Wanli 1592

Chapter 728

Seeing Yu Jideng and Shen Li being bullied back by Shen Yiguan one after another, Xu Zuo and Wen Chun couldn't help but shake their heads repeatedly.

It's really shameful that with this kind of talking skills, he can still be a cabinet minister and minister of rites.

This kind of skill, in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, you can't survive three days and you will be stunned to death. The mad dogs in the Metropolitan Procuratorate practice hard every day, but they stand on the moral high ground and scold them for basic skills. It takes years of hard work. , directly achieve the undefeated golden body.

Just these mad dogs, put them in the vegetable market outside, can make those small traders foam at the mouth.

As the strongest talking gun group, talking skills are the basic skills!
Xu Zuo and Wen Chun, as the leaders of the mad dogs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, are naturally the best choice for talking skills, not to mention there are thirty elite talking guns behind them, who can exhaust Shen Yiguan to death in turn.

Don't forgive people for reason, and disturb people for no reason. Sometimes, other normal officials really can't tell the difference between these censors and street shrews.

Probably one wears official uniform and the other wears commoner clothes!
Xu Zuo made his debut first.

"Cifu, I heard that His Majesty asked the cabinet to agree to ennoble Xiao Zhennan as Duke of Qin, and if you agreed, the cabinet also agreed, right?"

Shen Yiguan looked up at Xu Zuo, then nodded.

"Yes."

Xu Zuo was a little surprised, and then asked: "You just agreed? You agreed to this unreasonable and excessive request? As the second assistant in charge of cabinet affairs, you just agreed?"

"Yes."

Shen always gave a two-word answer.

Xu Zuo was even more surprised, he looked at Wen Chun in surprise, Wen Chun obviously didn't expect Shen Yiyi to be so bachelor, and the prepared speech suddenly became useless.

Xu Zuo's on-the-spot reaction ability is still good.

"As the second assistant, you can completely reject this kind of unreasonable purpose, why don't you reject it?"

Shen always looked confused.

"Why do you want to reject it? What is unreasonable? I don't understand."

"you……"

Xu Zuo looked at Shen Yiguan's confused face, opened his mouth, and couldn't speak for a while. Wen Chun saw that it was not good, and immediately stepped forward to take over the conversation: "Cifu, what do you mean? , is this edict justified?"

Shen Yiguan frowned and thought for a while.

"Is not it?"

"what?"

Wen Chun looked at Shen Yiguan in surprise: "Xiao Zhennan has made great contributions, and it doesn't matter if he is named Duke, but how can he be given the title of Qin? Qin is the title of Emperor Taizong of Tang! Since Emperor Taizong of Tang, all dynasties, except Mongolia Yuan, never gave the title of Qin to people with a foreign surname!"

Shen Guan always looked even more surprised.

"Really? Why doesn't the old man know?"

Wen Chun and Xu Zuo began to suspect that Shen Wanyi was playing dumb.

"Cisuke, are you pretending to be stupid on purpose? No one in the court knows about this matter?!"

Wen Chun asked loudly.

"This... this old man really doesn't know! This... is it written in the Great Ming Law?"

Shen always looked very eager.

Wen Chun and Xu Zuo looked at each other, Shen Li and Yu Jideng looked at each other.

this……

"The law of the Ming Dynasty is the law, how can you write such a thing?"

Xu Zuo said angrily.

"Then... Yu Butang, does the court have an express rule that the title of Qin is not allowed to be given to heroes with foreign surnames?"

Shen Yiguan asked again.

Yu Jideng blinked his eyes, looked at the strange gaze cast by the other three people, and felt a little flustered in his heart. After coughing a few times, he shook his head: "This kind of thing is a convention, how can there be a clear regulation? People think that way, so they just do it, so why express regulations?"

Shen Yiguan nodded, "Oh".

"This is not good. There are not many people in the world who understand the truth. Ordinary people are always prone to make mistakes. If you don't explain it clearly and make clear regulations, they dare to take advantage of the loopholes. This loophole, it will make you speechless." It can be said that there is no way to follow, what should I do? Yu Butang, what do you think?"

Yu Jideng felt that what Shen Yiguan said made sense, but he was speechless.

"It's true... This... Does this have anything to do with this matter?! Let's discuss the matter! It's about Xiao Zhen Nanjin being the Duke of Qin! What does it have to do with laws and etiquette?!"

Yu Jideng suddenly realized that he was trapped in the pit, and the other three were looking at him with very unfriendly eyes.

"How can it be irrelevant? If Daming didn't expressly stipulate, how can we oppose His Majesty? Is it the so-called convention? There is no black and white, and His Majesty will not recognize it! What should I do?"

Xu Zuo suddenly felt angry: "Cifu, don't talk about him! If you don't agree with this matter, it will definitely not pass. It is you who agree with it, and this matter can be passed! You are flattering! Welcome meaning!"

Xu Zuo couldn't find a suitable entry point, so he had to force his entry, and put Shen Yiguan on the line.

"Yes! Flattery! I welcome you! Jisuke! How can you do such a thing?!"

Yu Jideng said quickly.

Shen always looked shocked.

"Hey! Ladies and gentlemen, don't dare to talk nonsense! Old man... Isn't this old man really helpless? There is no law as a basis for this. What reason does this old man use to oppose His Majesty? Xiao Zhennan's contribution is indeed great. , he was indeed born in Qin.

Yan'an Guard has been the land of Qin since ancient times. His Majesty named Xiao Zhennan as Qin on the grounds that Xiao Zhennan was born in Qin. How can it be called flattery when a courtier obeys orders? "

Xu Zuo opened his mouth, but said nothing.

Do you want him to say in public that the emperor's orders are bullshit, and our orders are the truth?

It is wrong for him to criticize the emperor from the moral point of view, and then use the moral view of integrity to prove that Shen Yiguan is a person without integrity, so as to defeat Shen Yiguan ideologically. To achieve this goal, he must first prove that the emperor The edict is unreasonable and wrong.

Is that really wrong?

Obviously, this answer is very ambiguous, even in between. There are many opinions about whether it is wrong. It is very inappropriate to beat him to death with a stick. Yes, but the duke can.

It is reasonable to say that it is not too much to be named a duke for such a great contribution, so the core of the problem is whether the title of "Qin" has been overstepped.

King Qin is of course impossible. To foreign courtiers, that is quite overbearing. It is hard to say whether Qin Guogong is overbearing. If you insist on saying that Qin is the title of emperor, how should you explain it to the king of Qin who has already been titled by Ming Dynasty? ?

King Qin would feel that the courtiers were targeting him.

Because the problem is not with the Duke or the king, but with "Qin".

"Qin is the title of emperor, how can it be granted to a courtier with a foreign surname?"

After all, Xu Zuo has only one reason, and the same is true for others.
