147. Turning clouds and rain is ashamed of Confucianism

Chapter 147 The clouds and rain are ashamed

"Count your kid lucky."

The jailer pushed open the door and took Deng Ruoshui out of the gloomy dungeon, he looked at Deng Ruoshui's eyes, which had nothing to do with "friendliness" at all, on the contrary, it was full of hatred. Deng Ruoshui didn't care, straightened his clothes, sneered, and walked along the aisle with him.

When he came out, he was confronted by several messengers escorting the prisoners, and when they saw the jailer, they all stopped: "Lao Meng, is this Deng Ruoshui?" ”

"It's this guy who is benevolent and doesn't care about him, so he let him go......"

Before he finished speaking, the prisoners who were escorted by the officers suddenly screamed, pounced on Deng Ruoshui, threw him to the ground, and then added fists and kicks: "Thief bird, grandpa heard that you were in Lin'an Prison, so he found a reason to send grandpa in, I wanted to wait for you in prison, but I didn't expect to meet here!" ”

Deng Ruoshui almost hugged his head and ran away, those errand guards were afraid that something would happen, so they hurriedly stopped the man, Rao was like this, Deng Ruoshui also tasted several punches and kicks, and he could barely get up.

After the prisoner was dragged away, he scolded himself: "Thief bird, my old lady has been sick for two years, if it weren't for the benevolence of the official family, I invited Lang Zhong for free consultation, how can I, a poor man, have the money to see a doctor for the old lady, but you dare to curse the official family, I have to give this breath for the official family!" ”

The errand officer and the jailer were stunned, and then changed their faces: "It turned out to be a good man, it's just that, the good man Hugh has the same knowledge as this guy, and the official family is generous, and he is not held accountable, why bother with such a foolish person!" ”

The prisoner glared at Deng Ruoshui, and the halberd pointed out: "You guys have remembered me, I am Lu Sanlang of Wulin Fang, and when I see you once in Lin'an, I will beat you once!" ”

"Phew." Deng Ruoshui spat out the bloodshot saliva, and said with a cold smile: "A little favor will teach you such an ignorant and stupid person to forget the righteousness." ”

Lu Sanlang was about to pounce up, but the jailer hurriedly stopped, clasped his fists and saluted: "Good man, Lu Sange, if you see him beating outside, you will be killed, but here, if you break it, I will have to eat it." If this guy comes in, if it is broken and goes out, it will damage the name of the benevolent official. Third Brother Lu, even if you don't look at my face, you have to think about the reputation of the official family, so today I will treat this guy as a fart and let it go. ”

The servants who escorted Lu Sanlang also pushed Lu Sanlang inside, but with a smile on their faces: "Lu Sanlang is such a man, our brothers dare not be disrespectful, Lu Sanlang and go in, wait for us to have a corner of wine, and go to bad luck with Sanlang." ”

Seeing Lu Sanlang scolding and scolding while leaving, the jailer breathed a sigh of relief, and complained to Deng Ruoshui: "You don't know how to do things, the Son of Heaven is benevolent and virtuous, and his reputation is spread overseas. ”

Deng Ruoshui was confused, he was in prison for seven days, but he didn't know that earth-shattering changes had occurred in Lin'an in the past seven days. He was about to ask the jailer, but the jailer was also very disgusted with him, and pushed and said, "Go out and get out, someone outside will come to pick you up." ”

After going out, Deng Ruoshui squinted, but it was several leaders of Lin'antai students, Li Shimin, Zhao Jingyun, and Yu Xuan, a scholar from Shaoxing Mansion.

"Brother Deng, I'm frightened." Seeing him come out, Li Shimin, Zhao Jingyun and Yu Xuan all smiled, and bowed and said, "Come on, get in the car, we have set up five tables in the Qunying Club Restaurant, and we are waiting for Brother Deng." ”

As he spoke, they pulled him into the carriage, which could seat eight people, and the four of them went in without being crowded. The coachman had already received the order, and with a flick of his whip, the two horses pulling the cart began to run unhurriedly.

"How's it going these days?" After Deng Ruoshui sat down, he couldn't wait to ask.

"Brother Deng ascended to the heights and shouted, and the servants gathered, how could there be no reason!" Zhao Jingyun said with a smile: "The big thing has been decided, and the history thief has already fled far away." ”

"Good!" Deng Ruoshui clapped his hands and said in high spirits: "What about the Son of Heaven, is the Son of Heaven abdicating, don't choose a virtuous person from the clan to succeed him?" ”

Li Shimin and Zhao Jingyun were a little embarrassed when they heard this, the two looked at each other, and then Zhao Jingyun said: "That's not it." ”

"I put forward the upper, middle and lower three strategies in the excerpt, and the Son of Heaven only takes the middle strategy?" Deng Ruoshui snorted: "Don't give up halfway, tomorrow I will go to the fold again, please abdicate the Son of Heaven and make way for Xian, Yu Yuanyi, you still have to help me ......"

