Chapter 92 The Formulation of the Nickname
In May, the king of Liang, Sima Wei, died.
Just when the court was discussing the name of King Liang, Sima Qin actually ran to the Xianyang Palace. Yang Xianrong was pruning and pruning the two pots of dwarf trees that had just been sent to the Xianyang Palace, and when she saw Sima Tan's sad face, she asked, "What's wrong?" Reprimanded by King Qi again? ”
Sima Qin shook his head and said, "King Liang is dead. ”
Yang Xianrong looked at Sima Qin with some curiosity, when it comes to seniority, Sima Zhen has to call King Liang grandfather, not to mention Sima Qin, he is a younger generation, and he usually doesn't have anything to do with King Liang, how can he be sad for this person at this time?
Yang Xianrong thought that there was something inside, so he put down the scissors in his hand and asked with concern, "What?" Has he ever been gracious to you? ”
Sima Qin shook his head and said: "King Liang is known as a virtuous person, I once heard my father say that King Liang is highly respected, but he never oppresses people with his status, not only facing the people, but also being humble and polite. When I was in the East Palace, there were also people around me who wept bitterly when they heard about his passing, because they had received his favor, so they were sad. ”
"So he's a good guy indeed." Yang Xianrong nodded and said, "But he is old, and now he is gone, he is dying, and he should be happy and mourning, so there is no need to be so sentimental." ”
"I'm sentimental for my Great Jin Dynasty." Sima Qin said solemnly: "The imperial court is employing people, and the loss of King Liang is not a loss for the imperial court?" ”
Yang Xianrong heard this and smiled slightly, this child is young, but he has a heart of worrying about the country and the people, as the crown prince, this is really a valuable quality.
"Then what kind of talent do you think King Liang has?" Yang Xianrong asked.
"He," Sima Qin thought for a moment and said, "Corporal Lixian, treat others well, and have always held important positions in the court, isn't this talent enough?" ”
Yang Xianrong said directly: "Not enough." Looking at Sima Tan's surprised eyes, Yang Xianrong said again: "What you said is called character, and it is a superficial character, I even think he is just a villain." ”
Sima Qin was even more surprised, everyone said that King Liang was good, how could it be that when it came to Yang Xianrong's mouth, this person was different?
Yang Xianrong asked: "Once an official, what is the most important thing?" Virtuous and talented, Sima Wei is in the position of prime minister, with great responsibilities and the people of the world, but has he done anything to benefit the people? No. ”
Sima Tan opened his mouth, as if he wanted to refute something, but after all, he didn't say anything, but continued to listen to Yang Xianrong.
Sima Weiqi, in addition to being talentless, also does not have good virtues. When the former crown prince Sima was deposed, he did not have a word of advice. Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, usurped the throne and rebelled, not only did he not leave the court, but instead became attached to Sima Lun. Now the court is chaotic, the kings are suspicious of each other, distrust each other, everyone has a small abacus in their hearts, want to get a piece of the soup in this troubled world, King Liang has a high rank, it can be said that he is the patriarch of the Sima family, but he did not say a word about this phenomenon, and even clinged to the king of Qi to protect his own wealth, such a person is really not worth being overly sad.
Obviously, no one has ever said such things to Sima Tan, he was deeply shocked, everyone said that King Liang was good, but he didn't expect that this was just his way of doing things, and he won a good reputation for himself, but he was really just a fly camp dog.
"The ministers in the court proposed to give King Liang the nickname Qin." Sima Qin said: "To show his virtue." ”
"No merit is not rewarded." Yang Xianrong sneered: "Those who are not diligent in government and become famous should be called 'Ling'." She let out a long breath and said: "It's just that taking such a nickname is afraid that it will not be easy to explain to King Liang's family, King Liang has no merit, but it can't be said to be a big, inactive person, for such a person, it's just a nickname like 'filial piety' or 'Kang'." ”
Sima Qin sat beside Yang Xianrong obediently and sighed: "I originally thought that no matter the monarch or the minister, as long as he is diligent, he can become a good minister, but now when I hear Niangniang say this, I know that I am very wrong." ”
"Then tell me, if this is wrong, how is it right?" Yang Xianrong asked with a smile.
