Chapter 679: Tongue War

"Vice Li is invited!"

With a long groan, a radiant man came out, about forty years old, with a round face and a short beard under his chin, and he was quite arrogant, but it was Ye Xizhi, the head of the Shogunate Secretariat. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

I saw him say in a loud voice: "Li Gongyan Xuanzhen Gang is often reversed, respect and humility do not exist, and the ancestral system does nothing, dare to ask what he is referring to?" ”

Li Banghua looked at it coldly and saw that this person was like a literati in the Jingbian Army, wearing a soft hat, a tight robe, a short-sleeved shirt, and a long sword, showing a generous atmosphere.

He also paid close attention to the talents under Wang Dou, and knew that this round-faced scholar was surnamed Ye, and his name was cherished, but he was a local squire in Luzhou, who had studied in Luzhou Academy, and had also won the reputation of a student.

However, this person traveled thousands of miles and did not serve the imperial court, but he went to Xuanfu Town to take up a post, and also served as the teacher of Wang Dou's son-in-law, and he couldn't help but feel disgusted and regretful.

Fortunately, what comforted him was that at this time, Wang Dou's subordinates were all small officials who were not in good grades, and they were at least high-grade officials, and they still abided by their loyalty.

He raised his eyelids slightly, and said coldly: "What is this official referring to, doesn't Ye Xiucai know?" ”

He accentuated the tone of the word "Ye Xiucai", which was quite ironic.

Ye Xizhi laughed and said, "But is it referring to the fact that Li Gong was checked when he entered the town?" ”

There was a burst of laughter in the hall, and Li Banghua's face was faintly green, and he forced himself to endure it.

"There is also a gentry preferential treatment, so we are waiting for this tiny official to sit side by side with the first-class officials of the court?"

Ye Xizhi's words were smiling, but the words were as sharp as a knife. stabbed Li Banghua in the heart, and his body trembled slightly.

Yes, these little officials, how can they be on an equal footing with themselves?

He said coldly: "Li Mou is a small person, the court system is big, the dignity and humility do not exist, where is the country?" ”

He glanced at Wang Dou: "If you don't talk about respect and humility, can it be that the streets and alleys will rise and fight the small people, and they will sit side by side with the Marquis of Yongning." Yongning Hou is also willing? The grass people should enjoy the same treatment as the Marquis of Yongning. Yongning Hou also gladly accepted? Both rich and poor, such as the noble and the low, the thief is like this, Xuanzhen also wants to do this? ”

Many people in the hall took a breath of cold air. This old man Li is Lisuo.

Gao Shiyin looked at Li Banghua. Watch his mouth open and close. Every time he spit out a word, he made his heart twitch. I thought that if I faced him, except for drawing my sword and cutting him down, the only fate of the bickering would be. was to death by him.

But this old man Li is not afraid of death, it is really a headache.

Ye Xizhi laughed for a long time: "Li Gong's words are wrong, this is a leaf obstacle and I can't see Mount Tai!" ”

He said aloud: "Xuanzhen is not not to be humble, but to strictly abide by humility!" It's not that you don't want to be decent, but that you strictly abide by it! ”

He said loudly: "The so-called upper is good, and the lower beam will be very bad, and the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked!" ”

He said: "If at the beginning of the dynasty, the post stations were unblocked, why? The military department is very strict! However, when he arrived in the middle of the country, all the post stations were overwhelmed, and at this time, hundreds of stations were deposed, why? The officials eat and take cards, and do everything, even the children of their domestic slaves, making waves. In the year of Jiajing, there was a son of Hu Zongxian who blackmailed the post officials and supplied extravagantly, although he was blocked by Hai Zhongjie, but how many Hai Zhongjie were there in the world? ”

He sneered: "What kind of official position and identity are these children, who are eligible to enjoy the military station?" This is the reason why the officials do not abide by the dignity and humility! ”

He looked at Li Banghua: "In view of this, the general leads by example, and everyone in Xuanfu Town must be strict with the rules." In this way, all the post stations in Xuanzhen are in ruins, and the pass is even more detailed. This is not as good as the rest of the border towns, the wind is everywhere, the East slaves are roaming, the details are rampant, and there are more disasters in Liaodong! Doesn't Gong Li think that this is not a good thing? ”

Li Banghua was speechless, from the bottom of his heart, he thought that Wang Dou had done a good job, and it was a good thing that the rules of Xuanfu Town were strictly enforced, but he was just uncomfortable in his heart.

