Chapter 943: The Aftermath of the Waste (Medium)
As soon as the Yanguan was dispatched, other civil and military officials also began to play, and everyone had a clear attitude, that is, they did not agree with the emperor to abolish the empress, this said that the emperor was the son of heaven, just like the father of the people. Then the queen is the mother of the people, and she must follow the way of the mother, be kind to others, and not be wasted? “
The other said: "The king has no jokes, the king is benevolent and loyal." As an emperor, you must keep your word, this is the way to be a king.
The abolition of the queen is a major national event, not a child's play. If there is no justifiable reason, such as sin, immorality, etc., it cannot be deposed casually.
There are ancestors and ancestors in the front, and there are thousands of historical records in the back. is unkind and unjust, the reason of heaven is not tolerated, and the people's hearts are unconvinced, and even more, they simply take out the matter of Zhu Di's election of the Hu family back ......then, when Zhu Di was the emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji officiated, but chose Hu Shanxiang as the concubine, and the Sun family could only live in the side room as a concubine.
At first, Zhu Zhanji was able to appease a few words, but some of the older officials were easy to say, and they stopped persuading one after another, and those who were young and vigorous didn't know that the tendon was wrong, and seeing that the emperor did not withdraw the imperial order to abolish the empress, they actually came uninvited, and knelt down outside the noon gate one after another, shouting to the sky and the ground, and when the matter came here, it was a big trouble.
Zhu Zhanji didn't expect such a thing to happen as soon as he ascended the throne, and these speech officials were so hateful that they cried in front of the noon gate, which made him so angry, but he couldn't attack these speech officials, so he had to let the eunuchs accept their recitals, and then told them to go back and wait.
Who knew that these officials ate the gall of the ambitious leopard, and they had to ask the emperor to come to the noon gate and make a promise in front of them in person.
As soon as he heard this request, Zhu Zhanji was furious, he had already had a heart to give up, but now he just watched the ministers make a fuss, and he reined in a little, but convergence does not mean that he is afraid, it is just a tactful means, I can't imagine that these guys are so uninteresting, and they actually ask the emperor to promise in person, he is the emperor, Chrysostom and Yuyan, how can he promise lightly, and he will not agree.
Knowing that the emperor did not agree, those ministers were even more outrageous, folding and sending them up one by one, and there were more and more people kneeling outside the noon gate, as well as many civil and military ministers.
This time Zhu Zhanji was even more angry, but he was angry, and he hadn't lost his mind yet, knowing that these officials couldn't be killed lightly, and they couldn't achieve the results they wanted, and they also made a reputation as a dumb king, so he just asked the eunuchs to collect their recitals, and let them do what they should do."
thought that these speech officials should leave now, but he obviously underestimated the perseverance of these speech officials, and they sent the concert, but they did not leave.
As a last resort, Zhu Zhanji once again issued a holy decree and asked the eunuch Wang Zhen to pass the decree, saying: "Let them go back first, he will discuss this matter with the cabinet?" “
Who is Wang Zhen came back and said that those officials did not agree, and the emperor had to go and explain the matter to the hundred officials in person, otherwise he would not be able to kneel outside the noon gate! “
As the saying goes, Buddha also has fire, not to mention people, although Zhu Zhanji is good at talking, but he is not a temperamental person, so low his voice a few times, the ministers did not give any face, at that time they were angry, and wanted to blast those ministers out, finally under the persuasion of Wang Zhen and Chen Wu, they suppressed the anger, but those ministers were not so lucky, they worked hard to write the folds, and the emperor didn't bother to read the same, and sent a message, they are used to kneeling and let them kneel enough! “
The emperor spoke, naturally no one dared to persuade, the morning passed like this, Zhu Zhanji dealt with government affairs, as soon as he saw the sky, it was almost dusk, thinking that those civil officials and military generals should also go back, so he asked Wang Zhen to see, how many people are left? “
Who knew that the result made him even more annoyed, the number of people did not leave, not to mention, there were more than a dozen people, kneeling there in the dark, shouting for the emperor to give a word.
Zhu Zhanji was still kneeling when he heard this, his head was a little big, and he had no idea for a while, and he didn't want to discuss with Yang Shiqi and others, so he thought of Yang Zheng after thinking about it, and he didn't care about the howling outside the noon gate in the morning, and simply took Wang Zhen and a few guards to sneak out of the palace, and he was out of sight.
Yang Zheng silently listened to Zhu Zhanji's bitter water, and suddenly at this moment, he remembered the two battles in the late Ming Dynasty, the first was the great etiquette dispute in the Jiaqing period, and the Zhengde Emperor, who had been an absurd emperor for more than ten years, came to the end of his life. However, at the age of thirty-one, he had no children, and after being selected by Yang Tinghe, the first assistant, and approved by the emperor, his cousin Zhu Houxuan, a vassal king in Anlu Prefecture, Hubei Province, ascended the throne (next to the fire character), and sent ministers to meet him. When Jiajing entered Beijing from Hubei, he had a dispute with the courtiers over the specifications of the welcoming ceremony. In feudal society, the inheritance of the emperor's family must be particularly clear, since Emperor Jiajing became the emperor, he had to require him to have a direct relationship with the previous emperor, so the ministers headed by Yang Tinghe, the first assistant and Mao Cheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, thought that Zhu Houxi should first succeed to the late Ming Xiaozong as a son, and then inherit the throne. Therefore, they had to carry out a ceremony of "the succession of the prince and the crown prince" outside Beijing, and then let Zhu Houxi enter the palace as the crown prince. But Zhu Houxi thinks that what is written in the edict is to let himself be the emperor, not to be the prince, and Zhu Houxuan is very filial and admits death, his biological father is dead, and he has nothing to pass on to his uncle, but he thinks that he is the son of King Xingxian, not the son of Emperor Hongzhi, so he refuses to be flexible. Under Zhu Houxi's resolute opposition, Empress Dowager Zhang and the ministers gave in: succeed to the throne first. So, Zhu Houxi entered the palace from Daming Gate and immediately ascended the throne as emperor.
