The Xuanshu Hall of the Weiyang Palace of the Han Dynasty is divided into the front and rear halls, the front hall is the place where large-scale court meetings and major events or diplomatic activities are held, and the apse of the Xuanshu Hall is the place where the Son of Heaven usually handles events, approves the recital and holds general court meetings.

Liu Zheng heard King Feng Ye's very detailed list of the number of temples and participants in the Great Han Kingdom from the local area to Chang'an, and felt that the cost was really amazing, so he asked King Feng Ye if there was a good way to solve this problem.

"Your Majesty, the ministers thought that in addition to Gaozu being ordered by the heavens to calm the world, he was the founder of the foundation of the Han Kingdom, and he deserved to enjoy the temple of Taizu and not be destroyed for generations, and the temples of other emperors or clans should be destroyed after a few generations, or within a certain period of time."

"Destruction?"

As soon as Feng Yewang's words were said, some people objected: "Ruined? Such a big rebellion, I am afraid that it will cause riots and the country will die! ”

"The Han Dynasty governs the country with filial piety, and Zuo Fengyi openly wants to destroy the ancestral temple, this is the number of books forgetting the ancestors!"

The crowd was excited, and most of the people opposed Feng Yewang were opposed, and only a small number of people did not say anything.

"The 'destruction' that the minister said does not mean that he will not serve these kings and ancestors at all, but that these ancestors will be merged into the temple of Taizu to accept ancestor worship in the order of generations and merits."

Feng Yewang's voice was a little louder: "In this way, first, we can reduce expenses, second, it is also easy to manage, and third, when we are sacrificing, we can also save time and reduce consumption on the road, why is it a big rebellion?" ”

"Your Majesty has just become a dynasty, how can you become a country? Whoever says this today is not sincere to Dahan. The majesty of the Son of Heaven was denigrated. It's a rebel and a thief! His heart should be punished! ”

Feng Yewang's voice was sonorous and powerful. Combined with his beautiful hair, it looks really righteous and awe-inspiring.

For a while, everyone in the hall was thinking, with different expressions.

Yu Dingguo's face will become very ugly.

Today's meeting seems to have started with a discussion of the disaster in the area east of Longxi and Hangu Pass, but the spearhead of this meeting seems to be aimed at itself.

Originally, as the prime minister, Yu Dingguo should be happy and angry, but he really couldn't bear it today.

Yu Dingguo was a doctor of imperial history when he was Emperor Xuan, and he didn't have long to be the prime minister. Emperor Xuan died.

Emperor Xuan's death is also a good thing for Yu Dingguo, but it is not good.

The good thing is that when the new emperor ascends the throne, many things need to be re-planned, and many ruling policies and local officials need to be reorganized, which is a good time to establish the prestige of the prime minister.

The bad thing is that Liu Zheng came up and became a new man. Emperor Xuan arranged for him three auxiliary ministers, and these three ministers who assisted the new emperor existed in a posture of overriding the power of the prime minister. It makes the prime minister's power a little restricted.

Yu Dingguo was a doctor of imperial history before he became prime minister, and the duty of the imperial doctor was to supervise the words and deeds of various officials and regulate their work.

Unlike ordinary officials, other officials do things and target the common people, while the Imperial Doctor is a person who specializes in finding out what is wrong with these officials, so he always looks at every official with the perspective of "everyone is likely to be guilty without the premise that the official verifies that you are innocent".

Although Yu Dingguo became the prime minister, his mentality could not be changed from the position of the imperial doctor, so after Yu Dingguo became the prime minister, he did not have any eye-catching decisions in the governing strategy of the Han Kingdom.

But this can't be blamed on Dingguo, the reason why he did not make achievements in the position of prime minister, the actual situation is because Emperor Xuan has just ascended to the sky, Liu Zheng has just ascended the throne, the main thing in the Han Kingdom recently is to mourn Emperor Xuan, and to announce to the world for Liu Zheng's accession to the throne, Yu Dingguo really has no other major events and opportunities to show his governance talent as the new prime minister.

If Yu Dingguo has a little idea and what he is going to do in the position of prime minister, it is precisely related to the destruction of the "redundant temple" that Feng Yewang said.

