Chapter 129 Please Punish the Great Confucianism

Chapter 129 Please Punish the Great Confucianism

"Your Majesty Mingjian, my Taoism is not so overbearing! In fact, my Taoism only believes that both the ruler and the teacher should be virtuous."

He Xinyin hurriedly explained.

Zhu Yijun continued to ask: "Then according to your knowledge, who is going to judge whether this is virtuous or not? Is it you people of the same way, or the people of the world?"

"Xiaomin, Xiaomin, Xiaomin believes that nature is the people of the world, and it is judged by the heart of the people of the world."

He Xinyin replied somewhat incoherently.

"You said just now that if I don't regard you as a friend, I am not a virtuous emperor. It means that you think I have no virtue."

Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng as he spoke, and asked, "Sir, am I the Son of Heaven without virtue?"

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven!"

Zhang Juzheng replied.

Zhu Yijun asked again: "But from the heart?"

"Of course, how dare a minister not serve the king with sincerity."

Zhang Juzheng replied.

Zhu Yijun then asked Shen Li, the daily commentary officer, "Am I a virtuous emperor?"

"Your Majesty is naturally, and it is also from the heart."

Shen Li also replied.

Then, Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Hong again: "Am I a virtuous emperor?"

Zhang Hong also replied yes.

Zhu Yijun asked the Jin Yiwei outside the hall again, and the Jin Yiwei also answered yes.

Then, Zhu Yijun looked at He Xinyin: "He Xinyin, look, you are the only one who thinks that I am not a virtuous emperor; they all think that I am a virtuous emperor; whether they are civil servants, eunuchs, or warriors, they all come from the heart It can be seen that the judgments of people in the world are inconsistent, don't you think?"

"The emperor said so."

He Xinyin hesitated for a while, but finally had to admit it frankly.

Zhu Yijun then asked He Xinyin, "Now I understand why your Taoism can't flourish?"

He Xinyin was stunned.

After Zhu Yijun asked He Xinyin, he answered for He Xinyin:

"Ordinary people with lower status than you, you didn't actively practice your Taoism, but you really regarded them as friends;"

"And therefore, you did not give up your fame and privilege, took the initiative to share the suffering with him, served in the service and paid taxes;"

"It makes your Taoism not get the support of a large number of ordinary people!"

"At most, it was just mobilizing a group of villagers who were dissatisfied with some corrupt officials and tyrants and evil gentry to rebel, but these rebellious villagers probably didn't agree with you people's knowledge, so they didn't listen to your arrangements. Resist in a way that does not violate the king's law, but will directly turn the resistance into a riot, which in turn will make more ordinary people who are not dissatisfied with the government or big households uneasy and will not support you;”

"Then, you ask the emperors, dignitaries and bureaucrats who are higher than you to treat you as friends and interact with you on an equal footing;"

"This naturally makes the emperors and dignitaries unwilling to support you, and even hate you."

"So, the Taoism you insist on is still only the knowledge that a few people insist on!"

"It's easy for my husband to kill you. You don't even need to do it yourself. An official will take the initiative to kill you for him!"

"Even if you want to live, you have to ask Mr. Zhen to spare your life before you can survive;"

"This is the cause of all this;"

"Do you understand it?"

After Zhu Yijun spoke, He Xinyin was silent for a while.

"I see."

"No wonder it is so difficult to develop my Taoism!"

After a long while, He Xinyin said something to himself, and then kowtowed to Zhu Yijun, "Xiaomin, thank you for your advice, Xiaomin was wrong!"

"Small people shouldn't only ask people above themselves to teach Taoism, but they themselves don't practice the philosophy of Taoism!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving Xiaomin the opportunity to strengthen my Taoism. Your Majesty can be a teacher of Xiaomin!"

After He Xinyin finished speaking, she kowtowed to Zhu Yijun again.

Hearing what He Xinyin said, Zhang Juzheng was about to speak.

"This is wrong again!"

But Zhu Yijun stared outside the hall, and spoke first.

Then, Zhu Yijun looked at He Xinyin: "What qualifications do you have to recognize me as a teacher, do you know who is qualified to be a student of the Son of Heaven?"

"It has to be a two-ranked Jinshi!"

"The emperor's disciples are only those whose names are passed down in the Huangji Palace!"

"What qualifications do you have?!"

After Zhu Yijun asked He Xinyin, he pointed at Shen Li: "Only like him can be a student of the Son of Heaven!"

Shen Li couldn't help straightening his chest here, overlooking He Xinyin who was kneeling on the ground.

Zhang Juzheng also felt relieved.

