Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 549 Someone is going to hang himself!
In the eyes of the world, the crown prince is the prince of the country, the future son of heaven, under one person, above ten thousand people, and his status is only respected by one person in the world. In fact, this kind of view is very one-sided.The purpose of the country to establish the East Palace is not only for the inheritance of Guozuo and the ancestral temple, but more importantly, to defend the imperial power.

Although the Son of Heaven is the most respected person in the world, there are some things and people that need someone to take care of them, and it is not very considerate to hand them over to foreign ministers, so at this time, the Prince has played its due role.The emperor is a man with a strong desire for control, and he will not allow anyone to share with him in terms of ruling ideology. Even Li Chengqian often acts on request.

Take this trouble between Confucian scholars and scholars as an example. If the emperor really wanted to accommodate Confucianism, wouldn’t it be better to talk to Kong Yingda directly? Is there anyone in this world who is more suitable to be a peacemaker than that old man?However, on the contrary, the emperor did not do this. Instead, he assumed a businesslike attitude and sent it directly to the East Palace for processing.

The emperor's monarchy is becoming more and more stable, he no longer needs to humble any power or sect, the talents produced by the imperial examination can only be used by him, and it is no longer a place for that power and sect to cultivate power and infiltrate the court.

Both Li Chengqian and Dou Kuan understood the meaning of the holy will, so they released Yuchi Jingde, a fierce tiger, and let the always steady Zhang Gongjin go with them in order to keep things under control.

For ordinary gentry students, holding the memorial tablet of the former teacher is to obtain a fig leaf for their pursuit of official career. When it is critical, people will not be in a hurry to save their lives. Who cares whether the former teacher is the first teacher or not? it's the same.

But Kong Yingda, the No. 30 second-generation grandson of Confucius, couldn't bear such a thing. What Yuchi Jingde did was no different from digging their ancestor's grave.He was ordered by the crown prince to run an errand again. With the idea of ​​having a grievance and a debtor, Kong Yingda brought Kong Zhiyuan and other three sons to the gate of Daming Palace-Xindong Palace, took out the hemp rope, cried and hanged himself. Thank you ancestors.

Seeing that the old master played the trick of crying, making trouble and hanging himself three times, the two guards of the East Palace, Heng Lian and Zhang Sizheng, maintained the scene while the other ran to Linde Hall. The minister who hanged himself in the palace, isn't he out of his mind?
In the Linde Palace, Li Chengqian is discussing with Changsun Wuji and Dou Kuan about ensuring spring farming. Next year, there will be incidents of officials neglecting their duties and delaying production in all state capitals.In Li Chengqian's view, this is a problem with the accountability system. What happened after the old man settled the accounts? Isn't it the ordinary people who suffer the losses in the end?This status quo must change.

At the beginning of the discussion, Heng Lian stumbled in. After talking about the cause and effect, Changsun Wuji, who was drinking tea, choked, and Dou Kuan, who was beside him, hurriedly thumped him.

But Li Chengqian told him to invite the old master and others in, what a noisy appearance outside, what is the difference between a majestic court minister and a shrew in the market, it is really unsightly and unofficial.

After the father and son of the Kong family entered the hall to salute, Li Chengqian walked straight up and down the steps, and asked with doubts on his face: "Guzi thinks that there is a shortcoming in his body. He is too straightforward. He talks and does things on weekdays. Where did he offend Qing?" Father and son, Master Kong must be more tolerant, forgive, and forgive."

Hearing what the prince said, Kong Yingda and the others knelt down immediately, saying that they did not dare.However, Li Chengqian pointed at his chest and shouted loudly: "I value love and friendship the most. Qing and other father and son taught and educated people and compiled the Zhenguan Grand Ceremony for us in the Tang Dynasty. For you, the East Palace has always treated you with courtesy, and the courtesy is quite deep. But You actually hanged yourself in front of the East Palace gate and flaunted it in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, this is hurting your orphans."

"Your Highness, the old minister certainly didn't want to make it difficult for His Highness, nor did he want to hurt His Highness's face, but when Yuchi Jingde was ordered by His Highness to handle the affairs of the Wei Mansion, he insulted the most holy teacher-my ancestor, if His Highness hadn't supported him , does he dare to treat the sages as nothing?"

Kong Yingda felt that she was quite reasonable. Ever since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism, all the royal families and scholars in the past dynasties respected the Confucius family. That reckless Yuchi Jingde not only bullied the petitioning scholars, but also The reputation of the Confucian family for hundreds of years, if they can't get an explanation today, their father and son might as well be hanged in the East Palace.

"Master Kong, you also said that your ancestor is yourself. Whether the tablet is in the Confucian temple or in the ancestral hall, it belongs to your Confucian family. If the tablet is in your Confucian mansion, Yuchi Jingde did this, so you don't have to say it alone. Definitely ask the emperor to deal with it severely.

But is that what happened in Zheng Guogong's mansion?Who carried out the tablet of the first teacher?And it became their weapon to attack the imperial court's great politics.

The imperial court didn't ask the Confucian family about a crime of lax family management, which is already something that the whole world can't tolerate, and they dared to call at the door. Did the imperial court and the national law still have their eyes on it?

This is like a Confucian-born student who became a corrupt official. It is a truth that His Majesty did not implicate you, the Confucian leader, the Confucian Family. "

After finishing speaking, after making eye contact with Changsun Wuji and Dou Kuan, Li Chengqian let out a cold snort and walked away. Anyway, we have already said what should be said. The Tian family can bestow favor on your family, but it is impossible to bestow grace on the entire Confucian school. , Go back and understand this truth yourself.

"Okay, get up!" After helping Kong Yingda, Changsun Wuji waved to Kong Zhiyuan and his brothers, signaling them to go down first.

Then he handed Lao Kong a cup of tea and continued: "Mr. Chongyuan, enough is enough. Wei Zheng is the chief examiner personally appointed by His Majesty, and Yuchi Jingde is His Majesty's number one confidant and favorite general. They are all important ministers who have made great contributions to the country. You let the prince What should I do.

Besides, Confucian scholars and students got into a fight a little too much. The teacher's tablet was taken out as soon as it was said to be taken out, and when he ran away, he discarded it like a shoe. This is a bit like a saint's child.You, when you are old, you can just study and keep your family. What are you doing for those people who are trying to gain fame! "

After Changsun Wuji finished speaking, Dou Kuan on the side took up the words: "Mr. Kong, contented people are always happy, you should persuade those troubled students to let go of their prejudices and serve the court well.

Without Butcher Zhang, the imperial court would not have to eat pigs with hair. After all, they are just a small group of people and cannot affect the overall situation.So what if it is the entire Confucianism sect.Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could "remove all schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone", but His Majesty can do the opposite. Thunder, rain and dew are all God's grace, you always have to think about your students! "

Hearing what Dou Kuan said was so serious, Kong Yingda immediately stood up, grabbed Changsun Wuji's sleeve, stared and asked, "Auxiliary machine, what does Shangshu Dou mean?".
