Chapter 509: Private Banquet
Night is falling.
In Daxigou Village, next to the grain river, the lanterns were lit up one after another, and from a distance, it looked like a sky full of stars.
At this time, every household in the village wafts out of the enticing fragrance, and it is a lively and joyful scene.
With the settlement of the Gongfang District here, not only Xiaoxigou Village on the other side has benefited from the prosperity of the night market economy, but even Daxigou Village, which is a newly built settlement, has seen more fireworks with the naked eye.
The villagers here are basically craftsmen who have brought their families to settle here, this area was originally a wasteland, and now it is planned by the workshop area, which is not a family area or dormitory, but it is officially registered in the government, and it is barely a concept such as "talent preferential new village".
"Mother, is the chicken soup stewed well? I want to drink! β
In the kitchen, the child sat in front of the stove and lit the fire, watching the firewood in the stove crackling and burning, and the smell of chicken soup made him salivate.
Liu smiled and said, "Wait a while, give it to your father first, and then my mother will bring it to you later." β
"Well, thank you, mother!"
"This kid"
Liu looked at his son distressedly, only feeling that his son had suffered these days.
"Let's give it to the child first."
The child's father, Deng Lao, was chopping wood outside, and when he heard the conversation between his wife and son, he couldn't help but interject.
"Okay!" Liu readily agreed, she had already found out that her son was very greedy, and during this time, even the neighbor's pig next door was drooling, "Wait, I'll give you half a bowl to taste first." β
Liu quickly took out a broken bowl with a gap from the cupboard, filled half a bowl of chicken soup and handed it over.
"Hey, hey! My mother loves me! β
"Poor mouth." Liu scolded, "Hurry up and drink, after drinking, I will give it to Lingsheng, make sure you haven't drunk enough!" β
"Uh-huh! Thank you! β
The child happily held the chicken soup and couldn't wait to take a small sip, his face showing enjoyment.
"It's hot! It's hot! But then he hurriedly put the bowl on the stone table, and kept breathing cold.
"Virtue."
Deng Lao's lameness could not be cured, but compared with the time in the illiteracy class of the Imperial Prison, the spirit of the whole person was completely different, he walked in with firewood, and said while bending down to put down the firewood: "This is the firewood this winter, and our family will also change to coal after burning." β
"Isn't burning coal more expensive than burning firewood? Alas, you say this government, I don't know what you think."
Before Liu's muttering was finished, he saw that his husband's face was a little unhappy, and he quickly stopped talking.
"Woman's view! The national teacher is allowed to burn coal, you know better than the national teacher? Deng Lao Liang reprimanded.
"Yes, yes, I'm not right."
Liu hurriedly smiled, now her husband is in the workshop as a "quality inspector" of Na Laoshizi, who is a technician, and he earns a lot more wages a month than he used to earn by walking the streets and alleys to wait for people's scales, and this "family throne" will naturally come up all of a sudden.
In addition, after moving this bright new house, it is empty, and the living area is larger than before, seeing that the family conditions have improved in all aspects, the Liu family is naturally more considerate and gentle than before. Poor couples mourn everything, if in the past, I was afraid that trivial things could quarrel, but now that they have two surplus in their pockets, they are not so generous.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, unless it was a noble and wealthy family, other classes were basically still popular "two meal system", referring to breakfast and dinner, breakfast is also known as "morning food", morning means the beginning of the day, that is, the first meal of the day, and dinner is called "ι£§", from the composition of the word "ι£§" to know what it means, the meal under the sunset, that is, the last meal of the day.
Seeing that Liu brought the food, for the sake of the dinner, he also looked relaxed and explained to his wife.
"Burning coal is burning coal, it's expensive, I heard that next year's coal mine in Huanghuai will be opened, and the price of coal will be cheap immediately."
After speaking, Deng Lao Liangtong finally brought the bowl to his mouth and took a sip of chicken soup.
