I'm really not doing business

Chapter 57
Qi Jiguang's ennobling is not a trivial matter. Yang Bo objected at the Fengtian Hall, and the debate with Zhang Juzheng should have been just the beginning. Qi Jiguang lost the badge of the Quanchu Guild Hall. The reason for impeachment fell, and I vowed not to give up.

But the Jin Party is now too busy to take care of itself. The Huyukou was easily pierced by the northern captives. The Ming court decided that Li Le, who was assigned by the military department, took a group of people to Xuanfu Datong to inspect the frontier. Now the Jin Party can only Tired of defending.

Sometimes, the best defense is to attack, and party struggles don’t have to be full of tricks and tricks. Sometimes waiting for the opponent to make a mistake is also a good choice.

But the little emperor of Ming Dynasty was not very optimistic about this inspection.

Zhang Juzheng thought for a moment before saying: "I think it is a harvest to be able to send people from the non-clan party to Datong in the Xuanfu. If you can find out something, it will be a surprise. If you can learn more about it, That’s the happiest.”

Hearing this, Zhu Yijun understood Zhang Juzheng's words. Zhang Juzheng didn't expect Li Le to find out anything. It was a victory in itself to send Li Le, who was from the non-ethnic party, to Datong and Xuanfu towns. It's just a surprise, more joy than joy.

"Looking at the past to learn the new, you can be a teacher. Mr. Yuan Fu said before that things must come to an end, called Yi." Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and said with a smile.

There must be a result in doing things to be resolute. Obviously Zhang Juzheng said that being able to send people out is a victory, which is not in line with Professor Zhang Juzheng's knowledge that things must come to an end.

"I am ashamed." Zhang Juzheng never thought that one day, his Majesty would be speechless with his own words, and he could only say one word of shame.

"No, I think that Mr. Yuanfu has done a very good job. After the death of Rigong, the censor is sent today, and what can be found out tomorrow, and we can learn more about it in the future. The road is taken step by step, and the meal is a bite. Eating at one bite is like planting a field. If you sow seedlings today, you want to harvest tomorrow, which is hypocrisy.”

"Practice the reality in a down-to-earth manner, and this is our duty."

"A gentleman should do his best." Zhu Yijun definitely denied Zhang Juzheng's self-denial.

These are also the principles taught by Professor Zhang Juzheng. Gentlemen should be fundamental and practice the reality. This is the actual situation. The actual situation is that Xuanfu Datong has long been the back garden of the Jin Party. It is already a great success to be able to send a censor. Any more would be impractical.

Zhang Juzheng found out that the little emperor had really read the book, because His Majesty has already been able to turn the words upside down and say them backwards, and it makes sense.

Often reasonable, is a kind of self-cultivation of scholars.

That is, it is always reasonable, no matter what happens, it is always reasonable, that is, it is always reasonable.

And His Majesty already has this basic self-cultivation.

The lecture feast started again, and Zhu Yijun discovered an interesting thing. Zhang Juzheng's teaching was not rote, not to mention according to the length, but what happened in the court, what he said, and the facts.

Rituals are made according to the situation, and legislation is made according to the situation.

Zhang Juzheng held up his hands and said solemnly: "Confucius said: If there is a way in the world, the rites and music will be conquered by the emperor; if the world has no way, the rites and music will be conquered by the princes."

"From the vassals, you can hope for the tenth generation; if you come from the doctor, you can't lose it for the fifth generation; if the accompanying ministers hold the country's orders, you can't lose it for the third generation."

"Ritual and music conquest: the great handle of the emperor to control the world. Xi: rare. Accompanying ministers: retainers, ministers. State order: the order of the state."

"The master said: When the world is in harmony, all rituals, music and conquests are determined by the emperor;"

"There is no way in the world, and rites and music are decided by the princes. If the princes decide, it may be ten generations at most, and few will not collapse; if the doctor decides, after five generations, few will not collapse; retainers and ministers control the country. , After three generations, there are very few that do not collapse."

