Chapter 715: The First Sentiment of the Ages; Let's fight
Hearing this news, the city was shocked, and the officials of Kaifeng Mansion searched like crazy, but did not find Zhao Niannu.\\
So all kinds of discussions came out.
Zheng Lang finally led these discussions in one direction.
He didn't expect Zhao Niannu to disappear suddenly, the autumn was crisp, and he was ready to wait for the weather to cool down again, and he was going to deal with Meishanman, and received a letter from Cui Xian.
Cui Xian did not participate in the Zhao Niannu case, but vaguely guessed her husband's thoughts, and after Sima Guang visited, she immediately wrote a quick letter and found some connections and quickly sent it to Tanzhou. It was only after passing by, and no advice was given for the husband to judge.
Cui Xian's letter came in time, and after Zheng Lang read it, he wrote an article, of course, at this time he didn't know that Zhao Niannu was missing, although he was very annoyed, this article was not too much.
Written around one thing, why Mother Li wants to live in the Horse Mansion.
The humanistic spirit of the Song Dynasty made many systems different from those of the Tang Dynasty, but the system of the Tang Dynasty could still be adopted more. The so-called Horse Mansion is actually the Princess's Mansion, which is not built for the horse to live, but for the princess to live. If in the Tang Dynasty, once the princess opened the palace, she could set up a retainer, and her husband could only be regarded as a courtier at home, a noble courtier. Even if he is Guo Ziyi's son, at most he will scold a few words, the emperor will not dare to blame, Guo Ziyi has to obediently ask for guilt. Drunken beating of the golden branch is just a folk legend.
The Song Dynasty is slightly different, if you have to live, if the princess does not object, and the horse is filial, you can move in.
Guan Jian is now out of harmony with his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and Li Wei is not Li Yonghe's only son, so he has to let Li Wei support him.
As an elder is a mother-in-law. But in turn, a princess is a princess after all, and this is in feudal times. In the era of constitutional monarchy, the princess was still a princess, and her status was higher than that of her mother-in-law.
If there is peace, forget it. If you don't get along, you have to quarrel with each other, you don't necessarily have to let the mother-in-law let the princess daughter-in-law, but at least you have to leave the Horse Mansion. Why do you keep living and not leaving?
Only for Mother Li, not for others, not for a twist, but an article. Published in the Taixue newspaper.
Zheng Lang's intention is very simple.
Li Yong and his wife are Zhao Zhen's aunts, Zhao Zhen is not easy to say, the minister automatically ignores it, wants to abuse Zhao Zhen and Zhao Zhen's family, and win a clear name for himself, ignores this article, and says it on behalf of Zhao Zhen.
Think about it from a different perspective. There will be many doubts about this case. will reduce the pressure on Zhao Niannu, and he will not fall behind.
It just so happened that Zhao Niannu was missing.
Some doctors in Taixue are not very happy in their hearts, and the husband and wife often quarrel and quarrel, and the wife is wronged, where to flee. I had to go back to my parents' house. But some ministers impeached desperately, forcing the emperor to forcibly send the princess back. This one is good, the result of the investigation of Kaifeng Mansion, the princess is missing a few clothes, about to escape, this is still the best result, some people directly said that the Li family was harmed, and the corpse was destroyed. Kaifeng Mansion continued to interrogate, and as a result, some truths were asked. The princess went back, but after she went back, Mother Li was unconscious and continued to abuse. In any case, Mother Li must have made a serious mistake.
So Taixue used large characters to publish Zheng Lang's article on the first edition.
Some people finally went silent.
This article reminds them of one thing, the eldest princess not only has a father, this father has the most power, but it will not make them afraid, but there is also a godfather who is deadly.
It doesn't matter if the princess is still in the Li family, but now her whereabouts are unknown, in case there is a mistake, Zheng Lang fulfills his promise to protect the happiness of the princess for a lifetime, and there will be big trouble.
Zheng Lang was in the mountains of Meishanman at this time.
I am greedy for life and afraid of death, how can I make my soldiers not afraid of sacrifice? Therefore, every time Zheng Lang can win a battle, he not only respects the soldiers and listens to the opinions of some famous generals, but also plays a good role in this leading soldier. Zheng Lang went to the front line for a stop, that is, the Light Blessing Technique of the God of Light, the madness technique of the barbarian high priest, which could increase the combat effectiveness of the soldier by at least half, and the higher his status, the more significant this increase in spokes.
