Daxianguan

Chapter 239 Is it a fabrication?

Of course, some opposing people began to fight back, and some even wanted to unite with others to crusade against "On Self-examination", but obviously, this flame was extinguished before it was ignited.

In the current situation in the officialdom, "On Self-examination" almost won the gold medal for avoiding death. Firstly, it quoted the words of the emperor Taizong, and secondly, there were six literary saints as guarantees.The only thing that can be done is to find out the loopholes in the "On Self-examination". There are many quotations from Taizong's ancestors. Its authors are finished together,
Chu Xian has also been kindly reminded by some civil servants of the Academy of Arts, but Chu Xian is not afraid at all.

The theory of self-examination was written by him after spending several months in Shenhai library. Every word was carefully considered by Chu Xian, so there could be no loopholes.

If you want to say whether there are traps in the book, there are, and it depends on whether others fall into it or not.

A sixth-rank official in the Ministry of Rites of Jingzhou, surnamed Jian, also wrote several speeches, all of which praised Taizong and other sages, and he was one of the group of people who praised Taizong as the perfect sage.

So if someone dares to comment on the mistakes of the sages, he will immediately file a complaint and list the crimes, just like a mad dog whose favorite thing is to bite people.

It is also beneficial for him to do this kind of thing. First, he can get the care of the big boss of this faction. Second, it can also make him have a kind of vanity. Who is not afraid of him among his colleagues?

I'm afraid that he will catch me when I speak and write on weekdays.

This person studied "On Self-examination" all day long, just to find the loopholes in it, not to mention, he really found a few possible problems in it.

"As mentioned in the Introspection Theory, Emperor Taizong looked at the lake one day, and the lake was as calm as a mirror with reflections. At that time, Emperor Taizong said: At the beginning of the heart, there is no stain. Look at yourself in the mirror. Reflect on what I say, what I do, and what I say. There are all shortcomings. No matter if it is human, divine, Buddhist or holy, it is necessary to introspect and reflect, without staining the original intention. No, no, I have never heard of this sentence. If it is what Taizong said, how can I not know it? It must be that Chu String gibberish, made up, ok, ok, I finally got hold of it."

The speech officer surnamed Jian was rubbing his hands excitedly at this moment. He also looked through some books because of this, but he did not find any similar records. In other words, this paragraph was probably fabricated by that Chu Xian.

In fact, as far as fabrication is concerned, officials like them have done it before, and naturally they used some tricky methods, because they are all praises and praises, so no one pursued it.

But in this paragraph of the Introspection, it is said that Taizong said that he was at fault.

In the eyes of people like Yanguan Jian, that is a big rebellion. Taizong is a perfect person with no shortcomings. It is in their interest to maintain this perfect image. In other words, they have no choice but to rely on this from the beginning. Stand up, even climb up.

It’s like talking about the moon in the sky. Some people say it’s square. From the moment he uttered this theory, he must maintain his statement, even if it is to attack people who hold other views.

Taizong's perfect image cannot be broken. Once it is broken, what they said before will become a joke.

Even, it will trigger a chain reaction, which probably won't be a good thing.

Now Jian Xingyan discovered this loophole, and now he thinks it is a great credit, just like more than three years ago, he discovered that the editor of the Southern Jiangzhou Academy of Arts dared to compile a commentary on Taizong's merits and demerits. To report, to attack, this led to the case of the prison in southern Xinjiang more than three years ago.

At that time, because of the prison case, some officials were exiled, and some were directly beheaded. For the official surnamed Jian, these had nothing to do with him. As long as he could use this to stabilize his position, it would be better than anything powerful.

Jian Wende spent a whole night writing about the various drawbacks of "On Self-examination", criticizing it eloquently and thousands of words. Naturally, the central point is whether Taizong Shengzu said in the "Introspection".

The original intention is untainted, look at yourself in the mirror, reflect on what I say, what I do, and what I say, all have shortcomings.

This sentence, Jian Wende looked through the classics and materials, but could not find the source of this sentence, so he decided that it was fabricated by Chu Xian, and punished him for the crime of fabricating holy words.

If this charge is proven, it will be enough for Chu Xian to drink a pot. Even if this wave of momentum is created, the other party's previous achievements and status will immediately collapse.

After all, it is a serious crime to indiscriminately fabricate the remarks of Taizong's ancestors.

Jian Wende thought he was safe, so early in the morning, he handed over his comments and testimonials to Jingzhou Yushi.

There are also many kinds of censors, and they are basically responsible for supervising the conduct of officials. If the words and deeds are inappropriate, or even serious crimes, the censors have the right to intervene.

Jian Wende's backer is a censor who is good at literary prisons. This censor is already a fifth-rank official and is very powerful in the officialdom. Seeing what Jian Wende sent up at this moment, he is overjoyed at the moment.

