Hearing Chen Xingshan's words, Lian Zining and others screamed with panic. Zhuo Jing immediately said: "Fu Chu, be careful! How can the current emperor be compared to Han Wu? Han Wu
The military conquest of the Xiongnu cost half of the world's wealth and made the people poor; but today the Holy One has expanded his territory to thousands of miles, but the country is peaceful and the people are peaceful, and the people are rich, how can they be compared?"
"Moreover, the current Holy Emperor has a deep relationship with the Queen, and his love for the clan is far better than that of Han Wu. Han Wu destroyed all the vassal states in the world, but today's Holy Lord makes the clan more powerful. Today's Holy Lord is far better than Han Wu and cannot be compared."
"Yes, Fu Chu, we must not compare the current emperor with Han Wu." Lian Zining and the other three people also said immediately.
No wonder they were so panicked. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was regarded as a great monarch in later generations, but in traditional culture he was the negative, or at least a gray emperor, not a positive. Not to mention the selfish ideas of the Confucian scholar-officials and bureaucrats, just from the perspective of the time
Judging from the impact, the people's lives were indeed relatively prosperous in the early days of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but when he was about to die, the people were living in very poverty. From a people-oriented perspective, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was indeed not a good emperor. Sima Qian is a relatively fair historian.
They wrote biographies ("Biographies of Goods" and "Biographies of Rangers") for wealthy businessmen and black bosses. This is unique among the Twenty-Four Histories, but the evaluation of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is also much negative.
on the front.
And the examples of Chen Xing's good deeds are even more negative. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty favored a man named Jiang Chong in his later years. In his later years, he became more and more courteous to the alchemists and worshiped ghosts and gods. Because some alchemists claimed that burying small wooden figures in their residences for regular sacrifices could eliminate disasters.
Some palace maids and concubines believed that the method was true, but were later tabooed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and massacred, and Jiang Chong was used to verify the evidence. Jiang Chong took the opportunity to implicate the witchcraft incident to the violent prince Liu Zhi and Queen Wei. Because at that time the violent prince Liu Zhi and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
The relationship was not good. After repeated thinking, Liu Ju finally decided to kill Jiang Chong and raised his troops. After the defeat, he ran away and was found in Hu County. He committed suicide and died. His two sons were also killed. Only one grandson, Liu Bing, survived.
But the next year, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty rehabilitated Liu Zheng, killed the entire Jiang Chong clan, killed all those who had been rewarded after quelling the rebellion, built a palace of mourning in Chang'an, and built a platform to watch the return of thoughts in Hu County. This is also a historical event.
The most tragic tragedy was caused by the suspicion between the emperor and the prince.
Therefore, they were very alarmed when Chen Xingshan compared Yun to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and even mentioned the witchcraft rebellion. If this was heard by the current emperor, the already angry situation would severely punish Chen Xingshan, for example, if he really
It would not be a good idea to be demoted to the ends of the earth and become a county magistrate.
Chen Xingshan glanced at them. He wanted to say, 'His Majesty doesn't like the prince very much now', but he thought that Lian Zining and others were doing it for his own good, and besides, saying these words in front of them was of little use, so he swallowed what he said in the end.
They went back. Because of his words, the others did not dare to say anything more, and they did not dare to drink because they were afraid of making a mistake after drinking. They ate a little and then dispersed. In the next few days, Chen Xingshan and Zhuo Jing did not
Xiang Yun submitted a memorial, Lian Zining and Yang Ren, Qi Tai submitted a memorial, and his words were quite sincere, but he did not try to remonstrate face to face when he went to court.
But just because they don’t go to the memorial doesn’t mean that others don’t go to the memorial to give advice. When promoting officials, try to promote people with ideas similar to those of the Mingli school, and if you can examine the character yourself, you should examine the character of the person you want to promote, and give priority to those with good character.
, a person of good moral character. But because of this, this time Yun violated the etiquette he had established, which immediately attracted the vast majority of courtiers to remonstrate. For a time, countless memorials poured into the palace, flooding Yun's desk. The number of memorials was at most even
It exceeded Yun's own imagination. It was the most memorials he had received in more than ten years since he took the throne. After some time, memorials from officials from other places came to the capital, adding to the already full desk.
One level. And there are always people who want to give advice in person during court.
Under this circumstance, the normal work of the imperial court was naturally affected. The preparations for the war in Bengal that had been started were significantly slowed down, and even the collection of commercial taxes in the capital was slowed down.
But even in the face of such great pressure, Yun was determined not to back down. If there were so many memorials that they could pile up on the desk? Then just throw them into the wastebasket without looking at them all. If anyone wants to remonstrate in person during the court session? Then
Just announce your resignation immediately after going to court to discuss business, without giving them any time to remonstrate; because the remonstrance in the previous memorial affects normal work? Then use this as a reason to reprimand, or even demote, remove them for failing to do the job at hand.
people. Anyway, there are still many graduates of the Imperial College who cannot be selected for good official positions, and there are still many local Jinshi who are difficult to be promoted to the imperial court. They can all be filled in. What, the graduates and Jinshi who have been filled in also submit memorials and remonstrate? Then
It would be better to change people. Anyway, there is no shortage of people in the right position. But no matter what, it is impossible to make Yun give up marrying Lan Siqi as his concubine.
In this way, Yun continued to confront the ministers for a whole month. Slowly, fewer and fewer officials came to remonstrate, and fewer and fewer memorials came to the palace. After another month, the matter was finally over.
.
Seeing this, Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had been under a lot of pressure this month. Facing the pressure of almost the entire civil service system by one person was not something that ordinary people could bear. Yun himself woke up several times in the middle of the night due to excessive pressure, almost
If you can't stand it anymore and have to back down, you should use the example of Emperor Shizong Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty in history to encourage yourself to be able to stand it.
And the harem is not worried. Although Xiyao has recovered from her illness, she still has a bad face. Most of the time when facing Yun, she has no expression on her face and rarely speaks; Min'er doesn't speak much when she is angry with him.
The son also seemed to be affected and did not want to speak. Of course, it may also be because Yun's face did not look good.
Siqi himself has always been ill. Although Yun did not say anything about the reaction of the ministers in the court, and the maids who served her did not dare to say anything after issuing strict orders, but Siqi is such a smart person, seeing Yun every day
You can tell what the situation is by your facial expression, and you can't help but add to your worries, as your illness never gets better. This adds a third layer of pressure to Yun.
"It's finally over." After not receiving the memorial for three consecutive days, Yun said with relief. His brain immediately relaxed and sleepiness came. He immediately ordered: "I want to have a good rest for a day. From now on
From now on until 4 o'clock tomorrow, unless there is a major military situation, I will not be disturbed. If you are too anxious about these memorials, you can just stamp them and issue them according to the votes of the fourth auxiliary officer."
