After listening to King Feng Ye's words, Imperial Historian Wei Xuancheng shook his head and said, "Zuo Feng Yi's words are debatable and slightly biased. ”

"Although Confucius founded Confucianism in the Spring and Autumn Period and revised and compiled "Poems", "Books", "Rites", "Music", "Yi", and "Spring and Autumn", he also said that the rites were completed in the Zhou, which shows that the Zhou rites were earlier than the etiquette and filial piety that Confucius told, and he just summarized the Zhou rites."

As soon as Wei Xuancheng said that, some people wanted to ask whether they wanted to call Kong Ba to come, but Wei Xuancheng said: "In this case, what Zuo Fengyi said is that it is better to let Kong Ciru come and talk about this question about 'etiquette'." ”

Wei Xuancheng was another big gasp.

Everyone thought that the imperial historian's words were made in the Zhou Dynasty and that Kong Qiu was just the creator of the Zhou rites to oppose the words of King Feng Ye, but in the end, he became in agreement.

It seems that when Wei Xuancheng speaks in the future, he will not finish the last sentence, so he really shouldn't guess what he means.

The thirteenth generation grandson of Kongqiu Kong Zhongni, Kong Ba, is now a doctor of the Han Dynasty, and is an official in charge of books and classics and is familiar with historical affairs.

Kong Ba's robe was magnificent, and he arrived at the apse of the Xuanshu Palace, Liu Zheng was more familiar with it because he often listened to Kong Ba lecture on classics in the past, and he said when he saw it: "Kong Ba, about how to worship the temples of the clan, or should each emperor have his own separate temple, or after a certain year, these temples will be concentrated and worshipped, what can the doctor teach?" ”

Kong Ba didn't know what the Son of Heaven Liu Zheng asked him to do, and as soon as he came in, Liu Zheng asked such a question, and he would be a little puzzled for a while. The mouth replied, "Your Majesty." According to etiquette. The general duration of the mourning service is three years, but what is the basis for this three-year mourning service? ”

"This is based on the degree of grief that posterity has for the bereaved."

"The so-called monarchs, ministers, fathers, sons, what kind of relationship exists, there are rituals commensurate with it, and the boundaries between relatives and nobles cannot be increased or decreased at will."

Kong Ba said as he observed the expressions of everyone in the hall: "The wound of the deceased is deep, so the recovery of the soul will be long." The grief is severe, and the time to calm down is ......"

"Your Majesty, please make it clear that since each emperor has its own separate temple, why should you concentrate this spiritual position in a few years?"

Kong Ba said a few words, couldn't figure out what Liu Zheng meant, and simply didn't think about it, and sent the question back to Liu Shi.

Yu Dingguo coughed and said: "The Longxi region and the east of Hangu Pass are now suffering, Zuo Fengyi thinks that the Great Han Kingdom should be thrifty and thrifty, and the previous kings and ancestors' temples are too extravagant and wasteful, so these ancestors should be merged into the temple of Taizu to accept ancestor worship in the order of generations and merits. ”

"The doctor is a descendant of the Confucian family. Your ancestors have studied 'rites' quite deeply, you can tell me. How long will it be appropriate to destroy the original emperor's sacrificial temple and put it into the Taizu Temple for worship? ”

When Kong Ba heard this, a lot of cold sweat broke out on his back, and he said in his heart, Isn't this going to kill me!

The disaster of the Han Dynasty and the merger of the emperor's sacrificial temples together sounds like an irrelevant matter, no matter how poor the Han is, can it be that the poor can't even support their ancestors?

How I answered, how I answered, may not be good.

You three princes and nine ministers are in the court, what are you doing with me as a doctor?

Who asked me to come, isn't this a trap for me?

No, there is a conspiracy in this matter!

Although Kong Ba read a lot, he was not a nerd who blindly read books at that time, Liu Zheng and Yu Dingguo both spoke, and he couldn't answer it: "Your Majesty, the rule of three years of mourning is for ordinary people, and when you keep filial piety, you must wear a decrepit and decrepit, hold a straight cane, live in Yilu, eat gruel, sleep on the grass, and use clods of soil as pillows. ”

"All this is to express infinite grief for the deceased."

