Chapter 1519 Open the skylight and say something bright
Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger!
This sentence will never go out of style in feudal society.
However, Zhao Kai actually said such profound words today, which shows that this time the emperor did not simply want to punish them.
Although they all knew that Zhao Kai could not really kill them, but who knew whether the emperor had such thoughts? If the emperor had such thoughts, it would be a very scary thing!
Including Zheng Yi, all five of them were sweating profusely, and they could only feel the cold wind blowing behind them.
Ma Qiao was the only one standing at the edge, yawning and looking quite bored. Apart from Meimei, this guy really had no one who could scare him.
Zhao Kai glanced at them slightly, shook his head with a smile and said: "Stop saying such hypocritical words, you all know that I have to rely on you now, how dare I kill you, and you are not incompetent, on the contrary, you
He is very capable, but if this person is too capable, he will have too many things on his mind, which may not be a good thing."
It seemed that he was really angry this time.
Li Qi lowered his head and frowned.
Qin Hui and others were also silent, feeling even more regretful in their hearts.
They were so clever that they were misled by their cleverness!
Zhao Kai stopped clicking, smiled softly, walked around them, and continued walking towards the room.
"emperor."
Several people quickly stepped forward to stop Zhao Kai.
Zhao Kai glanced at them, waved his hand and said: "You guys, get out of the way. I have my own rules. I live in the house you built every day and I have never been afraid."
As he said that, he bypassed Li Qi and the others again and came to the front of the dilapidated house. Two guards followed closely. A follower behind him quickly handed over three lit incense sticks. Zhao Kai held the incense sticks in front of the door.
Bowed three times, put three sticks of incense in front of the door, looked up at the house, shook his head with a smile, turned to Li Qi and the others and said: "Since this house cannot be inhabited, my dear friends will feel aggrieved.
Let me go and sit in the pavilion for a while."
As he spoke, he walked towards the pavilion on the side. Li Qi, Qin Hui and others looked at each other and then followed closely.
When they came to the pavilion, Zhao Kai sat down, while Li Qi and others stood respectfully in the pavilion. After all, there were only four stone benches in the pavilion. There were five of them, and they were all central ministers. Who would let them
Standing was not appropriate, so we all chose to stand with a tacit understanding.
Zhao Kai also understood, so he did not let them sit down, and said: "Actually, it is beyond my expectation that you can build it like this. Regardless, you still worked together to complete the task I assigned you, although the results were somewhat unsatisfactory.
It's satisfactory, but you at least tried your best, and I'm very pleased. If you all work on your own, it's impossible to build this house. I don't want to interfere with what you eat and wear every day. I just hope that you are building it.
When we stay in this room, we can have the same goal."
"I respectfully abide by the Emperor's teachings."
The five people said in unison again.
"I also keep your teachings in mind."
Zhao Kai chuckled, suddenly looked around, and said: "Today our monarchs and ministers are not sitting under the eaves, so let's open the skylight and talk openly. In fact, I have long wanted to have a frank talk with you, but I have always felt that it is not possible.
It won’t be time, but today, I feel it is necessary.”
Everyone knew that the room he was talking about actually referred to the Song Dynasty, but no one wanted to talk openly and honestly with the emperor. The emperor would only tell one kind of person his thoughts, and that was the dead.
Although this is not the case yet, it is a not-so-good sign.
Several people cheered up one after another. Even Li Qi did not dare to talk nonsense. Although he and Zhao Kai had a good personal relationship, after all, the monarch and his ministers still had other interests.
Zhao Kai glanced at them with both eyes, then looked down the mountain, and said: "The quarrel outside is in full swing now, and debates of all sizes are going on one after another. You should all know that, but I don't know what you think about this matter."
view?"
Sure enough, it was for this reason.
Li Qi, Qin Hui, Li Gang, and Mao Shu all felt better about Alexander, while Zheng Yi only felt a little more relaxed.
Zhao Kai looked at Qin Hui and said, "Qin Shaozai, you go ahead."
Qin Hui hesitated for a moment and then said: "Reporting to the emperor, although this kind of debate conference can form a kind of competition to promote the progress of various schools of thought, it will also affect the people, thereby making it more difficult for the court to manage the people. Among them, there are some benefits
No one dares to make random judgments."
Zhao Kai nodded and asked Li Qi: "What do you think, Privy Council?"
Li Qi replied: "Wei Chen and Qin Shaozai think alike. Everything has two sides. As for good or bad, it depends on which aspect you look at it."
Zhao Kai then said to Li Gang and Mao Shu: "You two must have the same answer."
Li and Mao nodded slightly.
Now that the emperor is serious about it, how dare they talk nonsense.
