Volume 28 Han Ji 20 (3)
In the first spring of the first year of Yongguang, the emperor went to the Ganquan Palace. Suburban festival Tai 畤. After the ceremony, he stayed to shoot and hunt. Xue Guangde said in the book: I saw that the Kanto region was extremely distressed, the people were displaced, and His Majesty hit the bell of Qin Zhizhi on the same day, and listened to Zheng Wei's happiness, and sincerely mourned for His Majesty. Now that the soldiers are exposed and the officials are tired, may Your Majesty return to the palace as soon as possible and think about the joys and sorrows of the people. The world is very fortunate.
The emperor got the letter and immediately returned to the palace on the same day.
In February, the imperial edict of the prime minister Yushi recommended the simple and honest people who could do it. Guanglu selects Lang Congguan from among these people every year.
In March, pardon the world.
Rain, snow, frost and frost kill mulberry.
In autumn, the emperor prepares to sacrifice to the temple. Out of the door, I want to take a boat here to enter the temple. Xue Guangde stopped the car, paused his head and said: According to etiquette, Your Majesty should cross the bridge. There is an edict that says, "Doctor put on his hat and get up." Guangde said: Your Majesty does not listen to the advice of the minister, and the minister will kill himself and stain the wheels with blood. Your Majesty will not be allowed to enter the temple after all.
The emperor was unhappy. At this time, the pioneer Guanglu doctor Zhang Meng approached and said: The minister heard that the lord and the holy minister are straight, and it is dangerous to take a boat, and crossing the bridge is the way to safety. The Holy Lord does not take advantage of the danger, and the words of the Imperial Doctor can be heard. The emperor said: Shouldn't people who know things be like this? So I passed over the bridge instead.
In September, frost destroyed crops. There is a great hunger in the world. Prime Minister Yu Dingguo, General Shi Gao, and Imperial Historian Xue Guangde all asked to abdicate because of the disaster, and gave Ancha and horses sixty catties of gold and were dismissed. The crown prince and Fu Wei Xuan became the imperial historian.
Guangde returned home, hung his car, and was proud to pass on his descendants.
When the emperor was the crown prince, he received the book from the Taizhong doctor Kong Ba, and ascended the throne, and gave Kong Bajue the title of Guannei Marquis as the prince of praise, and gave it to the middle of the matter. The emperor wanted to make Kong Ba live in the phase, but Kong Ba was humble and retired, not good at power, and often called the title too much, and he was worthy of it. There was a shortage of imperial historians, and the emperor wanted to use Kong Ba, and Kong Ba gave way, but as for repeatedly, the emperor knew his sincerity, so he no longer used him, so he respected him more and rewarded him very much.
Wuzi, the lieutenant of the guard, Wang was appointed as the general of the Great Sima Che Cavalry.
Shi Xian was afraid of Zhou Kan, Zhang Meng and others, and ruined them many times. Liu Gengsheng was afraid that they would be in danger, so he wrote and said: When the ministers heard that Shun ordered the nine officials, they gave in to each other, reaching the ultimate in the harmony of the ministers. The ministers and the court, then all things and the wild, so Xiao Shao ninety, the phoenix to the ceremony. When the Zhou Dynasty is in turmoil, the court is not in harmony, and the sun and the moon are thin, the water spring is boiling, the valley is different, and the frost is out of control. Those who are auspicious are safe in the country, and those who are different are in danger. This is the common scripture of heaven and earth, the common meaning of ancient and modern. Now His Majesty has opened three generations of business, summoned literary scholars, leisurely and tolerant, so that the virtuous and evil go hand in hand, and now the virtuous disdain to mix food, white and black are not distinguished, and evil and good are mixed. Loyalty goes hand in hand. As a result, the courtiers were discordant and even more covetous. Turn right and wrong. Therefore, it is impossible to confuse the ears and eyes and move the heart. They are divided into parties and often have friends. will be united in favor of the righteous ministers. The advancement of the ministers is the manifestation of the great rule of the country, and the trapping of the ministers is the root cause of the country's chaos. I don't know who to use, and the number of disasters and strangers is seen, this is the reason for the chilling of the ministers, since the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty for six years, according to the records of the Spring and Autumn Period, the number of disasters in the six years has not exceeded the current one. The reason for this is because of the combination of greed and evil. The reason why greed and evil go hand in hand is because the emperor is suspicious, and since he has used the virtuous to do good governance, once someone slanders him, the virtuous man retreats and good governance is no longer practiced. Those who are suspicious will attract gluttony. People who persist in the intention of continual are often the most likely to open the door to the crowd. If the evil advances, the virtuous retreat, and the crowd is prosperous, and the righteous disappear. Therefore, it is easy to have whether there is Thailand, the villain is long, and the gentleman is eliminated. The country's politics are in turmoil. The gentleman is long, the villain is eliminated, and the country is governed day by day. At that time, the Gong Gong Gong Yan and Shun Yu coexisted in the Yao Dynasty, Zhou Gong and Guan Cai lived in the Zhou position, at that time, they were ruined by each other, rumors were slandered, and they could not be remembered, Emperor Yao became the king of Shun Yu Zhou Gong, and the elimination of Gong Gong Cai Cai, so it was able to be governed. Glory to this day. Confucius and Ji Meng joined the state of Lu. Li Si and his uncle and grandson were both in the Qin State because of the eunuchs' advance, and the first emperor of the