Chapter 15: Honkai I
"In the past, the Han Dynasty had clouds: the Han Dynasty had six or seven misfortunes, and the law should be ordered again, who should be the descendants of the clan? Six, seven, and forty-two generations of Han, when Tu Gao also. Therefore, everyone in the world knows that those who represent the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gao! β
Yuan Benchu, who was hurriedly called from the outskirts of Luoyang, picked up a piece of Gongsun paper on the case, and then read it carefully, but after reading it, he felt that his father and uncle were making too much of a fuss...... Who doesn't know this? The source of the old-fashioned prophecy, this kind of rumor also called himself from outside the city?
"Don't read it out, just read it for yourself!" Yuan Kui, who was flushed on the side, couldn't help but scold. "There's more down there."
"Whoa!" Yuan Shao, who was still wearing filial piety, hurriedly agreed casually, and then picked up a wooden tablet in order, looked at it carefully in front of the light, and saw that it was written:
"However, six, seven or forty two, not necessarily refers to the number of emperors, but also to the number of years, and since the Han Gaozu beheaded the white snake, it has been nearly three hundred and ninety. Or say, the demons are repeated, it is the natural phenomenon of the sky, and it is just 30 years after the life of the Han Dynasty! β
Seeing this, Yuan Shao was already a little fluttering in his heart...... This is not some kind of old-fashioned nonsense such as 'those who represent the Han and should be Tu Gao'.
And this fresh explanation is quite interesting...... The Han Dynasty is considered to refer to the death of the Han Dynasty after the 6742 emperors of the Han Dynasty, but here it is believed that it is the death of the country in 420 years. And here it is also believed that the starting point of time should be calculated from the time when Han Gaozu beheaded the white snake and inherited the mandate of heaven, and it has actually been three hundred and ninety years this year.
Doesn't this mean that the Han only has thirty years of life?!
And after reading the second part, Yuan Shao hurriedly took the third object in order, that is, a piece of silk cloth, and after looking at it, he couldn't help but feel confused, lost his soul and was speechless!
It turns out that this third paragraph actually reads like this:
"The life of the Han is in the fire, and the one who represents the Han should be the soil virtue, and the Yuan family is out of Chen, and it should be here! And the four worlds and the three dukes, the surnames of the leaders, are the surnames of the middle in the world, and they are in response to the mandate of heaven! When Xu Changshui Captain Yuan Feng went to the palace with a sword, praised and worshipped the nameless, added nine tin, and was surnamed Zhong as the Son of Heaven, and when he was thirty years old, Yuan Liu could follow Yao Shun's affairs, and the world could also enter the Tai world without the disaster of war! β
Well, what does this paragraph mean?
It's actually quite simple:
First of all, whether it is from the perspective of the five elements or from the perspective of strength, the Yuan family is the most suitable family for the Dai Han, after all, now the Yuan family is the second surname in the world after the Liu family.
Bo Zhong Shuji, the surname Zhong is the meaning of the second surname.
Then, the person who wrote this short article also creatively proposed a solution, saying that it is better to crown Yuan Shao's father Yuan Feng as a 'Zhong surname Tianzi', that is, the meaning of 'the second son of heaven', and slowly transfer power, and then wait until thirty years later, the two surnames can be peaceful and peaceful, and the province will appear the phenomenon of social change and blood flowing.
Well, such a creative approach, how to say it? It's no wonder that Yuan Kui's face turned red, and Yuan Shao was silent for a long time after reading it, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"How did you feel at first?" Yuan Fengke didn't care whether his son wanted to talk or not, and asked directly.
"Your Excellency." Yuan Shao wanted to speak again and again, but finally had no choice but to speak. "Forgive me for being stupid, I really don't know how to 'feel', and I really don't know what to say!"
"There's always something to talk about." Yuan Feng pointed to Yuan Ji and Yuan Shu, who were kneeling outside the threshold, and for some reason still had a blue nose and swollen face. "From your uncle to them, everything that needs to be said has been said......
