Chapter 179 The power of ideas
What He Xi said was simply earth-shattering. Attracting everyone's attention.
Even Liu Sanwu looked at He Xi in disbelief. He couldn't believe that He Xi said these words.
In fact, the Ming Dynasty scholar-bureaucrats were fundamentally resistant to monarchy. Moreover, the power of ancient Chinese emperors also varied. Although he holds high the plaque of loyalty to the emperor. But in fact, scholars in the Ming Dynasty were afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang from the bottom of their hearts, but they were resentful in their hearts, and some even did not necessarily have no reflection on him. I just don't dare to say it.
The game between the monarch and his ministers is also divided into stages.
Generally speaking, in the family politics of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the emperor was nothing? An emperor who has a strong family and a wealthy family.
However, after the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the aristocratic families gradually fell into disadvantage under the pressure of the imperial power. The decline of ministerial power, or prime ministerial power, can only be attributed to the disputes in the late Tang Dynasty. Zhu Wen threw the Qingliu ministers into the turbid current of the Yellow River, and the family politics was completely shattered. But it was the Southern Song Dynasty that really made Chinese society move towards introversion and dictatorship.
Under the strong military pressure, all social resources had to be concentrated. The relatively relaxed political environment in the Northern Song Dynasty disappeared, and the system of the emperor appointing power ministers gradually took shape. The politics of the Southern Song Dynasty are completely different from those of the Northern Song Dynasty, which lies in the subversion and succession of powerful ministers.
The politics of the Yuan Dynasty were even different, with a nomadic style and a more authoritarian nature.
The actual formation of the Ming and Qing dictatorship was actually in the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang. But it is also a historical inertia.
This historical inertia does not mean that Zhu Yuanzhang did not accept advice or listen to the advice of his subordinates. In fact, although Zhu Yuanzhang was irritable and had strict demands on his subordinates, in fact, Zhu Yuanzhang was not incapable of listening to advice on many matters.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang was not willing to share power with others in the national system.
The death of Hu Weiyong is a typical example.
Now, He Xi is here to say that the world belongs to everyone. In the eyes of many people, this is simply asking for death. On the one hand, it is certainly what everyone expects. But at the same time, he was also seeking death in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
However, they never expected it.
Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "Tell me more specifically."
He Xi said: "Use the opinions of the ministers, synthesize the opinions of the world, draft a plan, make it public in the newspaper, and let the people of the world discuss it. If it can win the hearts of the people of the world, then use it. If it cannot win the hearts of the people of the world, then change it. .”
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "If you don't have any objection, then let's make a decision."
No one spoke.
Liu Sanwu recovered from the shock. I thought to myself: "If you speak falsely, you will argue; if you behave crazily, you will be strong; if you remember the ugly, you will be wise; if you are enlightened, you will be dangerous; if you follow the wrong, you will be happy."
In Liu Sanwu's opinion, He Xi is such a person. To argue with lies, to remember ugliness but to be knowledgeable, to be insightful but dangerous, it is about He Xi's character and knowledge. He Xi actually knows it very well in his heart. He Xi doesn't know that his so-called new method may very well bring chaos to the world. ? Must know. However, it is still implemented and plausibly made, making it difficult for people to refute. He Xi was only for He Xi's political purposes, not for the future of Ming Dynasty. For his own purposes, he did not mind destroying Ming Dynasty.
Such people are truly a nuisance and a traitor.
Addicted but determined, He Xi is a modern person after all. Many habits brought from later generations were regarded as eccentricities by the people of the Ming Dynasty.
Others still couldn't see He Xi's true face, but he, Liu Sanwu, knew it. He was determined not to let this matter fall into He Xi's hands. So Liu Sanwu said: "I have an opinion."
After hearing this, the prince frowned slightly and said to himself: "Old Master Liu, why are you doing this?"
And Zhu Yuanzhang had no expression on his face. He knew that Liu Sanwu would not just sit idly by. A gentleman can deceive others. It is because a gentleman has his own principles and his own bottom line that cannot be compromised. If this principle is too obvious and exposed, it becomes a weakness and can be easily manipulated.
Zhu Yuanzhang was trying to manipulate Liu Sanwu.
Liu Sanwu said: "Your Majesty, major events in the world cannot be decided by the public. This is a major matter for the imperial court. How can it be manipulated by public opinion? Moreover, the world is full of different people, and the north and the south are not the same. There is no law in the world that can satisfy everyone. Law."
