The reason why Xu Youzhen has become an indispensable minister in today's court is, on the one hand, his down-to-earth character and extraordinary ability, and on the other hand, his ability to figure out the Sacred Heart. To put it bluntly, he can do what he can. When ordinary people do things, they can beat the dragon's fart.
Both are indispensable.
The look in His Majesty the Emperor's eyes and Jiang Yuan's attitude made Xu Youzhen know that he had said the wrong thing. Xu Youzhen's head was running rapidly, thinking about how to make up for what he had just said, Jiang Yuan seized the opportunity and stood up from the chair. He stood up and said: "Your Majesty, what I said is true. The censor of Xudu will definitely not support the creation of official newspapers. Your Majesty, this time, some take it for granted. The creation of official newspapers will have no effect."
When Xu Youzhen heard this, he glanced at Jiang Yuan. He knew that his last chance to make a comeback was ended by Jiang Yuan, an old fox. If he wanted to take back his words again, he would have to use traditional craftsmanship. Don't Face.
However, Xu Youzhen's shamelessness has become her biggest advantage from a fifth-grade official to this point today.
Zhu Jianshen showed an ugly smile at this time.
Xu Youzhen felt that she had been hasty, and Zhu Jianshen felt that he had fallen into Jiang Yuan's trick.
He originally asked Xu Youzhen to play to help him speak, but under the provocation of Jiang Yuan, an old fox, he lost his sense of proportion and went in the opposite direction. Xu Youzhen was also an ancient person, and what he saw was still somewhat different from what he saw. the difference.
Xu Youzhen came over, but instead of being a help to him, it became a stumbling block for him to launch an official newspaper.
It is equivalent to the Jade Emperor summoning the Tathagata Buddha to deal with Sun Monkey, but the Tathagata Buddha rebelled and struck the Lingxiao Palace with the long-lost Tathagata Palm, beating the Jade Emperor to a pulp.
After hearing Jiang Yuan's words, Xu Youzhen knew that she was really wrong. After a brief thought, she quickly stood up from the chair.
"Jiang Shangshu, haven't I finished speaking yet? Why did you jump to conclusions so quickly?"
Jiang Yuan looked at Xu Youzhen and couldn't help but think, I have never seen such a shameless person.
If you have said something, can you take it back?
"Censor of Xudu, what else do you have to say?" Jiang Yuan said coldly.
"There is some truth in what your Majesty said about the benefits of official reports. They can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If official reports are made public and can do practical things for the people and integrate the people of the court, wouldn't it be a representative of the country's strength? What I just said This is all an opinion of Wang Wen himself. Jiang Shangshu also knows that at the beginning of the new tax system, Wang Wen was a representative of the die-hards and scorned the new tax system. What I just said is all a reflection on Wang Wen. There are some biased views, but there is no dissatisfaction in launching an official report on his proposal.”
After Jiang Yuan listened to Xu Youzhen's words, he had only one idea.
Where is the face.
Do you want more?
What you just said clearly is that the new official report is deceptive and will lead to beheading. Now that you feel something is wrong, just retract your confession.
You have to know that you are a reader.
Do you really not want the most basic moral integrity of a scholar?
Jiang Yuan's face looked ugly.
His Majesty the Emperor's face looked better.
Seeing all this, Xu Youzhen also breathed a sigh of relief.
Whose world is this? It belongs to His Majesty the Emperor.
Who gave me this official position? It was given by His Majesty the Emperor.
So, do you want this face or not? I definitely don’t want it.
Losing face and losing grace.
Shameless, Your Majesty takes it seriously.
Anyone with a brain knows how to choose.
As long as His Majesty is happy, I will be happy. As long as His Majesty wants to do something, I will charge into the battle. How can I, Xu Youzhen, be a person who puts loyalty to the emperor before patriotism?
In fact, patriotism is just an ideological thing, and loyalty to the monarch can be truly rewarded.
One person represents one country.
Zhu Jianshen represents the Ming Dynasty, he is the Ming Dynasty.
This is also the biggest difference between Xu Youzhen and Yu Qian.