Yuan Shao had no choice but to sit down cross-legged, and said carefully to Yuan Feng and Yuan Kui: "Forgive my nephew for being outspoken, at first glance, it seems that someone wants to harm our Yuan family, but if you think about it carefully, it may not be the sincerity of a broad Yuan protΓ©gΓ©." Didn't my uncle raise a Hanoi celebrity during his tenure as a lieutenant? What is it called, Xiang ......"
"Xiang Xu." Yuan Kui replied helplessly. "I'm going to be Zhao Xiang."
"Yes, Xiang Xu! I heard that this person once recited the Filial Piety Sutra to the sky during the solar eclipse to ask for the retreat of the heavenly phenomena, this kind of person has it, it may not be that there is no one who wants to be a dragon hero and wants to go crazy, right? β
"And then?"
And then ...... If we consider the current political instability and chaos, I think that nine times out of ten it is someone who deliberately threw out these things, so that we, the leaders of the four generations and the third dukes, are anxious, and have no flaws to hinder or care about some of their plans! β
Yuan Feng bowed slightly, this is very right, but it is precisely because of the opponent that there is no way to guess who did it...... After all, the situation is too chaotic today.
"Of course, if you go back, maybe someone really wants to harm our Yuan family!" Yuan Shao finally sighed. The point is that the interpretation of this proverb is too unbelievable, half-truths and half-falsehoods, there seems to be nothing, and the potential of the argument is vaguely convincing, but the method proposed in the end is really laughable! And the most powerless thing is that we have no way of judging how people in the world will think of this confused rumor! β
"Finally someone understands!" Yuan Feng let out a rare long sigh. "In the beginning, do you know...... Your uncle was terrified when he saw this; When your brother saw this, he only thought about Gongsun Xun and Yang Wenxian insulting him that night, and he had to tell me that it was done by those two families; Your brother is the most amazing, he actually asked me if I did it secretly, and then I really want to sit on the son of the Zhong family?! β
Rao is Yuan Shao was in a state of confusion, and at this time, he couldn't help but glance back at Yuan Highway with great interest, causing the latter to look at him angrily, but Yuan Shu's little expression was immediately exchanged for a clog from his own father!
"After talking for a long time, will the Son of Heaven believe this thing?" Yuan Kui couldn't help but interject in the intimate interaction of his brother's family.
"I don't know!" Yuan Feng looked down at his bare feet and shook his head repeatedly.
"Where's the minister?" Yuan Kui looked at Yuan Shao again as if he was a cannon.
Yuan Shao shook his head again and again: "I don't know!" β
"What about the people of the world?" Yuan Kui continued to ask sharply.
This time, the father and son said in unison: "I still don't know." β
"What can I do about that?" Yuan Kui was on the verge of collapse.
"Naturally, these rumors will be confiscated, and then the report will be made to show your innocence, and at the same time, please ask the imperial court to thoroughly investigate this matter!" Yuan Shao, who was wrapped in linen cloth on his head, spread his hands, but he came as soon as he opened his mouth. "What else does my uncle think?"
Yuan Kui was silent.
Yuan Feng bowed slightly: "It's already done." β
"I wonder if there are many of these things?" Yuan Shao only remembered to ask about other things at this time.
"It's enough for all Luoyang people to know." Yuan Feng raised his head and looked out. "This is not a particularly difficult means, as long as these proverbs are prepared in advance, and then a few henchmen, a few cars, take advantage of the darkness before the curfew to walk around the city, throw it everywhere, where can you stop it?"
"Indeed." Yuan Shao couldn't help but sigh. "This is actually no different from the previous proverbs and nursery rhymes, but after the appearance of Gongsun paper, it is convenient to write large paragraphs of text, and we haven't done it before!"
Yuan Feng bowed slightly.
