Zhu Biao immediately raised his head and looked at Han Du with burning eyes.
When Han Du saw it, he immediately said with an example: "Your Highness is used to eating delicacies from mountains and seas, how can he still eat simple meals?"
Zhu Biao frowned, not knowing why Han Du asked this. But he still lowered his head, thought carefully, and finally shook his head at Han Du.
Indeed, Zhu Biao thought that he could not do it. Zhu Biao naturally did not have the opportunity to eat simple meals on weekdays, but he was here in Han Du and really encountered Han Du when he was eating. According to Han Du, that is
I eat too much meat, so I need to eat some of these things to relieve the greasiness.
But Zhu Biao tried it, but he really couldn't eat it. Han Du did not force Zhu Biao to eat, but started eating on his own.
"That's right." Han Du sighed slightly and continued: "In the former Song Dynasty, the scholar-bureaucrats were so beautiful. They could share the world with the emperor, receive high salaries, travel in the mountains, play in the water, and even
You can have sex with prostitutes, but you can't get the punishment of a doctor. No matter it's corruption or bribery, no one will be punished with death. At most, they will be exiled or dismissed from office."
"Let me ask, with such a lesson learned, which scholar-official doesn't want to go back to the glorious days? Which one doesn't want to turn the Ming Dynasty into the Song Dynasty?"
Zhu Biao listened, was silent for a moment, and suddenly took a deep breath and said: "But among the gentlemen in Gu, they all said that the Song Dynasty was enlightened and even taught the kings, and the kings would bend over and listen to him."
Han Du sneered, "People always have their own opinions. All the teachers of emperors in the past were scholar-bureaucrats. Of course, they would spare no effort to praise them for things that were beneficial to them. His Highness thought that this kind of behavior was not the way to bend over and listen to people.
Is it because he wants to make the emperor feel awe of his master through subtle influence? In the long run, if one day such an emperor encounters something that is beneficial to the scholar-bureaucrats but harmful to the country and the country, what does His Highness think he should do?
choose?"
Han Du stared at Zhu Biao closely, waiting for his answer.
Zhu Biao fell into deep thought because of Han Du's words, "It is harmful to the scholar-bureaucrats but beneficial to the country and the country. How should we choose such a thing?" Zhu Biao had never encountered such a problem before.
, all solved by relying on the knowledge learned and the experience imparted by my husband and father.
Worried about Han Du's current problems, he chose to put the experience taught to him by the gentlemen against the country and the country and let him choose.
After Zhu Biao was silent for a moment, he looked up at Han Du and said solemnly: "Even if it is harmful to scholar-bureaucrats, as long as it is harmful to Jiang
Gu will do whatever is beneficial to the country, the country, and the country. If there is no country, the country, the country, and the country, where will the scholar-bureaucrats come from?"
Han Du suddenly showed a satisfied smile and gestured with his thumb towards Zhu Biao, "His Highness is indeed not a mortal."
Zhu Biao rolled his eyes at Han Du. Han Du's problem seemed difficult to decide, but when you think about it clearly, it is very simple. Just choose the side that is beneficial to you. Since the former Song Dynasty has been destroyed for more than a hundred years, there are still people who still remember it.
I miss the early days. To put it bluntly, isn't it because the pre-Song Dynasty was the most beneficial to the scholar-officials? Since the scholar-officials can desperately choose the side that is beneficial to them, why can't Zhu Biao choose?
"If Gu Ruo can't even distinguish the importance of this, wouldn't it mean that he has been the prince for so many years in vain?"
Han Du immediately smiled and nodded in agreement. Zhu Biao still had this wisdom after overseeing the country's governance for so many years. It seemed that he was overly concerned.
However, Zhu Biao then frowned and asked with some doubts: "But it is easy for Gu to choose, but it is difficult to solve this hidden danger! You always have too many evil ideas, is there any way? You can't leave this hidden danger to Gu.
Let the descendants deal with it!"
Han Du smiled and said, "Then I will ask His Highness another question."
"Say." Zhu Biao pretended to be listening attentively and sat upright facing Han Du.
"During the Yuan Dynasty, did your Highness ever hear of those scholar-bureaucrats clamoring to share the world with the emperor?" Han Du said with a meaningful smile.
After Zhu Biao heard this, he was stunned. After thinking for a moment, he exclaimed: "Why, why is this? It stands to reason that the Song Dynasty was not long dead, and it was the time when the scholar-bureaucrats missed the previous dynasty the most!
But, why doesn’t anyone dare to make such a request?”
Han Du took a sip of tea and said lightly: "Because the neck is not as hard as a steel knife!"
Seeing that Zhu Biao was stunned, Han Du continued: "Why emperors share the world with scholar-bureaucrats is actually a habit. However, the former Yuan Dynasty would not be accustomed to these scholar-bureaucrats like the emperor of the former Song Dynasty. In the eyes of the former Yuan Dynasty, scholar-bureaucrats should
Officials, they give salaries and fair trade. If you don't want to do it, just tell the scholar-bureaucrats to get out. If you still dare to be dissatisfied and want to share the world with the emperor, then kill them directly with a steel knife. Kill them until their heads are rolling, and you will dare to say this
Kill everyone who spoke, so of course no one would dare to do this.
