"That's not true."
"Although Zeng Que'an can act cheaply, the people he killed and the crimes he ordered must be reviewed by Dali Temple. Both the Criminal Division and the Censor have the right to revoke the document and investigate. Once he has violated the law, , the official can be impeached!"
"The same goes for factory guards. Every time they go out, they always have a driver's license in hand. Even if they have to kill someone in self-defense, they still have to go back to the Criminal Division to replenish their driving license, and the Criminal Division will confirm it."
"As for criticizing, you can't criticize? It's even more of a joke!"
"Although it is the system of this dynasty that scholars are not allowed to discuss political affairs, it is still difficult to prohibit scholars from discussing political affairs, and it is also impossible to clarify whether they are discussing current affairs or criticizing them;"
"But no matter what, since ordinary people can hear that something is wrong and choose to report it, then there must be something very wrong with what he said!"
"The people are the most valuable, the country is the second most important, and the king is the least important. Since even the common people cannot accept it, is this statement still in line with justice and humanity?"
After Pan Cheng said this, he looked at Wang Xijue and questioned Wang Xijue.
Wang Xijue did not refute, but only asked Shen Shixing, Pan Cheng and other cabinet ministers: "What do you plan to do with the scholars who were arrested for criticizing the New Deal and the Grand Master?"
"If you just criticize the New Deal, we naturally don't want His Majesty to punish him criminally, but we will deal with him in other ways!"
"Why do you need to worry, sir!"
"Although we are denounced as traitors by many scholars in the world, we are also scholar-officials. How can we really want to destroy Sven and make the New Deal really turn into a tyranny?"
"But as long as they don't agree with the Taishi's philosophy, we will not let them become officials. This is not a personal grudge, it is all for public benefit!"
Yu Youding asked Wang Xijue as he spoke.
Pan Cheng nodded in agreement and said: "That's right! Officials in this dynasty can only have one philosophy of governing the country. Those who do not agree with the New Deal cannot become officials to avoid confusion with different opinions!"
After Wang Xijue heard this, he sighed and said: "According to this, we can really only wait until the people of the world stop criticizing the Grand Master and the new policy, and are willing to give the Grand Master a fair opinion, then the world can be harmonious!"
Shen Shixing nodded at this time and said with a smile: "That's exactly the truth!"
"I would like to advise those people again, don't just care about their own selfish desires, but also think about whether others have selfish desires? Think about the common people of the country."
"If you really want to pay attention to the three taboos, then because the grand master is the emperor's teacher, the grand master must have the three taboos anyway. Otherwise, we people can only teach the Dharma but not the etiquette."
Wang Xijue hurriedly explained it clearly, and then stood up to leave.
…
"How can ordinary people represent the people of the world?!"
After Wang Xijue brought a message to Gu Xiancheng and others, Li Zhi asked angrily.
Wang Xijue laughed and asked, "Are there any common people in the world?"
"If there is, then the common people can represent part of the world."
"You can't ignore them just because you haven't had much contact with them in life. At least there are many ordinary people in the history of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang who can make great changes in the world."
"But they are not polite people!"
"Now that the Duke and Zeng Que'an are using these people to monitor the scholars, they are obviously abandoning etiquette and messing up their dignity!"
Gu Xiancheng started talking and asked Wang Xijue: "Does Gong really agree with this way of governing?"
Wang Xijue lowered his face and asked Gu Xiancheng: "If you can treat the Grand Master fairly and tell the three taboos, will you let them use the power of the common people?!"
Gu Xiancheng just laughed.
At this time, Li Sancai turned his hand to Wang Xijue and asked: "Isn't the public consultation of the world the most just view?"
"From the time when he was unruly in Jiangling and suppressed the public opinion in the world, it has been difficult for the public opinion of the world to associate him with a virtuous minister. Even if I speak for him without conscience, it will be difficult for him to go against the public opinion of the world."
Li Sancai added.
The attitude remains tough.
"Looks like there's still nothing to talk about."
Wang Xijue shook his head.
…
"I knew this would be the result!"
"Either when the world is in chaos, or when a large-scale slave rebellion occurs, they will know that we don't care about the Grand Master's violation of etiquette, and we even hesitate to establish new etiquette, not just because we have now become the Grand Master's party!"
