Zhu Houxi took this recital on Zhang Xuan, and he was a little unclear. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He went so far as to demand that Confucius's title be abolished, and that his temple be removed and his status demoted.

Zhu Houxi looked at the courtiers below, all of them lowered their heads, and some of the officials in the back row looked at each other, and just wanted to say something, they lowered their heads thoughtfully.

Xia Yan was also tired, he saw that this incident was not aimed at him, so he also chose to remain silent. And he also sees the situation these days. Zhang Xuan's power is getting bigger and bigger, and there are fewer and fewer ministers who dare to oppose him above the court. When he chose to confront Zhang Zhang, he also saw that there were many ministers in the DPRK who opposed Zhang Zhang's power, so although he had never formed an alliance, he understood that he had a very strong force to support him.

But now it is different, there are very few ministers in the DPRK and China who dare to directly confront Zhang Zhang, and if he rushes out and confronts Zhang Xuan again at this time, it will undoubtedly be a dead end.

Zhang Xuan was very proud, and he finally realized a truth: absolute power can bring absolute obedience. He understood that his piece was not very reasonable, very convincing, and not even very necessary, but no one dared to speak out against it. He vaguely remembered a person, who was leading a deer, and a group of people shouted next to him: Horses...

He still remembers the scene when he first entered Beijing: he remembered that he had won the last rank in the second class after eight consecutive imperial examinations, and he was nearly half a hundred years old at that time. Although he is an insignificant person who entered the court as an official, he is like a speck of dust, so small that no one can notice it.

I remember that when I played the carefully prepared "Great Gift or Question" to Emperor Zhu Houxi, the young emperor Zhu Houxi, who was forced by Yang Tinghe to have no choice, was overjoyed and said: "My father and son have been completed!" "At that time, I finally felt that I was still very valuable.

But the truth is very cruel, Yang Tinghe didn't even look at himself: "What kind of thing is this person, how can he speak about national affairs!" Then he was directly assigned to Nanjing as the head of the Criminal Department, and he could only retire in Nanjing for the rest of his life. At that time, I really realized that it is good to have power, you can do whatever you want, and you can even do it against the emperor!

I remember that after countless struggles, Yang Tinghe finally gave rise to his head. He was recalled to the capital by the emperor's order, but every day a group of ministers chased after him and wanted to kill him directly in Zuoshunmen. At that time, I realized that although power is beautiful, it is not as easy to get as I imagined.

Later, due to the opposition of many ministers, he was never able to enter the cabinet. I remember tossing and turning at that time, he didn't understand why so many people were targeting him, and later he really understood: because of different interests, so the direction is different. And this so-called benefit is the power that everyone desires.

I understood the current situation, and I successfully found someone to support me: Yang Yiqing. With the help of Yang Yiqing, he finally entered the cabinet of his dreams, he didn't expect that with his qualifications, he would be a petty official of four or five grades in the end, and he ended up in the cabinet to worship the prime minister!

I became more and more eager for power and cherished power more and more, but in the end I found that there was another person in front of me: Yang Yiqing, the first assistant of the cabinet! He thought of the kindness of promotion in the past, thought of the friction and quarrels on weekdays, and finally thought of power. I don't want to live a life that is looked down upon by others anymore, I must reach the peak of power, I want to make everyone submit in front of my power, maybe most people are slowly corrupted by power like this.

This day finally came, and he thought of Yang Tinghe that day. Maybe Yang Tinghe at the beginning is just like himself now, Yang Tinghe has always refused to give Zhu Houxi's biological father and mother a name, but no one dares to oppose it, and now it is the same, no one dares to oppose me! Oh, no, at the beginning, there were still people who dared to ignite the flames of war and fight against Yang Tinghe, but now no one dares to oppose themselves!

But this situation was quickly broken by a young Hanlin, his name was Xu Jie. He is just a hairy guy who has just entered the court, although he is a tanhualang in the court, but he is not even qualified to go to the court.

Zhang Xuan patiently read the piece of music against him, which was very reasonable, citing scriptures and classics, and listed eight reasons. Just like my original "Great Gift or Question", from the content to the spirit, it is all similar.

For some reason, Zhang Xuan was very interested, and he suddenly wanted to know what the purpose of this Xu Jie. Maybe it's like the original self, the idea is very simple: Yang Tinghe is obviously unreasonable, although they are very powerful, even if they are weak, they have to fight and fight, they really can't get used to this kind of power suppression!

