Sure enough, as Fei Qian had guessed, Cai Yong's anger came from deposing the emperor. Strictly speaking, it was not because of the result of deposing the emperor, but more in the process of deposing the emperor.
At today's imperial meeting, Dong Zhuo took advantage of the civil and military gathering and announced to everyone: "The emperor is weak and cannot rule the world. Now there is a policy document, which should be read out." Then he ordered Li Ru to read the policy document to depose the emperor.
Li Ru's voice read out the policy one after another, which frightened the young emperor of Han Dynasty to the point where he was sweating all over and panicked.
Dong Zhuo, with the acquiescence of Wang Yun and Yuan Wei, proposed to abolish the emperor. No one in the Manchu Dynasty civil and military scriptures said anything, except Shangshu. Lu Zhi, the former Beizhonglang general, stood up and angrily said: "In the past, Taijia was established, but it was unknown.
Yin Fang's Tong Palace. The king of Changyi was established for twenty-seven days, and he committed thousands of crimes, so he was abolished by Huo Guang. Today, I am rich in the Spring and Autumn Period, and I have done nothing wrong. This is not a comparison of the past." - meaning before.
There are precedents for the deposed ministers Yi Yin and Huo Guang, both of whom had valid reasons. Dong Zhuo, yours is not a valid reason. It is pure nonsense. It cannot be compared with the previous Yi Yin and Huo Guang.
After speaking, Lu Zhi saw that the matter was irreversible, so he resigned from the court and went up to Gujundu Mountain to live in seclusion.
The poor Young Emperor of the Han Dynasty was sitting on the throne. When Lu Zhi first stood up, he looked around hopefully to see if any other ministers could come forward to oppose Dong Zhuo and help him say a word, but it seemed that all he saw was a group of people like him.
The ministers lowered their heads like quails, and the expectant eyes of Liu Bian, the Young Emperor of the Han Dynasty, gradually turned gray.
This is how a dramatic scene appeared.
The crown seal of the Young Emperor of the Han Dynasty was lifted, and King Chenliu was invited to the throne. A group of people, as if they had rehearsed countless times, congratulated the former King Chenliu and the new emperor in a skilled manner...
In the current dynasty, Dong Zhuo was promoted to Prime Minister, which announced that the Dong family had officially become the largest family of relatives conferred by the imperial court...
Cai Yong was actually not only angry at Dong Zhuo for deposing the emperor, but also at the ministers' acquiescence and non-resistance, including himself of course - for a moment, he had the urge to rush up to Lu Zhi and make an impassioned speech.
Impulsive, but thinking of his family and Cai Yan, he hesitated again, and just followed the trend in a confused manner, completing the entire process of the young emperor abdicating the throne and the new emperor ascending the throne.
But after going to court and returning home, Cai Yong felt that what he did today conflicted with the Confucian concepts he had learned. However, he had no way to vent his conflicting feelings, so he had to hold back his anger in his heart.
Seeing Fei Qian standing solemnly with his hands hanging down, Cai Yong endured his aggrieved mood. Remembering that Fei Qian was here to thank his teacher today, he forced himself to give Fei Qian a few words of encouragement.
But after speaking to the end, Cai Yong finally couldn't hold it back and asked Fei Qian: "Zi Yuan, what do you think about this matter, 'You can make up for it, but Gun will not be abolished'?"
Although Fei Qian subconsciously wanted to add the classic phrase "There must be something fishy about this matter", after all, Cai Yong was seeking a moral explanation in the name of literary research, so Fei Qian naturally couldn't be so shameless and fooling around.
"If you can make up for your faults, you will not be abolished" comes from Zuo Zhuan's biography of Duke Ling of Jin Dynasty.
Jin Linggong was a man full of advanced interests. He even liked to use a slingshot on the high platform of the palace wall to hit other people's little chirps. He felt very happy when he saw the passers-by avoiding...
It is unique that a dignified prince likes to do this kind of thing.
