The emperor knew that Concubine Xin and Xie Yunshu lived in the same room during the draft, and the two were quite close to each other, and Concubine Xin had no other friends in Beijing, so it was normal to miss Xie Yunshu in love.

Concubine Xin misses Xie Yunshu, and if she has the opportunity to meet and wants to talk to her more, the emperor won't mind.

It's just that Concubine Xin said and said, "Your Majesty, Miss Xie is a quasi-crown princess, and the concubine is the emperor's person, if the concubine specially invited Miss Xie to speak, will someone gossip about the concubine?" If the concubine hears it, the concubine will not follow! ”

The emperor thought that she was going to say that if she knew, she wanted him to make the decision for her, but he couldn't help but be happy when he heard this, and quipped: "Oh? So how can Yao'er not follow? ”

Concubine Xin's beautiful willow eyebrows were raised, her watery eyes were shining, and she said without thinking: "Of course the concubine has to scold that nonsense, if it is more annoying, the concubine is afraid that she will do it." ”

"Nonsense," the emperor scolded with a smile: "How old are you and still so impulsive?" ”

Concubine Xin was not convinced, and muttered with a small mouth: "The emperor said yesterday that the concubine is still young."

The emperor told her to be angry and funny, "That's different, I am making trouble with you, in front of outsiders, you are my concubine, you have to hold some of it, you can't let people see the joke." ”

"Then if someone bullies the concubines, will the emperor be the master of the concubines?"

"That's nature!"

He's not enough to protect her? She was about to walk sideways in this palace. But it didn't hurt, he not only turned a blind eye to himself, but also hinted that Concubine Shu and the others turned a blind eye and didn't provoke her.

"What if the emperor didn't know that the concubine was bullied?"

The emperor couldn't help laughing: "This is interesting, there are still things in this palace that I don't know?" ”

As long as he wants to know.

Concubine Xin finally smiled, hugged his arm and coquettishly coquettishly: "With the emperor's words, the concubines will rest assured!" ”

Concubine Xin naturally didn't casually quote these words, this was the prince asked her to send a message to her, so that she could find an opportunity to say it in front of the emperor.

She didn't quite understand why, but she did it.

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival Palace Banquet, the emperor remembered what his beloved little concubine said, so he ordered the chief eunuch Gao Gonggong to send someone to pay attention to the Dragon Boat Festival Palace banquet in the harem and report anything in time.

Gao Gonggong pondered these words and vaguely guessed a few points, but he was not very sure what the emperor meant, but it was always right to report something.

Gonggong Gao was loyal to the emperor and conscientious.

Miao Qing Zhenren made it difficult for Miss Xie, and Concubine Xin went back for Miss Xie, this is a big deal, right? One is the prospective crown princess, and the other is the emperor's favorite at the moment, both of whom the emperor cares about, and their affairs are worth reporting

Gao Gonggong took the time to reply simply.

If the emperor only nodded and didn't react otherwise, then there was no need to elaborate.

If the emperor asks, then let's talk about it.

Who knew that the emperor asked with interest, and Gonggong Gao knew that he was not paying attention to the wrong, so he hurriedly spoke in detail.

The emperor was amused when he heard it.

However, thinking about the problems carried by the little story that Xie Yunshu said, the more I thought about it, the more I couldn't stop.

He couldn't help but think to himself, what if he chosen? How to choose?

After thinking about it, I didn't know where to start.

The emperor was very interested in this issue, so he ordered Gonggong Gao to say it in public, and smiled at the ministers: "All Aiqing may wish to tell me, if you come to choose, what should you do?" ”

The court ministers are different from the concubines and nobles, their knowledge, life experience, and officialdom experience make them can't help but think secretly.

The more I think about it, the more I feel it.

In the end, it is the emperor, and the questions asked are so different.

Soon there was a lot of talking.

The result is obvious, and the two schools of thought are at loggerheads.

There are those who stand firm in the law, believing that innocent people cannot be sacrificed to save the number of people who break the law, no matter how many there are, and that those who do wrong will be punished.

Otherwise, wouldn't the law be an ornament? How can it win the trust of the people?

If you can't win the trust of the people, how can you talk about governing the civil affairs under the rule?

Some people believe that human life is greater than heaven, and that one human life is not necessarily impossible to follow in a hurry compared to the lives of several or even more people.

After all, human lives matter

As for doing something wrong, who is not a saint or a sage? If you know your mistakes, you can correct them!

As for the innocent sacrifice of a human life, it is to compensate his family afterwards. This is also a helpless move to choose the lesser of two powers.

The other party was angry and scolded the other party for being a hypocrite and misbehaving! Why do some people do wrong things themselves, but ask innocent people to pay? Even if you have the ability to learn, ignoring the law is not virtuous and impetuous, so what is the use of keeping those who are unvirtuous and unvirtuous?

The other side is also angry, accusing the other party of being dull and pedantic and inflexible, but in fact has no concept of the overall situation. Sometimes sacrificing the ego can save the ego, sacrificing one person can save more people, why not? You must know that sometimes, it is necessary to have innocent sacrifices, although cruel, but this is a fact.

The two sides also quoted scriptures and related the topic to the political ideas of their respective sides, and the quarrel became more and more red-faced and thick-necked.

Some people even almost made a move.

The emperor was speechless

He didn't expect his courtiers to be so able to quarrel about everything.

However, it's also quite interesting to listen to them arguing, much more interesting than watching a cabaret show.

The emperor did not express his position, and only left a faint sentence at the end: What you Aiqing said is quite reasonable!

The ministers were unwilling, especially the people of the Hanlin Academy, who were already good at talking and debating, and they couldn't discuss a result and couldn't convince each other, which was even more uncomfortable than not eating or sleeping.

Everyone hummed angrily and made an appointment and continued to argue, only to conquer the other party and make the other party speechless.

They can clearly see that the root cause of this problem is actually the struggle between the rule of law and the rule of man. Is the rule of law more reasonable, or is the rule of man more reasonable? If so, to what extent is the compatibility appropriate? What about the criteria for judging? How are boundaries defined? And who will supervise and judge when the rule of law should be used and when the rule of man should be applied?

Does the emperor want to change the law?

The problem quickly spread, not only the ministers, but also many scholars could not help but discuss and debate.

After a few days, everyone learned that this question was not a whim of the emperor, but from the harem Dragon Boat Festival banquet, Miss Xie said.

The look of the crowd is called a wonderful.

The vein that supports the crown prince reacted and naturally praised it: she is worthy of being a prospective princess, studious and knowledgeable! It is absolutely impossible to ask such questions without delving into the study of knowledge to a certain extent.

Xie Yunshu once again became famous in the capital.