Liu asked, "How is it?" β
Deng Lao Liang smacked his mouth and said: "It's better than the restaurant in Yunlianghe Town, and those people in the town sell it too expensive!" β
Liu said with a smile: "Don't worry about the things in the town, the things sold in the town are expensive, a pound of pork costs 70 yuan, eggs cost 8 yuan, and candy cakes are even more expensive." β
The son also came over, although he is an only son, but his personality is just jumping out, and there is nothing bad about it, if he has to say that there is, he is greedy, and he always likes to eat some delicious food.
No, he shouted that he was hungry early this morning, and the family used the meal like this, Deng Lao Liangtong squatted on the stool to eat as always, soaked in chicken soup and rice, and ate deliciously.
"I heard that the national teacher came to inspect the workshop today?"
Hearing Liu's words, he just nodded sullenly.
Liu put down the chopsticks with his right hand, slapped him with his left elbow, and asked quietly, "Then you didn't ask to see him?" How about you have this incense money with the national teacher, people taught you to read and count, and found a livelihood for you people, it is not too much to say that it is Entong reconstruction, you go to reminisce about the past, this evaluation of intermediate technicians, don't you just hold the handle? Otherwise, you are always sullen in the workshop, and whoever takes you seriously, your promotion will be delayed. β
When Deng Lao Liang heard this, he was directly unhappy and put away his chopsticks.
"The national teacher is kind to us, but everyone has helped with this, if you don't know what to do and want more, then what's the matter?"
Liu wanted to say something, but her husband immediately continued: "And the national teacher is in charge of every day, I don't know how many things I have to be busy with in a day, and I take the time to watch all the important military affairs, what am I, how can I delay other people's time for my own selfishness?" β
Liu Shi nodded, and blamed himself: "It's because I've seen too little, and the national teacher is so busy, if it's really because I don't have time to see you, you will lose face in front of everyone, but it will make people feel that this incense is unreliable, you did the right thing." β
Deng Lao was stunned, he didn't think about it so much, he just simply felt that he couldn't be too utilitarian, and he could rely less on others for his own way.
At that moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Fifth Uncle!"
Listening to the shouts of his own children, Deng Lao Liang knew that Xiao Wu used to grind mirrors, and now he is a craftsman in the glass workshop, and he is a senior technician, which is considered to be a very strong professional ability in their illiteracy class. Deng Lao Liangtong and Mu Leng worked as quality inspectors in the fertilizer workshop together, and Zhang Linghe heard that he was transferred to the perfume workshop to be a "salesman".
There are now four workshops in the workshop area, including glass, fertilizer, cement, and perfume, and these people who graduated from the literacy class did not work in the cement workshop, so Jiang Xinghuo did not see them today.
But Jiang Xinghuo has not forgotten these old friends and good students intertwined in the trajectory of his fate.
"Deng Lao Liang, come on!"
Xiao Wu's rare cheerful voice came, and Deng Lao Liang put down the dishes and chopsticks again and greeted him.
When he arrived at the door, he was stunned, his lips trembled violently, and a familiar name blurted out.
"Sir!"
The person who came was none other than Jiang Xinghuo, who was carrying a bag of oranges, and he was followed by a few attachΓ©s.
Citrus is one of the easiest fruits for the people of Jiangnan to obtain in winter, and it is also a standing fruit for Zheng He's ocean-going fleet to supplement vitamins to prevent sepsis, although it is doubtful whether the latter has sufficient scientific basis, Jiang Xinghuo still insisted on preparing several cabins for Zheng He before he left.
Jiang Xinghuo handed the orange to Deng Lao Liang's hand, patted the back of his rough black and yellow hand with his palm, and explained easily.
"I came here today to accept, and I saw that it was getting dark, so I didn't go back, just last time I took my children here to visit the night market in Xiaoxigou, and I heard that your new home is here, let's come and see, how about adding a pair of dishes and chopsticks?"
