Chapter Thirty-Seven: Agua State Matters The King is a teenager
When Song Hong went to the palace with the recital of the internal history, Huang Rong was accompanying Ling Hule.
Huang Rong's official position is a permanent attendant. The "regular attendant" is also the meaning of the attendant, and his duty is to participate in the preliminary discussion, whether he can be substituted, and he is also responsible for the work of etiquette, and he is a close minister of the sovereign. Therefore, Huang Rong often follows Ling Hule's left.
Ling Hule looked at Song Hong's resignation letter like a little adult, and said: "Song Hong said that he was going to resign and asked to return to his hometown." ”
Despite his young age, Ling Hule also knew that this was a big deal, so he had to order someone to send Song Hong's recital book to Zuo's view.
Huang Rong said: "The minister thinks that just resigning is not enough to punish him. ”
"Oh? What sin? ”
"That's what he said."
"Do you mean that in Zhang Tan's book, what did Song Hong say about 'Yi Yin is sufficient'?"
"Exactly." Huang Rong said solemnly, "King, you haven't learned the story of Yi Yin yet, and you probably don't know much about it. Speak for the king. ”
Ling Hule only thought that there was a story to hear, and said with great interest: "Say it." ”
"Yi Yin was originally a slave, assisted Shang Tang to defeat Xia Wei, and was the founding father of Shang."
Ling Hule asked, "Can a slave also become a minister of the state?" ”
"The five doctors are also slaves. The king, the way of heaven is only fair, giving birth to all the people, the wise man is not necessarily only from the high gate, between the market and the grass, there are also quite outstanding people. ”
Linghu Le seemed to understand, nodded, and said, "Oh." You go on to say. ”
"Yes. The five generations of monarchs of Yiyin and Shang, Chengtang, Waibing, Zhongren, Taijia and Woding, have been in power for more than 50 years. ”
Ling Hule was stunned and said, "More than fifty years? How old did he have to live? ”
After serving Ling Hule for so long, Huang Rong has become familiar with Ling Hule's temperament, knowing that although he is the king of Dingxi, he is still a child in essence, and his thinking will inevitably jump at times, so although Ling Hule has repeatedly interjected, Huang Rong is still patient.
He replied respectfully, "It is said that Yi Yin lives to be 100 years old. ”
"That's a long life."
"Yes. Shang's heir is a brother and a brother. ”
Ling Hule asked strangely, "Why is the brother the last brother?" Isn't it only Hu who would do this? We, Xia people, have never passed on our heirs? ”
"My lord, this is a long story. Nothing can be done overnight, including the country's rules and regulations, but gradually. Some of the customs of the Hu people today were also had by our Xia people before. It's just that compared with the Hu people, the ancestors of our Xia people have had virtuous saints in all dynasties, so it is the rise of civilization. ”
Ling Hule roughly understood, and said, "I see. ”
Huang Rong went on to say Yi Yin, saying: "Cheng Tang has no younger brother, and his eldest son Taiding died early, so he passed on the second son Wai Bing, and Wai C passed on his younger brother Zhong Ren. After the collapse of Zhongren, Yi Yin made the decision and passed the throne to Tai Ding's son Tai Jia. Song Hong's 'Yi Yin is sufficient' is an allusion between Yi Yin and Taijia. ”
"What allusion?"
After Taijia succeeded to the throne, Yi Yin wrote three articles in a row, dedicated to Taijia, and taught Taijia how to be a good king. The first two years were good, but in the third year, Taijia couldn't bear the restraint and began to give orders arbitrarily, blindly enjoying himself, tyrannizing the people, darkening the government, and destroying the laws and regulations formulated by Chengtang. ”
"That Taijia, is he a big faint king?"
Yi Yin advised Taijia several times, but Taijia didn't listen. King, what do you think Yi Yin did? ”
"What's the matter?"
"Yi Yin banished Taijia to the Tong Palace near the Chengtang Mausoleum and imprisoned him for three years."
