Zhenguan Wenzong System

Chapter 244 Victory with one against a hundred

Luo Yan quietly listened to one courtier after another attacking him.Whether it's framing or concocting crimes, Luo Yan always has a calm face, but there is no trace of calm in his heart.

If there is anything in his heart at this moment, then anger is the only answer.

Unexpectedly, in this situation, some people only care about criticizing themselves, but they don't care whether their methods are useful or not.If it is really selfish, his heart can be punished.But all the people who came out and accused him of being utilitarian were all remembered in his heart.Originally, Luo Yan had no sense of utilitarianism in this matter at all. On the contrary, he was prepared to lose power because of it.

But such a heartfelt heart, what he got was framed, and the reason was even more unfounded.How can this make him not hold grudges.

He doesn't have a sense of utilitarianism, but he does have a heart of vengeance.

After listening to a large group of people either throwing stones at you or trying their best to oppose it, and in the end basically everyone who can talk has finished, Luo Yan stood up as if he had just woken up, bowed to Li Shimin, and said: "Your Majesty, I have three questions, and I want to ask all the gentlemen in the hall. If you can answer all of them, I will not say anything, and accept your guilt obediently and beg to return home. But if you can’t tell, then you need to give me an explanation.”

What to explain?Everyone knows well that just now they said something bad about someone, but now they don't come out to refute it, how could it be Luo Yan's style.

Although Li Shimin didn't want Luo Yan to make things big.But he didn't stop everyone from slandering him before, if he stopped Luo Yan now, it would inevitably make Luo Yan feel dissatisfied.If other people have other things, that's all.But now the matter is of great importance, it is okay not to listen to Luo Yan now.In the future, if the situation gets serious and you have to resort to others' methods, then you won't lose all your face.

"Ask." In desperation, Li Shimin could only say bitterly.

"Dare to be you, what is the meaning of the so-called Son of Heaven?"

There is no need to ask, the Son of Heaven is not the Son of Heaven.Since the Han Dynasty, the name of the Son of Heaven has been called this way to show orthodoxy.Now even if Li Shimin's throne is wrong, who dares to talk nonsense.

Although he knew it well, no one dared to respond.Looking at the silent court, Luo Yan said to Pang Fengcheng with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Pang Shilang took the lead just now, and now I think he will not be left behind. How about letting Pang Shilang answer this question?"

Although I don't know why Luo Yan asked this question, I still feel a little bad in my heart.At this moment, when Luo Yan asked him to answer by name, Pang Fengcheng could only bite the bullet and say: "The son of heaven, naturally he is the son of heaven. He should obey the will of heaven, and he should shepherd Li Shu."

Pang Fengcheng's answer was extremely flattering, but this is also a Confucian recognition of the emperor, so it can only be said to be quite satisfactory.If what he said was more vague, or more flattering, Luo Yan would have to work hard to embarrass him.For the sake of caution, he gave such a standard answer. "Then, I'm sorry." Luo Yan thought to himself, but he didn't relax.

"Then, since your lords say that the locust plague is a natural disaster, the will of man cannot be violated. I don't know if opening a storehouse to relieve disasters is in accordance with the will of God, or is it going against the sky?"

"This, this..." In an instant, not only Pang Fengcheng, but also those who vociferously opposed Luo Yan's statement just now, were rendered speechless by this question.Calamity and catastrophe are considered punishment, so opening a warehouse for relief is indeed against the sky.But if you don't give relief, when the time comes, God's will will be in order, and people's hearts will be against it.This question is simply unsolvable.

Luo Yan cast his eyes on Pang Fengcheng, and continued to ask: "Pang Shilang, what do you think?"

"God has the virtue of good life." There was no way, Pang Fengcheng could only squeeze out this sentence from his teeth.Originally, he wanted to use such words to fool the past, but Luo Yan would never let him go.

"Since relief is a virtue, isn't it a virtue to eliminate pests in advance and save the people from disasters?"

Under the fierce pursuit and beating, Pang Fengcheng is not as high-spirited as he accused Luo Yan at that time.Cold sweat broke out from his forehead, and his slightly chubby body was shaking non-stop at this moment.It turned out that Luo Yan forced him into a corner with three questions.Said that the emperor's virtue is not enough?Or is it that the sky will send a great mission to the people?An answer that is too nonsense will not satisfy Luo Yan at all, but will attract more criticism.

For a moment Pang Fengcheng closed his eyes, lowered his head but stopped talking.

"Since that's the case, do you want to give me an explanation. Pang Shilang, Wang Jishizhong, Li Yushi..." After reading a lot of people's names, each of them was said to be utilitarian just now.While the ministers were surprised by Luo Yan's perverted memory, they also looked a little embarrassed.Especially those whose names were called, their faces flushed even more at this moment.

"Luo Yan, you are taking personal revenge." These people who were speechless could only reconstruct a crime and place it on Luo Yan.However, obviously disappointing them, Luo Yan did admit: "I am indeed taking revenge. But, should I clarify the matter of your malicious frame first?" With a sneer, Luo Yan was not afraid that things would get bigger and he would suffer.

