Chapter 55 The people are noble and the king is light
Fang Ping stared at Lu Chen with a shocked expression.
His shocking words kept echoing in his ears, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.
A change of dynasties... Dynasties rise and fall... Prosperous and troubled times.... Historical Evolution...... Everything that happened in the vast land of Central Continent, the answer that countless people with lofty ideals had gone forward to seek but could not seek, seemed to have a faint trace of an eyebrow in Lu Chen's words.
As a result, he, who was also struggling to find the answer, was completely immersed in it at this moment, unable to extricate himself, and completely forgot his duties as the chief judge of the three divisions.
Although the reaction of the others was not as violent as his, they were also extremely surprised by these words.
Some of them scoffed, and a few subconsciously continued to savor the truth contained in these words.
For just a moment, their eyes lit up slightly, as if they had been inspired by something, and then after a short period of excitement, they looked at Lu Chen with a sense of reverence in their eyes.
Being able to say these thought-provoking and heart-wrenching words is enough to prove that Lu Chen is not just a lucky person, but a great talent with real talent!
Can be a celebrity and a celebrity!
At this time, almost everyone's eyes were focused on Lu Chen.
Xia Yan looked at him with great emotion, as if he had found a confidant.
Originally, he didn't think about it so much, but he saw that the people of Yongchuan were too poor and couldn't bear it, so he did whatever it took to govern Yongchuan at all costs, so that these poor people could live a better life, a little better.
For this reason, he did not hesitate to deviate from the teachings of the sages.
embezzled and took bribes, and colluded with officials, just to give the people of Yongchuan a better life.
It is precisely because he consciously deviates from the holy way that he is bent on death, even if everything he does is for the people of Yongchuan, and he has never had a trace of selfishness, he still accepts all the charges calmly, according to the national law.
Just to leave yourself with the last bit of decency.
But now, hearing Lu Chen say this, he suddenly had a feeling of seeing the dawn through the clouds and mist, and even being empowered.
The inherent cognition formed by years of hard reading in the past few years was faintly shaken at this moment.
He really felt that Lu Chen's words made sense.
He can't say what the specific reason is, but there is a feeling that everything he did in Yongchuan is not meaningless, the respect and love of the people from the heart, and the fact that he did not hesitate to travel thousands of miles to Luojing to save him, proved that his approach was correct.
But those Yongchuan people were extremely excited and bowed down in front of Lu Chen.
They didn't understand what boats and waters, but they could hear that this young official might be like Xia Yan, and he had them in his heart.
Moreover, Lu Chen was obviously speaking for Xia Yan now, and they immediately regarded Lu Chen as a savior, begging him to save Xia Yan.
"Nonsense!"
Just when some of the courtiers were immersed in Lu Chen's sobering words, an inopportune voice sounded.
But seeing Hu Yan pointing at Lu Chen, he shouted loudly: "The affairs of the world lie in Your Majesty, in all the virtuous people, when will it be the turn of those ignorant leaders who have no knowledge?" Lu Chen, you dare to say such a rebellious remark, saying that the most important thing in the world is the people, did you put Your Majesty in your heart when you said this? Is it true that in your eyes, Your Majesty is not as important as the people? ”
As soon as these words came out, many courtiers frowned.
Xia Yan's eyes froze suddenly.
"Master Hu, what you said, have you passed?"
"Shut up the official!"
Hu Yan glanced at him contemptuously, and said coldly: "It's just a criminal official, when the adults didn't ask you, where did you get the qualifications to speak?" ”
After a pause, he said again: "Don't think that you pretend to be high, do something that you think is noble, and a few people who have been bewitched by you are desperately trying to exonerate you, you can escape death, this official tells you, it is impossible!" ”
"No matter why you are corrupt, and why do you want to slap the demon queen henchmen, corruption is corruption and corruption, even if the entire people of Yongchuan come to Luojing to excuse you, it is useless! The law is ruthless! Not to mention that the official does not eat this set, the people of insight in the court will never be affected by your tricks, how to judge is still how to judge, you will definitely not be able to escape! ”
Hearing this, Xia Yan's face suddenly sank.
Just as he was about to speak again, Lu Chen suddenly stretched out his hand and waved it at him, signaling him not to say anything more.
Seeing this, Xia Yan swallowed back what he originally wanted to say, and just stared at Hu Yan coldly.
After Lu Chen stopped Xia Yan, he raised his head and looked at Hu Yan.
