Everyone looked back and saw a man standing there, trembling with anger and unable to stand still.
Who is this person?
This was everyone's first reaction. Even Wang Jian and Li Si reacted in confusion.
】
What's more, Ying Zheng is sitting on the stage?
Ying Zheng blinked and carefully searched the corners of his memory for the identity of the person in front of him.
To the end——
I didn't even think of it.
On the contrary, the expression of Shaoxing Wen, who was lazily fishing in the crowd, changed, and he quickly looked at the person who was all eyes in the crowd.
I suddenly felt that it was not good to yell.
Standing in the center of the crowd, the stunned Qing who everyone was curious about who he was, wasn't he his own censor Shi Yihong?
At this time, Shaoxing Wen could no longer care about what was on his mind. He quickly took a step forward. Wind blew under his feet and he almost stepped on his robe.
"thump--"
A crisp sound pulled everyone's eyes back, and they looked straight at Shaoxing Wen, who was kneeling on the ground all of a sudden, wishing that a crack would appear in the bricks.
"Your Majesty—"
"Wei Chen is guilty, Wei Chen is guilty -"
Shaoxingwen's voice was filled with sadness, helpless anger, and a little pain.
The sorrow is real, the grief and anger are even more real, and the pain is also real.
She was sad and angry that she had to clean up the mess for Yi Hong, and she was miserable because she still didn’t know if she would be resented by the left-wing Prime Minister Chen Ke, who was said to be small-minded...
I heard that the last person who offended Prime Minister Chen was already three feet tall...
Ying Zheng withdrew his gaze from Yi Hong. He still hadn't remembered the memory of Yi Hong, or even his name.
He looked at Shaoxing Wen, who was kneeling on the ground because of too much fear, and was somewhat impressed by this person.
When the censor Ji Yun looked at the censor Zhongcheng who was kneeling aside, he suddenly understood and immediately knelt on the ground.
Now, everyone understood.
Why did the first one kneel down?
Is this person probably one of the censor's subordinates?
Many people had a bit of schadenfreude on their faces. The imperial censor was not here, and the censor Cheng and the censor Zhongcheng were the biggest figures in the censorship.
Moreover, Yushitai actually has a lot of power and can supervise all officials. He also controls a group of mad dogs that bite people at every turn.
Although someone from the "Tongpanfu" has appeared who can take away their rights, now that they have suffered disaster, the officials are still quite happy.
Ying Zheng didn't care, he just looked at Shaoxing Wen and Ji Yun and said, "Oh?"
"What's the crime?"
Ji Yun and Shao Xingwen heard the indifference in Ying Zheng's voice. While they were relieved, they did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me."
"This person is from my Yushitai, and he is Yi Hong, the official serving Yushi under me."
Shaoxing Wen sighed: "This person is full of arrogant words in the Yushitai, and he is even more incompetent and angry."
"He seems to have some connection with the Confucians of the past."
"Today I made such arrogant remarks, which offended His Majesty and the Prime Minister. I thought it was because he accepted the instigation of Confucianism, but I am still responsible for my ineffective supervision."
Shaoxingwen's tone was very humble and sincere in his voice.
However, he quietly pulled Confucianism down.
Is there any relationship between Yi Hong and Confucianism?
certainly.
In the past, there were seventy-two sages in Confucianism. These so-called seventy-two sages followed the practices of their teacher Confucius and recruited many disciples. They had no idea how many disciples they had.
Yi Hong's teacher was the eleventh generation disciple of Qin Fei and Qin Zizhi.
Therefore, Yi Hong also believed that he was a disciple of Confucianism and upheld the character of a so-called Confucian disciple.
He stood there with his whole body upright and did not refute Shaoxing Wen's words.
It's like admitting that he is a disciple of Confucianism.
But the real Confucian disciples in the crowd looked helplessly sad.
Because they know that after this time, there will be almost no room for Confucianism to turn around.
The emperor will raise his sword against Confucianism again, and this time perhaps even Baijia Palace will no longer be able to protect Confucianism.
Perhaps Confucianism will really disappear from this dynasty.
Yan Kong stood in the crowd. He was one of the doctors of Baijia Palace and the chief of the "Wen Palace". According to his rank, he could be ranked in the court.
