Chapter Ninety-Five: The Five Gentlemen Incident
"Bold, dare to defy Kong Sheng!"
"Go find Goshi!"
……
The green worms blew up their nests in an instant, shouting angrily one by one.
"Am I not right?"
Yang Xin sneered.
"Could it be that your Confucius can be above the Ming Emperor? Could it be that the Ming Dynasty is not the world of the Zhu family, but the Kong family? Don't think that the court is full of people, the court is good, and the respect for Confucianism is just that His Majesty thinks that Confucius's words are reasonable and can be used to govern the country. But this can't change the fact that Confucius was just an ancient man who had been dead for more than 2,000 years, nor can it change the fact that you, the Confucian students, were first subjects of the Ming Dynasty and then Confucian disciples. It's okay to respect you, but don't kick your nose and face, thinking that you can already ride on the emperor's head, and there is no living person in this world who can be above the emperor.
Even if the people are dead, only the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty can be above the emperor.
Confucius?
He's not qualified yet! ”
He went on to say.
"It's true that Kong Sheng can't be above Your Majesty, but it's enough to be above you."
Wang Wenyan stopped those green insects, and then said with a sneer.
"Xu Yishi, who gave you the will?"
Yang Xin said.
"Long live it, of course!"
Xu Xianchun said.
"At that moment, Jinyiwei is the imperial power, and you want to fight against the imperial power."
Yang Xin looked at Wang Wenyan and said.
"What about imperial power? Heaven sees itself and the people see it, the sky listens to its own people, the law of Confucius and even the law of the saints, even if the people should respect it, the holy master is the teacher of the Ming monarch and ministers, who dares to disrespect it? ”
A green worm said angrily.
Wang Wenyan's face immediately changed.
"That is, the words of Confucius are higher than the holy decree?"
Yang Xin said with a smile.
"Brother Li, don't talk yet!"
Wang Wenyan hurriedly turned around and shouted.
Yang Xin is actually secretly changing the concept, and it is not difficult to refute it.
"Brother Wang, you still need to read this book, and the words of Confucius, even the law, and the holy decree cannot violate the way of the sages!"
The green worm said dissatisfied.
Obviously, everyone knows what is going on with Wang Wenyan, and although they trust him for his cunning and cunning, these green worms actually despise his knowledge. They are all full of poetry and books, and they know the way of sages and sages, and Wang Wenyan is a famous person who spends money to buy, which is obviously inferior to them in terms of right and wrong. Not only Li Qingworm, but almost all the green worms behind echoed it, what happened to the holy decree, the holy decree also has to respect the way of the sages, and if you don't respect the way of the sages, you can't send out the palace at all. The cabinet will seal it back, the first assistant will not even issue a vote, and the six departments will refute it, if there is a problem with your holy decree, take it back and change it first.
What if the emperor makes a decree?
The six will not be followed.
Governors and governors will likewise throw aside.
We are all disciples of Confucius, and the emperor does not respect the way of the sages, so we can't follow the nonsense.
"Confucius's words are actually higher than the holy decree, Xu Yishi, is our Daming Jiangshan still surnamed Zhu? What did Taizu do when he set up Jinyiwei? ”
Yang Xin said.
Xu Xianchun was also very entangled.
"Xu Yishi, don't be a gunman for others!"
Wang Wenyan said.
"Xu Mou is the gun of the Long Live Lord, only for the Long Live Lord, this Ming is the Long Live Lord, not Confucius, only the Holy Decree is the greatest in this world, get out of the way immediately, otherwise don't blame Xu Mou for being polite, Xu Mou No matter who you are, no matter what you want to do, the Great Holy Decree of Heaven and Earth is the greatest!"
Xu Xianchun sneered.
Then he hurried forward.
Behind him, the Jinyi guard urged the war horse at the same time, and quickly stepped onto the silver ingot bridge, Wang Wenyan looked at Yang Xin with deep eyes, Yang Xin was also looking at him, but Wang Wenyan quickly avoided the roadside. However, his sober mind does not mean that those pig teammates are the same, those green insects stepped forward in anger and quickly blocked the bridge deck, the bridge is only ten meters long in total, and then they encountered Xu Xianchun. Lao Xu also let go at this time, he knew the nature of this matter very well, but since he had already placed a bet, there was no other choice, just like a real gambler, go down one path at a time, and leave it to fate!
Without hesitation, he picked up the horsewhip and whipped it at the green worm in front......
The latter was stunned.
He obviously didn't expect Xu Xian to dare to make a move.
The whip of the horse whipped out loudly on his shoulder, and then the clothes shredded, revealing a bloody streak inside, and the green worm looked at the bloody streak blankly, and suddenly let out a scream, and without hesitation, threw the Confucian tablet he was holding to the ground, turned around and tried to flee back.
At the same time, the whips in the hands of several other brocade guards were drawn one after another.
The green worms blew up the nest directly.
All the green insects on the narrow bridge deck were crowded and screaming, some angrily scolded the Jinyi guards, and even tried to step forward to pull Xu Xianchun off the horse, some turned around and ran away when they saw that the situation was not good, and some were whipped there and screamed, and some even had no way to go and simply climbed over the guardrail, but they immediately fell to the river under the bridge, which had formed a thin layer of ice. On the bridge deck, the brocade guards were still whipping, and they simply smashed them with sheathed knives, and they smashed the green worms back to the west bank in the blink of an eye like hungry wolves driving away sheep.
