All the officials in the palace were unanimous.

Lin Yanchao is also following the trend, and under the immersion of Cheng Zhu Lixue, the reader's observance of etiquette can be said to be engraved in the bottom of his heart.

For example, in the Analects, Zigong wanted to go to tell Shuo's sheep, and Zi said: Ciye, you love its sheep, and I love its gifts.

When Zigong wanted to remove the sheep on the sacrificial ceremony, Confucius said, Zigong, you cherish that sheep, but what I value is the ceremony.

Lin Yanchao thought to himself, what the Son of Heaven never expected at this moment was that his prime minister would oppose it so persistently.

Just like when Zhang Juzheng was about to win his love, he didn't expect the opposition of the Manchu officials, even his own protégés.

The system of Confucianism is the Zhou Li!

Confucius sold his learning, believing that in order to achieve 'benevolence', then it was necessary to restore to the Zhou rites. Confucius devoted his life to the restoration of the Zhou rites.

So why, when Zigong wanted to abandon the sheep on the sacrifice, Confucius said that it was not a sheep, it was a ceremony!

Unfortunately, Legalism is at odds with Confucianism on this point.

Legalism clearly tells you that there is a system from generation to generation.

Even when Lin Yanchao talked about the Taoist system, he also took out the example of Zigong and praised Zigong's practice, which is in line with my learning!

Lu Zuqian, Ye Shi, Chen Liang, these pioneers of the Southern Song Dynasty all emphasized the key to the word 'change of law', and the foundation of Confucianism lies in 'benevolence', and on the basis of 'benevolence', the system can be adapted, so as to conform to the times and achieve the purpose of applying it to the world.

Science is against this, what is meant to be flexible, today you steal money, tomorrow you will kill people, the day after tomorrow you dare to slaughter the city.

How do you define this proportion? You're doing this in a demonic way.

So why fight, Concubine Zheng is the concubine.

Today, the Son of Heaven will crown Concubine Zheng as the imperial concubine, tomorrow will crown the third son of the emperor as the king, and the day after tomorrow will make the third son of the emperor the crown prince.

So will the Son of Heaven just want to make Concubine Zheng the imperial concubine?

It's hard to say.

A dynasty has a dynastic system, and the so-called science and merit are all modes of thinking.

In this mode of thinking, it is natural to encounter any problem, and you can get a more recognized conclusion and avoid the existence of controversy.

For example, the practice of the Son of Heaven violates the core 'elder system' of Zhou Li, and everyone has a conventional existence.

The Son of Heaven said: "What the ministers want to say, I already know, and I have come here in advance today. Rong Zhen thought about it again. Who is on duty in the Cabinet today? ”

Wang Xijue came out of the class and said: "It's a minister." ”

The Son of Heaven said: "Mr. Wang stays." ”

The matter in the Qianqing Palace had a beginning, but the aftermath was far from over.

After leaving the palace, all the ministers surrounded Shen Shixing.

Yu Shenxing said directly: "Yuan Fu, the matter of the establishment of the prince, what is the holy will, the ministers are unpredictable. However, the country is based on Yuanliang, and the main weapon is Mo Ruo's eldest son, and the emperor Yuanzi is the prince, which is in line with the people's hearts and is also in line with the family motto of Taizu to establish a long line. ”

Shen Shixing did not speak when he heard this.

Zhao Yongxian, the right concubine on the side, said: "Yuanfu, since the tenth year of Wanli, the birth of Yuanzi has been announced to the world, more than five years, and the Chinese and foreign subjects have been in their hearts for a long time. However, it is rumored in the palace that the Son of Heaven favors Concubine De, and has been estranged from Concubine Gong for a long time, this time Concubine De gave birth to the third son of the emperor, and the mother was crowned as the imperial concubine by virtue of her son, and she was above Concubine Gong. ”

The meaning of Zhao Yongxian's words is obvious, if you don't persuade the country, the hundred officials will say it themselves.

Second assistant Xu Guo reprimanded: "Zhao Shuzi, what did Yuan Fu say in the palace just now, didn't you hear it?" The matter of the country is not the turn of the ministers to discuss! ”

Zhao Yongxian sneered: "When Zhang Jiangling won the love back then, where was Xu Ge Lao at that time? Is it that the ministers can't talk about it? ”

"You! Daring! Come on, fork Zhao Yongxian out! ”

"Wait!" Shen Shixing spoke.

