The Controversy of the Nine Pu Debates (Part I)
(Girls' Literature)
"It's too embarrassing to be bullied. It's just too embarrassing. Zhao Chen said angrily. While walking back and forth in the house. Empress Dowager Zhou sat in the main seat. Calm a face. It also looks like the boss is unhappy.
Yang Yan and Zhao Qianru also felt a little inexplicable. These days. The quarrel between the DPRK and China over the new law has subsided much in the past. The establishment of Yang Yan's staff department has also been initially put on track. We are preparing to carry out the idea step by step. That knew that Cao An came to Yang Yan's Horse Mansion tonight. Said that the emperor was in a hurry. It is necessary to urgently order the horse and the princess to enter the palace for a consultation.
The two also didn't know what was going on. Don't dare to slack off. hurriedly followed Cao An into the palace. As soon as I arrived at Zhao Chen's dormitory. I didn't expect to see Zhao Chen like this. Girls' literature seems to have suffered a lot.
Zhao Qianru couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Chen." What's wrong with you. Who made you so angry? ”
Zhao Chen stopped. Pull out a copy of the bookcase. Fell to the table. Said: "Sister." Brother-in-law. See for yourselves. Then he paced around the house again.
Zhao Qianru glanced at Zhao Chen. Pick up the book from the table. Open it and take a look. I couldn't help but change my face. "Smack". Close the split book. Keep your head up. "This is simply too much. ”
。 Back to it. Hate said: "These people are so hateful. This time, I'm going to exile them all to Hainan. Let them know what happened to them. Do you dare to underestimate me after seeing them? ”
Yang Yan felt even more inexplicable. took the dismantled book from Zhao Qianru's hand and looked at it. It turned out to be written by Wenhuan, a waiter in the Ministry of Rites. To the effect that Zhao Chen was edicted by the Emperor Taishang. Inherit the throne. Therefore, filial piety should be respected as the imperial examination. And respect his biological father Zhao Jue as the emperor's uncle and so on.
It turns out that in the past few days, the affairs of the new law have been going smoothly again. Yang Yan also took office and started work. There weren't so many disputes. Zhao Chen's heart was also a lot more relaxed. And the major events of the DPRK and China are not just the work of changing the law. At this time, the funerals of the two former emperors, Xiaozong and Guangzong, ended in the scriptures. The Imperial Mausoleum building is also largely completed. There are only some finishing touches left. Therefore, Zhao Chen made an edict in the Golden Palace. Respect his biological father Zhao Jue as the emperor's exam. and ordered the Ministry of Rites to discuss posthumously giving the name of his biological father.
"Imperial examination" is an honorific title for the death of the emperor's father. Although Zhao Chen lost his father since he was a child. But after all, it is father and son blood. After becoming emperor himself. Posthumously presented the name and nickname of the biological father. It is also the filial piety of the Son of Man. This is understandable.
But what Zhao Chen didn't expect was. Three days later. Not only did the Ministry of Rites not discuss Zhao Jue's name. Instead, it was Wenhuan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites. Serving the imperial envoys Zhang Dechen and Liu Qia. Taichang Temple Fenglilang Li Hao. The Privy Council Editorial Officer Gao Jianxiang and other five people jointly signed the letter. Called: The latter is the son of the latter. Do not take care of personal relatives. Girls' literature should be updated as soon as possible, and relatives should be allowed to give the first dynasty. Vertical as the norm. Emperor Xiaozong succeeded to the throne. That is, the king of Zunxiu is the emperor's uncle. His Majesty's small sect succeeded to the big sect. It should be the imperial examination with the Zun Kao Sect. Although King Zhao of Huai'an is His Majesty's biological father. Ran is the younger brother of filial piety. He should be honored as an imperial uncle and so on. Other words. Let Zhao Chen recognize Xiaozong as his father. can only regard his biological father Zhao Jue as an uncle.
