Chapter 341: Confucianism
"Huh. ”
Zhang Jian snorted and laughed: "Are you having this idea because you were belittled by Najia Nidao before?"
"Exactly!"
Ye Lidun felt ashamed, bowed his head and replied: "When I was in the Guozi Prison before, I also felt that Jia Rudao was incompetent, so I wrote to the Holy Lord and tried to expose his crimes. It's a pity that Najia seems to be in power to the government and the opposition, not only did he not succeed, but he put the branches and leaves into it, and until now he is just a prisoner of the country. ”
"So that's the case?" Xiao Feng looked at Ye Li thoughtfully.
If there is such an experience, then it is natural for Ye Li to put forward this idea.
Ye Li hurriedly replied, "That's right. Moreover, Prime Minister Xiao is the prime minister, and he should also know that if the powerful ministers block the way of speech, convict because of their words, and prohibit others from discussing the program of the dynasty, it will eventually lead to traitorous ministers and wanton plundering of power. It is precisely for this reason that I feel that it is necessary to ensure the free deliberation of the scholars, and if this is the case, even if someone commits evil in the future, it can also be used to ensure that others do not become too rampant. Isn't it?"
"Is that so? If so, you really need to be careful. ”
Zhang Jian thought about it, when he was in the Song Dynasty, he also suffered from the fact that there was no way to appeal, so that treachery was rampant, and then he looked sideways at Xiao Feng and asked, "Prime Minister Xiao, I don't know if this is okay?"
"Naturally!"
Xiao Feng replied.
As a newly created dynasty, Xiao Feng naturally has to take various measures to prevent similar things from happening again, at least he must not let such traitors block the way of speech and harm the people.
The rest of the scholars were also envious when they saw that Ye Li was appreciated by Xiao Feng and Zhang Jian, just because he got such an appreciation for a sentence, he would definitely be able to soar in the future.
It's just that Xiao Feng looked at Ye Li and asked, "It's just that I'm curious, is this so-called free parliamentary power only available to scholars?
"This?"
Ye Li was taken aback for a moment, obviously not expecting this.
When those scholars, including Zhang Jian and the others, heard this, they were all stunned, and they couldn't figure out why Xiao Feng asked this question.
Ye Li was naturally stunned, he thought for a moment, and then said, "Prime Minister Xiao." You also know that those people are ignorant and ignorant, how do they know about the affairs of the court, if they are allowed to talk about the court unscrupulously, it will only cause chaos in the court, right?"
"And then, like that Fang La, rebelled?"
Xiao Feng didn't care, and didn't hide his disdain at all: "If you fall into such a situation, what will happen then?"
"This ......"
Ye Li felt even more nervous, and after he took a deep breath, he replied: "I thought that as long as the monarch and the minister intersect and the government communicates, these things can naturally be avoided. ”
"Again, these are the words. ”
When Xiao Feng heard this, he couldn't help but feel disappointed, he thought that the other party was a good talent, but now it seems that he is just a traditional scholar, if he talks about the core, he always talks about these nonsense, and he is not willing to delve into the root cause.
This Ye Li's ability is indeed outstanding, but unfortunately he has not broken through his existing limitations.
Xiao Feng waved his hand and said, "Forget it." Let's talk about the ancestral law first. He immediately took Wang Mu and left here, leaving only Zhang Jian, Ye Li and others here, and I couldn't figure out what she was angry about.
Ye Li saw Xiao Feng leaving, then turned his head to look at Zhang Jian and asked, "Chairman Zhang, did I say something wrong before?"
For that Xiao Feng, after all, he was still in awe, and he didn't dare to argue with the other party as he did with Jia Yidao.
"It's nothing, maybe I just think what you said is a little inappropriate!" Zhang Jian comforted.
Ye Li was even more worried, and asked, "Then I wonder if this will affect my next career?" Those who came here were all to be able to occupy a place in the parliament, and Ye Li naturally did the same, but he seemed to have made Xiao Feng angry before, so he was a little worried, whether this would make him unable to serve as a councilor.
For Ye Lee, wanting to become a parliamentarian is also his long-cherished wish.
Zhang Jian said with a smile: "Prime Minister Xiao has always been lenient to others, so he naturally won't take your offense to heart." And if you know that you work hard in the future, you can naturally turn the situation around and impress her. ”
"That's good. ”
Ye Li felt a little relieved, and immediately bowed to Zhang Jian, and said, "It's just that next, I also ask Chairman Zhang for advice." ”
"It's nature. ”
Zhang Jianlang laughed loudly and accepted Ye Li's worship.
He is also old now, his physical strength is naturally insufficient, and he naturally needs someone to help him do something, and now that this Ye Li has appeared, it is naturally a deep Zhang Jian's preference, and he immediately incorporated it into his lintel.
