Eight hundred and ninetieth chapters exhortation book
Cui Jieren's words were immediately supported by the children of the gentry.
This is because Han Yi laid a solid foundation for him, because now they have no choice. The public opinion is completely controlled by Han Yi. The forces in the court are complicated and each has their own plans and cannot suppress Han Yi at all. The only way to save the defeat now is to fight against the poor family and use their strength to teach them a lesson.
You should know that they have been frustrated for so many days. Their gentry has not been humiliated, but they are usually emperors suppressing them. The poor families have never humiliated them so much. They need to vent their anger, so they are very motivated.
In addition, although the gentry is corrupt, the family rules and regulations are still very strict. Many people still have strong self-esteem. They still have ambitions and ideals, not a group of walking corpses. After all, they have received a very good education and are influenced by the family background. Like these old-school gentry, they cannot make them rich and let their descendants spend the whole life.
However, the development of the gentry is now a very large group, and it is certain that the quality is uneven. There are also some people who are addicted to wine and sex and are willing to fall into depravity.
Therefore, Cui Jieren revealed in his words that he wanted to redefine the gentry, not that he was born as a gentry, but that was to kick those black sheep out of the gentry. Otherwise, Han Yi would always have materials to attack the gentry.
In this subtle way, the four sons of Chang'an, led by Cui Jieren, gradually became the leader of the children of the gentry.
As for the other three sons, Changsun Yan is qualified, but he doesn't like these. He likes the rule of law. Whether you are a commoner or aristocrat, you are a scumbag in front of the law. What kind of family glory is a sinner if you break the law. Dugu Wuyue pursues revival of the Dugu family, he is determined to make achievements and has no time to pay attention to these people. Yuan Liehu hates these intrigues even more.
But Pei Qingfeng thought, this was what he had always dreamed of. He was just like Yue Buqun, obsessed with fame, but what he did was really not good. He spent so much effort to recruit these gentry children under his command, but unexpectedly, at the end, Cui Jieren suddenly ran out to intercept the bell, and Cui Jieren also did this matter specifically. He also did this last time, and offered advice to Cui Yixuan to steal Han Yi's fruit of victory.
Pei Qingfeng and Cui Jieren are two completely opposite ideas. Pei Qingfeng is an old-fashioned idea. He uses the superiority and privileges of the nobles to suppress the common people in all respects and prevent you from jumping up. This is right. The nobles do this. He is just repeating what his ancestors have done. Let alone him, many children of the gentry have this idea in the first place.
But when he met Han Yi, he could only blame him for his bad luck. Han Yi broke this traditional practice.
It is precisely because of Pei Qingfeng's failure that Cui Jieren's new idea can quickly gain everyone's recognition.
Now a new leader has emerged among the children of the gentry, and Han Yi has also become the leader among the poor. Although the propaganda they do is extremely hostile, their central idea is the same, which is to show off their real skills to compete fairly.
Before this, many people thought this was a very difficult problem, and even Li Zhi roared and didn't know how to end it.
But now this problem has been solved smoothly.
The key lies in the articles of Cui Jieren and others.
The reason is very simple. This matter did not detonate from the court, but started from the people. Moreover, the people involved were all poor families and gentry children, all of them were young. This is the key to the problem. To solve this problem, we must start from here.
One must bow his head.
In fact, the gentry bowed their heads and they wanted to face the poor. This is a sign of bowing their heads. This was impossible in the past.
However, Cui Jieren and the others chose a way to bow their heads without embarrassment, which is to write a letter of war. You poor families criticized us because you think it was unfair, but our gentry felt that it was quite fair. We were in the temple with this wise man. Since you are not convinced, then we will compete fairly with you. I want you to lose with confidence, and at the same time, we encouraged the children of the gentry. We have always used our talents to suppress the poor families. We are afraid that they will do what they do and let them see how powerful our gentry is.
With such aroused words, the poor families began to differentiate, because there are many arrogant people in the poor families. They always feel that they are not appreciating their talents. It is because the gentry is pressing on them. It’s not that I am incompetent. Now you still dare to follow us with real skills. If you can do it, we will tell the truth in the pen. I can’t ask for it. But some people think that this is the gentry looking for a way for themselves. We should not face the challenge. There are also such people in the gentry. We should continue to criticize them and ruin them.
But the problem is that everyone is in a very high mood now, and competition has naturally become a main theme.
The consequence of this competition is to transform the anger in everyone's heart into motivation. It was originally a vicious competition, but now it has become a kind of healthy competition.
Contradictions are still increasing, but danger no longer exists.
The people below stopped making trouble, and the dispute between scholars and common people in the court could not start.
