For a moment, Xie Jin felt a chill on his back, as if he was being stared at by a ghost.
He quickly took two steps away, preparing his words in his mind.
"I wonder if you have thought of this. Is this the only thing that the emperor is talking about when he summons us to discuss things?" Xie Jin looked at everyone, "What Prince Yan said seems to be this, but it is really limited to this."
About this matter?"
Xie Jin looked at Zhu Yunxi again, "In my opinion, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is also the overall situation!"
Zhu Yunxi looked appreciative and nodded to indicate to the other party to continue.
"You may not have noticed, but the most important point His Royal Highness said is that you cannot wrong others in the name of good!" Xie Jin thought as he said, "It's like building a road, it benefits future generations and is a blessing for hundreds of years.
It benefits the north and the south and is beneficial to people's livelihood."
"But it is very good, but in the hearts of the people who suffer, it is not good! Let me use another metaphor, let's talk about the Grand Canal. Later generations commented that the sin is in the present, but the merit is in the future. Because its benefits are not just one or two days.
You can see it.”
"Road construction is a long-term and complicated project, which involves the vital interests of many people. It is unfair to wrong others for doing good things!"
"To extend it further, we live at the heights of the temple. If we govern the world from this point of view, will all the officials in the world be so eager for quick success and instant benefits?"
"Then when the time comes, won't there be a lot of things like, I'm doing it for you, so you have to suffer, and the court is doing good for the vast majority of the people, but a small number of people have to suffer. Will there be a lot of people, under this guise, under the guise of this?
They harm the people under the guise of being fair and aboveboard, but the people still have no way to appeal and no place to reason."
"His Royal Highness Prince Yan seems to be talking about this matter, but in fact he is talking about the atmosphere of the officialdom and the attitude of those who serve as officials in governing!"
"Just as the ancients said, don't take small evils for granted. Officials should not be too motivated. However, if small evils are not taken seriously, they will become big evils sooner or later!"
Hearing this, everyone had different expressions.
Zhu Gaochi sighed in his heart, "Lao Jie is still reliable!"
As he said that, he glanced at Jie Jin a few times and said to himself, "That's it, I'll make arrangements for the evening, buddy!"
"But!" Xie Jin suddenly changed the topic, "Actually, what you adults said makes sense. It is said that kindness does not control the army. What we officials consider is the overall situation of the world. Anything is trivial compared with the Ming Dynasty's ten thousand years of foundation.
If you love the people, you cannot pamper them, otherwise there will be no king, ministers, fathers and sons in the world, and everything will be in chaos!"
"You...fuck you!" Zhu Gaochi cursed in his heart.
"As the saying goes, there is no rule without rules. We all know that there is no absolute fairness in this world. Trying to maintain fairness for most people is fairness. The interests of some people will have to give in to the interests of the majority. This is
It’s the way of heaven!”
"Where the hell are you from?" Zhu Gaochi asked in his heart, "Both sides are not offended?"
"I just talked about Prince Yan's intentions, but I haven't mentioned the emperor's intentions yet!" Xie Jin cleared his throat lightly and continued, "Governing a country means that there are many people talking. Principles are not dead, people are alive, so it is inevitable
I don’t agree. Your Majesty summoned everyone here not to decide the winner, nor to decide who is right!"
"But let us all know, know, and understand. It is difficult to govern the country, but it is also difficult for the people. It is difficult to do things, and it is even harder to do good things. We cannot harm the interests of the people because of the interests of the court, but we cannot take the interests of the people too seriously.
, and harm the overall situation!”
"This is why we are in a high position! Anyone can do things! Just choose the right person to do things. But how to face the people in the world is the key. It is impossible to be perfect, but we must try our best to do it.
As perfect as it gets.”
After some words, everyone pondered.
But Zhu Yunxi touched his palms and praised softly, saying, "Well said!"
Xie Jin's words transcended the truths stated by both sides, and were tantamount to dialectically explaining the pros and cons of things.
"Thankfully you made it clear, otherwise the readers of those handsome and tough men who covered the sky with one hand and a cloud-piercing arrow and thousands of troops came to meet each other in the 800-round Valentine's Day battle last night, bravely broke into the enemy camp, and killed the enemy to pieces.
