The most beloved princess in the prosperous world
Chapter 103 Death Remonstrance
Chapter 103 Death Remonstrance
The New Year has just passed, and a white silk has already been hung in front of the door of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.
Mrs. Ruan died of illness. Although the news was sudden, everything seemed to be taken for granted.
Ruan Yan is not in good health and is still ill, so she only appeared for an hour during the three-day vigil and then stopped showing up. This task was naturally left to Ruan Shu and Ruan Fu.
Ruan Shu behaved very peacefully and was also very sad. When Ruan Fu first came back, she had considered that if the old lady Ruan passed away, she would let Ruan Fu come to guard the spirit, but when it really came to this time, she would rather Among the three daughters of the Ruan family, the one with the saddest expression.
Before she was alive, old lady Ruan actually loved her very much.
Ruan Fu was dressed in sackcloth, and there was neither any sad nor happy expression on his face. Five or six years ago, Ruan Fu might have had a lot of dissatisfaction with Mrs. Ruan, even after she knew about those things. After the incident, she didn't like the old lady, but at this moment, when people died like a lamp went out, she looked at the coffin, but her heart was very peaceful.
However, even so, Ruan Fu still had some weird feelings in his heart.
When the old lady Ruan passed away, Ruan Song was still in court. It was the people in the mansion who specially sent someone to the gate of the palace to wait for him to go down and then told him the news. Ruan Fu remembered very clearly that when Ruan Song came back that day, , Seeing the old lady Ruan who had been sleeping on the bed forever, there was no emotion on her face that could be called sadness or emotion because of her mother's death.
It felt like that person who had passed away was not his own mother.
At that time, Ruan Fu didn't realize this problem, but now, looking at the figure of Ruan Song kneeling in front of the coffin with his back to him, the memory of that day is very clear.
She lowered her eyes and recalled everything between Ruan Song and Mrs. Ruan after she returned to Ruan Mansion. Mrs. Ruan valued Ruan Fu's future, but there was more between Ruan Song and Mrs. Ruan. What is meant is a responsibility of support, not the affection between mother and child.
The mourning hall was quiet, with a smell of burning paper money permeating the air, only the occasional crackling sound caused by the burning candle, Ruan Fu turned his gaze to the mourning hall, no longer thinking about it.
During this period, because of the engagement with Ruan Yan, the King of Chu also personally came to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion to offer incense to the old lady Ruan. Although he knew that Ruan Yan was sick at that time, the King of Chu did not visit Ruan Yan's courtyard. He just left after burning a stick of incense.
Three days later, Mrs. Ruan was buried.
That day, Ruan Yan was present, and she looked much better, but when she looked at Ruan Fu, she had more meaning.
However, this year is not destined to be a smooth year. Since the 15th anniversary of the first lunar month and the death of Mrs. Ruan, it seems that the following days will not be smooth.
On the twentieth day of the first lunar month, Wen Liangzhe, a university scholar who had cultivated in the mansion for more than half a month, finally got better. The first thing he did when he got better was to unite with many civil servants and Confucian scholars under the imperial court to form Jiang Taiwei, Yu The three forces headed by Mr. Luo of Shitai, Wen Liangzhe of the university and their disciples put pressure on Emperor Yuanchang, and the purpose of the pressure was only one, that is, to prohibit Ruan Fu from entering the court as an official.
However, Ruan Fu did not participate in the early dynasty, so he was completely unaware of what happened in the palace hall.
Looking at the three parties kneeling in the hall, Emperor Yuanchang's face was a little gloomy, "Ai Qing, what's the matter?"
Wen Liangzhe had already recovered during the Chinese New Year, "Your Majesty, the Central Plains is orthodox and has always abided by the etiquette system. Ruan Fu has been away for five years and has never kept a filial piety in front of his grandmother. Now that his grandmother has passed away, according to the etiquette system, Ruan Phuc should resign. After going back to my hometown to be my grandmother Ding You for three years, I was not allowed to be an official in the court."
After all, I still don’t want that Ruan Fu to enter the court. As soon as Wen Liangzhe’s words came out, there were bursts of discussions in the hall again, and Ruan Song’s face was also very ugly. If Wen Liangzhe said this, if even Ruan Fu Fu will have to keep filial piety for his grandmother for three years, and he will not be able to enter the court. Then, as a son, he will naturally have to leave the court for three years, but at this time, can he leave the court?
