Eastern Jin Dynasty: My powerful father

Chapter 273 Easily

French sociologist Foucault mentioned in his book "The Order of Discourse":

'Power is something that works through words. '

'Once your words are overturned, you will be so fragile that your own life will be in immediate danger. '

In fact, power is a social relationship in a community. The key to the emperor being the emperor and the subjects being subjects lies in the subjects' recognition of the emperor.

Even if you are from a humble background, as long as you are unanimously recognized by your subjects, you will become an emperor, such as Zhao Kuangyin, who wears a yellow robe.

Of course, Zhao Kuangyin was mainly recognized by the generals of the Forbidden Army, and his background was not humble.

His great-grandfather Zhao Jue served as the imperial censor Zhongcheng of the Tang Dynasty, and his grandfather Zhao Jing served as governor of Ying, Ji, and Zhuo prefectures. His father Zhao Hongyin joined the army and was highly valued by Zhuangzong Li Cunxu of the later Tang Dynasty, Guo Wei, Taizu Taizu of the later Zhou Dynasty, and others.

On the contrary, even if you are of noble birth and have royal blood, once you lose the support of your subjects, you will become a loner, and your decrees will not be able to leave the palace.

For example, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and Cao Mao who was killed by Sima in the street.

His father, Fu Jian, respected the virtuous and valued scholars, and pursued a policy of light corvee and low tax, which left him a lot of kindness. The civil and military officials in the court were grateful for Fu Jian's kindness, and they were naturally willing to respect Fu Sheng as the emperor and serve him. .

To be able to serve as a general of the Forbidden Army, who does not come from a powerful family.

When Fu Sheng came to the throne, he was naturally unanimously recognized by his subjects. After Fu Sheng's death, Fu Sheng was established as the prince and enjoyed the unquestionable right to inherit the throne.

Fu Jian thought Li Bohu was disloyal and killed him. Because Zhu Xu could maintain his integrity, he made Zhu Xu the minister of the branch. Of course, Zhu Xu was in Cao's camp and his heart was with the Han Dynasty. In the end, in the Battle of Feishui Putting it to great use is a matter of another time and space.

Once, Fu Sheng went out to play in the palace and met a brother and sister. He thought they were lovers and asked them if they were married. The brother and sister told the truth, but Fu Sheng ignored him and forced the two to get married and have sex on the spot. The brother and sister refused. Killed by Fu Sheng.

One sentence can only kill thousands of people, and the crimes are too numerous to describe.

Now, the dignitaries in Jinyang City are surrounding Fu Jian. What other choice can the imperial guards on the city wall make? Could they really shoot their bows and arrows at their own families for the sake of Fu Sheng?

The servants of the ministers continued to join this team, and the people in Jinyang City heard the news and came to gather one after another.

Fu Jian led everyone out of the Donghai Palace and headed towards the palace city.

Looking back to Jinyang Palace, not long ago, Pingchang King Fu Jing mistakenly thought that Fu Jian was dead and led his troops to attack Jinyang Palace. However, this palace wall was insurmountable and turned into a wall of sighs for Fu Jing.

When all strata were against Fu Sheng, even though Fu Sheng was regarded as the emperor, he was destined to no longer be the emperor.

Mencius told King Xuan of Qi:
'If the king regards his ministers as his hands and feet, then his ministers will regard him as his heart and soul; if his ministers regard his ministers as dogs and horses, then his ministers will regard him as a fellow countryman; if his ministers regard his ministers as earth and mustard, then his ministers will regard him as a bandit. '

Today, when Fu Jian came outside the palace gate with his civil and military officials, servants and countless Jinyang people, there was a commotion on the city wall.

However, judging from Fu Sheng's actions, no one in the civil and military dynasty would be willing to die for him. That is to say, Fu Jian did not give Dong Rong, Qiang Guo and others a chance to ask for mercy, otherwise they might not be able to do so. Help Fu Jian wave the flag and shout.

To this day, all classes in the Yu Kingdom are unwilling to endure it any longer, especially the ministers. No one wants to continue living a precarious life.

The Forbidden Army also has parents, wives and children. Whether they are ordinary sergeants or generals in the army, their families may be among the crowd, especially the generals.

No wonder Taizu of the Ming Dynasty wanted to expel Mencius from the Confucius Temple.

In fact, Fu Jian was a man with a moral obsession. The most obvious example is that in the original time and space, Zhu Xu guarded Xiangyang and repeatedly retreated from the Qin army. However, he was captured by Fu Jian because his general Li Bohu betrayed him.

Fu Sheng's cruelty was not just directed at ministers. After all, he didn't even care about the lives of ministers, so how could he care about ordinary people.

However, Fu Sheng committed many unjust acts and harmed loyal and good people, causing the country to be in a state of chaos. In the original time and space, Fu Sheng once defended himself after the strong empress dowager died because of his anger:
'I can only kill a few thousand people, but they say I'm cruel. What's the point? '

Of course, they framed Zhongliang and aroused public outrage. Fu Jian also hated them in his heart, so he never left him alive.

The palace door opened slowly, and no one even went to the palace to report the news to Fu Sheng.

It can only be said that Fu Sheng played his cards badly.

His father Fu Jian, out of consideration for the unity of the clan, did not even bother Fu Jing's family and gave up pursuing Fu Jing's subordinates. He arranged eight auxiliary ministers for him to check each other. However, this situation was all over. Fu Sheng was destroyed by his own hands.

Fu Jian did not bring everyone into Jinyang Palace, which would definitely cause riots in the palace. Once someone took the opportunity to rob, it would be a disaster.

He left all the servants of the ministers outside the palace, and only brought the guards of the Donghai Palace and the civil and military ministers into the palace.