He stood there quietly, already planning in his mind how to let Confucianism survive this catastrophe.
Yan Kong even believed that what happened this time was planned by the emperor, Chen Ke, and even the other people in the court.
Otherwise, why would a Confucian "stubborn donkey" stand up to oppose it at exactly this moment?
He closed his eyes for a moment, and when he was about to speak and try to make a final struggle, an unexpected person spoke.
Chen Ke, who was standing at the front of the crowd, smiled slightly. He looked at Yi Hong who objected, and still used a normal tone.
"oh?"
"Who is this?"
Although Yi Hong is unruly, stubborn, and old-fashioned, it is precisely because of these characters that even if he opposes Chen Ke, he will not be rude to Chen Ke.
Because "ritual" is also the legacy of our ancestors.
"The lower official has met Prime Minister Chen, and the lower official is the imperial censor Yi Hong."
Chen Ke also smiled: "It turns out to be Yu Shi."
He looked at Yi Hong and said: "Yi Yushi just said "ridiculous", I don't know why? "
When people around him saw that Chen Ke was still asking questions modestly and even calmly, they all had some questions in their hearts. Is this person usually such a good-tempered person?
But at this time, they didn't care about so much and only looked at two people.
Even Ying Zheng sat there without speaking.
He was not surprised at all, not from the beginning, and his heart had always been calm.
It's not because Ying Zheng has confidence in Chen Ke, but because he and Chen Ke found and discovered this "Yi Hong" together, allowing him to raise objections at this time.
Ying Zheng's eyes were dim, and he still remembered what Chen Ke said that night.
"Human nature always likes to compromise. For example, if you say that this room is too dark and a window needs to be opened here, everyone will definitely not allow it. But if you advocate removing the roof, they will come to compromise and be willing to open a window. window
After thinking about it, he found that what Chen Ke said was absolutely correct. It even spoke to his own heart and captured thousands of human nature.
Therefore, in order to prevent the "Five-Year Plan" from being too strongly opposed, they found a support like this.
certainly--
This reason is Chen Ke's concern.
But Ying Zheng's reason is not like this, because Ying Zheng is very clear about the strength of his control over the court. Back then, his great father, King Zhaoxiang, was able to control the court with just one word, and no one in the entire Qin State dared to object to King Zhaoxiang's words. .
Even Prince Zhu at the time once said to his wife: "My great father can not only control the next king, but as long as the great father is willing, the king after me and the king after me can only be determined by the great father." Come down."
And this is actually the case.
Whether it was the later King Zhuang Xiang or Ying Zheng himself, in fact it was mostly decided by King Zhaoxiang.
When Ying Zheng's thoughts reached this point, he had a lot of thoughts in his heart. This was something from the past.
After he ascended the throne, his control over the court had reached a certain level even before he ascended the throne, let alone after he unified the world?
So the reason why Ying Zheng did this was not because he was worried about fierce opposition——
He could even see that as long as he opened his mouth to set a five-year plan, everyone in the court would be like dead fish, silent and afraid to speak.
This is the confidence and pride that belongs to Ying Zheng and belongs to Ying Zheng alone.
If it were the previous Ying Zheng, he might have enjoyed this kind of thing, but that was no longer the case with the current Ying Zheng.
Because he officially felt that he could start thinking about his "retirement" life.
In other words, not complete retirement.
Instead, he gradually reduced his existence and allowed Prince Fusu to gradually supervise the country and handle the court.
Of course, this is also the self-confidence that uniquely belongs to Ying Zheng.
Because Ying Zheng knew that as long as he didn't nod, no one would dare to really take refuge in the prince.
As long as he says a word, any of his sons can become the new prince.
Therefore, Ying Zheng will not doubt it.
His confidence lies in this.
If there is any eventuality, it is to face it. If there are traitors, they should be killed. If there are rebels, they should be cut down.
Ying Zheng looked at Chen Ke in the crowd and Yi Hong who was confronting him, and then quietly glanced at the Fusu standing in front of the crowd, standing tall and straight like a green pine.
It is a good thing that my child is born so well.
At this time, the confrontation between Yi Hong and Chen Ke had just begun.
Yi Hong looked at Chen Ke. Although he still looked like he was old-fashioned, he took a serious attitude.
