Chapter 630: The Controversy
Sister Yuan trembled and stretched out the piece of music. I saw that the above used his own tone, as the president of "Xingdu Zhi", to impeach Vice President Zhang Juzheng for his bad attitude and contempt for errands. also uses some obscure language to satirize the past and the present. expressed his dissatisfaction with the emperor's excessive promotion of his biological father and mother, but his dissatisfaction with the Empress Dowager Zhang's too contempt
Of course, a good false accusation letter must not be fictional, and it must be combined with three points of truth in order to make the seven points of falsehood true. Yan Shifan has obviously been eyeing Zhang Juzheng for a long time, and found a flaw in an article he wrote that praised virtue
The main purpose of this article is to praise the benevolence and filial piety of Emperor Jiajing, and to argue that any filial son will make the same choice when encountering such a situation, and the emperor is no exception. It is said that it is deeply comforting to the emperor's heart, and Jiajing was so happy that he couldn't help himself when he saw it.
But Yan Shifan still found it in the attack, and when he was arguing, he cited the example of Yingzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, and also mentioned "Pu Yi, two words."
Song Yingzong's name is Zhao Shu, and his original name is Zongshi. He is the grandson of Zhao Yuanfen, the younger brother of Song Zhenzong
Zhenzong was the third emperor of the Song Dynasty, and his successor was Renzong, also known as Zhao Shu's cousin. It is said that Zhao Shu, the son of the sect, had no chance to be on the throne, but Renzong had no son, so the throne fell to him, how similar is his fate to Jiajing?
And the character of these two cheap emperors. There are also several similar, very intelligent, and extremely stubborn, for the same thing to have a violent conflict with the minister, that is, almost paranoid observance of filial piety, soon after ascending the throne, each staged a shocking government and opposition, protracted posthumous farce of the birth father's name.
The Jiajing Dynasty's non-trivial theory, the vigorous "Great Rites Discussion" is destined to go down in history, and Yingzong Zhao Shu is not to be outdone, "The dispute over the Pu Discussion lasted for a lifetime, and it has been written into the history books."
After the death of Renzong, Yingzong ascended the throne, and the court began to discuss the title of Yingzong's biological father King Pu, when Renzong had passed away for fourteen months, but Yingzong gave instructions, and waited for Renzong Daxiang to discuss again, that is, to stay until twenty-four, and then talk about it, this is not to show respect for Renzong, but Yingzong's delaying tactics in order to reduce the resistance when chasing the seal.
At that time, the two systems headed by Wang Wa believed that Yingzong inherited the throne of Renzong and should call his biological father King Pu the emperor's uncle, and the deacons led by Han Yi and Ouyang Xiu catered to the will of the emperor and thought that Yingzong should call him the imperial examination, and they also asked Yingzong to submit the two plans to the hundred officials for discussion.
At that time, Yingzong and his prime ministers thought that there would definitely be people who would cater to their ideas, but who knew that the situation was the opposite, and the hundred officials reacted extremely strongly to this, and most of them agreed with the proposal of the officials of the two systems. But Yingzong has been planning for a long time, how can he change his course? I wanted to exert pressure to make the officials change their opinions. But because the Song Dynasty did not have a court staff, and the emperor could not kill the scholars, Yingzong felt very difficult and under great pressure.
At this time, Emperor Renzong's original wife, Empress Dowager Cao, heard the news and personally drafted an edict, severely criticizing Han Yan, Ouyang Xiu and others, thinking that Yingzong could ascend the throne, because he passed to Renzong's adopted son, and could no longer call King Pu Gu, and the so-called imperial examination was impossible to talk about, and the coffin was conclusive all at once.
Yingzong's road to recognizing his father seems to be hopeless.
Seeing that the development of the situation was unfavorable to him, Yingzong did not postpone the discussion of the matter, but he did not give up. On the contrary, after so long arguing, he has come to realize that to achieve victory. Only by striving for the Queen Mother to change her attitude and draw salary from the bottom of the kettle can she deal a fatal blow to the two systems and hundreds of officials! In the end, he made an unbelievable move, he asked Ouyang Xiu to write it in advance, "It is agreed that King Pu will be called the imperial examination, and the edict is hidden on his body." Then he invited the Empress Dowager Cao to dinner, and cried bitterly during the banquet, saying that he had realized his mistake and was willing to change his past mistakes and no longer force anything.
