Chapter 195: The Edict of Guilt

The concerts handed by the officials to the Department of General Administration had to be opened in public and copied in copy, and there were so many people who handled them that there were no secrets at all.

When the subordinate officials of the General Administration Department took Wei Chen's recital to the public hall and opened it in public, many officials and subordinates in the hall surrounded him.

Wei Chen's six yuan and the first, the literary talent is known all over the world, and the articles written by such figures, even if they are official documents, are also worth watching.

The first official stepped forward and read through the opening chapter, and couldn't help but sigh at the sky: "This is really the Wenzong of the world!" ”

Everyone was amazed.

No matter how good Wei Chen's article is, after all, he is still young and lacks sufficient background, so he is generally described by words like "if time comes, it will become a Wenzong", but this official directly called Wei Chen "the Wenzong of the world", which is a bit too exaggerated, right?

With curiosity, more people in the hall put down what they were doing and poured up to enjoy Wei Chen's recital.

Seeing that the crowd was getting more and more crowded, the official holding the piece simply read out the content of the piece on the spot.

After listening to this official read a few sentences, everyone realized that his previous praise of Wei Chen as "the current Wenzong" was not an exaggeration, but appropriate.

"If the country lives and dies for profit, will it not be avoided because of good and evil." , just this sentence is enough to be famous through the ages.

Many people took the paper and began to transcribe the chapters and verses, and after the transcription was completed, they lent it to others to copy it, and so on ten and ten hundreds.

Zhou Jizong, the general political envoy, said with emotion: "In the past Jin Dynasty, there was Li Lingbo's "Chen Qing Table", and now my big Zhou also has Wei Xingyun's "Chen Qing Table"! Those who read Li Lingbo's "Chen Qing Table" and do not fall into tears will not be filial, and those who read Wei Xingyun's "Chen Qing Table" without stirring in their chests will have no ambition! ”

Everyone agreed.

Wei Chen's essay with the same name as Li Mi's "Chen Qing Table" in the Western Jin Dynasty is not much inferior to its predecessors, and it is enough to be compared to one of them.

You must know that Li Mi's "Chen Qing Table" is as famous as Zhuge Liang's "Teacher Table" and Han Yu's "Sacrifice Twelve Lang Wen", and Wei Chen's article is already worthy of pride just by being qualified to compare it with it.

What is even more incredible is that most of the officials in the Department of Communications agree with such a statement.

Similar scenes are not only happening in the General Administration.

Wei Chen's recital was handed from the General Administration Department to the clerical room, and then from the clerical room to the Longtu Pavilion, and then from the Longtu Pavilion to the Inner Servant Province.

In the end, after several twists and turns, this piece was finally presented to Zhao Zhen by Gao Huai: "Your Majesty, today's piece is here." ”

The music on the eucalyptus had already piled up like a hill, and Zhao Zhen, who was reviewing the music, didn't even raise his head, but just said, "Let's put it aside first." ”

Gao Huai hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Your Majesty, there is Wei Zhongyun's music here." ”

"Wei Aiqing?"

Zhao Zhen raised his head in surprise, and immediately smiled with relief, it seems that Wei Chen is asking for guilt, so it's okay.

The officials are menacing, and they have a posture of not giving up until they reach their goal, even if Zhao Zhen has kept the impeachment of Wei Chen in the middle, he feels that he can't suppress it.

Since Wei Chen is willing to take the initiative to admit his mistake, then Zhao Zhen only needs to punish Wei Chen slightly, such as a fine for three months, which can almost calm the anger of the officials and stop this matter.

This is the best result.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Zhen put down his pen, stretched out his hand towards Gao Huai and said, "Present Wei Zhongyun's recital first." ”

"Yes."

However, after the tea effort.

"If a country lives and dies for profit, will it not be avoided because of good and evil? If the country lives and dies for profit, will it not be avoided because of misfortune and good fortune......"

Zhao Zhen got up from the throne, and repeatedly recited the words and sentences in Wei Chen's "Chen Qing Table" in his mouth, and his eyes were moist unconsciously.

