"Xianggong, look at this book of poems. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

After entering the study, Fang Ru walked to Zhao Junchen's side and handed Zhao Junchen a book of poems.

Zhao Junchen took it and looked at it, his face shocked.

On the cover of this poetry collection, the four big characters of "Crane Poetry Collection" are written in a dignified manner.

"Crane ......" Zhao Junchen frowned slightly, and muttered to himself: "Crane , Crane Monk...... Isn't this Guo Tang's nickname? This collection of poems is Guo Tang's? ”

The nickname of the young master Guo Tang is the Crane Monk, which is said to be because he raised a white crane by the pond in his house.

On the other side, Fang Ru nodded again and again, his expression was still excited, his apricot eyes were shining, and he said: "This poetry collection is Guo Tang's work, which contains more than 70 poems by Guo Tang. Xianggong, I deliberately read it with a few gentlemen in the house, and there are several poems in this poetry collection that are very problematic, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are anti-poems. ”

After speaking, Fang Ru walked to Zhao Junchen's side, opened the poetry collection in Zhao Junchen's hand, pointed to a few of them and said: "Xianggong, look at this poem "Spring Hope", there is a sentence in it, 'The emperor treats Shicheng', which is completely undisguised to ridicule His Majesty today. ”

Zhao Junchen's literary literacy is very average, and he has never been good at chewing words and quoting scriptures, after hearing Fang Ru's expression, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart and asked: "What's wrong with this poem?" ”

Fang Ru didn't care either, but explained in detail: "Xianggong, you should know that there is a sentence in "Mencius", which is called 'Shicheng villain', in this way, the intention of Guo Tang's poem is worth pondering, doesn't it mean that Your Majesty only knows how to blindly reuse villains?" If it is further extended, isn't it saying that His Majesty is a dumb monarch today? ”

Hearing Fang Ru's explanation, Zhao Junchen couldn't help but be stunned, only to realize that this poem could be understood in such a way.

On the other side, Fang Ru turned a few more pages, pointed to another poem and said: "Xianggong, look at this poem again, on the surface, it is a poem praising the Taizu of my dynasty, it seems that more than 100 words are all praises of merit, but it uses words such as 'emperor', 'life', and 'special person' one after another, which is even more disrespectful to the imperial court." ”

Speaking of this, Fang Ru also knew that Zhao Junchen couldn't understand it, so he further explained: "The so-called 'Emperor Fei' can be the same as 'Di Fei', the so-called 'life' can be the same as 'a monk', and the word 'Shuren' in 'Shuren' has become the words 'evil' and 'Zhu' when it is separated!" When these words are dug deeper, it is clear that they are ridiculing Taizu for being a monk and tyranny after becoming an emperor......"

Hearing this, Zhao Junchen couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, and found that this kind of thing was far beyond his understanding.

At the same time, Fang Ru continued to explain to Zhao Junchen through the poetry collection: "Xianggong, you see, there is also this poem, 'The women in the city cry for their husbands', which is obviously ridiculing Your Majesty's great joy, and this sentence of this poem......"

Listening to Fang Ru's continuous explanations, a trace of helplessness flashed in Zhao Junchen's eyes at first, but then he thought of something, but his face showed deep thought.

After Fang Ru explained the "anti-poems" in Guo Tang's poetry collection to Zhao Junchen in detail, Zhao Junchen, who had been silent for a long time, finally asked: "Ru'er, are you planning to let me use this poetry collection to create a literary disaster to deal with Guo Tang?" ”

The so-called "literary disaster", which is also known as the "literary prison" in the later world, has appeared since the Sui Dynasty and reached its peak during the Qing Dynasty.

During the Ming Dynasty, the "literary prison" has been intensifying, especially in the Ming Taizu, Ming Chengzu, Ming Shizong and Ming Shenzong these stages, the Ming Dynasty's literary disasters are even more dangerous to everyone in the world, many Confucian scholars are afraid of their own disasters, and they dare not enter the court as officials, and even there is a situation of "more cheating death, feigning madness, and seeking to solve the ministry".

Therefore, if you use this collection of poems in Fang Ru's hand as an excuse to deal with Guo Tang, it can be regarded as an effective means, with the character of Emperor Deqing, if you see these poems and articles that satirize yourself and the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty, you will inevitably be furious, and at that time, it is not surprising that Guo Tang will be beheaded.

On the other side, Fang Ru nodded repeatedly, at this time she felt that she had found a way to help Zhao Junchen-this was the thing she cared about the most-so her expression was quite excited.

