Chapter 89: Funeral and Death Knell (1)

. "Would you recite it together?" Xu Jie looked silently and said, "What does it mean?"

Chen Si also looked at Xu Jie and said heavily: "This confession is the fourth person I have ever met. The emperor and Mr. Chen don't want to make a big deal, and the teacher and the students don't want to make a big deal." As long as Yang Yushu and Hai Rui can keep silent, no one can make a big deal." Xu Jie was naturally satisfied. He looked at the silence carefully. Although his eyes were dim, he showed a look of discerning the authenticity and slowly said: "Yang Yushu said it well, that's your senior brother, but that Hai Rui, although he had a relationship with you, it's useless." Xu Jie actually prepared a foreshadowing. As long as Hai Rui made the case bigger, someone would portray silence as the mastermind behind the scenes. However, silence showed such a compromise attitude. Who would believe that he and Hai Rui were the same party?

Hai Rui's performance this time is so strong." Even Master Xu completely believed that such a sharp blade as Tiansha's lonely star was afraid that no one would have the ability to take it for himself?

"Students will try their best to persuade them." He whispered silently: "All are high-ranking officials in the breeze robe. You must understand what the overall situation is."

"I hope this is the case." I just want to let you down." Xu Jie sighed, "So many people have made a comeback." It turns out that you are the only one who is dedicated to the court."

"The teacher praised it." said quietly and humbly: "The students are just learning from you."

"Shame"," Xu Jie wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "Eat quickly, it's going to be cold."

One "one" one "one" one "one" one "one", one "one" one "one" one "one" one "one" one "one", one "one" one "one, one, one, one "one, one, one, one, one, one "one" one

Although the inner canteen has a good sound insulation, there is a wall between it and the outer canteen. And today, everyone outside has kept quiet. So I heard the sound of crying from the inside, especially the heart-wrenching cry of Master Chen, "like blood-jerking cries of cuckoos. I heard the Si Zhilang and the Shemen muttering in my heart. What did Yuan Fu do to Master Chen and hurt him like this?

The news flew across various channels. In just one morning, it spread throughout the Fengbayamen in the capital, making the high-ranking officials and minor officials unwilling to work. They put down their work, gathered together and whispered to discuss the various things that happened in the palace and the cabinet today.

What the officials are most concerned about is naturally why the emperor summoned the old master Chen to the palace at the Yin hour after reading the files of the Hu Zongxian case? This extremely abnormal situation must be related to the case, and the person involved must have a very high level and is very close to the emperor... Why? Because all officials know that the current emperor is a master who "drives his horse to the field" and is just passing by. There is a problem with the six ministers and nine ministers, and he cannot be shocked to sleep all night.

In the memory of all officials, there have been only twice in this way. One was when the Mongols slaughtered Shizhou City last year and approached Beijing City, and the other was when Gao Gong was defeated last year and he was determined to leave. So they had reason to believe that this time, the emperor's confidant was involved in this case.

In fact, there are only a few people coming and going, "it's really hard to guess." But I don't know where the wind in the palace and the clouds in the cabinet will float. All officials are worried that the disaster will come from their mouths, so they all agreed to use "that, or "sir, replace it" and "who is the one who refers to it" is actually tacit.

The most heated discussion among all officials was that the emperor issued an order early this morning, ordering the Ministry of Rites to immediately agree on Hu Zongxian's ambition and posthumous title... As a very complicated figure, Hu Zongxian's identity as a hero against Japanese devils and a gangster in Yan Song made him suffer controversy and even criticism since the day he appeared on the stage of history. Of course, in different historical periods, the severity and importance of it vary. When he and Zhao Wenhua jointly framed Zhang Jing and Li Tianchong, although

Although the court was angry and dared not speak out, the people and the literati in the opposition called him a villain who helped the evil. However, when he carried the seven provinces on his shoulders and turned the tide for ten years of resistance, his praise and praise for him gradually overwhelmed the criticism. Until the Japanese siege was basically pacified and the Southeast was restored to stability, his reputation reached a glorious peak. At that time, his criticism of him was completely covered by the light of thousands of feet.

