Chapter 16: Seeing the Flowers Bloom in Taiwan (Continued)
"The thing is like this..."
Just when Kong Wenju was completely losing his grip, Dong Zhao, the shepherd of Jizhou, who was the only one in the palace who had the same seat treatment as Qixing, took over the situation. When the civil and military officials in the palace saw this man standing up, they all immediately stood in awe, and then listened quietly.
As the other party narrated, even Kong Rong did not dare to interrupt easily.
Of course.
Of the eight seats, seven of them were occupied by six people in the prime minister's position. There was one vacant seat on the censor's platform. Of course, it goes without saying, but Dong Gongren was openly involved in it, and almost everyone took it for granted... This is not the Yan Kingdom.
The special favor in the system is a political tradition invented by Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu and inherited from the Later Han Dynasty. It is habitually accepted by everyone. Many people assume that Dong Zhao is the captain of Sili.
That's right, it's Yang Qiu, the Sili Xiaowei who Yuan Shao once served - the governor in charge of Sili has an extra rank, has a proper name, has special etiquette treatment during the court meetings, and sits alone with Yushi Zhongcheng and Shangshu Ling.
, this has been an old rule of the Later Han Dynasty for many years.
When the Yan State was founded, the fiefdoms were theoretically limited to the counties in western Liaoning, but in reality? In fact, the Yan State controlled most of the Jizhou pastoralists. As the highest regional chief executive of the actual capital of the political entity of the Yan State, it roughly reflected the previous
Everyone can accept this fact.
Moreover, Dong Zhao's qualifications, merits, and grade and treatment are all unique. He is obviously lower than Qixiang, but also obviously higher than everyone except Qixiang.
Therefore, although he was not the prime minister after all, and although the chair under his buttocks was not as strong as the stool under Xi Zhong's buttocks, it was still enough to intimidate the court.
And as this Dong Jizhou talked eloquently, all the civil and military officials in the palace also had a "sudden realization".
It turns out that according to what Dong Zhao said, with the recovery of the Central Plains, a reactionary scholar group with a vile nature suddenly appeared in Ye!
These people are mainly descendants from the Central Plains who have lost their official positions, and there are also some children from wealthy families in Hebei. They are generally relatively young, but they are all uneducated and morally corrupt. At the beginning, the descendants from the Central Plains just wanted to cheat and seek official positions.
When asking for a job, the children of the rich and powerful families in Hebei were also of low standards and had no moral character, and only liked making friends. Therefore, the two sides were like-minded and called themselves close friends, and they soon became friends with each other.
Actually, this is nothing.
But later, as these people gradually realized that Ye's system was clearly divided, and it was impossible for them to pass the university and scientific examinations to become officials with their talents, knowledge and virtues, they actually started to rebel! Now, these people gather regularly, ostensibly to talk
Confucianism, criticizing people, and discussing government affairs are actually trying to manipulate public opinion, trying to influence the court, and change the court's politics, and even have evil intentions... As a result, you can't tell, except for some low-quality Yexia students.
In addition, some important officials of Yan State were deceived and believed their ghosts.
Kong Rong, the Minister of Taichang Temple, is one of them!
"Dong Jizhou is exaggerating!" Kong Wenju came to his senses when he heard this, but he bit the bullet and retorted. After all, although he didn't want to be 'bad', he didn't want to be 'stupid' either. "Of course I know those people.
, Today’s suggestion is vaguely related to these Central Plains scholars, but the original intention is still for the sake of Duke Yan, and I want to win the hearts of Duke Yan..."
"So Kong Taichang was deceived!" Dong Zhao sighed with emotion. "These people are all traitors with evil intentions. What's the use of winning the hearts of these thieves?!"
Kong Rong became more and more panicked when he saw Dong Zhao being so tough, but he still tried his best to explain: "These people are all serious scholars, and they also want to do their best for Duke Yan, but their knowledge is different from that of their subordinates, so there is really no way to repay them.
We have just gathered together and openly asked me to convey my thoughts... If the court feels something is wrong, then it will not accept it, so why must we say they are thieves?"