Shen Shixing looked at Zhao Yongxian and said, "Zhao Shuzi, you keep saying that you are polite, and now you don't even care about the dignity and humility of officials?" ”

Zhao Yongxian heard that he was short of words, and in the face of Shen Shixing, he still apologized to Xu Guo.

Xu Guo snorted and turned his face away.

The scene was awkward.

Today, Wang Jiaping is absent as the ancestor of Confucius, the substitute priest of the Son of Heaven.

There are five or six lecturers below, such as Xu Xianqing, Zhang Wei, and Chen Yuma, and the others do not speak.

At this time, Shen Shixing asked Lin Yanchao, "What does Master Lin think?" ”

Everyone looked at Lin Yanchao, what would he say?

But seeing Lin Yanchao said slowly: "Qi Yu Yuanfu, the lower officials think that Yuanliang's matter involves the country, and the prime minister has his own opinions." Before the prime minister speaks, other ministers should not be arrogant. Don't even make a suggestion to the Son of Heaven on your behalf, otherwise this move will be suspected of making a fortune! ”

After Lin Yanchao finished speaking, Zhao Yongxian suddenly blushed, and he just kept saying that if Shen Shixing didn't play the chapter, then he, Zhao Yongxian, would have to play the chapter himself and ask the Son of Heaven to establish the country.

Lin Yanchao's words were pointed out directly, Shoufu hasn't spoken yet, you yourself went to the chapter to discuss the national reserve, do you want to win a meritorious service?

Zhao Yongxian's face was swollen.

Zhao Yongxian sneered a few times and did not speak. Shen Shixing glanced at Lin Yanchao and was very pleased, but said on his face: "Zhao Shuzi's words don't mean this, but as soon as your words come out, no one dares to make a suggestion to Ben Fu." How does Bensuke know the opinions of the princes? ”

Lin Yanchao immediately 'humbly accepted criticism'.

With Lin Yanchao's words, the other Hanlin also came to their senses and said something to look forward to when Shen Shi was the horse's head.

A few days later.

Shen Shixing asked the Son of Heaven to establish the prince as soon as possible, and he cited Ming Xuanzong as the crown prince in the third year of Xuande.

Ming Xianzong established the six-year-old Xiaozong as the crown prince in the eleventh year of Chenghua.

In the fifth year of Hongzhi, Xiaozong established Wuzong, who was not yet a year old, as the crown prince.

And Huang Yuanzi is already five years old, so he should be made the crown prince.

Shen Shixing's recital can be said to be justified and well-founded. The early establishment of the crown prince has always been the system of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty.

As soon as Shen Shixing was played, the Son of Heaven replied that the canonization of the crown prince was a great ceremony, and the emperor was still young, so he would wait for two or three years before it was held.

Then Shen Shixing wrote again, saying that the Son of Heaven thought that the appointment of the crown prince was a prudent move, and it was really wise to wait for two or three years to be held, which was not within the reach of the minister's foolish opinion. Although the minister is dull, he still can't control some words, and he can't say himself.

That's right, the prince is young, and it is too early for him to go out of the cabinet to study, hold a congratulatory ceremony, etc. after becoming a prince. His Majesty's move is to cherish the body of the emperor's son, but to appoint the crown prince, as long as he is canonized in the palace, the Wenhua Palace can be congratulated by the court, and as for lecturing and other things, it can be done in two or three years. Therefore, it is important to ornate the crown prince first.

The Son of Heaven replied, "I already know that you are loyal to the monarch and patriotic." But I didn't change my mind, I made Concubine Zheng the imperial concubine first, and I will talk about other things later.

Looking at the first-hand movement copied from the Liuke Corridor, Lin Yanchao felt that it was okay, Shen Shixing expressed his position of supporting the emperor Yuanzi, although he did not canonize the prince, but he could call it a day, and he also gave an explanation to the hundred officials.

But for the hundred officials, it may not be, after Shen Shixing took the chapter, the discussion of the hundred officials has begun.

