Zhu Yijun played with a slingshot and was controlled by Empress Dowager Li. He was not happy and naturally had to argue.
But when debating with Empress Dowager Li, you have to pay attention to the method and method. You can't just say, "I just want to play." That will only lead to loud mouths.
That intensifies the contradiction. Not only can it not solve the problem, but it can also easily complicate and expand the problem. From playing with the slingshot or not, it rises to the big right and wrong of filial piety and unfilial piety, and it becomes a mess and makes a mess.
Empress Dowager Li looked at Empress Dowager Chen and said helplessly: "Look, sister, I told my sister before that I cannot restrain the emperor, but all that logic fell down and made it seem like I made a mistake by protecting the emperor."
Empress Dowager Chen smiled and said, "Why don't you listen to what the emperor has to say?"
Zhu Yijun said quite seriously: "Master said: One cannot not know people, but it is very difficult to know them. Especially for kings, if they want to know people and make good use of them, how to know people? Master said: You must look at what they are and observe what they are. You can see where it's at."
"Looking at the reason means to see whether what he did is good or evil. If he does good, he is a gentleman. If he does evil, he is a villain."
"Look at the reason, that is, look at the reasons for what he does. If he is sincere, it is good, and if he is pretentious, he is evil."
"Observe his peace of mind, that is, see what his heart is at peace with in what he does. If his heart is at peace with what he knows, it is good, and if he is afraid of power and has benefit, it is evil."
"When Mr. Yuan Fu said this, he said with emotion that if it comes from the peace of mind, then it is good. Otherwise, it will only be temporarily ignored. How can it remain unchanged for a long time?"
"Lu Shusheng has a good reputation, and everyone says he is upright. Everything he does in his daily life is good, and his reasons for doing things are sincere and he does his best. But when he does these things, he does these things. The reason is not the morality that the heart is at ease with, so it is only temporary and cannot last long.”
"That's why Lu Shusheng became a supporter of the Kuomintang Party because what he did was not based on morality in his heart, but out of fear of power and selfishness."
"Li Le is different. Zhang Siwei's methods are extremely deceitful, but Li Le's actions are based on the meaning of his heart. This is where peace of mind lasts."
"Of course, Mr. Yuansuke may be more frightening than the ethnic party."
Zhang Juzheng's exclamation did not mention anyone by name, but Zhu Yijun understood very well what Zhang Juzheng was talking about. Confucius was right, fear of power and benefit will be temporary, and peace of mind will last long.
But people's hearts are separated from each other, and even an official like Zhang Juzheng, who has been practicing for many years, cannot fully understand people. How can he understand people?
Is it possible to dig out a person's heart and dry it out in the sun before we can know it?
Zhu Yijun could understand what Zhang Juzheng was lamenting, and he directly named it. Zhang Juzheng was talking about the comparison between Lu Shusheng and Li Le. Zhu Yijun was afraid that the empress dowagers of the two palaces would not understand what Zhang Juzheng was saying, so he pointed it out directly.
Zhu Yijun held his hands and continued to speak: "I ask Mr. Yuanfu, what is loyalty and traitor, what is purity and turbidity, and what is virtuous and clumsy? Mr. Yuanfu will decide."
"I thought about it for a while. Such talk is somewhat vague. Mr. Yuanfu can't answer. If he talks about some big principles like that rotten scholar, Mr. Yuanfu doesn't want to. I thought for a moment and asked again."
"Everyone said that Yan Song was a treacherous traitor. When Yan Song was in power, the court had no military expenditures for wars, officials could not receive salaries, and the victims had no food to provide relief. The people were forced to annex and annex the countryside and were displaced for personal gain."
"Everyone said that Yan Song was a traitor. Yan Song's son Yan Shifan went to the Ministry of Works as a minister and supervised the construction of the emperor's private residence. Didn't Xu Jie's son Xu Fan also supervise the construction of the emperor's private residence and the Yongshou Palace, which was completed in three months? , the greedy money even bought half of Songjiang Mansion."
"After defeating Yan Song, will military expenditures, salaries, and disaster relief food funds be available? Will the people live in peace and contentment? Will the traitors be punished?"
