Liu Ziyong, as a subordinate official of Dahonglu, participated in the reception of Gumo's envoy a few days ago, and he specially asked the translator to ask the envoy in detail, and the Gumo envoy seemed to be intimidated and praised Ren Hong, claiming that Gumo's awakening was all the credit of Ren Hong.

But from Gumo's mouth, Liu Ziyong caught a flaw.

"The Gumo people said that Ren Hong held the festival and saw the king of Gumo......"

Liu Ziyong looked at the people in the hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion: "But as everyone knows, Ren Hong only escorted the Wusun envoy back this time, and there is no mission in addition, so the Son of Heaven has never given a festival!" It must be a forgery! ”

Chang Hui laughed out loud, he had expected this matter, so he took out a silk letter and presented it to Yang Chang, the prime minister and the imperial historian: "Fu Jiezi, the Marquis of Yiyang, wrote a letter the day before yesterday, saying that Ren Hong accidentally fell down and flashed his waist when he crossed the Tianshan Mountain in the Western Regions. ”

"Therefore, walking requires a cane, the chieftain of the small barbarian state does not know the etiquette of the state, and the king of Gumo is bound by his courtiers, in a panic, he sees Ren Hong's cane as a scepter, how strange is it? As far as I know, some small states in the Western Regions still think that all Han envoys are Bowang Marquis. ”

This remark caused a burst of laughter, and Xin Wuxian and the other lieutenants knew that this was Fu Jiezi's nonsense, but they didn't care about it.

Liu Ziyong sneered: "So Chang Jun thinks that Ren Hong is not a correction? ”

Chang Hui turned his head: "By no means, Fu Jiezi has sent the cause and effect of the incident back by galloping, Ren Hong has persuaded King Wusun and King Gumo with interests from beginning to end, and has never lobbied under the pretense of the words of the Son of Heaven." ”

But he never thought that this was a trap set by Liu Ziyong, and he laughed: "It's all about interests? Was it the same when Zhang Sheng was in the Huns? ”

At the mention of this name, Chang Hui's face suddenly darkened.

Zhang Sheng, this is Chang Hui, and the names that everyone who followed Su Wu's envoy will never forget.

It was the first year of Emperor Xiaowu Tianhan (100 BC), the Xiongnu and the Marquis of Yu Gang succeeded to the throne, surrendered his identity, called the son of Han Tianzi "Zhangrenxing", and wanted to restart the peace with the pro, so Su Wu made the Xiongnu.

It happened that someone in the Xiongnu was plotting a coup d'état, wanting to kill Shan Yu and Ding Ling Wang Weilu, and then surrender to the Han Dynasty together, and Zhang Sheng, the deputy envoy of the mission at that time, also participated in it and secretly assisted in this matter.

As a result, Zhang Sheng surrendered to the Huns for fear of death, but implicated Su Wu and Chang Hui, and was detained by the Huns for nineteen years!

Liu Ziyong grabbed Chang Hui's life: "Zhang Sheng was also out of interest back then, and he made his own opinions." And Ren Hong is the same, he was instructed to escort the Wusun envoy into the court, but he ignored it and went to do other things, which is to violate the order! ”

Chang Hui said solemnly: "Zhang Sheng harmed Sudian's vassal country and us, and Ren Hong rescued hundreds of soldiers trapped in the Luntai canal plow, punished Qiuzi for the Han Dynasty, connected the Western Regions, and the mission of escorting the Wusun envoy has not fallen, one underground, one heaven, how can it be compared." ”

"That's right, this is the difference between the great harm of correction and the non-harm of correction!"

After Emperor Wu's dynasty, Confucianism and law converged, and Confucianism was passed through Confucianism, and Confucianism also practiced law, although Liu Ziyong was virtuous literature, but also through "Da Du Law".

"The correction is harmless, the fine is four taels, there is no need to cut the job, you can receive a small reward, but you must not be a marquis."

