The hall was silent, and the ministers lowered their heads, and no one dared to touch the emperor's gaze, for fear that the emperor's karma would explode on their heads.

The emperor in front of him looked kind and kind. In fact, he was the same king as the old emperor in his bones. What was slightly different from the old emperor was that this emperor was not that murderous. But this emperor prefers to kill people.

You must also punish your heart and damage your body to the point of being completely exhausted.

"Look, when it comes to the imperial grain and autumn tax, you are all very knowledgeable. But when it comes to this, you will not speak!" Zhu Yunxiu said, taking off a string of red agate bracelets from his wrists and playing with them in his palms.

No one knows this action, but Li Jinglong was frightened.

The emperor will only do this when he is extremely upset in his heart.

At this time, the old minister Ling Han said, "Emperor, the old minister thinks that such matters will be found out repeatedly. It involves officials and criminals. If they are not killed, they will not be able to calm the public's anger. Not only do they need to kill them, they must also make the files clear and let officials from all over the world.

We learn from it.”

As he said that, the old man paused, with a slight struggle in his eyes, and then he spoke solemnly, "Not only should we learn from it, but we should also serve as a warning. The great greed has been rampant in all dynasties. This is definitely not an isolated case in Jurong County.

He denounced the local censors and inspectors, etc., to fully accept the customs of the people, to see if there is anything like Jurong County in various places, and to kill a few people who are not open to their eyes to face the eyes!"

"If no one in the court is willing to do such an errand, the old minister will recommend himself."

These words were murderous and righteous.

"I know the heart of the old minister!" Zhu Yunsheng nodded and sighed slightly, "But there are a few things that have not been said to my heart when you say it."

Then, Zhu Yunxiu looked around the ministers and spoke again, "First, it's wrong to kill a few people who are not open to their eyes, and the last sentence is even more wrong to look at the front."

"When I kill a few people who are not open to their eyes, what about? To keep the eyes straight, who will be the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who

"If you do this, isn't it superficial? Oh, after a few years, I forgot about this, and it will be revived. This kind of thing shouldn't have been done, so he can't have done it."

"Does I have to send the imperial envoy out every time and erect the emperor's flag to make the people clear the world?"

Speaking of this, Zhu Yunxiu paused for a moment, looked at it for a while, and then said, "I know that there is nothing perfect in the world. No one can predict that such a huge Ming Dynasty will lead to some crazy bastards and a few bad herds.

Just like ordinary people, even good families will raise prodigal sons!”

"But then again, the unfilial sons of ordinary people's families ruined the family business. The black sheep of the court lost the hearts of the people of the court."

"Many people secretly said that when the emperor was in power, they were too harsh on the officials, and some people secretly criticized that there has been no royal law that allowed the people to sue officials throughout the ages!"

"Why is he like this? Isn't it because he knows that the people have no way to sue after being wronged?"

"In the Ming Dynasty... I am not afraid of something wrong or embarrassing. What I am afraid of is to deceive myself after something happens, and what I am afraid of is to cover up after something happens. It is not that I have to embarrass you today, but that this is the first thing I do

Once?"

The ministers were solemn and silent. Everyone could see that the emperor had a big article to do today.

"I remember when I was studying in Wenhua Palace, Mr. Liu Sanwu taught me an article, which was a memorial to Emperor Wu of Han by Dong Dong Zhongshu, a great scholar in the Han Dynasty. I still remember it was written like this."

"I am very careful about the article in the "Spring and Autumn Annals" and wish you what you have done in your previous life. It is nothing to be afraid of when the heavens and man are in harmony! The country will lose its way, and the heaven will cause disasters to be condemned. I don't know how to reflect on myself. , and then there was a strange thing to warn him. He did not know how to change, but he was injured and defeated. He was kind to the king in this way, and wanted to stop the chaos!"

"He also said that the emperor was ordered by heaven, and the world was ordered by the emperor."

"Does he mean God? Does he mean God?"