"Because they are traitors!" Dong Gongren's black face suddenly became serious, and his tone became particularly sharp. "According to our investigation in Jizhou Prefecture, we learned that the previous incident of Jing'antai, the earthquake in western Liaoning, and the incident of the son of Jiangxia
, they are not related at all. It is these people who are talking about destiny, twisting several things together, and openly claiming that Duke Yan is immoral and not good enough for the democracy of the world... If this is not considered a traitor, then what is a traitor?!"
The civil and military officials in the palace were completely relieved when they heard this. It turns out that this is what happened... Originally, Yan Gong was a man of martial virtue and a wise man. How could there be any claim that he was not destined to inherit his destiny? Daqing was a rumor spread by a group of reactionaries!
So, why go back to Liaoxi? Wouldn’t returning to Liaoxi fall into the trap of these people?
"Guo Tu, the young minister of Chenbanyin Temple, is taking the liberty to speak!" At this moment, before Kong Rong could admit that he had been fooled, in the midst of a commotion, Guo Tu in the distance spoke out loudly again.
He participated in it with complicated eyes. "I think that Kong Taichang is a famous person in the world, and he is an extremely smart person. There is no way that such a person can be deceived by the traitors of that generation! It is impossible to say that he is one of those traitors.
The mastermind behind it!"
The palace became more and more noisy, and several military attachés even looked at the back of Kong Taichang's head.
As for Kong Rong, he was unable to advance or retreat, and his mind was in chaos. He almost instinctively looked at Gongsun Xun who was sitting on the tiger skin, with a hint of pleading in his eyes.
However, Yan Gong remained expressionless and turned a deaf ear, which immediately made Kong Wenju feel cold all over. In anger and fear, the man who had always been an extreme personality almost wanted to break the jar and directly ridiculed this Liaoxi warrior and martial artist whom he despised at all.
The two shameless villains in front of him and behind him... But for some reason, he didn't dare to speak when facing the eyes of the people sitting on the seat. He just stood there in a daze in the hall, letting the comments around him continue.
In other words, in another time and space, there are multiple reasons why Kong Wenju dared to completely oppose Cao Cao, and his current dilemma is natural.
First of all, in that time and space, Kong Rong could not get closer to Cao Cao. After all, he always maintained the posture of a Han official. There was also a Han Dynasty righteousness behind it, and he was completely innocent politically... And correspondingly, in this world,
Faced with Kong Rong's tentative approach, Gongsun Xun took the initiative to accept him in order to stabilize the rear before the expedition to the Central Plains!
In other words, Kong Wenju was a complete Yanchen at this time!
Not only that, the entire palace was filled with Yan ministers, not Han ministers!
As for the Han Dynasty, they had been sent to Jiangxia by Gongsun Xun a long time ago. There was almost no remnant influence of the Han Dynasty north of the Yellow River. Therefore, facing Gongsun Xun, this descendant of Confucius had almost no moral principles to rely on.
The reason why he was so deviant this time was essentially because the power and responsibilities of Taichang Temple were too light, and when facing the Ministry of Rites with similar powers and responsibilities, he himself could not compete with the higher-level Minister of Rites, Wei Jing.
That's why he decided to change jobs, seize power, and cultivate party members, and then he became the target of public criticism today.
Secondly, in that time and space, because Cai Yong died early, Kong Rong became the master of articles in the world without hesitation. This position made him very important in the eyes of traditional scholars, so he could naturally win the hearts of scholars. But now? Not
Only Cai Bojie was alive and well, including Zheng Xuan in Confucian classics, Liu Hong in mathematics, and Zhang Jian in scholarly discussion. They all hung out in Yexia University, and relied on the university as a natural carrier of intellectual circles to maintain a stable existence.
Considering his own status, how could it be his turn that Kong Wenju would take over?
Not to mention, the existence of Banyin Temple has led to the rapid development of literature in recent years. Wang Xiang and young Wang Can are both more popular.
All in all, even if he was forced to a dead end, Kong Wenju really didn't dare to break out!
