Huang Guan glared at Xu Jingchang fiercely, "Don't talk nonsense!" ”

Xu Jingchang rolled his eyes and simply stopped talking.

Huang Guan was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, and after thinking about it, he suddenly slapped his face, which frightened Xu Jingchang. Huang Guan ignored his reproachful gaze, but said to himself: "You're right, I understand, I really understand." We have such a big court, the mighty Ming Dynasty, we need something different, elegant, unusual, something that can go down in history and make people give a thumbs up. ”

"This thing must not be Qinhuai River! Absolutely not! ”

Huang Guan's tone became more and more heavy, categorical, and could not be ignored.

And his eyes became brighter and more resolute, as if he had made a lot of determination.

Xu Jingchang's heart chuckled, and he instinctively worried: "Your old man won't have any earth-shattering moves, right?" Can you tell me first, I'm afraid I can't bear it. ”

Huang Guan looked at Xu Jingchang with a smile, "What you can't bear is a small matter." I just didn't think about it for a while, and I'll talk about it later. ”

After finishing speaking, Huang Guan turned around and left directly.

Looking at the back of his old father-in-law, Xu Jingchang actually panicked.

He felt as if something bad was going to happen.

Huang Guan is a kind of person, if he doesn't make a sound, he has already made a blockbuster.

When he said this, there must have been something extraordinarily astonishing.

If the people of the court are panicked and the officials are angry, then the matter will be troublesome.

There was no way, Xu Jingchang could only find his wife, "I really just plan to get a theater or something like that, I can listen to music and watch plays." You know, I'm not a big guy to pursue, only three things. ”

"Three? What are the three? ”

"First, it's fishing, although it's not convenient for me to go outside now, but I can fish at home, it's still very simple. Second, I want to listen to music, just listen to music, nothing else. Thirdly, I also plan to look at the stars, with the universe in mind, and look up at the sky. I really only have these three requirements and nothing else. ”

Xu Jingchang said: "Madam, it's best to persuade your father-in-law, don't let him make trouble, the Ministry of Rites is the most peaceful of all the yamen, in case the Ministry of Rites is also messed up, it will be troublesome." ”

Huang Yunfang listened carefully, and then said silently: "Does Guogong really plan to listen to the music?" ”

"I can swear to God."

Huang Yunfang smiled, "I believe that my father just wants to listen to music, so there is no need to worry." ”

In an instant, Xu Jingchang was dumbfounded, and he didn't know what to say for a long time.

Huang Yunfang didn't pay attention to him, but lowered her head to sew clothes.

Children grow up fast, and it doesn't take long for the clothes to be small, and it has to be a little harder to be a mother.

"Guogong, I am now only in charge of the family's affairs, and I am concentrating on being your virtuous helper."

Xu Jingchang was helpless, "Madam Xiande, I can't ask for it." ”

can't stop Huang Guan's mouth, Xu Jingchang can only accept his fate, just see what Huang Guan says!

A few days passed, catching up with the Wuying Palace, Zhu Di originally planned to go to the Pantheon in the capital to pay homage to the virtuous ministers of the past dynasties and encourage the courtiers to be loyal to their duties.

Before Zhu Di could speak, Huang Guan stood up

"Your Majesty, after thinking about it, there are some things that have to be said, and I can't help but say them."

Zhu Di smiled, from Xu Jingchang, this is also his relative, "Huang Qing's family, you just have to speak freely." ”

Huang Guan said: "Your Majesty, the minister has been thinking about it for several days, and wants to ask the princes of the dynasty, what do I want to leave behind?" What to remember? ”

Zhu Di said curiously: "What does Huang Qing's family mean?" ”

Huang Guan said: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, dynasties have risen and fallen alternately, there is no thousand-year-old court, and the strong Han and Tang dynasties will inevitably disappear. But all dynasties, how it is, is written in the annals of history and in people's hearts. ”

"For example, a strong man, defeated the Huns, sealed the wolf Juxu, and Le Shi Yanran. Four hundred years in the world, majestic, leaving the name of the Han people. Another example is the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty meteorology, all countries come to the dynasty, it is the pinnacle of China, proud of the four countries. Besides, the Qin Dynasty built the Great Wall and built a straight road, the Sui Dynasty also had the Grand Canal, and the Song Dynasty was rich and prosperous......"

Huang Guan counted all the way, then stared at the courtiers, and sighed: "Now it's time for me to write the history of the Ming Dynasty, what do we want to leave for future generations, and what kind of thoughts do people have when they mention the Ming Dynasty?" Prosperous, or vast territory? I agree with all of that. But in terms of my book of rites, I hope that the Ming Dynasty can be different from others, be able to govern martial arts, crown the universe, and be able to look down on the world in all aspects. ”

When Huang Guan said this, he bowed deeply to Zhu Di, "Your Majesty, the ministers dare to ask for advice, the Great Song Dynasty Bianjing was prosperous, many famous prostitutes, talented and beautiful women, passed down through the ages, is this good or bad?" ”

Zhu Di took a deep breath and looked at the ministers.