Zhao Kai suddenly smiled and said: "Actually, I think so too, but I am also very confused whether to choose progress or to take things easy. The four schools of Law, Taoism, Confucianism and Mohism have always been fighting endlessly, but
Since the Han Dynasty, such large-scale debates have rarely occurred. Why? Because a country has only one monarch and only one court, so there can only be one orthodox thought.
Depose hundreds of schools of thought and respect only Confucianism. The key to this sentence is not whether the last word is Confucianism, but the word "exclusively respect". Confucianism can be replaced by Mohism or Legalism. This
It can be changed, but supremacy cannot be changed. If the four schools go hand in hand and the court is divided into four schools, then every time I put forward an idea, I will have different opinions, because these four schools are completely different in many aspects.
On the contrary, it will eventually lead to the country being torn apart and unable to unify its thoughts, so how can I govern the world?"
Everyone listened in silence, but Qin Hui was secretly happy. From Zhao Kai's words, it was obvious that he wanted to ensure the status of Confucianism, so his chances of winning would undoubtedly be greatly increased.
Unexpectedly, as soon as this idea came to him, Zhao Kai smiled and said: "Qin Shaozai, you must be very happy to hear what I said."
It was really frank! This time Qin Hui was really frightened. His legs softened and he almost knelt on the ground. He said in a trembling voice: "Wei Chen--Wei Chen---." He stuttered, and it seemed that he was completely
Panic.
Zhao Kai raised his hand and said: "You don't need to explain. In fact, I know very well what you are thinking. In some aspects, I can pretend to be confused. After all, you are still thinking about my Song Dynasty, or are you thinking about it?"
Put the Song Dynasty first, but the foundation of a country cannot be shaken. If you want to separate this foundation for your own interests, then I will have to do something I don’t want to do."
This is the rhythm of body and head in different places.
This time they really violated the emperor's taboo. Why were there so many literary inquisitions in ancient times? The root cause is thought. Thoughts must be unified, whether it is Confucianism or Legalism, but they must be unified.
Otherwise, it will directly threaten the emperor's dominance. This is beyond doubt. To put it simply, how can an emperor allow his country to become a multi-party ruling system? Qin Shihuang's burning of books and humiliation of Confucians is very good.
This has to be explained.
Therefore, Zhao Kai was definitely not joking with them this time, but was very serious.
It was Mr. Cai who saw it more profoundly! Li Qi secretly admired him. Cai Jing mentioned to him more than once that you can promote Mohism and Legalism, but you must not shake the foundation of Confucianism because of this. This is a very important thing.
It is a dangerous thing, so nowadays the Times Weekly of the Song Dynasty only places Mohism and Legalism in a position of supporting Confucianism, but even so, Confucian scholars cannot tolerate it.
Li Qi, Li Gang, and Mao Shu advocated the reform of the imperial examination, which was obviously to push other schools of thought onto the political stage in order to consolidate their own status. Qin Hui's desperate protection of Confucianism was also based on his own political status. However, such a situation
Come, the court will definitely be divided into several factions. It won't be long before the debate in Xiangguo Temple will take place in the main hall. Then the emperor will stop doing things every day and just listen to their debates.
Is it morality, law, or science?
This is difficult to explain clearly. There are still many differences between morality and law, benevolence and legal system.
Hearing this, Li Qi became confused. He couldn't guess what Zhao Kai was thinking. If Zhao Kai insisted on deposing all schools of thought and only respecting Confucianism, he could just lean towards Qin Hui and give him a hint.
policy, then they will definitely not think too much about it and just do whatever they should do.
However, judging from Zhao Kai's tone towards Qin Hui, it seems that he is not very satisfied with Qin Hui's approach. Is it a matter of whether he only respects Confucianism or a hundred schools of thought? Opening the skylight and speaking out makes people feel like they are in a fog.
In fact, let alone Li Qi, Qin Hui and the others were also like monk Erzhang, confused, and Zhao Kai's words and actions seemed to be somewhat contradictory.
Zhao Kai saw that they were all silent, and he laughed and said: "Why don't you talk anymore? Aren't you usually very good at talking about big principles and small principles, and they are all accompanied by factual basis, and they are all spoken out of the mouth.
.”
Fuck! You are ready to chop off our heads, how dare we speak? If we say something wrong, don’t we give you a chance to use the topic? These five people are smart people, they know when to say what to say, and they usually enter
, the emperor retreated, now the emperor is about to advance, they must retreat, they said in unison: "I am ashamed, I have betrayed the grace of God, and I ask the emperor to punish me."
Zhao Kai waved his hand and said: "I just said it, let's leave such hypocritical words to tomorrow."
Sweat! Then we have to survive until tomorrow! Li Qi and the others began to remain silent again, as if we can only give you these false words now. If you don't like to hear them, then we won't say them.
"It seems that you have nothing else to say except these words." Zhao Kai shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Well, you are usually the ones talking. I listen, so I will say a few more words today.
