Chapter 20, the people and ministers should speak

Liu Xie really didn't want to see Shixun, and the other party took the initiative to ask for advice, but he had to see him. Let's not mention that the monarchy in these years has not been able to completely overwhelm the power of the ministers, especially those old and important ministers, but please meet you, the emperor has no reasonable excuse It is impossible to refuse-not like later generations, the emperor can stay in the palace for decades without going to court and not seeing his courtiers. And as far as Liu Xie's puppet identity is concerned, he is a close confidant of the Cao family, and he doesn't dare to refuse it outside the palace casually.

But after all, my liver trembled, and when I heard that it was Xun's invitation, I was so frightened that I even dropped my wine glass.

When Empress Cao saw Liu Xie's expression, she said that she was willing to stay, and you would be Lingjun with Your Majesty. Liu Xie pondered for a while, after all, it was Cao Cao's daughter, even if Xun didn't sell my face, he had to sell the queen's face, with the queen present, it is estimated that he would not dare to stare at me like that.

So let the nurse take away the young son Liu Yi under Chenghuan's knees, and remove the banquet, and then Liu Xie straightened his clothes and crowns, and called Shixun to enter the pilgrimage. It didn't take long for Hongfu to be dressed in court clothes, with a wat board in his waist, and rushed in, first kneeling down to Liu Xie, and then kowtowing to Cao Hou, and then straightening his waist.

Liu Xie pretended to smile and said, "Yes, please see me today, I don't know what is important?" "He really didn't understand what Ji-hoon was here to do. Since Shixun returned to Xudu and made Shangshu Ling, he has been in a row for half a year, except for the monarchs and ministers who meet during the New Year's holidays, and he usually doesn't run to the palace at all, what do you want to say today? State affairs have always been self-determined by Cao Jiaban, do you need to ask me?

Shi Xun glanced at Cao Hou, and arched his hand: "The minister does have something important to play the Son of Heaven, but the Son of Heaven really wants the queen to listen to it?" The corners of Liu Xie's mouth trembled. Quickly replied: "No harm." "You just let her stay with her, what are you going to do to blow the queen away? I don't dare to confront you alone!

Yes Hoon said that this is the case. Then I'll say it bluntly-"The minister heard that the imperial historian Xi Gong often told the Son of Heaven in the past year, and I don't know what to say?" ”

Liu Xiexin said that you are asking knowingly, what did Xi Xuan say to me, can you not know? You're wearing a pair of pants, won't he tell you? Oh, you're trying to get me to take the initiative and say, "It's for Zen." "Hello, you're lobbying for thisβ€”ahhh This guy is here for this too!

I couldn't help but turn my head to look at Cao Hou, and I got a look of support and encouragement. To say that Liu Xie is still very emotional, and Empress Cao's family education is very strict. has a gentle temperament, and since entering the palace, she has not relied on her father's power to call her husband back and forth, so the relationship between the couple is quite harmonious. Liu Xie once drank too much wine and hugged Empress Cao. couldn't help but sigh: "Ruoqing is not Cao's daughter." It's even better. Unexpectedly, Empress Cao replied honestly: "If I am not a daughter of the Cao family, I am afraid of following in the footsteps of the Fu family." Liu Xie was so frightened that he withered on the spot......

But overall, Empress Cao treats herself quite well, although she can't expect her to completely break away from her mother's family and put her husband's status higher than her father in her mind, but if it weren't for Cao Cao's personal arrival, she would still be willing to help her husband and save face for her husband. Liu Xie is very clear about this. Even if Cao Ang was still in Xudu back then, Cao De is also there now. Between the exchanges, Empress Cao seems to be more partial to herself - isn't it true that my brother and uncle have not come to kiss the uncle in front of me? If Xun really dares to speak harshly to himself, Empress Cao will inevitably reprimand him and support himself.

Thinking of this, I was bold, but then I thought of it - my dignified man, the king of a country, actually rely on women to help, but I can't help but be discouraged. The face was cloudy, and the mouth was just perfunctory: "It's just a commentary, and nothing is important." I don't mention the word "Zen Rang".

