Chapter 327 The difference between high-level sprayers and low-level sprayers
Since Gan Qi made those remarks in the academy, people in the academy were panicked, and some old scholars invited by Hu Yuan even criticized Gan Qi in class.
The strangest thing is that the Gan family, which used to be crowded, has also been neglected a lot in the past few days. The people in Bianliang City are really well-informed, and it is also a bit strange for Ganqi himself to insist on publishing those remarks in the newspapers. This time, the entire Bianliang City knew that Ganqi had criticized the emperor's moral qualities.
What is the result when the emperor is angry?
So it is better to wait and see what many people think, at least before things are clear, you should wait and see.
As for what Gan Qi said, is there any reason?
Most people don’t care about this issue, just say that Gan Qi’s sentence criticizing the emperor “for small benevolence and righteousness” is enough to distinguish right from wrong, especially those who are half-hearted in reading and have no real ability to think. Gan Qi has become their target of opposition.
Emperor Renzong had a moral failure, which was something that people all over the world could not agree with.
However, Zhao Zhen himself has never expressed his opinion. A thing he has done for decades has always been praised and something that Zhao Zhen himself is proud of. He was suddenly slandered by Gan Qi.
In Zhao Zhen’s heart, he was either unreasonable or unacceptable. Once he accepted it, where would the emperor’s face be put? If it was a simple thing, it would be fine. The key is that this thing has been done for decades. Once he admits his mistake, there will be more troubles after admitting his mistake.
But no one expected that there were some voices supporting Gan Qi in the Bianliang City, except for Gan Qi's students and some classmates.
These sounds are everywhere in buildings or in teahouses. Those who make these sounds are not familiar with Gan Qisu.
Why do these people fight to support Ganqi outside?
Because these people are victims of some criminal cases, some are bullied outside, and those who bully him are at large. Some children have conflicts with others outside, their legs and feet are broken, and the murderer enters the yamen and comes out again soon and comes to threaten them.
Some people were thieves in their homes and suffered heavy losses. The thieves were caught and came out again after a few days. Even the stolen goods were not fully tracked down, but the person was released by the yamen.
There are even murder cases. After a few years of murder, the murderer actually stared at a tattooed face and reappeared in Bianliang City. He also shouted five or six times a day and showed off his power on the street.
In the past, everyone praised the emperor's act of pardoning prisoners as a benevolent and righteous act. Without the room for these victims to speak, it is rare for someone to come forward to talk about this matter today.
Of course, some people who have been abused by crimes in Bianliang City will come out and say that they are indignant.
It is a good thing for the voices of these people to appear at this time. Only with the voices of these people, those who are truly wise will truly reflect on it. Is it really wrong to reflect on the emperor's annual amnesty for prisoners as Gan Daojian said?
The emperor did not say anything, and the matter was dragged on.
On the contrary, Gan Qi, who had been willing to do so before, calmed down and also reflected on him. Did he slap the emperor's face too hard this time? He was so stung too hard?
Should I also give a step to the emperor?
But how do you give this step to the emperor?
This is also a problem. Gan Qi is not a high-ranking official in the court, and this matter is not a dispute over the court. It is not so easy to give the emperor a step.
After thinking about it all the time, Gan Qi really thought of a way to give the emperor a step.
Gan Qi, who thought of a solution, hurried into the city to meet Wang Anshi.
Wang Anshi's view on this matter was expressed in his mouth: "Daojian, you should not criticize Your Majesty like this this time. Everything has a smooth way. There is no need to say that Your Majesty is so righteous in public."
Wang Anshi saw the crux of the problem. It was not that Gan Qi's words were unreasonable, but that Gan Qi really slapped the face that Zhao Zhen valued the most. If he was not this face, but another one, it would be much easier to do.
Gan Qi nodded, maybe he shouldn't say it directly what a person values most in his life. Fortunately, it's a person like Renzong. If he gets another person, even if Gan Qi says it right, it will be a consequence of anger and shame.
But Gan Qi only reflected a little, but did not regret it. Why?
If you want to establish your divine character and want to become a god in one battle, you must be so successful and be famous all over the world and make your remarks become authoritative.
If you say it smoothly, your reputation will be far from that.
This is a shortcut that Gan Qi found on the road to great scholars. Since he decided to take this shortcut and did not want to spend decades to accumulate reputation like Hu Yuan, he had to take some risks.
There is no waste of lunch in the world, I just want to "get" and not "giving". Where can I do such a good thing in the world?
If you don’t criticize the emperor like this, how can you rise to the path of a great scholar? It’s unacceptable to have to survive for decades. Life is short, decades, and life will pass.
There are quite a few people who do this in history. In the Ming Dynasty, the most were Qingliu who asked for court and civil servants who asked the emperor to beat them. Isn’t that what they mean?
Gan Qi replied to Wang Anshi as follows: "Brother Jiefu, this matter is a temporary struggle for intentions. I think you know it, and I blame me for being young. But since things have reached this point, there is naturally a solution."
Wang Anshi shook his head and said, "Your Majesty can't help you solve it. Your Majesty didn't immediately vent your anger. I think your Majesty also thinks you are saying something. But after decades of this matter, how could Your Majesty ignore the face and nodify your mistakes? If Your Majesty doesn't express his opinion, the debate will inevitably not be stopped. You are also full of enemies everywhere and you can't even get out of the door."