Deng Lao Liang was so excited that his hands holding the grapefruit peel trembled.
"Want, get."
He stuttered for a long time before he could barely squeeze out a few words, tears faintly flashing in the corners of his eyes.
"Quick, get the bowl and chopsticks."
The Deng family's meal was very lively, when Jiang Xinghuo came from the night market in Xiaoxigou Village, he also asked people to buy some food, and the kiln burners and wooden flutes were honest people, and they didn't say much, but it could be seen that they were also very excited.
Because Jiang Xinghuo personally visited the door, which alarmed the village chief and Li Zheng of the new village, and a few squires came to stay with him, Jiang Xinghuo couldn't refuse them to accompany him, and he also had the idea of taking care of these old people, so he left them all behind and had a meal at Deng's house.
Deng Lao Liangtong finally told Jiang Xinghuo about his recent work with the help of wine, saying that he had become a qualified quality inspector.
Jiang Xinghuo's gaze wandered around his house, because his position was facing the door, and his gaze naturally fell on the clothes, shoes and socks drying on the edge of the courtyard wall, and he couldn't help but stop his gaze, and he was stunned for a moment.
This is the clothes and shoes of Deng Lao's family, most of them are half-old and not new, the bottom of an old cotton jacket has been worn to tatters, patches and patches, and the other two pairs of eye-catching cloth shoes are also covered with dust, not a precious thing, but it can also be seen that they know how to cherish it, and they are reluctant to throw it away.
"Are there any difficulties in work and life?"
Xiao Wu hurriedly said: "Mr. taught us at the beginning, each of us is a big sun, and we can shine by ourselves, and now we have something to do and money to earn, and everything is going well." β
"What about you?" Jiang Xinghuo looked at the remaining three men.
"I'm about the same as Brother Deng." Mu Leng said hesitantly, "There is food and drink, there is a house and a house, but there is a lack of a daughter-in-law and a hot kang head." β
This answer was obviously not unexpected, Jiang Xinghuo bowed his head, and looked at Deng Lao Liang again.
Deng Lao Liang smiled and waved his hand: "It's all good." β
While speaking, Liu had already cleaned up the table, and the family warmly invited Jiang Xinghuo to sit on the chair.
The old man of the kiln poured Jiang Xinghuo a cup of hot tea and said.
"Mr. is usually in Beijing, it is inconvenient to come once in a while, and when the spring flowers bloom, if you are free, you can come again, we will definitely entertain you."
Jiang Xinghuo shook his head with a smile, and nodded again: "You guys living a good life is the best hospitality for me." β
"By the way, do you still have a half-grown child at home, send it to study?"
The kiln burner scratched his head, smiled embarrassedly, and only said: "It's not that piece of material, I won't read it for a few days, and now I can subsidize my family if I go to the mine in Tangshan." β
"It's tiring in the mines."
"It's all manual work, and it's hard to earn hard money."
When Jiang Xinghuo heard this, he didn't say anything, but asked again whether the wages were paid on time in the mining area, and whether the supervisors had beaten or scolded or physically punished the coal miners.
After learning that everything was normal, Jiang Xinghuo nodded.
Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, not that he thinks others should do what he thinks, and sometimes he has to respect everyone's own fate.
Liu Shi brought up a plate of radish strips and handed it to Jiang Xinghuo: "This is the radish strips I pickled last year, you can taste them." β
Jiang Xinghuo took it and took a bite, the entrance was sweet and sour, it was a perfect match for wine, and it was a little bit more interesting to accompany tea.
"Good craftsmanship."
"You bring a bag?"
"That's a good feeling." Jiang Xinghuo smiled, "Then it's troublesome." β
Deng Lao Liang smiled innocently and rubbed his hands.
"That's right."
Jiang Xinghuo replied and asked, "The workshop asked you if you have commercial insurance?" β
"I asked, I have to pay more than a dozen dollars a month."
"Are there a lot of people on it?"