At this moment, he couldn't help but stand on Ruan Fu's side.
Ruan Song narrowed his eyes, and exchanged a glance with Yu Wuyang, but he didn't stand up and say anything.
It was Yu Wuyang who spoke, "Master Wen, is this a big deal?"
Wen Liangzhe turned his head, and took a serious look at Yu Wuyang, "His Royal Highness Su Wang's words are wrong, all goodness and filial piety are the first, and as a child, you should take this as the most important thing."
"According to Mr. Wen, if Ruan Tongzhi returns to his hometown to keep his mother's filial piety, he will not be allowed to enter the court. Whether, the right minister should also do the same. Otherwise, it seems that it is not right to only target Miss Ruan."
Wen Liangzhe frowned, "It should be so, if Ruan Fu left the court, the Prime Minister would have no reason not to leave the court."
The corners of Yu Wufan's lips twitched, "The right minister is the right minister in the court today, and his position is extraordinary. If there is no right minister, I am afraid that many things will not be easy to carry out. Although Ding You is a ritual system, the so-called Jupi The ceremony, the head lining is wounded, ice, the body is cured when sick, and the disease is drunk and eaten meat, the guilt is stopped and the first is restored, the family dress is from the state affairs, and the filial son can come out to serve the country."
There was a small silence in the hall, and then someone finally reacted, and Yu Wuyang continued to speak, "Father, what Elder Wen said is very reasonable, but at this moment and at that moment, the prime minister is in the court. The status is very high. Throughout the history, there are countless phenomena of seizing love when Ding You, the most important minister in the court, believes that this is the time when spring plowing is about to begin. At that time, the prime minister, as the head of all officials, must never leave the court."
Emperor Yuanchang's serious and dark face seemed to slow down, "Yes." Then he turned his gaze to Wen Liangzhe, and Wen Liangzhe said, "The prime minister may be tempted to win over important affairs in the court, but Miss Ruan is cannot."
Yu Wuyang also seemed to understand the righteousness, and did not continue to refute Wen Liangzhe's words, Yu Wufan smiled, "Master Wen's words are wrong, Miss Ruan is now the co-confessor of the imperial study, when the court is busy, The affairs of the imperial study will only get busier, or does Master Wen think that the ministers should not share the worries of the father?"
Wen Liangzhe had already seen Yu Wufan's words, at this time, he would not be easily angry, "His Royal Highness Ji Wang misunderstood, the old minister definitely did not mean that."
Yu Wuyan also said, "Sixth brother, Mr. Wen is a famous minister and Confucian scholar in the court, and he highly respects the etiquette. This is also out of the observance of the etiquette system. How can the sixth brother refute Mr. Wen so much?" people's words.
In Yu Wufan's temperament, he is actually a lazy person, so he said with a smile, "Master Wen, today's purpose is still the same as that of the day. It is not so much to let Miss Ruan go back to her hometown to be a filial piety for her grandmother. He said that he was looking for a way to prevent Miss Ruan from entering the court, Mr. Wen, this king is right."
Wen Liangzhe didn't hide his original intention. When he brought up this topic from the very beginning, that was what he had in mind.
"That's right, that's exactly what the old minister meant. Ruan Fu is absolutely not allowed to be an official in the court."
A smile rose from the corner of Yu Wufan's lips, and he glanced at Yu Wujue who had been silent since the sound of opposition to Ruan Fu's entry into the court sounded in the main hall, and calmly continued to be his Highness Prince Ji.
Wen Liangzhe's words fell into flames, and Lord Yushi Tailuo, who was kneeling beside him, also said, "Your Majesty, I want to impeach Yushufang Tongzhi."
Emperor Yuanchang came interested, "Oh, why does Luo Aiqing want to impeach Yushufang?"
"The minister impeached Ruan Fu, the co-confessor of the imperial study, and beheaded his dissidents. His methods were ruthless, and there was no such thing as a courtier."
Jiang Taiwei also said at this time, "Your Majesty, I also impeach Ruan Fu."
"Why are you?"
"With the help of the power bestowed by His Majesty, Ruan Fu made waves in the court of Zi'an to eliminate dissidents and destroy the court plan."
"Eliminate dissidents?" Emperor Yuanchang murmured these four words playfully, his eyes glanced at Yu Wujue, but he looked at the courtiers in the hall, "My dear friends, do you have a relationship with me?" Luo Aiqing and Jiang Aiqing have the same views?"