The solution is actually very simple. It just means that young people must stand up, and the older generation will not be able to do this. If they stand up, it will be very embarrassing because it is too different from their previous image. If young people stand up and take over completely, this can be avoided, and things become much simpler. Young people are young and energetic and have a fighting spirit. Regardless of whether you are face or not, you will succeed and lose.
The Shandong gentry not only escaped this disaster, but also did not lose face. Because Cui Jieren continued to shape the glory of the gentry, he declared war on the poor with a very arrogant attitude, which is also the reason why he was supported by the children of the gentry.
Taiwei's Mansion.
"hehe!"
After Changsun Wuji put down the latest issue of the Tang Dynasty Daily, he smiled and said, "No wonder I have never guessed how he will end. It turns out that this kid doesn't follow the common sense at all. They have no intention of coming out and ending by themselves, but letting the four major families come out and end by themselves."
Lai Ji said on the side: "This game is indeed very exquisitely arranged. The day before yesterday, the struggle between the scholars and the common people was not conducive to national stability and even a great possibility of chaos. However, after this issue of the Tang Dynasty Daily, the original class struggle immediately evolved into a very positive competition. Now both the scholars and the common people are working hard to overcome each other, hoping to defeat each other."
Han Yuan said: "But the biggest profiter is Han Yi. The Shandong gentry was the leader of the gentry. Their response was equivalent to elevating the status of the poor family. Han Yi was deeply benefiting!"
"No! No!"
Changsun Wuji waved his hand and said, "The biggest profiter is Your Majesty. Rather than raising the status of a poor family, it is better to say that it has lowered the status of the gentry. The status of the gentry in Shandong has always been the most troublesome thing for Your Majesty. Not only that, it also created a positive situation for the whole nation. All the difficult and complicated diseases will be solved. Your Majesty and the Tang Dynasty are deeply benefiting. Your Majesty bet on Han Yi and can be said to have a great victory."
Lai Ji frowned and said, "The Taiwei means that this game of chess is actually the one who is playing against His Majesty, and Han Yi is also one of the chess pieces."
Changsun Wuji nodded and sighed a little, "The late emperor often told me that Your Majesty is a little weak now and needs all my heart to help. I also thought so at the beginning. But the facts prove that Your Majesty is not weak at all. This emperor's skill is not weaker than the late emperor! I am not unfair to lose."
Palace!
"Ha ha!"
Li Zhi laughed up and said, "This Han Yi is so smart. He can think of such a method. It's amazing! It's amazing! I have to accept it."
Wu Meiniang looked at the Tang Dynasty Daily and smiled: "Isn't Cui Jieren and his articles just like Han Yi who is frightened by the way, and praises the spirit of virtuousness, and compares the contributions made to the country."
Li Zhidao: "If everyone wants to contribute to the country, share the worries of the king, and benefit the people, rather than intrigue and fight for power and profit, why worry about my Tang Dynasty not going to a higher level? This kind of competition I have always longed for."
Wu Meiniang said: "In this way, Han Yi's move was for His Majesty."
Li Zhi was stunned and said, "It's not that I left for me, but that I should be said to be for the Tang Dynasty. Among them, it is not only me and Han Yi, but also the gentry members are also profitable. In fact, the gentry gradually weakens. This is an indisputable fact. It is just that the background and academics of their family can barely maintain their reputation. The court does need them, but Han Yi said it well. The court needs them not because of how powerful they are, but because there are too few talents in the world. The current struggle can be regarded as a fierce medicine, which may cheer up the gentry again. Do you think the gentry lost or won."
Wu Meiniang frowned and said, "But the four of them can only represent a small number of gentry. I believe that doing so will hurt many gentry, so most of them will not agree with it. This dispute may continue."
“That’s where the essence lies.”
Li Zhidao: "Although the court has always advocated the spirit of advocating the virtuous, it is not the case. When selecting officials, the children of the high-school families have great advantages. If they really advocate the spirit of advocating the virtuous, these high-school families will definitely oppose it. But if the high-school families actively advocate the spirit of advocating the virtuous, then the court can be at ease. In the punishment of Han Yi a few days ago, many gentry sieges constrained each other for their own interests, and Shandong gentry was deeply harmed. What do you think Shandong gentry do?"
Wu Meiniang's eyes lit up and she said, "One prospers and one prospers, one loss and one loss."
Li Zhi nodded and said, "Not bad! The Shandong gentry must be full of resentment now. They hate the most not the poor family, but the gentry who did not stand up to help and advocate the virtuous. This will not only save them, but also bring the rest of the high-ranking families, but also pull the rest of the high-ranking families into the water. Everyone is in the same pond, and whoever lives and dies will depend on their own abilities. The Shandong gentry is the leader of the gentry. Once they firmly support the gentry, they will not hesitate to give up the preferential treatment given to them by the court. In addition to the power of the poor family, the other gentry will probably not be able to stop them. I can finally let go and promote talents useful to the country."