"If the land is restored, then the envoys will compete to take advantage of the danger, and they will be born in the barbarians, and they will make difficulties for the country, and they will gradually become unopenable. I believe that most people who make their own decisions outside the country will only incur disasters like Zhang Sheng, which is not conducive to the country, and will not get such good results as Ren Hong. ”

Liu Ziyong said awe-inspiringly: "In order to plug this omission, in order to let the future envoys not compete to follow suit, why not let Ren Hong suffer a little grievance?" ”

Xin Wuxian was annoyed when he heard this, and his hand habitually touched his waist, but he still didn't touch the hilt of the sword, so he only got up and shouted: "Others are wronged, meritorious but not rewarded, it's not you, Dr. Liu, who is wronged, of course it doesn't matter, if Ren Hong doesn't become a marquis, wouldn't it chill the hearts of people with lofty ideals in the world?" The soldiers shed blood and sweat and made meritorious contributions, but they were said by a few Confucian scholars in a few words, who is willing to go to trouble for the country, let you wait for these virtuous literature? ”

Seeing that a new round of scolding was about to be set off again, where the officials were sitting against the south wall, there was a burst of laughter:

"Dr. Liu's words are wrong, don't say that Ren Hong is not a correction, even if he is really a correction, it doesn't hurt!"

But it was Yang Yun who rode Chang Waiter, he watched others arguing, his mouth was itching, and he held it for a long time, and finally couldn't hold it anymore.

Imperial Doctor Yang Chang suddenly secretly said that it was not good, and sure enough, the old prime minister Wang, who had been pretending to be confused, suddenly stopped sleeping, raised his head and glared at him, and everyone in the hall also looked at him.

"I didn't tell him to say it." Yang Chang wanted to cry without tears.

Yang Yun didn't care about his father being noticed by everyone at all, but said eloquently: "I heard about an old story from the previous dynasty, and I will tell you about it. ”

"When Emperor Xiaowu was the emperor, Dr. Xu Yan made customs, and Xu Yan made corrections, and even let Jiaodong and Lu Guo privately drum and cast salt and iron. Imperial Doctor Zhang Tang impeached Xu Yan for the great harm of correction and punishment, and the law was to death. ”

"That's how Xu Yan argued for himself at that time."

"He said that the righteousness of "Spring and Autumn", the doctor went out of Xinjiang, and he could settle the society, save the people, and specialize."

"And Emperor Xiaowu asked the final army to interrogate, and the final army said: 'In ancient times, the vassal states were divided into different customs, and there were no communication for hundreds of miles, and there were sometimes appointments, and the situation of safety and danger was changing, so it was appropriate for the envoy not to be arbitrary; But if today is one, thousands of miles are in the same wind, Xu Yan is clearly patrolling the Han fiefdom, but he calls it out of the territory, what does this mean? ’”

"So Xu Yan was punished for being poor, and virtuous writers shouldn't know about this matter, right?"

and Chang Hui was told by Liu Ziyong as an example of Zhang Sheng just now, as if he grabbed his tail, and now when he hears Xu Yan's name, the virtuous writers have turned their faces.

How can you not know that Xu Yan is regarded as the first martyr who sacrificed for this cause by the virtuous literature who opposed the monopoly of salt and iron!

Yang Yun continued: "Although Xu Yan was punished, his words were very reasonable, and I listened to Professor Da Honglu's "Ram Spring and Autumn" by His Majesty's side, and there was also such a sentence in it, who is the power? Those who are in power are contrary to the scriptures, and then there are those who are good. In virtuous literature, there are many people who read "Ram Spring and Autumn", this sentence is correct, right? ”

After Emperor Xiaowu commended the Six Classics, the once glorious era of Zixue has passed forever, and there is no longer a difference between a hundred schools.

When discussing the origin of the nine streams and ten schools, the "Historical Records", which dared to put Taoism first, was the last swan song of the Zixue era.

The era of scripture has come, unstoppable, the Han dynasty and the opposition, whether it is a general, a messenger, or an official, will learn poetry and books, or as a stepping stone to the ranks, or as a cover for some of their own behaviors.

At that time, the cool official Zhang Tang was deeply aware of this, and he recruited a lot of scholars who knew the Confucian scriptures in the Imperial Governor's Office, and packaged the shell of warmth and affection for the strict punishment and strict law.

Yang Yun is also very proficient in "Spring and Autumn", but he reads it as a history book, not a classic.

