Zhu Yijun actually doesn't like these rotten Confucians, and he is always tired when he plays against them, for example, when he talks about this feast, he has to ask the little emperor what politics is.

Wang Jiaping, a bachelor of the feast, was stunned for a moment before he spoke: "Politics, righteousness, for politics, for righteousness." ”

Another bachelor, Jiajing's forty-fourth year champion Lang Fan, bowed his head and said: "Politics, Wen Ye, for politicians, Shang Wen also." ”

Wang Jiaping didn't wait for the emperor to ask questions, and continued: "The way of government, for the right people, use the right people, do the right way, and do the right thing." ”

"Government affairs are complicated, just use the right people, the first task of the government, should be the use of people, good people are in a high position, then the villain reined in his deeds; Be high and simple, and lift the weight lightly. ”

Fan Yingzhi continued: "The law of government: the text carries the Tao, the pen is the instrument, the culture of the people, and the pen gives birth to flowers. ”

"The crowd is clamoring, and it is just a matter of guiding the righteousness, and the first initiative of the government is to uphold the positive atmosphere, and the atmosphere is clear and the Haiyan River is clear, and the bad behavior is nowhere to hide; The pen is a tool that is vertical and horizontal, and educates all people. ”

Wang Jiaping said quite solemnly: "With the right text, the government can be governed, the country can be expected, and the people want." ”

Zhu Yijun listened to the words of the two people, and then looked at the "Four Books of Straight Explanations" annotated by Zhang Juzheng in his hand, and was silent for a long time before saying: "Mr. Yuanfu explained: Politics: Those who are righteous are not righteous, and correcting the incorrect behavior of others is politics. ”

Zhang Juzheng interprets the political word, and the bachelor interprets the political word, and the interpretation is all orthography.

Zhang Juzheng interprets a verb, corrected, and has the power to correct.

But when it comes to feasting bachelors, what is explained is the noun, the righteous and the righteous.

Wang Jiaping and Fan Yingqi glanced at each other again, bowed their heads and said in unison, "What Mr. Yuanfu said is right. ”

"Hahaha." Feng Bao and Zhang Hong, the two eunuchs did not hesitate to ridicule themselves, and they all said that the eunuchs were flattering, which of these ministers in the court was not a powerful person? Everyone is equally virtuous, why do civil officials scold eunuchs every day?

When the two scholars talked about the feast, when there was a difference in their understanding from Zhang Juzheng, they would only say that, Mr. Yuanfu was right?

Zhu Yijun smiled.

Feng Bao looked at Wang Jiaping and Fan Yingqi, Zhang Juzheng and His Majesty answered fluently, very fluently, but these two bachelors were a little cramped.

Zhang Ju is the first assistant, the current cabinet is very different from the cabinet in the early Ming Dynasty, the cabinet in the early Ming Dynasty can only be regarded as a secretariat, responsible for helping the emperor deal with some official documents, and the current cabinet is monstrous, is the administrative center.

The rise of cabinet power was in the orthodox years, when the lord Shaoguo was suspicious, Sanyang auxiliary government, in Jingtai, Tianshun, and Chenghua years, there was a certain repetition, but in the Hongzhi period of Ming Xiaozong, the cabinet has become the representative of the ministers, and the status of the first assistant began to become more and more noble, and the first assistant was also at that time, and gradually became the head of the hundred officials.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the cabinet only had a parliamentary power and could express opinions, but did not have any executive power.

However, in the cabinet of the Wanli period, Shoufu could act not only the parliamentary power, but also the executive power, and some of the decision-making power that originally belonged to the emperor was transferred to the cabinet.

Yang Bo, Wang Chonggu, Zhang Siwei, and Ge Shouli have deep roots in the Jin Party, and they can still fight with Zhang Juzheng, but Wang Jiaping and Fan Yingzhi don't have the courage to question Zhang Juzheng's point of view, otherwise they will be removed the next day because they stepped into the official office with their left foot.

Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Jiaping and Fan Yingqi and shook his head and asked, "What is virtue?" ”

Wang Jiaping bowed his head and said: "Benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith." ”

Fan Yingqi bowed his head and said: "Be gentle and frugal." ”

Wang Jiaping continued: "Self-cultivation, Qi family, governing the country, and leveling the world, and its premise is to learn things, enlightenment, sincerity, and righteousness. A person's cultivation is virtuous in the heart and externalized into etiquette. ”

Fan Yingqi continued: "Erudition, prudence, dedication, and benevolence, and the premise of this is kindness, humility, frugality, and forbearance. Hundreds of billions of people practice, the way is virtuous, and the way is courteous. ”

It's all the right.