, talk about water again!”
Zhu Yunxi looked at his ministers and said, "Everyone, what Qing Xie Ai said is exactly what I want to say!"
As he spoke, he stood up and walked back and forth with his hands behind his back.
"The matter is not a big deal, nor is it a big case. But where is the difficulty? The difficulty lies in how to deal with it from me, the emperor, to you, to the officials below." After speaking, Zhu Yunxi sighed, "Actually, I am most worried about
Just what Hong Xi said, it is possible that in the future the government will use various fair and aboveboard banners to harm the interests of innocent people!"
"Since then, the court has done the work, but it has also suffered the infamy! What Hong Xi said to bypass it seems to me to be motivated, but it does respect the people."
"If every family in the court respects it, then thousands of families in the court will naturally respect it even more!"
As he spoke, he sighed.
After thinking for a while, he continued, "In the Xuzhou land occupation case, the government was at fault. It is the people's business if they don't move, but you can't occupy other people's land, injure them, and even tear down their houses just because they don't move!"
"Publish the decree, those who beat people will be arrested and punished according to the law, and whoever instigates them will also be arrested and punished according to the law. They are willing to accept compensation for their houses and money from the Xuzhou government. The court will not provide this money, so let the instigators of the beatings pay.
.”
"If they don't want to accept money, then restore their property to its original state, without missing a single plant or tree."
"In the final analysis, the root cause of this matter is that the government is too high-minded and does not take the common people seriously. As Hong Xi said, they think that they can be unscrupulous because of their righteousness."
"Oh, actually I'm a little scared when I think about it! This is just for hurting people. If the people resist and a few are killed, how will the Xuzhou Mansion end?"
"Then this way...?" Lian Zining asked, "Also...?"ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ
"Continue to practice!" Zhu Yunxi turned around and said with a smile, "I just said that the government did not take the people seriously. If I were the magistrate of Xuzhou, I would go directly to the people's homes. Sincerity will lead to gold and stone! I'm not afraid of trouble.
There’s always a way!”
"Oh, by the way!" Zhu Yunxi said again, "That Zeng... Zeng... from Xuzhou..."
"Zeng Bing!" Xie Jin said.
"Yes, he is willing to help the people. I think he is a conscientious person!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
"This man was honest and diligent when he was an official!" Bao Zhao said, "He is upright, but he is a bit rigid!"
"Yeah!" Zhu Yunxi nodded and said, "Road construction is not a matter of one or two days. In the future, there will be more things like this, occupying land, and so on. Ask Zeng Bing, how is his health? If he can still
Use it to serve as a counselor at the Imperial Envoy’s headquarters!"
As he spoke, Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "He has prestige in Xuzhou. With him in the forefront, everything can be done with twice the result with half the effort!"
"The Emperor's Holy Ming!"
In fact, Zhu Yunxi avoided the serious issue and took it lightly.
He didn't say whether he wanted to go around it, but he said that both local officials and court officials should learn to respect the private property of the people.
But while respecting and being reasonable, we should also do things well, that is, fix the roads.
In other words, he has pushed the problem back to the local government.
From the perspective of a minister, it is difficult.
But from the king's point of view, I raise you to do things, not to cause trouble for me. Since you are officials, you don't have to wait for me, the emperor, to solve everything.
For a zz creature like the emperor, double standards are instinctive.
~~
When the meeting ended, the sky was already dark.
The ministers with different colors walked towards the outside of the palace. When they reached the Meridian Gate, they were all stunned.
The former King of Zhou Dynasty Zhu Zhu, dressed in commoner clothes, came out of a carriage and stood at the gate of the palace with his head lowered.
"Fifth Uncle!" Zhu Gaochi hurriedly stepped forward, "Why are you here?"
"I'm here to see the emperor!" Zhu Zhu looked at the people around him, "I'm here to apologize!"
Suddenly, Zhu Gaochi had a bad premonition.
He is not here to plead guilty, he is here to rebel!
He is here to give the emperor and others a clue!
