Rebirth of Xu Fanghua

Chapter 419 The Battle of Loyalty and Treachery, the World's Warning

"Are you quarreling?"

Under the corridor, the beautiful scenery looked at the autumn moon with some astonishment and looked at Jiang's face.

Today, Lv Jian and his wife came to visit the royal palace. Originally, they thanked Yu Yu for his help in person. They talked in the outer court, and Yijing took Jiang to sit in the atrium. The two talked just right, but Qiu Yue reported such a thing.

"The son and Lord Lu were tasting tea and chatting in the Meiting in the outer court. The maidservant was ordered to present melon and fruit tea. At that time, I saw that the two talked happily. Unexpectedly, before the maidservant walked to the atrium, I heard Lord Lu's words excited and even hit the case... The power was very scary. The maidservant was far away, and her heart beat wildly and listened to Lv Da It seems that he quarreled with the son because of an official surnamed Song. Qiu Yue did not jump off as usual in front of outsiders, respectfully and truthfully.

The meaning of this sentence should be that Lv Jian was angry first and did not know Yu's attitude.

Jiang was well aware of Lv Jian's stubborn temper. At this time, he frowned slightly and got up to apologize: "The outsider is impatient and used to chat with his good colleagues. There are many times when he broke up unhappily. It's really rude to be stubborn again today and offend the son of the world."

Yi Jing also stood up and said with a smile, "Lord Lu's temperament is straightforward, perhaps because he is a little excited because he disagrees with the son of the world. Let's take a look. If it doesn't matter, it can be reconciled from it. There is no need to worry."

Lv Jian has returned to work on the front line of his life and death this time. Because he understood the real reason for his misfortune this time, he was involved in the prince. Many secrets are not easy to disclose, but he apologized to Lv Jian, who was innocently involved in it, and promoted him to the seventh-class imperial history. Therefore, Jiang also had the order of the son.

Beautiful scenery and Jiang went along the green bamboo path and passed through the moon gate. As soon as they entered the atrium, they heard Lv Jian's high voice from the Meiting, which was built near the water. Sure enough, they were very angry: "The three princes of the Zhou family are all admonished to their ministers, iron bones and loyal, take Li people as their own responsibility, for the peace of the people, and loyal to Haoxun. Jun, who did his best, is actually an example for a hundred officials, and scholars are listed in the regular list; Song Shiyuan, a believer of Guangzong of the Eastern Ming Dynasty, because his daughter is favored by Guangzong and a noble concubine, the Song family is a public servant. His nature must be rewarded, his character is insatiable, luxurious and extravagant, and bullying the weak. He only knows how to flatter the emperor and associate with the eunuchs. What is the Xiao family in mourning emperor? "

Hearing this, Yijing looked at Jiang again. Just now, he heard Qiu Yue say that it was unclear. He thought that Yu Yu and Lv Jian had a dispute because of political differences. Unexpectedly, when he heard Lv Jian's words at this time, it was for a public case in the Guangzong period of the Eastern Ming Dynasty, which had been more than 100 years.

The pace did not stop until he came out of the corridor, crossed the Meilin, and clearly saw the two people sitting opposite him.

Lou Jian pressed his hand firmly on the tea case, his black eyebrows were as high as a bow, his eyes were round, and his face was full of anger. There was only a few pieces of tea at his feet. He thought that he was furious for a moment and splashed tea with his sleeves.

However, Yu Yu was still sitting upright, holding a teacup in his hand and looking down slightly, so he couldn't see his face. I don't know if he was annoyed.

Jiang felt more and more sorry. Seeing that Yijing stood up, he was not in a hurry to come forward, so he had to stop and hand over a wry smile - they came to thank him for their trip. Unexpectedly, Lv Jian was furious about the fact that it was difficult to break between right and wrong and was annihilated in history. Even if Song Shiyuan was a traitor and a traitor, misleading the country and the people, the three Duke of the Zhou family What does his death have to do with the son of the king of Chu? What kind of evil fire did he send to others?

