Chapter 61 Argument
"Your Majesty asked me why Wang Lisong was arrested. It's very simple, because he had objections to the Chunwei Yijia that I drew up, and he didn't agree to review the papers according to my request." Gu Shihai sneered, and said, "Of course, I heard that in previous years he There are also objections, but in previous years, he always submitted a memorial and asked himself to withdraw from Chunwei's review. This year, he suddenly refused and insisted on participating in the review, making it difficult for the minister."

"As for Li Wenqing, he didn't know anything, and he was just talking nonsense in the court. So I reminded him to keep his mouth shut. If he didn't speak up, he wouldn't get His Majesty involved. Many things will not happen, and His Majesty can still be a happy emperor in the harem at this moment."

Hearing this, Ye Qinghuai suddenly asked: "Get involved? What does Mr. Gu Ge mean by this? Mr. Gu Ge thinks, should I stand and watch on the dry shore? Watching my forbidden army kill innocent people indiscriminately, and raise their knives to chop To my people?"

Gu Shihai sneered, raised his finger to the kneeling crowd, and said, "Killing innocent people indiscriminately? Your Majesty thinks these people are innocent? What they question is Dajing's entire system, and what they want to shake is the foundation of Dajing's country! Your Majesty also Do you think they are innocent?"

"Gu Ge's old words are exaggerated! They just want a fairness, a fairness, why did they go online so far?"

"Fair? Your Majesty was born rich and well-fed, but some people are born with nothing to eat. There is no fairness in this world! Fairness, only what we give them, nothing they can ask for!"

Ye Qinghuai was momentarily speechless by what he said.

"Your Majesty followed these people to rebel against the imperial court. Do you expect these scholars to expand the territory for His Majesty, or do you expect them to eliminate the bureaucracy? I told Your Majesty that once these people who have suffered from poverty and starvation since childhood sit in high positions, they will only They will search for people's wealth even more vigorously than current officials."

Ye Qinghuai interrupted Gu Shihai and said, "If that's the case, then it's not a human problem, but a system problem."

A firm light flashed in her eyes: "If it's a problem with people, I'll get rid of such people. If it's a problem with the system, I'll abolish the system. If it's a problem with the government, I'll revise the government. "

Gu Shihai seemed to be stunned for a moment, with a faint hatred in his eyes, he sneered and said, "Zhuzi is talking nonsense! The laws and regulations of the three provinces and six departments were hammered and hammered down by the ancestors in one dynasty. How can it be said that they can be changed?"

Ye Qinghuai lowered his eyes, and said in a deep thought: "The regulations set by the ancestors are naturally the golden rules at that time. But not all the words of the saints are universal. When children grow up, the clothes they wore when they were young are no longer It fits well, not to mention laws and regulations? When Emperor Shengzu founded the country, my registered population in Dajing was only 900 million, with 5000 million mu of arable land, but now there are more than [-] million registered population, [-] mu of arable land, and the establishment of the state capital department is also far away. It is more complicated than when the ancestors were. Today is different from the past. If the laws and regulations are still blindly conserving the foundation and copying the sages, it is like a seven-year-old child forced to wear three-year-old clothes."

Gu Shihai thought that Ye Qinghuai's words were just a moment of anger, but he didn't expect that she had thought so far and could make such an answer.He couldn't help being startled for a moment, then shook his head slightly, and murmured: "Sure enough, you're still childish."

Then, he looked at the crowd behind Ye Qinghuai and said, "Is your majesty's move today to pave the way for the imperial court to get rid of the old and reform?"

Ye Qinghuai also turned her head to look at the crowd behind her.

"No, I haven't thought that far, I just don't want to betray their trust. Moreover," Ye Qinghuai said with a firm expression, "No matter which dynasty or generation, what kind of cause and effect, the swords and guns in the hands of soldiers will never It should be directed at the unarmed public."

"Old Gu Ge, you are right. People are inherently unfair. But those in high positions also have to shoulder the corresponding responsibilities and pressure. As the emperor, I need to work hard and reflect on myself from time to time. If you relax for a moment, the rebel army may rush into the city and chop off your head, or you may be infamous for thousands of years in the annals of history. Gu Ge asked me why I rebelled, and what I did today was to avoid these two things happened."

Because she has experienced it herself.

Gu Shihai said: "What Your Majesty wants is a bright and harmonious court. It's a pity that when the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when people observe it, there will be no disciples."

Ye Qinghuai shook her head: "I don't want that kind of court. That kind of court doesn't exist. What I want is a poor man who has something to depend on, hard to help, and the hard worker to get something. Politicians have their own way of life. How can I not know the truth that when water is clear, there will be no fish? But," Ye Qinghuai changed his voice, and said sternly, "Even if the water can't be clear, it can't be muddy!"

Ye Qinghuai pointed to the crowd behind him, and said: "As long as the imperial court has a little conscience, these people will not gather here today. The people in my Dajing have always been submissive, if they were not forced to the point where they would really have no way to survive , they will not come to the front of the hall to make trouble. These students can gather here to beat the Dengwen drum, which means that the world's officials have no way out!"

Ye Qinghuai put down her hand, and said sharply, "Is Mr. Gu Ge satisfied with such an imperial court?"

Gu Shihai looked at Ye Qinghuai, with some disappointment in his eyes, he asked calmly, "Does Your Majesty have to stand on the side of the rioters?"

Ye Qinghuai also calmed down, she looked at Gu Shihai, and asked word by word: "Must Gu Ge stand opposite me?"

Gu Shihai's expression seemed to be shaken for a moment, but soon, it was covered by a self-deprecating smile, and it turned into that kind of eyes mixed with a little hatred and disdain.

"How does Your Majesty plan to deal with this matter?" He looked at the surrounding crowd and asked Ye Qinghuai.

"First, the Ministry of Punishment immediately releases the student from custody; second, Chunwei's grades are cancelled, and the subject will be retested; third, let Wang Lisong go to the court to make a statement, and the case will be retried; fourth, investigate the matter of the replacement of the prisoner by the third department." Ye Qinghuai was resolute. road.

Gu Shihai listened to them one by one, paused for a while, and suddenly laughed loudly: "Why bother, Your Majesty, it's better to dismiss the minister directly."

Ye Qinghuai did not speak, but stared seriously at the laughing Gu Shihai.

Gu Shihai looked at Ye Qinghuai's serious expression with some amusement, and asked: "I'm a little curious now, Your Majesty has nothing in his hands except the three thousand Zuo Yawei and the useless scholars behind you. Where did your Majesty come from?" Do you feel confident that I will cut off my arms and let His Majesty dispose of me?"

He squinted his eyes, looked at Ye Qinghuai, his eyes were as cold as frost, and asked: "Does Your Majesty have any capital to negotiate with the minister?"

Ye Qinghuai's expression sank, and she said, "I can make Gu Ge's daughter my queen."
