Chapter 302: The Politics of the Shang Monarch
On the fourth day of the lunar month, heavy snow fell.
Today is a special day, His Majesty the Emperor specially ordered a sutra feast, and the civil and military high-ranking officials were present today.
At the beginning of the hour, the officials had already rushed to the Wenhua Hall and stood in line under the guidance of the ceremonial officials
Because of the large number of officials, the officials in the main hall of the Wenhua Hall are crowded, but everything is in order.
After standing still, the hall was extremely quiet, just waiting for the arrival of the emperor.
Everyone waited for a quarter of an hour before they heard movement outside, and they knew that it was the emperor's guard of honor.
Everyone finally tidied up their sleeves and groomed, waiting for His Majesty the Emperor's arrival.
After a few breaths, more than a dozen eunuchs entered the hall with various utensils and furnishings, and finally stood around the throne.
After a while, the emperor appeared outside the main hall in his robes.
Everyone knelt on the ground to greet the arrival of His Majesty the Emperor.
"Knock on Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
In the sound of the mountain, Emperor Zhu Xianming entered the main hall, followed by the crown prince Rui Wang and Zhu Jinghong.
Today's feast, the civil and military high-ranking officials have arrived, which can be regarded as a court meeting, and Zhu Jinghong is also deeply surprised by this.
According to the feast day, it stands to reason that it should be held every day, but it has not been implemented since the founding of Taizu, and it is difficult to guarantee even the monthly lecture in the later period.
Passed to the ancestor Zhongxing, this succession to the beginning of the throne in order to strengthen legitimacy, that is the Eight Classics of the Righteous Er to do the daily preaching.
Of course, this system did not last for half a year, and Shizu began to let the princes do it for him, and he would rather go to war than think of Wenhua Palace.
In the later period of the Shizu, the sutra feast became a monthly lecture, and in the late period, there was no form at all.
Let's say that after the emperor sat down, the three princes followed him, and only the prince was given a stool.
Picking up the teacup, Zhu Xianming took a sip to warm up his body, and then said, "Let's start!" β
I saw an official walk out of the train, came to the lecture and knelt down in front of the lecture and said: "Luo Guangde, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, plays the 68th volume of the historical records, and the biography of the Shang Jun!" β
As soon as Luo Guangde spoke, the generals did not make any waves, but many civilian officials were surprised and anxious.
What does Shang Jun do? It is the person who changed the Qin law and strengthened the Qin, and before the cabinet will make major adjustments, he will be particularly sensitive to studying this history.
Today's Sanfu Zhao Yushan has always had the heart of reform, and he is a popular candidate for the next first assistant.
"Shang Jun, the son of Wei Zhi, the son of the concubine, the name martingale, the surname Gongsun, and the surname of his ancestor Benji is also ......"
Luo Guangde began to read, but no one was listening.
After the feast, the martial artists are just a faΓ§ade, and the whole process will basically not have their business, so just think about what to eat at night.
The civil officials present were so recitive about Shang Jun's biography that they naturally didn't need to listen, but focused on the upcoming battle and thought about how to deal with and debate in advance.
As for the current situation, the crown prince Zhu Jingyuan is unaware, he only thinks it is an ordinary teaching show.
It was Zhu Jinghong and Zhu Jingyuan, who vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
When Zhu Jingyuan was thinking about his position, Zhu Jinghong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, glad that he was not the focus today.
Eighty percent of the so-called examination and teaching are scared of me by old men...... Zhu Jinghong thought secretly.
On such a major occasion, how could he come to test him, a person who does not know how to write and ink.
Luo Guangde finished reading the article, and then began to analyze.
First of all, he praised Shang Yang for his goodness, then praised him for the good policies he proposed, and then argued that change can make the country rich and strong.
"Your Majesty, the minister's lecture today has been completed!"
"Hmm!"
After saluting the emperor again, Luo Guangde retreated to the train, and there was a dead silence in the hall.
"The Shang monarch ruled and made the Qin State monopolistic, but the law of the Shang monarch was also called an evil law by historians, which shows that it is difficult to discuss the merits of right and wrong......"