"Not much."
Although commercial insurance was introduced by Daming Bank, it was not well received by workers and citizens, while commodity insurance for export goods was sought after by businessmen involved in maritime trade.
Commercial insurance generally includes sickness insurance, work-related injury insurance, and unemployment insurance, which requires more than a dozen yuan a month, and even dozens of yuan if it is more, and the workers in the workshop almost instinctively resist this.
They would rather have more copper coins on hand than prepare for possible accidents in the future.
And there are a considerable number of people who are more interested in participating in various associations that also have the nature of insurance or folk religions that contain the nature of mutual aid. Or they are less willing to trust investment in the government and more willing to trust the credibility of private organizations.
For this reason, it is impossible for the workshop to force them to buy, only for the purpose of advocacy.
"If you can buy it, it is a guarantee after all, and the child will be sent to study when he is old, and there may be a way out for him to study in the future."
"There's no rush in this matter, I'll send him there when the weather gets warmer for a while, or I'm not worried about going back and forth."
Jiang Xinghuo nodded: "Okay, don't rush, take your time, we have time, and we don't have to rush." β
"yes, don't rush, take your time." Deng Lao Liang said happily.
When the others saw this, they couldn't help but bow their heads and laugh, and Jiang Xinghuo also laughed.
Jiang Xinghuo himself also realized that maybe he had higher expectations for their lives, hoping that they and their descendants could live a better life, but in fact, from their point of view, they already felt very happy and satisfied with the changes in their lives now.
The word "not in a hurry" itself contains hope.
Life is a long, long road, maybe there is only a moment when you look back, but in fact, for these people who have met in the edict, although these old friends have not gathered much, they have always had a great relationship, this friendship is not as hypocritical as other relationships, it is sincere, pure friendship, even if they are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, but there are still each other in their hearts. It's just that the time is getting longer and fading, and maybe one day, even this kind of scene of sitting down for a meal or even saying goodbye will not be seen again.
But what does it matter?
Jiang Xinghuo stayed at Deng's house for a while, and then said goodbye to Deng Lao Liangtong and others.
The Deng family and the child sent him out of the alley all the way, watching him ride away, the child wiped the sweat on his forehead, and muttered: "The people around the national teacher are really powerful, it is the first time I have seen such a majestic horse, if only I could raise a horse for the national teacher." β
"It's not productive."
Liu glanced at his son fiercely, and he didn't have a good air.
Deng Lao Liang leaned against the fence outside, as if he had made up his mind, and immediately said: "I'll send you to study when spring begins!" What the national teacher said can't be wrong, don't go to the mine. β
ββββββ
At the same time, a private banquet was also being held in the city of Nanjing.
This is an ordinary mansion in the capital, it is the property left by a certain official who returned to his hometown before, it used to belong to it is not important, anyway, it was returned to the treasury when Jing was difficult, and when Jin Youzi was appointed as the Shaoqing of the Law Temple last year, the emperor gave this house to Jin Youzi as his new residence.
But today, because it is Jin Youzi's birthday, there are many officials gathered here.
Sanyang, Xie Jin, Hu Yan, Hu Guang and others are impressively listed, as well as Lu Zhen, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Li Wei, Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, and the people of the six departments did not come much, and the level of Shilang and Shangshu is even missing.
When the wine is drunk, it is inevitable to talk about things in the temple when the face is red and the ears are hot, and today Jin Youzi is the protagonist, so naturally he also revolves around his work.
The "Da Ming Law" has been officially announced to the world and has become the law of the status of the Heavenly Constitution, and this version of the "Da Ming Law", compared with the past, mainly moves on the salt law, the test law and the relevant provisions of the sea ban.
As for the Insurance Law and the Social Welfare Law, and even the previous restrictions on the procurement rights of various departments, as well as similar to Jiang Xinghuo's mention a few days ago, "eliminating redundant personnel in various yamen, restricting the power of 'hidden officials', and severely punishing the theft and sale of state materials", they belong to secondary laws and supplementary laws to cases, which are similar to the "Great Message".
