Chapter 428 Compilation of Crimes

Chapter 428 Compilation of Crimes

In the spacious and bright hall, the golden beams and pillars were surrounded by icy vapor, which also dissipated the heat of summer.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun was not so irritable, and just quietly waited for Shen Shixing to answer his own question.

And Shen Shixing, who was standing on the side of the beam, directly bowed his hands after Zhu Yijun asked this question, with a happy expression, and said with a slight smile:

"This minister said this to His Majesty, but His Majesty has realized this."

"Then why didn't the master mention it to me?"

Zhu Yijun asked.

Shen Shixing then replied: "Meat eaters are contemptible and can't plan far; how can the father follow his short-sightedness?"

"Besides, there is no reason for a minister to demand that the court does not benefit the people with selfish desires, so how can he persuade the emperor to be Yao and Shun?"

"If a country wants to be ruled by virtue, everyone has to have few desires and abstain from one's desires. You can't just make the common people like nothing just because you can't be a master. How is this different from animals?"

"So, it's not good for me to mention this matter."

"Master scolded well!"

Zhu Yijun said with a smile.

"On the surface, it is possible to preach and teach in this way, and in terms of etiquette and law, we must respect morality and benevolence, but when it comes to governing the country, we still have to follow the reality."

"Master doesn't mention it, it doesn't mean that this kind of desire to be a master can be curbed and will disappear. There are very few people who can truly have few desires and abstinence! At least there are few people who are completely ascetic and abstinent."

"How many people are there in the world like Haigang Peak?"

After Zhu Yijun said that, he asked a question.

"Your Majesty said yes!"

"It's time to think about these things now. You can't really believe that the rentiers in the world can really abstain from desire and joy, and keep the courtesy and morality. Your Majesty shouldn't really treat them as gentlemen, but treat them as villains, and even treat them as gentlemen." We must follow his villainous desires, otherwise the New Deal will become a castle in the air."

Shen Shixing replied at this time.

Zhu Yijun nodded and said: "So, from this point of view, we can only suffer from the barbarians and treat the barbarians as our slaves."

"But in this way, there should be less killing and more domestication."

"The minister has clearly ordered the governor not to slaughter the barbarians, but to take care of the barbarians!"

Shen Shixing replied at this time.

"That's good!"

Zhu Yijun nodded and continued: "In addition, the barbarian nobles should be punished severely for all immoral and shameless crimes. The barbarian people are their slaves. Now we have to destroy them and make the barbarians our servants of the Han people."

"What your majesty said is that according to the reports from the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs abroad, being a servant of the Han people in our country is better than being a citizen of the barbarian nobles, so this is completely popular!"

"It can also be seen from this that the new ceremony will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but it still takes time for people inside and outside to gradually understand."

Shen Shixing replied.

Zhu Yijun nodded, then lowered his face and said: "Although governing the country needs to be practical, one cannot ignore one's selfish desires, especially the desire to be rich and happy without harming others, but the new rituals advocate abstinence and few desires. Rather than completely follow their own desires!"

"Virtue should still be respected, and saints and gentlemen should still be loved and respected!"

"Otherwise, if you let his selfish desires spread, I really don't know what kind of evil will come out. If you dare to incest today, will you be able to enslave your children tomorrow?"

"Wang Hua did not expand externally purely to satisfy the desires of beasts, but to unify civilization, and then rescue the barbarian people, make them know the etiquette and morality, and then truly realize the unification of rituals and systems in the world, and the people grow in order."

"My emperor shall be the hero of the universe!"

Therefore, Shen Shixing bowed directly and kowtowed to the ground.

Zhu Yijun stood up at this moment and said, "Thus, these sanctimonious people who have been accused of committing a lot of crimes should be punished according to the law!"

"In addition, these crimes must be compiled by the Hanlin officials and made public! And use this to start a big reflection on the old rites, especially among these people, the scholar-bureaucrats who strictly abide by the old rites and advocate the old rites must be carefully analyzed. , Let’s ask those people in the world who still respect the old rites, are they also so sanctimonious? Ask them, whether they want to be the accomplices of the unkind or unrighteous, or whether they want to make the world all hypocrites, or even return to the old Li to cover up these crimes?"

As Zhu Yijun spoke, he looked at Shen Shixing and continued: "Then let's start a big discussion, and you will preside over it personally, master, and discuss whether the scholar-bureaucrats who respect the old rites can't abide by the old rites, should we still advise the emperor to keep the old rites?" Rituals, should I and the kings of future generations only use the new rituals as the way to maintain integrity?"

"At the same time, let's discuss whether it is really appropriate for the gentry to self-govern the area if the literati and bureaucrats who abide by the old rites cannot completely eliminate the evil, and the government does not let the government go down. Shouldn't the disadvantages of top priority and bottom priority be rediscussed?"

Shen Shihang said yes.

"How can it be compiled into a canon! If this is the case, don't Lu Gong and others want to be infamous for thousands of years?!"

And when Zhu Yijun issued an order to publish the crimes of the accused scholar-officials to the world, Xiao Yin couldn't accept it at all for a while, and asked Yang Yingkui, Zhang Jing and others excitedly.

Yang Yingkui sneered and said: "This is to further prove that the old etiquette is out of date, so that people in the world are more willing to respect the new etiquette in order not to lose the name of a gentleman because of minor mistakes. It’s just that Zhu and Wang pay equal attention, but Wang and Zhang pay equal attention, and Cheng and Zhu’s learning is completely discarded, thinking that the new rituals make way!”

"hateful!"

"First, Wang Chen and other Confucian scholars were ordered to enter the Confucian Temple, and now they are using the system of secret reports to compile the code of the evil deeds of the scholar-bureaucrats, without covering them up, and practicing the three taboos. Their intentions must not be fearless. The key is that if this continues, basically respect If your father can't hide his faults, how can the imperial power be supreme?"

As an eunuch from Neishutang, Zhang Jing was naturally able to speak out his own truth at this time.

But Yang Yingkui couldn't help complaining after hearing this: "So I said that this must be the treacherous party in the court who is coercing the emperor and messing up the government! Otherwise, how can the emperor destroy his foundation?"

"But in fact, this is not enough to affect the foundation of the imperial power. After all, even the sages say that the emperor treats his ministers as worthless, and the ministers treat the emperor as an enemy. Besides, since ancient times, there has never been anyone who dared to pull the emperor down, so it is not the imperial power that is affected by this. But it is difficult for us scholars to be more expensive than the common people of our clan because of the old etiquette! If this continues, not only the officials and gentry will pay food and errands, but even the officials, gentry and rich people will pay more food and Nading silver. The world is united."

Xiao Yin spoke at this moment.

"How can this work!"

"Don't you gentlemen have any countermeasures?"

Zhang Jing said something suddenly, and asked about Yang Yingkui and others.

Yang Yingkui said: "It's not that there is nothing. In the final analysis, everything is a word of profit. We literati and bureaucrats need to pay food and money, but Buddhas, monks and Taoists can always not pay food and money, right? What's more, the current Empress Dowager worships Buddha!"

"It makes sense."

Zhang Jing said.

Yang Yingkui said: "I have sent people to Beijing to contact the dignitaries, and I plan to use the Queen Mother to facilitate this matter, so that the world's monastery farms will be completely exempted from taxes and labor, so that we can donate land to temples, and then become more expensive because of respect for Buddha, and become Buddhists instead of Confucianism! "

"That's all."

"I have invited a degree to stay at home and built a family temple."

Xiao Yin replied with a sigh.

Zhang Jing did not speak.
