All the ministers in the hall of justice held their breath, the air seemed to condense, and everyone seemed to be able to hear their own heartbeat.
Since Xiao Ming's accession to the throne, the Empire has fought South and North, and laid down a vast territory, so most of the discussions in the court are about foreign affairs.
Today, so many officials were punished in front of them, which made them feel cold. After all, how many clean people are there in the court?
"Emperor, as the owner of the Fei family, I should die for failing to discipline my own people."
When everyone was worried, Fiji suddenly knelt down and burst into tears. The eyes of all the officials fell on Fiji. Some officials breathed a sigh of relief, while some officials turned pale with fright.
Xiao Ming sneered. Fiji belongs to his father-in-law, but they are even more monarchs and ministers. He said, "in that case, it's up to you to tell us the whole story."
Fiji lowers his head, and Xiao Ming's business tone makes him feel that the big thing is not good. This time, even if he is not involved, I'm afraid that the Fei family will be stripped off.
After a moment's hesitation, he decided to give up his life and protect the commander. He knew Xiao Ming better than anyone else. The emperor seemed to be indifferent to the government. In fact, he was clear-minded and had his own principles that he could not touch.
If anyone crosses the red line, it must be bad luck. His Fei family seems to have the same scenery now, but with a nod from Xiao Ming, the big Fei family will disappear.
"Yesterday morning, sun Feitong, his younger brother, had a dispute over the seats between the aristocrat and the poor family, and then stabbed the student with a knife. After making a big mistake, Fei Tong not only didn't repent, but instigated the bookboy to go to Fei's house and asked his father to use his contacts money to buy Li Ran, the principal of Qingzhou senior high school, the guard house and other officials to suppress the matter, and Fei was killed Yu, regardless of right and wrong, made even more mistakes. The old minister had already reprimanded them yesterday. As for Fei Tong's violation of the imperial law, he must not pay dividends. I hope the emperor will punish him severely! " Fijian said solemnly.
"Have you heard what old Fogg said?" Xiao Ming glanced at the ministers and said, "you may as well express your opinions on this matter today and make it clear."
Pang Yukun glanced at Fiji, who was kneeling on the ground. He first stepped out and said, "emperor, the reason why Fei Tong hurt people is that he was not disciplined and was used to bullying. But the deeper reason for this is the difference between the poor and the noble. As far as I know, the students from poor families in Qingzhou senior high school are quite different from those from noble families It's the rule of the family sitting in the East and the poor family sitting in the West. The students of the noble family often bully the poor family's children by virtue of their influence. "
After a pause, he said, "it seems like an accident that Fei Tong hurt people yesterday. In fact, it is inevitable. In recent years, there are many students who drop out of the college because they can't bear to be bullied. The common people also complain about this injustice. I hope the emperor can see it clearly."
Zhan Xingchang went on to step out and said in a loud voice: "emperor, the distinction between the high and the low is not only in schools, but also in the whole world. The Empire has made rapid progress in science and technology and culture in recent years, but the thinking of the powerful and powerful people in Dayu has not changed at all. It's just that with the popularization of education, people's wisdom has developed. If we can't adjust measures to local conditions and conform to the current situation, we are afraid that there will be big trouble in the future."
At the end of their words, the court ministers began to whisper and look very different.
Ge Yiren then slowly stood up and said, "the emperor, the duty of the son of heaven is to maintain the ceremony, the division and the name. What is the ceremony? Ji Gang is also, just as the so-called monarch is minister Gang, father is son Gang, husband is wife gang; what is division? It's just the difference between the king and the minister. What's the name? The Duke's uncle is a man
Turning to look at Pang Yukun, Ge Yiren continued: "today, the Empire has a vast territory, and there are thousands of people. They are all subject to the emperor, because the emperor controls the cabinet, the cabinet controls all officials, and all officials control the common people. Confucius said: "heaven is superior to earth, heaven and earth are inferior, heaven and earth are fixed, the inferiority is higher than Chen, the nobleness is inferior." It is not easy to distinguish between the noble and the humble. Because of the decline of the royal family of Fu Zhou, all the princes in the world dare not respect it. "
"What Ge Ge Ge said is very true. The difference between the high and the low is a great gift. The emperor should think twice about it Wang Chengye, the Minister of rites, came forward.
Xiao Ming frowned deeply. If Ge Yiren had put it hundreds of years ago, he might have clapped his hands and praised it, because such a thought was needed to maintain the rule of the country in that age of barbarism and ignorance.
But now the times seem to be different, the time has entered the 18th century, and the way of relying on literati and feudal ideology to manage the country has fallen behind.
In the modern era, it is more necessary for the people to unite and play their potential to make the country and nation strong. The pedantic scholar bureaucrats should be thrown into the garbage heap of history.
In today's court hall, Ge Yiren and Wang Chengye openly summoned the spirits of the scholar bureaucrats, which made him very angry, because it can be seen that the implementation of new Confucianism must be mixed with a lot of private goods.
To suppress his anger, Xiao Ming said, "old Ge Ge Ge quoted classics and had something to say. It's true that he is erudite. It's just that every word you say is pulling the back leg of the Empire!"
As he spoke, Xiao Ming clapped his arm angrily and stood up abruptly. "When I was the king of Qi, the land of six states was full of starvation and desolation. The Qingzhou aristocrats had evil intentions and colluded with each other inside and outside. If I hadn't made good use of the people's hearts, made good friends with the people, and made real profits for the people, so as to unite people's hearts and destroy the powerful families in one fell swoop Since then, I have known that the people are to the country what water is to the boat. We are only rowers. We should be in awe. "Step by step, when he came to ge Yiren and Wang Chengye, Xiao Ming walked around them and said, "I've written all these principles in Neo Confucianism. It seems that Ge Ge Ge didn't remember a single word. Besides, if your firm courtesy is so useful, why are there Dynasty ups and downs and disorderly officials and thieves in history? It can be seen that these are just bullshit words. I only remember Wang Chaoshun The people will prosper, and the people will perish. "
When Xiao Ming's words fell, the ministers were all silent. Yang Chengye's eyes were full of tears. He bowed down and said, "the emperor's words moved the ministers. It's a great fortune for the Empire to have the emperor, and for the common people to have the emperor."
Ge Yiren and Wang Chengye look very ugly. Xiao Ming gives them two mouths in front of everyone.
With an inexplicable smile in his mouth, Xiao Ming looked at GE Yiren and said, "Ge Ge Ge, since you haven't learned Neo Confucianism thoroughly, you should go home and study it carefully. When you have studied it thoroughly and understood it, you can go to court again. As for the Ministry of rites, it's time to withdraw!"
Wang Chengye smell speech, face pale, only feel a soft knee, "plop" a kneel on the ground.
