Chapter 768: The Dynasty (Part 2)

.Chapter 768: Go to court (Chinese)

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

"Look at me with your ears." said silently.

"If you want to eliminate the disaster, you need to first investigate the origin." Yu Yin asked seriously: "The Magna Carta is indeed the first place for pearls and jade, but the United Kingdom is thousands of miles away, and both national conditions and political systems are very different from our country. If you copy it, you will definitely make oranges in the south and tangerines in the north and make bitter fruits." Seeing the silent nod, he continued: "If you want to achieve the joint governance of the king and minister of the Ming Dynasty, you must first understand why one monarch has been governed alone for two thousand years."

"Or, where is the secret of a king's own rule?" Wang Yin took over the conversation and said, "Why can it be consistent and last forever?"

"I wish to hear it carefully." Chen Shu nodded.

"The key lies in the word "Qin system"" Yu Yin said in a deep voice: "Although the Qin Dynasty has risen and fallen, its political and cultural heritage has been poisoned by later generations. The "Records of the Grand Historian" says, "The King of Qin has a greedy heart, practices his own wisdom, does not believe in meritorious officials, does not follow the scholars and the people, abolishes the king's way, establishes private rights, prohibits documents and tortures laws, first deceitful force and then be kind and righteous, and takes tyranny as the beginning of the world." This is the best summary of Qin Shihuang's "achie"." He paused: "Ying Zheng died and the Qin Dynasty was destroyed, but the Qin system was passed down from generation to generation and was continuously strengthened, and eventually evolved into a system that governs the world with "Confucianism and the law inside" and builds a system that is difficult to change for thousands of people."

"The core of the Qin system is the sacred power of the monarchy." Wang Yin continued: "The King of Qin took the name of "Huangdi" and changed it to "Emperor". He proudly regarded the residence of the "Son of Heaven" and called himself a "true dragon". The two descendants of Xunxue, Han Fei and Li Si. They were the Confucian scholars of the outside and the inside, and advocated the use of harsh punishment and violence to achieve the so-called social principles and norms. They naturally hit it off with the King of Qin who governed the country by punishment, and used laws and techniques to complement each other... On the one hand, they blatantly punished severely and severely. The people have to be subtle and small; while the emperor's lofty and unpredictable status was determined through various rituals and sacrifices, and ultimately, the people gave up their nobleness and recognized the sacred power of the king. Since then, the people have fallen into the bottomless abyss. The king can ask for whatever he wants, or abuse his subjects without any shame. Whether it is the "Law of the Song Dynasty" or the "Law of the Ming Dynasty", there is no law that can restrict the emperor's actions, life and death, everything is only in one thought."

"It's so good." Chen Shun said: "So I have always disdained the analysis of the literati and tyrants of the literati and tyrants of the past dynasties on the 'wise king' and 'wisted king'. This is really meaningless. In fact, whether it is a 'wise king' or 'wisted king', the difference is only fifty and one hundred steps. Since it is a 'monarch' and a god', the middle class has no restrictions from the aristocratic class, and the supervision of literati and tyrants has no institutional guarantee. Most of the wise kings' advice is just a moth to the fire, which is useless. The only hope is that His Majesty the Emperor's personal quality and conscience have been discovered."

"And in an environment where honor and wealth are invincible, the possibility of raising a good emperor is very small." Yu Yin continued: "So under a single person, the 'governance' in the world is accidental, and 'ravity' is of course. This is the real answer to Li Zhi's question." Li Zhi asked at that time, why did Mencius say that the world is chaotic and ruling for only more than a hundred years? His answer at that time was that because the monarch for most of the time, he forgot his responsibilities and obviously did not say it thoroughly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Then the answer comes out." Wang Yin said in a deep voice: "The deification of the king's power is the secret of a king's own rule. If you want to break this deification, you must first break this deification. There is no other way."

"After more than two thousand years of evolution," Shen Mingchen continued: "This deification has evolved into a specific norm, that is, ethics and rituals are headed by the Three Bonds, and the Three Bonds are headed by the ethics of the monarch and the ministers. The power of the monarch is supreme, because it contains three unquestionable axioms: one is the imperial power granted by heaven; the second is the imperial power unlimited; the third is the imperial power always perfect. Without breaking these three axioms, it is impossible to shake the ethics of the monarch and the ministers, let alone shake the regularity of the monarch and the ministers.

