Chapter 1561: Great benevolence and righteousness
This Zhou Tanzhi's heart was listening to the ups and downs.
He never thought that Fang Jifan had always convinced others with his fists, but today he actually made sense.
But this truth...he thought it was extremely absurd, but it had great incitement.
Finally, Fang Jifan grinned at him, "Is it right?" But Zhou Tanzhi suddenly became the target of public criticism.
He was a little panicked.
Behind Fang Jifan, there are readers who sell millions of dollars, and these readers are the real people.
What's more, looking at Fang Jifan's grinning look made him feel subconsciously timid.
He tried hard to calm his mind, and Cai Qiqiai Ai retorted: "This has been the case in all dynasties. The words of the Duke of Qi are actually alien."
Fang Jifan said sternly: "It has been like this in all dynasties, so there is a poem called prosperity, the people suffer, the people suffer, the people suffer! Therefore, the most miserable thing in prosperous and chaotic times is still the people. Therefore, Confucius and Mencius's proposal cannot be realized. Therefore, this dynasty and the country will surely rise and fall for three hundred years. Therefore, there will be enlightened lords, and there will be a king who will destroy the country. So, I dare to ask Zhou Tanzhi, will my Ming Dynasty be like this? My Ming Dynasty was like this, and I was prosperous and then destroyed. It can be seen... In the past, you scholars were wrong. Since you were wrong, you did not use history as a mirror, did not reform, or think about where you were wrong, but used it as a rebuttal. How shameful is this? You dog-like things come from the people's wealth and ointment. You are gifted by the emperor. If you don't think about this question, you dare to quibble here?"
Zhou Tanzhi... Unexpectedly, Fang Jifan actually put all the responsibility for the rise and fall of the world on his head.
Damn...
The surname Fang, you...
This high hat is too tall...
At this moment, the ministers could only watch silently for Zhou Tanzhi.
Obviously, no one is willing to replace Zhou Tanzhi as a target.
What's more, Fang Jifan is now aggressive and pressing forward step by step. Among the ministers, many new students are ready to go, and they seem to have opened a new door at once.
Why is the so-called new learning called new? This is because we have to say goodbye to old knowledge. Because old knowledge has become corrupt, so... the essence of new learning is to think again, re-examine the change of dynasties for thousands of years, and interpret new benevolence and righteousness.
This is the real mission.
Just like a teacher or a master, you practice this Ming Song by practicing it yourself, with great kindness and righteousness in your heart, so you can not hesitate to lower your level to the same level as the illiterate people and cultivate a book like Ming Song.
Shouldn’t scholars be like this?
Zhou Tanzhi pursed his lips, blushing when he heard it, but he was still a little unwilling to accept it...
After all, he was also shameless and couldn't help but say: "It seems that the Duke of Qi has found a solution to the change of dynasty."
There is sarcasm in these words.
Obviously, Fang Jifan was already used to it.
Fang Jifan said confidently: "This matter is easy. The essence of dynasty changes is that the people work hard but do not get anything, and work hard but have no results. Since... relying on diligence, they cannot exchange their family's food for food and clothing, so they have to use this diligence to turn into anger and fight with blood and sweat. There are so many people who have found this problem in these dynasties, but are there really people who have thought about how to solve this problem? These problems should not be what I thought about, but Zhou, who is the Minister of Rites.
The Secretary of State thought, because you are the Secretary of State, you receive your salary, you regard yourself as a saint, and you think you have read the most books and the best. But... The Secretary of State of State of State has never thought about it. If others think about it, the Secretary of State of State still needs to ridicule and ridicule a few words. Humph, you are worthy of being the Secretary of State in addition to writing some sour articles? Whether you criticize me or look down on my Ming Song, you dare to ridicule the palace. What kind of thing you are? Our followers are jealous of evil and the one who is most despised is precisely the person who is a person who is a corpse and a person who is just like you!"
"You..." Zhou Tanzhi was scolded and was so bloody.
He suddenly felt that he was disgraced and his face looked extremely ugly.
Fang Jifan was unscrupulous insulting in the court, and he did not think he was a minister. So he kowtowed to Emperor Hongzhi in grief and anger: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty heard what the Duke of Qi said. The Duke of Qi had lost his etiquette and insulted the old ministers. He begged Your Majesty to make the decision for his ministers and rectify the rules and regulations!"
But Emperor Hongzhi was still immersed in that sentence...the words that have gained something from hard work.
I have to say that Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but praise Fang Jifan's so-called simplification of the complex was indeed amazing. He had gained something with just one sentence, and he explained the rise and fall of the rise and fall thoroughly.
