To be fair, this is an article that will definitely be of positive energy for future generations. But it doesn't work now. Now the scholar-bureaucrats are in charge of the world, and their authority cannot be questioned by the Yi. No matter how luxurious a house they live in, how exquisite food they eat, how exquisite art they play with, or how gorgeous clothes they wear, all of this is natural and logical in their eyes. Master Mencius said: "Those who work hard govern others, and those who work hard govern others." It is a matter of course. Who taught these people not to read the books of sages and not understand the truth? So they deserve it and deserve to serve the scholars!
So Liang Feng was hit by a second wave of criticism.
"Liang Yutian distorted the meaning of the scriptures, and the crime cannot be punished! The words of the sage are to talk about the affairs of the world, and they must be distinguished by names. The sage said that kings, ministers, fathers, and fathers are all names. Positioning of branches. By extension, there is an order of superiority and inferiority, and there is a distinction between superior and inferior. The sage said that if these things are not settled, the world will be in chaos, and Baixin will be at a loss. Now what Liang Yutian is doing is to make the world in chaos. The craftsmen have to lift If you enter the Imperial College, what status do you have left?"
Zhao Zhen¡¯s head is already big, why are you here again?
He held his slightly round-faced head with one hand. He leaned on the table and thought: "What the newspaper said seems to make sense. What food, clothing, and accommodation I have now are not made by them? Isn't it just to study in an Imperial College? Isn't it impossible? Speaking of which, Liang Feng never mentioned that the ancestors of these people should also be carried in to offer sacrifices. Oh! That's right! Liang Feng did not mention it. He talked about hundreds of officials. He¡¯s a scholar!¡±
Zhao Zhen suddenly sat up straight. He seemed to have discovered the key to the problem. But I couldn't express it vaguely. He quickly ordered: "Bring up all the memorials impeaching Liang Feng in the past few days. I want to read them again."
Bring it up. This word shows that Liang Feng directly caused the heavy physical labor of the eunuchs in the inner palace. The pile that had just been cleared out was carried back to Zhao Zhen, noisily eating.
Zhao Zhen began to read carefully all night long.
"The official has an order to announce that Liang Feng will be present." Another person came to deliver the order.
This time Liang Feng did not refuse. He did not go when there was a car. But when there was no car, he was very straightforward and followed him into the palace without saying a word.
Zhao Zhen waved his hand. Let everyone else retreat, leaving only the monarch and his ministers sitting alone facing each other.
"You asked me to take a look at the bullet, and I did. I have a few questions to ask you."
"Um."
"Have you ever said that you want to invite all those messy tablets to the Imperial College?"
"No." His face didn't change and his heart didn't beat.
"No? What about the "New Interpretation of the Neighborhood" in the "Northwest" newspaper? It is clear inside and outside that those tablets should be enshrined!" Zhao Zhen continued.
"Did I write that article?" Liang Feng Youyou said: "What do others think of what I do? How can I care? There are so many people who scold me, don't ask, just this one article, what do you think? Just say I did it?"
Zhao Zhen was so angry that he really couldn¡¯t say it was written by him.
"At least that's what you ordered." Zhao Zhen said angrily.
"What's wrong with me giving orders? Maybe they want to make me win or lose every day, so can we just hum? Let's talk about it. Just say it. Does that make sense?"
"Some." Zhao Zhen refused to admit them all.
"There is some truth. That is also true, isn't it? Then you say, these ordinary people, for the sake of our Song Dynasty country and the country, for the sake of our Song Dynasty for thousands of generations, worked hard to do some crafts, sweated and sweated to repair this and that, this country and the country They belong to your Zhao family. Do you think it's too much to say a few nice words to make them happy?"
"Well, this isn't too much."
"The palms and backs of your hands are all flesh, and only those few poems written by you are your favorites. Do you think other people deserve to be bullied by them?"
""
"Guan Jia, have you read that poem?"
"Which one is it?" Zhao Zhen said sadly.
"The emperor's career was in vain when the bamboos and silk smoke were sold out, and the Guanhe River was empty and locked in the ancestral dragon's home. Shandong was in chaos before the ashes were cold, and Liu Xiang didn't study."
"How could you not have read this? Haha, you have the nerve to use it to test me. Your merits are all appointed by me." Zhao Zhen suddenly remembered that this guy was his disciple if he took it seriously, and he couldn't help but feel proud. Then he said: "What does this have to do with your matter? I didn't burn books to embarrass scholars! Do you think I am a tyrant? Hey, that's not right. I asked you to question me clearly, but you are taking the lead!" Zhao Zhen Suddenly I felt the sadness of being compared, and I was dissatisfied with Qi Dao.
"Hehe, I want to tell you this. You have to understand that every time there is success or failure, it is all illiterate rough people."Get up! "Liang Feng sneered.