Think about it."
"Kill them all?" Zhu Biao was stunned and looked at Han Du in a daze. After a while, he came back to his senses and asked hesitantly: "How many people should be killed? Is it too cruel?"
Han Du blew into the tea and said calmly: "There is nothing cruel. People who miss the common world between scholar-bureaucrats and emperors are basically people with extremely selfish desires. One hundred of such people are corrupt officials.
, killing them would not be considered unjust. But not killing them would be cruel to the people. Anyway, judging from the experience of Qian Yuan, this method is quite good and there are no problems."
Seeing the change in Zhu Biao's face, it was obvious that he still couldn't bear it. After all, these people were said to be corrupt officials, but as long as they were not truly corrupt, they did not violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty. However, Han Du opened his mouth and killed him directly, which made Zhu Biao feel a little uncomfortable.
adapt.
When Han Du saw it, he smiled relaxedly and said: "Your Highness, there is no need to worry. In fact, the Emperor has already solved most of this problem for Your Highness. The Emperor has dealt with a lot of corrupt officials in recent years, and he has indirectly cleaned up some of them."
But I didn’t expect that there would be such a person above the court.”
"You mean, Cheng Ji is this kind of person?" Zhu Biao then asked.
Han Du nodded slowly and said: "It's almost the same."
"Hmph, how can such a traitor stand proudly in the court? I will go to the palace tomorrow to ask my father to restore your title." Zhu Biao said angrily.
"No, please don't, Your Highness!" Han Du quickly stretched out his hand to hold Zhu Biao's arm, as if he was afraid that he would run away.
Zhu Biao let Han Du pull him, frowned and asked: "Why? Since they have ulterior motives to impeach you, isn't the impeachment of you targeting Gu? Why can't Gu enter the palace to ask for help from his father?"
Seeing that Zhu Biao didn't have the urge to stand up immediately, Han Du smiled and said: "Your Highness thinks that I can see through things, but the Emperor can't understand it?"
Zhu Biao frowned slightly. He admired his father very much. The one he admired most in his heart was his father. Even Han Du was worse than him. As Han Du reminded, since Han Du has
If you can understand things clearly, how can your father not be able to understand them?
But since the father knew the sinister intentions of those people, why did he let Han Du seize the title? In this way, wouldn't it be in line with those people's wishes?
"You, you mean" Zhu Biaonao
A flash of inspiration occurred in the sea, and I suddenly thought of it.
Han Du smiled and nodded, "At first, I didn't understand why the emperor would seize my title without mercy. But after listening to His Highness's words, I understood. His Highness's guess was correct. The Emperor wanted exactly what he wanted.
Lure the snake out of its hole. Cheng Ji is just a seventh-grade censor and a pawn. There must be someone more powerful than him above the court. Such people hide in the court, just like poisonous snakes. You
You don't know when he will jump out and bite you. If the emperor wants these people to jump out on his own initiative, the best way is to follow their wishes and take away me, the Marquis. A title of Marquis of Chuan Guo is enough for
They should be celebrating together."
Han Du said with a smile. He was not sad at all because he was deprived of his title. Instead, he looked like he was ready to watch the show.
"Huh!" After finally understanding what was going on, Zhu Biao let out a long breath. At the same time, he couldn't help but admire his father. A sudden title seizure had such a deep intention hidden in it. If it weren't for Han Du's unique vision.
, I’m afraid he might not know what happened until everything is over. And if he hadn’t told Han Du what happened in the court, Han Du might not have been able to think of it.
Zhu Biao couldn't help but look at Han Du twice, and said apologetically: "But this has wronged you and caused you to lose your title. But don't worry, I will definitely compensate you in the future."
When Han Du saw Zhu Biao mentioning this issue again, he had no choice but to say again: "Your Highness, don't worry, I'm really fine. To be honest, I prefer to teach those students in the academy than to get a title or be an official."
"Yes, how can a momentary glory compare to the knowledge that will shine through the ages? Hahaha" Zhu Biao saw that Han Du really wasn't worried about it, and he immediately laughed heartily in agreement.
Listening to Zhu Biao's words, Han Du's heart actually moved slightly, and he felt that he should really put more thought into the academy. Since he established the academy, he had focused on the academy at first, but as things started to increase,
, he abandoned the academy.
Looking back now, I have indeed done too little for the academy. Perhaps, taking advantage of the fact that I have no official position and no position, it may not be a bad thing to go to the academy and teach peacefully.
Seeing the change in Han Du's expression, Zhu Biao asked blankly: "You can't tell the truth, are you? Do you really want to go to the academy to teach?"
Han Du smiled and spread his hands and said, "Why not? While I still have time, there is nothing wrong with teaching in the academy."
