Chapter 20 The disobedient imperial historian of Donglin
Today is the day of the early dynasty again, and Zhu Youxiao did not completely lose interest in these civil officials like Wanli. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Since it was time for the court, he still chose to go to the court, and sometimes it was a good experience to watch the ministers make noise.
This kind of court meeting, which has the atmosphere of the Senate of modern countries, will make Zhu Youxiao have a different feeling about the Ming Dynasty every time.
The Ming Dynasty, which has been in Chengping for more than 200 years, may still be a family dynasty with a small peasant economy as the main body, but in many ways, he has already possessed a political phenomenon that transcends this era.
Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but secretly wonder that if with his own efforts, seventeen years later, the Ming Dynasty really did not fall, would China's history really go in another direction, an evolutionary process of the Chinese nation that has declined but has no tribulations and shames.
Three whips sounded, and the civil and military officials embroidered with birds and beasts approached the main hall one after another, facing Zhu Youxiao, and they all began to shout long live.
Zhu Youxiao's head.
After the little yellow door shouted flat, these officials, who were either scarlet, sky blue, or blue and black, and dressed in official robes, held elephant wat in their hands, and began to stand on the left and right.
At this time, Zhang Yong, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, looked at Wang Jimo, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and at the same time looked at Xu Biqian and Chen Xianqing.
Imperial history Chen Xianqing first stood up: "Your Majesty, since the twenty-fourth year of Wanli, the Son of Heaven has rarely sacrificed to the sky, so that my Ming Dynasty has been dry and rainy for many years, almost into a big disaster, and now Shaanxi has been in drought for several months, because of the thin sky, now Your Majesty is the king of the Holy Ming, the emperor of the people, I hope Your Majesty will practice and sacrifice to the sky to calm the society." ”
Zhu Youxiao has also been to the court several times since he became emperor this month.
In his memory, the emperor who loves the emperor the most in this court is this imperial history Chen Xianqing, but he can't do anything with him, because he is a speech official, and this guy just says something that has no practical meaning, but you can't refute it.
For example, this time Chen Xianqing let himself sacrifice to the sky again, this is actually a sect begging for the Ming Dynasty to be smooth. Teach rituals.
As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he is because he is the son of heaven, and he has to participate in these ceremonies, because these rituals are to demonstrate his legitimacy and legitimacy in ruling the Ming Dynasty.
But Zhu Youxiao had long hated this Donglin Party official, and he didn't bother to deal with him.
Chen Xianqing didn't speak, and after smiling at Zhang Yong, Wang Jimo, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, stood up: "Your Majesty, sacrificing to the sky is a major event of the country, and the old minister also implores Your Majesty to hold a ceremony to worship the sky on the winter solstice." ”
"Weichen seconded!"
Yushi Xu Biqian stood up, and at the same time, he was accompanied by Li Banghua, the priest of the country.
Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but smile, thinking to himself that the last time I went to the early dynasty, you middle and lower-level Donglin Party officials didn't behave well and did a few practical things, but every time I went to the early dynasty, I didn't let me do it, and it was all useless things that wasted money and food and disturbed the people.
"I know everything, I will think about it in the future, you Aiqing should talk about it."
As soon as Zhu Youxiao said this, who knew that Chen Biqian stood up again: "Your Majesty, why should you think about it, sacrificing to the sky is the right thing!" ”
Zhu Youxiao is annoyed when he sees this Chen Biqian now, and now he sees that he has no courtesy of a monarch and a minister, and he comes up directly to block his words, Zhu Youxiao stands up directly and points at this Chen Biqian: "Presumptuous!" Where is the imperial history on duty today! “
"Wechen is here", Xu Xianqing is today's on-duty imperial history, so he immediately stood up.
Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao asked: "Let me ask you, if there are courtiers who have no monarch in the court, what should they be guilty of?" ”
"Your Majesty is angry, the lower officials think that Chen Yushi has not seen the actions of the king, and sacrificing to the sky is a major event of the imperial court, and Chen Yushi has the legacy of Wei Zheng, please praise Chen Yushi with righteousness and discipline!"
Xu Xianqing replied very righteously.
Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that there were officials in this court who were not afraid of his emperor, and even deliberately disobeyed his own king's intentions and deliberately shielded his ministers.
Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but be angry, this group of Donglin Party really didn't see blood or shed tears.
He suddenly shouted: "Presumptuous, you dare to threaten me like this, come here, directly drag these two people down, and beat them hard!" ”
Xu Xianqing and Chen Biqian glanced at each other in amazement, and before they could speak, they were dragged out of the hall by the two brocade guards.
At this time, Sun Chengzong immediately stood up and said busily: "Your Majesty is angry, this Chen Biqian and Xu Xianqing are really guilty of inappropriate words and want to blackmail the king, but for the sake of the two of them, they spared the death penalty of the two!" Don't make the red pill disaster again! “
Sun Chengzong's meaning is obvious, that is, Your Majesty the Emperor, you can't be capricious, at present, the Donglin Party still has power, these people are hateful, but they can't be killed so directly, otherwise they will force the dog to jump over the wall, and it is inevitable that there will be another conspiracy of Donglin Party officials to kill the monarch.
"Okay, what Mr. Sun said is that if he is spared the death penalty, he can be punished with twenty rods, and the two of them will be removed from their positions as imperial historians, and they will never be used!"
As soon as Zhu Youxiao's words came out, Zhang Yong, who was hidden in the crowd, couldn't help but smile coldly: "Don't think that with such fake mercy, my Donglin Party can let you go!" “
Seeing that Zhu Youxiao was discouraged, Sun Chengzong said again: "Your Majesty, although the matter of sacrificing to the sky is a false ceremony, but the ceremony cannot be abolished, the reason why I am different from the barbarians is because of courtesy and courtesy......"
Sun Chengzong's consolation made Zhu Youxiao feel a lot more relieved, so he nodded: "I promised to sacrifice to the sky, let's talk about other things, Liaodong, rivers, drought and other major events of the national economy and people's livelihood are the first, understand?" ”
"Wait for you to understand!"
Zhang Yong smiled secretly after chanting with the ministers, now that Zhu Youxiao has agreed to sacrifice to the sky, then his plan will also have seven. Eighty percent sure.
……
That night, Zhang Yong met with Ning Wan again:
"Brother Ning, Zhu Youxiao has promised to sacrifice to the sky, and the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky is presided over by Wang Jimo, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and my family's raw fur caravan will arrive at the boundary of Tongzhou before the winter solstice, and then return to the Fan family's grain team to exchange and sell each other in Tongzhou.
When the time comes, Eighteen Baturu will follow the Fan family to sneak into the capital secretly, and after sneaking into the capital, remember to find a place called "Qingshan Hall", where Xu Xianqing will receive you.
Xu Xianqing will use his connections in the Beijing camp to exchange these eighteen Baturu warriors with the Beijing soldiers we have bought, and the eighteen Beijing camp soldiers are the soldiers that Wang Jimo, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, has already ordered. ”
After listening to it, Ning nodded: "This is very good, once Zhu Youxiao is successfully assassinated, Brother Zijie will be the first to take the lead!" “
"Accept and concede, it is the blessing of the slave Zhang Yong to be able to sacrifice dogs and horses for the Great Khan", Zhang Yong smiled and said: "It's not too early, now the people in Dongchang are densely packed everywhere, you go out first, and then I will find another way out." ”
