"Master Prime Minister, how to deal with it?" Fan Yingqi, the top scholar in the last imperial examination who has been promoted to Imperial Academy, is now at Xu Jie's house, asking for countermeasures.
"It's good that you can come, but there is no punishment in the first month, so there is no need to be nervous."
"Come in, a few days ago, Yan Song sent me a gift from Hangzhou The new troupe, old plays and new plays are all fine, but I haven’t had time to listen to them any other time. Come on, let’s listen together.”
Xu Jie solemnly took Fan Yingqi’s hand and walked to the backyard together. .
The stage has been set up a long time ago. Today’s review is about Hangzhou’s newly compiled Xiyuan School Captain, compiled by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. It tells the story of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, in order to avoid the suspicion of the general Zhang Rang, he asked the ten constant servants to make excuses. This is a story about the massive bribery required for projects such as building Gongguan Temple, selling officials and titles, and collecting money to provide for the captain of the Xiyuan Campus.
"Back then, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty built a plank road openly and secretly to attack Chencang. In this case, Emperor Ling's performance was not bad. Then why was Emperor Ling still unable to save the crisis?"
Xu Jie took advantage of the After finishing the performance, he turned around and asked about Fan Yingqi.
In the whole backyard, the hostesses were still busy in various ways, and only the old and the young were listening to the play.
Xu Jie suddenly asked, and Fan Yingqi was still a little unable to react.
"Teacher and Prime Minister, I think it is only expedient to let the Shichang Shi take control of the Xiyuan School Captain. Emperor Ling should hand him over to the imperial court after he returns to power. The sergeant is an eunuch. "How can your hands not be messed up if things go on like this?"
Fan Yingqi was stunned for a long time before giving the most satisfactory answer.
"Yes, then why didn't Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty do this?"
Seeing that Fan Yingqi was about to answer casually, Xu Jie added, "Other emperors such as Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han It's inevitable. Why?"
"Well" Fan Yingqi was a little confused and couldn't answer. Mainly because I couldn't find any similarities between Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Qin and Han Wu for a while.
"Anyway, no one else is here today, so I will tell you openly. I will really be your teacher for once." Although Xu Jie was already in his thirties, his face looked green. Fan Yingqi, who was apathetic, suddenly became interested.
"Please give me some advice." Fan Yingqi quickly stood up and stood in front of Xu Jie, respectfully.
"There is a word in their Hangzhou new school called path dependence, and there is a word in Zuo Zhuan called "The tail is too big to be lost." If you look at it from the front, it will be a matter of course."
"These three words look very different. In fact, they all come from the same line."
"Let's just say that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty initially relied on eunuchs to seize power. Over time, he must have become accustomed to using eunuchs to solve court problems. This is path dependence. , it was not easy to do things."
"Afterwards, in order to do various temporary tasks for Emperor Ling, the eunuchs had to connect with each other, network with courtiers, and form a party with too many people and too much power, causing corruption and chaos in government. It is inevitable."
"When Emperor Ling wants to do things better, he will definitely acquiesce to the eunuch's illegal behavior. Otherwise, who will care for him? This kind of acquiescence will naturally encourage the eunuch to harm the country and the people."
"So, the more eager Emperor Ling was to use eunuchs to reform the government, the more powerful the eunuchs became. As long as the eunuchs became powerful, they became the main way for the imperial power to be exercised. As the master who issues orders, the emperor and The eunuch is a tool that obeys orders. In the end, he can only attract a group of greedy yes-men. ”
Xu Jie finished. He quickly looked up at Fan Yingqi.
"Master, shouldn't eunuchs be prevented from interfering in politics from the beginning?" Fan Yingqi replied anxiously.
"If he doesn't appoint eunuchs, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty may not be able to pass the test of Zhang Rang. You. The key is to be big. As long as you are big, it is not something that the emperor can eliminate if he wants. And There are more than a million Confucian students in the Ming Dynasty. They have been bathed in the teachings of Confucianism for thousands of years. Although these are usually weak, no one can shake this power when it comes to the imperial examination. If we don't stand up, as soon as the strict party comes out today, the new learning will be unobstructed. Only when the imperial examination comes, these powerful forces will be revealed."
"Don't worry, the emperor is now old. It's over half a hundred years old. Zhang Xunfu and Gao Hanwen want to reform in this dynasty, but there is no place in the Ming Dynasty that can collect one hundred thousand taels of silver from business taxes. The test questions are so difficult. If a few gentry can learn Gao Hanwen's empty teachings but don't have time to popularize them, they will naturally be hostile to the people. Then there will be an opportunity to eliminate the heresy and clarify Yuyu. "< /p>
"You, young man, stay calm." Xu Jie looked like he had a pearl of wisdom in hand. Although Zhang Juzheng did not come, such respectful closed disciples made him feel more emotionally comfortable.
At the end, he also recited a sentence: "You will not fight with me, but the world will not fight with you." Please remember to save it, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft and free reading
