Chapter 474: The Feast

Zhang Heling belongs to his relatives and knights, with his knowledge, he can't even take the exam in Daming, when the banquet is held, the surrounding observers and records are Hanlin, how can this marquis have the qualifications to intervene on weekdays?

But today, Zhang Heling came forward to solve the doubts of Emperor Hongzhi in full view of everyone, which really made those civil and military ministers who did not know what to do with a little surprise.

Maybe even Zhu Youzhu didn't expect that his brother-in-law, who didn't have much talent and knowledge, stepped forward, and was stunned for a moment before saying: "Shou Ninghou, if you don't know, just retreat." ”

Zhu Youzhi somewhat looked down on Zhang Heling's talent, not that he wanted to show Zhang Heling's face in public, but that he didn't want to affect the royal prestige because Zhang Heling was "talking nonsense" on such a serious occasion. Zhu Youji's thoughts were: "Even if you really know, you can't put forward a correct point of view at your level, and what I want now is to say that there is something wrong with this matter in a gentle way, so that the ministers can discuss it." ”

But Zhang Heling has come out of the courtiers, and he wants to solve the emperor's doubts and worries but is not allowed, so it is really a shame to shrink back in such a gloomy way.

Zhang Heling stubbornly said: "Your Majesty, the minister does have occasional gains. ”

Zhu Youzhu nodded.

Zhang Heling was looked at by the ministers, his face was a little red, but he still said respectfully, "Back to Your Majesty, according to the investigation, Hongwu twenty-five years Yiwen Prince Xu, Taizu has not established a prince for a long time, when Taizong fought in the north, guarding the territory, and was valued by Taizu, but when Taizu died in the thirty-first year of Hongwu, he left an edict to Taizong as the heir and inherited the unification, but there were thieves Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, Fang Xiaoru and others who could not return to Taizong's town and supported the son of Prince Yiwen to succeed to the throne, violating the order of Taizu's throne 'brother to brother and'. To the 35th year of Hongwu, Emperor Taizong was assisted by the sages in the court, succeeded to the throne of the emperor in Yingtian, and set the national policy for the traitorous ministers, which was to create the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Zhang Heling's words were not fast, but he was very rhythmic, although he explained the general situation, he obviously ignored several key issues.

Zhang Heling mentioned the "Jing Nan", which is already a breakthrough, and after Zhu Di succeeded to the throne, he did abolish the new political and legal code promulgated during the Jianwen period, and restore everything to the old system of Hongwu.

This is a sign of his respect for historical facts.

However, Zhang Heling's words did not mention that Taizu canonized the "imperial grandson", but said that Taizu passed on the throne to Taizong with a testament, and said that Taizu mentioned the "brother to brother" of the imperial throne inheritance, but selectively ignored the second and third brothers of the crown prince Zhu Biao, that is, the king of Qin and the king of Jin at that time.

Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the fourth son had the ability, but the basic ancestral system was there, and before the Ming Dynasty, there was no tradition of the Qing Dynasty to select the virtuous and abolish the long and young, even if the "brother dies and the younger brother", it should be passed to the King of Qin and the King of Jin, not the King of Yan.

Shen Xi listened to Zhang Heling's words, and was a little stunned.

Zhang Heling did not follow what he wrote yesterday, it seems that the doorman of the Marquis of Shouning Mansion carefully analyzed the pros and cons for him, and thought that if the matter was mentioned too obviously, it would be easy to be caught by Emperor Hongzhi and hundreds of officials, so he sorted out such a nondescript statement.

In this way, after Zhang Heling finished speaking, the ministers of civil and military affairs present shook their heads again and again.

Whether it is those who support the restoration of the Jianwen era name, or those who do not, they all feel that Zhang Heling's words are not advisable.

After Zhu Youzhu listened, his face was gloomy and terrifying, obviously his brother-in-law's words did not conform to his intentions, Zhu Youzhu raised his head and looked around at the ministers present, and asked: "Zhongqing's family, what Shou Ninghou said is true?" ”

That's not a good question to answer!

Zhang Heling is obviously talking nonsense, but publicly standing up to refute it means that he wants to single out the parts that are not in line with historical facts, which violates the tone set by the emperors of the Ming Dynasty since Taizong, and it is easy to cause trouble, and so directly denying the Marquis of Shouning, making him lose face, and it is easy to be hated and retaliated by relatives.

As a cadre of courtiers, even those Hanlin scholars who have always been known for their integrity, no one dared to stand up and refute them, and of course no one affirmed them.

Shen Xi looked at the situation...... It's a bit cold!

Of course, if it continues to be cold, it may be a good thing, and Emperor Hongzhi may put the manuscript on hold and no longer delve into it, then he can get away with it.

But Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhu obviously didn't die so easily, he picked up the playbook again, and asked the eunuch to hand it to Xie Qian: "Xie Shaobao, you read this book." ”

"Yes." Xie Qian took the notebook from Shen Xi, stood up, and turned back to face the civil and military officials present...... Since he is not reading it as a speaker, he does not need to return to the speaker, but only needs to read the recital in his hand as if he were reading a holy decree.

Fortunately, Xie Qian didn't read Shen Xi's name, but only mentioned some of the old systems played by Shen Xi about Jianwen's new policy.

At the end of the recital, Shen Xi implored Emperor Hongzhi to show whether to list these new policies in the "Daming Huidian", in fact, he was asking Emperor Hongzhi whether he should face up to the historical facts of the existence of the Jianwen era.