"However, it is said that the three-year mourning period is actually among the people, and there are also those who end in twenty-five months, and there are also places where there is a lack of education, and those that end in three months or less, and it cannot be unified, and in some places people keep filial piety for their parents and ancestors, and there are as long as six years."

"Indoctrination is indoctrination, as long as there is no specific norm formed, it can only be maintained by people's own inner consciousness, which is related to morality, not law."

"Why do you have a short period of filial piety in some places? That's because although the grief of the filial son is not over, the memory of the predecessors still exists, but the remembrance of the deceased must have a deadline, and the living must always resume production and labor, otherwise, how to eat and make a living? Isn't the country's tax collection complete? ”

Kong Ba said that his heart lit up, and said that it was not money to move the ancestral temple together to concentrate on the memorial?

Then Liu Zheng called himself here, wasn't the purpose to reduce the cost of sacrifice?

The prime minister Yu Dingguo just said that Zuo Feng Yi Feng Yewang thinks that the Han Kingdom should be thrifty and thrifty, and Feng Yewang is Feng Zhaoyi's elder brother, since he wants to reduce it, has he been instructed by the Son of Heaven?

Yu Dingguo said that King Feng Ye supported frugality, so Yu Dingguo was against the destruction of the ancestral temple?

"The mourning period is three years, some are six years, some are three months, and some are one year, and the period of mourning for this year is based on: for some relatives who are not supreme and do not serve for one year, they should be removed."

"The reason is that in a year, heaven and earth have been running for a week, the seasons have been cycled, and between heaven and earth, everything is renewed, so a year's mourning dress has been formulated to imitate it."

"So why is the mourning period of three years? The reason is to make the mourning period more solemn, so the mourning period is doubled, so it is not until two anniversaries that the mourning clothes are removed. ”

"As for His Majesty's just asked the minister about how to sacrifice in the ancestral temple of the clan, what was followed before, you can follow it, but everything is not static, and there is always a close and distant sacrifice, so among the five clothes, the three years of decay are the most solemn mourning clothes, the third month of absolute hemp and the fifth month of Xiaogong are the lightest mourning clothes, and the first anniversary of Qi decline and the ninth month of Dagong are the mourning clothes between the two."

This kind of stipulation is based on the law from the sky, from the earth at the bottom, and from human affection in the middle. So I thought. Three years of mourning for ordinary people. It is the most solemn etiquette, which has been followed by the Son of Heaven for generations, and has not been violated by anyone throughout the ages. ”

"Why? The ancestors of the minister said that the child can only leave the arms of his parents three years after he is born, so when the parents die, the children mourn their parents for three years, which is also a common funeral ceremony in the world. ”

"And the number is 'nine'. Ninety-nine to one, therefore, His Majesty to the whole country to strictly economize, is really the luck of the Han Dynasty, so the original emperor's sacrificial temple into the Taizu Temple to accept worship, more than nine years, can be implemented. ”

"The first emperor collapsed, His Majesty will inevitably be hurt, but the country cannot be without a king for a day, otherwise the country will not be a country. Therefore, His Majesty only needs to think about the ancestors of the king. It doesn't have to be a formality, and it's okay to appoint someone else to guard the temple on your behalf. ”

Kong Ba's words were verbose, but when he reached the end, he still agreed with King Feng Ye's opinion, and said the years when the ancestral temples that had always been sacrificed separately were destroyed and listed in the Taizong Temple.

Some people are happy and some are worried, Feng Yewang is silent, his heart is happy, Yu Dingguo's eyebrows and eyes are furrowed, and his chest is extremely angry.

Du Xuan said at this time: "I think what the doctor said is reasonable."

"Ordinary people keep filial piety for three years is filial piety, otherwise it will delay farming and lead to the lack of national taxes, Confucius was buried on the shore of Surabaya in the north of Qufu City, and his disciples mourned for three years, but Zigong guarded the tomb of Confucius for six years, so other imperial temples were placed in the temple of Taizu after nine years to receive worship, this statement is very correct."