"And it's not necessarily a bad thing." Yuan Shao continued to cheer up. "Now that the matter of the abolition has begun, where would the Son of Heaven and the Minister really care about such a ridiculous 'prophecy'? And if the Son of Heaven and the Minister of Heaven do not suspect us because of this, maybe the people of the world will value us more because of this, and our Yuan family will naturally confirm the name of the surname Zhong in the world! β
Yuan Feng glanced at his son, who had gone out, and didn't say anything.
At the beginning of February, the situation in Los Angeles and China was completely out of control.
Cai Yong's book has not yet had a result, and the Son of Heaven is still bent on going his own way.
But on the other hand, Wang Fu couldn't wait to openly accuse Queen Song of witchcraft, which caused the anger of the Son of Heaven and made the undecided abolition of the harem officially kicked off in an extremely tragic way; At the same time, the Yuan family, as the head of the Gong clan, was inexplicably entangled by the proverbs of the so-called 'Son of Heaven surnamed Zhong'!
Ministers, small people, everyone is at a loss, and everyone has their own thoughts.
Of course, there are priorities, and among these things, the most intense and frightening thing is the aftermath.
In less than three days, Wang Fu claimed that the evidence was conclusive, and then the Son of Heaven was furious and officially ordered the Empress Song to be sent to the cold palace and the Song family to be imprisoned and tortured. Not only that, all nobles and officials involved in the Song family will be seized, dismissed, and dismissed!
Among them, the most representative is the family of Cao Teng, the former Great Changqiu, who lost all their official positions almost instantly because of their marriage with the Song family.
To tell the truth, when today's posture and style of completely tearing the skin is to carry out a major purge, it is nothing more than causing two reactions, and the cowardly people are naturally silent, and the people who have a little backbone naturally have to deal with it more intensely!
And if we add to this the Hongdu Gate School, which is really unbearable for the scholars, the situation of the confrontation between the Son of Heaven and the old forces in the DPRK and China becomes more and more unmistakable.
In a word, the Son of Heaven and the courtiers; scholars and eunuchs; Old and new...... The game between the various forces in the DPRK and China has created a chaotic situation, and the division of camps is extremely chaotic, and often everyone has multiple roles. Obviously, these two people are inseparable in this matter, but they will help each other in another matter, and they turn their heads and are innocently involved together in the third matter......
Relatively speaking, Cai Yong's matter is insignificant, and even Cheng Huang, a regular servant, wrote a letter to Cai Bojiao and invited the other party to join forces, but the other party openly rejected the invitation on the grounds that the matter of Hongdu Menxue was much higher than personal enmity, and instead wrote to approve Cai Yong's attack on Hongdu Menxue.
As for Yuan's 'prophecy', or 'rumor', or some kind of 'big-character poster' that is more appropriate, as Yuan Benchu thought, it is too absurd...... Although there was a lot of uproar among the low-level people, most of them were just seen as jokes among the ministers.
Of course, it is not that there are no fools who run to the Yuan Mansion to show their loyalty, and then it is not that there are no outrageous people who really write to ask for the Yuan family to be severely punished.
But in any case, the real big man in Luozhong really didn't take this matter to heart...... It wasn't until mid-February that someone suddenly posted an article in front of the brand-new gate of Nangong.
The article is very simple, and even a little sketchy, first listing the bad deeds of the Son of Heaven since he became an adult...... From deepening the party to abolishing it for no reason, from celestial warnings to indulging eunuchs, from retiring sages to enabling Hongdumen people.
Then, he listed the various virtues of the sages recommended by the Yuan family over the years, as well as the support of the Ruying Wanluo people for the Yuan family......
However, the most terrifying thing is the latter paragraph, the article declares that Yuan Feng Yuan Gong gave up the servant and became the captain of Changshui in order to take charge of the army; There are also many people in the Tiger Ben and Yulin Army who are interested in the Yuan family; Even the Great Changqiu Cao Festival Cao Gong is also kind to Yuan Gong!