"The Western Regions and the Central Plains are strange, thousands of miles away, Ren Hong was ordered to escort the Wusun envoy, encountered an ambush by Qiuzi, the situation of safety, breathing changed, could it be that the Qiuci people have a knife on their necks, and they have to send someone back to ask for instructions first? Therefore, the envoy outside the territory should have the right to be arbitrary! ”

Liu Ziyong waved Han Lu and wanted to give Ren Hong a charge of "correction is not harmful", and now Yang Yun picked up "Ram Spring and Autumn" as a weapon to stab him, attacking the shield of the son with the spear of the son, Liu Ziyong didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

At this time, Zhu Sheng of Jiujiang County shouted: "Who said that the Western Regions are outside the territory? ”

"Shiyun: The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister! The states of the Western Regions once called themselves vassals to Emperor Xiaowu, and they are also the territory of the Han Dynasty! “

How do you remember this?

Yang Yun found that virtuous literature was even more shameless than he imagined, and said with a smile: "Then why do you say that Ren Hong is good at provoking the border?" It's obviously a counterinsurgency! As a minister, can you attack when you see rebellion? ”

In the field they are good at, virtuous literature will not give in for half a step, they began to take turns, arguing with Yang Yun word by word about the words of the ram in the Spring and Autumn Period, all kinds of quotations and classics, and the captains opposite them yawned, but they couldn't interject.

Until Yang Chang, the imperial historian, stopped the dispute.

"Stop!"

Yang Chang had a dark face and announced that today's meeting would end here.

"Zhu Qing and the lieutenant, the councilor, the doctor, and the Lang official spoke freely, the atmosphere was modest, and the discussion was very good."

Doctor Yu Shi is simply talking nonsense with his eyes open.

"The historian has recorded today's words, and the great confessor will hand them over to His Majesty and the general for decision, so let you disperse."

The virtuous writers got up angrily, and they were still arguing about this fight, but Huan Kuan was silently recording from beginning to end, without saying a word.

Zhu Sheng asked him with some reproach: "The second prince is obviously talented, why didn't Fang Cai say anything to argue with that Yang Yun?" Could it be that he is afraid that he is the son of the Imperial Doctor? ”

Huan Kuan shook his head: "I wasn't even afraid of the real imperial historian Sang Hongyang back then, how could I be afraid of Yang Yun?" ”

"It's just that today's so-called assembly, even if we win, it will not be beneficial to the final result, and it is useless to say it."

Since Huan Kuan was let down by the general at the Salt and Iron Conference, he was no longer as naïve as before, and began to fold his fingers and said to Zhu Sheng: "This meeting is only presided over by the prime minister and the imperial historian, and the great general Sima will not come, and the three Chinese and Korean officials, the former general Han Zeng, the right general Zhang Anshi, and the later general Zhao Chongguo, are also nowhere to be seen. ”

"And several powerful figures in Jiuqing, the servant Du Yannian, the great Honglu Wei Xian, the subordinate Su Wu, the guard Fan Mingyou, and Zongzheng Liu De were not present."

The real power bosses in the DPRK and China basically did not want to attend the meeting, but the prime minister and the imperial doctor who were in charge of stamping the edict were arguing here with a group of small shrimps, even if the two sides fought for the head, did it make sense?

Huan Kuan put away his pen and ink and sighed: "The person who can really make up his mind is not here, what is the use of me saying a few more words, no matter how reasonable it is?" Perhaps at the time of our controversy, the princes had already made a decision in the inner court! ”

……

On the other hand, after waiting out of the Prime Minister's Mansion and dividing the left and right, Yang Chang, the imperial historian, also became angry with his son:

"You showy little, do you think I'm really stupid? None of the people who really took the idea participated in the assembly, so what is the use of what you just said? ”

Yang Yun smiled and said: "It's useful, help the adults make a statement, and save yourself from being blamed by your mother again." And Ren Hong doesn't care whether he is a marquis or not, at least my Yang family has helped him because of the old friendship of the previous generation. ”

"You!"

Yang Chang was so angry that his fingers were shaking, but Yang Yun stopped smiling and said solemnly: "What's more, what adults can think of, I can't think of it?" ”

He could even guess the tendencies of the bigwigs with real power.

"Feng Fengshi, a close confidant of the former general Han Zeng, also went to the Western Regions, and most of him, like Zhao Chongguo, a later general from a good family in the six counties, supported Ren Hong's marquis."

"Needless to say, Su Wu, a vassal country, has conveyed his meaning through Chang Hui."