"I see," it was Xun Xin who said that since you didn't want to mention it, then I had to take the initiative to speak-simply, don't go around in circles, I'll go straight in-" The minister recently accepted Lantai into the book, which is to help Sun Shuran sort out the old classics, and he has also gained a lot from Jingyi, and he has come to play His Majesty. Suddenly, he straightened his waist and raised his voice: "Naizhi Zen let ......"

"It's too much," Empress Cao interrupted Shi Xun's words in time, "This is not what the ministers should say." ”

Of course, Cao Cao is also a minister, if Cao Cao came to talk to Liu Xie about the Zen concession, Empress Cao resolutely did not dare to intervene; Xi Xuan is also a minister, Xi Xuan came back to see Liu Xie to talk about Zen Rang, and Empress Cao listened behind the screen, but it was not ordered by the Son of Heaven to sit together, so it was inconvenient to take the initiative to show up and reprimand. But now the emperor is so pitiful, he wants to pull me to be his backer, and his sister-in-law has always been gentle, and he looks much better than Xi Xian, so I might as well block him.

Empress Cao also knew that sooner or later there would be such a day. She saw and heard how her father was a hero when she was a child, fighting in the south and the north, and blackmailing the king to dominate, deep down, her father is an eternal idol, and she will marry a brave man like her father when she marries in the future. It's a pity that there is no free love in these years, marriage still needs the order of parents, and my father has to send himself to the palace, and after being the son of heaven, he has to pinch his nose and admit it. In Empress Cao's subconscious, in fact, if the Son of Heaven were not his own father, he would be no different from ordinary people.

Marrying a chicken with a chicken, marrying a dog with a dog, since you are married to this surnamed Liu, you have to think more about your husband. Of course, the premise is whether this consideration is meaningful-let's not say that I already think that my father should be the emperor, even if I don't have this thought, in terms of the current situation, my husband, the emperor, will definitely not be able to last long, and I am a woman's ear, do I dare to block the car with my mantis arm? Don't make it a good one, you can't keep your husband, and you fold your son in...... I don't want to be the second of Fushou!

Therefore, it is inevitable for my dad to bully my husband, and I can't stop it, no one else...... Even if it's an aunt-in-law, you don't want to give my husband a step down in front of me!

Empress Cao stopped like this, but it was unexpected. After he looked at Cao, he looked at Liu Xie again - I understand, it turns out that you let your wife stay to support you, look at you, the emperor...... No, are you still a man?

But if you want to think that Empress Cao can stop Shi Xun, that's nonsense. The scholars of this year were affected by the environment, and they were exposed to it after they were born, so they naturally had a sense of awe for the superiors, even if they didn't put the puppet emperor in their eyes, they should theoretically tremble and respect the daughter of the king of Wei. It's just that Xun is special, he comes from two thousand years later. There has always been no real respect for these feudal authorities - I am afraid of the power of the Cao family, not Cao Cao himself, as for your little girl's family. Living in the deep palace, with no knowledge, can you stop me?

smiled indifferently at the moment: "The ministers and the Son of Heaven are also state affairs, and they are not the ones who can be placed by the queen." ”

Then he turned to Liu Xie: "Since Your Majesty listens to the woman and not to the minister, please retire." ”

Liu Xiexin said that it was good to retire. Hurry up and go! But Empress Cao couldn't let Shi Xun go, not to mention that she also hoped that Shi Xun could help persuade Cao Cao and leave her husband with a small life. As soon as the rumor of "listening to women and not ministers" spread, Liu Xie's already not very tall image shrank again in an instant-if Dad grabbed this handle, he might really want to abolish the Son of Heaven!

If the husband directly gives up the position of the Son of Heaven to his father, there will still be a glimmer of life. If it is abolished first. If someone with the surname Liu becomes the emperor, the outcome will be difficult to predict - Liu He died of grief after being deposed as the Marquis of Haidu, that's not bad, think about the fate of Liu Xie and his brother Liu Wei......