This year, the main task of the temple is to revise the laws related to trade, that is, these laws, including the foreign trade law, the domestic commerce law, and the commodity insurance law.
On the whole, things are complicated, and it is not easy to sort them out in a short period of time, and it can be regarded as crossing the river by feeling the stones with the changes.
Sanyang's mood was not high, because they didn't do much to make small moves in private, so they were educated by the emperor without leaving a trace, and the eldest princess was even eaten and hung up, which made them a little discouraged for a while.
Obviously, although they are all very smart, they have not been in the official career for a short time, their performance in the temple is not mature enough, and even the intrigues they play are not clever, so it is a matter of course to usher in a self-defeating ending.
But fortunately, Zhu Gaochi gave them a backdrop.
Although Zhu Gaochi is younger and his health is not good, his performance in politics is far more mature than them, the emperor asked him to think about it behind closed doors, he really thought about it behind closed doors, summed up his governance deviations and methods of doing things in the past year or so, and carefully observed Jiang Xinghuo's actions outside, this is obviously a strong man who is good at learning and growing.
The guests also have their own small circles, and some things that are inconvenient to say to others are less scruples in this kind of private occasion.
The new Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Lu Zhen, is a particularly cunning person, he has been persuading people to drink, and then he silently listens to others with a wine glass.
Hu Guang obviously drank a little high, and his tongue was big at this time when he was red-faced, but the wall grass's brain was always clear, and his words were not biased.
"This, this supplementary regulation, in line with the restriction of procurement, good, very good!"
For a person like Hu Guang who works in the cabinet, he himself does not have the right to procure, and he cannot make money or occupy it, so this time it is naturally very good to eliminate redundant personnel and crack down on the theft and sale of materials.
But for Lang Zhong, Wai Lang, and the chief of the people who work in the temples next to them, it is not good at all, and this is a trick that is nested in their soft underbelly.
Not to mention the right to procure, this is where the biggest oil and water lies, but since the East Window incident of the Criminal Department's paper slashing incident, because it involves the development of the entire Jingshi business, the procurement right of various related supplies has been uniformly cancelled.
And without the "eat and take card" on the procurement right, there is basically only the upside-down materials and the filial piety of the officials.
Now the officials who came in were about to be cleared one after another, and the warehouse began to check all kinds of accounts.
But what's the use?
The three-board axe of rectifying the rule of officials, the test of the law and the Jingcha, have all been cut to the officials, bringing out a piece of blood, the officials are powerless to resist, and the last axe is cut on the head of the little official, and the little official who has less power to speak is just crying out in vain.
"This is not the case with the Qingli New Deal."
At this time, Lu Zhen, the young secretary of Dali Temple, who had not spoken out, spoke.
It's a very subtle phrase that has different effects when heard in different people's ears.
To those who are unhappy with these new policies, this is a yin and yang outrage, but to those who support the changes or the beneficiaries of them, it seems to be a neutral phrase that no one can blame for anything.
Moreover, many things can only be distinguished by "support" or "no support" changes between positions and attitudes, and attitudes towards this are completely different in different positions.
For example, although the people in the cabinet may agree with it on the surface but do not agree with the change in their hearts, they support the rectification of the rule of officials, because it is not their interests that are harmed, but also in line with their political ethics.
As for Xie Jin, the secretary of Honglu Temple, and Li Wei, the young secretary of Guanglu Temple, who had risen to the position suddenly because they supported the reform of the law, these new policies for the rectification of officials did damage their actual interests, but these actual interests were relatively insignificant compared to their official careers.
As for the priest of the country, such a person with clean sleeves does not approve of the further rectification of the rule of officials, and these policies do not harm his interests or even affect his official career, but they are contrary to his political morality.
