The second is a bit later, this chapter is not easy to write too much, brother really tried his best, don't blame it!Let me say one more thing: give the monthly pass to Xiaoliu!
-

On July 38th, the [-]th year of Kangxi, it was sunny, and along with the eunuchs shouting "go up to the court", the courtiers marched in small steps to face the rising sun, lined up in three rows, and entered the main hall of the Qianqing Palace one by one. Kneeling and kowtowing, after three shouts of long live, the old man Kangxi sat on the dragon chair and said: "You are flat." Everyone kowtowed again, and said in unison: "Thank you for long live." Everyone stood up and stood up.Everyone knew in their hearts that today's morning court was extraordinary. The courtiers who wanted to perform in the hall had already sharpened their swords and guns and were ready to show their hands, and those who planned to watch the excitement had already recharged their spirits and were ready to watch the show.

Miao Tong and Mr. Miao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, took the lead and knelt down in the tunnel, saying: "The old minister has a book to write to His Majesty. Since the Three Emperors Kaitai, Yao and Shun, the etiquette has been established to educate the people. It is the rule of saints. Later, there will be... Don't dare to lie to the Holy Majesty, risk your life to hear about it." Miao Tong is worthy of being a number one scholar, and his essays are excellent, full of flowers and flowers, parallel to four couples, not to mention the neatness of the battle, he is also very particular about the use of allusions, plus this elder Nian educated the children of the royal family, and his speech was full of emotion and emotion, which was really touching. If it weren't for this place being the Golden Luan Palace, the applause would have already been everywhere.

Hehe, Mr. Miao's knowledge is not good, but his writing style is excellent. In today's world, there are not many people who can compare with it.Although Yin Zuo disagreed with Miao Tong's point of view, he did not deny that this old man's writing style was first-class in the world, and in terms of writing style, it was still a bit higher than his own, but good writing style is one thing, and whether it makes sense is another On the other hand, Yinzuo asked himself that he could easily refute it, but this is not the time for Yinzuo to come forward-after all, Yinzuo is Miao Tong's student. Although his status is much higher than that of Miao Tong, this era pays attention to Just to respect the teacher, if Yinzuo jumped out to have a debate with Mr. Miao right now, he would inevitably be gossiped by others. Moreover, the opponent of Yinzuo today is not Mr. Miao, the master. He hasn't shown up yet, so it's not appropriate to make a premature move.

Yin Zuo didn't show up, but it doesn't mean that others can't come forward. As soon as Mr. Miao's words fell, Shi Shilun stood up, knelt down behind Mr. Miao's side, and said loudly: "I dare not agree with Mr. Miao's words. There is a book for Your Majesty: In the past, the king of Wen created Zhou rites to teach the four directions, but he never neglected business. Guanzi enriched the country with business. Although the Song Dynasty was commercial, the rituals were not abandoned... I think that even though the business is a small way, there is still something to be done, and the country is strong and the people are rich. Canglin knows etiquette with truth, and the ancients never deceived me.” Shi Shilun’s excerpt is exactly the one written by Yinzuo and embellished by Lin Xuanyi. , the facts are like mountains, and the full text is impeccable like flowing water.

As soon as Shi Shilun finished speaking, Lang Mingyue, the new imperial censor of the right capital, immediately came out and said: "I disagree with Master Shi's words, and I also have a book to tell your majesty: Although the former Qi became rich because of business, it was later defeated because of business. Businessmen are profit-seeking people, without faith and without justice. The sage said: "Although businessmen are small, there are bound to be those who can be seen. If you go far, you will be afraid of mud, so a gentleman will not do it..." Lang Mingyue is a slave under the prince's family. Although people are greedy, they are still worthy Cai, after all, was born as a Jinshi in the two rankings, and the article is very passable. Although the name of Yinzuo is not mentioned in the whole article, the words all imply that Yinzuo is a profit-seeking villain.Although Yinzuo was angry in his heart, his face showed no intention of fighting back. After all, the master hadn't appeared yet, and it was meaningless to fight the lackeys below.

Fan Shijie stood up and said in a loud voice: "I don't agree with Lord Lang's words, but I also have this letter to your Majesty: in the past, there was Xian Gao rewarding cattle and retreating from the Qin army, and later Han Guangwu destroyed his family to relieve difficulties and rejuvenated the Han Dynasty. There are also great chivalrous men... I think that if there is no business, the country will not be rich, but if the business is governed by law and the people are taught by rites, the world will be happy, and the society will be lucky."

"The minister also has a book to play." Dali Temple Minister Xiao Yaoqian also stood up, and he opened his mouth with a long speech.

.......
All the courtiers in the court played one after another, each expressing their opinions, and a large group fell to their knees for a while. At the beginning, they each said their own things, but later it almost became a quarrel. No one can convince anyone, each cites scriptures, and uses ancient examples to explain things. Generally speaking, people on Miao Tong's side attack businessmen as immoral, emphasizing that the country should not encourage business, and should be based on the words of the sages. The country is locked up; while the side headed by Shi Shilun advocates emphasizing agriculture rather than business, and proposes to improve commercial laws, encourage circulation, promote business according to law, and rule business by law.

Grandpa Kangxi got a headache from the noise and snorted coldly. The hall immediately fell silent, and the courtiers knelt on the ground and said in unison: "Your servants respectfully invite the Holy Judge!"