I can't imagine that it will not be possible to determine the name of my father. Instead, he should call his biological father an uncle. Such a result naturally made Zhao Chen furious. After the Empress Dowager Zhou knew. He was also very angry. So he entered the palace with Yang Yan and Zhao Qianru overnight. Discuss countermeasures. Even Zhao Qianru, who has always been mild-mannered, couldn't help but feel angry when she saw this demolition. Doesn't this make Zhao Chen disown his biological father. It just makes no sense.
The Great Song Dynasty has been founded since then. Girls' literature counts Zhao Chen. The Book of Scriptures was the thirteenth emperor. But even Zhao Chen is included. plus Taizong, Yingzong, Huizong, Taishang Emperor Zhao Gou, and Xiaozong, a total of six emperors. It is not the parent-child succession of the previous emperor. Almost half of all emperors. This is in the middle of all dynasties. These are very rare things. And when these six non-previous emperors succeeded to the throne. Although there have been some wave demolitions. But overall it went well. There were no major accidents. There are no clan disputes. This point also makes the Great Song Dynasty proud.
And among the parent-child successors of the six previous emperors. Taizong, Huizong, and Emperor Taishang Zhao Gou all succeeded their younger brothers to the throne. Therefore, posthumously give the biological father. And there was no big trouble. Only Yingzong and Xiaozong were succeeded by small sects to large sects. Inherit the throne. The experience is somewhat similar to Zhao Chenzhi.
However, Emperor Xiaozong was adopted by Emperor Zhao Gou when he was young. As a stepson. Zhao Gou is recognized as his father. Therefore, he respected his biological father, King Xiu, and Zhao Ziyan as the emperor's uncle. There's nothing wrong with that.
And after Yingzong succeeded to the throne that year. He also posthumously presented Yingzong's biological father, King Pu Zhao Yunrang, with the question of whether he was an "imperial exam" or an "imperial uncle". A three-year-long debate was sparked. At that time, the famous ministers Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu. Fu Bi and others insisted that it should be called the "imperial examination". However, the minister of Taiwan, who was guarded by Sima Guang, insisted on being called "Huangbo". In the end, it was the Empress Dowager Cao who made the move. It is believed that King Pu can be called "Emperor Kao". Girls' literature is updated as soon as possible. And this incident is also known as the "Pu Yi Controversy".
However, Empress Dowager Cao was the widow of the former emperor Renzong. From the beginning it was because of her insistence. Yingzong's rudeness sparked this protracted controversy when he called King Pu the "imperial examination". So for her abruptly changed the decision. It has also sparked a lot of speculation. One said that the hand was signed by the Empress Dowager Cao after drinking. Another theory is that the ministers Han Qi, Ouyang Xiu and others befriended the eunuchs around the queen mother. In the end, he persuaded the Queen Mother. But anyway. The final hand is in the hair. There is no room for change.
But Zhao Chen's situation. It is fundamentally different from Yingzong and Xiaozong. Whether it is Yingzong or Xiaozong. Because Renzong and Zhao Gou have been childless for many years. Girls' literature is updated for the first time, so they are all adopted at a young age. Appointed crown prince. Therefore, Renzong collapsed. Zhao Gou Chan let. Their succession to the throne is a legitimate thing. and the posthumous controversy that sparked. It doesn't seem entirely out of nowhere.
But Zhao Chen is completely different. He was not adopted by Xiaozong. He was not made the crown prince. It's just a clan. It's just because after the collapse of the Light Sect. There are no direct descendants. to become a person who is qualified to inherit the throne. In addition, there is Yang Yan's strong support. and Emperor Zhao Gou summoned. before finally stepping on the throne. That's it. still fought with Zhao Kai for the throne. is considered to have secured the throne.
Arguably. Zhao Chen's succession. It has nothing to do with filial piety. There is also a big difference with Yingzong. Girls' literature at this point. The situation is more similar to that of Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, on the issue of posthumously presenting the father. There shouldn't be any controversy.