Seeing that Kong Rong had lost even the ability to defend himself, Zhongyu Shi Yi, who was not far away and had long expected such an incident, that is, Kong Rong's former personal subordinate was Ziyu, sighed secretly in his heart.
, and then suddenly stood up amidst the commotion and raised his voice to Duke Yan on the tiger skin:
"It is a courtesy for me to be the censor. If I have something to ask Dong Jizhou face to face, please give me your permission."
"Yes." Gongsun Xun said simply. "Today's affairs in the palace are open to the public, and anyone can speak... As the imperial censor, you are more qualified to directly question cases, statements and other military and political matters, so there is no need to invite special invitations."
The palace immediately became quiet.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Ziyu nodded slightly, and then came out to the hall. Then he directly raised his hands and slowly asked Dong Zhao. "Dong Gong..."
"It's the censor." Dong Zhao returned to normal, smiling and polite.
"I'm presumptuous. I've actually heard about the rebellious people that Dong Gong just talked about. I think everyone who is interested in Ye also knows that there is such a group of people and such a thing. As for other people criticizing the government,
I'm afraid it's true to incite public opinion, because today we and the Yushitai jointly urged the Jing'an envoys to violate public regulations in operas, and they were obviously influenced by them..." Yi was unhurried, and Kong Rong was looking forward to it by his side.
He said calmly with his eyes, "Dong Gong and Jizhou Prefecture refer to this group of people as rebels, right?"
The State of Yan had not yet paid enough attention to the importance of holding a wat board, so Dong Zhao simply bowed his hands and nodded repeatedly.
"In that case, I have a few questions..." Shiyi suddenly became serious. "First, since Mr. Dong has clearly regarded him as a traitor, how dare I ask if there is anyone in the state who can testify and prove that he is a traitor?"
Is he a traitor? Secondly, if there is any physical evidence, then he must be convicted and judged, and this matter was reported by Jizhou Prefecture. I dare to ask what crime Jizhou Prefecture is planning to convict the beginning and end of this case? Thirdly, he
Seniors often gather in restaurants and tea shops between Tongque Terrace and Yecheng. There are always many participants and many people watching the fun. Even many officials from the court also hang around. They gather today and leave tomorrow.
How many innocent people are deceived like Kong Taichang? How dare Jizhou Prefecture prepare to identify and accuse criminals? What if some people just watch the fun and listen to the story? Should they also be considered guilty of treason? "
"The censor is indeed as upright and serious as the rumors say, and he really got the key to the question!" Dong Zhao sneered, still wearing his usual honest face. "Of course there is evidence, but in our state it is because of subsequent convictions.
The matter cannot be decided, so we have just planned to publicly ask His Highness to make a judgment together with all the prime ministers, as well as the civil and military officials of Yan State at this court meeting."
"Ask for evidence." Ziyu was silent for a moment, but still pursued him.
Dong Zhao chuckled lightly and actually took out several letters from his arms and handed them to the other party in public in the palace: "These letters are the most exciting part of the physical evidence..."
Shiyi took the letter and was about to check it when Dong Zhao snatched another one from his hand, raised it high in his hand, showed it around the hall, and explained directly:
"Please see, this letter is written by Mi Heng from Pingyuan County, Yingzhou. Last year, he was expelled from the university because he yelled at the examination room and tore up the examination papers. He was not allowed to enter school for a year... I think you may have heard about it.
?”
Many ministers of the Yan Kingdom nodded one after another, and even the leader, Gongsun Xun, also became interested.
"In this letter, the person publicly stated that the imperial examination was a disorder of government, and that Duke Yan was seeking his own death by taking this policy. He also said that Prime Minister Jia Gong was a person who sold his relatives to seek glory; and that the left prime minister, Judge Duke, was a ungrateful and treacherous person.
"The right prime minister Lou Gong is a disciple of the likes of pigs and dogs!" Dong Zhao opened the envelope and said jokingly. "Since I entered Luoyang as a Langguan at the age of 20, I can be considered well-informed, but this private letter that I haven't had time to send is really...
Let me open your eyes."
