The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1557

[1557. Chapter 1479 The big thing is done]

Zhu Zaimo smiled slightly and said: “My eldest father wants Sun Chen to answer this question. Can you let Sun Chen take a look at this memorial?”

Emperor Hongzhi was looking forward to Zhu Zaimo.

He nodded with a gentle face.

Zhu Zaimo picked up the memorial, glanced at it, then looked at Xiao Jing with a smile and said, “Actually…Jiang Yan is not stupid.”

Xiao Jing was stunned.

Isn’t this stupid enough?

“Everyone has his own understanding.” Zhu Zaimo said: “Some people are born with good clothes and fine food, and they can’t see what ordinary people are like. The people they associate with are all noble people. This is why their mentor’s withdrawal of stolen goods arouses their public anger, because such withdrawal of stolen goods is cutting off their flesh. In their view, this is unreasonable. How can they get less money just because they invested more money? What about giving them money? The same is true for Jiang Yan. Not only does he feel it is unreasonable, but the relatives and friends he has made are all well-off and well-fed like him, and they are also victims. Naturally, he takes it for granted. This is unfair.”

“So, Jiang Yan had the opportunity to redistribute the stolen money. He must have found many people to read this charter, and who were the people he found? There is no need for me to tell you. When they saw this charter, they were not only very happy, but also raised their thumbs and praised Jiang Yan for being a person who understood the general situation. Jiang Yan agreed with this charter, and this charter was obtained. Countless people applauded. In his opinion, isn’t this the best way in the world? “

” Dad, Sun Chen was even thinking that Jiang Yan must be extremely proud at this time. He must think that Dad and everyone around him Just like that, he would applaud such a charter, and he still hopes that his eldest father will favor him.”

After Xiao Jing heard this, he thought for a moment, and it turned out to be true.

At this time, Zhu Zaimo continued: “This… is also the reason why my mentor asked Sun Chen to make more friends with the three religions and nine schools. My mentor once said that the founding emperors of the past dynasties were often saints. This is because most of these emperors originated from Being born in the grass, rather than growing up in a deep palace, you are born in the grass and surrounded by the three religions and nine schools, so you naturally know what the world is like. In the Han Dynasty, there was an emperor named Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. This man was because of a prince’s rebellion during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. , so he lived among the people, but he was made emperor by Huo Guang by chance. After that, he became a wise king and revived the Han Dynasty. His mentor often mentioned this person, saying that Sun Chen’s luck was better than that of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty who originally lived among the people. , The situation is ten times and a hundred times better. My mentor hopes that Sun Chen will become a person like Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty in the future. Therefore, he should let Sun Chen be like Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, and spend more time to experience the sufferings of the people, listen more, and see more, Xiao What kind of life are the people living and what are they thinking about? “

” So… When he gets older, let Sun Chen know how all the industries in the world work, how medicine is developed, how scholars study, and how the fields work. How to grow food, how to produce textiles, how to get orders… these are all university knowledge, and they are many times better than the so-called experience of the emperor in Zizhi Tongjian. Lessons, so-called tactics, have been learned by all emperors since the Song Dynasty, but how many of them have truly become virtuous kings? “

“Jiang Yan, this person is Sun Chen’s lesson, he only listens to it and believes it ?

, living in their own self-righteous cave, like a frog at the bottom of a well, using their so-called righteousness and uprightness to deceive others, but they are also greedy, stingy, and cunning. If such people gain power, they will definitely bring disaster to the world. But…such people, How many people are high up in the temple and have high authority?”

These words shocked Xiao Jing.

The emperor and grandson could actually explain the truth so clearly that he couldn’t understand.

Looking at his grandson.

Emperor Hongzhi’s eyes were full of joy, and he kept nodding his head and said: “Yes, yes, I didn’t understand this truth before. It wasn’t until I saw all kinds of things in the world that I realized how powerful it is. My good grandson, my good grandson, you are better than you.” “My father is stronger.”

Zhu Zaimo fell to the ground and said, “My father’s words were wrong again. Sun Chen used to think that he was stronger than his father, but since he went to the research institute and the medical school, After going to the steam engine workshop, I realized that my father’s intelligence was truly unparalleled in the world. Sun Chen could understand these simple principles in a few words, but Sun Chen might not be able to peek into the vast ocean of knowledge even if he spent his whole life. The reason why my father didn’t bother to think about these so-called ‘principles’ was because to him, what he mastered was the greatest knowledge in the world. Sun Chen… sometimes thought that his father was so wise that he was almost a monster. Why is Sun Chen so stupid after giving birth?”

He looked distressed.

He solved many problems to the point of ecstasy.

He thought that his ability to accept many principles was already very strong, but he always needed to be explained again and again before he could barely understand them.

