Rule the Ming Dynasty Alone

this……

When Xie Qian heard Zhu Youtang's words, he finally knew why Zhang Sheng wanted to find him.

Wang Yue's charge of "writing poetry with resentment" undoubtedly involves a word game, and since he is the most proficient in poetry, he can indeed provide some reference opinions.

It’s just... this pool of water is very deep!

Wang Yue, the traitor of the civil servant clique, the man that all the important officials in the court wanted to kill!

"Master Xie, I wonder what you think about this matter?" Zhang Sheng was not in a hurry to express his position, but turned to look at Xie Qian and said.

Xie Qian couldn't help but feel a burst of pain in his heart, but he knew that it was time to make a choice. If he failed to provide help, he would no longer have a place here.

Zhu Youtang held the lid of the tea and poured the hot tea lightly. He knew that Xie Qian was a talented person, but it was up to him to see if he could be used for his own purposes.

In fact, the officials who can pass the imperial examination and become official are not just ordinary people, and you only need to find the most loyal and reliable people, and you don't need to place too much emphasis on ability.

"Your Majesty, I'll be honest, Wang Yue's poems are indeed filled with resentment, and it's difficult to clear his name!" Xie Qian hesitated for a moment, but said very seriously.

Zhu Youtang couldn't help but frown slightly, looking at the tea stems floating on the tea. This was not the answer he wanted, nor was he the minister he needed.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember Liu Yuxi, a poet from the Tang Dynasty whom I mentioned to you?" Xie Qian felt Zhu Youtang's indifference, but asked another question.

Zhang Sheng looked at Xie Qian with complicated eyes. This guy was so perfunctory. Could it be that he was too naive to think that his old relationship in the East Palace could be reused?

Zhu Youtang knew that Xie Qian really liked to bring some private goods to class, so he calmly prepared for the tea ceremony: "In the old days, Wang Xietang Qianyan flew into ordinary people's homes. Liu Yuxi's poems are indeed good!"

"Your Majesty, Wang Yue is not the only official who has been convicted for poetry. Liu Yuxi's experience was actually more twists and turns, and even more unfair!" Xie Qian was naturally not playing the emotional card, and seemed to be painstakingly authentic.

Zhang Sheng suddenly became interested, and Zhu Youtang stopped drinking tea and said: "Thank you, Master, I am willing to give you more details!"

"Your Majesty, 'When the red dust of purple road blows in the face, no one can help but look at the flowers returning; the thousands of peach trees in Xuandu Temple were all planted after Liu Lang left.' This poem was written by Liu Yuxi when he visited Xuandu Temple in Chang'an. Disrespectful?" Xie Qian asked.

Zhu Youtang exchanged glances with Zhang Sheng, then shook his head seriously and said: "No disrespect!"

"The hundred-acre courtyard is half covered with moss, and all the peach blossoms are gone. The cauliflowers are blooming. Where do the Taoist priests who grow peach go? Liu Lang who visited me is here again! Is this poem disrespectful?" Xie Qian asked again.

Zhang Sheng was impatient, so he immediately complained: "Master Xie, these two poems were written for fun in the garden. Why are you talking about these two poems?"

Zhu Youtang knew that Xie Qian could not throw out these two poems for no reason, but no matter how he looked at them, these two poems had nothing to do with disrespect.

"Liu Yuxi studied in Luoyang and Chang'an at the age of nineteen, and gained a high reputation among the scholars. In the ninth year of Zhenyuan, he was able to enter the official career. In the twenty-first year of Zhenyuan, he served as a member of the army and became a core figure of the reform group. However, he never The Zhen Revolution failed, and eight people including Liu Yuxi were demoted to Yuanzhou Sima. Ten years later, Liu Yuxi was recalled to Beijing, but he was hated by Wu Yuanheng and others. The first poem was written at this time, and the poem "Xuandu Guanli Tao" "Thousands of trees were all planted after Liu Lang left." Because peach blossoms have the meaning of flattering and flattering villains, Liu Yixi believed that Liu Yixi was insinuating that the newly appointed courtiers were all flattering and flattering villains, so they were demoted to local officials. !" Xie Qian said eloquently.

Zhu Youtang's mouth opened slightly. He was really knowledgeable everywhere. This interpretation was also... too amazing, wasn't it?

Zhang Sheng swallowed, but asked curiously: "The second poem has no peach blossoms, so how can it be related to disrespect?"

"Liu Yuxi returned to Chang'an after being demoted for fourteen years. It was already March of the second year of Emperor Wenzong's reign in the Tang Dynasty. He revisited Xuandu Temple and wrote his second poem "Revisiting Xuandu Temple": The hundred-acre courtyard was half covered with moss. The peach blossoms are gone and the cauliflower is blooming. Where will the peach-growing Taoist go? Liu Lang, who was here before, is here again! Your Majesty, if you compare Xuandu Temple to a court, Your Majesty would think that half of the hundred-acre courtyard is covered with moss. Is this a respectable poem? " Xie Qian His eyes fell on Zhu Youtang and he asked bitterly.