Maybe his purpose is very complicated: just like his later self, he understands the taste of power, and he has to gamble at any cost, always ruining his future, and he has to work hard for that looming power!

Zhang Xuan summoned Xu Jie in the courtroom, and he wanted to find out what kind of person Xu Jie was and what kind of purpose he had. After a long conversation and debate, Zhang Xuan found that he was a strong person, and his purpose was very simple, just like when he had a simple purpose.

Zhang Xuan understood that he couldn't argue with him, because the truth was not on his side. And he knew that this question was boring, and he was entangled in the issue of a dead man's title, just as boring as Zhu Houxi and Yang Tinghe were arguing about the title of his biological father and mother at the beginning.

"I have heard for a long time that Lord Zhang started from the discussion ceremony, and his words are extraordinary, and today I saw that it was really extraordinary!" Xu Jie sneered and looked at Zhang Xuan, his eyes were full of mockery, this is the disdain of the current Tanhualang for speculators.

Zhang Xuan lost his mind, he couldn't stand this kind of humiliation, he didn't expect that he would be humiliated like this when he was at the peak of power!

"What are you to betray me!" Zhang Xuan shouted loudly, and he suddenly remembered that Yang Tinghe seemed to have said the same thing to himself before, and he was as small as Xu Jie's now. But now that he is in Yang Tinghe's position, he said the same thing. Maybe before we know it, we will all become the kind of people we used to hate so much.

"In my opinion, the so-called betrayal comes from attachment, but I have never attached myself to Your Excellency, so where can betrayal begin?" Xu Jie still had a mocking look in his eyes, without fear, and he slowly walked out of the court room in the surprised eyes of everyone.

Zhang Xuan must not tolerate the existence of such a person, this is a great provocation to himself! He remembered that Yang Tinghe demoted himself to the head of the Nanjing Criminal Department and let him go to Nanjing to "retire", but now, only by executing Xu Jie can he eliminate the hatred in his heart!

After several days of interrogation, Xu Jie was finally convicted because of the letter. It's just that because of the up and down of some fellow villagers, Xu Jie's life was saved in the end.

"Lord Zhang, that Xu Jie was not executed in the end, but was punished to serve in Yanping Mansion in Fujian."

"I know, "initiating heresy proposals", this crime is indeed not a crime that is punishable by death. Zhang Xuan said quietly, "But for a current Tanhualang, who has just taken office, he was assigned to a poor country, this is a good punishment for him." Zhang Xuan smiled a little grimly.

At this time, Xu Jieyu was already crying at home, not only was his future ruined, but his wife also happened to die of illness, leaving only a two-year-old child. And as a guilty body, he can't mourn for his wife!

He didn't understand, he just expressed his thoughts, and it was a correct idea. The officials of the imperial court, who did not read the words of Confucius, were sensible and reasonable, and gained fame. But now that Zhang Xuan has abolished the title of Confucius, no one dares to oppose it. Is this the power of power? Is this the end of integrity?

He couldn't believe it, he didn't want to believe it. He always remembered what his teacher Nie Bao taught him: there is no good and no disgusting body, there are good and malicious movements, knowing good and knowing evil is conscience, and doing evil for good is a thing. Mr. Yang Ming's four proverbs he never forgets, and take them as the foundation of life. But in this world, is good and evil going to be reversed?

"Perhaps, my heart is not wrong, but my method is wrong, and this day, I will remember it deeply." Xu Jie looked at the sky and seemed to understand something.

"Lord Xia, Zhang Xuan has gone too far in this matter, he actually sent Xu Jie to Yanping Mansion, didn't that ruin all his political future?" Peng Yue said angrily, "He just wrote a letter, even if he has different political views, how can he be punished like this?" ”

"Yes, Zhang Xuan has indeed gone too far..."Xia Yan sighed quietly, "But there are not a few people in power who have done this kind of thing..."

"The punishment for Xu Jie is inevitably too heavy, doesn't this ruin the future of others?" Although Peng Yue was a little angry when he said this, he was also reasonable when he thought about Xia Yan's words. Indeed, many in power are extremely ruthless with their political opponents, and even against those who oppose them. And Xu Jie humiliated Zhang Xuan above the court, and Zhang Xuan naturally would not let him go easily.