And that's just the different positions, attitudes, and opinions of the dozen or so people present. It can only be said that political diversity is sometimes no different from biodiversity, and it is enough to be diverse.
Jin Youzi saw that the limelight was wrong, as the host of today's banquet, he just invited his colleagues to a small gathering in the name of his birthday, consolidated his contacts and connected with his feelings, but he didn't want to make any trouble, so he hurriedly said.
"Qingli's new policy, how can it be compared with today's changes."
"Why not?"
To everyone's surprise, others hadn't squeaked yet, and Hu Yan, who was a mellow Confucian, actually twisted his beard and asked rhetorically.
"Isn't it the same reason that the Qingli New Deal uses the 'Ming Dynasty' to strictly enforce the system of promotion and promotion of officials, and changes the earlier grinding system of promoting officials according to their seniority and only promoting but not demotion, to deciding the promotion or demotion of officials according to their performance evaluations.
There is nothing wrong with this statement in theory, but combined with the ending of the Qingli New Deal, it always seems to mean something.
In fact, the reason why the Qingli New Deal failed, to a large extent, is that the rectification of the government is too ruthless, Fan Zhongyan and others to rectify the various measures of the government, a large number of officials who are not good enough to get rid of the high positions, and there are many children of high-ranking officials who are pampered and waiting for Yin En to be officials have no future, plus for the promotion of officials, that is, "choosing officials", there is indeed a problem of "how to choose", the new politicians must use nepotism, and therefore promote many of their relatives and friends to key positions, in this way, As a result, from top to bottom, from officials to official reserves, their interests were damaged and the foundation of their rule was directly shaken, so Song Renzong immediately stopped the Qingli New Deal after feeling the threat of the throne shaking.
At that moment, at this moment.
Although the first two axes of the examination method and Jingcha are no different from the "Ming Dynasty", the third axe that cuts the material interests of the grassroots of the temples is the same as the "suppression of luck" and "Jungongtian".
At this point, with the strength of the wine, the topic naturally continued.
Lu Zhen, the young secretary of Dali Temple, asked: "Everyone, what do you think of this problem?" β
The original Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Yu Qian, who participated in the trial of Li Zhigang's case when Chen Qia, the secretary of Dali Temple, and Huang Fu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, went to Annan to prepare for military salaries, and now he has been promoted to the secretary of the Taifu Temple, and Lu Zhen's qualifications and resume are quite good.
Lu Zhen is also a student of the Hongwu Dynasty, Lao Zhu once let him out of the two Zhejiang Tianfu, did a good job, so he was promoted to Shandong according to the inspection of the secretary of the department, and later transferred to the household department as the director, Jianwen Dynasty in the early years of the promotion of Beiping according to the inspection of the matter, surrendered Zhu Di during the battle of Jingjing, and served as the prefect of Zhending (is the fourth product) before becoming the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and the Shaoqing of Dali Temple was originally from the fifth grade in the early Ming Dynasty, but was promoted to the fourth grade in the twenty-second year of Hongwu, so the grade Lu Zhen was transferred to Beijing from the local magistrate, But in fact, it is half an appointment higher.
Unlike many civil officials in the Beiping system, Lu Zhen was mixed in Beijing, Shandong, and Zhejiang when he was in the Hongwu Dynasty, and he had a lot of friends, and he had a very good relationship with Hongwu-Jianwen, and he belonged to a rare person who could take care of both ends.
Xie Jin coughed and only said: "Ancient and modern are different, and they cannot be generalized, but changing the law is the desire of the people and the trend of the times, and even if there are pains in rectifying the rule of officials, it is inevitable." β
Obviously, Xie Dashen is worthy of being a strong warrior who has been stabbed twice with his physical body, and this position is not ordinarily stable.
And since the incident in Jianwen's fourth year, he knows very well that when he gathers with friends, especially when he drinks at the party and then talks nonsense, it is a pit, and it is a pit that he digs and buries himself!
