The emperor's position is a very serious thing in the East and the West.
For example, after completing the achievement of never setting the sun, the British Empire has been seeking to proclaim itself emperor. It was not until 1877 that it inherited the legal system of the Mughal Empire and was officially crowned emperor. After World War II, the British emperor gave up the Mughal Empire. The legal system has returned to the British royal family.
Legal rule is the common understanding of language, culture, ethnic group, territory, religion, and history of all people under the rule.
If you want to obtain the emperor's legal authority, in addition to gaining living space through conquests, you also need to establish an effective and universally observed system. This system is usually called etiquette in the context of the Ming Dynasty.
To be an emperor, you must first have legal authority.
The first basic feature of a legal system is its vertical historical stability. Only when a system can be generally observed and run for more than a hundred years can it be said to have a legal system;
The second basic feature is horizontal universality. This set of systems must be universally recognized within the jurisdiction, and everyone must live according to this system;
The third basic characteristic is relative independence. It cannot exist dependent on another collective existence. I am me and I exist because of me;
The fourth basic feature is internal consistency, which is universal value and common understanding.
The internal consistency is not difficult to understand. For example, when the Ming Dynasty won the victory in Daningwei, the people under this legal system all cheered for the victory. Only the clan party and the humble Confucians were unhappy, because the stronger the Ming Dynasty’s imperial camp, the clan party was under The greater the threat, the stronger the Beijing camp. The emperor grabbed the knife, and the power of life and death fell completely into the hands of the emperor.
Verticality, horizontality, independence and internal consistency are the basic characteristics of the legal system.
And Felipe II has neither vertical nor horizontal direction, nor complete independence. He needs to rely on the Holy See to help him tie the scattered territories together. As for internal consistency, the Low Countries will not be defeated by the Armada. The Ottomans rejoiced and were not sad because the Ottomans occupied Tunisia.
Zhu Yijun deconstructed and analyzed the legal system. He could become emperor because Zhu Yuanzhang created a set of legal systems of the Ming Dynasty that met the four basic characteristics, so he could inherit this power. During the Jiajing and Longqing years, he discovered that in fact, this power The legal system is no longer so stable.
Either reform the old system and repair it, or completely abandon this legal system and establish a new legal system.
Zhu Yijun considered himself an incompetent person. He did not dare to teach the sun and moon to change the sky, so he could only repair this mess.
Zhang Juzheng is undoubtedly the master of repairing the state system of the Ming Dynasty. He not only reused the ancestral law, but also had his own unique understanding of the state system. He is a master of the ancestral law and the reform of the old.
Zhu Yijun deconstructed this legal system because today's court meeting talked about this issue.
"Sir." Zhu Yijun put down his pen. He was listening to the government at the imperial gate. It was good to listen to the government, but Zhu Yijun did not interrupt once or twice. As the emperor, Zhu Yijun's power was unlimited.
"I'm here." Zhang Juzheng quickly bowed his head and said.
Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "In the future, we must pay special attention to the memorials opposing the New Deal, and we must also pay attention to the issues mentioned in them. We are not afraid of being caught by them, but to find the shortcomings of the New Deal and further improve the New Deal."
This group of public officials holds a magnifying glass all day long to magnify some of the problems of the New Deal. They oppose the New Deal every day when there is nothing to do. Opposition is not ineffective. The public officials who are critical can actually find some problems.
The content of today's court discussion still included dozens of charges against Zhang Juzheng, some of which are not worth mentioning, and some of which can be referenced and improved.
"Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Juzheng was stunned and smiled. His Majesty has completely mastered the unique method of turning enemies into his own advantage and constantly improving political orders.
The picky politicians never imagined that some of their reasons for opposing the New Deal would make the New Deal more stable and powerful.
Your Majesty's set, transformation and attack were very clever.
Zhang Juzheng put down the memorial to impeach him, picked up another memorial and said: "Neither the Ministry of Household Affairs nor the Ministry of War strongly agree with selling ships."
Wang Guoguang saw Zhang Juzheng's court discussing the matter and said: "We in the Ming Dynasty don't have enough big ships, so why should we sell them to the Hongmao Fan? If we have twelve five-masted ocean-going ships, each ship carries 12,000 shi, and each ship can carry 12,000 shi. It can transport 200,000 shi, and next year the grain transportation by sea will reach 800,000 shi. It only needs four trips, and one month is enough."
“If you sell two, you’ll lose two.”