"Mr. Yuan Fu was disappointed and replied: Never."
Xu Jie was Zhang Juzheng's teacher. The Xu Party had long since disappeared. Some of them joined the Jin Party and some became Zhang Party members.
Zhang Juzheng refused to let Hai Rui return to Beijing. In the eyes of the ministers, it was Hai Rui and Hai Gangfeng who investigated Xu Jie's corruption in Songjiang Mansion.
Yan Song is a corrupt official, a flattering minister, a treacherous minister who forms cliques for personal gain, a treacherous minister who deceives superiors and subordinates with clever words, commands and sex, and makes the monarch appreciate the power and punishment without the power and blessings.
What about Xu Jie? Isn’t it Xu Jie?
Zhu Yijun said with a serious face: "I will ask Mr. Yuan Fu again, what is loyalty and traitor, what is purity and turbidity, what is virtuous and clumsy? What is the great evil in the world? Mr. Yuan Fu has not said anything for a long time."
"What is the great evil in the world?" Queen Mother Chen also asked with some confusion.
"Mr. Yuan Fu didn't say anything, and the child doesn't know either." Zhu Yijun showed his signature smile.
He is just a ten-year-old emperor!
For such a profound question, you should ask Mr. Yuansuke!
The Ming Dynasty was dead, it was riddled with holes, and the death was shocking. As the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Juzheng knew clearly where the great evil in the world lies.
Does the greatest evil in the world lie in the king?
Hai Rui carried the coffin and remonstrated, saying that the great evil in the world was the Emperor Jiajing. In Jiajing, every family was clean.
But the great evil in the world is really due to the words of Emperor Jiajing, and it is really because of the words of a single husband. During the Longqing period, the emperor disappeared, and the emperor and his ministers jointly ruled the world. Isn't this world still a world where civil servants are unable to achieve military success, and the world is exhausted and the people are suffering?
Is the greatest evil in the world above the court?
Yan Song fell, Yan Shifan died, Xu Jie came, Xu Jie fell, Gao Gong came, Gao Gong fell, and now Zhang Juzheng is here. The Ming Dynasty under the leadership of Zhang Juzheng restored some vitality in the ten years, but Zhang Juzheng fell. What happens after?
The greatest evil in the world lies in etiquette. The ministers of the Ming Dynasty have always hoped that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty can live within the framework they have formulated and be an emperor who rules from the top down. And this framework they formulated has tightly bound them. The Ming Dynasty, from its kings to its common people, were all struggling in this quagmire, unable to extricate themselves.
To be more precise, the distribution and production mechanism based on Confucian etiquette and law is no longer applicable to the current development of productive forces in Ming society and cannot reconcile the conflicts of interests and contradictions between various classes.
The greatest evil in the world lies in the king. If the king neglects his administration, the principles and discipline will be broken;
The great evil in the world lies in the court. If the court is dark, the world will be ill;
The great evil in the world lies in etiquette and law. When etiquette and law are rotten, the king will be lazy and the people will be tired.
Zhang Juzheng's reforms are still not thorough enough or fundamental enough.
The great evil in the world really lies in the vast land north and south of the Ming Dynasty, inside and outside the Great Wall, where thousands of people are struggling to survive in the mountains and wilderness;
The real great evil in the world lies in the vast hectares of fertile land in the Ming Dynasty that no one cultivates, and the people are trapped in annexation and struggling;
The biggest problem in the world lies in the fact that the people can no longer bear the suffering and can no longer bear the imperial tax, the land rent, and the private demands of the countryside.
The hardship of people's livelihood is the greatest evil in the world!
What exactly are the fortunes of dynasties and the destiny of emperors?
In the extremely simple political concept of Zhu Yijun, a ten-year-old master, destiny means that the people live and work in peace and contentment! If the people are at peace, the world will be at peace; if the people are not at peace, the world will be at peace.