Zhu Yijun was silent for a long time. Since when did the orders of the Ming Dynasty be completely controlled by the ministers?
From the 15th year of Wanli, Emperor Wanli began to show bad behavior. If you don’t count Taichang Emperor who died in just one month after ascending the throne, then Wanli, Tianqi, and Chongzhen happened to be three generations, and Ming Dynasty died.

"Has there ever been a precedent?" Zhu Yijun asked with a frown.

Zhang Juzheng nodded and said: "During the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhou Tianzi was small, and the feudal lords were in power. Then there were Duke Huan of Qi, Duke Wen of Jin, Duke Mu of Qin, King Chuzhuang, Duke Xiang of Song, and the Five Boss Die Xing, who led the alliance."

"Bo, read Ba, meaning Fang Bo, is the head of the princes, who will make alliances with the world, also known as the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons."

"Without the tenth generation, the Spring and Autumn Period ended and entered the Warring States Period."

"The conquest of ritual and music comes from the princes, and it will not be lost in the tenth generation."

Zhu Yijun understood that Bo and Ba actually mean the same thing, that is, Fang Bo, the leader of the princes, and the ritual and music conquests come from the princes, and the order of the world will be over in less than ten generations.

Zhang Juzheng saw that His Majesty had carefully prepared the notes, and continued: "After the death of Jin Wengong, the state of Jin entered the dictatorship of the Six Ministers. The Fan family, the Zhongxing family, the Zhao family, the Han family, the Wei family, and the Zhi family conquered each other for more than ten years. .”

"The Fan family and the Zhongxing family were destroyed, and the state of Jin entered the chaos of the four ministers, which only lasted for more than 30 years. The Zhi family was destroyed by Han, Zhao, and Wei, and the state of Jin was divided by the three families of Han, Zhao, and Wei, that is, the three families divided into Jin."

"It was less than a hundred years from the death of Jin Wengong to the division of the Jin family into the three families. After five generations, the Jin State was gone."

"The conquest of rites and music starts from the doctor, and the hope of the fifth generation will not be lost;"

Zhu Yijun nodded. The official did not mean a scholar-bureaucrat, but a prince of the Jin State in Fengshiyi, or a family from the pre-Qin Spring and Autumn Period, which is more appropriate.

"After the death of Duke Zhuang of Lu, Sanhuan ruled Lu, Jisun, Mengsun, and Shusun, and the three families were in charge of the rites and music conquests of Lu. Later, Jisun's retainers Nan Kuai, Yang Hu, and Shusun The retainer Shu Niu, Meng Sun's retainer Gong Lian Chufu, etc., successively monopolized power in the three families, imprisoned and expelled their masters, and Lu State, which once competed with Qi State for hegemony, was destroyed by Chu State."

"Accompanying ministers carry out the state's orders, and the third generation hopes that they will not be lost."

The accompanying ministers are what later generations call scholar-bureaucrats, scholars, or ministers. There are countless examples of this, and Zhang Juzheng can still cite many examples, such as the death of the second emperor of Qin, and the establishment of the second emperor of Qin by Zhao Gao and Li Sijiao. Qin II tossed the Great Qin Dynasty to death.

"There is a way in the world, and the conquest of ritual and music comes from the Son of Heaven. The master said this, and it hurts him. However, how can the power of the king's majesty and blessing not be above the court for a day?" Zhang Juzheng returned to the very beginning. Text, closely related to the theme.

Conquest of rites and music, the great responsibility of the emperor to rule the world, should be decided by the emperor, not princes, aristocratic families, or ministers.

Can and can only be the Son of Heaven.

Confucius said this sentence to be sad that the rituals and music in the world have collapsed, and the power of the king and the blessing cannot be above the court for a day, otherwise the king will not respect his ministers and his ministers will be in chaos. It has become the norm for princes to overstep the Son of Heaven, for officials to overstep the princes, and for retainers to overtake the overlords.

Zhu Yijun thought for a moment, and found that the Wa country is like this. The political system of the Wa country emphasizes that the one below overcomes the top, and the shogunate empties the emperor.

