Everyone has their own position and demands, especially above officialdom.

This is true of the Qing officials, and so are the traitors.

In the face of any resolution, the attitude expressed by ministers is by no means simply judged by right and wrong, good and evil, such officials cannot be said to be none, but they are absolutely rare, and in the long history of history, there are occasionally one or two, which are destined to go down in history and become legends.

At the very least, once Zhenguan was in the past, there was no such "pure minister......

Looking at the ministers of Zhenguan, there are "capable ministers" everywhere, but there are few "clean officials". The eldest grandson Wuji, Xiao Yu, Gao Shilian, Cen Wenwen and others have outstanding abilities and have made immortal contributions to the prosperity and stability of the empire, but in fact, these people are all for the expansion and development of their respective families and powers, and they do everything they can.

Even a gentleman like Fang Xuanling is well versed in the way of "wise self-preservation", and it is true that he is conscientious and sleeps at night, but the art of officialdom is so slippery that no one can catch the slightest bit of the handle, so he can be well-connected and stand tall.

Perhaps, only Ma Zhousuan's last "pure minister" praise......

There was silence in the hall for a long time before Cen Wenwen spoke: "Silla is attached, it was proposed by its queen, and now he has rushed to Chang'an in person, intending to present the national seal and credentials to His Majesty in person, and ask the Tang Dynasty to crown a prince and go to Silla to succeed to the throne. Therefore, Weichen thought that His Majesty should agree. ”

He is one of the few ministers in the court who hugs the emperor's thigh as always, because his family is weak and weak, in the court of the Guanlong nobles and Jiangnan scholars, he must be left and right to ensure his own status, rather than this, it is better to keep up with the emperor's pace, and follow the trend well.

The emperor's intentions are known throughout the dynasty.

He is now showing that he supports the emperor, which can be regarded as a correct position......

His Majesty Li Er's heart was comfortable, but his face was as calm as water, he glanced at the ministers lightly, and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji groaned slightly, and then said: "The words of the servant, the old man is serious, and the old minister has no objections. ”

As the leader of the Guanlong aristocracy, the eldest grandson Wuji's words can be regarded as an official who represents the Guanlong aristocracy in the DPRK and the central government.

In fact, as the most intimate force with the Li Tang royal family, the Guanlong nobles are happy to see the royal children divide the world, and among the princes of His Majesty Li Er, which one of them does not have a close relationship with the Guanlong nobles?

Once His Majesty Li Er's sons divide the world, everyone's interests can be immediately extended to the various feudal states......

It's just that many feudal dynasties in history didn't end well in the end, so they opposed the policy of His Majesty Li Er's "feudal world" at the beginning.

No one wants to see a thriving empire turn back the clock on history because of a wrong policy, and finally fall into division and civil war.

This is also a matter of self-interest......

But now the situation is different, the queen of Silla is crying and shouting and asking for attachment, asking for the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty to be the king of Silla, why can't she make the trip?

As soon as the eldest grandson Wuji's words fell, Shangshu's right servant shot Zhang Xingcheng and objected: "Zhao Guogong's words are fallacious! The Tang Dynasty is powerful all over the world, although it relies on an invincible army, but it is possible to fight the world immediately, but how can it rule the world immediately? In the opinion of Wei Chen, the queen of Silla should be rejected for coming to Chang'an to request attachment, and he should be more gracious to dissolve his heart, and order the Tang Dynasty royal sailor to support the Kim clan in Silla, eliminate the rebellion, and help stabilize the government, which will inevitably make the people of Silla feel the power of the Tang Dynasty and sincerely respect. On the other hand, if the prince was imposed on Silla as king, it would inevitably cause the people of Silla to fear and resist, and in the years that followed, they would inevitably rebel continuously, making the empire anxious, and spending a lot of military money in that bitter and barren land, which really outweighed the losses......"

Balabala's big article, in the end, is the point - what is the use of Silla's bitter cold and barren land?

In fact, Zhang Xingcheng is also helpless.

The consensus of the Shandong family is to follow in the footsteps of Fang Jun all the way, help Fang Jun to become the head of Zaifu, and train him to become the spokesperson of the Shandong family in the court. Although Zhang Xingcheng is already the right servant of Shangshu, but who listens to what he, the zaifu, says?

