"Your Majesty!"

Zhang Siwei had to stand up at this time and said: "What Xu Jie said is completely biting and slandering the minister!" ”

"Your Majesty, please see clearly, the minister has not advocated this, nor has he said that things are returned to the six departments and words are returned to science!"

The ministers present and the Qingliu of the Hanlin State Prison couldn't help but look sideways at Zhang Siwei.

Among them, many people still support the model of "returning things to the six ministries and returning to the science and the truth" and realizing the mode of discussing politics through public opinion.

After all, this kind of proposition does sound very good, so that everyone can not worry about being oppressed by a powerful minister, but can be more relaxed and free, and can also make their own voice heard, and represent a kind of public opinion, as if they can also participate in the government politics.

But now Zhang Siwei denied it because Xu Jie said this.

They were not only disappointed that Zhang Siwei denied supporting "the matter belongs to the six ministries and the words are the truth", but also disappointed that Zhang Siwei flatly denied it because he was afraid that the emperor would blame him.

Xu Jie sneered at this time: "Otherwise, what is the proposition of the second assistant?" ”

Zhang Siwei did not answer.

"Tell him."

Zhu Yijun commanded at this time.

Zhang Siwei had to say: "Naturally, it is based on Yuanfu's proposition. ”

Xu Jie laughed again: "But the Taishi didn't put forward any propositions in the suicide note, only mentioned that people should have opinions, and they can't follow the crowd." Is the public not looking at it seriously? ”

Zhang Siwei: "......"

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Xu Jie's words are very biased, and he is willing to follow the public opinion and make the matter belong to the six departments, and those who are quiet and inactive may not be good ministers;"

"Xu Jie's own virtue is just that he has no virtue, and he ends up like this! It cannot be said that the ministers who are quiet and inactive and follow public opinion are all sanctimonious people. ”

Shao Zhan Shi Zhao Zhigao retorted at this time.

Xu Jie laughed: "To the position of the auxiliary minister, can you really be virtuous and do nothing, and you really believe it?" ”

"Could it be that the relatives, friends, and even domestic slaves of the public did not take advantage of the public to seek profit and wealth, but took the initiative to repentance for the public's name?"

"If the public wants relatives, friends, and even domestic slaves to really be able to control themselves, clear their own names and not seek profit and wealth, I am afraid that the public has the courage to dare to offend relatives, friends, and even domestic slaves, right?"

"But if that's the case, who else is willing to spread the name of the public, but I'm afraid that it is the lightest, and it is also said that the public is open-minded and unkind, mean and unkind, right?"

Zhao Zhigao blushed and said: "If the family style is upright, the clansmen are naturally upright!" If you are only friends with gentlemen, your subordinates will naturally be gentlemen! Why should you blame yourself for neglecting to discipline your family and restraining yourself, and blame everyone in the world for this! ”

"In fact, most of my Qingliu are upright people, who value both family style and friendship, and will not be willing to fall!"

Xu Jie looked at Zhu Yijun: "Your Majesty, the sinner can't refute this public statement, and the sinner can't prove whether he is lying in front of the emperor or really a frog at the bottom of the well; ”

"But the sinner told Your Majesty a fact, Your Majesty can go through the annals of the dynasties before the Emperor and the Ming Dynasty and the notes of Wenchen."

"Most of the civil servants recorded in it are praised for being honest and upright, strict in family style, and strict in their own discipline, and there are only one or two traitorous ministers;"

"But if there are only one or two traitors, how can they lose the country?"

"Could it be that all the ministers in the world are afraid of traitors and dare not speak up and dare not fight, are they all cowards, but if they are all cowards, how can they restrain the clansmen and friends, how can they be regarded as honest and honest ministers?"

"Therefore, if Your Majesty believes him, he thinks that he is a true saint who can reach the position of an auxiliary minister and advocate quiet inaction, and future generations are afraid that they will only blame Your Majesty for the loss of the country!"

"After all, future generations can't see anything wrong with the auxiliary ministers at that time in the annals of history."

"But if Your Majesty uses someone who dares to act as an auxiliary minister, even if the country dies in the end, future generations will know that this country cannot be blamed only on Your Majesty, and even Your Majesty will not be blamed, but only on the improper governance of this auxiliary minister."

……

"Your Majesty!"

"A man is about to die, but his words are good."

"The sinners know that their sins are so great that they can no longer live in the world, let alone that their sins are so obvious that they can no longer be concealed."

"Therefore, it is impossible for the sinner to lie at this time, after all, the minister still relies on this to get His Majesty to issue an order to exempt the minister from torture."

