Zhao Xin pondered for a long time, and finally asked: "Is there anyone outside the imperial city paying attention to this matter?" Liu Yongnian raised his head, looked at Zhao Xin, and asked: "What does the Duke mean?"
"I heard a poem saying: If you punish him and he will die, there will be trouble..." Zhao Xin said softly: "Gu Shen believes in the teachings of the previous king!"
Liu Yongnian then lowered his head and stared at the ground.
He naturally understood what Zhao Xin said.
And not only did I understand the literal meaning, but I also understood the meaning contained in this sentence.
Punishing him and causing trouble in the future comes from "The Book of Songs. Zhou Song. Xiao Death". It was written by King Cheng to punish Cai Guan and Empress Cai as a warning to herself. From ancient times to the present, great Confucian scholars have had countless interpretations of this poem, but there is one thought.
, implement this king from beginning to end and take precautions in the bud!
We must be vigilant against things that endanger the country, no matter how big or small.
For a thousand-mile embankment collapses in an ant nest, and a hundred-step room is burned with smoke from the gap.
Just listen to the young and serious voice of Lord Shou whispering in your ear: "Does Liu Qing know Lin Zhijiao?"
"Lin Zhidao?" Liu Yongnian frowned: "My lord, what do you mean?"
In Bianjing City, there are many people named Lin, and there are also many officials.
However, there was only one official who was Zhiguo, the Zhiguo of the Imperial Academy and the Minister of Tianzhang Pavilion, Lin. He was the most favored minister of the imperial family at that time, and there was no one like him!
Zhao Xin suddenly laughed: "Be careful of past mistakes and avoid future ones, treat illnesses and save others. Don't saints often say that people who make mistakes should be given a chance to correct themselves?"
"Does Lin Zhijiang not have the heart to be kind and righteous?"
“You can’t see it alone!”
"What do you think, Aiqing?"
Looking at the pure and flawless eyes of Duke Shou in front of him, Liu Yongnian bowed his head deeply: "The Duke of Shou is a wise man!"
"Lin Zhidao himself has a heart for good and righteousness, but the world's prejudices are very deep. If the Duke of the country shows his favor, I think Lin Zhidao will be happy and willing to sacrifice his own life for the sake of righteousness!"
Zhao Xin then closed his eyes, lay down and said, "In that case, let's wait and see!"
Liu Yongnian bowed and bowed again: "Wei Chen, please retire!"
……………………
After walking out of Donghua Gate, Liu Yongnian turned back and looked at the majestic palace, then he breathed out and sighed: "He is a true holy king!"
His whole body and mind were filled with awe and admiration.
Because of power, benevolence, magnanimity, and the means of a king.
Since ancient times, kings have never adhered to trivial matters in their administration of government.
Therefore, you can achieve great things!
On the contrary, those who care about red tape and adhere to worldly morals and common opinions have become the same laughing stock as Song Xianggong.
Therefore, Liu Yongnian no longer had any doubts, because he knew that he had met a king worthy of following him throughout his life.
So Liu Yongnian immediately returned to his home to meet his uncle, Liu Congguang, the defense envoy of Chuzhou.
In fact, Liu Congguang is not much older than Liu Yongnian.
However, he was the son-in-law of King Jing, so he could not serve as an official like Liu Yongnian. He could only live in the inner house and study to survive.
Normally if there was no big event, Liu Yongnian would not go out of his way to pay a visit to this uncle.
After all, King Jing is still alive!
The Song Dynasty was extremely sensitive to ministers, close servants, and those who were good at making friends with the clan.
Therefore, even though Liu Yongnian grew up with Liu Congguang, their contact with them decreased after they became adults.
Even if they live in the same house, they will not take the initiative to meet each other easily.
Liu Congguang would also deliberately stagger Liu Yongnian's coming and going time, so Liu Congguang was particularly surprised when he saw Liu Yongnian coming to the house on his own initiative.
"Yongnian, you are a rare visitor..." Liu Congguang put down the chess records he was studying with great concentration, and immediately ordered his servants to prepare tea and snacks. He asked Liu Yongnian to sit down and asked, "Isn't Yongnian serving Duke Shou in Chunfang? What's going on today?
