Dusk is approaching and the lanterns are starting to turn on. Teams of imperial guards marched out from the Daqin Palace and ran along the streets, shouting: "The Emperor of Daqin has spoken orally. Today, thousands of scholars knocked on the que and submitted a letter. Although it is suspected of being deceived and acting recklessly, I firmly believe that , most scholars are motivated by public interests, not for personal gain. Confucian disciples, the country's talents, should not be lightly insulted. Today, although the common people have sincere intentions, their behavior is excessive and is an insult to those who litter outside the Qin gate. , immediately took the initiative to clean up, and apologized to the scholars in public. A nation that does not know how to respect knowledge is a nation without hope; a country that does not know how to respect talents is a country without hope. I hope that the people of Great Qin can respect knowledge. , Respect talents, take the initiative to stand up, take responsibility for your extreme behavior, and sincerely apologize to the scholars. "The palace guards rushed past, shouted all the way, and posted signs everywhere. It is said that among the scholars who were humiliated outside the Qin Gate today, many of them became more and more sad and angry as they thought about it. Some were venting their anger through drinking, and some were even ready to jump into the Qinhuai River to fight to the death. Suddenly, the shouts of the palace guards resounded throughout the city, especially the sentence "A nation that does not know how to respect knowledge is a nation without hope; a country that does not know how to respect talents is a country without hope." Easy to read I understand, but it fully reflects the emperor¡¯s sincerity. Many ¡ß¡â,ww¡Ý who were full of humiliation couldn¡¯t help but burst into tears, fell to their knees directly on the ground, cried bitterly to the palace and shouted: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty" Such scenes can be seen everywhere in Nanjing City at the beginning of the lanterns, and the hearts of the scholars Being deeply touched, they would kneel down in tears and shout, often simply calling the emperor repeatedly without saying anything else; the situation was like a wronged child shouting for his parents, which made many people watch. , and couldn¡¯t help but burst into tears. The human heart is made of flesh. Seeing this touching scene, most of the people who had thrown things at the scholars outside the Daqin Gate actually stood up, apologized to the scholars, and then brought brooms to clean up the garbage outside the Daqin Gate. . The scholars who were originally full of grievances were comforted by the emperor's oral instructions, and the people apologized and cried bitterly. No one wanted to cause trouble again. Let¡¯s go to the knocking tower again to write a letter. The next day, Qin Mu took the palace guards and cabinet ministers out of the palace to visit Taixue, and went to the Confucius Temple in Taixue to worship in person to show the emperor's respect for Confucianism. At the same time, Qin Mu asked people to recruit scholars who came to Beijing to participate in the spring boudoir next year and asked them to come to Taixue together. After Qin Mu worshiped at the Confucius Temple, he asked everyone to sit together under the green pine trees in the large courtyard of Taixue. Qin Mu doesn¡¯t put on airs or act condescending. He sat on the ground among thousands of scholars and had a heart-to-heart talk with everyone. As an emperor, he does need to be aloof and majestic; but at the same time, he should also appropriately display some people-friendly image. Just like this, sitting around with everyone, not talking yet. It has made the scholars feel more cordial. With this kind of intimacy, when everyone talks, it will appear sincere and it will be easier to talk to each other. "All the scholars are the talents of the country and are the hope of the future of the country. I am here today to have a heart-to-heart chat with you. I hope that everyone will also be honest with you. We will not throw away our school bags, and we will not use them. Don't lie. Let's sit down and chat as a family. Don't be restrained. Say what you want. It doesn't matter even if you say something wrong. " "Long live my emperor!" "The scholars sitting around looked happy and happy. "Everyone is writing a letter this time. To be honest, I don't agree with your views, but I don't blame you. You are the future of the country. I am happy to see you express your sincere thoughts. , Ministers often contradict me out of public motives, and dare not say anything else, but I think I have done it by not using words to accuse me, because I know that the country will not be destroyed if it has enemies. " " Mu's words were very sincere, and the scholars here sincerely admired him for this. Since Qin Mu proclaimed himself emperor, he has indeed not sinned against