And those Fujian officials obviously didn't realize that the danger was coming quietly... Wu Liehou Ding Yunyi acted too easy-going in front of them, and no one realized anything at all.
Countless officials are doing their best to prepare for the upcoming sixth day. It is the best opportunity to please Wu Liehou, which may affect their own future.
At this time, officials designated by Ding Yunyi such as Lu Xiyu, Guan Zhe, Ou Jue, and Song Xianji were involved in the investigation with the strong assistance of Jin Daowei.
Ding Yunyi was not idle at this time either.
Although marriage is a status for the women who follow him, it is more of a cover-up, the best cover for the coming big storm.
While Ding Yunyi was working on formulating new laws, he began to secretly search for new officials for Fujian who were more suitable for this place. Once the storm unfolds, there will be a large number of official vacancies.
Ding Yunyi started to walk the tightrope again as before, appointing officials privately. Although he concealed it from the court, once the incident happened, just as Ye Yuan said before, this would have touched the bottom line of the court.
Ding Yunyi knew very well what the consequences would be if the bottom line of any force was touched... But he didn't care. He had already come to this point, so what else could he care about and worry about?
Talent, talent is everything you need in the future...
Lu Xiyu, Guan Zhe, Ou Jue and others who were familiar with Fujian made a long list for Ding Yunyi. Song Xianji also recommended a group of talents, among whom he mentioned one person in particular:
Huang Zongxi!
When he heard the name Huang Zongxi, Ding Yunyi couldn't help but ponder. He was very familiar with this person. This person proposed that monarchy is a great harm to the world. He advocated replacing the emperor's "law of the family" with "the law of the world"
"Representative figure.
To be able to say in such an era that the monarchy system is a great danger to the world is indeed an extraordinary talent.
Huang Zongxi is from Zhejiang, he is only 29 years old this year. In the fourth year of Chongzhen Emperor's reign, Zhang Pu convened the "Jinling Conference" in Nanjing. Huang Zongxi, who happened to be in Nanjing at the time, was introduced to the Fushe by his friend Zhou Biao and became one of the active figures in the society.
Ding Yunyi felt a little strange after hearing this. Why did Huang Zongxi come to Fujian from Zhejiang?
"Don't Marquis Wu Lie know?" Song Xianji felt a little strange: "I have met Mr. Nan Lei before. He was recommended by the great scholar Zhang Pu to come to Fujian to join Marquis Wu Lie, but I don't know why Mr. Nan Lei
When he arrived in Fujian, he didn't come to see Wu Liehou. I thought Wu Liehou didn't like him, so he lived in seclusion in Fujian."
"Recommended by Zhang Pu?" Ding Yunyi was a little confused when he heard it. Why didn't he know anything about it? Zhang Pu didn't even send a letter: "Where is this Mr. Nan Lei now?"
"He lives in seclusion in the countryside twenty miles outside Xiamen... There is something even more strange. Although Mr. Nan Lei never saw Wu Liebo, he did not leave Fujian and has always lived in seclusion there."
Ding Yunyi nodded. It seemed that there must be something famous in it. If it weren't for Song Xianji's suggestion, he would have almost lost a talent. He no longer hesitated. He called Jiang Qi and rushed to Xiamen immediately.
The place where Huang Zongxi lived in seclusion is very close to Xiamen and not far from Quanzhou. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and it has a paradise scene.
"There is a mountain, a river and a small bridge, and a bright moon shines on the pine tops; although the world is broken at the edge, I am as happy and carefree as ever."
While I was immersed in the beauty of the mountains and rivers, suddenly a song came from the river. Then a small boat slowly docked with a young man standing on the bow.
"This person must be Huang Zongxi without a doubt." Ding Yunyi laughed, and then said loudly: "One west, one east, one river, one overturned, one pond of trees; one coming and going, guests on the road, one gathering and one dispersed on the road to the horizon; one south
A river separates the north, singing and dancing to praise Soochow."
These two poems with the word "一" are said to have been sung to each other by Zhou Yu and a shopkeeper during the Three Kingdoms period. It is unknown whether they are true or false, but they are widely circulated.
The young man smiled and said, "Who is so elegant?"
"I'm in Quanzhou, Xiang Wending, and I'm here to pay a visit to Mr. Nan Lei." Ding Yunyi laughed loudly.
"This is Huang Zongxi." The young man opened his mouth, and it turned out to be Huang Zongxi: "Huang Nanlei Mo Mo, Mr. Labor paid a visit to me? Is there anyone who recommends me?"
Ding Yunyi smiled and said: "Song Xicheng introduced me to meet Mr.
