When I heard about the Book of Changes, if heaven and earth are in harmony, it will be peaceful; if they are not, it will be negative.
The king and father are heaven; the subjects are earth. Therefore, if the king lowers his heart to visit and the ministers offer their sincere service, then the common people will be in good governance and the country will be in peace; if the king refuses to speak against his ears, and the ministers will make plans for themselves, then the subordinates' emotions will be blocked and their hearts will be alienated and rebellious.
Since the birth of the people, there has never been a person who did not follow Si Dao. The husband's road is still blocked, and if you step close, you will lose thousands of miles.
Today, His Majesty the Emperor has a new treasure, he is of high moral character, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager together help the military and the country, and Sheng Mo is glorious.
You must be careful when issuing orders for the first time, because this is the difference between chaos and safety. Put the essentials first and the trivial last.
I have noticed that in recent years, the customs have been declining, and the scholar-bureaucrats regard it as wisdom to secretly marry and keep a low profile, and they regard it as madness to speak dangerously and correctly. I don’t know that the Ming Lord is worried and diligent, and eats late at night, but he has nothing to complain about. He is trapped in both public and private affairs, and there are many thieves.
It depends on God that he is dying, that there will be no great hunger in the old age, that the ancestors will make plans, and that people will have the same ambitions. Otherwise, the power of the world would not be so chilling!
This is all the fault of the minister. The ignorant people are ignorant and often blame the late emperor. Therefore, this minister is angry day and night, anxious and weeping, regardless of death, thinking of someone who can develop in the imperial court.
I think that the person who should be the first person today is to issue an edict clearly and open up the way for speech. He should not be a person with or without official position. He should be someone who knows the failures of the court and the suffering of the people. He should be allowed to enter the official seal and speak as much as he wants.
It is still issued to all the prefectures and armies to send out Xiaoxiao notices at important places. In Beijing, they will drop them at the Drum Courtyard and the Procuratorate. The commission chief judges will enter when they are painting. Outside, they will drop them at the prefectures and armies. The chief official of the commission will submit them on the same day. Report and hear.
No one is allowed to take the copy of the responsibility, and there is a limit to the strong. Its people have no property and are worried about treachery. It is their duty to protect the people who know them, to take command, and to give orders and expedite them.
Then I hope that your majesty will give you a brief overview in his spare time. Those whose principles are correct will implement their words and promote others; secondly, they will take advantage of their strengths and ignore their shortcomings; those who are arrogant, stupid, vulgar, and have nothing to do can be punished and dismissed without any penalty.
In this way, your good words will advance day by day, and your love will not be hidden. Although your Majesty lives in the ninth level, you can control the affairs of the world at your fingertips and take measures to do whatever your Majesty wants. This is the source of public security and the foundation of peace.
If your majesty considers the minister's words to be advisable, he will make a decision based on his holy will and issue an imperial edict to the Academy of Academicians for implementation. If a minister is frustrated, he must be treacherous, fearful of others' accusations, and only want to block his wisdom. This must be observed!
Chen Guang paused, a capital crime! Bingwu, March 8, the eighth year of Yuanfeng
