Han Changli took over Zhao Ritian's manuscript, spread it out solemnly, and read it aloud.
"Commoner Zhao Ritian admonished."
“If you want a tree to grow tall, you must strengthen its roots; if you want a river to flow far, you must dredge its source…”
Hmm...
The theme is introduced using parallelism and metaphor: "Those who want their country to be safe must accumulate virtue and righteousness."
The opening is eye-catching.
It should be a good article.
It just doesn't taste right.
After reading the masterpiece "Memorial on Public Security".
Look at this "Ten Thoughts to Admonish the Female Emperor" again. It sounds so mild and unpleasant no matter how you listen to it.
This article is far less offensive.
This is not the writing style of Zhao Sheng in everyone's mind, the one who criticizes everything and everyone and is determined to criticize the empress to death.
On the contrary, it is the work of a great literary master and old scholar like Minglou.
Everyone suppressed their thoughts and continued to listen patiently.
"Every head of state, bearing the mandate of Heaven, is filled with deep worry and with the passage of time; when success is achieved, virtue declines..."
"When a man is in great distress, he must treat his subordinates with all his heart!"
"Once one has achieved one's ambition, one will indulge oneself and become arrogant. With sincerity, Wu and Yue will become one, but with arrogance, one's own flesh and blood will become strangers."
“…”
"Why bother yourself with thinking, taking on the responsibilities of others, using your clever ears and eyes, and violating the principle of inaction?"
This is Wei Zheng's "Ten Thoughts to Admonish Emperor Taizong". Thanks to the middle school entrance examination and the college entrance examination, Qin Yuan still has a few good articles that he can recite by heart.
With just a little modification and polishing, it can fit the historical background of the Great Zhou Dynasty and have a higher purpose.
After Han Changli finished reciting with great emotion, he folded the manuscript again and handed it back to Zhao Ritian.
The whole place was silent, no one spoke.
It seems that I am still savoring this simple and vivid argumentative essay.
Not long.
There were a few scattered applause from the crowd.
Soon after, thunderous applause broke out.
"Good, great good!"
“Well, that’s very well written!”
“…”
With the help of the extras, the atmosphere finally became lively and there were no dull moments.
Overall, this article is noteworthy.
Like the earnest teachings of a kind old man.
Keep giving examples, explaining the truth, and telling the empress:
If you want to be a good emperor, you must be prepared for danger in times of peace.
Don't work hard and diligently when you first ascend to the throne. After you gain power, don't start to indulge in arrogance and enjoy life. Think about your original intention.
At the same time, he compared the people to water and the king to a boat, vividly explaining the interests involved and telling Yan Jiaoran to be diligent in his work and love the people.
Finally, the key to governing a country is to know people and assign them to the right positions, select talents, and you will naturally achieve the ideal state of "ruling with ease".
To summarize, the subtext is:
You just need to stop building palaces and altars randomly, and do more water conservancy projects and other benevolent things.
Then select some talented people to help you govern the country.
If you love to cultivate immortality, then do whatever you like.
Whether it is the imperial court or the Great Zhou, there will definitely be no chaos under their governance.
Zhao Ritian: (slams the table angrily) What the hell is going on in the court these days? It's disgusting!
Although this article is not as earth-shattering and heart-wrenching as "Memorial on Public Security", which did not inspire the people of the world to urinate in the wind, it is also a rare good article.
This man does have some literary talent and seems like a well-educated man.
But, is he really Zhao Ritian?
There were still some doubts in everyone's hearts.
If Zhao Ritian really coveted fame and fortune and wanted to become rich, he should have come out when the first newspaper came out and presented "On the Use of Punctuation Marks".
Why do you want to hide your identity and hide yourself?
When the second article "Public Security Memorial" came out, everyone realized that Zhao Sheng did this to avoid trouble!
When the emperor is angry, blood will flow for thousands of miles.
Such a great article that will be passed down through the ages would probably make your head fall off.
Even though Zhao Ritian has put his life and death aside, he still wants to write more advice.
Being low-key has its advantages.
If you keep a low profile and have fewer troubles, you can calm down and create, and offer continuous advice.
This is the Confucian scholar and genius Zhao Ritian in their hearts!
But today, he showed up without any reason at all.
Why did he show up?
What is he doing this for?
This cannot help but make everyone suspicious.
Perhaps, he is also a fake Zhao Ritian?
These days, there are too many fake goods in Jingzhou City.
Although I still have doubts in my heart, I still have to do my best on the surface.
The scholars bowed and said in unison: "Take care, Mr. Zhao!"
Now, he is not Zhao Sheng yet. It will not be too late to change his words after it is confirmed tomorrow.
Zhao Ritian also bowed and said, "Take care, everyone. The future of the Great Zhou rests in the hands of you young people."
Then, with the help of Han Changli, Zhao Ritian got back into the carriage and drove away.
This put the people who came to greet him in a difficult position.
They came to pick up the real Zhao Ritian, but the identity of the man in front of them had not been confirmed, so they just assumed it was Mingtian.
Do they answer or not?
If I take another fake one, I’m afraid my head will be gone.
But if they don't accept it, won't they be blamed by their superiors in the future?
They really have it difficult!
Just when the servants of the two families were hesitating.
Yan Jiaoran's messenger arrived. She pulled out a scroll of imperial edict from her bosom and said loudly, "Your Majesty has decreed that Zhao Ritian be given six carriages to drive. He does not need to bow when entering the court, does not need to be named when praising, and can only wear a sword and shoes when entering the palace!"
