1210 The recital of the Holy Father
This time in the early dynasty, although it was only in the middle of March, the weather in this capital division was still very cold, and it can be said that it was the largest number of early dynasties.
Civil and military officials, full of them. However, if you observe carefully, you can find that the military attachΓ© is mostly in the mood of watching the excitement, and it is not his own business, and he hangs high. In the civil service queue, it is serious. Many people are gearing up, just waiting for Yan Shenggong to attack, and they can rush up.
Before the emperor arrived, the civil and military officials who had already stood in the line, and there were familiar colleagues around them, they couldn't help but whisper.
"Yan Shenggong is here, no matter how unhappy Your Majesty is, he will definitely give face, right?" Kong Debin said in a low voice.
Standing next to him was Ma Deli, who nodded and replied confidently: "That's for sure, Your Majesty will rule the world, and we scholars will not be missing, and Yan Shenggong is our Confucian representative." It is impossible to let those illiterate craftsmen rule the world, right? β
Hearing this, the person in front of him suddenly turned his head and interjected: "Don't you know that Your Majesty has promoted pinyin literacy?" There are also many training classes, go out for a walk, and there are already many craftsmen who can know some words! β
When Madley heard this, his face immediately looked a little unsightly, and he immediately retorted: "So what, I just know a few words, it's far away!" Back then, the official had studied hard for decades, and now he can be this official, and he is still fighting and unconsciousness every day, just by them? Hehe......"
"That is, even if they all know how to read, what if they can recite poetry and compose lyrics? Can you be able to discuss the word? Can you ......" Kong Debin also immediately expressed support, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by another young colleague, who looked at him in a surprised tone and said as if he didn't know: "You still think about chanting poetry and lyrics?" Crazy? You don't know that Your Majesty doesn't like these? The assessment of the officials, can there be poetry and lyrics? β
Hearing this, Kong Debin was stunned, and hurriedly explained: "No, this official didn't mean that. This official means officialdom and interpersonal communication, don't they all use this to judge talent? It's hard to ......"
Still didn't finish speaking, the other party turned around disdainfully, but also dropped a sentence and said: "Don't use that old idea, now adults can talk about some scientific and technological knowledge when they see it, you are outdated!" β
"You...... What did you say? Kong Debin's face immediately turned red, and he even said that he was old-fashioned, that he was outdated, didn't this mean that the food was ancient? I can't bear this, I'm going crazy when I see it.
However, Madley beside him grabbed him and whispered, "The Tao is different, don't conspire with each other!" Don't worry about this kind of young man in general, and wait for Yan Shenggong, when the time comes, there will naturally be a time to slap him in the face, who is outdated or who has gone astray? β
"Yes, you're right!" Kong Debin nodded yes, and said hatefully, "The teachings of the sage are all remembered in the dog's belly, and they are also worthy of being officials!" β
When the young official in front heard this, he turned his head and sneered: "Do you think this official doesn't know, you were recorded in an inferior assessment because of the substandard science and technology related to the Beijing inspection last year, and you will be recorded next time, you must be demoted, are you in a hurry?" β
"You ......" When Kong Debin heard this, his face turned red again when he had just returned to normal, but the official position of the other party was a little higher, his strength was not as strong as that of a young man, and his speech was not as sharp as that of the other party, which made him feel panicked.
Now is the early dynasty, and conflicts like this are mostly in the ranks of civil officials. However, in the end, it is a serious occasion, whether it is the person concerned or the person on the side, there will be restraint, otherwise if you change places, you may have a group fight. Of course, there may be hope.
Because this kind of similar conflict is often the stubborn side, some people use reasons like "if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and don't affect the major affairs of Yan Shenggong", so that it can be regarded as safe and sound.
Those who follow the old ways are pinning their hopes on the face of the Holy Father. The one who had a better face threatened his opponent and said: "This official should keep in mind the teachings of the sage, and should follow the holy prince and advise His Majesty." β
Or, it is to gain face for himself in this way: "Maintaining the Confucian road is the direction of righteousness, and I am willing to do it, and I will not hesitate to do whatever it takes." β
ββ¦β¦β
Anyway, there is Yan Shenggong in front, these people dare to throw anything out, it is nothing more than a kind of idea that the sky is falling, and there are tall people who are on top of it.
Of course, these officials who speak conflictingly are basically at the back of the line. The big guy at the front of the queue basically didn't talk to each other, just silently waiting for the emperor to come.