"By the way, Zirui, you can't call him "Zhang Xuan" in the future, but you should call him "Zhang Fujing"..."Xia Yan smiled a little bitterly, "Today he played to the emperor, saying that his name "Xuan" is the same as the emperor's name, so he asked to avoid it, and the emperor personally gave him this new name "Zhang Fujing"..."

"Huh? How can such a thing happen? Peng Yue muttered, "I didn't expect this Zhang Xuan to become so smart, and while he was tough, he also knew how to show weakness to His Majesty and do this kind of thing to please Your Majesty." Wouldn't that be more difficult to deal with? ”

"That's not necessarily the case..."Xia Yan's expression was slightly relaxed, "Although he can take the initiative to avoid this kind of thing, judging from the fact that he punished Xu Jie." He couldn't control his mind anymore. In this way, it doesn't have to be difficult to deal with him..."

"What do you mean by that?" Peng Yue couldn't help but be a little puzzled, "Didn't the adults just now say that there are not a few people in power who do this kind of thing?" ”

"Although many people in power will make this mistake, but if you think about it carefully, do those who make this mistake have a good death?" Xia Yan sneered, his eyes full of contempt.

"Isn't it possible that everyone in power can't escape this vicious circle?" Peng Yue smiled helplessly, he had to admit that Xia Yan's words were very right, because many people in power in history would make this kind of mistake, and basically no one got a good death, even if he was lucky enough to get a good death, their descendants would have to return it with interest.

"Most people can't escape..."Xia Yan sighed faintly, "The authorities are confused, the bystanders are clear, you feel that it is very simple, he is in it, he will not be able to see through it, and he will not be able to see through it." He will believe in himself too much, exalt himself too much, knowing that one day he will get a ruined end..."

"If you want to take it, you must give it first, is that the truth?" Peng Yue didn't know why, and suddenly thought of this sentence.

"Yes, you're so right!" Xia Yan excitedly pointed at Peng Yue and said, "Don't look at him for a while, this is the beginning of his destruction!" ”

"Actually, I don't think Zhang Fujing has been rampant for long..."Peng Yue is now guided by Xia Yan and gradually sees it clearly, "A few days ago, the servant of the Ministry of Officials was our top boss, Lord Xu Jinxu... Favoritism and bribery, although it is not glorious, but that kind of money is basically the unspoken rule of officialdom, but Zhang Fujing and Master Zhang want to denounce it. Lord Xu privately submitted a letter to bribe Zhang Fujing, but Zhang Fujing still poked out this matter, and finally deposed Lord Xu to the people, this matter is a shock to the government and the opposition..."

"Zhang Fujing thought that he was very pleasing to the emperor, but the emperor knew the contradiction between him and Lord Xu, and as a result, the emperor was even more jealous of him, and felt that he was using his power to exclude dissidents..."Xia Yan stroked his beautiful beard and said, "And Lord Xu treats us well, Zhang Fujing is like this, but he offended the ministry, and many officials in the ministry's back poked him in the backbone of Lord Zhang..."

"And Lord Xu was punished for this, and many ministers were also trembling, afraid that this kind of thing would fall on their heads one day, after all, the kind of money that Lord Xu collected, many ministers have received... In this way, Zhang Fujing was not pleasing to both ends, offending the minister and annoying the emperor. Peng Yue felt that now he and Xia Yan were learning more and more scheming.

"So what we have to do now is to wait calmly, waiting for him to show his feet..."Xia Yan looked leisurely.

"Lord Xia, there's something I want to tell you..."Peng Yue was also a little hesitant and didn't know whether to say it or not.

"Huh? What's up? Xia Yan looked at Peng Yue, "Don't talk about it, do you have any scruples about speaking to me?" ”

"Lord Xia said that he laughed..."Peng Yue squeezed out a smile in embarrassment.

"The deposed Xu Jie, in fact, is a capable minister, if Lord Xia has the opportunity in the future, I hope to promote him more..."

"Well, I'll pay attention..."Xia Yan smiled lightly, "This person has a proud backbone, although he is not very good at being an official, and he does not know how to judge the situation very well, but the court cannot lack such an upright minister!" ”

When Peng Yue heard this, he almost burst out laughing: "Xu Jie, who can't be an official, can't judge the situation?" Of course, Peng Yue still hid these two sentences in his heart.

In fact, the current Xu Jie really can't be an official, and he won't judge the situation, thinking about Xu Jie in the future, Peng Yue can't help but feel a little speechless, can the environment really change a person completely?
