As the cumulus clouds dispersed, the winter sun became more brilliant and bright, reflecting the increasing spirit of the monarchs and ministers in the door.

At this time, Zhu Yijun on the golden throne also stood up after Hai Rui finished speaking, and looked at Zou Yuanbiao: "You, a jinshi, in the end, are not as knowledgeable as a lifter." As soon as Zhu Yijun's words came out, except for Hai Rui's face, the rest of the ministers lowered their heads in addition to bowing their heads.

And Zou Yuanbiao also had to reply: "The criminal minister is not as knowledgeable as Mr. Gangfeng, and Mr. Gangfeng is a true gentleman!" ”

"Don't call yourself a sinner!"

"Whether you are guilty or not, I have the final say." Zhu Yijun suddenly said at this time. Zou Yuanbiao suddenly cried bitterly.

Zhu Yijun knew that he cried bitterly because of the conflict between his desire to be respected by the Son of Heaven and the etiquette that he insisted on observing because he wanted to be a master.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun asked Zou Yuanbiao at this time: "Zou Yuanbiao, do you think you are a loyal minister?" ”

"The ministers are inconsistent, they are villains and hypocrites." Zou Yuanbiao choked back.

"I'm asking you to answer if you're a loyal servant!" Zhu Yijun said in a deep voice. Zou Yuanbiao thought about it and said, "Yes or no!" ”

"How?"

"The essence of the minister is loyalty, loyalty must be loyal to the king, the minister is loyal, and the minister is naturally loyal to the minister! But the minister didn't seem to be loyal, and he scolded the monarch's father, which was obviously a betrayal of the courtesy, so it wasn't. ”

"The minister should not be a gentleman in the name of Bozhi, this is not the behavior that a courtier should have, and it is not the way of a courtier who should be in theory!" Zou Yuanbiao said and smashed his fist on the ground.

"I see you as a loyal servant." Zhu Yijun said suddenly. Zou Yuan raised his head reluctantly. Zhu Yijun said again: "Your conscience is urging you to be a loyal minister, and you are prompting you to be loyal to the country and my society, rather than blindly being loyal to me myself!" It can be said that there is a style left by the ancient ministers to take the world as their own responsibility! ”

"There is nothing wrong with admonishing me, and even reminding me not to rejoice in my achievements is not wrong, even the performance of a loyal minister; But your fault lies in not separating between public and private, and ignoring yin and yang! ”

"Although there is an admonition that I should not be happy and disregard the hearts of the people of the society, but because the criminal gentry have not been forgiven, and it is also mixed with the selfishness of Bo Zhiming, so that you yourself don't know whether you are a human or a ghost." Zhu Yijun said with emotion when he said this: "So the old rites hurt people, let people be slaves of some people, and let people be slave owners of others. ”

"Do you know why?" Zhu Yijun asked the people present. Shen Shixing arched his hand at this time and said, "The ministers respectfully listen to the hadith. ”

"The reason is that this old ritual began in the Spring and Autumn Period, what was it like then? It is an era when scholars and kings are of the same clan, and the people are slaves; It is also the era when Zhou Tianzi ruled by the arch and the people of the world were from different countries; Can it be the same as now, now the scholar and the emperor are of the same family, and the scholar and the scholar are not from the same country? ”

"Therefore, in today's world, it is often bad for the world to abide by the Zhou etiquette; It is necessary to learn from others, integrate today's gifts, and establish a new system; ”

"In the great rule of the past dynasties, they did not strictly observe the Zhou rites, but followed the Zhou rites, according to the Legalists, and sometimes even sandwiched the Taoist self-cultivation and self-cultivation; On the surface, even if he respects Confucianism, he also explicitly speaks of Confucius and Mencius, advocates morality with the theory of sexual goodness, and secretly worships Xunzi, and suppresses the annexation of the world with the theory of sexual evil. If you don't do this, the people's livelihood will wither, and the country will be ruined. ”

"Study the ancients, seek truth from facts, this dynasty can not keep the old rites, nor can there be no etiquette, can not worship a saint, need to worship many saints, the king of this world, Chen Shang into the Confucian Temple, why should Xunzi in ancient times withdraw, Xunzi will be invited back to Confucius and Mencius! Ming edict the world, governing the country only from reality, governing the country should coexist, not because of the past to abolish the present, not because of the present to abolish the ancient. When Zhu Yijun said this, he gave the will he had already decided.