"Song Shiyuan relies on his daughter's favor to rise to the throne, with no ink on his chest and his eyesight. How can he be compared with Hongru, one of the sages who is full of reading? For his own selfishness, he helped his in-laws seize the power to unify the army. Regardless of the lives of the world and the well-being of the people, he went into the Guangzong and launched a war, so that the people were heavily taxed and increased. The people of the world could not live in peace, so that the people could not live in peace, so there were disasters and bandits. Zhou Gong entered and persuaded Guangzong to respect the words of the saints with morality and etiquette, and severely punished Song Shiyuan, the first evil Song Shiyuan. Indignant, Guangzong not only did not accept good advice, but also believed in treachery and applied harsh politics and law. Duke Zhou was bold and loyal and risked his life to admonish him. Guangzong actually looked at the 70-year-old loyal minister, kneeling to death in front of the Meridian Gate in the wind and snow!"

"The son of Duke Zhou, adhering to his father's will, although he knew that Song Shiyuan had won the king's heart, he did not retreat. He wrote letters with people with insight in the dynasty one after another, admonished Guangzong to strike the war, remove the law, cultivate health, calm the people's government, and executed the traitors of Song and Zheng. Why worry about the national politics? Unexpectedly, Guangzong was single-headed and killed Zhongliang. Zhou's whole family was beheaded, and more than 700 scribes and officials were killed! The emperor was cruel and unkind, so that the king of Ning rebelled. At this, Guangzong had to calm down the war and destroy the king of Ning. Unfortunately, the three princes of the Zhou family and the loyal martyrs of the Manmen died because of the advice, but Song Shiyuan was safe and sound. His in-law Zheng was also awarded the title of king of different surnames because of his war achievements. For a time, he left his name in the history of the country, which was really ridiculous! Guangzong's affairs are not divided, but the scholars of the world still have eyes and attack Song and Zhengkou for the three fair names of the Zhou family. Unexpectedly, the prince did not distinguish between loyalty and treachery. They thought that Song Shiyuan's scolding name was innocent. On the contrary, the loyal men of the Zhou family were treacherous villains and took the blame for themselves.

After Lv Jian's angry words, he did not reduce his anger, and his eyes looking at Yu Yu were full of heartache.

Yi Jing's heart sank. With her understanding of Yu Yu, she would not argue with Lv Jian about this difficult historical matter of right and wrong for no reason. She read the biography of the Five Emperors of the Eastern Ming Dynasty, and Guangzong was listed among them. When he was in power, she fought against the Northern Yuan barbarians. As a result, the political situation in the country was turbulent. The literary and martial arts ministers were like water and fire, and the period of history was endless. There is also some understanding. Although it is difficult to tell whether the merits are right or wrong, Yu Yu discussed this matter with Lv Jian at this time and said that the name of the three righteous men Zhou's family, which was chased by the scholars was not true, which made Lv Jian angry and attacked her heart and must have a purpose.

Is it that the emperor also has the idea of fighting?

If so, why is there no warning? No, at this time, the emperor was thinking about implementing the new policy, reforming the official system, and resuming the imperial examination, and the Beiyuan Zhaokang family retreated early outside the Yinshan. Although the Western royal family, which was divided, was based on the power of the Kang family, was blocked by Xiliang and other countries, which would not cause harm to the land of Dalong. At this time, there was no reason for the emperor to fight outside the country for no reason.

Bingjing was righteous and doubtful. He finally heard Yu Yu's speech, and his voice was gentle and low, but because they were close at this time, the words were also clear.

"Pring tea for Lord Lu first." But he told the maidservant of the tea room.

Just now, Lv Jian was impassioned and felt dry and irritable. Jiong still looked at Yu Yu with angry eyes. He only used his left hand to fish up the case and empty it. Then he realized that when he was angry just now, he had fallen off the tea cup. At this time, he listened to Yu Yu's words, hummed heavily, took the tea and drank it all in one gulp.

