Chapter 31: The Struggle for the Nation's Capital (2)
Some people say that King Fu is a very intelligent prince, who treats people with great grace and has the posture of a wise monarch, but some people say that King Fu is cruel and unkind, even if he is imprisoned in Beijing and is not allowed to be a vassal, it is not an exaggeration. Those who hold these two arguments often argue with each other in the market, arguing with each other.
Soon, some people combined the previous article with it and discussed it together, and the topic changed from which one was more virtuous, and turned back to the dispute over the establishment of the reserve.
However, what they did not notice was that as the controversy continued, the focus of their argument was already "King Fu and King Rong, the one who is virtuous enough to hold the position of crown prince", rather than "according to the etiquette system, the eldest son should serve as the crown prince".
The people seem to have tacitly acquiesced that in the case of the great difference between the two sons, they should choose the more virtuous one and become the crown prince.
After all, compared to the ethereal rules and rituals, the prosperity of this dynasty is the most important.
Moreover, who is sitting on the dragon throne is closely related to themselves! Who doesn't want to have another rule of benevolence, lightly pay for the meager endowment, and be able to live and work in peace and contentment?
……
"It's nonsense, it's nonsense!"
In the inn, Gu Boyang loudly rebuked this kind of statement among the people.
Although the examination was cancelled, he did not leave the Beijing Division. Not only did he not leave, in fact, many of them did not leave.
After all, once every three years, it's a pity, and they are also waiting for the ministers to make the emperor change his mind.
And Gu Boyang is one of the most active, these days, he walked the streets and alleys, visited many ministers, and at the same time actively wooed the sons, trying to create his own small group, and tried his best to refute the "traitorous ministers" in the court and oppose the emperor's "absurd" behavior.
There are really some courtiers who are friendly with him, a small person who has no fame, and there is even a scholar among them, which makes him a hot figure in the capital for a while.
And when he sensed the change in the direction of the people, he immediately began to refute it.
"It is the inheritance of generations, how can it be changed arbitrarily?"
"What's more, Emperor Hui, how can he compare with King Rong? Even if you are a sage, you should be the king of Lirong! Blessed king, not as good as King Rong! ”
"Born of a demon concubine, if it is not taught by us and other Chinese people, can a humble gentleman still come out? On the contrary, it is King Rong, who is educated by the upright people of my generation, and he will definitely be a generation of virtuous kings! ”
"In my opinion, the rumors of the blessed king and the king of Rong, I am afraid that some people are in a hurry to divert the eyes of the people of the world from this, and what they are doing is to cover up their treacherous deeds exposed by the "Discussion of Danger"!"
"The head of the rebellion of the imperial court, the bane of the world, should be beheaded, should be beheaded!"
Gu Boyang said meaningfully, and those who have a heart can also see that he is alluding to the "ten murders" that are circulated among the people.
The people around him applauded and applauded, obviously they also agreed with Gu Boyang's words.
What they apparently didn't realize, though, was that they had been entangled in the discussion of which king was more virtuous, and what they really had to do was bite the ritual to death, rather than start shifting the battlefield after a mere rebuttal.
But they didn't notice it, which led to the direction of the topic, from the side of the establishment of the long, inexplicably to the side of the virtuous people.
After all, it's still too young.
Zhang Yicheng also stood aside, in the past, when he heard Gu Boyang's words, he would definitely be enthusiastic, just like that day, he was the first to sign his name, but today, he felt a little uncomfortable inexplicably.
Gu Boyang is also from a scholar family, he doesn't believe that the other party will not know the true face of King Fu and King Rong.
But he still said it.
It always feels awkward.
"Folk rumors are inevitably distorted, whether you are virtuous or not, you still have to see it with your own eyes."
His head didn't know what was going on, and he blurted it out subconsciously.
However, as soon as this remark came out, he immediately realized that something was wrong - in this case, this was equivalent to questioning Gu Boyang's remarks, and he was sticking to his face!
Sure enough, there were suspicious eyes all around, and he himself couldn't wait to slap himself a few mouths - what's the matter, why are you still talking for King Fu, Lichang, Lichang!
He repeated in his heart.
Gu Boyang also raised his eyes and glanced at him with surprise:
"The king is more virtuous...... Although it is a folk rumor, it is also seen by everyone...... There are elders in my family, who have been to the king ceremony, and this king is majestic and majestic, and the appearance of a bright monarch is already beginning to appear; And King Fu looks like a vulture, and at first glance he is not a human master. ”
He didn't think about it so much, both of them were from Nanzhi, and he and Zhang Yicheng also knew each other, and knew that he had always supported him. He also thought that the other party was talking back because he couldn't try to complain about himself, so he patiently explained a few words.
didn't know that it was these few explanations that made Zhang Yicheng's heart question again: Isn't it ridiculous to determine people just by their appearance! Co-authored you say which of them is virtuous, but in fact he has no evidence?
He felt a little unhappy, but he didn't know what to say, so he had to keep his mouth shut and stand aside and say nothing.
……
In the court, Wanli is losing his temper.
The commander of the Jinyi Guard and the eunuch of the Dongchang Commander knelt in front of him, trembling.
"I ordered you to find out the real culprit within ten days, and when the ten days have come, you ask for some grace, and I have allowed it, and now the time has come again, and you still have nothing! Why, you're going to find out if I'm dead?!! ”
But these words were extremely serious, and the two of them trembled with fright and fell to their knees.
Yan Chenhao was on the side and persuaded softly:
"Your Majesty, the two adults still have something to do...... At least now among the Jingshi, no one talks about that article anymore, this is the work of the two of them! That person dared to take the risk of offending Long Wei to write this article, and he must have been prepared, and he couldn't find it out in a hurry, and it wasn't the fault of the two of them......"
This consolation made Wanli's face a little better, but he still scolded:
"Jingshi doesn't say anything, what's the use! The world is still boiling! Hum...... Two sake bags and rice bags! ”
However, after all, he still did not hold the two of them responsible, which made the commander of the Jinyi Guard and the admiral eunuch cast a grateful look at him.
"What are you still kneeling here, don't you step back quickly? Check it out! I'll give you the last half a month! Wanli waved his hand and said disgustedly.
The two hurriedly bowed their heads in thanks, and then retreated.
Wanli sighed heavily and turned to face Yan Chenhao.
Maybe it's because he taught his beloved son to become a meritorious person, or maybe it's because of Concubine Zheng Guifei's pillow wind, anyway, now he looks at Yan Chenhao quite pleasing to the eye.
He slowed his tone and asked:
"Aiqing, the ministers are against it...... Did I really do something wrong? ”
Thank you for the book friend "huhuhuhuhuhu" and the book friend "back to the stomach" for the reward, thank you!