Zhang Juzheng clearly knew the great disadvantages of the world. In the 33rd year of Jiajing, he was obsessed with the mountains and rivers. In fact, he also felt disgusted with the intrigues of the court and the evil hearts of the people. However, he still talked about the uneven land distribution, the unemployment of the poor, and the people's desperation. Suffering from the annexation, he returned to the court and wanted to change this bad world.
The reason why Zhang Juzheng did not answer was because the little emperor was still young and these matters needed to be presided over by the emperor himself.
Zhu Yijun continued: "Mr. Yuan Fu later said that a gentleman has no power."
"What does it mean for a gentleman to be disrespectful?" Queen Mother Chen asked with great interest.
Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Mr. Yuan Fu said that utensils are utensils, which refer to various utensils. Utensils are also the process of making utensils, which are clay clay smelting, drawing, printing, sharpening, drying, and carving. , the process of applying glaze and firing the kiln.”
To be a tool is both a noun and a verb. Not being a tool means not sticking to the form. Not being a tool means being eclectic. Only by following the rules can you become a talented tool. It has its own limitations.
"The fact that a gentleman is not equipped with tools does not mean that a gentleman cannot become talented. This sentence must be understood and linked to the previous chapter. Master talks about knowing people. Those who do good are gentlemen, and those who do evil are villains."
"A gentleman does not have tools. What we are discussing is a gentleman, not a villain. People have different talents and skills, just like utensils. Although they have their own uses, they are not connected. They are good at this but not at that. They are not all-rounders."
"A gentleman does not have utensils. Large ones can be used for economic and financial affairs, while small ones can manage money, grain, armor and soldiers. They are not like utensils, because the shape and size can only be used for one purpose."
"A gentleman should not stick to the opinions of the world or to clinging to complicated and decadent customs. Therefore, if a gentleman has no talent, he will be the greatest talent in the world."
"Mother, the slingshot is meant to be accurate. This is a preparation for a thirty-pound soft bamboo bow with ribs. This is a process of making a tool. How can the clay be turned into porcelain in the kiln before it has been clayed? The child is not Sui Zhu. Playing the sparrow is not a ridiculous move just to hit the ball in front of the palace, so I ask my mother to take a closer look."
"Just pretend that you haven't mentioned the slingshot." Queen Mother Li waved her hand and said, "Play! My mother never said that. We will not be unreasonable in the future. Your Majesty, let's play, let's play."
Slingshot, play! Cuju, kick! What's the big deal?
Play! Open to play!
Empress Dowager Li was still thinking about what was the greatest evil in the world. After hearing the emperor's words about gentlemen being incompetent, she relaxed and stopped interfering. Her mood was a little complicated, a little helpless and a little relieved at the same time.
Unfortunately, I can no longer speak to the little emperor. The parents who educate their children are not as good as their children being able to reason, so there is no way to teach them.
Fortunately, the child is studying hard and understands many truths. The most important thing is for the child to grow up. As long as the little emperor can be recognized by the ministers, Empress Dowager Li's stay in the Qing Palace will not be in vain.
Zhu Yijun did not finish what he said. Later he asked whether there are always gentlemen in the world who are incompetent.
Zhang Juzheng said: There are no gentlemen in the world.
Zhu Yijun said with emotion: Treat it as good, observe its root cause, observe its peace of mind, and use it as a tool. Each material and skill must be used according to the person. Don't be too prepared; if you don't use all talents, you want to pursue the country. If you have extraordinary merit, you will not have to plan for your own safety. If you get it, you will definitely have a big responsibility.
Xu Zhenming is obviously a talented person. He knows agriculture and water control, and is proficient in agriculture and water control. You can't be too demanding on him to do more. No matter how much, Xu Zhenming can't do it. When he gives a report on his work in front of the court officials, Xu Zhenming is stunned. He stuttered and didn't know what he was talking about.
In this world, is there really someone who has made great contributions to the great governance of the world, and is there absolutely no incompetent person who seeks to protect himself?
have.
The Han Dynasty is full of loyalty and good deeds from generation to generation.
"Li Le wrote two memorials from Datong, proclaiming the construction of the Great Wall, which was extremely corrupt." The reason why Empress Dowager Li mentioned this matter was to ask the emperor's thoughts.
