Chapter 1081 Don't abandon the old without a big reason?

Zhu Yili sat down.

Yu Shenxing knelt down and the lecture began.

The thirty words in the tenth chapter of "The Analects of Confucius - Wei Zi Chapter 18" are actually very simple.

It is nothing more than Duke Zhou who said to Duke Lu: A gentleman cannot alienate his relatives, and cannot let his ministers complain and not be valued. Old friends and old subordinates do not have any serious mistakes, so they cannot abandon them. Don’t blame others for everything.

The main theme is to treat people with lenient treatment and to forgive relatives, ministers, and old people.

Yu Shenxing quoted a wide range of quotes, and spoke in a sharp voice for an hour.

The first half of the hour talks about tolerance, which is the original meaning of the tenth chapter of "The Analects of Confucius - Weizi Chapter 18", but the second half of the hour only explains one argument: the old man has no major reasons, and the principle of the court is to never give up. However, not giving up is to give them the opportunity to serve the court, rather than letting the court spend money and wealth to support a group of idle people.

This is exactly what Zhu Yiliu explained.

If it weren't for his instruction, Yu Shenxing wouldn't dare to take a different approach in the lectures to target "royal relatives", "counciaries" and "old old friends"?

The ministers who came to listen to the lecture seemed to understand the real purpose of today's lecture.

When the fireman on duty in the room was holding the "Si" card and tiptoed into the hall and replaced the "Chen" card on the copper frame on the right side of the hall gate, three loud whips came from outside the hall - this was a signal of the end of the talk.

The sound of the whip stopped, and Yu Shenxing said, "I have finished speaking in Yu Shenxing. I am really frightened."

"It's very well spoken." Zhu Yiliu nodded.

"Your Majesty has heard of today's sermon. I wonder what else to ask?" As the chief assistant, Shen Shixing asked for instructions.

"I really have a question I want to ask for."

"Please say it, Your Majesty."

"Mr. Yu just said a very, very good argument, that is, Buqi's intention is to give them the opportunity to serve the court, rather than letting the court spend money and wealth to support a group of idle people."

Yu Shenxing thought that this was originally His Majesty's intention, and there was no need to put the credit on him.

Zhu Yiliu said: "In my opinion, this `they` in Mr. Yu's argument is not just the old things, right? It should also include royal relatives and ministers, right?"

"This..." Shen Shixing hesitated for a moment, "The royal relatives are not included in the service of the court."

"Why not include royal relatives?"

"Your Majesty, this involves the royal family system of the court."

"Oh, I understand." Zhu Yili nodded and then asked, "Don't the 'bunch of idle people' in Mr. Yu's words include royal relatives?"

"This..." Shen Shixing said nothing.

"In my opinion, the biggest idle person in this dynasty is the royal relatives, princes and nobles."

If there is no one.

Who dares to respond to such words?

There are many such people attending the lecture today.

Although Zhu Yiliu went straight to the point, Yu Shenxing did not regret accepting the task of presenting today.

Although he only faced Zhu Yiliu just now, he had no chance to see feedback from other ministers.

But you can also feel it on your back. When he said this, those people were either sighing, surprised or scolding in their hearts, and they must be disgusted with his speech today.

Of course, he could also expect that not everyone was disgusted with his speech, and there must be many ministers like him who dared to tell the truth.

The "group of idle people" are like parasites, eroding the court, but no emperor dares to take action.

Now that Zhu Yiliu dares to take advantage of the opportunity of the great lecture, he is of course obliged to do it.

As for whether it will cause trouble and cause resentment from this "group of idle people", he is not worried. After all, Zhu Yiliu has long since sent a signal, and I believe that few people here will attribute the responsibility to him.

Besides, the content of the lecturer’s lecturer is not what he wants to say. The content of the lecturer must be reviewed and approved by the cabinet in advance.

"The old prince-in-law, my uncle, do you think you are an idle person?"

Zhu Yiliu suddenly called Xu Congcheng.

Let the atmosphere of Wenhua Palace drop to freezing point again. Today's sutra session is not easy to eat!

