Chapter 30: Debate

After Lu Bingdang listened to Meng Xueqing's report, Ha Lu and Ha Da Lu laughed, he had nothing to say about Yang Tinghe and Zhu Houxi, an old stubborn and a small stubborn, the two of them were fierce against each other, I am afraid that even eight horses will not be able to pull it back. In fact, if you think about it quietly, the development of things to this point is nothing more than the two of them are driven by their stubborn personalities, and have come to the stage of the struggle for high-level political power, and things have developed to the point where it is difficult to turn back, which is not only a dispute of etiquette, but also a struggle for the control of the country.

The thing is probably like this, before Lu Bing left, let Zhu Houyu get closer to the new Jinshi, Zhu Houyu did a good job, and left a reputation for being a sympathetic courtier among the new Jinshi, and the young but kind appearance made these scholars who saw the sky for the first time very excited, and their hearts were yearning, and they couldn't wait to give up immediately by sacrificing their bodies for the country.

One of these people is named Zhang Xuan, who is also quite bold, and although his wisdom is not excellent, he has a profound study of etiquette. After Lu Bing's investigation, he praised Zhang Zhang's courage and hard work, because Zhang Xuan took the Jinshi exam seven times, and it was not until the eighth time, that is, Zhang Xuan was forty-seven years old. According to rumors, Zhang Xuan once gave up after falling off the list for the seventh time, and after being promoted, he wanted to be an alternate official, but the imperial history surnamed Xiao calculated with him once, saying that Zhang Xuan would be successful in the exam again, and inferred: "Three years in the Jinshi, another three years of sudden expensive." ”

Zhang Xuan died as a live horse doctor, anyway, he took the exam so many times, and it was not bad this time, so he took the eighth exam three years later, and sure enough, he won the exam again, that year was the fifteenth year of Zhengde, and the palace exam should have been held this year, but there was a moth in it. Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao's palace test is the emperor himself every time, in line with etiquette and conventions, Zhu Houzhao is not messing around in this regard, but it is also very regular, but at that time Zhu Houzhao was in the south, so it was delayed to the sixteenth year of Zhengde, and the new emperor Zhu Houyu was in charge. Zhu Houyu didn't want to accept these jinshi, and wanted to let the powerful minister Yang Tinghe preside, but as soon as he heard Lu Bing's protégé of the Son of Heaven, Zhu Houyu had an epiphany of Confucianism's ideas and traditions, so he personally assessed the jinshi, not only the palace test, but also a unified test for ordinary jinshi, and Zhang Xuan became one of Zhu Houxi's first batch of thorough protégés of the Son of Heaven.

Despite this, there was no danger in the end, and I still won the jinshi. Although Zhang Xuan finally became a jinshi, he was only a second-class jinshi, still in his seventies. If you want to suddenly become more expensive with such achievements, it is probably a fool's dream, but Zhang Xuan is not discouraged, because there is a precedent in the previous dynasty.

During the Jianwen period, there was a show named Yang Shan, and later by chance, Zhu Di's battle of Jingjing became the Honglu Temple of Jiupin. As a result, with his conscientiousness and eloquence, he slowly became the temple secretary of Honglu Temple, and he was enthusiastic and courageous and brave enough to fight the barbarism, and welcomed back the captured Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen from the hands of Wara. In Zhang Xuan's opinion, this is suddenly expensive, Xiucai can do this part, let alone his own Jinshi? Suddenly, I was born with the pride and ambition that I was born to be useful.

Then Zhang Xuan became an apprentice jinshi, which is the so-called Guanzheng. The new science and technology scholars can only be officially appointed after an internship in various places, and during this period, these new science and technology scholars can be screened and inspected to see if there are unsuitable people, or people who fish in troubled waters. It is said that as long as you don't die by yourself, the problem should not be big, and you can become an official, and the next thing is to be clever and follow the rules in some things, give gifts to superiors and subordinates and wait for days slowly, waiting for promotion and lucky promotion.

But Zhang Xuan was unwilling to be lonely, he knew about Yang Tinghe and Zhu Houxi's struggle for the title of Xingxian king, so he wrote an excerpt and handed it over, called "Debate and Etiquette".

Lu Bing conducted the investigation through the secret personnel left by Jiang Bin, and it was naturally not difficult to get this recital that was openly recited in the court, in fact, not to mention this, even the excerpt that Zhu Houxi had just received on his front foot, Lu Bing on his back foot could basically get the original text to copy. It's only now that Lu Bing understands that the emperor's work is really not done by people, and the mountains of folds can't be read even if they are reviewed non-stop, but fortunately, with the help of Meng Xueqing, he can divide it properly, and know what is important and what is not. And Lu Bing is incapacitated, and he mostly lies on the bed to watch the excerpts, but he has time.