After listening to Luo Yan's words, these people's faces turned ashen for a while.Although Luo Yan's official rank is not high, how big a crime is it to be accused of maliciously framing him in the court?
"All right, all right, you don't want to fire anymore. Those people who Luo Yan read their names just now will be fined one month's salary. As for Luo Yan, although there is a reason for the incident, you are very selfish, so you will also be fined one month's salary. As for the extermination The matter of locusts is settled like this. If we go down today, Zhongshu Province will pass it on to Gyeonggi, so that all parts of Gyeonggi Province will follow the law that Luo Yan said. In addition, outside Gyeonggi Province, let the local states and counties always observe, Once there are signs of a locust plague, immediately deal with it according to this method."

Li Shimin was also very happy to get the result he wanted.From Luo Yan's detailed theory on locust extermination, he found that if he followed exactly what it said, the effect would be extraordinary.

He didn't promise anything to Luo Yan, so Li Shimin just waited to see what would happen in all parts of Gyeonggi in a month's time.

The civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty dispersed with complicated emotions in the sound of retreating.Being called to the court meeting suddenly during Tianjiao, and also encountered such a painful thing, the officials said in their hearts that there was nothing unpleasant, it was definitely a lie.Luo Yan's clarification of the three questions at that time made many people feel confused.What is going on with this natural disaster?

Fang Xuanling came over with a dark complexion, and asked Luo Yan who was still standing there: "Jinzhi, what do you think about your three questions just now?"

Fang Xuanling's words represent the aspirations of many people, and they can't wait to know the answers to these questions.Therefore, the bodies that were about to turn around and leave stopped one by one, and stood there quietly waiting for Luo Yan's answer.

"Drought and floods are natural disasters, but every state and county builds water conservancy projects every year, and the Ministry of Household Affairs regards this as an aspect of evaluating the performance of officials. Locust plagues are also natural disasters. Is it necessary to sit helplessly and wait for death? In my opinion, everything that is harmful to life Those that harm the country are called disasters. They are nothing but evil spirits. How can they represent God's will. Birth, old age, sickness and death are all God's wills, so when I get sick and seek medical treatment, it is against the heavens. From this point of view, God's will is just urging us to live better That's all."

Feeling the narrow vision of this era, what Luo Yan said made Fang Xuanling a little dizzy.But he understood the reason behind it, and with a look of sudden realization, he patted Luo Yan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's a pity that I waited for dozens of years, but I didn't see it as clearly as a young man like you. You are right, anyone who damages Shengli Sheji is evil. Now, we will fight this locust plague."

In everything, a teacher should be famous, and this important matter of exterminating locusts happens to be based on what Luo Yan said.After thinking about it, no one dared to say that the plague of locusts was God's will.

Lantian County.

Chen Yuru had a hard time these two days.Hearing Luo Yan's suggestion, he didn't think much about it, and issued a document according to the instructions, telling Sili Baxiang that they must do what the document said.In order to ensure that this matter can be carried out as much as possible, he even borrowed Luo Yan's name and told the people that it was Luo Yan Xingye who came to tell him.

However, he was too optimistic.It is true that the common people love Luo Yan.But the belief in God for hundreds of years has completely overshadowed the trust in Luo Yan.Although there are reports from every village that how many buckets of locust eggs have been picked out, or how many fields have been raked with iron rakes.But when we really went to the field to see, there were no traces of the land being moved.What was reported before was completely a lie.

Some more stubborn old people said: "The locust plague is a disaster from the sky. How can a brat like Luo Yan understand it. Don't resist, just bear it obediently." Such words reached Chen Yuru's ears, and she was really angry. Made him fly into a rage.

At this moment, how much he wished that there would be more sensible people in Lantian County.The accidental birth was only done by him and Luo Yan, and no one had agreed to it at all.Originally, relying on labor and relief could forcefully apportion this matter, but there is no official document ordering the control of locusts, so it is illegal for him to do so.Seeing more and more locusts in the field, Chen Yuru was very anxious.

On the third day after Luo Yan left, Chen Yuru sat in the government office feeling depressed.Just as he was about to go to the countryside again to persuade those stubborn old farmers that the locusts must be exterminated, he suddenly heard someone outside saying that a document had come from Beijing.

Although I don't know the content, but just coming from the capital is enough for Chen Yuru to take it seriously.After the postman delivered the document, Chen Yuru signed the receipt, and sent someone to reward the postman, then went into the house and opened the document to check.

"I heard that there are signs of locust plagues in various parts of the capital, and all states and counties are specially ordered to deal with it strictly in the following ways..." The signature is the official seal of the Ministry of Households.Chen Yuru yelled hello, and the depression of the past few days was swept away.

He walked out the door with the paperwork, only to hear him muttering to himself: "Now I can finally let go of this matter."
