Chapter 667 Guanglu Academy (2)

"Officials regard the people as grass, and the people regard the officials as enemies. Since the Ming Dynasty set up a magistrate in Jiaozhi, they should treat everyone equally and treat the people of Jiaozhi as the people of the Ming Dynasty. The treatment should not be different from that of the Han people..."

Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu talked endlessly, trying to convince Lin Chunhong. Lin Chunhong sniffed at this point, not refuting it, but just listening.

"The current strategy remains unchanged, and there will inevitably be famine in Jiaozhi. In the mountains and forests, hundreds of thousands of people will die, which will bring serious consequences, one..."

Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu's words were very straightforward, and they almost pointed out that Lin Chunhong wanted to massacre millions of people in Jiaozhi, but Lin Chunhong was still indifferent.

The two were quite disappointed when they saw Lin Chunhong calmly. Finally, Huang Zongxi gave another word of advice:

"The Marquis believed in the Mongolians and asked them to herd sheep for the Ming Dynasty and fought. Why did they distrust the Jiaozhi people and set up obstacles everywhere?"

Before Huang Zongxi finished speaking, Lin Chunhong's brows suddenly tightened, causing Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu to rekindle hope.

What the two of them didn't know was that Lin Chunhong's heart was like a storm and he couldn't be at peace during the film. He took preconceived ideas in his heart and naturally regarded the Mongols as part of the Chinese nation. When conquering Hetao, he did not adopt a tragic strategy, but instead gave a lot of care. As for the Jiaozhi people, in his subconscious, they were not part of the Chinese nation at all.

Based on the above considerations, it is natural to have such a big difference between the Mongolians and the Jiaozhi people.

In fact, from the perspective of civilization alone, the Jiaozhi people's recognition of Chinese civilization is no less than that of the Mongols. Judging from the hatred between the two sides, the hatred between the Mongols and the Han people is far more than that of the Jiaozhi people!

This is a fact that embarrasses Lin Chunhong!

It seems that everyone is influenced by their experience and insights and cannot avoid bias and take for granted when administering!

Lin Chunhong is like this and uses himself to judge others. I guess the officials below are not much better.

How to avoid or reduce the harm of this phenomenon? Lin Chunhong thought about it for a long time and gradually made a final decision.

He stood up and thanked, "The ancients said that if you listen to both sides, you will be clear and partial, you will be secret. This sentence is easy to say, but it is even more difficult to do. Fortunately, you two came to Jingzhou without hesitation, otherwise, this man would make a big mistake!"

Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu couldn't understand why Lin Chunhong suddenly accepted their opinions, but this was not important, and they were too lazy to think about it. For both of them, the goal of being able to make Lin Chunhong change his wrong approach has already been achieved.

The two then said goodbye to Lin Chunhong and were about to return to Jiangnan, but Lin Chunhong kept him and said, "You two, please stay in Jingzhou for several days, and you still need to ask for advice on some things."

Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu asked, "What's the matter?"

Lin Chunhong replied: "Looking at the history of more than a thousand years, various dynasties have established supervisory and censorship institutions, commonly known as Taiwan and censorship. The Ming Dynasty also had a chief censorship, which carried out supervision and persuasion. At present, there was only supervisory institutions in Jingzhou, and there was no such thing as censorship. I was thinking about setting up a censorship system in Jingzhou. As for how to establish it, I wanted to hear the opinions of both of you."

Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu were shocked and blurted out: "The imperial court already has a prisoner, why bother to establish another plan?"

Lin Chunhong knew the intention of maintaining the central position of the court, so he didn't care. He said directly: "The scriptures are good scriptures, and they were read by the people of the court. I thought that there are two principles for establishing a censor's organization: one is to allow all the insights to be heard by the government without hindering; the other is to avoid becoming a tool for political disputes. It is very difficult to achieve these two points, and the court may not be able to count on it now. Therefore, please stay and help Jingzhou to figure out how to set up a censor's organization."

Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu hesitated for a long time, and finally considered that Jingzhou had controlled most of the Ming Dynasty, the censor system was good for Jingzhou, which was good for the entire Ming Dynasty, so they stayed.

Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu had just rested in Jingzhou when they received a greeting from Zhu Zhiyu.

Zhu Zhiyu visited the door and invited the two to give lectures at Xingzhishu Hall. Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu were already dissatisfied with Lin Chunhong's reduction of the status of Confucianism. How could he go to Xingzhishu Hall to open his eyes to Lin Chunhong?

The two politely rejected Zhu Zhiyu's invitation on the name of the complicated matters entrusted by Lin Chunhong.

Zhu Zhiyu didn't care and said a lot of people were great scholars of the world. He would come to ask for advice frequently in the future, and then said goodbye.

Not long after Zhu Zhiyu left, the two received another visit from Peng Xin. Although Peng Xin had no fame, he was the deputy general manager of the Supervision Office, with a high position and a powerful position. He was mostly drafted by him. Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu naturally did not dare to neglect Peng Xin and welcomed Peng Xin into the room.

Peng Xin said that the work of the Supervision Office required two people to give more guidance, so he said goodbye.

Seeing Peng Xin away, Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu looked at each other.

Huang Zongxi shook his head and sighed: "It has been rumored that Jingzhou is fighting fiercely, but Huang still doesn't believe it. Today, he heard it with his own ears and saw it with his own eyes and realized that the rumors are true! Today, we are involved in it. It is unpredictable whether it is a blessing or a disaster."

