Chapter 326 - The Alba Team (11)
That's right, under the joint "persuasion" of Zhu Changzuo and Du Duhu, Zeng Hongyi finally locked the initiator of the rumors about himself on his cousin, Wang Yuele of Doroan County!
First of all, Yue Le is a well-deserved nobleman, and it is by no means as simple as honorific. Hongyi's cousin is the fourth son of Nu~Erhachi's seventh son Abatai, his father Abatai has never been an emperor, so naturally he can only be regarded as a "royal nobleman", and it is appropriate to call Yue Le a "nobleman" instead of an "emperor"!
Secondly, after Yue Le was in the blessing of the pro-political system, as the emperor's right-hand man, he was promoted to the title of "King of Doroan County" from "Beizi Shangshan Gong", and his role and status became increasingly prominent, and the Prince of Jin Feng was just around the corner. Most importantly, he is a strong supporter and executor of a series of "reform" measures of Fulin, and a "leader of the reformers" who take it for granted!
Again, Xiao Xuanye's birth, the one who was most affected was indeed Yue Le himself. He has to go from being a policymaker and is in danger of gradually degenerating into a policymaker. On the surface, many of the little guy's motions, after being approved by Emperor Fulin, have evolved into specific measures for Shunzhi's governance, but Xiao Xuanye has also changed step by step from a stinky boy to an "invisible leader" of the reformers. So much so that recently, there has been a momentum to replace Yue Le - Yue Le is the leader of the Zongren Mansion for the left sect of the Zongren Mansion, and the three-year-old Xuan Ye has actually become the right Zongzheng of the Zongren Mansion and also leads the errand of the Imperial Servants Bureau. In time, it is only natural that the emperor's son will replace the emperor's brother!
Finally, he said that Yue Le was a reformist. That was all the definition of later generations, which more or less affected Hongyi's judgment. But at least in the current twelve years of Shunzhi, it is only repeated in Hongyi's heart, and no one nowadays has such a clear understanding. In the eyes of the world, whether it is a reformist or a conservative, they can only name a difference in policy, and cannot artificially draw a line. To draw a line, at best, it is divided into the so-called "imperial faction" and "post-faction". Even so, Yue Le looked at it by the standards of people in the political arena at that time. The difference between the two factions of the emperor and queen is not very clear in him. And this is also one of the important reasons why Yue Le can be like a fish in water and meet the source left and right:
Yu Emperor Fulin, he is a brother who can be relied on, and he thinks about himself everywhere.
Yu Empress Dowager Bumu Butai, he is now the most noble person in the clan. and justice in the world. Therefore, it is also attracted and valued.
But it's here in Little Baylor Ye Xuanye. Yue Le has become the helper and executor of many of his policies, isn't he too unserious about others?
Besides, Hongyi suddenly thought. Many historians in later generations inferred that when Fu was critically ill, remembering that his two surviving sons were still young, he was very afraid of the repetition of the scene of "orphans and widows, lords and young ministers" in his past, and another Dolgon-like figure would cause trouble in the government, so he even thought of a so-called "brother to brother" according to the customs of his hometown in Manchuria.
What Hongyi noticed was that about this matter, there was never any statement made by Yue Le, who was already a prince at that time, in the official history! The only thing that is well documented is that when the later "Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang" made the decision to succeed Xuan Ye, she first asked all the ministers to wait for the new emperor to ascend the throne in the Forbidden City, that is, all the officials in Beijing were detained in the palace! Before this, Yue Le was ordered by Fulin to wait by the side day and night, and he had the potential to wait for the edict to ascend the throne at any time. How could he not have left a word?
If the speculation of himself, Zhu Changzuo and others is correct, Yue Le is indeed very suspicious: on the surface, he is also the pillar of the imperial faction and the leader of the reformist faction, Yue Le should not poison Xiao Xuanye. But as one of the highest enjoyers of power, he has a primal incentive to frame his nephew. Because once a young and old nephew becomes an emperor in the future, it is much more difficult to control than a nephew who is ignorant, has lost a glance, and only knows how to fight and kill! What's more, the former is much more difficult than the latter!
If Du Duhu and Zhu Changzuo, as officials of the Zongren Mansion, can point the mastermind behind this matter to Yue Le, it will show that Yue Le, the king of Anjun, is more suspicious, and it is more reasonable to suspect him. But as Zhu Changzuo said, now you can only make an inference, and it is difficult to conclude without evidence.
Of course, we should not listen to biased beliefs, nor should we have our own opinions and analysis. As a result, Hongyi had already framed the "main master" who had "demonized" himself in the matter of crossing over to Ao Bai or Yue Le, and was more inclined to Yue Le!
Just when Hongyi was thinking to himself, Du Duhu spoke up again:
"My lord, the ministers can take this opportunity to take the initiative to jointly go to the court, and talk about how you managed the government with a young body. After all, in the past few days, what we have seen with our own eyes, what you have said and done, can be called a model of courtiers, it is really a blessing for my Qing Dynasty and a blessing for the country! As for the rumors in the market recently, we naturally don't have to pay attention to it, this is the so-called matter-of-fact. ”
"What Master Du said is extremely true! Not only that, but we can also quote a few more examples of prodigies in China for thousands of years, to show that the miracle of our right Zongzheng is not groundless, in fact, there have been such magical things since ancient times! Zhu Changzuo on the side also extended it, and suddenly opened up everyone's ideas.
