Twilight is approaching, and the lights are on.

A group of guards drove out of the Great Qin Palace, galloped along the streets, and shouted all the way: "The Great Qin Emperor dictated, today thousands of scholars knocked on the Que, although there is a suspicion of being deceived and acting recklessly, but I firmly believe that most of the scholars are out of public intentions, not for personal gain.

Confucian disciples, the talents of the country, should not be humiliated, today's people, although their intentions are sincere, but their behavior is excessive, insulting Sven. Today, he ordered those who littered outside the Daqin Gate to immediately take the initiative to clean up and apologize to the scholars in public.

A nation that does not know how to respect knowledge is a nation without hope; A country that does not know how to respect talent is a country without hope.

I hope that the people of Daqin will respect knowledge and talents, take the initiative to stand up, take responsibility for their excesses, and sincerely apologize to the scholars. ”

The palace guards galloped all the way, shouted all the way, and posted everywhere.

It is said that among the scholars who were humiliated outside the Great Qin Gate today, many people became more and more sad and indignant the more they thought about it, some were using wine to vent their anger, and some were even ready to jump into the Qinhuai River to fight to the death.

Suddenly, the shouts of the palace guards resounded throughout the city, especially the phrase "A nation that does not know how to respect knowledge is a nation that has no hope; A country that does not know how to respect talent is a country without hope. "It is easy to understand, but it fully reflects the sincerity of the emperor.

When many humiliated scholars heard this, they couldn't help but burst into tears, knelt directly on the ground, and cried bitterly at the palace: "Your Majesty! 陛xiàah"

Such a scene can be seen everywhere in the city of Nanjing, where the hearts of the scholars are deeply touched, and they kneel on the ground and shout, often simply calling the Son of Heaven repeatedly, without saying anything else;

It was like a wronged child shouting to his parents, which made many people cry out to tears.

The human heart is flesh and blood. Seeing this emotional scene, most of the people who had thrown things at the scholars outside the Great Qin Gate really stood up, took the initiative to apologize to those scholars, and then brought brooms to clean up the garbage outside the Great Qin Gate.

The scholars, who were originally full of grievances, were comforted by the Son of Heaven, and after the people apologized and cried loudly, no one wanted to make trouble anymore. I'm going to knock on the book again.

The next day, Qin Mu took the palace guards and cabinet ministers out of the palace, and went to the Confucian Temple in Taixue to worship in person to show the emperor's respect for Confucianism.

At the same time, Qin Mu asked people to recruit scholars who would go to Beijing to participate in next year's spring boudoir, and let them come to Taixue together. After Qin Mu worshipped the Confucian Temple, he was in the big courtyard of Taixue and asked everyone to sit under the green pine.

Qin Mu doesn't put on a show, and he doesn't engage in high-mindedness. He sat down in the middle of thousands of scholars and had a heart-to-heart talk with everyone.

As an emperor, you really need the majesty of being high in peacetime; But at the same time, it is also necessary to appropriately display some people-friendly images. Just like this, sitting around with everyone, not yet speaking. It has made the scholars feel more cordial.

With this kind of intimacy, when everyone chats, it will seem too sincere and easier to communicate.

"All of you are the heroes of the country, and you are the hope of the future of the country, I am here today to have a heart-to-heart chat with you, and I hope you will also be honest.

Let's not lose our book bags, don't worry about it, don't lie and lie, let's just sit down like a family, gossip, family, don't be restrained, what to say, speak freely, even if it's wrong, it doesn't matter. ”

"Your Majesty!"

"Long live my emperor!"

“”

The scholars sitting around looked happy and happy.

"To be honest, I don't agree with you, but I don't blame you, you are the future of the country, and I would love to see you express your sincere thoughts.

Since I set the Dingding, there have often been ministers out of public intentions, contradicting me, and dare not say anything else, but I don't use words and sins, I think I have done it, because I know that the country has a reprimand, and the country will not die. ”

Qin Mu's words were very sincere, and the scholars present also sincerely admired him, since Qin Mu proclaimed himself emperor, he really did not offend others because of his words, not once, these have always been one of the reasons why the world's scholars talk about and sincerely admire him.

