The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 438 Sheng Yuan's Speech

"Everyone in the world knows that there is no limit to learning! As the saying goes, live to learn! As the parents of your children, you should always teach your children. After all, no matter when, parents are older than children."

Sheng Yuan's righteous words made Sheng Xiangxun couldn't help clapping his hands.

very good!very good!
Among the three children, this is the youngest, who has the most flamboyant demeanor!
"Don't use the way you plan to deal with the officials to deal with adults!" After tossing for a long time, Zheng lost her temper. She glanced at her little daughter and felt that she couldn't even use the strength to get angry.

This child was afraid when she was a child, but now the older she is, the better her brain is. Even if she is put on the steps, she can find a ladder to get off by herself. It's really dumbfounding!
"Let me ask you, can a person who is used to laziness still forge ahead? If he is used to taking shortcuts, is he still willing to climb dangerous peaks and cliffs? If he is used to being clever, do he still know what it means to be wise and stupid? Can you still maintain the style of a gentleman? Heresy is the norm, do you still remember the journey of the great way? Conspiracies and calculations are prevalent, can you still see the bright sunshine?"

Zheng's anger faded away, she spoke softly and looked into Sheng Yuan's eyes very seriously, asking several questions in succession.

Sheng Yuan realized that her mother was so angry before, but she was worried about her future.

Mother is not really angry at her plan to go astray, but she is afraid that if she is used to this, if she becomes a minister in the future, she will be criticized by others.

"Mother." The gloom in Sheng Yuan's heart gradually dissipated, and she sat up straight and said with a straight face, "I read Tang Dynasty's "Qunshu Zhiyao" some time ago.

In the book, courtiers are divided into twelve grades, and there are six grades for righteous ministers and rebel ministers, namely, holy ministers, good ministers, loyal ministers, wise ministers, loyal ministers, straight ministers; The minister of subjugation.

Sheng Yuan looked over, and blinked solemnly: "I'm not joking, sister, you should be more serious."

Those who have enough wisdom and eloquence, but use it to cover up their own shortcomings, deceive the monarch, far away from virtuous ministers and relatives, and disrupt the government, are slanderous ministers; those who exercise power and monopolize power, form cliques for private interests, use the country to enrich the family, and correct the order of the monarch without authorization , is a traitor minister; reverses right and wrong, controls the government, drives the virtuous with adversity, traps the monarch in injustice, makes the monarch lose the hearts of the people, and spreads the name of stupidity to all neighbors, and is a minister of subjugation. "

Sheng Yuan sighed and said, "I'm just talking about my feelings, can someone who is an older sister control her divergent thinking and listen to what her sister has to say!"

"There is some truth in what you say." Sheng An thought for a while, then nodded and said.

"Okay, okay, listen to you! Listen to you!" Sheng An covered his mouth and said nothing.

"I know you're not joking. You should say this at home, not outside. If someone with good intentions hears about it, you may be accused of whitewashing the rebellious minister." Sheng An quickly put away his smile, and gave the same serious warning.

"My daughter has repeatedly chewed on the subject of court skills. After thinking about it for a long time, I suddenly felt that those who are righteous ministers and rebellious ministers will leave their names in history and the other will be scolded for generations. But when you think about it carefully, both parties should be confidantes. A man of firmness."

"Sister has also read many history books, so she naturally knows that there is such a kind of person who can be regarded as the leader of courtiers when he is a foolish and tyrant;

Sheng Yuan babbled and babbled, and mixed the original text of Qun Shuzhi with her own understanding. The words seemed a little boring, but Zheng listened very carefully.

A holy minister is one who sees the clues in the silent place, clearly sees the opportunity of survival, the key to gain and loss, and has the ability to foresight; a good minister, humbly advances goodness, will follow the beauty and save the evil; a loyal minister, long-term prosperity Sleeping at night, being virtuous and unremitting; wise ministers, who can discern the slightest mistakes and turn disasters into blessings; loyal ministers, who are law-abiding, not greedy and not demanding bribes, thrifty and loyal to state affairs; Fear for the king.

Sheng Yuan said again: "Although I can't generalize, but I look at their actions with my heart, and my harvest is that they regard officialdom as a job, and an extremely personable minister stands before realizing his ideals and ambitions, and the survival of his family is higher than that of the country. Stretches.

"Is it as firm as you said?" Although Sheng An admitted that the little girl was right, she still couldn't help feeling that she was exaggerating.

If there is a stage to show off your talents, and you can meet a bright king who can show his grand plans, you will naturally do your best to repay the king with your own ability; The safety, power, and wealth of a family, regardless of the flood outside.

Sheng Yuan didn't expect that the adults heard this, and hadn't heard what she meant, so she couldn't help but wonder if what she just said was too subtle.

As for the sixth class of rebellious ministers, those who follow the tide, do not do business, covet high positions and rich salary, and have no opinions are called ministers; those who do not distinguish between right and wrong, blindly obey the monarch, make mistakes according to their mistakes, and enjoy pleasure together are called flatterers; Those who talk cleverly, are jealous of the virtuous and capable, show openness and virtuousness, but are insidious and vicious, and those who use their own power to make the monarch's government orders suit their interests, and make the monarch's actions gradually faint, are treacherous officials;

Sheng Yuan pouted, and after returning to the state just now, he continued to talk eloquently: "The righteous ministers have higher requirements for their own virtues, and unless they have great perseverance and determination, it is difficult to be consistent. And those rebellious ministers, too. In this way, it’s just that they put their great willpower and determination on fighting for fame and fortune for themselves, and they don’t see the people of the world in their eyes, and the emperor on the throne is just a tool for them to achieve their goals, so it is extremely harmful.”

"..." Sheng An felt a little emotional when he heard the end, her little sister seemed to be more eloquent.

When Sheng An heard this, several names immediately appeared in his mind.

Sheng Yuan and her looked at each other: "The most useless ones are those real mediocre officials. My sister thinks that anyone can do it by sycophanting, flattering, and being low-key? Can a treacherous and sycophantic official be successful?" , Reaching the pinnacle, is he an incompetent person? It's just that he doesn't pay enough attention to the pursuit of the minister!"

Such courtiers cannot be shaken by external evaluations and judgments. Isn't this a clear purpose and a firm will? "

As soon as she said this, Sheng An couldn't help chuckling.

"You speak well, but what do you want to express?" Zheng Shi and Sheng Xiangxun could not help becoming vigilant when they heard Sheng Yuan going around, until they couldn't help following her thoughts.

"I want to say that as long as a person has a clear goal and is not biased, and sticks to his original intention, then no matter what method is used to achieve the goal and move towards the original goal, as long as the bottom line is not touched, he should be respected."

After Sheng Yuan finished speaking, she looked at her parents eagerly.

Mrs. Zheng was silent when she heard it. Sheng Xiangxun looked at his wife and then at their little girl expectantly. Come down, think about the ups and downs of the future... a bit too high-spirited."

"???" Sheng Yuan didn't expect that the last person to break the stage was actually Dad!