Emperor Xuan Liu Xun had just been buried, and he was going to sacrifice after being buried, so because of this fact, Yu Dingguo wrote to Liu Zheng and said that since Emperor Xuan's temple was established, would it be possible to renovate the temples of Emperor Wen Liu Heng, Emperor Jing Liu Qi, and Emperor Wu Liu Che?

Liu Zheng also agreed at the time, what's wrong with this?

Yu Dingguoxin said that he didn't say that he would repair an imperial temple like Emperor Zhao Liu Fuling?

But this will be Feng Yewang taking advantage of the country's disaster to tout that he wants to reduce the use of the ancestral emperor's temple, isn't that attacking himself as a prime minister?

Besides, what was the background when it was said that the temple was being repaired?

There will be no trouble in Longxi, there is no trouble in the east of Hangu Pass, the world is peaceful, even the Tuqi tribe of the Huns has accepted the surrender through Dunhuang Taishou Chen Pu under the leadership of Prince Guyulou, what a great merit is this, how can it be regarded as a credit to the prime minister?

Don't talk about it, what is this Zuo Feng Yi and Feng Yewang doing when they say this "extravagant and wasteful" in the Xuanshu Palace?

The Great Han Kingdom is so big, if you want to reduce the use, you can't think of ideas in other places, you have to pick it from the old emperor of Xutian?

- This Feng Yewang definitely has ulterior motives!

But what is his intention to dance the sword?

Taichang is one of the nine qing, and his duty is to be in charge of the rituals of the temple.

The official name of Taichang was changed to Fengchang when Emperor Liu Ying of the Han Dynasty, and it was changed to Taichang when Emperor Liu Qi of the Jing Emperor arrived.

Du Huan's father, Du Yannian, once served as a doctor in Emperor Xuan's meeting, and was ranked among the eleven heroes of Emperor Xuan's Qilin Pavilion, and Du Huan's younger brother was Huangmenlang Du Qin.

Du Xuan looked at King Feng Ye, and then looked at Prime Minister Yu Dingguo's face in his eyes, and couldn't guess what the Son of Heaven Liu Zheng meant, but when it came to the issue of the temple, he needed to make a statement too often.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Zuo Fengyi's words have some truth."

Du Xuan said while looking at Liu Zheng's expression: "This matter needs to be discussed a lot, after all, the temple is the ancestral family law, and even the ancestors don't support it." Will it make people laugh at our lack of etiquette? ”

"The minister is strongly in favor of reducing the cost and is not accustomed to extravagance and waste. But ......," Du Huanzheng said, and suddenly thought of something that his younger brother Du Qin said at home last night.

Duchin said. He had nothing to do in the past few days and drank with Liu Xin and a few of the new Western Regions Protector Gou Shen, because Gou Shen said that the home of Han Li, the envoy of the Han Dynasty in Wusun, was in Duling County, so he wanted to ask Gu Yong to mention Duan Huizong Duan Zisong, the county commander of Duling County, so that Duan Huizong could take more care of Han Li's family.

Du Qin is a hanger's temperament, this Du Xuan knows very well that Gou Shen originally asked Gu Yong to do this, but Du Qin was idle and had nothing to do. followed Gu Yong to Duling County, these are not the point.

The point is that it was already late when Du Qin and Gu Yong came back from Du Ling, but they met Yang Yun at Zuo Fengyi.

Yang Yun has just come out of the Imperial Governor's Office, what are you doing with Zuo Feng Yi in a good manner?

Du Xuan asked Du Qin at that time, Du Qin drank too much wine at Duan Huizong, and said casually: "Zuo Feng Yi Feng Yewang is the elder brother of Feng Zhaoyi of Weiyang Palace, and Captain Huqiang is the younger brother of the future queen, and there are not many people who know about this matter." But it won't be long before all the people of Chang'an will know the Tao. ”

"Yang Shanlang has been friends with Feng Junqing and Zhang Zigao long ago. Yang Yun helped him a lot when Gou Shen first arrived in Chang'an, how did his brother think Yang Yun was released from the Imperial Lieutenant's Office this time? Didn't Gou Shen follow the path of the queen? ”

"Gou Shen was originally famous in Chang'an, and now he has become the younger brother of the owner of Jiaofang Palace, with Gou Shen's thick thighs, if you don't hug it, who is it worth?"

