Zhang Heling was a titled title by a relative of the foreign country. With his knowledge, he could not even pass the exam for a scholar in the Ming Dynasty. When the imperial examination was held, the Hanlin people were all listening to the records. How could this marquis have the qualification to interrupt on weekdays?

But today, Zhang Heling came forward to solve the doubts of Emperor Hongzhi in full view of everyone, which really surprised the unknown ministers Wu.

Perhaps even Zhu Youting did not expect that his brother-in-law, who had little talent and knowledge, stepped forward and was stunned for a moment before saying, "Marquis Shouning, if you don't know, just leave."

Zhu Youzhang looked down on Zhang Heling's talent. It was not that he wanted to give Zhang Heling's face in public, but that he did not want to influence the royal reputation because Zhang Heling "talk nonsense" in such a serious occasion. Zhu Youzhang's idea was: "Even if you really know, you can't make a correct point with your level. What I want now is a gentle way to say something wrong and let the ministers start a discussion."

But Zhang Heling had already come out of his ministers and wanted to help the emperor solve his worries but was not allowed. He was so disappointed that he would lose face.

Zhang Heling gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I do get something occasionally."

Zhu Youzhang nodded.

Zhang Heling was looked at by the ministers, his face turned a little red, but he still said respectfully, "When I go back to your majesty, I investigated that Prince Yi died in the 25th year of Hongwu. Taizu had not yet established the prince for a long time. At that time, Taizong fought in the north and guarded the territory, which was valued by Taizu. However, when Taizu died in the 31st year of Hongwu, he left an imperial edict to take Taizong as the imperial heir and inherit the throne. However, there were thieves Qi Taitai, Huang Zicheng, Fang Xiaoru and others who were unable to return to the border, and supported the son of Prince Yi to succeed the throne, and violated the order of Taizu's throne, "brothers and brothers". By the 35th year of Hongwu, Emperor Taizong was assisted by the wise and wise men in the court and succeeded the throne in Yingtian. He killed treacherous ministers and established national policies, which was to create the foundation for the Ming Dynasty for all generations. Therefore, all false seals issued by the thief rebels were abolished and within four years. There was no code of the throne."

Zhang Heling was not quick, but his ups and downs were very rhythmic. Although he explained the general situation clearly, he obviously ignored several key issues.

Zhang Heling mentioned the "Jingnan", which was a breakthrough. Moreover, after Zhu Di ascended the throne, he indeed abolished the new political and legal codes promulgated during the Jian period, and everything was restored to the old system of Hongwu.

This is his respect for historical facts.

However, Zhang Heling did not mention that Taizu appointed the "Crown Prince" in this statement. However, Taizu passed on the throne with his will, saying that Taizu passed on the throne "in the end of the brother" of the throne inheritance mentioned by Taizu, but selectively ignored the second and third brothers of the crown prince Zhu Biao, namely the King of Qin and King of Jin at that time.

This is also a place where Zhu Di's legal succession to the throne has been difficult to justify himself. Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang thought that this fourth son was capable, but the basic ancestral system was in place. Before the Ming Dynasty, there was no tradition of the Qing Dynasty using the will to select the virtuous and abandoning the eldest and the young. Even if "brothers ended up with the younger brothers", he should have passed the throne to the King of Qin and Jin, not the King of Yan.

Chen Xi felt a little scared after hearing Zhang Heling's words.

Zhang Heling did not say what he wrote yesterday. It seemed that the guests of the Shouning Marquis' Mansion carefully analyzed the pros and cons for him, and believed that the matter was brought up too obvious and could easily be caught by Emperor Hongzhi and all officials, so he sorted out such an inappropriate remark for him.

In this way, after Zhang Heling finished speaking, Minister Wu, present, shook his head repeatedly.

Whether it is those who support the restoration of the year or those who do not support it, they all think that Zhang Heling's words are undesirable.

After hearing this, Zhu Youting's face was gloomy and terrible. Obviously, his brother-in-law's words did not match his wishes. Zhu Youting looked up at the ministers present and asked, "What the Lord of Shouning said is true?"

This question is hard to answer!

Zhang Heling was obviously nonsense. But standing up for refutation publicly means picking out the unfair parts of it. It violates the tone set by Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty since Emperor Taizong surrendered to the past dynasties, and it is easy to cause trouble. Moreover, the direct denial of Shouning Hou has left him unfair and is easily retaliated by the relatives of the outside world.

No one dared to stand up and refute the court officials, even those Hanlin bachelors who have always been known for their integrity, and of course no one affirmed them.

When Chen Xi saw this situation, he was a little unlucky!

Of course, it may be a good thing if it continues to be cold. Emperor Hongzhi may put the memorial and stop exploring it in depth, so he can get away with it.

But Emperor Hongzhi Zhu Youzhe obviously did not give up so easily. He picked up the memorial and asked the eunuch of Sili to hand it over to Xie Qian: "Xie Shaobao, you read this memorial."

"Abide by the order." Xie Qian took the memorial to Chenxi, stood up, and turned to face the military officials present... neither read it as a lecturer, nor did he need to go back to the case. He just needed to read the memorial to read it according to the book as if he was reading the imperial edict.

Fortunately, Xie Qian did not read Chen Xi's name, but only proposed some old systems about the new policy of building Chen Xi.

At the end of the memorial, Chen Xi begged Emperor Hongzhi to give instructions on whether to list these new policies in the "Da Ming Hui Dian", which is actually asking Emperor Hongzhi whether to face up to the historical facts of the existence of the founding of the year.

Of course, Chen Xi would not be so stupid that he proposed to ask the emperor to give the temple name to build the emperor. He must have been sure that this emperor had existed, because he knew that since Yongle, he ended with Emperor Chongzhen, and the orthodox Ming Dynasty had never confirmed Zhu Yun's throne. Even the Wanli rehabilitation of the reign of the reign was based on the need to study history.

