Chapter 175: Good Birds Choose Trees, Virtuous Ministers Choose Masters
"When did the crown prince ascend the throne?" After Zhang Hua received this holy decree, although he already knew that the first emperor had died and the prince had just ascended the throne, he still didn't understand this specific matter, so he asked Bian Cuidao.
"Back to Taishan Boss, His Majesty was on the stage to worship his ancestors on the last month's Gui Chou Ri Gengshen, and officially ascended the throne as the emperor in the Taiji Palace, and changed the Yuan Yongkang!" Bian Cui was a servant in the court, and he had just come from Luoyang to issue a holy decree, so he was naturally very clear about the major events in the court.
If according to the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty, Bian Cui is Zhang Hua's son-in-law, and if he is implicated in this, even if he is exempted from the death penalty, he must be dismissed. In this matter, Lin Yi was extremely gracious to Bian Cui, not only did he not remove the title, but he was still reinstated. This Bian Cui is naturally grateful to Lin Yi, Lin Yi is the emperor, according to the usual amnesty to the world, Lin Yi has long been re-enabled, Zhang Hua is the head of the auxiliary ministers of the court, and the title of Duke of Zhuangwu County is still listed. Bian Cui knew the important position of Zhang Hua in the new emperor, so he volunteered to come to Fanyang to issue the holy decree.
"The first emperor has passed away, I don't know what his nickname is?" Zhang Hua asked again.
"The first emperor was called Emperor Hui, and after His Majesty ascended the throne, he immediately carried out a state funeral for the first emperor, keeping filial piety for the first emperor for three years, and mourning for the whole country for three days!" Bian Cui replied. Although Zhang Hua is now living in seclusion in the countryside, he has only heard about the death of the former emperor and the grief of the whole country, but he does not know the details.
"The first emperor is gentle and benevolent, and he is called Emperor Hui, which is indeed the most suitable, very pertinent!" Zhang Hua replied.
In ancient times, after the death of emperors, nobles, ministers, and scholars, the titles given according to their deeds during their lifetimes were called nicknames. The law is "soft and benevolent to the people". It's true that Sima Zhen is mentally handicapped, but he has been manipulated by the harem of the ministers, and he has no opinions, which can be called soft, since he has no opinions, he has never done anything nostalgic, just a puppet, and can barely be said to be a benevolent people, this is the knowledge of the royal face.
There are not many people who are nicknamed "Emperor Hui" in history, except for Sima Zhen. There are also Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty Liu Ying and Emperor Hui of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Yunwen (after arriving in the Hongguang Dynasty of the Southern Ming Dynasty. The nickname given by the emperor is basically a relatively cowardly emperor.
In fact, "Hui" is not a good nickname in the first place, it is mostly used for puppet semi-puppet monarchs, and has nothing to do with IQ. And he is the opposite. The clever nickname is "Zhao".
"The old man is already old. I'm afraid it's powerless. Besides, the East Palace is full of talents, and there are countless celebrities and talents! The virtuous son-in-law should go back and thank the saint for me first. Public security (Zhang Hua, eldest grandson, Zhang Yu. The old man will not long after the meeting, and he will go to Luoyang to thank him for his guilt!" Zhang Hua directly refused. According to his understanding of Lin Yi, he will be the emperor in the future, and he will definitely invite him out of the mountain, so he left Luoyang early and lived in seclusion in the ancestral countryside thousands of miles away!
Since ancient times, the spirit of scholars and doctors who carry the Tao with literature and do not bend their waists for five buckets of rice has been infecting generations of literati and writers, one after another. Before the Central Plains was occupied by the barbarians, especially in the free-spirited and arrogant era of the Wei and Jin dynasties, scholars openly disobeyed orders and refused the holy order of the imperial court to become officials, which was a kind of spiritual and faith inheritance. If you are the emperor, is the emperor great? Lao Tzu just doesn't want to be an official, what can you do, just kill me if you have a kind! This kind of spiritual thought is simply unimaginable in the minds of Manchu slaves, but thousands of years ago it was an abounding existence!
According to this Zhang Hua's character, Bian Cui had already expected that his father-in-law would refuse to enter the court as an official, but since he had already boasted about Haikou in front of the emperor, Mao recommended himself, took the matter on his shoulder, and made a military order, so he naturally tried his best to persuade him!
"After His Royal Highness took power, the first thing he did was to arrange for Du Xi and other ministers in the court to seriously revise this Taishi law, completely abolish the punishment of the Lian Zheng clan, emphasize the law and light the punishment, recuperate, reduce the burden of the people, let the people live a stable life, develop production, and restore vitality. ”
"If it weren't for this, the old man would have been in a different place by now, and he was afraid that even his family would fall into prison, and he wouldn't know whether he was alive or dead!" Zhang Hua interrupted Bian Cui's speech and interjected.
Where there are people, there is a fight, once the son of heaven and a courtier, he knows that Lin Yi is the emperor, no matter what, he will inevitably reuse the general advisers of the East Palace, he occupies such a high position, I am afraid that those old officials of the East Palace will be difficult to tolerate him. He has been in the officialdom all his life, he has long been tired of intrigues, and he does not want to be involved in the factional struggle of the imperial court. Besides, he has reached the age of 70, and his life has been rare in ancient times, and the Spring and Autumn Period can still be geometric! The most important thing is that he now has confidence in the new emperor and can govern this country well, and this country no longer needs him, a dying old man!
