Chapter 652 Perfection
"Memorial? This memorandum is very good. It is well-founded and full of emotion. You can feel the author's anger when you listen to it. It also fully proves the freedom of speech in the Ming Empire. It also proves that His Majesty's speech is very smooth. Even This kind of insulting and mocking memorial can be delivered to the imperial court, which means that before His Majesty sees the memorial, no one has read this memorial except the author."

"Ah? Content? The content is also very good. Historically, officials have not always expressed their thoughts to the emperor. Some memorials are useful and some are useless. Your Majesty has the final say on whether they are useful or not, but it is very good. Anything, any memorial , should be sent to the emperor, the emperor has the right to make decisions about the affairs of the world, in order to avoid the abuse of power, all decision-making powers are limited, but the right to know must be there."

Listening to this bunch of nonsense, little Wanli felt that he was shooting himself in the foot, imitating Chen Mu's tone and interrupting: "Jing Haibo is setting an example, which fully proves what I said. what makes an extraordinary person."

"Okay, what I'm asking is your opinion on the memorial, and your opinion on this memorial is your own opinion."

Chen Mu also spoke at the court meeting before, but at this moment the courtiers looked at him a little strangely, as if they had changed from a normal person to an abnormal one.

Chen Mu ignored the surprised eyes of the courtiers, sighed softly, bowed and said: "Then I said it with Duoqing, and I don't have the literary talent of the courtiers. You listen to Chen's slanderous words patiently. It's useless."

"Zou Yuanbiao's memorandum is to criticize the first assistant. From the four aspects of official selection, local punishment, court opinion, and the people of the Yellow River as examples, the old Zhengge's ability is insufficient, but this statement is very far-fetched. How far-fetched is it? Mr. Zhang has already said it; moreover, I thought Zou Yuanbiao himself knew it was far-fetched, so he came up with the most important and most lethal statement at the end to condemn Mr. Ge from the moral point of view."

"I heard that Emperor Sejong often said that when the water is clear, there will be no fish. A person's talent and morality are two different things. Besides, the chief minister is not without morality, but just deprived of love. It is best to have both ability and morality." , but loyalty and filial piety are difficult to complete, and it is difficult to take care of the family if you live in the country, and the head of such a big empire is impeached because of whether he returns to his hometown to worship his deceased father, which in itself is a big joke!"

"The "Book of Filial Piety" has a saying in Kaiming Zongyi. The body and skin are accepted by parents, and they dare not damage them. The five gentlemen have learned it all, where did they learn it? What is the difference between offering sacrifices to the old father, returning to the hometown or offering sacrifices in Beijing? Serving the monarch and the world is more important than serving parents. Don’t they know? ?”

"If it is not necessary to judge the courtiers' talents by morality, filial piety is the first, but filial piety is based on the heart, regardless of the deeds. Can there be a filial son in the poor family? He can't eat enough, and he will starve to death if he doesn't work. Where to go? Keeping filial piety? All evil and adultery are the first, regardless of whether it is adultery or adultery, regardless of the deeds, regardless of the heart, no one is perfect in the world! Don't say that there is no perfect person in the world, just now that the world is going downhill, these five gentlemen plus ministers, The minister put the words in the court today, and none of the six people is perfect!"

Prostitution means greed and excess; prostitution is the prostitution of later generations.

Emperor Wanli's eyes widened. He knew that Chen Mu was not perfect. He knew it when he sent someone to Nanyang Wei to give gifts to Chen Mu's house a few days ago. Only now did Yan Qingyao know that there was a genuine wife in Tianjin, so he had to reissue a first-rank order to Yang Qingluan.

After issuing the orders of the two wives, the little emperor became more and more unhappy. All the families with orders in the court have a wife, so why do you have two wives?But there was nothing to do after all the papers were issued, and the eunuch Wang An just said that the Nanyang Weigang Chen Mansion was well furnished, so he simply ordered Jin Yiquan to move back to the Forbidden City to make up for the loss of issuing an extra document.

But at this time, Chen Mu said that the six people's opinions are not perfect, and this scolding was so happy that he brought himself to scold... The emperor's eyes widened, and his small hand rested on his chin, and he wanted to give Chen Mu a bow.

Ruthless, ruthless!
Zhang Han was sitting below and tilted his head slightly backwards, and he turned back just half way. He didn't expect Chen Mu to say this in the court hall. If there is really one of the five people who is neither greedy nor in and out of brothels, you are the only one. I admitted it myself, embarrassing or not, stupid or not?