But as for his father, as soon as he slapped his forehead, a new concept was born, so… he gained new knowledge.

The only person who can compare with his father is his mentor.

Others…are just floating clouds. Even the top scholar or the great scholar are just parrots who read against the so-called experience and books of their predecessors. They are not worthy of carrying shoes in front of their mentors and fathers.

The smile on Emperor Hongzhi’s lips became even brighter.

His grandson is still very filial. Although he has some opinions about his son, it is a good thing for son and grandson to get along with each other.

Emperor Hongzhi was in a much better mood and couldn’t help but said: “You have said so much about your father, how do you compare me to your father?”

This question seems a bit misleading…

Zhu Zai Mo shook his head in distress. It seemed that in everyone’s life, they would face a question: do you like your father or your mother, or whether you want to drown your wife or your biological mother. I don’t know what kind of unscrupulous person came up with it.

Zhu Zaimo pursed his lips and said, “Sun Chen dare not speak.”

He did not want to deceive the king.

Emperor Hongzhi encouraged him: “It doesn’t matter if you say it.”

Zhu Zaimo could only say: “My eldest father is far inferior to his father.”

Emperor Hongzhi’s smiling face suddenly froze, and then the smile slowly disappeared, and his good mood fell instantly. .

Xiao Jing, who was standing aside, couldn’t help but cough. Look at this kid, he can’t even lie to others.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Zaimo resentfully, feeling that he felt sorry for such a grandson in vain.

But as an emperor and an elder, he couldn’t allow himself to be too stingy.

Emperor Hongzhi had no choice but to take a deep breath, and then forced a smile: “That’s right… Then, according to you, since Jiang Yan has been mentioned in the memorial, how should I deal with it.”

When it came to business, Zhu Zaimo was very serious. Seriously: “Leave the memorial without sending it, let’s see what he does next?”

Emperor Hongzhi nodded: “Leave it without sending it!”

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Zaimo deeply: “I also have this intention, I just want to Look, how selfish my ministers can be.”

Zhu Zaimo also looked at Emperor Hongzhi with deep meaning: “It may be more terrifying than my father imagined.”

…

The charter was handed over, but nothing came of it. His Majesty did not respond at all.

Jiang Yan was sitting in the hall of his mansion.

This hall was already overcrowded.

In the past, there were only a few people here, but now it is full of people.

People who come to visit are like crucian carp crossing the river.

Even the ordinary Hanlin could only stand in a corner.

Jiang Yan held the tea cup and took a sip of tea. He looked around and frowned, “What do you mean by your majesty now?”

“Mr. Jiang, I thought that your majesty just had some complaints against Gong Jiang.”

Everyone here The person is already anxious.

I finally got hope. I have to return this money quickly. It is only 40% of the silver. If I don’t pay it back, how will I live? After all, my mansion is so big and I have to support so many slaves. How many rooms are there in my house? The wives and concubines, even the dogs raised at home, have to be fed with several kilograms of meat. If the money is not returned, there will be no rice to cook, and they will not be able to survive.

The speaker was Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Industry. He said calmly: “Think about it, Mr. Jiang. Your Majesty has appointed Mr. Jiang as an imperial envoy. But as for Mr. Jiang, there has still been no progress. He asks your Majesty for instructions on everything. What will your majesty think after reading the charter? What he is thinking is, why is Mr. Jiang so forward-looking and hesitant when doing things? So far, there is no clue about such a trivial matter. If you need your majesty’s approval in everything, then your majesty, Mr. Jiang, is an imperial envoy. What’s the use?”

After this person said it, others also started to make noises: “Yes, the evil government of Qi State and the anger of heaven and people have already caused people all over the world to complain. If you don’t believe it, Brother Jiang went around to inquire, and there is no one who doesn’t complain. ? Now is the time to change course, why are you still hesitating? “

” Act according to the rules immediately, don’t hesitate any longer, if you are a man, you must make a decision.”

Everyone was excited.

After listening to Jiang Yan, he seemed to think it was reasonable. Does Your Majesty think he is verbose?

In order to handle this imperial case, Jiang Yan went through a detailed investigation. Not only did he ask the people around him, but all the people around him criticized Qi Guogong for returning the stolen goods. He was still uneasy, and even invited some friends and relatives to ask questions, and they all said that his charter was really wonderful.

The opinions of colleagues, old friends, relatives, and scholars around me all applauded him. Although there were occasional discordant opinions, they were only a handful.

That being the case…

Jiang Yan snapped at the case and said, “Follow the rules and issue an official document to order all government agencies to act accordingly. This matter is of great importance and requires everyone’s full help. I heard that some unruly people refuse to return the money.” Money, this is really stupid, these unscrupulous people are the most abominable, kill a few first, and kill one to serve as a warning to others!”