As soon as this question came out, several people stood up one after another and knelt in the hall together, "Your Majesty, please withdraw your order and remove Ruan Fuyu from the post of co-prefect of the study, and never hire him."
Emperor Yuanchang smiled, looked at the courtiers kneeling on the ground in the hall with a slight smile, and after a long silence with unknown emotions, "Right Prime Minister, Ruan Fu, you are the daughter of my daughter, what do you have in mind for such impeachment by the love ministers?" idea?"
Ruan Song stood up without any hesitation, "My daughter is smart, it is due to experience, but I think that she is always young and vigorous, and lacks experience. The court has never held an important position at such a young age. It doesn't matter if the old minister's selfishness is good, if he doesn't want his daughter to be criticized by the courtiers, or because of his selfish love for his daughter, I implore Your Majesty to think twice."
"So that's it. It seems that all the lovers don't want Ruan Fu to be an official in the court. My decision is so outrageous." Emperor Yuanchang sighed, and there was even a hint of a smile in his tone.
This sentence made everyone angry, and some people were a little shaken, "Your Majesty, forgive me."
But those who should persevere are still persevering, stubbornly kneeling on the ground.
The smile on Emperor Yuanchang's face finally disappeared, and he snorted coldly.
Immediately there was a voice to support Ruan Fu, but it was General Jin Yun, "Your Majesty, I have objections."
Although Emperor Yuanchang's complexion was not good, his tone didn't seem to be much different from before, "Oh, is General Shenwu also objecting?"
Jin Yun stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have no objection. I believe that Miss Ruan is brilliant in writing and unparalleled in resourcefulness. She is a good talent for governing the country. It is my honor to be able to serve as Miss Ruan in the same court."
"Look, this is the first time I've heard Jin Yun say such a thing in so many years." Emperor Yuanchang pointed to Jin Yun, and there was no meaning in his tone.
There was Jin Yun at the beginning, and then different people came out to support Ruan Fu.
Naturally, there are also many people who remain neutral.
In this way, the hall was divided into several factions, some supported and others opposed.
But no matter what the situation is, today's release will definitely cause a huge discussion.
Wen Liangzhe continued, "Your Majesty, the veteran believes that this person, no matter whether it is Ruan Fu or Meng Changqing, no matter how talented he is, is not a person of great use."
Luo Yushi also said, "Master Wen's words are the aspirations of scholars all over the world. I hope His Majesty will give them serious consideration, so as not to hurt the hearts of people all over the world."
"Your Majesty, Ruan Fu has just entered the court, and he used extraordinary means to kill dissidents. This person will definitely cause Chaogang turmoil in the court in the future, so he must not be retained."
Wen Liangzhe almost burst into tears, "Your Majesty, Meng Changqing is not available!"
As he said that, Wen Liangzhe's head had already rested heavily on the dirt of the hall, and bloodshot eyes were already appearing on his forehead.
Seeing this, many civil servants behind him tried to persuade him, "Lord Wen!"
Emperor Yuanchang frowned, but the princes in the hall, including Yu Wulin, who was the most powerful at the time, didn't speak, because they all understood that it might be best not to speak at this time.
"This king has a question, and I want to ask Master Wen." Yu Wujue's voice recalled it in a calm manner.
It was Yu Wujue who kept silent all this time that made Wen Liangzhe the most alert. He raised his head, a little vigilant, "His Royal Highness, do you have any questions?"
"May I ask Mr. Wen, Ruan Fu, what heinous thing did you do to make you oppose it so far?"
"The old minister is dedicated to the Kingdom of Chen and has absolutely no selfishness. What he said today was never out of personal selfishness, but the Kingdom of Chen is the most important thing."
Yu Wujue nodded, "Then, Luo Yushi and Jiang Taiwei, let me ask Ruan Fu how to eliminate dissidents."
Luo Yushi and Jiang Taiwei looked at each other, "The lower officials are in charge of matters of admonishment in the court. When Ruan Fu entered the court, the lower officials thought it was unreasonable. Naturally, they wanted to play. After learning that he was impeached by the courtiers, he came to threaten him."
"So what do you mean by your lords is that Ruan Fu threatened you, causing you to hold grudges and form cliques for personal gain, and together in today's hall, put pressure on His Majesty to prevent Ruan Fu from entering the court?" Yu Wujue's gaze fell on several people Swept over the body and asked.
