Zou Yuanbiao knew what the climate was like in Myanmar. He knew that miasma was rampant there and humans and animals lived together, and that there would only be a narrow escape from death. It was completely different from being able to talk without fear of wind and snow in the court hall of the capital.
"Your Majesty! I have little talent and little knowledge, and I am inconsistent with my appearance. I am really a villain, so it is difficult for me to take up this position. I ask your Majesty to choose someone else who is worthy."
Zou Yuanbiao therefore bowed to the ground.
"It is precisely because you are not very knowledgeable and have low moral standards that I sent you there;"
"I cannot belittle the internal because of the external. Therefore, to teach the people of this country morally, they must be good scholars with high moral character and talents. The outstanding ones among them can even be directly promoted to become the emperor's master;"
"And for Han people like you, you are just qualified to educate barbarians. What do those barbarians know about etiquette and music? They are cruel and easy to kill, and have no human ethics!"
After Zhu Yijun said this, Zou Yuanbiao's body began to tremble.
"So, in front of these barbarians, if you compare with them, you are a gentleman, a person with virtue and talent! They cannot compare with you, so it is just right for a Han like you to teach them."
"I recently introduced a Western barbarian named Matteo Ricci into the palace and asked them how the Western barbarians established a foothold in the newly opened land. He said that they did not rely entirely on force and virtue, but often turned to the left. With culture and education, they even built schools and opened medical clinics to help the poor. First, they allowed the local people to accept them, and also did some disaster relief work on behalf of the local bureaucrats and chiefs. In addition, the authorities were also frightened by their force, and then This will give them a chance to gain a foothold locally!”
"This technique can be a good strategy!"
"We, the Chinese, should do the same in our foreign aggression. We hold fire cannons and cannons in one hand, and scriptures and medicinal materials in the other. Now Liu Wei and Li Rusong are bringing fire cannons and cannons. Now you, Zou Yuanbiao, have to bring scriptures and medicinal materials. I will give you some A medical officer who is accompanying you and has the heart to save the world will also give you some Cinchona Cream developed by Concubine Yang. Remember, you must spread my benevolence."
After Zhu Yijun said with a smile, he looked at Zou Yuanbiao.
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
Shen Shixing and others all flattered him and looked at Zou Yuanbiao.
In full view of everyone, Zou Yuanbiao had no choice but to kowtow to Long En, and because he thought about Zhu Yijun's words, if he were to be a minister in the future, he would know how comfortable it would be to be a minister today, so he solemnly said:
"Your Majesty's words have opened the door for me. I ask your Majesty to rest assured that I will do my best to make Burma people respect Confucianism and courtesy, and for this I will not hesitate to die in a foreign country!"
"very good!"
"Do you have a disciple named Luo Yuren?"
Zhu Yijun suddenly asked Zou Yuanbiao.
Zou Yuanbiao replied: "Yes!"
Zhu Yijun asked again: "Have you prepared a confession letter for him and asked him to hand it over, if the court really wants to punish you with death?"
"yes!"
"But he didn't hand it over."
Zou Yuanbiao replied.
At this time, academicians Pan Cheng and Liu Yingjie were both shocked after hearing this, and then they couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.
"He is also a person who has been too deeply poisoned by the old rituals and has become a hypocrite!"
Zhu Yijun also sighed and said: "It was decreed that he should go too. On the grounds that he was a good protector of the teacher's integrity and that all the courtiers in the world were too late to submit memorials, he was appointed as the chief official of Honglu Temple and went to Burma to assist. Your mentor promotes Confucianism and my benevolence!"
"In addition, if you give him my oral instructions, I will say that the culture of the Holy Dynasty should be a strong culture, and the people of the Holy Dynasty should be strong people. If you want to have a prominent official career, you should strive for it yourself and overcome the thorns, instead of stepping on the corpse of your mentor. Go ahead and wait and ask for it! Just like Dingyuan Hou, he would rather abandon his pen and join the army to make fun of his achievements in the world than sit in the sutra room and wait for others to recommend him."
"I obey the decree!"
Zou Yuanbiao bowed his head and bowed.
"Everyone, please stand down. This is the end of today's platform summons!"
"Everyone should clarify public and private matters and be clear about their conscience."