If the people cannot trade labor for peace and prosperity, they will naturally use their blood to fight against the court.
Finding the key can solve this problem. Although it is difficult to solve it, first of all, it is to face it. Only by re-examining can you find a solution.
As in this Ming Song, isn’t this a solution? Let the people know how to raise pigs, how to raise chickens and ducks, and how to treat some minor illnesses with simple methods. These... are all things that reduce their burden and increase their income.
In this way, the essence of Mingsong is actually to gain something from hard work.
This may be a ridiculous book for those scholars, but it is a holy book for millions of people.
At this moment, countless thoughts passed by Emperor Hongzhi's heart.
What Fang Jifan proposed was exactly what he was most worried about as an emperor. Whether the rise and fall of the dynasty could be delayed or avoided... This is the most fundamental question.
But at this time, Zhou Tanzhi interrupted his thoughts with tears in his eyes. Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhou Tanzhi's aggrieved look, as if he had been greatly abused by Fang Jifan, waiting for him to make decisions for him.
Emperor Hongzhi had no sympathy in his heart, but instead... he was furious.
Emperor Hongzhi's face turned right and said sternly: "What Fang Qing family said is the affairs of the world. But as the Minister of Rites, you are wronged and keep your word and make decisions. Those who are in high positions do not know how to reflect on themselves and insist on fighting for the quick talk at this time. What are your personal grudges? You ask me to make decisions, what is your master?"
Zhou Tanzhi never expected that Emperor Hongzhi was furious and even said every word of blame to him. He kowtowed in panic: "Your Majesty..."
"Stop the mouth." Emperor Hongzhi said: "The classics such as Ming Song have become a technique for raising pigs in your mouth. Well, even if it is a book for raising pigs, Fang Jifan still taught people to raise pigs. What did you do as the Minister of Rites?"
Zhou Tanzhi subconsciously said: "I am in Nanjing's Ministry of Rites, responsible for ceremonies and sacrifices, and dare not neglect..."
Emperor Hongzhi narrowed his eyes: "But can you raise pigs?"
"My...My..." Zhou Tanzhi felt that he had suffered a great humiliation and was stunned and could not speak.
Emperor Hongzhi said sternly: "Then go raise pigs. The Nanjing Ministry of Rites no longer needs to do it. When will you raise pigs? I will also learn from Fang Qing's family that publishes a book on raising pigs. I will allow you to send me a teacher!"
Zhou Tanzhi's face turned pale in an instant, and he felt dizzy and almost fainted. He said shrillly: "Your Majesty... the old minister has no credit, but he has worked hard..."
Emperor Hongzhi's face was very tense, but he ignored him.
I have to say...
Your Majesty’s current methods are really becoming more and more creative.
All the ministers were ashamed.
Emperor Hongzhi then looked at Fang Jifan and said seriously: "Fang Qing family, this book... can the people really understand it?"
Now, Emperor Hongzhi is more concerned about this issue.
After all... they are all a group of illiterate people.
There are so many such people.
Even though many children are now starting to study with the encouragement of new students, this is still a drop in the ocean among the millions of people.
Fang Jifan said confidently: "Your Majesty... I went to Yongping Prefecture before and saw some people. If this book is an ordinary person, it is indeed a bit awkward and difficult to understand. However... they have learned a little bit of common words. After reading it a lot, they gradually became smoother. On the contrary, some words that they did not recognize in the past can be understood by them, or by guessing themselves. If the people cannot understand it at all, how could this book be so popular? If Your Majesty doesn't believe it... might as well... find a commoner to try it, but actually... actually..."
"What actually?" Emperor Hongzhi became interested in this.
Now that he understood this truth, he began to agree that Mingsong was so profound.
In the past, when he read books, he felt that the more awkward the person used the words, the more amazed the person. He felt that this person was really good, and he knew such words and sentences. Now, he gradually became disgusted with such articles and books.
Fang Jifan said, "Actually... the people are also eager to know. Who in this world does not have the desire to know or the desire to know? If they do not have this heart, why do these ordinary people respect scholars? If Your Majesty does not believe it... You might as well call a few people to come immediately. Just ask and you will know that Your Majesty is the most wise emperor. Therefore, he is particularly concerned about the sufferings of the people. Thinking about what the people think, the ministers will never dare to pat their chests in front of Your Majesty. What this book is, in fact, Your Majesty himself can find out."
Emperor Hongzhi was stunned for a moment, then...
He couldn't help laughing: "Since that's the case... what do you think?"
Seeing that His Majesty had regained his joy, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
This relationship is good, only one Zhou Tanzhi is unlucky, at least he didn't implicate everyone, which is great.