"His Royal Highness King Jin, this is turning right and wrong into black and white." But if he admitted that he was threatened by Ruan Fu, wouldn't it be embarrassing, but if he didn't admit it, he overturned the previous remarks.
Wen Liangzhe said, "What His Royal Highness King Jin said was nothing more than to protect Ruan Fu. However, the Central Plains established a dynasty, the civil officials were upright, and their backgrounds were always clear. What's more, in the future, Chen Kingdom will have a century-old foundation to achieve today's achievements, and the veteran believes that using such a person will be detrimental to the country!"
"So, because Ruan Fu is Meng Changqing, Mr. Wen thinks it's unusable?"
"Yes, that's exactly what the old minister meant."
"Master Wen believes that Meng Changqing's entry into the court will be harmful to the Kingdom of Chen, so he strongly opposes it?"
"Yes."
"Master Wen thinks that Meng Changqing has devoted all his efforts to the Kingdom of Chen in the past, no more than you?"
Wen Liangzhe was about to continue to respond, but soon understood Yu Wujue's words, and strongly denied, "The old minister is dedicated to the Kingdom of Chen, and he thinks he deserves the words of dedication, but how could Meng Changqing ever be able to afford it?"
"Very good!" Yu Wujue smiled with pursed lips.
His words were very good with a smile, and the atmosphere in the hall seemed to have changed somewhat. Yu Wulin and the others looked at each other in blank dismay, trying to make use of Yu Wujue's words to make matters worse. emotions, but kept silent, choosing not to speak.
Wen Liangzhe pursed his lips, and said in a deep voice, "I don't know what questions Jin Wang has?"
The corners of Yu Wujue's lips curled up slightly, looking at Wen Liangzhe as if watching a joke.
"In the 20th year of the current dynasty, Jiaozhi was in chaos. Nanhua wanted to conquer Jiaozhi, together with Nanliang, Xihu and Wu, and then raised troops to go north. At that time, Master Wen, who was still buried in the pile of old papers, had any good ways to get along?"
Wen Liangzhe's face darkened, "The old minister is a bachelor of the Imperial Academy, the old minister..."
"In the 21st year of the current dynasty, the war between the three countries in the south is imminent. Nanhua sent troops here. If Meng Changqing hadn't been involved in it, might Mr. Wen go to battle to kill the enemy?"
Wen Liangzhe had difficulty breathing, "His Royal Highness, the old minister is a civil servant!"
"In the 23rd year of the current dynasty, the south was in a hurry to fight. If Meng Changqing hadn't conspired secretly, how would Mr. Wen plan to devote all his energy to defeat the enemy?"
Wen Liangzhe gasped suddenly, "Your Highness!"
"It's also the 23rd year of this dynasty. If Meng Changqing hadn't put pressure on the nobles of the Great Zhou, would Mr. Wen have been prepared to go to the Great Zhou in person to persuade the King of the Great Zhou?" Every sentence, Yu Wujue's voice seemed With some hints of a joke.
Wen Liangzhe's face turned red, "This is an important matter for the envoy!"
"In the 24th year of the current dynasty, floods occurred, and when the court was at a loss what to do, can Mr. Wen come up with any way to solve the worry of who will change?"
Wen Liangzhe wanted to open his mouth, but obviously Yu Wujue didn't intend to give him a chance to speak, a sly smile curled up on the corner of his lips, "Master Wen wants to say that this is a matter of the Ministry of Industry, not that you, an old scholar of the Imperial Academy, should What you do is, so, you are a veteran, civil servant, and Confucian scholar, but you have achieved nothing?"
These words are light, and it doesn't sound like much coercion, but it is such a disdainful feeling that people can't bear it. Wen Liangzhe can't stand it anymore. Even Wen Liangzhe's student in the court, at this moment Feeling aggrieved for his teacher, "His Royal Highness Jin Wang insulted him like this, it is really not the style of a king!"
Yu Wulin and Yu Wuyan looked at each other, and some unexpected surprises flashed in their eyes. Yu Wujue was used to going smoothly in the court, and had never been questioned like this.
On the contrary, it was Yu Wujing who had been silent all this time, looking at Yu Wujue with deep eyes.