Ling Hule was taken aback and said, "Yi Yin imprisoned his king for three years? ”
"In the early years of this dynasty, there were people in Ji County who robbed tombs, and dozens of bamboo slips were obtained, all of which were recorded in ancient texts, and there were thirteen historical books recorded in the three dynasties of the Xia and Shang dynasties, which were written by the historians of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. During the "Yin Ji", when talking about the story of Yi Yin's exile of Taijia, he said: Zhong Ren collapsed, and Yi Yin put Taijia in Tonggong, which was self-reliant. Yi Yin ascended the throne and put Taijia for seven years. Taijia sneaked out to kill Yi Yin. ”
Ling Hule was even more surprised, startled, and said, "Isn't this a rebellion and usurpation?" ”
Huang Rongzhen lifted his sleeves, bowed to the ground, spoke loudly, and said sharply: "Mencius" said, Gongsun Chou discussed Yi Yin's release of Taijia, and Yun 'The monarch is not virtuous, can the courtiers put the monarch down'? Regardless of whether Yi Yin exiled Taijia or usurped the throne and stood on his own, the king, this is a great rebellion! Song Hong regards himself as Yi Yin, and his unsubmissive heart is obvious! Yilu: Cover the three tribes! In the words of the ministers, just one resignation may not be enough to punish his crimes, and at the same time, it is also difficult to convince the public and set an example! ”
Ling Hule was frightened and turned pale, and said: "Song Hong's kind eyebrows and good intentions, how can he be a rebellious thief!" I asked the queen mother what 'Yi Yin is sufficient' meant, and the queen mother didn't tell me. It's been a long time, that's what it means! He went down to the hall, patted Huang Rong's arm who was kneeling on the ground, praised him, and said, "Huang Changshi, you are a loyal minister!" Hesitating, he said, "Although Song Hong is very rebellious, I still have to listen to the opinion of the queen mother on what to do about this matter." "Command left and right," Go and call Agua! I'll listen to him too! ”
The courtiers divided into two ways, on the one hand, they sent Song Hong's recital book to the Zuo family, and on the other hand, they invited Xin Er into the palace.
From the mouths of the courtiers, Xin Er knew Huang Rong's advice to Ling Hule.
After entering the palace, Xin Er glanced at Huang Rong and didn't pay much attention to him.
Zuo has arrived.
Xin Er rushed to Zuo's and Ling Hule bowed.
Zuo's expression was originally unhappy, but before Xin Er came, she might have been blaming Ling Hule. Seeing Xin Er's arrival, a smile bloomed at the corner of her mouth, she changed her tone, and said gently: "General, this is Song Hong's resignation recital, you can take a look at it first." ”
Xin Er responded: "Yes." ”
Huang Rong presented Song Hong's recital to Xin Er, who stood in the hall, looking at ten lines at a glance, and quickly read it.
Zuo asked, "What does the general think should be done with this matter?" ”
"The queen mother must have made up her mind, and the minister dares to ask for it."
Zuo bit his red lip and said angrily: "Where do I have any opinions? It's the king, very assertive! ”
Xin Er let out an "oh" and asked with a smile: "Dare to ask the king, what is the holy decision?" ”
Zuo glanced at Ling Hule and said, "Let him tell you himself!" ”
Ling Hule had just been taught a lesson by the Zuo clan, his eyes turned around, and he said timidly: "Song Hong is rebellious, and it is appropriate to punish the three clans!" ”
Xin Er said in his heart: "I have to knock Huang Rong." This man is loyal, but he is too eager and vicious.
"First of all, he was silent, poisoned Ji Wei, blamed Duan Chengsun, and pulled Song Fang into the water, and that's it. Now, he actually wants to borrow Zhang Tan's book to frame him again, and punish the three clans of the Song clan! This is excessive.
"After all, the Song family is a Dingxi valve clan, with deep roots, big branches and leafy leaves, and the children, in-laws, former officials, and friends of the family are all over the government and the opposition! This time, it was a fluke to be able to punish Song Fang and force Song Hong to resign. When it's time to stop, stop it. No man is content. If you are still not satisfied with this result, and think about destroying the three clans again, Pan Kuan, Zhang Hun, Chen Sun, and even Lu Shuang will inevitably hurt them, and they will inevitably rise up against me. In the end, Song Jiagu will be greatly injured, and I, probably won't be able to get better!
"In all things, there must be a little lack in order to persevere. Such a simple truth, Huang Jinghuan, why don't you understand? ”
Since the day Ji Wei was poisoned, for a while, Xin Er can be said to have exhausted his efforts.
From Ji Wei's case to yesterday's Zhang Tan's book, one link after another, Xin Er made a total of three key decisions.
The first one is to enable Cao, the school affairs who have been unknown, and at the first time, he seized the initiative to investigate the case.
The second one was in the deadlock situation in which Duan Chengsun was beaten to death and refused to bite the Song side no matter how he was tortured, he came up with the long-planned proposal to establish the post of "Recording the Three Mansions". and gave up this position of a powerful minister comparable to "Lu Shang Shushi" to Yan Kuan. As a result, the split and confrontation between the Fan family and the Song family were caused, and at the same time a heavy blow was dealt to the Song family, so the situation was solved.
The last one, taking advantage of the victory, pursued and instructed Zhang Tan to write a letter and falsely accuse Song Hong.
If Song Hong resigns because of this, it would be the best. If you refuse to resign, it doesn't matter, Xiner still has a backhand.
His back hand was to order others to write another book and involve Song Wuflaw, saying that when Ling Hufeng was seriously injured, Song Wuflawless, Song Fang, Song Hong and others conspired to ask Song Wuflawless to falsely claim to be pregnant, or adopt the clan as a son, replace Ling Hule, and claim the throne as the king.