On the other side, Wang Mu saw Xiao Feng leaving, and immediately asked, "Lord, don't you care about that person?" That Zhu Chong naturally needless to say, she didn't have a good impression of Ye Li, she always felt that this person was too arrogant, full of a sense of self-righteousness, which made Wang Mu feel uncomfortable.
"Why bother?" Xiao Feng asked rhetorically.
Wang Mu was surprised, and said, "But didn't Ye Li say it? If he says so, what about the people of Li?"
As far as her life experience is concerned, it has little to do with the Nashi clan, if her father hadn't joined the Huaxia Army by luck, I'm afraid that she wouldn't have the opportunity to enter the Huaxia Women's College, and even be able to follow Xiao Feng, but what Ye Li said in his mouth was limited to the Shi clan, and he didn't have much concern for the ordinary Li people.
It was this that made Wang Mu particularly disgusted.
"Definitely. In this regard alone, that person does have this problem, but let me ask you, how many people are really willing to think about the people of the world?" Xiao Feng said at this time, suddenly sighed, and his face was also melancholy: "Even in this Huaxia army, maybe they did come to 'expel the Tatars and rejuvenate China', but are they really only here for this, and not for other thoughts?"
"I'm afraid it's not much. ”
Wang Muton was ashamed, because even she herself had the intention of raising her eyebrows, which was not very pure at all.
Even she herself, let alone others?
"That's right. Seldom. ”
Xiao Feng sighed, and that Wang Mu seemed to have something to say, but he was immediately gagged by Xiao Feng and said, "I know what you mean, but I just hope that the councilor is not only talented, but also able to compare with the ancient sages in terms of conduct." However, the reason why sages are sages is because they are few and far between. How many people have gone through history and whose conduct and talents are all in the city? There are only a few people! If you pin your hopes on the sages, you will be too foolish after all. ”
"Is that so?"
Wang Mu thought for a moment and began to ponder what Xiao Feng had done in the past.
Xiao Feng replied, "That's right. In this world, after all, there are still few sages, and there are many mediocre people. If the method of the sages is applied to the ignorant, how can it be useful?" Thinking of this, she was even more disgusted with Confucianism, but the world was ruled by Confucianism after all, and she still didn't dare to make much action against it, for fear of annoying those Confucian students.
Without the support of those Confucian scholars, her so-called dream of expelling Tatars and rejuvenating China would still be an illusory dream after all.
"That's true!"
Wang Mu also agrees with this matter, and as far as she has seen since entering the officialdom, this is indeed the case.
Those who sacrifice themselves for the people and serve the country wholeheartedly are still too few after all, and they basically become bureaucrats, and what they seek is not the superior status and the pleasures that far surpass ordinary people.
Xiao Feng said again: "That's right. You've also seen that if the emperor acts recklessly, what can those ministers say? It's just saying some grievances, virtuous words, sages and so on, and what else can they do?"
"Nope. ”
Wang Mu replied quite simply.
In fact, when she read the chronicles of the dynasties, she was quite puzzled by these loyal ministers, if the emperor was mediocre, she could have driven him down, and even if she couldn't keep up, then at least she should stand up and resist.
However, they can only passively bear it, and in the end they will either be exiled or commit suicide, which is really stupid.
"That's right. Neither can it reverse the decadent tendency of the dynasty, nor can it prevent the faint monarch and traitorous ministers from harming the people, except for getting a little clear name, what is there?" Xiao Feng thought about this, and felt even more annoyed, and scolded in a low voice: "I have to say, this Confucius is really harmful." ”
Since the creation of Confucianism, this Confucianism has not been reformed, such as Dong Zhongshu, Wang Yun, Han Yu, Liu Zongyuan and other great Confucianism stubble, it is in this Song Dynasty, but also the birth of such as Zhang Zai, Cheng Hao, Cheng Yi, Zhu Xi and other great Confucianism, and their students are all over the court, can be said to have a deep influence.
However, these great Confucians have always been stuck in morality, and have never jumped out of the limitations of personal conduct, looking at human history from a macroscopic perspective.
For this reason alone, it has to be said that Confucianism is really a failure.
When Wang Mu heard this, he was also quite emotional, and complained: "If it is according to what the lord said, wouldn't Confucianism be useless?"
"What do you think?"
Xiao Feng snorted coldly, and the words were even more sarcastic, thinking about what the great man she respected had said, she couldn't help but feel extremely emotional.
"Persuade the monarch to scold Qin Shi Huang less, and the cause of burning the pit should be discussed. Although the dragon is dead, Qin is still there, and Confucius's scientific name is Gao Shizhen. Hundreds of generations still practice Qin law and politics, and science is not a good article. Familiar with the Tang Dynasty's "Feudalism", Mo Congzi Hou returned to King Wen. ”
If this poem is concerned, Confucianism is indeed so!
