"Presumptuous!"

Shoufu Shen Shixing, who was also standing in the Yuntai Gate, suddenly changed color at this time, and shouted Zou Yuanbiao.

Zhu Yijun waved his hand: "It's okay!" ”

Then, Zhu Yijun looked at Zou Yuanbiao and asked with a smile: "Then you tell me, what is wrong with me?" ”

Zou Yuanbiao raised his head and glanced at Zhu Yijun slightly, and lowered his head again in a hurry: "The criminal seems to have said the wrong thing!" Your Majesty is not wrong! Your Majesty is a saint like no other in ancient and modern times! ”

"Say!"

"Say everything in your heart, if you don't say it, you will be escorted back to the West Market Archway!"

After Zhu Yijun replied in a deep voice, he threatened Zou Yuanbiao.

Because of Zhu Yijun's roar, Zou Yuanbiao trembled for a while, trembled and replied "yes", and then said:

"The guilty minister feels that His Majesty's fault lies in being too harsh on the gentry, not knowing the etiquette of the monk, and not knowing the difference between the noble and the low;"

"Corrupt officials and corrupt officials, it is reasonable for Your Majesty to kill them, after all, since you eat the king, you should be like this;"

"But the gentry is the head of the four peoples, and they are the honorable, and they have the ability to calm the people and collect taxes; Even if there is something wrong with them, Your Majesty should not punish them severely, but should protect their dignity, otherwise how can they rely on them to settle the people and collect taxes? ”

"Once Your Majesty despises them, the common people will also despise them, in this way, the common people will become a bad people, and the anti-tax offenders, I am afraid that the slaves and servants will also ignore the rules and regulations, and follow them, from then on, the etiquette will collapse, and the world will be bad!"

"According to you, if a noble man like the gentry commits a sin, he should cover it up?"

Zhu Yijun asked after hearing this.

Zou Yuanbiao said: "The minister ......"

"Answer truthfully! I have spoken, and you must speak all the words of your heart. ”

"Since you want to be a bold minister, the first thing to do is to be sincere, no matter what you say, whether it will be against Long Yan, first of all, you must be true!"

"Don't sting the scorpion here, and think about how to talk so that you don't get torn apart by the car, so that I can be satisfied, this is not what a minister should be!"

"Since I believe that I am not a faint king, then I should have the true appearance of a minister, not just a gambler, who wants to gamble on his reputation!"

"If the Haiqing family had hesitated like you back then, I was afraid that the temple would have cut him down earlier, instead of leaving it to the first emperor and me!"

Being a good teacher is a common disease of people, and Zhu Yijun is no exception, and he actually educated Zou Yuanbiao at this time.

"Yes!"

"Your Majesty said yes!"

"The honorable person, his moral mistakes, if he can indeed cover up, he should cover up, and if he can cover up his faults, he should cover up his faults, and when he repairs history, he treats the venerable and sages of the ancient times like this, and when he asks about his crimes, he should do the same to the venerable sages of the present world."

"This is a courtesy!"

Zou Yuanbiao thought about it, and answered Zhu Yijun's question seriously, and talked eloquently, as if he was also self-combing and self-brainwashing.

Zhu Yijun continued to ask, "In that case, am I Venerable?" ”

"Your Majesty is the lord of the world, and naturally he is the most honorable and noble."

Zou Yuanbiao replied.

Zhu Yijun asked again: "Is that what I am virtuous?" ”

"Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has made great efforts to govern the country, and he has been diligent in the previous dynasty in the past dynasty, and the intensity of tax exemption and disaster relief is also worse than that of the previous dynasty, and the hardship of the small people of the Great Su has increased by more than 30 million taels of silver, and the tax field has increased by hundreds of millions of mu.

Zou Yuanbiao replied truthfully.

"Not flattery?"

Zhu Yijun asked.

"Not flattery! Otherwise, how dare the minister go up? ”

Zou Yuanbiao replied.

Zhu Yijun said: "In this way, I can also do a few things that are contrary to the moral norm, without being held accountable, and even cover up when I can." ”

Zou Yuan raised his head aggressively.

"You say yes and no?"