And his mind is a little complicated, this person has sharp teeth and whips into it, Wang Dou is not a person under his command, but this person is not used by the court.

"What if you don't abide by the ancestral system and act perversely?"

Li Banghua looked directly at Ye Xizhi, this Luzhou talent had already attracted his attention.

He asked loudly: "The court treats the gentry favorably and attaches importance to scholars, which is the rule set by Emperor Gao!" Xuanzhen regards the gentry and the grass people as one, and openly accepts food as one, where is this Swen, and where is the face of the scholar? Do you have Emperor Gao in your eyes? ”

He shouted, a thunderous voice echoing through the hall.

And accompanied by Ye Xizhi's laughter.

Both of them are very full of energy, maybe they are both Confucian disciples, and they all know how to cultivate themselves.

"Ancestral ......"

Ye Xizhi laughed loudly, and he shouted: "If you talk about the ancestral system, in the year of Hongwu, Emperor Gao made a strict order: all the military and civilian benefits and diseases, agriculture and industry can be spoken, only the living people are not allowed to make suggestions!" Dare to ask Deputy Du Hu Li, which scholar in the current dynasty does not advise? The ancestral system does not use the prime minister, what is the difference between the current cabinet chief assistant and the prime minister? The ancestral system does not use eunuchs, and Emperor Chengzu openly uses ......"

“…… Where is the ancestral system and the governor? ”

Ye Xizhi glanced at Zhu Zhifeng, the governor of Xuanfu who was about to jump out, asked him to sit back again, and then looked at Li Banghua and sneered: "The ancestral system does not allow associations, and now there are literary societies everywhere, and this violation of the ancestral system is now too numerous to mention." According to Li Gong's words, this is to kill all the martial eunuchs in the world, and even the royal family must be killed? ”

In Ye Xizhi's laughter, Li Banghua's face was pale, this generation used his way to govern himself, so that he couldn't say a lot of words.

Looking at his radiant round face, the more you look at it, the more hateful it becomes.

He was about to reprimand, when a gentle voice sounded: "Indeed, if Emperor Gao's ancestral system was followed, Banghua Gong would have been beheaded long ago." After all, in the year of Hongwu, Zhao Lin, a student who violated the ancestral system, was beheaded and hung in the Guozijian for more than 160 years. ”

One person walked out slowly, but it was Ye Xizhi's friend Qin Yi, who was already serving as a senior praise painter in the staff department at this time. The two arrived in Baoan Prefecture with their dreams, and a few years passed. At this time, one army and one government are all on the road to realizing their ideals.

His expression was gentle, in stark contrast to Ye Xizhi's aggressiveness, but there was a needle hidden in his words, which made people extremely uncomfortable.

I heard him laugh and said: "Qin can hear that when he was young, the prince liked to talk loudly, point out the country, and scold Fang Xuan, if the ancestral system is strictly implemented, I am afraid that at that time, the head will also be hanging high somewhere, right?" ”

Li Banghua's face was blue and white for a while. Just about to speak. Ye Xizhi let out a long laugh and said, "Brother Gongfu missed a point, in fact, there is another ancestral system that has survived to this day, that is, the eight-share imperial examination system. Title is given as an excerpt from the scriptures. Since the four books and one classic. The rest are all put on the shelf, and the picture is full of history, and it is not dazzling. ”

He said, "It's just a sigh. Most of these generations are dumbfounded, don't understand practice, and talk to them with two eyes and a strong tongue. Even Emperor Gao also sighed, "Since I ascended the throne, although the edict of seeking talent has been issued repeatedly, the effect of obtaining virtue has not been achieved", and Banghua Gong naturally believes that this government is great and good, and it is a reserve material for the country, and there is no need to be flexible. ”