Wang Chonggu thought about it and said: "Da Situ, your calculation is wrong. The main force of grain transportation is the three-masted plywood ship. This is the main force of grain transportation. The five-masted ocean-going ship is for crossing the ocean. The last time we transported grain, It is to test the stability of sea-going ships. Ocean-crossing ships have to cross the ocean. We don’t have nautical charts or needle charts, so we can’t cross the ocean at the moment. Then Captain Antonio can help me test the ocean-crossing ability of ocean-going ships.”
"Allowing a five-masted transoceanic ship to sail offshore is like putting a chain on a dragon. It uses more resources than it can use."
Wang Chonggu agreed to sell the ship because it was a business. Regarding business matters, Wang Chonggu had a family background and supervised the official factory himself, so he did not agree with Wang Guangguang’s conservative thinking. Conservatism in the business field was Keep silver out of the market.
Wang Chonggu has always been very bold. He was the one who promoted the tribute and tribute market. Now he is working hard on the official factory.
Tan Lun said with emotion: "The five-masted ocean-going ship was a warship and was sold to the Hongmao Fan. They will definitely take the opportunity to cause chaos and join forces with the Black Fan, Japanese pirates and desperate invaders. The Japanese rebellion on the southeast coast is really frightening."
"Any government decree that may cause Japanese invasion should be carefully reviewed before making a decision."
Wang Chonggu was silent for a moment and refused to say another word. Preventing Japanese invasion was a political correctness that had existed since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Wang Chonggu just wanted to express his opinion, so he could only choose to avoid this issue.
Yu Dayou saw that everyone was so taboo about this issue, he sat up straight and said: "I just rely on my old age to show off my old age. The contradiction of Japanese invasion is very complicated. Looking at this problem only from the perspective of military and Ming Dynasty coastal defense, the specific In general, it is the establishment and maintenance of the navy, coastal defense and patrol, and the leadership of ordnance."
"If you have any impression, when the large sailing ship arrived at the port, we called it a giant ship, a large sailing ship. In comparison, the Ming Dynasty's ship seemed very small, and now, our ship is bigger than theirs. , and the types are also increasing, and ships like Huafang are also a hot-selling product of Songjiang Shipyard.”
"In the first year of Wanli, we experienced a short-term panic of commodity disadvantage."
"I think it can be sold. After selling, the ship will become more powerful. Without communication and communication, just playing your own game behind closed doors is just talking to yourself. The five-masted ocean crossing ship of the Ming Dynasty is also a reference. The Taixi sea ship and Fengzhou were finally finalized."
As a famous anti-Japanese general, Yu Dayou took the lead in breaking this untouchable topic by relying on his elders.
When Wang Chonggu saw someone taking the lead, he opened up the conversation and said with great conviction: "If we look at the development process of Ming's products, it is very consistent with the theory of contradiction. The quality of a product needs to be tested. If it is not useful, find the problem. If we analyze the reasons and correct these shortcomings, the product will become more and more perfect and mature."
"For example, silk products. The silk products of the Ming Dynasty are the best. Since ancient times, silk fabrics have been used by the royal family. For this guest in the palace, they must be perfect."
"The perfection of commodities leads to qualitative changes in constant quantitative changes."
"There is a five-masted ocean crossing ship in Luzon, and more than ten ocean crossing ships can be deployed from Dianbai Port in the Ming Dynasty to Songjiang Prefecture for coastal defense. If anyone dares to invade, he will never come back."
Tan Lun thought again and again, nodded and said: "What you said makes sense, then sell it."
Wang Guoguang, the Minister of Revenue, thought for a while and said very seriously: "We must not let overseas orders usurp orders from the Ming Dynasty. Grain and sea transportation are a big deal, and we cannot afford to lose big because of small things."
"What Situ said makes sense." Seeing that the opponents no longer objected, Zhang Juzheng began to seriously summarize the experience in all aspects, wrote a floating ticket, and sent it to the emperor for approval.
Zhang Juzheng’s opinion is: It can be sold, but in order to prevent the recurrence of Japanese invasion, the number of warships of the Ming Dynasty must have an absolute advantage in quantity and quality. Ensuring the safety of the Ming Dynasty’s maritime areas is the first principle. While selling ships, it must also continue to Summarize the experience of shortcomings and improve while building. The research and development of new ships must not stop. It is also the task of the shipyard to stay relatively ahead.
Zhu Yijun Zhu approved Zhang Juzheng's floating ticket and stamped it with a big seal.