Of course, Shen Xi would not be stupid enough to ask the Son of Heaven to go to the temple for Emperor Jianwen, and he must have had this emperor exist, because he knew that since Yongle and ended with Emperor Chongzhen, the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty has never affirmed Zhu Yunwen's throne, and even Wanli's restoration of the Jianwen era is also based on the need to revise history.

The temple number of Emperor Hui of the Ming Dynasty did not exist until the Southern Ming Dynasty, and was later affirmed by the rulers of the Qing Dynasty.

When Xie Qian finished reading out the recital, the ministers present did not look very good, and there was a slight discussion in the crowd.

Even Zhu Xizhou, who has always had a good temper, was muttering in a low voice: "Who is so ignorant of each other to present such a script?" Aren't you from my Hanlin Academy? ”

Wang Zan pulled him, and Zhu Xizhou didn't continue.

This question is actually certain, and it is obvious that the person who wrote the book is the one who revised the "Daming Huidian", and this task has always been the responsibility of the Hanlin Academy.

However, Zhu Xizhou's complaint was not aimed at his colleagues, but at the "Shangguan", in the eyes of Zhu Xizhou and the officials of the Hanlin Academy, this kind of orthodox manuscript involving the emperor's heir was not something that ordinary officials dared to propose, and Xie Qian deliberately did not read out who submitted it, and it was obvious that he intended to "shield" this person, so as not to attract public opinion attacks.

And the words and sentences in this recital are far from being able to reach ordinary Hanlin, and the whole article is talking about the old things of Jianwen, but there is no subjective opinion mixed with the slightest subjective opinion, let alone any suggestions, and the requests made sound reasonable, but in fact, they are making problems for Emperor Hongzhi.

In normal times, this kind of recital that gives the emperor a problem is simply asking for trouble, either issuing an edict for the emperor to reprimand him, or leaving it unpublished.

But today, since Emperor Hongzhi chose to bring this issue to the sutra banquet from the beginning, he naturally hopes that the more profound the issues in this book, the better, and only in this way can it be worth talking about by the ministers.

In this sense, the person who wrote the recital was well versed in the way of being a minister, and knew when to play what kind of recital.

Seeing Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others sitting in a precarious position, it is expected that no more than six people can write this recital, that is: Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Wang Wei, Wu Kuan, and Xu Qiong.

Needless to say, the first three are all cabinet scholars, and they have always been "in the same spirit" with Emperor Hongzhi on major issues of right and wrong.

Wang Wei is a bachelor of Hanlin, and now he is in charge of the affairs of the Hanlin Academy, when Cheng Minzheng, the vice president of the "Daming Huidian", was imprisoned, and Xie Qian had no time to take care of the revision of the book, the final review of the revision of the "Daming Huidian" will be completed here.

The fifth person, Wu Kuan, is Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu, who just returned from Ding Wei last year, entered the East Pavilion to teach the prince to study, and now he is in charge of the edict, and he is the best candidate for the future Qiqing.

Originally, with Xu Qiong's embarrassing identity now, others may not think of him, but he is the "brother-in-law" of Emperor Hongzhi, and Emperor Hongzhi has always taken the initiative to discuss with him if he has any great gifts and unification issues.

At this time, no one would have thought that this old and spicy recital was actually written by Shen Xi, a little-known historian of the Hanlin Academy in the court.

The noise in the crowd quickly subsided, and the entire hall was quiet.

Zhu Youzhu said: "Since I succeeded to the throne, the classics I have repaired, but the two parts of the "Records of the Constitution" and the "Huidian", I often think about my own mistakes, and I must take history as a mirror, so that the people can be healthy and prosperous...... The revision of the "Huidian" has been deviant, and I have been restless for a few days, why do you think of the Qing family? ”

Xu Qiong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, walked out of the crowd and saluted: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the code of the old dynasty has been abolished, and it is not necessary to record it in the book of classics. Please Your Majesty punish the person who wrote this letter in order to set the record straight. ”

Before anyone else expressed their opinions, Xu Qiong jumped out to set a tone of opposition and proposed to punish the guilt of the person who played the music.

In fact, Xu Qiong took the initiative to make it clear to the ministers: The person who played is not me, and I did not accept any instructions from the emperor, and I myself am very opposed to this matter, and I must stand up to maintain the legitimacy of Emperor Taizong's throne.

Shen Xi didn't get too nervous when he heard this, because Xu Qiong's focus was not on his proposed crime to punish himself, but in the first half, to say that Xu Qiong and Zhang Heling had basically the same tone, they both denied the fact that Taizong was usurping the throne...... Perhaps Zhang Heling's speech today is the result of discussion with Xu Qiong.

Shen Xi was a little puzzled: "Xu Qiong or Lao Cheng is serious, and he doesn't like to cater to his wishes, but the Zhang brothers are simply the echoes of Emperor Hongzhi, and now Emperor Hongzhi obviously has plans to restore the Jianwen era name, and it is just a matter of others opposing it, why did Zhang Heling jump out to oppose it?" ”

When Zhu Youzhu heard these words of admonition, he had the intention that the matter would end here, but he was still a little unwilling.

The matter of the unification of the law, since the emperor opened the golden mouth, it will not end well, otherwise it will affect the prestige of the Son of Heaven, but Zhu Youzhi himself is an indecisive person, he pays great attention to the opinions of others, and listens to Xu Qiong's performance so sincerely, and others have not raised objections, according to his past habits, it is easy to nod and respond.

Just when the scene was a little stagnant, Ma Wensheng, who has always been old and serious, suddenly asked: "There are few virtuous emperors in the five dynasties, so the "History of the Five Dynasties" will not be repaired?" ”