"Speaking officers are in charge of the supervisory power, but what can be supervised is the official affairs of officials. Officials' filial piety and seduction are written in the law. Only the emperor has the final say in the world whether to seize or not. If your majesty says to seize, then take it, your majesty." If you don’t want to seize the elders, you must return to your hometown to observe the filial piety according to the system. What’s the point of discussing such a matter? If you really want to supervise morality, you might as well set up a department of morality and politics. "

"Now the officials who are supposed to supervise the official affairs of the officials are always staring at the officials' personal virtues, impeaching the ministers because of a star flying in the sky, saying that the court is going to be in trouble."

"It's been 2000 years since the "Spring and Autumn" records. It's 2000 years, everyone! Can't we change the term? Last year and the year before last, Manjaboyi and Burma perished one after another in two years. Annan was also conquered and became a vassal. Four chiefs in Lu and Borneo passed away, and four to five hundred chiefs on the island of Java have more than 300 million people, and as far as I know, fifty have died.”

"Do you know who the stars fly over to remind? People are tired of flying all over the sky, please show consideration for the stars!"

"Heavenly Kingdom, there are dozens of overseas vassals, and our fleet has sailed [-] miles away. The people in the land spanning thousands of miles are just waiting for food, just waiting for my heavenly dynasty to send a king to be the governor to help the people. Our court will Do this? Can you give a good start to other countries in the world that are still in ignorance, we are the most enlightened country in the history of mankind!"

"It's a small matter that was made so complicated by the meddling of someone with a heart. Your Majesty has said that the old man needs to be in court. Let the emperor take a look at the manuscript. It's fine to know the heart of the courtier. What else is there to discuss? If not, who wants to be the emperor, and decide whether to seize love or not?"

Lianzhu Pao's words made Chen Mu's mouth dry, and he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please play!"

The little emperor blinked. Chen Mu had heard this very happily, but he was a little bit confused when he said it too fast. He shook his head and stared confusedly: "Zhen Zhu, let's play."

"In order to quell this turmoil as soon as possible, I implore your Majesty to seriously consider this matter, and to issue an edict at the right time whether to seize love or not. No matter what the result is, this is His Majesty's power, and others should not discuss it any further. There are a few more The memorial above, uh... this is another performance from the minister, His Majesty will decide whether to accept it after listening to it."

Wanli also found that he was a little confused when he answered "I agree, let's play" just now, and hurriedly said: "Well, I agree with this, you can talk about the next part first."

"These five ministers think they are guilty. First of all, they don't care whether His Majesty agrees or not, and they oppose seduction. This is one of them. What's more important is that they only have ancestors' etiquette in their eyes. The New Deal of the Wanli Dynasty has nothing to do with them; The fiscal deficit has been in the red for many years, and my late emperor was such a benevolent monarch that he was reluctant to eat a piece of donkey intestines, and now the country's economy and the livelihood of the people in the world have nothing to do with them."

"Then what's the use of the court raising them?"

"I think we can set a precedent. Hitting the court stick is not only useless, but also encourages this bad atmosphere. If you don't kill him, you will still hate your majesty. If you write a book later, it will have a bad influence on future generations. If it doesn't work, just shoot it outside the Meridian Gate kill it."

As soon as these words came out, there was a "wow" in the hall, and Chen Mu breathed a long sigh of relief. The ladder has been set up, and the rest depends on how the emperor plays.

"Jing Haibo, what you say is reasonable..." The little emperor stepped down from the dragon chair with a serious expression, walked up to the Queen Mother Li who was hanging down the curtain, and said something in a low voice. : "Jing Haibo's words are justified, but the emperor's heart is kind. He is not a violent monarch, and even the court staff is reluctant. I feel that in recent years, the Hanlin and officials have lacked experience, and let them make meritorious deeds. Does Jing Haibo know where overseas can directly Is there a vacancy in the official position that governs the region?"

Chen Mu frowned and sucked his lips on purpose, and said, "Yes! There are vacancies everywhere in North America! But... can they do it?"

"It can be done! Bo Jing Haibo, don't underestimate the officials. Zhuang Yigong Wang Hong, who fought to kill Ma Shun after the civil engineering change, was also an officer, but he was able to save the building in a crisis. Could it be that my Wanli Dynasty, Can't the speaker do it?"

The little emperor showed a look of satisfaction, and concluded: "After coming down to court, Bo Jinghai went to the Ministry of Officials to discuss with Zhang Qing what position they are in. The teacher is in mourning at the mansion, so don't bother him, and the Ministry of Officials will send him directly to the palace. "

After all, without waiting for the courtiers to respond, Wanli raised his head, and the eunuch got a signal and sang loudly: "Retire!"

The exhausted officials slowly dispersed, and no one dared to join Chen Mu. The two small fists in the big sleeves of Emperor Wanli, who was still sitting on the dragon chair and enjoying the pleasure of being in charge of the government, slammed together fiercely.

It was the first time to go to court and take charge of the government, a complete success!
　Good morning!