"It turns out to be Song Xicheng of Xiamen." Huang Zongxi got off the boat with a smile, holding two fish in his hand: "It's a great pleasure to have friends from afar. Mr. Xiang, I just caught two fish today, sir, if you don't mind
, why not go to the thatched cottage to have a drink together?”
Jiang Qi couldn't help but laugh when he heard the mayor of the town say his name was "Xiang Wending". Now when he saw that the other party actually called him "Mr. Xiang", he almost couldn't help laughing.
Ding Yunyi glared at him, then turned around and smiled: "This will disturb Mr. Nan Lei."
Although these people were said to be living in seclusion, most of them brought their servants back to their residences. Huang Zongxi ordered his servants to burn the fish, and then said: "Song Xicheng is a wonderful man, and Mr. Lai is also a wonderful man."
Huang Zongxi was open-minded and interesting in what he said. Ding Yunyi couldn't help but smile and said: "I'm not a clever person, but I heard about your name, so I took the liberty to come and disturb you."
After chatting there for a while, the two fishes were already cooked. Huang Zongxi had probably not seen the guests for a long time, so he was very enthusiastic and poured wine for Ding Yunyi himself: "I just had a conversation with Mr. Xiang, and I felt that Mr. Xiang's witty words were like pearls, which can be compared with those of others.
Ordinary people are much more interesting. Mr. Xiang, please."
"Please!" Ding Yunyi raised his glass and put it down: "I heard that Mr. Nan Lei lived in seclusion here and wrote a biography. He wrote a book called "Records of Visits to the Ming Yi". I boldly ask you to give me a look at it."
Huang Zongxi was shocked when he heard this: "'The Record of Interviews with Ming Yi's Waiting' has just begun. How did you know that?"
Only then did Ding Yunyi realize that he had made a mistake. Huang Zongxi had spent half his life on "Records of Interviews with Ming Yi". He was not yet thirty years old, so he had already written it when he could. At that moment, he hurriedly made up a bunch of lies.
Huang Zongxi was dubious, but he didn't hide anything. He immediately got up and went to the study to take out his manuscript.
"Ming Yi" is originally a hexagram in the "Book of Changes". Its lines include: "The Ming Yi droops its wings when flying, and the gentleman does not eat for three days when traveling. When people go there, the master has something to say." It is sixty-four.
In the thirty-sixth hexagram, the hexagram image is "Li Xia Kun Shang", that is, the earth is above and the fire is below. "Ming" means the sun. "Yi" means damage. From the hexagram, the sun is at "
"Kun" means under the earth, it is a situation where light disappears and darkness comes. It means that light is damaged. This implies Huang Zongxi's anger and accusation against the current situation, and also his hope for the sun to rise again and shine on the world. It implies that wise people are
In a position of adversity, "waiting for a visit" means waiting for a sage to come and make this book a guide for future generations.
Huang Zongxi was so surprised that he chose the name "Ming Yi Waiting for Interviews". He had not yet decided whether to use this name, but he never expected that the other party would say it right away.
The manuscript had just written the chapter "Yuan Jun". After reading it, Ding Yunyi couldn't help but exclaimed: "Good, good. 'Taking my selfishness as the great public of the world' is actually 'bringing great harm to the world'."
'The responsibility of ministers is "for the world, not for the king; for all the people, not for one surname'. 'The law of the country is the law of the family, not the law of the world'... Sir, this
Every sentence points to the evils of the current imperial court!"
After hearing the other party's praise, Huang Zongxi put aside his surprise and doubts: "The original purpose of establishing a monarch is to benefit the world and relieve the harm from the world. The creation of a monarch is to make the monarch shoulder the responsibility of suppressing private interests and promoting public interests.
For the monarch, his obligations are primary. Power is subordinate to the obligations and then serves to fulfill his obligations. The monarch is just a public servant of the world. In ancient times, the world was the master and the monarch was the guest. Anyone who manages the monarch throughout his life,
For the sake of the world. However, later monarchs thought that the rights and interests of the world belonged to me. I took all the benefits of the world to myself and all the harm of the world to others. Moreover, I made the people of the world dare not be selfish or self-interested.
With my great selfishness, I am the great prince of the world, and regard the world as a great inheritance, which can be passed down to my descendants and enjoy endless enjoyment. The monarch's family, the world, originally lacks its legitimacy... This is really rebellious and fundamentally negates it.
If the existence of the emperor was revealed to the court, it would be a capital crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan.
