The heartfelt words of the Son of Heaven in front of the Queen Mother made the Queen Mother speechless, as if she was persuaded by the Son of Heaven. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

But at this time, the father-in-law Gao, who was beside the Queen Mother, panicked, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty and the three auxiliary ministers, there is something that the old slave has to say. ”

"In the past, Tao Ying asked Mencius, Shun is the Son of Heaven, how about killing people in a blind eye? Mencius said that Shun despises and abandons the world. Flee and follow the seashore. The Queen Mother is finally the biological mother of His Majesty, King Lu is the brother of the Son of Heaven, I am the Ming Dynasty to rule the world with filial piety, human ethics is greater than the law, how can the son reprimand the mother's fault? Is this not an example for the world? ”

The meaning of what Gao Gonggong said, the queen mother, King Lu, although there is a fault, but the Confucian tradition is that relatives hide each other, the son hides the father, and the father hides the son.

In the past, someone asked Mencius, Shun is the Son of Heaven, what should his father do if he kills someone? Mencius said that Shun would abandon the world and run away with his father to a place beyond the control of the state.

If you want to reduce two-thirds of the wedding fee of King Lu according to the minister's request, isn't it equivalent to the Queen Mother and King Lu admitting their mistakes? Where is there a son who forces his mother and brother to admit their mistakes? This remark is simply contrary to the eyes of the Legalists, but in the eyes of the ancients, it is politically correct. Confucianism is that ethics is greater than the rule of law!

But Zhang Siwei and Shen Shixing scoffed at this. As scholars, they came and went in the imperial examinations, and these were the questions.

Scholars who have experienced countless exams have a set of answers to the Tao of Confucius and Mencius that are beneficial to the exam, or to their own defense.

Gao Gonggong thought that the righteousness of Confucianism could stump Shen Shixing and Zhang Siwei, but for them, it was really pediatric.

Zhang Siwei didn't want to think about it: "Xu Yuanqing slashed his father's hatred, Liu Zongyuan once said, if Xu Yuanqing's father really bends the law, it will be his death from the law, not from the officials." Can the law be hated? Hating the law of the Son of Heaven, and the officials who serve the law, are contrary to the law and overpower. ”

"Therefore, it can be done according to the precedent of the ancients, and the use of cutting the wedding of King Lu is that the queen mother is sympathetic to the officials and the people, this is a good name, how can it ever be."

When Wu Zetian was in power, Xu Yuanqing's father was killed by an official, and then Xu Yuanqing killed this official, and after stabbing his father's revenge, he surrendered to the government.

At that time, it was the righteousness of Confucianism to avenge his relatives, and the officials agreed to release Xu Yuanqing and pardon him for his innocence. But in the end, Wu Zetian's approach was to kill Xu Yuanqing and then commend his filial piety.

This matter reached the ears of Liu Zongyuan later, saying that this was not right, if Xu Yuanqing's father was killed in violation of the law, it was not at the hands of officials, but at the hands of national law. Xu Yuanqing's killing of officials is a contempt for national law, of course he should be killed, and he cannot be commended.

The same can be proved below, it is not that the Son of Heaven wants to tell the Queen Mother to the world that King Lu is at fault, but that the hundred officials asked the Queen Mother to reduce the use of King Lu's wedding, and the Queen Mother sympathized with the people so she agreed.

After Zhang Siwei finished speaking, Gao Gonggong finally understood what it was to play a big knife in front of Guan Gong.

As a eunuch and Zhang Siwei who was born in Hanlin and is familiar with history, it is simply beyond my strength.

Gao Gonggong knew that he couldn't say anything about Zhang Siwei, so he said to the Queen Mother: "The Queen Mother, the old slave is incompetent. ”

Empress Dowager Li's eyes closed, her head suddenly dizzy, and she was planted on the couch on her side, and the phoenix hairpin shook and trembled.

"Queen Mother, Queen Mother." Gao Gonggong and the other eunuchs cried and persuaded together.