So, Fang Ru explained in detail: "This morning, after Ru'er heard that Guo Tang impeached Xianggong in the temple, she was angry with his vicious words, and wanted to punish him for being angry with Xianggong, and then Ru'er thought of some information about Guo Tang collected by Tongji Temple, Guo Tang has always been famous, if he writes a poem above the level, he will inevitably publicize it everywhere, I just hope that everyone will know about it, but there is another poetry collection in his house, which contains many works that he has not handed down, Ru'er thought, These poems that have not been handed down must be very problematic, otherwise how could he deliberately hide them with his character? ”

Speaking of this, Fang Ru's expression became more and more proud, and he said: "Tongji Temple also has eyeliner in Guo Tang's mansion, today Guo Tang was not lightly rectified by Xianggong, and he was once in a coma, so Guo's mansion was also a mess, and Tongji Temple's eyeliner in Guo's mansion took the opportunity to steal this poetry collection and handed it to Ru'er, after Ru'er asked a few gentlemen in the mansion, he found that there were really many poems in it that were very problematic, as long as Xianggong you handed over this poetry collection to Your Majesty, then Guo Tang will not be far from death!" ”

If it was just to punish Guo Tang, then Fang Ru's plan was naturally very good, as direct and effective as usual.

However, Fang Ru was just a woman who had not been tempered by Huan Hai after all, and her shrewdness and ability were more than enough, but her vision of the overall situation was limited. If she is specifically responsible for handling something, Fang Ru will definitely not be disappointed, but if Fang Ru is allowed to think about the long-term and control the whole situation, Fang Ru will probably take care of one and lose the other.

So, after hearing Fang Ru's suggestion, Zhao Junchen sighed softly and said: "If it's just to punish Guo Tang, Ru'er, your suggestion is naturally very good, but it's just just a Guo Tang, I have too many means to punish him, but if it is just for him to deliberately set off a literary disaster, it will be a big loss for me." ”

This time, it was Fang Ru's turn not to understand, and asked, "Because of a small loss?" Ru'er didn't understand what Xianggong meant. ”

Zhao Junchen explained in detail: "For me, punishing Guo Tang is just a trivial matter, controlling power and improving reputation is what I really care about. ”

Regarding Zhao Junchen's long-term plan, Fang Ru naturally understood that when he heard Zhao Junchen's speech at this time, he also nodded in agreement.

Zhao Junchen said: "However, my power is getting higher and higher, even if the military town and the inner court have gradually penetrated, the plan to control the power is still smooth sailing, but my plan to reverse my reputation has not been effective, it is said that in order to reverse my bad reputation, I have spent a lot of effort in recent years, exterminating locust plagues, opening porridge factories, sheltering homeless refugees, and even punishing some cool officials and corrupt officials who do evil, I have done what I should do. But my reputation in the government and the opposition has not been fundamentally changed...... Ru'er, why do you think this is? ”

Fang Ru shook his head blankly.

Zhao Junchen sighed again and explained: "Because, in this era, the people believe in scholars, and Qingliu is the leader of readers!" As long as the Qingliu people believe that I am a corrupt official with the most heinous crimes, then the scholars will follow the trend and preach it, and the people will naturally blindly obey it...... Therefore, no matter how much I do, as long as the impression of Qingliu and scholars remains unchanged, then my reputation will not be fundamentally reversed! ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Junchen turned his head to look at Fang Ru and asked, "Now, do you know why I can't take your suggestion?" ”

Fang Ru's face was full of loss, and he nodded and said in a low voice: "If Xianggong deliberately set off a literary disaster for the sake of just one Guo Tang, then Xianggong, you will completely lose the heart of the world's scholars, and the relationship with the scholar will no longer be able to be reversed. ”

Zhao Junchen nodded and said: "That's right, you also know that I will marry Cui Qianxue as my wife soon, it is precisely because Cui Qianxue's grandfather Cui Mian is the leader of Qingliu, I chose Cui Qianxue as my wife is also to reverse my relationship with Qingliu, and I have been changing my impression in the minds of scholars in recent years, all in order to reverse my reputation in the government and the opposition, but I can't give up my achievements because of a Guo Tang, in that case, I will pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelon." ”

Fang Ru's expression became more and more lost, she originally thought that she had found a way to help Zhao Junchen, but she didn't expect that she was just causing chaos for Zhao Junchen in the end, and even almost ruined Zhao Junchen's long-term layout, so her mood was inevitably a little bitter.

