Chapter 344: Three rivers are exhausted, and Qi Shanshan collapses
After listening to Taishi Boyang's father's words, the heavenly womb's nose was crooked, "You, you, are you alarmist, threatening someone?" ”
Father Boyang said calmly: "The minister is just doing his duty, and there is nothing alarmist, the king can wait to see if what the minister said is right or not." ”
"Hmph---, Father Boyang, don't forget that you are also a courtier of the Zhou royal family, if the Zhou royal family perishes, you yourself will have no good fruit to eat. Besides, you said that the Weishui was cut off and the mountains and rivers were blocked, why didn't I see it? It is clearly alarmist and demagogic to the people, and it should be beheaded. "After all, Father Yu Shi is the secretary appointed by the Heavenly Palace, and he is the head of the hundred officials, so of course he has to speak for the Son of Heaven.
"You wait, in less than half an hour, you will know whether the Weishui has been cut off and whether the mountains and rivers are blocked." Father Boyang said coldly.
If today's royal secretary is Zhong Shanfu or Cheng Boxiu's father, Boyang's father may be more polite when he speaks, but forget about Yu Shi's father, after all, according to age, Boyang's father should be the elder of Yu Shi's father, and according to the time of his tenure, Yu Shi's father can't be compared with Boyang's father. When he was an official, Yu Shi's father had just been born.
There is no comparison between the two.
What's more, as a duty, what Boyang's father said is not unreasonable, after all, there is such a big earthquake, the ground is undulating, and it is normal to block the river water. It's a normal thing.
But in the case of that year, such a problem had to be carefully considered, and then ask God to see if there was something inappropriate about what he had done, which caused God's dissatisfaction, which led to the earthquake and the river flowing.
"Your Majesty, Father Boyang is alarmist and bewitches my king, and he should be beheaded." Seeing that he didn't scare Boyang's father, Yu Shi's father said to Tiangong.
In fact, when he just heard Father Boyang say that the Zhou royal family was going to perish, Tiangong Yan was already angry to the extreme, and now that Father Yu Shi said this, he was even more angry, "You all say, Father Boyang said such a rebellious word, should he be beheaded?" ”
It seems that the Son of Heaven is really angry, and obviously said that he was going to behead Boyang's father.
Yin Qiu's father, Yin Jifu, was also an official in the same dynasty as Boyang's father, and he didn't go to Boyang's father's house when he was young.
"Doctor Yin Qiu, just say your opinion." Of course, Father Yu Shi saw that Yin Qiu wanted to avoid this question, so he asked directly.
"This?" Yin Qiu was forced to have no way out, so he stammered and said: "Although Boyang's father is Taishi, he should be loyal to the country, and it is indeed inappropriate to say that the Zhou family will perish, as for how to deal with it, please ask the king to decide." This has made clear an attitude, that is, what Father Boyang said is indeed a little inappropriate. If it is just the previous dynasty, how can your father Boyang be so bold as to dare to say that the current dynasty is going to perish?
Isn't this looking for death, or is it trying to do something?
"You directly say your opinion, should Boyang's father be executed?" Tian Gongyan has always regarded Yin Qiu as his own person, and in the face of the key choice, of course, Yin Qiu has to come up with a clear opinion.
Yin Qiu knew that the matter had come to this point, and there was no way to dodge it, so he glanced at Boyang's father and said, "It stands to reason that he should be executed." ”
"Uncle Wang, tell me your opinion." Yin Qiu's opinion has been clear, and Zhou Tianzi Ji Gongyu asked Uncle Wang.
Wang Shuyou is not an ordinary person, he didn't even think about it and said directly: "Boyang's father is the Taishi of the court, and it is his duty to deduce the mandate of heaven, as for what kind of words to say, it is done by temperament, although the words are inappropriate, but they are far more than execution." ”
It was as if Father Boyang had nothing to do, and Father Tiangong and Father Qing Shi were unhappy when they heard it.
"Uncle Wang, you are also a descendant of the surname Ji, and everyone says that our dynasty is going to fall, why do you still speak for him?" Seeing this, Father Yu Shi said as if he was pulling in.
"Hmph---, whether a dynasty is dying or not is not something that can be destroyed by talking about it at all, it depends on the mandate of heaven and the rule of man, if we are the monarch and the ministers are united and govern together, when the world is governed, why worry about other people's nonsense?" Wang Shuyou said.
This is tantamount to excusing Boyang's father, as long as you, Zhou Tianzi and his ministers, govern the world well, and when the people are rich and the world is peaceful, even if your Boyang's father breaks the sky, the Zhou royal family will not perish.
But if the Son of Heaven is mediocre, the ministers are flattering, the officials oppress the people, and the earthquakes, the river is broken, and so on, then it is strange that the world does not die?
"Then what do you say about dealing with a bold courtier like Father Boyang?" Tian Gongyu said very unhappily.
"A fine of half a year to see the after-effects." Uncle Situ Wang said his own way of dealing with it.
"Okay---, according to what Uncle Wang said, he will fine Boyang's father for half a year." Tian Gongyu had no choice but to say.
If you are fined, you will be fined, but Taishi is a technical job, not everyone can do it, and there is no way for Tian Gongyan not to let him do this errand.
After all, the ground under his feet is still shaking, and when Zhou Tianzi really doesn't have time to think about how to deal with Boyang's father's affairs, it is better to think about how to avoid this earthquake.
"Father Yushi, you see that the ground under your feet is shaking, where should you go?" Seeing that the cracks under his feet were getting bigger and bigger, Tian Gongyan asked Father Yu Shi with a surprised face.
"The king should hurry back to the palace, otherwise this crack will get bigger and bigger, and it will eventually trap us all." Father Yu Shi suggested.
"Well---, then hurry back to the palace." At this time, Tian Gongyan was more dependent on Father Yu Shi like a child, and he listened to whatever he said.
"The king shall not shake, the earth shall shake, and the houses shall fall. Returning to the palace at this time is tantamount to asking for a dead end. Seeing that the Son of Heaven was preparing to return to the palace at the instigation of Father Yu Shi, Father Taishi Boyang hurriedly said.
After all, he was a courtier of the Zhou royal family, and although the king wanted to execute him just now, out of responsibility for the royal family, he immediately stopped the idea of returning to the palace of the Heavenly Palace.
"Don't you see the cracks under your feet getting bigger? You say you don't dare to go back to the palace, so what should we do? Where to go? Although Tian Gongyan didn't like Father Boyang, he also knew at this time that only what Father Boyang said was the most authoritative.
"The king should go to an open place, avoiding places such as houses and walls." Father Boyang suggested.
"Okay---, Yu will listen to you alone, and let's go to the open space in front of the main hall together." Tian Gong Yu said.
A few people had just come to the open space in front of the main hall, and before they could gain a firm foothold, there was a report from the scouts outside, "Report ---, Qiqi Wang, there was an earthquake in Qishan less than two hundred miles away from Haojing, Jingshui, Weishui, Luoshui, and the three rivers were cut off, Qishan collapsed, and the situation was extremely dangerous---"
Yes---
Everyone looked at Taishi Gongboyang's father in surprise, this time he was really right, Weishui really broke off, not only that, but Qishan also collapsed.
If this continues, will the Zhou royal family really perish?