The Son of Heaven couldn't help but lose his color when he saw this, but Zhang Siwei and Shen Shixing both tried their best to signal the Son of Heaven not to act rashly.

Empress Dowager Li waved her hand to signal that there was nothing to do, and then said: "The three auxiliary ministers will retreat first, and the mourning family has a few words to say to Your Majesty." ”

Zhang Siwei and Shen Shixing glanced at each other, and immediately Yinuo retreated.

The Son of Heaven knelt in the hall, and then after hearing the curtain, Empress Dowager Li said: "Yijun, come to my mother's side." ”

Yijun is the name of the Son of Heaven, and there are many people all over the world who read it, and when they write these two words, they must lack a pen and avoid it. There is only one person in the whole world who can call him by name.

Gao Gonggong and other eunuchs lifted the beaded curtain, and the Son of Heaven lifted the dragon robe and came to the queen mother's side, full of anxiety.

But seeing that the Queen Mother looked at the Son of Heaven and looked at it for a long time, she finally sighed: "Yijun has finally grown up!" ”

The Son of Heaven was speechless, and the Queen Mother said: "This hand is indeed very good to put pressure on the queen mother with the power of the minister, the Son of Heaven thinks of the family and the country, if this matter is done, the civil and military officials, and all the people in the world will praise you, praising you as a saint like Yao Shun." So motherly and Yiyi are infamous for a while, what's wrong? ”

The Son of Heaven wept and said, "Queen Mother, you know, this is not the original intention of the son. The ministers had no intention at all, they were all forced by the ministers, and they didn't dare to damage your holy name. ”

The Queen Mother shook her head and said, "What is the holy name of the mourning family?" Speaking of the roots, the mourning family is the daughter of a craftsman, if it wasn't for the luck of being selected to serve in the first emperor's mansion, and now I don't know which ordinary man to marry to live his life. It is no wonder that several concubines of the first emperor are secretly laughing at the queen mother as the daughter of the Han family. ”

"They are right, the mourning family is the daughter of the Han family, so they have been poor since they were children, and they are inevitably more concerned about money."

The Queen Mother said to the Son of Heaven: "The mourning family knows the emperor, you have always blamed the mourning family for favoring King Lu in your heart, but for the mourning family, your brothers, the palms and backs of your hands are all meat. ”

"It's just that you, as the Son of Heaven, can still be by the side of the mourning family day and night to fulfill your filial piety, but ...... However, King Lu will become a vassal after his marriage, and according to the law of his ancestors, the vassal king will never be able to return to Beijing after he becomes a vassal vassal. Therefore, King Lu's mourning family is one side and one side less! In the future, even if the mourning family dies, he will not be able to come to Beijing, this is the law of the ancestors, and the heavenly family is ruthless! ”

The Son of Heaven wept and said, "The sons are not filial. ”

The Queen Mother stroked the hand of the Son of Heaven and said: "So Yijun don't blame the mourning family, whatever is so good that King Lu is kept." ”

The Son of Heaven wiped away tears.

The torrential rain has finally stopped.

Just now, the heavy rain was like an oven, and everyone was boiled through.

At this moment, the ministers who were still kneeling in front of the emperor's gate were all pale.

A weak minister, because he refused to take shelter from the rain, knelt straight in the square and fainted, and then was dragged away by the soldiers on the side to a place without rain to take shelter from the rain.

Despite this, there are still dozens of officials, kneeling in front of the emperor's gate without fear of wind and rain.

Their teeth trembled from the cold rain, their faces were pale, and their faces were still unyielding.

But the heaviest rain is over. Under the eaves, water drips sporadically against the uneven floor tiles of the Forbidden City.

Zhu Geng straightened his clothes, went out from the East Pavilion where he had just sheltered from the rain, and knelt beside Wang Jiaping again.

Zhu Geng looked at Wang Jiaping, who was pale from the cold, Yu Shenxing glanced at him, sighed silently, and then looked at the Huangji Gate and said loudly: "Your Majesty! ”

As for Shen Zhengyi, he also played the official hat and came to the square. Shen has always been poetic and romantic, although he has a good backbone, but he is more graceful, and refuses to brave the rain, and even if he kneels in front of the door, the rain is so heavy, the Son of Heaven can't see it.