Hearing the news, Zheng Lang went crazy.
Since everyone doesn't know the severity together, let's go crazy together.
Hence the second article, a battle article.
Let's talk about adultery first.
Something has to be said.
What kind of person is Liang Huaiji, a eunuch, if he is in the deep palace, there may be some palace maids who fake acts and use them to satisfy their hunger. The eldest princess has already left the cabinet, why should it be so?
To put it mildly.
If this sentence is a few hundred years later, science will flourish, everyone may not be able to understand it, but it can be understood in the Northern Song Dynasty.
The Northern Song Dynasty was open, and many women could raise wild men outside, steal people, and steal monks. After leaving the cabinet, the princess has no restrictions, even if she is dissatisfied with Li Wei and wants to develop an adulterous relationship, is it worth developing with a eunuch who has no JJ?
The Li family is a relative, isn't the relative a subject of the Great Song Dynasty?
Another crucial sentence. The real master in the Horse Mansion is not Mother Li, or Zhao Niannu. The relationship between the monarch and the minister, the daughter-in-law and the mother-in-law, and the relationship between the monarch and the minister are in the first order.
Anyway, I don't believe the rumors in the capital, otherwise, let me go back to the capital to investigate and deal with this case, if the rumors are true, I will thank the world and the Li family. (Use his life to guarantee Zhao Niannu's innocence)
Why does a rumor cause a big uproar in the world?
Without him, there is no distinction between kings and ministers, and the so-called name is sought by slander.
The emperor is benevolent, because of the emperor's benevolence, how many inexplicable things have happened since the emperor succeeded to the throne. Empress Guo died in vain, Shang Meiren pulled out of the palace and died in anger in the Dao Palace, and now it is the turn of the eldest princess, and the whereabouts of the eldest princess are unknown. Looking at the history books, have you ever been, there have been, when the Eastern Han Dynasty was corrupted and the Tang Dynasty was corrupted, relatives usurped power, and eunuchs forced the palace. The offenders are of the same nature.
One is the eldest princess who has just left the palace, a teenage girl, and the other is a little eunuch who has been staying in the deep palace in her twenties and doesn't know anything about the world.
The emperor wants to be a good emperor and lead by example in everything, which is the best time in the Great Song Dynasty. But the emperor is the king of the world and the father of the world, not a trilogy. As the eldest princess, the princess should be strictly educated. But the princess is the eldest princess of the Great Song Dynasty, not the maid of Chen Zhizhong's family, she can fight if she wants. Scold if you want, and slander if you want.
Where is the way of kings and ministers?
Why did a rumor with many doubts actually let the doctor pick it up? Feel free to defile the eldest princess. The biggest crisis of the Great Song Dynasty came, and some scholars tried to overthrow the status of the king, pressing it into a trilogy, and the harem concubines into slaves, and then overriding the generals, relatives, and royal families.
(In feudal times, the emperor did not have the authority of the emperor.) What does that mean)
When the princess got married, the people of the whole capital were blessed, because there was a good emperor, who brought a happy life to the people of the entire Song Dynasty. But what kind of life did the emperor live, he was reluctant to drink a bowl of soup until midnight, he was reluctant to eat meat when he usually ate, and he was reluctant to call his subordinates when he was thirsty and wanted to drink water halfway. What is the emperor wearing, the minister entered the palace to discuss matters, the eldest princess was young, and the minister was rude to hold her in his arms and pee. The emperor gave the minister a change of plain clothes, which is the emperor's best clothes, and now I let the inner people hang on the promenade of the royal street, and everyone goes to see what kind of fabric the emperor's clothes are made of.
Such an emperor, what else do you want, can't you give a little tolerance. Many of the emperor's children died early, and the eldest princess is the meat of His Majesty's heart. It is a good thing for the minister to impeach and admonish, but why take the fallacy as a fact and slander and attack the eldest princess at will. Eating the king's fortune, the matter of loyalty to the king, is this how to be loyal to the emperor?
And you people, a rumor, why don't you defend the emperor and the eldest princess, it is actually widely spread, are you worthy of the emperor's simplicity and benevolence? Fight, fellow fathers and fellow villagers in the capital, go find the source of the rumors, and ask the disloyal and unfilial ministers who regard the emperor as a subordinate, unscrupulously, slander the royal family, and cause the life and death of the eldest princess to be unknown.
