""xianggong "is here? Hungry? Eat together? "
Zhang Wei enthusiastically pushed the steamed bread, eggs, porridge and side dishes in front of Shen Wei, greeted him to eat trance together, and made Shen Wei feel as if nothing had happened. He was still the Shen Xianggong and Zhang Wei was still the Tang Dynasty envoy.
But the fact that I stayed up all night last night told Shen that everything had changed and I could never go back.
Although angry, desperate and painful, these emotions have been collected by Shen when the sky is bright. He knows that the dust has settled and he is finished.
On the way to Pingzhangjun’s state mansion, he saw a group of soldiers escorting a large number of well-dressed officials to different places, and he knew that Hangzhou had been controlled by Zhang Wei, because such a scene happened in the mutiny three years ago.
He has no chance to make a comeback. After three years’ calculation, he didn’t do anything beneficial to this day, and he didn’t realize what Zhang Wei looked at him.
It is only natural that he should fail.
After thinking about all this, Shen should have calmed down. He is now left with a puzzle-why would Zhang Wei make such a choice?
"You didn’t sleep last night, did you?"
Shen should have accepted a bowl of porridge pushed by Zhang Wei, picked up chopsticks, put some side dishes in the porridge bowl, and ate it for a while, filling it up a little.
Seeing that Shen should eat calmly, Zhang Wei smiled more.
"Can you fall asleep after three years of planning this night?"
"I’m afraid I can’t"
Shen should take an egg table and knock it, then slowly peel the shell and ask, "Jingfu, I won’t ask you how you planned these three years. The only thing I want to know now is why you made such a choice?"
Zhang Wei ate a mouthful of eggs.
"Does" xianggong "mean why I would choose Da over Song?"
Shen should continue to shell eggs slowly.
"Well, I really want to know what you think of your father’s lifelong loyalty to the country. How can you be his son and make such a big mistake? Aren’t you afraid that your father’s soul will come to teach you a lesson if he is dissatisfied with your behavior? "
"In fact, in our big country, there are quite a few Confucius who are far away from ghosts and gods. The official ideological theory does not recognize ghosts and gods, but the ritual activities of offering sacrifices to ancestors and praying for a bumper harvest in the coming year have not been forcibly stopped."
Zhang Wei laughed. "As a revival member, of course I miss my father. Unfortunately, I really know that he has passed away. The soul has nothing to say. I don’t think about it."
"Renaissance will …"
Shen should pause and wait for the egg shell to be peeled off. He put the egg in the porridge bowl and picked it up again and asked, "Aren’t you worried that Jiuquan will face your father after you die?"
"Don’t worry, I don’t think I did something wrong."
Zhang Wei stuffed the remaining half of an egg into his mouth and laughed. "If I have done something wrong, I will definitely feel uneasy. I will be afraid of being blamed by my father after I die, but I don’t think I have done anything wrong. What is there to worry about?"
If I meet my father in Jiuquan after I die and my father asks me what I want to do, I have also said that I am not selfish, I am a scholar who really wants to be in harmony with heaven and my father will naturally understand me. "
"Ideal? Tian Datong? "
Shen should not understand the porridge bowl and stare at Zhang Wei with a frown. "You just believe what Su Yonglin said is true? Do you believe so much that the so-called revolution in Chinese people is harmony between heaven and earth? Does Datong need to kill so many people? Is that a great harmony? That’s a mob killing people! It’s atrocities! It is tyranny! "
"It’s like this scholar-bureaucrat in Hangzhou didn’t kill anyone."
Zhang Yi took a white look at Shen and sneered, "Xianggong, you won’t really let’s read these people very clean, will you? Just because your hands haven’t been directly stained with blood doesn’t mean you’re clean. How many talents will you wait for? How many people have died at the hands of our literati? "
Chapter 133 Less Official and More Corrupt Officials
After listening to Zhang Wei, Shen was speechless for a moment and didn’t know what to say.
There are a lot of things going on here for senior officials of the imperial court, and many things can be known about his position.
It is hard to say how many people will die every day in Song Ting’s administration, and how many people will die of natural diseases or die, but it is not a small number to die because of various man-made disasters.
Every year, there is a famine in some places, and there is a flood and drought in some places. These senior officials want to celebrate Ann’s birthday, but they don’t feel very sad.
He will be shocked by the large number of dead people, but after a long time, he seems to have become numb, feeling that it is normal for those people to die.
Are you numb?
Or is it just a matter of roots?
Shen should be confused.
So Zhang Wei shook his head.
