It was nearly the third day of the third month of March.

March 3, Xuanyuan Sheng.

More than 1,000 years ago, Gongsun Xuanyuan was born.

More than 1,000 years ago, he called himself the king of people, ended the disputes of hundreds of tribes in the Central Plains, unified the Central Plains, established the first centralized state of the Han Dynasty, unified the language, and wrote the same book on the same track, so that there is now this civilization that has been inherited for thousands of years, which is also the origin of the self-proclaimed orthodox Han people in the Central Plains.

It's just that in order to commemorate the human king who has made indelible contributions to the development of China, it is impossible to verify that the Yellow Emperor's birthday on March 3 became the day of the sacrifice of the Yellow Emperor.

Later, it has developed to the present, not to mention, during the Great Wei Dynasty of the previous dynasty, there were a series of activities that were more popular with both the folk and the royal family, such as Qushui Liuzhen, spring tours, blessings for women, or feasts and drinks.

In the early days of the founding of this dynasty, even the founding emperor Tianwen Emperor, who disdained many folk activities and thought that it was just a waste of money and labor, chose this day as the first altar opening sacrifice day of the year, not only to worship heaven and earth and worship the gods, pray for the gods and ancestors to bless the wind and rain and avoid disasters, but also the rulers of the great unified dynasty to better control the subjects and consolidate their rule with the ethereal belief that man and god and heaven and earth coexist.

Therefore, on this day, perhaps the people are just trying to have a lively drinking and entertaining of friends, and the literati and scholars are courteous and elegant poetry, but for the royal family, this day is already a big thing to sacrifice alone.

Fortunately, after nearly a hundred years of development, the dynasty is on the right track, even if the saint does not have to deal with every detail by himself, the subordinate department will also be properly arranged, and the ceremony will be completed perfectly.

This is the duty of the courtiers to solve the problems of the saint, otherwise, how can the behemoth of the dynasty move forward steadily?

It's just that on March 3 this year, another family matter involving state affairs was secretly put on the agenda by the Manchu civil and military forces.

Immediate storage.

After all, the reigning Emperor Wensheng has passed the age of knowing the mandate of heaven, although the edict is not a big rebellion to bully the king, but in the eight years of the reign still did not establish the East Palace, I dare not say that there is no one to come, but throughout the history, this is also unprecedented.

As early as the first opening of the dynasty after the New Year in the first month, there have been several Lantai imperial history to write about this matter, although the court and the middle of the court know that this is the only one of the four auxiliary ministers of the dynasty who is still in his position to seek his position Teng Wujian secretly fueled the trouble, but it is inevitable that the stone is big and the water splash is small, plus those days are when the thousand-year-old city of Xi'an was forcibly changed to "Chang'an" under the arrangement of this whim emperor, and it happened to be a lot of uproar, but the matter of the prince was robbed of the limelight, and was sung with a sentence "I have been considering" It was perfunctory and perfunctory.

One year after another, one day at a time, the cabinet that included the heads of the military generals of the civil and military generals, plus some famous people of the government and the opposition, elected the head of the civil ministers and the assistant Teng Wujian to see Emperor Wensheng behind the next dynasty After the proposal to sacrifice the ceremony on the day of Shangsi, it is necessary to set up the East Palace to participate in national politics.

In the past few years, there have been no less than three times, whether it is Teng Wuji, Teng Shoufu, the head of the Wenchen, or the great Confucian Bai Xiaosheng, who is quite prestigious in the Great Zhou Dynasty and has 3,000 students, or even the former emperor's half-brother and canonized the king of Huainan, the old prince Wang Mao has more than once admonished Emperor Wensheng to establish a prince early, but he was all vaguely shirked by Emperor Wensheng's sentence "Don't be in a hurry, don't wait".

This is not today, Li Teng Wu got out of the early dynasty, and was secretly called aside by a few Sikong Taifu Shang scholars, knowing the pros and cons, no matter how you say it, they are all Confucian and Taoist masters who respect the etiquette and respect the law, and for Emperor Wensheng, who has not been canonized in the East Palace for eight years, these people are heartbroken.

