Chapter 165: Dismissed
Wang Dalun's hunch is not wrong, how to say that Kong Yinzhi is still the Yan Shenggong of the imperial court, how to say it, the court can do without you Wang Dalun, but it can't do without Yan Shenggong, because this represents the foundation of an empire to govern the world, in the era of Confucianism, no one will give up!
After the complaint documents on both sides were handed over, Chongzhen had a headache, on the one hand, he hated Kong Yinzhi's shamelessness and greed, and on the other hand, he was blaming Wang Dalun for causing trouble for him!
Yes, in Chongzhen's opinion, Wang Dalun really caused him a lot of trouble, and the imperial historians in the court who made people hurt got the news, like a shark smelling blood, they were excited, excited, this is the best time for them to perform.
Let's not mention that they themselves are protΓ©gΓ©s of Confucius, what they rely on to survive is Confucius, Kong Yinzhi is bullied by people, and they are also affected by others, isn't this smashing their jobs, so they are naturally excited.
And the most important thing is that there is no question of standing in line this time, no matter what faction, as long as you are a civilian official, you must take the initiative to maintain this order, they rely on it for a living, can soar, or rely on this order, now a military attache wants to challenge this order, do you say they can agree?
Therefore, the envoys were like eating expired aphrodisiacs, and they desperately played one by one, eager to crush Wang Dalun's bones and scatter ashes, and destroy them humanely! This is the moment of their performance, and there is basically no risk, do you think they can let it go?
Chongzhen looked at the twists and turns piled up into a mountain, and began to make up his mind in his heart, ready to sacrifice Wang Dalun to calm this chaos. Although Wang Dalun is very loyal. helped him solve a lot of problems, but the most ruthless is the heavenly family, in their eyes, anyone can sacrifice for their own power.
When he was about to carry it out, a special recital arrived, but this time it was not the imperial historians who complained, but the scholars began to complain, and they all came from the same place. Shandong! And it comes with a blood book!
In the blood book that comes with the fold. The scholars went to their own state capital to complain, and there was only one object of the complaint, Kong Yinzhi, the Holy Father! They listed Kong Yinzhi's three major crimes.
First, infidelity! This is easy to understand. As long as you dig out the bad things that have been done by the previous Yan Shenggong. You can easily explain the problem.
In particular, at the end of the Song Dynasty, Yan Shenggong Kong Yuanhua. not only threw away the godfather Jin Guo who he had just recognized, and immediately threw himself into the arms of the godfather of the Yuan Dynasty, but also became a traitor with all his heart. helped suppress the Han people, but he sadly reflected that being a dog did not end well.
Not to mention that he was beaten to death by the anti-Yuan righteous soldiers, after his death, he was taken away by Kong Yuancuo of the same clan. And the Yuan master, for whom he gave his life, simply abandoned their line and established Kong Yuancuo's line!
Therefore, the views of the scholars are very clear, Kong Yuancuo's line is not a descendant of Confucius, and his character is also ridiculously poor, what qualifications are there to be descendants of Confucius and enjoy the preferential treatment of the imperial court?
Second, unfilial piety! They relied on the fact that the successive Yan Sheng Gong did not follow the teachings of Confucius at all, and they listed evidence from the Confucius texts that quoted scriptures and scriptures, combined with the words and deeds of the previous Yan Sheng Gong, and compared them one by one, refuting that they did not follow the words of their ancestors at all.
Third, unrighteousness! As a descendant of Confucius, there is no Confucius's benevolence, but instead of enclosing the land and forcing the people to sell their sons and daughters, as slaves and maids, in the fish and meat township, this is what the descendants of Confucius can do?
At the end of the text, the scholars wept blood and cried bitterly, and the moral models and etiquette set by the sage Confucius were to be followed and learned by all the people in the world. As a descendant, but did not abide by it, what qualifications does such a disloyal, unfilial, and unrighteous person have to be admired by the whole world and become a model for the world?
Chongzhen saw it, and his heart that was originally going to sacrifice Wang Dalun was shaken again, and he shook his head and said, "Great, what do you say I should do?" β
Wang Chengen bowed his head and said, "These old slaves don't dare to put their beaks!" β
Although Wang Chengen is usually willing to help Wang Dalun say good things, but this time Wang Dalun's matter has become big, offending the world's scholars, as a eunuch, he will not dare to help, this is a fire pit, if those literati know that they help Wang Dalun, it may lead to a fire, and the eunuchs and literati will not deal with it.
Chongzhen was very satisfied with Wang Chengen's attitude, and he also knew that Wang Chengen didn't dare to express his position on this issue, so he had to say: "Are there any other twists and turns?" Don't be busy dealing with the impeachment of Wang Hu first! β
"Yes!" Wang Chengen took the top three copies to Chongzhen, and explained: "One is from King Lu, one is from Fang Wenjin, and the other is from the Ministry of War!" β
"Hmm!" Chongzhen nodded, and began to read King Lu's recitals, he attaches great importance to the attitude of the vassal king, after all, if the vassal kings are dissatisfied, he, the emperor, is sometimes very unstable!
"This Kong Yinzhi is really bold, he doesn't even care about my imperial uncle's face, it seems that he really thinks that the Confucian Mansion is a country within a country!" Chongzhen snorted coldly.
