After Liu Haojia raised the question, Zhang Juzheng did not answer directly. Anyway, he twirled his beard and smiled and said: "Actually, I think Wu Ninghou may not care about revenge. Your more purpose should be to deal with this phenomenon of wanton false accusations, right?" ap .
Liu Haojia was stunned for a moment when he heard what Zhang Juzheng said, and then his mind started spinning rapidly! Then in a very short period of time, he felt that he had a rough grasp of Zhang Juzheng's thoughts, so he bowed and said, "Sir, the Chief Assistant is indeed clear-sighted!"
Naturally, Zhang Juzheng could not misread the look of understanding in Liu Haojia's eyes, which made him appreciate the person in front of him even more! It's a pity that they have different cultural and military paths, and this person refuses to surrender to him. This is very regrettable!
But he still smiled and said: "Then tell your Majesty and your colleagues what you think."
Liu Haojia quickly sorted out his thoughts and said: "Today's incident against Xiaguan is actually just one of many similar incidents! Hundreds of officials are competing to falsely accuse their opponents for promotion and other benefits. This is already a chronic disease in the court. !」
Having said this, he pointed out seven or eight examples one after another, and such examples can be said to be everywhere in Jin Yiwei's files, and they are not difficult to find at all!
After he finished giving examples, he said: "Master Chief Assistant, if this evil trend is not suppressed as soon as possible, officials all over the world will work harder to falsely accuse competitors for the sake of profit, and they will not be honest about it! Because of this! This method is so convenient and the cost is so low! As long as you spread some rumors in the market and invite three or five friends to go to the court to submit a letter, the matter has already become a serious matter! And what if the person who is falsely accused is caught off guard? Excuse yourself? You can only pay enough benefits in exchange for your own safety! If things go on like this, officials in this world will not have to do anything. As long as they are thinking about plots to harm others, their official career will be prosperous. If this is the case, the people of this world will have a prosperous career. Who will govern it? Should it be governed by a group of women who only know how to make false accusations?"
Liu Haojia's words made all the officials grit their teeth secretly! Because they have done similar things more or less! And this kind of thing should exist secretly, but now Liu Haojia has easily singled it out, and they naturally feel uncomfortable all over!
Zhang Juzheng did not comment when he heard what he said, but asked calmly: "Is there any more?"
Liu Haojia also let go and simply said: "Of course there are! Please recall how many people have been impeached and demoted in the past few years? And how far is the difference between the content of the impeachment and the actual situation? During this period, The gap can be described as a world of difference! The root cause lies in the censors! Those censors are talking nonsense according to their own ideas. Even if they are wrong, it doesn't matter. They have the right to make trouble anyway! But other officials are The accomplice, relying on the censor's wanton push to achieve his own ulterior goals! Therefore, the rules regarding the censor's rumors and reports should also be changed!"
As soon as Liu Haojia finished speaking, a censor jumped out and said loudly with an angry look on his face: "Marquis Wu Ning, the censor heard that the memorial is an ancestral system! Do you know what an ancestral system is and cannot be tampered with!"
Liu Haojia said disdainfully: "If you are talking about the ancestral system, you should talk about the time before the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors! You should just change like the people at that time, wearing animal skins, picking wild fruits, and living in caves!"
Liu Haojia's words unsurprisingly caused a burst of laughter from all the officials! Among them, the ones who laughed the most happily were the nobles! Even many civil servants couldn’t help but laugh!
In fact, everyone knows that when it comes to tampering with ancestral systems, the Ming Dynasty changed a lot of ancestral systems! If nothing else, there was no cabinet when Zhu Yuanzhang was here, but now the cabinet has the final say on all major affairs in the court!
The censor felt a little embarrassed. He pointed at Liu Haojia and said, "You, you just use strong words to make excuses!"
Liu Haojia didn't even look at him. Instead, he raised his hands to Zhang Juzheng and said, "Sir, Chief Minister, one of the main reasons why we Han people can occupy the most fertile land in the world is that we Han people never stick to the rules! From Cangjie's creation of characters to Zhao King Wu Ling rode and shot in Hu clothes, from using a knife to carve words on bamboo slips to now using pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Each of these things is not the result of sticking to the rules, but the courage to innovate! Even now, the Ming Dynasty’s treasury is full , the national power is strong, and it is also obtained by the chief minister leading hundreds of officials to innovate, so some
Things should change or change! "
After Liu Haojia finished speaking, all the officials looked at Zhang Juzheng nervously, fearing that he would say hello! Especially the conservative officials are even more nervous! This person is a strong advocate of innovation, and he has caused everyone a lot of trouble in the past few years! If Liu Haojia persuades him to continue tormenting the West District, he will die! As an official, he drinks tea and listens to music every day, isn't it good for him? Why make yourself so tired!
Zhang Juzheng nodded, mainly because he was very satisfied with Liu Haojia's flattery! Then he said slowly: "Father Liu, I know that what you said makes sense, but some things cannot be changed just by changing them. You have to take it slow and think about it in the long term!"
But I was relieved to hear that! But then Liu Haojia said: "Master Chief Assistant, I can understand what you said, but when there are evil spirits who deserve to be killed, they should be killed, right?"
Zhang Juzheng was silent for a moment and then slowly said: "That's true! Some things are obviously wrong, but everyone doesn't take it seriously. Instead, they continue to help others do evil. This really needs to be addressed!"
After speaking, he said to Liu Haojia: "No matter what, although what you just said was a vent to vent your anger, it is still disrespectful to Mr. Zhang Ge. Why don't you quickly apologize to Mr. Zhang Ge!"
Liu Haojia was overjoyed when he heard this! The words he just said about impeaching Zhang Siwei turned into angry words as soon as Zhang Juzheng relayed them. All he had to do was apologize lightly! So without saying a word, he bowed to the ground and saluted Zhang Siwei, and said at the same time: "Mr. Zhang Ge, I acted recklessly and spoke carelessly. I bumped into Mr. Ge for a moment. Please forgive me!"
Zhang Siwei hated Liu Haojia so much that his teeth itched! But he can't do anything now! If he doesn't accept Liu Haojia's apology and continues to quarrel with him, then maybe Liu Haojia will really implement what he just said, but I'm afraid the whole world will know about someone impeaching him for corruption and bending the law!
People who don’t know the truth are likely to believe it! And people who know the truth may jump out and add fuel to the flames! At that time, my reputation will be completely ruined! Thinking of this, he could only shake his sleeves and snort, accepting Liu Haojia's apology!