Dinggong Emperor Ji Meng Li Si eliminated Confucius's uncle and grandson, so the country was in chaos and humiliated to this day. Therefore, the beginning of the glory and disgrace of chaos depends on the people you trust. Trust is both virtuous and unswerving, the poem says; My heart is a stone, and I can't turn it. It is said that people should keep what is good. The Book of Changes says that the sweat of the trumpet means that the order is like the sweat, and the sweat will not return once it is out. Now that the good order is issued, and in the blink of an eye, it is like sweating, and retreating with virtue in less than thirty years, it is turning a stubborn stone. The Analects say that seeing is not good is like exploring the soup, and now the second mansion is not in power, and it has not been going for many years. Therefore, giving an order is like returning to sweat, using the virtuous is like turning a stone, and going to the place is like pulling out a mountain. Isn't it too difficult to hope for the harmony of yin and yang? Therefore, the group of small glimpses of the gap, the edge of the text, clever words and ugly, gossip and flying words, and the people. Therefore, the Book of Poetry says, worry quietly, and the group is small. There are groups of villains, and they are honest. In the past, Confucius and Yan Yuan praised each other. But not for friends. Yuji and Gaotao are attracted to each other, not for Zhou. Why? Loyal to the country, without evil intentions. Now the evil and the virtuous ministers are all in the palace to guard, the traitors and the party conspire, against the good and the evil, secretly conspire, set up a number of dangerous words, want to tilt the Lord, if they suddenly use their slander, but the cause of many disasters will be fulfilled. Since ancient times, there has been no precedent for the country to be ruled without killing. Therefore, Shun has the punishment of four releases, and Confucius has the punishment of two views. Then sanctification can be done. Now, with the wisdom of His Majesty, I can sincerely contemplate the heart of heaven and earth, and read the hexagram of Thailand. Take what Zhou and Tang have entered as the law, and what Qin Lu has eliminated as a warning. Think about the blessings of auspiciousness and the disasters of disasters. In order to deal with the changes of the world, let go of the evil party, and scatter the gathering of bad and dangerous things. Shut the door of the crowd. Broaden the path of public righteousness. Decide to be suspicious, hesitate separately, so that right and wrong can be known. Then all kinds of things will be eliminated, and all auspiciousness will come. This is the foundation of peace and the benefit of eternity.
When Shi Xian saw his book, he was even more on a par with Xu Shi and complained about Liu Gengsheng and others. It's a year old, and it's cold in summer. The sun is blue and lightless. Shi Xian and Xu Shizi both said that it was Zhou Kan Zhang Meng's fault, and the emperor relied on Zhou Kan in his heart, but he was afraid that the public would be uneasy and could not be trusted. Often praised Zhou Kan. The emperor wanted to help him, so he summoned Yang Xing, what did the courtiers mean by rumors that Lu Xun (gnashing teeth, meaning litigation) could not be honored?
Yang Xing is a clever person, and when he saw the emperor asking like this, he thought that the emperor was suspicious of Zhou Kan, so he testified that Zhou Kan often litigated not only in the court, but also in the prefecture and county. When the ministers heard that Zhou Kan and Liu Gengsheng and others were plotting to destroy flesh and blood, they thought that they should be killed. The reason why the minister wrote the day before yesterday that Zhou Kan was unpunishable was mainly to support the country.
The emperor said: Yes. But what is he guilty of? What now?
Yang Xing said: The minister foolishly thought that he could give the marquis of Guannei and eat 300 households. He will no longer be allowed to take charge of political affairs. In this way, the master does not lose the grace of the master. That's the best way to go. The emperor began to suspect Zhou Kan.
Sili Lieutenant Langya Zhuge Feng began to be famous for his uprightness and maverick. Several violations of noble relatives. The incumbent said a lot, and later sat in the spring and summer to govern the people, and moved to the left to the city gate captain. Zhuge Feng then wrote to Zhou Kan and Zhang Meng for the crime. The emperor is not worthy of Zhuge Feng's person, so he issued an edict to the imperial history, saying: Zhuge Feng, the captain of the city gate, used to praise the beauty of Zhou Kan and Zhang Meng, the doctor of Guanglu Xun Zhou Kan, when he was in the court, he praised the beauty of Zhou Kan and Zhang Meng many times. I couldn't bear to rule his subordinates, and moved to the left to the city gate captain. I don't know how to reflect on myself from the heart, but I am resentful and fierce in order to seek revenge, to report untestimonious statements, to exalt untestable crimes, to wantonly slander the reputation of others, and to contradict myself in my previous remarks, but I don't believe it. But I pity Feng Feng for his old age and can't bear to increase the punishment, so I am now exempting him from being a concubine. He also said: Zhuge Feng said that Zhou Kan Zhang Mengzhen did not stand up, and I Min Huai was not cured, and it was a pity that his talent did not work, but he moved Zhou Kan to the left to be the Taishou of Hedong. Zhang Meng is the commander of Huaili.
Sima Guang commented: Zhuge Feng treated Zhou Kan Zhang Meng, the former reputation and then ruined, his ambition is not to go to the traitor for the sake of the court, but to seek progress than Zhou, in addition to Zheng Peng Yang Xing and others, and there is a righteous behavior, a monarch, a person who examines beauty and evil, distinguishes between right and wrong, rewards and persuades good, and punishes adultery. This is the right way to rule. If Zhuge Feng's words are true, then Zhuge Feng should not retreat. If his words are false, then what is Zhou Kan Zhang Meng's crime? Now that they have abandoned both, where is the right and wrong of beauty and evil?
