Zhao Luli ordered several copies of the articles written by the wives of the long-serving generals, and posted them on the eight-character wall when the commander changed positions at noon. Recently, the emperor has opened up his way of speaking, and literati of all factions and departments are very active. Occasionally, they have wonderful ideas, or send them to the emperor for corrections, or share recitations with their classmates, and those who have the courage to directly post them on the public list to make a name for themselves.
He asked the little boy to guard the wall to prevent other articles from covering it, and then stood not far away to watch. As he had expected, this article quickly attracted the attention of passers-by, especially scholars who studied Legalism, who stood under the wall and couldn't move.
After a while, several scholars began to chant word by word, attracting more passers-by to watch.
I have to say that Xu Guangzhi is very generous in terms of choosing words and sentences, but compared with his wife, he is really inferior. His articles were written for scholar-bureaucrats, and it was the privileged class who wanted to please, so there were many esoteric and incomprehensible allusions. Madam's article was written not only for literati, but also for common people, explaining the truth in simple language, and citing examples that are easy to understand. She also parsed "Confucianism and Law" into more straightforward words, pointing out its shortcomings in a straight-forward manner, so that anyone who listened to it, even children of eight or nine years old, could understand it.
Therefore, as soon as the scholar read a few paragraphs, more and more plain-headed people came around, and the neatly dressed scholars were crowded with nowhere to stay. Before the literati opened their mouths, the ordinary people applauded with thunderous applause. There are those who have been oppressed or have wronged hearts, tears streaming down their faces, weeping bitterly, and bluntly speaking against the hostel, every word and every word speaks to their hearts, and just like the emperor and teacher, they are truly praying for the people! Even when they read the most esoteric passages about legislation and cultivating the law, they were reluctant to leave. Although their faces were ignorant, they would say hello from time to time, clapping their hands, and vowing to support them to the end.
"Who is this innkeeper? Could it be that he is really a little shopkeeper who runs an inn? This literary talent is simply outstanding, and it can be compared with the emperor's teacher!"
"Xu Guangzhi's previous policy theory was praised as a strange article, and I wondered why it was strange, but it turned out to be the voice of the powerful, to open up the eyes of the aristocratic family, and to provide a justifiable reason for the upper class to oppress the common people. This man really has a difficult temperament. Change, the hostile anger has not been eliminated, but it has added servility, and changed to praise the stinky feet of scholar-bureaucrats!"
"That's right. Compared with the people in the hostel, his character is really a high-spirited breeze, and a dirty one."
"Let's not talk about the character and character, he is also far from the world, and we can't talk about it together!"
"The innkeeper is really the bell and drum of the people, and it's deafening! Which official can say what he said? Which commoner dares to say it? I listened to it from the beginning to the end, even if I don't understand the last part, I feel extremely relaxed. !"
"It's really fun! This is the real strange text, Xu Guangzhi is a fart compared to the inverse hostel people?"
"Hey, that's bad! It doesn't count as fart!" As soon as the man's voice fell, there was a lot of laughter next to him.
Zhao Luli slowly integrated into the crowd, read the article over and over again, and listened to their high praise for his wife, his heart was full of pride and regret. This is the lady who gave up his self-esteem and went to the palace to beg for it in person; it was also the lady who he blindly suppressed and wantonly humiliated; and the lady who was cold to him and almost gave up righteousness in front of the drum. If he had seen her goodness earlier and learned to understand, cherish, and love her, they would not have so much estrangement and indifference now.
Now, he doesn't even dare to say "Guan Suyi is my wife" to others, lest he will provoke ridicule of "I don't know happiness in the midst of happiness". I found that Father Guan and Father Guan were walking towards this side after resigning from their jobs. His cheeks were red and he had no face to see each other. He hurriedly sneaked away with his head down. The manuscript in his arms was stolen, and he couldn't help crying.
Father Guan and Father Guan are not familiar with Xu Guangzhi's prose, and can't they see the handwriting of the pearl in the palm of your hand? First stay for a while, and then read it again and again.
After about half an hour, the two of them had already read the article thoroughly, and their hearts were full of stormy waves.
"Wow, I taught her Confucianism at a young age, but you secretly taught her a hundred schools of thought behind my back! This article combines the benevolence, virtue and fraternity of Confucianism; justice and punishment of Legalism; tranquility and inaction of Taoism. It's perfect without being abrupt. How much effort did you spend behind my back?" The old man seemed to be furious, but his eyes were full of proud smiles.
Father Guan was also very puzzled, and said modestly, "My son didn't teach her much. He just stuffed a few miscellaneous books. He didn't even take school exams on a regular basis, but he just let himself go. Yiyi is talented, what can I do?" As if helpless.
The father and son looked at each other, then laughed dumbly. But they never imagined that if Wu had spent the rest of his life under house arrest in Bie Zhuang, there would not be Guan Suyi, who is now standing in a bookcase and is only eight buckets tall. Everything she has is in exchange for endless suffering, and she is not worthy of pride and admiration.
At the same time, Xu Guangzhi tore the manuscript in his hand into pieces, and then brushed off the things on the desk, looking exasperated. King Jingjun sat on the top and snorted coldly, "It's useless to be angry at this time, why don't you write an article to argue? Aren't you the best at eloquence, so you can't step on this villain?"