Qin Yi smiled and said: "So there is a saying, usually talk about your heart with your hands, and report to the king when you die." The princes have no practical materials, and they have to stand by and watch, and now they can't even get food and salary for the saints to train the new army, do I have no money? Definitely! ”

He smiled: "Of course, in the eyes of the princes, Qingliu, who can only talk about empty things, is better than a cadre who can do practical things, as long as you understand the righteousness of the monarch and the minister." ”

Ye Xizhi said: "However, there are more 'sages' who say that they are only officials for money, and it turns out that the Da Ming Law only says that Xiucai is exempt from forced labor, and people are exempted from forced labor and taxes are halved, and when they reach Jinshi, they are exempted from all forced labor and taxes." Looking at the local squires, how many people and jinshi are there? What does the ancestral system they speak of have to do with them? ”

Qin Yi laughed and said, "This is called selectively violating the ancestral system!" It's not that the ancestral system can't be violated, but to see if it's beneficial to yourself! ”

He shook his head and sighed: "Obviously full of reading the book of sages, how can you become a silverfish of the country when you become an official?" It is sad and lamentable, to choose only what is beneficial to oneself, and to turn a blind eye to the teachings of the saints. ”

The two sang and harmonized, sneering, and ruthless, while Li Banghua's face trembled like a cramp, and he tried to speak several times, but he was blocked by the two, and for the first time he understood the interests of local officials.

Everyone in the hall also saw an eye-opener, especially Gao Shiyin admired, thinking that Mr. Qin and Mr. Ye were at stake, and they were worthy of being born as scholars, and this mouth was too neat.

Wang Pu and Du Xun even laughed, looking at Li Banghua's embarrassment, it was really refreshing.

But many people in the hall were also thinking, yes, why is that?

Wang Dou nodded secretly, as the so-called fighting poison with poison and dealing with scholars, it is necessary to deal with scholars with scholars, and those who draw their swords and swing their swords like Gao Shiyin will inevitably fall behind.

After all, if you stick to your own ideas, many people are not afraid of death, and they will not be able to be eliminated from the body at any time.

At the same time, he had an idea, Xuanfu Town faintly produced a new trend of thought, and his own group also began to have its own thinking, which began to conflict with the concept of the imperial court.

It's just that at the moment everyone has only a vague idea, and it is not yet systematic, and it seems that a big debate must begin.

With a newspaper weapon in hand, Wang Dou is confident that he will not fall behind.

He thought about it here, Qin Yi and Ye Xizhi were extremely happy, looking at Li Banghua's uncertain face, it was comfortable.

Both of them were victims or disgruntled under the current system, and they were also extremely worried about the situation at that time, dissatisfied with the incompetence of the court princes, they sought change, and finally under the rule of Wang Dou, they had the opportunity to display their talents.

At this time, they can sit side by side with the first-class members of the imperial court, and in this regard, they are all grateful to Wang Dou for his kindness.

At the same time, they have no good impression of the current princes of the DPRK and China, and Li Banghua looks down on these petty officials and low-level literati, how can they look down on the princes?

So unceremoniously, seize the opportunity, just open the knife and the secret gun, and attack Li Banghua's heart.

Li Banghua's face was red, and for the first time, he felt a little overwhelmed and embarrassed.

Although Wei Jingyu on the side was anxious, he was also thoughtful.

Zhu Zhifeng was anxious, he stood up suddenly, and shouted: "With the crowd and widows, it is not a gentleman's doing, Li Gong, the lower officials are here to help you!" ”

However, at this time, Li Banghua has already awakened to his tactics, and it is particularly unwise to entangle with small characters, and it is necessary to find the most important target.

He adjusted his mood, slowly turned his head towards Wang Dou, and finally said coldly: "The meaning of the Marquis of Yongning is to no longer pay attention to the rules set by Emperor Gao, not only at this time, the gentry and grass people in Xuanzhen are regarded as one, it is the policy of the gentry to pay for food as one, and it will also be implemented in the future?" ”

As Li Banghua Sensen's words spit out, for a while, the hall was silent, and everyone looked at Wang Dou on the main throne.

It is Wang Pu, Ji Shiwei, Du Xun and others who are very attentive. (To be continued.) )
