Chapter 49: The Old Cicada Hisses for the Wheels (4)
This allusion used by Xiang Yu is the story of Qin Xiaogong during the Warring States Period.
At that time, the son of the prince was convicted of attacking the new law, and he should be punished according to the law. Qin Xiaogong didn't want to destroy the majesty of Qin Fa, and he was reluctant to give up this son, so Zuihou or Shang Ying could only round the field by himself, saying: The prince committed such a crime, which is actually the fault of the master and the master.
Zuihou, two of King Huiwen's masters, Gongsun Jia and Gongzi Qian, had their noses cut off as punishment for the crown prince's offense. Because Gongzi Qian is a close branch of the Qin State, surnamed Zhao, and has a higher status, later generations only take him out as a representative to talk about things.
"This is to compare the Holy Lord to a filial piety, to His Royal Highness to King Huiwen, and to compare himself to the pious son." Liu Ruoyu pointed out one by one.
In this way, he raised a big moral banner. Zhu Cihong spit out four words: "Heartbroken." ”
In the Ming Dynasty, the general public opinion believed that the first emperor of Zulong was a tyrant and the Qin state was an unrighteous country, but the opinion of Qin Xiaogong was basically positive. Because the Qin State was able to become a Warring States in the world from a Xirong barbarian country in one fell swoop, it was precisely the previous Qin Xiaogong who appointed Shang Yang to change the law.
Compared with Song Confucianism's refusal to relax the ancestral system, the scholars of the Ming Dynasty had a much more relaxed attitude towards changing the law. Therefore, Hongzhi, Longqing, and Wanli have all undergone great changes, but there has been no so-called trouble between the old and new parties.
Although the image of King Qin Huiwen is not as vivid as that of his father Xiaogong, he is a man who is a man of letters; The capture of Hexi, Shangjun, Bashu, and Hanzhong opened up the passage to the Central Plains, which was for martial arts. It can be said that he is still the image of a wise lord.
The prince said "madness", but it was because Xiang Yu classified all other officials who might oppose this statement into the category of "Shang Ying".
Indeed, Shang Ying was not a likable person in Confucian society.
Although Han Fei and Li Si, who collected the great achievements of the Legalists, were both disciples of the great Confucian Xunqing, Shang Ying, as the banner of the Legalist Theses, has always been extremely controversial and has a mixed reputation. His merits cannot be erased, but such an act as "killing eight hundred times a day and turning red in Weishui" cannot be accepted by Shi Ru.
Unless there is such an eloquence as Zhang Juzheng, who does not care about things and discussions, no one wants to be called "Shang Ying".
If you don't want to be a businessman, then you can only follow his Xiang Shuixin's train of thought and make meritorious contributions to the prince's close ministers; or sit on the sidelines; Or, there is only one way to attack the prince directly.
Attacking the crown prince is such a stupid thing as an absolute red line that cannot be touched by the officials of the emperor.
Even if they want to change the crown prince, they can only attack the people around the prince like Xiang Yu, or wait for the opportunity to support King Yong and King Ding. Of the remaining two options, either they will become allies attacking the close ministers of the East Palace, or they will only be able to stare dryly and will never become the crown prince's person. In terms of the art of war, Xiang Yu's stroke can be described as a reinforcement from the surrounding point, and ordinary Chinese people have no way to break the move.
"What do you think?" Zhu Cihong still asked from low to top unhurriedly.
Wu Weiye naturally hoped that the crown prince could put up a banner and fight with Xiang Yu in a dignified manner, completely washing away his humiliation. Although he didn't have a good relationship with Xiang Yu, he kindly agreed to Xiang Yu's request and connected him to the prince, who knew that he would sell him before he could stay overnight, and he was also crowned with the hat of "famous sinner", what a hate!
As for the Filthy Palace Forbidden, what is this!
Tianxia Zong Qian Qianyi, in broad daylight, married the famous prostitute Liu Rus. Isn't this even more intolerable in terms of etiquette? It even violated the "Da Ming Law...... And I haven't even spoken to those female officials! As a talented man in the south of the Yangtze River, Wu Weiye only felt that this accusation was ridiculous and absurd, and it was really the madness that the prince said!
But......
"The guards are indeed too arrogant to kill the officials of the imperial court. The minister thought that since this matter was caused by the guard, it was better to hand it over to the judge. Wu Weiye said.
