Chapter 165: I'm Not Allowed! Zhengde's persistence
Zi said: "The ancients had three diseases, and they may die today." The madness of the past is also unrestrained, and the madness of the present is also swinging; The ancient is also cheap, and the present is also angry; The foolishness of the past is straight, and the foolishness of the present is just a deception......"
Another person flashed out in the imperial history, this person has big ears and is upright, Xie Hong doesn't recognize it, but Zhengde knows it, it is the old acquaintance of Juyongguan, Wang Xinliang Wang Yushi.
"Your Majesty, as the Son of Heaven, deceives hundreds of officials and travels without permission, which is a deception, and a gentleman does not do it; Yu Juyongguan forcibly ordered him to break through, and ordered Jinyiwei to torture him to extract confessions, and forcibly convicted the scholars, which was brutal; In the name of military parade in Xuanfu, he dressed frivolously, desecrated the imperial flag, and regarded etiquette as nothing, which was for madness! ”
Wang Yushi took two steps, stood beside Su Yushi, and said in a heartbroken voice: "Your Majesty, as a human king, should be an example for all the people, how can you do such a thing that is both cruel and deceitful, and even more arrogant?" After Weichen heard the news, he couldn't sleep all night and was worried. Please put all the people first, and the court and society first, and change your course in the future and do the things of the holy king. ”
Wang Yushi had a very difficult time during this period, and when many colleagues saw him, their eyes were full of contempt and contempt, and they all felt that he was timid and afraid of things, so they let Zhengde go out.
However, the conscience of heaven and earth, Wang Yushi said that except for lifting the coffin on the city wall, everything else is no different from the ancient sages, but the sky does not obey people's wishes, but he was attacked by illness, which is in vain. If he has not achieved great success, and he is ridiculed, how can he not be resentful? Therefore, his grievances are also directly expressed.
At this time, although he was recovering from a serious illness, his spirit was very good, and his words were full of anger, and his momentum was not weaker than that of his colleagues who took the lead. His allusion comes from the Analects, which means this:
Confucius said: "In ancient times, people had three kinds of problems, and now I am afraid that even these three kinds of diseases are not the same as they used to be." The madmen of ancient times were only too ambitious, but the arrogant of today are dissolute; The proud people of old were only unapproachable, but now those who are proud are vicious and arrogant; The foolish people of old were just straightforward, but the fools of today are deceitful! ”
When he said this, he took the ancients as an example, and it was already very polite to say that Zhengde had such and such shortcomings, compared to Su Yushi's sophistry just now, he should be considered blunt.
Of course, if Xie Hong is asked to say, this is simply pointing at the emperor's nose and scolding.
These guys are too violent, right? Xie Hong looked back at Zhengde who was at a loss, and he also began to get anxious, he originally first built momentum, and then taught Zhengde how to sophistry, wanting to use this method to deal with the past, but now the situation is obviously out of control.
Sophistry, Zhengde can't argue with that Su Yushi, that person is extremely thick-skinned, highly educated, and his words are quoted from the classics, not to mention the Zhengde who memorizes the lines, it can't be changed to Xie Hong, who knows what his classics of classical Chinese are talking about? For the first time, Xie Hong hated that his knowledge was too poor.
Rally? Xie Hong's ears are good, although the people are far away, he can still hear the sighs of admiration from the crowd, this praise is obviously not for Zhengde, let alone for Xie Hong himself, but for the two imperial historians. The momentum also failed, and the Confucian righteousness was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, how could he reverse it in just half a month?
Not to mention, now even the pressure may not work, this Wang Yushi is obviously a stunned young man, and he jumped out and started scolding, well, he didn't scold his mother, but the scolding of the scriptures is even more ruthless.
Xie Hong's mind was turning and he was anxious to find countermeasures.
There is a trend called following the trend, and Xie Hong immediately deeply realized the meaning of this sentence.
Wang Xinliang's exhortation, or scolding, was like blowing a trumpet, and the imperial historians followed closely and came out one after another.
Zigong said: "The fault of a gentleman is also like the eclipse of the moon." Yes, everyone sees it; What's more, everyone looks up to it. Weichen is bold, please ask Your Majesty to introspect yourself......"
Zi said that it was over, and another Zigong said, Wang Yushi just said that Zhengde had shortcomings, and this one simply made a direct conclusion, and did not say that there were any shortcomings, anyway, the emperor, you just need to reflect on yourself.
"Zi said: The king makes the ministers courteous, and the ministers are loyal; Youyun: It is not lenient to be on top, it is not respectful for courtesy, and it is not mourning when it is mourned. How can I see it? It was said that His Majesty and the Xuanfu regarded the etiquette as if they were nothing, dressed in strange costumes, and desecrated the honor guard of the Son of Heaven...... If the king is like this, how should the ministers deal with themselves? ”
Xie Hong's head began to hurt, and he said that there will be another cloud after the end, it is really endless, just put on clothes and scribbled a flag, is it so serious? Could it be that the emperor wears casual clothes, and the Ming Dynasty is in danger?
"Zi said: Parents are here, don't travel far, there must be a way to travel, now there is the queen mother, the queen mother is in the court, Your Majesty ......" This is not the end, someone has carried the queen mother out again, that means, the emperor, you ran out to play, have you asked your mother and grandmother if they have ...... The imperial history of the Ming Dynasty really deserves its reputation, this is too nonsense, Xie Hong really wants to ask for Zhengde: This adult, you went out of the city today to meet the holy driver, did you inform your parents, grandparents, and grandparents?
