Chapter 710 Once upon a time there was Emperor Guangwu
In the present, it seems that giving people a title is just a game of words, and it has no practical impact on national economy and people's livelihood. However, it was different in the Ming Dynasty. Under the major policy of loyalty and filial piety, one title, one sacrifice specification, and one gift all let people see signs of over-the-counter or even rebellion. The lightest one confuses the public, and the heavy one shakes the foundation of the country.
As the saying goes, feudal etiquette and law are even greater than law. Everything must be followed by etiquette and rules. First of all, it cannot disrupt the order of superiority and inferiority between the king, minister, minister, father, son and son. The king and father, the king and father, the king and the father, and the emperors who were the kings before Zhu Houcong were both emperors. Zhu Houcong and Wuzong were cousins of the same generation. It is reasonable to not recognize Wuzong as their father, but it is absolutely impossible not to recognize Xiaozong Zhu Youcheng as their father. Now Zhu Houcong is becoming more and more powerful, and he actually intends to respect his biological father who has not been the emperor for one day as the emperor's examination.
If King Xing Zhu Youze was posthumously named Emperor, then should his tablet be placed before the tablet of Wuzong or after the tablet of Wuzong? How should Empress Dowager Zhang, who is still alive in the palace, be placed? If the etiquette and law are messed up, then everything will be messed up!
Therefore, in view of Yang Tinghe and Xie Qian, the ministers who insisted on the orthodox of the royal family, Zhu Hougui's approach to posthumously signing his biological father as emperor was contrary to the etiquette of the monarch and ministers, father and son, and was shaking the foundation of the country, and trying to establish the lineage of Xingwang as the orthodox of the royal family. Therefore, they had to fight for reason and oppose it with all their lives.
Therefore, the "big ceremony" that is boring to modern people is a great event in the eyes of the ministers of the Ming Dynasty. Xu Jin was a time traveler and did not have so many rules and regulations in his thoughts, but he had to be very cautious in his statement on this matter.
Therefore, when Xu Jin faced the pit that Xie Qian dug for him, he was immediately in a difficult situation. He expressed his support for Xie Qian and stabbed the young emperor Zhu Houguan with a knife. Xu Jin naturally would not do it, but expressing his opposition to Xie Qian is equivalent to slapping himself. Not only will he become a joke in the official literary world, but it is also equivalent to confirming that he is a flattering official.
At this moment, Xie Qian opened his old eyes wide and stared at Xu Jin with bright eyes. The officials and gentry present also raised their ears and waited for Xu Jin to respond. Only Cen Lan was still eating with relish.
"Damn it, people are old, ghosts are old, and the ancients are really not bullying me!" Xu Jin cursed in his heart. He did not change his color in front of thousands of troops, and at this time, a layer of sweat could not help but seep out of his palms.
Cen Lan finally realized that something was wrong at this time. Looking at the look of Governor Xu's eyes, nose, mouth, and heart, he couldn't help but have an idea and asked in discomfort: "Mr. Xu, who is Han Guangwu? Is he very wise?"
Xu Jin was alive in an instant and coughed lightly, "Han Guangwu was Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He was a rare wise monarch."
"Oh, how wise are you?" Cen Lan asked as if she was a learning baby.
Xu Jin gave a look of praise and smiled and said, "When it comes to Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, we have to start from the day he was born.
Liu Xiu was the ninth generation grandson of Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu of Han, and was born in the AD... Wow, it was during the Jianping period of the Western Han Dynasty. It is said that on the night when Emperor Guangwu of Han was born, there was a ray of light shining on the wall. In this year, Liu Xiu's biological father, Nandunjun, grew three millets (millets) in front of the house of Liu Qin. Each plant had nine ears, one or two feet longer than ordinary millet. It was really outstanding millet, so he named his son Xiu, which means outstanding..."
Xu Jin liked to read history in his previous life, and he was very eloquent, so he talked endlessly about the boring historical materials with a little polishing. The gentry here couldn't help but be stunned. Isn't this obvious that he is talking about the left and right? He still tells stories endlessly. Isn't it too much?
Xie Qian was even more angry and his beard was trembling. However, his hometown had been an official for three dynasties and he had served as an assistant minister in the cabinet. He had never seen any storms before, so he endured it and listened to Xu Jin's speech with a calm face. The meaning was very obvious. I asked you to tell me, how long can you talk? After the talk, I asked me to ask again. Can I escape from the first day of the lunar month, can I escape from the fifteenth day?
