Phi-Fic Chapter 440 Loyal Ministers, Good Ministers, and Virtuous Ministers
Chapter 440 Loyal Ministers, Good Ministers, and Virtuous Ministers
This video of Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty talking with his ministers instantly became popular among all dynasties.
Many scholars pointed out that "Emperor Jiajing did not listen to his subjects, it was him..."
Some people also remembered that when Guangmu mentioned the four great classics before, "Journey to the West" alluded to the events of the Jiajing period.
"If I were born during his reign, I would be really unlucky!"
"It seems that Zhang Juzheng, who extended the life of the Ming Dynasty for decades, was also excavated during the reign of Emperor Jiajing."
"Emperor Jiajing really doesn't know people well! He deserves to be scolded!"
Some people even vented their dissatisfaction with their current lives and complaints about the government on Emperor Jiajing.
Anyway... the comment section of the light curtain video is very lively...
……
Han Gaozu 7th year
"This kid Liu Heng has surprised me again! Hahahaha...he's a good boy."
Liu Bang's undisguised praise made many listeners try hard to guess his meaning.
Lu Zhi did not show it on her face and seemed to be indifferent, but she secretly handed Liu Ying to her and whispered a few words in his ear.
Liu Ying was entangled and didn't want to do it. Lu Zhi stood up and pointed at him and said, "How could I give birth to a son like you!"
"You go down!"
Lu Zhi would not allow her authority to be tested, no matter who it was!
If Liu Bang really wanted to change the crown prince, then...
……
Han Dynasty, the fifth year of Yuanshou
"The reign of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing was truly great, as can be seen in the history books and the evaluations of later generations."
Liu Che couldn't help but feel a little envious, but at the same time he felt that he could do it too!
He must be able to accomplish both civil and military affairs!
"This Jiajing Emperor calls himself Emperor Wen, but what he did is not even half as good as my grandfather!"
Liu Che shook his head. He felt annoyed and unhappy with those who sat on the throne but did not make any progress.
"Aren't they just civil servants? Why can't we fight them?" Liu Che could think of the harm of civil servants, and then thought of the Ming Dynasty civil servants who harmed the country mentioned many times by Guangmu...
This once again reinforced the idea that civil officials should not be too united.
……
Tang Dynasty, the fourth year of Zhenguan
"Massive construction projects! No court attendance for more than 20 years! Household slaves! Private property! With so many shortcomings, how on earth did he think he could be on par with Emperor Wen of Han?!"
Li Shimin suddenly felt admiration for the Emperor Jiajing, whom he had never met before, on the screen.
I admire his courage.
He couldn't even say that he was as powerful as Emperor Wen of Han... Besides, not everyone can compare to him!
However, the image of Hai Rui scolding someone in the video on the light screen inexplicably reminded Li Shimin of a minister in his court.
He then shifted his gaze to the civil officials who were sitting with Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.
Wei Zheng noticed His Majesty's gaze and lowered his head, not looking directly at the Emperor.
"As for whether Hai Rui is a good official, I have no way of knowing, but I also know that officials like Hai Rui are indeed rare."
"What Hai Rui said was not reasonable. Emperor Jiajing was angered by his words, but he still did not kill him. Perhaps what Guangmu said before was right. Emperor Jiajing was a very smart emperor, but he had other ideas. He cultivated immortality and showed off his power..."
Perhaps because they did not live in the Ming Dynasty and did not understand its officialdom, several civil officials of the Tang Dynasty expressed their views on Emperor Jiajing and praised Hai Rui, the famous "honest official."
Of course, Li Shimin was just listening.
He has always been skeptical about what he hears, and he believes more in the answers he gets after verifying them himself.
As an emperor, he could understand Emperor Jiajing, but Emperor Jiajing forgot his identity as an emperor. The emperor is the father of all people. He accepts the support of all people, and at the same time he is also responsible for all people.
Li Shimin knew that he was responsible for the people of the Tang Dynasty and for building a prosperous era so that all the people in the Tang Dynasty would have enough food and clothing...
……
Song Dynasty, the first year of Qingli
Emperor Wen of Han is indeed a model for emperors.
Zhao Zhen wanted to be the "Emperor Wen of Han" who founded the "Wenjing Administration" of the Song Dynasty.
"There were many talented people during the Jiajing period." This is similar to his dynasty.
Zhao Zhen thought of the "Dragon and Tiger List", which was known as the best list in the world, and was referring to the examinations of his dynasty.
Qingli New Deal...
Zhao Zhen has been feeling annoyed recently. All reforms are not easy, nor can they be accomplished by just talking. Zhao Zhen made up his mind.
"The Song Dynasty must change! It must change! I will bear all the consequences!"
Now that we know the direction of the next few decades, how can we not become stronger?
How could the Song Dynasty not take it seriously?
I heard that the neighboring Liao Kingdom was also carrying out reforms in full swing...
……
The Ming emperors all criticized Emperor Jiajing, but since they had already had a certain understanding of Emperor Jiajing's personality, when they looked at the conversation between him and Hai Rui on the screen, they actually felt that it was not a big problem...
Emperor Hongwu Zhu Yuanzhang was just depressed. Why did everyone say that the Ming Dynasty should not have been established well, so that it would not have been destroyed...
If we really talk about the fact that the Ming Dynasty fell during the Hongwu reign... Zhu Yuanzhang was depressed again, so he actually left a lot of problems for his descendants...
Looking back at history, Zhu Yuanzhang believed that "the laws of our ancestors must be changed."
"Anyone who doesn't change will eventually perish. And we must also pay attention to the ministers who try their best to prevent the reform, because that may affect their interests."
Zhu Houzhao was very gloating, because his little cousin happened to be a few years old.
He even thought of inviting Zhu Houcong to Beijing when he was a few years older.
If we want to reform the feudal system, we can start with this.
Zhu Houcong had already laid down and admitted his humiliation, and it was also good that he had repented. As long as he was willing to work hard and focus on the right path, no one in the court would be his opponent.
Zhang Juzheng left a big sword of reform to his descendants, which could cut the Gordian knot!
And the Hai Rui mentioned by the light curtain this time...
Zhu Houcong had been very interested in Hai Rui, who had been speaking in the comment section of the light screen video, ever since he was talking about "Jin Ping Mei".
At that time, he had no idea that this man named Hai Rui would bring him such a big surprise in the future...
"Does your father know?"
As soon as this question was asked, not only the Emperor Jiajing in the video was broken, but also the Emperor Jiajing who was watching the light curtain outside the video was broken.
"You are really good at talking...Father Jun."
Zhu Houcong did not doubt Hai Rui's loyalty or his ability. He was now looking forward to what new surprises this young minister would bring him.
"I hope to see you again, and we won't be so hostile on the screen..."
Zhu Houcong actually had an unspoken thought in his mind, which was: he really took Emperor Wen of Han as his target. It would be great if he could hear from him the words "Compared with Emperor Wen of Han, he is not worse".
Hai Rui, far away in the south, has passed various tests and is ready to enter the officialdom.
He always kept in mind his mother's teachings and the idea of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.
"The king is the father."
"Your Majesty has been diligent in government affairs since the light curtain appeared in the world, and he no longer practices mystical cultivation..." Hai Rui walked while thinking about the stories he had recently heard about Emperor Jiajing.
He looked up at the video on the screen, watching the Jiajing Emperor vomiting blood and being helped away. He stretched out his hand again and looked at the two of them.