others because of his remarks, not even once. These have always been talked about by scholars all over the world. Tao, and one of the reasons why I sincerely admire him. "Your Majesty's sage wisdom and openness of speech are blessings to all people in the world." "Your Majesty created the prosperous age of the Qin Dynasty, but he has always been open-minded and good at accepting advice. He is truly a wise king that has never been seen in the ages. Everything the students say comes from the bottom of his heart, and there are no false words to please your Majesty. " "" Qin Mu said with a smile: "As long as everyone is sincere and believes that I am sincere, it will be easy for us to communicate.I won¡¯t hide it from you anymore, I do intend to reform the judiciary; Throughout all dynasties, there have always been some bad apples who were corrupt and perverted the law, causing the people to suffer deeply and complain. Dynasties have often been ruined at the hands of these black sheep. I hope that Daqin¡¯s judicial system will be more fair, more transparent, and more efficient, benefiting the people all over the world. In this matter, I really have no intention of valuing law over Confucianism. The role of Legalism is only to guard the bottom line of society, nothing more. To make the country more united and the society more harmonious, and to bring the morality of the people of the world to a higher level, we can only educate and guide it with Confucian benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, trust, forgiveness, loyalty, filial piety, and brotherhood. . If we abandon these core ideas of Confucianism, the entire society will become very cold and ruthless, and the relationship between monarchs, ministers, fathers and sons, and people will be no different from animals. Therefore, I will not underestimate Confucianism, but will only pay more attention to using Confucian ideas to educate all people and guide the moral concepts of society. I have said this to the ministers, and I will say it again to all you scholars sincerely, because I regard you as the hope of the future of Great Qin. " It was quiet in Taixue. Although there were many scholars surrounding Qin Mu, everyone calmed down their breathing and listened quietly. Qin Mu did not quote scriptures or preach like a saint. It was as if he was talking to Everyone is very approachable, and the more this happens, the easier it is for everyone to listen. Some people even had tears in their eyes unknowingly as they listened. "You are the hope of the future of Daqin, so you must. Understand that if a country wants to develop, it needs many things to be perfected and sound. You must have an open mind to embrace all rivers. While making it clear that Confucianism is the main body of thought in Da Qin, we cannot blindly exclude other doctrines. Sage Confucius also asked Lao Tzu for advice. Does this harm Sage Confucius' virtue? In my opinion, nothing in this world is perfect. It doesn¡¯t matter if it is not perfect. I am afraid that I am not perfect in the first place, but I just think that I am perfect. The same goes for Confucianism. We cannot blindly reject other doctrines, otherwise we will only become self-enclosed and rigid. I think that most people understand these principles, but some people are afraid of admitting their shortcomings and want to hide their lies. You are the hope of the future of Great Qin. If you are like this, it will be the greatest sorrow for this country and this nation. I will also feel very sad. ¡± Tall green pines, waves of pine waves, and the warm winter sun shone in the courtyard of Taixue. Qin Mu talked with everyone, and thousands of scholars were filled with emotion. Such a thing has never been seen in history books. Records. Everyone present was inexplicably moved by the fact that the emperor was so friendly and caring. Many people took the initiative to stand up and apologized for their mistakes. Qin Mu did not blame him and even expressed his condolences. The scholars again opposed the reform of the judiciary, and some people even gave Qin Mu some good reform suggestions. Qin Mu listened carefully and asked the accompanying officials to write them down one by one, which once again proved that this matter could be solved in this way. The emperor not only needs to be aloof and majestic, but also needs to communicate sincerely with the people at the lower level. As long as you can put down your airs and communicate with others sincerely, it will become much easier to solve. For this to happen, Queen Yang Zhi's virtuous character and just the right persuasion played a crucial role. Qin Mu respected this queen from the bottom of his heart. As soon as he returned to the palace, he went to Kunning Palace to ask people. Serve some side dishes and have a drink with Yang Zhi by the window. Yang Zhi is not good at drinking, but after just two sips, her face is as red as the plum blossoms in front of the window. PS: Please subscribe and recommend!
