The prime minister, Shang Rong, stepped forward to report: "Your Majesty. Although Chonghou Hu is in charge of the North, his kindness and trust have not yet been honored by others. I am afraid that this trip will fail to extend the court's mighty virtue; it is not as good as Xibo Jichang, benevolence and righteousness have always been heard. If your majesty is fake Xibohou Using the Yue to command the two armies, Yuan Futong can be captured to rectify his crimes without harming the people and laborers."
Su Ze smiled and said: "Prime Minister, I know how cruel Chonghou Hu is; I also know how Xibohou is praised by others."
"There are two people, Beibohou and Xibohou, with the same status. How to manage the subordinate land should not be a matter for you to discuss; from the court's point of view, whoever has done more meritorious service will be rewarded, and whoever is obedient will be rewarded. This is the policy of the emperor."
"A widow can rule the world by listening to the words of the ministers, but the ministers cannot rule the princes by listening to the words of the ministers. Does the Prime Minister understand?"
Prime Minister Shang Rong was startled when he heard this, and bowed his head: "I am guilty, please punish me, Your Majesty."
Abigan hesitated to speak, but Taishi Wenzhong frowned and looked at Shangrong, Bigan, Weiziqi, Jizi and others—the king didn't open his mouth, but he didn't realize that there was something wrong with their mentality!
The ministers are supposed to be loyal servants of the king. How the king orders the princes, whether harsh or rewarding, should be the monarch and ministers' wholeheartedly dealing with the princes.
Shang Rong, Bigan and others judged the morality of the princes of the four towns, thinking that Xibohou has high morality and can be entrusted with important tasks.
What behavior is this?Violation of authority and dereliction of duty!
It is the king's exclusive power to judge the princes of the four towns and how to appoint or restrict them; to decide who to grant power based on morality and personal preference, that is not a qualified courtier, and it is completely dereliction of duty.
Why didn't I find out before that these people have a problem?
Wen Zhong was a little puzzled.
In fact, it is not only them who have problems, but also the whole book "Fengshen Yanyi", including the author Xu Zhonglin - Xu Zhonglin lived in the late Ming Dynasty when the party struggle was the most intense, and was a southern scholar who lived in the Donglin Party. In the base camp, the ears and eyes are all used to scold political opponents with moral issues, so this "Fengshen Yanyi" is really in the style of the "moral gentleman" of the Donglin Party.
For people of the same path, the "virtue" advocated is ability; it is reasonable to spread rumors about King Zhou's embezzlement and arranging all the cruelties of the faint kings of the past dynasties.
However, Xu Zhonglin plagiarized some poems from "Journey to the West". Her writing style is quite average, and her moral character is not very good.
He is strict with others and lenient with himself. He is really a perfect scholar under the Donglin Party.
## Chapter 821 Talented and Stranger
Wen Zhong was surprised, but Su Ze was not so surprised.
At present, the Shangtang court seems to be extremely stable, but in fact, the courtiers mentioned Xibohou Jichang as "highly respected, and must not be harmed". If Su Ze kills Xibohou, he will definitely be labeled as a "faint emperor" immediately, and all the courtiers are angry.
The story of "Fengshen Yanyi" is probably the epitome of the Donglin Party written by the author Xu Zhonglin inadvertently.Compared with the late Ming Dynasty, the Donglin Party was agitating for public opinion, frequently calling the emperor of the Ming Dynasty a foolish monarch, while the members of the Donglin Party were all "highly respected" and "highly respected" and "the world looked forward to it", advocating each other - with King Zhou, The treatment of Xibo Hou Jichang is really too similar.
That is to say, Shang Tang at the moment is almost equivalent to the "All Zheng Ying Chao" of the Donglin Party.
These honest gentlemen are a bit strange: they keep saying that for Shangtang Sheji, once King Zhou wants to centralize power to deal with the princes, they will all stand on the side of the princes, especially Xibohou Jichang, as if Xibohou supported them to grow up, supported them to study, and let them It's like coming to court to be an official.
