Chapter 1749: Xingshi asks for sin Now Liu Jin is naturally not as arrogant and unsightly as he was in previous years, he has experienced so much, and he almost lost his life, so he naturally learns to be smarter, and he will not just care about being happy for a while.
He frowned painfully, hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to endure it, and said sharply with a little annoyance: "Hurry, hurry, go back to the palace" So the coachman hurried up and hurried directly to the direction of the Forbidden City.
And after Liu Jin returned to the palace, the people in the palace looked at him in astonishment and hurriedly walked over with his face covered.
Father-in-law Liu was injured Everyone was silent, who had such guts And Liu Jin, whose face was covered with blood, almost crawled with a roll, and hurried to the warm pavilion to meet Zhu Houzhao.
When he saw Zhu Houzhao, he immediately fell to the ground, and cried loudly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the slave and the slave are wronged, there are actually scholars They are so bold, they actually attacked the slave and the maid."
A group of scholars are all blocked outside the Ye family, making a lot of trouble, Your Majesty, take a look, take a look. ” Liu Jin raised his face as he spoke, only to see that on that face, tears, snot and blood were all mixed together, which was very terrifying.
Zhu Houzhao looked at him in astonishment, and then said, "These people, what are you doing outside the Ye family?"
Liu Jin had no reason, and suddenly felt a sense of grievance.
He was beaten like this, but His Majesty only cared about asking the Ye family This person is really angry compared to people.
Naturally, this was not the first time he had felt this way, he quickly got used to it, and continued to cry and tell everything about it.
Zhu Houzhao listened, frowned again and again, showed a displeased look, and said coldly with a bit of irony: "It's really interesting, what is this Jiang Mian doing to let him appease the scholar, he is good, he is appeased like this and invited Jiang Mian here, I want to ask him personally." ” After that, Zhu Houzhao sat down, looking like he was asking for guilt.
After a while, Jiang Mian was invited, and when he saw Liu Jin with a bloody face, he seemed to understand something at once, and he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart, and bowed to the ground and said, "The minister has seen Your Majesty." ” Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "What's going on, isn't it asking Aiqing to appease those students, why is it getting worse now, and now the streets are all over the street, all saying that Zhen Guogong is a national thief, but is there any evidence to say that he is a rebellion, what about the evidence, now it's okay, now everyone is running to intrude on people's homes, and Liu Jin is beaten like this, are these people scholars or robbers?"
Jiang Mian was already sweating profusely, and he really couldn't handle this matter.
Of course, it is impossible for him to offend the scholars for the sake of Ye Chunqiu and affect his official reputation, but on the other hand, both sides are unwilling to give in now, how can he persuade him Jiang Mian had no choice but to say with a bitter face: "The minister is guilty of capital crimes." ” Zhu Houzhao narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "I want to kill a few to set an example, what does the Qing family think?"
When Jiang Mian heard this, he was immediately shocked.
Killing those are scholars, isn't this adding fuel to the fire, but how can you get it?
Jiang Mian hurriedly said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is absolutely impossible, if Your Majesty does this, I am afraid that all the scholars in the world will be cold." ” Zhu Houzhao sneered and said: "Should I ignore them and let them continue to behave like this, can't I even do what I want to do?"
Saying this sentence made Jiang Mian a little heartbroken.
He knows very well that there is no impermeable wall in the world, and today's recital between him and His Majesty will definitely be passed on, if he says anything that is unfavorable to the reader, on the cusp of this storm, it may lead to a backlash from the reader.
After thinking about it, Jiang Mian said: "Your Majesty, of course the world belongs to Your Majesty." ” "That's right."
Zhu Houzhao gritted his teeth and said: "Then I will have the final say, and you will pass on my will."
"But" Jiang Mian hurriedly continued: "But Your Majesty, the king is light on the people, Your Majesty is a boat, and the people are water, if Your Majesty does not love the people, the ministers are afraid that the country will be shaken." ” Zhu Houzhao smiled and said mockingly: "Just a group of scholars, are they also called the people?"
Jiang Mian Zhengse said: "Your Majesty, these scholars are the people, and the rest are just savages, Your Majesty wants to rule the world, and what you rely on can only be these people, otherwise the sky will fall apart and the country will be in danger of overturning." ” Zhu Houzhao was stunned, he was old for a long time and couldn't digest Jiang Mian's words.
After half a sound, he finally understood what Jiang Mian meant.
The so-called people, of course, not everyone is a people, the people of the Ming Dynasty can only be scholars, scholars, and gentry.
How can the rest be the people?
Only these people are the cornerstone of the Ming Dynasty, because only they can express their opinions.
Only they have read books and mastered public opinion, and only they have mastered all the resources in the countryside.
Where did the taxes of the imperial court come from, they all relied on the gentry to collect taxes, and how much tax should be apportioned in the county was contracted to the gentry, and the gentry went to collect it from the peasant households, and then sent it to the county.
Where did the officials of the imperial court come from, they also came from the children of the gentry, and only they had the resources to study, and finally the title of the gold list.
Where does the public opinion of the imperial court come from, and only their children will make all kinds of comments.
As for the ordinary peasant households and ordinary people, these people, the vast majority of them are illiterate, they themselves are attached to these gentry, some rent land, some have to rely on the gentry's water source, or from time to time to do a long and short job, many people, even the emperor does not know, for them, the Ming Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty, are too far away from them.
So when Jiang Mian firmly said that only they were the people, how could Zhu Houzhao not understand Zhu Houzhao's mood was naturally complicated, and at this time, Jiang Mian continued: "When the first emperor was here, he understood this truth very well, so he treated scholars well, and today, all the people respect the first emperor. ” call Zhu Houzhao understood again, if you want to be a saint, you must love the people like a son, but this people are not the people of the other.
Zhu Houzhao was silent for a moment before he said: "But what is the matter with surrounding the mansion of the Duke of Zhenguo?"
Jiang Mian also knew that if he didn't make some concessions at this time, His Majesty would definitely not want to take a break, so he had to say: "The ministers must try their best to persuade them to retreat." ” Zhu Houzhao's face softened a little, and said, "I hope I won't be disappointed again, and don't let my birthday be restless." ” "Yes."
Seeing that Zhu Houzhao finally didn't embarrass him anymore, Jiang Mian also breathed a sigh of relief. aa2705221:
