Wanli Xinming

Chapter 167 Righteousness
Zhu Yijun's last words, "big white ass", are so sinister, they have damaged these people who are invited to sell their names to the bones.It is said that a scholar can be killed but not humiliated. Wang Yongji, a member of the Ministry of Housing, is one of those who oppose the reform. Hearing the emperor say such meanness, his face flushed with anger, and he suddenly went out to work and kowtowed: "The emperor wants to see his ministers and so on. For dogs and horses, soil mustards?"

Wang Yongji, with the word Mingshou, was a scholar in the second year of Longqing. Because of his uprightness and courage, he was always known as a straight minister in the court.He impeached Zhang Juzheng this time, saying, "From the point of view of the minister, everything in the world is unselfish, no one is unselfish, and only your Majesty has a public ear." If he criticized Zhang Juzheng for monopolizing his own interests without any scruples, then the small minister would suffer from no way to report His Majesty's kindness. , only Minister Afu.

This is very reasonable, but in the eyes of Zhu Yijun, who has raised the banner of reform, Wang Yongji's argument is nothing more than alienating the monarch and his ministers.At this time, I saw him resisting his voice, and his words were very hard. There was a certain meaning in it that "the monarch regards his ministers as dogs and horses, and the ministers regard the monarch as the people of the country; the monarch regards his ministers as soil mustards, and the ministers regard the monarch as an enemy". , became more and more angry.

He snorted coldly: "It turns out that it was Wang Mingshou, who was taught by his mother that 'no one hundred years of pushing officials', did Lingtang teach you to coerce your father to come today?"

The pale-faced officials who had already been scolded by the emperor, their hearts trembled when they heard the emperor scolding Wang Yongji like this.

Zhu Yijun said "there is no one hundred years of pushing officials", which refers to an incident when Wang Yongji was in Huaian's former office.Wang Yongji was born in Shigui Village, Jinjiang, Fujian, where there were only Xu and a few Wangs.Because Xu is a big surname and Wang is a small surname, it is inevitable that there will be a lot of bullying and bullying, and there will be a grudge with Wang Yongji.Wang Yongji was later admitted to the jinshi, and his official residence was Huaian.Due to returning to his hometown on a leave of absence, a member of the Xu clan, Feng Chuan Wang Yongji, personally led his servants to destroy the stone turtle Xu clan. He knew that he was insufficient and resisted. An incense burner in front of the seat was shattered into 49 pieces, which was exactly the number of people attending the meeting, so everyone took a piece of it and fled for their lives.Later, Wang Yongji was warned by his mother: "There are thousands of stone turtles, but there are no century-old officials." [Note]
This incident is nothing but a famous anecdote in Qingliu, and the preacher praised Wang Yongji's mother for being virtuous and lofty.However, in the eyes of Zhu Yijun, who has heard of this matter - who can put himself in the shoes of the stone turtle Xu Shi's sense of darkness!

Today, because Wang Yongji resisted his voice, Zhu Yijun pointed out this matter with a gun and a stick. He said it was extremely mean and made Wang Yongji hard to resist.The emperor's words occupy the righteousness, and there is nothing wrong with the accusation - your virtuous mother will let you come to coerce me to bow today?

Wang Yongji listened to the emperor's almost abusive words, and rushed straight to the top of his head in shame and anger, tears welling up in his eyes.He kowtowed first, then choked: "What the emperor taught is that people who are unfaithful and unfilial, how can they stand between heaven and earth?!"

After saying this, he stood up abruptly, and in two steps, he crossed the courtiers who were kneeling to receive their hair and fell, and slammed his head against the red lacquered wooden pillar in the Hall of Emperor Huangji.He couldn't think about it for a while, but it was true that he wanted to die, so he hit the ground with great force. The emperor and all the ministers only heard a loud bang. Wang Yongji slammed his body and fell to the ground, blood gushing out from his head.

At this time, the Emperor's Palace was coaxed, and all the ministers were so frightened that they couldn't stand.In shock, Zhu Yijun stood up abruptly from the throne, not knowing what to say for a while. ——Fortunately, the two imperial physicians who came to treat Tao Da before were left behind by Chen Ju, which came in handy at this time.

Chen Ju saw the big mess, and hurriedly went off the stage to separate the crowd and let the two imperial doctors come over to bandage for diagnosis and treatment.The two imperial physicians came over to feel Wang Yongji's pulse, then looked at the injury on his head, and said to Chen Ju, "I bumped into a pit on my forehead, hurry up and send it to the medical school."

Chen Ju looked at the imperial doctor, and said loudly, "The emperor has a will to treat him with all his strength!" The two imperial physicians nodded and asked the inner official to quickly find a piece of wood, put Wang Yongji on it, and trotted all the way out of the palace to take him to the doctor. went to the hospital.

After Chen Ju returned to his original position, Zhu Yijun beckoned to him.Chen Ju didn't dare to step on the alchemy, so he could only take two steps forward and wait for Zhu Yijun to lean down before he reported in a low voice, "Your Majesty, although he is seriously injured, he will not die." Then he pleaded guilty in a low voice: "I am in a hurry, sir. If you do not ask for the decree, but pass the decree without authorization, you also ask the emperor to punish you."

Zhu Yijun nodded and comforted him: "Well, it's okay to be in a hurry in front of me this time."

The two briefly exchanged a few words, Hao Weiqiao saw that the order in the hall was still not restored, he coughed twice, and then shouted loudly: "Everyone is quiet! If there is another noise, fork out!" The ministers wiped the cold sweat on their heads. Pressing the thumping heart in his chest, he arranged his shift to stand.

Wang Yongji's staunch move once again turned the court meeting, which Zhu Yijun had already controlled, into an unpredictable direction.Although the ministers in the hall felt that Wang Yongji was making a big fuss, but as the emperor of the ninety-five-five-year-old, he personally went to the court to argue with his ministers, and his words were mean.

Seeing that the emperor was in a daze on the throne, Lu Tiaoyang hurriedly left the class and said: "Your Majesty, although Wang Yongji is stubborn, his behavior is no different from the act of threatening the palace just now! Clothes and food are seen by all the people in the world, and they are all praised!"

"Wang Yongji sacrificed his life recklessly, not for the sake of righteousness, but he committed suicide because of shame and anger! Even if he died, his sins would not be forgiven! With his suicide, in the name of the emperor, Jie Zhou, his heart is not to be questioned!"

In the end, it was a minister of the secondary government, and a few words gave Wang Yongji's suicide behavior a character, and what he said was reasonable, making it impossible to refute.When all the officials in the hall heard this, they all nodded and said yes, saying that the king used his own to kill himself, and the emperor did not mind.

Zhu Yijun calmed down, his face was solemn, and he said loudly: "Well, Mr. Lu doesn't need to comfort me. Whether Wang Yongji killed himself with shame or anger, or sacrificed himself for the righteousness in his own heart, and asked him again when he woke up. However, the righteousness in the heart of the subject, It is different from what I have in mind. I will take this opportunity to talk to you."

All the ministers listened to the emperor's revelation, all held their breaths and listened to Zhu Yijun's words.

Zhu Yijun said: "The idea in your heart is nothing more than 'helping protect the society and the yard, and promoting the ruler, Yao and Shun', etc., or if the ruler has no way, he floats in the sea on a boat, the ruler has the way, and the tie stands in the court. "The world" is the ambition of the scholar-officers; "The imperial court has been supporting scholars for a hundred years, and those who die for righteousness are today's", the righteousness of the scholar-officers."

"My aspirations and righteousness are also different. Have you seen the "Wan Guo Kun Yu Quan Tu"? Therefore, when I first saw this picture, I was deeply apprehensive about the general trend of the world. , Hao Hao Tang Tang, the country's opportunity to go up and down has been revealed!"

"When I first got this picture, I arranged for attendants to publish the words of the merchants in Haojing on the newspaper - unfortunately, you have only read the "Shan Hai Jing", why have you ever thought deeply about today's "big world", because of the sea road exploration Ming, the path has been changed!"

"You can take a closer look at the places where the eunuchs of the Three Treasures Protected in the past, although it is breathtaking; today, the places where the Xiyi have gone are ten times that of the eunuchs of the Three Treasures! Today, the ships and navy of the Great Ming Dynasty can still be like the eunuchs of the Three Treasures. Wealth is on the sea, and imperialism is beyond the gate of the country?"

"The land of the Ming Dynasty has more than ten thousand miles in front of the sea. If the Western barbarians are strong and attack my heart with a fleet, the smoke of a hundred times the time of the Japanese rebellion will burn all over the world! If God blesses my dynasty, there will be no disaster for the Western barbarians to attack. One is to take the initiative in the hands of others; the other is that all the fertile land in the world has been taken by the barbarians, and the people of China can only guard the land of their ancestors. Industry, can it be boundless?"

"My dear fellows, the 'world' has changed! In the past, the small world of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was no more than 5000 miles long and 3000 miles across. The princes of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States conquered each other for hundreds of years. Now where is An?"

"And the situation of competition between countries has already appeared, but unfortunately no one in the government and the opposition can open their eyes to this world of great competition! ——This is a great change that has not been seen in a thousand years! The struggle for hegemony between great powers with a territory of ten thousand miles is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat! At this moment, guarding a corner, Gou An may be a hundred years old, and when your sons and daughters grow up, Shenzhou Lu Chen is afraid that he will not be a prophecy."

"How can I stay in trouble with my descendants? An can put my ancestor's great achievements in the mind of others? I ascended the throne at a young age, and I want to take this country and its subjects in this lifetime, and compete with other countries to divide the world. Earth, if you want me to shine brightly among the raging waves of the sea, in the grasslands and Gobi, wherever the sun and the moon shine, there is the land of China!"

"Therefore, the great righteousness in my heart is to bring the great righteousness of the Chinese clan with the great etiquette and the beauty of service to the top of the ten thousand clans in this world of great competition, and the rest are small; let Huaxia The righteousness of propriety and benevolence pervades the whole world, and the rest are small; let my descendants, the descendants of the emperor, and all the people of the world live in a world of great governance where the widows, loneliness, the disabled, and the sick are all supported, and the rest are all small! "

"Masters, can you understand what I want and what is righteousness? This time, I do not do anything for myself, and I will punish those who interfere with the country. In the future, I will not listen to my teachings and block my ambitions. , I will not let it go lightly again if my grand wish is fulfilled!"

　Note: The story of Wang Yongji happened when he was serving as the censor of Cao Jiang in the middle and late Wanli period. Because of the plot, it happened when he served as a push officer.What his mother originally said was: "There are stone tortoises for thousands of years, but there are no rivers for a hundred years."

　　Also: This speech has been revised several times, and it will not change, so let's go.