Obviously, after the year, Emperor Wensheng lightly fooled the matter in the past, and until now he seems to have forgotten it and no longer mentions it, which makes Teng Wujian also feel estranged, a little angry, and he has already made up his mind, even if he fights for his old life not to die under the throne of the Ganlu Palace, he must let Emperor Wensheng canonize the East Palace to calm the hearts of his ministers.

After all, there is no prince in the country, and it is really unreasonable to be polite and reasonable.

is such a big country, isn't it a joke for Fanbang.

However, as soon as the Shoufu Lord, who was in charge of the hundred officials of Wenchen, entered the Ganlu Palace, he did not express his intentions, but Emperor Wensheng spoke directly and asked him to convene the four elders of the cabinet to discuss the matter of establishing the crown prince.

This caught Teng Wujian off guard.

The old Shousuke, who was a lot of beard and age, stood in place, not knowing what to say again, and was speechless for a while.

Naturally, seeing Teng Wuji's embarrassment, Emperor Wen Sheng laughed and ordered to "give a seat".

After the old Shoufu sat down, Emperor Wen Sheng also came out from behind the imperial table, walked to Teng Wuji's side with a smile and sat down next to him, beckoning to Cai Dong, the eunuch who had been standing quietly on the side, to come and serve tea.

"Even if Teng Shoufu didn't mention it, I felt that it should be put on the agenda as soon as possible, and I remembered this matter in the imperial history books some time ago, but at that time, I let Old Master Bai and a group of scholars block the door every day to talk about those big truths, and it was also annoying. What I mean is that after the start of the New Year's Festival on March 3, this matter will be finalized, so that you elders will also keep worrying about this matter. ”

Emperor Wen Sheng, who was quite approachable when talking to his courtiers, laughed and let Teng Wujian drink tea and tea.

Obviously, I didn't have the heart to taste the fragrant tea that came to the emperor's house, and I was still a little unable to come back to my senses after being a general who was straight to the point by the sage, and I drank tea and put a cup of tea mechanically, how could I care about the gold of the Panlong Moon White Color Gold Glass Cup in my hand.

This time, it was Emperor Wen Sheng who personally poured tea for the head of the court, one of the four auxiliary ministers, and it was very rare to talk to this civil leader of the court today.

Emperor Wensheng said: "When the first emperor was dying, he left me the pillars of your four countries to assist me in governing the world. ”

This made the first assistant lord Teng Wuji, who was only on the side of the stool, not knowing why the emperor was talking about the establishment of the prince, so he began to dig out his heart again, and listened to the words quietly.

Emperor Wen Sheng, who has a little bit of freewheeling things, said: "Emperor Uncle Huainan Wang, a handful of years old is still running back and forth between the southeast coast and the imperial city, the age is getting older and older, and the physical strength can not keep up, these years can obviously be seen, a year ago I came back to report on work, and occasionally felt cold on the road, a while ago I sent someone to comfort, saying that he was still a little sick, and he was very tired. Alas, it really worries me.

"Look at the old master Bai again, he is even more powerless, he should have made fun of his grandson at an old age, but he still has to work for me to work on the affairs of the Xingtan Temple of the country, and cultivate the pillars of the court, every time I see the old master walking the dragon tail road, his steps are shaky and trembling, I am very worried, I want the old master to return to his hometown to live for the rest of his life, but he is reluctant.

"Only the king of the backer has a strong body, and when he was old, I heard that he also studied martial arts with the Daoji sage, which is really beyond the reach of ordinary people such as me, but those things were indeed a little unpleasant in the past few years. It's really strange to say, there were a lot of greedy cups that day, so I made such a big joke, and in the end, the king's house was not quiet. In the past few years, the king of the backer said that he was embarrassed to go to the court, and I also knew that if it wasn't for the invitation of the national teacher a few days ago, I am afraid that with the temper of the prince, even if the two little ones came back this time, he would not have appeared in the inner city. Alas, it was I who refuted the prince's face. ”

"In the past three years, these three important ministers have not asked much about the court, whether they are official or private, and they have not asked much about the court. With Shousuke so devoted, I can sit back and relax. Teng Qing, I am very at ease. ”

The emperor's words have come to this, and as a courtier, he naturally has to behave as he should be, Teng Wujian hurriedly got up and was about to kneel, and he almost opened his mouth to open his mouth.

