Chapter 273: Misbehavior in front of the palace, Jiang Weis urging
Wang Chen and the other two people were already bowing down to express their gratitude, but Guo Xiu still stood there blankly, without any joy on his face. He looked very awkward among the four people, even though there was Jiang Wei standing beside him to accompany him. is also like this………
Wang Chen on the side was very anxious, thinking that Guo Xiaoxian was really like the stone in the latrine, smelly and hard. He had reluctantly agreed to it yesterday under the persuasion of General Jiang Boyue and the three fellow sufferers, but he had also agreed this morning. Put on the new clothes sent by the postman,
But when it came time to officially accept the award, did he change his mind again? Wang Chen then moved his kneeling body towards Guo Xiu and touched Guo Xiu with his body, as if he wanted to use body language to indicate that he was going to kneel down to thank him, but Guo Xiu seemed to be pretending not to notice, still standing like this,
Liu Chan frowned on his round face, and he felt a little unhappy in his heart, but he had not yet exploded. After all, under the guidance of his father-in-law for so many years, he was considered a quite tolerant person, and he would not get angry easily.
Wang Chen was moaning secretly in his heart, as if the bitter bile in his body began to well up in his mouth. Today, I am afraid that the position of Minister of the Secretariat, which is easily available to him, will fly away like a duck to his mouth. It will be more serious. It is possible that he will be imprisoned again, or even beheaded!
It's a pity that he can't change anything now. It's just that he was about to go to heaven, but he was about to be thrown into hell again. He was very unwilling, but he didn't dare to persuade Guo Xiu in front of you. He didn't have the courage. ,
It would be even more troublesome if his speech was backhandedly accused of misconduct before the emperor. Although the crime of misconduct may be beheaded if it is a big crime, or it may be ignored if it is a small crime, he was just captured. The ministers of the State of Wei surrendered from the State of Wei!
No matter how lenient Liu Chan is, those people in the Shu court are not so easy to talk to. They will most likely use this to add insult to injury and impeach them for the crime of "disrespect before the emperor", which will make their situation in Shu worse. More and more misfortune comes,
Since ancient times, the emperor has been the most respected person. He is the son of God. Anyone in front of him must be careful not to say anything, and he must be even more cautious when speaking and doing things.
Perhaps it is because of this that there is a saying that accompanies you like a tiger.
But then again, even in front of gods, if a person is anxious, he cannot maintain respect. What should he do if this is the case? It is probably a crime of misconduct before the emperor.
Only a few powerful ministers can act unscrupulously in front of the emperor, just like Zhao Gao in the late Qin Dynasty could turn a deer into a horse, and even let the emperor change his throne.
There was a man named Dongfang Shuo in the Han Dynasty, who was not only alert and quick-spoken, but also wise and transcendent.
It is said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty liked Dongfang Shuo very much and would often reward him with treasures. It is conceivable that without a few brushes, Dongfang Shuo would not be so favored.
But such a scheming and wise man prefers wine. Moreover, according to records, Dongfang Shuo did not hold a big official position in his life. This is really because he would be demoted at every turn. Among them, he got into trouble because of his drinking. disaster.
One time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty hosted a banquet for the monarchs and ministers. Everyone exchanged glasses, and Dongfang Shuo couldn't help but drink too much. As the saying goes, people have three urgent needs, and urination is even more urgent after drinking. Others don't know, but Dongfang Shuo is not reserved at all, and he panics when he holds it back. It was solved right there in the main hall.
This was so extraordinary that when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went to court the next day, there was a pile of notebooks on the desk of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to impeach Dongfang Shuo. In fact, Dongfang Shuo's favor had already made many people jealous. Now that he had caught the pigtails, he was impeached.
He expected it.
Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to settle the matter, the ministers refused to do so, saying that defecating in front of the palace was disrespectful. If everyone followed Dongfang Shuo's example, wouldn't it be chaos?
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty probably thought about it. If all the ministers were urinating in front of the palace, how could he still do his work? He had no choice but to "remove him from being a commoner if there is an edict, and wait for the eunuch to sign it." Dongfang Shuo didn't care about urinating, he just retired and returned home.
Home.
Although it didn't take long for him to "reinstate him as the middle man and give him a hundred bolts of silk". See, there is no need for a capable person to feel too sorry for himself, right? But just because of "disrespect before the king", he
He has never held any high-level official position.
Later Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, also encountered such a minister who urinated in court.
This minister was none other than Zhang Zhan, who was recorded in history because of his dynasty's obedience. Speaking of this Zhang Zhan, he was actually a person who dared to give advice. Liu Xiu was ignored by him many times.
Retreat and then give in.
Although Emperor Guangwu had a good temper, he was also afraid of Zhang Zhan in his heart and would always deliberately avoid him in everything.
But later Liu Xiu couldn't get around it, so what happened? That is, there was no chief disciple in his court. The reason was that the previous chief disciples were not able to deal with Liu Xiu, and they eventually died, were exiled, and the three were exiled.
None of the great Situ ended well.
But the official position cannot be left vacant, so Liu Xiu thought: It would be more suitable for Zhang Zhan to sit in this position. Firstly, I am not very disgusted with him, and secondly, this person has something to say and is not so scheming.
Therefore, Liu Xiu suggested to Zhang Zhan: "Why don't you take on the post of Chief Situ?"
If it had been anyone else, everyone would have thought it was pie in the sky, but Zhang Zhan was trembling all over: "No, my servant is old and can't bear such a heavy responsibility..." As he said this, everyone saw that Zhang Zhan's feet turned into a river.
Well, now Zhang Zhan became famous. The historical record is as follows: "Zhan came to the court and lost his urine." Now it was better, and Zhang Zhan no longer had to be the high-risk chief minister.
According to records, these two people were not the only ones to urinate in the court, but they were all demoted to some extent, because "disobeying the rules" was a crime. This was the case at this time. Even if you dared to fart loudly in front of the emperor, you would be punished.
Eat good fruit,
Not to mention that Guo Xiu not only disobeyed the imperial edict, but also disobeyed the edict. The guilt would definitely be more serious. Gradually, cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of Wang and Shen, and they just kept their heads down.
No one noticed,
Liu Chan did not ask them to get up as quickly as before. After all, Guo Xiu had not yet received the edict to thank him.
Jiang Wei on the side saw the solid atmosphere in the palace and said: "Xian Guo Xiao, why don't you hurry up and accept the imperial edict?
Do you know that the position of General Zuo that you have at your fingertips now is something that many of our great generals have dreamed of fighting for their lives on the battlefield?
Even the late Emperor once held this official position, why don't you thank His Majesty for your grace!"
General Zuo, an ancient official position, began during the Warring States Period. For General Zuo, his status is second only to that of Shangqing, and his duties include guarding the capital and guarding the border.
According to the official system of the Eastern Han Dynasty, General Zuo was second only to Da Sima, Grand General, Cavalry General, Chariot and Cavalry General, and Guard General among military generals, which is to say, he was a middle-to-upper-level military general.
During the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, many military generals and even princes were awarded the title of Left General. The first Left General in the Shu Han Dynasty was Liu Bei. Therefore, this official position was more important in the Shu Kingdom, compared to the other two countries.
