Chapter 123: Fu Youyi persuaded to advance
A few days later, Li Jing got Tongbing, and the servant Shi Fu Youyi and more than 900 people were outside the gate of the mansion, asking Li Jing to be the emperor!
After Li Jing heard this, his brows furrowed, didn't Fu Youyi trap him for disloyalty?
How could a loyal minister like him do something to plot the dynasty and usurp the throne, this is what a traitor does.
He must not do this, otherwise, the historian will definitely write it in the history books, saying that it is not good for him to be a traitor and steal the country!
The most important thing is that since ancient times, the Zen position must also follow the etiquette of the three lets, in order to comply with the rules, and now the first time I came to ask him to be the emperor, if he agreed immediately, wouldn't it seem that he was ugly.
The etiquette of three lets originally refers to a kind of etiquette when the host and the guest meet, that is, the host makes three changes and the guests let three times.
For the ministers who want to sit on the throne, only after the three concessions, "forced" to accept the Zen throne is the top priority!
This is a virtue, just like the story of Zhou Taibo giving way to his third brother Ji Li, who was praised by later generations as a virtue.
Even the Analects praise Taber as a virtue to give way, and it is recorded in the Analects of Tabor: Taber can be said to be the most virtuous! Third, let the world let it, and the people have nothing to gain and be praised.
At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the Sanrang ritual evolved into a necessary ritual when the emperor ascended the throne.
Like Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, after three reluctances, he had to "helplessly" say that for the sake of the people of the world, he had to reluctantly obey, and then, that is, the emperor.
Liu Heng, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, was elected as the emperor by everyone, and it took five times to agree to the throne of the emperor and become the new emperor of the Han Dynasty.
When he arrived at Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi, Cao Pi became the first person to be "let by Zen", and after the fourth edict of Emperor Xian of Han came, Cao Pi was "forced" to agree.
So, Shang Shu ordered Huan and others to play: "Now the life of the Han clan has reached four times, and His Majesty has stubbornly resigned, and the ministers have thought that God is holy and that the great Wei of fortune is long. ”
Therefore, this form is also known as "three persuasions", as the name suggests, that is, the courtiers have to carry out three persuasions, and the persuaded ones must continue to resign, and the third time can they reluctantly accept it!
The reason why this gesture was made was purely out of the need for political propaganda, and it was to further demonstrate the legitimacy and legitimacy of the imperial throne.
Let the people of the world look at it, and he doesn't want to be the emperor at all, but the ministers are strong, so they have no choice but to be the emperor.
However, since the Han Dynasty, the so-called "three resignations and three concessions" have seriously changed taste, and the initiator is Cao Pi, Emperor Wen of Wei, who made this kind of political etiquette a complete political show.
After that, Sima Yan, Liu Yu, Xiao Daocheng and others followed suit, and played the game of drumming and passing flowers in a hurry, pretending to show their "helplessness"!
Three let the etiquette come first: be vigorous, sternly refuse this immoral behavior, take the opportunity to give the leader a little sweetness, he will work harder in the back, and let those who have not reaped the benefits have a goal to strive for!
After tasting the sweetness, everyone's minds become more active, and the second persuasion will be carried out, this time the number of people will be larger, and the words will be more sincere.
This brings us to the second let: once again to say no, the tone is a little loose, so that everyone can see hope, indicating that as long as they try to persuade again, the other party will agree.
So, there is a third persuasion, this persuasion can represent the will of the whole world, so that the other party must not shirk, should obey the people's will, you want to resign again and let everyone down!
This brings us to the third let: the other party will behave very embarrassed, even if the heart is happy at the moment, but also pretend to be very painful, under everyone's bitter pleading, can only reluctantly agree, acquiescing to everyone's behavior.
At this point, the basic procedures have been performed, but there is still one last step left for legal accession: that is, it needs to be stamped and approved by God.
As for how God stamps and approves, this simple, auspicious thing that has been played rotten is the best proof, as long as auspicious rui appears, it means that God approves of you as the emperor.
In this way, the will of heaven and the will of the people are there, what reason is there to refuse to become the emperor?
If at this moment, you don't want to be the emperor yet, it will lead to "anger and resentment"!
"I started the army to protect my Tang Dynasty, and I never thought about the throne, did Fu Youyi want to trap me in disloyalty?"
"You go and call Fu Youyi in, I want to ask, why did he do such a rebellious act, as the imperial history of the Tang Dynasty, but he did something disloyal!"
In order to show that he was angry, Li Jing slapped the table next to him, and then swept the tea bowl on the table to the ground, breaking it to pieces, and also expressed his mood at the moment.
Ximen Yang listened to the order and beckoned to do something!
After a short time, the attendant led Fu Youyi in.
"Weichen serves the imperial historian Fu Youyi, see the regent!"
Fu Youyi saw Li Jing and hurriedly saluted.
"Fu Youyi, you are so bold, you dare to gather a group of people to make trouble outside my mansion, and dare to persuade me to do things that are not subordinate in broad daylight!"
"As a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty, how can I do something to replace the saint, how can I be virtuous, how can I be honored as the Ninth Five-Year Honor, you are trapping me for disloyalty, can you be guilty?"
