Chapter One Hundred and Ninety-fifth: Ordered by Heaven and Controlled by Ministers
I thought this sentence would stump Xu Qian, and Jiajing felt quite good about himself, but he couldn't help but look forward to it, let's see what Xu Qian said.
Xu Qian did not disappoint him and said righteously: "Your Majesty is such a bad word. The wisdom of a scholar cares about poetry and articles. Even if he reaches the limit, it is only seven steps to make a poem. However, the wisdom of the emperor is very involved and related.
The welfare of the world and the great wisdom of scholars is nothing more than a few wonderful songs and essays that have been passed down in the world. However, if the emperor has great wisdom, countless living people will benefit the people. Therefore, the students are brave enough to think that His Majesty uses his wisdom to compare the wisdom of students.
Too inappropriate.”
If you translate this, you will tell Jiajing, you should not compare yourself. You and I are not on the same level at all. Your wisdom can only be compared with the emperor. What is the point of comparing me as a scholar?
Jiajing smiled slightly and said with a smile: "Your language is very good, I am not as good as you, okay, since you can tell the truth, then I will not be able to compare. You just said that the emperor has great wisdom, and there will be countless people living and benefiting the people.
I ask you, I have great wisdom, what are the people?”
Xu Qian sighed in his heart, you are indeed very wise. You can deal with so many old foxes in the court at a young age. If you haven't been to the court for decades, you can play with everyone in the world to applaud, but...
Xu Qian faced two choices at this time. One was to oppose, that is, to tell Jiajing that the people were not doing well, and you, the emperor, may not be qualified. Either it was support, or it was nothing more than flattery and praise the sage of our emperor.
.
The former is the easiest to anger Jiajing. Jiajing is an extremely sensitive person and it is difficult to accept this answer, but the latter also made Xu Qian hesitate.
Xu Qian is not wrong with being keen on utilitarianism, Xu Qian is not wrong with being thick-skinned than the city wall, Xu Qian is shameless, Xu Qian is vulgar, there are many malicious nouns in this world that can be described in Xu Qian, but there is one thing that Xu Qian is stepping out of this
But hesitated when he took one step.
He is very bad, but it does not mean that he can have no lower limit. He knows better than anyone who is Jiajing. If he speaks cleverly, he will definitely get a generous reward, but he will also lose Xu Qian’s last bit of scholarship - integrity!
Although he often takes interests as brothers and integrity as clothes, this does not mean that Xu Qian has the heart to encourage the emperor to go to the dark road. He is watching him play with the world and applaud without making any sound, and he is encouraging him to rage the creatures.
In this way, what is the difference between Xu Qian, Yan Song and Liu Jin?
He sighed in his heart and then said, "Your Majesty, the student has a story. Does Your Majesty want to hear it?"
Seeing his complex expression, Jiajing felt strange. In fact, both sides were carefully testing each other. Jiajing was nervous and said, "You said that."
Xu Qian said: "When the student was in Hangzhou, there was a friend named Wang Sheng. This person was like a student and was also a student in Qiantang. He was very smart. Even if the student saw him, he would be reluctant to give him a disadvantage. This person could read books and never forget him.
, often with a thousand words, he just needs to look over and can quickly memorize it. Not only that, he is proficient in poetry, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and his students are not as good as him everywhere. However, he failed this provincial examination, and the students are clearly
His wisdom is not as good as his, and he has no ability to remember everything he has never seen, but he has won the lead by chance and won the championship in one fell swoop."
This is a small story, not even a small story. However, when this story is told, Jiajing fell into deep thought.
Xu Qian's so-called story, Wang Sheng is a very smart person, but he is so smart, but he can't win the exam. I'm afraid that those who hear about this will feel regretful. But Jiajing did not go to the point of view.
On the surface, he soon noticed the story after Xu Qian's story - Your Majesty, Wang Sheng was extremely smart and could not forget everything, but he could not win the test. This shows that his intelligence was used in the wrong place, no matter how smart he was.
If a person uses his talents in the wrong direction, it will not be possible.
The Wang Sheng mentioned by Xu Qian is actually just a metaphor, which is a tactful telling Jiajing that His Majesty is extremely smart and extremely talented, but to live countless people and benefit the people, these talents must be used in the right direction, otherwise
If you say that, you will only be as talented as Wang Sheng, but you will achieve nothing.
Jiajing savored it, his eyes narrowed slightly, looked at Xu Qian with a little vigilant, then stood up from the imperial chair, walked a few steps, and suddenly raised his eyes and said to Xu Qian: "This Wang Sheng is actually you."
Fake it?"
Xu Qianhe nodded and said, "I can't hide it from it. The students do not have friends like Wang Sheng, but the students know that there are many people like Wang Sheng in this world."