Therefore, if the Son of Heaven understands current affairs, he should admit his own unrighteousness and let the 'Son of Heaven of the Zhong Family' take charge of the government! And if you don't understand current affairs, you will inevitably have Yi Yin Huoguang!
As soon as this standard 'big-character poster' came out, the government and the opposition were immediately shocked...... You know, the Later Han Dynasty became a common practice, who has not studied 'those who represent the Han Dynasty, when Tu Gao'? But this kind of thing of posting a big-character poster in front of the Nangong Gate asking the emperor to hand over power is really too sensational!
Of course, everyone who understands knows that the border army and the northern army will still listen to the Son of Heaven after all, although the Tiger Ben Army and the Yulin Army listen to Cao Jie, but Cao Jie has reached a political alliance with Yuan Feng at most, is he crazy at this age to serve Yuan Feng as the 'Son of Heaven of the Zhong Family'?
So, this thing is nonsense after all!
But nonsense is nonsense, and this matter must be taken seriously.
In fact, when everyone heard that Cao Jie directly entered the palace to resign from the post of Da Changqiu, and was agreed by the Son of Heaven on the spot, everyone understood that Yuan's situation was also troublesome.
"Two Yuan Gong! Brother Benchu, Brother Highway...... I don't want you to meet you two in such a situation! Especially Brother Benchu, you are still in filial piety, and it is really presumptuous to ask you to go back to the city to ask! Above the main hall of the Yuan Mansion, the Zhongdu official who came to investigate the matter on the order of Shang Shutai engaged in Gongsun Xun, and seriously saluted the backbone of the Yuan family in front of him one by one.
Of course, it was said that it was a salute one by one, but it was unceremoniously omitted Yuan Ji, who had not given him a good face before, and he looked at Yuan Shao with a special high look.
But young people, in such a situation, Yuan Feng and Yuan Kui didn't bother to pay attention to these.
"It made Wen Qi smile." Yuan Shao looked sad and shook his head again and again. "I never thought I would meet Wen Qi in such a situation...... The door of the house was framed by villains, which is really hard to explain. β
"This matter is so absurd, everyone knows that the Yuan family is innocent, but it is just a little inquiry, although the first brother can rest assured." Gongsun Xun leaned over again and again to comfort him. "And the imperial court didn't let the people of Si Li's lieutenant come to ask questions, but let me be a central capital official of Shangshutai to come here, which in itself shows that the imperial court did not suspect Yuan Gong."
"I want to thank Wenqi for this." Yuan Shao made a gesture of gratitude again and again.
"Alright." A tall young chamberlain on the side couldn't help but frown. "Gongsun Langzhong is a Zhongdu official, and he was ordered to inquire about this matter, not as a guest, please inquire as soon as possible, and I will return to the palace as soon as possible."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were immediately attracted, and even Yuan Ji, who was quite hostile to Gongsun Xun, immediately looked at this person with some anger...... But it's just a look, because this person's surname is Jian Mingshuo, and he is a cronie eunuch who grew up with the Son of Heaven, although because of his qualifications and qualifications, he has not yet entered the position of a regular servant, but he is just a so-called Huangmen squire, but after all, he is a cronie of the Son of Heaven.
"Yuan Gong!" Gongsun Xun couldn't help but sigh when he heard this. "Since the Son of Heaven is here, let's get straight to the point...... Needless to say, what is connected with the Great Changqiu Cao Festival, what is plotting against the Tiger Ben Army and so on, it is really absurd. There is only one thing...... Dare to ask Yuan Gong, your family is illustrious, and you have been a minister for generations, but why did you invite yourself to be the captain of Changshui? β
"I just felt the celestial phenomena and felt worthy of the position of the minister, so I wrote to ask for a demotion of guilt." Yuan Feng stared at Gongsun Xun and replied seriously. "As for what happened after the book, it was handled by the Son of Heaven, Shang Shutai, and Huangmen Supervisor, and I never thought that I would be appointed as the captain of Changshui in the Northern Army."
