Chapter 619: Exile in Shenzhou
Wang Yan was slightly stunned, a reluctant look flashed on his face, but he was not slow to get up at all, and it could even be said to be clean and neat. He glanced at the emperor Sima Zhong and a group of Sima kings and said seriously, "Of course, he ruled the world with loyalty and filial piety. I didn't expect that the Legalists had not been revived for a long time and had such insights. Wang Yan admired it."
"The Taiwei is the leader of metaphysics. Is this kind of judgment a bit forced now?" Sima Ji's pupils shrank slightly. To be honest, he was not prepared for Wang Yan's statement at all. Originally, he felt that Wang Yan, as the Taiwei, was also the leader of the entire metaphysics, and had a high status, so he had to grasp it and speak for the metaphysics.
But on the contrary, Wang Yan actually spoke for the pen-pal official who had been suppressed. Isn’t this a little too decisive?
"It's not forced at all. This is completely what I think. Even any court minister here, Wang Yan believes that he thinks so. As I just said, if the barbarians rebel, would ordinary soldiers choose to ignore everyone? If they just emphasize filial piety, wouldn't the country be invincible?" Wang Yan said with a righteous attitude, "When you take care of the small family and give up everyone, the old minister will not agree."
Wang Yan's statement was beyond everyone's expectations. Not only Sima Ji was not prepared, but even the students of the Imperial College were not prepared. In their opinion, Wang Yan must have said a few words for him, but he stood directly opposite him? It was simply outrageous.
Suddenly, a dissatisfied student spoke, "The Taiwei's words are too absolute. I forgot about Li Mi, the prefect of Hanzhong during the reign of Emperor Wu. The expressions of his confession are touching, and even Emperor Wu personally ordered the reward."
"The Taiwei didn't say that filial piety is not important. Loyalty and filial piety can be achieved at the same time." Sima Ji sighed inwardly and must have seen that the royal family wanted to support the Fa-rectification, and directly shrank. He even ignored his position as a metaphysical leader. He would rather be criticized than confront the royal family. Now he had to speak for him.
"King of Yan Mingjian, the old minister just didn't say anything in his heart." When he saw Sima Ji expressing his opinion, Wang Yan breathed a sigh of relief and slowly sat back on his seat. This level was over.
But then again, who can end up with one end? The culprit of the destruction of the Battle of Ningping City once spoke out with justice to weaken the Ninth-rank Zhongzheng system. Considering his origin as the Wang family of Langya and his high-ranking official position, it is rare to be able to do this.
"The story of Li Mi, the prefect of Hanzhong, is just an exception. Emperor Wu is kind, but as far as I see, the Eastern Wu has not been destroyed, and as a prefect, he does not want to serve the country, but instead wants to resign. This so-called talent is not suitable for serving my great Jin Dynasty. He retires to the countryside to serve his elders. I wonder if you are all your mother alive?" Sima Ji felt that the time was almost the same, so he directly killed the other party with the question of loyalty and filial piety, and he kept defending endlessly.
At the critical moment, the referee still needs to end up. Sima Ji has to admit that his students are still a little immature. After all, they are all people trained by Yanshan Daying. If you want to play with Juncai from the Imperial College, you are still a little younger.
During the later debates on Taoism and Buddhism, Taoists praised "I will show two when the monk appears." A monk named Tanxian came out for the competition. Tanxian got drunk on the spot and sat upright. Two waiters helped Tanxian to the stage. Tanxian laughed and said, "I was drunk just now, and I heard in my ears: "There is one when the Buddhist appears, and the Taoist appears. Do you think this is true?"
The Taoist priest said: Take it seriously. Tan Xian stood up and said, "I have already shown one, you can show two." He raised his feet and left the ground naturally no one could do it. That was how the debate in Buddhism won.
Don’t think that the debate that represents two theories is so high-end. It is perfectly okay to catch a dog with pain in the foot and beat the water. Who said that you can’t be nonsense in such a serious occasion? You have to ask the King of Yan to be unable to bear it and ask for help in person?
After Sima Ji spoke, he almost made it clear which side the royal family was on, and also gave other royal kings a signal. They immediately told them with practical actions that you have been abandoned by the students of the highest institution of Great Jin. My great Jin now needs a more suitable idea for this dynasty.
King Sima Xi of Liang first said, "Since there is no loyalty, there is no so-called filial piety. If the Imperial College and the Imperial College are both such talented people, it would be no surprise that the chaos in Jiangnan was in the Gu Xiao family. They are all talented people who will serve their families in various prefectures and counties. Do you only know who the county magistrate is? I don't know who the emperor of the Great Jin?"
Sima Ji watched coldly. Some of Sima Xi's words were actually attacking the gentry high sects. In the Great Jin Dynasty, this was a matter of national conditions. However, since he entered Luoyang, this situation has actually been greatly alleviated. If there were ten gentry high sects in the Great Jin Dynasty before, at least seven of them have been killed.
As for some people who only know the local gentry and the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, Sima Ji completely believed that the world is so big that it is normal for a village that is not in conflict with the world and no one knows. There is a saying in the Book of Peach Blossom Spring, but they do not know that there is a Han Dynasty, regardless of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Tao Yuanming, who wrote the Book of Peach Blossom Spring, lived in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was the most prosperous time of the family.
"If we only emphasize filial piety and not loyalty, it would be better not to have such so-called talent." King Wuling Sima Xi rushed to attack after King Liang, which then caused a number of vassal kings to agree. "Just as the Legalists said, our Imperial School and Imperial School in the Great Jin Dynasty actually cultivated a group of talented people who had no understanding of the people. No wonder chaos happens frequently everywhere, and so many people are bewitched by Sima Yong."