Yu Wujue didn't seem to care about such questioning words. He didn't even take a look at anyone who spoke up. It was rare for him to talk so much in the court. Now this sentence, every question, every sentence is aimed at Wen Liang. Zhe, and these questions, Wen Liangzhe who dared to call himself Chen Guo's exhausting, certainly did not dare to answer them.The conclusion that nothing can be achieved seems to have shaken him.
Wen Liangzhe was stunned for a while, then knelt and looked up at Emperor Yuanchang, "Your Majesty, the old minister is loyal, and the sun and the moon can learn from each other!"
Emperor Yuanchang frowned, intending to prevent Yu Wujue from going on like this, but Yu Wujue obviously wasn't over yet.
A slow voice sounded in the hall.
"Don't talk about the distance, I will tell you the nearest one." His gaze finally turned to Wen Liangzhe's disciple, "What are you doing when the north is in emergency? South China continues to attack, and the south is in emergency. What are you doing, when even Dong Chu dares to harass Chen Guo, what are you all doing?"
"My lord... I, we are civil servants?" The untidy voice sounded with a trace of humiliation.
"Civilian?" Yu Wujue seemed to be chewing on these two words, "This king never knew that in the eyes of everyone, Chen Guo's civil servants are so easy to do, even if a big event happens, no one will stand up, and when the big event is settled, all of them will come out." crusade against those who do things,"
"Since Meng Changqing is said to be of no benefit to the Kingdom of Chen, today, to impeach those who oppose her, I just want to ask, who can do more and better for the Kingdom of Chen than her?"
"My lord, Meng Changqing is a woman, and women are not allowed to be officials in the court." Another voice came out to object, and the question finally came to this point.
Wen Liangzhe closed his eyes, "Since this is the case, the old minister cannot erase what Meng Changqing has done for the Kingdom of Chen. However, women's entry into the court violates the etiquette and laws and must not be tolerated. Otherwise, from now on, women all over the world will abandon their red makeup one after another. Boudoir, entering the court hall, wouldn’t it be a great chaos, with women in court, in the future, Ruan Fu has set a precedent for how the world’s literati and students will deal with themselves in the future, and there will be more and more in the future, please think again, Your Majesty.”
Has it finally turned the problem into that women are not allowed to enter the court?
Yu Wufan who stood behind Yu Wujue breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that today, Yu Wujue was going to completely cut off all the voices against Ruan Fu, so that Ruan Fu would have no worries from now on.
Yu Wuhan, who has always been silent, also spoke at this time, "Master Wen has such deep prejudices, but these words are not the thoughts of scholars all over the world, but just the words of Mr. Wen's family."
"His Royal Highness King Qing's words are wrong. All students in the world do not obey the sacramental ritual system. Women entering the court are not tolerated by the ancient etiquette system. Men do not speak inside, women do not speak outside. It is neither sacrifice nor mourning, and does not give gifts to each other. "
"This is an ancient method. Master Wen wants to restore the ancient rituals in this dynasty?" Yu Wuhan's voice was low.
Emperor Yuanchang's expression was not good, and Wen Liangzhe hurriedly said, "The old minister is not trying to restore the ancient rituals. Today, if there is no one who can represent the voice of the world's literati, and agrees that Ruan Fu can enter the court even though he is a woman, the old minister will Still against it, the so-called Wen dies remonstrance, Wu dies in battle, the old minister is the death remonstrance hall, and Ruan Fu will never be allowed to enter the court."
A cold light flashed across Yu Wuhan's eyes, and finally shook his head, but stopped talking.
Yu Wujue seemed to stop talking after the question was transformed.
However, the atmosphere in the hall has changed subtly. For the courtiers, how many people in this world can represent the voices of the literati in the world.
Therefore, after Wen Liangzhe uttered these words, the deathly silence in the hall lasted for a while, and then someone said, "Master Wen is a nitpicker. If you dare to ask Mr. Wen, this person who can represent the voice of the world's literati, And who is it, could it be Master Wen?"
It was a military officer who spoke. Military officers have always been straightforward, and they hate such a set of things the most. For example, because their daughter was born as a military officer woman, sometimes they are looked down upon by those women who are high-ranking civil officials when they walk outside. At this moment, when the ministers attacked Ruan Phuc, the military officer was the one who looked down on it the most.Maybe when the names of Meng Changqing and Ruan Fu first appeared, some people couldn't accept it for a while, but after Chen Kingdom overthrew Eastern Chu and achieved such achievements in water warfare, the prejudice has gradually disappeared.
