Boom!
Boom!
While Zhu Yijun decreed that Zhou Honglun's son should also be killed, the Dengwen drum was still beating, beaten by Zhou Peicheng's old servant.
Zhou Peicheng himself was kneeling in the white snow, looking proudly at the Forbidden City under the snowy curtain in front of him.
Yu Shenxing, Zhao Nanxing and other civil servants also gathered here after hearing the news and looked at Zhou Peicheng.
"What a commendable act of filial piety!"
"Will the Emperor be merciful because of this?"
"The Zhou family, father and son, are both gentlemen!"
Yu Shenxing, Zhao Nanxing and other civil servants also admired him for this.
Zhou Peicheng also straightened his chest more and more.
But at this moment, Jin Yiwei Zhang Jingxiu and others appeared here.
The drumming also stopped at this time.
The entire Liuli World fell silent instantly.
At this moment, Zhang Jingxiu announced his decree to execute Zhou Peicheng.
Zhou Peicheng and the civil servants present were all shocked when they heard this.
"How could this be?"
Zhao Nanxing couldn't help but murmured something at this time, then stopped in front of Zhang Jingxiu, looked at Zhang Jingxiu and said, "Does your Majesty have no intention of showing kindness?"
Zhang Jingxiu ignored him and had Zhou Peicheng taken away.
"The new etiquette not only emphasizes benevolence, but also respect. The Zhou family and his son deceived the emperor to gain fame, and not killing him is not enough to understand the king's law!"
Not long after, Yu Shenxing, Zhao Nanxing and other civil servants came to Shen Shixing and asked why they wanted to kill Zhou's father and son, and even Zhou Honglun's son. Shen Shixing also explained to Yu Shenxing and others. By the way, it can be regarded as expressing one's attitude.
"My subordinate has something to say, please Yuan Fu to report it!"
"Zhou Tong's sentence is just to advise His Majesty to use money sparingly and to think more about frivolous corvee and small taxes, so as to benefit the long-term stability of the country. Why is this?"
After Zhao Nanxing heard what Shen Shixing said, he asked Shen Shixing first.
Shen Shixing looked at Zhao Nanxing and asked: "The poor cannot burden the rich, and the people cannot burden the officials. But is this the same old theory?"
Zhao Nanxing was stunned for a moment, then said yes with enthusiasm.
"Then I can tire you?"
Shen Shixing asked.
"According to the secret report, you, Mr. Zhao, are building a fragrant garden in your hometown, which has caused disputes between neighbors. Why don't you save this money to prepare for the disaster years in the future to help the people? You are building a lot of construction projects. This gentleman believes in thrift?"
"Now it's because the people of the world don't let Your Majesty control their own funds."
"What's the point of this?!"
After Shen Shixing asked, he asked Zhao Nanxing again.
Historically, Zhao Nanxing did build a Fangru Garden at home, and his work "Fangru Garden Lefu" has been handed down to the world.
Now Shen Shixing asked him this, and he didn't know what to answer for a moment. He just suppressed his face and turned red. After a while, he had to argue:
"But your Majesty is the lord of the world after all. It is the virtue of a benevolent lord to accept advice with an open mind. How can you decide your own path? Otherwise, how could you lead to Yao and Shun?"
"Isn't your Majesty no longer comparable to the kings of Yao and Shun?"
Shen Shixing suddenly asked in a deep voice, and then added: "In the eyes of your minister, Zhao Bulang, your majesty is not considered a benevolent sage who surpassed Yao and Shun?"
Zhao Nanxing did not answer.
Shen Shixing looked at other civil servants: "Do you think so too?"
"If you all feel that Your Majesty still needs to strengthen his holy virtues before he can succeed Yao and Shun."
"The servant will follow the public discussion and bring you into the palace to see your majesty. Please forgive the Zhou family and his son for not accepting the objectionable words, and continue to do the things of Yao and Shun. First of all, strengthen the etiquette and restraint, build private gardens, and raise too many slaves and maids. Punish the powerful officials and gentry to promote frugality;"
"Secondly, the profits from the acquisition and subscription are publicly owned and are no longer allowed to be purchased by private individuals. Moreover, the sold subscription coupons will no longer be distributed as dividends. All the mining profits should be used for light corvee and small taxes to benefit the people of the world!"
"After all, Your Majesty has not allowed the country to achieve three generations of rule, so he cannot give you the imperial grace to enjoy the prosperous age!"
"Therefore, we can't just use internal funds to benefit people's livelihood, but also the world's wealth must be used sparingly. This is what a sincere sage should do!"
"The whole world is not the land of the king, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers. The emperor is naturally the master of the world, and the products of the world naturally belong to the emperor. And now, since we still want to make the emperor truly Yao and Shun, we should admonish the emperor to make the emperor the emperor. The products are used for the common good of the world."
When Shen Shixing said this, he said: "Let's talk about it. If there is no objection, I will enter the palace with you all to let your majesty know that in the eyes of the ministers, the country has not yet reached the rule of three generations."