"Zhou Gong is the father of Guangzong. When Guangzong ascends to the throne, he and Taifu are the pillars of the country." Yu Yu looked back at Lv Jian's angry eyes, and his eyebrows were peaceful: "At that time, his deceased officials had spread all over Dongming Prefecture, and there were many important positions in the six imperial palaces."

"So what? Zhou Gongde is highly valued and his voice is outstanding." Lv Jian refused to accept: "Zhou Gong is not a rebellious person. He has never shielded his friends and bullied the people. He is a good minister."

"Is that true?" Yu Yu raised his eyebrows slightly: "At that time, Guangzong wanted to implement the system of moving officials. In fact, Du Fanguan Lao had the power to control one side, deceived the superiors and the subordinates, and the good government of collusion with corruption and bribery, but was refuted by Zhou Gong, so that those who followed Zhou Gong in the court were scolded, and there was another one... Perhaps the loyal minister that Lord Lu thought was furious and irritrated when discussing the main hall, he touched the pillar to death. Lured Guangzong's anger and wanted to pursue his disrespectful crime, Zhou Gong actually pointed to Guangzong's angrily, saying that Guangzong took the liberty to reform was to be unfaithful to the former emperors. Jin Rongzhong could only sigh.

Lv Jian:......

It took half a sound to argue, but his voice lowered eight degrees: "Zhou Gong is an admonition minister, and also out of loyalty... Isn't it not conducive to the governance of the state government that local officials are familiar with the government of a province and move officials for no reason?"

"The good or bad of the political order can't be based on the words of one person. Is it true that what Zhou Gong sees must be true? Once others have different opinions, it is a traitor? Guangzong's order hurts the interests of local officials, and this group of people is the first to look forward to Zhou Gongma. He may not refute the king's order because of the benefits of his friends. In the name of the former emperor, he relies on the power to assist the government and does not respect the emperor, but he is loyal to the loyalty of the ministers? Yu Yu shook his head: "Lord Lu just claimed that Song Shiyuan had no ink in his chest and could not be compared with Zhou Gong. He said that in the matter of the battle in Beiyuan, Zhou Gong quoted the saint's words 'solders, murder weapons'. In order to persuade Guangzong to rejuvenate the country with morality and teach the people, and not to do dangerous things, it was also good."

After a slight pause, Yu Yu said again, "The use of troops is indeed a dangerous thing, but at that time, the people of the Northern Plains repeatedly committed the border, ambitious, and attacked the border city. They actually slaughtered the evil of the city, burned, killed and looted tens of thousands of people's families, and died tragically under the slaughter knife. I think Song Shiyuan had a saying when arguing with Zhou Gong. Good question, Wenchen of the Manchu Dynasty, who is sure to teach the barbarians in the North Plains, persuade Zhaokang to plead guilty, and wait to be poked?

Lv Jian:......

"If Guangzong is not strong, how can the power of Dongming exist? The people of Beiyuan are not ashamed to laugh at the incompetence of the princes and ministers of the Central Plains, and their iron riders will still be safe outside the customs? Yu Tuozhan took a shallow sip of tea: "Zhou Gong is full of reading sages and loves the people diligently. Why did he turn a blind eye to tens of thousands of innocent people under the slaughter knife of barbarians?"

"If the Duke of Zhou sees it, it is not wrong for Emperor Ai to turn a blind eye to the capture and naturalization of the Zhaokang family in Beiyuan, invade the Central Plains, and seize Shuozhou to claim the emperor at that time." Yu Yu smiled gently.

Seeing that the anger on Lv Jian's face gradually solidified and turned to meditation, Yu Yu said again, "Why did Zhou Gong oppose the battle of Guangzong? It's because he ruled out dissidents! Zhou Gong's power was so powerful that he dared to denounce Guangzong in front of the ministers in the palace. How could he not make Guangzong angry with such a disrespectful act? Guangzong wanted to cultivate his cronies and suppress Zhou Gong, but most of the literary ministers followed him. Guangzong had to rely on noble generals. Song Shiyuan came out accordingly. In my opinion, it was not so much that he was favored by his daughter. Mo Ruo said that Guangzong made his daughter the noble concubine in order to reuse him.