But Shen always glanced at Yu Shenxing, who was unstable on his knees after being beaten by the rain, and Wang Jiaping, Gu Xiancheng and others showed admiration in their hearts.

Many officials like Shen Cheng and Zhu Geng, who have just sheltered from the rain, are also holding official hats and coming to the square.

There were even hundreds of officials who had heard the news from the DPRK outside the country, who had just arrived from the noon gate. Most of them were lowly officials in blue shirts, and they only acted according to the orders of the ministry on weekdays, and the head of the six departments was the biggest official they could deal with.

This knock has nothing to do with their eight poles, but they have no hesitation, just for a public heart and enthusiasm in their hearts. They knelt down on the water-filled tiles and bowed to the Emperor's Gate.

After the heavy rain, there were more officials from the Huangji Gate, and more than 300 officials had gathered.

The Imperial Gate was once again crumbling.

They knocked and wept bitterly, grieved, indignant, and served the country.

Just then, the knocking on the front door stopped.

There was a commotion among the officials in front, and the Imperial Gate slowly opened from the left and right.

The officials who knocked in front of them took a few steps back, and the officials who knelt down from the jade steps also retreated one after another.

I don't know who shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty!"

One voice after another.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

From front to back, all the officials fell to the ground like undulating waves. But under the canopy, surrounded by guards holding golden melons, treasure tops, and flags, the young Son of Heaven stepped out of the imperial gate.

Baiguan raised his head and said excitedly in disbelief: "Your Majesty! ”

"It's really the emperor!"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! ”

The young Son of Heaven could see it, but the ministers were far away like waves and bowed down, while the three auxiliary ministers stood respectfully at the side.

The Son of Heaven raised his eyes slightly, looked at the sky washed by the heavy rain, and said silently in his heart: "Don't worry, the first emperor, I will definitely be a son of heaven like Yao Shun!" ”

At this time, Zhang Siwei led the three auxiliary ministers to kneel down and bowed three times and bowed five times.

The hundred officials also bowed immediately, and then the mountain shouted: "Holy bow and ten thousand blessings." ”

The Son of Heaven's gaze drooped from the sky to his eyes, nodded lightly and said, "Invited by the hundred officials, I am already the Empress Dowager with the three auxiliary ministers." The Queen Mother is holy, thinking of the people, and worrying about the worries of the people, so I came here to tell the ministers and all the people in the world. ”

The jade voice of the Son of Heaven clearly echoed in the square, and he paused and looked at the hundred officials below.

Baiguan raised his head and stared at him, some lips were buzzing, and some were raising their sleeves to try tears.

"I told the subjects of the world that the purpose of King Lu's wedding was reduced to 2 million taels, the surplus was 3.9 million taels, 900,000 taels were used to compensate for the salaries of the Jiubian army, and another 500,000 taels were given to reward the border army, 300,000 taels were given to Su Song for disaster relief, and 1.2 million taels were given to the Henan Buzheng Division, the river, and the Cao Yun for relief of the victims, repairing the river embankment, dredging the Cao Yun, and making up for the deficit in Taicang."

When many ministers heard what the Son of Heaven was reading, they all fainted with excitement.

More ministers wept silently, burying their heads on the ground and weeping.

"When the first assistant Zhang Juzheng was in power, he was biased and taboo, clamped down on ministers, and the autocratic and chaotic government could be checked. reinstated his official and gave him 300 acres of land to support his old mother and family. Pardon his third son, the eldest son Zhang Jingxiu posthumously presented the head of the Ministry of Gifts, one of the sons of Yin Qi is a scholar in the house, Zhang Sixiu, Zhang Maoxiu also reinstated his official, but then demoted to the county, Qin this. ”

"The Emperor Shengming!"

Baiguan Mountain is bowing down!

The world is in the heart!