"The investigation into Tang Kekuan's death in Gubeikou, Miyun, is almost complete, and there is no hidden secret." Zhang Juzheng took out a memorial and announced the news that Tang Kekuan's death in battle had indeed nothing to do with Liu Liangbi and Pei Yingzhang.
"Is there no hidden secret?" Zhu Yijun asked in confusion. The retro-confucian scholar was so hot-tempered that he didn't participate in it this time, which surprised Zhu Yijun.
Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, it's too late. Tang Kekuan's pursuit was a temporary decision. After half a day's march, we reached the ambush in Shibapan Mountain. We cannot effectively convey the news in this half day."
It may not be that the cheap Confucians don’t want to, but they just don’t have the ability.
After Zhang Juzheng finished speaking, Zhu Yijun remembered that Wu Dui and Fang Fengshi had played tricks on the court twice and lied about the military situation. The transmission of information in this year was not so convenient, especially when they were still fighting. Tang Kekuan did pursue too deep and was ambushed. Then he died.
Zhu Yijun took a deep breath and accepted the fact. Wang Rulong, the commander-in-chief of Daning, also asked Dong Hu. Dong Hu had bitten many people, but he could not produce any evidence. Dong Hu also failed to get Daming's information. However, Ming Dynasty used 500 taels of silver to buy back the bodies of Tang Kekuan and several generals.
"The Northern Captives are not weak." Zhu Yijun said with a hint of helplessness: "Tang Kekuan violated the general's order and attacked privately. After the official burial, all his kindness will be deprived of him."
Disobeying the general's orders is a taboo on the battlefield. According to Qi Jiguang's wishes, under the background of Zhenwu and strong troops, no one mentioned this matter, so it just passed by in a daze. After all, death is the most important thing. After all, Zhenwu is strong. Soldiers, eventually died on the battlefield.
But Liu Liangbi and Pei Zhongzhang insisted on entangled and punished Qi Jiguang severely. That was to put it on the table and put it on the scale. If the matter of disobeying military orders was widely known, punishment must be carried out.
Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou looked at each other, both looking helpless. His Majesty was punishing the generals, but they did not stand up to intercede for the generals who had died on the battlefield.
In the army, military orders are overwhelming. Now that this matter has been put on the table, that can only be the case.
Zhang Juzheng frowned and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's inappropriate. This is the time to strengthen our military strength."
"Sir, kindness does not lead to troops." Zhu Yijun reminded Zhang Juzheng. Did he really not want to deal with it this way? Ming Dynasty was so stupid that it didn't accomplish enough? He really planned to just fool around and let it go, but when it was put on the scale, the impact was so great that he couldn't forgive it easily, that would be appeasement.
Disobeying the general's orders is absolutely not allowed in the army. Gubeikou was not lost this time. If it was lost, how many waves would be caused in the war in Daningwei?
"Your Majesty should be severely punished." Tan Lun agreed with His Majesty's treatment. Zhang Juzheng wanted to strengthen his military power, so he felt that he could tolerate it a little. This was also his usual approach. He could just accept some money and other things.
In Tan Lun's view, this disobedience to the military order of the general's seal cannot be tolerated.
Zhu Yijun discovered that Zhang Juzheng's military talent may be similar to his own, and both are infinitely close to zero.
"Build the Zhongyong Temple at Gubeikou to commemorate his loyalty and bravery." Zhu Yijun finally gave Tang Kekuan the honor. Tang Kekuan's motive was not to strive for merit, but to expand the results of the battle. He died in battle, and he still had to give him the name of loyalty and bravery he deserved.
Zhang Juzheng thought about it again and again, shook his head, wrote the floating note and presented it to the emperor.
After Zhu Yijun approved, he said to Tishuai Zhao Mengyou: "Let Liu Liangbi and Pei Zhongzhang go to court."
Hai Rui bowed his head when he left work and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid we can't let go. Corruption has been found on them and they have been investigated by the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
"Ah... this big event didn't have them, but corruption has them?" Zhu Yijun shook his head, and it happened to hit the blade of the Ming Dynasty Sword. Hai Rui presided over the matter of killing corruption. Liu Liangbi and Pei Zhongzhang were afraid that they would be unlucky. .
Liu Liangbi and Pei Zhongzhang are probably more miserable than death if they are new officials. If they are not diligent, they will not be lazy, and if they are dedicated, they will not have the foresight.
"How much greed?" Zhu Yijun asked.
"Liu Liangbi has more than 130,000 taels, and it has been well documented. Pei Zhongzhang has less, only about 20,000 taels, and they are still being investigated." Hai Rui bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to request that this case be published in the imperial newspaper and circulated The whole world knows it.”
