Iron Dynasty - Chapter 1056
All the ministers in the Hall of Justice and Brightness held their breath, the air seemed to be condensed, and everyone seemed to be able to hear their own heartbeat.
Since Xiao Ming’s accession to the throne, the empire has conquered a vast territory in the south and the north, so most of the discussions in the courtroom are foreign affairs.
Today, so many officials are suddenly punished in front of them, which makes them feel cold behind their backs. After all, how many clean people are in the court?
“The emperor, the minister, as the head of the Fei family, failed to discipline his clansmen, he deserves death!”
When everyone was in a state of anxiety, Fiji suddenly knelt down, tears down, and the eyes of the officials all fell on Fiji. Some officials lightly breathed a sigh of relief, while others paled with fright.
Xiao Ming sneered. Fiji belonged to his father-in-law, but they were even the monarchs and ministers. He said, “In that case, it’s up to you to tell the story.”
Fiji lowered his head, and Xiao Ming’s tone of business affairs made him even more uncomfortable. Even if he was not implicated this time, the Fiji family would probably be stripped of half of their skin.
hesitated for a while, he was decisively preparing to abandon his **** to protect the commander. He knew Xiao Ming better than any other. The emperor seemed to be careless about the government, but in fact he had a clear heart, and he also had principles that he could not touch.
If anyone crosses the red line, it must be unlucky. His Fei family seems to be in the best place now, but if Xiao Ming only nods his head, the huge Fei family will probably disappear.
“Yesterday morning, Sun Feitong, the younger brother of the courtier, had a dispute over the seat of the nobleman and the poor family. He then drew a knife and stabbed this student. After making a big mistake, Feitong not only did not repent, but instead instigated the scholar to go to Feis house to ask his father. He used the money in his hands to buy the News Department Li Ran, the head of Qingzhou Senior High School, and the guard station to suppress the matter. Fei Yu did not distinguish between the big and the wrong, and made mistakes. The veteran had already reprimanded them yesterday. As for Feitong, he violated it. Regarding imperial laws, dividends must never be paid, and the emperor should punish them severely!” Fiji said in a deep voice.
“You have heard what Elder Fei Ge said.” Xiao Ming glanced at the ministers, “Today, you may wish to express your opinions on this matter and make it clear.”
Pang Yukun glanced at Fiji, who was kneeling on the ground, and first went out and said: “The emperor, Fei Tong’s injury to others is certainly due to lack of discipline and hegemony, but the deeper reason for this incident is the poor family and the nobles. According to the veteran, the students of Qingzhou Senior High School who were born in the poor family were clearly distinguished from the students from the noble family. Privately, there were even the rules of the nobles sitting east and the cold door west. .”
After a pause, he said, “It seems that Feitong hurt people yesterday by accident, but in fact it is inevitable. In recent years, many students have dropped out of the college because they were unbearable and humiliated. The common people also complained about this injustice. Look at the emperor clearly.”
Zhan Xingchang then went out and said loudly: “The emperor, this distinction is not only in the school, it is everywhere in the world, the empire has made rapid progress in science and technology over the years, but the thinking of the nobles in the great Yu country has not changed at all. Its just that with the popularization of education, the wisdom of the people has been developed. If you cannot adapt to local conditions and adapt to the current situation, I am afraid that there will be major disturbances in the future.
When the two of them finished their words, the court ministers suddenly began to whisper, with different looks.
Ge Yiren slowly stood up at this time and said, “The emperor, the duty of the emperor, the emperor, is to uphold the three of rituals, divisions, and naming. What is the ritual? Ji Gang is also, it is said that the emperor is the minister and father is the son , Husband is the key to wife; what is division? It is only the difference between monarch and minister, what is the name? Gonghou, uncle, and male.”
Turning around and looking at Pang Yukun, Ge Yiren continued: “Now that the empire is vast, with thousands of people, all of them are controlled by the emperor, all because the emperor rules the cabinet, the cabinet rules over a hundred officials, and a hundred officials control the generals. The precious is to face the low, and the low is to inherit the high. Confucius said: “Heaven is inferior to the earth, the universe is determined, the inferior is high to Chen, and the noble and the low are in position. “Speaking of the position of monarch and minister, the distinction between noble and inferior is still not easy to change. The royal family of husband and Zhou is declining, and the princes of the world dare not disrespect, all because of this.”
“Old Ge Ge said that the distinction between noble and inferior is a great gift. The ancient and modern sages must not obey, but also hope that the emperor will think twice.” Wang Chengye, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, stood up.
Xiao Ming frowned deeply. If Ge Yiren was placed hundreds of years ago, he might clap his hands and praise, because in that savage and ignorant era, this kind of thinking is needed to maintain the country’s rule.
But the times are different now. Time has entered the eighteenth century, and the way of managing the country by relying on scholar-bureaucrats and feudal ideas has fallen behind.
In the era of the modern era, it is more necessary for the people to unite and exert their potential to make the country and the nation stronger. The pedantic class of scholar-officials should have been thrown into the garbage dump of history.
In today’s court, Ge Yiren and Wang Chengye openly call upon the scholar-official class, which makes him extremely angry, because it can be seen that the promotion of New Confucianism must be mixed with a lot of private goods.
Forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, Xiao Ming said; “Old Ge Ge quoted the scriptures, and there is something in the words, and he does not lose the erudite name, but every word of yours is pulling the empire back!”
While talking~~ Xiao Ming slapped his arm in angrily and stood up abruptly, “When I was the king of Qi, the land of the six states was hungry and perished, withered and desolate. Its not that I am good at using peoples hearts, being kind to the people, giving them real benefits so as to condense the peoples hearts and destroy the wealthy and powerful and rise here. I am afraid that the Great Yu country has already been reduced to a racetrack of the barbarians. Since then, I have known the people. To the country, it is like water to a boat. We are just boaters, so beware of awe.”
Walking step by step in front of Ge Yiren and Wang Chengye, Xiao Ming circled around the two and said; “I have written these principles in Neo-Confucianism. It seems that Ge Ge Lao hasn’t remembered a single word, and what’s more, your polite courtesy. If it is so useful, why there are dynasties in history, as well as insurgents and thieves. It can be seen that these are just idiots. What I only remember is that the dynasty will prosper if it obeys the people and perish if it rebels against the people.
Xiao Ming’s words fell, the ministers were all silent, and Yang Chengye’s eyes were full of tears. He bowed and said: “The words of the emperor moved the ministers. The empire has an emperor, and the people have an emperor is a great fortune.”
Ge Yiren and Wang Chengye’s faces are extremely ugly, Xiao Ming is equivalent to giving them two mouths naked in front of everyone.
With an inexplicable smile at the corner of his mouth, Xiao Ming looked at Ge Yiren, “Old Ge Ge, since you have not thoroughly studied Neo-Confucianism, you will go home and study it carefully. When will you be thoroughly studied and comprehend, come to court again, as for the Ministry of Rites, It’s time to withdraw!”
Wang Chengye’s face was pale when he heard the words, his knees softened, and he knelt on the ground with a “plop”. ) Download the free reader!!
