Chapter VII: Safeguarding the Imperial Unity
Lu Bing listened to Yuan Zonggao's words and nodded, these words were of great educational significance to him, Lu Bing returned to the palace and relayed it to Zhu Houyu word for word, Zhu Houyu heard his heart, and immediately passed Yang Tinghe into the palace. Lu Bing left with interest, and it was inevitable that Zhu Houxi, who was guarding others with such a grandson, would not be able to pull it down, so it was better to leave as soon as possible.
I thought that the matter would end like this, but how could I have thought that the next day it was noon Zhu Houxi and announced that Lu Bing would enter the palace again, and they would have dinner together, but in fact, things had changed again. Sure enough, Zhu Houxi confessed according to Yuan Zonggao's intentions, and invited Yang Tinghe to the palace to talk about it, but Yang Tinghe still didn't buy it.
No, Yang Tinghe also gave an example in the early dynasty today, and there were two examples, one was the son of Emperor Cheng of the Western Han Dynasty who succeeded the emperor's disciple, and later Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty. The second example is the Song Dynasty, where Song Renzong succeeded his cousin King Pu as the crown prince, and this prince was later Song Yingzong. Both of them recognized the former emperor as the imperial examination, and the descendants did not feel that there was anything wrong, which is the experience and tradition of the ancestors, which is worthy of praise. Yang Tinghe also mentioned that Song Yingzong's biological father King Pu was named the king of the emperor's uncle Pu Guo in the future because of Cheng Yi's suggestion, which is the same as the imperial uncle examination who gave Zhu Houxi's biological father Xingxian the title of the king, and also hinted that he would give King Xingxian a more resounding name in the future to comfort his spirit in the sky.
At the end, Yang Tinghe made a summary of the words, which was in an uproar in the court, but after a short period of surprise, they all agreed, which completely shocked Zhu Houxi but also angered him, this sentence is: "If there are dissenters, they are both treacherous and evil, and they should be beheaded!" Zhu Houyu is still very angry when he retells it to Lu Bing now, this sentence obviously doesn't take Zhu Houyu in his eyes, not to mention that even if he wants to stand next to the new emperor and support him, he doesn't dare to do anything, this is a direct deed.
"You said that he guarded my face and said that he cut this and that, in the end I am the emperor or he is the emperor, it is really too deceitful!" Zhu Houxi said.
"Then how did Your Majesty answer?" Lu Bing asked after listening to Zhu Houxi's chatter.
Zhu Houxi glared: "I pointed at him at the time, and then pointed at myself and said, I don't agree, I am a traitor, I should be beheaded, you come to me." ”
Lu Bing and Lu laughed, and Zhu Houxi gasped angrily for a few breaths and then laughed along: "I can be regarded as angry, and when they reached the end, they knelt on the ground, and it was Shanhu Long live I hope I think twice, I didn't say anything and turned around and left." ”
Lu Bing said in a low voice twice, thinking about what Zhu Houxi said, he felt funny, he slapped the table and said let the courtiers come and kill him, who would dare to do this. After the music was over, Lu Bing pondered for a while and said: "Originally, we thought that the purpose of letting you go to Dong'anmen to enter the Wenhua Hall was to let you take Zhu Houzhao as a son, and it was a deliberate insult to you, but the result was that we wanted to be dirty, it seems that we asked you to be a son of Emperor Xiaozong." ”
"It's not okay to be a son to anyone, how can there be such a thing, the grace of birth and raising cannot be forgotten, where can I say that whoever my father is is whoever he is, isn't this nonsense?" Zhu Houxi said.
Lu Bingyan said: "That's true, do you need to ask Mr. Yuan about this matter?" ”
"What do you think, aren't you the most creative on weekdays? Why am I the emperor, you don't dare to speak, you are still not mine can not be called Brother Bing, cough cough, then you hurry up and think of a way for me, Mr. Yuan is also an old pedant, I can't learn his methods, and I won't. Zhu Houxi said.