"That's right." Zhu Yijun rolled his eyes and said, "Hai Zongxian, I have an idea."
When the ministers heard that the emperor had an idea, they couldn't help but shudder. The emperor had always been very good at humiliating people. What kind of trouble was this?
Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "I plan to build a Happy Stele Forest. I will circle a few acres of land outside Chaoyang Gate, and then faithfully engrave the names of these corrupt officials and the facts of their cases on it. The princes have come to Beijing. We all need to go to this happy forest of steles to learn a thing or two, take it as a warning, and find an inscription to copy down. If you are less greedy, the inscription will be smaller. If you are greedy more, the inscription will be larger."
"Sir, this doesn't go against the principles of frugality and economy."
"Report to Your Majesty, I will not violate it." Zhang Juzheng quickly bowed his head and said, this does not conflict with the principle of frugality! Your Majesty, please don’t think of anything else but frugality!
"Then build it outside Chaoyang Gate and reserve space to prevent it from being placed. What do Hai Zongxian think?" Zhu Yijun asked Hai Rui what he thought of the Happy Stele Forest.
Hai Rui said very solemnly: "I think it is very good. The students who come to the court will be alert when they see the inscriptions, so that they will not fall into trouble and regret it."
"That's it." Zhu Yijun showed a bright smile.
The Yinjie captives would be hung on long poles in the Tonghui River, with stone tablets pressed under the poles. Now outside Chaoyang Gate, there is another Happy Forest of Steles, where all corrupt officials are included.
The court discussion was still going on, and Wang Guoguang proposed a sufficient salary law, which was to give sufficient salary to the Ming Dynasty bureaucrats. The last time the Ming Dynasty set salary was in the Hongwu period, and the last time it paid full salary was in the fifth year of Yongle. Later, the salary was reduced to pepper. At this time Over time, pepper became worthless, but the court still issued pepper.
Pepper is not an ordinary equivalent, and the price of pepper also drops every day. Later, the imperial court became more and more short-term, and the pepper was no longer distributed, and the money was simply discounted by 70%.
Officials in the Ming Dynasty were definitely not poor. As long as they were successful in the examination, a large number of people would put their land in the name of this candidate. If they were successful in the examination, there would be even more people.
The purpose of Wang Guoguang's suggestion is to give a sweet date and a few big slaps. The next thing to do is to return the land. The acres of land of many gentry, civil servants, Jinshi, and officials seriously exceed the standard. Now they will be given After getting enough salary, the next step is a slap in the face.
This is completely predictable. In the memorial, Wang Guoguang explained his views without any concealment.
Wang Guoguang's precarious position as Minister of Household Affairs was once again stabilized.
Wang Chonggu was determined not to mention this kind of advice. He would only think of ways to make money so that he could launch an attack on the Jin gentry. Wang Chonggu did not dare. He himself knew that he was just a villain who was not ambitious and determined.
Zhang Juzheng, Wang Guangguang, and Tan Lun still had to do this kind of charge.
The Ministry of Works reported that the ground-level buildings of the late emperor's mausoleum, which were not well repaired, have been renovated and they look a bit better. As for the underground part, in order not to disturb the late emperor, they were not touched again. The repairs cost a total of ten years. Twenty thousand taels of silver, in addition to repairing the buildings on the ground, also built the missing buildings before.
At this point, all repairs to Emperor Longqing's imperial mausoleum have been completed.
It was in this matter that Zhu Heng, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, met with great misfortune. When Guo Chaobin repaired it, he really tried his best.
Wan Shihe made a very constructive suggestion, that is, in the southwest of China, after the death of a hereditary native official, the court no longer made him a hereditary official, but instead dispatched a local official. The purpose of this was to prevent The civil unrest in the southwest, this time the civil unrest in Luopang Mountain, is caused by the Yao people.
The work of reforming the land and returning it to Liu was carried out from the Hongwu period to the Wanli period. Later, when Jiannu became powerful, the court could no longer take care of the southwest.
Wan Shihe once again affirmed that the Duke of Guizhou played a decisive role in the stability and development of Southwest China, and asked the emperor to reward the Duke of Guizhou to express his close friendship.
The Duke's Mansion of Guizhou is called Prince Mu's Mansion among the people. Mu Ying is Zhu Yuanzhang's adopted son. This is indeed a close relationship, not just a relationship between monarch and minister.
Ma Ziqiang of the Ministry of Rites read a memorial, which made Zhu Yijun's hands tremble. The more he read, the more frightened he became. He looked at Ma Ziqiang and asked: "Uncle Zong, this, this, can everything be simplified?"