Obviously, Chu Xian's "Introspection on Self-examination" has been stirring up trouble recently, making the officialdom very unbalanced, and even set off a wave of self-examination. Officials are self-reflecting, looking for problems, and correcting themselves.

But this is not in the interests of Jian Wende and the others.

The 'wall' that they worked so hard to build up is now in jeopardy. This is not a good sign.To put it simply, their flattery is not as good as it used to be, and it even starts to be annoying.

Cutting off a person's future is a sworn enemy.

The official censor summoned Jian Wende and questioned him carefully. He also felt that Jian Wende's attack direction was fine, and as long as they worked well in this matter, they could destroy Chu Xian's so-called "indestructible golden body" .

"It's not too late for this matter. The longer the time drags on, the harder it will be for Chu Xian to deal with, so I will immediately worry about other censors, crusade against this Chu Xian, and at the same time let the officials from all over the country respond, and then form a voice , In this way, Chu Xian can be convicted, as long as the charges are passed, then Chu Xian will never turn around again." This censor is obviously a master in officialdom battles, and he has considered all aspects.

As the saying goes, if you don't move, you will be surprised, and if you move, you will be surprised.

……

Soon, rumors about Chu Xian's private fabrication of Taizong's patriarch's remarks in "On Self-examination" spread, first among the common people and scholars, and later, people in the officialdom also began to talk about it.

This is an effective method for Jian Wende and the others. First create momentum, and when the momentum is almost created, they can directly attack.

Moreover, building momentum first also has an advantage.

In case they were ignorant and ignorant, the ancestor of Taizong did say that sentence. In this way, someone would raise it, and they could stop in time and not get into trouble.

It can be said that Jian Wende and the others considered quite comprehensively.

After the rumors have fermented for a few days and there are no other voices of objection, then basically the matter will be close. At that time, they will jointly sue Chu Xian and convict him.

They are already familiar with this routine.

It's just that in the past few days, rumors about "Introspection" arbitrarily fabricating the words of Taizong's ancestors have been flying all over the sky, but there is no movement on Chu Xian's side.

Like, it's none of his business.

For this reason, Song Yuanzhong, the governor of Nanjiang Prefecture, and Chang Shi, both interviewed Chu Xian alone, wanting to find out his tone, but Chu Xian's answer was extremely calm and calm.

The sacred words in "On Self-examination" all have their sources, and I did not fabricate them without authorization.

Just such a sentence showed Chu Xian's attitude.

But when asked about the specific source, Chu Xian didn't say anything, which made Song Yuanzhong and others anxious and helpless, because once Chu Xian was attacked and knocked down the altar, then they, the upper officials, would also be implicated.

At the very least, the charge of ineffective supervision must be on the head.

"This group of speech officials and censors who have nothing to do all day long are full of food, but they just don't want to see others well." Song Yuanzhong was very angry at the moment.

Because of Chu Xian, he has been in the limelight recently. Chu Xian didn't sue Wen Sheng, which has already given the state government a lot of face.Because the Academy of Arts under his jurisdiction published two works handed down from generation to generation, Song Yuanzhong was also awarded by Shangguan.

But once it is confirmed that Chu Xian fabricated Taizong's remarks privately, all the previous honors will be wiped out.

He also consulted a lot of classics himself, but he did not find the source of that sentence, which made Song Yuanzhong even more flustered. He wanted to call Chu Xian to ask again, but when he asked, Chu Xian ran to various places in southern Xinjiang Went to collect wind.

Whether Taizong's remarks in "On Self-examination" were fabricated or not has become a topic of discussion among many people.

On Jian Wende's side, after waiting for two days, he lost his temper.

They're going to take the next step.

That is to directly convict Chu Xian. Because of the current situation, Chu Xian did not come out to explain the source of that sentence. , they are [-]% sure.

So, he took the initiative to jump out, jointly named some people, and began to accuse Chu Xian of the crime.

After the joint papers were handed in, they had to be reviewed by the Yushitai. After the review, it was extremely important to decide whether an official was guilty.

Of course, people like Jian Wende who reported and sued also had some risks, but the risks were not great.

Even if they make a mistake, it is just a false inspection, not a crime, and at most they will be punished. Therefore, they are already familiar with the routine of this empty-handed white wolf method, and everyone is confident.

Naturally, there are discerning people in the officialdom, who are upright, and they can't get used to the officials like Jian Wende who only flirt with flattery.

These people will only make trouble out of nothing, discuss the faults of others, and use attacks on others to establish their own credit.

It's just that the other party's speed is just right, no matter what, they can't find any evidence against them, so although many officials, even high-ranking officials, don't like Jian Wende's group, even if they hate them deeply, they have no evidence to convict them.
