Chapter 478 Give me reflection
"It's raining!"
"It's really raining!"
"Your Majesty, it's really raining now!"
Shen Shixing therefore looked at Zhu Yijun with joy.
Zhu Yijun also smiled slightly, and then glanced at the ministers around him, seeing that most of these ministers looked more dignified, he asked:
"But why are few of them happy, and their faces are uglier than before the rain?"
Zhu Yijun said as he said: "Preach my will, cheer me up, and rest for half a day, and go back to my family to have fun together! Then write a congratulatory form and present it."
"In addition, the decree was passed that King Su had meritorious service in raining, and rewarded the prince with a double salary, and led the officials of the Qin Tianjian to rush to the severely drought-stricken areas of the country to implement the rain."
Zhu Yijun looked at Chen Younian, Shi Xing and others after saying this:
"In the early court, some officials who assumed that it was not raining were related to political affairs, come to me!"
Then, Chen Younian, Shi Xing, and Ban Jin all came over.
Zhu Yijun looked at the three people: "You three, what do you have to say about the artificial rain?"
"My lord is guilty!"
"It almost misled His Majesty to believe that natural disasters are related to human affairs!"
Shi Xing first knelt down on the ground full of puddles, and replied.
Seeing this, Zhu Yijun didn't say anything, just said: "I will go to prison to reflect and write a conclusion. No matter what the point of view, I will not be guilty, but there must be reasons and evidence, otherwise I will be sent to the imperial edict all the time." Stay in prison!"
Zhu Yijun left here after speaking.
After the rain came down, the common people also cheered happily.
Throughout Gyeonggi, everyone rushed to tell each other.
The boss of the grain merchant lowered the price of grain reluctantly, and it was a big drop.
"It's down! It's all down!"
Tu Sanmu had long been standing outside the grain store to check the prices. When he saw the price of grain plummeting, he ran home happily. Then he didn't pay attention to his feet, so he overturned the wooden basin that was holding the water and fell into it. It rains everywhere.
Seeing this, Tu Ermu picked up a feather duster and beat it: "Stinky boy, it made me receive Tianshui for nothing!"
At this time, the whole neighborhood put out wooden pots and pots under the eaves to collect jade and beads.
At this time, fellow eunuch Fang Lishun also leaned on his stick and looked at the densely packed silver threads covering the entire neighborhood with a smile, and said: "Finally, it's better to fight the Dragon King than to seek the Dragon King!"
As he said that, Fang Lishun saw his old friend from the same department, Chen Younian, and two officials escorted by Jin Yiwei.
Fang Lishun came over because of this, and asked, "Why was the father arrested at this time?"
Chen Younian didn't answer, he just murmured: "Why, why didn't it come sooner or later, why did it happen at this time."
Then, under Fang Lishun's attention, Chen Younian and Shi Xing were taken to the prison.
As soon as he arrived in the prison, Luo Wanhua, who was still studying in the prison, was Chen Younian's teacher, and after Chen Younian passed away, he was also very surprised, and asked, "Why are you here?"
"The disciple said that after the emperor prayed for rain, there was still no rain in the capital, which may be related to the failure to amnesty the world, so he was sentenced to prison."
Chen Younian replied.
Luo Wanhua knew that Chen Younian mentioned this to let His Majesty let him go out, so he couldn't help asking him: "Why are you talking about this?!"
"Don't you want to get out of prison, sir?"
Chen Younian asked.
Luo Wanhua said: "I don't want to!"
Chen Younian couldn't help but startled.
Then, Luo Wanhua said again: "The reason why I was longed for this is because I have committed many crimes, such as corrupting the national system in Renzhi County, Huguang, and only knowing lectures, etc., so I have the opportunity to continue to be imprisoned here. If I really don't go out, isn't my confession in vain?"
Chen Younian said "Oh", "I don't know."
"idiot!"
Luo Wanhua cursed and asked, "Is it raining outside?"