As soon as these words came out, except for a few prime ministers who sat motionless, almost the entire palace was in an uproar. Even Ziyu was confused and lost his composure because he was so close that he could easily see who the letter was addressed to...
...As for Kong Rong on the side, he almost fainted.
This was not over yet. After Dong Gongren calmly opened the envelope, he continued to select a paragraph and read aloud in the palace:
"So it can be seen that Yan Gong's servants are really unworthy! I know all the people in the palace: Lu Fan has a white face, which can make people pay condolences and inquire about illness; Dong Zhao, who has a dark face, can make people close their doors; Xun You, who has bright eyes, can make people guard graves and toilets.
; Cheng Yu has a keen ear, so he can make people beat the gong; Han Dang is incompetent, so he can lead horses in front of the door; Wang Xiu is a lustful person, so he can make him the chief steward of the ban; a theater lover likes to gamble, so he can make stalls beside the road; Guo Jia, a drunkard, can make him
He can make people sing in restaurants; Zhang Liao can make people beat drums and make gold if they are rough; Gao Shun can make people take orders and read moves... As for the rest of the trivial people, Juzong can make people pass letters and send messages, and Pang De can make horses be fed.
Donkeys and Zhang can be used to make wine and food; Du Ji can be used to move grain and transport goods; Gongsun Yue can be used to build walls; Gongsun Fan can be used to slaughter pigs and dogs; Tian Yu can be called a perfect general; Yang Kai can call people
Domestic slaves protect the army...the rest are just clothes hangers, rice bags, wine barrels, and meat bags! Just like the others, if they are all cleaned up, I can be the prime minister. I can also be the left prime minister, and the world can be peaceful.
!”
The whole hall was silent. Even Guo Tu and Shi Yi were stunned. Kong Rong almost fell to the ground. Unexpectedly, Gongsun Xun, who was in the hall, suddenly laughed: "This is one missing sentence! If he were in the hall today, he would see
It is impossible to continue writing about the previous situation. Gongsun Xun can also return to western Liaoning and follow his mother in the streets and alleys, selling cloth and silk ribbons!"
There was still silence in the hall.
In fact, just after Dong Zhao finished reciting, many generals such as Zhang Liao, Tian Yu and others came to their senses. They were almost too angry to restrain themselves and almost roared in the hall. However, they suddenly calmed down with the burst of laughter on the white tiger skin.
After Gongsun Xun finished laughing, Dong Zhaofu calmly took another letter from Yu Yi and showed it to the left and right: "That's not all. Look, here is a letter from a high official in the court to Liu Biao's chief secretary Kuai Liang.
, we intercepted him on the way at Baima Jin. According to the letter, Kuai Zirou had asked this person about the situation in Yexia before and asked if he could stop Yan Gong from going south. And this person replied and said that Yunbo is now under Yexia.
Weird, maybe."
"I have always been arrogant, and my scholarly spirit has made me stupid." Gongsun Xun sighed quietly, but Kong Wenju suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and stabilized his figure.
"Your Highness, there are still witnesses in Jizhou." Dong Gongren put down the letter and turned back to face him. "Do I need to continue to provide evidence?"
"Who is it?" In the palace where there was only breathing, Gongsun Xun looked bored.
"Baima Yi is from the civil protection army Sima Yi." Prime Minister Dong Zhaofu responded. "His younger brother Sima Fu is not very knowledgeable and always likes to associate with these people. Sima Hujun noticed it, but he repeatedly taught his younger brother and could not change, so he could only turn him away.
His younger brother came to the state, and the case was reported in the state because of this... The man is wearing the crime of the prime minister outside the palace."
"I see." Gongsun Xun glanced at the queue of Yi Cong in front of him, but he still showed no signs of anger or anger. "No wonder he took a few days off before and called him in...Does Gongren want to ask me for instructions on how to deal with this matter?"
"Yes." Just as Ma Dai hurriedly walked out of the palace, Dong Zhao responded hurriedly.
"A lot of involvement?"