These secret personnel are now reunited by Lu Bing, Jiang Bin did not hide it, these people are indeed very efficient, and it is no wonder that Jiang Bin can dominate the dynasty for a period of time. And Lu Bing only gave them two jobs, one of which was that no matter whether it was useful or not, as long as it was information, it would be reported, and they would analyze it themselves, and they could not judge the priority without authorization and conceal it. Second, secretly investigate the cause of Zhu Houzhao's death, this matter is urgent, if there is news, it must be sent immediately, there must be no delay, and everything must be done first.

Lu Bing took Zhang Xuan's "Argument and Etiquette" and read it carefully, and found that the argument of the article was very clear, roughly divided into three parts, and every word was bloodless, which broke Yang Tinghe's insistence at once, and gave a powerful counterattack. It can be seen that Zhang Xuan is very good at etiquette, so he pulled Yang Tinghe from the big aspect of Jiangshan Sheji to the etiquette that he is good at. Lu Bing thought of a sentence, don't let others pull you to the same IQ as him, and defeat you from the level he is good at, it seems that this is a truth.

There are three points of view in the "Debate and Etiquette": First, His Majesty's heir ascended to the great treasure, that is, he proposed to pursue the holy examination, and in his name, he welcomed the Virgin Mary and raised her, and was sincere and filial.

As soon as Emperor Zhu Houxi ascended to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, he wanted to get a good name for his biological father Xingxian Wang, and then wanted to repay his mother's nurturing kindness, which is an act of great filial piety and should be respected by people. In other words, Yang Tinghe and others did not let the emperor call Xingxian Wang as the imperial examination, and did not let Zhu Houxi's mother Jiang become the empress dowager, then it was to make the emperor unfilial and trap the emperor in injustice. This hat is very fastened, and no one dares to bear it, so it immediately occupies a leading role in speech, and Zhang Xuan also successfully took the lead in the first place.

The second point of view: a strong counterattack put forward by Yang Tinghe, the Han Emperor Song Yingzong is also the two examples of Ren Uncle as the emperor's exam, first of all, the situation of this person is different from that of the saint, the two of them were inherited to the emperor by their biological father before his death, and they belonged to the order of their parents. And today's saint Zhu Houxi is not, the king of Xingxian has passed away, so there is no problem with the succession, and if there is no succession of the son of the deceased, the parents should not be able to follow the law. Besides, King Xingxian only has his only son, Zhu Houxi, if Zhu Houxi is passed to Emperor Hongzhi, then the branch of King Xingxian will be broken, and then the son of a vassal king will have to be succeeded to King Xingxian, and King Xingxian will go, which is another violation of etiquette.

More importantly, Zhu Houxi's ascension to the throne was based on the elder brother of the emperor's ancestor, not the succession of the father to the son. In this theory, doesn't it regard the prestige of the imperial court as child's play, and it also shows that Zhu Houxi is not orthodox to the throne?

What's more, Emperor Han Ai and Song Yingzong are really ominous. Emperor Han Ai died at the age of twenty-five, and Song Yingzong died at the age of thirty-six, so let the saint Zhu Houxi learn from these two people, is it to let the emperor learn the short life of the two? !

Lu Bing had already clapped his hands and praised when he saw the second point, and when he saw the third point, he suddenly laughed loudly, because Zhang Zhang's mention was too ruthless, Zhang Xuan only wrote one sentence in the third point of "Debate and Etiquette": Now the Queen Mother is close to the capital, if it is not for the Queen Mother to enter the capital, can you kneel down if it is not for the Queen Mother to enter Beijing?

This is really amazing, if Zhu Houxi's mother, Mrs. Jiang, cannot be called the queen mother, she is just a princess, then she must kneel when she sees the emperor. But where in the world is there a reason for a mother to kneel down for her son, this is a big problem, Yang Tinghe has to accept the recruitment, and he has to accept the recruitment if he does not accept the recruitment.

After reading it, Lu Bing immediately ordered his subordinates to invite Zhang Xuan to come to the mansion to talk, and now Lu Bing's position is still the deputy Qianhu before the trip, and it is said that this is just a middle-level officer. Although Zhang Xuan has a lower position, he belongs to Wenchen, and it is said that there is no reason to come to see Lu Bing, but Lu Bing's fame is too great.

At such a critical moment in the ceremonial struggle, Lu Bing, as a close confidant of Zhu Houxi, Zhu Houxi's trust in Lu Bing is well known to the world, and I heard that the emperor often visits Lu Mansion in person. Such a person, if Zhang Xuan is restrained, Zhang Xuan will definitely fail, and then Yang Tinghe will die without a place to be buried, so Zhang Xuan did not dare to slack off, and immediately got up and went to Lu Mansion, full of hope that he could win Lu Bing to his side.