Two copies, one sent to Taishu and one to Cui Xian.
Cui Xian didn't expect things to develop to this point, and she slightly disagreed with her husband's approach, but after thinking about it and cooperating, anyway, her husband's reputation is too obvious, so it is better to let him simply offend some ministers, which seems harmful to her husband, but it is actually beneficial.
Therefore, it was hung with Zhao Zhen's plain clothes in the promenade of Yujie.
It was the emperor's clothes, and the audience was like a mountain, but after seeing it, the people were speechless, or sighed for a long time, it turned out that the emperor was wearing such clothes.
After reading this article, the doctors of Taixue were hesitant at first, it was too extreme.
But there is one difference.
Dr. Taixue was also nominally an official of the Song Dynasty, but they were an alternative group with no real power, and were excluded from the mainstream of scholars, at least not very harmoniously with the mainstream of scholars. In addition, Cui Xian hung this article out, and simply published this article.
As soon as this article came out, there was an uproar in the capital.
Especially the children of the clan, they were so aggrieved that they didn't even dare to gasp in front of the scholars. This article allowed them to see the opportunity to turn over the serfs and sing, and to coax in the middle and expand the situation.
There are also some ordinary people who think that they have done something wrong and spontaneously look for the source of the rumors. This is easier to find, Mother Li did it unscrupulously, and easily pointed this source to the people of the Li family. In fact, because of the disappearance of the princess, the officials of Kaifeng Mansion attached great importance to it and inquired about the case, and the questioning was an attempt to ask where Zhao Niannu would flee, but they asked one suspicion after another.
first found out that Li Wei and the eldest princess were not living in harmony. It doesn't matter what happens, some husbands and wives sing about their wives, and some husbands and wives are an adversary, which is called bad fate. It is difficult for a clean official to cut off family affairs, and he can't manage it.
Then I found out what Li's mother had done.
There are descendants of the Li family in the Horse Mansion, as well as palace maids and eunuchs sent from the palace. The people in the palace naturally spoke to Zhao Niannu, and the subordinates of the Li family saw that the whereabouts of the princess were unknown, and they didn't dare to speak for Li's mother, so they could only support me.
So the truth was opened one by one, Zhao Niannu was a teenage girl, with a strict family education, what would she quarrel about, what would she make trouble. It's just not very good for the horse, but in terms of lip service, where can it be compared to the opponent of Mother Li, who grew up in the market since childhood.
Li Yonghe is not a good starter, the family is selling ghost money to live, Li Yonghe does, his wife sells, he is a small stall vendor in the capital, can he do it with poor kung fu?
Before the princess had an accident, she was angry with Li's mother in the Li family, and what the truth was that night was unknown, but it was impossible for the princess to have anything to do with Liang Huaiji through the analysis of the eunuchs and maidservants who served the princess. Even because the princess has a strict education in the palace, if she doesn't get married, she doesn't even know what the personnel are. It's true that the princess drinks alcohol, and it is estimated that it is mostly bitter and stuffy. Quarrel that day. They were too frightened to go in, but they heard Mother Li roaring, but they didn't hear the princess arguing. Then the princess banged on the palace door in the middle of the night. Ask to enter the palace.
Ask yourself, who can stand such an insult? I was angry and didn't run to my mother's house. Where to run.
Then the princess returned to the Pony Mansion again in humiliation under the pressure of the minister's impeachment, and was careful to respect Mother Li, but Mother Li did not know how to restrain herself and did more and more excessively. About the princess was so angry that she couldn't stand it, and she couldn't go back to her parents' house, the emperor didn't let the princess go back to her parents' house, and the ministers were talking nonsense. I couldn't stay in the Horse Mansion, and I had no way to go, so I had to run away from home.
The final confession was a bit wronged by Li's mother. Mother Li did more and more excessively in the end, and it was also the result of Zhao Niannu's teasing when there was no one in private, but no one was on the side, and no one was a witness for Mother Li.
The case deepened the trial. It is more and more beneficial to Zhao Niannu.
This matter is so eye-catching, the case is under trial, and the news is constantly circulating through the officials, and then combined with Zheng Lang's article, the people of the capital have come to their senses.
The princess was wronged. let the bold Mother Li and this group of scholars who don't know the height of the sky, and have no king and no father are forced to run away from home.