"This is exactly the problem. If there are just a few shameless people, they are not enough to face each other in court. But the key point is that people with noble backgrounds such as the children of the Sima family are also involved." Dong Zhao continued to bow to the Prime Minister, attracting attention.
Everyone in the palace was surprised and confused.
"Forget it!" Gongsun Xun sighed and said suddenly.
"Your Highness!"
Hearing these two words, Dong Zhao, who had always obeyed Gongsun Xun, lost his composure on the spot and even refuted his lord in public. "How can such a thing be considered? We have seen that the world is in chaos and people are evil, and only after your highness has worked so hard to get here, so
As for the slightest situation, how can this person take advantage of it?"
"I'm not saying let them go, but I'm saying there's no need for such twists and turns." Gongsun Xun replied calmly. "A group of clowns are really ridiculous. We don't need to deal with them in such twists and turns! If Tian Yuanhao were here, he wouldn't laugh at our monarchs and ministers for actually imitating them.
Emperor Ling, Yuan Feng is so mysterious...do you still remember the case of Xuanling's dutiful son?"
Dong Zhao suddenly understood, and Jia Xu, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but sigh slightly.
By the way, not only Gongsun Xun, but almost everyone at the scene has realized that not only Kong Rong and the so-called opposition are so ridiculous, they are as ridiculous as paper tigers and they can't help but sneeze at them. More importantly, this is a big problem within Yan State.
The court meeting is not a Han Dynasty court!
In other words, the people here are a political collective that has made a general political choice and seems very open, but in fact its political stance is extremely narrow and stable!
All of these are Gongsun Xun’s personal ministers! Everyone needs to be responsible to Gongsun Xun... Under such a situation, there is no need to hide some things that should not be said in this public place!
"Gentlemen." Gongsun Xun leaned on his seat with his sword in his hand, still showing no signs of emotion or anger. "This matter is actually very simple... Some people think that being alone like this is only half a step away from becoming the master of the world, so they can't help but be impatient.
So I took the opportunity to use some destiny public opinion to trip up Gu, hoping that I would become an official for them, or slightly relax the New Deal, in exchange for them to wave the flag and shout for Gu, in exchange for the so-called happiness of everyone. The so-called Jing'antai incident, the earthquake in western Liaoning, the Han Emperor
There are plans for funerals, as well as advocating for Kai Enke to win over people, all of which are exactly the same! If Gu agrees, they will definitely ask for a slow trip to live in the fields, and ask for righteousness to follow the family lineage, and to recruit talented people with good character! However, these things,
This matter is fundamental and I will not take a step back!"
Sima Yi, who had just entered the palace, knelt down to apologize. After hearing this, he couldn't help but glance at Dong Gongren beside him, but the latter stared back.
"As for destiny..." Gongsun Xun didn't pay too much attention to Sima Yi's entry, but stood up directly from the tiger skin, held the knife and walked around the table in front of him, which was on the side of the tiger's head, behind Ma Dai who had just stood.
He raised his voice to address the civil and military officials in the palace. "I want to ask you today, what is the destiny of heaven? Wen He, you are the prime minister, what do you mean by the destiny of destiny?"
"I believe that destiny is the human heart!" Jia Xu stood up and faced each other. "His Highness has already made a judgment on this matter."
"Well said." After a slight pause, Gongsun Xun nodded repeatedly. "Destiny is the human heart, and the human heart is the destiny. But the human heart is mixed. No matter what you do, there will always be people who are dissatisfied with you. So since ancient times,
Those who want to inherit the destiny must find the largest, largest and heaviest human heart. But which human heart is the biggest and heaviest? On the surface, it is naturally the powerful, the scholars, the powerful and the like, and things will happen according to their wishes.
It's always simple. But that's just the surface. This human heart can only bear the destiny of one family and the change of dynasties. With a little repetition, they can turn around and sell the destiny again! Yigu said,
The true destiny and human heart exist at the bottom!"