"Your Majesty is a blessing for all the people in the world."

"His Majesty has created the prosperous era of Great Qin, but he has always been humble and good at admonishment, which is really an unprecedented Ming Jun, what the students say, every sentence comes from the bottom of their hearts, and there is no false words to please His Majesty."

“”

Qin Mu said with a smile: "As long as everyone is sincere, and at the same time believe that I am sincere, it will be easy for us to communicate." I will no longer hide from you that I do intend to reform the judiciary;

In all dynasties, there have always been some black sheep who have been corrupt and perverted the law, so that the people have suffered greatly and complained. Dynasties are also often ruined at the hands of these black sheep. I hope that Daqin's judiciary will be fairer, more transparent, and more efficient, and that it will benefit the people of the world.

In this matter, I really don't mean to emphasize the law and ignore Confucianism, the role of Legalism is only to guard the bottom line of society, that's all. In order to make the country more united, the society to be more harmonious, and to lead the morality of the people of the world to a higher level, we can only be guided by the Confucian principles of benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, faith, forgiveness, loyalty, filial piety, and piety.

If these core ideas of Confucianism are abandoned, the whole society will become very ruthless, and the relationship between kings and ministers, fathers and sons, and between people, will be no different from that of animals.

Therefore, I will not despise Confucianism, but will only pay more attention to educating the people with Confucian ideas and guiding the moral concepts of society. I have told the ministers about this point, and today, I will tell you again from the bottom of my heart, because I see you as the hope of the future of Great Qin. ”

In Taixue, quietly, although there were many scholars around Qin Mu, everyone calmed down and listened quietly, Qin Mu did not quote scriptures, and there was no sage-style preaching. It's like being at home with everyone, and it's very approachable, and the more you do this, the easier it is for everyone to listen.

Some even listened and listened, their eyes unconsciously filled with tears of excitement.

"You are the hope of Daqin's future, so you must understand that for a country to develop, it needs many things to be perfected and perfected, and you must have an open mind.

While clarifying Confucianism as the main body of thought in Great Qin, we cannot blindly reject other doctrines. Sage Confucius also went to Lao Tzu to ask for advice, is this detrimental to the virtue of Sage Confucius?

In my opinion, nothing in this world is perfect, and it doesn't matter if it's not perfect, but I'm afraid that I'm not perfect in the first place, and I think I'm perfect.

The same is true of Confucianism, which cannot blindly reject other doctrines, otherwise it will only lead to self-isolation and rigidity. I think most people understand these truths, but some people are afraid to admit their own shortcomings and want to hide their ears and steal the bell.

You are the hope of Daqin's future, and if you are like this, then it will be the greatest sorrow for this country and this nation. I will also feel very sad. ”

The tall green pines, the pine waves, the warm winter sun, shining in the courtyard of Taixue, Qin Mu talked with everyone, thousands of scholars felt a lot of emotion in their hearts, such a thing has never been recorded in the history books.

The emperor who was so close to the people moved everyone present inexplicably. Many people took the initiative to stand up and examine their mistakes and bow down with tears. And Qin Mu didn't blame him, and he comforted him gently.

After that, everyone expressed their opinions, not only did the scholars no longer oppose the reform of the judiciary, but some people also added some good reform opinions to Qin Mu. Qin Mu listened carefully and asked the accompanying officials to record them one by one with a pen.

The fact that this matter can be resolved in this way proves once again that the emperor not only needs the majesty of the high, but also needs sincere communication with the lower classes.

A lot of troublesome things, as long as you can put down the shelf and communicate with others sincerely, it will become much easier to solve.

And this matter became like this, the character of Queen Yang Zhi Xianshu, just the right persuasion, played a vital role.

For this queen, Qin Mu is respectful in his heart, as soon as he returned to the palace, he went to Kunning Palace, let people serve a few side dishes, and Yang Zhi drank at the window, Yang Zhi is not good at drinking, only two sips, his face is red, it is beautiful, just like the plum blossoms in front of the window