Xibo Houde is highly respected, benevolence and righteousness are well known in the world, it is simply nonsense.Most of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty disobeyed their emperor and called their emperor a "faint emperor" because of the good reputation of a certain warlord, then something serious would happen.
Any king who knows that his warlord is so good, it's no wonder he can sit still!
There is no doubt that the positions of these ministers are a bit crooked-on the surface they seem to be advocating "people in the world" and "people's aspirations" all day long, but aren't they just fighting against the old master for the new master?
Therefore, Su Ze has to deal with not only external turmoil, but also internal reasons of discord.Moreover, it is absolutely impossible to use benevolent government and accommodate all the demands of the officials.
Turning his mind around, Su Ze nodded slightly when he saw that Grand Master Wen Zhong and Wu Cheng Wang Huang Feihu hadn't been brainwashed by the poisonous propaganda of "Xibohou Rende".
At least this article and one martial arts are still sober at this moment.
"Prime Minister Shang Rong, do you know where your mistakes are?" Su Ze said.
Shang Rong said in a low voice: "I shouldn't meddle in your majesty's decision and listen to foreign ministers in vain."
Su Ze said: "Think about it carefully. Everyone says Beibohou is cruel and Xibohou Rende. How many times have you been to Beidi and Xiqi? Do you know them?"
"Even if you know them well and know that one of them is indeed cruel and the other is benevolent, have you ever thought about what is good and what is bad for Shang Tang Jiye and the imperial court?"
"Whether the moral character is good or not, does it have anything to do with them leading the army to fight and winning thousands of miles?"
Shang Rong was surprised: "Your Majesty, how can it be irrelevant? Benevolence and virtue are widespread, so naturally all people admire and the common people respect, and you can surrender without fighting..."
Su Ze was a little speechless, and said in his heart: Here we come, here we come, Donglin Party's traditional theory of morality is invincible, it is not right for people, here it is.
This prime minister, Shang Rong, turned out to be such an old minister.
Looking at Wen Zhong, Wen Zhong's face is full of opinions that he is too lazy to refute - this is too scholarly, nonsense.
Wu Cheng Wang Huang Feihu turned his face away, quite embarrassed to hear it.
Yabi Gan and the others bowed their heads, not knowing whether they agree with Shang Rong or not.
"Shang Rong, you are also a veteran of the two dynasties who is good at government affairs. It is not easy for you to be able to speak innocent words about morality and ability."
Su Ze said lightly: "Since you are a benevolent person, Shang Rong, and you also think Xibohou is the lord of benevolence, you might as well go to Xibohou's tent to obey orders. I think your abilities will skyrocket, and you don't have to worry about widows anymore. From now on, the small imperial court of Shangtang will be invincible in the world."
Only then did Shang Rong realize where he was wrong, and quickly kowtowed.
"I have absolutely no such intentions! Absolutely no such intentions! Shengming is benevolent, and there is no king in the world!"
"If your Majesty suspects that I have two hearts, I am willing to bump my head to death here to prove my innocence!"
Su Ze doesn't doubt Shang Rong's loyalty, but he has to use these words to wake up the officials who have been dazed by the "original setting" to save them from being very entangled. Is it the benevolent Xibohou who is important, or Important court affairs.
Because of Su Ze's point of view, Shang Rong is indeed a bit different from the original one, and Bigan and the others are also thoughtful.
You are loyal to Shangtang in Shangtang Chaoge. I heard that a warlord in Shangtang is so benevolent and moral. It’s fine if you don’t raise your guard. You are all influenced by the benevolence and morality of the warlord. Isn’t this nonsense? !
After beating them, Su Ze was not in a hurry to deal with them, and returned to the original topic.
"The matter of pacifying Yuan Futong will be entrusted to Beibohou and Xibohou to send troops to quell it. The imperial court will provide food and grass, as well as capable people and strangers, but there is one thing, regardless of victory or defeat, no private negotiations can be made."
By saying this, Su Ze is also learning from the original book.
