Chapter 43: The Unlucky Ministry of Rites
Wang Yangming and Qiao Yu are-for-tat, these two people are a secretary of the ministry, a secretary of the military department, an old minister who has gone through four dynasties, and a Confucian in the world.
can be called the pinnacle lineup of the Daming Debate Competition, even Wang Yue couldn't help but listen attentively, and didn't dare to miss a word.
They all mentioned one person, and that was Song Yingzong's father, Zhao Yunrang, the king of Pu.
Thanks to the gift of the 70-episode footwrapping TV series that is not highly evaluated, many people should have an impression of Song Renzong. This emperor has really softened all his life, and he can be indifferent even if the minister washes his face with saliva.
Wenchen gave him the supreme title of "Renzong", although under his rule, the Western Xia became self-reliant and defeated one after another, although he stopped the Qingli New Deal and gave up the opportunity to change the law and innovate, although he sat back and watched his beloved general, being killed in confusion, although ...... Anyway, as long as you follow the will of the civil officials, no matter how many mistakes there are, they are all forgivable, they are all good emperors, and the logic is so strong that there is nothing to say.
However, after Renzong's death, his courtiers who respected, loved, and obeyed behaved very much.
Renzong's softness is not only reflected in national politics, but also in family affairs, and after working hard for many years, he either did not give birth to a son, or the child he gave birth died early.
The emperor had no children and had to adopt a child from the clan. This child is the thirteenth son of Zhao Yunrang, who later became Song Yingzong.
It stands to reason that Renzong has given up the throne, and Zhao Zongshi should be grateful to Dai De. But after he ascended the throne, he insisted on respecting his biological father Zhao Yunrang as the emperor's exam, and threw Renzong's cheap father aside.
What made Zhao Zhen want to climb out of the coffin even more were his ministers. For example, Ouyang Xiu, the leader of the literary world, this old Confucianism is undoubted, but from the very beginning, he clearly supported Yingzong's proposition and called Zhao Yunrang the imperial examination.
Han Qi and other important ministers also have this view.
and used all means, even at the expense of drunk the Empress Dowager Cao, and deceived the Empress Dowager.
The final result was not unexpected, naturally the emperor got his wish, but Song Yingzong had not been the emperor for a long time, and it was too late to give Zhao Yun the title of emperor, so this is still the king of Pu, and the dispute over his identity has become a dispute over Pu.
Wang Yue has recently made up for history and studied the rules and regulations, and he has some experience.
Compared with the Pu Yi controversy, Zhu Houxi's actions this time really have many similarities.
The first emperor died, and the successor son of heaven had to deal with the relationship with his biological father.
The choice of the two sons of heaven is the same, that is, they must respect their biological father as the emperor - their father!
However, the courtiers were divided into two factions, arguing with each other. Some people support the imperial examination, and some people support the imperial uncle examination, and they do not give in to each other.
And all dynasties have paid attention to emulating the sages. You can't do what you want, you can't be ingenious. Especially for major matters related to the patriarchy, we must rummage through the pile of old papers, and when we find that the ancients have the same ideas as ourselves, we will immediately find a treasure, find a basis, and be able to speak in a different voice.
If there is no historical basis, or if it is different from the historical approach, the pressure will either be doubled or superdoubled!
Things are very clear, how to interpret the dispute has become the key to today's court debate, and victory or defeat determines the future trend.
Qiao Yu, as the first general of the heir faction, naturally did not give an inch.
He glared at Wang Yangming angrily, and suddenly said coldly: "Ling Zun is also an upright gentleman, he was killed by eunuchs, so he was dismissed from office, if he knew that his son was like this, I am afraid that he will be disappointed!" ”
Wang Yangming's expression was as usual, but what he thought in his heart, he didn't know, he dared to talk about his father, he was damned!
Don't think you're old, so I won't slap your donkey face.
"Qiao Tianguan, I want to learn from Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu, but I have become villains, do you think these two are also villains?"
Qiao Yu snorted coldly: "That's right, as Song Renzong's courtiers, they are deeply blessed by heaven. As a result, Renzong died, and he immediately welcomed the new monarch, isn't this a villain? Wang Shouren, the old man doesn't want you to be like this, and you will be infamous through the ages! ”
Qiao Yu was a jinshi in the Chenghua period, with a deep foundation, and he also served as a governor in Jiubian, so he didn't take Wang Yangming, who could only fight bandits and bandits, in his eyes.