No one in the palace dared to speak out, and Gongsun Xun’s voice became louder and louder:
"Dayu controlled the floods and really saved all the people in the world from water and fire, so Xia has the world. Not to mention that Shang Tang defeated Xia Jie, and then pacified the barbarians and established Shang in the Central Plains, and then the world was established. It is not said that King Wu defeated Zhou,
But from Yigu's point of view, later Zhou Gong established the rites, and the eight hundred princes managed the world and formed China, which was the foundation of Zhou's eight hundred years of destiny."
"When I came here again, although I was unable to do so, I still wanted to do something that transcended the family. This cause I had already announced to the world in front of the Weiyang Palace, that is, to abolish the family, build a world of powerful people, and build a small family for poor families.
Household of the world! And this action is not against some of you, but because of the family, the strong and powerful people are actually the root of the collapse of the Han Dynasty! It is actually the source of injustice in the world! To do this alone, in the past, it would have been
It is to attack Dong, attack Yuan and destroy Cao. Now that we are in front of our eyes, we must adhere to various new policies and continue to sweep the south!"
Some generals wanted to get up and avoid the banquet to honor their orders. The soldiers and warriors, uncles and nephews of Shi Kuang also wanted to speak, but Gongsun Xun raised his hand and suppressed him:
"Today, just sit back and listen... Of course Gu also knows that there is no perfect government in the world. Today's new policy will be abolished sooner or later in the future. Today's palace is full of new nobles. In the future, they may not all be people who bring harm to the country, but so what? Gu
not give a damn about!"
"Do you think what Gu said before about a man in western Liaoning was an angry statement? It's really not the case! I have made it clear to you today, and you can also tell it widely, that is, as long as you live alone, you will not allow the New Deal to be abolished.
You can cut out the carrion in the palace with a knife in one day! As for the so-called destiny revolution tripod and the talk of reincarnation of the five virtues, I don’t even care!"
"However, this is not because Gu does not want to be the emperor and does not want to overthrow the Han Dynasty with Yan, but because if Gu is called the emperor today, who can do it?! Is the word destiny just a group of arrogant Confucian scholars who have the final say?
!Let them open their eyes and see the world today, whose world is it?!"
"New Deal, you should do it by yourself! You will only move forward, never retreat! You should take the world from yourself! No one can take away the world from you!"
"Your Majesty, Sima Yi, please take your seat!" In the silence of the entire hall, a person suddenly bowed his head.
"Shut up!" Gongsun Xun was furious, but he scolded Guo Tu and others before they bowed down. "Lieutenant, listen to the order!"
"I'm here!" Zhao Ping, who had just sat back down, was excited and stood up again.
"Kong Rong handed over to the enemy's country. The evidence of his crime is conclusive. He will be removed from all his posts and immediately sent to Yinshan Labor Camp...Leave now, don't stay!"
"No!" Zhao Ping hurriedly responded, but he signaled with the name of the Weiwei Siqing who was in charge of the imperial garrison and who was in front of the emperor's palace.
The latter also quickly entered the palace and dragged Kong Rong out, who had completely collapsed.
Ziyu, who was already extremely shocked by this, breathed a sigh of relief... To be fair, Duke Yan was really extremely benevolent and righteous!
"There is also Gongren." Gongsun Xunfu pointed directly at Dong Zhao. "All the scholars and students involved in this matter, whether they are from Hebei or the Central Plains, whether they are the children of officials in the imperial court, or some famous people who have descended from the country, all of them are
Anyone over the age of five will be assigned to Huainan, and will be assigned to the Nanyang Army as a companion! The eldest son of the Prime Minister can die in front of the army, and the eldest son of an orphan can also serve in front of the army. Who are they, who can enjoy peace in the rear?!"
"No!" Dong Zhao leaned over and said yes.
"Your Highness is kind!" Sima Yi suddenly felt relieved.
"The old devil clown is not worthy of a match!" After laying down the charges and declaring his ambitions, Gongsun Xun didn't bother to say anything more and just wanted to leave.
"Your Highness!"
At this moment, Prime Minister Jia Xu, who had not returned to his seat before, suddenly stopped him. "I have another statement!"