"I think I have to ask Mr. Yuan, I think so, Mr. Yuan is well-informed, after all, he has been mixed in the officialdom for a few years, and his political experience is much richer than ours, but he is bold and young, and he doesn't dare to let go of it, and his low official position and no contact with the political game at the upper level are Mr. Yuan's shortcomings. We can listen to some of Mr. Yuan's suggestions, I'll go back and ask, if he agrees with Yang Tinghe's idea, then I won't report to you. If you don't agree, ask for a way, as the saying goes, three stinkers beat Zhuge Liang, and it's always good for people to think of a way. As for Yang Tinghe's suggestion with Mao Cheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, I don't think we will adopt it, this is a mother's nest that we can't do. Lu Bing said.
"Happy!" Zhu Houxi shouted: "This is my Bing Lu Bing." ”
Lu Bing smiled and then said: "Yang Tinghe is not afraid of anything if he is offended, after all, he does not dare to openly mutiny, at best, he wants to be a supreme minister or the actual controller of this world, not really the emperor, at least I feel so, coercing the Son of Heaven to make the princes like this." Yang Ting and this person have a good face and talk about pomp, what they want is this kind of power, and the emperor can't take the feeling that I can't do it, so we might as well satisfy him first. Mr. Yuan is right about one thing, we should concentrate our strength, and then make plans when our political strength can compete with it. ”
"Do you mean that Yang Tinghe doesn't want to really rebel, or doesn't he have the courage to make an opposition?" Zhu Houxi said.
Lu Bing nodded: "Anyway, I feel that first of all, although this old man is very disgusting, he is also a loyal minister." Secondly, I think he also understands that after all, he has no military power, and some are political power, and Chairman Mao said that he is good at power. There is also a saying that if the scholar rebels for three years, Yang Tinghe still has some use under the imperial power, and it is no problem for the whole person to even kill someone. But if you are really overthrown and start a war, then it must be their own affairs, who has soldiers under them and who is powerful, who is willing to elect an old man with no soldiers and no power to be the leader? Isn't this the case with Wang Yun of the Eastern Han Dynasty, with such a lesson from the past, Yang Tinghe, who has read history books, will definitely not do this. That kind of situation is something that we, including Yang Tinghe, don't want to see, so please rest assured on this point, don't worry. ”
Zhu Houxi frowned: "I don't understand this, since there is no threat to such things, then let's not dump Yang Tinghe, why should we be afraid of him." The emperor's rights are the first in the world, and politically I am still afraid that I can't fight him? ”
"This is a bad statement, you can fight him, you can fight the ministers, but if the ministers strike one after another, or the inaction of the foreign workers, when the time comes, the state organs will not be able to operate, do you say that our Ming Dynasty is not going to be scattered? Yang Tinghe can manipulate civil officials to do such strikes, and you can't get them to resume work, even if you use coercion, it is just to make people think that the snake is obedient on the surface and scolds the street behind it, and is not doing a proper job. Lu Bing said, Zhu Houxi was silent for a long time and nodded: "You're right, but what should we do?" Is it really as Mr. Yuan obtains, first forbear? ”
"Yes, wait for the opportunity, clean it up in one fell swoop, now is not the time, we have to wait for the opportunity. Besides, what are you anxious about, Yang Tinghe is this age, the older he gets, the more he can't fight you, time is a murder knife. ”
"Well, Rong Zhen thinks about it."
"The minister will retire first, go back and ask Yuan Lao, and then return to His Majesty." Lu Bingzheng's worship of the Eight Classics.
Lu Bing went out of the palace, and sure enough, he asked Yuan Zonggao, what Mr. Yuan meant was that Yang Tinghe and others were right, and this kind of thing was also in line with etiquette and law, and it was irrefutable that the emperor should adapt to. Lu Bing shook his head, it seems that this is not what Old Mr. Yuan is good at. Lu Bing visited Zhang Yong, hoping that Zhang Yong could ask him what kind of results those Wenchen wanted, or what was the purpose of insisting so letting Zhu Houxi change his "father".