Lin Yanchao was in the hall and met Zhang Wei, the master of the academy. After Zhang Wei entered, he said with a smile: "I heard that the cabinet invited the Son of Heaven to choose candidates for the examination examiner, but Master Lin knows. ”

Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "I have heard a little, the examiner will be a national scholar, and he must be a person with outstanding talents, and the lower officials think that the bachelor is very suitable." ”

Zhang Wei smiled when he heard this: "I ...... I'm not here, if I can, I plan to nominate Master Lin. ”

Lin Yanchao was surprised: "The qualifications of the lower officials are shallow, how dare they take on this heavy responsibility." ”

Zhang Wei said with a smile: "Although Master Lin's qualifications are shallow, he has the expectation of holy will, and it may not be impossible. ”

Lin Yanchao listened to Zhang Wei's words and did not say anything. Everyone is an old bureaucrat, and when they talk about it, they will stop at the point.

If it's true, say it slowly in a few days.

So Lin Yanchao and Zhang Wei talked and walked out of the door, and then they heard the sound of a group of people applauding in the maintenance hall.

Zhang Wei, Lin Yanchao walked into the maintenance hall when he heard this, but saw several Hanlin surrounding Jiang Yinglin, who had just dispersed the hall and gave it to the household.

"Brother Jiang, how brave is this!"

"The order of the elders and young is set to be sparse here in the country."

"I'm dumbfounded, I can't do it, I can only see the public."

Zhang Wei, Lin Yanchao felt that something was strange when he heard it, and walked into the hall together.

Zhang Wei coughed lightly, and when all the historians in the review hall saw Zhang Wei, Lin Yanchao bowed his hand.

Zhang Wei asked with a straight face, "What's the noise?" ”

A Hanlin said: "Brother Jiang wants to ask Your Majesty to establish the national capital as soon as possible!" ”

Lin Yanchao looked at it when he heard this, but when he saw Jiang Yinglin holding his head high, he was very proud.

Zhang Wei said sharply: "The matter of the country, Yuan Fu already has a proposition, why bother to say it?" ”

Jiang Yinglin said: "Don't you know? At present, there is a lot of discussion outside, saying that after the birth of the third son of the emperor, His Majesty and Concubine Zheng went to the Great Gaoxuan Hall to pray for God and swear, and agreed to make the third son of the emperor the crown prince, and sealed the secret oath in the jade box, which was kept by Zheng Guifei. ”

"The lower officials knew that this was hearsay, which was untrue, but rumors spread everywhere, and it was inevitable that people would be uneasy. He also served as the Yuan Assistant, but His Majesty did not express his position, as a subordinate, he should ask for the world to determine people's hearts. ”

Zhang Wei said: "Confused, since you know hearsay, that is, people with intentions spread rumors, lest the world be chaotic, your move can only add fuel to the fire, and cannot clarify the rumors." This master orders you to take back the upper sparse. ”

Jiang Yinglin said: "Forgive me, the students have been taught the science and the Tao of the school, and the words of the Kechen are the duty, even if it is a bachelor, it cannot stop the Kechen." ”

Zhang Weiqi trembled, and Lin Yanchao said on the side: "Jiang Zhishi, do you know the consequences of your sparseness?" ”

Jiang Yinglin smiled and looked up to the sky and said: "I am willing to set a precedent, even if the sword mountain and the sea of fire are ahead, what will happen?" It's a big deal to die to repay the king's kindness, and besides, I may not die,"

Listening to Jiang Yinglin's words, several Hanlin almost applauded.

Lin Yanchao also knew that Jiang Yinglin had said bad things about himself in front of Li Zhi, so he didn't persuade him if he thought about it. Besides, if someone is not even afraid of death, what is the use of persuading himself?

Lin Yanchao said at the moment: "Jiang will do a good job." ”

Jiang Yinglin laughed and said, "Thank you for your kindness!" This matter is done by the official alone, and nothing to do with anything. ”

All the Hanlin in the hall arched their hands and said, "Brother Jiang, take care." ”

The next day, the household department sent a letter to Jiang Yinglin and Shen Jing, a member of the ministry, to the son of heaven and asked him to be crowned the prince.

As a result, the matter of fighting for the country finally became an uproar and swept the government and the opposition.