However, its prosperity and decline were so sudden and rapid and full of necessity... After the Japanese riots were pacified, the court no longer needed a Southeast King with a high prestige and heavy army. The story of birds hiding and rabbits cooking dead is repeated. Of course, the reason why he was cooked so quickly has a lot to do with his relationship with Yan Pu.

, If you prosper with this, you will die with this. The historical laws of the past have been staged again. The help and backers of the past have now become original sin and disaster. Hu Zongxian was regarded as a thorn in his eyes that must be removed from the future and the thorn in his flesh. It soon became famous everywhere. Questions and criticisms quickly raised their heads, causing his unparalleled achievements to gradually fade. Hu Zongxian also stepped down in disgrace" and faded out of people's vision.

However, the outbreak of the forged imperial edicts several years later pushed him to the forefront again. His personal fate and reputation also rose and fell sharply like a storm. He was arrested by Dongchang and taken to Beijing for trial. He was unanimously criticized by Shilin: then he was bizarrely tried in Shandong and died and suffered a lot. Shen Ge went to Beijing to complain for him. After seeing his remains, he vomited blood. All of this aroused great sympathy from Shilin and the people..., Chinese people have always had the tradition of "declaring the merits of the deceased regardless of faults, let alone a national sage who made contributions to the country and was tortured to death by Dongchang and the treacherous villains. Public opinion quickly turned to the forefront, and his affirmation of Hu Zongxian's achievements and sympathy for his experiences had an absolute advantage!

However, there have always been disharmonious voices. After all, those who conspire to persecute Hu Zongxian, those who believe in the fact that their meritorious service is small, and those who lose their integrity are big, and those who think they are right in the direction of the wind do not want to see Hu Zongxian as a detective, and still spare no effort to continue to smear him.

One fact is that in the forty days since the death of Hu Zongxian, the Tongzhengsi Department received more than 70 letters and more than 30 people impeached him. Although he was kept by Emperor Longqing and refused to issue it, it still spread through various channels.

People say, "It's a good thing that the Censorate is deeply troubled this time, and the censors have no face to say anything. The remaining six departments are left to the officials, otherwise the praise and criticism of Hu Zongxian would definitely be another uproar, and they would never be as one-sided as they are now.

Now the emperor ordered Hu Zongxian to agree on his honor and posthumous title, which naturally means that the emperor is ready to forgive his sins and "give him affirmation and compensation. But it does not mean that the debate on Hu Zongxian's right and wrong can end... Although the Ming Dynasty nominally ordered the Hanlin Academy to be appointed by the Ministry of Rites to agree after listening to the public opinion, it will be granted by the emperor. But in fact, because the votes for the memorials are in the hands of the cabinet, and there is no special situation, the emperor will not reject the decision of his auxiliary minister, so it is still a matter of two things to give a posthumous title, "even whether to give a posthumous title."

As for Ai Rong, Feng Yin and others, the power is actually in the hands of the cabinet, or it is clearly stated that it is in the hands of the old master Xu. "And Xu Ge Lao came to power through the rebellion, and his attitude towards Hu Zongxian has always been very clear, and he is even considered to be the mastermind behind his series of tragedies. So what will happen? The officials are talking and waiting to see.

The more mainstream view is that in the end, it may be based on the doctrine of the mean, "give him a posthumous title that praises and criticizes the merits and demerits of Half Hu Zongxian." This does not violate the holy intention, but can also be accepted by Mr. Xu.

Even at this moment, all officials still held that view... Although the holy intention was difficult to disobey, the emperor still had to listen to Mr. Xu! This is the terrifying prestige accumulated by Mr. Xu over the years.

One "one" one, one "one", one, one "one" one, one "one", one, one "one", one "one" one "one" one "one", one "one" one "one", one "one" one "one", one "one" one "one", one "one" one "one, one "one", one "one", one "one", one "one", one "one", one "one", one "one",

However, what officials talked about the most was the crying sounds from the cabinet cafeteria. The simple material has been processed and has a nose and eyes. What is even more amazing is that it is not far from the truth, "...

"The Record of Taizu" is not a confidential document. At least the talents in the Hanlin Academy can recite it back and forth. Therefore, when Xu Jie wanted to drink with Shen Mo in the early morning, they would naturally remind them of that classic joke. Therefore, the story thus extended them to say that "Shen Mo is the top scholar. He has read "The Record of Taizu" for many times" and is familiar with it. When he saw the wine glass, he had already remembered the two sentences of Taizu: "Drink the golden cup together, and the sword will not be spared."