The Song Dynasty was very lenient in the control of public opinion, and now it was chaotic, it was really chaotic, and many hooks immediately launched all kinds of miscellaneous dramas to cry out for the princess. Finally, under the command of a few well-intentioned people, many people came to the imperial city in the morning in the morning, and the soldiers and doctors stopped them and shouted in unison: "Return our eldest princess." ”
Fight, grassroots, this is the only chance to humiliate the high-ranking doctors.
The scholars and doctors are high up, they all ignore the power of the masses, they are grassroots, living at the bottom of the society, Zheng Lang said that the world is the elite world, and it has nothing to do with the people at the bottom. But if there is an opportunity, if someone unites them, this force can push the heavens and the earth.
In fact, Zheng Lang was in Lingnan, in the northwest, in Taipingzhou, and in Hangzhou, and there were all kinds of methods, all of which vaguely mobilized the masses, and only then did he achieve all kinds of dazzling political achievements and military exploits. But how many scholars can see through this truth?
Even now, if Fu Bi goes to Lingnan, Fu Bi will not think of mobilizing the power of the masses, so that they can spontaneously defend the security of Lingnan and increase the strength of Lingnan. Most of them still follow the previous practice of forced conscription.
The capital is in turmoil, Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi have a headache, what is Zheng Lang going to do?
If this development continues, the ministers will not be able to go to the early dynasty. Let the people block in front of the palace gate together, and every time the guards disperse the people to enter the court, but most of the guards are children from the capital, maybe their families are also inside, although they are driven away, but it is very ineffective.
Zheng Lang seems to be really crazy.
Not only did he publish an article that looked like a battle script, but he obviously had insufficient troops to deal with Meishanman, but he took out a thousand shrewd and capable soldiers, holding a portrait of Zhao Niannu painted by Zheng Lang himself when he was thirteen or fourteen years old.
It's not impossible, Zhao Niannu looks good, and he doesn't understand anything, if he lets the turtle slave lure him into the Qinglou, it will be the biggest shame in the Song Dynasty.
Then the third article comes out.
Directly pointed at the ministers who impeached Zhao Niannu.
said that Ouyang Xiu was familiar with the scriptures, but he didn't know the general situation, he didn't abide by the way of the monarch and the minister, he was not good at morality, and he did all kinds of bad things, but he wantonly slandered the eldest princess.
The prototype of the real Bao Qingtian, the black-faced and iron-faced Yushi Zhao Luan, made Zheng Lang say that he was angry.
Zhang Yu said that he was old and dizzy, and he did not distinguish between right and wrong, and his severity was unknown.
Guo Shenxi does not learn and has no skills, does not respect the lord, and takes slander as his own responsibility......
Nearly ten ministers who impeached Zhao Niannu were counted one by one.
Then the spearhead was directed at Zaifu, and the Jiaozhi people had to make inches, and Zaifu ignored the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the south who died in battle, and actually wanted to make peace with a small Jiaozhi, and there was only a military minister Di Qing in the Chongzheng Palace. It's okay to be reconciled to Jiaozhi, but he is so cruel to the emperor and the eldest princess. As a scholar, to be a saint, to be a gentleman, there are quite a lot of doubts in this case, Mother Li has been living in the Horse Mansion and not leaving, which is even more questionable, but no one has raised this most obvious doubt. Wen Yanbo is suspected of bribing the harem, Fu Bi did not perform well in the Qingli New Deal, the emperor used talents in an eclectic manner, and promoted him to the prime minister, and some crazy scholars and doctors wantonly slandered the eldest princess, did not know how to repay the emperor's favor, and blindly sat back and endured the expansion of the situation. What kind of gentleman are you, and what face do you have as a prime minister?
You must know that Fu Bi is one of Zheng Lang's best friends, and Wen Yanbo is also very happy to cooperate with Zheng Lang in Zhongshu.
After the two read the article. It's all wry smiles, it's not that the scholars and doctors are crazy, it's that you're crazy.
Under the persecution of Zheng Lang. Ouyang Xiu, Zhao Luan, Zhang Sheng, and Guo Shenxi all asked to be released.
The capital had no choice but to go out and let the situation subside.
But few people know another truth. If Zhao Niannu can't find it, with Zhao Zhen's weak body, he will be hit by this, and he won't be able to drag it out for a few years.
The facts also show Zhao Zhen's anger, he has been silent in the palace about Zheng Lang's actions, did not agree to Zhao Luan and others' request to be released, nor did he stop Zheng Lang's publication of one article after another, let alone stop the commotion of the people.