Xu Guangzhi was deeply scheming and thought too far, and said sullenly, "Your Highness doesn't know something, now it's not whether I can refute him, but whether others are willing to listen. Do you know why his article spread so quickly. , but in just an hour, it has been heard in the streets, and everyone knows it? My article was written from the position of the powerful and was written for scholars and officials, but his article was written from the position of the common people. Hundreds of millions of people in the Wei Kingdom read it. My article is to speak for the privileged class, and his article is to plead for the life of ordinary people. Wangye, how much power is there in Wei State? How many are the common people? He was bewitched and believed that I was a powerful hawk, and he would never listen to me from now on! Even if I wrote hundreds or thousands of articles, it would be in vain. Do you remember the last time Prime Minister Wang incited civil unrest? The power can overthrow even the imperial power, and even the monarch must be in awe, how can the voice of the people be ignored or even blocked at will? On this surging river, it is destined to be drowned! I only hope that the emperor understands my painstaking efforts, and pays more attention to my strategies and supports and reuses them. So now we can't do anything, we can only wait. "
King Jingjun recalled the last time he almost split the state of Wei, and he felt timid in his heart. He is not Emperor Shengyuan, and he has absolutely no prestige to quell the civil unrest. If Xu Guangzhi and Ni Hotel people start a pen battle but fail miserably, not only will his literary name be destroyed, but he will also be burned.
The two sat silently at each other, and after a while, they could only admit defeat with hatred, and wait for the next time to make arrangements slowly and regain their strength.
----
In the Weiyang Palace, Emperor Shengyuan dispatched a secret guard to steal the original manuscript from Zhao Luli's arms, just like reading it with a fascination, sometimes stunned, sometimes suddenly realized, and he was reluctant to let go for a moment.
"Come here! I summoned Di Shi, Taichang, Sima, Situ, Sikong, etc., and said that I have a wonderful article here that I want to share with them!" knowledge.
Two quarters of an hour later, the ministers were summoned, and when they saw the manuscript in the emperor's hand, they couldn't understand it. As scholar-bureaucrats, they were naturally more satisfied with Xu Guangzhi's strategy, but the emperor was born in the rough and barbarian, so it was difficult for them to understand their obsession with patriarchal power and clan etiquette. Suo is also unprecedentedly strong.
The publication of this article can be said to be in line with the destiny and in line with the people's hearts. Although it hurts the vital points of the powerful, it also scratches the itch of the common people and even the poor men. It has an extremely large mass base. Now that the aristocratic family is declining and the poor family is rising, it affirms the importance of the Confucian doctrine of benevolence and wins the recognition of the common people; on the other hand, it directly points out the limitations and disadvantages of its division of human beings, and it has won the support and support of the common people all over the world. Immediately after that, the style was changed again, from simple and easy-to-understand white prose to a profound and refined legislative outline, which captured the hearts of literati.
If this innkeeper is willing to go into office, he should be an imperial teacher again!
Everyone's thoughts were different. They walked slowly to the front of the hall to salute. Before kneeling down, they were summoned by the emperor. They said with joy, "This article called "The Law of the People" must have been read by all of you Ai Qing? Come? Come on, tell me what you think."
Father Guan and Father Guan took a closer look and found that the manuscript paper was actually written by the handwriting of their own palm, and they couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.
Among the chiefs of the three divisions, two came from an aristocratic family. Naturally, they didn’t like the article very much. They would hang their heads and drink tea after a few perfunctory sentences. Sikong, who came from a poor family, praised and highly praised them, and slowly lowered the emotions of Guan’s father and son to the bottom of the valley. mobilize.
The emperor had never seen Yiyi's handwriting, so it shouldn't matter. Thinking like this, the two of them turned their faces as usual, took a few sips of hot tea, and waited for Sikong Kua to finish talking before talking.
"Emperor, you are the best at writing, please help me, how about this "law of the people"?" Emperor Shengyuan asked with a wicked interest.
The old man Guan reluctantly suppressed his pride and affirmed, "This article can be regarded as the introduction to legislation, and all officials of the detailed editorial and editorial office should be carefully studied and understood. Xu Guangzhi's policy commentary has also been read by the minister, and its purpose is 'in the The establishment of national laws on the basis of ritual and patriarchal law seems to show benevolence and righteousness and benefit all classes, but in fact it strengthens the patriarchal power and weakens the monarchical power; strengthens the cohesion of the clan and weakens the rule of the state, which can stabilize the society within three to five years, and make it possible within ten years. The people are obedient, but twenty or thirty years later, families and clans can be prospered…”
As for the consequences of revitalizing the family and clan, I don't need him to say any more.
Emperor Sheng Yuan's eyes became sharper, and he turned to look at the two adults, Sima and Situ, and said without a smile, "No wonder Xu Guangzhi is so sought after by scholars and officials, but it turns out that this is the reason. After the country's laws, you can still be invited or become an official. It's really easy! You have obtained privileges and formed a group. If you want to do anything, you have relatives or colleagues to help cover up. Where do you put me? Good Xu Guangzhi, good family Mouthpiece, noble eagle dog!"
Sima and Situ were trembling with fear, and hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty, and never dared to recommend Xu Guangzhi for office. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that his policy theory is hitting the emperor's heart and lungs, and it has already made him hate it to the extreme!