The so-called strong respect the strong, regardless of whether the other party is a man or a woman, as long as they have the ability, they can be respected. Those red tapes are not that important.
"Of course I don't dare to pretend to represent the voice of the literati in the world. I can't afford to wear this high hat."
"Whether Mr. Wen is too stubborn? According to my opinion, no matter whether it is in the imperial court or in Yongjia City, literati and scholars are more respectful of Miss Ruan, rather than the objection that Mr. Wen said. To be fair, I think, Those who are capable in everything live there, in this world, if there are a few Meng Changqings, naturally not every woman can enter the court." Minister Tang said.
"Speaking of people who can represent the voices of scholars in the world, I think of someone." Yu Wufan interrupted suddenly.
Over there, Yu Wuyang, who hadn't spoken for a long time, heard this, "Sixth brother said, could it be Mr. Shang Hong from Yiyuan Academy."
Yu Wufan nodded, "I wonder if Mr. Wen thinks he is qualified?"
Wen Liangzhe was silent for a moment, "Brother Shang Hong is certainly a great Confucian in the world, and his peaches and plums are all over the world. Naturally, he can be the voice representing the literati. However, Brother Shang Hong has long been far away from the imperial court. How could he come out again because of this secular world."
Yu Wuyang also opened his mouth and said, "It's true, Mr. Shang Hong is a man of high integrity and has always been a person who respects etiquette. Now in the hall, I don't know how many people have been taught by Mr. Shang Hong. If you can get a word from Mr. Shang Hong, Come to think of it, everyone agrees, but...it's a pity."
"That's not necessarily the case." Yu Wufan said quietly.
"Father, my son is willing to go to Shanghong Academy immediately and invite Mr. Shanghong into the palace." Yu Wuhan said suddenly.
As we all know, Qing Wang Yu Wuhan seldom had such a time in the court, and at this moment, it inevitably made others a little more surprised.
Yu Wuhan's voice was calm, "Meng Changqing is talented, and it's a good thing that Chen Kingdom can use it. Back then, Nanhuazheng was able to have such a grand occasion because of having an extra daughter of the Meng family. Now, Chen Kingdom has got a Meng Changqing, but it's in the same place. I am entangled in the question of whether to use it or not, since the adults think that Mr. Shang Hong can represent the voice of literati, the easiest way is for Mr. Qing Shanghong to enter the palace and express his views."
Emperor Yuanchang nodded, "Well, you are right."
Emperor Yuanchang originally wanted to say something, but someone from the palace had already come to report, "Your Majesty, Mr. Shang Hong of Yiyuan Academy is asking to see you at the gate of the palace."
A flash of surprise flashed in Emperor Yuanchang's eyes, "Why is Mr. Shang Hong here?"
Even the people in the hall had different expressions on their faces. We just mentioned Mr. Shang Hong, and Mr. Shang Hong asked to see him at the gate of the palace. It seemed that everything was developing according to a predetermined direction.
Yu Wujue looked calm, he was the only one who didn't have any surprise expression on his face, and when he heard the news, Yu Wujing was the first to cast his gaze on Yu Wujue.
Yu Wuxiu's accident just passed by in a flash, but in the next moment, he seemed to understand the whole story, and looking at Yu Wujue also had a hint of meaning.
Emperor Yuanchang glanced at Yu Wujue, "Please invite Mr. Shang Hong in immediately."
Mr. Shang Hong has passed his [-]th birthday this year, and everyone waited for more than a quarter of an hour before they saw Mr. Shang Hong, who was already gray-haired but still in good spirits, coming to the main hall of Shengchao with the support of his first disciples.
"Caomin has seen His Majesty, long live my emperor."
Emperor Yuanchang hurriedly said, "Mr. Shang Hong has come from a long way. You have worked hard. Please give me a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The surprise on Wen Liangzhe's face has not disappeared, "Why is Brother Shang Hong here?"
Mr. Shang Hong shook his head, "Brother Wen, are you safe?"
"Brother Shang Hong came out because of the Meng Changqing matter that is now being discussed by the court?"
Mr. Shang Hong did not answer Wen Liangzhe's words, but turned his head to look at Emperor Yuanchang sitting on the seat, "Your Majesty, a few days ago, I watched the sky at night. The coincidence of positions is a sign of the great prosperity of Chen Kingdom."