Lu Bing sat on a bamboo sedan chair and was carried by his subordinates at the door to greet him. Lu Bing nodded when he saw Zhang Xuan coming: "I just returned to Beijing not long ago, Lord Zhang is afraid that I don't know, I have been physically disabled due to some accidents, and it is really inconvenient to visit, so I specially invite Lord Zhang to come, and Lu Bing is here to confess." ”

Zhang Xuan saw that Lu Bing's hands and feet were weak and weak, and he was still wrapped in thick cotton yarn, and the grapevine knew that Lu Bing was injured, but he didn't know that he was so badly injured. Although he is more than 30 years older than Lu Bing, Lu Bing is above him in terms of position and connections, and he can still greet him at the door when he is seriously injured, which really gives him enough face. What's more, Zhang Xuan heard that Lu Bing has been closed since he was injured, and he has not even greeted the emperor, and now this practice naturally makes Zhang Xuan more confident and moved.

Zhang Xuan was invited into the hall, and Lu Bing smiled: "Lord Zhang is so literate." Zhang Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then knew that what Lu Bing said must be "Argument and Etiquette", but he didn't understand whether Lu Bing was deliberately ridiculed or really praised, so he could only smile embarrassedly and clenched his fists and said: "Lord Lu has said it, it is falsely praised, it is falsely praised." ”

Lu Bing shook his head and said: "It's not at all, you have the upper hand everywhere in the debate, I think Yang Tinghe will be forced by you if it goes on like this." ”

Zhang Xuan opened his mouth and didn't know how to answer, Lu Bing saw that he didn't speak, smiled and continued to speak: "I don't treat Master Zhang as an outsider, I have the right to call you Brother Zhang here." You see, Yang Tinghe's current prestige and power in the court are actually greater than the saints. You are a smart person, don't say that the emperor is the world, the imperial power is the first, these are all unrealistic now, those teenagers will think so, Brother Zhang's knowledge must not think so, right? It is an indisputable fact that when the power of the ministers is too great, the emperor cannot control it. Now as soon as your "Argument and Etiquette" was submitted, it was immediately despised by Yang Tinghe, I heard that he said who this person is, how can he have a part in the major affairs of the world? That's what Yang Tinghe means, right? ”

Zhang Xuan nodded, not feeling a little depressed, the emperor who had worked so hard to write "Argument and Etiquette" felt excited when he read it, but Yang Tinghe was disdainful, and he didn't fight with himself at all, how could he not let himself be depressed. If you don't accept this kind of call, it's like standing on the street and scolding, but the person being scolded ignores you at all, and it feels like a punch.

Lu Bing continued: "Actually, you can't say that, Yang Tinghe is a bit of a scoundrel who relies on the old man to act like this, in fact, he also knows that he can't argue with you on this issue, so he doesn't want to argue, so he does this, and this old man is also very thick and black." Lu Bing's mind is becoming more and more mature, and his vision of the problem is gradually becoming more and more profound: "But the status of the supporter of your article is too special, it is the saint today, it can be said that you have stirred up the emotions of the saint again, and often use your "Argument and Etiquette" to talk about things, Yang Tinghe has to take the call, so you still have a chance." In my opinion, if you follow your train of thought and follow your rhythm and you debate with Yang Tinghe, he will definitely lose. So what kind of situation does it lead to? Yang Tinghe will completely break with the saint, in all fairness, Yang Tinghe is a capable minister who governs the world, but his power is too great, so big that he is a little confused about whether he is a courtier or not, but I believe that he is loyal. Similarly, Yang Tinghe was still reigning at this time, which was a good thing for the country and the saints. So I don't want this to happen, so I hope I want Master Zhang."

"Xiaguan understands." Zhang Xuan got up and hugged his fists, at this moment his heart was disheartened, he thought he had found a new ally, but he didn't expect Lu Bing to stop him, speaking for Yang Tinghe everywhere, I am afraid that this battle will not be won.

Unexpectedly, Lu Bing suddenly smiled and said, "What does Master Zhang understand?" I see that you don't understand anything, I mean to ask you to write another letter and submit it, and continue to intensify the conflict between Shengshang and Yang Tinghe, so that they can fight to the core. ”

"Huh?" When Zhang Xuan heard this, he even thought that it was because he was old and had a problem with his ears, but Lu Bing nodded and said, "That's right, you heard it right, I mean make this scene more lively, I will help you fan the flames." ”