It's just that he just bowed down and didn't wait to kneel, and the sentence "the minister was afraid"

Before there was anything to do, Emperor Wen Sheng leaned over and pressed the shoulder of Lord Shoufu, "Teng Qing, I just want to tell you what I want to say, there are no outsiders here, and it is regarded as a family, so you are not allowed to be so angry." ”

That's what he said, but things can't be done, Teng Wujian looked at his nose and mouth and looked at his heart, and said carefully, "Thank you for your love", but he is also an old man, and he knows that in this way, if he wants to explore the tone of Lichu's matter, this matter is ten out of ten yellow.

Let the cabinet chief assistant in front of him, who is indeed a cabinet chief assistant who has shared a lot of state affairs for himself, Emperor Wen Sheng once again personally served the cup of tea that was really expensive and complemented the cup, and said casually: "This time, the two of the king's family have been hiding in Tibet for a long time, and they have been hiding for three years, and as soon as they came out, they caught up with Wudang by mistake, and they were kidnapped by a group of thieves of unknown origin in Phoenix City, Teng Qing has heard about it?" ”

Teng Wujian nodded, and said: "This is also a rumor in the capital in the month, my kid Teng Xiao has a few friends who go to the rivers and lakes, and he came to visit him after the year, saying that it has not been so lively in the martial arts for many years, and it has made the night family stir up, it is really the words of the night prince when he was young, no one is everywhere, and he can't come out in the long night." ”

Obviously, this is a bustle that belongs to another world, and the old Shoufu, who is the first person to lead the civil officials in the court, naturally does not listen to his children's friends mention it as he said, and there are many channels, and it is not or cannot be said to the emperor.

And this saint suddenly talked about these things that had been in the court for a long time, and he was really praising himself? Teng Wujian has been in the officialdom for so many years, and the hair is empty when he plucks it out, can he not know the true intention of the saint to say this?

Wang Mao, the king of Huainan, and Bai Xiaosheng, the first great Confucian, even if they add themselves, the first assistant who was praised by the Son of Heaven, they were exposed in a few words, whether they were good or bad, they didn't have much ink, why did they waste so much saliva here with the only king with a different surname in the current dynasty?

Obviously, the reappearance of the two night dragons and phoenixes who really can't be treated by common sense has stirred up one storm after another, whether it is intentional or unintentional, coincidental or arranged, it has imperceptibly affected the direction of the rivers and lakes.

The old Shoufu, who had never blushed with anyone in his life in the court, had vaguely guessed what the emperor meant.

It's just that the emperor can guess but can't understand it, if he doesn't understand this bit of common sense, how can he sit firmly in the first auxiliary seat for so many years? How can he be promoted from a three-rank scattered cavalry attendant to four levels in a row, and the carp leaping into the dragon gate generally became the first person in the cabinet, the first minister of the emperor's Qinfeng, and the first person in the civil service?

They are all thousand-year-old foxes, and no one can play chatting.

Naturally, he could also hear that this close minister avoided the important and light, Emperor Wen Sheng did not have any dissatisfaction, and still said with a smile: "These two children have been wandering outside for three years because of my drunken words, but they have not let the Queen Mother and her old man chant in front of me, if they come back, they will have to rush me to eliminate the holy decree of the year." I only thought about that Nizi and Jiang'er's childhood sweetheart, and I deliberately matched it, but I didn't expect it to become my more than this, and the two of them didn't mean it at all, alas, it backfired, but it was self-defeating. ”

Even if he had been sincerely afraid that he couldn't see Emperor Wen Sheng's expression when he lowered his head, Teng Wujian believed that the saint who had a smile in his tone could not be so kind on the surface.

In this world, everyone can be wrong, but the Son of Heaven cannot be wrong.

In this world, everyone can admit their mistakes, but the Son of Heaven can't admit it.

The chosen son is the emperor, using copper as a mirror to dress properly, and taking people as a mirror to see gains and losses are all nonsense, and if the son of heaven makes a mistake, it is a mistake of heaven.

What is it called to make mistakes?

That can only be the mistake of people under the heavens and think that God is wrong and not really wrong.

Because heaven cannot make mistakes.

All the wrath of heaven, in the final analysis, is not the punishment caused by human disrespect, it is related to the fact that the sky does not have a copper plate.