"Only then will we know that even if we are not the Grand Master's party, we are working for the long-term peace and stability of the entire world, and in order to prevent the world from falling into chaos in the future, we will not let a pillar of the country who does not hesitate to offend the world's right-wingers for the sake of the country be simply defeated. Beat him as a traitor!"
"Who really wants to see the Grand Master once wielding power in the government?"
"Isn't this the result of our helpless choice! When the young master is in doubt, if not, Feng Bao will only become more arrogant! Even his relatives will become more arrogant!"
After Pan Cheng learned the opinions of Li Sancai, Gu Xiancheng and others from Wang Xijue again, he smiled coldly and continued to speak out for Zhang Juzheng.
Yu Youding looked at the portraits of Zhang Juzheng, Gao Gong and Zhao Zhenji in the pavilion with a slightly disappointed look and said: "If you want to abolish the old and establish the new, you can't do it without going through labor pains."
Wang Xijue looked at Shen Shixing: "Mr. Shen, can you give me some advice?"
Shen Shixing smiled slightly and looked at Pan Chengdao: "Si Ming doesn't have to worry too much about them! But after all, the world still belongs to young officials like them."
As Shen Shixing spoke, he looked at Wang Xijue again: "So, let us try our best to correct the younger generations if we can."
Wang Xijue nodded, stood up, raised his hands to Shen Shixing and other cabinet ministers, and said: "Please try your best to persuade your majesty not to criticize Wu, Zhao and other scholar-bureaucrats with the punishment of Dapi again!"
"Thunder, rain, and dew are all for your kindness!"
Shen Shixing replied calmly.
…
The next day, Zhu Yijun, who was resting in the Queen's Palace, finished washing and changing clothes, then went out of Kunning Gate and stood for a while next to an old tree in the back garden by the water.
Nowadays, the spring rain is gentle, swallows are flying sideways, and new green is growing wantonly on the old trees.
After Zhu Yijun looked at the old tree full of new buds under the blue sky for a while, he walked forward on the wet gravel path. He didn't even take the chariot, and only asked an eunuch to hold an umbrella for him.
Zhang Jing was waiting on the side and reported in a low voice that a large number of scholars had been captured.
Zhu Yijun just listened quietly and said nothing.
He was not surprised that the scholars who were dissatisfied with the arrest of Wu Zhongxing and others chose to collude with the thieves and prevent other scholars from taking the exam.
Because Zhu Yijun knew very well that the greater the efforts to defend the New Deal, the more those who oppose the New Deal would dare to bully ordinary people.
Not long after, Zhu Yijun arrived at the Political Affairs Hall.
When several whips sounded, Zhang Siwei, Shen Shixing, Liang Menglong and other officials in power came out of the political hall and knelt down to greet him.
After Zhu Yijun called out, he entered the room and sat down on the main seat. He made a fist with his left hand and propped it on his leg. With his right hand, he twirled his thick and slightly upturned beard and said:
"First discuss the joint memorial sent by Zhang Jiayin, the governor of Ji Liao, Fu Li Song of Liaodong, and Li Chengliang, the uncle of Ningyuan, to annihilate the forces of Atai, the son of the rebel chieftain Gao. How did the Privy Council discuss it?"
Liang Menglong stood up and reported: "Your Majesty, the Privy Council believes that this battle should be fought. Atai has always wanted to avenge his father, refused to surrender to this court, and repeatedly harassed the border people. It should be eliminated as soon as possible to avoid future troubles!"
"After all, Jianzhou Youwei was once a territory of the Ming Dynasty in name, so it is appropriate to punish Atai according to the law! If you can capture him alive, try to capture him alive. If you can't capture him alive, you must not massacre the city. You should recruit low-level barbarians to prepare for the next conquest of Burma! "
"The Toungoo Kingdom of Burma is very aggressive and has the intention of annexing Yunnan. A war will inevitably happen in the future. Therefore, if we can use up the barbarians in the battle formation, we should do our best to use them up in the battle formation instead of simply massacring them all."
"Send my message to Zhang Jiayin, Li Song, and Li Chengliang in the name of the Privy Council!"
Zhu Yijun said at this time.