"Yang Yun is the matchmaker who communicates with Gou Shen and Feng Yewang and is a matchmaker, this is called a strong alliance."

Feng Yewang is Feng Zhaoyi's elder brother, and Gou Shen is the younger brother of Queen Wang.

Regardless of whether Gou Shen knew it or not, the two of them were so good before, so now, at least they wouldn't object to what Feng Yewang did, right?

So, what Feng Yewang is saying in the Xuan Room Hall now, is it intentional or random? Or did the Son of Heaven deliberately let Gou Shen bring the words to King Feng Ye, and said them through King Feng Ye's mouth?

Or is it that Gou Shen knew the intention of the Son of Heaven and asked Yang Yun to say something to King Feng Ye, so that King Feng Ye made such a bold and shocking move today?

In any case, you can't risk offending Gou Shen, that is, you can't risk offending Queen Wang.

Thinking of this, Du Xuan said: "Chen thinks that Zuo Fengyi's words are very correct!" ”

Everyone was waiting for Du Wan to say something that was nothing, but he was very correct about coming to Feng Yewang, so even Xiao Wangzhi stared at Du Wan a few times.

Liu Zheng also felt that he was a little panting when he spoke too often.

Yu Dingguo finally couldn't sit still, he said in a deep voice: "When it comes to destroying the temple for sacrifices, the old minister thinks it's inappropriate. ”

"Regardless of Gaozu, such as Emperor Wen Liu Heng, in addition to slander, where to go to punishment, bow thrift, not sacrificed, sinners do not pay, do not selfish interests, out of beauty, re-exterminate human beings, give elders, accept loneliness, virtue and virtue in the world, and Lize Shi all over the world, should be enshrined as the temple of Emperor Taizong."

"If there is Emperor Wu, correct Shuo, change the color, and make the four yi, it should also be enshrined as the temple of the emperor Sejong."

"There is also Emperor Xuan, political and religious Ming, laws and regulations, border security, four Yiqing, single in the money, the world is rich, the people are happy, when his rule is too Taizong, should he enjoy the Taimiao? Which temple does Zuo Fengyi want to destroy? ”

Yu Dingguo's words made everyone fall silent, originally Feng Yewang's argument was a very trouble-prone thing, whoever got it was a little unclear, this would be the prime minister to oppress people with three old emperors, besides, Emperor Xuan is still like today's father, everyone is from the Emperor Xuan Dynasty, how can you say that Emperor Xuan will destroy the temple and merge it into the Taizong Temple after how many years?

After being silent for a while, the imperial historian Wei Xuancheng spoke: "What the prime minister said is very true, but Zuo Fengyi's intention is to conform to His Majesty's frugality, this starting point is correct, not to say that those emperors will be abandoned from now on, so if others don't say it, I, the imperial historian, will not agree." ”

"Confucius once said on the river, 'The deceased is like a husband, reluctant to give up day and night', which shows that time is like flowing water, and the world is changeable."

"Therefore, it is not an inappropriate act to respect the king for a certain period of time, and after this time limit, to avoid being a formality and to respect the king in your heart, so that it can set an example for future generations to put an end to extravagance and waste.

Wei Xuancheng said a lot, but still supported Zuo Fengyi Feng Yewang's arguments, Yu Dingguo almost sneered: "Then dare to ask the imperial historian, how long did we let the king's temple exist, and how long did it take to destroy the temple?" ”

Wei Xuancheng didn't speak, and Zuo Fengyi and Feng Yewang replied: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the prime minister asked this sentence very well, but he asked the wrong object. ”

Liu Zheng said in surprise: "Oh? Zuo Fengyi said, who should I ask the prime minister? ”

Yu Dingguo sneered as Liu Zheng asked, staring at King Feng Ye like a thief.

Feng Yewang bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, Emperor Wu respected Dong Zhongshu and respected Confucianism, and the Confucianism about etiquette and filial piety comes from the Spring and Autumn Period Kong Zhongni. (To be continued......)