After listening to this, Zhu Yijun looked at the two bachelors and asked: "Mr. Yuanfu explained: Virtue: The principle of bowing to the heart is that you need to experience it yourself, and the truth you can get from what you have seen and heard, what you think and think is virtue." ”

"Compendium ethics, first prepare your own body, and then teach to guide the world; Discipline and law, first stick to oneself, and then legislate to tidy up the world, saying: Virtue is the law in the heart, and the law is written virtue. ”

"Self-cultivation with virtue, rule the country by law, and those who are upright are not righteous, and govern with virtue."

"What do you think, two scholars?"

Wang Jiaping and Fan Yingqi were helpless, bowed their heads and said, "Mr. Yuanfu is right. ”

When politics is a noun, the interpreted virtue is also a noun, and when politics is a verb, the interpreted virtue is also a verb.

"Two bachelors, is this only what Mr. Yuanfu said right?" Zhu Yijun said with disappointment that as a ten-year-old little emperor, he was happy to learn how to govern the country, but Wang Jiaping and Fan Yingzhi did not seem to dare to challenge Zhang Juzheng's authority.

"Your Majesty is wise." Wang Jiaping and Fan Yingqi didn't know how to answer, so they could only bow their heads and say.

"Hahaha!" Feng Bao and Zhang Hong finally laughed, looking at the two embarrassed bachelors, and laughing extraordinarily.

Feng Bao and Zhang Hong as internal officials, their duty is to tear up with the outer court under the instructions of the emperor, this foreign minister has lost face, Feng Bao and Zhang Hong naturally want to be unforgiving, at this time do not beat the water dogs, when will they stay?

"Two bachelors, do you want to hear what you have to say?" Feng Bao still asked happily.

"Okay, okay, don't laugh at the two Dajue, the lecture notes of the Wenhua Palace, the correction officials are looking at it, what kind of system is it?" Zhu Yijun stopped the two Da Jue from laughing wildly.

The correctors who were in charge of correcting the etiquette immediately stood up straight, with serious faces, and stopped smiling on their faces.

The correction officer is served by the Han general, the Han general is an official position, subordinate to the Jinyi Guard, specifically responsible for correcting etiquette, the correction officer is really really trained in strict professional training, under normal circumstances, they will never laugh.

After all, the magistrate was responsible for correcting the etiquette of the courtiers and courtiers.

But the corrector was laughing at the two scholars just now.

Zhu Yijun looked at the two scholars, sat upright and asked, "Two bachelors, I am confused." ”

"For the sake of politics and virtue, a gentleman, and a ruler, if a gentleman has no virtue, what should he do?"

"In other words, if a gentleman does not cultivate virtue, self-discipline, virtue, or self-cultivation, what should he do?"

"To be more precise, gentlemen, regard this world as their own selfishness, right and wrong, just their own opinion, they are knowledgeable, knowledgeable, worldly and sophisticated, good at disguise, know how to use the rules for personal gain, only self-interest and disadvantage of the public, do not promote and resolute, the officials are greedy, run in private households, do not do official business, what should they do?"

If he played it right with Zhang Juzheng, Zhu Yijun wouldn't explain it in such detail, because he only needed to say that the gentleman was not virtuous, and Zhang Juzheng knew what he was talking about, but with these two bachelors, Zhu Yijun was afraid that the two scholars would not understand, so he said it very clearly.

The efficiency rate is low, Zhang Juzheng is a follower and knows how to be flexible, and the two scholars in front of him are clear streams, respecting etiquette and morality, and they are extremely disdainful of the way of adaptation.

Wang Jiaping and Fan Yingzhi were silent, and the two of them were slightly unstable, is this a topic that can be discussed?

This is a slide that can't be touched, how do you say that?

Your Majesty's question, the more you listen to it, the more you are scolding the Jin Party!

Wang Jiaping said quite accurately: "The gentleman is in a daze, what he does is not right, he should dare to offend the face of the gentleman, speak of the gentleman's mistakes, and he will not be punished, and he will die for national security!" If you don't regret what you have done, you should be a direct minister! If the minister is not virtuous, he will be impeached, and the king has..."

Wang Jiaping was stuck, Fan Yingzhi was responsible for pressing the formation, and when Wang Jiaping couldn't go on, Fan Yingqi came out and said: "You have..."

"You have... What? Zhu Yijun asked with a smile.

Wang Jiaping and Fan Yingzhi were fooled!

His Majesty has been emphasizing that a gentleman is a ruler of people, and interprets a gentleman as a person who governs the country, but when the word jun corresponds to a minister, it means just the emperor!