Although Empress Dowager Cao has a very bad relationship with Yingzong. But after listening to Yingzong's sincere words, thinking that he would have to rely on him in the future, Empress Dowager Cao's attitude softened, and she was drunk by Yingzong in a series of good words, cup after cup, and then took out the edict. Coaxed the Empress Dowager Cao to sign it in a daze.
The next day, the Queen Mother woke up and knew the edict, but it was too late to regret it, because Yingzong had already told the world that King Pu Anyi was a prince. To take the garden as the garden, that is, to build a temple in the garden, that is, to give the emperor the honor.
However, this decision was resolutely resisted by the courtiers, and all the Taiwanese officials, including Sima Guang, asked for their own debasement, and even the staff members at the Pu Mansion stood up against the act of proclaiming relatives, which Yingzong never expected.
In the face of this unexpected situation, Yingzong could no longer bear it, he issued an edict to stop the discussion, and demoted Lu Zhi and other three imperial historians from the capital to show his determination, and at the same time won over Wang Jia, the main figure of the opposition, and promised to take the position of government, and finally used both soft and hard. It took more than three years to win the posthumous status for his biological father, considering that Yingzong had reigned for five years. This time-consuming ratio is higher than that of Emperor Jiajing.
The original intention of using this emperor as an analogy with Jiajing in the article was to prove that Jiajing was not bent on going his own way. But I forgot that this pair of difficult brothers and sisters, and one of the most criticized similarities is that the queen mother who is not his mother is very disrespectful. Of course, Jiajing didn't admit it, but the emperor of the old Zhao family
is more realistic, Zhao Shu once had a natural disaster and fart, and the headline was that he "listened to slander and was disrespectful to Empress Dowager Cao" The eight families admitted it themselves!
Therefore, Yan Shifan said in the impeachment article that Zhang Taiyue used Song Yingzong as an analogy with our emperor in order to express his opinion that the emperor must be disrespectful to the first emperor in order to be filial to his biological parents. was disrespectful to the widow of the first emperor, and naturally stood on the opposite side of the hundred officials.
At the end of the impeachment recital, Yan Shifan took out the ability to frame Zhang Jing back then, and added the finishing touch: "I heard that since ancient times, the officials who have stood inside are all faint monarchs, but our emperor is wise and martial, the four seas are salty, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. οΌ
What is the meaning of word for word? This is called word for word. Sister Yuan looked at it and was sweating profusely. He has been on the side of the king for a long time, and he knows that Jiajing is slow and conceited, and it is very easy to have preconceived ideas, and make some impulsive actions, such as Xia Yan, Zeng Rui, Zhang Jing, Li Tianchong and others back then, all of whom were poisoned because of this. Although Jiajing also pondered it afterwards and felt regretful, Chrysostom was covered with water as soon as it was opened, and he could only make a mistake to the end.
Sister Yuan dared to conclude that once she saw this letter that poked the scales of the Son of Heaven, Jiajing would inevitably be furious, and she would send Zhang Juzheng to prison and torture him without asking questions, believing that as soon as this thing was handed over, Zhang Taiyue would be completely finished.
But who is Zhang Taiyue? Xu Ge Lao's closest descendants, they are afraid of falling off in their hands and holding them in their mouths, even if the battle between the two parties is white hot last year, Xu Ge Lao is even shirtless, and he is not willing to let him go. It is conceivable that if he dares to hand over this recital, Xu Jie will definitely not let himself go, and the two sides were still drinking and talking about each other yesterday, and today they stabbed him viciously, and it is estimated that Xu Jie will hate him to the core.
Sister Yuan remembered the market she had seen. When gangsters want to completely subordinate the two-faced, they often force him to do something that completely offends the other party, so that the two-faced person cannot be left and right, and can only choose to agree or not to agree, and agree. to break with the other side completely; No, I didn't. The end is often buried by gangsters.
He felt that the only difference between Yan Shifan and the gang leader was that he would not dig and bury himself, at most he would be ruined......