Zhang Yongzheng came to Mao Cheng's mansion in his spare time, and Mao Cheng did not have a bad impression of Zhang Yong, who was once one of the Eight Tigers, and thought that he often helped the Qing officials in the DPRK and China with a clear conscience, so he warmly received Zhang Yong. Zhang Yong went straight to the point and said his intentions, Mao Cheng smiled: "The saint is young, I don't know what we think, why even Gonggong Zhang doesn't understand Lord Yang's hard work." ”
"I really don't understand, this is the emperor's family matter, the ministers are pointing fingers like this, I, the internal supervisor who specializes in serving the emperor, really don't understand." Zhang Yongdao.
Mao Cheng nodded and said: "That is, Gonggong Zhang is used to the Holy Will, Gonggong Zhang, what do you think of Emperor Xiaozong?" ”
"The Great Wise King."
"That's it, if the current saint doesn't call Emperor Xiaozong the imperial examination, and Emperor Zhengde has died, is it possible to let Emperor Xiaozong cut off his bloodline? This is emotionally speaking, and theoretically, it is not wrong for the emperor to ascend the throne in accordance with the emperor's ancestral teachings, but Zhang Gonggong said that this is the emperor's family affair but does not agree, I am the world, and the emperor's family affairs are state affairs. In this way, our actions to maintain stability are also legitimate. What is to maintain stability is to maintain the legitimacy of the country, to maintain the circulation of the emperor's bloodline, and to maintain the purity of the imperial system. Strictly according to the Emperor's ancestral teachings, there are still many places in the saint today that do not meet the requirements of inheriting the throne as stated by Emperor Taizu Gao, if it is not succeeded by Emperor Xiaozong, it is inevitable that there will be vassal kings who question the legitimacy of the country, so as to raise troops and rebellion, so we are really for the country and the people, and it is reasonable to say that it is reasonable. Mao Cheng said.
Zhang Yong frowned and said, "Then why don't you submit this argument?" I think the Holy One is also a reasonable monarch, and he will surely understand your painstaking efforts. Even if I don't agree, I will never hold a grudge against you for this, at least I have a reason to understand you. ”
"How to present it, it's good that you understand this argument just now, but in other words, it will inevitably be thought that people will think that you are not too orthodox, and it is because of us that we put you on the position of great treasure, isn't this an invitation for merit and reward? The relationship with the saint will not only not ease, but it is estimated that it will deteriorate because of it, and now that he is the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, questioning the emperor is a crime of killing the head. Besides, as soon as this statement comes out, as long as it is written in black and white, it will be a shock, and people with bad intentions will definitely use it as a reason, either to maintain orthodoxy, or to say that it is the side of the Qing monarch, in short, it will be the real chaos in the world at that time. Mao Cheng replied, and then added in a low voice: "Don't forget, Jiang Bin hasn't been caught yet, and the vassal kings are not very peaceful." ”
Zhang Yong nodded: "Then you should have explained earlier, and entered Beijing with the prince's ceremony, and at that time, the edict that allowed the saint to enter Beijing clearly stated that the emperor's throne was written, and there was no prince's ceremony." ”
"It's not that we didn't expect it, we were afraid that we would say in advance that there would be a master's support, and it would be difficult for the time, so we only said it when Liangxiang entered Beijing immediately, but I didn't expect it to fall short." Mao Cheng sighed.
Zhang Yong clenched his fists and got up to say goodbye, Mao Cheng sent him to the door, Zhang Yong suddenly said: "You only think about the country's social affairs, haven't you considered the feelings of the saint?" ”
"As the ruler of the world, the Holy One should give something, and he should endure what ordinary people can't bear, and at the same time he gets the world. Hehe, for the world does not spare selfishness. Mao Cheng said.
Zhang Yong clenched his fists again: "I have been taught." ”
Mao Cheng looked at Zhang Yong's departing back, and suddenly his heart moved, and he stepped forward quickly, reaching out to pull Zhang Yong's sleeve. Zhang Yong was taken aback, Mao Cheng was the secretary of the Ministry of Etiquette, and he paid the most attention to etiquette Such an impudent behavior was like a country man, how could Zhang Yong not be surprised.
I only heard Mao Cheng say in Zhang Yong's ear: "If someone wants to join you, I can only say so much." ”
Zhang Yong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he bowed deeply with his fists, and did not get up for a long time at Mao Cheng, who had already left with his sleeves brushed.