Come to my place when you have time?"
"My nephew is here to ask for something!" Liu Yongnian bowed his head and said.
"Um?"
"My nephew heard that Zhou Ziyin (Zhou Chu) of the Jin Dynasty once asked Lu Qinghe (Lu Yun). Mr. Qinghe encouraged him and said: The ancients valued the morning and heard that the person died in the evening. The future of Mr. Kuang is still good. Moreover, people suffer from ambition.
If it is not established, why worry about the name of the order not showing evil?!" Liu Yongchang bowed and said: "My uncle is friends with Lin Zhijiao and often goes in and out of the house. Why don't you advise Zhijiao to be the contemporary Zhou Ziyin and serve the country?
What about making achievements?"
Liu Congguang then became serious, pushed away the chess book beside him, looked at Liu Yongnian seriously and asked: "Yongnian, where did you hear these words? And who asked you to tell them?"
But before Liu Yongnian could answer, Liu Congguang had already woken up. He slapped his thigh, laughed, and said to Liu Yongnian: "Yongnian doesn't need to say any more, I know it!"
Then he laughed, walked out of the room barefoot, changed his clothes, and drove out.
Liu Yongnian drank the wine that Liu Congguang left on the table, and then asked the servants who came to serve him: "Where is my uncle? Why can't I see him?"
These people looked at each other, but they immediately came to their senses and worshiped one after another: "Go back to the young master, the master happened to have just gone out to meet friends..."
"Oh..." Liu Yongnian nodded: "Then I'll come back to see my uncle another day!"
The Song Dynasty indeed prohibited the use of human beings as slaves.
Even the eunuchs in the official family are also ministers, not domestic slaves.
What's more, nobles like the Liu family?
However, since their ancestors, the Liu family has been famous for being good at winning people's hearts and treating their subordinates well.
Moreover, the servant who can serve in the Liu family's inner house, even if it is a mother-in-law, has been serving the Liu family for at least two generations.
Of course these people are loyal to the Liu family, just like the clans of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
Therefore, both the mouth and the mind are very strict.
The host only needs one look to understand the meaning, let alone such a hint?
So, the next day, when Prime Minister Lu Yijian came to the Political Affairs Hall in a sedan chair to light the knot, he discovered that there seemed to be something strange in the Political Affairs Hall.
"What's going on?" Lu Yijian frowned, summoned his confidant Ye Qingchen, and asked, "Why is the political hall so weird today?"
"You don't know?" Ye Qingchen cautiously approached Lu Yijian and whispered: "Early this morning, Tianzhang Pavilion Minister and Imperial Academy directly told Lin Lin to impeach Jiangning Jiedushi Yuan Fen for being lax in teaching his wife, exceeding the ancestral system, and flattering
A noble man, spying on the people, plotting to interfere in the country..."
Lu Yijian was immediately confused.
Forest?
Impeach Zhao Yuanfen, Jiangning’s military envoy?
What is this all about?
Not to mention, this is a matter for Tai Jian. He is a minister of Tianzhang Pavilion and the Imperial College has nothing to do with it, and it is not his turn to give advice.
Even if Ta Lin could intervene, it would not be the turn of such a villain to speak.
There are so many gentlemen in the court, but there are no villains like Lin who rely on flattery and flattery to understand the truth and justice?
But these thoughts only flashed in Lu Yijian's mind, and he immediately realized them.
This is taking a stand!
Therefore, the political awareness of the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty made him immediately make the most correct reaction: "Immediately go to court and summon the ministries to participate in politics!"
Women are in charge of politics, and the clan is in charge of the affairs of state.
The two g-spots of the Song Dynasty civil servant appeared at the same time.
Even if it was brought about by someone like Lin, a villain in the eyes of the world.
But as the prime minister, as a prime minister who is courteous to all officials, he, Lu Yijian, must make the most correct, appropriate and serious response no matter what. This is absolutely unacceptable!
It must be resolutely opposed and strictly stopped.
Even if it is just groundless rumors, even if there is no basis!
Because the sages have taught us not to neglect good deeds because they are small, and not to do evil even if it is small.
We must be on guard against such disasters and keep our eyes open!