Everyone knows that the Hejian King Sima Yong was executed after Sima Ji captured Yecheng. These vassal kings made a statement and did not forget to flatter Sima Ji, which also showed that they were in the same camp as the King of Yan.
The vassal kings kept saying and making trouble, confused these students of the Imperial College who felt good about themselves. Why did their students at the highest institution of the Great Jin Dynasty become unrealistic people in an instant? The day before, they were still pillars of the country, but now they are unrealistic. This change is simply unacceptable.
"At present, there is no need to debate. The frequent chaos shows that forces in various places can confront the court. If you do nothing, you will be able to reconcile and recuperate? It is better to establish a continuous system. It is more important to clarify the legal system. Only by restoring the authority of the court can these problems be solved. I wonder if the court officials here agree with my opinion?" Sima Ji finally stood up and asked the others.
"What the King of Yan said!" Wang Yan, Wang Rong, Wang Jun, Sun Qi and others all stood up and bowed. Among them, Wang Yan, Wang Rong is the Wang clan of Langya, and Wang Jun is the leader of the Wang clan of Taiyuan. After the Wang clan of Taiyuan was given a little by Sima Ji in Bingzhou, he is now Wang Jun as the representative of the Wang clan of Taiyuan. As for Sun Qi, he is the grandfather of the queen Yang Xianrong. He is still in a tough state, much stronger than Yang Xuanzhi, who was scared to death by Sima Ying.
With the support he wanted, Sima Ji, standing on the jade stairs, looked down at the two groups of people below, one side still remained calm, they were the students he trained. The other group was full of uneasiness. They were all students of the Imperial College and the Imperial College. The kings expressed their opinions, and they also understood the thoughts of the real people in power. Their own people were monkeys performing in front of big figures. Now the show has ended.
Before, they felt that they were sure to win. How could a theory that had no influence be the opponent of these talented people who were well-read in poetry and books? Indeed, under normal circumstances, the Legalists should not be the opponent, but it depends on who the people in power hope to win, right?
Dare to play conspiracy with Sima? I wonder what the royal relatives today started with. They are more skilled in the tricks than anyone else.
"Your Majesty?" When things were about to come, the students of the Imperial College and the Imperial College, who felt that something was wrong, knelt down and asked the emperor to uphold justice.
"Weishan, send the emperor and the central palace back to the palace!" Sima Ji waved his hand, and the royal kings behind him bowed to Sima Zhong's carriage, "Please go back to the palace to rest!"
No one was paying attention to the so-called talent below. Sima Ji told everyone in one sentence, who had the final say in this world. Without the host of the royal family, he established a domineering mansion, not to mention that all the royal family kings now listened to him.
The confusing pillar of the country did not know what fate he would face. Soon the Legalist's penman who took the blame for the injustice knives and bowed to Sima Ji, "King Yan, Confucianism still has its own attainments in advocating people to be kind. We think that Shenzhou has just been established and there are many barbarians in the territory. If Confucianism and metaphysics students are able to turn Hu into Xia, it is a good thing. As I said just now, it is difficult to let the barbarians know the meaning of loyalty for the time being, but it is also very good to know filial piety."
"So my subordinates suggest that all the students who spread false news during this period and who were dissatisfied with the King of Yan and the Youzhou army would be exiled to Shenzhou to educate the barbarians."
"This? Isn't it good?" Sima Ji spoke hypocritically, as if he was looking like he was open-minded.
"There is nothing wrong. The civilization of the country is to nurture all nations and educate the people is a grand event. Students of the Imperial College and the Imperial College can completely imitate Confucius. It is the director of Confucianism to establish teaching." A group of winners raised their mouths slightly, looking at their opponents who were in the state of being the knife and being the fish.
"What do you think of all the princes?" Sima Ji tilted his head and looked at the royal kings surrounding him. A copy of the king has always been very democratic. Everyone can speak at will and ask for the opinions of these royal kings.
"The King of Yan can make a decision by himself!" The kings spoke one after another and returned the initiative to Sima Ji.
"Since the winner has been decided, all participants will be exiled to Shenzhou as you said." Sima Ji no longer maintained his hypocritical appearance, completely exposing his usual face and ordered, "This matter has been completed, and the Great Jin law is promulgated and the tax law reform is also issued. From now on, the local tax will replace the cap tax and promote it nationwide. Any opponent will be punished according to the law."
"All follow the instructions of the King of Yan!" Seeing Sima Ji leaving, a group of soldiers surrounded these students and said sarcastically, "You guys who are talking want to go against us? Go to the snow and drink the wind."
In fact, Sima Ji also discussed with the royal family members and did not encounter too obvious opposition. The reason is that my household registration in Jin Dynasty is far less generous than that of the previous dynasty. It can be said that there is no essential difference between collecting land tax and counting tax. When there are many populations, they will be charged the local tax, and when there are few populations, they will be charged the local tax. In ancient dynasties, they will never suffer any losses. Now the household registration of the Jin Dynasty is in a relatively balanced state as the land.
If you say that there are fewer people than when you founded the country, but if you say that there are more people, it is far from the registered household registrations of the previous dynasty. It is a good time point that Sima Ji has the possibility of promoting land tax. The benefits are not that there are. People can take their families with their families, but the land cannot be escaped. Strictly speaking, there are more land than household registrations, but they have not been fully reclaimed.