Chen Younian nodded: "How does Mr. know, because he can calculate God's will."
"Your clothes are wet and your hair is wet. You said that if it wasn't raining outside, wouldn't Jin Yiwei be willing to give you a bath first?"
After Luo Wanhua asked, he scolded again: "How did you become an official!"
Then, Luo Wanhua asked him again: "Your Majesty succeeded in praying for rain?"
"It's not that His Majesty succeeded in praying for rain, but King Su and the others succeeded in raining with their practical knowledge!"
"Sir, this is a scary place!"
"That's why the disciples are all focused on this now, so they seem even more stupid."
Chen Younian replied.
Luo Wanhua fell silent after hearing this.
After a while, Luo Wanhua said: "Obviously the Dao is only in oneself. If everyone wants to rain, the sky will rain by itself. The Son of Heaven prays for rain according to the desire of the people and the Dao, but now it is not relying on such a successful rain." If natural disasters cannot constrain the emperor to obey the will of the people, then what else can constrain the emperor to put the people first?"
After Luo Wanhua said that, he said again: "Or is the Dao not in oneself? What I learned in the past was wrong?"
……
"If it wasn't for the public confession and the admission that natural disasters have nothing to do with human affairs, we might have been given death by His Majesty at that time."
Ban Jin, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, who was locked in the cell next to Shi Xing, also told Shi Xing what happened today.
Shi Xing had no choice but to smile bitterly: "Although I said this for the sake of Gou's life, if natural disasters really should not be dealt with by human affairs, and the will of the Son of Heaven represents the will of God, then people in the world may find it difficult to speak through the sky."
"Yes, the wisdom of the people will be greatly opened."
"In addition, once the morality of Confucian classics cannot be related to natural weather, it may be difficult for Confucian scholars to be respected by the world. In that case, there will be a major change unseen in a thousand years."
Ban Jin said at this time.
Shi Xing then looked at Ban Jin: "Then how do you plan to write a reflection book? Is it to persuade your majesty to continue to believe in the connection between heaven and man, and sincerity leads to spirituality?"
Ban Jin smiled wryly: "Your Majesty won't believe it! It's better to say that the will of God is the will of God, than to say that there is no will of God!"
Shi Xing nodded.
……
Wang Jiaping has been out of Beijing to Hanhai for many days, but when he took a break on the way, a friend sent someone to bring him the news that it was raining in the capital.
"Is it really raining in Gyeonggi?"
Overjoyed, Wang Jiaping asked Yang Ji, the student who came to report the news to him.
Yang Ji replied: "It's raining, but it's not because His Majesty prayed for rain, but Qin Tianjian succeeded in raining with practical methods according to the order."
Wang Jiaping was also silent after hearing this, and sighed after a long time: "Holy will is God's will!"
……
"Because I have the constitution of heaven in my mouth, I am the will of heaven, so it is I who deliberately let King Su and others succeed in raining through various practical knowledge, so that the rain can succeed!"
"So the real knowledge is correct, not because the truth itself exists and remains unchanged, but because I, the Son of Heaven, believe it, so he has become the truth!"
"The reason they have reflected on for so long in the imperial prison is actually this!"
"Let's take a look, master, and tell us what you think."
Zhu Yijun asked about Shen Shixing after receiving the reflection memorials from Chen Younian, Shi Xing and other ministers.
Shen Shixing bowed his hands and said yes, and looked at these memorials, and said to Zhu Yijun after a long while: "Qizuo, let the civil and military officials, and even the common people of the world, be willing to accept that there is something in this world that they cannot control everything in the world through their own will. The natural law of everything is still difficult."
"Even if the will is correct or not, only let the Son of Heaven decide, that's better than admitting that human desires cannot resist the way of nature!"
"Because if this is not the case, it means that the world cannot be dominated by them, and there is no basis for distinction between people, but many people still want to be superior to others."