Zide, who was standing among the crowd, frowned slightly.
He was a little dissatisfied with Liu Sanwu at the moment.
Of course, he didn't think it was wrong for Liu Sanwu to attack He Xi. But the method is wrong.
Yes, Qi De fully understands He Xi's sinister intentions. With an upright, impeccable plan that could please everyone, he took this matter into his hands. As for the future, it was He Xi who made the final decision.
He Xi had too many ways to manipulate things.
This is also a perennial tactic used by bureaucrats.
That's right, He Xi actually has this idea too. Not to mention public opinion in newspapers, even public opinion on the Internet can be manipulated. Being manipulated. What He Xi wants is a war of public opinion. He Xi's methods cannot be said to be very clever.
It's just that although Liu Sanwu has been in the officialdom for most of his life, as a Qingliu, he doesn't pay much attention to many sneaky tricks. Now, caring leads to chaos, and that’s why he did this.
Liu Sanwu made a mistake.
He Xi said: "Master Liu, what you said is wrong."
"The emperor has hundreds of officials, as far as Yang is concerned, and the common people are ordinary people. As far as Yin is concerned, the harmony of Yin and Yang is a sign of good fortune for the world. Therefore, since ancient times, when Mingjun ruled the world, he always attached great importance to the way of speech. Because of the way of speech, because of the way of speech, the way of speech connects the upper and lower levels. , the words are clear, then the emperor knows the worries of the small people, and the small people know the difficulties of the court, and everyone above and below is in their own place, how difficult is it to govern the world? There are all different places in the world, but the emperor is determined by the people above, and the people are in charge. Why is there so much chaos?"
Liu Sanwu said sternly: "Although there are good laws, they cannot be used by good people. Good laws will inevitably cause harm. If you have an evil intention, fall into evil ways, and slander the sacred teachings, you are not qualified to shoulder this important responsibility."
He Xi said: "I don't understand why Mr. Liu said what he said?"
Liu Sanwu said: "We, the Ming Dynasty, rule the world with filial piety, but He Xi advocated alienating brothers and sisters and forcibly dividing families. Splitting clans makes the world uneasy. For the sake of the world, this person should go far away to the frontiers and deserts. He cannot take on such an important task."
He Xi said: "I wonder where Mr. Liu knows this?"
Liu Sanwu said: "Why don't you dare to admit it in front of His Majesty and the officials?"
He Xi said: "There is nothing I dare not admit. I just want to know where you saw it."
Liu Sanwu sneered and said, "Why did you forget the manuscript you showed me?"
As soon as this statement came out, there was some commotion below. After all, just listening to the words in front of me, it seems that the two of them have a good relationship. After reading the manuscript of the other party's memorial, it would be a bit too unkind to reveal it now to attack the opponent.
He Xi said: "There is nothing I dare not admit. There is indeed such content in my manuscript, but I just said that the court cannot arbitrarily decide on world affairs, let alone me. What I think is not important. It is important. It depends on what the world thinks. I don’t dare to be selfish. I will live up to your majesty and the people. As for the manuscript, it can be changed. But, Mr. Liu, don’t you know what it means to let go of the ban? language."
Liu Sanwu was stunned. Suddenly I remembered.
Leaking banned Chinese is actually a crime of leaking secrets.
The emperor's whereabouts, what the emperor said, undisclosed court decisions, etc. Saying these things in advance is all forbidden Chinese language. The severity of the sentence depends mainly on the severity of the circumstances. The most serious case is beheading, the lightest case is a fine of silver.
However, this matter can be big or small.
In the palace, things often cannot be hidden. Because too many people are paying attention. Even if I can hide it for a while, it will take a long time. It will also spread slowly. Now, I have mentioned various obstacles to ancient intelligence work before. Intelligence work pays the most attention to timeliness. Generally speaking, even if the intelligence from the rear is leaked, it cannot be spread.
Many times, the crime of leaking the forbidden Chinese language is used to deal with a world where great losses have occurred. It is a charge that can be pursued after the fact. In fact, the court official did not find any way to inquire about the news in the palace. The court's decision.
This thing happens every day.
However, for many things, if it is not put on the scale, it is only four taels, but if it is put on the scale, the scale will be crushed directly.
And this is it.
Not to mention, Zhu Yuanzhang is still waiting for the opportunity.
