Chapter 28: Ru Yu's Commentary
The next day was September 19, and Lao Zhu issued another order: under the pretext that Concubine Lu was ill, let Yun Wei return to the palace to take care of his mother. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info is tantamount to dismissing his errand. As for Yun Xi, Lao Zhu asked him to take charge of the military attache assessment of the Ministry of War, and at the same time, he also led the Ministry of Household Affairs on the follow-up of maintaining the credit of the treasure banknote. At this moment, even the most cautious people confirmed that Lao Zhu was planning to establish Yunxi as the emperor's grandson.
Well, now the civilian departments other than the Ministry of War are in no mood to work (in fact, the people in the Ministry of War are not in the mood either, but with Yun Xi here, they have to work hard). And this time it's the most serious. Yun Xi's performance, not only in the recent performance, but also in the previous performance, shows that he does not attach much importance to Confucianism and Wenchen; Of course, Yun Xi also said that he would govern the country with Confucianism and rule the world with half of the Analects, but the vast majority of civil officials are not stupid, they will see the essence through the phenomenon, and of course they can see that Yun Xi does not attach so much importance to civil officials.
Even if Yunxi did not dare to go against Confucianism (to be precise, Zhu Xi's view), it did not mean that he attached importance to civil officials; The latter point is the focus of all civil servants. Everyone thought that after the reign of Lao Zhu, like other dynasties in history (mainly referring to the Song Dynasty), the second generation of monarchs would be transferred from martial arts to literature, but this dynasty does not seem to be like this.
No, after work on this day, the three major Confucians of the contemporary court of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Sanwu, Bao Sui and Wu Shen gathered at Liu Sanwu's house and sighed.
Liu Sanwu said: "The Third Highness likes martial arts and hates literature, and advocates the gift of separation, if he succeeds to the throne in the future, it is not the blessing of our ministers." ”
Bao Sui continued: "However, we have no reason to oppose the Third Highness as the prince. The Third Highness is the grandson of the son-in-law, the most orthodox heir today, and the heir who is most in line with the ethics of the Gangchang. We, hey. ”
Wu Shen said: "Now that His Royal Highness is the prince, it can be said that the situation has been decided. It's time for us to think about the future. ”
Bao Sui continued: "With the situation of His Royal Highness, what else will happen to us in the future?" Bao Sui was quite pessimistic at this time.
At this time, Liu Sanwu stood up and said, "Don't be discouraged. His Royal Highness is only fourteen years old this year, and he is still young, I heard that His Majesty wants to reorganize the Zhan Mansion, and I will wait for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, and Mao Sui recommended himself to the Zhan Mansion. Although Your Majesty is tall in the Spring and Autumn Period, he is in good health and has no worries in recent years, and I should take advantage of the past few years to correct the concept of the Third Highness. ”
Wu Shen and Bao Sui also nodded, and Bao Sui said, "That's all it takes." Although the three finally proposed a way to make up for it, it was generally pessimistic.
Of course, there are many people who are not impressed by their pessimism. On the 19th, most departments were not busy with their official duties, and even if they worked half-heartedly, everyone was not late to get off work. Therefore, the four friends of the right deputy capital Yu Shi Ru Yu and the right Yu Shi Li Qing and Hubu Langzhong Yuxin and Taichang Shaoqing Liao Sheng got together to drink together after work. During this period, it was inevitable to mention Yun Xi as the prince.
Liao Sheng said: "Everyone here is a friend, so I will say it bluntly. These three highnesses like martial arts and hate literature, and advocate the gift of separation, if they succeed to the throne in the future, it is not the blessing of our ministers. ”
Li Qing said yes again and again, Yu Xin was thoughtful, but Ru Yu was unimpressed.
Ru Yu said: "What Brother Liao said has some truth, but in fact it may not appear. In all dynasties, why did the monarchs after the founding of the country favor us and other civil servants? Is it because they have a natural preference? Song Taizong has superb martial arts, does not understand literature and ink, and is good at martial arts, but he still emphasizes literature and light martial arts, this is because it is in his interests to reuse civilian officials! Generally, the founding king has a very high prestige, and it is not a problem to subdue the people; But after the second generation, most of them were born in the court and grew up in the hands of women, how could the general be willing to obey him? If the authority of the military generals is too heavy, there are worries of rebellion, as evidenced by the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty. The Eastern Han Dynasty continued to suppress foreign military generals and collect all military power, also to prevent military rebellions. But then the relatives were in power. attracted Dong Zhuo to Beijing, and messed up the Han Dynasty for 400 years; The Jin Dynasty learned the lessons of the Eastern Han Dynasty and entrusted the military power to the prince of Zongfan, but only the second generation, there was a rebellion of the eight kings, which caused the five chaos and the southern crossing of the clothes; The Tang Dynasty pursued the balance between civil ministers and military generals and clansmen, and as a result, the Anshi Rebellion occurred; The Song Dynasty learned the lessons of the previous dynasties and ruled the world with the scholars and scholars, so that there was no rebellion in the Song Dynasty. Therefore, the choice of civil officials to govern is the final choice of successive kings after trying various methods, and it is not changed by the monarch's own will. The Third Highness is still young and does not understand the world, and when His Royal Highness really succeeds to the throne, he will naturally attach importance to my civil ministers, even if he is really crowned king in a remote place in the future, it will not affect the status of my civil officials. ”
Ru Yu's words are indeed reasonable, even if our protagonist Yun Xi has memories of later generations, but after becoming the emperor, he still changed some of his thoughts for the sake of his power, and generally maintained civil and military equality. But there was one thing that Ru Yu didn't take into account. Of course, he definitely can't consider this, that is, Yun Xi has the memory of the afterlife. Yunxi later used some special means to prevent civilian officials from overpowering military generals.
After listening to Ru Yu's words, the others also felt that it was very reasonable, and they all agreed, Yu Xin said: "Brother Ru is reasonable, it seems that it is too early to draw conclusions, everything, wait for a hundred years later." ”
In addition to Ru Yu, there were other people who mentioned similar views in conversations with friends, and they also reached Zhu Yuanzhang's ears, and they made Lao Zhu feel reasonable. But let's not talk about it for now, let's go back to Lao Zhu. When Lao Zhu was judging the excerpt tonight, he received a special excerpt, which was someone who impeached Huang Zicheng for plotting to murder Zhu Yunxi, the third grandson of the emperor. Lao Zhu didn't believe it at first, although he didn't appreciate Huang Zicheng very much, but because Yun Wei trusted him very much, Lao Zhu still knew about him. In Lao Zhu's opinion, how could a person like Huang Zicheng have the courage and execution to murder Yun Xi! But after reading the excerpt, he found that the reasons in the excerpt were very sufficient, and the evidence was also sandwiched in the excerpt. Old Juma sent a decree to call the people of the excerpt to come to the audience, ignoring the fact that it was already the time when the palace gate was locked.
So, what's going on here? For more information, see the next breakdown.