"Lord Hu, do you know why the once invincible Tang Dynasty more than 3,000 years ago was able to spread its prestige far and wide, making all nations come to the dynasty and flourish for a while, and why it suddenly declined and lost the world in just over a hundred years after the earth-shattering change?" (Note: This Tang Dynasty is not the other Tang Dynasty, but there is a loss of similarity, all historians beg to let it go!) )
As soon as the words fell, without waiting for Hu Yan to show disdain that he was too lazy to pay attention to such an inconsequential topic, Fang Ping on the presiding judge asked urgently: "Why does Lu Qishi think this is?" ”
Although the person who took over was a little wrong, Lu Chen still continued: "Because at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizongwen, who relied on military conquest to kill the name of [Tian Khan], learned the lessons of the previous dynasty, and cherished the people's strength and loved the people more than any emperor in the past. ”
He once said: The land is very peaceful, and human labor is the source of chaos, and we must not seek false fame and damage the people, otherwise it will be self-defeating, and this is the way to die. It is precisely because he is eloquent and strategic at the same time that he deeply investigates the people's situation and pays attention to the people's livelihood, and has been committed to letting the people live and work in peace and contentment during his reign, which has created the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty and achieved his supreme achievements as an emperor through the ages! ”
Lu Chen talked eloquently, and Fang Ping and many courtiers fell into deep thought.
This world is an ancient society with supernatural powers, and the existence of spiritual powers, spiritual methods, exercises, cultivators, demons, half-demons, and other things makes the history and culture of this world not like the ancient society without supernatural powers before Lu Chen traveled through.
Many ideas and ideas that are familiar to modern people living in a modern society with an explosion of information do not exist in this world, or are very vague.
The way of the sages is not the way of Confucius and Mencius.
The mainstream of thought in this world is also different from Confucianism.
After all, culture and thought are derived according to the social environment and humanistic cognition, and the thought and culture born from the world where supernatural forces exist naturally have their own characteristics.
The ancient dynasties of this world, in the fierce competition of ideas, gradually occupied the mainstream, which was inclined to the hegemony of the individual.
The supremacy of the king is absolute political correctness.
Therefore, hearing Lu Chen's analysis, some courtiers subconsciously thought about it.
"After the inexplicable collapse of Emperor Taizong, the descendants of later generations enjoyed wealth and luxury because they were born, and they could not empathize with the people, and they cut off contact with the people because of their self-esteem, so that they gradually lost control of the world, and finally after that earth-shattering change, they gradually died out in the continuous civil uprisings and riots that occurred in various places.
After saying so much, Lu Chen's throat was a little dry, he took out a water bag from his arms, opened it, and took a big sip of it, before he continued in Fang Ping's slightly urgent gaze:
Therefore, in Zaixia's view, whether the people live and work in peace and contentment is related to the rise and fall of the dynasty! Although the people of a county are not enough to stir up the world, but the so-called spark can start a prairie fire, who can guarantee that this momentum together will not form a monstrous wave that overturns the world? Who can guarantee that those who have a grudge against the imperial court do not have the talent and the power to open up the world? Hasn't that ever happened? ”
Speaking of this, Lu Chen suddenly looked at Xia Yan, and then inexplicably arched his hand to him, and said: "And Lord Xia Yan Xia didn't say that his so-called corruption perverted the law, and not a penny of the stolen money was used on himself, and it was all used by him to protect the people of Yongchuan when the demon queen was in chaos, whether it was a crime of greed for ink, just desperately to make the lives of the people of Yongchuan better, let them live and work in peace and contentment, and not become a mob and rise up to resist after being forced to a dead end, it is enough to call it a great achievement!" ”
"If such a person who is benevolent and righteous, loyal and virtuous, and has made great contributions to the country, if he is sentenced to death, what is the reason of heaven?"
Hearing this, Xia Yan's shoulders suddenly trembled uncontrollably, and his face was full of emotion.
However, Hu Yan sneered.
"Lu gives things, speaking of which, you still only have the people in your eyes, is it possible that in your eyes, the people are really more important than Your Majesty?"
As soon as these words came out, even Fang Ping's face completely turned cold.
Of course, he could see that Hu Yan was playing a trick on Lu Chen.
It's shameless!
He subconsciously wanted to open his mouth to stop it, lest Lu Chen was young and vigorous and said something irreparable.
However, Lu Chen was originally waiting for Hu Yan's words, and when he heard him say this, the light in his eyes was almost impossible to hide, how could he let Fang Ping disturb a good thing?
So without waiting for Fang Ping to speak, he snorted coldly and said:
"Do you need to ask? Of course, the people are more important than the king! ”
Hearing this, Fang Ping's face changed instantly, but Hu Yan was as if the conspiracy had succeeded, and a flash of ecstasy flashed in his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, as if he felt that he still had room for what he said, and was not decisive enough, Lu Chen said firmly:
"In the next view, the people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch... For light! ”
These words were like a depth charge exploding violently, and it instantly set off a wave of shock in everyone's hearts.
At the same time, a long shout suddenly sounded outside the door:
"Your Majesty has arrived!"
