Chapter 525 The Second Great Ceremony

Zhu Hao has sent a letter to take his family back to the capital.

Seeing that he won't be going back to Anlu in the future, it's easier to take care of his family if he stays with him. Besides, for some business matters, it's more trustworthy to let his family handle them than others.

For the past few days, Zhu Hao went to the Imperial Academy normally, and when he came back in the afternoon, he sometimes dealt with the memorials, but sometimes he couldn't see anyone.

Tang Yin knew that Zhu Hao's work, business and life were pretty much right now, and he was very curious about when Zhu Hao's moves against Yang Tinghe would start.

"Zhu Hao, didn't you say that you want the son of Yang's parents to completely distrust Yang Weicong? Did you remember what he said to Yang Weicong?"

Tang Yin really wanted to know how Zhu Hao predicted the enemy ahead of him.

Zhu Hao shook his head: "Why should I calculate that? Yang Yongxiu must use something that no outsider can think of. Let me guess. If you have no clue, who can be sure?"

Tang Yin frowned: "Then you didn't say it for nothing?"

Zhu Hao casually tossed the memorabilia in his hand aside, and said with a smile, "It's not my style to wait for someone else to make a move and let people lead you by the nose...why don't you take the initiative?
"Right now, I have already discussed with Zhang Cong the specific plan for the ceremony, and tomorrow he will play, and then wait for the other party to dismantle the trick. Isn't this the reaction that a wise man should have?"

Tang Yin was stunned.

Think about it in an instant.

"What you said makes some sense. First propose a big gift, and then use this matter to let Yang Yongxiu discuss countermeasures with the people around him, and then predict their possible coping strategies in advance, which is much better than you guessing blindly... Oops , you haven’t done anything else in your life, you’ve been thinking about this all day long.”

Tang Yin sighed.

Zhu Hao frowned and said, "Sir, don't belittle me all the time. It's meaningless. I don't like what you say."

"cut!"

There was a disdainful sound from the corner of Tang Yin's mouth.

It doesn't matter whether you like to listen to it or not, I'll just say it anyway, and every time I find out that your kid behaves differently from ordinary people, I'll say, I'm mad at you!
……

……

The ceremony finally started.

mid-June.

In his own name, Zhang Cong from the Ministry of Political Affairs presented a memorial to discuss the great ceremony. Originally, this memorial would not be taken seriously, or it would be useless to mention it.

However, because the idea of ​​"inheritance and not succession" was put forward in the memorandum, and the most basic principle of Chinese human relations and etiquette that the eldest son cannot be a successor, it is reasonable and well-founded... After discussing with Zhu Hao, this memorandum can be said to be Daliyi is a comprehensive work, which is more complete than the viewpoints put forward by Zhang Cong in history.

As soon as this discussion came out, Zhu Siru got a treasure and read Zhang Cong's memorial to the public at the court meeting to let the ministers know about it.

Mao Cheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he didn't know how to refute.

Zhu Sidao: "My dear family, as a son of men, I have always believed that filial piety should come first, and that governing the country should start with running the family. If you ignore the basic filial piety and etiquette, how can you take care of the great Ming country? I don't understand this. I don't really understand, and I want to hear your opinions."

The ministers present had long seen that the new emperor attached great importance to the legal system of origin.

Now that such a memorial is presented by an unremarkable Jinshi who observes politics, it is like slapping all the courtiers in the face.

Even though many people are actually very clear about the truth, they dare not bring it up. Now that a young bird rushes out to die, everyone knows that Zhang Cong's political career is over.

No one spoke.

Yu Lin, who had been keeping a low profile until now, came out and said, "Your Majesty, from what I have seen, these new jinshi scholars make false statements about state affairs, compare small filial piety with big filial piety, and confuse the truth. As mentioned earlier, those who are chaotic and normal will be killed!"

Daliyi supported the emperor's side, and now the conservatives have also made a vanguard.

Because the "rules" have already been explained at the first meeting of the ceremony, and what we have decided is the final plan. Anyone who raises objections is a traitor and must be beheaded to set the record straight. Now it is Yu Lin who comes out to re-emphasize it.

Zhu Si asked: "I don't understand, what is small filial piety, and what is great filial piety?"

Yu Lin replied: "Your Majesty respects the Emperor Xiaozong of Daxing, which is great filial piety, and the filial piety to his biological father and mother is small filial piety... Your Majesty's succession is to win the family's family, and the great filial piety should be the first. You shouldn't mess with etiquette with small filial piety."

Zhu Sidao: "I said Yu Qing's family, you haven't figured out the content of Zhang Jinshi's performance, have you? Our Chinese civilization has been passed down for thousands of years, and the eldest son cannot inherit. This is the law of benevolence and filial piety. If one forgets the filial piety towards one's biological father and one's biological mother, that is inhumane.

"Furthermore, you always cite the allusions of Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Yingzong of Song Dynasty to persuade me, but they were raised in the palace before the succession, and the fact of succession is already there. As Zhang Jinshi said, 'the meaning of being a queen is very clear' , and when I succeeded to the throne, I was not raised in the deep palace since I was a child, but only entered as the heir of the vassal state, so why should I have an heir?"

Zhu Si argued hard, and everything he said was taught by Zhu Hao.