At first, he listened to Zhu Yijun explain to He Xinyin why his knowledge was only supported by a few people, and worried that Zhu Yijun was deliberately helping He Xinyin to promote the knowledge he advocated.

Now that Zhu Yijun said that, he no longer had such worries, and glanced at He Xinyin.

"There is no distinction between teaching and learning. Why does the emperor have to be a Jinshi to regard him as his disciple?"

"Why can't the little people live for the emperor, this is not the act of a virtuous person!"

Because of this, He Xinyin argued unconvincedly.

Zhu Yijun sneered: "You don't have to define me by being virtuous or not. I don't recognize your Taoism. In my eyes, there is a difference in the status of this person. People just want to be superior, including you He Xinyin. .”

"So, my disciples can only be Jinshi, and if they are not Jinshi, they can't! At most Jinshi can be divided into civil and military!"

Hearing what Zhu Yijun said, Zhang Juzheng was completely relieved, knowing that he, the emperor's student, did not agree with He Xinyin's thoughts. Although he agreed that the people had desires and the king had desires, he still did not advocate equality like He Xinyin.

"How can you be as virtuous as Yan Shannong?"

He Xinyin muttered.

"what are you saying?"

Zhu Yijun was very deaf. He heard He Xinyin's muttering, but it was not clear, so he asked.

He Xinyin didn't dare to hide it: "Back to the emperor, Xiaomin said, you and Yan Shannong have the same virtue, Yan Shannong recruits disciples, he has to beat the student three times to make him his disciple."

"He Xinyin! You are simply rebellious!"

At this moment, Zhang Juzheng finally couldn't help scolding He Xinyin, and said to Zhu Yijun: "Your Majesty, please punish He Xinyin!"

In fact, Zhang Juzheng never took the initiative to ask Zhu Yijun to kill anyone.

Including the former Liu Tai, Fu Yingzhen, and Fu Que's officials who were killed, as well as the officials who were killed for cleaning up the door, were essentially ordered by the emperor Zhu Yijun.

Zhang Juzheng just cooperated passively.

It can also be said to take the initiative to take the blame.

But this time, it was the first time that Zhang Juzheng asked the emperor to kill someone.

It can be seen that He Xinyin really offended Zhang Juzheng, making Zhang Juzheng really unable to tolerate it anymore.

"Sir, don't be angry."

Zhu Yijun persuaded Zhang Juzheng instead.

The main reason is that he came from a later life, so he was not surprised by someone like He Xinyin who didn't take the king too seriously, so he didn't have too many mood swings. He just sneered, and then continued to say to He Xinyin:

"Your analogy is inappropriate. I set a threshold for those who become disciples of the Son of Heaven, because we only accept talents who can study hard, cultivate moral character, and have the ambition to serve the country, not to damage their personal dignity and make them abandon their own personal dignity first." ;”

"If Yan Shannong wants to be his student, he will first receive his three punches, which is considered to damage his personality first, so that he can only be controlled by him, and he is willing to control and enslave him;"

"That's why you couldn't figure it out at that time, and you also found an opportunity to punch Yan Shannong three times, but scholars all over the world didn't get confused because of what I did, and they didn't want to take the imperial examination;"

"That's the difference!"

"Respect for personality is a natural need for everyone. How can I take it away and humiliate it? The only reason for me to abandon it."

"That's why I don't take anyone's personality by force. But people do have differences in status, and they also have the right to pursue themselves more than others. I can't go against this human feeling, and I won't let people in the world have the desire to be noble."

"So the outstanding ones will be given a higher status!"

"He Xinyin's Taoism is wrong here. You only pay attention to making people in the world equal in personality, but you ignore people's right to seek nobles."

"So, after being influenced by your Taoism, although the common people admit that they want to resist injustice, they are more willing to use riots to trample the big households, corrupt officials and evil gentry who have caused injustice under their feet, humiliate them wantonly, and take their private wealth. Innocent family members, and the fact that I am above it."

"It's the same with you yourself. You only pay attention to being friends with everyone, but you still enjoy the privileges brought by fame and fame, and enjoy the status above the common people with peace of mind;"

"Even when you first came to the imperial court, you still thought about taking advantage of my position higher than my husband's, using my status as a king and my husband as a minister, and using my imperial power to get rid of my husband!"

"That's why, when you saw me, you deliberately begged for mercy from my husband first, deliberately creating a phenomenon that people in the world, including you He Xinyin, a Confucian scholar, fear my husband more than me, so that I can do it accordingly. Have the heart to kill Mister!"

Zhu Yijun asked He Xinyin as he spoke, "Tell me, do you think this way, and you don't really just think that your husband won't tolerate you?"
