1733 Family and State Affairs
I don’t know when it started, but telling the truth turned into something that made people laugh at me. When you faced an injustice and wanted to demand justice, it gradually turned into being ignorant of current affairs and was ridiculed by others.
When everyone is so complacent that they have exhausted all their abilities, who still remembers what they yearned for most when they were children?
Shen Yue knew that the Song Dynasty had been decayed for a long time, and Xu Tuzhi was afraid that he would not be able to wait until the moment of improvement, so he used thunderous words to hope that some people would wake up.
He did not hope that everyone would wake up, but a few people were alert and understood his intentions, which was a good result. He also knew that such remarks were just arrogance in the eyes of most courtiers, but he decided to take responsibility
Fight back everything.
"Everyone can make mistakes."
Shen Yue said slowly, "Parents make mistakes, couples make mistakes, and kings also make mistakes."
As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked.
Some people secretly think that you, a young man, are floating in the sky relying on the favor of the emperor. When you fall, what you say today will become the sword of your death!
The king is the guide for the ministers, the father is the guide for the son, and the husband is the guide for the wife!
This is a fact that has been established for more than a thousand years. It is said that if the king, father, and husband make mistakes, what kind of world will this world be like?
Some people retorted like this in their hearts, but did not speak out.
Zhao Ji suddenly said, "What you said is right, sir, but I was wrong."
He suddenly said this, Cai Jing's face changed again, and he heard Zhao Ji say, "I am obsessed with pleasure and ignore the suffering of the people. I am not worthy of sitting on the throne of the emperor anymore."
The ministers were shocked and turned pale. Cai Jing took the lead and wailed, "Why did the Holy One say this? The Holy One is the sky. It is inevitable that there will be violent storms. What crime can God do?"
Someone echoed.
Someone in the crowd suddenly said, "Since the Holy Spirit thinks so, why not issue an edict to give up the throne to the crown prince to convince the people?"
As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked.
Shen Yue couldn't help but look at the person who was speaking. He saw that the person was in his prime, with a clear black beard and serious eyes. He said slowly, "Where is this person from?"
Without waiting for anyone else to answer, the man cupped his hands and said, "I am not Cai Li Gang, whose courtesy name is Bo Ji. I am Taichang Shaoqing."
Some people showed a slight expression of gloating.
Shen Yue knew Li Gang, and Huang Cheng's words flashed through his mind. The imperial court used troops against us several times. Even if Li Gang led the army to encircle and suppress us, we were killed and defeated.
Those are the words I heard at Dongting Lake.
Many years later, Li Gang once attacked Yang Yao, just like Yue Fei.
Now that Geng Nazhong is overthrown, Li Gang can still stand up and express his thoughts...
Shen Yue knew something about Li Gang's past, but historical records were not accurate. He needed to see it with his own eyes to understand what Li Gang was like.
Li Gang is still Li Gang after all!
Sensing Zhao Ji's gloomy expression, Shen Yue suddenly said, "Your Majesty, the same thing happened back then?"
Many people had difficulty understanding what Shen Yue meant, but Zhao Ji understood it clearly and said slowly, "Not bad."
It was Li Gang who persuaded Zhao Ji to abdicate back then?! The ministers Zhao Ji hired were all decision-makers before the Jingkang disaster?
Shen Yue came to this conclusion and thought to himself that although history is changing and fluctuating, many things still have a fixed context.
"Master Li, as the Taichang Shaoqing, has always been in charge of rituals and music, why do you discuss state affairs arbitrarily?" Shen Yue asked.
Some people secretly think, you are the one who makes us talk, and you are the one who doesn't let us talk. You have great power and you have the final say!
Li Gang said calmly, "Master Shen asked Cai Daizhi about family matters, and I was slightly moved."
"Where does the emotion come from?" Shen Yue asked immediately.
Li Gang said slowly, "Even Confucius was helpless if he thought his parents were at fault. It is really hard to do this by admonishing your elders and still being respectful and without resentment even if the other party doesn't listen."
Shen Yue smiled and said, "It is his own fault, and you are good to yourself. Your sincerity is as indestructible as a diamond, and like a white lotus that is indestructible. If you can understand this, you should have no regrets."