But what kind of person is Ding Yunyi? He listened with interest: "What Mr. Nan Lei said is true. To limit the power of the monarch, we must first clearly distinguish the relationship between the monarch and his ministers."
"Sir, I am a close friend!" Huang Zongxi was overjoyed after hearing this: "Everyone in the world thinks that the emperor is supreme, but in fact they are totally wrong. In ancient times, the world was regarded as the master, and the monarch was regarded as the guest. All monarchs
Everything you do in this life is for the people of the world. Now regard the monarch as the master and the world as the guest. The reason why no place in the world can find peace is precisely because of being a monarch. Therefore, when he does not gain the world, he will
The people of the world are so stupid that they separate the children of the world in order to increase his own property. He does not feel miserable about this and says, "I am just starting a business for my descendants." When he has gained the world, he extorts and deprives the people of the world.
He took this as a matter of course and said, "These are the interest of my property". In this case, as the greatest harm to the world, he was just the monarch! At the beginning
If there is no monarch, people can get their own things, and everyone can get their own interests. Alas! Is this the reason for establishing a monarch?"
"Yes." Ding Yunyi also seemed to have met a close friend: "In ancient times, everyone in the world loved their monarch. It was not too much to compare him to his father and to the blue sky. Now everyone in the world hates their monarch and will
He regarded him as an enemy and called him a single husband, which was the result he deserved. But Xiao Ru insisted on the old righteousness and believed that the relationship between monarch and ministers existed between heaven and earth, which was difficult to escape. He was even as cruel as Xia Jie and Yin Zhou.
He actually said that King Tang of Shang and King Wu of Zhou should not kill them, but fabricated and spread unverified things about Boyi and Shuqi, treating the death of thousands of people as no different from the death of mice. Is it possible that the world is so big?
But among the thousands of people, do you only prefer the monarch’s name?”
"I found a like-minded person today." Huang Zongxi became excited: "So King Wu of Zhou is a saint, and Mencius's words are the words of a saint. Those in future generations who want to rely on him to be like their father and like God are empty.
The monarchs who were famous for prohibiting others from prying into the throne felt that Mencius's words were detrimental to themselves, until they abolished Mencius' position as the concubine of Confucius. Doesn't this come from Xiao Confucianism? Even so, if the descendants become monarchs, they can really keep this
It is no wonder that he regards the world as his own property and passes it on forever. Since he regards it as property, who else wants to get the property, who is not like himself? So he tied it with ropes and reinforced it with locks, but
One person's wisdom and strength cannot defeat the numerous people in the world who want to get it. What is far away is only a few generations, but what is close is within themselves. The collapse of their flesh and blood should be on their descendants.
In the past, Emperor Shun of the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty wished not to be reborn in an imperial family for generations to come. However, Ming Yizong also said to the princess, "Why did you want to be born in my family!" This is really a pity! Thinking back to the time when their ancestors started their business.
, who has the ambition to dominate the world, how can he not hang his head in despair? Therefore, if he understands the responsibilities of being a monarch, then in the era of Tang Yao and Yu Shun, everyone could give up the throne. Xu You and Wu Guang were not Chao
If a person who is pure from the secular world does not understand the responsibilities of the king, then even in the market, everyone wants to get the throne. Xu You and Wu Guang therefore disappeared from later generations and are not heard of. Although the responsibilities of the king are difficult to understand, but
A moment of debauchery is not worth exchanging endless sorrow, even a stupid person can understand this truth."
Ding Yunyi nodded frequently after hearing this.
Such a theory that sounds shocking in this era, to Ding Yunyi, sounds like the truth that everyone in his own time knew.
Huang Zongxi sighed and said:
"The way to serve as an minister should be to seek the welfare of all the people in the world, rather than to do errands for the king and his family. As long as the ministers do things based on the interests of the people, they should never obey orders even if the monarch forces them; if the monarch does not die for the country and the people, then the ministers
There is absolutely no obligation to sacrifice one's life for benevolence. On the contrary, if the minister fails to do these things, he is no different from the monarch's slaves. The minister should have an independent personality and dignity. Both the monarch and his ministers are for the benefit of the people.
There is no doubt that their status should be equal, there is no such thing as the king is the minister, the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, such as superiority and inferiority."
When he said this, his voice suddenly rose:
"All the people in the world are the private property of the so-called king. Therefore, the minister's position is appointed by the king, and the responsibilities are also designated by the king. Everything the minister manages is the king's private property. It is natural that he must obey the king's orders everywhere. So Taoists
It’s not surprising that he always talks about ‘the king is worried about the humiliation of his ministers, and the king will humiliate his ministers and die’!”