"But Song Shiyuan is indeed a villain who must be rewarded!" Lv Jian is still unconvinced.

"This is also the public opinion created by scholars. I just want to say a small matter. In those years, there was a poor student among Zhou Gong's students who was helped by Zhou Gong and was appointed as the governor of Ganzhou. Because Zhou Gong's birthday and did not have time to present his birthday gifts, he was disgusted, but because he took a prostitute as a concubine. , he was impeached and lost his official position, and was killed by a heavy cane. This magistrate has been an official for many years, incorrupt and loves the people, but because of a moment of negligence, he suffered such thunderous revenge. Isn't Zhou Gong really tolerant and loves the people like a son?

Lou Jian has also heard of this matter, but affected by the comments earlier, he also respected Zhou Gong's great righteousness, put etiquette and education first, and did not indulge.

But at this time, think about it... Did Zhou Gong really not give a gift because of revenge?

"With the state-owned war, it is inevitable to increase taxes. Guangzong's heavy tax order was originally aimed at the rich land. Why did the people not live? * There were four times, and the bandits were rampant? Lord Lu thought that most of the local officials were Zhou Gong's students. Is there anything strange about this? Zhou Gong took advantage of people's livelihood and dissidents to put pressure on Guangzong and kill Song Zheng. At that time, General Zheng was fighting with Beiyuan and occupied a complete victory. If Guangzong really succumbed to Wenchen, it would be cruel to Zhongliang. I'm afraid that when Beiyuan people heard about it, they would praise Zhou Gong's 'loyalty'. Yu Yu is not without sarcasm.

"The 70-year-old man, who is still as strong as fire, kneels at the door with the wind and snow, nothing more than to show his 'Geng Geng' loyalty and iron bones to the world, and strive for the pressure of the people and the theory to put on you. As a result, he was cured by the wind and cold. If only this, Zhou Gong also got a good end. After all, Guangzong still had a generous heart and never He was investigated for the serious crime of private abolition and disrespect, but the second son of Duke Zhou had no self-aknowledge and wrote a letter with the minister, and finally let King Ning take the opportunity of the national political chaos and plot against him. Yu Yu sighed: "Guangzong originally had a chance to hit the Beiyuan. Unfortunately, because of his kindness, he thought that Duke Zhou was a trusted minister of the king's father. He was too forbearing and finally caused civil strife. He had to be transferred back to General Zheng to calm down the chaos and gave Beiyuan a chance to recuperate his health. However, those scribes advocated it and achieved the name of the three Dukes of Zhou's bold loyalty, so that After Guangzong, the successive monarchs of the Eastern Ming Dynasty were easily afraid to move troops and defended themselves, which made the North Plain raise troops and enrich the country. Finally, there was a mourning emperor and invaded the Central Plains, and almost took over the beautiful rivers and mountains of the Central Plains.

At this time, Lv Jian was not angry at all, and her temples were soaked with cold sweat.

"The three Dukes of the Zhou family are not loyal ministers, but have laid hidden dangers for the destruction of the country in the Eastern Ming Dynasty." Yu Yu's final summary.

He straightened his look and said to Lv Jian, "I know that Lord Lu is not like Zhou Gong. He is indeed loyal and upright, but he should also be cautious. Don't be used by those who have the heart of Zhou Gong. He is reckless and disrespectful. When a great crime is added, he still thinks that he is innocent."

These words stunned Jiang and couldn't help calling "Your Excellency".

Only then did the two people in Meiting find that "there are ears in the pavilion". They looked over together. Lv Jian seemed to be ashamed, but Yu Yu smiled at Yijing.