He knew that although Lin Yi had always respected him very much, the forest was too big and there were all kinds of birds! In the court, he was afraid that many princes and ministers would take the opportunity to take his life! When he was young, because he insisted on his own opinion, he strongly advocated the defeat of Wu, and believed that the defeat of Wu would be victorious. Since then, it has become famous, respected and convincing by everyone, and Emperor Wu regarded it as the talent of the prime minister, and the minister of humerus in the court, but because of this, he attracted the jealousy of Xun Miao, Jia Chong and other favored ministers, and waited for the opportunity to transfer him to other towns to serve, away from the central hub.
For so many years, Zhang Huagang has been upright, selfless, enforces the law like a mountain, and is heroic and upright, but I am afraid that he has offended many princes and ministers intentionally or unintentionally. With the relationship between him and Jia Hou's party, these people are afraid that they can just find a few excuses to make him ruined and die in a foreign country!
"The old man was punished and killed, and the ending was really pitiful!" He thought that his old age would end so miserably, but he didn't expect that in order to save them, Lin Yi would revise the "Taishi Law" that had been issued by the imperial court for decades. Not only did it save thousands of people in the world from being slaughtered among the same people, but it was precisely from the source that the practice of exterminating humanity of the Zhu tribe was prohibited. He just didn't want Lin Yi to launch a mutiny to seize the government, wasn't it because he didn't want to kill innocents indiscriminately, and he was in the same room! Unexpectedly, he not only did what he wanted, but also did it several times better than he imagined!
"I am good for the good, I am good for the bad, and I am good for the bad, and I am virtuous. I believe in those who believe, I also believe in those who do not believe, and I believe in virtue. From Lin Yi's execution of the backbone of Najia's later party, Zhang Hua saw Lin Yi's determination, and he was proud of him. I treat a good person with kindness, and I treat an unkind person with kindness, and as a result, he will also become kind. The honest man, I believe in him, the dishonest man, I also believe in him, and the result will make him honest too. What a noble feeling!
"Death for a confidant!" What reason does he have not to go out of the mountain to help him share his worries and solve problems! However, he knows that some things are like a tiger's tail and a dragon's scales, and even the king of a country is afraid that he will not dare to move easily! There are only many ministers in the court who are jealous and jealous of him, and it is because he was born in a poor family, not a child of the scholar clan! With such constraints, how can he let go of his hands and feet! This makes Lin Yi embarrassed, and it is better to end up in the mountains and forests.
"After His Royal Highness ascended the throne as emperor, the first thing he did now was to vigorously control the trend of extravagance and vigorously eradicate the extravagance and waste of the Holy Dynasty. If you are thrifty, you will be good, and if you are extravagant, you will be wanton, and if you are wanton, you will indulge in all evils. If you are thrifty, you will be temperate, and if you are temperate, all kinds of goodness will arise, and if you are extravagant, you will be presumptuous, and if you are unbridled, all evils will burst out. His Majesty actually admonished the officials and subjects like this. In less than a month, many powerful people in the capital have been punished for extravagance, ranging from punishment to demotion and dismissal!
This second thing is to vigorously select and recruit talents, appoint people on the basis of merit, make the best use of their talents, and truly achieve the goal of leaving no trace of talents, especially an old minister like Lord Taishan who has experience in governing the country and is upright and upright, which is what the saint urgently needs today! The saint has already prepared for the lord the position of the head of the hundred officials! Therefore, the son-in-law came by himself!" Bian Cui continued to say eloquently.
"It seems that the emperor has seen the source of the world's growing weakness, that is, the wind of luxury! This should be the credit of Yimin (Pei Yizi)!" Zhang Hua replied. All this was expected by him, and he was not surprised at all, but he was still as firm as iron and did not accept this holy decree.
"Master Pei has already gone out of the dust to seek the Tao! I haven't even left a single letter to my family! There are only a few manuscripts left!" Bian Cui replied.
"Retreat to the mountains and forests, send love to the mountains and rivers!Stay away from the red dust, ask for immortals! This may be the best destination for Yimin!" Zhang Hua replied lightly. At this moment, he finally understood why the emperor asked him to return to the capital so urgently to assist him! A good minister like Pei Yimin had already escaped to seek the Tao, and he didn't want to lose a good minister like Zhang Hua again!
"The gentleman has the right to become an official; the gentleman has no way, and he retreats to the mountains and forests! Doesn't Lord Pei's resignation without saying goodbye show that His Royal Highness is a prince without a way? Or is he dissatisfied with His Majesty's dismissal from office? Although His Majesty is very big-bellied, there are already quite a few ministers in the court who are indignant about this matter!" Bian Cui is also unhappy for the emperor.
"Your Majesty has long expected that Lord Taishan will refuse to join the WTO, there is a saying that the son-in-law will tell the adult, if the adult still insists on living in seclusion in the mountains after hearing it, His Majesty will naturally let go!"
"A good bird chooses a tree to perch on, and a virtuous minister chooses the lord to do things? Your Majesty will meet the ministers with the countrymen, and the ministers will repay the countrymen!" Zhang Hua finally made up his mind with hatred, and then knelt on his knees, facing the southeast, and accepted the holy decree very respectfully.
Maxima often exists, but Bole does not often have! How many people's dreams do heroes meet their masters, and finding a master has become the ideal state of these people. Many people spend their lives just trying to meet the Lord and show their ambitions. This encounter is like a fish meeting water, free and comfortable. Since Lin Yi is so straightforward and straightforward, Zhang Hua also hates to make up his mind, even if there is a minefield in front of him, he will never back down......!
