Lin Jue glanced at Fang Dunru. He smiled solemnly and said, "Don't worry that your teacher will scold you. This matter is purely for discussion. Now that it's done, there's no turning back. I'm just curious about what I would do if I were you."
Lin Jue cupped his hands and said, "Lin Jue is not very talented and has little knowledge. He dare not speak nonsense about this matter."
Fang Dunru said: "Have you not said enough? You were just talking eloquently, but now you don't dare to speak nonsense?"
Lin Jue smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, what you are saying now is just hindsight, so what's the use? As Mr. Yan said, the done deal is done, the matter has reached this point."
Fang Dunru said: "It's okay for you to talk. As a teacher, I don't blame you for speaking out, but I blame you for not saying anything."
Lin Jue smiled bitterly and said: "Students are soft-spoken, and it is useless to say anything. But if the teacher wants to listen, the students will talk about their ideas. The students think that the establishment of three departments of regulations is necessary. After all, it is the yamen that is fully responsible for the implementation of the reform.
The implementation of the reform requires specialized agencies to promote it. But the reform requires the full cooperation of all departments of the court, rather than the coercive act of forcibly integrating the three powers. This not only violates the ancestral system, but also causes
This caused additional confusion. The new Yamen has three powers: military, government, and finance, but outside the new Yamen, there are two governments and three departments. They also manage the three powers of military, government, and finance. When it comes to specific affairs, confusion about rights and responsibilities is inevitable. This pair
The implementation of the new law will be counterproductive."
Fang Dunru frowned and stroked his beard, thoughtfully. Yan Zhengsu also nodded slowly and listened.
"The three yamen of the Privy Council of the Government Hall are the top yamen agencies in Zhou Dynasty. There is no denying the importance of their powers and responsibilities. What kind of impact will the decentralization of powers of the new yamen have on the minds of the officials of the two bureaus and the three bureaus? To put it bluntly,
If Lord Yan and Mr. Yan are the heads of the Government Hall and the heads of the Privy Council, that's fine. After all, they share their own power, so it doesn't matter. However, the problem is that the heads of the two governments are both other people and important ministers of the court.
, powerful figures. So the new Yamen's move to decentralize power is an open and honest act of offense. As the heads of these two governments, what do you think? This will not only fail to unite the majority of people to support the reform.
On the contrary, these behaviors will make them resentful and turn against them. Is this good or bad for the promotion of the new law? There is no need for students to elaborate."
Yan Zhengsun nodded slowly and said: "Indeed, we have considered what you said, but it is the lesser of two evils. Without the integration of the three powers, the new law cannot be implemented at all, and we can only do our best. I believe
Prime Minister Lu and Privy Yang must be able to understand. After all, their attitude towards the reform is also supportive, and they should not care about trivial details."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "If they don't care, then it would be best. But whether they really don't care, only God knows."
Fang Dunru frowned and said: "What I'm asking you is, if it were you, how could you get the best of both worlds? You've talked a lot, but you're still criticizing the new Yamen. You should tell us your method."
Lin Jue cupped his hands and said: "Yes, sir, don't blame the students for not making sense. The students feel a little strange. Didn't sir and Mr. Yan think about asking Prime Minister Lu and Privy Yang to preside over the reform together? If these two
If people are willing to join the new yamen and jointly decide on the reform, the new yamen will naturally integrate military, political and financial power, and there is no need to create other branches. Or even if one of the two joins, it will be enough to ensure that the new yamen will be in the government.
Its position has been stabilized.”
Fang Dunru was stunned for a moment, then he laughed: "So that's what you meant, you are really childish. Lu Zhongtian and Yang Jun did a good job without objecting, but you still want them to join the host? What's more?
, they joined, will the reform still be a reform? Wouldn’t it be completely different? If they were willing to change, how could Da Zhou be where it is today? Lin Jue, you are childish and take it for granted. "
Yan Zhengsun also said slowly: "Lin Jue, your method is indeed not feasible. The reason why Lu Zhongtian and Yang Jun did not object is because the Holy One supports us. No one knows what they think in their hearts. We persuade them to join.
That is impossible. There will definitely be disagreements on the specific ideas of the reform. It is impossible for us to compromise on specific matters, so the implementation of the new law will become mutual wrangling and buck-passing. This is exactly what we least want to see.
Then what is the purpose of establishing this new yamen? Is it another place to shirk responsibility?"
Lin Jue frowned and said: "Master Yan, sir. If it is what you said, and the students said it politely, it means that the time for reform has not yet come. If even you think that the Political Affairs Hall and the Privy Council will not support the new law,
The chance of success of this new law is probably very slim. Students believe that for the reform to be successful, it must make sufficient compromises with all parties instead of tit-for-tat. Otherwise, the resistance will be too great and failure will be inevitable. Students believe that Mr. and Mr. Yan
Determination and will, but some things just don’t come true just because you think about it. The strongest is easy to break, and the best is as good as water. It will not work if you rush forward with your neck straight, without knowing the methods, and unwilling to make any concessions and compromises.