Shen Shixing said yes. Then, Zhu Yijun looked at Zou Yuanbiao: "So, Zou Yuanbiao, what you are doing now is a loyal minister, and you can be regarded as a loyal minister; ”

"However, you are a villain, full of benevolence and morality, and full of fame and fortune; And to be a loyal minister or a villain, sometimes you can't help yourself, and there are many people like you who are not human ghosts and ghosts, and there are many people like you, who are called loyal and loyal to the courtesy, but they have become villains who are different from the outside, and you can't kill them all, only by abolishing the old rites and establishing new rites from the root, and transforming you for this purpose. ”

"Morally, there are people in the world who have needles, not to mention that you yourself have already morally sent yourself to the eighteenth layer of hell, and I don't bother to talk about you anymore;"

"As for the crime, you are indeed right, you have done the work of loyal ministers, since it is the matter of loyal ministers, I will answer you seriously, your so-called great joy of my great achievements, there is indeed such a thing, but I am not good now, I can't do it now, this dynasty is getting more and more people, plus there are too many people who are plotting against my China, I can't help but expand externally, I can't be a good rejoicer, the sky is the thickest in my China, and the most virtuous culture, if I don't educate the world by the heavens, I will be blamed for it!"

"Zhenning's own people died on the aggressive battlefield, and I don't want them to freeze to death and starve to death in Zhumenqi."

"As for you saying that I make the princess like a house slave, there is no such thing at all! Obviously, you are referring to Sang scolding Huai, scolding the ministers for not being consistent with you, and kidnapping them morally! ”

"In fact, it can be said that the courtesy received by the ministers of mine has far exceeded that of the previous dynasty, otherwise, they would have been invited to go, otherwise who would want to be scolded by the emperor while you are scolded, and stay in the position of having the name of the minister and not the truth of the minister like a dog?"

"When you get to this position in the future, you will know, and you will feel more dear than they are!" After Zhu Yijun said this, Zou Yuanbiao's eyes lit up.

Shen Shixing, Fang Fengshi, Hai Rui and the others turned red. The eunuch Zhang Hong knelt on the ground and choked up: "The slave doesn't know what to do, and I don't know the blessing in the blessing, but I was moved by the inconsistent words of Zou Zhi's advice, and I despised myself, forgetting that as a minister, I can't only know that I should be loyal to the emperor and the emperor's country, and as a Han person, I should also be careful of the country!" ”

"And the slave and maid are not good at words and do not know how to change, but now they can be the palm print, and they do not feel the slightest grievance, because the emperor has always known that he is benevolent for the country, and the slave and maid want to support the emperor to abandon benevolence, which is really ignorant and harmful!"

"After all, the so-called etiquette should start from respect and end with benevolence, ministers can't just think about respect, but also think about benevolence, and can't forget the importance of benevolence because they are in the world of benevolence!" The eunuchs of the celebrant are basically from the inner study hall and have been educated by Hanlin Confucianism, so a great eunuch like Zhang Hong can also talk about the Tao.

"That's not a good word." Zhu Yijun shook his head and said a word because of this, then looked at Zou Yuanbiao and said: "So I have to learn from Tang Taizong, not to offend you because of your loyal ministers, and to promote you to be an official to commend you, but also to transform you and train you." ”

"Message!"

Although Zou Yuanbiao's performance is quite broad and untrue, he is bold to speak, for his future can really see the disadvantages of the times and correct the gains and losses, because of his loyalty to the main and guest director of the Ministry of Rites, as a Burmese Confucian envoy, immediately went south to cross the sea to Burma to persuade the local barbarians to worship the king and stop fighting and go to barbarism! Or it can top 100,000 troops, so that the cause of this dynasty to educate the Burmese barbarians will be won without a fight! After Zhu Yijun said, Zou Yuanbiao was dumbfounded.
