Chapter 599: Attribute All Faults to the Old Rite! Protect the whole country!
"Accurate!"
Zhu Yijun heard that Qi Jiguang was seriously ill, so he stood up suddenly, and felt uneasy in his heart, and asked, "How is the condition?" ”
"It is reported that it is not very good, and I can't get out of bed, and the cause is caused by the rush after watching "The Biography of Jiguo".
Li Wen replied.
After hearing this, Zhu Yijun raised his eyebrows on the spot: "Why did he see this book?" ”
"This slave doesn't know."
Li Wen replied.
Zhu Yijun shouted: "Go check!" Anyone who has recently been to the Privy Council's Mansion is arrested! ”
"Yes!"
After Zhu Yijun said this, he looked at Shen Shixing and the others with a gloomy face:
"People who want to be slave owners only want the gentry to be exempted, not all the people are exempt from servitude, so they have spotted a group of old ministers who have reformed the humerus for the pillars, and they have done some immoral and illegal things when the emperor and the first emperor were there."
"But at that time, it was because the old rites were out of date and the world was degenerate, so I had to do some unsightly things in the initial stage of the restructuring in order to exercise power, which was inevitable and caused by the times!"
"As a result, these people who only want to enslave their own compatriots, don't want to suffer any grievances, and don't have the patience to wait for the development of the slave trade outside, they don't hesitate to make a big fuss about these old ministers' bad deeds in the past!"
"Your Majesty said yes."
"It stands to reason that Your Majesty has decreed that those who have not been involved in anything other than conspiring against the enemy ten years ago in Wanli will not be investigated, but there are treacherous people, although they dare not directly impeach some old ministers in the court with these things in the past, but they still secretly let the literati use these old ministers to arrange these old ministers."
"These people don't seem to want the people of the world to forget the mistakes made by the ancient ministers in the past, and this is also because they are really disgusted by the behavior of the imperial court now blindly respecting people who have made great contributions to their own country, rather than the great Confucianism who is virtuous and eloquent."
Shen Shixing said at this time.
Zhu Yijun shook his head: "I naturally know!" ”
"It's just that maybe Qi Qing still thinks that after his past crimes are revealed, he will still make me feel disappointed in him, he is the same as Mr. in the past, although he did some unrighteous things at that time, but in essence, they all care about their image as a courtier in my heart!"
"Therefore, in front of me, they will never confess that they are not so perfect."
"But how could I be so unkind? And just want them to be perfect? ”
"In fact, I can accept that their courtiers are flawed, and their flaws do not affect my respect for them, but they are unwilling to accept that they are not perfect people."
"What Your Majesty said is that this must be the cause of the cardinal."
Wang Xijue echoed.
Zhu Yijun said with a calm face: "So maliciously writing this kind of book that only focuses on its bad deeds and mistakes is really hateful, and it should be burned all!" ”
"On the battlefield, the Japanese and the Tartars failed to make Qi Qing fall, but fell because a few sentences of the literati seemed to be just expounding some bad deeds and mistakes, and the pen of the real literati is the knife that kills people!"
Zhu Yijun said and then instructed: "I will give an edict to the Hanlin Academy, and draw up an edict in my name, which will be issued in the major official newspapers, and the content of the edict should clearly state that the bad deeds and mistakes of the ministers ten years ago in Wanli should be combined with the reality of the old era when the old rites were implemented to understand the mistakes of the monarchs and ministers at that time!" ”
"Whether it is the monarch or the minister at that time, as long as it is not a major crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country and plotting rebellion, the rest of the things can be attributed to the old rites, and this cannot be concluded that this person is at fault!"
"Therefore, in order to avoid confusion, those who have made great contributions to their own country and their own clan are required not only not to be held accountable for the faults of non-rebellion and collaborators with the enemy ten years ago, but also not to comment and record, so as to protect their posthumous names, which is the benevolence of the new rite!"
"And those who violate this edict will be sentenced to death on the grounds of harboring evil intentions and wanting to disrupt the national system!"
"In addition, the people are encouraged to expose and expose those who have made meritorious contributions, and they can be rewarded openly and secretly according to the actual situation."
"Awarded accordingly, it is not considered to be punished for not teaching!"
After Zhu Yijun said, Shen Shixing said yes, and said: "Your Majesty Shengming, in this way, it can comfort the hearts of the old ministers in the world!" ”
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"This edict can also be regarded as to avoid the confusion of people in the world because the court kills people for private compilation of books and why the meritorious people cannot investigate their past mistakes, and also allows them to understand the meritorious people, and let them know that the meritorious people in the country and the clan are still worthy of their respect, and the so-called mistakes in the ten years ago in Wanli do not affect their loyalty and integrity, and they do not ask and cannot comment on the mistakes of the meritorious people in the country and the nation ten years ago, which is the best courtesy for the meritorious people of the country and the nation."
"This is the benevolence of the new gift! It is a benevolent way that combines reality! ”
Wang Xijue elaborated.
Zhu Yijun bowed his head, and then said to Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue:
"One of you is the champion, the other is the role model, when the time comes, you should also polish this edict more, try to be concise and easy to understand, and you can use this to open up the wisdom of the people, it is the people who know how to understand how to analyze the policies of the imperial court, and how to view the relationship between the current situation and individuals, and not only know the evaluation of the individual, do not know the evaluation of the current situation in which the individual is located, and do not know that it is wrong to criticize the etiquette at that time!"
Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue said yes.
Zhu Yijun then said: "In addition, once this edict is prepared, I will show it to Qi Qing first!" ”
"Yes!"
……
Sickness comes like a mountain.
In the eighteenth year of Wanli, Qi Jiguang, who was over the age of six, suddenly seemed to be ten years old, and he couldn't breathe when he spoke.
The literati's pen was like a knife, as if many deep wrinkles had been carved on Qi Jiguang's forehead at once, and then he frowned slightly, and the whole person's skin collapsed greatly.
However, Qi Jiguang was in a much better mood when he saw that the reason why the emperor's new issue of a new one that had made great contributions to the country and the nation was not at fault ten years ago was because the times were prevalent in the old rites, and after blaming all this on the old rites, he sighed and said:
"In the end, it's my emperor Shengming!"
"Like a bowl of good medicine, let me feel bored, this is also the embodiment of Your Majesty's benevolence and virtue, for my Qi Jiguang, these people who have personal virtues, can be described as painstakingly doing benevolent deeds!"
"However, if the new rite had been implemented earlier, it would have been better to be a perfect minister of His Majesty."
Qi Jiguang coughed violently when he said this.
Wang Shi hurriedly patted him on the back and said: "You are really annoying, you have to be foolproof to fight on the spot, and even Your Majesty has said it, because the old rites made people like you can't do it perfectly in the past, but you still have to feel sorry for yourself and vomit yourself, what good is it for you." ”
"Madame, rest your anger!"
Qi Jiguang said with a smile.