"Yes, there are countless examples of thousands of years of civilization in China! Ha Lu Ha, Cloud Gate is easy to judge! After a little thought about it at this time, there were Xiang Lu [xiàngtuó] who was seven years old and became a Confucius teacher[1], Gan Luo was twelve years old and was the secretary of Qin, Cai Wenji was six years old and could distinguish string sounds, and Cao Chong was six years old and knew how to call an elephant. Why all the fuss? Ha Lu Ha! Du Duhu was in a good mood and said four examples of ancient prodigies in one breath.
"What's that? Adults, if you study the historical books, you can still say a few things, such as: the fairy boy Yuanjia, Zhuge Liang who has a clever plan to come out of the village, Sima Guang who broke the urn to save friends, Lao Tzu who talked about fortune and misfortune when he was young, Meng Weijun who enlightened his father with words, Fang Xuanling who knew the overall situation at a young age, Li He who was a genius who surprised Han Yu, or Dongfang Shuo in the Han Dynasty who could secretly recite "History of Wei" at the age of two. Liu Xiaoqiu of the Southern Dynasty can write at the age of six, Yin Keng can recite poems at the age of four and give a thousand words a day, Xu Ling can write and write at the age of seven and be involved in history, Luo Bin Wang wrote and recited the poem "Song of the Goose" at the age of six, Wang Bo wrote a well-conceived article at the age of five, often shocked the four, and wrote the "Hanshu Note Finger Flaw" at the age of 8, Yang Jiong was a prodigy at the age of nine, and then awarded the school scholar, and Li Bai was able to recite the "Liujia" at the age of five. When he was ten years old, he had already read the book of the hundred schools of thought and so on. And so on and so forth, hahaha! [For many prodigy deeds here, please refer to the public chapter - "The Prodigy in Chinese History" of the "Outer Chapter"]
Zhu Changzuo on the side also showed the flirtatious sentiment of a literati. It doesn't matter if little Baylor can understand it all. I said a few more in one breath.
didn't wait for Hongyi to confirm the literary and historical knowledge of his previous life one by one. Du Duhu laughed and praised loudly:
"Good! Good! What a 'Meng Weijun who enlightened his father with words', this allusion is exquisite, exquisite! ”
The two literati are really singing and harmonizing, complementing each other. It's a lot of fun to quote scriptures! Hongyi really knows the things of Meng Weijun, and he has to admire that this allusion is indeed appropriate, if they use it in the recital for the emperor's blessing-
Meng Weijun's real name is Tian Wen, and he is the son of Tian Ying, the prime minister of Qi State. Tian Ying has more than 40 sons, Tian Wen was born to Tian Ying's concubine, born on the fifth day of the fifth month of May. Since the local custom believed that the baby born on this day would be bad for the father, Tian Ying asked Tian Wen's mother to take the baby and throw it away, and told her, "Don't feed him." But Tian Wen's mother still secretly supported him.
On Tian Wen's fifth birthday, Tian Ying discovered this secret, was furious, and said to his mother angrily: "I asked you to throw this child away, and you dare to raise him, what is this for?" Before Tian Wen's mother could answer, Tian Wen immediately kowtowed, and then asked Tian Ying rhetorically: "Why don't you let you raise a child born in May?" Tian Ying replied: "A child born in May will be as tall as a portal when he grows up, and he will harm his father and mother." Tian Wen said: "Is man's destiny granted by God? Or is it granted by the portal? Tian Ying didn't know how to answer, so she was silent. Tian Wen continued: "If it is granted by heaven, why should you worry? If it is granted by the portal, then just increase the height of the portal, who can grow that tall! Tian Ying was speechless, so he reprimanded: "Don't say it!" ”
After a while, Tian Wen took the opportunity to ask his father, "What is the son's son's name?" Tian Ying replied, "Call your grandson." Tian Wen then asked, "What is the name of the grandson's grandson?" Tian Ying replied: "It's called Xuansun." Tian Wen asked again: "What is the name of the great-grandson's grandson?" Tian Ying said: "I don't know what to do. Tian Wen said: "You have been in charge of the power as the prime minister of the Qi country, and now there have been three generations of kings, but the territory of the Qi country has not expanded, but your private family has accumulated a wealth of ten thousand gold, and you can't see a virtuous person under your door." I have heard that there will be a general in the court of the general, and there will be a prime minister in the court of the prime minister. Now your concubine can trample on silk and satin, and the Magi cannot wear coarse cloth shorts; Your male servants and slave girls have leftover food and meat soup, and the Magi don't even have enough chaff. Now you are still accumulating more and more of your savings, and you want to leave it to future generations who cannot even be called, but you forget that the country is losing power among the princes day by day. I'm very strange in private. ”
Since then, Tian Ying has changed his attitude towards Tian Wen, valued him, and let him preside over housekeeping and receive guests. The number of guests continued to increase, and Tian Wen's reputation spread to the vassal states. All the vassal states sent people to ask Tian Ying to establish Tian Wen as the crown prince, and Tian Ying agreed. After Tian Ying died, he pursued Jing Guo Jun. Tian Wen really inherited Tian Ying's title in Xue Yi. Tian Wen later became a well-known politician with 3,000 diners. This is Meng Weijun.