For thousands of years, the monarch and the minister, the son does not say anything about the father, and the minister does not say that the king is lost.

For example, the king of Shang lost the world because of Daji; There are only courtiers kneeling in front of Yue Fei Temple, there is no Zhao Gou, it is Qin Hui who deceives the lord; For example, Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen defeated Tumubao and it was Wang Zhen's fault; And Zhu Qizhen killed Yu Qian with 'intention' and pushed it on Xu Youzhen's head.

Most of the mistakes of these monarchs are harem concubines and eunuchs.

The emperor is always innocent, and the emperor is always clean.

"If you make a mistake, you will be reprimanded." Zhu Yijun completed the two bachelors, and then asked: "Admonish, advise, the courtiers advise, if the emperor doesn't listen, what should I do?" ”

"In the forty-fourth year of Jiajing, Hai Rui carried the coffin on the "Public Security Sparse", angrily reprimanded the king for his mistakes, disloyalty and filial piety, grandpa said that Hai Rui wanted to learn to do more, and I didn't want to be the king of business, so he left his life, the first emperor ascended the throne, amnesty to the world, Hai Rui out of the prison, still for the imperial history.

"But after the first emperor ascended the throne, he did not summon his auxiliary ministers for six years, and he had nothing to do when he was in the court, if the emperor did not listen to the advice, what should he do?"

For the sake of politics and morality, there is no problem logically, but this emperor does not cultivate virtue, under the framework of Confucian monarchs and ministers, what should he do?

He didn't summon the auxiliary ministers for six years, and he didn't do anything when he was in the court, but it was not just what Zhu Yijun said, it was the advice of Gao Gong and the ministers.

Emperor Longqing was the emperor for six years, did not summon the auxiliary ministers, and went to the court to do something hastily, if there is nothing to do, the courtiers persuaded it, but did not persuade, but Jiajing and Emperor Longqing were still willing to seal, and the error correction mechanism of the Ming Dynasty could still run.

The courtiers don't fight anymore, what are they fighting? If you don't even have a person, who will you fight with? Fighting the air?

Wanli has not been in the court for 30 years, does not participate in the court meeting, does not participate in the daily court meeting, and does not even seal it, so no one will persuade him? There are many people who persuade him, and Emperor Wanli pursues the principle of three nos, not listening, not watching, and not speaking, and the court is almost suspended.

Emperor Wanli had no choice but to face the courtiers' "Wine and Wealth", he couldn't fight.

The courtiers had no choice but to persuade the Wanli Emperor in the face of the three bad laws.

What should I do if I don't listen to the persuasion?

"Die to your ears!" Wang Jiaping must answer, the emperor is confused, as a bachelor, he must solve the doubt, but he can only give a vague answer.

Zhu Yijun shook his head and said: "If you want to hit the pillar, the correction officer will stop it, and then enter the Fusi Yamen of Beizhen for the crime of dereliction of honor. ”

"What's the use of not listening, watching, or speaking?"

Wenhua Hall fell into silence, only the sound of the wind blowing the curtain, so that everyone knew that time was constantly passing, the air suddenly became quiet, the atmosphere was slightly solemn, Wang Jiaping and Fan Yingzhi did not say a word, this could not be continued, and it was disloyal and unfilial.

Wang Jiaping's heart was roaring, the emperor didn't do anything, the emperor didn't cultivate morality, what should I do?

What can I do?

Of course, the high-arched "Chen Wushi Shu" is the most appropriate!

Gao Gong in the beginning of June of the sixth year of Longqing, on the "Chen Wushi Shu", a total of five specific contents: one emperor listens to the government; 2. punish the dictatorship of eunuchs; Three of them asked the superintendent to be deposed; the Cabinet of the Four Powers Restored; The five pieces of music have not been issued by the cabinet and cannot be approved from within.

Among the five articles of the high arch, the most taboo is the last one, and it is not legal to play the cabinet without issuing a cabinet vote, and the emperor must personally come forward to explain, and the others can be interpreted as the political struggle between the cabinet and the celebrant supervisor, after all, the law of the ancestors is on the top, and there is no celebrant supervising this kind of thing during the Hongwu period.

But high arch, what does this last one mean?

This directly frightened the Empress Dowager Li.

Especially when Emperor Longqing had just been on the road for six days, he was on the high arch, and he didn't even pass the first seven!

"Two, do you want Mr. Motosuke to come?" Zhu Yijun looked at the two scholars and gave them a solution, and chose to let them go.

Zhu Yijun is Zhang Juzheng's wall-breaker, and these two bachelors themselves don't understand the words politics and morality, and they are not qualified enough.