"It stands to reason that it is." Gongsun Xun frowned. However, when Gong Yuan wrote to ask for guilt that day, only the position of captain of Changshui was vacant in the two thousand stone official positions under the Central Jiuqing. In other words, when you asked for sin, you were going to be the captain of Changshui. Does Yuan Gong know about this? β
Jian Shuo also stared at Yuan Feng.
Yuan Feng immediately shook his head; "Please engage in suing the princes of Shangshutai, if you don't know!"
"I see." Gongsun Xun bowed slightly.
Immediately, the two asked and answered, and from time to time they also asked people to present some government affairs, which were also extremely detailed.
Seeing that noon was approaching, Gongsun Xun looked at the sun outside the hall, and took out the last piece of evidence from the wooden box beside him, but it was several 'Gongsun papers'.
"Gong Yuan," Gongsun Xun shook the pieces of paper. "Do you know where these rumors, rumors, and demon books come from?"
"This person wants to harm my Yuan family, that's all!" After being asked for a long time, Yuan Feng was also a little annoyed, so he immediately answered categorically. "I don't know."
"But there's something else to worry about." Gongsun Xun pointed to the paper and continued. "These so-called 'Gongsun papers' are nominally produced by our Gongsun Amway, but in fact the Amway is limited to Hebei, and the so-called 'Gongsun paper' in Luozhong is produced by various workshops in Henan. When we examined it closely, we found that the paper was very similar to the paper produced in the workshop in the Yuan manor......"
"It must have been bought by a thief with all his own intentions." Yuan Feng is still calm. "What's there to talk about?"
"That's right!" Gongsun Xun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then said with a smile. "In the final analysis, it's all unsubstantiated things, Yuan Gong doesn't have to worry about it......"
"It doesn't matter." Yuan Feng probably realized that this humiliating inquiry was finally over, and he couldn't help laughing.
"Broken Yellow Gate." Gongsun Xun turned his head to look at Jian Shuo again. "Actually, that's the case, there are unwarranted words and things everywhere, which are not enough to serve the world or the law, do you have anything else to ask?"
"Nope." Jian Shuo couldn't help frowning. "It's just that today's answer, I will definitely tell the truth to the Son of Heaven."
"It's nature." Whether it was Gongsun Xun or Yuan Fengyi, they all bowed down immediately.
After the inquiry, as Yuan Feng and Yuan Kui, he naturally did not personally send a Lang Zhong and a Yellow Gate - it was rare for the three brothers of the younger generation of the Yuan family to send them out together, and the two elders of the family naturally stayed in place to meditate.
"How?" As soon as the three brothers came back, Yuan Kui couldn't help but get up and ask.
Yuan Benchu, a model in the world wrapped in linen, was the first to reply: "I told Gongsun Xun that with his performance in Shangshutai, he should have gone out to put a big county and go further in his career, but he smiled and said nothing. β
"That's a refusal." Yuan Feng replied simply. However, his teacher is Cao Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, and there is no shortage of American jobs, which is reasonable. What about the other side of the road? β
"I also refused." Yuan Shu bowed down and replied honestly. "It's the first time I've seen a yellow door that doesn't charge money...... I don't want 500 gold, what do you want to do? β
"He didn't dare to ask for it," Yuan Feng immediately sighed. "He is a close attendant of the Son of Heaven, and he must know the attitude of the Son of Heaven on this matter...... I don't want to, this day the son of heaven has cleared up the old magnates, and then I am really a little suspicious of Yuan Zhouyang! β
"This ...... What can I do? Yuan Kui couldn't help but ask nervously.
"What can I do?" Yuan Feng couldn't help but sneer. "I don't know how much the Son of Heaven is suspicious of me Yuan Feng? If you are only suspicious, then you will naturally ignore me, and then according to the imperial court system, I will wait for half a year to be transferred back to Jiuqing in this Changshui captain; And if I am in doubt, I am afraid that I will ignore the established conventions and directly transfer me back to the position of Jiuqing. β
"Is that all? It won't endanger my Yuan's comfort, right? Yuan Kui couldn't help but ask. The Song clan is also a hundred-year-old clan, and once the clan was imprisoned......"