It's just that the Guanlong nobles and the Jiangnan clan are both defeating in open and secret battles, and no one takes him seriously......

However, the feudal kings and the surrounding vassal states were seriously contrary to the interests of the Shandong family!

The Guanlong aristocracy relied on military merits, the founding of the country to support the Li Tang royal family all the way, and pursued never-ending foreign wars, so as to maintain their respective foundations.

The Jiangnan Shi clan relied on the deep-rooted ruling foundation in Jiangnan, especially the hairpin clan headed by the Xiao family, a descendant of the Liang Dynasty, who had unparalleled influence in Jiangnan.

And what does the Shandong family rely on to survive and carry forward?

Since the end of the Sui Dynasty, it has been suppressed by the imperial court, and the Shandong family of poetry and books and scriptures and righteousness is barren in the court, and the highest official position is Zhang Xingcheng, who has picked up a Shangshu right servant, and has no influence...... Without the ministers of the DPRK and China to fight for their interests, it would be difficult for the Shandong family to have political demands, and under the vicious circle, the situation was already precarious.

What we rely on is nothing more than the essence of the scriptures.

However, since the end of the Sui Dynasty, countless people of insight from Shandong families have clearly realized that even though they have the final right to interpret the history books and classics in the world and occupy a unique position in academics, they have no power to respond......

But even if you understand this, what's the use?

The power is almost divided, the plate is so big, there are so many pups, everyone occupies a good position, who will let you take a bite?

The Shandong family is also desperate!

Who said that he was on the wrong side of the team and didn't catch the big ship of His Majesty Li Er?

When Confucianism can rise again, the Shandong family will inevitably make a comeback, and Kong Yingda's compilation of the "Five Classics of Justice" once made the Shandong family see the hope of the revitalization of Confucianism, but the next successive foreign wars strangled this trend in the cradle......

Silla is attached, Zhang Xingcheng has no opinion, and he can't control it.

But the crown prince went to Silla to succeed to the throne, which he could not accept. As the highest official position of a Confucian student in the court, it is his natural duty to maintain Confucian orthodoxy, which is a hundred times more important than drilling the camp officialdom!

What is the orthodoxy of Confucianism?

Monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons!

To be a monarch should be like it, to be a courtier should be like a courtier, to be a father should be like a father, and to be a son should be like a son, so that you can be orderly and prosperous!

To put it simply, that is, all the people in the world perform their duties, and those who do not move will "go down and go up", and "usurp against them", and only then can the world be stable and the country can prosper.

Therefore, back then, the Shandong family supported Li Jiancheng, who occupied the position of righteousness, instead of His Majesty Li Er, who was more enterprising and ambitious!

In Zhang Xingcheng's view, this is justice, Taoism, and the truth that must be defended with life!

Like Fang Jun, he stirred up other countries at every turn, the minister rebelled and killed the emperor, and the queen had to Zen the throne to let Xianxian attach himself to the country, which was clearly against Confucian justice, how could this be done?

If the whole world behaves like this, the Taoism on which Confucianism depends will completely collapse......

Opposition is a must!

Even if Fang Jun proposes this proposal, he must oppose it!

However, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did not think much of this......

The first to bear the brunt is His Majesty Li Er.

Just imagine, his throne was obtained by "going down to the top" and "usurping it against the grain", what kind of "monarch, minister, father, son" advocated by Confucianism, doesn't it deny the legitimacy of his throne, and even openly accuse him of being a "chaotic minister and thief"?

It's tolerable, it's unbearable!

His Majesty Li Er had a dark face, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and glared at Zhang Xingcheng: "In your opinion, Silla came to annex it, and such a thing of expanding the territory and exalting the prestige of the Tang Dynasty to the world should be turned away?" ”

Anger rose in his heart!

Whether it's Confucianism or Legalism, I don't care what you have to say!

Shut the door and babble a few words in the yard of your home, even if you scold me, it doesn't matter!

But bringing your set to the court is intended to affect the national policy, and it even puts a frame on me, telling me that I can't do this and that, otherwise it will be a disaster to the country and the people, and it will be perverse......

Dream on!

When I'm too old to lift a knife?!
