The faces of Li Huang and the others changed drastically.
But Li Yan couldn't help but slap his thigh and shouted "Okay!"
Scholar-officials should come from the people!
This is where Li Chao’s illness lies now!
What is a scholar?
First, one must have sufficient cultural knowledge. In modern terms, they are intellectuals. Scholars in ancient times were called Confucian scholars, and students who became officials were called scholar-bureaucrats.
Second, morality means that one must be an upright person, pay attention to society and people's livelihood, be enthusiastic about social construction and development, and contribute to it. This has formed a consensus.
Only when the two are combined into one can one be called a "scholar"!
But what about Li Chao today?
What is the Eastern Party, the Western Party, the Southern Party, and the Northern Party?
The formation of these parties actually solidified the entire social class over time.
Class solidification.
This situation also existed in China's Ming Dynasty, but after all, at that time, China's imperial examinations were already very mature, and occasionally a wise man like Zhang Juzheng would emerge.
But what about the Li Chao of this world?
Poor student?
Ah.
If you want to enter an official career, don’t even think about it!
This also leads to the fact that those who are officials remain officials, and ordinary people can only be ordinary people! Over time, scholars really became a kind of hereditary nobles! But human development is, after all, full of too many uncertainties. Who can guarantee that all of his descendants will be scholars?
then.
Just like the foolish kings of the past dynasties, when such scholar-bureaucrats go to heaven, why do they pray for the people or worry about the country and the people? Most of the intellectuals and elites have become worms in this society!
Said another way.
In terms of talents, there has been no updating and no fresh blood injection for such a long time. People all have selfish desires. How could those who are truly in positions of power not want to think about their own children and grandchildren?
fault.
This is the solidification of classes and the talent gap.
This is the real illness of Li Chao!
"you……"
"nonsense!"
"What do you know about Li Chao!"
"you……"
The group of civil and military officials led by Li Huang were all furious and filled with righteous indignation.
The common people, and among these people, there are naturally many students from poor families, who have gone crazy.
"well said!"
"Shilang Liu is worthy of being Shilang Liu!"
"good!"
"This is our voice!"
Li Huang was so shocked by Liu Zheng that his face turned red.
Liu Zheng laughed loudly and continued: "Sir, do you want to tell me that there is nothing wrong with these untouchables being involved in government affairs?"
"you……"
Li Huang looked surprised, obviously he just wanted to say this.
"Okay, have you seen it? This is the face of these scholar-bureaucrats!"
"Hahahahaha, while talking about the common people and things, at the same time calling us untouchables!"
"Bah! Without us, where would you be!"
The group of people present today come from all walks of life, including students from poor families, businessmen, officials, and various craftsmen and farmers. At this time, everyone followed Liu Zheng's rhythm and cursed loudly. Not all of them are scholars. They will spit out every one of them for you. Some women even threw rotten vegetable leaves in their hands.
"you……"
"You are an insult to elegance, an insult to elegance!"
Li Huang and others were all pale-faced, but they couldn't fight back. They all rode on guard and turned a blind eye.
"Is it just these people?"
Li Huang angrily pointed at Liu Zheng: "How can we govern the country with these vulgar people?"
Liu Zheng laughed: "It can be cured!"
"Shameless talk!"
"Rubber words!"
"How can you govern a country if you don't know the word "dou"?"
"Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce have been like this since ancient times. Liu Shilang just wants to count the classics and forget his ancestors!"
Liu Zheng said calmly: "But in Liu Zheng's view, the so-called scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are only social divisions of labor, not social class differences. The people are the most noble, the country is the second, and the king is the least. Therefore, it is the people of Qiu who become the emperor. The emperor is a prince, and the princes are great officials. When the princes threaten the country, they will change it. After the sacrifice is completed, the rice is abundant and clean, and the sacrifice is timely, but there is a drought and the water overflows, then the country will be changed."
"The Master said that this world should belong to the people, the common people, and the thousands of untouchables you look down upon! The Master said that imperial power is innate, but Liu Zheng believes that the innate should be human rights!"
"presumptuous!"
"you……"
"You, you, you, Minister Liu, where do you put the royal family?"
A group of scholar-officials were beating their chests and adding fuel to their jealousy, hoping that the king would put this boy to death.
However... all they did was useless.
Li Yan still looked calm.
Liu Zheng continued: "Liu Zheng believes that in terms of rights, people should be born equal and free, and there should be social differences in public use. This is the difference between scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. Therefore, since ancient times Since then, people's interpretation of 'scholars, farmers, industry and commerce' has been distorted."
"you……"
Li Huang was so shocked by these shocking words that he stood up.
But this Liu Zheng quoted from scriptures every sentence, which was convincing, and he had no way to refute.
When the people heard this, they were already trembling with excitement!
well said!
Liu Zheng is re-elaborating on this truth that has been passed down for thousands of years. The tradition of thousands of years does not violate harmony at all!
What is eloquence?
This is eloquence!
"two……"
At this time, Liu Zheng seemed to be the focus of the audience. Everyone looked at him with different eyes.
He also looked back at Li Yan and continued to say something shocking: "Liu Zheng believes that the purpose of any political group's existence should be to preserve people's natural and unshakable rights! These rights are freedom, property, and security. And resist oppression! Including scholar-bureaucrats, and the same... also includes the royal family!"
crazy!
Li Huang shouted out and looked at Liu Zheng in horror.
This is no longer shocking!
This is simply horrifying to hear!
This is taboo!
The people are also crazy.
Unstoppable cheering.
Listen to these words, every sentence is seeking power for them! Yes, what they want is rights, not power!
The whole place roared, the mountains roared and the tsunami roared, and it could no longer stop at this time.
"Oh My God……"
Queen Inhyun was shocked by her future son-in-law.
Liu Zheng, on the other hand, became more and more excited as he spoke: "Third, the sovereignty of all countries and political groups mainly relies on their citizens!"
“No group, no individual, may exercise any power not granted by the sovereign!”
"fourth……"
Everyone, by this time, had been restrained.
"Human rights and freedom mean the right to engage in all behaviors that are harmless to others! Therefore, the exercise of an individual's natural rights is only limited to ensuring that other members of society enjoy the same rights!"
"Fifth, the law is an expression of public consciousness. Citizens across the country have the right to participate in the formulation and improvement of the law personally or through their representatives..."
"sixth……"
Liu Zheng's voice was sonorous and powerful.
But the voices of the people were rising one after another, cheering endlessly.
Can't stop.
Can't stop at all.
Li Huang tried to interrupt Liu Zheng several times, but he was soon drowned out by the voices of the people.
The debate has become one person's speech.
He suddenly realized something was wrong and suddenly looked at Li Yan behind him.
Li Yan still looked calm.
Was all this ordered by him?
Then, this old demon who had been in the officialdom for decades began to sweat all over his body.
Kings……
Does this mean you no longer want the royal power?