"A hundred years of bullshit!" At this point, Yuan Feng suddenly stood up, then walked to the front of the hall, and looked at the sky with his hands. "I, the fourth generation and third duke of the Yuan family, have protΓ©gΓ©s and old officials all over the world, where can an outdated family of relatives be compared? ! If the Song clan is the light of fireflies, our Yuan clan is the scorching sun at noon! There are all kinds of absurdities in that rumor, but there is only one place that is very good...... My Yuan family is the surname of the world! Of course, the Son of Heaven can try to take us down as soon as possible, but if this is the case, I would like to see how many people are still herdsmen for him, and how many people are working for him?! β
When Yuan Feng's three sons heard this, they each thought about it.
"Alright, all three of you, I have something to say to your uncle." Yuan Feng waved his hand slightly, but he repelled his third son.
The three of them hurriedly took their leave.
"Brother." Seeing that only his brother and himself were left in the hall, Yuan Kui hurriedly surrendered his hand.
"I know who did this!" Yuan Feng turned his head and said. "It's Sun Xun, the white horse Zhonglang Gongsun who just came to ask about the case! In other words, it is Gongsun Xun and his comrades who are determined to punish eunuchs! β
Yuan Kui was stunned: "Why did he want to harm us? β
"It's not harming us, he just wants to tie up our Yuan family's hands and feet and keep us from getting in the way." Yuan Feng couldn't help but sigh. "This person, as well as Wang Yun, Tian Feng and others from Yushitai, have been single-mindedly trying to deal with eunuchs, but they were resolved by me and Cao Jie in the Shuori Dynasty, so that Tian Feng also resigned in public to vent his anger...... And after this encounter, Cao Jie was tied to his post, and our Yuan family was trapped, so they could naturally arrange it calmly, and then try to punish the eunuchs! β
Yuan Kui was dumbfounded.
"I should have thought of it a long time ago, but I didn't want to see him in person today, and I suddenly woke up when he deliberately let go of my communication with Cao Jie...... Today's young people are really more daring than the other, and each one is more intelligent than the other! β
"In that case, what can I do?" Yuan Kui couldn't help but ask again.
"Don't do it, and don't tell me about those three rebels." Yuan Feng replied easily. "Let them be arrogant for a while, and after this time, I will crush them with one more finger!"
"Whoa!"
"After all," Yuan Feng suddenly turned his back to the door and smiled at his brother with his finger pointing to the sky. "The power of my Yuan clan is great, like the sun above my head, awe-inspiring and inviolable. Even now that the situation has collapsed, it has not damaged the prestige of my Yuan family. And although the other party has a plan, it is not enough to worry about it! β
"Brother!" Yuan Kui changed color suddenly. "It's an eclipse! It's an eclipse again! β
Yuan Feng hurriedly put down his hand and looked back, and then was immediately stunned.
βββββββββI'm the dividing line of Honkaiβββββββββ
"The fourth and third princes of the Yuan family of the Later Han Dynasty, the protΓ©gΓ© of the former officials are all over the world. And Yuan Feng and Yuan Kui brothers were in charge of the Yuan family, and the momentum was rising, and the Han family was declining, and there was 'the generation of Han should be Tu Gao, and it should be in Yuan's words'. When you are proud, you are afraid. One day, when he leaned on the door and pointed to the sky after drinking, he laughed and said to his brother: 'Why is my brother worried? The power of the Yuan clan is like a great sun, if the Yuan clan collapses, unless there is a solar eclipse today! 'Time and the beginning of the year, February Xinhai day, the end of Xiping October New Year, there is a solar eclipse over Luo. For a while, Yuan Kui also smiled. However, the laughter continued, and if there was a tengu offense. When the complexion changes greatly, there is a disease of depression. β"The World Speaks New Words". Confessions