"Yan Shifan didn't attack Xu Ge Lao, but took his protΓ©gΓ© under the knife" Yuan Sister said to herself: "This is not for fighting at all, it is purely for me to break with Xu Ge Lao, and then go with him with all my heart." Thinking of this, his face was a little hideous, and he secretly gritted his teeth and said, "But in this way." I have no chance of reconciling with Xu Ge Lao" At this time, his wine was all awake, and his mind was clear: "Looking at the current form, the Yan Party has become a thing of the past, and the position of the first assistant of the cabinet will still be Xu Jie's sooner or later." Why did I make Xu Ge Lao's sin miserable in order to please you? .
Yan Shifan didn't know that his domineering had once again offended people miserably, who Sister Yuan was, the emperor's favorite minister and King Jing's teacher. The Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, the red man who is red and purple from the inside out, and the rising giant, of course, the last one is purely Sister Yuan's self-feeling.
When she saw Yan Shifan, Sister Yuan panicked because she said the wrong thing, and she had been used to it for a long time, so she couldn't help but kneel, but when she knelt and knelt, she felt that it was not a taste Sister Yuan couldn't help but remember that earlier, the second assistant of the dignified cabinet had drunk with her, and treated herself very seriously. He Yan Shifan is a fox and a fake tiger thing. But he treated Zimao like a slave and a servant, insulted him at will, and didn't treat himself as a human being at all. Why did you want to offend Xu Ge Lao for Yan Shifan?
This is not a good deal, it is really not a good deal. Thinking like this, Sister Yuan made a decision not to listen to Yan Shifan and not help him frame others.
But in this way, Yan Shifan will definitely not let himself go, and he is stunned to think of a way to protect himself. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, went around in a circle, and turned back again.
Early the next morning, I endured the swelling of my brain. He ordered someone to prepare a sedan chair and went to the cabinet, came to the Wuyi Palace, and saw Xu Ge Lao, who had already begun to be busy.
Hearing that Sister Yuan was coming, Xu Jie seemed to be a little surprised, raised his head from the calf, took off his reading glasses and said with a smile: "I see that I am young, I am angry, are you okay?" As he spoke, he got up and made him a cup of tea from the donkey.
Sister Yuan was slightly moved in her heart, and said secretly, "The people who are also staying in the pavilion, why is the gap so big?" It seems that the real pavilion elder and the fake pavilion elder are just different," and said softly: "Enxiang students have a love report, I don't know."
"Let's write it down." Xu Jie said softly: "There are ears on the wall here. β
Sister Yuan nodded, walked to the side of the big case, picked up the pen, and dipped the ink in the inkstone, intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the half-written chapter on the table, and vaguely saw a line of words: "Ministry of Etiquette, courteous and cautious, the instrument can be of great use, please accept it into the cabinet." He must be able to share the sorrow of the Lord, although he has no beginning or end and does not understand, but his heart is pounding, and he cries secretly; "Could it be that you recommended me to join the cabinet? It seems so, it must be! , the heart said that it seems that nothing in the officialdom can compare to "teachers and students, ah! Only teachers are the least vindictive with students!
He didn't see Xu Jie behind him, the mysterious smile on the corner of his mouth.
Taking a deep breath, Sister Yuan brushed and wrote on the paper
Under "Ding." He also put the letter of false accusation of the strict world curtain on the side. Back to it. Please see Xu Jie's remorse. β
Xu Jie nodded and stepped forward. Look at the note that reads, "The East Building will fall, and Taiyue is in danger!" Can't bear to kill each other, come to repay the kindness! , Seeing that it was about Zhang Juzheng, Xu Jie's face sank, picked up the piece and flipped through it, the more he looked at it, the whiter his face became, and after reading it, he said with a sallow face: "This, has it already been played?" Sister Yuan shook her head and lowered her voice and said: "It shouldn't be yet, what they mean is to let me take the lead, but if I don't want to go to the book, they won't wait too long."