Gongsun Xun suddenly stopped and turned around, but met Jia Wenhe's eyes that looked particularly calm. The monarch and his ministers looked at each other for a while. Unexpectedly, Gongsun Xun, who was almost violent at first, calmed down instantly, and
After a while, Duke Yan turned around and sat back down in his seat:
"Prime Minister, please speak."
"Your Highness, I have little talent and little virtue. As Prime Minister, I am often uneasy." Jia Xu stood in the middle of the hall, neither humble nor arrogant, facing each other slowly. "But as Prime Minister, I should think about the safety of the world every day, and I will help Your Highness for a long time."
... Before the world is settled, the military is not at peace, and the system is incomplete. I think that Your Highness can "not follow the example" and act as he wants today. But as His Highness said, sooner or later, the world will be taken by Your Highness. In this case, I dare
I ask Your Highness, if the world is settled, if the Yan Dynasty overthrows the Han Dynasty, and if Your Highness does whatever you want today, can you do it again?"
Gongsun Xun was silent for a long time, and then he nodded in response to the other party's gaze: "No!"
"I have remembered it, but forgive me for being presumptuous. Ever since I received your majesty's kindness, I have been thinking about the future these days, and discussed with all the ministers. I boldly decided that the world would be settled and Yan would overthrow the Han Dynasty. I would like to ask your majesty a few more questions.
The matter...is it okay?" Jia Xu said, and actually took out a thin piece of paper from his arms. The strokes on it were clear, as if he had been prepared for it. The other five prime ministers, from the beginning of the match selection to those who were temporarily demoted
At the end of the play, everyone stood up.
As for Dong Zhao, he was already standing in the palace, so he didn't have to get up again.
"Today, the palace is full of Yan ministers. I can express my feelings directly. What's wrong with you, prime ministers?" Gongsun Xun took a long breath and looked at each other sternly in his position. "Please give me your words, Prime Minister."
"First, the two emperors of the Han Dynasty, Huan Ling, were wild and rebellious, punished harshly, and frequently engaged in unbridled alliances. I dare to ask Your Highness, if the world is determined and Yan overthrows the Han, you should be generous, benevolent and forgiving, and implement the rule of law to the fullest, okay?"
When Jia Xu asked this question, because it was related to the scale of punishment, some local officials from the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple and Jizhou stood up one after another, as if they recognized Jia Xu's question.
"I think... we should be lenient to the subordinates but strict to the superiors! We should be benevolent to the political strategy and restrain the individuals!" Gongsun Xun thought for a moment and answered seriously. "As for the matter of collusion, I should try my best to limit it."
"I understand." Jia Wenhe nodded slowly, without commenting, but continued to ask. "Secondly, during the Han Dynasty, the two emperors Huanling and Huanling trusted the eunuchs too much, and all the mouthpieces were eunuchs, so that there were
The eunuchs are ministers and are in charge of the government affairs of the world. I dare to ask Your Highness, if the world is settled, the Yan overthrows the Han, and the palace is banned, regardless of whether the eunuchs are reused or not, is it possible for your highness to restrain the eunuchs and prevent them from getting involved in political affairs? "
"Of course it is!" Gongsun Xun answered very neatly this time. At this time, in addition to the six ministers and one animal husbandry, the officials of the four stations and the six departments also gradually woke up and stood up one after another. Among the generals in the queue, students such as Tian Yu
More people also stood up on alert, so shocked that Zhang Liao and others hurriedly followed.
"Third, if relatives from outside the Han Dynasty get involved in power, there is a case of poisoning the Han Emperor. If the world is determined and the Yan Dynasty overthrows the Han Dynasty, is it possible for Your Highness to restrain the relatives and prevent them from suddenly being used by marriage, and disrupting the order of the class?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Ping, Feng Fang, Gongsun Yu and others each trembled and stood up immediately.
But Gongsun Xun was still straightforward: "I have thought about this matter for a long time. Not only relatives, but also members of the clan, should also judge their positions based on merit. In the future, they should take scientific examinations to become officials and transfer to other posts on their own. They should not be regarded as relatives of the emperor.
The higher the rank, the more prominent the position!"
