Chapter 250: The Great Gift

“…… Emperor Kao Hancheng set up King Tao as the crown prince, and set up Sun Jing, King of Chu Xiao, as King Dingtao, and worshiped the king of the Communist Party. The co-king, the crown prince's biological father. Shida Sikong Shi Dan thought that he was full of grace and righteousness.

Now His Majesty has entered the unification, and it is advisable to follow the story of King Tao, and the second son of King Yi, Chongren King Houxuan, succeeded King Xing and attacked King Xing. After the son of King Anyi of Song Pu entered Renzong, he was Yingzong. Sima Guang said that Pu Wang Yizun was a high-ranking official, and he was called Wang Bo but not named.

Fan Zhen also said: 'Your Majesty has tested Renzong, if you take King Pu as the test, you will not be righteous. ’

It is to establish the Pu Wang Yuan Temple, and to worship the Pu King for the Pu State Gong Pu Pu. Cheng Yizhi said: 'For the latter, it is said that the latter is the parents, and the birth is the uncle and uncle, and the great Lun of this life is also. However, the righteousness that is born is supreme and great, and it is appropriate not to set up special titles. It is said that the emperor's uncle and uncle are the kings of a certain country, and they are both orthodox and clear, and they are also extremely respectful. 'King Xingxian Yu Xiaozong is his younger brother, and His Majesty Yu is his biological father, and he is equal to King Pu Anyi. His Majesty should call Xiaozong the imperial examination, change the name of King Xingxian to 'Emperor Uncle Xingxian King', and concubine to 'Imperial Uncle Xingxian Princess'.

Whoever sacrifices to the king and the concubine who call themselves 'nephew emperors' will be orthodox, private, and gracious, and can be ...... for the eternal law."

This is the recital of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu "Mao" Cheng.

As far as Sun Dan knows, it is because of this twist and turn that this started the years-long dispute over gifts in the early years of Jiajing.

According to the original trajectory of history, the "Mao" Shangshu should have appeared on the sixth day of the emperor's registration. But the expected big event did not happen, which made Sun Dan a little strange.

Later, he thought about it, and then he understood. When the emperor entered the capital, the Damingmen incident was reported in advance by Sun Dan, and the emperor's attitude was much more resolute than in real history, which also made Yang Shoufu and the ministers see the strength of the little emperor and no longer treat him as a child. Because of the concerns in their hearts, the ministers did not take the initiative, but only secretly observed below.

Next, Sun Dan entered the palace and threw out a whip tax reform measure. Although this matter has not yet been put on the table, it has already stirred up a thousand waves. Yang Tinghe also has the intention of reform, but his plan is more radical than Sun Dan's, and he also has the heart to come up with a more perfect program than Sun Dan's proposal. The energy of the ministers was also involved in this tax reform, and they didn't have the heart to discuss the big gift for a while.

Next is the Shuntianfu Kechang fraud case, which has not appeared in history. As soon as the fraud case in the field was in trouble, no one remembered the matter of discussing the big gift.

Originally, Sun Dan did not appear because of the butterfly effect of the Council of Great Gifts because of his appearance.

But he never expected that more than three months after the emperor succeeded to the throne, he still came as promised.

Looking at this recital, Sun Dan could only smile bitterly. In his heart, he really didn't want to see this happen right under his nose. The discussion of the great gift was very wide-ranging, and the upright ministers of the DPRK and China were swept away because of this catastrophe. Many of them are still talented and capable ministers, if Yang Shen is able to be a minister, how can there be a later dictatorship of Yan Songshan, and how can there be a sluggish dynasty in the later period of the Jiajing Dynasty. It can be said that the decline and fall of the Ming Dynasty began with Jiajing.

If there was no great ceremony, the vitality of the Ming Dynasty would not have been damaged into what it was later.

However, since something happened, Sun Dan was helpless. He has not yet entered the core decision-making level, and many things cannot be said. However, because this matter is so wide-ranging, it can be said that all the officials are involved. If you are not careful, you will have to get caught up in this political struggle.

Fortunately, he is now a magistrate in Fangshan, so he can avoid this brutal struggle.

Sun Dan came to the palace today for two things, one was to report to the Ministry of Officials, and then go to Fangshan to take up the post of magistrate. The second is to report to the celebrant supervisor, and then go to the inner study hall to be a teacher.

This is also his willingness to come to the celebrant eunuch, but he doesn't want to witness this big event as soon as he comes.

The book of the Ministry of Rites "Mao" Cheng quoted many allusions at the beginning, and the writing was very complicated, no wonder Huang Jin couldn't understand it.

But Sun Dan knew the core meaning.

According to the opinion of "Mao" Cheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Zhu Houxi "should call Xiaozong the imperial examination, change the name of Xingxian Wang to the emperor's uncle and uncle Xingxian to the king, and Xingxian princess to the emperor's uncle and mother to present the princess"; For King Xingxian and Princess Xingxian, Zhu Houxi always called himself "Emperor Nephew"; Zhu Houxuan, the second son of King Yi, succeeded Queen Xingxian and was crowned King Xing. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to succeed Zhu Houyu to Xiaozong and officially become the younger brother of Wuzong to inherit the throne, because Zhu Houyu is the root of the only seedling, so Zhu Houxuan, the son of King Yi, will be succeeded to Zhu Youqi, the king of Xingxian, to inherit the throne.

For Sun Dan, a modern person, "Mao" Shangshu's painstaking move is completely taking off his pants and farting.

In fact, one of the core contents of Chinese feudal culture is justifiable, and this is especially true on the major issue of imperial succession, which is necessary to maintain the ruling order of feudal dynasties.