I am older than you in terms of qualifications, and I am not timid in terms of military exploits, and now I am a secretary of the ministry, so I naturally want to teach you Wang Yangming like a lesson to my juniors.
Not convinced?
You have the ability to come!
Qiao Yu still ignored that what Wang Yangming is best at is defeating the strong with the weak, the harder your old man presses, the stronger this outbreak will be!
He smiled on his face, without the slightest timidity or anger, but said calmly: "Qiao Tianguan, what you said is just your personal speculation. Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu, whether they are loyal ministers or traitors, it's not up to you to decide! ”
"Is that you?" Qiao Yu was angry, "You don't really think that you are a sage in the world, you can say what you say, right?" ”
Wang Yangming smiled and said: "Qiao Tianguan, Ouyang Xiu's nickname is Wenzhong, and Han Qi's nickname is Zhongxian, both of them have a loyal character. Is it a loyal minister, or a traitorous minister, the Song people have already given the result, Qiao Tianguan is full of history books? How could it not be known? ”
Bang Bang Bang!
Wang Yue couldn't help but slap Wang Yangming, starting with a nickname, this is the best standard for evaluating a person, and it is also the one Wenchen cares about the most.
Whether it is Han Qi or Ouyang Xiu, in the minds of literati of all dynasties, they are still a positive role. Qiao Yu is still biased in attributing them to villains.
Seeing that Qiao Yu's momentum was relaxed, Wang Yangming immediately pulled back the initiative of the topic, "My lords, Song Yingzong is a son of man, and he respects his biological father as the emperor's examination, this is human nature, and the support of the ministers of the DPRK and China is naturally reasonable, Wang really can't see the difference between loyalty and treachery!" ”
At this time, Lin Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, stood up, and he was a scholar again!
Wang Yangming wants one to three!
"Wang Butang, you are pretending to be confused, Yingzong has been succeeded to Renzong, he is the son of Song Renzong, but he is treacherous and wants to deny the succession. Some courtiers are evil when they meet the king, and their hearts can be punished! ”
Wang Yangming laughed, "Well said! Lin Butang, what you say is really high. But I want to ask you, when will Your Majesty pass on to the Son of Filial Piety? Is Your Majesty the same as Song Yingzong? ”
Wang Yangming was waiting for this moment, he asked this, and sure enough, above the court, many people changed color.
Including several elders, they were all shocked, especially Yang Tinghe, he seemed to have the idea of speaking, but Zhu Houxi had already gotten up on the dragon chair, after all, he was a young man, and his waist was good.
He smiled happily: "Wang Butang's words are the right thing!" I am not the son of filial piety, and it is ridiculous to say that I have succeeded him! If you think that I don't want to be a son of Xiaozong, I can't sit on the dragon chair. I am willing to return to Anlu to guard my father's spirit. I can't be a Ming Jun, I have to be a filial son! ”
Zhu Houxi said loudly, and the ministers had already felt the attitude of the Son of Heaven, this was not a joke. Mao Cheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, gritted his teeth, stood up, and reluctantly said: "Your Majesty's filial piety is known to the ministers, so the ministers discussed, Your Majesty's second prince can inherit the title of King Xing and continue the lineage of King Xing, so Your Majesty will not damage filial piety, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds!" ”
Qiao Yu also immediately said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Mao Shangshu's words are right, and it should be so!" ”
Lin Jun echoed: "That's what the minister means!" ”
Three ministers, three guns.
Above the Golden Palace, the other courtiers were eager to try, and then a large group of people knelt down and forced the Son of Heaven to bow his head.
At this moment, Wang Yangming suddenly said faintly: "Three lords, have you ever thought that the king has no children, but a grandson has emerged. Will all the princes be able to replace the existing vassal kings in the future? Aren't you afraid of endless calamity? ”
Zhu Houxi understood, and was furious, you villains, it's like tossing our father and son! I'm not fooled!
"Don't waste your time. Spread my will, and immediately sent a messenger to welcome the concubine into Beijing. The Ministry of Rites must draw up honorific titles, and it is not allowed to make me recite the name of unfilial piety! ”
Zhu Houxi's insistence made the Ministry of Rites tremble, why are we unlucky?