"In the eyes of the criminals, the bureaucrats in this world are either traitorous or loyal, and there are few flawless people."

"Because, if you want to be a traitor, you have to cover yourself, and if you want to be a loyal minister, you have to be unkind to practice the way of a saint, the former naturally looks loyal, and the latter naturally looks mean."

"The sinner is undoubtedly the former, so the sinner will cover it up again, in fact, he did do something sorry for the common people of the society, and the crime is much more serious than that of the Taishi."

"Taishi is undoubtedly the latter, although he has done many impersonal things, what he has done is for the benefit of the country."

"And the opinion in the Taishi's suicide note at this time is undoubtedly right, Your Majesty's governance is not as important as virtue, it is better to emphasize merit, after all, it is difficult to distinguish between truly virtuous people, and it is better to look at his ideas, to see what merit he wants to make, and maybe he will be a great loyal minister."

Xu Jie has indeed never been so honest, nor has he spoken so freely, and he has become more and more energetic for a while, and he has said a lot.

"It's you Xu Huating who understands Mr. better."

Zhu Yijun said.

Zhao Zhigao also died down at this time, staring at Xu Jie with only two eyes.

At this time, Shen Shixing stood up and said: "In the humble opinion of the minister, for the minister, whether he is loyal or traitorous, often cannot help himself, although Xu Jie is a traitor, but there are times when he is loyal, such as ensuring the smooth accession of the first emperor." ”

Therefore, in the eyes of the minister, it is better to listen to his will and watch his deeds, as the Taishi said in the number, whether it is employing people or governing things, they should seek truth from facts, use it when they feel their loyalty, and depose them when they feel that they are treacherous! Use practice to verify one person, one thing. ”

Xu Jie said at this time: "Your Majesty, Shen Ge Lao obviously understands it very well. ”

Zhu Yijun looked at the others: "Do you still have ideas?" ”

For a while, the ministers and scholars present were silent.

Because most of them do not advocate governing the country by morality, but instead govern the country by merit.

But now, because the emperor advocated so, and Xu Jie used himself as a negative teaching material, he said it in an orderly manner, and he also made Zhang Siwei and Zhao Zhigao speechless, so they didn't dare to go up and speak again, and maybe it made the emperor really think that he was a traitor.

And those who support the rule of merit have nothing to say, and they bow their heads in place.

Because Xu Jie said everything they wanted to say.

Shen Shixing added, but because of their temporary qualifications, it was difficult to think of it for a while.

Zhu Yijun simply looked at Shen Li directly at this time: "Shen Li, you can talk about it." ”

Shen Li bowed his hand and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister is stupid, and now he knows the depth of Taishi's knowledge, and he really doesn't know what to say for a while, so he only has the heart to continue to study Taishi's knowledge seriously." ”

Zhu Yijun took advantage of this and said: "You reminded me. ”

Then, Zhu Yijun stood up because he had been sitting for a long time, put his hands in his sleeves, and looked at Zhu Geng, the minister of the Chengzhi:

"Proposed will, add Zhang Juzheng Research Hall in Hanlin Academy!"

"It should be the same as the history museum, send a special Hanlin official to be in charge of the museum, and Shen Li, Shen Aiqing and Sun Jigao, Sun Aiqing will preside over the museum, and the first thing to do is to sort out the collection of Mr. Wen, compile it into a book, and at the same time organize the Hanlin official to expound his ideas and put forward his own opinions.

Zhu Geng, Shen Li, and Sun Jigao all said yes at this time.

The ministers and scholars present were shocked.

You must know that there are so many chiefs and assistants in this dynasty, and there is no one who can be specially studied by the government to set up a museum for their knowledge.

But these people also know that the emperor wants to support Zhang Juzheng's concept of governing the country into the core governing concept, and he wants the new policy to continue.

Zhu Yijun then said: "In addition, the edict will set up the Ming Ruling School, starting from next year, the newly recorded Jinshi will need to enter the ruling school for study before the museum is selected; ”

"At the same time, those who are selected to be the best in the examination of the chief officials of the six departments such as the county magistrates of the world will be admitted to the school to learn the concept of Mr. and be used as important ministers of the country in the future."

"The school is served by Shen Aiqing as a sacrificial wine."

Shen Shixing couldn't help but perk up after hearing this, and said yes.

At this time, Zhang Siwei saw this and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please let Yuanfu enjoy the Taimiao, so that the kings of future generations will also know his contribution to governing the country!" ”