There were even five green worms that didn't have time to run away, and were directly trampled under the horses that couldn't dodge.
This is also inevitable, after all, it is only a small bridge six or seven meters wide, and it is not uncommon for so many people to crowd on it, and it is not uncommon to step on a few.
The green insects that exited the bridge deck instantly scattered in the screams of the five green insects.
Yang Xin crossed the bridge proudly.
Then he turned his head to look at Wang Wenyan on the side of the road.
"Have you ever wondered how it ends?"
Wang Wenyan sneered.
"The end? Brother Wang, you have to understand that the Ming Dynasty belongs to His Majesty after all, and His Majesty Yourong Shizi did not let Shizi kick his nose and face and ride on the head of the imperial power. Confucius? In our Ming Dynasty, he was the most holy teacher, and in the Song Dynasty, he was only the king of Wenxuan. Wensheng? Emperor Ming named him a saint of literature, and he is a saint of literature! ”
Yang Xin said disdainfully.
Then he turned his head and spat thick phlegm behind him.
Then he and Xu Xianchun walked away.
Behind Wang Wenyan sighed, helplessly looking at the mess in front of him, at this time those scattered green worms regrouped, and these guys instead surrounded him and blamed him unanimously, accusing him of not being firm in his will and retreating. Fortunately, Wang Wenyan took out the silver ticket and said that he would treat the injured and ask everyone not to get drunk and return home in the East Courtyard, so these green worms stopped accusing him......
Of course, this is none of Yang Xin's business.
He and Xu Xianchun crossed the Silver Ingot Bridge, then turned south and went straight to Xianyifang, and then stopped in front of a mansion with cheers.
"What is this?"
Yang Xin stepped forward in amazement.
Nine thousand years old was standing at the door with a smile, followed by Huang Ying, Xiaocao looked a little taller, and there was also a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, who should be Huang Ying's younger brother.
"Given!"
Xu Xianchun patted him on the shoulder and said.
At the same time, with the shouts of nine thousand years old, the firecrackers in front of the door were lit, the gongs and drums were beaten, and the people on both sides of the road cheered, and the two big characters of Yang Mansion above the gate were eye-catching. Yang Xin dismounted and walked over, first clasped his fists and saluted the surroundings, and then saluted the nine thousand years old alone, who immediately helped him up, and then introduced a few petty officials and neighbors of the shop.
Yang Xin greeted them one by one, and this is how he will have to deal with them often in the future.
After a final chaotic hustle and bustle, the welcoming ceremony ended, and then followed the nine thousand years old into the Imperial Mansion.
In fact, it is not a luxury house.
It's just a three-entry house with a garden, this is still the gift that Wanli prepared for him to the brocade guard Qianhu, although he didn't accept it, but this gift Wanli didn't get back......
Of course, it can also be overlooked.
In fact, non-resident officials are strictly forbidden to buy any real estate in the official land, and the residence is allocated by the imperial court, but they can also lease it themselves, for example, the one where Xu Guangqi lives is actually rented by him, and the land he purchased in Tianjin was purchased during his resignation, and he has never been an official in Tianjin.
The system of the Ming Dynasty is still very good.
No matter how high-ranking an official is, even Shousuke, he can't buy real estate in the capital.
It can only be assigned or rented.
Of course, Fang Congzhe is different.
He was originally from the capital, and his household registration was not restricted locally.
However, Yang Xin can actually buy real estate in the capital by himself, because Wanli gave him a Jinyi Wei certificate, if he accepts it, then he is from the capital. He didn't accept it, as a commoner, he can also buy it, but he has to solve the household registration first, such as whether it is attached or parasitic, there are many ways to say this, and if you can't solve it, you can only rent.
Fortunately, Wanli did not take back this gift, so everything was solved.
and the house shall be his.
This is the Yang House.
It's not Yang's Mansion!
The word house is not used casually, at least it has to be the king of the county, even the first is not good, the first product can be used, and the fifth product can only be used in the house, which is a system that has been set since the time of Taizu.
In fact, no one cares about it now.
But since it is given, it must conform to the system.
It's not just a matter of name, it's the width of the house, the depth, and the number of rooms are all standardized, the number of rooms of different grades is different, the beams are different, the color of the door, and the shadow wall in front of the door.
Well, just talking.
In general, this Yang Mansion is limited in strength compared to the nine-thousand-year-old one, at most it is to add a small garden, and the nine-thousand-year-old one is actually considered to be over-the-top, he doesn't even have a grade, and at most he lives in a three-room small courtyard, but at this time, there are few houses in the capital that are not over-the-top. For example, Fang Congzhe's five-entry mansion and the mansion in front of the door, none of them are not over-controlled, he is called Fang Di at most, and his brother's four-entry mansion is also over-controlled. Zhu Yuanzhang used a strict system to restrict the extravagance of officials and ordinary people, whether it was residential clothing or even wine glasses, he dreamed of an agrarian society where everything was clear and everyone followed the blueprint he designed, and from then on they were thrifty and frugal.
But when he died, it was all waste paper.
After all, human nature cannot be changed by one's ideals.