"In the Sangonghuai debate, there is only one goal we have to achieve, which is to reshape the relationship between the monarch and the ministers, subvert these three axioms, and open a small gap." Yu Yin said slowly: "So we have newly explained the 'monarch, the monarch, the ministers, and the ministers'" proposed that the emperor must first give to the people of the world, and then deny the infinity of the imperial power; he also denied Mencius's chaos and governance, and proposed that for two thousand years it could be called a chaotic world, and then denied the perfection of the imperial power."

"Actually, I proposed that the saying "There was no king in ancient times, and the world recommended it to him" was to deny the imperial power and divine empowerment." Shen Mingchen continued with a smile: "But they rejected it, saying that this would definitely cause trouble. It would be better not to think about eating a fat man in one bite, and it would be better to do it slowly."

"According to the arrangement of the adults, the Sangonghuai debate is just the first step in the entire plan," Yu Yin flattered him and said, "Next, the academies, schools, lectures, and newspapers in Jiangnan will continue to discuss the Sangonghuai debate, and our people will guide them appropriately; at the same time, some related books will also be spread secretly; when the time is right, then attack Xun Xue, and then Cheng and Zhu Neo-Confucianism... step by step, from 30 to 50 years, and from 10 to 20 years, you can finally break through the cage and break the superstition of the monarchy."

"The important thing is to guide Shi Lin to think." Wang Yin said: "To this day, more and more people are dissatisfied with the imperial power. It's just that everyone hasn't thought about it yet, just waiting for us to break the window paper."

After listening to the narratives of the three of them, Shen Mo sighed from the bottom of his heart: "I am not as many as you." Indeed, although he never dared to underestimate the ancients, in the field of thought, he always felt that with his own five hundred years ahead, he always understood better than the ancients. Now the three great talents told him with practical actions that as long as they open a window for them, they could give him a world.

The three of them hurriedly said humbly: "Sir, don't underestimate yourself. Without your far-sighted vision, you have attracted the classics and history of Taixi, and also explained the shocking words of "the rule of the king and the ministers". We may not think so much or so far in our lives."

This sentence made Shen Mo extremely useful because his long-standing expectation was to open a window to look at the world and the future for the intellectuals of the Ming Dynasty. Now it seems that he has finally taken the first step of a gratifying congratulations.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I've said everything I should say," At this time, the intellectuals' pretentiousness was offended. Wang Yinchao bowed silently and said, "If you still blame your subordinates for making a decision, then please break me and kill me to silence me."

"Haha..." Chen Shu laughed silently and said, "Where is the Shi Yue Gong's words? I have figured out this principle long ago and am about to thank you." This is actually a bit shameless, but who told him to be the lord?

After saying that, he grabbed Wang Yin's arm intimately and said, "There are still many things that need to be planned by Shi Yuegong."

"Sir, so kind," Wang Yin felt much more comfortable and bowed, "How can I not repay you if you don't give me a pen?"

So the two laughed loudly, which made Shen Mingchen feel goosebumps and muttered in a low voice: "We are so familiar, so we still have this one..." The two of them felt quite embarrassed.

In order to cover up the embarrassment, Wang Yin said to the silent: "Sir, without your power as a guarantee, the seeds we planted in Jiangnan may die at any time, so you must seize power as soon as possible and dominate the major policies of the Ming Dynasty."

Thinking of his sixteen-character mantra, he smiled silently: "Is the era of keeping one's strength and keeping one's low-key time gone?"

"We should always keep a low profile, but this does not conflict with seizing power." Wang Yin said in a deep voice.

"But this is too difficult." Silently said: "There are four kings in the cabinet, and there are Yang Bo outside... Not to mention them, even the six ministers of the ministers are ahead of me."

"If the "Jiajing Envoy" is really implemented," Yu Yin interrupted: "A group of old ministers may be revived, and the ranking of adults may be further down."

Chen Shu knew that he was referring to the sentence in the "Last Imperial Decree": "Since ascending the throne, he has made suggestions to offend all ministers, the remaining ones summoned them, and the dead ones are resigned and reinstated first when they see the prisoners.' This sentence means that since the first year of Jiajing, ministers who offended for advice have been offended by their persuasion, those who are alive have been recruited, those who die have been restored to their reputation, and those who are locked up are immediately released and reinstated... Hai Rui was able to restore his freedom because of this last sentence.

