Chapter 256 The History of Yan Song (2)
Li Cangxing said while cleaning up the teacup on the table: "I'm ashamed, when I was a child, I learned a little bit of the Four Books and Five Classics with my master, and then I grew older, and the task of learning martial arts became heavier, so I didn't have time to read more, and it could only be regarded as a rough text, but I still heard the allusions of Qing's father not dying, and I still heard the allusions of recklessness, and I used it on the old thief just now." ”
Li Cangxing suddenly thought of Yan Song again, and simply took this opportunity to ask Qian Guanglai about the affairs of the court today: "What is the origin of this old thief, and what trick can the emperor trust him like this?" ”
Qian Guanglai nodded: "It's a long story, do you know how the Holy Lord sat on the throne today?" ”
Li Cangxing told all the things he knew about the current Jiajing Emperor: "I have heard a little, it seems that Emperor Zhengde died young and left no heirs. ”
Qian Guanglai smiled slightly: "That's right, you said that after the current saint ascends the throne, how should he call his biological parents?" ”
Li Cangxing replied without thinking: "Of course, I call my parents my father." ”
Qian Guanglai shook his head, and his eyes narrowed slightly: "Wrong, although the current emperor inherited the throne as the emperor's younger brother when he ascended the throne, the cabinet ministers, headed by Yang Tinghe, insisted on using the ancestral calendar, and asked the current saint to call his biological father uncle and his biological mother uncle." It is necessary to respect the biological father of Emperor Zhengde, Emperor Hongzhi as his biological father, and Empress Zhang of Emperor Hongzhi as his biological mother. ”
Li Cangxing smiled dumbly and said: "How can there be such a truth in the world, if you become an emperor, you won't recognize your own Lao Tzu Niang, is that still a human being?" These courtiers' books have been read in the dog's belly? ”
Qian Guanglai took another sip of tea: "It's really unkind, but this is the so-called royal ancestral system." The legitimacy of the throne is at stake. If you don't recognize your father again, it means that the purest emperor's bloodline is broken. ”
Li Cangxing didn't think about this kind of problem, and shook his head: "It's really troublesome, what about later?" ”
Qian Guanglai said with a smile: "Today's saint has been fighting with the old ministers of the previous dynasty for several years for this matter, and finally there are a few undesirable officials in Nanjing who patted the emperor's sycophants, and wrote a letter to the emperor to find a theoretical basis for recognizing his father, and finally the emperor's father and mother are also counted as the former emperor, and this matter is over." ”
Li Cangxing nodded at first, and then suddenly felt that what he had said for a long time had nothing to do with Yan Song, so he asked, "What does that have to do with Yan Song?" ”
Qian Guanglai said: "The emperor has been sitting on the throne for more than ten years. He wanted to get his father's tablet into the Taimiao, Yan Song was a scholar of the Ministry of Rites at that time, and he was in charge of this matter, and he was ready to oppose it according to the ancestral system at the beginning, and scolded the emperor. immediately rewrote the song and supported it very strongly, and this sycophant made the emperor very happy. His Lao Tzu's tablet also entered the Taimiao. From then on, as soon as the emperor was happy, he let Yan Song enter the cabinet. ”
Li Cangxing understood now, and said disdainfully: "As long as you help the emperor's Laozi tablet enter that Taimiao, you can enter the cabinet and become the prime minister?" It's too easy, although I don't know much about government politics, but I also know what kind of scholar I will be called a scholar when I enter the cabinet, which is equivalent to the prime minister. Right. ”
Qian Guanglai blinked: "Yes, in order to prevent the prime minister's dictatorship, I will not set up a prime minister, and divide the power into six departments." However, if there is no general manager, it will cause the six ministries to pass the buck to each other, so a cabinet was later set up, which is equivalent to the power of the prime minister. Those who have entered the cabinet are the real masters of my Ming Dynasty, and it is not an exaggeration to call them prime ministers. ”
Li Cangxing nodded: "I see, Lord Xia Yanxia is the first assistant today." The gang leader seems to have said that his relationship with Shaolin is not ordinary. ”
Qian Guanglai said "um" and said: "Yes, Lord Xia is the first assistant today, and Yan Song is the second assistant, but the emperor's throne was controversial back then, so he advocates Taoism and often likes to write green words to burn for the gods in the heavens." Lord Xia didn't like to mess around with the emperor in this matter, and Yan Song was very deferential every time he wrote green words and burned green words, and even wore a veil every time he burned green words, pretending to be pious and sacred. ”
"In addition, Lord Xia is upright, often asks for life for the people, and says things that the emperor doesn't like to hear, and Yan Song slaps his horse every day, saying that the holy virtue of the Son of Heaven is the world, and it is peaceful, these emperors love to listen, and after a long time, the emperor likes Yan Song more."
