Your Majesty, please do not

Although he was the only one in the room who noticed Liang Huan's arrival, he still wanted to stand up and salute.However, before the buttocks left the chair, they were pushed back.

Liang Huan glared at him, and whispered, "I'm just here to see you, don't make any noise."

Chen Zhi had no choice but to sit back obediently and continue listening to the class with his head down.Only then did he realize that he was not going to court today, no wonder Liang Huan came here in the morning.

However, even if he doesn't go to court, he should still have a lot of things to do, right?I didn't have any problems with myself, what's so good about it?

Cheng Wei obviously didn't realize that there was an extra "student" in the room, and he still talked about "Mencius".

"This article "Mencius Meets King Hui of Liang" talks about the debate between righteousness and benefit, and you must be familiar with it. So who can say, in today's world, where should justice be governed, and where should profit be governed?"

After he finished speaking, these students were taken aback for a moment. It was the first time they saw Mr. giving a lecture and asking them to comment on current affairs.Besides, in the Imperial Academy, no one dared to speak easily.

Cheng Wei had no choice but to take Xu Gong who was sitting in the first row for surgery: "Zhuangyuan Lang, can you tell me?"

Suddenly being called out, Xu Gong jumped in shock, scratched his head and stood up, after thinking for a long time, he said guiltyly: "The sage said that we should sacrifice profit for righteousness, so naturally we should rule with righteousness..."

The atmosphere became very embarrassing, and Cheng Wei didn't know how to refute Xu Gong's answer that people didn't know what to say.

After a stalemate for a while, the first to stand up was Yan Weihang next to Xu Gong. He pushed Xu Gong back to his seat, and said in a calm but dull voice: "Education by ritual and music should be governed by righteousness, and businessmen should be governed by profit." , use different methods for different things.”

"Okay, sit down." Cheng Wei nodded, which is still a normal answer.Moreover, Yan Weihang is almost the same age as himself, so he should give him some face.

At this time, Jia Xuan, who was sitting in the back, couldn't hold back anymore.He is the second in this year's list, with a burly figure and a pair of eyes that are always in a daze, showing no signs of outstanding literary talent.He had already had an opinion in his heart, and when he saw that the two people in front had said it, he immediately raised his hand and stood up.

"Students think that when it comes to governing officials, it is especially important to argue for righteousness and profit. In the past, officials were governed with righteousness, but they often imposed harsh taxes for injustice. Now they govern officials with profit, and they are harsh on the people and rich in officials..."

The statement in the last row felt worried when he heard this, tugged Jia Xuan's clothes from behind, and said in a low voice, "Stop talking."

Jia Xuan felt that someone was pulling him, looked back at the statement, but did not hear his words, and continued: "Although everyone in the court has read the articles of sages, they are still mercenary. So the only way to lure them... "

Immediately after the statement, he raised his voice and said again: "Stop talking."

He could already hear that what Jia Xuan said was Ouyang Qing's idea, and saying this in front of Liang Huan was clearly courting death.Although he is not familiar with Jia Xuan at all, he doesn't want to watch someone court death.

This time Jia Xuan heard what he said, but he ignored him completely, and spoke more and more vigorously: "The so-called lure by profit means to increase the salaries of officials, so that they don't have to abuse the people and have enough expenses..."

"do not talk."

The entire room heard the statement's worrying words, and everyone fell silent immediately, focusing their eyes on him.

He felt uncomfortable, so he had to turn his head to look at the person beside him.When he turned his head like this, everyone followed his gaze, and finally saw Liang Huan.

Liang Huan's complexion was a little dark, he stood up, and everyone in the room knelt on the ground and saluted him.Instead of getting everyone up immediately as usual, he walked up to Jia Xuan step by step and asked him condescendingly, "Where did you hear those words just now?"

Jia Xuan didn't know the relationship between Liang Huan and Ouyang Qing, he didn't know the parties in the court, and he didn't even know who made the propositions he said.He knelt on the ground and replied truthfully: "After the minister's meeting was selected, a fellow villager who worked in the household department called the minister over and told the minister about the current policy of the court, saying that it is the general trend to harsh the people and enrich the officials..."

Hearing this, Liang Huan raised his eyebrows, and said sharply: "You believe what others say? Have you ever thought about it, can increasing your salary curb your desires?"

At this moment, Jia Xuan started to get scared, and kowtowed tremblingly, sweating profusely from his brow.What Liang Huan said was right, he didn't understand the court strife at all, and he believed what he said.

He held back for a long time before he could say: "I'm stupid, I can't think deeply."

Liang Huan didn't mean to blame him, but just asked everyone to get up, and then said to Jia Xuan alone: ​​"After class, I have something to tell you."

After class, Jia Xuan went out with everyone, but as soon as he walked out of the house, Lu Yin blocked the door.Lu Yin led him around the Imperial Academy, and finally stopped in front of an extremely inconspicuous house.

There is a plaque with peeling paint on the house, and the words "Suyin Hall" can be recognized.The house is not big, there are only three rooms in total. The outer walls may not have been painted for a long time, and the skin is cracked in many places.

As soon as Jia Xuan entered the room, he saw Liang Huan sitting alone in the main hall. He knelt in front of Liang Huan, and heard him ask: "Have you made up your mind?"

"Think about it... some."

Jia Xuan may be impulsive and reckless, but he is not stupid. It is normal that he couldn't think of it just now. If he can't say anything now, he will be blind.

"Increasing taxes can increase salaries, but if someone is greedy, even if he receives an increased salary, he will continue to oppress the people. People have to pay more taxes and face tyranny that will never decrease. This is really not a good thing Method."