Seeing this, the gentry looked at each other with a playful look, and they all listened to Xu Jin's "talking about the ancients".
Governor Xu was "show". From the birth of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, he talked about how he rose in the late Western Han Dynasty and finally established the Eastern Han Dynasty. Then he introduced how he was a good person and treated his meritorious officials. In short, he talked for nearly half an hour. Although many of them were intricate words from unofficial history, the gentry present was fascinated by them.
Gulugulu...
Finally, Governor Xu drank all the cup of tea in front of him, then stood up and bowed: "I have drunk too much tea, and I will lose my companion for a while."
"Haha, please give me a gift!" The gentry said subconsciously, but as soon as they said that they suddenly realized that Xu Jin was planning to escape by urinating.
Xie Qian suddenly woke up at this time and couldn't help but change his color. But at this time, Xu Jin had already left the table. He couldn't call him to stop him and let him let him go. There were three urgent things, so he could tolerate shit and pee!
Xu Jin left and walked quickly to the outsider. When he passed by the next seat, he winked at Xie Erjian. The latter immediately understood and stood up. However, just as the two were about to walk out of the hall, a Jinyiwei ran in in panic and almost collided with Xu Jin.
"Sir, it's not good. The fight is going on outside the city!" The Jinyiwei said hurriedly.
As soon as this said, everyone in the hall was shocked. Xu Jin's face changed slightly and he asked in a deep voice: "What happened?"
"The Five Hundred Battalions fought with the wolf soldiers!" Jinyiwei gasped.
Xu Jin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He thought Xu Hai was bringing people back. It turned out that the Five Hundred Battalions and the Wolf Soldiers had started. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice: "Why are the fight?"
"It seems that it was because of the military merits of the first level. At first, it was just a quarrel, but later it started, but it didn't use any weapons and fist fights!"
Xu Jin couldn't help but feel relieved. It was probably because the five hundred battalions were unwilling to accept that the wolf soldiers stole their military merits. So he turned around and said to Cen Lan, who was still greedy, "Governor Cen, Supervisor Zhou, quickly leave the city with me to suppress the enemy."
"Oh!" Governor Cen picked up a fried duck tongue in his mouth, and then reluctantly put down his chopsticks and ran over.
Xu Jin led a group of generals to walk out of the hall quickly and rushed out of the city.
It was already evening, but the sun had not yet set. When Xu Jin rushed out of the city surrounded by military generals and Jinyiwei, he saw smoke and dust rolling over the camp, hundreds of people were fighting in the same place to fight fists, while more people were shouting and scolding outside the field, cheering for their own people, and it was a mess.
Seeing this, Xu Jin almost got angry. The Jinyiwei pulled out his waist knife and shouted loudly: "Governor is here, everyone stops immediately!"
Now, Xu Jin's prestige in the army is at its peak, especially the 500th battalion's soldiers. When they heard the general coming, they were so scared that they hurriedly stopped. However, the wolf soldiers were ignorant. After all, they were a used to wild guest army, and they did not see the terrifying scene of Xu Jin killing more than 2,000 heads at the order. Therefore, these thorny guards did not even go to the Jinyiwei, and continued to grab the people from the Five Hundred Battalion.
Fortunately, Cen Lan rushed up and kicked the wolf soldiers, and sternly scolded them with her waist. These guys with fierce eyes immediately retreated with their tails and several wolf soldiers who were knocked down also crawled back to the camp with fear.
Xu Jin's face was as gloomy as ink. As he walked into the field, his eyes swept coldly across both sides. The soldiers on the Five Hundred Battalion lowered their heads in fear, while the wolf soldiers were completely opposite, one by one, and some even met Xu Jin's gaze provocatively.
Xu Jin raised his eyebrows. It seems that if these arrogant guys don’t give me some colors today, I really can’t take care of them. He asked in a deep voice: “Who fought just now, I’ll stand it up for me!”
Dozens of 500 battalions of soldiers led by Zhao Datou, Yan Lang and Pi Shiyi immediately stood up with their heads down. Cen Lan's eyes swept over his wolf soldiers with sharp eyes. Dozens of wolves led by Vanan walked out with their heads tilted, but they stood up crookedly, making people extremely angry.