"Although the servant Du Yannian passed down the law, he has always advocated quiet and inaction, resting with the people, and less provocation, and the discussion of salt and iron was initiated by him, and virtuous literature was also recruited by him."

"As the emperor, Wei Xian, the great Honglu, is the leader of virtuous literature, and these two may support virtuous literature."

"However, Fan Mingyou, the captain of the guard, is the son-in-law of the general, and he was named a marquis by General Du Liao's attack on Wuhuan, and it stands to reason that he should stand on the side of the military merits, but it is impossible for the Han to open up a front in the east and west at the same time, so Fan Mingyou, who has always advocated the use of troops against the left of the Xiongnu, may be happy to see Ren Hongwufeng."

"As for the right general Zhang Anshi, Zongzheng and Liu De, these two have always obeyed the orders of the general, and their attitude ......is not clear."

The political disputes in the Taishi Gongshu are all living cases, Yang Yun has studied since he was a child, knows the past and the present, and has a clear view of the situation between the DPRK and China.

Anyway, he knows better than his father.

Yang Chang was a little stunned, and only came back to his senses after half a ring, feeling a little faceless, so he waved his sleeves to drive Yang Yun away: "Little son, as a lowly official, but he talks about court affairs in vain, and sooner or later he will cause trouble for me." Go home, tomorrow is a day of rest and you don't have to go into the palace to drive, punish you for thinking about it at home! ”

"No!" Yang Yun promised loudly, and after Yang Chang walked away for a while, he found that his son was still quietly following him.

Seeing that his father was about to blow up, Yang Yun squeezed his eyebrows: "I want to ask, is the adult going home for dinner today?" ”

"I'm so angry with you, what do you eat!"

"Good, then I will tell my mother that the adults think the dishes she cooks are not delicious."

Yang Chang was stunned all of a sudden, and turned back with a smile: "Yun'er, do you really want to force your father to death?" ”

……

As the imperial historian of the dynasty, the Yang family has moved to Shangguanli between Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace, which is south of the Prime Minister's Mansion and Jingzhao Yin Mansion, covering a large area, and most of the people who live are dignitaries and children of the clan, known as the first mile of Chang'an.

After Yang Yun went home, there was nothing to do all night, and the next day, because it was a holiday, Yang Yun did not have to enter the palace, and was singing leisurely at home, but there was a knock on the door in Yang's house.

After a while, the family supervisor came to inform: "Gentleman, it's Zhang Sheng." ”

Yang Yun was unkempt, laughed when he heard this, and went out wearing a thin Zen robe, and sure enough, he saw a guy holding a noodle fan walking in.

"Zigao didn't know that I thought about it at home, so he came to accompany me?"

Zigao is Yang Yun's friend, Zhang Chang, who works under the servant Du Yannian, has two habits, one is that he likes to paint thrushes for his wife, and he must paint them every day.

The second is that no matter where he goes, he carries a small fan of noodles, and as far as Yang Yun knows, he even holds it in the extremely cold autumn and winter.

When Yang Yun asked him why he brought a fan on a cold day, Zhang Chang replied: "It is used to cover your face, and when you meet someone who you don't want to see or say hello, you can block it with a casual face and pretend not to see him." ”

Yang Yun was speechless, Zhang Chang was really more crazy than himself, although he also studied poetry and books, but he was not formal, so the two had similar interests. However, there is also a difference, Yang Yun is eyes are higher than the top, and he looks down on corrupt Confucian officials, who he scolds whom. Zhang Chang is the same dust as the light, funny and humorous, and can mingle with anyone.

Zhang Chang couldn't help but say that he pulled Yang Yun and walked out, and said in his mouth:

"Ziyou, he's here!"

"Who's coming?" It's late autumn now, and it's a little cold outside, Yang Yun didn't have time to go back to the room to get his clothes, so he only snatched the robe of the family supervisor and put it on, which was a bit nondescript, but if his father asked him to think about it behind closed doors, he had completely forgotten about it.

"Who else can make the people who have been talking about Chang'an Chaoye City recently?"

Zhang Chang thrust his face into the back of his neck, hooked his shoulders with Yang Yun, and laughed: "Of course, it is Ren Hong, who destroyed a country by himself, rode up the Tianshan Mountain alone, and broke the Hulu with a fire ox, he came to Chang'an!" ”

"People have entered the horizontal gate, and they are about to reach the north gate of Weiyang Palace!"
