Chapter 12

In the morning from five watch to noon, the courtiers still hadn't finished reading all the scriptures.I saw them standing on the court hall one by one and still crumbling, and I didn't bother to punish them too much, so the courtiers hurried home after eating.In order to set an example, I also finished my lunch at Chaoshang before leaving.In this regard, Yue Zhi didn't understand my thoughts, or Yue Zhi didn't know what I was doing from the beginning to the end.I understand that this is the thinking deviation caused by the gap of the times.It's normal for Yue Zhi not to understand for a while, it depends on how I subtly influence him.Faced with Yue Zhi's doubts, I talked to him with the kindness of an elder.

"Do you think my actions are inhumane, hurt the face of the ministers, and even destroy the friendship between the monarch and the ministers?"

"Please forgive me for your rudeness. Brother Huang's move is indeed too extreme. He doesn't care about the face of the court ministers. With such a strong method, I'm afraid that troubles will happen in the future." Yue Zhi said very firmly.

"Since this is the case, what will you do, Azhi?" The process of education is to guide, to draw out the interest and ideas of the learners, to praise what is reasonable, and to pay attention to what is childish and ridiculous, especially when the person you want to teach is a person When you're an adult with your own mind.I don't claim to be an educator, but once I've been here, I've been the king here, and I have to leave something to this dynasty and society, such as ideas.

I quietly listened to Yue Zhi's eloquent talk: "My brother thinks that there are many chapters in the officials' report. I don't know the meaning, but there is something inappropriate. Brother Huang wants to change this situation. Why don't you choose a memorial from among the ministers that is relatively concise?" If you are a great person, you should appreciate it greatly, and as time goes by, all the officials should pursue what they like, and this burdensome memorial will be self-defeating? Wouldn’t this approach satisfy the emperor’s wishes and save the courtiers’ face.”

After listening to Yue Zhi's countermeasures, I deeply feel that the road to teaching is far away.I patted Yue Zhi on the shoulder, and I asked, "Brother, do you think officials are right or wrong in adding pen and ink to Shangshu's notebooks?"

Yue Zhi reacted quickly: "Of course it's wrong."

"Okay, then tell me where he made this mistake, and what kind of adverse effect does it have?" I continued to ask, "Don't rush to answer, you should think about it carefully."

Yue Zhi looked at me suspiciously, as if I was messing around, but I just smiled kindly.This made him a little embarrassed, but he started to think hard.I'm not in a hurry, I'll just sit and drink tea and wait for his answer.It was only time for a cup of tea, Yue Zhi had an answer, I put down the empty teacup and looked at him: "Tell me, what did you think of."

Yue Zhi stepped forward and said: "I don't know what the emperor's brother thinks, but I think that the courtiers' behavior will greatly hinder political affairs. If a trivial matter can be filled with thousands of words, then if it is really a big event , can’t we come up with a grand system? This is too exaggerated and not pragmatic. If we talk about bad effects, I’m afraid it’s the effect of others, and the whole country won’t be able to find a pragmatic official.”

After hearing this, my eyes lit up. This point of view is very novel. It’s just that the point of entry is a little off, but it’s not too far away. So I smiled knowingly and praised: “What my brother said is very true, but I have to add A few points. First, occupying limited resources, second, improper work attitude, and third, causing bad influence." Yue Zhi was very surprised when he saw me popping three fingers, and said, "Although I don't understand, it seems Very powerful”, so I was even more curious about what I would say.

"I'll start from the first point." I stood up and turned my back to Yue Zhi, "Resources are a broad term, property is a resource, land is a resource, population is a resource, and even time can be a resource And what I said, the limited resources occupied refer to resources at the political level. For example, I can use a cup of tea time to write an imperial edict, dispatch border defense troops, and I can also use it to read a book of rhetoric Magnificent, exaggerated memorial. Therefore, at the same time, the benefits brought about by the things I do are very different. If it is unlucky on that day, a memorial that asked me about the specifications for receiving envoys was suppressed at the bottom , I spent a lot of time on the previous memorial, so I missed it. Then when the envoy arrived the next day, the Ministry of Rites made a mistake in etiquette. Who will bear the responsibility? Political resources are limited, because I only have A person, without superpowers, can deal with government affairs within a fixed range in a day, so why waste my energy with unimportant things?

"The second point, I'm talking about the courtiers' dereliction of duty in another sense. The court is at five o'clock every day, before dawn, and the ministers who live in various places outside the palace have to wake up. It was earlier than me. Did they work hard? Naturally they worked hard. Are they loyal to their duties? Naturally they are loyal. But in my opinion, they are only competent in behavior, and their minds are not as devoted as their actions. Among them No one realizes how much trouble a small memorial will involve. They don't realize that doing so is making a mistake. When a person makes a mistake without knowing it, this person is terrible, Because he has lost his vigilance, sooner or later it will lead to a catastrophe. The court should not play games.