As he said that, Zhu Yunxiu suddenly looked up and pointed at the Hanlin Bachelor's, "Huang Zicheng, you are a talented man from the Hanlin Academy. Come and tell me, what is the heaven referring to? I remember that on the day I learned this ancient book, you were also in Wenhua Palace. !”

Huang Zicheng, a Hanlin scholar who had not been named or even questioned by the emperor for a long time, immediately cheered up and even spoke excitedly, "Return to the emperor, the heaven mentioned by Dong Ru refers to the hearts of the people and the will of the heaven mentioned in the spring and autumn, It also refers to the people's hearts."

All the dynasties were scholars who had been in the Jinshi for decades, so they naturally knew the meaning of this. In Dong Zhongshu's theory, the top was heaven, the middle was emperor, the bottom was learning, and the bottom was people. In this order Next, the emperor is not suppressed, but is suppressed and restricted by the heavens.

The heaven mentioned by Confucianism is actually very broad. It includes three aspects of moral etiquette in the hearts of the people. The meaning of heaven is because heaven is unchanging, and these are eternal. If the monarch violates these, it is against the will of heaven.

The meaning of this theory is actually a restriction on imperial power.

Zhu Yunxiu said, "It seems that as early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, people at that time understood that whoever has the hearts of the people is virtue, and whoever has the hearts of the people has the destiny!"

"Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world! It is difficult to win the hearts of the people, and it is easy to lose the hearts of the people!"

"The reason why I say so much today is that the confused officials below lost the hearts of the people of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yunxiu sighed heavily, "Remember, what he lost is not my people's heart, but the people's heart of the Ming Dynasty."

As if he was tired of speaking, Zhu Yunxiu waved to him, and trotted over with a bowl of tea.

The turtle shame served Zhu Yunyu for the rest of his life, so he naturally knew the emperor's temperament, so the tea was half warm and half hot, so that he could drink it all in one go.

Zhu Yunxiu drank tea with a smile on his face, "I remember learning such an article, which is also a story of the Han Dynasty, which is about Zhang Shizhi, the Tingwei during the reign of Emperor Wen of Han."

"Once Emperor Wen of Han went on a tour of Zhongwei Bridge, a man somehow got into the accompanying team, shocked Emperor Wen's carriage, and after he captured this person, Emperor Wen asked Zhang Shizhi to try it."

As he said that, Zhu Yunxiu looked at the ministers again and pointed at the Hanlin Academy. Xie Jin, the foreman, said, "I said I am tired, you can tell me the following. When I was studying, you were accompanying me."

"I obey the order!" Xie Jin performed the ceremony and then said slowly, "After Zhang Shizhi tried, he thought that this person was just curious about the Holy Divine, so he was sentenced to the person for paying a fine after committing a crime. .”

"Emperor Wen was furious when he heard this and ordered Zhang Shizhi to kill this person."

"Zhang Shi's report on the law is the emperor who is in the public world. Now the law is so important and it is more important, so the law does not believe in the people. Moreover, the emperor's envoy has already been punished. After he has handed over the court, the court will be given a hand. The peace of the world is the most important thing, and the rules of the world are all used in a slight and serious way, so how can the people be safe and secure?"

"I am worthy of being a talented man from the Hanlin Academy. I will tell you the truth!" Zhu Yunxi smiled, "Zhang Shizhi dared to be with Emperor Wen, and tell Emperor Wen that you would kill him if you killed him, but since I have been handed over to me for trial, I will be fine.

We must enforce the law impartially, and we cannot change our courses after enforcing the law."

"This person is very good, but there was a court officer Du Zhou during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, which is completely different from him, right?"

Xie Jin hurriedly said, "Du Zhou did not respect the law and thought about the superior's intentions. Historical records said that the superiors squeezed, so he trapped him. What the emperor wanted to explain, but he was waiting for a long time to ask about his injustice."

"Okay, good at learning!" Zhu Yunxiu praised again and continued to ask, "Then tell me, Zhang Shizhi and Du Zhou, what do they mean so much, or why do they do this?"

Xie Jin said solemnly, "The reason why Du Zhou acted like this during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han was that he believed in power and respected the law, and the law came from the king!"