Zhang Juzheng should really hope that the little emperor can become a talent.

"Mr. Yuanfu, I'm confused." Zhu Yijun said while sitting upright and looking at Zhang Juzheng.

As soon as Zhang Juzheng heard the three words "I'm confused," he immediately concentrated his attention. He looked at Lou Ke, heaved a sigh of relief, and bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, the time is coming, you can't eat as much as you want."

Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "The conquest of ritual and music comes from the Son of Heaven, and I am the Son of Heaven, so adding a quarter of an hour is fine."

"The minister leads the decree." Zhang Juzheng was helpless, His Majesty was learning and selling now, the emperor wanted to increase the bell, Zhang Juzheng just talked about the power of the king, how could he not be above the court for a day?

Your Majesty has already learned and put it to good use.

"Can Xuanfu and Datong be regarded as conquests of rites and music, coming from the princes?" Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and asked the question he wanted to ask.

This sentence really expands. It should be, after more than ten years of conquering each other in the Xuanfu Datong, has it formed a privileged economy as the fundamental interest, with fellow villagers and in-laws as the relationship hub, and is closely united, which is equivalent to Does the small political group of princes, more precisely, the current Xuanfu Datong already have all the characteristics of a feudal town in the middle and late Tang Dynasty?

Zhu Yijun didn't speak so clearly, but he believed that Zhang Juzheng could understand.

Zhang Juzheng said bravely: "The tribe's rejection is endless, and the chaos on the frontier is all in accordance with the order of the tribe. It can be regarded as the conquest of ritual and music from the princes."

"Why did the Clan Party succeed?" Zhu Yijun asked again.

Looking at the innocent eyes of the little emperor, Zhang Juzheng really wanted to wave his hand to tell His Majesty to stop asking, stop asking.

But if His Majesty has doubts, he, the emperor teacher, must answer.

He thought for a long time and said: "Because the country is not rich, the soldiers are not strong, and the country is not rich, it cannot be rewarded, and even the soldiers cannot be fed to fight, so they can only rely on local supplies and cannot celebrate rewards; if the soldiers are not strong, they cannot To win in battle, if you can't restrain the violent and victorious, you can't force and punish."

"Celebrating rewards, prestige and punishment cannot be done. The wise cannot advance, and the unworthy can advance and never retreat. All things cannot be adapted, and events cannot be responded to. There is no right time to go up, no right place to go down, and no harmony between people. Therefore, outside the legal principles, the princes suffer become."

Zhang Juzheng also has some examples, which he did not mention. For example, during the time of Tang Minghuang, the Anshi Rebellion and the separatist rule of the Tang Dynasty can be attributed to the fact that after the Anshi Rebellion, the country was not rich, the army was not strong, and the rites and music conquests came from the princes.

Zhu Yijun understood, he already understood the root cause of the clan party's growth, and he also understood Wang Chonggu's confidence in daring to speak such disrespectful words in court discussions.

Ritual and music conquests come from the princes.

Zhu Yijun said with emotion: "The authority of rites and music, conquests, and powers of rewards and punishments is not in the court, but in the local area, which is a violation of justice."

"The rites and music of the country, the rewards and punishments of administration, should be based on the premise of being loyal to the country and the righteousness, and judging the merits and demerits based on facts."

"Being a king, one should unite knowledge and deeds, follow one's words and deeds, and follow one's heart. Since one has said one's words, one must do them. Once one has done one, one must have results. If a subject's words and deeds are not fulfilled, it means that he does not believe in the truth, and his words and deeds are not true to his own heart. , that is, disloyalty, disbelief and filial piety, this is not the virtue that a courtier should have."

"If the ruler is not the ruler, if the minister is not the minister, the world will be in chaos."

Zhu Yijun scribbled a line of words with a pencil on the paper, summarizing today's lecture.

　There is a way in the world, and the ritual and music conquests come from the emperor.Ask for all support, woohoo! ! ! ! ! ! !