"The emperor has arrived!" As the shouts of the chamberlain sounded, the emperor finally appeared.
Emperor Chongzhen was seated, and after the civil and military officials finished saluting, he glanced at the courtiers below. He didn't have to deliberately feel it, he could feel a tense atmosphere underneath. The important ministers in front of them all had serious faces, as if they were holding back their big moves.
He naturally knew in his heart that officials in important positions such as cabinet ministers and six ministers of Shangshu, even if Yan Sheng Gong changed his mind and opposed it, these people would not jump out to oppose it. Because it is impossible for those old sour Confucians to be in high positions. Even if there is, the concept is not the same, and it is impossible for him to sit in a high position. Nowadays, these high-ranking officials, not to say that they strongly support the promotion of science and technology, at least not oppose it is the bottom line.
Thinking so, Emperor Chongzhen deliberately glanced at the Yan Shenggong again, and saw that when he came over by himself, he seemed to be a little more energetic, as if he was preparing to speak. Is this submissive or non-submissive? This is a bit hard to judge! But it doesn't matter, whatever you say publicly, I'll just wait!
When he was thinking like this, Gao Shiyue, the eunuch on duty on the side, took a few steps forward and shouted loudly the customary opening remarks of "If there is something to do, there is nothing to retreat from", the early dynasty officially began.
At this moment, everyone's eyes, including Shoufu Wen Tiren, all looked at Yan Shenggong. Everyone knows that today's early dynasty is nothing more than this major event: Yan Shenggong face saint, maintain Confucian Taoism, and refute the fallacy and heresy of science and technology!
Sure enough, as soon as Gao Shiyue's voice fell, he saw that Yan Shenggong had once again sorted out his appearance, looking very solemn, and then coughed, strode out of the ranks, and played loudly: "The minister has this music!" β
"Quasi-play!" Emperor Chongzhen just looked at him and said calmly.
Although this kind of dialogue of "ministers have their own music" and "quasi-performance" has been staged in the Forbidden City I don't know how many times, but this time, when this dialogue fell, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty almost held their breath and pricked up their ears to listen to the next recital of Yan Shenggong.
Many people even secretly glanced at the emperor's reaction to see what kind of attitude the emperor had. Waiting for the Holy Father to play right, will you be annoyed and angry?
The officials who wrote the notebook secretly pinched the notebook they kept in their sleeves, felt the existence, and considered the action to wait for a while.
Under the watchful eyes of all people, I saw Yan Shenggong look up at Emperor Chongzhen and say loudly: "When Emperor Wu of the former Han Dynasty was in power, he deposed a hundred schools and respected Confucianism alone. As a result, Confucianism has been passed down for thousands of years. And for thousands of years, it has not been repeated, so it can be seen that Confucianism is the road of my China......"
Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen's brows furrowed slightly, as if this Yan Holy Father did not do what he said. Since this is the case, he will not be polite, but if he does not cooperate, there will be more trouble. But trouble is trouble, I came through anyway, the son of the plane, and I will be afraid of this trouble!
And after listening to the military officials below, they probably understood what Yan Shenggong was trying to express. It didn't surprise them. Suddenly, some people were disappointed, but many more people were as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. They touched their own movements, and they couldn't wait to be the first to rush out, echoing what Yan Shenggong said, and winning the name of the first attachment of this battle of unification, which was admired by scholars all over the world!
When Wen Tiren and the others heard this, their brows furrowed. Although they are also Confucian scholars, they deeply understand the influence of science and technology on the Ming Dynasty, even if they are not as the henchmen of Emperor Chongzhen, they are not willing to be beaten to death by Yan Shenggong with a stick in science and technology.
Xu Guangqi also touched the music in his sleeve, and stared at Yan Shenggong, preparing to stand up against it as soon as he finished speaking.
Yan Shenggong seemed to be out of the way, no one looked at it, and still maintained his previous posture, talking there. Although he is a little older and still tired, his voice at this time is still very loud, obviously he has been preparing for a long time, just for this moment: "...... But in this dynasty, although the minister has not heard anything outside the window in the past few years, he has finally heard the rumors, especially last year. There is a theory of science and technology, which came out of thin air and spread all over the world, and in just a few years, it faintly has the tendency to be compared with Confucianism and Taoism. The minister was very surprised by this, and inquired about it, only to know that this doctrine originated from His Majesty, and it was for His Majesty's doctrine. Therefore, the minister deliberately looked at the theory of science and technology......"