Zhu Yijun continued to ask Zou Yuanbiao.

Zou Yuanbiao stammered again: "Minister, minister......"

"Answer me!"

Zhu Yijun said in a deep voice.

Zou Yuanbiao had to say loudly: "Back to Your Majesty, yes!" It stands to reason that there are indeed all monarchs in the world, thunder, rain and dew, all of whom are gentlemen. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty!"

"The minister should not blame the monarch's father, it is a sin to accuse the monarch's father!"

After Zou Yuanbiao said, he immediately bowed to the ground.

Zhu Yijun asked: "Is this the truth?" ”

"Honestly."

Zou Yuanbiao replied.

Zhu Yijun said: "Then what do I do with the counselor?" ”

Zhu Yijun shouted loudly as he spoke: "If you are a loser, the official should be admonished!" You, Zou Yuanbiao, as a bureaucracy, have this authority to admonish, so you are not guilty! ”

"Your Majesty!"

Zou Yuanbiao suddenly shouted excitedly, then kowtowed to the ground and cried:

"The minister is guilty!"

"The sin of the minister is deceiving the king!"

"Your Majesty is everything, so the bureaucrats and gentry used by Your Majesty are all right, and they should all be treated with courtesy, and before the minister, he only thought about treating the gentry with courtesy, and forgot to treat the monarch with courtesy, so the minister should die!"

"In addition, Kedao is not a counselor, if you don't need a counselor today! The official is only an official who investigates and supervises for His Majesty, and besides, there should be no official in this world who reconfronts the monarch's father, and it is unruly to set up this official in itself! ”

"Therefore, even Wei Zheng is not a virtuous minister in his eyes now!"

Zhu Yijun: "......"

Courtesy?

He now smelled a stale smell.

"Your Majesty, please punish your ministers with capital crimes!"

"It's okay if the car cracks!"

Zou Yuanbiao suddenly stopped being greedy at this time, and gritted his teeth and took the initiative to ask for it.

Shen Shixing on the side closed his eyes and sighed when he saw this.

Hai Rui's face sank.

Zhu Yijun looked at Zou Yuanbiao for a long time before he said solemnly: "If the gentry commit a crime, I will punish it according to the law; If I fail, the officials should also dare to admonish; Instead of maintaining the old order, the king's mistakes cannot be spoken, the sins of the scholars cannot be punished, and the people's grievances cannot be tolerated, otherwise, the whole world will be in unison, and the country and the nation will not last long? ”

"For example, today, the gentry and common people often change in a few generations, and there are few thousand-year-old families, so Your Majesty can rule alone, so that the world will follow Your Majesty's will."

"Therefore, if Your Majesty wants to strictly manage the gentry, you can do it, even if there is resistance, it is nothing more than the example in Jiangnan, divide and rule or push grace to control it."

"But!"

"Your Majesty has thought about it? Even if this is successful, in the end, it will still be because some powerful and powerful gentry will incite the common people to rebel, and many ordinary people will be implicated in this and be executed as anti-thieves. ”

"Therefore, the guilty minister asks His Majesty to follow the general trend and govern the country with propriety, not by the rule of law; Please believe that all scholars and doctors are gentlemen, and that no matter what you do, you will be a holy king! ”

"In this way, the common people will not be a troubled people, because there are gentry who control His Majesty, and only know how to pay taxes and cultivate! The gentry will also regard the king as their father and the country as their home! ”

"And for this reason, Your Majesty should be a minister, but you should forgive the gentry who are arrested!"

Zou Yuanbiao spoke eloquently, with a solemn expression, obviously believing that his viewpoint was correct, that it was conducive to the society, and that it was conducive to the long-term interests of the entire landlord class.

Pan Cheng and Liu Yingjie couldn't help but bow their heads at this time.

Even the eunuch Zhang Hong began to feel that it was right and looked at Zou Yuanbiao.

"You agree with that, too?"

Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Hong and asked angrily.

Zhang Hong hurriedly knelt down: "The old slave doesn't dare to hide it from the emperor, Zou Yuanbiao is right!" At least the old slave felt as if he himself deserved to die. ”