Therefore, the ministers of Jin Linggong were very worried and felt that they should guide Jin Linggong on the right path of advanced ballistics. They could not play with slingshots and shoot other people's little chirps all day long, as that would be useless.
So a minister, Zhao Dun, went to persuade Jin Linggong, but Jin Linggong said he knew it and would correct it, but he refused to change it. Later, after he tried to persuade him too much, he wanted to kill Zhao Dun when he got annoyed, but Zhao Dun was lucky.
After several attempts to protect himself, he failed to kill him, so he killed Duke Linggong of Jin. He then welcomed Hei Buti, the Duke of Jin, and established Hei Buti as the king.
In fact, Fei Qian has seen Zuo Zhuan and is relatively familiar with Zuo Zhuan. Every time he sees this, Fei Qian wants to laugh. People in the Spring and Autumn Period were so simple. The name is so well chosen and so vivid - Hei
Buttocks, wow, wow...still the king...
However, the focus of Cai Yong's question today is not whether the monarch's buttocks are white or black. Instead, he quoted Jin Linggong to allude to what happened in the court meeting today - "If the king can make up for it, he will not be abolished." - If Han
If the young emperor can correct his mistakes, should he not be deposed? Even if the young emperor of the Han Dynasty is at fault, should he be persuaded first, and then finally take the path of deposing the emperor when he is really hopeless?
Because in the Confucian concept, no matter how stupid and demented the so-called "Emperor" is, no matter how cruel, immoral, or perverted, he is "sacred" and cannot be offended, and cannot be easily impeached or punished, otherwise he will commit bullying.
Your Majesty, you are guilty of profanity and rebellion.
Therefore, Cai Yong felt that he should dissuade the emperor when he made mistakes, but he failed to do so. The emperor was casually deposed, and he could not dissuade him. Now that it has reached this point, he feels uneasy.
Fei Qian thought for a while, he was a good master in everything, but he was a bit too idealistic. Didn't you see that the civil and military officials in the entire dynasty didn't say much, and most of them happily welcomed the new emperor, so who else would care about the deposed emperor?
ah?
But you can't just say it to Cai Yong directly, otherwise he will be scolded to death by Cai Yong. Even though Cai Yong didn't dare to scold Dong Zhuo in the court, Cai Yong wouldn't think it was daring to scold his own disciples.
question.
Fei Qian thought for a while and said: "Song and Chu made an alliance under the city, and the alliance said, 'I have no deceit, and you have no danger.'" - This refers to the deception between Chu and Song at that time, and it was written in the covenant.
Everything in it can be openly overthrown, let alone an emperor now. Master, you are an honest gentleman to others, but others may not be honest gentlemen!
Who doesn’t cheat? Without cheating, it’s hard to stand and seek benefits for oneself. The so-called “unjust wars in the Spring and Autumn Period” also include the interest disputes between countries to a certain extent, and always contain elements of fraud.
The current situation is also the same. Look at Dong Zhuo's army approaching Luoyang City. In this case, what second option is there? Besides, who in the civil and military dynasties is not seeking their own interests? The Yuan family, the Wang family
Why didn't you say anything? Is there no fraud or profit behind this?
Cai Yong sighed: "That's the case, but..." Cai Yong didn't finish what he said, but he understood the meaning clearly and everyone understood the truth, but when encountering practical problems, they often may not be able to do it.
Cai Yong shook his head. Although he seemed a little more relieved than before, he was still not in a good mood. He patted Fei Qian on the shoulder and told Fei Qian to go back and study hard, so he let Fei Qian go back.
When Fei sneaked out of Cai's house, he was still thinking whether Cai Yong's character was the reason why Dong Zhuo was so contradictory in history? But looking at it now, Dong Zhuo didn't give Cai Yong a big official position. Cai Yong should
Wouldn't he be grateful to Dong Zhuo?
Fei Qian thought about it, and in order to ensure that his guess was correct, he felt it was necessary to go to another person to test it out, although it was quite difficult...