After Zhu Yijun said that, he stood up and left Yuntai Gate.
"I will bear in mind His Majesty's Holy Instructions and send you your Majesty's greetings!"
Shen Shixing and others bowed their heads and replied.
Shortly after Zhu Yijun left, Zou Yuanbiao dragged his shackles and left the palace with the imperial edict and official documents prepared for him by Shi Yusi Geng.
nowadays.
The sky is clear and cloudless, and the color as blue as the sea spreads from the top of the Zhuque White Stone into the distance, as if there is no end.
And he, Zou Yuanbiao, will also go far away. Although he is not willing to do so, he must go against the emperor's will. For him, this may be a way of death or a way of life.
Perhaps this is also the national condition of China. If we want Confucian scholars to go out and revive the strong culture of the Han and Tang Dynasties, where a single scholar could open up frontiers and destroy the country for the country, we need the emperor to use his royal orders to achieve it, and rely on the scholar-bureaucrats who are becoming more and more ruthless inside and outside. It is impossible to be consciously strong.
"Erzhan!"
As soon as Zou Yuanbiao left the palace gate, Yu Shenxing, Li Sancai and other civil servants who had been waiting outside the palace gate immediately came to greet him, and Yu Shenxing called Zou Yuanbiao first.
"Enfu!"
Luo Yuren also followed and glanced at Zou Yuanbiao with an uneasy expression.
Zou Yuanbiao did not pay attention to Luo Yuren first, but bowed his hands to Yu Shenxing and others and saluted: "I'm sorry for your concern!"
"You remonstrated with Long Yan, but in the end you were not martyred by the wrath of thunder, but got the opportunity to be summoned by the platform. Your Majesty's move can be said to be a good story in politics throughout history!"
"You must know that only ministers have always had the opportunity to be summoned to discuss political affairs. Now, direct ministers also have this honor. Your Majesty's benevolence is as great as that of all the saints of the past. We actually misunderstood you in the past!"
At this time, Yu Shenxing said a few words sincerely, smiled brightly, and bowed his hands to the north.
"yes!"
"Your Majesty is benevolent, saintly and wise. I think it was all because of power and treachery that he only wanted to establish his prestige. Now that the holy will has been seen, he should understand the right and wrong of loyalty and treachery."
Yu Maoxue also followed up and said: "In the past, I was lucky enough to be interviewed once because I admonished Taiyue for being too strict in the exam. Your Majesty was still young at that time, but he was considerate of his ministers and did not punish me severely. But later on, reforms became more and more important. As the disputes became more and more fierce, the monarchs and ministers inevitably began to speculate on each other, so Yang Sizhi was exposed to the disaster of the Yi clan, and the flatterers took the opportunity to favor him."
"But I think your Majesty is not inclined to kill people, nor does he just obey the orders of powerful ministers. It's just that it is often difficult to distinguish between good and evil. Your Majesty may not be able to just talk to ministers and not be close to the ministers, but he definitely has the intention to promote benevolent government. of."
As Yu Maoxue spoke, he also cupped his hands towards the north and said: "Now the ice is about to break, all we have to do is wait for the ship of benevolent government to set sail!"
At this time, Li Sancai asked Zou Yuanbiao in a deep voice: "Did you really get the order to forgive the gentry for bribing the gentry after being summoned by the platform?"
"To be honest, gentlemen, I failed to convince your majesty. It was your majesty who shook my Taoist heart!"
"There is indeed something wrong with the etiquette we abide by!"
"Otherwise, I should not be welcomed by everyone today, and I would not have the face to see you!"
After Zou Yuanbiao answered like this, Li Sancai became speechless on the spot.
Yu Maoxue was also confused.
If Yu Shenxing realized something, he raised his hands and said to Zou Yuanbiao: "I would like to hear the details."
"According to the etiquette, there are no bad kings and fathers in the world. I criticize the king and father. If the princes are loyal and loyal ministers, shouldn't they criticize me? Why do they come to welcome me, a person who has no king and no father?"
"Unless you are loyal not to etiquette, but like Mr. Gangfeng, you are loyal to your majesty's country, and to the Han family!"
After Zou Yuanbiao said this, he directly questioned Yu Shenxing and other civil officials.