The little emperor, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, not even the humble Confucians, was a little frightened when faced with this complicated etiquette. If he went through this etiquette once, he would have to shed his skin even if he did not die.
Ma Ziqiang asked the emperor to visit the Imperial Academy and gave him a specific courtesy.
In this tedious memorial, Zhu Yijun had to be busy for seven days. At the beginning, he had to bathe and change clothes, burn incense and fast, and recite an article in memory of Confucius every day. On the third day, he began to sweep the streets. Zhu Yijun was dizzy just reading the article in memory of Confucius. , I would go here and there to offer sacrifices, and I would rush here and there to the place of sacrifice.
"Your Majesty, this has simplified everything. This ritual has been established by our ancestors since the Hongwu period. This ritual has been performed by all generations." Ma Ziqiang also wiped the sweat from his forehead. He also knew that this thing was indeed It is stinky and long, but it has been simplified to the extreme.
In order to avoid these cumbersome and useless sacrifices, the Ming Emperor came up with various methods, and Wuxun sacrifice was the most common.
But there is no substitute for this matter. When the old Taoist priest Jiajing was still very diligent, he took care of this Jiaxing Taixue Yinzhu.
"Then let's do it." Zhu Yijun looked at the long memorial and sighed. He, as an emperor, could not avoid this strict etiquette. Even the emperor's visit to the Imperial College was a big ceremony that happened in all dynasties. It was not a small matter for the Ministry of Rites to embarrass him. emperor.
In seven days, Zhu Yijun felt that he had shed a layer of skin from exhaustion. It was only this once in his life, otherwise Zhu Yijun would definitely come up with a method to destroy it.
However, after Zhu Yijun finished the smelly and long Xingtai Xueyi Notes, Hai Rui completed the Happy Forest of Steles in less than five days, and even invited the emperor to come and see it in person. Just two stone tablets, deserted.
The inscription has a sentence to read, and it is not too troublesome to read, and it uses common characters and common prose. All the mental internal consumption of Zhu Yijun because of Xingtai Xueyi's note was all restored because of the completion of the Happy Forest of Steles!
"It's better to read a sentence well, use popular Chinese characters, and set up courtyard walls instead of doors. Anyone can come in and take a look." Zhu Yijun was very satisfied with Hai Rui's job.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it will be like the old story of Deng Wengu in the future." Hai Rui said with some worry.
During the Hongwu period, there was a Dengwen Drum. If people had any injustice, they could directly beat the Dengwen Drum and complain to the Emperor Taizu Gao. After the Emperor Gao came to visit the guests, the Dengwen Drum had a courtyard wall and became the Dengwen Drum Courtyard. Once the door was locked, no one complained.
"Who can take care of things for so long?" Zhu Yijun waved his hand and didn't care much about the future. No one can care about the things behind him, but as long as he lives for one day, the Happy Stele Forest will be open for one day. The name of a corrupt official will be remembered for a whole day.
"Your Majesty, something interesting has happened in the capital recently." Hai Ruihu followed His Majesty. He is now the Chief Secretary of the Censor, one of the big bosses, and is responsible for rumors and gossip.
"Oh, what's wrong?" Zhu Yijun asked curiously.
"Sun Ying'ao, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial College of the Imperial Academy, humiliated his subordinate Zhou Daozhi and was impeached by Yan Guan." Hai Rui said with a smile.
"I have seen Sun Ying'ao. He is a good man. Why did he suddenly humiliate his subordinates? Why did Sun Ying'ao curse them?" Zhu Yijun recalled.
Sun Ying'ao, the right minister and the imperial wine minister, is a typical stubborn old man, but he has a good temper. His stubbornness is also stubborn with himself, but he rarely quarrels with others.
Hai Rui also shook his head repeatedly and said helplessly: "It's also a bad year for Mr. Sun. Zhou Daozhi came to Beijing as an official in September this year. He went to Sun Ying'ao's house to pay homage to the superior. Zhou Daozhi knelt down to see him. Sun Ying'ao didn't like people kneeling, so he reprimanded Zhou Daozhi in person."
The nickname Haibijia refers to the fact that Hai Rui refused to kneel to superiors. He knelt to the sky and to the ground and knelt to his parents and father. The rest did not kneel. In the Ming Dynasty, there were two styles of kneeling to superiors and non-kneeling to superiors. Hai Rui was an anti-ding figure of the non-kneeling faction. , it is also an important basis for Hai Rui to identify Gukun's righteousness.