It's coming, it's coming, Yan Shenggong is on the emperor, and the climax has arrived! Hearing this, the military attaches who had the hearts of the people who ate melons shouted loudly in their hearts, faintly excited. They all opened their eyes wide, looked at the impassioned Yan Shenggong, and secretly looked at the expressionless Emperor Chongzhen, and did not dare to miss a trace of wonderful scenes.
And those civil officials who stick to the old ways also raised their hearts to their throats and prepared one by one. If the emperor was angry, they would immediately support him. There is the Holy Father of Yan in front, there are many people, see what else the emperor can do!
This science and technology, if the emperor hadn't written a book and said it, then they would have to wait for Yan Shenggong to come forward, and they would have started it a long time ago. Whoever brings it up will be sprayed to death!
It's just that there is no way, the science and technology compiled by the emperor, the emperor has promoted the spread of science and technology, and the opponent is too strong, especially the emperor to expand the territory, destroy the Jianyu, destroy Mongolia, and the prestige is higher than a year, so that they have self-knowledge and do not dare to go up to spray the emperor. Now it's time to fight back. These people thought to themselves, and their faces turned red with excitement.
Wang Chengen, the commander of Dongchang, stood behind Emperor Chongzhen, staring at Yan Shenggong all the time, and when he heard the words he played correctly, he couldn't help but have fire in his eyes, and scolded his mother in his heart. I was only willing to promise before, but I didn't expect it to come to an end, but I took a bite hard. I lost myself to the emperor in advance, knowing that the emperor was generous, and I would not blame myself for this. If you want to meet a small-minded emperor, you can't escape the charge of incompetence, and you probably won't be able to sit in this position.
Damn, you're a holy prince, wait and see! Wang Chengen stared at Yan Shenggong, and his heart was ruthless.
For this situation, Emperor Chongzhen had already expected it, and he did not have wishful thinking to say whatever he wanted. There are so many spineless people in Yan Shenggong, and it is also possible to have a hard point once in a while, after all, it involves the interests of the family and the glory and wealth of the Kong family for thousands of years!
But in this way, he was a little unhappy after all, and his eyes were a little cold.
Kong Debin kept his eyes on the front in the ranks of civil officials, and he found that many people were eager to try, just waiting for Yan Shenggong to come out and speak after he finished speaking. Whether it is a like-minded person like him, or those with different ways, such as Xu Guangqi, the secretary of the ministry, is definitely not, looking at Xu Tianguan's appearance, he also wants to rush out.
Kong Debin was very clear in his heart that this court meeting will definitely attract the attention of the whole country, and everything at today's court meeting will definitely spread all over the world. And the first person to support the Holy Father, will surely be remembered by all. However, everyone else knows this.
Thinking so, he suddenly saw that Emperor Chongzhen's eyes changed a little when he looked at Yan Shenggong, and he seemed to have the intention of having a seizure, and suddenly an idea came to him.
If the emperor gets angry first, he is likely to beat others to death with a stick without giving others a chance, after all, the emperor is definitely not a fool, knowing that if he doesn't do this, all the officials will support Yan Shenggong when he turns around, and the emperor will be difficult to ride a tiger.
If you express your support for Yan Sheng Gong when the emperor is angry, you can not only rob the reputation of being the first to support Yan Sheng Gong, but also drive others to express their stance before the emperor is angry, so it is very likely that the emperor has to hold back his opinions even if he has opinions.
Thinking so in his heart, Kong Debin didn't care, such an opportunity to brush up his reputation must not be avoided by others. Therefore, at this time, he suddenly coughed loudly, and without waiting for orders, he strode out, interrupted the words of Yan Shenggong, and played loudly: "Your Majesty, Yan Shenggong is the authentic inheritance of Confucianism and Taoism, and he is highly respected and deeply obeyed. Therefore, Yan Shenggong's statement on science and technology, the minister also agrees! β
It was a little abrupt for him to mix like this. When the Jinyi guard officer in charge of order saw it, he immediately shouted: "Be bold, don't retreat!" β
Seeing this on the side, Ma Deli couldn't guess Kong Debin's thoughts, and secretly regretted being preempted by Kong Debin, so he coughed without hesitation, stepped out of the ranks, and said something similar.
Not only him, but also the other stubborn civil officials who had already prepared followed suit, and the officials of the Jinyi Guard Hall scolded him, and they were the wind in their ears.
