As the lord of one side, Ye Chunqiu cares about the people in and out of the words. If he is an ordinary person, he must think that Ye Chunqiu is noble and honest, but...

But Li Dongyang was in front of Ye Chunqiu. Li Dongyang actually smiled, but there was deep sarcasm in his eyes, saying, "It is indeed admirable for His Highness King Lu to do this. All the people in the world will definitely be grateful for His Highness' kindness and kindness, but His Highness is wrong, and it is very wrong."

Ye Chunqiu's face was calm, but he just looked at him quietly, without saying a word, obviously waiting for Li Dongyang's next words.

Li Dongyang continued tactfully: "Do you know that the emperor is governing the world with scholars and officials, rather than with the people?"

"Do you think that if you have the people in your heart, you can make peace in the world? You are wrong. The world belongs to the emperor and the literati. People? What are the people? People are ignorant of people, and people only know what they know about the fields and workshops. What do they know? They are just flocks of sheep, and literati are shepherds. Do you think that you can keep your life alone if you love the people as your son? I'm here to ask you, love the people as your son, what is this people? Do you really think they are just ordinary people?"

"You are wrong. Since Zhou Dynasty, there have been differences between Chinese and savages. What are Chinese people? Chinese people are the same surname as the emperor, samurai, and scholars who have read books. They are Chinese people. This people are them, not savages. Savages are slaves, servants, and flocks of sheep."

"I asked you again, who gave this umbrella of people when the local officials left office? This is a symbol of local officials' moral governance and represents the people's recognition of officials. But I tell you that since the umbrella of people, none of the umbrellas in the world have been given by the so-called people. The people who gave it are either local gentry or scholars. It can be seen that the good or bad of an official lies in how scholars view it, and how gentry see it. Look at the many kings, princes, generals, and their good or bad, and how many people are not written by scholars?"

"Wang Anshi wants to reform, but it cannot be changed. Why? Because scholars and gentry are not satisfied, everyone criticized him for being cruel. They are also from the New Party, and Cai Jing. Why is Cai Jing a treacherous minister? Because he gave the emperor Hua Shigang and the birthday gift? Ha, do you believe it or not? If Sima Guang and other so-called Qingliu become prime ministers, they will also send it. They will still have to coax the emperor, the ministers in the world, especially the most powerful ministers. Who doesn't want to have a good relationship with the emperor? Which one will not try his best to satisfy the emperor? But why did Cai Jing become a traitor? Just because he is the New Party, he wants to change it!"

"His Royal Highness King Lu is a man of his own people, and he wants to be loyal to farmers, craftsmen, and countless people. Then I will ask you, if you want the farmers to live and work in peace, you need to attack the gentry. Then, does His Royal Highness King Lu want to be this cruel official, this Wang Anshi, and this Cai Jing?"

Ye Chunqiu thought for a while and said, "If the gentry harms the people, I will naturally refuse to settle with them."

Li Dongyang shook his head again and said, "Okay, since that's the case, then I ask again, Your Highness King Lu wants to seek benefits for the craftsmen. If any merchant exploits the craftsmen, what should Your Highness King Lu do?"

Ye Chunqiu said without hesitation: "The state has its own laws, and the laws are not merciless!"

Li Dongyang shook his head again: "Haha, Your Highness King Lu's heart is good. Then I ask again, the gentry is born to exploit farmers, just as merchants are innate to exploit craftsmen. If the Duke of Zhenguo stands with the craftsmen and farmers, the gentry and merchants will naturally stay away from Your Highness, and they will eventually be the same as me. In the end, he hopes to change this number of days and find a number of days that suits their wishes. Then... Your Highness King Lu, you will become their irreconcilable enemy. At that time, there will naturally be a second King Lu and the third King Lu. With their support, you will replace you. At this time, is Your Highness King Lu still just pretending to be the people in his heart?"

Li Dongyang's words were obviously not for asking Ye Chunqiu's answer. He paused for a moment and said again, "You are wrong." Li Dongyang shook his head and continued, "Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, these four kinds of people cannot be both. If you defend one of them, you may offend the other one. Those who govern must never have the intention to establish a life for the people. What those governing should think is, who can sit in the world with me, who can be the power I rely on and rely on, and who will be supported by whom I will be. Therefore, in the eight hundred years of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Emperor of Zhou and the Princes, and the people of the country were the Emperor of the Qin, Han, Wei and Jin, the Emperor and

The clans are in the world, so the Tang and Song dynasties, and I, the Emperor and the Scholars and the Scholars and the Scholars and the Scholars and the Scholars and the Scholars and the Scholars and the Scholars and the Scholars and the Scholars and the Scholars and the Scholars and the Scholars and the Scholars are in the world. This sentence may sound a bit cruel, but it is a technique of ruling. When Your Highness understands who is the power you can rely on, it will inevitably lead to dissatisfaction among other people. At this time, Your Highness needs to rely on them and curb other people. Just like the Ming Dynasty, you can use Scholars and commerce to curb industry and commerce, and then use Scholars and literati to govern and support farmers. This... is the foundation of long-term stability. Once this foundation is lost, someone wants to abandon the Scholars and literati, will the Scholars and literati in the world give up?"

Finally... it's about the key point.

The national policy of the Ming Dynasty has begun to change. Although this change may not be a hurried reversal, restless factors have already emerged.

Ye Chunqiu looked at Li Dongyang deeply, and a light flashed in his eyes quickly, saying, "Some people mentioned by Mr. Li want to change the number of days. Are these people the scholars and doctors you mentioned?"

Li Dongyang smiled slightly and said, "It should be true. Now, I won't hide it from you. Someone wants to protect themselves. Once they cannot get what they want from His Majesty, they will try their best to get it with other methods. This is what they deserve. For more than a thousand years, they have been the decision of this world. How could they shake their foundation because of a emperor?"

Since he started this conversation with Ye Chunqiu, Li Dongyang's words were full of thorns. Ye Chunqiu has been calm. Until now, when he heard Li Dongyang talking about those behind his back, Ye Chunqiu finally couldn't help but sneer.

It seems that after listening to Li Dongyang's words for so long, this is what interested him the most...

At this time, he said, "How many of them are there, and how many are there in the court?"