If the successor is not justified, he may be considered a usurper.

This is a very serious matter.

However, Emperor Jiajing, who has a strong "sexual" personality, does not recognize his father, but I'm afraid it's not so easy, right?

A big storm is coming.

Sun Dan thought that his old friend Yang Shen was about to fall into this battle between the government and the government, and his heart felt heavy.

However, he is now just a small magistrate, and he can't help much. Nowadays, you can only make soy sauce well, and you can't offend both ends.

Bi Yun also knew that as soon as this recital was published, he would be able to see the sky and poke out a big hole, and he was also horrified in his heart. I don't know what to do with it, so I said something to "refute it sternly".

But when he looked at Sun Dan's appearance now, he seemed to disagree with his own point of view, and he was puzzled: "Jingyuan, what is your opinion?" ”

Sun Dan returned the fold to Bi Yun: "Sun Dan is just a small Qipin Zhi County, so it's not good to talk about it." ”

Bi Yun: "Jingyuan, you are the emperor of Emperor Wuzong, please have something to say." ”

Sun Dan pondered his tone for a moment and said: "Since there is no approval from the cabinet on this note, it must have been acquiesced, or the result of the deliberation of the cabinet ministers and auxiliary ministers. According to Sun Dan, if the celebrant rashly refutes it, it will not only cause greater waves, but also make His Majesty not know how to deal with it. Even Your Majesty doesn't know about such a thing, so you will be approved, but I'm afraid it's inappropriate. In my opinion, let's let the Son of Heaven look at it first. Try to make big things small and small things into nothing. If the ministers really let the ministers talk about it, I am afraid it will not be the blessing of the country. ”

Everyone in the celebrant and supervisor nodded one after another: "Lord Sun is really a person who has become a man who seeks the country, this matter can't be made a big deal, let Your Majesty look at it first." ”

Bi Yun: "Okay, Sun Dan, you and I will go to see Your Majesty immediately." ”

Hearing what they said so seriously, Huang Jin realized that something was wrong, and he was shocked, and said: "Give it to me, if you want to see Your Majesty, I will also see it, Sun Dan is just a small seven-rank sesame official, what power does he have to face the saint?" ”

Bi Yun didn't show Huang Jin the excerpt, and sneered: "Didn't Huang Gonggong read the excerpt just now, why, don't you understand the key to this?" ”

Huang Jin was swallowed by Bi Yun when he said this, but he refused to admit defeat: "Look at it, I didn't let you talk about it?" ”

Bi Yun continued to sneer: "Gonggong Huang, Sun Dan is the senior of the Inner Book Hall, and he holds the banner of the king's order, he has the power to fold the upper play, and he can face the saint, he has also seen this recital, and he must have his own ideas, so he happened to go over to discuss with His Majesty." ”

After speaking, Bi Yun didn't talk nonsense, and pulled Sun Dan and walked towards Yuxi Palace.

Huang Jin had no choice but to follow.

The snow was so heavy that the road had begun to accumulate with snow, and there was a rustling of the road.

Along the way, Huang Jin was very depressed. In his opinion, the "Mao" Shangshu must be very important. It's no wonder that I was annoyed by "Mao" Cheng's quotations from the beginning, and I didn't finish reading it, so I naturally didn't know what he was saying on it.

Later, if the emperor asks for his opinion, how should he answer?

If the matter is really urgent, and one is not properly handled, it will be troublesome.

As soon as he thought of this, on a cold day, Huang Jin's body suddenly became a little hot. Bi Yun didn't want to ask, Sun Dan could still say a few words, "Sun Dan...... What do you think? ”

Sun Dan: "What does Gonggong Huang think?" ”

Huang Jin said angrily: "I haven't finished reading it at all, what can I say." Otherwise, it would be impossible to ask you. ”

Sun Dan: "I don't have any opinions, listen to Your Majesty's judgment!" ”

"You!"

Bi Yun suddenly laughed: "Grandpa Huang, it's good to read more. Now that the famous scholar Sun Jingyuan is teaching in the inner study hall, such a good opportunity cannot be encountered by ordinary people, if Huang Gonggong has leisure, he may wish to go over and listen to it. ”

"You!" Huang Jin was so angry that his lips couldn't help trembling, and he said fiercely: "I am the steward of the inner study hall." ”

Bi Yun said "oh" and said deliberately: "Forget it, Gonggong Huang, how can you say that you are also the first person to be the prime minister, and you are my boss of Lao Bi, we will be colleagues in the future." It is time to cooperate sincerely and share the worries of the monarch. We used to fight back and forth, and we were tired. In fact, he didn't say anything, but talked about some things about the etiquette of the monarch and the ministers, and "Mao" Shangshu didn't do this. Later, if Your Majesty asks about you, you can go back and stay in the middle directly, and you can't keep it wrong. ”

Huang Jin didn't know that Bi Yun was setting a trap for himself, and when he said this, he thought that Bi Yun was soft, and he was proud in his heart, and laughed: "That's good, you and I naturally want to unite." But ......" he was still a little puzzled: "Didn't you say before that you couldn't stay in it?" And Sun Dan's opinion is also to let His Majesty see it first. ”

Bi Yun pretended to be very serious and stopped: "I said earlier that I couldn't stay in the middle of the country, and that's because the stay should be decided by His Majesty." As for the handling opinions, I think it's better to stay in the middle. As for Sun Dan, he has no objection to staying in the middle school! ”

Huang Jin was relieved, "Well, that's it." ”

Sun Dan almost laughed out loud, if Huang Jin and the others also replied like this when they saw the emperor, they would be unlucky. He quietly gave Bi Yun a thumbs up.
