Chapter 107: The world is public
Zhu Qiyu looked at the list in his hand, but smiled and said nothing.
Zhang Mian rolled up his sleeves and said loudly: "I have eight laws in the Ming Dynasty. These are the rules set by Emperor Taizu Zhao. The list you drew up is based on merit. I just want to ask you, what else do you think?
Is this the king’s method?”
"Your Majesty, I believe that the list of names for the martial arts lecture hall in the capital should be discussed first, and then meritorious deeds!"
Shi Heng was a rough man. He could never argue in a debate on scriptures. His eyes were filled with rage, and he was extremely angry, but could not speak.
Chen Ruyan was the Minister of War. Although he had an affair with Xu Youzhen, it was just an affair.
This matter involved the interests of the Ministry of War, so he naturally argued with reason and said: "The king's laws for rewards and punishments are not limited to the rich and the poor, and then the punishments are specified in accordance with the etiquette system."
"However, if the relationship between relatives is based on family relations, and the monarch is domineering and decides public cases based on personal feelings, then the subjects of the world will only die because of petty mistakes and resentment!"
"This is the loss of the king's law!"
The king's law is the greatest hope for fairness in the world. Naturally, it requires no distinction between high and low, rich and poor, in order to be able to complete the etiquette system and clarify the canons and punishments.
If we only talk about relatives and old friends, if the king only decides public cases based on personal relationships, and becomes famous in the world, he will only die because of a minor disaster and end up being wronged.
There is some truth in what Chen Ruyan said. The Ming Law protected the Eight Disciplines, which caused a lot of troubles in the late Ming Dynasty.
For example, Zhang Juzheng's father died in humiliation in the palace of the Liao prince. Zhang Juzheng was appointed as the chief assistant, abolishing the Liao prince's lineage and stopping the salaries of clan members in the world.
From the tenth year of Longqing to the tenth year of Wanli, for seventeen years, none of the clan members in the world could receive a single stone salary.
Coupled with the honorary certificates and the protection of the Eight Councils, by the end of the Ming Dynasty, many people died due to resentment due to Xianjie's mistakes.
Zhang Xi rolled up his sleeves. Chen Ruyan was a Jinshi. Zhang Xi was no match for him in the debate.
He said angrily: "Well, you are very bold, and you are very powerful in wagging your lips and talking. Family ties are family relationships. Do you still have His Majesty in your eyes? I will teach you what etiquette, dignity, and inferiority are in your eyes today!"
Shi Heng shook his head. He was in his prime, stood up, and said with a smile: "Oh, really? Chen Ruyan is a first-class scholar, and so and so is not."
"I am also a distinguished member of the Eight Disciplines and Eight Pisces, come."
Zhu Qiyu shook his head repeatedly, and almost stood up and asked Lu Zhong to pull everyone out, each with a big fifty board.
The noise in Fengtian Palace is unbelievable.
He already had a practical solution. He now had the mentality of standing on the dry bank and watching the excitement, so naturally he also watched their noise.
Lu Zhong stood with a sword in his hand, stepped out of the queue and said: "No noise is allowed in Fengtian Hall. If there is a fight, please move outside the hall."
Yu Qian saw that His Majesty had no intention of stopping the farce. He coughed lightly, and then Shi Heng returned to class and glanced at Zhang Mi provocatively.
Although Zhang Xi was unwilling to do so, Yu Qian had already spoken out, and it would not look good if the quarrel continued.
Although he is an honorary relative, the Central Military Governor's Mansion currently has no troops, and the 220,000 people in the Beijing camp are not under his control.
If the quarrel continues, it will not give Yu Qian face.
Yu Qian sighed heavily. This was not the court he wanted. Such nonsense that represented the interests of a certain party should not come from Ting Wenwu.
But isn’t that what a court is like?
He took a deep breath, stepped out of the queue and said loudly: "Your Majesty, everything in the world is selfless, and no one is selfless. At the beginning of life, everyone is selfish and everyone benefits!"
"Your Majesty is the only one with a male ear!"
Zhu Qiyu was watching the excitement enthusiastically, when Yu Qian stood up and said something incomprehensible.
Everything in the world is a private matter, and there is no such thing as selfishness. This is human nature from birth.
But only the emperor cannot be selfish.
What do you mean? You are just watching the excitement. Why is the flames of war burning on your forehead?
Yu Qian continued to speak loudly: "Your Majesty, if there is public benefit in the world, nothing can be done to promote it; if there is public harm, nothing can be done to eliminate it."
"Don't use your own interests to benefit yourself so that the world will benefit from them; don't use your own harm to cause the world to suffer harm."
Zhu Qiyu could understand what Yu Qian said. He was talking about a truth that seemed very reasonable and simple to Zhu Qiyu.
There are affairs in the world, things that are beneficial to the public, but no one is doing it.
There is no one to get rid of things in the world that are harmful to the public.
There is such a person who does not take his own interests as a benefit, but benefits everyone in the world;
He does not take his own misfortune as a disaster, but he protects the world from disaster.