The tide of following the trend is not something that can be stopped by the slander in Xie Hong's heart, there are hundreds of thirteen imperial histories and six officials present, and everyone rushes forward to admonish, as long as they say the last sentence, there will be free gifts to give, and for a while, the scene is extremely hot.
You are a son, I am an ancient, and then there are Zigong and Zilu, these saint disciples also come out from time to time to help, words are like a tide, impeachment is like rain, and the Ming Dynasty officials have to enjoy great fame, but it is not a joke.
Xie Hong's head was as big as a fight when he heard it, and when he turned his head to look, he saw that Zhengde was also blue-faced, and he cast a look of help, obviously very confused by this fatigue bombardment.
But under this kind of momentum, Xie Hong has no way at all, not to mention that it is not his turn to speak, even if he can, he can still try it one-on-one, but now, even if he is asked to bring helpers, plus ten or eight Ma Ang like that, Xie Hong does not feel that he can speak so many people.
can only rely on righteousness, but he is also an emperor, as long as he can survive the mouths of these imperial historians, the difficulties will eventually pass. For Zhengde's eyes asking for help, Xie Hongbao looked at him with encouragement, and in this form, he could only rely on the second brother to support himself.
One person and one sentence, one after another, for half an hour.
Xie Hong and Zhengde said that they were like a year, but the courtiers on the opposite side were not impatient at all, and they didn't think that standing on the avenue and being watched by others would lose their dignity, and they were all half-squinting and enjoying this big show.
The onlookers were not impatient at all, and those who were close turned their heads from time to time to describe the scene to those who were far away. The people of the capital have only heard of this kind of thing in legends, except for the Yongle Emperor, there has been no emperor in the capital in this dynasty before...... Well, Emperor Yingzong doesn't count, when he came back, he didn't even have anyone to greet him, and he was silent, so it was different.
Originally, there was no various ceremonial drum music, which made everyone quite disappointed, but now the repertoire played in the imperial history is not bad. This scene usually takes place in the Jinluan Palace, and the people can only listen to people relay, so how can they ever see the live broadcast? Therefore, everyone is watching it with relish at this time, and watching this is equivalent to going to the Jinluan Palace once, how rare!
"Ministers: Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black; The sound is clear, and the shape is straight. "Half an hour is just a warm-up, after criticizing the emperor, Su Yushi is also a dagger, pointing the finger at the real target.
"Today, there are close ministers Xie Mou, eunuchs Liu Jin, Gu Dayong, etc., slandering the lord and flattering him...... Eunuch and others instigated His Majesty to leave Beijing, and Xie even used strange silver skills to confuse the Holy Hearing, so that there were all kinds of perverse actions of the Xuanfu. ”
Su Yushi solemnly bowed his hand again, bowed to the ground, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty please issue an order to kill a cadre of ministers, and return a bright and bright world." ”
Accusing Zhengde for so long, in fact, it is all foreshadowing, no matter how much he accuses, no Yu Shi dares to say that someone else will be the emperor. Expelling the emperor's close ministers and eunuchs is the real purpose of the imperial historians, so Su Yushi's words are also full of anger, and even the buzzing of the people can't hide half a minute.
His voice was just the beginning, and then, more than 100 people from the thirteen imperial histories and the six departments also echoed in unison: "The ministers ask Your Majesty to issue an order to kill a minister and a bright man." ”
The other courtiers didn't move, if it was a scholar who spoke, then naturally the hundred officials would have to follow suit, but the one who could speak was only a seven-rank imperial history, and the others had to respect their own identities.
Rao is like this, but the momentum of the speech official is already huge enough, and the speech officials did not see Zhengde answering, so they started to play in unison again: "Ministers, please Your Majesty ......"
Looking at the excitement from a distance, the momentum was amazing, as the center of everyone's targeting, Xie Hong's heart was even more swaying, he had never experienced this battle. Seeing this momentum, he knew why since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, scholars and doctors gradually overwhelmed the imperial power, and these officials really can't be provoked.
Xie Hong only saw it once today, if any emperor must confront the courtiers, and the officials do it every day, who can withstand it? Either beat these people to death, or hide from them, is there anything else that can be done?
Xie Hong looked at the others out of the corner of his eye, and found that including the most arrogant Liu Jin, all the people whose names were mentioned or included in the 'wait' were all pale and crumbling, looking like people who were about to die.
The only thing that makes people feel a little comforting is that although Zhengde's face is not good-looking, he purses his lips, but his eyes are still firm, and he obviously does not waver.
"I'm not sure!" Zhengde slapped the armrest heavily, took advantage of the momentum to stand up violently, took two steps forward as if he remembered something, waved his hand dejectedly, and said: "All Aiqing should retreat, I am tired, I want to go back to the palace to rest." ”
Zhengde's reaction was expected by Xie Hong, but the courtiers on the opposite side were in an uproar, and this reaction was unexpected by Xie Hong.
Xie Hong's understanding of Zhengde's emperor's career comes from the materials of later generations, in those materials, Zhengde is a deviant and inexplicable person, so when he was in Xuanfu and Zhengde was messing around, Xie Hong didn't care.
But what he didn't know was that, in fact, whether in the previous life or in the present life, when Zhengde first ascended the throne, he was a very well-behaved emperor. To what extent? That is, in addition to supervising the impeachment of Li Tingguang, Zhengde's reply to all the scribbs is either "from" or "retribution".
Even if someone tells Xie Hong, he may not believe it, but the truth is sometimes more mysterious than fiction, and at the beginning of Zhengde's ascension to the throne, it was such a situation.