Yu Qian was loyal to the country, to the people, and later to the monarch, while Xu Youzhen said that the country and the people were all illusory, and His Majesty the Emperor really existed, and Zhu Jianshen had not done anything that harmed the country and the people in these years. thing, and Xu Youzhen also has his own judgment. If it is really a matter of subverting the country, he will definitely not support His Majesty's decision.
But now the Ming Dynasty is booming, expanding its territory externally, and appeasing the people internally. This is the continuation of Renxuan's rule. Even if His Majesty the Emperor does something innocuous and wrong, it is allowed.
"Huh, Xu Du Yushi, everyone in the court knows that you have a good ability to adapt to the changing circumstances. I still don't believe it. Now it seems that you are really smart and able to adapt to the changing circumstances. You are indeed very capable, but you don't know how to be smart but you are misled by your cleverness." Jiang Yuan said calmly.
"Jiang Shangshu, I have always respected you. I feel that among all the officials, you are the only one who is down-to-earth and willing to work. But you misunderstood me like this. I just want to tell you. I haven't finished speaking yet. You can It's your fault for jumping to conclusions, how can you say that I just followed the wind?" Xu Youzhen's chubby face was full of calmness, and when she said something against her will, she didn't feel any strange at all.
How does His Majesty the Emperor feel at this time?
Comfortable.
Very comfortable.
Whether it is a foolish monarch or a wise and promising monarch, there is no shortage of officials who can both do things and flatter them.
He was lucky to have Xu Youzhen.
However, Zhu Jianshen also knew that putting all the pressure on Xu Youzhen now was due to the monarch's haste. He hurriedly said: "Jiang Aiqing, I have already said that Xu Du Yushi has no objection to the launch of the official report. Now you have nothing to say."
Jiang Yuan sighed: "I have nothing to say, but Your Majesty, what I said is what the Ming Dynasty thinks. It is not a good opportunity to launch an official report. I also know that at this time, no one in the court can stop your Majesty's judgment." , but I still want to say one thing, it will take a long time for Your Majesty to become an eternal wise king, so you must not do anything rashly, Your Majesty."
"The necessary condition for creating an official newspaper to inform national policies and major policies is that the people can read and write, and be able to distinguish right from wrong. We must first open up the people's wisdom, not as it is now. If your Majesty really wants to create an official newspaper, the first step is, That is to set up public private schools among the people, so that the people can study and read in private schools without spending money. After two consecutive generations, the official newspaper can be established. In this way, the official newspaper can be established as your majesty thinks and wants. The creation at this time is just a waste of national power and money, and it is destined not to last long, Your Majesty..."
Zhu Jianshen was deeply touched as he watched Jiang Yuan's confession with tearful eyes.
Perhaps Confucian classics really created a group of refined egoists, but it is undeniable that he also created a group of heroes who dared to be the first in the world.
It's just that in the Ming and Qing Dynasties in real history, sophisticated interestists stood on the winning side of the struggle, but this does not mean that the ideas that have existed for two thousand years are all dross, and the civilization that has existed for five thousand years is useless.
Let me ask you, from ancient times to the present, which thought or civilization has truly gone through five thousand years under the wind and rain. It cannot be completely denied because of a temporary failure, nor can it be arrogant and complacent because of a temporary success. Thoughts need to be improved, and the development of the nation also needs to be thought about.
To create a newspaper, we must allow the people to have the ability to think independently. We must allow the people to become self-reliant and understand the major policies of the court. It can also be said that ordinary people can become qualified prime ministers.
This is a bad thing for the ruler, but it is a great thing for a nation and a civilization.
"I know what Aiqing is thinking about, and I will spend the rest of my life to accomplish what Aiqing wants. Fighting foreign wars is my obsession. Making the people live a prosperous and healthy life is what I want in my life, and what all Han people want. My lifelong wish, Jiang Aiqing, is an official newspaper. You have told me so much. It is really my good fortune, the good fortune of the Ming Dynasty, and the good fortune of all people..."
Xu Youzhen listened on the sidelines, wondering in her heart, what is going on? Why is His Majesty the Emperor and Jiang Yuan starting to stir up emotions now? Aren't they talking about official newspapers? Why are they suddenly in a free private school? His thoughts are jumping. It’s too serious, even someone as smart as me can’t keep up...
