My father is Jiajing

Chapter 308 The Rise and Fall of the World, Fuck You

Yan Shifan arrived with people from the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple.

After hearing Wang Youzhao's words, Yan Shifan suddenly shouted loudly, as if he was the god of justice descending from the sky.

Yan Shifan walked over aggressively, staring at Wang Youzhao with a pair of eyes like an angry King Kong, making Wang Youzhao feel cold all over and even feel that the fox fur on his body was not warm enough.

Yan Shifan asked, "Is the prefect planning to seal off the scene and help Hai Rui destroy the evidence? These workers and civilians have never encountered such an accident under the management of my Ministry of Works. And you have only been in charge of them for less than a month, and you let them freeze to death at the feet of the emperor."

"And now you're trying to seal off the scene. Don't you know that justice will prevail?"

Yan Shifan looked like a generous and righteous man, and instantly attracted the attention of the onlookers outside Chongwenmen and the merchants and people coming and going in the capital.

When the onlookers heard Yan Shifan's words of justice, they were all cheered up, thinking that a just and upright judge who was not afraid of the powerful had arrived.

Coupled with the long-term obedience training since the laws of Shang Yang and Han Fei, in the simple cognition of the common people, such officials who dare to speak out are "good officials" in their subconscious.

Moreover, these simple common people often experience the deep feeling of "people should not fight against officials" in their daily lives, so as long as there is such a vicious fight between officials, they can't help but think that this is a very cool thing, and that these evil people have finally got their revenge.

As a result, the common people who didn't know Yan Shifan suddenly began to like him more, with their eyes filled with anticipation and excitement, wanting to see who would win and who would lose in the end!
It can be seen from this that under such feudal rule, it is actually quite difficult to make the people loyal to the court and the concept of the "Ming Dynasty".

The reason why they still recognize the Ming Dynasty is not because the Ming Dynasty is so good to them, but because their power is too weak, and now they still have food to eat and a stable life to live.

Once this meal is snatched away by these officials who bite each other, the peaceful life will be ruined by these officials.

At that time, don't talk about the emperor's kindness or the court's authority. Even if the king of heaven comes, he will be slapped twice to let them know what happens when an honest person is forced into a corner.

But unfortunately, even if these honest people are forced into rebellion, once they have the opportunity to become big, they will turn into the objects of their hatred and disgust and continue to oppress and exploit other poor honest people.

Therefore, if we want to change the status quo and truly revive the Ming Dynasty, it is not about making so-called new inventions to boost industry, or engaging in expansion and territorial grabbing movements such as overseas territories.

Instead, we must make these honest people not afraid of officials from the bottom of their hearts, and believe that being an official is a profession, that is, people who specialize in serving the public, helping with national governance, and helping the country formulate development strategies. Only in this way can the Ming Dynasty truly penetrate into the hearts of the people and truly realize the ideal national concept of "every man is responsible for the rise and fall of his country."

Otherwise, under long-term oppression and fear, when the country is really destroyed, the people will think, "The rise and fall of the country, screw you." It doesn't matter who becomes the emperor anyway, so they might as well think about where they will have their next meal.

So sometimes, we cannot blame the common people for their short-sightedness, because the wealth and destiny they can control are only enough for them to see what is in front of them. If they want to look up at the world, they must rely on those in power to make concessions and give them a decent and hopeful future.

Otherwise, even if they have worked hard for several generations and have luckily become a farming and reading family and have a successful candidate in the imperial examination, they are selfish at heart and will not have any empathy or compassion.

I just feel that I have finally gone through all the hardships and it is time for me to become a superior person.

Little do they know that what these “superior people” eat is not suffering, but humanity!
Therefore, the leisure and happiness enjoyed by these "superior people" are actually obtained by cannibalizing human beings, and there is nothing noble about them.

But even so, it still attracts countless ordinary people.

The fundamental reason is that ordinary people know that if they want their lives to get better, in addition to working hard, they must learn to eat other people like the "superior people", otherwise no matter how hard they work, it will be in vain.

But is this the right way to live? Obviously not.

Therefore, if we cannot find a way to educate the people who are watching the excitement here today about dignity and self-respect, and if we cannot find a way to restrict the officials and nobles from abusing their power, then this world will always be a makeshift group of people who laugh at each other.

Yan Shifan enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention with great dignity. He felt that at this moment he was a hero standing up for the people and vowed to seek justice for the innocent workers and laborers who had died.

Wang Youzhao turned pale with fear and quickly denied: "Young Lord, I didn't mean that. I just... just..."

Yan Shifan looked at Wang Youzhao coldly and felt very happy.

Yan Shifan said, "What is it? You want to conceal the truth, to deceive the court? Wang Youzhaokui, you are an official appointed by the court, in charge of the important area of ​​the capital. Is this how you manage the capital for the emperor? It is a pity for the people of the capital to have an official like you!"

Yan Shifan's attack was a barrage of words, which frightened Wang Youzhao so much that he broke out in a cold sweat. It felt like the hot summer weather in June instead of the winter month of November.

Just when Wang Youzhao was frightened, Gao Gong stood up.

Gao Gong knew the truth, so he was not afraid at all.

Moreover, Gao Gong had been studying in the Hanlin Academy for many years and had a good reputation. Therefore, whether it was the so-called Yan Party represented by Yan Song and Yan Shifan, or the self-proclaimed clean stream of Xu Jie and others, they would give Gao Gong some face.

Therefore, this is why Yan Song did not hesitate and directly recommended Gao Gong to enter Prince Yu's Palace.

The fundamental reason was that Gao Gong did not belong to either side, so recommending Gao Gong could both shut up Qingliu and block Qingliu from sending people into Prince Yu's mansion.

After all, Yan Song also wanted to establish a good relationship for the future, so that when the Yan family really encountered difficulties and fell into ruin, there would not be anyone who dared to speak up for them.

Therefore, Gao Gong, who had a strong and hot temper, became the person Yan Song wanted to establish a good relationship with.

As for whether or not to bring Gao Gong into his faction, Yan Song didn't want to.

Because Yan Song also knew what kind of people on his side were like. If he allowed someone with a hot-tempered personality like Gao Gong to join their side, it would probably not take long before Yan Shifan would be eager to get rid of him.

Wouldn't this further highlight Yan Shifan's perverseness? Would it make the Yan family more dangerous in the future?

Therefore, no matter how old or foolish Yan Song was, he was still paving the way for the Yan family's future, thinking that if the future became really difficult, at least he could ensure that his Yan family would have a line of succession and would not be broken up and left with nothing.

It can be said that old Yan Song was very concerned about the future of the Yan family. It was a pity that Yan Shifan never understood his father's painstaking efforts. He always did what he wanted and thought that God was the boss and he was the second, and he could even fool the emperor.

I wonder if such a smart person can live long? Can his family still have a future?
