But how could Emperor Zhaowu give up easily? He's just hibernating, waiting for an opportunity. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
A month later, the opportunity came. News came from the south that it was Qin Lei who rescued the dying Emperor Jingtai, and took this opportunity to become the personal doctor of the Emperor of Chu, the guest of the dignitaries, and a certain princess.
Emperor Zhaowu's minions suddenly came to their senses, launched a huge criticism of Qin Lei, and for the first time, they directly aimed the spearhead at him.
The imperial historians listed Qin Lei's three major crimes in the Chu State:
One of them is 'saving the enemy', obviously the emperor of Chu is about to go to his father, but you rescue him, isn't this 'saving the enemy'?
The second is called 'collaborating with the enemy', you are His Royal Highness of the Qin State, how can you hook up with the cadres of the Chu State? Collaboration! It must be a collaborator!
The third is called 'surrendering to the enemy', we understand you, you must be in high demand at a young age, you can go to that kind of place...... I heard that Shenjing's sister is much stronger than Zhongdu's. But you shouldn't go to the princess of Chu. Although it is said that Princess Shang can win glory for the country, if she can't marry her, she will be plugged in the door, not to join the enemy.
These three major crimes are actually nothing, because they can all be explained as a last resort to save the prince. But it was the only magic weapon that pulled Qin Lei off the altar...... Look at it, your idol is not so perfect, he will also tend to be inflammatory, and his private life is not promising!
Although he couldn't knock Qin Lei down, he could cut a gap in his seemingly sturdy armor. More importantly, it paves the way for subsequent impeachments and creates an atmosphere.
And during these two months, Emperor Zhaowu further purged officials who were sympathetic to Qin Lei and introduced a group of loyal eagle dogs into the court.
Sure enough, immediately after that, all kinds of impeachment notes for him arrived, from peeking at the neighbor's aunt taking a bath when he was a child, to privately casting weapons in an attempt to steal the country, there are all kinds of crimes, if they are all confirmed, it is enough to cut him ten thousand times...... Of course, Emperor Zhaowu would not agree to the Nine Clans.
This time, there are fewer people to help Qin Lei speak, and there are obviously fewer people. First, many hardliners have already gone home to farm, and second, the officials can't offend His Majesty several times for the sake of a Royal Highness who has no return date. So they are silent again, but the meaning is completely opposite to the last time.
Even Scholar Tian Daxue, who played a key role last time, did not speak. He actually helped Qin Lei for two months, which is interesting enough! Even if Mrs. Jiang can't say that she is not here.
Emperor Zhaowu proudly pursued and struck, signaling his thugs to participate in the impeachment again. In addition to the so-called 'backbone elements' of Bo Xian Bieli, Lu Yanwu and Qin Shouzhuo, Xu Tancheng and Zhuo Wenzheng were also added this time.
For a time, the wind roared angrily, and the turbid waves were monstrous, and there was a tendency to overturn the behemoth of the king of Longwei County.
This was the third stage of the whole event, and Emperor Zhaowu finally had an absolute advantage.
Just when he thought he had won and the big picture was set, a group of angry people exploded.
These people are of very low grade, and the highest is no more than six grades; He is not very old, the oldest is only in his early forties; And the qualifications are even more shallow, and all of them are from this year's Jinshi.
Well, as everyone expected, it was the Jinshi of the eighteenth year of Zhaowu. These people are all considered to be Qin Lei's students, and the imperial court deducts a basin on Qin Lei's head, which is equivalent to deducting a basin on their heads. And Qin Lei gave them a very good impression, whether it was the disaster relief incident, the petition incident, or the later Spring Festival, he always stood by the side of the weak students and helped them resist the attacks from the traitorous minister.
After becoming an official, these new scholars learned about the old habits of the imperial court, and only then did they know that it was because of the silent protection of the Five Highnesses that they were able to be high school emperors, jinshi and ranks, and they were today.
This gratitude culminates in unprincipled worship and fearless defense.
So they decided to vindicate their grievances for the Fifth Highness. But what if everyone is soft-spoken? It doesn't matter, it's heavier than when I was a lifter at the beginning of the year...... I wasn't afraid to wear shoes barefoot at the beginning, but now that I wear shoes, I'm even more afraid.
These guys have been working for half a year, and they have not been assimilated by their predecessors, which shows how failed the official newcomer education of the Qin State is.
Within a few days, they wrote a letter to His Majesty the Emperor, demanding that the slanderous attacks on His Royal Highness the King of Longwei County be stopped and that his reputation be restored immediately...... Anyway, he is also a state cadre now, of course, he must first follow the rules, and if the rules can't be done, it's not too late to use unruly methods.
But the letter with the signatures of 250 people was sunk into the sea, and the adults of the court should do what they should do, and the impeachment and scolding were not delayed. As it turns out, just as few people take bean buns as dry food, almost no one takes these rookies seriously.
