"Brother Ziqi, what is this great etiquette? The younger brother has been in Jiazhou for a long time, and he doesn't hear anything outside the window, but it's the first time I've heard about it, and I hope Brother Ziqi will solve my doubts! Li You asked curiously.

"This" Qian Hua looked left and right, Li You saw this and hurriedly waved back left and right, until only the two of them and Xu Guang were left on the deck, Qian Hua said, "This matter is about Your Majesty, so you must be cautious." ”

So Qian Hua began to talk about the most ferocious topic of the quarrel in the court of the Great Wei Dynasty in the past two years, "The emperor did not leave an heir when he died last year!" Fortunately, the emperor had already made preparations before, and took His Majesty into the palace from Prince Zhao's house to teach carefully, and before his death, he made an edict ordering His Majesty to inherit the throne! ”

"Although this matter is rare, it is also reasonable, His Majesty followed the emperor to deal with the government after moving from the palace of King Zhao, which was praised by the ministers; After succeeding to the throne, the queen mother supported and the ministers were convinced, and they originally saw that this dynasty was about to prosper, but they didn't expect a big incident! Qian Hua smiled bitterly and shook his head and continued to explain, "In the second year of His Majesty's accession to the throne, the edict honored the ceremony of his biological father King Zhao, and the prime minister Yang Jiefu and the imperial historian Jia Cheng advocated calling the first emperor the imperial examination and King Zhao the imperial uncle; And Taiwei British Gongqiu Yuande and others advocated calling King Zhao the imperial examination, and the important ministers of the court were divided into two factions, and they quarreled! ”

"Prime Minister Yang Jiefu, Imperial Historian Jia Cheng and others believe that since His Majesty is from a small sect to the main sect, he should respect orthodoxy, and take the first emperor as the imperial examination, King Zhao changed his name to 'Imperial Uncle Examination Zhao Dawang', and his mother Concubine Jiang was 'Imperial Uncle and Mother Xingguo Concubine', and called himself 'nephew emperor' to his biological parents during the sacrifice, and the second son of King Zhao was the heir of King Zhao, and the main worship of King Zhao."

"And Taiwei British Gongqiu Yuande and others think that King Zhao is not only His Majesty's biological father, but also should be called the 'Imperial Examination', this is human common sense, Your Majesty's move is really even filial piety!"

"However, the palace was quite dissatisfied with this, especially after the Queen Mother heard that His Majesty planned to canonize her biological mother, she was even more worried that her status would not be guaranteed, so she personally drafted an edict, severely accusing Qiu Yuande and others, thinking that it was inappropriate to call King Zhao the imperial examination."

"Eh, is the court really arguing about this?" Li You was a little unconvinced, which reminded him of the dispute between Pu Yi when Yingzong of the Great Song Dynasty succeeded to the throne, and the case of the great etiquette when Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty succeeded to the throne! These two events are the same as this matter, both of which are caused by the emperor's lack of heirs and the successor's title to his biological father.

It's just that the discussion during the time of Yingzong of the Great Song Dynasty was not a simple dispute over etiquette and law, but a competition between the old and new forces of the imperial court; The same was true when Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty succeeded to the throne, and Emperor Jiajing expelled Yang Tinghe and other old ministers with the help of the Great Rites Discussion, and formed a government pattern that he could control headed by Zhang Xuan, and firmly held the imperial power in his own hands.

Sure enough, Qian Hua's answer was exactly what Li You thought, "Previously, the emperor was weak and sick, and the government was mostly in the hands of the ministers headed by Yang Jiefu, what they hoped was that His Majesty could also rule like the emperor and hand over the government to them!" Therefore, I don't want to see His Majesty's move to serve King Zhao as the imperial examination! ”

Li You nodded and said that he understood that such a move made Yang Jiefu and others use filial piety as an excuse to ask the emperor to follow the way of the emperor in danger of falling through! Think about it, if the emperor is really willing to act according to the ideas of the previous emperor, how can he stubbornly ask his biological father to be given the honorific title of 'imperial examination'? This means that he does not very much agree with some of the practices of the previous emperor.

"And a few years ago, the emperor handed over the government to Yang Jiefu and others, this Yang Jiefu was born in a family, and there was a lot of suppression on us nobles! Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne and has the potential to take back the government, how can the British prince not support it? Qian Hua only revealed the mystery at this time, it turned out to be the emperor's family affair on the surface, but in fact it was a dispute between the two factions of the family who controlled the government and the nobles who held military power.

"I see!" Li You let out a long sigh, he didn't expect that he didn't want to find trouble, but the trouble took the initiative to find himself, presumably he was going to be forced to be forced into the team after entering Beijing, right? If the team is wrong, he will be in a very difficult situation!

Well, isn't there three factions in the court? The family faction and the noble faction have already appeared, so what are the Hanmen factions doing? And if you talk about your background, your father-in-law seems to be from a poor sect?

"Most of the Hanmen are from the imperial examination, how can they, scholars, look down on us martial arts families?" Qian Hua shook his head disdainfully, presumably he didn't think much of the other two factions, right? After that, he looked at Li You sympathetically, "Although Master Zhou was born in the Runan Zhou family, he was a side branch of the distant branch, and he had many disagreements with the long branch when he was young!" It is all on his own that he has today's achievements, so he is closer to the Hanmen faction in the court, Brother Xian, I am afraid that your life after entering Beijing will not be easy! ”

Li You suddenly had a sense of absurdity, what kind of world is this! The people have suffered many natural disasters and man-made disasters, have been displaced, and life and death are only in the blink of an eye, but these bigwigs in the court are arguing regardless of it! Even he, a person who is out of the way, will inevitably be forced to stand in line, and his marriage will be in turmoil!

"Hey! How can parents disobey their morals? Your Majesty's respect for King Zhao as the 'imperial examination' is right! "I sighed in my heart, but this team still has to stand, since the nobles of Wuxun are on His Majesty's side, then I must also follow the team! Li You is not stupid, he knows that the nobles of Wuxun are his biggest backers, and they can't do without their support if he wants to inherit the title smoothly! And if he stupidly ran to support the family faction, the martial arts faction would definitely be furious because of his rebellion, and the family faction would not really accept him.

Now that a decision has been made, there is no need to hide it, it is better to say it earlier! Qian Hua became more affectionate to him when he heard this, and pointed to the displaced people on both sides of the canal along the way and scolded the two factions of the family and the poor family for being incompetent, and only fighting for power and profit in the court but not doing anything to govern the place!

Li You also echoed again and again, from what he saw along the way, there are really few places where the people live better than Jiazhou, which is of course due to the old lord's compassion for the people, but the corruption and incompetence of these local officials are also obvious.

Drinking and scolding, it wasn't long before evening it was time for the fleet to anchor again! The boatman leaned the boat on the dock, Li You and Qian Hua came down from the deck, and the carriages and others prepared for them had been waiting on the dock for a long time.

"Master, give me something to eat!" The two had not gone far when the displaced people who had gathered on the dock saw that they were brightly dressed and immediately gathered around them.

Looking at the homeless people who were stopped by the guards, Li You's heart swelled with a trace of unbearability.