"Didn’t count? "xianggong", I’ll do the math for you. At present, the number of people killed by public trial and other means in the process of data revolution released by the Ministry of Renaissance is about 110 thousand, which is the total number of people killed back and forth
And the scholar-officials? When did "xianggong" return to the river in Sanyi, which time caused less than 110,000 deaths? Natural disasters often bring a large number of deaths every year, and how many of these deaths are caused by man-made disasters?
Don’t forget it. The year before the snowstorm, the imperial court ordered local officials to save the disaster, worried that local food was not enough, and specially allocated food. What did local officials do as a result? Sold the relief food for money and watched the people starve to death. As a result, two hundred thousand people starved to death in two months in Southeast Third Road. "
Shen should be silent for a long time.
"People are born to die. It’s fate that can’t escape."
"In this case, there is nothing wrong with the country."
“……”
Shen should be quite annoyed and look at Zhang Wei, pointing to his low drink a way: "Can fools compare with literati? Scholar-officials can govern the country, stabilize the country, make peace, and fools can produce! "
"Scholar-bureaucrats just read fools."
Zhang Wei went back without hesitation, which made Shen even more annoyed.
"Respect husband, I tell you frankly that without those fools suffering, which come of high positions and high positions? How can I give you big fish and meat without fools eating chaff and pharynx? The sky is so big and the output is so much. If you let them eat more, you will eat a lot less! "
"So you know very well."
Zhang Wei looked at Shen and said with a smile, "I still want to talk to my" xianggong "until the end, so why don’t you just say it now that" xianggong "knows it? Just say that reading people in Hangzhou is thinking that the people with high fish and fish don’t have the ideal of harmony. Isn’t it ok? "
"There is a fart in heaven!"
Shen should be like being completely angered, like a overturned table in front of him, pointing to his sword and pointing to Zhang Wei, the guards thundered, "Early follwed died and Datong died the day after tomorrow! There is no heaven and earth!
What is studying hard at a cold window? What is the poor classics of Hao Shou? What is it to waste half your life taking the imperial examination! ? Jingfu, you are not from the imperial examination. You have a good father who can win you a door! You can be an official without the imperial examination, but this is you!
Do you know that?/You know what? Most people don’t have this condition. They can work hard to take the imperial examination. They have no other way out except the imperial examination! A soldier? Doing business? Or do something about him? There is no way out! "
Zhang Wei is also out of anger.
Together with Zhang Wei, pointing to Shen, he thundered, "So what? So you can fish the people? Is studying hard for the imperial examination for ten years in a cold window a fish for the people? After reading all the sages, did you end up with thieves and prostitutes? ！”
"Otherwise? What did you do? People plead for their lives and then be condemned to the ends of the earth? And die of miasma? Died of mosquitoes? Die of poverty? Ten years wasted in a cold window, and I finally got fame … just to stand up for a group of stupid women? Hahahahahahahaha! "
Shen should have a crazy taste and burst out laughing. "This is really the funniest joke I have ever heard, second only to Datong Zhang Jingfu. I tell you that you have never suffered from the imperial examination. If you have, you will not think so."
Thinking about the people begging for mercy, thinking about the harmony of heaven and earth, and then being hit head-on, you should know whether your ten-year cold window is worth cherishing or the people begging for mercy is more important. Fame is hard to come by, and you can’t understand what you haven’t experienced before.
I don’t want you to argue, you kill me. I have tried to force him to bow to the country for three years, but nothing has been achieved. I know what my field is like and I will never bow to Su Yonglin. "
Zhang Wei looked at Shen’s face and looked like a generous fighter.
But what kind of fighter is he?
In order to maintain the imperial scholar-officials exploiting the people a freedom fighter?
Bah!
Zhang Shi shook his head.
"What the chairman said is that the evil is not just individual criminals, but also the whole evil system, which is born out of oppression and exploitation. The oppression is not just ordinary people but everyone."
Shen should be shocked.
"What did you say?"
"I said that this system, this imperial examination official emperor system, everyone is a victim, and ordinary people have no status and have been exploited. They have taken the imperial examination and become officials, but they find themselves just a grain of dust among this huge bureaucracy.
It’s not easy to go with the flow, but what’s worse is to go against the current and stick to your heart? You still need a certain position and potential to go along with the flow, otherwise you deserve it? Not to mention sticking to your heart and going against the current, it’s one in a million. Most people just go with the flow.
There are many corrupt officials in the past dynasties, but there are even fewer honest officials who can be remembered. Because of this system, such people are not allowed from the beginning. If such people are a thorn in the side, they will want to get rid of it quickly. "
Zhang Wei bent down with a long sigh and picked up a landing bag, tore off the dirty part and took a bite.