Hearing this, Liang Huan took out a piece of folded paper and handed it to Jia Xuan, and said: "Go and tell these people, come to Suyintang to look for me in the afternoon, and you will come too. Secretly Say it, don't let others hear it."

Jia Xuan unfolded the piece of paper, and there were several names on it.

All afternoon, Jia Xuan ran around, calling people according to the list.When it was time to leave, several people on the list gathered at the door by coincidence. They were all lucky scholars who had entered the Imperial Academy.

Jia Xuan led the crowd to the door of the dilapidated house, and Xu Gong opened the door first and walked in.

There is a main seat in the middle of the main hall, and chairs are placed on both sides, and the words "A Gentleman Gets the Way" are written on the plaque.At first glance, it looks a little majestic and solemn, but when you look closely, it has accumulated too much dust.

Liang Huan asked everyone to sit casually, and no one dared to sit in the front. As a result, on one side of the first row was the carefree and fearless Xu Gong, and on the other side was the statement who knew what he was doing.

Then, Liang Huan took a stack of papers from Lu Yin, passed one to everyone, and said, "Let's take a look at this. After reading it, tell us your thoughts."

Chen Zhi took the piece of paper, on which was an article titled "Refuting 'Harsh People and Rich Officials'".He couldn't help wondering, who would dare to take such a course when Ouyang Qing was in full swing?He didn't understand until he read the article and recognized the familiar style.

Xu Gong was the quickest to read, and his mind was also the fastest, and he took the lead in saying: "Everything you said makes sense."

Jia Xuandao: "If this rumor gets out, Prime Minister Ouyang and his party members will be pissed off!"

Jiang Ji, who had been silent all this time, also spoke slowly: "I just don't know how to govern the officials so as to really benefit the people if the 'harsh people and rich officials' are abolished."

Liang Huan nodded and said, "I've been arguing about how to govern officials. What do you think is the rule of law?"

"Reduce taxes and reform supervision at the same time, so that officials will not dare to be greedy anymore. Isn't it possible to return benefits to the people? Is it feasible?"

Regarding these matters, Xinke Jinshi naturally did not know as much as Liang Huan. They saw Liang Huan say this, so they could only second the proposal.

Liang Huan continued: "This article was not published by anyone, but I wrote it myself. I have checked the annual reports of various ministries. Although I cannot say that 'harsh people and rich officials' harm the country and the people, all kinds of evidence point to it not being Good move."

Everyone bowed their heads and read a few more sentences. Although the articles were still far from theirs, the emperor didn't specialize in reading and taking exams, so it was already good.

"I really want to publish this article to the world and criticize Ouyang Qing's crimes in public. But I don't have enough strength to fight against it. If I act rashly, I'm afraid the entire court of Daping will be turned upside down by him."

"I can't do it alone, I have to rely on you to turn the situation around. You have a clean background, you might as well follow me than those messy people."

Everyone understands that they are called here to develop a new force.This force regards Ouyang Qing as an enemy and tries to change his policies.

At last, Jia Xuan's words were a little cautious: "But only relying on the minister to wait for a few people, can we achieve great things?"

Faced with doubts, Liang explained patiently: "It's not just a few of you, but you start to drive your fellow villagers, the same year, and future students, and more and more people will work for us, and you A few are elders."

Although the statement was still indifferent on the surface, it was actually a little moved.What should be done has been neglected for years, and now someone is finally picking it up.

"It's just," Liang Huan's voice suddenly became quiet, "If you choose to take this path, I will definitely give you the benefits you want, but you will also have to bear the dangers on this path. I don't have that great ability yet, sometimes I may not be able to protect you..."

"If you don't want to, just go now, I won't blame you."

As soon as the words were finished, someone knelt down in front of the hall and kowtowed: "There is an eighty-year-old mother in my family, and a three-year-old child, please forgive me..."

Seeing this, another person also knelt over, and the reason was more straightforward: "I am greedy for life and afraid of death, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Liang Huan glanced at the crowd, "Is there any more?"

The statement has been very firm.Compared to the fact that this was what he wanted to do, and that he was not greedy for life or fear of death at all, the more important reason was that Liang Huan had clearly told him to come, and he could not refuse.

"Okay, let's go, don't tell others what you heard here today."

The two went out, and there were only six left in the room.Chen Zhi took a look, he only knew Xu Gong who was noisy, Jia Xuan who was "in the limelight" in class, and Jiang Ji who cared about him the day of the Qionglin Banquet.The remaining two are at the bottom, and I can't remember their names.

Liang Huan suddenly got up and stood in front of the hall. Before he could speak, he bowed to everyone.This unexpected action startled all six people, and they hurriedly returned a gift each.

"I thank you all first. In the future, the court of Daping and the safety of the people will all depend on you." Liang Huanzhuo stood upright and said loudly.

The statement had never heard him speak so solemnly.

I used to think that he was a rascal who only wanted to please and show off, but I didn't expect that when he returned to his true identity, he was the emperor who looked down on the world and cared about all people, with no disobedience in his demeanor.

If I had known that he was so unattainable, there would not have been so many twists and turns in the middle.

After everyone sat down, Liang Huan said: "You go back and think about it. From now on, every meeting will be here, and I will let..."

He looked around, he must not let the statement come, he must be hidden.

"...Let Jia Xuan call you over."

After the meeting ended, the six of them were walking out when they suddenly heard a voice behind them: "Chen Xingli."

The author has something to say: I actually wrote a chapter with no emotional drama at all

In fact, there were originally three chapters written here, I was afraid that you would not like to read this kind of thing, so I cut it into one chapter abruptly hhhh

Don't remember names~