"The heart of the fist, the spirit of Haoran, overflowing on the paper, the country can have a minister like Wei Zhongyun, I am very lucky, Da Zhou is very lucky!"

Zhao Zhen's mood changed, Gao Huai and the other servants all saw it, and at this moment they had only one thought in their hearts, the future of this Wei Liuyuan was really limitless!

After a long time, Zhao Zhen finally put down the chapter, sighed long, and said in a low voice: "In the final analysis, this matter is all my fault, Wei Zhongyun just carried the black pot for me." The courtiers are still brave in their work, don't I, as the king of a country, have no responsibility?

I mess with everyone with a small family, and mess with the law of the country with selfishness, so that Wei Zhongyun has today's disaster, and I feel guilty in my heart, so I can only issue an edict to ...... myself."

"Your Majesty, this must not be done!"

Hearing Zhao Zhen say the words "edict to punish oneself", all the attendants were panicked, and immediately hula lala knelt down.

There is such a thing as a guilty edict, even if you look through the history books, you can't find a few copies.

Throughout the ages, emperors have been carried by heaven, and Chrysostom is the embodiment of correctness. As a last resort, the emperor will never admit that he is wrong, let alone issue an edict to publicize his mistakes to the world.

It is conceivable that once Zhao Zhen publicly issued an edict of guilt and confessed his mistakes to the subjects of the world, it would inevitably cause an uproar in the world.

In comparison, the impact of Wei Chen's impeachment is simply insignificant.

At this moment, even the uneducated servant realized the seriousness of the situation, knelt on the ground and begged Zhao Zhen to think twice before acting.

However, Zhao Zhen seemed to have made up his mind, and he couldn't persuade him no matter how much he persuaded him, and insisted on issuing an edict to punish himself.

In desperation, the chamberlains had no choice but to send someone to Longtu Pavilion to inform Shoufu Han Zhang and ask him to come over to dissuade the officials.

Not long after, Han Zhang, who received the news, immediately put down the government affairs at hand and hurried to the apse of the Chongzheng Hall to ask to see the Son of Heaven.

When Zhao Zhen saw Han Zhang, he guessed his intention, waved his hand at Han Zhang, and said, "I have made up my mind, Han Qing's family doesn't need to say much." ”

Han Zhang kowtowed and said: "Issuing an edict to sin oneself is the benevolence and virtue of the ancients, and the ministers know that His Majesty is benevolent and virtuous, not inferior to the ancients." It's just that the minister begged His Majesty to allow Weizhong to do so, don't do this. ”

"Wei Zhongyun?"

Zhao Zhen was slightly stunned.

The reason why he made up his mind to condemn himself was because he was moved by the heart of Wei Chen's fist, and he felt ashamed of Wei Chen, and he didn't want Wei Chen to bear the stigma for himself.

But Han Zhang actually said, please think about it for Wei Chen, don't do this, what is the reason?

"Your Majesty!"

Han Zhang said bitterly: "Don't you understand, Wei Zhongyun was impeached, not because he made a mistake, but because he was too dazzling, so that he attracted too much jealousy." The top priority is to cool down Wei Zhongyun, not add fuel to his fire.

Once you issue an edict against yourself, everyone in the world knows that your move is for Wei Zhongyun, and Wei Zhongyun has become the focus of attention of the world? Chen dared to assert that at that time, the number of impeachment recitals against Wei Zhongyun would not decrease, but would increase and even fill your royal eucalyptus! ”

After Zhao Zhen heard Han Zhang's words, his face showed a sudden look, and then a wry smile flashed across the corner of his mouth, and he asked dejectedly: "Then according to the Qing family's opinion, how should I make up for my mistakes?" ”

"You must not condemn yourself."

Seeing Zhao Zhen nodding slightly, Han Zhang couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and continued to say slowly: "Not only that, but we must also apply for Wei Zhongyun for the crime of being impeached without self-reflection, so that he can be degraded and released, and out of the court's vision, so as to protect this loyal minister!" ”