Gu Yanwu was more open than Huang Zongxi's things and laughed and said, "As long as there are people, where can there be less fighting? Mr. Nanlei was worried too much! Looking at it today, it is nothing more than Jingzhou Zhongshu Mansion and the Supervisory Office fighting for the dominance of the censors. What does it have to do with us? We just need to make public intentions and explain what we want to say. No matter how powerful they fight, what good fortune will we have?"

Huang Zongxi was silent for a while and said, "That's all that is the case at the moment!"

...

There was a turbulent undercurrent in Jingzhou City, and even the inner house was not peaceful in the forest mansion.

Zhang Daohan, Mrs. Zhu, Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Peng visited the old lady one after another, and also brought some gadgets to the three daughters-in-law of the Lin family as gifts. The old lady was very smart. Although she didn't know what Lin Chunhong was trying to do, she still felt that something big might happen in Jingzhou.

In order to avoid being involved in the inner ward, the old lady gathered her three wives, reiterated the rule that the inner ward should not interfere in foreign affairs, and sternly warned that if there is any violation, the law must be implemented.

The three of them agreed timidly.

Zhou Feng and Cui Yuer both have official positions, and they are responsible for some things at hand. They have long known what happened. Chen Tianyao has been pregnant for a while and has not gone out much. She still doesn't know what happened outside, so she has a big question in her mind.

In the evening, Lin Chunhong stayed in Chen Tianyao's room overnight. Chen Tianyao told the old lady Lin Chunhong about her actions today and said inadvertently: "It's really strange. Thinking about it, nothing big happened recently, so why did the old lady specially call us over and order this?"

Lin Chunhong was very opposed to the woman's deaf ears, so he informed Chen Tianyao of Jingzhou's preparations to establish a censor's agency.

"The establishment of a censor? The left and right are just giving suggestions. Whether the government listens or not is still between the two of them. What's the big deal? Is there anything else? Don't hide it from me! If you hide it from me, I will get angry and it's not good to the children in my stomach!"

Chen Tianyao was afraid that Lin Chunhong would lie to her, so she took out her child to threaten Lin Chunhong.

Lin Chunhong smiled and said, "I blame me for lying to you if I can't figure it out! Think about it, what is the difference between being led by the Censorate Office and being led by the Supervision Office?"

Chen Tianyao tilted her head, turned her bright eyes several times, and suddenly realized, "The difference is indeed a bit big. The people who make suggestions are different, but they are really a little different. For example, if you care about me, I will give you suggestions, you always hum and listen when you want to listen. If you don't want to listen, just one ear comes in and one ear comes out, and there is no effect at all. If Aunt Chen next door gives you suggestions, you have to prick up your ears and listen. It doesn't count. Aunt Chen will often come and ask, where is my suggestion not possible, why don't you implement it? In any case, you have to give Aunt Chen an explanation!"

Lin Chunhong laughed: "That's the reason! But when did I not listen to what you said?"

...

The two of them teased and played for a while. Chen Tianyao tidied up her hair while saying, "According to your usual practice, should this censor be led by the Supervisory Office?"

Lin Chunhong sneered: "The Supervision Office does not need to make suggestions? Not only do you need to make suggestions, but you also need supervision! Those guys are more honest than anyone else on the surface. After investigating this and that, they have done some dirty things behind their backs. Don't think I don't know!"

Chen Tianyao was startled and said, "In previous years, only Zhang Mu's son committed a crime, so a major case arose. Is it necessary to make a major case again this time?"

Lin Chunhong shook his head and said, "It's not the time yet. I haven't thought of a solution once and for all. Even if a big case is launched, it cannot be completely eradicated for personal gain..."

Speaking of this, Lin Chunhong stopped talking, his eyes were floating, and he was obviously thinking about other issues.

Chen Tianyao suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind and asked anxiously: "You won't pin your hopes on the censors, do you? Even if you give the censors the right to question, what can you do to help them? Those officials will still ignore it."

Lin Chunhong looked at Chen Tianyao with a strange look, making Chen Tianyao feel terrified, and asked in surprise: "Am I wrong?"

Lin Chunhong's sword eyebrows stood up, scaring Chen Tianyao, and continued to ask: "Don't scare me, what did you think of?"

Lin Chunhong's tone was quite stiff and asked, "If the Ming Dynasty has no emperor, do you mind?"

"There is no emperor?" Chen Tianyao was stunned, feeling that Lin Chunhong's thinking was a bit wild, and he jumped from the censor to the emperor.

Moreover, Lin Chunhong was talking about treason, which made Chen Tianyao even more scared. She asked tremblingly: "Does... do the third brother want to be the emperor?"

"Then there is still an emperor!"

Chen Tianyao's mood gradually calmed down and said, "If the emperor is really gone, I'm really not used to it. I feel like the sky is about to fall."

Lin Chunhong nodded and whispered: "The power of the king is divinely granted, and existence is reasonable. No matter what regime, it must have a legal basis. This world still needs the emperor for the time being."

How can Chen Tianyao understand these words? She just feels that women in men cannot get in the hands at all. Simple things make them extremely complicated and complex things, and they like to solve them in a very direct way!