Li Gang was slightly startled, thought for a long time, and then sighed, "Mr. Shen is really wise. He can't explain the confusion that has lasted for many years in just one sentence."
At that moment, Li Gang actually felt respectful.
A person who does not know but is not stunned is not a gentleman. This is what Confucius said.
The meaning of this sentence is that even if others don't understand you, you will not be angry, then you are considered a gentleman.
Confucius' definition of a gentleman may seem low, but there are really not many people in the world who can achieve this.
You know that the other person is at fault. If it is an unrelated person, you can turn a blind eye. But if it is someone close to you and you advise your relatives and relatives but do not change it, you will face this mistake all day long and disturb you, just like a mosquito circling around you, but you cannot
It was difficult not to feel upset at that time if I had to deal with this problem.
It is difficult to say that there is no resentment, but it is difficult to have no resentment.
This was Li Gang's original intention. He was an upright person. Because of his uprightness, he responded to what Confucius said and lamented that I knew it but couldn't do it.
Don't want Shen Yue to suddenly realize with just one word, why do you have to force the other person to correct it? It's hard for you to make the world run correctly, but you can make yourself firm and untainted in your heart.
It was precisely after understanding this meaning that Li Gang was really in awe of Shen Yue, so he changed the title of "Gongzi" to "Mr."
The ministers were in awe, how many people in the world can be called "sir" by Li Gang?
Shen Yue noticed Li Gang's change and said calmly, "Sir, sir, it has nothing to do with me."
Li Gang sighed softly, "Good view, good view."
He is an upright and strong man, and he also studies Buddhism. He quickly understood Shen Yue's intention. My mind is as bright and clear as the sky, and it will never change. The change in your name for me only reflects the turmoil in your heart.
"Mr. Shen..."
Li Gang understood Shen Yue's intention, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "This is the case with family affairs, and the same is true with state affairs."
Shen Yue said slowly, "It seems that Mr. Li is not optimistic about starting a war with Jin?"
Everyone was surprised.
Li Gang was also surprised.
But everyone was surprised because they knew that Li Gang was the main militant faction. Why did Shen Yue say that Li Gang was not optimistic about starting a war? What surprised Li Gang was that Shen Yue revealed his sincerity.
"Why did Mr. Shen say this?" Li Gang asked deliberately.
Shen Yue smiled, "Lord Li must have known about the Song and Jin affairs, that there was no possibility of peace and no solution to the war, so he tried to get the emperor to give in and calm the world's resentment. Only then could he call on the soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty to unite and fight against the Jin people? Li
If your Majesty is optimistic that the Song Dynasty will win, why should you ask your Majesty to give in?"
What he didn't say was that Li Gang's real intention was that although you, Zhao Ji, want to fight against the Jin Dynasty, the people have been resentful of you for too long and don't want to play with you anymore. Only by changing the leader can success be possible.
Zhao Ji's face turned slightly red.
Li Gang was silent for a moment and finally said, "Mr. Shen is a great talent, and what he said is exactly what Bucai meant."
Someone on the side suddenly shouted, "Li Gang, what you said is really rebellious. The Jin people are just barbarians. We, the Song Dynasty, are the lords of the Central Plains. If the barbarians do what they do, if my lord is forced to abdicate and spread, wouldn't it be a big joke?"
Someone nodded slightly.
Shen Yue looked towards the person who spoke, saw that the person had a white face and a beard, and asked, "Who is this?"
Li Gang thought to himself, how dare you, a gentleman in the court, only know the emperor?
"This is Lord Tong Guan, Privy Councilor." When Li Gang introduced him, he observed Shen Yue's face.
Although Shen Yue knew about the six thieves in the capital, he had only seen Li Yan and Cai Jing among the six thieves so far. It was a little strange to see Tong Guan's white face and black beard.
As far as he knew, Tong Guan was the concubine.
"媪" means an older woman, so naturally "媫" means that Tong Guan is a eunuch!
The eunuch's beard actually grows well?
There is something strange about this person’s body!
