back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 277
Seeing that none of the civil and military officials objected, Lu Chengqi said, "Since no one objects, let's do it this way!"

Regarding shipbuilding, none of the civil and military officials present dared to pat their chests and say that they could do it. In that case, let's throw this hot potato to the Royal University.This kind of lowly work is not done by officials and gentlemen like them.

In the Daqing Palace, most of the civil and military officials have such thoughts.Seeing the silence, Lu Chengqi thought that there was nothing else to do, so he said directly: "If you have nothing to say, then retreat!"

As soon as the words fell, Li Ran, the censor Zhongcheng, came out, holding the court wat, and said in a serious manner: "Your Majesty, I have something important to announce."

Seeing this stubborn old man, Lu Chengqi reflexively wanted to avoid him.This person doesn't look very good, once he finds out the truth, he will be too annoying.The case of Huang Xishi, former minister of the Ministry of Industry, managed to make these speech officials refrain. Unexpectedly, the good times did not last long. During this period of time, Yushitai seemed to be active again.Especially Li Ran, the censor Zhongcheng, who had lost the battle earlier, was thinking about how to get back his position!
According to Li Ran's mind, apart from the emperor, there was no official in the Dashun court that he dared not touch.This point is a bit similar to the Supervision Department.It's just that the Supervision Department has the right to investigate any official, but it has no power to arrest any official without authorization.To put it bluntly, the Supervision Department is just Lu Chengqi's ears and eyes, they can only pass on information to Lu Chengqi.It is the brain that really determines the fate of an official.This brain is naturally Lu Chengqi.

But Yushitai is not the case. They have had a strong status since ancient times and dare to impeach any official except the emperor.What's more, it's as if you don't want your life, you will die at every turn, it's either you die or I live, which makes the whole court panic.

It's just that the power of life and death is still in the hands of the emperor.Even if the official evidence is convincing, if the emperor doesn't want the official to be taken down, he will still be relegated lightly and punished with a small salary.This has to be said to be a typical representative of the ancient rule of man. Many things depend on whether a king is wise or not.

However, most people who have tasted such power will not let it escape from their control.Because of the beauty of power, only those who have truly mastered it can understand that it is more addictive than anything else!

But this person in front of him really gave Lu Chengqi a headache. Perhaps the officials are also a system to check and balance the emperor. Although this kind of restraint is nothing, it can invisibly warn the emperor that if he insists on going his own way, it may cause irreversible consequences.So, as soon as Li Ran, the censor Zhongcheng, came out, Lu Chengqi knew that something was going to happen.

Although I feel helpless in my heart, I can't let people talk, right?What's more, this person is a speech officer and has the right to monitor the affairs of the world.Lu Chengqi said helplessly: "Zunzau..."

Pretending not to hear the impatience in Lu Chengqi's words, Li Ran said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I saw an arrogant scholar the day before yesterday. He didn't have the slightest fame, but he used rumors to confuse the Holy Majesty. He should be punished!"

When Lu Chengqi heard this, he felt that Li Ran was making a fuss out of a molehill.Lu Chengqi understood the person he was talking about, isn't it Zhang Zai!Zhang Zai had an epiphany, Lu Chengqi saw it, what could be wrong?Li Ran had never seen a sage before, so he said that there are no sages in this world, which is really absurd!
Lu Chengqi didn't bother to fight with him anymore, and said directly: "Okay, okay. I know that Zhang Zai didn't have any fame and was sent to prison. But his intentions were good. The criminals are about to hit his home. It is reasonable for them to set up a township regiment to help the imperial court and border troops. However, they were smeared as rebels and left a record. These things, I think, are just small things .Besides, Zhang Zai does have real talent and learning. He was the talent that Fan Xiang liked in the late emperor's time. How could he be so bad?"

Li Ran said disapprovingly: "Your Majesty was bewitched by him, so he spoke for him. This person has sinister intentions and deliberately chose to show his talents in front of Your Majesty. If Your Majesty reuses this person, or even this person's theory, it may cause a catastrophe!"

Lu Chengqi was angry. What kind of person is Zhang Zai? Based on the history he knows, he is a great Confucian, comparable to the great talents of ancient sages!Li Ran denies other people's theories just because he has no fame. Isn't this judging people by their appearance!

Thinking of this, Lu Chengqi said in a cold voice: "I heard from Zhang Zai that the purpose of his theory is to 'establish a heart for the world, establish a life for the people, inherit the knowledge of the past, and create peace for the world'. Li Qing, I will Let me ask you, do you think you have such a mind! Other people’s theories advocate applying the world and applying what you have learned. When did the classics and historical books you have learned come into use? It’s not what I said, you should I also know how much weight I have. Is your ability really worthy of your official position and salary! I dare say that if Zhang Zai becomes an official in the court, he will definitely be much better than you! It's a pity that his ambition is not here, and he is more What you care about is passing on career and teaching, and being a contemporary Confucius! Can you let go of your official positions and learn from him? I’m afraid no one will, right? If that’s the case, Li Ran, what qualifications do you have to talk about others?”

Faced with Lu Chengqi's aggressive questioning, Li Ran was taken aback. He was just hearing the story and trying to save some face for the previous incident.But he didn't expect that the little emperor would be so excited that he almost pointed at his nose and scolded him.

Li Ran knew that there might be people like Zhang Zai in the world, but Li Ran didn't think that Zhang Zai would be that kind of person.If Li Ran had a high EQ, he should have given up at this moment, or give the little emperor and himself a step down, and don't make such a fuss.

However, Li Ran's brain is single-minded, and he never thinks that he is wrong when he is sure of things. He immediately contradicted Lu Chengqi and said, "Your Majesty, I don't believe that this person has real talents. If this person really has real talents, The minister is willing to be punished!"

Lu Chengqi sneered and said, "How do you judge whether someone has real talents and learning? Just like the imperial examination, the test of classics, justice and policy theory? Even so, I believe that Zhang Zai will definitely be able to do it! You are reading the books of sages, and he is also reading the books of sages." Book, who is worse than whom?"

Li Ran said without flinching: "I want to argue with him face to face!"

Lu Chengqi thought about it again, this is also a good way, while weakening Yushitai's prestige, it can also promote the purpose of Guan Xue and reverse the world's prejudice against Guan Xue.Thinking of this, Lu Chengqi immediately responded: "Once a word is spoken, it is hard to follow. Three days later, we will hold a debate in the Imperial College, and I will go to watch it at that time. The so-called justice is in the heart, whose theory is good, the Imperial College The superintendent will judge."

Debating Taoism originated from Tanxuan in the Jin Dynasty. After hundreds of years of evolution, it has gradually become people holding two different views. The form and content of the debates held to prove that they are correct are very close to the debates of later generations. It's over.