Grandpa Kangxi frowned and was about to say something when Crown Prince Yinreng stood up from the chair on the right side of the imperial platform and said, "Huang Ama, my son thinks that emphasizing agriculture and commerce is the difference between a gentleman and a villain. At present, although merchants are temporarily beneficial to enrich the national treasury, merchants have nothing to do. If they are the first to re-merchant, they are afraid that the etiquette will be lost. If the etiquette is lost, the world will be chaotic and the country will be in danger. Ma taught, learn the way of a sage, and dare not forget righteousness for the sake of profit, please learn from Emperor Ama."

Hey, look at the impatient look of the second child, it's really cute, he's full of words and righteousness, he really looks like a gentleman, hey, since you jumped out, it's time for us to make a move, look at us You set up a cover and let the old man teach you a lesson.Yinzuo despised the prince fiercely in his heart, strode out, knelt down in front of all the ministers and said: "Emperor Ama, my ministers have a scripture: the sage teaches the world with rites, and governs the country with the law. It's nothing more than human feelings. Whether or not businessmen communicate is in line with the laws of human nature and nature. It is really indispensable. Although there are lawbreakers flooding them, if legislation is used to restrict them and law enforcement is strict, it is not a blessing for the community. I really disagree."

"Sixth brother, what you say sounds reasonable, but it's actually absurd. Didn't you hear that if the etiquette is corrupted, the country will perish, and the embankment of thousands of miles will be destroyed by an ant's nest?" The prince said immediately.

Good boy, I have resisted us, hey, I have been waiting for you, Xiao Mian, are you better than me in endorsement?Yinzuo secretly laughed in his heart, but his face was very calm, and he said calmly: "The sage certainly teaches the people with rites, but he must take the law as the yardstick. If the law is not good, if the legislation is rigorous and the law is strictly enforced, why worry about villains, rites educate people, and the law regulates people, then the world will be ruled. Although the emperor Ama and his sons are not talented, they are willing to contribute their meager strength to the soundness of business law .”

"Sixth brother's remarks are absurd. Haven't you heard that severe punishment and harsh laws are the way to subjugate the country? The laws of oppressing the Qin Dynasty are harsh, burning books and burying Confucianism, corrupting ethics, and perishing in the second generation. Sixth brother's words are trying to mislead the country?" The prince said with a sneer.

The prince himself was happy to say it, but he didn't know that he violated the big taboo of the old man Kangxi - the old man always advertised that he was lenient to others, but in fact he valued the law very much. It is one thing for the old man to forgive others, but he attaches great importance to the law. It's the same thing. Literary inquisition has been carried out several times. The most taboo thing is that someone uses Qin Shihuang's burning of books and burying Confucianism as an example. Hearing the prince's smooth talk, the angry look on his face flashed past, and his voice was calm. He said: "The law is nothing more than human feelings, but how can anything that goes against human feelings last for a long time? Yinfeng, how do you read your book? Huh?"

It has been more than ten years since Yinreng went to the court to listen to the government. This is the first time that the old man Kangxi reprimanded the prince in court. Although the words are not serious, they are the first time since the beginning of the world. Thinking about the holy will, thinking about his family's position, but not sure if the crown prince fell out of favor, no one dared to say anything more for a while, the hall was quiet and there was no sound at all.Grandpa Kangxi glanced at the ministers, and said in a calm voice: "My intention has been decided, Zhunyi County Wang Yinzuo played, the matter of sea bans should not be discussed again, and the business law is jointly formulated by the General Administration of Customs and the Ministry of Rites. In addition, Yijun County Wang Xian Iron and Steel Plant has made meritorious service, and he named his son Hongyang as the son of Gushan." As soon as the old man Kangxi finished speaking, he got up and left, and the eunuch Qin Wuyong, who was standing beside him, immediately shouted: "Retire from the court!"

Grandpa Kangxi left, and the officials in the hall who were kneeling in a daze looked at each other and dispersed boredly.Yinzuo won the appreciation but there was no excitement in his heart - the old man couldn't help but interfere in our family affairs in the end, he made Hongyang a son, didn't this force us to make Hongyang the eldest son ?But the old man's golden mouth had already been opened, and there was no possibility of refusing at all. Although Yinzuo was annoyed, he couldn't do anything about it. He had to hold on to his smiling face and greet the courtiers who came to congratulate him, which was really depressing.

Not to mention that Yinzuo was not happy, Yinreng was reprimanded by the old man in court, felt ashamed, ignored the gang of slaves under him, and walked into the harem a little bit distraught, feeling very depressed in his heart, and walked casually Then, unconsciously, he turned to the gate of Jingyang Palace, and suddenly heard the sound of a piano, which was elegant and pleasant, and he was immediately attracted. After taking a look, he realized that he was standing at the gate of Jingyang Palace. He was stunned for a while, then turned around and asked the little eunuch He Zhuer who was following him, "Who lives in this palace?"

"Returning to Your Highness, it is the newcomer Xiao Guiren. This lady Xiao plays the piano well. I heard that she is the young daughter of Master Xiao Zihe, the piano attendant." He Zhuer smiled flatteringly.

"Oh?" Yinreng nodded, thought for a while but didn't say anything, and walked towards Yuqing Palace on his own, only the beautiful melody whirled softly in the deep palace...
