But no one expected that ethics would eventually be defeated by a small businessman who recycled waste cloth.

This is really ironic.

Once "noble" is contaminated by "dirty", it is beyond salvation.

The Liu San case had already attracted the attention of the whole country, so after the verdict, ethics and religion immediately went away and basically couldn't come back.

As long as the people no longer trust ethics, ethics naturally have no need for ethics, because ethics is not meant to be fun for the upper class, but to fool the lower class.

If the lower-class person doesn't listen, there will be no more fun in the upper class.

This is really an avalanche.

But every snowflake in it is innocent.

They blame everything.

The ministers in the court grew up reading the books of sages. Seeing that their former beliefs were despised by the people, they really couldn't bear it. They were still doing their last efforts to save Confucianism. All the civil and military officials in the court knelt in front of the Tai Chi gate, but this was no longer a game, but begging.

Beg the emperor to give Confucianism a chance and not let Confucianism be done like this.

In this situation, as long as the Emperor and Shang combination is used to work harder, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Let’s not talk about ethics, but if this continues, Confucianism will also finish it.

You guys are having a little too ruthless.

Wang Jiaping, Xu Guo and others were all crying.

At the same time, they also believe that for thousands of years, Confucianism has been the main factor in maintaining social stability. Once Confucianism is completely buried, society will also be in turmoil, which is not conducive to national stability.

"Haha, fortunately I didn't go to Nanjing, otherwise I wouldn't have seen this scene." The fat man hid in the corner and looked at the minister kneeling in front of him, and felt so happy.

Although even Aunt Xu and Kou Weisha felt sorry for this, the fat man was really not sad at all. He felt happy and nothing else.

Pure and cool!

Although he was also a Confucian scholar, he was disciplined by Zhang Juzheng since he was a child. After taking power, he was taught a lesson by court officials. They all said the same thing, and he spoke Confucian scholars and kept his ethics. He really hated him, and he felt that Confucian scholars were against him.

Otherwise, he would not have made up his mind.

Haven't you been very arrogant before?

The fat guy smiled very happily.

I'll be honest this time.

Confucianism is not invincible either.

"Report to Your Majesty, Consultant Guo is here."

Li Gui came to Wanli and whispered, afraid of disturbing the fat man's interest.

Wanli nodded, looked forward again, then waved his hand, and said, "Go and tell them that I will hold a court meeting in the near future, and all matters will be discussed at the meeting at that time."

"Sister obeys the order."

After giving the order, Wanli went to the study and had a separate talk with Guo Dan.

"See...!"

"No need to be polite!"

Without waiting for Guo Dan to salute, Wanli waved his hand and smiled: "Guo Dan, you kid are so smart. When the drama goes out, they will be helpless. Have fun! Have fun! Haha!"

Guo Dan said modestly: "Your Majesty is too much of a reward. It is not that he is smart, but that they usually only speak and do not do it. They use Confucianism to persuade the emperor and the people, but they are not bound by this. The credit is theirs. It is simply hypocritical. If you want to speak in a humble way, Confucianism can have its current status with the support of the emperor. It has nothing to do with these corrupt scholars, but they shamelessly count all the credit on their heads, as if they can really represent Confucianism. It is really ridiculous!"

"Well said!"

Wanli was so excited that he immediately slapped the table. It was really a confidant. When it comes to his heart, we may not feel sorry for this in this world, and said, "I think so too. They always think that the emperor cannot live without Confucianism. I still want to try it out, who is inseparable from whom."

He fought for who was ruling the Ming Dynasty, Confucianism, or my fat man.

Guo Dan said again: "But Your Majesty, Confucianism has influenced the land of China for thousands of years. Now Confucianism has lost its dominance. In a short period of time, there will inevitably be severe ideological turmoil in society. Now, only Your Majesty can calm the society down. Huyi believes that he must quickly appease the people's hearts, so that people can avoid taking the opportunity to cause trouble."

Now I'm waiting for the final conclusion.

Wanli nodded and said, "I know, you don't have to worry about this, but I have been troubled by a problem recently."

Guo Dan was stunned and said, "I don't know what the problem is that bothering Your Majesty. I am so humble to share your worries."

Wanli said thoughtfully: "I have read the newspapers from Nanjing. The famous scholars openly said in the newspapers that if there was no Confucianism restricting the emperor, the people would definitely suffer."

Guo Tan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry about them. They are just cunning rabbits. As long as your Majesty, you can calm the society down, the people will praise Your Majesty. Regarding this, I can guarantee that their public opinion will not cause any harm to Your Majesty."

