly requisitioned by the government? But the government does not impose levies, are they willing to take the initiative to pay the levies? You say that you are a person who can only do bad things and have no use, how can you not be killed, sir, in order to make the implementation of the new policy successful, and to keep the world from chaos? ”

"That's what the emperor said."

"He didn't do anything wrong to kill Xiaomin in Zhang Jiangling, even if the emperor killed Xiaomin, it was not wrong."

"But he Zhang Jiangling is not as smart as the emperor, not as wise and virtuous as the emperor, the emperor can say that people have the desire to seek personal dignity and also the desire to seek nobility, to serve the ministers, but he Zhang Jiangling can't say it, he only knows that except for the lives of the small people, it can be seen that Zhang Jiangling is not as far as the emperor!"

He Xinyin replied.

Then, He Xinyin said: "Although the emperor wants to kill Xiaomin today, it will not damage the emperor's virtue, after all, it is impossible for the emperor not to take care of the opinions of Zhang Jiangling and other rulers, and it is impossible to ignore the overall situation of the implementation of the new policy, but Xiaomin still begs the emperor to spare Xiaomin's life, so that Xiaomin can correct Taoism, can start a new career, and then have the qualification to become the emperor's disciple!" ”

He Xinyin had already cut off the desire to continue his career, and only wanted to devote himself to studying Taoism.

But now that the emperor is right, he can't help but want to do business again.

"I wanted to kill you."

"But your words touched me."

"I have to give you a chance to revise your so-called Taoism, lest such remarks continue to harm people's hearts and harm the world."

"What's more, I recognize the reality that the monarch is the co-lord of the world, and I am the world, so I am the only one who changes the law, that is, I have the constitution of heaven in my mouth! Therefore, I can spare you with peace of mind. ”

Zhu Yijun said: "But you have to confess your comrades, let them also be arrested and sent to Jinyi Prison, and you will personally correct the heresies and fallacies they have suffered, so that they can go to the right path!" ”

"In addition, you have to write a letter of repentance and tell the world through the Di Bao."

"And if you can correct a few of your comrades to the right path, so that I don't have to kill people, I can also commute your sentence as a meritorious service."

"Xiaomin obeys the will and is willing to offer my fellow disciples!"

He Xinyin was overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed back.

Zhu Yijun laughed: "You don't hesitate to betray your friends. ”

"No, as the emperor said, this is not a betrayal, this is to let them go the right way!"

He Xinyin replied.

"Yes."

Zhu Yijun nodded and said: "In this case, the governor of Huguang convicted you of the crime of "evil words", plus your crime of defection, and punished you for several crimes, I decided to sentence you to ten years in prison, go to prison in brocade clothes, and write a letter of repentance to the world, and also confess to the same party to correct their thinking. ”

As Zhu Yijun spoke, he instructed Zhang Juzheng: "Sir, the cabinet will follow this decree, send it to the governor of Huguang to know, and let him close the case!" ”

Zhang Juzheng said yes.

"Xiaomin thanks the emperor for his kindness!"

He Xinyin hurriedly thanked him.

Zhu Yijun said: "Since you have admitted that people have the heart to seek nobility, then I ask you, can you admit that people's desire for nobility should not be extinguished?" ”

After hearing this, He Xinyin replied: "Xiaomin admits that unless he is willing, others cannot take away his will!" ”

"That's good!"

"Before you go to Jinyi Prison, I gave you a debut question, you think about it carefully, write an article on this, and discuss it with your comrades who will also be sent to Jinyi Prison in the future, in the prison prison, warm in winter and cool in summer, you can still see the real humanity, it is a good place to do learning."

Zhu Yijun said.

"Please ask the emperor to give instructions."

He Xinyin replied.

Zhu Yijun said: "The question is: Since everyone has the heart to seek nobility and should not be destroyed, is Hu Yi more valuable than the Han people?" Or, are the Han people more valuable than the Hu people? ”

He Xinyin was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said that he had the order.

"Are the Hu people more valuable than the Han people?"

Shen Li, the living note, muttered from the side.

Zhang Juzheng also fell into a state of contemplation.

"Master, does Your Majesty intend to emphasize the difference between Huayi in the future?"

Before and after leaving the palace, Shen Li asked Zhang Juzheng because of this.

Zhang Juzheng said with a smile: "Huimin, Huimin, how can the Han people benefit, and Hu Yi also benefit?" ”

"Even if you want to benefit all, you must divide the high and low, otherwise you will be rich and poor?"

"Isn't it worth knowing my Chinese etiquette, respecting my Chinese etiquette, and practicing my Chinese etiquette? can be favored by the imperial court. ”

Zhang Juzheng said and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is to prepare for the next war against the Japanese." Fang Fengshi is just preparing for the government, His Majesty is to prepare for the hearts of the people, and he is really for the government! ”

The "China" here refers to the Han civilization, and the ancients often used it to refer to the Han civilization in the text, so Zhang Juzheng also said so at this time.

As he spoke, Zhang Juzheng sighed: "I can really beg." ”