"Phew!" The chauffeur suddenly took hold of the horse, and the carriage was transparent from front to back, so that they spoke, and the coachman heard all of them. The coachman turned his face and pointed at everyone with the carriage: "You rotten people, vertical people, all give grandpa and me get down!" ”

Deng Ruoshui was stunned, Li Shimin and Zhao Jingyun were helpless, only Yu Xuan, and his face still did not change.

"You coachman, why is that?" Deng Ruoshui asked.

"You guy, but you don't know what to do, when today, the people who are far away from the outside, and the people who are inside, how can you talk about it! You still have to write a book to force the Son of Heaven to abdicate and make way for Xian, I, is there still a virtuous person in this world who can be the son of today? ”

Although this coachman is a lowly business, his words are not very vulgar, Deng Ruoshui only felt confused, he was beaten first when he was released from prison, and he was scolded when he was in the car, but he didn't know what happened.

"Brother Deng is going to talk about it again, it's our fault." Li Shimin and Zhao Jingyun grabbed Deng Ruoshui's arm, and Yu Xuan said to the coachman: "Big brother coachman, this person has just come out of prison, but he doesn't know the current situation, so there are such nonsense, big brother Hugh, Hugh blame, please take us to the Qunying Club Restaurant, how about doubling the fare at that time?" ”

"Get out of the car for grandpa, grandpa is not rare for you sour money!" The coachman cursed, raised his whip and drove him away, and drove him away, and then drove away.

"Why is this happening?" Deng Ruoshui was still unwilling.

"This matter is not Brother Deng's." Li Shimin said: "Criticizing the Son of Heaven is really not what people and ministers do......"

"Those who don't know are not guilty, Brother Deng, let's listen to me in detail, just go to the group of heroes, hehe." Yu Xuan interrupted him.

He told in detail what happened after the court meeting that day, from the net laid by the Son of Heaven, the net of Shi Miyuan's party and the net, and then the court meeting in the afternoon, there was a stream of requests for land sacrifice, all of which were extremely detailed. The Son of Heaven is full of joy, the ministers are all worshipping and dancing to congratulate, for a while, the full court is subdued, and the Empress Dowager Yang, who listens to the government, is calm and wise with the Son of Heaven, and the curtain is withdrawn again the next day, and the Son of Heaven has been in power since then. Yu Xuan's eloquence is excellent, and when he speaks of it, he is like witnessing, and Deng Ruoshui is fascinated when he hears it.

"Among them, Yu Yuanyi contributed a lot, but Xuanyi, Xue Ji and others changed the court, but it was Yu Yuanyi who went to lobby." Li Shimin interjected: "It turns out that Yu Yuanyi met the official family when he was in Shaoxing Mansion, and this guy is very tight, and he didn't say it until the big thing was decided, and the Son of Heaven will see me in the palace tomorrow night, Brother Deng, do you think this guy should be beaten?" ”

He said it lightly, only Yu Xuan's own family knew how difficult and dangerous this process was, four years ago, he came to Lin'an as a student of Shaoxing, made a name for himself in the Guozi Prison, and became the leader of the Taixue students, just for the convenience of this day. As the first person in the second phase of Yixue, he has endured in every way over the years, in order to help the official family!

"Huh?" Li Shimin's words surprised Deng Ruoshui a lot.

Deng Ruoshui sneaked into Lin'an from Longzhou, and his excerpts were all over Lin'an overnight, which was all Yu Xuan's plan, and it was also Yu Xuan's strategy to erase Xue Ji and Xuanxuan in the history party in the excerpts. In Deng Ruoshui's mind, Yu Xuan should have tried his best to oppose the current official family's accession to the throne, but he didn't expect that he would be an old official.

"The official family issued an edict the next day, and the edict was sincere, and he did everything he could to love the people." Zhao Jingyun sighed again: "If it weren't for this edict, what else would we have besides the courage of blood?" ”

Deng Ruoshui inquired carefully, only to learn that on April 16, the official family issued an "Imperial Decree to the People of the Great Song Dynasty to Tell the Officials and Civilians of the Great Song Dynasty is an Edict", in which not only did Shi Miyuan cite Shi Miyuan's crimes, but also dealt with Shi Miyuan, Shi Miyuan's main confidants, were all "begged to be resettled in Tamsui, Yilan, and Zhulin Prefectures", and Shi Miyuan's relatives and cronies scattered in the localities, such as Shi Miyuan's nephew Shi Songzhi, etc., were "pardoned for their crimes" to avoid forcing Shi Miyuan's remaining party to jump over the wall in a hurry.

The most important thing in the edict, and the most pleasing to the people, was the proclamation of the national policy of the Great Song Dynasty in the next five years. The first is to never give more, as soon as this policy comes out, it is really shocking to the world. The second is to restrict the issuance of banknotes and ensure the face value of banknotes, which has a bearing on the interests of almost all the people. The third is to persuade farmers to persuade mulberry and ensure peasant incomes, which is a common practice, and it is not surprising, but it is extremely pragmatic to introduce seeds to seek grain seeds, choose land and try to plant seeds first, and vigorously promote them if the results are good. The fourth is to encourage childbirth, invite more famous doctors for free consultation, and use the income of Huangzhuang to build medical science halls in various state capitals, find the children of poor families, provide them with food and clothing, and enable them to study medicine. The fifth is to build roads extensively, recruit people who have no permanent property to work, and exchange work for relief. Sixth, it is necessary to conduct military exercises, train elite soldiers, strengthen armaments, and increase the revenues of the forbidden army and the army within the limits permitted by the state treasury. The seventh is to promote education and recruit talents. The eighth is to open up financial resources and enrich the country and the people.

