There was silence for a while.

Ji Heng seemed to think of something, slowly stood up straight, and waved towards Du He: "There are some things that still need to be explained, this time against the salt official and the iron official, it is not out of selfishness, nor out of revenge, but it is related to the majesty of the Shaofu, and it must be strict and cautious." ”

"It's hard to reconcile."

"The mouth of the people is more important than the Sichuan."

"The government's indifference for a few days, the bottom is full of fears and complaints, but when it comes to the final result, I can only pretend not to know."

"Now that local grievances are increasing day by day, in order to ensure that the final court is not affected, and even to win the hearts of the people, it is not possible to give any suspicion of tongue."

"The salt official and the iron official are indeed not responsible."

"But if they hold the official position of salt official and iron official, they are destined to become the target of public criticism."

"The court can't afford to lose a big one because of a small one."

"Just be dismissed, avoid the limelight a little, and wait for the situation to calm down in the future, and then be promoted as compensation."

"It doesn't hurt to be cautious."

"The imperial court can only appear as a helper this time, and it can't easily get into trouble."

Du He laughed loudly and said, "Although Mr. Zhong can rest assured, if I don't know your plan, I may have a whisper, but now that I have some understanding of the relevant situation, how can I not know the right and wrong?" And what Mr. Zhong said is not wrong, the salt official and the iron official are indeed derelict in their duties. ”

"There is nothing wrong with dismissal."

"Mr. Zhong can be bold."

"Thank you." Ji Heng arched his hand, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

After all, Du He is in charge of Shaofu, if he insists on protecting each other, I am afraid that he will not be able to take it.

Now that Duhe is relieved, he is also at ease.

Forthwith.

Ji Heng looked at Meng Yi, pondered for a moment, and said, "You have the ability to be a court captain, but you haven't shown it." ”

"Maybe you have doubts."

"But that's exactly what you are."

Side.

Zhang Cang's expression was slightly different.

He looked at Ji Heng and then at Meng Yi, as if he realized something, and nodded thoughtfully.

Fusu frowned slightly.

He didn't understand the meaning of Ji Heng's words.

Du He glanced at Meng Yi with a calm expression, and quickly withdrew his gaze, as if he didn't care about this matter.

Ji Heng got straight to the point and said: "After all, I 'offended' you, so I will say a few more words to you, you are indeed in the position of Tingwei, but you sat in the position of Tingwei, not because of your own ability, but because of your Montessori family background and your brother's prestige, which has nothing to do with you." ”

"The courtiers respect you, not you."

"It's the word 'Meng' that respects!"

Hear the words.

Meng Yi's face was gloomy.

But he just had a cold face and didn't argue anything.

Ji Heng said lightly: "You may be dissatisfied in your heart, or you may be unhappy. ”

"But that's the truth."

"You haven't proven your abilities to the world."

"Since you took charge of the Imperial Governor's Mansion, you have only been serving in a step-by-step manner."

"It is naturally right to be strict with oneself and enforce the law impartially."

"But isn't that the job of the Lieutenant? However, the Tingwei Mansion is in charge of the laws of the world, and you are only familiar with the laws and regulations, and you are familiar with the laws and regulations, but you lack nuanced insights and forward-looking awareness. ”

"It's actually deadly."

"This is extremely incompetent for the officials who administer the laws and regulations."

"It is also irresponsible to all the people of the world."

"The law allows lag, because the world is changing all the time, and there are always some unexpected situations happening, so it is normal for the law to have gaps and deficiencies, but as an official in charge of the law, you can't lose the ability to see the subtleties because of the lack of law."

"It is also the function of the Imperial Governor's Office to prevent the situation from happening before it becomes bad."

"And you're not showing the ability to do that."

"You're derelict in your duties!"

"Of course, you're not alone."

"It's the entire Tingwei Mansion."

"Over the years, the status of the Tingweifu has been continuously improved, but it has gradually become superficial, it has long lost its past progress, has lost its sense of responsibility, and has lost the idea of perfecting and supplementing the law, and has become mediocre and ordinary.

"But now"

"The officials of the Tingwei Mansion have become the law."

Meng Yi's face changed abruptly.

Ji Heng snorted coldly and said indifferently: "I'm not alarmist. ”

"This is the current situation of Great Qin."

"Great Qin established the country by law, and many officials are familiar with the law, and many officials in the Tingwei Mansion feel that they are the embodiment of the law, and they are the rules that govern the world.

"For this Huaixian shipwreck."

"If I hadn't proposed legislation, how many people in the Tingwei Mansion would have thought about legislation?"

Meng Yi's face froze.

He opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word.

No one.

At least he didn't hear it.

Ji Heng sneered: "I realize, the officials of the Tingwei Mansion, when something happens, their first reaction is not to correct it from the law, but to think about disposing of this matter as soon as possible and continue to maintain the already outdated law. ”

"I didn't even think about making a change."

"The Tingwei's Mansion is rotten."

"It's rotten from the roots."

"I have long forgotten the precept that Shang Ying's rule of the world is not the same, and the country is lawless."

"I once told the eldest prince that the collapse of the legal system of the Great Qin has been going on for a long time, and perhaps many people in the court thought that it was the four nobles of King Qin Zhao, and Lü Buwei and others who started, but the law is like a river, and the great drought or flood intuitively shows the increase or decrease of the amount of water, but the root must not be on the river."

"It's at the source."

"The source of the law is in the Tingwei Mansion!"

"The first crime of the collapse of the Great Qin legal system is in the Tingwei Mansion."

"If there is a problem at the source, no matter how much you can help, you are doomed to lack the skills."

"Now you know why you condemned the Imperial Captain's Mansion."

"The officials of the Tingwei Mansion are guilty."

"Deserve the punishment!"

"It should be questioned, it should be condemned!"

Ji Heng's eyes were cold, but no one argued.

Meng Yi was ashamed and annoyed.

Ji Heng's words can be said to have uncovered the fig leaf of the Tingwei Mansion in public, and completely exposed the corruption of the Tingwei Mansion, which was so straightforward and bloody.

He was also a little overwhelmed for a while.

There was a dead silence all around.

Fusu, Zhang Cang and others squeaked.

All of them were solemn.

"The source of the chaos is in the Tingwei Mansion?" Zhang Cang chewed a few times in his heart, this point of view was still very novel, but he recognized it.

Because when you think about it, that's exactly what it is.

The officials of the Tingwei Mansion have been a little inward-looking over the years, and they have become more and more dogmatic, Qin's laws, from the Qin State to the Qin Dynasty, the laws and regulations have indeed changed, but the change is not large.

But the world has changed.

It is a grave dereliction of duty for the law to fail to keep up with the times.

It's not even a dereliction of duty.

It's dereliction of duty.

Looking at Meng Yi's sweaty head, Ji Heng shook his head lightly and said: "Now the officials of the Tingwei Mansion regard themselves as the embodiment of the law, completely detached from reality, and do not consider reality at all, let alone change, and it is natural for the world to regard Qin as a tyrannical Qin. ”

"Because the officials of Great Qin have no humanity when they study law."

"They see themselves as the embodiment of fairness and integrity, and they are even more hysterical about upholding the so-called law, because it is their deplorable dignity and face."

"It's right to uphold the law."

"But the law that is upheld should be the law that leads the world to good."

"It is not a law that prevents the world from doing good."

"If, for the sake of so-called legal justice, the original purpose of the law is disregarded, is it not putting the cart before the horse? Isn't this an official forcing the people to rebel? ”

"The injustice of the law leads to the anger of the mob."

"Because the people have grievances!"

Ji Heng Shi Ran sat back in his position, supported his chin with one hand, and continued: "Now the officials in the court think that the bottom does not think about the court, but the bottom thinks that the government is unkind and unfair. ”

"Is this the incompetence of the top, or the ignorance of the bottom?"

"Both make sense, and neither makes sense."

"Because the foothold is different."

"Based on the people."

"******, the lowly are the wisest."

"Based on the government and the opposition."

"Those in power are the smartest, and those who are lowly are the most stupid."

"But throughout the ages, if you want long-term peace and stability, you often have to base yourself on the people."

"The more you are detached from grassroots practice, the more stupid you are, because you don't know what the people need, you don't know what the people are anxious about, and the more grassroots practice does, the smarter you tend to become, and the smartness and stupidity in this is not the so-called intelligence, but the most simple ability to do things."

"Whether it's Meng Yi or the eldest son."

"You are very different in my eyes, because your knowledge structure is similar, your life background is similar, so you are destined to think about things from roughly the same angle, so it is difficult to correct each other."

"Isn't this a blessing for the country?"

"Meng Yi, your talent should not rot in the Tingwei Mansion, but when you go to the place to take a walk, when you understand the actual situation in the place, when you come back from the place, the position of the Tingwei Mansion still belongs to you, and at that time, you can really grow into the pillar of the country, and you can completely get rid of your brother's influence on you."

"Wait until then."

"You're really qualified to be a court lieutenant."

"The prime minister must start from the state department, and the fierce general must be sent from the army."

"This is the way you're going."

"Now you don't have the ability to become a courtier, there are too many officials like you in the court, and they can't make up for each other, what's the use of having more Meng Yi? It's just a bunch of mediocre people in high positions. ”

Ji Heng shook his head.

He's already guilty of Meng Yi anyway.

It's rare to pretend and stab Meng Yi directly with a stick to the end and get Meng Yi to the place.

has no grassroots experience, has not dealt with the bottom, Meng Yi's talent is completely rootless, and he can't play it at all.

Meng Yi's face changed.

Ultimately.

He respectfully saluted Ji Heng and arched his hand: "Thank you Mr. Zhong for your guidance, Meng Yi has been taught, and Meng Yi's position as a court lieutenant is indeed not worthy of his name." ”

"I would like to follow Mr. Zhong's advice."

Ji Heng nodded.

He retracted his gaze, his gaze calmly swept around, and when he swept towards Zhang Cang, Zhang Cang's face was happy, and he seemed to be very excited, as if he wanted to listen to Ji Heng's advice to him.

However, Ji Heng swept it directly.