"The emperor should benefit the people in his own position, he doesn't do the right thing all day long, rejects loyalty and goodness, and reuses traitorous ministers, what is this like, if it's not good, it's better to change someone." Li Cangxing thought of Lu Bing's plan to provoke the battle between the rivers and lakes, which was also the emperor's will from the root, and he was furious for a while, and said hatefully.
Qian Guanglai hurriedly signaled Li Cangxing to silence: "Brother, don't say more about this kind of rebellious words, you will lose your head when you hear it." ”
Li Cangxing also felt that what he said just now was too much, and shook his head: "I'm too impulsive, hey, I don't know when I can change this problem." ”
Qian Guanglai smiled: "My master likes your straightforward personality, haha." Having said that, Yan Song and Lord Xia Yan are now in a situation, Lord Xia supports Shaolin, Yan Song hooks up with the Demon Sect through Guò Dongchang, and the emperor is also happy to see these two pinching each other, so that the ministers can't hug each other, everything needs to be consulted and relied on him, and his throne will be stable. ”
"Fuck it, this bitch...... Forget it, I didn't say anything. Li Cangxing was extremely angry, and he was about to scold, but he suddenly remembered what he had just said, but he still closed his mouth and drank a glass of water angrily.
Qian Guanglai sighed: "Today's emperor is like this, he only wants his throne to be stable, and then he wants to live forever, ignoring the government all day long, only asking Xiuxian to ask, relying on Lu Bing and Jin Bu to monitor the courtiers, and let Xia Yan and Yan Song fight each other to maintain balance." This has made the people's livelihood difficult, but his position is becoming more and more secure. Haven't you heard that ballad: Jiajing Jiajing, every family is exhausted! ”
Li Cangxing didn't want to listen to these dirty government affairs anymore, so he felt panicked in his heart, so he changed the topic: "Forget it, don't talk about him, the more you talk about it, the more you will block your heart." What do we do now? ”
Qian Guanglai thought for a while and said, "Let's wait for the master to come, we can't help Dongting over there." By the way, there is one more thing to tell you, did you see the willow smoke in Emei today? ”
Li Cangxing hooked the corners of his mouth: "Yes, I went up to the second floor of the Wang family's teahouse to watch the excitement, instead of following her directly, just because I didn't want to get too close to her, this girl has a smart nose, I'm afraid that she will smell her body and recognize me." ”
Qian Guanglai nodded: "I heard that she went to the Shennong Gang outside the Guan, the last time Emei fought with the Wushan faction, although there were not many dead, but there were a lot of injuries, the Shennong Gang has always been famous for making all kinds of elixir wound medicine, plus the Fu Demon League has also invited them before, this time you can ask for a reply, and get some wound medicine back by the way." ”
Li Cangxing breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "I see, the battle between good and evil will not get out of the gate, and it should be safe for her to go." ”
Qian Guanglai stood up and said: "We talked a lot today, and I was busy for half a day during the day, so rest early, your brother went to the teahouse all morning, but I rushed back overnight, and even my four wives didn't make love well, so I ran to find you." ”
Li Cangxing also stood up: "Haha, I just had a good chat with Brother Qian, I didn't think of this layer, so let's see you later." I will find you to learn martial arts tomorrow morning, if you don't practice with me for more than half a month, I will be bored alone. ”
Li Cangxing didn't sleep well this night, his mind was full of Lan Daoxing who met during the day, judging from his method of knocking down more than 20 people in the dust, it was clear that he was folding plum hands with Huangshan all the way, this martial art is unique in Sanqingguan, and in the teaching of Huangshan, in addition to himself, only Yun Yazi will make this martial art.
When I was in Sanqingguan, I also knew that hundreds of years ago, the branches of the Quanzhen Sect became independent, such as the Huashan School founded by Hao Datong and the Quanzhen Sect no longer had the slightest relationship with the Quanzhen Sect, and the Quanzhen Sect has been in a state of decline since it was renamed Sanqingguan, and I have not heard that there are branches in other places.
