On the second day, Zhu Xu drank the decoction, put on his regular clothes, and sat in Xiang.
Above the lobby of the Yang Mansion.
Below are the chairs, from left to right sitting Qian Longxi, Huguang's political senator and a prefect, who can be regarded as the most backbone officials in Huguang.
Zhu Xu was high up, and a group of people sat uneasily below, which clearly meant 'interrogation'.
Zhu Xu's face was still a little pale, and he was cold, picked up the chicken soup beside him, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Today, let's ignore political affairs, talk about some old things." ” A group of people are becoming more and more uneasy, and the scholars like to do things that are side-knocking, and the emperor obviously wants to use the past and the present to attack them.
Cao Huachun and Wang Yizhou stood on both sides, not squinting.
Zhu Xu looked around, these people's expressions were very solemn, as if they were about to go to the guillotine, smiled secretly in their hearts, and said, "Let's talk about Zhang Taiyue and Haigang Peak today." ” Zhang Taiyue is Zhang Juzheng, and Hai Gangfeng is Hai Rui.
Zhang Ju is the first assistant of the beginning of Wanli, Hai Rui has gone through four dynasties, each of them has a great reputation, and has a great influence on the Ming Dynasty, even now, the two are often mentioned.
There are many stories about them, and the most important thing is that when Zhang Juzheng was in power, Hai Rui was idle and could not be resurrected until Zhang Juzheng's death, when he was already in his seventies.
Zhang Juzheng has been rehabilitated, and now many people think that this is a big stain on Zhang Juzheng, causing a capable minister to rule the world to go out of exile.
Some people also say that Zhang Juzheng was afraid of Hai Rui's uprightness and deliberately abandoned it.
In short, there are many rumors and arguments.
These two people are topics that Daming can't get around, Zhang Juzheng's influence is still there, and Hai Rui's fame is a mountain that can only be looked up to.
Zhu Xu, the emperor, suddenly opened his mouth to mention these two people, and Qian Longxi and the others were stunned.
Zhu Xu put his hands on the table and looked at everyone: "When I was in the Hidden Mansion, I often heard about Zhang Taiyue's exploits, and I could also hear about Hai Rui's deeds. ” The emperor commented on a person, it was to be recorded in the history books, and a group of people pricked up their ears and did not dare to take it lightly.
"Let's talk about Zhang Taiyue first," Zhu Xu said: "Zhang Taiyue, the phrase 'Prime Minister's Jie' is on him, I think it is appropriate, 'respect for sovereignty, official position, letter reward and punishment, No. 1 order', Confucianism and promising, I like it very much, I found many things in the 'New Deal' from here."
Zhang Taiyue's matter, everyone knows, I don't want to say more, the most important thing is to talk about Haigang Peak. ” "In his later years, he wrote to Emperor Shenzong, saying that 'the Taizu Law was peeled and the law of the 30th year of Hongwu was bent and hanged', which was to restore the punishment during the Taizu period, but in the end it was not carried out, because the ministers at that time thought that he was 'stagnant and unable to reach the political system', that is to say, Hai Rui was too rigid and did not know the current politics, and I felt that this judgment was correct."
"Back then, he wrote to Zhang Taiyue, and Zhang Taiyue replied, 'The three-foot method does not work for Wu Jiuyi.
The public is suddenly corrected with rope and ink, and it should not be embarrassed', and said, "Jun Bing's heart is loyal and bright, and the world believes in it."
However, when examining its politics, many of them have not been passed, and it is only appropriate to sit in the town of elegance and vulgarity, and not to worry about civil '......"
"The meaning is very simple, Hai Rui doesn't understand government affairs, he only knows how to repeat Taizu's law, there is no flexibility at all, he has never done anything, he just values virtue, and he doesn't need to care about government affairs......"
Zhu Xu didn't have a long speech, suddenly kept his head, looked at Qian Longxi and said, "Governor Qian, you can talk about it, let's just discuss, there is no need to avoid anything." ” Qian Longxi was stunned, got up and raised his hand, and thought for a while: "Back to the emperor, the minister thinks that Haigangfeng is too strong, everything is too hasty, and he is unprepared, and finally gives up halfway, accomplishes nothing, wastes the people and money, and has no real achievements. ” Zhu Xu squinted his eyes, Qian Longxi's words were a little disguised to admonish him, smiled slightly, and said: "That's right, he also said 'the old state has a new life', 'Gou is new, every day is new, and every day is new', why has there been no change in his life?"
” This is actually a Confucian problem, which has become a general trend that is difficult to reverse by sticking to the old ways and being stubborn.
On the one hand, it is required to respect the ancestors, not to talk about it, to change, and to ask for new changes, how good is it, and the words of the saints will not be wrong?
Qian Longxi's expression did not move, this is not an exchange between ordinary friends, it is the right performance of the monarch and the minister, if it is not good, there will be very serious consequences, and he can't comment on the country like Zhang Juzheng, and it took a while before he said: "Your Majesty, Hai Rui's Qing, not the Ming Dynasty's Qing, Hai Rui's uprightness, not the Ming's integrity, Hai Rui's not my Ming's blessing, it should not be announced." ” Qian Longxi is also cunning, he didn't answer the question correctly, but he also said a reason.
Where could Zhu Xu let him run away, and said: "He studied the 'Taizu Law', could it be wrong?"
” Hai Rui was bent on restoring Zhu Yuanzhang's harsh management methods, from the beginning to his death, all of them were unsuccessful, after four dynasties, the emperors of all dynasties still valued him.