The journey was smooth, and when they reached the side hall where Fu Sheng was, he was drinking and very drunk.

When Fu Sheng saw so many people coming, he put down the wine jar with drunken eyes, looked at Fu Jian at the front of the team, and burped in confusion and said:
"Huh? Is the King of East China Sea here to have a drink with me? Why are so many people here?"

Fu Jian did not answer, Fu Sheng said angrily:

"I'm asking you something, can't you hear me! Someone is here! Lock up Fu Jian!"

There was silence behind Fu Jian, and no one responded to Fu Sheng.

At this moment, Fu Sheng was no longer the supreme emperor.

After winning the support of his subjects, Fu Jian became the man who held a heavy fist in his hand and spoke of the Constitution of Heaven.

He looked at Fu Fa beside him and said:
"Find a way to wake him up."

Fu Fa nodded and called a few guards to walk towards Fu Sheng with him. Fu Sheng was so drunk that he didn't realize that the crisis had come. He was still holding the wine jar and laughing:

"King Qinghe is here too, do you want to drink with me too?"

However, following Fu Fa's order, several guards subdued Fu Sheng. Fu Fa raised his palms and slapped Fu Sheng's face one by one, making Fu Sheng's cheeks red and swollen. Knock him awake.

Fu Sheng looked at the ministers and guards in the hall in horror and screamed:
"What are you doing! You are planning to rebel! Let go! Let me go! Fufa! How dare you"

Before he finished speaking, Fu Fa slapped Fu Fa again, which really stunned Fu Sheng.

But he stopped yelling. When things got to this point, Fu Sheng himself understood what was going on. He looked at Fu Fa coldly and asked:
"Who is the leader?"

Fu Fa didn't answer and wanted to slap him again, but Fu Jian stopped him:

"slow."

Fu Fa retracted his raised palm and stepped aside to make way for Fu Jian.

Fu Jian stepped forward and said:

"it's me."

Fu Sheng was silent for a long time, puzzled and said:

"Although I have killed countless people since I ascended the throne, I am worthy of your brother, Fu Jian, why are you rebelling today?"

There was no sign of success on Fu Jian's face. He just replied seriously:

"For the sake of the Fu family's inheritance, if Your Majesty is allowed to act recklessly, this inheritance will fall into the hands of foreigners sooner or later, and I have no choice but to do so."

Fu Sheng asked calmly:
"So you want to kill me?"

Fu Jian shook his head and said:
"Your Majesty's life or death is not decided by me alone. It should be decided by all civil and military officials."

Fu Sheng knew that he was full of evil deeds, and if all the ministers agreed, he would definitely die. Even if he had not done so many evil things, he would not be able to escape death.

After all, who would defend a deposed emperor?

Fu Sheng laughed out loud:

"Fu Jian, Fu Jian, you are still the same as before, trying to keep yourself clean in everything.

"Now you are about to usurp the throne and establish yourself, but you have to let others carry the bad reputation of regicide for you."

Fu Jian ignored him and left Fu Fa to watch Fu Sheng. He turned around and went straight to the harem, but he did not want to insult Fu Sheng's concubines.

Just as Fu Sheng said, Fu Jian cherished his reputation and could not do such a thing. Fu Jian went to the harem to pay homage to the Queen Mother.

If it were Huan Xi, he might take the opportunity to talk about life and ideals with Queen Mother Qiang. As we all know, he likes widows with high status.

But Fu Jian went to ask for the Queen Mother's decree.

To depose Fu Sheng, from a legal perspective, one has to ask the Queen Mother to come forward.

During the Western Han Dynasty, when General Huo Guang deposed Liu He, he invited the Queen Mother of Shangguan to issue an edict to depose him.

At this time, the news of Fu Jian's palace coup had spread throughout the Jinyang Palace City. The Imperial Guards surrendered without a fight, making it clear to everyone that the Yu Kingdom was about to change.

Queen Mother Qiang naturally also heard about this matter.

She lay weakly on the couch, sighing long and short.

Ever since uncle Qiang Ping was killed by Fu Sheng, a rift had developed between Empress Dowager Qiang and Fu Sheng's mother and son. Empress Dowager Qiang became ill with grief and anger and did not want to see Fu Sheng again.

But after all, he is his biological son. Now that he has learned that Fu Jian's palace has changed and Fu Sheng has been captured, Queen Mother Qiang certainly knows that Fu's life is not long, and she still can't help but feel sad for him.

The sound of the rustling of armor leaves as the soldiers walked became louder and louder, and the footsteps got closer and closer.

Fu Jian shouted outside the door:
"Fu Jian, the King of East China Sea and General Longxiang, would like to see the Queen Mother!"

Queen Mother Qiang knew that Fu Jian was here to ask for Yi's orders. Even if she avoided seeing him, could she keep Fu Sheng's throne?
There is still such a thing as a false edict in this world.

As a mother, she not only gave birth to a son from Fu Sheng, Fu Sheng did many evil things and she could not save him, but no matter what, she had to leave other bloodlines for the late emperor.

Fu Jian had twelve sons in total, and in addition to Fu Chang and Fu Sheng, Empress Dowager Qiang also had Fu Jian's eighth son, Prince Jin Fu Liu, who was Empress Dowager Qiang's biological son. Therefore, Empress Dowager Qiang could not offend Fu for giving birth to an evil son who was destined to die. Fu Jian.

Sure enough, Queen Mother Qiang, who looked sick, called out:
"It's Jian Tou, come in."

Fu Jian stepped in. In order to avoid suspicion, he also brought Wang Zuo, Xin Lao and others with him.

"I will pay homage to the Queen Mother."

Everyone saluted in unison.
