"I'll give you serious consideration."

Zhu Yijun replied, and then asked the eunuch Huang Xun to take back Xu Honggang's recital.

Xu Honggang, who was sweating on his forehead, pursed his lips, and then replied, "Yes!" ”

Saint-Wehwech.

Although Xu Honggang was ready to say that he would die, he was still worried that the emperor would directly order him to be cut down if he was not happy.

And now, Zhu Yijun didn't order to cut him, and he is naturally still happy.

This is also the current status quo, the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, and if he says to the emperor that the emperor doesn't like to hear, he has to be prepared to lose his head.

But Zhu Yijun did not kill Xu Honggang.

This is mainly because what Xu Honggang did say.

In addition, Xu Honggang's newly supplemented seven-grade gift did not pose any threat to him, even if some words would cause him emotional fluctuations, but as an emperor who had been on the throne for twenty years, he was already past the age of killing people because of his emotions.

What's more, the requirement of Xinli to attach importance to the friendship of compatriots is placed here.

Zhu Yijun set new rules for the world's powerful and gentry, prohibiting them from harming the people at will, and treating the people as human beings, while also setting rules for himself invisibly.

It is said that the upward and downward effects.

Zhu Yijun knew that the basis of his power was to treat the middle and lower level government schools as people, and once these people were treated as people, they could not get rid of their lives like killing chickens and slaughtering geese.

Even if these people are regarded as people, they will be like a person with a normal personality and will say something unpleasant to the emperor for the country and society, and the emperor must be able to tolerate it.

does not take other people's lives lightly, in fact, it is not difficult for Zhu Yijun.

Because he came from later generations, he had actually long been accustomed to a more advanced and civilized way of life.

Therefore, he can not kill people, many things can be discussed, and if it is not good, he can accept it, but the other party must give up the idea of enslaving him and imprisoning him.

Fortunately, after Zhu Yijun ordered many people to be executed, many people still learned how to respect the emperor, and also gave up "To the monarch Yu Yaoshun", and began to learn to get along with the emperor in a way that discussed with the emperor to solve problems.

That's right.

Although according to the old rites, the monarch's father was like the sky, but in the old rite era, the ministers were only required to be loyal to the monarch's society, and it was only to maintain the stability that the entire landlord class needed most, and they were not required to care about or respect the feelings of the monarch's father.

Therefore, often a minister really wants to have some ideals, and this ideal also wants the emperor to become the king of Yao Shun, to set standards and spells on the emperor, and will not discuss with the emperor to solve a certain problem.

Only a small number of ministers would consult with the emperor.

But this part of the ministers will be seen as flattery.

For example, in history, Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue discussed with the emperor because of the dispute over the country, and they were scolded to the core.

And most of the courtiers explicitly did not allow the emperor to bargain with them, and it seemed that discussing with the emperor was not the behavior of a loyal minister and a gentleman.

"Get up, I don't really want you to be high, don't really think that I want you all to be good at dancing with long sleeves, and you are not allowed to say something against your ears, I just want you to learn to respect, so there is no need to be afraid."

"You know, although I have done a lot in my life, I am not good at killing, especially my own people!"

Zhu Yijun saw Xu Honggang kneeling in front of him at this time, so he said that he let him get up, and expressed his opinion that he was not good at killing.

Xu Honggang and other officials naturally did not believe it.

But Zhu Yijun didn't care whether they believed it or not, he just got up at this time and said: "I have asked everything you asked, and you have said everything you should say, and go to the expo with me, today the monarch and the people are happy, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and it is time to have a happy reunion." ”

Xu Honggang and other officials all surrendered their hands at this time.

And Zhu Yijun really took them to the Lingxing Gate outside the Yuxi Palace, and then came to the Lingxing Gate, and looked at the rows of brocade clothes and guards, and the people who were walking by the Taiye Pond in an endless stream.

"Your Majesty!"

"That's the emperor!"

"The emperor really appeared!"

The citizens who came to Taiye Pool became even more excited when they saw Zhu Yijun, and they raised their hands to the Lingxing Gate on the west side of the Yuhe Bridge and the north side of the Silkworm Pond.

"Long live the emperor!"

"Your Majesty, your home is so magnificent, it's even better than the painting! Those exhibits are very novel, too! ”

"Your Majesty, aren't you tired of shopping around every day?"

As a result, many people either raised their arms and shouted, or asked Zhu Yijun loudly.

Zhu Yijun didn't hear it very clearly, but only saw that there were more and more people on both sides of the silkworm pond and the Yuhe Bridge in front of him, so that some people were directly squeezed out of the pool, and plopped a few times.

And because now it is the people who fall into the water, not the emperor, so Zhu Yijun and the ministers are no longer nervous after seeing the scene of falling into the water, but they can't help but laugh one by one.

"It is really not easy for the dynasty to have today's scene!"

Shen Shixing, who was standing outside the Lingxing Gate, was about to enter the door with Wang Xijue to face the saint in Yuxi Palace, and at this time, he couldn't help but say this to Wang Xijue.

Wang Xijue nodded and agreed: "Yes, it is because the Son of Heaven has the will to bless the people, so that today's monarch and the people are happy." ”

As soon as Wang Xijue's words fell, the palace door opened at this moment, and Shen Shixing had already walked in.

Wang Xijue also followed.

"Your Majesty!"

And the eunuchs in the palace gate led Shen Shixing and others to the Lingxing Gate, so that they could see Zhu Yijun here.

Zhu Yijun asked after Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue came, "Didn't you meet the Duke of Jiguo?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, no."

Shen Shixing replied.

Zhu Yijun didn't say anything after hearing this, just looked outside.