"So today I came to me, so I wanted Brother Jiefu to help me do something, maybe this matter can solve this problem." Gan Qi said.
"What's the matter?" Wang Anshi was a little confused, wondering what clever means did Gan Qi have to break this situation.
"Reform." Ganqi replied.
"Reform? What method is changed?"
"Change the laws and regulations of the Song Dynasty." Gan Qi said.
“How to change?”
Gan Qi organized a few words and said, "Write the matter of amnesty in the laws and regulations, and write to Your Majesty in the name of Brother Jiefu. I thought about the content of the reform. It is not impossible to pardon prisoners, but pardon prisoners cannot be pardoned in general, and a person who can be pardoned and an unpardonable person will be divided into."
Wang Anshi felt that Huo Liang suddenly appeared in front of him, and he asked again: "Who can forgive me, and who can't forgive me?"
"The first is that the victim forgives him. Such prisoners can be forgiven at the discretion. Second, those who have made great contributions in prison or assassination can be forgiven at the discretion. Third, those who are old or young can be forgiven at the discretion. Those who are less than fourteen years old or over sixty years old can be forgiven at the discretion. Fourth, those who are seriously ill and have been evaluated by the government office can be forgiven at the discretion." Gan Qi said, these are some provisions for light sentences or reductions in sentences in later generations.
When Wang Anshi heard this, he nodded and said, "This method is reasonable, so who can't forgive me?"
"First, those who commit repeated offenses cannot be forgiven."
"This is extremely reasonable. Those who repeatedly violate it will not be grateful and do not want to repent, and will definitely not be forgiven." Wang Anshi replied directly, this one is in line with his wishes.
Gan Qi said again: "Secondly, those who are extremely evil cannot be forgiven. For example, those who are maliciously murdered and set fire, raped and plundered, they will definitely not be forgiven, and it will be difficult to relieve public anger. Third, the death penalty cannot be forgiven. Since the death penalty has been sentenced to death, it must be the great sin. If all death penalty can be forgiven, then how can the law be majestic?"
Wang Anshi was still nodding: "Daojian's words of reform are very reasonable. This will not only keep Your Majesty benevolent, but also avoid many unrest. It will kill two birds with one stone."
Gan Qi smiled and shook his head, saying, "Two kills you in one go."
"Two goals in one go? What else can I do?" Wang Anshi asked in confusion.
"Brother Jiefu, with your wisdom, how could you think of anything else?" Gan Qi smiled.
Wang Anshi thought for a moment, suddenly realized, and laughed and said, "Haha... Daojian is so smart, Daojian, you are really smart. In this way, you can protect Your Majesty's face, let Your Majesty be kind, and you can also win the debate in front of you. But I didn't expect this just now, Daojian is admired by others."
Gan Qi sighed and smiled and said, "Good people do it to the end and send the Buddha to the West. Since I raised this problem, there should be a solution. In the name of Brother Jiefu, write this method into a memorial and send it to you. Your Majesty does not have to express any attitude towards my previous remarks, so there is no need to make any trouble. Your Majesty only needs to respond to the method reported by Brother Jiefu, and everyone will be happy. Your Majesty can protect your kindness, keep your inner and face, and everything will be fine."
Trolls also have to be divided into realms. Some trolls only know how to spray, and they vent after spraying. This is a low-level troll.
Advanced trolls not only spray, but also spray out some reason. After spraying, they can also propose a better and more correct solution.
Gan Qi is a senior troll. After spraying, he was solved and he can take into account the face of all parties.
Wang Anshi had no time to wait, and hurriedly went to the table and said, "Daojian, I will write it for you now, but I won't sign my name, sign Daojian your name."
Gan Qi waved his hand repeatedly: "No, no, no, sign my name. I am afraid that Your Majesty will hesitate at that time, so you will sign your name. In this way, Your Majesty will have no scruples and will praise Brother Jiefu. This way, Brother Jiefu solved Your Majesty's embarrassment, which is even more of a great achievement."
Gan Qi really thought so. At this time, the emperor should be angry. In this anger, Gan Qi proposed the solution again. It seemed that he was slapping the emperor in the face in disguise. It was like Gan Qi was telling the emperor, "Look, I was scolding you before, right?" Is my method better than yours before?"
This solution was proposed by Wang Anshi, so it would be different. The emperor only needed to praise Wang Anshi, then nodded and answered, and everything would be fine.
Of course, Gan Qi has other considerations. The reform is Wang Anshi's old profession. Even if it is a small trial today, let Wang Anshi get some experience and let the emperor see Wang Anshi's level and ability. When talking about reform in the future, Wang Anshi will gain more trust from the emperor, whether it is the new emperor or the old emperor.
Wang Anshi thought about it, but felt that Gan Qi was saying something reasonable and not pretentious. He replied: "Okay, I will sign it. Today is considered to be your affection, and I remember it in my heart."
"Brother Jiefu doesn't have to be so polite. You and I won't talk about this." Gan Qi helped Wang Anshi sincerely, and I just hope Wang Anshi will be good.
Wang Anshi was naturally moved. While writing, he looked up at Gan Qi and said, "Daojian should not leave tonight. Just have a snack at my house and drink a few drinks. Whenever he discusses things with you, he will always gain a lot. It is really God's favor to meet you in Bianliang."