The bones are strong and righteous, but the bones are too hard to kneel down.
Apparently, Sun Yingao, the right servant, was a non-kneeler, while Zhou Daozhi was a kneeler. When Zhou Daozhi knelt down, he was scolded by Sun Yingao.
Hai Rui continued: "This Zhou Daozhi started making trouble, saying that Sun Ying'ao had humiliated him, and His Majesty wanted to visit the Imperial Academy. Sun Ying'ao was busy with etiquette matters and ignored him. As a result, on the day His Majesty went to the Imperial Academy, this Zhou Daozhi... Outside the Imperial Academy, he cried bitterly and rebuked Sun Ying'ao for all his crimes."
"What are the charges? Now that I hear it, I don't think there is anything wrong with Sun Ying'ao's handling." Zhu Yijun said doubtfully.
Hai Rui replied: "Zhou Daozhi said that Sun Ying'ao had three crimes. He said that throwing something back was red, not repairing the gate, and changing the etiquette. That is to say, he made Sun Ying'ao not accept Zhou Daozhi's gift and threw it back to him. He also said that Sun Ying'ao He is not a good person in private, and he also said that Sun Ying'ao simplified the etiquette of His Imperial Majesty's Imperial Academy."
"Oh, I understand, this Zhou Daozhi is from the retro style." Zhu Yijun finally understood.
Ma Ziqiang led the Ministry of Rites to revise the ritual notes of Jiaxing Taixue, greatly simplifying its process and allowing the emperor to be less busy.
Zhou Daozhi was very dissatisfied this week. In addition, he was scolded at Sun Yingao's private residence earlier, so he had to settle old and new grudges together.
Hai Rui continued: "In order to avoid delaying the ceremony, Zhou Daozhi was pulled away by everyone. He was so angry that he suddenly rushed into the corridor and wanted to meet the saint. When he was stopped, he cried bitterly and shouted: The beauty of heaven is so close. ! Sun Yingao, who was offering wine to the emperor, often turned back his private words and wiped his face with a sweat towel. He was a ginseng in science and education!"
"The ceremonial officer said that Sun Ying'ao only wiped his sweat twice and turned his head once. There was no danger of breaking the etiquette."
The Ming Dynasty's ceremonial officer was responsible for correcting etiquette. If Sun Ying'ao really ignored the solemnity of the occasion, whispered to each other, and kept wiping his sweat, he would definitely be corrected by the ceremonial officer.
Zhu Yijun said in amazement: "It's very interesting. Sun Ying'ao obviously didn't do anything wrong, but he was still impeaching Sun Ying'ao. But this Zhou Dao refused to let him kneel, and thought it was humiliating him. He also opposed simplifying the rituals and impeached important ministers over trivial matters. Sure enough, They are a bunch of cheap scholars, all carved from the same mold."
"This trend is changing. Sun Ying'ao is right. Even if Zhou Daozhi shouts at his throat, he doesn't care. The focus of the debate now is that some say you should kneel down when you are an official, and some say you shouldn't kneel down when you are an official."
Zhu Yijun thought for a while and asked, "What did Hou Yuzhao say?"
"Hou Yuzhao really came forward to report. He said that he was not in the capital and did not know the specific situation, so he did not dare to make a conclusion. However, even if this official kneels down, he still does not. Hou Yuzhao believes that he should not kneel down." Hai Rui answered truthfully. road.
"Look, he is still loyal to the emperor and the prince of the country is in Zhao. He can clearly understand it." Zhu Yijun smiled.
Hou Yuzhao is a very interesting person. He obviously wants to go with most people, but when expressing his own opinions, he talks a lot, which always reveals his loyal nature to the emperor and the country.
"What else did Hou Qing say?" Zhu Yijun asked curiously.
Hai Rui then said: "Hou Yuzhao also said that if you kneel, you will go to the hall on your knees without getting up to play the right. If you don't kneel, you will walk to the hall to salute and then stand up to play the right. How to tell the difference? Let everyone sign the list. Fill out the list, think it through and do it.”
"Hou Aiqing has quite a way!" Zhu Yijun was stunned and thought this method was wonderful!
One list for kneeling and one list for not kneeling. Whichever list you think is right, sign and stamp on that list. If you think you should kneel down to be an official, don’t you like kneeling down? In the future, when you go to the palace, you will walk on your knees and climb to the top of the palace.
Because His Majesty is more noble than Shangguan.
Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! ! ! ! ! !