Li Jing angrily reprimanded Fu Youyi, his eyes widened angrily, to express his angry mood at the moment, and the stern refusal was to show his loyalty, and he would never be bewitched by Fu Youyi, a "traitor", to do something arrogant.
"Wechen is terrified, I don't know what the crime is? This persuasion is the will of the people, not the disloyalty of the ministers, the regent is the emperor, it is the wish of all the people in the world, and the ministers are just conveying it on their behalf!"
Fu Youyi argued.
Li Jing scoffed after hearing this, it's okay to deceive a three-year-old child with this kind of nonsense, so don't pretend in front of him! It's all millennium foxes, what are you talking about?
Even if you bring more than 900 people, you can also represent all the people, and you are not afraid of jokes when you say it.
As a result, Fu Youyi took out a blood letter of all the people, which was to persuade Li Jing to replace Li Xian and become the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty, which shows that Fu Youyi was very well prepared.
However, even so, Li Jing still rejected Fu Youyi's persuasion with righteous words, and asked Fu Youyi to go back and not think about some useless things, but to focus on work.
Thinking that Fu Youyi was diligent and diligent in his position in serving the imperial history, he promoted Fu Youyi to the provincial minister, hoping that Fu Youyi could continue to shine in his new position and not disappoint him and the imperial court's expectations of him.
Fu Youyi, who got the benefits, was overjoyed, this trip was really not in vain, although the first persuasion was not successful, but it didn't matter, just persuade a few more times!
After going back, in addition to calling on everyone to come and persuade them to enter, they also have to arrange for people to go to the places where Li Jing once lived, as well as the surroundings of Chang'an, to create auspiciousness!
Xiangrui, that is God's recognition of a person, with God's endorsement, Li Jing can naturally become the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty!
Fu Youyi withdrew from the palace, dismissed the people who asked for their lives this time, and immediately went back to plan the second persuasion!
Fu Youyi's behavior, as well as the promotion of officials, quickly spread, and the hundred officials and relatives of the imperial family, the chiefs of Siyi, and the Taoist priests of Shamen also had different ideas.
They also wanted to reap enough benefits, even political capital, by persuading Li Jing to replace Li Xian, that is, the emperor.
After the fermentation after Fu Youyi's first persuasion, all forces began to act to prepare for the second persuasion!
After Fu Youyi left, Yao Chong, the secretary of Honglu Temple, Cui Min, the pawn of the Pawn Bureau, and Zhang Wuji, the host and guest of the Ministry of Rites, hurriedly came to meet Li Jing.
Among the three, Cui Minping was transferred to the pawn order, and Yao Chongping was transferred to the pawn order.
Let Yao Chong be in charge of handling the affairs of Siyi, which will help him sit on the frontier in the future and deal with the relationship between the Hu people and the Tang Dynasty!
"See the Regent!"
The three of them saluted Li Jing with crossed hands!
"What's the matter with the three of you coming to see me in such a hurry?"
Li Jing was very curious, why did the three officials in charge of foreign affairs come to him, could it be that something big happened to Siyi, or was there a guy who didn't open his eyes to make a mistake?
"The regent, I just received an urgent eight hundred miles, and the Western Turk Khan Ashina Husero led a tribe of 60,000 or 70,000 people, willing to submit to the Tang Dynasty, and requested that it be attached, and the regent was asked to adjudicate!"
Yao Chong, the secretary of Honglu Temple, said.
With so many people attached, where should they be arranged, so as not to cause trouble, if they are allowed to get together, it is inevitable that there will be no trouble.
"This is a good thing, as for how to arrange it, you go to discuss with the prime ministers, and after the results, let Zhongshu Province draft an edict, canonize him as the general of the Right Tunwei, change his name to the Khan of the loyal minister, and continue to serve as the capital of Mengchi!"
Li Jing smiled slightly.
"Whoa!"
Yao Chongying said.
"By the way, why does this Ashina Husero suddenly want to be attached?"
Li Jing was a little puzzled, isn't it good to be his tribal king in Mobei? How did he come to Datang, Li Jing didn't believe that Hu Seluo came to Datang because of the prosperity of Chang'an, and brought his own people inside.
"Weichen heard that it was because General Lanyu led the troops to crusade against the Later Turkic Khanate, and after our army destroyed the Later Turkic Khanate, the remnants of the Later Turkic Khanate were defeated and annexed by the Turks, so as to become stronger!"
"Coupled with the tyranny of Ashina Husero's own tribes, the ten tribes eventually broke away from Ashina Husero and turned to other Turkic Turks."
"The Turkish absorbed the remnants of the defeated generals of the Later Turkic Khanate, and there were ten tribes of the Western Turks who took refuge, which made the Turkish strong in a short period of time, it is said that the Turkish are 300,000 empty strings, and the Western Turks are not opponents, they can only attach the Tang Dynasty!"
Zhang Wuji, the host and guest of the Ministry of Rites, told the information he knew.
"It seems that Tuqi Shi is also going to become a border trouble for Datang!"
Li Jing sighed and said that Datang has never given up control of Mobei, but every time a force is eliminated, new forces will be born to confront Datang.
First the Eastern and Western Turks, then Xue Yantuo, after Xue Yantuo was finished, Ashina Helu rebelled, the Eastern and Western Turks repeatedly jumped horizontally, and finally established the Post-Turkic Khanate, and now there is another Turkic Shilai.