At this time, Zhongshu Shi Xian played, saying that the Yellow River in Henan County suddenly burst, causing a large number of people to be displaced, and today's cold, countless people have frozen to death from frostbite.

"What?" When Liu Zheng heard this, he stood up and asked, "How can this be?" There is an earthquake here, a disaster there, and the Yellow River is flooded again. ”

Xiao Wangzhi has been the prince and the prince, he deeply knows that the current son of heaven is different from Emperor Xuan, at this time, he must come forward to give advice to his disciple, otherwise, Liu Zheng really doesn't know how to deal with many troublesome things that seem to pop up all of a sudden.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Yellow River has burst its banks, and now it is necessary to quickly let Henan County and nearby counties send people to rescue, and urgently open the granaries of the counties under the county government to help the victims, stabilize people's hearts, and do not provoke civil uprisings, and then dispatch competent people to coordinate inspections to control the losses to a minimum."

When Liu Zheng heard it, he said: "What Taifu said is good, just follow what Taifu said." ”

Shi Dan saw Liu Zheng talking to Xiao Wangzhi like this, his eyes looked at his feet, and said in his heart that this Xiao Wangzhi liked to be in the limelight when he was Emperor Xuan, and now that Liu Zheng has succeeded to the throne, his temperament has not changed.

The sudden disaster in Henan County made the atmosphere of the originally dull court meeting even more tense, Kong Baxin said that what he just said seemed to be right, and now there are disasters everywhere, and thrift is the mainstream.

As soon as Liu Zheng's words fell, another chamberlain came in to play: "Your Majesty, there is a person outside the bus door who wrote that he was suppressed by the prime minister, and he wanted to see His Majesty to complain about his grievances, and if His Majesty was not allowed, he would die at the bus door." ”

"What?" Liu Zheng just sat down and stood up with something in his mouth.

Wei Xuancheng frowned and said, "Who would have done such a fatherless and ungentlemanly rebellious thing at the bus door!" ”

"Everything is in order, if you want to complain, you can find the imperial history, why do you go directly to Weiyang Palace to threaten the Son of Heaven?"

"If you don't see this kind of person, tell the guards, drag this person aside and torture him to see who he is instructed to do, how can he sue the prime minister of the Han Dynasty?"

"Wait!" Xiao Wangzhi stopped Wei Xuancheng: "If this person dares to come to complain, there must be grievances, whether there is any misunderstanding about the prime minister, it is always necessary to find out." ”

"Your Majesty has just ascended the throne now, and the world is not peaceful, if this person's heart is scattered, it will be difficult to converge."

Liu Zheng listened, thought about it and said, "What did the prime minister say? ”

Yu Dingguo has thoroughly understood that today's court meeting is really designed by someone to take his own knife, just to make his position as the prime minister unsafe.

But who is the person behind the conspiracy?

Liu Zheng asked, Yu Dingguo couldn't help but answer: "The minister also thinks that he should let that person come to the Xuanshu Hall to listen to His Majesty's inquiry, the so-called reason is not clear, the minister, as the prime minister of a country, can sit upright, otherwise, how to lead other officials of the Han Dynasty to perform their duties." ”

"Please give your Majesty's permission, let that person come and show him what grievances he has, minister, and I also want to know where Lu Dao is lacking, if there is something, change it, and if not, encourage it."

Liu Zheng asked people to bring the person with the book on the bus door into the hall, and King Feng Ye looked at each other fleetingly with Wei Xuancheng, the imperial historian, at the moment when everyone looked outside the hall. (To be continued......)

PS: Does a crying child have milk? Fly without a ticket, everyone doesn't give it? Writing is a hobby rather than a profession for the author, and the ranking of the book goes up, and the author's enthusiasm for updating will be stimulated. No one resonates and no one applauds, and it's boring to write and write.

Besides, if one of the book friends of King Xian only votes for one recommendation a day, the results of this book will also be good...... I hope that flying daily updates will become a habit, and friends will vote every day, and it will also become a habit.