"Diligent government is the duty," Sima Qin said: "Those who can be a monarch must have the ability to know people and be good at their duties, and also have the ability to formulate policies and decrees suitable for the dynasty. Sima Qin thought for a while and continued: "And good ministers, you must have the ability to distinguish whether the emperor's decree is good or bad, and when you think that the emperor has done something wrong, you must also have the courage to argue with the emperor. If it is ......," Sima Qin said, and glanced at Yang Xianrong timidly.
"Say, I don't blame you." Yang Xianrong knew at a glance that Sima Tan had something to say but didn't dare to say it, so he encouraged him with a smile.
"If you meet a faint monarch or, like, an emperor like Your Majesty," Sima Qin saw that Yang Xianrong was indeed not angry, so he boldly said: "Then the good minister must also have the responsibility to take on the responsibility of the world." ”
Yang Xianrong looked at Sima Qin deeply and sighed secretly.
It didn't take long for Feng Hang to come to the Xianyang Palace, and when he saw that Sima Qin was also here, he was stunned for a moment, and said to the sheep: "This kid really likes you." ”
Yang Xianrong smiled and said, "I also like him, he is a smart child." ”
"I just came from the former dynasty, and this morning the funeral of King Liang was settled." Feng Hang sighed: "Now that it is an eventful season, it is really not a good sign that there are clansmen who have sworn one after another. ”
When Sima Qin heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Can King Liang's nickname be decided?" ”
Feng Hang looked at Sima Tan with interest, not knowing how he could be interested in such a thing, but he still answered his question, "It's decided, the nickname is 'filial piety'." ”
Sima Qin grew his mouth in surprise, and immediately made a gesture to the sheep, and said, "Niangniang is really a god." ”
"Okay," Yang Xianrong touched Sima Tan's head and said, "Go play with Nian'er." ”
Sima Qin answered and ran away. Yang Xianrong looked at Feng Hang's inquiring gaze, and told him everything just now, and sighed at the end: "It's really a little late to know this child, one day, if he can ascend the throne as emperor, he must be a good emperor." ”
"If I say that it is one thing to be a good emperor, then whether the throne can sit on it is another." Feng Hang said. Now the forces in the DPRK and China are complicated, Sima Tan is a child, he has no power to control the government at all, even if he ascends the throne a few years later, but the situation at that time may not be much better than now, Yang Xianrong likes this child, so it is better to do his best to save his life, why let him enter this gamble without winning?
"Yizhou Assassin Shi Luo Shang reported the military situation, the rebel Li Te won the hearts of the people, Luo Shang led 30,000 troops to attack the rebels' camp in Mianzhu, and was defeated by Li Te's generals, he asked the court for help and sent troops to rebel." Feng Hang said: "The king of Hejian took charge of this matter, sent the capital protector Yabo to conquer Li Te, garrisoned the army in Zitong, and let Zhang Wei serve as the Taishou of Guanghan, garrisoning troops in Deyang, and Zhang Gui garrisoning troops in Fancheng. ”
"This Li Te......" Yang Xianrong knew that this person rebelled last year, but he didn't expect that in just one year, he would grow so far.
"Internal and external troubles." Feng Hang sighed: "Li Teh is menacing, it is not easy to deal with, the king of Hejian is worried that he is in a hurry to take the throne, if Li Teh attacks Luoyang, he will be infamous through the ages, so he has to wait and see the situation before deciding." ”
"When has this been?" Yang Xianrong said angrily: "He is still thinking about his own gains and losses. ”
"The Jin Dynasty is in danger." Feng Hangdao.
