eldest son of Ming dynasty

Whenever Jin Yiwei begins to strengthen his presence, the literati will probably not use any good words to describe this matter.

The noisy sound can be heard through the memorial to the emperor.

The two cabinet ministers in Nanjing did not have time to draft the memorials for the emperor, so most of these memorials were sent to Jin Gui and Yang Shen in simplified form, who showed them to the emperor.

Zhu Houzhao was angry, and this matter was going to get serious.

"Call Jin Gui."

You Zhi fled immediately.

After a while, Jin Gui came to see him and said, "I am here to see you, Your Majesty."

"Get up." Zhu Houzhao was lowering his head and struggling to write something, "There was a censor named Fan Zhihe. He gave me a book and taught me to learn the Analects again. He said that my wife was unkind. Then the people will be without virtue; if the people are without virtue, there will be chaos. I also replied to him, do you think this is feasible?"

You Zhi took the memorial that the emperor had approved with both hands.

Jin Gui took a closer look and saw that Zhu also wrote in the Analects of Confucius: Since ancient times, there has been death, and people cannot stand without faith.

Sacred classics must be understood by those who are familiar with them.The meaning of these ten words alone is that people have always had to die since ancient times. If the people do not trust their rulers, then the country cannot exist.

In fact, some of the prefaces do not match the postscripts.

But this sentence is also an interception. It is completely Zigong asking how to govern the country. Confucius said three points: sufficient food, sufficient armaments, and the people trust the ruler.

Zigong asked what if one item must be eliminated?Confucius said to get rid of armaments.Zigong asked again, what about removing one more item?Confucius said to get rid of the grain.

That is to say, the people's trust in the country is the most important.

Anyway, no one is immune to death, but trust cannot be lost.

Of course, Jin Gui was familiar with Confucian classics and understood at a glance, "Your Majesty is saying that the people have already reported these evildoers. If the court does not take action, it will be a breach of trust by the people."

Zhu Houzhao is no longer the same Zhu Houzhao. In his previous life, he was uneducated and incompetent. In this life, he has to communicate with these literati and can only study.

Otherwise, if someone gives him a sentence that has no preface and follow-up, and might be scolding him, but still taking it as a nice word, it would be a big shame.

"Return this Zhu Zhu to him. Didn't he say that he wants to be benevolent? Go in person and bring this guy to the scene of the trial and let him see how the people testify against the evil thieves. How can these two parties be merciful? , How to treat him favorably, and let him understand the repercussions!"

"Yes, Wei Chen obeys the order."

Not only that, Zhu Houzhao said when Jin Gui was about to turn around, "Wait a minute, you have to take care of him and ask him to write well. I will make this memorial memorial public to the world."

Yushi Yanguan often 'pays attention' to his own reputation.

Zhu Houzhao doesn't hit these people or reduce their official positions, or he just ignores him and stifles these trolls. This kind is relatively mild, and the other is to catch their pain points. Do you want to be famous?How can it be so easy? If you don't manage well, you will be embarrassed!

This kind of thing depends on how he quibbles.

If he still insists on his opinion, Zhu Houzhao will use the real suffering of the people to expose this guy's reputation.

If he changes his mind again, he will still laugh at him: Zhao Kuo and his ilk.

This means that they are talking about military affairs on paper and do not understand what national affairs are at all.

All in all, Zhu Houzhao has experience in fighting with this group of people over the years, that is, don't be limited to fighting with words, this is what they are good at.Instead, we must leave words and speak with facts and practice.

One of the more exciting things happened in the seventh year of Zhengde.

At that time, everything in the country was normal, and the emperor and ministers were in harmony.

As a result, suddenly there was a commentator, saying that it was against the ancestral system and inconsistent with etiquette for the emperor to allow Western teachers to teach the royal heirs. He then talked about the incredible influence of the previous period, and also said that the Ming Dynasty was prosperous, not only that there were many universities in the court Scholars, there are many sages in the countryside, why should we turn to a few barbarians for help?
There is more or less a purpose behind this kind of suggestion: it is to feel that the opportunity to get close to the eldest son of the emperor has been taken away by others.

Furthermore, by making a name for scholars all over the world, you can also earn some fame.

As a result, I didn't expect that the emperor's instructions were absolutely perfect.

The emperor said that this memorial is very good. Since you said that there are many rural sages, you will be given three months to find five.The requirements are of course the same. If a Western teacher can teach foreign languages, he must also be able to teach arithmetic, navigation and have enough knowledge.

This guy was dumbfounded. Where could he find it?
He had no choice but to tell Shangshu that he believed there were such talents in Ming Dynasty, but he didn't know them.

What is this called?Isn't this nonsense to the emperor?So Zhu Houzhao humiliated him and demoted him to the rank of ninth-rank county magistrate.

People are afraid of being too sincere.

Now Jin Gui brought this sincerity to Fan Zhihe, and naturally he had to give oral instructions, and two guards followed him.

Fan Zhihe was immediately dumbfounded. He just heard about it and wanted to clear things up. What was he going to do?
"Let's go, I heard that the trial has started at Mr. Ge's side."

The scene of a case trial does not have the warm and leisure atmosphere of a scholar. People who dare to sign and pledge to sue these powerful bullies basically have deep hatred.
Before Jin Gui brought the people closer, he heard someone shouting heartbreakingly, "...give back my son's life!"

Fan Zhihe probably heard it too, and he started to swallow.

Jin Gui reminded him without emotion, "Fan Yushi, just watching and listening is nothing. The emperor's oral instruction is to ask you to understand the echo and explain what you said in the memorial. If the wife is unkind, the people will be ungrateful. What do you mean, how should you be benevolent? To whom should you be benevolent? These all need to be explained clearly."

"Attendant Jin." Fan Zhihe said with a sullen look on his face as his upper and lower teeth chattered: "I would like to ask Attendant Jin to enlighten me, your majesty...what does your majesty mean by this? Why do you have to come down to watch such a scene?"

"Your Majesty wants Fan Yushi to explain what benevolence is."

Fan Zhihe's scalp went numb, "Benevolence is benevolence! If you implement benevolent government, the people will not be able to make a living, and the top and bottom will collect profits and the country will be in danger. Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. This is all benevolence!"

"Your Majesty knows what you are talking about. Your Majesty wants you to explain what is called benevolence here?"

Fan Zhihe is really going crazy.Explain what?Confucius, Mencius, and Xunzi all explained that benevolence is the most basic concept. What does this mean? !This is obviously to make things difficult for him!

Jin Gui saw that he didn't ask any more questions, so he stopped talking.

He asked others to wait outside, and then he went in to communicate with Wang Bing. After that, Fan Zhihe was brought to the scene of the case trial.

……

The emperor's behavior really shocked all the officials in Nanjing.

Xie Tizhong and others were discussing that the emperor did not violate the custom of not killing officials, but he did not kill people but punished his heart.

People were being taken away one by one on the streets outside, and the Yushi Yanguan seemed to have no good effect. They had no choice but to knock on the palace door and ask to see the emperor.
