220 Catch the knife
There is no risk, where is the benefit?
Zhang Yang thinks deeply of this sentence!
After experiencing the pain of prison, he finally survived to be rescued from the cage by Wei Shui, and he understood that only enough power could give him the life he really wanted. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info And to gain power, he cannot lose himself. At least before finding the next backer, you must not offend Wei Shui, otherwise, there will be endless troubles.
"Second master, what do you think students should do? Write to support Your Majesty? But how to write this letter? Zhang Yang's question made Wei Shui stunned, he didn't expect that Zhang Yang would even push the chapter to him.
It's just that this way of subduing softness and showing weakness is indeed what Wei Shui wants. If possible, he is also willing to mix with Zhang Yang's recital.
"The biggest contradiction between Your Majesty and the cabinet is whether to succeed to the throne or to succeed to the heir. And these two points are inseparable from the word 'filial piety', the dynasty rules the world with filial piety, if the emperor can't respect his biological parents, how can he talk about 'filial piety to rule the world'? Etiquette is nothing more than human affection, and if you don't even talk about human affection, where does the word etiquette come from? ”
Zhang Yang nodded and said: "That's true, if Your Majesty is difficult to give a full courtesy, what face will you face to the people of the world?" However, the affairs of King Dingtao of the Han Dynasty and King Pu of the Song Dynasty mentioned by the cabinet ......"
"That's nonsense!" Wei Shui immediately set the tone, and for this matter, he also deliberately checked a lot of books. It turned out that this was the fact that several ministers of the cabinet joined together to confuse the public and play with the emperor! He said, "Whether it is Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty or Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, they are the first princes, and Emperor Wai and Emperor Yingzong were already the stepsons of Emperor Cheng and Renzong before they ascended the throne. But how can Your Majesty be the same? During the reign of Xiaozong, he did not accept His Majesty as his stepson. During the reign of the first emperor, there was no prince. Your Majesty is elected by the ministers, and the wheel order should be established! Only then was he made the emperor and inherited the unification. To put it bluntly, it is the inheritance of the Ming Dynasty, not the heir of filial piety. ”
"I see!" Zhang Yang was pleasantly surprised, "I always felt that something was wrong, but I never understood the essentials. What the second master said made me suddenly! However, with this evidence alone, what if the cabinet comes up with any other evidence? The old cabinet members are used to dropping their book bags. ”
"What's so hard about that?" Wei Shui had already thought about this matter thoroughly, and he had already made a plan in his chest, and after listening to the question, he immediately replied to Zhang Yang and said, "Mao Gong, the examples they gave are nothing more than the words of some saints. What is a saint? I am the first to recommend Confucianism and Taoism. Among Confucianism and Taoism, Cheng Zhu's learning is respected. From the old courtiers to the students, all of them are studied. Didn't they lift up the saints? Saints are not just their saints, we can also raise them! You are also full of poetry and books, you should know that Cheng Yi once said that as the eldest son, you must not pass on to others as sons. If the eldest son who inherited his grandfather is cut off, and the eldest son who should inherit has no brothers, then he should inherit from his grandfather and does not need to inherit the severed one. You should be familiar with this sentence, right? ”
Of course, no strangers! Zhang Yang is also full of poetry and books, and he remembered it after mentioning it a little. After thinking about it carefully, I realized that the saint really said that!
"Second master, what you said is too reasonable." Zhang Yang complimented, then followed Wei Shui's words and said, "Your Majesty is the only son of King Xingxian, which is exactly the same as what Cheng Yi said!" Then, what His Majesty needs to inherit is the great unification of Emperor Xianzong, not the lineage of Emperor Xiaozong. Take 10,000 steps back and say, if it is not Your Majesty who inherits the unification, but King Xingxian, then is it difficult to prevent Xiaozong from being cut off, and even King Xingxian will be succeeded to him? Or is it to pass the crown prince to Xiaozong as the heir? It's just out of love, it doesn't make sense! ”
"That's right." Wei Shui nodded and said, "Just like you said, if King Xingxian is alive, it will be too embarrassing to encounter such a thing." What's more, don't talk about the king of Xingxian, just say that His Majesty's biological mother is still alive and well. Why does someone's biological mother have to be called the emperor's uncle? What etiquette should be used when the mother and son meet in the future? Isn't it possible to ask someone's biological mother to bow to His Majesty with courtesy? Isn't this to be the laughing stock of future generations? Even the people will sing songs to satirize the present! ”
Zhang Yang listened and nodded frequently, not without surprise in his heart.
Is there so many holes in the cabinet? Why didn't the other courtiers find out? Or do you find out and don't want to say it? If it is the former, then Wei Shui's judgment and ability to grasp problems are also too strong. But if it's the latter......
Zhang Yang couldn't help but worry about his future again.
As a courtier, it is taboo to be a lonely minister! Since ancient times, lonely ministers have never ended well. Only by standing with other colleagues and forming a group can it be possible to go further and further in the officialdom.
It's a pity that the source of his regain of his official position is doomed, and he has been branded as an emperor from the beginning. If you want to continue to be promoted and get rid of the identity of watching politics, you must be this early bird. Otherwise, he may never have come to light.
What a contradiction! Zhang Yang bit his lip, and his heart rippled slightly.
Wei Shui was of course aware of Zhang Yang's thoughts, but he didn't want to care about him. Want to break free from Lao Tzu's shackles? Next life. However, as compensation, he will definitely make Zhang Yang a little more comfortable.
Wei Shui said: "The last piece of evidence is also the most important point. In the edict of the former emperor, it is clear that His Majesty is called 'Hou Xi, the eldest son of the Emperor Xingxian Wang'. Regardless of whether the edict was written by the emperor or not, the meaning of this is already clear. The first emperor said that the eldest son of King Xingxian, which shows that His Majesty inherited the great unity of the ancestors, and has no substantive relationship with Xiaozong. Use this to make sure you write a beautiful essay. Think about it well, string these together, and try to let the courtiers know what you mean, and at the same time, let Your Majesty thank you for your loyalty, you know? Otherwise, if you offend the courtiers and make Your Majesty dissatisfied, your situation will not be very good at that time. ”
Zhang Yang showed enough gratitude, and after thanking Wei Shui for his kindness, he seemed to be reluctant to leave.
Just after Zhang Yang left, Mo Da quietly appeared in front of Wei Shui.
"Second master, do you want to follow him?" Mo Da asked.
Wei Shui shook his head lightly and said, "No, he is a person who wants to climb up, so he won't be so stupid as to refuse the road I paved for him." ”