Jiajing seemed a little impetuous and said, "What you mean is that although I am talented, I have used the wrong place. So what saints you just said are actually function words?"
Xu Qian was speechless. This guy was too sensitive. He was just a reminder for you, and it was so serious.
Xu Qian hurriedly said, "Students dare not."
Jiajing glanced at Xu Qian and said, "What are you afraid of? You are very brave."
Huang Jin, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but worry because Jiajing seemed to have signs of furiousness.
But who knew that Jiajing suddenly started to laugh. This time it was not a sneer, but a gentle smile that was almost impossible to happen to Jiajing.
Jiajing said, "Your story is very interesting. I am unpleasant. I am not a fool who can't even tell the difference." He approached Xu Qian step by step and continued, "But I tell you, I actually don't like the ministers."
Do you know why this is the advice?"
Xu Qian had a full understanding of this guy's moodiness, so he had to follow his words: "Please make it clear to you."
Jiajing sighed and said, "Because these people have one words, two hearts, and different hearts, but they are very generous. They are talking about the principles of saints. Their so-called advice is nothing more than just being a traitor and turning a corner.
I scolded me to satisfy their selfish desires. Such people are the most hateful. But you..."
After pausing here, Jiajing continued, "I know you are different from them. You said this from the heart. I hope I don't learn from that Wang Sheng. I have only a lot of talent but nothing can be achieved, right?
?”
Xu Qian felt like he was in a sweet rain, and even said, "Your Majesty is very clear."
Jiajing smiled and said, "Come with me."
He left this sentence and actually took his hands and left the warm room as if no one was around.
Xu Qian sat there, unable to keep up with Jiajing's thinking for a moment, but Huang Jin next to him urged, "Hurry up, follow Your Majesty."
Xu Qian smiled bitterly. As Jiajing went out, Jiajing did not take the chasing, but led Xu Qian into the deep palace. The pavilions and pavilions along the way blurted Xu Qian's eyes, and Jiajing suddenly slowed down.
When Xu Qian caught up, he suddenly smiled and said, "Look, does this look like a cage?"
Xu Qian shook his head and said solemnly: "This is the Forbidden City, the center of the Ming Dynasty. The world's government orders come from here. Your Majesty is the master of this palace."
Jiajing sneered, "I didn't expect you to be confused, so I tell you that since I entered Beijing, I have been in this palace and have never left the palace for a step. It's just that this small cave is everywhere, but I have been from this day every day.
When you walk here, and then walk back from there, sometimes you ride, sometimes you walk, and I already know every tree and every tree here. You say this is the center of the world, but I want to tell you, the center of the world
It's not here, it's just a large yard surrounded by a city wall. I don't know what Jiangnan looks like, I don't know what the flooding of rivers is, nor do I know what the people in the city eat and what they use. Military corpses have to know themselves and their enemies,
I will never be defeated in a hundred battles, but I don’t know myself or my enemy, I don’t know what the country left by my ancestors is, and what kind of situation it is, I don’t know anything. Since I am ignorant, what kind of government orders are there to talk about? A river of water
How can a person who has never seen anything? How can a person who has never seen even a disaster victim issue a decree and issue an order to rescue the disaster?"
Xu Qian was thinking, and he suddenly realized that Jiajing seemed to point out the essence of the problem.
Jiajing smiled coldly and said, "It is precisely because of this that I have dark eyes, I know nothing, and I can't see anything. Therefore, to govern the world, I must rely on others. If I govern the country, I must rely on all officials. Henan
If a flood occurs, the officials in Henan will pass the text to Shangxian and then transfer it to various departments, and each department will send it to the cabinet. The cabinet will submit it to the Tongzhengsi. When the Tongzhengsi handed the memorial to me, the disaster situation thousands of miles away will eventually change.
Only God knows what happened. The only thing I can do is believe that the report is correct, that the county magistrate in the area has not deceived, that the prefect of the area has not sheltered, that the local governor and governor officials are not confused, that the officials and ministers of the six ministries
Being concerned about the disaster, I believe that the cabinet can be impartial and break it. As for me..." Jiajing's eyes were quiet, and a bone-broken coldness emanated from his whole body, and he slowly said: "I am nothing more than a puppet, a tool for these people below,
The peace of the world is not about me, but about the cabinet, the six ministries, the governors of various places, the prefectures and counties, they... are the masters of the world. They have made a mess.
, they will count all these on my head. If they have achieved real achievements, it has nothing to do with me. At most, I will say that I am as keen as a wise man and have selected a few talents."
After saying so much, he looked at Xu Qian with a little anger and said, "Then I want to ask you, what's the use of me being smarter? The smarter I am, the more painful I am, and the more I can understand the hearts, the more I am.
It’s hard to sleep, do you understand? My wisdom is useless. The wisdom of the emperor is far inferior to that of you, a scholar!”
