Chapter 710: Once upon a time there was a Guangwu Emperor

In the current view, to whom to give what honorific title, is just a play on words, there is no actual impact on the national economy and people's livelihood, but in the Ming Dynasty is different, under the principle of loyalty and filial piety, a honorific title, a sacrificial specification, a gift, all let people see signs of overstepping the system and even rebellion, the light one confuses the public, and the heavy one shakes the country.

As the so-called feudal etiquette law, etiquette is even greater than the law, everything must be in accordance with etiquette and regulations, first of all, you can't mess up the order of dignity and inferiority of the monarch and the ministers, father, father and son. The monarch's father and the monarch's father, the former monarch is the father, Xiaozong and Wuzong are both emperors before Zhu Houxi, Zhu Houyu and Wuzong Zhu Houzhao are cousins of the same generation, it is reasonable not to recognize Wuzong as a father, but it should not be recognized as a father of Xiaozong Zhu Youji. Now that Zhu Houxi has intensified, he plans to respect his biological father, who has not been an emperor for a day, as the imperial examination, which is even more undeserved.

If Xingwang Zhu Youqi is posthumously crowned emperor, will his tablet be placed before Wuzong's tablet or after Wuzong's tablet? How should the Empress Dowager Zhang, who is still alive in the palace, be placed, if the etiquette is messed up, then it will all be messed up!

Therefore, from the point of view of ministers such as Yang Tinghe and Xie Qian, who adhere to the orthodoxy of the imperial family, Zhu Houxi's practice of posthumously sealing his biological father as the emperor is contrary to the father-son etiquette system of the monarch and ministers, shaking the foundation of the country, and trying to establish the orthodoxy of the royal family in the line of Xingwang, so they have to fight hard and oppose it desperately.

Therefore, the "Great Rites Discussion", which seems boring to modern people, is a great event in the eyes of the ministers of the Ming Dynasty. Xu Jin is a traverser, and there are not so many rules and regulations in his thoughts, but he has to be cautious in his statement on this matter.

Therefore, Xu Jin faced the pit that Xie Qian dug for himself at this time, and suddenly fell into a situation where it was difficult to ride a tiger, expressing his support for Xie Qian, and stabbing the little emperor Zhu Houxi This kind of stupid thing, Xu Jin naturally will not do it, but expressing his opposition to Xie Qian is tantamount to slapping himself in the mouth, not only will it become a joke in the officialdom literary circle, but it is also equivalent to confirming that he is a flattering and flattering minister.

At this moment, Xie Qian's old eyes widened, staring at Xu Jin with blazing eyes, and all the officials and gentry present also pricked up their ears, waiting for Xu Jin's response, only Cen Lan was still eating with relish.

"Damn, people are old spirits, ghosts and old spirits, the ancients don't deceive me!" Xu Jin scolded in his heart, he did not change color in front of thousands of troops, and at this time, a layer of fine sweat could not help but ooze out of his palms.

Cen Lan finally realized that the atmosphere was wrong at this time, and then looked at Governor Xu's fixed appearance of looking at his nose, nose, mouth, and mouth, and couldn't help but be moved, and asked in confusion: "Lord Xu, who is Han Guangwu?" Is he wise? ”

Xu Jin instantly came to life, and coughed lightly: "Han Guangwu is Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he is a rare virtuous monarch. ”

"Oh, how smart is that?" Cen Lan pretended to be a studious baby and asked.

Xu Jin gave an approving look and said with a smile: "Speaking of Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu, it has to start from the day he was born.

Liu Xiu is the ninth grandson of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and was born in ...... AD cough, it is the Jianping period of the Western Han Dynasty, it is said that on the night when Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty was born, there was a glow wall, and this year, Liu Xiu's biological father Nandun Jun Liu Qinfang grew three millet (millet) in front of the house, each plant has nine spikes, one or two feet longer than the general grass, it is really outstanding, so he named his son Xiu, which means outstanding......"

Xu Jin liked to read history in his previous life, coupled with his excellent eloquence, and the boring historical materials were told endlessly with a little polish, and the gentry present couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Xie Qian was even more angry and his beard trembled, but his hometown has been an official for three dynasties, and the official has been an auxiliary minister in the cabinet, and he has never seen any storms, so he endured it, and listened to Xu Jin with a calm face, the meaning is obvious, the old man asked you to speak, see how long you can speak, and after speaking, the old man asked again, can you escape the first day of junior high school, can you still escape the fifteenth?