The corner of Zhu Youtang's mouth twitched slightly, and he had to smile bitterly: "If it is interpreted this way, Liu Yuxi is indeed very disrespectful!"

"Wang Yue's two most sinful poems are "Crossing the Red Stone Mountain": Winter has come and the righteousness is strong, and the horses are riding high on the Red Stone Mountain; the wind blows tears from the eyes, and the frost on the beard freezes into ice. Ping Hu is more than just like catching a tiger. , there is no need to use generals like raising eagles; I remember that when I passed here last year, my iron clothes were sweating and bitter. "Ci Yun replied to Ma Dali Tianlu": After many times in the battlefield of robbing prisoners, looking back, the little work is always in vain. I am always ashamed of the wise man when I am happy with water. Who wouldn't laugh at the foolish old man who can move mountains? When he is free, he likes to drink three-point wine, but when he is old, he is ashamed to talk about two stone bows. There is no way to repay the holy grace, so how dare Ge Yi complain about Qifeng. The inappropriate part of the first poem is the use of " Why should I raise an eagle? This is disrespectful to the late emperor; the second song is even more disrespectful, and the resentment is more straightforward!" Xie Qian returned to the topic.

Zhang Sheng couldn't help but sigh sadly. Liu Yuxi's two garden poems were demoted by the court at that time. Wang Yue's conviction seemed to be unjust.

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, the real reason for Wang Yue's conviction was not these two poems!" Xie Qian had already made up his mind and revealed it immediately.

Zhu Youtang couldn't help but be stunned, and said in confusion: "I wonder which song it is?"

"The poem that really angered the late emperor was "Nostalgia for the Ancients on Mount Li": The lonely Mount Li locked the sunset, and I couldn't help but shed tears on my clothes. King You entertained his concubines with beacon fire, and Emperor Tang bathed his noble concubine in hot springs. The fragrant grass hated the empty space and grew old, and the flowers fell. I am speechless for whom to fly. When spring comes, there are many birds singing in Xiuling, as if telling passers-by right and wrong," said Xie Qian.

When Zhang Sheng heard this poem, he seemed enlightened and said: "This poem quotes King You of Zhou and Bao Si, Tang Xuanzong and Concubine Yang Guifei, so it is a metaphor for Emperor Chenghua and Concubine Wan Guifei, but is this true?"

"Yes, it was precisely because this poem used the past to satirize the present that offended the late emperor, and because others fanned the flames at the time, the late emperor banished Wang Yue to Anlu in anger!" Xie Qian restored the truth of that year.

Zhu Youtang took a sip of tea silently and found that these scholars were really good at playing word games.

Zhang Sheng nodded thoughtfully, but still frowned and said: "Although we know the truth about Wang Yue's crime back then, this poem is too far-fetched. The Ministry of Punishment will definitely not agree to exempt Wang Yue from the crime!"

"If you really want to find fault with any poem, you can always find some faults! Wang Yue's poems are too full of resentment, so the faults in his poems are more prominent, and this sin is even more difficult to get rid of! If you want to solve this problem, I'm afraid Only..." Xie Qian stopped and looked at Zhu Youtang thoughtfully, but he hesitated to say all some words.

Zhu Youtang's heart moved slightly, but he put down the tea cup in his hand and said: "Master Xie, you mean to completely muddy the water, right? I immediately ordered Beizhen Fusi to collect the poems of all officials in the court, and you will help They are all looking for faults, and Du Ming, the Minister of Punishment, will take care of them!"

"Ah?" Zhang Sheng opened his mouth belatedly when he heard that Zhu Youtang had already started to solve the problem.

Xie Qian realized that he had really underestimated Zhu Youtang's wisdom earlier. He had already understood the mystery of it without even needing his own advice. He immediately raised his hands respectfully and said: "I accept the decree!"

"That's settled the matter. You should step back first!" Zhu Youtang said with a sigh of relief when he saw that the matter had been solved.

The reason why the matter reached this stage and Wang Yue was bitten by the Ministry of Punishment was essentially related to his own haste.

The civil servant group and Wang Yue may not really be fighting to the death, but when they learned that they were going to appoint Wang Yue as Prime Minister, they insisted on Wang Yue's crime and were only willing to let Wang Yue pardon rather than expunge the crime.

If I had calmly helped Wang Yue get rid of his crimes beforehand, and then appointed Wang Yue as Prime Minister, there would not have been such a big resistance in the first step, and the second step would have been a matter of course.

It's just that things are the way they are, and it's impossible to tear them down and start over. After all, we underestimate the fighting wisdom of the civil service group.

learn from mistakes.

Even if they come from later generations, their IQ and vision are inherently suppressed, but they still have to plan everything before they act, and at the same time, they must step up their efforts to recruit more resourceful people for their use.

In the afternoon, Erya walked in worriedly and said: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager asked you to go to Qingning Palace. I heard that Marquis Qingyun is there!"