If it is really as Wen Huan, Zhang Dechen and others discussed. It is necessary to respect filial piety as the "imperial examination" and respect his biological father Zhao Jue as the "imperial uncle". Didn't Zhao Chen become for the throne. Can you even deny your father? Therefore, it is no wonder that Zhao Chen, Empress Dowager Zhou, and Zhao Qianru are angry.
Zhao Chen sat down at the table. Angrily said, "I will make an order tomorrow." Wen Huan and Zhang Dechen must all be exiled to Hainan to fill the army. ”
Yang Yan said: "Xiao Chen." Don't be angry just yet. Think about the article behind this thing. ”
Zhao Chen said abruptly: "What other articles are there behind it." ”
After many twists and turns. Yang Yan's political sensitivity has also improved a lot. Zhao Chen, Empress Dowager Zhou, and Zhao Qian are in the game. Concern is chaos. And Yang Yan is a bystander. Naturally, I know that Wen Huan, Zhang Dechen and others will never cause this new "Pu Yi dispute" for no reason. It will not be for the sake of adhering to any so-called etiquette. There must be a new power struggle hidden behind this.
In fact, the "Pu Discussion Dispute" back then was not a simple dispute over etiquette and law. Sima Guang and other ministers insisted that King Pu could only be called "Uncle Huang". It is hoped that Yingzong can live in harmony with Empress Dowager Cao. to maintain unity within the imperial court. And Han Qi, Ouyang Xiu and other rulers considered Yingzong to be the realistic representative of imperial power. Therefore, he wholeheartedly supported Yingzong. In fact, the essence is the dispute between the "rear power" represented by the Empress Dowager Cao and the "imperial power" represented by Yingzong. Then this time. Believe is no exception.
Listen to what Yang Yan said. Zhao Qianru also immediately calmed down from her anger. Because she was originally very politically minded. Think about it. I immediately understood the reason.
Now, the controversy between the DPRK and China about the new law has gradually disappeared a lot. Most officials have temporarily maintained a wait-and-see attitude, partly because of Zhao Chen's resolute attitude. And after the Great Song Dynasty just reinstated. There has also been no large-scale bloc opposition between the DPRK and China. On the other hand. When the new law has not yet had obvious negative effects. Nor are there sufficient grounds for opposition. Sticking to the saying that the ancestral system is immutable. Obviously not enough to be very convincing. If you want to block the new law. Alternative avenues must be avoided.
Strictly speaking. Zhao Chen is not exactly the heir to the throne. Rather, it is semi-bloodlined. The throne was obtained semi-by force. with the emperor of the previous dynasty. It doesn't have much to do with it. Closer to being a founding king. So for Zhao Chen. On the contrary, you can shake off all kinds of constraints of the previous dynasty. Create a dynasty that belongs to itself. Therefore, if the name of the "imperial examination" is posthumously discussed. can make Zhao Chen admit that Xiaozong is the "imperial examination". Then it is equivalent to admitting that Xiaozong is Zhao Chen's father. can make Zhao Chen officially merge into the Zhao family's lineage. In the concept of morality that puts filial piety first. It is entirely possible to use the Dali of "the son does not change the father" to oppose the change of the law.
Of course. The ministers who oppose the change also know it. Zhao Chen definitely doesn't have to follow from now on. I will definitely fight for it. In that case. It is bound to cause another controversy. But that's not a bad thing either. If it can lead to a big controversy like the "Pu Yi Controversy" back then. Put the emperor. The attention of all the ministers was attracted to the battle for the titles of "imperial examination" and "imperial uncle". It is also possible to temporarily bring the change to a standstill. Arguably. This is after the efforts of the ministers who opposed the change. Finally came up with a brilliant plan.
Zhao Qianru told the Empress Dowager Zhou, Zhao Chen, and Yang Yan what she had figured out. Yang Yan not only sighed. There is such intelligence. But it is used in the struggle for power and profit. If it is used to plan for the country. How good it would be to make the country rich and the people strong. I'm afraid that the Great Song Dynasty has already created a prosperous era.
At this time, Zhao Chen understood. He couldn't help but hate: "I must not let them be presented." ”
