Chapter 324: Major Events in the Imperial Court
Chapter 324
Zhang Fangping entered the central government again, and took the bachelor of Duanming Hall as the Hanlin Undertaker.
Han Qi is wary of Wang Anshi, since Wang Anshi wrote a book of 10,000 words in the third year of Jiayou, the differences between the two in terms of thinking, style, and governance, such as learning, governing the world, and governing politics, have been shown.
It is said that Wang Anshi once discussed with Han Qi, and the dispute disagreed, so he said: "In this way, it is the work of the vulgar officials." β
Han Qi was unmoved, and replied: "I don't know each other, I, Han Qi, am really a layman." β
The prime minister of advance and retreat, and his draft proposals are all out of the Hanlin bachelor. In the old system, the bachelor has a que, and the first hall is for it.
If you want to use this old system, it should be Wang Anshi.
Six years have passed, and Wang Anshi's political views have become increasingly apparent, so now Han Qi does not want Wang Anshi to enter the forbidden forest to prevent too much influence on the emperor.
So Zhang Fangping was found to block the way, Lao Zhang did this after the second system, he was born as an old bachelor, and he did this work, and his identity and qualifications were flawless.
In fact, Wang Anshi is now mourning for his mother in Jiangning, and by the way, he lectures and writes, and his disciples have received a large group of people - including Lu Dian, Gong Yuan, Li Ding, Cai Bian, Hou Shuxian, Jia Qiao and others.
Speaking of a bad thing, during Wang Anshi's funeral, he was so sloppy that he couldn't see it, and he had a friend who was a high-ranking official nearby, and wrote a letter to express his condolences and let him send it in a hurry.
Hurriedly came to Wang Anshi's house, and saw a sloppy old soldier sitting on the straw, so he handed him the letter: "Old army, I will give the letter to your housekeeper." β
Wang Anshi opened the letter, and was so anxious that he hurriedly adjusted: "Hey, what's the matter with you old man?" How dare you privately open your family's letters?! β
Only then did the old man raise his head: "I am Wang Anshi." β
Cousin Mouth Cannon and Lao Wang Bazi were born incompatible, and after various incidents, they are almost not in the same place now, and they don't even bother to go to Wang Anshi's mother's funeral.
Then after knowing this, "The Theory of Distinguishing Adultery" came out.
Even Su Zhe and Su Shi couldn't stand it, and the brothers had the advice of "hee, it is very serious".
But Su You didn't persuade them, they are all stubborn donkeys, and they have the energy to expect them to change their temper, so I might as well get more citrus saplings.
Today's situation makes Han Qi really a little scared.
If you don't have a person, you are qualified to go to school, and a year later, you will be a fish in the pond.
The court can't accommodate too many pond fish now, because the tearing has started again.
Sima Guang has been unusually active lately.
As the former secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the current status of the Zhishuin, it is simply perfect.
Because the death of Emperor Renzong involved a lot of professional knowledge about etiquette, Sima Guang said that this was his home field.
First of all, there is the issue of coordination.
It was an academic issue, but when it came to the emperor, it became a political issue.
The major affairs of the country are in worship and worship.
Originally, the Great Song Dynasty has been worshiped like this so far - the winter solstice, the summer solstice, the worship of Haotian God, the emperor and the earth, with the Taizu;
On the first month of the first month, Xin Qi Valley, Mengxia Pheasant Worship, Mengdong Sacrifice Shenzhou Diyi, Ether Sect Matching;
On the first month of the first month, Xin worships the emperor and is matched with Xuanzu;
Ji Qiu enjoys the Ming Hall, worships the God of Haotian, and matches the true sect.
Now the question arises, what should Renzong do?
Hanlin scholar Wang Qi and others cited history: "After the accession to the throne of the Tang Dynasty, Ji Qiu enjoyed the Ming Hall, and his father Su Zong was matched with Haotian God; Dezong ascended the throne, and he also used his father to match Haotian God. β
"So according to this precedent, I think we should follow the way of Zhou Gong's strict father, so that Renzong is also worthy of Mingtang."
Someone seconded: "Bachelor Wang is right, in strict accordance with the statement of the "Book of Filial Piety", the suburbs of Zhou Gong worship Houji to match the sky, and worship the king of Wen in the Ming Hall to match God." This is the so-called 'filial piety is greater than the strict father, and the strict father is greater than the heaven.' 'Yes! β
Then someone objected: "No, Duke Zhou is just the ruling minister, and it is King Cheng who actually performs the sacrifice, and King Wen is King Cheng's grandfather!" This is called 'the government is the prince of Zhou, and the sacrifice is the king.' ββ
Someone immediately extended: "So now I am towards Zhenzong, just like King Wen of Zhou; Renzong is like King Wu of Zhou. Although the king of martial arts has the karma of matching the sky, he does not have the sacrifice of matching the sky. I didn't hear that King Cheng abolished the sacrifice of his grandfather King Wen for the sake of his father King Wu. Therefore, there is Grandpa Zhenzong occupying the position, and Father Renzong has no way to match Mingtang. β
Immediately, someone objected: "Pushing the sacrifice of Zhou Gong with the heart of Confucius is Father Yan; With the heart of Duke Zhou as the sacrifice of the king, it is Grandpa Yan. So whether it is Grandpa Yan or Dad Yan, it should actually be okay. β
"Therefore, the matching method in the Tang Dynasty was the generation of the ceremonial officials Du Hongjian and Wang Jing at that time, who read poetry and books without knowing the scriptures, and the nonsense has been extended to the present, causing everyone to regard the use of Dad with heaven as a foregone conclusion."