"Then there is the third point. You are also aware of this, but the bad influence is more than what you mentioned. This unhealthy trend not only affects the work style of the officials of the Great Yin, but also subtly affects the people's attitude towards The senses of the imperial court. This is an untrustworthy imperial court. This is a hypocritical court. Even if such a court does any bad things, it is expected. Living under the governance of this court will be very unreliable, like It will be like an earthquake. When a court loses its people, then it is not far from being destroyed."

Yue Zhimeng raised his head, his eyes stared at the boss: "Brother Huang, be careful what you say! The monarch and ministers are in harmony, the world is peaceful, and the government will last forever. Brother Huang, don't say such words again!"

With Yue Zhi's fierce reaction, I also realized that my remarks, especially the latter, were too radical.In the feudal era, I certainly didn't realize what the vast ocean of the people was. I had to find a way to remedy it, and then said: "Brother, do you know the truth that water can carry a boat and also capsize it? If the people are meek, the sea is calm, and the people are rebellious." The wind is high and the waves are dangerous. A king ultimately governs the people, and to govern the people is to govern the people's hearts. The people's hearts are determined to make the world safe." I went back after a good time, and this kind of brainwashing work is really not suitable for me.

Yue Zhi raised his head to look into my eyes, I had no choice but to look at him, I saw him laughing suddenly, and my heart trembled: "Ah Zhi, why does he look like this?" I got goosebumps from laughing.

"Brother Huang, I just didn't expect Brother Huang to be so thoughtful. I think we think so highly of ourselves."

Wait, dear brother, what are you talking about?Why can't I understand a word?

"Brother Huang, I want to bid farewell to you."

Now it's my turn to be startled: "Azhi, what are you talking about? Say it again?"

However, Yue Zhi lifted up the hem of his clothes twice, plopped and knelt down in front of me and began to plead guilty: "Brother, forgive me, I didn't hide it on purpose, but there is a reason for it. When the father passed the throne to you when he was dying, he still didn't feel at ease. I ordered my grandfather to enter the palace secretly, leaving an imperial decree, hoping that my grandfather can supervise the conduct of the new emperor, and design a test if necessary. If the emperor's elder brother has no qualifications, then my grandfather and his younger brothers will be regents together. When a prince is born in the harem, it is good to cultivate the throne Heir. It is obvious that the father is worrying too much. Although the emperor has been free and loose for many years, he is broad-minded and wise. He is the best candidate for the monarch. There is no point in staying in the capital. "

If the scene didn't allow it, I would have to scratch my ears, what did I hear?The person most likely to take over the throne doesn't have the slightest sense of disobedience, and plans to go home happily?You actually formed a group to trick me?

"Azhi, you... oh, you really..." I didn't know what to say for a moment.Holding the table and rubbing my forehead, I shouted to Chen Fu who was waiting outside the door, "Go, bring Prime Minister Zhang to Zichen Palace!"

Chen Fu trotted away to follow his orders, while I stared fixedly at Yue Zhi.Yue Zhi bowed his head and remained silent, as if he was willing to be beaten or punished.Seeing his appearance, I was so angry that I trembled and pointed at him: "You, just kneel down for me! Don't think about it until Zhang Yuli arrives!" Yue Zhi was meaningless, even his eyelids Don't lift it.

Inexplicably, I became even angrier. I picked up the teacup on the table with one hand and wanted to drink it. When I brought it to my mouth, I realized that I had finished drinking it. It's like a steel nail is pierced under the foot.The more I thought about it, the more I couldn't understand that Yue Zhi, the son of a dignified empress and the heir to the throne, acted so frankly, not caring at all that his position was taken by others.Is this a big heart or a disease?I rushed up to him and wanted to ask, do you have some conspiracy, why don't you want to be the emperor?But there is no ground for my questioning. As an emperor, I dream of others coveting my position all day long. This is probably the disease in the hearts of everyone.

Then just like that, I held my breath, Yue Zhi made a saw-mouth gourd, and carried it until Prime Minister Zhang arrived.

As soon as Prime Minister Zhang entered the door, he saw Yue Zhi kneeling on the ground. He panicked, took two steps to run up, and knelt in front of me with a flutter: "Your Majesty calmed down. It was all the old minister's idea. King Qin only listened to the old minister's words." You have cheated His Majesty, if you want to punish him, please punish the old minister!"

Oops, I was so angry: "Cooperating with you is emphasizing love and righteousness. Is it because I am making trouble for no reason? Okay, okay, it was me who made trouble for no reason. Since you are too tired to stand, let's all kneel!" I shook Sleeves, and walked out with a black face.Is this old and young kid playing me for a fool?Thinking about what I said and did these past few days, I felt a burning pain on my face, and I wished I could find a crack in the ground and sneak in!I'm such a two hundred and fifty!

The author has something to say:

The matter of eating lunch was also agreed very late. After the death, due to the problem of productivity level, everyone only eats twice a day.However, I casually wrote about eating lunch in the previous chapter, and I am too lazy to change it now, as if the three-meal-a-day system is also popular in Da Yin.