Seeing this, the gentry looked at each other playfully, and they all listened patiently to Xu Jin's "talk about the ancients".

Governor Xu Da is a "show", starting from the birth of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, talking about how he rose in the late Western Han Dynasty, and finally single-handedly established the Eastern Han Dynasty, and then introduced how he appoints people on the basis of merit and treats meritorious heroes well.

Grunt......

Finally, Governor Xu drank up the cup of tea in front of him, then stood up and said, "If you drink too much tea, this official will be absent for a moment." ”

"Hehe, Lord Xu, please!" The gentry subconsciously said authentically, but as soon as the words came out, they suddenly realized that Xu Jin was planning to escape by urine.

Xie Qian also woke up suddenly at this time, and couldn't help but change color, but at this time, Xu Jin had already left the table, and he couldn't shout at people, and he didn't allow people to release water, people have three urgencies, and the can be tolerated!

Xu Jin left and walked briskly to the outside, and when he passed by the second seat, he glanced at Xie Erjian, who immediately understood and stood up. However, just as the two were about to walk out of the hall, a brocade guard ran in in a panic and almost collided with Xu Jin.

"My lord, it's too good, there's a fight outside the city!" This brocade said in a hurry.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was taken aback, Xu Jin's face changed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, "What happened?" ”

"Five hundred battalions and wolf soldiers are fighting!" Jin Yiwei gasped.

Xu Jin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he thought that Xu Hai had brought people back, it turned out that the five hundred battalions and the wolf soldiers had opened the film, so he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and asked in a deep voice: "Why did you fight?" ”

"It seems that because of the first-level military merits, it was just a quarrel at first, and then it was done, but I didn't use my weapons and fought with my fists!"

Xu Jin couldn't help but be sure in his heart, if he didn't move his weapons, he shouldn't be able to die, it was estimated that the five hundred battalions were unconvinced that the wolf soldiers robbed them of their military merits, so he turned back to Cen Lan who was still greedy and said: "Governor Cen and Zhou Jian Jun, quickly go out of the city with this official to suppress it." ”

"Oooh!" Governor Cen put a piece of fried duck tongue in his mouth, and then reluctantly put down his chopsticks and ran over.

Xu Jin led a group of generals out of the hall and hurried out of the city.

At this time, it was already evening, but the sun had not yet set, when Xu Jin rushed to the outside of the city surrounded by a group of generals and Jinyi guards, but saw the smoke and dust billowing above the camp, hundreds of people were fighting in a fist fight, and more people were scolding outside the field, shouting and cheering for the people on their side, and it became a pot of porridge.

Xu Jin almost got angry when he saw this, and Jin Yiwei pulled out his waist knife and shouted: "The governor is here, everyone stop immediately!" ”

Now, Xu Jin's prestige in the army is in full swing, especially the soldiers of the 500 battalions, when they heard that the marshal was coming, they were so frightened that they hurriedly stopped and silenced. However, the wolf soldiers didn't know how powerful, after all, they were wild guest soldiers, and they didn't see the terrifying scene of Xu Jin cutting off more than 2,000 heads with their own eyes, so these thorns didn't care about the brocade guards at all, and continued to beat the people of the 500 battalion.

Fortunately, Cen Lan rushed up and kicked at the wolf soldiers, crossing his waist and scolding sharply, these guys with fierce eyes immediately retreated with their tails between their legs, and several wolf soldiers who were beaten down also crawled back to the camp tremblingly.

Xu Jin's face was as gloomy as ink, and when he entered the house, his eyes swept coldly on both sides, and the soldiers on the side of the five hundred battalions all lowered their heads in fear, while the wolf soldiers were on the opposite side, one by one, and some even met Xu Jin's gaze defiantly.

Xu Jin raised his eyebrows, these arrogant and unruly guys, it seems that if they don't give some color today, they really can't bring it, and asked in a deep voice: "Who fought just now, all of them will be for Lao Tzu to stand up!" ”

Dozens of 500 battalion soldiers led by Zhao Datou, Yan Lang, and Pi Shiyi immediately stood up with their heads down. Cen Lan's eyes swept over the wolf soldiers under him, and dozens of wolf soldiers led by Wanan walked out with their heads crooked, but they stood crookedly, making people see the extreme fire.

Xu Jin's complexion had recovered at this time, and he said lightly: "Say, why fight?" ”