But Hu Yan doesn't think so, this person sees the problem too thoroughly, and he is unwilling to be flexible.
"Taking history as a mirror, we can know the succession; With people as a mirror, you can see the gains and losses. β
"When the Duke of Rongguo asked for a change in the law, I said that whether the change can be made depends on whether it can cultivate a profit-making class, but today's various measures are more and more worrying to me."
Yang Shiqi couldn't help but pull him at this time, and said in a low voice: "Ruosi, be cautious!" β
Hu Yan didn't care about it, and seemed to pour out his thoughts and thoughts over the past few days with the strength of wine: "Now in the Guozi Prison, the scholars' thoughts are confused, the customs and morals do not exist, and the people's hearts are all thinking about profit, and they all look at the signs to pursue profits. β
"Teaching and educating people, what is taught is sincerity and righteousness, but it is a pity that now the Guozijian is crooked from top to bottom."
Jin Youzi came to his senses for a long time and said in surprise: "You can't be crazy!" β
"Is there anything wrong with what I'm saying?"
In fact, according to Hu Yan's logic, there is nothing inappropriate, Cheng Zhu Lixue is not good, even if the defenders are duplicitous, but I have to admit that Cheng Zhu Lixue has done a very good job in strengthening moral binding force and forming a moral society, at least, Cheng Zhu Lixue does not encourage people to pursue profits.
So from the logic of Hu Yan, the source of Cheng Zhu Lixue also advocated that the scholars should be honest and honest officials in the future. Of course, what kind of hanging it is, all the middle and high-ranking officials who participated in the banquet know it in their hearts.
Hu Yan's argument is that there is a contradiction between the current change in wind direction and the actual implementation of policies.
Li Wei, the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, was brought up by Jiang Xinghuo from the pedestrian division, and at this time he was also busy saying: "How can there be so many ways to get the best of both worlds? β
"What's the best of both worlds? It's two different things entirely! β
At this time, Xie Jin suddenly scolded sharply.
Li Wei suddenly ascended to a high position, his foundation was very empty, and in the face of Xie Jin, who was famous all over the world, he was submissive at this time, and he didn't dare to say anything.
Xie Jin then stood up and asked Hu Yan: "Rectifying the rule of officials, is it wrong to return the world to Haiqing Heyan and Lang Lang Qiankun?" β
"I didn't say that it was wrong to rectify the rule of officials, don't change your concept."
Hu Yan learned the meaning of the word "stealing the concept" from Jiang Xinghuo.
"Practical and practical."
Xie Jin became more and more impatient: "Benevolence, righteousness and morality can't be exchanged for food and money, not that benevolence, righteousness and morality are not important, but if we want to help the people through the country, we can't rely on empty talk. What's more, who said that mentioning 'the four people are the foundation' does not mention benevolence, righteousness and morality? Were the two contradictory during the Northern Song Dynasty? What does the rectification of the rule of officials have to do with the change of atmosphere in your country? I think you're so drunk! β
Xie Jin's words were sharp, Hu Yan couldn't resist for a while, and at this time, Hu Yan looked at everyone's somewhat wrong eyes, and he also came to his senses, the wine dissipated, and there was a cold sweat behind him.
Lu Zhen stood up at this time: "Be calm and calm." β
"It's all for the good of the country, so why bother? But I can't forget, in the end, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. β
Yang Rong also pointed to his chest and said, "My generation of scholars, since they have read the books of sages, they should always have a bit of style. β
When everyone heard this, they fell silent.
Yang Rong's words, at this moment, can't tell whether it is a secret poke and poke sarcasm or really moved, in short, the scene is cold.
After sitting awkwardly for a while, Jin Youzi said, "It's not too early, let's go back and rest early." β
Lu Zhen snorted and said, "In this case, I will retire first." β
And then they departed, each with a hitch.
And not long after, Ji Gang, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who was concentrating on coaxing the baby in the middle of the night, received the news.
(End of chapter)