.”
"Bang!" Fang Dunru stood up and slapped the table together, glaring at Lin Jue with an angry look: "How outrageous! You bastard, you are so rude. Do you still take me and Master Yan seriously? What do you think of yourself?
Are you here? Talking nonsense to us? I think you don’t know who you are anymore. I don’t dare to have you as my student. I can’t stand you, the smartest and most capable student in the world. You can leave.
"
"What's wrong? Why are you banging the table again?" Mrs. Fang and Fang Huanqiu came in in a panic, and happened to see Fang Dunru pointing at Lin Jue and scolding him with an angry look.
"Dad, if you have something to say, please tell me, senior brother..." Fang Huanqiu said hurriedly.
"Shut up. From now on, you are not allowed to call him senior brother. I will write a post tomorrow to sever the master-disciple relationship with him and have nothing to do with him anymore. From now on, you will never have this senior brother again." Fang Dunru shouted sternly.
Fang Huanqiu's face turned pale with fright, and he stood there blankly, with tears falling down drop by drop. After hearing this, Lin Jue hurriedly left his seat and knelt down, apologizing repeatedly: "Sir, calm down, the student knows his mistake, and the student will stop talking nonsense. The student... speaks indiscriminately.
, it really deserves to be damned.”
"Don't say it anymore. Your true nature has been revealed. I already spared you once in Yudelou last time. Unfortunately, you are still like this. I can't spare you this time. You go, the relationship between master and disciple between you and me ends here."
Break it off." Fang Dunruwu shouted to himself.
Lin Jue was speechless in panic. Fang Huanqiu knelt down next to Lin Jue and cried: "Dad, what did senior brother do wrong? How filial brother is to you and your mother? Even if there is any fault, you can't sever the master-disciple relationship with him.
Is there something that I can’t talk about properly?”
Fang Dunru frowned and said nothing. Fang Huanqiu turned to Yan and said solemnly: "Uncle Yan, please help to persuade me. But you can't drive me away. Dad is just angry. If he does this, he will regret it in the future. "
Yan Zhengshen was originally angry at what Lin Jue said just now, but the situation at this moment was something he didn't want to see. He didn't want Fang Dunru and Lin Jue's master and disciple to turn against each other and sever their relationship. Besides, what Lin Jue said today was not true. It makes no sense. Except for Fang Dunru, Yan Zhengshen has never seen anyone talk so much about the reform. This actually proves that Lin Jue is very concerned about the reform and has made profound contributions. Thinking. Although the opinions may be different, they are thousands of times better than those who don't think at all. In fact, what the new Yamen needs is people like Lin Jue.
"Brother Dunru, calm down. What are you doing? You agreed to just listen, why are you so angry again? Are we so narrow-minded that we can't listen to objections? Although what Lin Jue said is ridiculous and rude, its intention is It's good, don't you say those hurtful words easily? Don't do that. Lin Jue, why don't you kowtow to your husband and apologize?" Yan said solemnly.
Lin Jue knelt down and kowtowed, apologizing again and again. Fang Dunru sighed and said: "Lin Jue, my teacher is not willing to say these heartless words. In fact, your changes are difficult for me to accept. Why are you such a person?" I feel really sad for you as a teacher. You are so arrogant and selfish, which I really cannot accept. My disciple Fang Dunru should not only be a saint but also a virtuous person, at least he should be well-behaved, humble and polite. You are like this to me. , it shows that you have no etiquette in your heart. Can you blame me for being angry?"
Lin Jue said repeatedly: "It's the student's fault. Sir, please calm down. Sir, please calm down."
Fang Dunru was stunned for a long time and said: "That's all, I will give you another chance as a teacher, but from now on, you need to be careful about your words and deeds, and strictly discipline yourself. Well... you can't refuse the transfer of you to the new Yamen. You must I want to take up a post. None of my students in Fang Dunru support the reform. Isn’t this a joke to the world? But if you come, you will come, and you are not allowed to speak nonsense. If you say anything stupid about the reform, I will not forgive you. Being a teacher is not to be harsh on you, but to train you, otherwise it will be difficult for you to become a talent. Your experience starts from keeping silent and doing things."
Lin Jue didn't know what he felt in his heart. This was almost rude force. However, because of his teacher's kindness, Lin Jue had nothing to do at this moment. If he contradicted him again at this moment, even if it really meant that Fang Dunru would not be able to survive. There is a way out.
Lin Jue felt extremely regretful. Why did he say those words? Why didn't he hold back? Knowing that Yan Zhengsheng and Fang Dunru were desperate for reform, how could he remain rational and listen to different opinions? He still refused Isn’t it unwise to say so much? And now I have to work in a new government office, isn’t it self-defeating?
However, Lin Jue does not intend to act according to the rules set by Fang Dunru. Since he is involved, he will still speak out if something inappropriate happens, otherwise it is really selfish. Since he is involved, he must do his best. Find a way to carry out the reform, otherwise it would be the greatest disrespect to Mr.