Wang Chengen was secretly happy in his heart, but he didn't say anything. It is enough for Zhilu Dao Chongzhen to be dissatisfied with Kong Yinzhi!
Chongzhen picked up the military department's recital again, looked at it for a long time, and said: "This is Wang Hu's self-defense for a long time!" This kid is playing with me, and he uses Kong Youde to press me! β
Wang Chengen was shocked again, it seems that although Wang Hu's statement made Chongzhen know his importance, it also planted a nail in Chongzhen's heart. But at this time, Wang Dalun's handling is not wrong, if Chongzhen is not reminded, if he is cut like Yuan Chonghuan, he will be unjustly killed.
Chongzhen picked up Fang Wenjin's recital, sighed and said, "Hey, it's also embarrassing for their two sons-in-law, and it's also helpless!" This mess is not easy to deal with by anyone! β
Wang Chengen didn't answer, just looked at Chongzhen in a daze in front of the desk, estimated that Chongzhen was almost thinking, and he reminded in a whisper on the side: "Your Majesty, the hour is not early, do you want to rest in peace?" β
"Rest in peace!" Looking at the twists and turns of the impeachment of Wang Dalun piled up on the desk, Chongzhen couldn't help but feel irritated, these officials who only spit everywhere, except for stepping on people, there is no constructive opinion? So he didn't have the heart to continue to review the recitals.
"Then where is the emperor going to sleep tonight?" Wang Chengen asked slightly.
Chongzhen's heart immediately flashed with Concubine Tian's enthusiasm, as well as gentleness and loveliness, his troubled heart couldn't help but feel hot, and he said, "I'll go and see if Concubine Tian is asleep!" β
When Chongzhen came to Concubine Tian's bedroom, Concubine Tian, who had already received the news, greeted her with flowers and branches, and said very gently: "Participate in Your Majesty!" β
Looking at Tian Guifei's delicate face, Chongzhen suddenly became excited, hugged Tian Guifei and went directly to the bed. Next, it is natural that the dragon and phoenix are auspicious and comfort each other!
After the first harvest of clouds and rain, Concubine Tian lay on Chongzhen's chest, her head was tightly pressed against Chongzhen, and asked with concern: "Your Majesty, are you in a bad mood today?" β
"Hey! After taking this mess, when will I be in a good mood! Chongzhen sighed.
"The territory of the Ming Dynasty is huge, the territory is wide, and the population is large, which requires you to decide and deal with it alone, of course, things will be busy, although Your Majesty is not a Shiming monarch, but the ministers below are useless, all the burdens are on you alone, of course, you will bother!" Concubine Tian said leisurely.
"Concubine Ai is so right, I have no useful ministers under my command! In addition to suppressing people with righteousness and pretending to be shocking, what else can those speech officials do, and cause trouble for me all day long! There are also two courtiers under him, but they also make me worry-free! Chongzhen sighed and said.
"Who you off? For these unconcerned ministers, you can just fire them directly, saving them from worrying! Concubine Tian said softly on the side.
"Hey, it's not as simple as you think, let's just say that recently, the matter of Wang Hu's collision with the Holy Father of Yan is now arguing, and I am upset now!" Chongzhen sighed and said.
"Wang Hu? Although the concubine is in the deep palace, but I have also heard of his reputation, it seems that Kong Youde, who has been in a uproar in Shandong recently, said that he was defeated in his hands, and when the concubine's father entered the palace, he also said to the concubine, this Wang Hu is a tiger general, maybe he will defeat Houjin in the future! Concubine Tian said casually.
"Oh, why did you say that?" Chongzhen asked with great interest.
"The concubine's father said that Wang Hu dared to use 15,000 people to regret Kong Youde's 50,000 army, which proved that he was a brave person, and this person did not bargain at all for the dispatch of the imperial court, and often paid out of his own pocket, he was a rare talent, if there were more such people, he would be afraid of a small Houjin?"
Chongzhen heard Houjin, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, since the soldiers besieged the capital, Chongzhen often had nightmares, for this reason, he killed Yuan Chonghuan, who would only talk about the country, but thinking of the scene when his generals saw Houjin and collapsed, he only had sadness in his heart.
Those generals are afraid of the enemy like tigers, and they will only ask for salaries and soldiers all day long, not to mention that the imperial court does not have so much money and food, but if they do, if they are given, can they win the battle? The army of the Ming Dynasty has been rotten from the roots, and in the past ten years, only Wang Hu has fought beautifully.
Concubine Tian's words reminded him that although Kong Yinzhi is an indispensable figure to maintain his rule, it is impossible for him to help him solve these problems, if he wants to defeat the aggressive Houjin, he must be a general like Wang Dalun, so this matter must be cautious!
Seeing that Chongzhen was pondering, Concubine Tian stopped talking, she was a smart woman, she had already said everything she needed to say tonight, and what she had to do now was nothing more than to shut up and let Chongzhen choose for herself.
"Someone, the purpose! Wang Hu, the acting chief soldier of Shandong, was unruly and unruly, collided with the national prince, and deeply reflected on the mistakes he made when he was dismissed! Yan Shenggong Kong Yinzhi, conferred the post of five classic schools, compiled the words and deeds of the saints, and must be engraved and published next year to promote the virtues of the saints! Chongzhen, who had made up his mind, commanded in a deep voice. (To be continued......)
