After the rebirth, the empress took the tragic script of Meiqiang

Chapter 61 Argument

"Your Majesty asked me why I want to arrest Wang Lisong. It's very simple. It's because he has objections to the Chunwei Yijia I drafted and doesn't agree to grade the papers according to my request." Gu Shihai sneered and said, "Of course, I heard that in previous years he

There were also objections, but in previous years he had submitted a memorial and asked himself to withdraw from the Spring Examination. This year he suddenly refused and insisted on participating in the examination, embarrassing the minister."

"As for Li Wenqing, he doesn't know anything and just talks nonsense in the court. So I gave him a little reminder and told him to keep his mouth shut. If he hadn't spoken up, His Majesty would not have been involved. Later,

Many things will not happen, and your Majesty can still be a happy emperor in the harem at this moment."

Hearing this, Ye Qinghuai suddenly asked: "Get involved? What does Mr. Gu Ge mean by this? Does Mr. Gu Ge think that I should stand on the dry bank and watch? Watching my imperial army killing innocent people indiscriminately, slashing with swords

To my people?"

Gu Shihai sneered, raised his hand and pointed at the kneeling crowd, saying: "Killing innocent people indiscriminately? Your Majesty thinks these people are innocent? What they question is the entire system of Dajing, and what they want to shake is the foundation of Dajing's country! Your Majesty also

Do you think they are innocent?"

"Old Gu Ge's words are exaggerated! They just want fairness and justice, why would they go so far as to go online?"

"Fairness? Your Majesty was born with fine clothes and good food, but some people are born without enough food. There is no fairness in this world! Fairness is only what we give them, and they can't take anything from us!"

Ye Qinghuai was speechless for a moment by what he said.

"By following these people to rebel against the imperial court, does Your Majesty expect these scholars to open up new territories for Your Majesty, or do you expect them to eliminate the officials? I tell Your Majesty that once these people who have suffered from poverty and hunger since childhood get into high positions, they will only

Officials will search for people's wealth even more intensively than the current officials."

Ye Qinghuai interrupted Gu Shihai and said: "If this is the case, then it is not a problem of people, but a problem of the system."

A determined light flashed in her eyes: "If it is a problem of people, I will get rid of such people. If it is a problem of the system, I will abolish such a system. If it is a problem of the political code, I will modify the political code.

"

Gu Shihai seemed to be stunned for a moment, with a hint of hatred in his eyes, and sneered: "Shu Zi is nonsense! All the laws and regulations in the three provinces and six departments were hammered out by the Holy Ancestor over and over again. How can you say that they can be changed if they are changed?"

Ye Qinghuai lowered his eyes and muttered: "The regulations set by the Holy Ancestor were naturally the golden rules of the time. But not all the words of the Holy Ming are universal principles in ancient and modern times. When children grow up, the clothes they wore when they were children no longer exist.

It fits, not to mention legal regulations? When the Holy Ancestor Emperor founded the country, our Dajing population was only nine million, with 50 million acres of arable land. But now we have more than 30 million registered people, 200 million acres of arable land, and the establishment of the state, government, and departments

It is also far more complicated than it was in the days of the saintly ancestors. Today is different from the past. If laws and regulations continue to stick to the past and copy the sages, it will be like a seven-year-old child forced to wear three-year-old clothes."

Gu Shihai originally thought that Ye Qinghuai was just speaking out of anger, but he didn't expect that she had thought so deeply and could make such a reply. He couldn't help but be startled for a moment, then shook his head slightly and murmured: "Sure enough, she is still childish.

"

Then, he looked at the crowd behind Ye Qinghuai and said, "Is your Majesty's move today to pave the way for the imperial court to abolish the old and reform?"

Ye Qinghuai also looked back at the crowd behind him.

"No, I haven't thought that far, I just don't want to betray their trust. Moreover," Ye Qinghuai said with a determined expression, "No matter which dynasty or generation, what causes and consequences, the swords and guns in the hands of soldiers will never

It should be directed at defenseless people."

"Mr. Gu Ge, you are right, people are inherently unfair. But those in high positions must also shoulder corresponding responsibilities and pressures. As the emperor, I need to work hard and reflect on myself all the time. If

If you relax for a moment, you may be beheaded by the rebels who rush into the city, or you may be infamy for thousands of years in the annals of history. Mr. Gu Ge asked me why I rebelled, and what I did today was just to avoid these two things.

It just happened."

Because she has experienced it herself.

Gu Shihai said: "What your Majesty wants is a peaceful world and a harmonious court. Unfortunately, if the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if the people are careful, there will be no disciples."

Ye Qinghuai shook his head: "What I want is not that kind of court. That kind of court does not exist. What I want is just a poor man who has someone to rely on, a poor man who has no help, and a man who works hard.

Politicians have their own way of doing things. How can I not know the truth that if the water is clear, there will be no fish? It’s just,” Ye Qinghuai’s voice changed, and he said solemnly, “Even if the water cannot be clear, it can’t be turbid either!”

Ye Qinghuai pointed at the crowd behind him and said: "If the imperial court still had some conscience, these people would not gather here today. The people of Dajing have always been submissive. If they were not forced, there would be no way to survive.

, they will not come to the palace to make trouble. The fact that these students can gather here to play the Dengwen drum shows that the world's officials have no way out!"

Ye Qinghuai put down his hand and said sternly: "Does Mr. Gu Ge feel satisfied with such a court?"

Gu Shihai looked at Ye Qinghuai, with some disappointment in his eyes that the people were not in harmony with each other. He asked calmly: "Does Your Majesty have to side with the rebels?"

Ye Qinghuai also calmed down. She looked at Gu Shihai and asked word by word: "Does Mr. Gu Ge have to stand opposite me?"

Gu Shihai's expression seemed to waver for a moment, but soon it was covered by a self-deprecating smile, and turned into the kind of eyes that were mixed with a bit of hatred and disdain.

"How is Your Majesty going to deal with this matter?" He looked at the crowd around him and asked Ye Qinghuai.

"First, the Ministry of Punishment immediately releases the detained students; second, Chunwei's results are cancelled, and Jin's exam is re-examined; third, Wang Lisong is asked to go to court to present his case, and the case is re-tried; fourth, the matter of the replacement of criminals in the Third Division is investigated." Ye Qinghuai was categorical.

road.

Gu Shihai listened to everything one by one, paused briefly, and suddenly laughed and said: "Your Majesty, why bother so much? It would be better to dismiss the ministers directly."

Ye Qinghuai did not speak, but stared at the laughing Gu Shihai seriously.

Gu Shihai looked at Ye Qinghuai's serious look with some amusement, and asked: "I am a little curious now. Your Majesty has nothing in your hands except the three thousand left Yamen guards and these useless scholars behind you. Where did your Majesty come from?"

With such confidence, do you think I would cut off my arms and let His Majesty do whatever I want?"

He squinted his eyes, looked at Ye Qinghuai, his eyes were as cold as frost, and asked: "Does your Majesty have any capital to negotiate with me?"

Ye Qinghuai's expression darkened and he said, "I can make Mr. Gu Ge's daughter my queen."