Every time on the morning pilgrimage. Zhao Zhen's eyes were dull, and the minister advanced, just uh-huh, and then dispersed.
In this depressing atmosphere, Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi didn't dare to say anything they wanted to say. But they felt very bad, and now they have gone up to Zaisuke. Down to the officials at all levels, in the middle are the officials of the two systems of speech and ministers, and most of them are ministers of the original Junzi Party.
Zheng Lang seemed to be reasonable. But it's too extreme.
There is only one way to find the eldest princess. Only by finding the eldest princess can this crisis be resolved. However, to their great disappointment, Zheng Lang sent soldiers to look for it, and under the persecution of Zheng Lang, the imperial court sent a large number of people to search for it in all states and counties, and almost every one of them was turned over. As for those brothels in Qinglou, they are even more cautious, and every time they receive a new prostitute, they are carefully interrogated, so as not to fear receiving the eldest princess. It is majestic to let the eldest princess be a prostitute, but after the majesty, it is not too much to cut off the whole house. That dare to collect?
The entire Song Dynasty was in turmoil, but Zhao Niannu was not found, as if Zhao Niannu and Liang Huaiji had evaporated from the air.
Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo have become ants on a hot pot, no, these are two big living people, they can see people when they are alive, and they can see corpses when they die, and they can't really disappear. Is it really as the people said, let Li's mother kill and destroy the body? It seems unlikely, but what if. So he beat the subordinates of the Li family, tortured them to extract confessions, and beat them to death, but they didn't get any clues. The longer the time dragged on, the more angry the people became.
Fuwen and the others were forced to be helpless, and they also wrote a resignation, we are guilty of dereliction of duty, let's let us go too. There is no way, Zheng Lang wants to get justice for the eldest princess, and he wants to put his own people in a pot! Without a pot, Zheng Lang's anger can't be dissipated.
Zhao Zhen continued to be allowed, and everyone stayed up with me.
But Zheng Lang's anger made Zhao Zhen and Miao Guifei's cold hearts blow a trace of warmth.
Autumn is deep, and the moonlight is cold.
Two dialogues are taking place in the capital.
Zheng Ping tasted it and said to Cui Xian: "Niangniang, I am my father's daughter." ”
"Ping'er, you don't understand, your father is not seeking justice for the eldest princess, but for the emperor."
"Not really."
"Ping'er, you've read a lot of history books, think about it, if a minister does what happens to your father, what will happen in the end?"
"I understand, it's the emperor."
"Ping'er is so smart, she is the emperor, without the emperor, your father would not be able to do many things. In other words, if you have something bad, will your father be anxious. Now that the whereabouts of the eldest princess are unknown, what will the emperor be in his mood. ”
"The emperor is too weak."
"I can't say that, although the emperor is soft, if not, then such a great rule? It's just that in this way, being an emperor will be very hard. ”
"Just like my father, I want to be a good courtier, so I do it very hard."
"Yes, there is a truth, Ping'er has also grown up, so I don't know that good boy can marry my smart Ping'er."
"Mother's ......"
On the other side, in the inner palace, Gao Taotao said to Zhao Zongshi: "Husband, brother-in-law is fortunate and unlucky. ”
"Talking, why do you say this?"
"Unfortunately, my brother-in-law has suffered a miserable life."
Zhao Zongshi just snorted.
"Husband, don't make such an expression in the future," Gao Tao said sternly.
"I know."
"Fortunately, with such a courtier, the concubine suddenly became interested in this minister."
“……”
"Don't you understand, is it a blessing for a king to be assisted by a minister who is so capable of doing this, and who is loyal to the point of stupidity, to assist the king? In the past, I watched the biography of Zhuge Liang in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and I often sighed. You see how similar the two of them are. This man, you must break your heart. ”
“……”
Gao Taotao's thoughts are still immature, and he can see that part of it is also because of her friendship with Zhao Niannu. But I didn't expect that the relationship between Zheng Lang and Zhao Zhen is not a broken and unbroken relationship, let alone a pure analysis of the relationship between monarchs and ministers, but a faint relationship. It's hard to think of Zheng Lang.
Gao Tao did not speak again, but stared at the night sky, the night sky was bright, the Cowherd and Vega reflected each other on both sides of the Milky Way, and the two big stars made the Milky Way brighter and brighter. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