"Eh!?" Zhao Zhen was stunned. It turns out that this poem can be said in this way? Isn't it? When have the winners and losers not been common people or rough men with swords? I have never seen an educated person take over the country. of. Let¡¯s just talk about my great-grandfather, Emperor Taizu. Wasn¡¯t he also a Qiu Ba who wielded swords and guns?
While Zhao Zhen was stuck in the long examination, Liang Feng struck while the iron was hot and said: "You have read a lot about the rise and fall of past dynasties. Have you found a problem? Whenever a court is about to run out of power, corruption must be rampant and the people are living in dire straits. Officials deceive the superiors and conceal the inferiors. , they only know how to enrich their own pockets, regardless of the life and death of the people. Some kings are indeed rebellious. But most of them are deceived and have no idea what is going on below. Why don't those ministers tell the truth? He has to make money. This intensified the conflict between the court and the people, leading to rebellions again and again, right? To solve this big problem, one of the most important means is to allow the people to directly strengthen contact with the court. Are you personally In the deep palace, there is no time to visit incognito every day. What happens is decided by the ministers. Some of these people are pedantic, some are cunning, some are greedy, and some are confused. They stand in their own way and say what they think. , how can it be exactly the same as what you want to hear and see?"
Zhao Zhen was speechless. What he said today contained too much information, and the ancient brains needed to digest it slowly.
Liang Feng swallowed his saliva and continued: "In the end, this country belongs to your family, and we are the people you invited to help you take care of it. Let me show you where to pay attention and where not to cause trouble. . The life of the common people is getting better, so of course your life will be better. To be honest, from the time of Emperor Taizu to the officials, you have done a good job. You neither listen to favors nor believe, and you are willing to take corvee lightly and not increase the burden of taxes. The common people bear the burden, and this is the reason for the current prosperous and prosperous good years. However, you must also note that although scholars are the most important force, the others should not be underestimated. If you give them some basic respect , if people feel the imperial court¡¯s concern, wouldn¡¯t they work even harder for you? Who would be willing to oppose and rebel against you?¡±
"It seems you are right."
"That's right, it is! Now we don't want you to pay a penny, but we allow the Imperial College to accept various talents, let them teach their skills respectively, and learn from each other, so that they can figure out better things and more ingenious things. You Tell me, who benefits from this?"
Liang Feng added: "You are determined, I know. But to be a truly benevolent king, one should not only consider the sufferings of the people, but also let them have food to eat, clothes to wear, and no danger of war, water or fire. Sin. I think the more important thing is to make everyone surrender to you, and everyone feels the care and understanding of you as an official. There are some truths that ordinary people are uneducated and cannot express. But let¡¯s assume that if there is Who can increase the original rice yield from two shi per mu to four shi at once? Do you think this is a big deal?"
"Yes,"
"If for this reason, you write a batch of books and give him an honor, will he burst into tears of gratitude and swear to serve you to the death?"
"Of course!" Zhao Zhen said proudly.
"By the way, then he will be grateful for your kindness and pass on this technology without reservation. If it is passed from one person to another, the world's food production will double. Are you still afraid of starving to death?"
"Haha, of course I'm not afraid!"
"But, do you think that if you just rely on others to teach you one by one, don't you think it will spread to the year of the monkey? If we find a place to gather these talented people who like farming, how fast will it be if we teach them like this? ?How effective is it?¡±
"Hey, by the way, this is a good idea!" Zhao Zhen said with a smile.
"That's right, the expansion is like this, aren't craftsmen different? People who are good at building bridges, building houses, and building rivers are all talented people. They teach more people. Then if you encounter floods and droughts every year, you have to lower your standards. How much loss?"
"That's right, that's right. If you say that, I will understand. This person should be admitted to the Imperial College!" Zhao Zhen actually became excited.
Suddenly he hesitated again: "But, it is always inappropriate to put them together with the disciples of saints? I understand this, but the courtiers are not easy to persuade."
"It will be easier if you understand. Originally, I thought that there was no need to ask the court for such a logical thing. It seems that I have committed a childish left-leaning disease. Let's put it this way, you are an official, and your words will make the constitution, so break this logic with them. Nonsense. As for me, I will take a step back. We won¡¯t go to the Imperial Academy anymore. If you give me another inscription, I will set up a separate academy to accommodate them. We won¡¯t interfere with each other or influence each other. Isn¡¯t that the end?¡±
"That's a way. Well, where do you plan to place this other courtyard?"
"It's right in the Imperial College. Just build a wall to separate them. Open the door separately and let everyone go their own way, so as not to worry about each other!"
Zhao Zhen showed a smile and said: "It's up to you to do it. I think this matter is very appropriate. Just as you said, we will set up a separate academy for national talents later. Naturally, you will be the judge and we will do it together. Don't worry, I already understand everything. If something happens again, I will take the responsibility for you."
"Okay, then youJust hang on, I'm leaving. I'm going back to make preparations. There's quite a lot to do! What do you think I am trying to do? I worry about you and get a bad reputation! "Liang Feng shook his head and sighed.