"All of you Aiqing are full of wealth and have unique opinions, why not try it today?"
The emperor's words are tantamount to sounding the battle horn, and the officials who have been prepared for a long time have prepared their speeches based on their own positions.
"Your Majesty, the minister has a ...... word"
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say......"
For a while, five officials went out to perform the performance, and the atmosphere was brought to a climax from the beginning.
"Xu Qing, you say ...... first"
After the emperor's roll call, the officials surnamed Xu began to perform, and the others returned to the train.
"The minister thinks that although the Shang monarch has a strategy to enrich the country, he only wants to plan for a while, and the second emperor of Qin dies......"
As soon as this person opened his mouth, he criticized Shang Ying as an incomplete individual, only taking its disadvantages and saying little about its benefits, this person is obviously an old-fashioned person.
Some people oppose it, and naturally some people will support it, and the official surnamed Xu's voice fell, and immediately someone spoke out.
The two sides talked back and forth, and what they said after thinking about it made sense, and Zhu Jinghong was dizzy when he heard it.
He also had to admit that these officials, who had read poetry and books, were indeed good at debating, and the mere appearance of quoting scriptures and classics made people unclear.
Of course, although there were many people who spoke on the spot, the highest was only Shangshu, and the three ministers did not speak from beginning to end.
As the first assistant, Xie Changen even squinted as if he was asleep, he didn't want to get involved.
The argument lasted for half an hour, and Zhu Jinghong was listening carefully at first, but in the later stage, he yawned directly.
The matter of change, to put it bluntly, depends on the attitude of the emperor, and when he encounters a monarch like Qin Xiaogong, Shang Ying will naturally be reused.
However, most monarchs in history have lacked the courage to change, and even if they show a strong interest at first, they will back down when they encounter resistance in the later stages.
This is also human nature, even a fierce person like Zhu Xianming will be indecisive when it comes to changing the court system.
"All said and done?"
Seeing that no one answered, Zhu Xianming swept to the ministers and asked, "Who else wants to speak?" β
Although the speech just now was lively, there were still some middle (wall-riding) factions who did not speak, and it was these people that the emperor asked at the moment.
But since these people decided to ride the wall, they would not have easily decided to take sides.
Even if the emperor asked a question for the second time, these elves who had climbed to the core power layer still pretended to be deaf and dumb one by one and did not speak.
This made Zhu Xianming extremely disappointed, and he very much hoped that these people would support the change.
"King Rui...... The ministers discussed together, and each has its own merits, what is your opinion on this matter? β
Hearing that the emperor asked the sixth child first, the prince sitting next to him felt very awkward, whether it was according to his identity or the order of his behavior, he should have asked him first.
Now the old man first asked King Rui, where did he put this prince? What will the officials think of him?
The crown prince's anger has nothing to do with King Rui, who at the moment sees this as an opportunity, and he only wants to behave well.
"Returning to my father, the law of the Shang monarch is beneficial to the Qin State, but Shen is not harmful to the Korean law, which is the same as the government of the Shang monarch, but in the end, the law is bad and the country is destroyed......"
"In this way, it can be seen that there is no good or bad law, but it needs to be adapted to local conditions, and it can only be implemented because of the practical system......
"Therefore, Erchen thinks that just talking about the advantages and disadvantages of the law of the Shang monarch, ignoring the national conditions of the Qin and Han families, such an argument is tantamount to raising a pavilion in the air!"
Zhu Jingyuan knew that the emperor wanted to express his position, but at this moment he could only pretend not to understand and say some nonsense about the merits of the "Law of the Shang Monarch".
No matter where Zhu Jingyuan falls, he will offend the people on the other side to death, which Zhu Jingyuan never wants to see.
Although he had guessed that the sixth child would play tricks, Zhu Xianming was still very disappointed when he heard these words.
He takes a fancy to this son very much, so he hopes to see Zhu Jingyuan's responsibility in these major events.
After Zhu Jingyuan's tirade was finished, Zhu Xianming said in a deep voice: "Sixth, you step down!" β
"Yes!"
"Prince, what do you think about this matter?"