The temple name of Emperor Hui of Ming was not available until the Southern Ming Dynasty and was later recognized by the rulers of the Qing Dynasty.

When Xie Qian finished reading the memorial, the ministers present looked unfavorable, and there was a little talk in the crowd.

Even Zhu Xizhou, who has always had a good temper, was muttering in a low voice: "Who is so ignorant of the image and submitting such a copy? Could it be that I am a native of the Hanlin Academy?"

Wang Zan pulled him, and Zhu Xizhou did not continue talking.

This question is actually certain. The person who submitted the memorial was obviously the person who compiled the "Da Ming Hui Dian", and the Hanlin Academy has always been responsible for this task.

But Zhu Xizhou's complaints were not directed at his colleagues, but at "Shangguan". In the eyes of Zhu Xizhou and officials of the Hanlin Academy, such memorials involving the orthodox imperial heirs were not dared to mention by ordinary officials. Xie Qian intended to fail to read who submitted the report, which was obviously intended to "cover up" this person so as not to attract public opinion attacks.

The meticulous use of words and sentences in this memorial book is far beyond the reach of ordinary Hanlin. The whole article is about building old things, but it does not mix a slight subjective view, and there is no suggestion. The requests sound reasonable, but in fact they are posing problems for Emperor Hongzhi.

If this kind of memorial to the emperor is usually a question, it is just a matter of causing trouble. It either issues an order to scold the emperor, or it is left unpublished.

But today, since Emperor Hongzhi chose to take this issue to the lecture for discussion from the very beginning, he naturally hopes that the deeper the problem in this memorial, the better. Only in this way can the ministers discuss it.

From this point of view, this writer is well aware of the way of being a minister and knows when and what kind of copy is played.

People in the Hanlin Academy and ministers present were speculating who presented the memorial. Seeing Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others sitting upright, they expected that no more than six people could write this memorial, namely: Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Wang Jiao, Wu Kuan, and Xu Qiong.

Needless to say, the first three are all Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. They have always been "in unison" with Emperor Hongzhi on major issues of right and wrong.

Wang Yang is a Hanlin Bachelor and is now in charge of the Hanlin Academy. When Cheng Minzheng, vice president of the Ming Dynasty Hui Dian, was imprisoned and Xie Qian had no time to take into account the book review, the final review of the draft of the Ming Dynasty Hui Dian will be completed with him, based on his knowledge and official experience. This memorial is very similar to his style.

The fifth person, Wu Kuan, is a Zhanshi in the Zhanshi Mansion. He just returned last year and went to the East Pavilion to teach the prince to study. Now he is in charge of imperial edicts and is the best candidate for the seven future ministers.

Originally, with Xu Qiong's embarrassing identity now, others might not think of him, but as Emperor Hongzhi's "brother-in-law", Emperor Hongzhi always took the initiative to discuss any major rituals and ruling issues. If Emperor Hongzhi really intends to find someone to submit a memorial, he may also choose someone to draft it on his behalf and submit it to the Minister of Rites. It is reasonable.

At this time, no one would have thought that this memorable memorial was actually written by Shen Xi, an editor of the Hanlin Academy who was unknown in the court.

The noise in the crowd quickly subsided and the entire hall returned to silence.

Zhu You said: "The classics I have compiled since I ascended the throne are only two of the "Xianzong Records" and "Huidian". I always think about my own mistakes and learn from history to make the people healthy and prosperous... There have been deviations in the compilation of "Huidian". I have been in a state of uneasy for several days. What do you think?"

Xu Qiong, Minister of Rites, walked out of the crowd and said: "Return to Your Majesty, I think that the codes that the old dynasty have been abolished, and they should not be recorded in the book of the classics. The old system of Taizu is the foundation of the establishment of the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Taizong's actions have followed the "Instructions of the Emperor Ming Dynasty", which is the correctness of the codes of the Ming Dynasty and cannot be violated. Please ask Your Majesty to punish those who wrote this letter to face the truth."

Before anyone else expressed his opinion, Xu Qiong first jumped out to set a tone of opposition and raised the blame for the person who was reporting.

The second is to punish the crime. In fact, Xu Qiong took the initiative to tell the ministers: The person who submitted the memorial was not me, and I did not accept any instruction from the emperor. I myself opposed this matter and I must stand up to safeguard the legitimacy of Emperor Taizong's throne.

Shen Xi was not too nervous after hearing this, because Xu Qiong's focus was not on his proposal to cure his own crime, but in the first half, if we say that Xu Qiong and Zhang Heling's tone were basically the same, they both denied the fact that Taizong was usurping the throne... Perhaps Zhang Heling's speech today was the result of discussion with Xu Qiong.

Shen Xi was a little puzzled: "Xu Qiong may be mature and steadfast and does not like to cater to the superiors, but the Zhang brothers are simply the vocal insects of Emperor Hongzhi. Now Emperor Hongzhi obviously has the intention to restore the establishment of the reign, so it would be fine if others objected, but why did Zhang Heling jump out to object?"

When Zhu Youzhang heard this advice, he had a lot of intention to stop the matter, but he was still a little unwilling to give up.

The matter of determining the law and rule is not good for the emperor to end, otherwise it will affect the reputation of the emperor. However, Zhu Youzhang himself is an indecisive person and pays great attention to other people's opinions. Hearing Xu Qiong's comments so sincerely, but others did not raise objections, according to his previous habits, he could easily nod and respond.

Just when the scene was a little stagnant, Ma Sheng, who had always been a mature man, suddenly asked: "There are few wise emperors in the Five Dynasties, so won't you compile the "History of the Five Dynasties"?"