Empress Cao is not too clever, but she is somewhat smarter than Liu Xie, and when she heard this, she quickly straightened up and waved at Shi Xun: "I speak in vain, and I will make you not guilty." If I talk about state affairs, I should avoid my seat. If you talk about the meaning of the scriptures, let me listen to them. ”

Yes Hoon pouted secretly. The heart said Liu Xie, you are not very reliable to find this backer...... hurriedly returned the salute to the queen: "What the minister said today, the scriptures are also righteous, and it does not involve practice, and the queen can sit in peace." "Cao Houxin said that if you don't talk about practical affairs, it will be easy to do, you should discuss the scriptures first, I have to find an opportunity to induce the emperor to open his mouth and beg you for his life.

Liu Xie was helpless, so he had to ask Shi Xun: "What does Qing want to talk about?" ”

It was Xun Xin who said that I pointed out the topic in one go, so as to save others from interjecting - not only the emperor and queen in the hall, but also the eunuchs and Taishi, the people around Liu Xie, maybe they don't have the same heart as the Cao family, if they really want to risk death to jump out and block me for a few words, my momentum will be discharged, and my words will be fragmented, how can I convince Liu Xie? So he quickened his speech and said loudly: "The minister investigates the classics, but he suspects the so-called Zen concession, and there is nothing to do!" ”

When Liu Xie heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned - what do you mean by Hongfu? A while ago, Xi Wei always came to me to talk about Zen Rang, while mentioning how Cao Cao was virtuous and meritorious, and ruled the world together, while saying that Zen made only saints can do it, hoping that I would follow the line of the old saints, which is a great virtue. I thought that Xun was going to say this, maybe the words were sharper than Xi Xian, and the arguments were more thorough than Xi Xuan, but I didn't want to say it first - there is no Zen in this world.

Could it be that Xun Zhen is a traditional loyal minister, who spoke for the Cao family in the Cao family, and now that he is in the imperial court, he has begun to think about me? He couldn't help but be intrigued, leaned forward slightly, and asked eagerly, "I don't know what I mean, what do you mean?" ”

Shi Xun smiled slightly, and said in his heart - Okay, I took the bait! Finally, I can slow down the speed of my speech, step by step, and invite you into the urn - "The minister is not presumptuous, and he is guilty of death." Today, the court thinks that the king of Wei is high, and asks His Majesty to give up the position of the Son of Heaven, so that he can ask the ministers and let him go. However, the minister thought that in the past, Wang Mang was the true son of heaven with his residence, abolished the prince and the baby, and was passed on as Zen, and the real usurpation was also rude, and his etiquette was not rude and unusable. It is the gift of Zen letting, when it is sought three generations ago, and there is no Zen after three generations. Therefore, according to the old classics, and the suspicion of ancient Zen lets, or it is also a lie. ”

Wang Mang was a fake emperor from the Duke of An Han, a fake emperor and a real emperor, rumored to have been conceded by the Han Dynasty, but in fact, the infant was still in Chongling, and from the first year of Ju Se was carried by Wang Mang to be the crown prince, until the third year of Ju Se Wang Mang usurped the throne, and never officially practiced the emperor - Chan has to be carried out between the monarchs, where is the reason why the crown prince Chan gave up his throne? Therefore, it is not a real Zen concession, even if the relevant etiquette was formulated at that time, it is invalid and cannot be regarded as a "Zen concession ceremony".

The Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties did not have anything to do with Zen, so if you really want to study the rites of Zen, you have to turn over the pile of old papers and go further to find it. But I've been looking through the classics in Lantai for so many days, and finally I have a little bit of it-it seems that the so-called Zen Rang has never existed at all, let alone its etiquette?!

Liu Xie didn't understand: "Xi Yao Chan Shun, Shun Chan Yu, everyone knows it, but what nonsense is it?" ”

Shi Xun shook his head: "Han Fei Zeyun: 'Shun forced Yao, Yu forced Shun, Tang Fangji, King Wu cut the Xuan, these four kings, the ministers killed their monarchs. (To be continued......)