The high-ranking officials in the court, when they saw this edict, they all had some thoughts of reading jokes, this edict was full of places to spend money, but only the last one said that it should be open source, and the words were extremely vague. But the people don't care so much, at least in Lin'an City, Huo Chongcheng has met over the years with the city fox club rats, the gentlemen who comment, the doctors of the teahouse, and some Taixue students, have entered various places with many people to preach the benefits of this edict to the people.

In addition to the traitors and murderers, this has made the people of Lin'an both happy and proud, plus the two articles of "never endowment" and "money preservation", it is within reach, how can there be no praise. As for how the official family can achieve the goal of never increasing the endowment and preserving the value of the banknotes, it is natural that there are courtiers and princes to worry about it, and what to do with them, the ordinary people.

Hearing this, Deng Ruoshui's face was still uncertain: "There is no mention of King Ji, it is not the injustice of King Ji......"

"Hugh is going to be rebellious." Li Shimin's face sank like water: "You don't know, the first emperor and the first emperor were both poisoned by rebellion, and the official family couldn't bear to spread the tragedy in the open air this day, so there was no edict, but it was already spread in the alleys." I inquired with the real prince Jingxi, and he also said that nine times out of ten this matter is true. ”

"What?" Deng Ruoshui was shocked.

This is Zhao Youju's fatal blow to the scholars who question the legitimacy of his accession, when the first emperor Ningzong died, there was only one prince of King Ji, and then he was the imperial nephew. Overthrowing Shi Miyuan, the legitimacy of his succession is indeed questionable, but if the only prince is rebellious, then his nearest imperial nephew is regarded as a prince by the Queen Mother, and there is nothing suspicious about his accession to the throne, and the death of King Ji after ascending the throne has become reasonable and legitimate.

Although Zhao and Ju deduced in their hearts that the collapse of Ning Zong's frame was a good thing for Shi Miyuan, he also suspected that the death of the prince Di was a means of King Ji. As for the evidence, it doesn't matter, he is now the Son of Heaven, and he has mastered the printing technology of Liuqiu, and a large number of secret pamphlets, as early as the second day of Shi Miyuan's downfall, were like Deng Ruoshui's pamphlets, spread all over the streets and alleys of Lin'an. For the secret things of the royal family, the people originally had a kind of curiosity, and now they are even more verbally taught, and Lin'an Mansion has also been hinted, turning a blind eye to this, so the king of Ji in order to seize the throne, the matter of killing his brother and killing the monarch has almost been confirmed, that is, the ministers of the court and the central government still have doubts about this, but they can only talk about it in private.

Hearing Zheng Jingyun talk about all kinds of secret stories in the booklet, not only vividly, but also conclusively, Deng Ruoshui's eyes widened more and more, and later, he couldn't help beating his chest and scolded himself: "I read so many poems and books, and I have read all of them to dogs, and I am a madman who accuses the king of generosity and benevolence, no wonder he is beaten by people!" Three, I'm really ashamed, I don't have the face to meet the sages again, so I'll say goodbye here! ”

He was the kind of stubborn maniac, and once his ideas were reversed, he could admit his mistakes and be heartbroken.

"Brother Deng's words are bad, people are not sages, who can be without fault, know mistakes and can change, and be very good." Li Shimin shook his head and said: "The one who was wrong at the beginning, why not Brother Deng?" It's Zhengong and Wei Gong, it's not bad? ”

"It is precisely because Brother Deng misunderstood the official family, but the official family did not care about Brother Deng, if Brother Deng hid it, it would hurt the name of the official family's generosity, which is really disloyal and unjust." Zhao Jingyun also said.

"Brother Deng still made great contributions in the battle to drive history." Yu Xuan said with a smile: "What's more, the official family will give a banquet tomorrow, and call Brother Deng's name, saying that he will definitely suppress Brother Deng, if Brother Deng disappears, how can the younger brother explain to the official family?" ”

Under the persuasion of the three of them, Deng Ruoshui had no choice but to follow them to the Heroes Club. At this time, the restaurant was already full, and when I heard that Deng Ruoshui was coming, there was a battle in front of the restaurant. The proprietor, Huo Chongcheng, came out in person and led him upstairs, Deng Ruoshui was crazy and famous all over the world, but he had never been so beautiful in person, and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile. After the banquet, I was so drunk that I slept until I got up the next day.

"Brother Deng, haven't you woken up yet?" Yu Xuan called him outside the door.

"Wake up, wake up, what time is it?" Deng Ruoshui asked.

"It's three o'clock, and we will have lunch in a while, you get up and get ready, and after lunch, we will prepare to enter the palace." Yu Xuan said with a smile outside: "I would like to congratulate Brother Deng here, the Son of Heaven this time, I am afraid that Brother Deng will be of great use!" ”
