I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 183 To force the emperor to issue an imperial edict! (seeking subscription)

Xia Houjian is thin and slender, with sunken cheeks and a bitter face. He is quite strict in governing the "Book of Changes", and believes that all affairs in the court should be based on the "Book of Changes", and all disasters and auspiciousness are the blessings of heaven. hint of the emperor.

Therefore, Xia Houjian has always been the doctoral officer who has given the most complaints to the court.

Xiahoujian and his uncle Xiahousheng would criticize almost every decision made by the court, and then they would play a long speech, from the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to Xiaowen Xiaowu, the one on the left is not as good as the holy king of Zhou, and the one on the right is not as good as the previous one. Zhou ancient system.

Although there are not many things they can change, they are also non-stop.

Initially, they hoped to attract the attention of the imperial court in this way and be promoted by the emperor.

However, being able to cure the scriptures does not mean that the country can be governed well. Confucian scholars like Wang Ji and Zhang Anshi who have the ability to govern the country have long been promoted to real officials.

Being left in Taixue shows that they do not have this ability.

If Xia Houjian resigned to his fate, like other doctors, he would study the scriptures well and bring a few more Confucian scholars with real talents and learning, which would not be a bad thing.

But many people, like Xia Houjian, are unwilling to accept their fate. They always feel that their talents are not appreciated, so they slowly develop resentment.

Over time, the memorials became a way for them to win the reputation of scholars.

No one would bring up this matter in front of Xia Houjian, but a man of action like Huo Guang naturally sees it clearly.

……

Xia Houjian coughed a few times, and said slowly: "You must have known about my uncle's imprisonment, right?"

This incident happened five days ago, and it rained heavily during these five days, but the news spread quickly in Chang'an.

Even, this news may have spread within Sansuke at this time.

"Not only my uncle, but also more than a dozen doctors in the court were sent to prison by the county magistrate."

"The county magistrate issued an edict to ask Tingwei and Zongzheng to discuss their crimes. I am afraid that the punishment has already begun at this time."

What Xia Housheng and others committed was not a serious crime of treason, at most they were convicted for their words, not to mention they were officials with high rank, so they would not be punished lightly.

The reason why Xia Houjian said this was to stir up the atmosphere in the hall.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, some young doctoral students began to discuss indignantly, Zuo just said that "the emperor is insane and unrestrained", "the court is incomprehensible", "the general is incapable of assisting the government"...

If they were outside, they would not dare to say such disobedient words, but here, with the cover of "righteousness" and "people's support", of course they dare to speak freely.

At this time, Hu Chang, a doctor of the "Gu Liang Jing", also said angrily: "Emperor Xiaowu resorted to military force, wasting people and wasting money. This is a statement that has been set long ago at the Yantie Conference. It is simply slippery to give Emperor Xiaowu a temple title." Big joke!"

"The youngest son is right. The county magistrate wants to give Emperor Xiaowu a temple name. It is a chaotic edict, which should not be obeyed. Don't all the officials and officials in the court even see this?" Dr. Gongyang Jing Yan Gongsun also said sullenly.

"Hmph, they are all short-sighted carnivores. Although they are studying my Confucian classics, they have long since become mediocre people who only obey the edicts of the county magistrate. How can they remember what benevolence and righteousness are? What about Li Zhixin?" Xia Houjian said sarcastically.

Among the Taixue, those who think that their talents are underappreciated belong to these three people, and they often get together to discuss government affairs.

However, they only destroy but do not establish, and criticize the government a lot, but they have never proposed any effective measures.

How to keep the people fed, how to keep the Yellow River from flooding, how to provide relief in case of natural disasters, how to fight back when the Huns invaded, how to respond to Wusun's request for help...

In fact, they can't give a solution to the actual situation. They can only keep talking about "the present is not as good as the past" and "the relationship between heaven and man".

"The general is a person who witnessed the Salt and Iron Conference. Has he also forgotten the evaluation of Emperor Xiaowu's merits and demerits by all the virtuous writers at that time?" Hu Chang asked.

"General? I don't usually like to read books. How can I know the true meaning of the words of the sages?" We are honored guests, but at this moment, I am afraid that we are already an eyesore."

Although the doctoral students present were young and didn't know much about government affairs, they all had a heart to participate in government affairs, so hearing this moment, they became even more excited, and even began to curse "Mr. Huo is an ignorant person." .

Xia Houjian didn't stop him, and let the doctor's disciples scold him.

What is needed is excitement.

However, it didn't take long for Xia Houjian, who was secretly watching the situation in the hall, to discover something unusual.

Of the seven doctoral officers including myself, only three spoke, while the rest remained silent, and the doctoral students they brought were even quieter.

Xia Houjian seemed a little displeased. He was the oldest among the seven doctoral officers in office. In addition, Xia Housheng had the most prestigious status in the court, so he always regarded himself as the "head of doctoral officers".

He is now over 40 years old, and it is impossible to make a difference in the court, so he wants to be the pillar of Confucianism.