Xu Jie nodded slowly, sat on the chair, gently leaned on the desk and said, "You are very good, the old man is very pleased" said and pushed the unfinished piece in front of him and said: "It's not in vain that the old man will treat you." β
Although he had already guessed it, as soon as the victim confirmed it, Yuan Fu was still excited, and said in a frosty voice: "Students, you will live up to the teacher's cultivation." β
Xu Jie nodded and said softly: "Please press it first, let the old man think of a way, be sure to resist it." After a pause, he felt that he should explain, and then said: "They are Xiang Zhuang sword dance, intended to Pei Gong, obviously attacking Zhang Taiyue, but secretly pointing to the old man" Once Zhang Juzheng is convicted, then he is this. A close teacher, at least, is also one. "Poor teaching, the crime. How do I become a university scholar again?
Sister Yuan nodded and said, "It is precisely because of the comfort of the teacher that the students do not hesitate to tear their faces with them and come over in broad daylight." β
"Good, good." Xu Jie's jaw head said again and again: "It's just that you have to protect yourself." β
"Thank you for your concern," Sister Yuan said with sorrow on her face: "The students are also second-grade scholars, but they don't dare to plot against me." I'm just afraid that the speaker will find fault with me" said with a wry smile: "You know, students who used to be informal, and when they encounter a group attack by speech officials, they will definitely not be able to parry." β
"You don't have to worry about that." Xu Jie's eyebrows were raised, and he rarely showed a bit of heroism and said: "They have officials, don't we have them?" The soldiers will block the water and come to the earth, in short, the old man will not let you have anything to do. β
"Thank you for being so thoughtful." Only then did Sister Yuan put her heart back in her stomach, bowed deeply, and left Xu Jie's room.
After Sister Yuan left, Xu Jie ordered: "Invite Shen Sacrifice Wine." Outside, he whispered, and he fell into deep thought.
I don't know how long it took, the silence arrived, it was already noon, Xu Jie put down the work at hand, put the letter and note into his sleeve, got up and said, "Let's go, let's go out to eat, I don't have a stomach for the cabinet." Shen Mo nodded and said with a smile: "Students can't eat if they want to." β
Xu Jie looked at him and said with a smile: "How old are you?" Sooner or later, there will be a day when you get tired of eating. Smiled silently, followed him out of the West Garden, and picked up a remote restaurant in an alley across Chang'an Street, asking for a quiet private room. Serve a few delicate side dishes.
After the screen pushed the attendants, Xu Jie took out the two things from his sleeve and showed them to Shen Mo.
After looking at it silently, his face sank, and he asked softly, "Does Taiyue know?" β
"No, it won't help to tell him, it's just a mess." The corners of Xu Jie's mouth flashed with a wry smile: "This is really a tree that wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop." β
Shen Mo nodded, and said in a deep voice: "The ancients, eliminate the evil!" That's true! Said coldly: "Yan Shifan doesn't die for a day, and the Yan Party doesn't fall for a day, and their harmful intentions will never stop!" You can't get them back to their senses! "He is really angry, now that the court situation is very clear, metabolism is inevitable, if the father and son of the Yan family know each other, they should pick up their tails and be people. It is good to take care of the children and grandchildren, so as not to be ruined.
"Yes, their desire for power is not dead!" Xu Jie nodded and said: "Yan Ge moved back to Wuyi Hall after his wife's first seventh, served by the emperor's side during the day, slept in his courtyard at night, and never returned home for two months" said with a self-deprecating smile: "I originally thought that his wife was dead, and he should be disheartened." Who knew that "the sick tree is in front of the ten thousand trees in spring." β
"Hmm." Shen Mo also nodded and said: "Yan Shifan, it is said that he will not return to his hometown to worry, he is already a big disapproval, and he is not even staying at home honestly, jumping up and down everywhere, fanning the yin wind and lighting ghost fires, lest the world be chaotic, and the hundred officials in the capital have been looking sideways for a long time!" Saying that, he hugged his fists and said, "Teacher, you should make up your mind this time, right?" β
"Hmm!" Xu Jie nodded solemnly and said, "If I hadn't made up my mind, I wouldn't have come to you in broad daylight!" β
"Okay, this time we must finish off this father and son!" Shen Mo said excitedly: "Otherwise, it will always be ghostly, making people uncomfortable all day long." β
"Haha" Xu Jie smiled: "Humble words, will the plan be released?" β
"Teacher, please come here." Shen Mo said softly.
