Chapter 154 Hostility and Cooperation
The person who knows himself best is his enemy.
When He Xi heard what Fang Xiaoru said, he felt like he had been seen through.
Yes, although He Xi's political attitude is somewhat obscure, everyone who should know it also knows it. That was Zhu Xiongying, and He Xi was half of Zhu Xiongying's teacher. And Zhu Xiongying grew up under the knee of Princess Anqing, which is half of Zhu Xiongying's mother.
With such a close relationship, I wonder who Zhu Yingxiong supports?
Seizing the direct descendants is related to the political trend in the next few decades, and is related to the life and death of countless people. Sometimes, even if the relationship is particularly good, it is not necessary to support the other party.
The interests here are too great and anything can happen. Before later companies go public, there are still a lot of gimmicks and private exchanges of interests. Not to mention, for such a big event, others would not press too hard to ask He Xi who he supports? There is room for all.
And Fang Xiaoru seemed to be sure, He Xi was determined not to give up on Zhu Yingxiong. Even though He Xi has a good relationship with King Yan. He Xi would not support King Yan's ascension.
He Xi did not answer directly and said: "This matter has its own holy will and is not something we can discuss."
Fang Xiaoru said: "There is a great way in the world. This matter is not only a family matter of your majesty, but also a major event of the world. After the death of a father, it is natural and right for the son to succeed. Even if your majesty asked me, I would say the same thing. Even if your majesty wants me to put a head on my head, I will not hesitate. What do you want to do? Brother is like this too. Because you and I are the same person."
He Xi was silent for a while, and sure enough, he saw his own figure on Fang Xiaoru's body.
Fang Xiaoru said that He Xi was the same person as him. It's not about their current status and influence in the court. Rather, they all have their own political ideas and are not people who blindly follow political interests. In Fang Xiaoru's view, no matter what political philosophy He Xi adheres to, He Xi is still a Confucian official at heart.
Confucianism is essentially a study of the world. To learn from Confucianism is to make a great contribution to the world and make the world follow the right path. The Master certainly said that if the Tao is not good enough, it will float in the sea on a raft. But if you have the opportunity to do great things in the world, you will definitely fight for your power.
Now, He Xi is like this. Fang Xiaoru is also like this.
In Fang Xiaoru's view, what He Xi created was too illusory, the knowledge was too biased, and it was not the right way. But He Xi put into practice what he proposed bit by bit, and never gave up. This alone surpassed many people in the world. Even if Fang Xiaoru feels that what He Xi has done is wrong, he must defend the right path of the world and deny He Xi's heresy. But that doesn't stop me from admiring He Xi's academic spirit.
Of course, this kind of thing can only be said when he speaks privately in front of two people.
On other occasions, I would definitely not say it.
Precisely because Fang Xiaoru was sure that He Xi would never give up his political ideas, Zhu Yingxiong was his most suitable choice.
There will be no other choice.
He Xi changed the subject and said, "Brother Fang, tell me straight, what do you want to do?"
Fang Xiaoru said: "For no other reason, please give Brother He a few words of kindness in front of His Majesty, so that His Majesty will confirm the succession of grandchildren, not sons, and send all the kings back to the vassal territory. As for the rest of the matter, we will talk about it slowly. ”
He Xi thought for a moment and said, "Yes, but I am very curious. As you said, the eldest son comes first. Will you support the great emperor's grandson?"
Fang Xiaoru said: "As long as the great emperor and grandson do the right thing and do the right things, who in the world can not support the great emperor and grandson?"
After hearing this, He Xi suddenly smiled and said, "I didn't expect to hear such words from Fang Xiaoru. I don't even know Brother Fang anymore."
Fang Xiaoru's words should be understood in reverse, that is, if the great emperor's grandson does not do business and does not follow the right path, his virtue is naturally unworthy. No matter how much he opposes, it is not a problem. There is even another meaning, that is, if He Xi gives up the wrong path of reform, reconciles with him, and changes many inappropriate things in He Xi's reform, it is not impossible for him to change and support the emperor's grandson's ascension to the throne.
