Chapter 992: Who?
After marking the first point in his heart, Zhu Ping'an continued to look down, and then came to the core issue in Senior Brother Yang's recital:
"Looking forward to the emperor's words, listening to the words of the ministers, investigating the traitor of Song, and the ministers are afraid of Wei Huai'en, there is no need to ask. The emperor may ask the two kings and make them look evil; Or consult the ministers and tell them not to be afraid of Songwei. If it is true, it will be a serious crime with authoritarian power to correct the law of the country, and a light sentence will be issued so that the person will return home to the whole country. Once the thieves are gone, the government can be cleared. ”
This paragraph is the direct cause of Senior Brother Yang's tragedy, Senior Brother Yang's sentence "or ask the second king" violated Emperor Jiajing's taboo, causing Senior Brother Yang to impeach Yan Song and failing to succeed, and he was also imprisoned for questioning, and finally abandoned the city.
Zhu Ping'an watched it very carefully, and after studying Senior Brother Yang's recital, the morning light in the eastern sky was thin.
"Senior brother, ...... peace"
After Zhu Ping'an finished reading the recital, he said to his senior brother, paused for a moment, and considered how to open his mouth to propose.
"Zihou, between you and me, there is nothing difficult to speak. Zihou has any advice, but please speak up, Sheng, listen to me. Seeing this, Yang Jisheng couldn't help but smile slightly, and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please.
"If the senior brother has a word, then peace will be said directly. After reading Ping'an, I have two superficial views to discuss with my senior brother. Zhu Ping'an nodded when he heard this, opened the song and spread it out on the dining table, stretched out his hand to point out the paragraph where the first suggestion was, and said slowly, "The first point: Senior brother has always been tolerant of Song's evil in this paragraph...... It is inevitable that there is an implication that the saint protects Yan Song. After the saint saw the music, he was afraid that he would not like it, and in the view of peace, it was better to delete the relevant sentences about the saint's preferential treatment. ”
Yang Jisheng listened to Zhu Ping'an's first opinion, smiled and shook his head, "Zihou is a little more worried, Sheng, this paragraph is actually not to blame the saint, but just to remind the saint, don't give the strict thief preferential treatment, the strict thief is the seedling of the grass, the tiger of the city, one day of reign is a day of harm, and if one day is not removed, millions of people will be poisoned by it." ”
"Senior brother, having said that, reading it will inevitably make people feel that there is one of the strange saints. If the saint also feels this way, it is not good for the senior brother to play the matter. Zhu Ping'an shook his head and reminded again.
"Zihou, I understand what you mean, but wouldn't it be unwise to give up eating because of choking. It is the grace of the Holy Exaltation that is abundant today. I bluntly reminded the Holy God that it was to repay the emperor's kindness and be loyal to the duty of the courtiers. Yang Jisheng shook his head when he heard this, and did not adopt Zhu Ping'an's suggestion, and his attitude was very resolute.
Belch.
Bad start.
Zhu Ping'an sighed in his heart, in fact, he also understood in his heart that there was nothing wrong with Yang Jisheng saying this, because it was indeed his duty for the courtiers to speak out and admonish. Historically, Wei Zheng, the prime minister of the early Tang Dynasty, was known for daring to speak out to the emperor and became a model for the courtiers of all dynasties to follow. No one is perfect, the emperor is also a human being, and there are times when he makes mistakes, as a courtier, after discovering that the emperor has made a mistake, do you not remind the emperor because he is worried that the emperor will blame? ! If that's the case, is that still the work of a qualified courtier?!
Besides, he is the famous Yang Jisheng.
In addition, this question is a disease of ringworm scabies compared to "or ask the two kings", and "or ask the two kings" is the real anointing disease.
"That's not to mention for now. This second point is also for senior brother to consider. ”
Zhu Ping'an weighed it again and again in his heart, gave up his intention to continue persuasion on this point, and focused on the point of "or ask the second king".
"Zihou, please speak." Yang Jisheng saw that Zhu Ping'an was so serious and formal, and he was also sitting upright, so he asked Zhu Ping'an to talk about the second point.
The second point is here - "The emperor may ask the two kings to make them evil." Zhu Ping'an stretched out his hand to point out this sentence on the song, looked up at Yang Jisheng, and said with a serious and serious face.
As soon as Zhu Ping'an's words fell, he heard the sound of a cup spilling in the bedroom of the inner room, and in addition, he vaguely heard a faint exclamation.
Who?
Anyone else?
Zhu Ping'an was taken aback when he heard the sound from the inner room, and turned his head to look in the direction of the inner room.
"Oh, Zihou don't have to worry, it's a dog in the house." Yang Jisheng smiled slightly and explained softly.
It turned out to be Senior Brother Yang's second son, and Zhu Ping'an breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Senior Brother Yang has two sons, the eldest son Yang Yingwei and the second son Yang Yingji. According to historical records, Senior Brother Yang failed to impeach Yan Song and was thrown into prison, and after knowing that he would die, he wrote two wills in the prison, one "Foolish Husband and Virtuous Wife Zhang Zhen" was written to his wife, and one was written to his two sons.
"Ying Ji, what's wrong?" After Yang Jisheng explained to Zhu Ping'an, he asked loudly in the direction of the house.
"I also asked the father to punish him, the child was thirsty, poured a cup of tea, didn't think the tea was too hot, and accidentally knocked over the teacup." As soon as Yang Jisheng's words fell, an explanation from a ten-year-old boy came from the back room.
"The big things in the world must be done in detail. How many times has my father said that this time you will be punished to copy the Analects ten times, do you have any opinions? Yang Jisheng shook his head slightly when he heard this, and raised his voice to educate the inner room.
"The child has no opinion." The voice of Yang Yingji admitting punishment came from the back room.
"Senior brother, Brother Ji just accidentally knocked over the cup, so he was punished for copying the Analects ten times, isn't it too much?" When Zhu Ping'an heard this, he persuaded softly.
The Analects has 20 chapters, totaling 15,900 words, and nearly 160,000 words are copied ten times. Brush words are not like modern fountain pens and gel pens, and 160,000 words are copied with brush words.
"Ten times is actually not much, one is to copy the Analects can cultivate one's self, and the other is to deepen Ying Ji's understanding. However, since Zihou has spoken, he should copy it five times. Yang Jisheng smiled slightly and explained the good intentions of the punishment for copying the "Analects", but he still listened to Zhu Ping'an's persuasion and changed the punishment of copying ten times to five times.
"Thank you father, thank you Brother Zhu for your kindness, but the boy has promised a thousand gold, Ying Ji has promised to copy it ten times before, how can he break his promise, and ask his father to take back his fate, and the child is willing to copy the Analects ten times." Although Yang Yingji was young, he was very principled in his work, and insisted on copying the Analects ten times.
"Okay, it deserves to be my son Yang Jisheng." When Yang Jisheng heard this, he praised Yang Yingji's decision, and his face was also salty and honorable.
"Peace is ashamed." Zhu Ping'an arched his hand ashamedly when he heard this, admiring Yang Jisheng's family style. In the world, honesty comes first, and this is a small thing, which shows a corner of the Yang family's family style.