"My subordinates disagree with the "Five-Year Plan" proposed by the Prime Minister. "
There was a hint of emotion in his voice: "If the Prime Minister is not an immortal, how can he calculate what will happen within five years? Otherwise, how could he have predicted it all?"
"What if things in the past five years are unexpected, what if things in this plan have problems due to some force majeure?"
"If it cannot be completed, wouldn't it be a blow to the court?"
"What's more, any plan is only on paper. Is it necessary to set a standard method for handling every issue?"
Chen Ke looked at Yi Hong with a peaceful expression.
"Yi Yushi, this statement is wrong."
He shook his head and said with a clear face: "The five-year plan is not to plan everything in detail in these five years."
"It's just an outline, a goal."
"What will Da Qin achieve in these five years, and to what extent will it reach?"
Chen Ke looked at the civil and military officials in front of him and simply said: "Do you think the current Great Qin is good enough?"
Everyone who asked this question was caught off guard——
Is the current Da Qin good enough?
In fact, everyone thinks that life is good enough, and it is not just them. Anyone who picks up a Guizhou leader from among the people will feel that today's life is good enough.
Being able to have enough food and clothing, no war, no need to worry about dead people.
Almost every household has land, and they can receive land according to their headcount. They can even have something to look forward to and save some money every year during the Chinese New Year.
Life like this is not considered a good life, and Da Qin like this is not considered good?
So what kind of day is good?
Everyone feels that this is a life that only gods in the sky can live...
But Chen Ke didn't feel that way.
He just looked at the officials present like a devil, and said as if tempting, "Everyone, what are the sages pursuing?"
Chen Ke's voice was not loud, but it seemed to echo in everyone's ears at this time.
"Mozi and other Mohist sages pursued "harmony of the people" and "harmony with heaven"; Confucius and other Confucian sages pursued world harmony; Laozi and other Taoist sages pursued "rest and recuperation" and "ruling the people by the people"; and Legalist sages such as Li Zi pursued It is "feudal unification". "
"But these pursuits have one thing in common, which is the security of the world, the security of the country, and the security of Guizhou."
"Only Sanan."
"Although Da Qin has now unified the world, the Baiyue in the south and even the barbarians further south in Baiyue are still there."
"Is the world safe?"
At this time, the court was silent, except for Fusu who stood up and walked to the center of the court.
"disturbed."
His voice was clear and powerful, like a jade plate falling to the ground.
Chen Ke spoke again: "The country is the state."
"The Huns are fleeing, the Western Regions are watching, and the Baiyue are waiting for a victory that belongs to them."
"The country has just been unified."
"Is the country safe?"
At this time, the answer sounded again, but it was no longer a person.
But a group of people.
Under the leadership of Fusu, Li Si, Wang Jian, Meng Tian, Meng Yi and many other elders said: "Uneasy."
Chen Ke sighed again and asked: "If thousands of people in Guizhou and Guizhou are safe, they will not pick up things on the road or close their homes at night. Can such a situation happen in Daqin today?"
This time, without waiting for anyone else to answer, Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the high platform, spoke.
His eyes are deep and his expression is silent, making it impossible to tell whether he likes or dislikes.
The twelve hairs in front of Ying Zheng were shaking, and his voice was weak but firm: "Nothing."
Chen Ke said silently: "You feel that life in Guizhou is already very good now. You feel that your life is already very good."
"But I feel that life can be better like this."
“That’s what the five-year plan is for.”
"Once a person stops striving, or even settles for pleasure, his pace will stop, and he will no longer make progress."
"What is the meaning of life?"
"The meaning of life is progress."
There was a smile on Chen Ke's lips. This prime minister who used to keep talking about "fishing" is no longer what he used to be.
Although it is a Confucian idea to rule the country and bring peace to the world, doesn't Chen Ke think so?
If those thousands of Guizhou heads with their heads lowered in the fields can one day live a better life, how can they not be happy about it?
Chen Ke had a lot of thoughts in his heart, but he still spoke slowly about his beliefs.
"Everyone, take me as an example."
Chen Ke did not hesitate to use himself as an example and the first target of "slaughter".
"Do you think, why does this thing "chair" appear? "
