Zhang Jingxiu looked at Zhao Nanxing: "The edict is the place where the offender can confess his heart to His Majesty. ”

"That's right, you Zhao Mengbai is really bossy, and you still want to make a statement in His Majesty's territory."

Luo Rufang said.

Tang Xianzu, who was also here, also said: "Yes, Gong should still be locked up here for a while." ”

"It's best to be like us, to spin yarn and plough the field, to know what the truth is that 'what you get on paper is shallow, but you only know that you have to do it', and you also know that some truths have to be more discerning to become clearer."

"In governing the country outside, it is necessary to unify the truth, but here, when everyone is still a criminal, it is natural that they should speak freely and carefully reflect on their own sins."

"Since the prince is here, he should reflect on his own sins, don't be like in the court, only know how to count the sins of others."

Zhao Nanxing sneered: "What is my sin? An, Yue and other dukes were poisoned, it was not my doing, even if it was tortured by Jinyiwei, I said the same! ”

"But they were poisoned, and it has something to do with you, and it's also caused by your portal's private opinion!"

Suddenly, Jiao Hong, who was also in the edict prison, also said a word.

Zhao Nanxing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly asked Zhang Jingxiu with a red face: "Is this edict really a place for scholars and doctors to interrogate doctors, are you Jinyiwei so lazy, don't you torture me according to his intentions in Shenwu County?!" ”

Zhang Jingxiu only sat on the side and drank tea, noncommittal.

"Listening to what you mean, I hope that Jinyiwei will torture the scholars, if the public really wants to, he should go to this book and publish this statement in the "Di Bao", so that the world will know."

Luo Rufang said at this time.

Zhao Nanxing was speechless, and after a while: "When have I offended you, I am so embarrassed." ”

"It's not to embarrass you, it's to help you discover your own mistakes."

"That's how we all came, and then we even liked it because of it, and when we were confused and couldn't realize the Tao, we would come here again and be scolded by everyone, and then it would be clear."

Tang Xianzu replied at this time.

Zhao Nanxing sneered: "What can I do wrong, and say that An, Yue and other fathers died because of me." ”

"As I just said, your private opinion is very heavy, so heavy that you don't distinguish between right and wrong, and don't take the monarch and the people in your eyes!"

Luo Rufang said.

Zhao Nanxing asked unconvinced: "How do you say this?" ”

"You have a good relationship with An, Yue and other princes, and you can be described as a party."

"But you never admit that there are people in your party who are immoral and hypocritical, and you just want to forcibly let the world admit that your party is a moral gentleman and should be respected by the people of the world."

"Therefore, when Wu Yuexiu did not find out that he harbored rebels and embezzled rebel property, you did not admit it realistically, Wu Yuexiu is very likely to have really done such a thing, otherwise no one would have dared to impeach him as soon as he successfully quelled the rebellion, because you did not seek truth from facts, and you did not prevent An, Yue and other public officials from forcibly defending Wu Yuexiu, and then making them suspicious of Wu Yuexiu's comrades."

"Beyond that!"

"When Your Majesty issued an edict to send An, Yue and other princes to prison to find out whether they were also against the party, An, Yue and other princes and your other comrades would naturally feel panicked, and worried that Your Majesty would make a big deal and disregard people's lives in order to vent their anger, and the public, as a person who was with them every day, did not seek truth from facts, proceeded from reality, and made them believe that His Majesty would not kill others at will, which led to the fact that among the public party, there were people who were afraid of being implicated and decisively poisoned An, Yue and other people."

"It is precisely because of your heavy view of the dream of the white door that you have never thought that there are ruthless and despicable people in your own party, nor have you ever thought that Your Majesty and the ministers of the court are actually not so insidious and despicable, so they did not prevent this from happening, which led to the poisoning of An, Yue and other dukes!"

"So, how did you not do anything wrong? Why didn't An, Yue and the other princes die because of you? ”

"If you really think of yourself as a gentleman, you should admit it generously, don't talk nonsense, just like you insisted before that the biggest suspect in killing An, Yue and other princes is Shenwu County, you can lie to us, but don't lie to yourself!"

"If you really deceive yourself like this, you will only make it more difficult for your party to succeed, and even despise the wise!"

Luo Rufang raised the teapot to quench her thirst.

Zhao Nanxing was silent for a long time, and then sighed: "Okay, I admit that it has something to do with me, but I don't know why I'm like this, and I ask this friend to give advice." ”

"You are deceived by your own hometown, which is a common problem of our scholars, who keep saying that they are for the country and the people, but they habitually only treat their own relatives and friends as people, and forget to seek truth from facts."

"I also came in to know this truth, since everyone in the world is regarded as a child, then you can't just see the gains and losses of your own township party, you have to seek truth from facts."

"You must not be seeking truth from facts, because the court did not show favor to the party in your township, so you think that Your Majesty is stupid and cunning in power, and you have to think that your party can control the government and the government, so that the people can be prosperous and the world is clear."

"But if you think about it realistically, is Your Majesty stupid and unkind?"

"Not to mention the eternal exemption of Yunnan tribute, and the recent permanent exemption of Ding Yin in Shaanxi and Shanxi, isn't this a great good government that is unprecedented in ancient times?"

"You can't not recognize Your Majesty's love for the people because it is not your hometown who favors you, and Yuanfu has meritorious service in power."

"Even in Guixiang Henan, in recent years, more projects have been built, and more people are allowed to go out of the province to open mines, not to get rid of thieves, but it has not directly benefited the gentry like Gong, but we can't turn a blind eye because of this!"

"Also, such as the cases of Li Sancai and Li Zhi, Your Majesty has not made a big deal out of it, can't it be proved that Your Majesty is not a dumb and violent king?"

"Can't the public use this as an example to persuade his fellow party members not to be overly worried and do despicable things?"

"Since the public values the portal, it should learn to protect the private morality of the portal, and as a result, it condones the portal and the party to mess around, and still reverses right and wrong! In this way, not to mention the hypocrisy of the public himself, even the hypocrisy of the entire portal cannot be done because of the public. ”

Luo Rufang said: "Maybe what the prince has always wanted is to put the monarch's father under his own portal, and let his own portal dominate the government, and he must demote the monarch who does not listen to his own portal to a faint monarch, and reduce Yuanfu to a traitorous minister, so as to get his wish!" Therefore, he deliberately did not proceed from reality to admit that His Majesty is indeed worthy of praise, and Yuanfu also has something worthy of affirmation, and deceived himself and the people of the world. ”

"But the party of self-interest for a township will not go far after all, if it is a party of public interest in the world, it will be more long-term, and it will be more conducive to making the monarch's father give more benefits to the world, even if it can't benefit the hometown now, it will benefit in the future!"

"Does the public think that after changing one gentleman and one prime minister, his party will be able to override other township parties in the world?"

After Luo Rufang finished speaking, in the edict, the echo continued.

"Ti Shuai!"

"Please let me write a letter of repentance and a new confession!"

"I admit that I said before that An, Yue and other dukes were harmed by the poisonous plan of Shenwu County, and I was talking nonsense and bullying the king, and I am sorry for An, Yue and other dukes!"

Not long after Zhao Nanxing listened, he also made a request to Zhang Jingxiu.