If this order was strictly implemented, it would be terrible. As we all know, the struggle between the late emperor and his ministers ran throughout the Jiajing Dynasty. From the great ceremony to the impeachment of Yan Song, to the end of advising him to the practice of Taoism, countless ministers were dismissed from office and dismissed from office by Jiajing and sent home to farm. There are still countless people living there, including many famous and old ministers.

If all the old guys were recalled, hehe, there would be densely filled with old men in front of Lord Shen. The road of struggle that had just seen a little dawn would have to go back thirty years.

This problem is quite terrible. Just thinking about it made him sweat all over his head.

"Considering that the "The Unforgived Order" itself was designed by Xu Jie," Wang Yin said: "He must have had this idea."

"If it were him, I would have done this business." Shen Mingchen smiled and said, "I would do this business. Those old ministers who were dismissed from their posts thought that this would be the case in their lives, but they would have rejuvenated again. How could they not be grateful to him? With these people, they would stand aside, all of them stood aside." After saying that, he remembered and said, "Will you be miserable if you do this?"

As soon as this said, it immediately attracted everyone's contempt. Shen Mingchen was also ashamed of his own realization and quickly argued: "I mean, is there no way to solve it? Are those old people riding on the heads of the adults?" He said as he pretended, "Well, that's what it means." He also caused everyone to laugh.

"The only way to do it now is to start first." Wang Yin said in a deep voice: "Looking for every means to improve as soon as possible. Even if it is based on special orders, you must try to move forward."

"Special Jian, how embarrassing that?" Shen Mingchen said in a fuss.

"I can't catch up with one step, I can't catch up with every step, I can't care about so many things." Wang Yin frowned and said, "Who would have thought that Master Xu could come up with such a desperate plan."

"Well... I mean that too." Yu Yin nodded in line with the situation.

"This..." The three of them were discussing heatedly, and kept silent thinking, and said softly: "When I was in the palace, Master Xu mentioned to me that he wanted me to take over as Minister of Rites and then enter the cabinet as soon as possible."

"Will he be so kind?" Shen Mingchen expressed doubts, and Wang Yin also disagreed: "It's not a delaying plan."

"It should be true." Before Chen Si answered, Yu Yin said affirmatively: "But Mr. Xu is not for the adults, but for the other one."

"Who?" everyone asked in unison.

"The person who drafted the "The Last Decree" with him." Yu Yin did not keep a secret, "Just saying just now is Zhang Juzheng's concern. If those old ministers come back, where will Zhang Juzheng come forward?"

"So Xu Jie is likely to manipulate Zhang Juzheng into the cabinet in the near future." Shen Mingchen said suddenly: "But Zhang Juzheng's reputation and qualifications are too shallow, and all officials will definitely not accept it. This is why he dragged the adults. With the reputation of the adults, all officials will not say anything, but as long as the adults become a Grand Secretary, the difficulty of Zhang Juzheng entering the cabinet will drop sharply. After all, you are a full ten-year younger than him and are twelve years later than the Jinshi. No one can talk about his qualifications..."

"And it's very likely," Wang Yin said: "Xu Jie will arrange for you two to enter the cabinet one day, because Zhang Juzheng passed the imperial examination earlier than the adults, and in the cabinet, he will be ahead of you."

During the analysis of the three strategists, the mystery that had been silence for many days was finally solved. His eyes suddenly became clear and he said, "So that's it. It seems that Master Xu is playing a big game of chess."

"Yes." Shen Mingchen nodded and sighed: "Before the government is in control of the government, only Master Xu is qualified to play this game of chess. Even Gao Gong, even though he is rushing around, is just a car that shows off his power on the chessboard... It's ridiculous that he is overestimating his abilities and wants to compete with the chess player."

"Haha..." Wang Yin shook his head and said, "Although Gao Gong is not as good as Xu Jie at present, he has the right time, place and people, deep roots and lush leaves, and has a prosperous fortune. I am optimistic about him in the long run."

When the topic came to the topic, how should I deal with myself after I was silent. This was what he wanted to know most, so he asked: "Now that Xu Gao is fighting, I have a good relationship with them, but they are not too strong. If I really had the day I entered the cabinet, how should I deal with myself?"

"That's it..." Wang Yin smiled and said, "I'll give you eight more words to the adults."