"I agree with Yuan Fu's theory!"
"Since your Majesty came to the throne, the seas, rivers and rivers have been clear, and the people and the country have been prosperous, far exceeding the rule of the three generations. Although Yao and Shun were saints, they are no longer as good as our emperor!"
"Therefore, people like Zhou Honglun only want to gain fame and reputation, but they want to destroy the emperor's holy name!"
"As a loyal minister and a gentleman, you should wish you could eat his flesh and sleep on his skin. How can you still regard him as a gentleman and think that his words can help you become more virtuous?"
Shi Xing hurriedly stood up and expressed his opinion. Then he looked at Zhao Nanxing and said sarcastically:
"Mr. Zhao, you can't just allow yourself to use your salary to carry out large-scale construction projects, but you can't allow your majesty to use your own money to protect the filial piety of the Holy Mother and the royal family of Dunlun!"
"I'm not against it, I just think it's too harsh to kill Zhou and his son!"
Zhao Nanxing said.
Shi Xing looked at Zhao Nanxing and said, "What kind of harshness is this?!"
"It is unreasonable to accuse your father. You have no way of being a minister. You intend to damage your majesty's sanctity. It would not be an exaggeration to destroy the nine tribes. Fortunately, the emperor is kind and only gives death penalty!"
"Therefore, the Duke should praise the emperor for being far more benevolent than Yao and Shun. How could he be so indifferent to right from wrong? This is extremely confusing!"
"It's no wonder that the public only talks about being frugal, but he builds a lot of construction projects in his hometown and privately builds gardens; he talks about valuing profits over justice, but he refuses to give up his money to help the country and the people when the subscription tickets are on sale; a sanctimonious person, nothing more than that !”
After being trolled by Shi Xing, a professional troll who made his fortune by trolling Long Qing and Zhang Juzheng, Zhao Nanxing's face turned purple and he didn't know how to refute.
Yu Shenxing also said at this time:
"As Yuan Fu said, there is no bad king and father in the world. What's more, since your Majesty came to the throne, the world has been in great rule, and it is no longer comparable to Yao and Shun. He is indeed a holy king who has never been seen in the ages!"
"So, I really don't know where to put my advice, unless I really want to deceive you directly;"
"Moreover, when looking at the virtues of today's scholar-bureaucrats through the Grand Ceremony, many of them are sanctimonious, seeking fame and reputation, and even go so far in pursuing luxury and wealth that they even spend tens of thousands of dollars on a prostitute!"
"Today's scholar-bureaucrats turn a blind eye to the corruption of their own moral conduct, but they are critical of the sage. They do not know that they are not qualified to criticize the sage, nor are they qualified enough to make the sage willing to believe the words of loyalty to the emperor, but more importantly, the words of seeking fame and reputation;"
"What Zhou Tongbian said is even more excessive! Internal funds are used by the emperor to reward virtuous people, and are not used to benefit the people. Benefiting the people has its own state funds. How can we accuse the emperor of using internal funds unscrupulously? The principles of the people?”
"You are really deliberately trying to coerce the world and make things difficult for your father!"
"Because if your father misappropriates national funds for internal use, you may be advised to think about frugality. But today, Your Majesty is a sage and wise ruler and has not misappropriated national funds. How can you say that your father does not know how to be thrifty and benefit the people?" ?”
"So, the Zhou family and his son are really trying to gain fame and reputation and deceive the emperor with their straightforwardness. It would be a pity to die!"
Yu Shenxing looked at Zhao Nanxing as he spoke: "And Zhao Bulang is obviously confused. He only sympathizes with the treacherous villain, but ignores the grievances of the king and father. He is truly a disciple of the emperor in vain!"
When Zhao Nanxing saw Shi Xing and Yu Shenxing were there, Shen Shixing asked if he really wanted to take back the subscription coupons and take all the mining profits into public ownership. Because after the Ming Dynasty could truly achieve the rule of three generations, they all began to blame themselves, and their hearts suddenly burned. And Hehe sneered:
"Isn't it because I couldn't bear to let the mines benefit the country that I suddenly changed my opinion of being dissatisfied with the emperor and his father for taking too much advantage of the people?"
"especially you!"
"Shi Gongchen!"
"You have long been plotting to make money!"
After Zhao Nanxing said that, he pointed at Shi Xing and shouted, and was about to expose why Shi Xing was different from what he appeared to be. Suddenly, he felt his eyes go black, then he felt a severe pain in one eye, and then his whole body started to hurt. .
It turned out that because he was afraid that Zhao Nanxing would reveal his background, Shi Xing took advantage of his martial arts experience and knocked down Zhao Nanxing with one punch, and then started punching and kicking Zhao Nanxing:
"The Zhou family's father and son are traitors and traitors! If you sympathize with these two people, you are also a traitor! Traitors who have no king and no father will be punished by everyone!"