But at least they take themselves seriously...... You must know that these jinshi are quite full of fighting spirit, and when they saw that the rules really couldn't be done, they immediately became unruly. It's still the old way, kneeling in front of Chengtian Gate to petition, but it can be regarded as a familiar road.
However, Emperor Zhaowu never relaxed his surveillance of these guys...... After all, they all have a criminal record, which makes it difficult for His Majesty the Emperor to rest assured! So the day before they set off, Emperor Zhaowu got the news and was immediately shocked. He still remembers the spring demonstrations of the scholars...... Even the treacherous and cunning Wen Yanbo couldn't resist it!
So he can't let history repeat itself, because this time it will be him who will be disgraced.
Two hours before the departure of the scholars, the oracle finally came down: 'Suspend the pursuit of the king of Longwei and his comrades, and wait until they return to the country.' ’
This is the fourth phase of the whole time...... The contradiction was temporarily suppressed, but Emperor Zhaowu would not give up.
Time passed, and another month passed, and the news of Qin Lei's death from the cliff was transmitted back to China.
Emperor Zhaowu was relieved and no longer had the slightest estimate...... In fact, the reason why he was at both ends of the rat was because he was afraid of Qin Lei's counterattack. Who knows what a prince with military power and power can do?
But now the scourge is dead, the sky is clear, and the time has come to settle accounts after autumn. In just seven days, Dali Temple successively detained nine leaders among the new science and technology scholars, including Shang Dezhong, Xin Litong, and Tu Gongchun.
Subsequently, Emperor Zhaowu issued an edict: the three divisions of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Criminal Department, and the Dali Temple will try the case of the king of Longwei County forming a party and plotting rebellion, and grant him the right to arbitrarily summon and detain relevant personnel......
This is the fifth stage, after three months, this liquidation of the Qin Lei Group, which was secretly planned and initiated by Emperor Zhaowu, has finally come to light. His minions, big and small, were eager to try, vowing to bring Qin Yutian and his henchmen down and make a stink, and leave a stench for 10,000 years.
These five phases totaled about 100 days, and had an extremely far-reaching impact on the direction of the Great Qin's dynasty and politics, and the great historian Fan Zhongyan called it the 'Hundred Days Countercurrent'.
was loyal to the country and escaped death several times, in exchange for such a situation. Qin Lei can only say that the emperor who specializes in black hands behind his back is really shameless! What a bastard! What a bitch!
Even if he is his own father, Qin Lei will say this, not to mention that he is not his own father.
Counterattack! Qin Lei needs a clean counterattack to sweep away the haze! Boost morale! Gather people's hearts! Fight your opponents!
But he couldn't burn Emperor Zhaowu's house, because that place was called the Imperial Palace; There was no way to threaten Emperor Zhaowu's son, because those guys were his brothers; He couldn't even knock Emperor Zhaowu's stuffy stick, because he called that guy his father......
Because he was a son to someone else, Qin Lei's best underworld tricks actually failed. Infinitely depressed, I had to put down my knife and gun, pick up the pen, and fight back in the way I am not good at...... He wanted to defend himself in a book, but found that he was really not that material, and he couldn't write a few words after searching his intestines.
This can't be blamed on him, as a guy who has failed his essay since he was a child, he is not good at anything other than writing and checking. But he would never write an examination for Emperor Zhaowu, and he couldn't swallow this breath at all.
Fortunately, when this trip to Southern Chu reached the last stop, Baling City, Qin Lei couldn't help but blurt out: "In the spring of the fourth year of Qingli, Teng Zijing guarded Baling County. "Inspiration fell from the sky!
Thank you Wen Zhenggong! Thanks to the nine-year compulsory education! Thank you to the hateful rep of the language class!
This is why Qin Yutian's famous "The Story of Yueyang Tower" has been famous for thousands of years. As we said before, this is a very political article, and it is also the most mysterious stroke written by Qin Lei in his political career, which is worth reading throughout:
At the beginning, it is said that 'in the winter of the eighteenth year of Zhaowu, passing through Baling County', this sentence is very intriguing, because if it is reasonable and legal to start from Shenjing City, you can go north to Xiangjiang River from Jiangxia City in the middle reaches of the river to return to China, and you will not pass through Baling City upstream at all. But why did you 'pass through Baling'? That was to vaguely point out that he was fleeing and returning home. This is called the opening to show his heart, and he simply refutes the slander of "collaborating with the enemy", "defecting to the enemy", "treason" and the like.
Then the second paragraph' to Guanfu Baling victory, in Dongting a lake. Connecting the distant mountains, swallowing the Yangtze River, the vast soup soup, the endless horizon; The morning sun is cloudy, and the weather is myriad. This is the grand view of Yueyang Tower. The predecessors have written about it. However, the north leads to Wuxia, the South Pole Xiaoxiang, and the people who move to the house will be here. This passage is a scene, but that's not the point, the point is to write the scene lyrically, bringing out the following ...... Beef.