But although Jiajing is young, he is extremely smart, and he ascends the throne as the emperor, that is, the lord of the world, so three days later, ? Let the Ministry of Rites discuss the issue of his father's temple number, Zhu Houxuan means to set up his father as an emperor, and then move his father's tablet from his hometown to the Taimiao in the capital, and worship his father like other ancestors. Zhu Yuanzhang respectfully called his biological father Zhu Shizhen Emperor Renzuchun, and Zhu Jianwen called Zhu Biao Emperor Xingzong Xiaokang, these are all honorific titles that were not emperors during his lifetime, and his descendants were emperors in later generations, in order to exercise ceremonial convenience.
Emperor Jiajing's mention was refuted by Yang Tinghe, who believed that "the latter is the son of the latter", and since Zhu Houxuan inherited the throne of others, he should become someone else's heir. Yang Tinghe also gave two examples, Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty had no heirs and succeeded the son of King Tao of the clan as the crown prince, and Song Yingzong had no heirs and succeeded the son of King Pu to inherit the unification in the future. Moreover, Yang Tinghe also pointed out that Xiaozong, as the heir of the Chenghua Emperor, cannot be extinct, so other small sects must be succeeded to inherit the heirs of the big sect. Yang Tinghe's statement is actually self-defeating, because after the heir of Xiaozong, Zhu Houxuan naturally inherited the big sect.
The emperor felt that there was something wrong with Yang Tinghe's words, but due to his limited knowledge and eloquence, Emperor Jiajing did not know how to refute it, and the matter froze.
Facts show that a person's eloquence is very important, it can give you the right to speak, and the other party will be subjected to huge pressure of public opinion, so as to break the self-defeat. But eloquence requires you to find the flaws of the other party, so as to hit it with one blow, which requires you to have a wealth of knowledge, especially to be familiar with historical allusions, and find breakthroughs from historical cases.
Zhang Xuan is such a person. The eleventh year of Hongzhi and the sixteenth Jinshi of Zhengde, there was a gap of twenty-three years, and Zhang Cong persevered in this way. Zhang Xuan was in the alternation of the two dynasties of Zhengde and Jiajing, at this time he was interning in the Ministry of Rites, when the emperor and Yang Tinghe were fighting, Zhang Xuan on a "Great Rites".
Zhang Xuan is a person who has studied etiquette, and has a lot of knowledge in "Zhou Li", "Etiquette", and "Book of Etiquette", Yang Tinghe's autocracy and domineering finally caused some people to be dissatisfied.
This "Great Rites" pointed out Yang Tinghe's mistakes from five aspects. First of all, Zhang Xuan said that it was against filial piety not to let the emperor recognize his biological parents; Secondly, the sons of King Tao of the Han Dynasty and the sons of King Pu of the Song Dynasty were both succeeded when Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Yingzong of the Song Dynasty were still alive; In addition, Emperor Jiajing succeeded to the throne in accordance with the patriarchal order, and had nothing to do with Emperor Xiaozong; According to the principle of "the eldest son shall not be the queen of others" in the patriarchal system, the emperor, as the eldest son of others, cannot pass on to others as sons; In the end, Zhang Xuan said that the unification is different from the heir, and there is no need to succeed the heir, and in the past, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty inherited the unification as the nephew of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, and did not pass on to Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty.
Zhang Xuan's "Great Rites" was played, Jiajing was overjoyed, like seeing the clouds and seeing the fog, he said happily: "As soon as this theory comes out, my father and son will finally be finished." Although he reprimanded Zhang Xuan for "being a scholar who knows the national system", Yang Tinghe himself was difficult to put forward a convincing debate, and then although he gave a letter to the middle of the matter and the imperial history to ask for Zhang Zhang's guilt, the balance of public opinion has tilted towards Jiajing, and the emperor has felt confident.
When the two sides of the confrontation were still deadlocked, Zhang Xuan wrote another note, called "Great Gift or Question", in which Zhang Zhang focused on his own views from the aspect of "unification and heirs" and further demonstrated in detail, and also attached many examples of the previous dynasty. Zhang Xuan's recital caused an uproar in the court, and Wang Zhan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, was also moved, Yang Tinghe tried to let people stop Zhang Xuan, and Zhang Xuan bypassed the cabinet and directly passed this recital from Zuo Shunmen to the General Administration, "Great Rite or Question" in the empire has caused more shock than "Great Rite Shu", Yang Yiqing, the former trilateral general who retired at home, also read this article, Yang Yiqing sent a letter to the Ministry of Shangshu: "Zhang Zhang's theory cannot be changed even if Confucius and Mencius are alive. ”