Just then, Zhang Desheng said to the outsider: "Your Majesty, the Censor sent a memorial."
"Take it in."
"yes."
Zhang Desheng walked in and handed a memorial to Li Zhi.
Li Zhi opened it and couldn't help but be stunned, "Is it him?"
After the four articles of Cui Jieren, Wang Xuandao, Lu Shi Gua, and Zheng Shanxing came out, and the encouragement from both sides, the unnecessary disputes stopped. Because there was no reason for the poor family to make trouble again, the aristocrats had already spoken out, it was a mule or a horse, you had to pull it out and go. If you can't pull it out, you'll blame the gravitational disorder.
However, whether it can develop into healthy competition depends on the meaning of the court. Whether it is a poor family or aristocratic family, it does not count. The main thing is whether the court will give them fair competition.
On the morning court that day, civil and military officials were on both sides of the hall, and Han Yi also came.
In fact, in ancient times, when civil and military officials were not attending courts together every day, there was no need to discuss any more things, unless they were asked to exchange feelings, usually, the emperor and the central minister discussed matters in the Liangyi Hall. If there was a major announcement, they had to come to court.
Li Zhi sat on the steps, glanced at the officials, and said straight to the point: "I received a memorial yesterday. The contents of it made me feel ashamed. I haven't been asleep all night. Today, I plan to let you see this memorial. Come on, present the memorial."
After a while, the two little eunuchs walked in with a tray and sent the copied article to the civil and military officials.
Han Yi was also very curious and did not expect that this would be the beginning. After taking it, he found that it was written by Li Si's famous "Letter of Admonition to Exile Guests".
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, talents from all countries who were unsuccessful came to the Qin Dynasty to become officials. Once, South Korea sent a water worker Zheng State to lobby King Ying Zheng, advocating for digging canals and irrigating fields, attempting to consume Qin's manpower and unable to attack South Korea, in order to implement the "Impotence Qin Plan".
But when he was discovered, King Ying Zheng of Qin believed that most of the guests who came to Qin wanted to travel to Qin, so he ordered the expulsion of the guests. Li Si was also among the expelled ones. Although he was frightened, before leaving, he took the initiative to write a letter to the King of Qin not to expel the guests, and wrote the "Letter of Admonition to Expel the Guest" that has been passed down through the ages.
This article mainly shows the idea of not distinguishing between region, nationality, and appointing people based on their merits.
Although Li Si has both merits and demerits, the wonderful thing about Li Si is that whether it is right or wrong, every suggestion of his influence on the course of Chinese history. In addition to appointing people based on merit, his article also repeatedly mentioned a proposition, which is great unification.
In fact, the same was true for the American imperialists in later generations. It was actually a way to recruit talents from various countries to achieve the hegemony of the American imperialists.
Anyone who has read the scriptures has read this article and memorized it like a stream. It is not surprising that anyone knows it.
What is eye-catching is the second half. We are now always criticizing Qin Shihuang for being extravagant, tyrannical, and stubborn. But look at people who use people, they can even distinguish between nationality, do what they say, resolutely implement the idea of appointing people based on merit, and list a large number of talents from the six countries who defected to Qin at that time. It is precisely because of these talents that Qin Shihuang unified the six countries.
And what about us? Even if we select talents from our own subjects, we still have to be distinguished by scholars and common people. We treat them differently. We can only shout slogans and make a few poor families to set an example. They have the right example, but they do what they say.
You have the nerve to criticize Qin Shihuang. His mind is far better than today. With the narrow and distorted psychology of our court, what do you use to surpass the Qin Dynasty? They have a great power style that embraces all rivers, and we only have the petite attitude of a woman.
Have we really used the past as a mirror?
The entire second half of the Tang Dynasty was so unsightly!
But there is no label for who wrote it.
The ministers were sweating all the time. Who was the one who was desperate? If you gave such a memorial, it was no wonder that Li Zhi didn't sleep all night. He probably was thinking about how to torture the other party so that he would be worse than death.
Gradually, everyone looked at one person.
This person is Han Yi.
This is very similar to Han Yi's style. Those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes. They dare to say anything, but they are a bad life. If you say it wrong, I am just a farmer. You can't be serious about farmer. If you get it right, you have to praise him.
This kid is the worst.
When Han Yi saw everyone looking at him, he felt a little confused. You see, what do I do? I never do such a complicated matter, and I can't write any memorials. I usually only write on the Tang Daily about my own mental journey. You really don't understand my character.