Because Zhang Cong has a deep knowledge of Zhu Hao's true biography, when he put forward the great etiquette discussion, he had already thought of the etiquette issues that could be mentioned when the court was fighting for the top. Zhu Si's succession did have the reality that it was inconsistent with the etiquette. The one who came to succeed him was just to let him succeed, and disputes naturally arose.

With controversy, there is room for debate.

Yu Lin was choked back and didn't know how to refute for a while.

Zhu Si refused to let go: "I am not asking you to give a strategy now, but just want to ask, is it possible to discuss such a memorial? If you say no, you should raise objections and submit Zhang Jinshi's Refute the arguments one by one, instead of just emphasizing here that I am here to succeed... If you really think that there should be a successor emperor to succeed the legal line, then you might as well find it from other palaces, I hope to be the head of the Xing Palace , my ability is limited, and it is not enough to govern one side, how can we talk about governing the world?"

Take out the previous attitude again.

If you don't want to listen to my opinion, then I will quit.

At the beginning of the succession, perhaps all the ministers would really replace him in a fit of anger, and just find any reason to say that he is too addicted to pleasure to be an emperor. just come.

But after Zhu Si ascended the throne, it took less than two months to get the right to guard the capital. The biggest problem for civil servants now is that they do not have control over the military.

If they really dare to abolish the new emperor, they will give Zhu Si the truth that they are going to rebel, and they will directly take the blame...

Yang Tinghe, who is known for his tactics, naturally did not dare to do this, otherwise it would be a disgrace to civil servants and he would be nailed to the pillar of shame in history.

The best way to deal with it is to criticize the little emperor with morality and etiquette, so that he can retreat when he is in trouble.

……

……

The meeting ended.

Yang Tinghe returned to Wenyuan Pavilion.

Several members of the cabinet were there, even Yuan Zonggao was there.

Yang Tinghe patted the table in public without hesitation: "Where did the Jinshi come from? Why is there such a disregard for human relations? Didn't he hear the previous decision of the Ministry of Rites?"

Several people present could see that Yang Tinghe was so angry that he couldn't even avoid Yuan Zonggao, the new imperial lineage.

It's like saying it to the new emperor on purpose.

Yuan Zonggao just shook his head and smiled wryly, without any objection.

When he was in the palace, Yuan Zonggao was almost in control of everything, but since he followed the new emperor to the capital, he has become dumb. Recently, his sense of presence has been extremely weak. He didn’t need to say a word in the court for a few days. Discuss something, and after entering June, the new emperor ignored him and let him go.

Even Yuan Zonggao couldn't figure it out, why did he follow the new emperor to the capital?
In order to get the name of a cabinet scholar?

Jiang Mian said: "Jiefu appeases his anger. This kind of argument is actually widely circulated among scholars among the people. The atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty was open. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he was lenient to scholars. Although scholars are not allowed to talk about state affairs, but now..."

The rules of the Ming Dynasty, ordinary scholars are not allowed to discuss state affairs, it was established by Ming Taizu at the founding of the country.

The purpose is to prevent scholars from rebelling.

This means of controlling public opinion was implemented very strictly in the early years of the Ming Dynasty.

However, with the improvement of the status of civil servants, the power of the cabinet has been increasing since Xuande, and the civil servants have been given great preferential treatment after Emperor Xiaozong, and the chief assistant has become the de facto prime minister. Whether you have read the book or not, you will discuss the court affairs.

Because the public opinion environment is enlightened, the people will discuss the issue of the new emperor's legal system, and naturally there will be voices of doubt.

It's all because the so-called "succession and succession" argument is too narrow, even an ordinary person thinks that there is only one son of Xingwang, why should he be adopted as emperor?The new emperor's filial piety to his parents is an act of benevolence and filial piety that sets an example and demonstrates Confucian etiquette. Why should it be classified as an evil act?

Mao Jidao: "Why don't you... meet this new Jinshi later and tell him something?"

Yang Tinghe looked at Mao Ji.

He understood that what Mao Ji meant was that now that there was a thorn in the side and the matter was explained so clearly, it would be better to lure him, buy him over, and then make a compromise memorial to the new emperor. go back.

Jiang Mian shook his head: "Going to see him at this time, I'm afraid it will cause criticism, why not get rid of it..."

Another half sentence.

Yuan Zonggao finally understood that this group of people were all old foxes, they left half of their words, everyone understood what was going on, and he had to think about it.

What Mao Ji proposed should be lure, to win people over.

And Jiang Mian's measure is to punish him, so as to make an example!
One is conservative and the other is radical.

Yang Tinghe, as a scholar of the first auxiliary university, needs to be relatively neutral, but Yuan Zonggao knows that Yang Tinghe will not let go of Zhang Cong who proposed the second big ceremony.

Yuan Zonggao said: "As far as I know, Zhang Cong is over forty years old. He failed many times in the previous test and did not make any achievements. Maybe he used this method to win His Majesty's respect... If he can let him know that the cabinet ministers and ministers in the court will The opinion of the church, step by step, may be able to make him change his mind."

Yuan Zonggao gave the cabinet ministers a lot of face, he didn't think about the problem from the perspective of the new emperor, but spoke for the civil servants.

That's why Zhu Si didn't like him.

Zhu Hao penetrated into the enemy's interior and poached the enemy's corners everywhere.

But Yuan Zonggao really integrated himself into the civil official group, taking the interests of civil officials as the starting point everywhere, which is equivalent to a kind of betrayal of his origin.