At first glance, the third paragraph is also a scene, but as long as you think about it a little, you will understand that this is a portrayal of his own situation: the so-called 'rain and rain, not open for months' refers to Emperor Zhaowu's persecution and suppression of the courtiers for several months, so that the court 'roared in the yin wind', and the benevolent and righteous people were 'emptied by the turbid waves', degraded and detained. So much so that 'the sun and the stars are shining, and the mountains are hidden' make it impossible for these virtuous ministers to serve the country.
Instead, it was 'twilight, tiger roaring ape', a ** little monkey and crown, doing nonsense, tossing a big Qin court with gusts of yin wind, ghosts crying wolves. Under this kind of countercurrent, it is natural that 'business travel is not good, and the government cannot operate normally, and the country is always suffering huge losses.
Thinking of this situation, he couldn't help but 'go to the country to cherish his hometown, and be worried and fearful', which is the so-called cowardice of his hometown, and he wanted to return to the motherland as soon as possible, but he was also afraid that someone would slander His Majesty and put himself in a miserable situation. So that 'the eyes are full of gloom, and the feeling is extremely sad. The ambivalence of the dilemma at this time is vividly portrayed, and people can't help but feel deep sympathy, but also ask 'what to do?' ’
As a result, he turned his pen and changed the heaviness of the previous text, and instead imagined the beautiful scenery on Dongting Lake in spring: 'If spring and Jingming, the waves are not alarmed, the sky is bright, and the sky is blue; Sand gulls fly and gather, brocade scales swim; Shore Zhi Tinglan, lush green. ’
The haze in my heart was also swept away, and it became 'long smoke, the bright moon is thousands of miles, the floating light is golden, the still shadow sinks, and the fishing songs answer each other, what a joy this is! Apparently he had figured out something, so that he would be 'relaxed, pampered and forgotten, and put the wine in the wind, and he was happy.' 'of.
While people are happy for him, they can't help but ask, what did you figure out in front of the watery Dongting Lake?
He didn't sell Guan Zi anymore, and his answer was loud: 'Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself.' 'I, Qin Yutian, will not change my pure heart because of personal gains and losses. Whether I live in a temple or live in a grassland, I will do my best for Daqin and the people. 'It's a worry about advancing, and a worry about retreating. 'No matter how you advance or retreat, it's always the same.
'But when will it be?' 'When will I be able to let go of everything and live two days of relaxation?' I tell you it can't be. Because I have sworn that 'the worries of the world will be worried, and the joys of the world will be happy'!
In this life, he promises the country with his body, and he can't benefit the people, and it is not the ambition of his husband's life!
After making this deafening vow, he ended with a very demagogic question: 'Phew! Weisi people, who am I with? Even if I can't find a partner with the same aspirations, I will go on with determination......
We can't estimate how many loyal and brave people's sworn allegiance this article, this oath, and this sigh have brought him the sworn allegiance of loyal and brave people, how much support and support have been won for him, how many fortified cities and deep fortresses have been helped for him, and how many seemingly inevitable losses have been avoided for him.
But we can be sure that Qin Lei completely reversed his innate disadvantage in front of Emperor Zhaowu through this beautiful 'Dou Zhuan Star Shift'. He is no longer a disobedient son, but a loyal servant with a blue blood and a heart!
In the simple understanding of the people of the world, loyal ministers are great good people, ministers who deal with loyal ministers are traitorous ministers, and emperors who deal with loyal ministers are also faint kings.
This is the moral height.
How important is morality? Teacher Meng Ke taught us: 'There is much help for the righteous, but little help for the unjust. The widow is helpless, and the relatives are beside them; If you help more, the world will follow it. In other words, if you lose your morality, even your third aunt will not want to see you; On the contrary, if morality is on your side, the brothers in the Tao will not dare to bully you.
You don't see that this is the case in ancient times:
The way of Shang Tang is to crusade against Xia Ji's lack of way and return the people to peace; The way of Zhou Wu is also the way of Shang Tang.
The way of Qin Shi Huang is because it can end the war in the world and return the people to pray for peace for a hundred years; The way of the Han Gaozu is to receive the remnants of the first emperor.
The way of Emperor Wu of Wei and Shizong of Zhou is also the way of the first emperor, while the way of Jin Wu, Sui Wen, and Tang Gao is just the way of Gaozu of the Han Dynasty.
And today, after more than 200 years of strife, where does the Tao exist? Who can attain the Tao?
From this article, we see the Tao, a Tao that is different from or even surpasses those who came before us. Maybe when it spreads all over the world, it will be the day when Qin Lei attains enlightenment. Since then, he may have gone through many hardships and faced countless trials of life and death, but he will only grow stronger and stronger, and he will definitely achieve the final victory.
This is the power of the Word.