In this way, not only can they participate in government affairs by cultivating doctoral disciples to become officials, but they can also intervene in government affairs based on their reputation among the people, and they can even be famous forever.

However, Xia Houjian has never found a chance, because although he has made some achievements in the management of the classics, he is not the only one after all. There are many Confucian scholars who have done better in learning than him and have far-reaching reputations. What's more, in the land of Qilu , and the Confucius family in Qufu.

Although Kong Anguo, the ninth grandson of Confucius, is old, his grandson Kong Ba is a classmate with him, and his studies are no worse than his own, and he is faintly superior in all aspects.

Therefore, no matter in terms of knowledge or family, it is absolutely impossible for Xia Houjian to become a pillar of scholars without a chance.

But now, the opportunity is in front of him, that is to take advantage of the opportunity of "Emperor Xiaowu ascended the temple name, Xia Housheng was wronged and imprisoned", gather the power of Confucian scholars, force the emperor to withdraw the edict, release Xiahou Sheng, Sin against yourself.

If these few things can be achieved, then Xia Houjian's reputation will definitely exceed that of all the great Confucianists in the world, and even be comparable to Dong Zi who "dismissed all schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone".

The temptation of fame and profit is too great, that's why Xia Houjian is here today.Can't wait to call all the PhDs and PhD students.

To accomplish such a major event, at least the Confucian scholars in Chang'an must first be kneaded together.

But now, out of the seven doctors, four of them don't send out, and this power has been reduced by more than half.

After a while, Xia Houjian coughed vigorously to silence the discussions in the main room, and then planned to take the initiative to attack.

"Just now, Mr. Hu and Mr. Yan have expressed their opinions. How do the rest of you think about this matter?"

Xia Houjian's eyes swept over the faces of several people, and finally stopped on Tian Wangsun, a doctor of "Book of Changes", "Mr. Tian, ​​what do you think of this matter?"

The "Book of Changes" contains the theory of yin and yang disasters. In short, whether it is disasters or auspiciousness, it is related to the general trend of the world.

Just like what happened today, just after Xia Housheng issued an edict to prison, there was a five-day torrential rain in the Sanfu area. Ordering nature is also random.

That's why Xia Houjian first asked Tian Wangsun for his opinion.

Tian Wangsun is different from Xia Houjian in that he is not very enthusiastic about government affairs. He believes that governing the economy is governing the economy, and doing politics is doing politics. Your Majesty makes an admonition.

Instead of doing the opposite.

If there are natural disasters and man-made disasters, then it is attributed to the wrong administration of the emperor's court, that is, the emperor has been wronged, and the emperor will not be able to govern in the court.

"I don't know exactly what happened in the court. Up to now, there is no conclusion on this matter." Tian Wangsun said.

This made Xia Houjian frowned, making it clear that he did not want to participate in this matter.

"Hmph, this matter has already been widely circulated in Chang'an, why does Mr. Tian still say that there is no conclusion yet?"

"It is precisely because of the uproar, that's why there are different opinions."

"My uncle is in prison right now, so it's still fake?" Xia Houjian asked aggressively.

"It's true that Uncle Shi is in the imperial prison, but I heard that Uncle Tian also slandered Emperor Xiaowu for his militarism and a faint emperor." Tian Wangsun said without any hesitation.

Xia Houjian's eyes were gloomy, very displeased.

"Huh? Isn't that right?"

"Emperor Xiaowu used his troops year after year because of the Xiongnu's looting of the big man. If the Huns didn't come, why should my big man fight back? What's more, even if the government is biased, the court has the rules of the court. How can I be a big man?" What about the previous ruler who was dismissed as a foolish ruler?" Tian Wangsun said to Xia Houjian's gloomy gaze, neither humble nor overbearing.

"This was decided by all the virtuous writers at the Salt and Iron Conference. Has Mr. Tian even forgotten about this?"

"I, Prince Tian, ​​have never participated in the Salt and Iron Conference. If I am lucky enough to attend, I will definitely argue for Emperor Xiaowu. What's more, Emperor Xiaowu issued the Luntai Edict in his later years, setting the national policy of cultivating health and rest. If there is no such article , I'm afraid I won't have the good situation that my big man has today."

After Tian Wangsun finished speaking, the other three doctors who did not speak also agreed one after another. Just as Liu He and Huo Guang guessed, Emperor Xiaowu's merits and demerits were originally a controversial matter.

If someone slanders, someone will naturally support it, which is normal.

At this moment, with the passage of time, more and more people realized that even though Emperor Xiaowu used troops frequently, it was still out of public interest.

Moreover, Emperor Xiaowu not only has martial arts, but also Wenzhi, how can it be generalized.

What's more, even if Emperor Xiaowu has made meritorious deeds, he is worthy of this temple title-Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong, are they given temple titles because of meritorious deeds?

That being the case, this matter should not be obstructed indiscriminately; the obstruction is not out of public interest, but out of selfishness.

If you are selfish, it is impossible to get everyone's approval.