Qian Longxi didn't know how to answer, 'criticizing the ancestors' is a big crime, this 'big crime' is morally, once it is established, it will be famous for eternity!
"Back to the Emperor," At this time, a politician behind Qian Longxi got up and said: "The minister thinks it's right, the fault is Hai Rui, and the law of Taizu is also right, and the fault is that Hai Rui uses it to judge things with his own likes and dislikes, even if he has a false name, it is in vain." ” What we are talking about here is Hai Jui's judgment of the case, which is only based on 'good and evil', and does not care about anything else, which seems to be fair, but in fact it is confused.
This is a good reason, Zhu Xu smiled: "Then the cabinet at that time seized his script, hindered his promotion, and even suppressed it repeatedly, this is suppressing the 'Taizu Law'?"
What is the explanation of this 'unknown current affairs'?
” 'Ignorance of current affairs' clearly requires officials to be flexible, adapt to new changes, and not stick to ancient laws.
Qian Longxi was speechless from participating in politics just now, this is a contradictory thing, everyone knows that the 'ancestral law' has long become an unchangeable habit.
The two of them didn't speak, and suddenly a prefect stood up, raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this is Hai Ruikong's reputation but no achievements, and the past is too upright, chaotic and inactive, so he is unwilling to use him." ” This sentence seems to make sense, but in fact it completely deviates from the topic, Zhu Xu is talking about the reason, this guy is talking about the result, which is completely unrelated, and can even be said to be sophistry!
Zhu Xu took another sip of chicken soup, his body was a little more comfortable, and he said slowly: "Then, it is no longer feasible to stick to the ancient method, what should I do?"
"What Zhu Xu wants to say is to be flexible, he not only wants to justify the 'New Deal', but also uses it to impact the stubborn thinking of Confucianism and establish the status of 'flexible'.
The emperor's words were already very naked and naked.
Naked, the ancient law is not feasible, naturally it is necessary to change, using the 'present law'.
Next, there are Wang Anshi's three sentences: 'The sky is not enough to fear, the ancestors are not enough to be afraid, and the words of people are not enough to be compassionate'.
These three sentences have always been the focus of Confucian criticism, starting with Sima Guang and others, until the Ming Dynasty, Confucianism avoided talking about these three sentences, because they did not conform to the spirit of Confucianism and the concept of governing the country, and were extremely 'rebellious'.
Zhu Xu's words came to this, and everyone who could refute a few words just now stopped talking, and whatever they said at this time was to bear 'historical responsibility'.
"Lord Qian, you come on."
Zhu Xu directly called names.
Qian Longxi frowned, the ancient method is not advisable, naturally the current method must be used, but it is easy to say, and the impact must be considered, especially the emperor obviously has a strong intention, how dare he speak easily?
"The minister thinks the 'New Deal' is the right time."

Qian Longxi said, this is tantamount to admitting in disguise that 'flexibility' is right.
Zhu Xu didn't embarrass him, his eyes looked around at the people in the lobby, no one dared to make eye contact with him, they all lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak.
'The sky is not enough to be afraid, the ancestors are not enough to be afraid, and the words of people are not enough to be compassionate', you can know it, but you can't say it!
Zhu Xu looked around, sat up straight, laughed, and said: "Haigang Peak is a person who adheres to the ancient law, and he has achieved nothing in his life, even in his old age, he still shouts to restore the method of Taizu, and he has no intention of introspection.
Zhang Taiyue, the ancestor of the law, but he clearly knows the difference between the ancient law and the present according to local conditions, and handles government affairs according to the actual situation, and makes some changes.
In government affairs, the acre system, and the rule of officials, they have given me a lot of references, and without him, I would not dare to start the 'New Deal'......"
Qian Longxi knew very well that the emperor was characterizing certain things, and he was also defending the 'New Deal', removing some obstacles, and was silent.
If it is an ordinary person, a scholar, or a great Confucian, he will be scolded by people all over the world for all kinds of reasons, but the person in front of him is Emperor Jingzheng, who dares?
An inner prison not far away quietly recorded every word Zhu Xu said.
Zhu Xu said a lot, and finally concluded: "Today's people, learn from the ancient and sage, can not blindly follow, to carefully distinguish which is suitable for the present, which is out of date, take its essence, go to its dross, is the requirement of our reading, can also be extended to government affairs, can not be rigid, according to the cat and the tiger, to do things according to the actual situation, carefully analyze the problems, find new methods, ways to deal with things, can not blindly ask the ancients ......"
Zhu Xu coughed from time to time, sweat broke out on his face, his whole body was cold, and he felt a little unbearable, so he stopped talking and said: "That's all for today, after I go back, think about it seriously, write a notebook for me, I will put it in the newspaper for you, if you can't write well, you can move now, and remember to wear a hat when you go out......"
Qian Longxi and the others felt their hearts swelling, their faces were uncomfortable, but they still had to get up, raised their hands and said, "Obey." ” "Well, let's go."
Zhu Xu waved his hand.
"The minister retired."
A group of people slowly retreated.
Cao Huachun had already seen it, and hurriedly stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, go back." ” Zhu Xu nodded and said, "I can't leave today, I will leave early tomorrow morning, let Tang Yize cover well, and don't be discovered." ” "Yes."
Cao Huachun came over and helped Zhu Xu back to the backyard.
The word 'flexible' is simple to say, but once it spreads, I don't know how much impact it will cause, especially those who firmly oppose Zhu Xu, it must be another big 'crime'!
