Chapter 258: Why did the prince rebel?
After the guards went down, the prince thought about Jia Huan's routine against him again, and his face showed a thoughtful expression.
Next, the prince hurried to the front of the Jinluan Palace and ordered the eunuch on duty to pass the ceremony.
At this time, at the court meeting, it was noisy and lively.
Because of the prince's last performance, the conservatives who had originally died down were resurrected again.
They were aggressive and forced the emperor to take back his order.
This court meeting is a battlefield for these conservatives.
And the reformers, who are so few in number, are far from being the opponents of the conservatives.
Under the attack of the conservatives, they retreated one after another, and they were powerless to fight back.
At this time, the eunuch on duty was a general gift, saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked to see him.
Hearing the prince's request to see him only further boosted the prestige of the conservatives.
The prince was originally the banner of their charge, and now that the prince is here, their demands are becoming more and more appropriate.
What they didn't notice was that at this time, Emperor Chongkang's face also showed a thoughtful look.
Emperor Chongkang quietly ordered: "Prince Xuan is here." ”
The eunuch on duty suddenly shouted: "Prince Xuan is here." ”
After a short time, the crown prince walked into the Jinluan Hall and first saluted Emperor Chongkang and said, "The son of the emperor to see his father." ”
Emperor Chongkang nodded and said, "The prince is flat." ”
At this time, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty in the Jinluan Hall bowed to the prince and said: "The ministers have seen His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
The prince smiled and saluted back: "You are all my ministers of the Great Xia humerus, so you don't need to be polite." ”
At this time, more than ninety percent of the ministers in the palace bowed to the prince again: "Please ask the prince to uphold justice for us and speak up." ”
Hearing this, on the dragon chair, Chongkangdi's pupils shrank slightly, and his eyes were murderous.
At this time, the prince has also woken up and is no longer the original puppet.
He secretly sneered in his heart at this time: he had never discovered that these ministers were so vicious.
In order to stop the new law, they did not hesitate to bring themselves out of the ring with their father, so that they could go toe-to-toe with their father.
If this continues, not only will the gap between father and son become bigger and bigger, but even his position as the crown prince will not be guaranteed.
The abolished prince of the previous generation may have been abolished for such reasons.
These civil servants are full of benevolence and morality, but for their own selfish interests, their stomachs are extremely vicious.
Thinking of this, the prince couldn't help but ask: "This palace listens to your words, you all obey the orders of this palace, and this palace can represent you with full powers, right?" ”
Hearing the prince's words, the ninety percent of the officials became more and more happy, and they hurriedly said: "The ministers are willing to obey the prince's orders." ”
The crown prince nodded and said, "In that case, the palace will speak for you today." ”
After that, the crown prince straightened up and bowed to Emperor Chongkang: "Father, the son believes that there is no way to save Great Xia without change. The son of the emperor implores his father to implement the change as soon as possible, and the son is willing to be the pawn of the father and the emperor! ”
Hearing the prince's words, Emperor Chongkang looked at the prince with a shocked face.
At this time, Emperor Chongkang found that after just a few days, the prince was much darker, his clothes were not clean, and his face was full of exhaustion.
However, at this moment, there are some inexplicable changes in the prince.
This made Chong Kangdi very happy, this must be Jia Huan's plan worked, so that the prince recognized the faces of those Wenchen, and thus changed dramatically.
The prince's words shocked the ninety percent of the ministers to the point of no return.
They tried every means to get the crown prince to play against the change, that is, to push the prince to the front and fight the emperor in the ring.
The crown prince is their banner, and it is where their confidence lies in confronting the emperor and the emperor.
But now, to their surprise, the prince actually rebelled?
They really wanted to ask aloud: Why did the prince rebel?
This made ninety percent of the ministers beat their chests and feel depressed.
They couldn't help but ask, "Why did the prince say this?" ”
"Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince remember what he said earlier?"
"I can't promote change in Great Xia, Your Royal Highness the Prince!"
Looking at a group of distressed ministers, the crown prince had a sneering look on his face, and he couldn't help asking, "What?" Didn't you still agree with me speaking on your behalf? Why don't you agree with it now? ”
At this time, Qionghua stood up as the prince's teacher.
He said bitterly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, have you forgotten the teachings of the old minister? The Son of Heaven ruled with a bow, and the scholar guarded the side on behalf of the Son of Heaven. ”
"The scholars enlightened the people, so that the people would be grateful for the grace of the Holy Lord! This is a good policy for governing the country that has been handed down by the ancient sages, how can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince disobey it at will? ”
Qionghua's words made Chongkangdi's heart tighten. Qionghua's remarks, putting aside the facts, are really a good policy for governing the country. The emperor was so bewitched by him before, and at this time, Emperor Chongkang was really afraid that the prince would repeat the mistakes of the past.
I saw that the prince smiled slightly after listening to Qionghua's words, and then asked:
"Master Qiong, this palace wants to ask you a question, you always say that scholars educate the people and educate the people, I want to know, how do they educate? How did the people remember the Holy Grace? ”
Hearing this question, Qiong Hua made up her mind.
He immediately replied without hesitation: "The way is to govern, all to be punished, and the people are free and shameless; The way is virtuous, all are courteous, shameful and qualified. ”
"If morality and etiquette are used to restrain and influence the people, so that the people can be educated from the depths of their hearts, then there is no need to use government decrees and punishments to make the people obey and the world will be governed."
It's this false empty word again!
The prince knew in his heart that if he continued to theorize, he would inevitably be entangled, and he was afraid that he would not be the opponent of Master Qiong.
After all, they have devoted their lives to studying these knowledge. There is a specialization in the art industry, and it is impossible to win by attacking the enemy's strengths with its own shortcomings.
Thinking of this, the prince decided to learn Jia Huan's strategy and give Qionghua a set first.
The prince couldn't help asking, "Since Master Joan said so, he must be leading by example." Bachelor Qiong treats his own tenants, and naturally treats politics and morality! ”
"I will treat those tenants well, collect less rent from them, educate them, and make them grateful to my Great Xia court. May I ask Miss Joan, is that so? ”
Hearing this question, Qionghua was inexplicably surprised.
Benevolence and morality are only their tools, and they are also weapons for them to debate and attack foreign enemies.
If you say this, just shout it.
Renter? That's just a bunch of untouchables, treat them well? Educate them? Charge them less rent? It's just too much to think about.
As a bachelor of Hanlin, Qionghua basically has no chance to be greedy for ink.
After all, Hanlin Yuan is a noble place, and noble means poor.
The three words of poor Hanlin are not just words.
If they collect less rent, won't their whole family have to drink the northwest wind?
However, such things can only be done and not said.
Even if you do, you can't admit it.
