Chapter Nine hundred and Eighty: Eliminate Traitors for the Country
After the Censorate made such a fuss, the capital was in agitation again. Then, a snow-like report arrived in Nanjing.
The Nanjing ministries and the Censorate are the most interesting, they are all enthusiastic people.
Although most people were sent to Nanjing, they were most concerned about many things in the capital. To put it bluntly, as reserve officials, they were the kind of people who were not interested in the big deal and wanted to have the political turmoil in the court.
You can imagine that if Liu Jin collapses, a large number of people will suffer. So who will make up for the gap? This is probably the biggest reason why everyone is active!
The interest relationship here is too obvious. Once it is related to interests, will everyone not actively participate?
So when I heard the news, there was a wall falling in Nanjing and everyone pushed it. It was time to criticize current problems, and it was time to be a loyal minister.
Yang Tinghe and Dai Dabin were already famous for a while. During the Qing Dynasty, they all listed these two as examples. Even the latest episode of Taibai, the Taibai Collection, began to take the opportunity to publish articles by Yang Tinghe and Dai Dabin. Most of them were collected from all over the place, including their eight-part essays during the exam and their policy arguments during the palace exam. When it was really jealous, Dai Dabin was only in his early twenties and was young, but when publishing his articles, the introduction below was from Hanlin editor Dai Gong.
Mr. Dai.
Who can be called a public? In addition to eunuchs, at least in the circle of scholars, this word is not a random title. If it is called randomly, not only will the person who is called dare not accept it, but he will be ashamed of himself. He will also be ridiculed by others. Such high-ranking officials in the cabinet and the six ministries can be called a public official, and ancestors can be called a public official, and those who are old and noble in morality can also be called a public official. Dai Dabin was called a public official, but no one felt that it was inconsistent. This was moral noble, because his feat was recognized by everyone.
This is truly a world-renowned name. Therefore, the reputation of Yang Tinghe and Dai Dabin began to spread in various prefectures and counties. Their articles became the targets for everyone to see. Major bookstores directly hung up signs. Yang Gong and Dai Gong's collection of documents arrived. In just one day, all the books were sold out.
A judge of Shuntian Prefecture actually ran to the street to burn Liu Jin's straw man, claiming to be the country's elimination of traitors.
In the Imperial College, some scholars criticized the new policy, and some doctors were dissatisfied with it and scolded several students. So they were blocked in public housing by countless students, and almost even the public housing was demolished.
This kind of moral kidnapping is the most powerful. The most terrifying thing about it is that some moral obsessions or some people who want to become famous jump out first, and then seek recognition. If you don’t speak up, you are afraid of it. Why are you afraid? That is because you are afraid of power and traitors, and you are afraid of power and traitors. So you have moral problems. You are a disciple of a saint, how can you be afraid?
If you still refuse, then you must want to stick to the eunuch party. You are dirty, you are shameless, you are despicable, you are despicable, you are vulgar.
My colleagues make fun of you, and scholars denounce you as a thief. You will be sprayed with feces at home for no reason. Wherever you go, you will be pointed at.
Ye Chunqiu fired the first shot, Yang Tinghe and Dai Dabin pushed the matter to a climax, while Deng Jian, Chen Rong, Zhang Jinren and others took advantage of their own advantages, either in the Censorate, or the poetry club, to truly make this matter completely known.
Even in the latest court discussion, Zhu Houzhao did not participate, and the cabinet Grand Secretary who presided over the court discussion was questioned on the spot. What does Mr. Liu think about this?
Several cabinet ministers were also amused and crying, but they found that the ministers in the court all looked at them. Liu Jian knew very well that if this answer was not good, it might lead to criticism from all over the world. It was not easy to accumulate reputation, but it was only a matter of one night to make his reputation criticized and foul. Faced with the situation in front of him, Liu Jian couldn't help but curse in his heart, that guy named Ye is really not a thing.
However, when Liu Jian faced the question, he said lightly: "The laws of ancestors should not be abandoned easily."
There was no positive answer, but it immediately made many people ecstatic.
What is the law of ancestors? It is actually just a signboard. Emperor Taizu's law is the law of ancestors. Jianwen was abolished as soon as he came to power. So Emperor Wen held high the banner of the law of ancestors, killed this nephew, and became the emperor himself. However, although Emperor Wen talked about the law of ancestors every day, in fact, the great edict had long been changed beyond recognition by him. Afterwards, the emperor also learned his lessons and shouted the law of ancestors every day, but most of them did their own things. In the law of ancestors, eunuchs could not rule, so how did Wang Zhen come from? In the law of ancestors, students could not speak for themselves. Are there any students who did not speak for now?
In essence, the more people who are the law of ancestors are the shield, most of them are the gravediggers of the law of ancestors. As the saying goes, the hong flag is the hong flag.
A person like Liu Jian is truly a clever person. He knows that the laws of his ancestors are just a joke. If he really wants to abide by the laws of his ancestors, corrupt officials must peel off their skins and fill them with grass, scholars cannot be quarrels. Even as the chief minister, most of them can only abide by his secretary's duties and polish the emperor's imperial edict. But the problem is that Liu Jin's biggest mistake is the new policy.
Some things can be done, but not said, and some things can be said, but not done.
In the 120th year of the Ming Dynasty, I have experienced many changes in the laws of the ancestors, but does anyone care? You Liu Jin, you can change it, but you are so happy that you are afraid that others will not know about it, so you have to call the New Policy, which is a problem.
Many people's eyes suddenly shone. Liu Gong's words obviously guided the direction of the future.
In fact, the real criticism is not to harm the people at all, nor is it to be a tyrannical official to commit favoritism and fraud. The real focus is the law of the ancestors.
The laws of ancestors cannot be abolished. At least this is the most correct political correctness in the Ming Dynasty. Why is Jianwen so ruined? His crime is that he is arbitrarily changing the ancestral system. If you change the ancestral system, you just don’t want the ancestors. If you don’t even want the ancestors, are you still human?
Liu Jin's crimes are simply pediatrics. How could the little emperor deal with them because of his family slaves who were around him? But once they were involved in the height of the law of the ancestors, the situation was completely different.