"I understand." Jia Xu continued to ask. "Fourthly, the former Han Dynasty used troops in Western Liang excessively and repeatedly wasted national money. As for the Liangzhou rebellion, which lasted for decades and continued for hundreds of years, as for the rise of the Yellow Turbans, the world has been destroyed.
There have been wars for thirteen or four years, and there have been almost no wars and chaos everywhere. If the world is settled and Yan overthrows the Han Dynasty, your Highness may not be proud of his marginal achievements and help the people to rest and recuperate?"
"Stop the war and bring peace to the people, which is the most important thing to control the chaos." Seeing more and more people getting up, Gongsun Xun became more cautious in his words. "However, when discussing side effects, we should carefully measure them. If we calculate the benefits and losses, it will be beneficial."
A country alone will never give up its development."
"I understand." Jia Xu was still noncommittal and just continued to inquire. At this time, almost everyone in the palace stood up, even Sima Yi did not dare to kneel. "Fifth, the decline of the Han Dynasty, how many reasons
Because the emperors, empresses, and dignitaries believed deeply in witchcraft and prophecies, if the world were to be settled and the Yan Dynasty overthrew the Han Dynasty, and His Highness was the supreme, it would be possible to prohibit the government from building Buddhist temples and Taoist temples, and to ask less about ghosts and gods?"
"Can!"
"Sixth, destiny is changing, and world events are unpredictable. If the world is determined and Yan conquers Han, and Your Highness is the supreme, is it possible to repay the kindness of the Liu family in the past and not interrupt the sacrifices of the Han Dynasty?"
"Gu is willing to do his best." Gongsun Xun responded more and more sincerely. "But some things cannot be decided by Gu... If Liu behaves violently and is unwilling to feel at ease, what can Gu do?"
"Then it has nothing to do with His Highness. As long as Your Highness has this intention and abides by his words, the people of the world will have their own judgment." Jia Xu put away the paper in his hand and slowly faced each other. "And all this, plus the beginning.
There are seven questions and seven answers in total to ask Your Highness to stay... I believe that if His Highness can abide by all seven answers today, it will not only be a just decision, but the hearts of the people in the world will naturally return to Your Highness, and the destiny of heaven will naturally change from Han to Yan!"
At this point, Jia Xu bowed down seriously and said with great ceremony: "I have nothing to say, but as a Yanchen, I hope that your highness will be unified as soon as possible and inherit this destiny!"
After he finished speaking, he personally judged the match. All the civil and military officials below Lou Gui, as well as the loyal servants in the palace, also bowed down together and repeated these words: "May your highness be unified as soon as possible and inherit this destiny!"
Gongsun Xun opened his mouth to speak, but was speechless. After a long time, he looked away from everywhere in the palace. Finally, he stared at the backs of Jia Xu and others and sighed: "You have not failed me, and I will not let you down! I am willing to be with you all."
Let us create peace together!"
————I am the dividing line of peace————
"Based on Taizu's arrogance and Jia Xiang's chaos, there are still bronze bird questions and answers. It can be seen that in times of chaos, people's hearts are difficult to stabilize, morals are dry, and heroes stand up with their own swords and weapons to show their will. And once the dynasty is about to be settled, it means thinking about the country.
To be stable is not to be a saint king and a famous minister. If a Ming Dynasty is prosperous, it is not to be a civil and military pillar in the same palace. In the past, Taizu called Cao Cao "a capable minister in governing the world and a hero in troubled times". Does this refer to this person? Therefore, it is said: The loss of the Han Dynasty
The heroes chased the deer together to get their own destiny, and it was no accident that Taizu would control the world for many years!" - "New Book of Yan". Volume 2. The Chronicles of Emperor Taizu Wu
PS: Recommend the book, Kryptonian Fate in Konoha's Dream... The author Jing Xiaoyuan, it is a rare reality and Naruto to cross paths, it seems that he fell asleep before entering the world of Naruto, it is really interesting.
By the way, 35,000 words have been updated in seven days... I'm inexplicably proud of it, but it's too sad not to have this chapter.