One sentence has several meanings, and leaves no trace behind.
This is a skillful method of politicians. There are too many politicians in Ming Dynasty to talk about, but Fang Xiaoru is not an ordinary person. He Xi looked at Fang Xiaoru from the perspective of a scholar, but now he found that he was no longer the great scholar he was before.
Fang Xiaoru said: "The sun and the moon rotate, and the heaven and the earth move. What is constant in the world?"
After He Xi heard this sentence, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, laughing and crying.
This seemingly simple sentence is the result of He Xi's ten years of hard work.
This sentence seems ordinary. But it was unusual for Fang Xiaoru to say it.
As mentioned earlier, Confucian philosophical concepts are static, claiming that heaven remains unchanged and so does Tao. The way of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors at that time is the same as the way of the Ming Dynasty today. The philosophy He Xi put forward at the beginning was that the world is dynamic and everything is in constant motion.
Since there is movement, there is advance and retreat, advancement and retreat. There is no such thing as a completely static society. Through the study of change, we can grasp the laws of change.
Movement and stillness. In fact, He Xi debated an important proposition with the Confucian scholars. It seems simple, but there are too many things involved behind the scenes.
If the world is static, then He Xi's so-called reform has no theoretical support. The world is dynamic, so it is natural for Ming Dynasty to make changes to the new situation.
This has actually been made clear for a long time. When He Xi was in the Imperial College, he made his opinions clear.
However, political arguments are not debates. It makes sense, making your opponent admit defeat are two completely different concepts.
And Fang Xiaoru is the most influential Confucian scholar today, and he is also the most powerful among Confucian officials. As mentioned before, Tang Duo and other veteran officials can hardly be regarded as Confucian officials. Fang Xiaoru's many words and deeds have a huge influence.
He Xi also knew that it was impossible for Fang Xiaoru to say such words in front of outsiders. However, after all, their words and deeds not only represent themselves, but also represent the broad interest groups behind them.
But the words "He Xi has Fang Xiaoru" are enough.
Is a thing or a theory right or wrong? In a short period of time, there may be many factors affecting it, but history will give everyone a fair answer.
He Xi is very confident about this matter.
------
The affairs of the secretary are very busy. After all, all the affairs of the entire Ming Dynasty are summarized here. But it's easy to say it's easy.
Because the secretariat has no decision-making power, the decision-making power of the secretary-supervisor is actually the decision-making power of the emperor. In the position of Secretary Supervisor, one can intervene in everything under the sun, and at the same time, one can also do nothing but organize documents.
If it were just to sort out documents, the secretary would supervise hundreds of people, all of whom are top-notch talents from all over the country. There was no need for He Xi to take action at all.
Naturally very relaxed.
But it was very difficult for He Xi to achieve something through Secretary Supervisor. However, He Xi did not want to do this now.
After all, He Xi still doesn't understand why Zhu Yuanzhang put him in this position?
However, now that he is in this position, he has to do what he should do. He immediately promoted Xie Jin. As his deputy, all the general affairs of the Secretary Supervisor were handed over to him. There are some things that Xie Jin knows what to do without him having to explain them.
He Xi felt that she might not be able to stay under the secretary's supervision for a long time. However, Jie Jin is different. Xie Jin was not considered an old man in the secretary prison. In the future, after He Xi leaves office, he may be able to promote Xie Jin. m.
The other person He Xi promoted was none other than Zhu Xiongying.
In other words, it's not a promotion, it's an arrangement.
Although Zhu Xiongying has been training in the secretary prison, under Fang Xiaoru, Fang Xiaoru will not embarrass Zhu Xiongying, but there are many times when caring is also a kind of embarrassment. After all, Zhu Xiongying came here to gain experience. Under Fang Xiaoru's love and care, Zhu Xiongying received almost no experience.
However, He Xi was cruel to Zhu Xiongying and directly asked Zhu Xiongying to follow Xie Jin and take over the entire secretarial supervision matter.
Although he is busy, if he wants to be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the powerful emperor, and the secretary-supervisor, he must master the work.
Some people died, but not completely...