Because there is no real evidence, this kind of report can be regarded as "rumor" at most, so Xin Er actually did not expect to completely destroy the Song family by relying on these two books. His purpose is to further attack the Song family again, so that Song Hong will be too busy to take care of himself and have no time to take care of the Song side anymore, so as to remove the backbone of the Song family in the court one by one, so that they will be slowly marginalized.
Now, before he could use his back hand, Song Hong asked to resign, and for Xin Er, his goal had been overachieved.
Xin Er thought again: "'The Lord Shaoguo is suspicious', this is really true. If the monarch is too young, he will be easily seduced by traitors. Fortunately, the previous 'I' had saved Ling Hule, otherwise, if there are other people by Ling Hule's side now, I don't want to say that I have today's powerful position, but I'm afraid that even my life will have to be admired by the snort of others.
"Fortunately, the people around Ling Hule now are not those traitors and villains who are vying for power and profit! It's me Xin Agua, who puts national affairs first! ”
I consciously commented on myself very pertinently.
Xin Er said calmly: "Song Hong's empty words are certainly rebellious, but his clan has tasted the special merits of the state, and his people have also set things right and welcomed the righteous deeds of the ancestors. The minister thought that it was too small to destroy the three clans just because of his words. ”
Ling Hule asked, "Ah Gua, then you say, what should I do?" ”
"The minister is foolish, let him resign, let him return to his hometown, but also."
Ling Hule secretly looked at Zuo's family, and then at Huang Rong, unwillingly, and muttered: "This punishment is too light!" ”
"If the king is too light, he can imprison his children and prohibit them from going out."
Ling Hule blurted out: "Okay! After speaking, he hurriedly looked at Zuo again and asked, "Queen Mother, do you say it's okay?" ”
The Zuo family has no good impression of the Song family, and the lesson is because she is old and knows that it is impossible to destroy the three clans of the Song family, and Ling Hule is still a child, and one mouth is "exterminating the three clans", if the words are spread, it will inevitably be discussed by the scholars of the government and the opposition A sentence of "unkindness", which will also have a bad impact on Ling Hule's future ruling of the dynasty, so she will be very angry.
After listening to Xin Er's suggestion, Zuo agreed and said, "Just do it." Song Hong thought of Song Fang and asked, "General, has Song Fang confessed?" ”
Xin Er remained silent and said: "Song Fang is confident in his clan power and has not yet spit out. But Song Hong is now resigning himself, thinking that within three or two days at most, Song Fang will honestly confess. ”
"Good!" Zuo's willow eyebrows furrowed and said, "Song Fang is really bold enough to poison the officials of the imperial court!" ”
"Isn't it!"
"Severe punishment must be meted out!"
"When he confesses, the minister will ask the king and the middle palace to be punished!"
"Good!"
Out of the palace, Xin Er motioned for Huang Rong to be in the same car with him.
The two sat down opposite each other, and the ox cart started.
In the swaying carriage, the curtains were hanging, the light was dim, and for a long time, Xin Er was silent.
Huang Rong was uneasy, plucked up his courage, and said, "Ming Gong, Rong knows that he is wrong. ”
"What's wrong?"
"You shouldn't talk to the king in private, please punish the three clans of the Song family."
"Jing Huan, you have to think more about things and think about them thoroughly. Song, Yan, Zhang, and Koji, and are the gate valves, although they can be divided through interests, but if you want to punish the three clans of the Song family, have you ever thought about what will they think about Pankuan, Zhang Hun, and Koji Shuang? The Song family's today, will it be their tomorrow? Will they sit idly by? The officials of the prefectures in the DPRK and the central government, the Taishou of more than ten counties in the country, and half of them are all friends of their families. ”
"I can't stand it."
"Jing Huan, do things for people, and leave a line. Both for others and for oneself. ”
"Yes."
"I am not to blame for the things you did behind my back. Today, I'll leave you a line. ”
The voice of Xin Er's words was calm and quiet, and when he heard it in Huang Rong's ears, it was like thunder.
The shock made him tremble, turned over and bowed down in the spacious carriage, kowtowed again and again, and said: "Ming Gong is magnanimous, Rong is grateful, and he will never dare to do it again in the future!" ”
"Get up."
Huang Rong trembled and got up, didn't dare to go back to sitting, and bent over to stand in front of Xin Er's couch.
Xin Er pulled the curtain, looked back at the Four Seasons Palace, looked at it for a while, looked back, and thought about it.
He said, "The king is eight years old this year, right? ”
"It's nine years old."
Eight years old is based on the age algorithm of later generations, which is the real age, and nine years old is the current age algorithm, which is a virtual age.
"I'm nine years old."
"Yes."
No wonder Zuo said that Ling Hule was assertive, nine years old, he was already a teenager, and he was no longer the child who was rescued back then.
Xin Er remembered that four or five days ago, Ling Huyan pretended to observe Liu Jialuo's belly for a long time, asserting that she must be pregnant with a girl, and said in her heart: "I don't know if Shenai guessed correctly?" He muttered to himself, "It's time to marry the king." ”