This is to force Shen Mo to express his opinion. Of course, Shen Mo was frightened. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed, asking: Where did the student offend the teacher? "I gave up on two senior officials" is enough to explain to you.

Mr. Xu said: But you still hold on to the case and let Hai Gangfeng bite people like a mad dog. What kind of intention do you have? Do you want to catch me and take it over? Such heartbreaking words certainly made Shen Mo cry and kowtow and ask Old Xu to forgive him. Then he first reviewed his uncool behavior in recent times, and then made a pity and promise, saying that the case would turn into a small matter, and thus gain Xu Xiang's understanding.

In addition, there are rumors in the market that Xu Jie actually knocked and pulled Shen Mo, using the fine wine blade first to scare him, and then the teachers and students hugged their heads and cried again, "and then they made up as before. This is not the officials hope that the story will have a happy ending." But they all saw that the other two students of Xu Ge Lao fell into their crotch this time. It was not shit or shit anyway. Even if they were lucky enough to escape this disaster, they also drew the brand, how could they win the title of the chief minister again?

If Xu Jie couldn't do anything to Shen Mo, he had to keep a disciple who had to be fully qualified for the future, right?

The reason why officials can guess is actually very simple, because they all believe that with the reputation and status of Mr. Xu, those who are in line will prosper, and those who are in a rebellious state will perish, and even the emperor will have to give in. So in front of him, Mr. Shen has to be a dragon and a tiger, and even if he takes up all the principles of the world, he will not dare to rebel Xu.

The so-called shadow of a tree and the name of a person, this is due to Xu Ge Lao's prestige. Prestige seems invisible and invisible, but it can be invincible to the world after a certain level of accumulation. Wang Mang Yangwang had been able to jump into the Han Dynasty for twenty years and almost no one opposed it; Wang Anshi Yangwang had been in trouble for twenty years, and a series of reforms made the country go crazy and scattered. Officials wanted to hang themselves, but no one dared to fight against him. This is the power of his reputation after a certain level of popularity.

Xu Jie's greatest reliance is not that his disciples and former officials are everywhere, nor that he has won the hearts of the people by "Jiajing's will", nor that he is in charge of the prime minister's authority, but his own prestige. This powerful prestige prevents all enemies from facing him head-on, making people believe that he is invincible, even if his opponent is the emperor, he will not be able to do anything to him.

Only by realizing Xu Jie's strong prestige can we understand why silence still dared not act rashly while establishing a great position, but continued to stick to the painful line without wavering. It is because he knew that "once a head-on conflict broke out", under Xu Jie's prestige, his advantage would be gone in an instant like a boiling soup and pouring snow on.

This is not alarmist. He is facing his own teacher, and he is a powerful and invincible prime minister of the empire. Except for a few hardcore, "will not support him, everyone will leave him. In the end, this battle can only become a battle for him alone, and the ending will naturally be destined.

It's still the same story, facing a powerful enemy, facing a rash move is tantamount to self-destruction. "......... This starts from the day when the silence decides to pull Xu Jie off the horse." He maintains a clear understanding of this.

However, the silence and Xu Jie have been resentful for a long time. The Hu Zongxian incident was the fuse of the printing and dyeing explosive barrels. When the crazy idea of ​​bullying the master and destroying the ancestors dominated, he had to do this. "...... Otherwise, how could he deserve Yang Bo's comment, the most rational madman?

The so-called sensible madman is to use the most rational actions to achieve the craziest thoughts. For silence, he has repeatedly checked the big question in his mind countless times, and he has already had a complete set of dragon-slaying strategies!

I admit that you, Mr. Xu, are really invincible in the world... But you are not the emperor of the demigod body after all, and you also have your own weaknesses!

Your weakness is that it is too strong! Unconsciously, it exceeds the rules of today's monarchical society that allow, the Ming Dynasty "only one sky" is the emperor, not you. Even if the dark clouds are dense, it covers the sky, if the clouds are clear, the fog will be dissipated, it will be just a gust of wind.