After seeing Fang Ru's expression, Zhao Junchen suddenly smiled again, stretched out his hand to hold Fang Ru's soft wattle, and said softly: "However, this suggestion of yours is still excellent, and it has given me a lot of inspiration, but it is used in the wrong direction...... In fact, this suggestion of yours has a new plan in my heart, if this plan goes well, then I can greatly reverse the relationship between myself and the world's scholars, so that the world's scholars will be grateful to me, and at that time, with Cui Mian's secret cooperation, my plan to reverse my reputation will definitely be able to reap unprecedented results! ”

All of Fang Ru's thoughts were on Zhao Junchen, seeing that his plan not only did not cause chaos for Zhao Junchen, but would provide great help to Zhao Junchen, Fang Ru's eyes instantly brightened again, and asked, "Really?" ”

Zhao Junchen smiled: "Naturally, it's true. ”

Then, Zhao Junchen stretched out his hand and patted Guo Tang's poetry collection, and said: "This poetry collection naturally has to be handed over to Your Majesty, and it is also necessary to create a literary disaster, in fact, I plan to create a large-scale literary disaster, and the more readers who are implicated, the better!" Once this collection of poems is presented to His Majesty, His Majesty will inevitably be furious, and he will also strictly order the imperial court to supervise the world's scholars and strictly investigate all kinds of anti-poetry cases. At that time, as long as I add a little more to the trouble, then everyone in the world will inevitably be in danger, and many famous Confucians will be implicated...... However, this collection of poems cannot be submitted by me, and this literary disaster cannot be ignited by my own hands...... Well, the West Factory has a close relationship with me, and it is best to leave this matter to the East Factory......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Junchen asked Fang Ru with a smile: "Ru'er, you said, if those famous Confucians were implicated in the literary disaster, and finally I secretly rescued them, then how would those famous Confucians look at me?" ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's plan, Fang Ru's apricot eyes flashed, but he became excited again, and replied: "Since ancient times, literati have been the most spineless, and their position has never been firm, don't look at them now they are full of disgust with Xianggong, but as long as Xianggong you can save their lives, then Xianggong you will naturally be their reborn parents, and at that time, they will inevitably change their position, praise Xianggong and praise you!" ”

Speaking of this, Fang Ru became more and more excited, and said: "At that time, with the change of the position of these famous Confucians, the views of the scholars in the world on Xianggong will also change, and after being influenced by the scholars, the people's attitude towards Xianggong will also change, and then Xianggong's reputation in the government and the opposition will be completely reversed!" …… Xianggong's plan is really wonderful! ”

Zhao Junchen nodded with a smile and said, "I was able to think of this plan, all thanks to you, Ru'er." ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's praise, Fang Ru only felt like honey in her heart, and smiled more and more.

*

And at the same time that Zhao Junchen was perfecting his plan to reverse his reputation, Emperor Deqing at this time suddenly summoned the seventh prince Zhu Hejian.

To be precise, it was the seventh prince Zhu Hejian who went to the harem to visit his mother Xiao Guifei, so that Emperor Deqing got the news "accidentally", so Emperor Deqing also summoned the seventh prince Zhu Hejian "suddenly".

Everything seems to be a coincidence, and it never makes anyone think more.

In the imperial study, Emperor Deqing looked at Zhu Hejian, the seventh prince, with blazing eyes, and Zhu Hejian behaved as always deferentially, just after saluting Emperor Deqing, he bowed his head and waited for Emperor Deqing's question.

After looking at the Seventh Prince Zhu and Jianliang for a long time, Emperor Deqing finally spoke: "Jian'er, I heard that your physical condition has gradually improved recently, and I was still a little suspicious, but now that you have a ruddy complexion and a bright gaze, and you have not had trouble standing for so long, it seems that your body has really improved, so I will feel at ease." ”

Zhu Hejian's face showed an appropriate amount of emotion, and said: "My father is busy with affairs, and he still cares about the child's body, and the child is grateful...... I also hope that the father can rest assured, the child's health has indeed improved greatly. ”

Emperor Deqing nodded, staring at Zhu Hejian's expression with a pair of eyes, and said: "Seeing that your health has improved, I am indeed relieved, but in this way, I have no reason to continue to keep you in the capital...... I have already decided to canonize the throne and fief for you in two days, and let you leave the capital and go to the fiefdom town, what do you think about this? ”