Liu Ruoyu shook his head slightly, and said secretly: You are eating the prince's rice and smashing the prince's bowl! Alas, if the prince does this, who will listen to his orders in the future? Could it be that in this field now, there are still people who don't know that the prince is a drunkard and does not mean to drink! What the prince wants is military power!
"Your Highness......" Zhou Jing called out earnestly.
"Say." Zhu Cihong looked at this cousin, hoping that he could say a sentence or two that could reach his ears.
"You can't deliver it!" Zhou Jing shouted.
The gloom on Zhu Cihong's face finally dissipated a lot, and he encouraged: "What do you think?" ”
"Secretly executed the guard, and only said that he had died of the plague." Zhou Jing said confidently: "In this way, His Highness will not be implicated!" ”
Get lost!
Zhu Cihong took a strong breath and finally swallowed the word.
This is how things are, and it is often difficult to achieve them. The current new guards of the East Palace are still a seedling, and if they want to grow up quickly and go straight to the sky, they are indispensable to Zhou Jing and these old people. And these old people are still willing to do things obediently, because they still have a hope for "from the dragon".
Once Zhu Cihong and Zhou Jing turn their faces and completely cut off their hopes, all kinds of sabotage in the future will be relatively light, and even heavier, I am afraid that they will deliberately make black hands and stumble.
"Liu Ban, what do you see?" Zhu Cihong turned to Liu Ruoyu.
"Your Highness," Liu Ruoyu muttered, "No matter how we deal with this matter, we are all guilty of it...... The old minister is stupid, and he really can't think of how to deal with it properly, why don't he go back to the palace to explore the tone of the saint? ”
"I'm not a three-year-old child, and when I got into a fight, I ran back to my father and mother to complain." The prince smiled and said, "But it's just that Liu Ban has to talk about it." Wu Weiye, you go and draft a petition to the effect that I was negligent in disciplining, so that this kind of thing happened. I will order the guards of the East Palace not to go out and strictly discipline them. ”
Wu Weiye felt that this did not seem to be enough to show the sincerity of repentance, but people were asking for a price, and the prince sat on the ground to pay back, which he could still understand.
Liu Ruoyu was greatly surprised, this is not the character of the prince!
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince keeps saying that he will hang "dignified and upright" outside, but in fact, the city is so deep and meticulous that I am afraid that no one can see through it! If anyone really believes that the prince is a person who only knows "uprightness", I am afraid that death is not far away.
And I don't know if Weishenme will die until I die!
"Lee Jung-yoon." Zhu Cihong suddenly shouted.
Li Mingrui, who had been attending the hearing, was so familiar that he almost forgot his existence. Hearing the prince call him, he hurriedly got up and saluted, and responded, "The minister is here." ”
"You have a meritorious report on this matter, otherwise it will be ugly when your father's decree comes down." Zhu Cihong said with a smile: "The so-called one guest does not bother the two masters, I still have something I want to ask Li Zhongyun for help." ”
"Obey the order!" Li Mingrui offended the prince last time and has been uneasy. Thinking about it in hindsight, the prince sent himself away with the trivial matter of "working hours", which is really a bit embarrassing. However, he is a man with brains, and he will definitely not make a second mistake.
This act of announcing oneself before hearing the order is obviously a vote of loyalty.
"I asked Bixia to allow my female official to use it externally," Zhu Cihong said: "The key is one sentence: in the current autumn of crisis, when things are used to the best of their abilities, how can men and women avoid it?" The emperor's ancestral system, except for the eunuchs available in the palace, other wealthy families cannot use eunuchs, so are they iron-clad inner houses? Is it filth that the handmaid and the foreign servant are handed over? It doesn't make sense. ”
Li Zhongyun's eyelids jumped: The prince's words are really to the point, who in the world does not have a hand over between men and women? Even if the access control is strict in those national families, there are healthy women and foreign servants who deal with things, can it be said that it is **? Thinking of the time when the prince was lecturing, he didn't seem to have such a sharp insight into the Five Classics, and I am afraid that the prince was really not ambitious.
"The minister understands, he must hand it in before Xiang Yu goes to the book." Li Mingrui responded.
"Don't pass it in." Zhu Cihong shook his head slightly: "The General Administration Department wants to interrogate." You write it here, write it to Liu Ruoyu, and ask him to send it directly to the celebrant supervisor. ”
Li Mingrui's heart trembled: This is the prince's private statement! From now on, am I the prince's private minister? Isn't it a minister of the state anymore? Thinking of this subtle change in identity, Li Zhongyun felt a trace of loss and excitement in his heart, as if he saw a shortcut to his ambitions.