Suddenly.

Shen Shixing took out a book at this time and said to Zhu Yijun: "Today, all the people are looking at the monarchy together, which is a rare grand occasion for me to see in the Ming Dynasty, and the minister is fortunate to see it, which is the blessing of this life!" It's just that all of this depends on His Majesty's eloquence, and the ministers have added a lot of obstacles to His Majesty's people because of their incompetence, at least Cao Zideng's rebellion, the ministers are responsible, and Dang Xin and others can be governors, which is also related to the ministers! ”

"In any case, as the head of a hundred officials, the minister cannot but be blamed for these two rebellions, so the minister asks His Majesty to resign."

After hearing this, Zhu Yijun turned around and looked at Shen Shixing.

After a while, Zhu Yijun said: "Someone has already impeached you first." ”

"This makes the ministers blame themselves less, which shows that there are still powerful ministers in the court."

Shen Shi Xing returned.

Zhu Yijun glanced at Xu Honggang at this time: "Do you still think that Yuanfu is a person with evil intentions?" ”

"Shame on you!"

"It turns out that Yuanfu has already confessed his guilt and resigned, but he is too self-righteous to live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and he doesn't know that the reason why Yuanfu is Yuanfu is because he has long had insight into everything."

Xu Honggang replied at this time.

Zhu Yijun smiled faintly: "As a speech official, the easiest mistake to make is to rely on the right to speak and do things, and vainly give strict words to others, deduct hats, and fabricate charges!" ”

"As the saying goes, bad words hurt people in June, the more you have the right to say things, the more you don't despise derogatory words, after all, what you say is to be archived, people who understand will think that you are frivolous and profligate, and you are a person who brings disaster to the country, and stupid people will really believe your words, and treat Yuanfu as a traitor, so that he has always carried a bad reputation."

"What Your Majesty said is that the ministers remember the Hadith!"

Xu Honggang said.

Zhu Yijun stretched out his arms and put his back behind him, then continued to look outside and said: "It's good to remember, the more you have a certain power, the more cautious you must be when using this power, don't be eager to burn a fire as soon as you get a certain power, so it is easy to burn yourself; As the Son of Heaven, I have the right to kill others, but how can I easily kill anyone? ”

As soon as Zhu Yijun's words came out, Shen Shixing decisively echoed and said: "Your Majesty has not killed anyone easily, and those who are killed by Your Majesty are all people who should be killed, just as those who are protected by Your Majesty are all people who should be protected." ”

"It's just that you, Master Shen, know about me!"

Zhu Yijun replied with a smile, and then instructed Huang Xun:

"I approved the original book of Yuanfu, and allowed him to gallop back to his hometown, and go down to the forest leisurely, and after ten years of Fubi, it is time to rest."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

Shen Shixing immediately bowed to the ground.

Zhu Yijun helped him: "Master Shen doesn't have to be like this, you have assisted me for ten years, and you have made great contributions!" ”

"If it weren't for the intent of the gentleman, when Mr. is old, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to continue the work of innovation and elimination in the first ten years of the year, but it will only come to an abrupt end, or even go backwards;"

"Fortunately, with the wisdom and loyalty of the people, I was able to continue the reform of the government, and then pacified the Burma expedition to the west of Luzon, and now it is the restoration of the Hetao, and the emperor's industry can be more brilliant!"

"Even for the whole of China, Qing made Wang Zhu coexist with a high theory, and truly opened a precedent for the cultural context of his own clan to bloom! It's also a great achievement! Although the new gift was proposed by Yu Qing, only a person like Qing who is tolerant of all rivers is willing to accept it as a gift for the world. ”

"Your Majesty's praise!"

Shen Shixing was full of tears, his hands arched together with a slight tremble, and replied.

When he was about to leave the court, he could be affirmed by the emperor, which was a very decent way for a minister to leave, and he was respected by the emperor.

As the saying goes, a scholar dies for a confidant, for a person like Shen Shixing, who has no shortage of food and clothing, and there is no shortage of beautiful houses, the most lacking thing is to be respected, especially by those who are above him, or in this hierarchical society, he is affirmed by the superiors.

Therefore, it is impossible for Shen Shixing not to be touched.

Zhu Yijun said: "Although I am alone in this world, but I can let the people who watch the exhibition in the Taiye Pool live and work in peace and contentment, and their lives are thriving. ”

"Therefore, even for the sake of these scholars and people being able to have today's happiness, I can't be stingy with a word or two of praise to you, Master Shen;"

"I let Qing leave today, it's not that Qing is really guilty, it's really as Xu gave advice, I shouldn't just use the old people, and fall into laziness, and avoid the future monarchs and ministers getting along for too long and causing gaps, now is the most suitable time to let Qing leave."

"Wangqing knows."

Zhu Yijun said again, and then looked at Shen Shixing.

Shen Shixing replied: "The minister understands that at this time, the minister only thinks of the immensity of the emperor's grace, and does not have the slightest heart for the position of power. ”

After hearing this, Zhu Yijun said: "Qing's ten years are not inferior to Mr.'s ten years, so I also give Qing a privilege to recommend a person who can be specially simplified to enter the cabinet, and make up for the vacancy of cabinet ministers after the secretary leaves." ”

Shen Shixing was stunned when he heard this, and then understood that this was an opportunity for the emperor to let himself have an opportunity to promote his protégé, show favor to others, and benefit his own Shen family, so he couldn't hide his joy and said:

"Thanks to Your Majesty's trust, the minister is ordered to recommend the cabinet scholar Zhang to join the cabinet, so that the prince has always been calm, or can share His Majesty's worries."