The reason why this example is used well is because the young son's words woke up the confused father and abandoned the strange theory and ignorance of false rumors! Hongyi was about to give a high-five, but someone on the side interjected.
"Are you talking about Chinese prodigies? Does the supernatural boy in the Western countries count? ”
Hongyi, Du Duhu and others hurriedly turned around, and it turned out to be Yuri, the "most learned" in Alba Niulu!
"Oh? Will Western barbarians also have prodigies? Please also ask Lord Right Zongzheng to allow this military master to say a word or two, and we can take this opportunity to broaden our knowledge, ha, ha! Du Duhu was very disdainful, if it weren't for Xiao Xuanye's presence, it is estimated that he would have been cold-eyed.
This time, Hongyi should pay more attention to Yuri's follow-up examples. The reason is that Confucian scholars such as Du Duhu are self-contained and arrogant.
"Ha Luha, Lord Du, if the West is a barren and barbaric land, then where does Tang Lao Marfa come from? How can he have a place in the current court? It's okay for me to hear about it. Yuri, you name it! Hongyi smiled and "refuted" Du Duhu's sentence, but paid great attention to the use of words.
"Huh!" Yuri seemed to be a little stimulated, and with some indignation in his tone, he finally spoke:
"What the slave is going to say is the wizard of the Pennine Peninsula in Tesia, who just died, named Galileo? Galile! ”
Okay, great, just use this example! The great astronomer Galileo! Hongyi almost jumped up and cheered!

"A limerick poem. Hidden Head
Reading literature and reading history is only a long breath
I was saying that there was an opportunity back then
The layout is a long-cherished wish
It's hard to come and go
Get up and spend a hundred years
Point out the suffering and diseases of the world
The edge of the town was razed to the sea
Wen'an Wuding tears of joy
[1] Xiang Lu was a prodigy of the Lu State in the Spring and Autumn Period, with far-reaching knowledge, and was a teacher of the present and future generations, and was respected as the "Holy Prince". According to ancient records, the good-looking Xiang Lu was playing with his companions to build the city wall. They piled up the soil on the road and built a small square city, and Xiang Lu sat in it, like a "city man", leisurely. At this time, Confucius happened to pass by in a car, and the "city" built by Xiang Lu and them blocked Confucius's way. When Confucius saw this, he immediately asked Xiang Lu, who was sitting in the city, "Child, why don't you avoid the car?" Xiao Xianglu did not panic and calmly responded: "From the past to the present, I have only heard that cars avoid the city, where have I heard of the city avoiding cars?" Confucius was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's your name?" The child replied, "My name is Xiang Lu." In order to save face, Confucius came up with a series of difficult questions: "Your mouth is very powerful, I want to test you - what mountain has no stones?" What water is there no fish in it? What door doesn't have a latch? What car doesn't have wheels? What cow doesn't give birth to calves? What horses don't give birth? What knife does not have a ring? What fire has no smoke? What man doesn't have a wife? What woman doesn't have a husband? What days are too short? What days are too long? What tree doesn't have branches? What city is there no officials? Who doesn't have an alias? After asking, Confucius stared at Xiang Lu and smiled. Xiang Lu thought for a while and said, "Listen—there are no stones on the earth mountain, no fish in the well water, no latch for the door without a door, no wheels for the sedan chair carried by people, no calves for mud oxen, no foals for wooden horses, no rings on machetes, no smoke for fireflies, no wives for fairies, no husbands for fairies, short days in winter and long days in summer, dead trees without branches, no officials in empty cities, and no alias for children. Confucius was shocked, this child was so wise! Xiang Lu didn't allow Confucius to think too much at this time, and asked him: "Now it's my turn to test you - what can geese and ducks float on the water?" What are the wild geese and cranes good at chirping? What are the pines and cypresses evergreen in winter and summer? Confucius replied, "Geese and ducks can float on the water because their feet are square; Wild geese and cranes are good at chirping because of their long necks; Pines and cypresses are evergreen in winter and summer because they have a solid heart. "That's not right!" Xiang Lu said loudly, "Turtles and turtles can float on the water, is it because of their feet? Frogs are good at chirping, is it because they have long necks? Is it because they are strong in the stem? Confucius felt that this child was so knowledgeable that he couldn't even argue with him, so he had to arch his hands and say in a loud voice: "The future is terrible, the future is terrible!" "I took a detour in my car. In later generations, there were sayings of "Confucius around the city" and "Confucius in the three dilemmas of Xiang Lu". (To be continued......)