"Please speak." Chen smiled and said, "I will definitely do it this time."

"I am going to Huating and secretly join Xinzheng." Wang Yin smiled slightly and said, "Only in this way can you always guarantee that you will not be excluded from the core of power."

"The problem is that even if I look at Mr. Xu, he will not treat me and Zhang Juzheng equally." After teaching the lessons again and again, Chen Si did not dare to underestimate the heroes of the world, so he didn't care about his face or not, and raised the most annoying question in his heart.

"Haha, we have discussed this..." Shen Mingchen smiled and said, "Sir, that's because your method is useless."

"What's the solution?" asked silently.

"You think, why does Master Xu value Zhang Juzheng so much?" Shen Mingchen said.

"Uh..." said silently: "Because Zhang Taiyue is very outstanding."

"Why do I think you are better than him?" Shen Mingchen smiled.

"Because he believed that Zhang Taiyue was his suitable successor." Chen Mo had to change his reason: "Or it is, he thought Zhang Juzheng was more suitable for this Ming Dynasty."

"Yes." Shen Mingchen nodded and said, "Since the 26th year of Jiajing, the two established a teacher-student relationship in the Hanlin Academy, Xu Jie has always taken him for granted. It is said that after spending a period of time with Zhang Juzheng, he said to him personally: 'Zhang Jun, you must be loyal to the country in the future'"

"It is no exaggeration to say that for the past twenty years, Mr. Xu has been cultivating and cultivating him. As far as I know, Zhang Juzheng was also a very famous person in the past, and was quite capable of doing things generously. He could not bear to say that the teacher was yelling to Yan Songxu. He often shouted and beat Yan Song and wanted to fight with Yan Song. He heard that he had written to Xu Jie and said, "Even if he was determined to resist the clouds, he would go alone in the world, and he would be happy."

I was silent when I first met Zhang Taiyue, how open and honest he was at that time, which made people feel heartbroken. In a blink of an eye, ten years have passed, and Zhang Ju has changed a lot. If he used to be strong and strong, then now he is a combination of hardness and softness, which is unfathomable.

Obviously, Xu Jie's subtle influence wiped out the edges and corners of Zhang Juzheng's body and gave him the necessary forbearance and cruelty in political struggles. Only in this way can he become a great person.

"Zhang Juzheng shouldn't have known many confidential national affairs, but Xu Jie just discussed it with him." Shen Mingchen continued: "Actually, Master Xu had an idea in his mind, but he had to wait for the students to say it out. This is how he can cultivate him."

"Yes, Xu Jie devoted so much effort to him just to create an ideal successor." Wang Yin nodded and said, "So don't be unbalanced, who made you twelve years later than him?"

"Speaking of this, Zhang Taiyue was born in the Year of the Rooster and became a Jinshi at the age of 17; adults were born in the Year of the Rooster and also became a Jinshi at the age of 17. It was really a shiny moment, so it was hard for Mr. Xu to be old." Shen Mingchen suddenly laughed.

"Haha, it seems that Gao Gong is also a rooster." Yu Yin smiled and said, "It's a coincidence that sir and they are each one a day apart."

"What a coincidence, if you all enter the cabinet, the cabinet will not be a chicken coop?" Silent joked, looking at Shen Mingchen and said, "You haven't said it yet, why didn't I use the right method?" This is the problem of intellectuals. If you don't say anything, you have to go around in a big circle.

"As a sir, he is very good at Zhang Juzheng. Everyone is the same with Mr. Xu. Moreover, his family is in Suzhou and he knows your own strength very well, so he would rather support a replacement with no personal power, at least he can control it." Shen Mingchen said: "But Zhang Juzheng is not completely satisfied with Mr. Xu. There is one thing he can't compare with Mr. Xu."

"Say." Silence almost went crazy.

"He doesn't believe in Wang Xue, and you are a disciple of Wang Xue," Shen Mingchen smiled and said, "Her Xu spared no effort in promoting Wang Xue, but he, as a student, is very ineffective. You should take this opportunity to raise the banner of Wang Xue high. Don't he like to promote Wang Xue? You also write a few books, preferably about the integration of your school with the Taizhou School. Don't he like to organize lectures? You also organize and lift their Taizhou School high. This will let Mr Xu know that you are the descendant of his Taoism, and we can also take the opportunity to do our own things."

Silence suddenly opened.