Xu Congcheng was very upset. Why did so many people ask for his name alone? Look at his old bones and are you bullied? He even asked himself to evaluate whether he is an idle person?

This nephew is too ignorant, right?

Anyway, everyone knows that he is thick-skinned, so Xu Congcheng is not polite and replied loudly: "I will go to the suburbs twice every spring and autumn, and I will be the priest on behalf of His Majesty."

"I only did two days of errands in a year. Isn't this a big idle person?"

"..." At this moment, Xu Congcheng wanted to swear. He just took his own knives and turned around and wanted to kill his own uncle, right? And in front of so many officials and officials, isn't this the public trial of him? Damn nephew!

"The old uncle not only eats the salary of the court, but also enjoys the income of tens of millions of acres of croquette fields. There are farmlands in the countryside and shops in the city. It is not too much to say that you are rich? If you take back your salary and no longer provide it like the son-in-law Yan Yongfan, do you have any objection?"

"He has an official position, so can I do it?" Xu Congcheng asked unwillingly.

"How old are you? Can't you enjoy your happiness?" Zhu Yili asked back.

"..." Xu Congcheng wanted to leave.

"I will just say nothing, I will just say you agree."

"..." Xu Congcheng wanted to jump up and kill someone.

"I hope that all the royal relatives here may ask themselves if they are considered a great idle person? Then think about how to change the current predicament. The court is already in a difficult position to support them. If the old man has no major reasons, he will not abandon him. I am not giving up on you, but I hope you will work with me to solve the problem."

Quite terrible quiet.

It turns out that today's imperial banquet is the Hongmen Banquet?

"There are also all the nobles here. I don't say they are all idle people, but most of them are? After I know that you are all heroes, the court should have extra pensions, otherwise who is willing to serve the court?"

"However, due to the eternal long-term government affairs, the lack of supervision of the department, the ministers of the road did not dare to offend the powerful and other reasons, there were many idle people among the princes and nobles."

"Since the founding of this dynasty, the civil and military officials who expanded their territory and established the rule of law were divided into three categories, including Duke, Marquis, and Bo, according to their performance. Among them, there were all the titles."

"Anyone who is awarded a meritorious official will receive different rewards and annual salary based on different titles. Emperor Gaozu stipulated that the maximum gift should not exceed 5,000 stones, but now, this number is much greater than that."

"As a result of hereditary titles, the eldest son succeeded him. Chengzu was afraid that the successors would receive unsuccessful rewards and would not be enterprising, so he encouraged them to seek careers."

"For those who are both talented and virtuous, the military ministers will be appointed as the general of the Third Battalion of the Regiment Camp, or the officer of the camp, or the deputy secretary of the governor of the Five Army, and remain in the garrison of the capital, and serve as the general of the Sixteen Towns."

"After a civil servant, who is young and inherited, can be sent to the Imperial College for study. Like other students, wearing black clothes and flat scarves cannot enjoy privileges. If you do not make mistakes seriously in your studies, you will be removed from your crown and uniform as a punishment."

"All hereditary children, those who commit crimes and abuse their power, those who are light will take their salary, and those who are heavy will take their titles. These are all good rules left by Emperor Gaozu and Chengzu. But I think everyone knows it well. If they are implemented seriously, how many idle people will be there among the princes and nobles?"

"Whether the royal relatives or princes and nobles, I hope you all reflect and consider what to do next? Should you continue to support the court or be self-reliant?"

"After the lecture, you all wrote a piece of paper to present it. From the perspective of the country, I hope you will be self-reliant and do your own things and have enough food and clothing. This is also my sincere hope for the people of the world."

It's finished.

This passage is a bit long.

But Zhu Yiliu also prepared carefully.

So when it comes to being done in one go, it gives people no sense of stagnation and procrastination.

The ministers in the court who make a living by their salary alone will not be affected at all, and they have long wanted to do so, so they actively support this reform. This is one of the reasons why Yu Shenxing dared to speak out.

However, the royal relatives, princes and nobles present could not sit still. Zhu Yiliu finally had to attack them. Didn’t he say that just now?