Then someone deduced and found that it was wrong: "Wait a minute, I found another problem, if we are dead to the "Book of Filial Piety" in the 'filial piety is greater than the strict father, and the strict father is greater than the heaven.' 'This sentence, at the beginning of the throne of the true sect, it should be Taizong's father who is worthy of heaven! But Taizong is worthy of the land of Shenzhou! This is our system. β
There are different opinions, some say that Renzong is not worthy, and some say that Zhenzong is not worthy.
There are even more exaggerated, saying that Xuanzu, Zhenzong, and Renzong are not worthy, this statement is too iron-headed, the reason is very simple, you know.
In the imperial history, King Cheng said: "The Book of Changes says: 'The first king made music and revered virtue, and recommended God to match the ancestral examination. 'So the ancestor, the test of the emperor, has always been. Why don't we adjust it and see if it worksβ"
"Emperor Fengrenzong deserves to enjoy the Ming Hall, which conforms to the theory of the "Great Easy" and the strict father's gift of the "Book of Filial Piety";
"Move the true sect to match the Mengxia Pheasant, eh, this is in line with the story of Tang Zhenguan and Xianqing;"
"Then Emperor Taizong is still equipped with the Xinqi Valley on the first lunar month and the Mengdong sacrifice to Shenzhou - this is in line with the story of this dynasty! Perfect! β
Sima Guang resolutely resisted: "The heart of filial piety is first of all to respect the father!" The saint made a ritual, and he did not dare to exceed it. β
"We should pay attention to the context of Confucius's words."
"With the virtue of a saint in the Duke of Zhou, he will become a peaceful business, make ceremonies and make music, and King Wen is his father."
That's why Confucius quoted this story to prove that the virtue of the sage is greater than filial piety, and to answer Zengzi's question.
"Confucius did not say that whoever has the world must match his father with heaven, and then it can be considered filial piety."
"In modern times, those who worship the Ming Hall are all matched with God by their fathers, which is the meaning of the "Book of Filial Piety", and violates the etiquette of the ancestors!"
"Taizu is the ancestor of the emperor, and he is better than Zhou Houji;"
"Taizong and Zhenzong are the emperor's sects, and they are more literary and martial than Zhou's;"
"After the death of Zhenzong, Yu Mingtang matched God, and he did not lose the righteousness of ancient rites."
"Although Renzong is rich in merit and virtue, he should not be in the position of Eryi."
"Those who suggest that the True Sect be matched with the Ren Sect are afraid that the sacrifice method is not in line. Don't talk about theory, only talk about human feelings, this is dethroned by the ancestor and entered the father! Where does filial piety exist? β
"If you do this, not only will it violate the etiquette, but I'm afraid that Renzong won't want to, right? Therefore, we insist on following the old rites, or use the true sect to match the five emperors in the Ming Hall. Don't move like that, okay......"
The bachelor of the Guanwen Palace and the bachelor of Hanlin said: "Wait a minute, who was it just now, what did Cheng say in the imperial history?" β
"The Yi said, 'The first king made music and worshiped virtue, and recommended God to match the ancestors.'" - This means that grandpa and dad can be worthy of heaven! β
"So what's there to talk about? Ancestors and exams can be matched with suburbs and Mingtang, and the two are staggered in some positions, isn't it okay? β
"Now thousands of years have passed since the Zhou Dynasty, in the end, that sentence, is it Yan Father, Yan Zu or Yan together, we dare not say that our understanding must be correct."
"Although it is true that the Zhou Dynasty did not abolish the text and move to the military, and the abolition of the martial arts and moved to the Cheng, but the "Yi" matching test said, the strict father of the "Book of Filial Piety" said that the past dynasties followed, and people did not necessarily have no people's reason, right?"
"Renzong succeeded to the body, and the world was in Da'an for 42 years, and the merit can be described as great. At the beginning of today's temple, it was not matched, for fear that it would hurt the righteousness of the new emperor's strict father's filial piety. β
"So I think it's better to follow the earliest plan, and the True Sect and Renzong will match the Mingtang together......"
In the end, everyone happily decided, after a lot of quarrels, to maintain the original plan.
It's been such a big quarrel - white noise.
Su You read the newspaper and sneered: "Noisy, this is just a warm-up, and it will be lively in the future!" β
Putting aside the boring newspapers and taking the reports of Kuizhou, the statistics of the autumn harvest are undoubtedly gratifying.
Su You has fulfilled its promise to Kuizhou Hanyi - every family has grain in stock, and every household has chickens and ducks.
People are working hard in the terraced fields, and children are running and playing on the ridges, singing the latest popular children's song in Kuizhou: "To eat baba, look for flowers!" If you want food, find the virtuous! Kill fat pigs, fill sausages! Eat enough to go down the mountain and bask in the sun! β
Then he was fished over by the father who was beating rice on the edge of the field and hung on the mixing bucket, and he was slapped on the ass and screamed: "The puppy doesn't learn well, obviously he is full and goes down the mountain to enter the school!" Lao Tzu is tired and tired, Tanhualang summoned you down the mountain, so that you will not be knowledgeable? It's for you to bask in the sun and fish every day?! β
Whether it is pain or happiness, in short, Xiao Su's prestige has reached its peak in Kuizhou City in this autumn.
