Chapter 182: The Shanhaiguan Mutiny

This question is the essence of the problem.

Looking at the essence through the appearance, a good minister wants to be an official, and he wants to be an official in his dreams. However, he really can't make that broken volume.

But obviously, if he tells the truth, the noble concubine will be disappointed, and His Majesty the Emperor will also be disappointed.

As a human being, even if you are disappointed in yourself, you can't let others down.

Sacrificing the ego and perfecting everyone is the way of being a man.

The so-called hello, I am good, everyone, this is the principle.

Therefore, the good minister's face did not change, and said with a straight face: "Niangniang, a gentleman loves money, and he takes it in a good way." The grass people didn't want to be a corrupt official and make money from the people, so they handed over the blank papers. ”

A rustic teenager stood in front of him and talked about the love of money as a gentleman, which made Wanli feel funny.

He held back a smile and said with a straight face: "Is that really the case? … The purpose of studying is not to make people corrupt officials, and if you do what you say, aren't all my courtiers corrupt officials? ”

"Whether the officials are corrupt officials or not, Your Majesty should know better than the grass people. The only thing that the grass people know is that the Golden House can only be owned with a lot of money. ”

Liangchen gave a mock rhetoric, after all, not all officials are corrupt officials, and not all officials are clean officials. In front of the emperor, he had better not say it too absolutely.

"Do I know?" Wanli smiled and shook his head, glanced at Concubine Zheng, and the couple had a smile in their eyes.

"If you hand in a blank scroll, you will hand in a blank scroll, and what do you scribble on it?"

Concubine Zheng Guifei walked to her husband's side, gently supported him, and then looked at Wei Liangchen, "Scholars, the most poor; Abuse of time, rotten as mud. The country was originally a talent ploy, but who knew that it had become a deceptive skill... If you live up to the time and fall into a coma during the day, you will teach and deceive high-ranking officials, and it is also the bad luck of the people's court. This little poem, but you made it yourself? ”

Liangchen didn't expect that Concubine Zheng Guifei would be able to recite his little words so fluently, and he couldn't help but be impressed by this woman. Moreover, this noble concubine lady looked more indescribably charming than Baba and Xi Li.

This may be the taste of ripeness.

An intellectual, and royal mature woman with an incomparably noble temperament.

However, thinking that this person even had a grandson, Liangchen suddenly didn't think about anything, only curiosity about this woman.

After all, this person's reputation in the history books is no worse than that of Xi Li and Baba, and even more prominent.

In the Ming generation, the two concubines are the most legendary.

One is called Wan Zhen'er, and the other is this Zheng Gui'er.

Concubine Zheng needs an answer, Wanli also wants to know, and Liangchen must give them a reasonable explanation.

Handing in the blank paper can be explained in that way, what is the scribbling on the paper?

Liangchen knew that this level could not be bypassed, but this explanation was really a headache for him, because it involved the attack on the eight shares, which was not something that his talent and insight could say in a few words.

His opinion can only be described by the word fur.

Therefore, after some consideration, Liangchen decided to use the most simple and appropriate words to explain the reason for his scribbling.

"Your Majesty, the grass people's family is poor, my father and brother have been farming in the fields for many years in order to provide me with education, and I don't want to do anything at home, I just hope that I can study and succeed. However, since the grass people entered the school, they saw that the students who were older than me, as big as me, and younger than me, in order to earn fame, were poor in the scriptures, pondering the words and deeds of the sages and the Cheng Mo of the current texts. Nothing else, it's really no distinction between grains, rice and wheat, leeks can also be made into wheat, and those who are prone to it are also, and the text is dropped in the schoolbag... The grass people have been thinking, this kind of person is admitted to the imperial examination and became an official, what is the advantage for the people and His Majesty? ”

Speaking of this, Liangchen paused, first, to give himself time to think about the rest of the rhetoric, and second, to see how Wanli and Zheng Guifei reacted.

found that the two emperors and concubines could listen attentively, and their hearts were at ease, so they said: "When I was in the examination room that day, I saw that the students who were not math on the desk were only on the desk, meditating and writing questions, immersed in it, and were not aware of the movement of the outside world. Ignoring things outside the window, is it really the attitude that a reader should have? … When I handed in the paper, I didn't know what to do in my heart for a while, so I made this little poem. ”

Hearing Liangchen's words, Wanli and Concubine Zheng Guifei glanced at each other, and there was approval in each other's eyes.

"Hearing you say this, you really hate these eight strands, so much so that you don't want your fame." Wanli Road.

"The grass people don't know what His Majesty and Niangniang think, the grass people think that the harm of the eight shares is equivalent to the burning of books, and the corruption of talents is even worse than the suburbs of Xianyang. Eight shares are prosperous and the "Six Classics" are slight, eighteen rooms are prosperous and twenty-one are wasted. Although the grass people are small, they know that there is no way to govern the country in the Four Books and Five Classics, there is no policy of governance, and there is no way to benefit the people, so the grass people would rather hand over the blank paper than become a useless person. Liangchen added in a very firm tone, "Even if the grass people are farming, they can pay a tax for the country and do their best for Your Majesty!" ”

"If all of my courtiers had the insight of this little fellow, I..."

Wanli didn't continue, Wei Liangchen's words touched him a lot, and the various experiences of the past few decades have made him, the emperor, truly see and understand the skills of the sages.

There are mountains of sparse notes in the clerical room, and a random copy is full of great truth, and the words are the scriptures, however, when you look at the whole text, except for the lessons, accusations and persuasions, there is no reality.

Whether it is national policy or side affairs, or people's livelihood disaster relief, etc., the actual principal official's performance can still be regarded as to the topic, but when it comes to Kedao, it is scolding this and that, only scolding people who have the ability to do things can't do things, and people who don't have the ability don't dare to do it. Finally, make up for the east and make up for the west, and treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

In terms of the most important taxes of the country, whether it is a local official or a Kedaojing official, they all give benefits to the people, and collectively advise the emperor not to compete with the people.

But even if Wanli agreed with what Wei Liangchen said, he had no way to change the status quo, only to continue to watch the successive officials from the imperial examination hall, using Baguwen as a stepping stone, and becoming his courtiers in a grand manner, but continuing their ancestors' uncompetitive careers and fighting with him, the emperor, to the end.

They are always right, because behind them are the sages, the great way.

The emperor is always wrong, because the emperor will only be selfish and stupid.

As the emperor, Wanli couldn't fight them, so he could only hide in the deep palace.

Concubine Zheng likes Wei Liangchen very much, this little guy is inconspicuous, but it is really interesting, and what is even more rare is her temper.

"Heavenly relatives, earth relatives, not as good as mother's relatives" made her have a good impression of Liangchen, she smiled and said: "Your name is Wei Liangchen, and you have your own door to serve the country." Don't make eight-strand texts, and treat them as useful people. Now, you tell Your Majesty and the Palace, what are your abilities? ”

"Your Majesty, the grass people's ability..."

What can a good minister do? But he has no ability, he has to say that he has the ability, but just as he was about to talk about his ability, an old eunuch in a red robe ran in with a panicked face: "Your Majesty, the Shanhaiguan military mutiny!" ”