This person can only be the emperor.
This is also in line with Yu Qian's previously expressed concept of the country being the most important and the monarch being despised. It also echoes what Yu Qian said in the previous context, "Only Your Majesty has a male ear!"
Zhu Qiyu carefully studied this passage and suddenly discovered that Yu Qian was actually a die-hard royalist.
Everyone is selfish, except the emperor.
What is an emperor? A saint!
Isn’t it natural for saints to govern a country?
This round and round still tied the importance of the country and the emperor to a high degree.
Whether you are gentle or not? It depends on how much you have in mind for the world and the country.
He somewhat understood some of Yu Qian's purpose.
In fact, there were frequent chaos in the court, and Yu Qian was afraid that he, a young emperor, thought that the world should be like this, and for the sake of his family's selfish interests, he would cause trouble and go astray.
Yu Qian said loudly: "When you travel on the great road, the world is for the common good."
"Your Majesty holds the authority of the sacred weapon and serves the people properly, promoting benefits and eliminating harm, rectifying the people's virtues, and teaching them to the people."
Zhu Qiyu nodded and said: "Yu Shaobao is really good at every word. I will remember it."
Yu Qian bowed his head and returned to work.
It is the duty of ministers to advise the emperor.
Now it's Zhu Qiyu's turn. The truth certainly sounds good and is absolutely correct.
But specific matters still need to be solved by Zhu Qiyu.
At least Yu Qian doesn't have any good ideas, he will eventually offend someone.
Zhu Qiyu asked Xing'an to take Shi Heng's list, and Cheng Jing to take Zhang Min's list. The two lists came to the imperial court.
Zhu Qiyu picked up the ink pen and asked two chamberlains to open the lists. He first marked Zhang Shi's list with Zhu Qiyu.
Zhang Xi looked ecstatic, but then looked at His Majesty on the platform with a puzzled face, moved the ink pen in his hand to Shi Heng's list, and marked it again.
Zhang Min stared at the platform with a confused look on his face. What was he going to do?
When Shi Heng saw Zhang Xi's list approved by Zhu, he was so angry that he jumped up and down, and his eyes seemed to burst out with fire. But when His Majesty actually approved his list, Shi Heng also looked at the platform with a red face.
The emperor above.
Shi Heng thought that His Majesty was lying to him when he said that he was a fierce warrior and an iron horse, and he was as angry as a tiger for thousands of miles. Of course he was angry.
But after discovering that it was a misunderstanding, Monk Zhang Er was at a loss.
What is this for?
"Starting from today, the descendants of the Eight Disciples and Eight Pisces can join the Xun Army." Zhu Qiyu put away his ink pen, put it on the waiter's plate, and said calmly.
Xunjun is a very strange name. Even Yu Qian is confused. What does it mean?
It sounds like it is a system specially established for people within the scope of Bayi.
Zhu Qiyu continued: "When the first batch of Xunjun graduates, five and six exams will be set up to select the best and determine promotion."
"We will follow this example from now on."
Shi Heng and Zhang Xi immediately understood what His Majesty meant, which was to be gentle in and strict out.
Since everyone wants to enter, then everyone should enter.
But when you graduate, you have to pass five and six tests to determine whether you are excellent.
Even if he cannot be selected, he is still a distinguished soldier and his status has not been reduced.
Shi Heng and Zhang Xi finally lost their opinions and bowed their heads and said: "I will accept the order."
"I inspect the camp every day and never stop for a day." Zhu Qiyu started another topic very calmly.
Shi Heng shrank his head and hid half of his body.
Last time he was having fun in the army and was caught by His Majesty. His Majesty just gave him some baton blows. If Yu Qian found out about this and threw him into prison, it would be bad.
This matter was spread so narrowly that even the imperial censor who was watching him all day long didn't know about it. If His Majesty said this, he would suffer today.
Zhu Qiyu looked at Shi Heng's appearance and shook his head. Of course he was not talking about Shi Heng's lower body matter. His mistakes have been punished and there is no need to raise old accounts again.
The words reward and punishment are very important. Once you have been punished, you cannot hold on to it and punish it again and again. There is no such reason.
He said with emotion: "When Yu Shaobao pays his salary, he even has to personally see it being paid to the sergeants before he can feel relieved."
"Even in the tenth regiment camp, the practice of corporal torture of officers for personal use, embezzlement of military pay, and private service of sergeants has been repeatedly banned. It is even worse in the old camp. I am very worried."
How to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army?
These veterans in the army were good at using corporal punishment, even directly disabled, and they were greedy for military pay. The upper class ate meat, while the lower class could not even lick the bottom of the bowl. Yu Qian had to pay the sergeants personally.
The sergeants still have to work for the veterans at their own risk.
If the morale cannot be improved, can the combat effectiveness be improved?
Can Jingying’s strength be restored?
Is it still possible to drive a long car and swallow thousands of miles like a tiger?