"The prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty is really remembered by many people. But the two Song Dynasty are cowardly and incompetent, they are helpless in the face of the barbarian iron horse, the mountains and rivers have fallen, and the rivers have changed hands, they are guilty! ”

Huang Guan said: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, the minister thinks that in the land of the capital, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, in the first good district, there are many people, and they have to sell their lives to please the powerful. It is said to be an elegant thing, a prosperous place. But it is also a cannibalistic and cruel and ruthless. I would like to ask my colleagues, is this the way of forgiveness? ”

The courtiers were stunned for a moment, and at this time Xia Yuanji said: "Huang Shangshu, the official prostitute is in charge of himself, which is really not in line with the way of mercy and forgiveness. ”

Huang Guan said: "Then why has it been inherited from all dynasties and has not been removed?" ”

Xia Yuanji said: "This matter can't be generalized, official prostitutes can increase their income, and there are still some criminal officials and family members who need to be dealt with, so it will be inherited." ”

Huang Guan said proudly: "Then I want to ask Xia Shangshu, you said that in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, there is such a Qinhuai River, there are green buildings on both sides, and there are painting boats on the river, is it suitable or not?" Not only the capital, but also by extension, the entire Ming Dynasty, under the rule of my Holy Son of Heaven, is such a pickled place suitable or not? ”

Xia Yuanji smiled helplessly: "Naturally, it is not suitable, but it is not easy to scrap it easily." ”

Huang Guan smiled and said: "Let's not talk about the Qinhuai River, there are still many temples in the capital now...... Although the previous imperial court had been rectified, many monks and nuns were dismissed, and temples were not allowed to annex land. However, the temples around the country are still full of incense, and the people are in an endless stream. Three aunts and six women, walking among the people, usury, abducting and selling children, and harming innocent ......"

Huang Guan talked eloquently, talking about the widespread existence of bad folk habits, which have lasted for thousands of years and have not changed.

Although it is a natural habit, taking it out and putting it on the table still makes people's faces fever and ashamed.

Zhu Di coughed lightly, "Huang Shangshu, you talk about this, I also know it, do you have any high opinions?" ”

Huang Guan said: "Your Majesty, the minister also knows that there are many things that are deeply rooted and difficult to achieve overnight. But the minister wants to ask His Majesty to show an attitude, right and wrong, black and white, good and evil, this is obvious. It's not hard to judge. The court must have an attitude, the things that should be taken care of must be managed, and when it is time to take action, it must be taken action. At least the evil things that are under our noses cannot be turned a blind eye! ”

Zhu Di was shocked, and when he thought about it carefully, he even had a fever on his face.

"What Huang Qingjia said is very true, there are indeed some things that have been inherited for thousands of years and have not changed, and we have all taken it as the right thing, this is not good, this is absolutely not good!"

Zhu Di looked around at the courtiers and said loudly: "The big guy must come up with a way, and I want to give an explanation to the people of the world." also give an explanation to the history of Qianqiu. I don't dare to say that the maladministration will be completely eradicated, but if we want future generations to mention it, our Ming Dynasty is the cleanest and most innocent court. ”

Zhu Di is categorical, Xu Jingchang listens to it in his ears, and he also knows it.

What the old father-in-law was going to do, he also knew.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Huang Shangshu said is a major matter of education, but it is not limited to education. It is about the name and law of punishment, but it also has the meaning of correcting people's hearts and strengthening righteousness. All in all, there are still many stereotypes in the world. For example, they forced good people to become prostitutes, abducted and trafficked people, drowned female infants, ate out of households, bullied widows, and worshiped Buddha...... All kinds of unbearable things are difficult to generalize. ”

Xu Jingchang raised his head and said with a smile: "If the minister didn't guess wrong, Huang Shangshu meant that these messy things have been punished, and when they see one and deal with the other, they must not turn a blind eye, or even indulge and profit from it." ”

"That's right, Ding Guogong spoke very well. So what do you suggest? ”

Xu Jingchang said: "Your Majesty wants to let the ministers, and the ministers dare to admonish, this matter is not something that can be dealt with by a single ministry, nor can it be solved by a few decrees." Your Majesty needs to show full determination. ”

Zhu Di pondered for a while, and finally nodded, "I understand." ”

At the end of the discussion, Zhu Di left Huang Guan, Xu Jingchang, Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji behind.

Huang Shangshu's advice is deafening, as the Son of Heaven, I naturally have to temper righteousness and make great efforts, and those untimely drawbacks must be swept away. I intend to hand over this matter to Huang Qing's family to be responsible, but in what name should I deal with it, do you have any ideas? ”

Zhu Di set his eyes on Jian Yi, "Jian Shangshu, what position do you think can override Shang Shu?" ”

Now I can't make it right.

"Your Majesty, if you are higher than Shangshu, then you can only be the prime minister, and in the current Ming Dynasty, you are the general political envoy."

Do you want to make Xu Jingchang responsible?

"Your Majesty, the minister has an idea, in fact, it is not only this matter, but also military affairs, official governance, finance and taxation, and criminal names...... This is a major matter of the state. It needs to involve several ministries to work together in order to implement it smoothly. It is better to combine the cabinet and the six ministries in this way. All the scholars who are in charge of a major administrative task are given the rank of scholar, and are appointed as scholars, supervise administrative affairs, and together with the general political envoys, report directly to His Majesty. ”

Zhu Di pondered for a moment and said decisively: "In this case, Huang Guan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, adds the title of prince and teacher, a scholar of Wenhua Palace, and the general consul of education matters." ”

Huang Guan hurriedly saluted and thanked God.

Zhu Di then said: "The official department is still the secretary of the righteousness, plus the title of young master, the scholar of the palace, the general consul and the official style, and the selection and supervision." ”

Jian Yi hurriedly said: "Thank you for your grace." ”

"Household Department Shangshu Xia Yuanji, Jiashao Bao Title, Huagai Temple University Scholar, Commander-in-Chief, Household Registration of Finance and Taxation, Trade and Trade, Treasury Banknotes."

Xia Yuanji was also trembling, kneeling on the ground, "My emperor's holy grace, the minister must do his best!" ”