Wanli shook his head and said, "I don't think so, the people may forget it, but many people will remember it in their hearts. I also think that many ministers in the court think so, and they must be worried about it. If I am negligent, he will use this as a reason to make Confucianism come back."

Guo Dan frowned and said, "This... I have never thought about this humble position, but Your Majesty, you are wise and powerful, so how could you be negligent?"

"Don't flatter you first." Wanli smiled and said, "If Confucianism makes a comeback, they will definitely be even more excessive. This is also their usual style, and I must be careful."

Guo Dan really didn't think so thoroughly. He just cared about the present moment. After all, he couldn't eat enough. What else is more worth caring about? He first made up his productivity, and the rest was just second. So he asked, "I wonder what your Majesty plans?"

Wanli said: "I plan to add the 'The emperor committed the same crime as the common people' to the court' law. What do you think?"

“…!”

Guo Dan was dumbfounded and thought to himself, could this fat man travel through time? Or was he testing me? If we break up at this time, it would be really burned and everyone would die.

When Wanli saw Guo Dan not speaking for a long time, he asked, "Why don't you speak?"

Guo Dan was stunned and said carefully: "Your Majesty, how can this be done? You are the law. The law is determined by you. How can you still use the law to restrain yourself? This makes no sense."

Wanli frowned and said angrily: "You are so confused, and you are still pretending to be confused with me."

Guo Dan wanted to cry and said without tears: "I really don't understand. I just got rid of Confucianism, and you want to use the Legalists again. This... I feel like this is a waste of work." He must not say that he wants to limit the fat man.

Wanli said with a tweet, "Why are you not enlightened at all this time? You have said that this method is my decision. Can I still break the law?"

Guo Dan blinked and thought to himself, Huh? He seemed to make sense.

Wanli said again: "In addition, the court mainly targets civil cases. How could I have conflicts with the people? There is no way to go together. If there is really a conflict, what's the point of giving in."

How much money can the people have? Do I need that little money now?

I'll go to the stock market and I can donate one.

Guo Dan said: "But Your Majesty, I heard that during the Zhengde period, there was a big eunuch named Liu Jin. Just the things he did, if the court... well..."

Wanli said with confidence: "That's also a eunuch who broke the law, what does it have to do with me?"

Speaking of this, he touched his beard and thoughtfully said, "It's those officials."

Guo Dan suddenly realized that his inner admiration for Wanli was like a surging river, continuous, and like the Yellow River flooding, unstoppable. The water was so watery.

Discuss the matter on the matter.

This emperor could hardly have direct conflicts with the people. Since Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, there has been a Zhengde ancestor who personally went to fight to force the women of the people. The Ming Dynasty god Zhu Qizhen, although he destroyed the Ming army with his own strength, it was not illegal. Therefore, the chance of this is very small, and the emperor and the people are unlikely to have direct conflicts. The tax increase is a national policy and has nothing to do with the Third Court.

Besides, Wanli will not increase taxes now. He has bought such a big business. He believes that this is a long-term solution. The emperor should engage in the stock trading industry instead of asking the people for money, which has no future.

Therefore, he asked Zhu Changxun to study in Yaxing.

Moreover, Wanli and Zhengde and Tianqi are different. He always has a guard against eunuchs, and his attitude doesn't matter. No matter what kind of feelings or feelings are, they can't be compared with dantian. There is only one dantian in the world, but there are countless eunuchs who say so.

Zhang Jing?

Haha, I threw it away, Wanli did not hesitate and never missed it.

But he still missed him very much after leaving for a long trip.

However, officials are likely to have direct conflicts with the people.

On the surface, this fat man wants to restrict himself, but in fact he is limiting the entire bureaucratic group. He wants to govern himself with his own way. You used Confucianism to restrict me, but not yourself. Now I have to use Legalism to restrict you, but at the same time, not restrict me.

In addition, it can block the mouths of everyone.

I set an example and use the law to limit me, so Li Shimin is a ball.

"Excuse me!"

Guo Dan couldn't help but praise: "Your Majesty, your move is really amazing. You can't even think of a humble position even if you break your head."

"Haha!" Wanli laughed proudly and said, "Actually, this is also the inspiration you gave me."

Guo Dan was stunned for a moment and said, "I'm humble...humble position?"

He also thought about it hard, but after thinking about it, it seemed that he had never instilled such a dangerous idea into the fat man.

If you can only say this kind of thing, what the emperor himself says, and what others say is to be desperate.

Wei Zhengke didn't dare to tell Li Shimin like this!

Wanli nodded and said, "You bombarded the Minister's Mansion for several lives. Isn't it okay? There is no one to scold you." He seemed to say, you will be fine, I will be fine.
Chapter completed!