As soon as these words came out, there were always voices of discussion in the hall.
"How is it possible?" Wen Liangzhe lost his voice. "Brother Shang Hong, when I watch the sky at night, it is clearly a sign of great evil."
Mr. Shang Hong shook his head, "Brother Shang Hong, the position of the star shifts and changes rapidly. This is a strange image that has not been seen for several years. I'm afraid you haven't fully glimpsed it. Just look at the surface and take it as the real meaning. The star of Wenqu , Many people were killed today, and it’s hard to tell whether it’s going to happen or not. I look at the sky and know that it’s a calamity. This catastrophe will definitely affect the situation of Chen Kingdom and even the world. Combined with the matter of Miss Ruan, I have a certainty in my mind.”
"Brother Shang Hong has not cared about world affairs for many years, how can he still pay attention to the migration of personal stars?"
"Because, the world is bound to change. Zhongtian takes the place and Wenqu takes the place. This old man has no choice but to come."
Although Mr. Shang Hong and Wen Liangzhe talked about galaxies such as star positions, especially those who are not involved in this aspect at all in the court do not understand, but they understand a truth. They are proficient in astronomy, geography, five elements and gossip. Mr. Fenghou Shanghong predicted Ruan Fuxing's interests in Chen Kingdom.
"Mr. Shang Hong, that is to say, Miss Ruan, is her astrological position critical?" A courtier asked.
Mr. Shang Hong nodded, "Yes."
The military officer seemed to have grasped the key information, "Mr. Shang Hong means that Ruan Tongzhi is a sign of the great prosperity of Chen Kingdom." Mr. Shang Hong has a high reputation in Chen Kingdom, and his disciples are honest and pragmatic. Both civil servants and military officials are very respectful.
Mr. Shang Hong nodded in a low voice.
As if they got a positive answer, someone immediately said, "Let me just say, now that so many people have made so many excuses to oppose, how can they be safe and sound?"
Wen Liangzhe seemed unwilling to pay attention to the other voices, "Brother Shang Hong, Meng Changqing is Ruan Fu, a woman, how can she rule the Kingdom of Chen?"
"Brother Wen, don't be blinded by your own extremes." Mr. Shang Hong's voice was calm but with a distant meaning, "Etiquette depends on each person. God wants to find an unusual one for Chen Guo. How could it be possible for you to shake the way you are alone? So what if Ruan Fu is a woman, if she lives as Meng Changqing forever, and even enters the court, what about Brother Wen, but she will still be as extreme as she is now Object? What's more, heaven and earth give birth to a person, parents give birth to a child, whether it is a man or a woman, but there is a difference in the body, the difference in appearance, the heart and the nature are acquired, and the wisdom and wisdom are nurtured, regardless of the difference between men and women. How can you make wild comments because of the difference in the body?"
The distant and calm voice clearly recalled in the main hall, Mr. Shang Hong's tone was calm, but this attitude was exactly the same as when he was teaching at Yiyuan Academy and explaining the truth to the students.
Whether it is the spirit and mentality of the world's great Confucianists and wise men shown in him, or the magnanimity shown in him, they are all very convincing, and no one in the hall can object.
Wen Liangzhe seemed to have lost his last hope, "Brother Shang Hong, I never thought that you would say such a thing today."
"Brother Wen, the world has long been indifferent to me, but you have too much obsession in your heart. Now, you are not against Ruan Fu, but are afraid, afraid of the changes that will happen in the world."
The hall suddenly fell silent.
But the voices of subtle discussions lingered.
After a long time, Wen Liangzhe closed his eyes and kowtowed heavily to Emperor Yuanchang, "Your Majesty, the old minister has nothing to say!"
"Master Wen..." Yu Wulin looked at Mr. Shang Hong who seemed to be more than ten years old in an instant with a look of despair.
Luo Yushi and Jiang Taiwei, who knelt beside him and didn't get up, were also a little unbelievable. Wen Liangzhe's attitude has always been their most favorable support.
If Wen Liangzhe falls, what strong support do they have?
After Wen Liangzhe kowtowed heavily, he didn't get up for a long time, and then he raised his head suddenly and said, "This old man has kept the etiquette all his life, no matter what the heavens say today, he will never go to court with women!"
After saying that, he stood up abruptly, about to bump into the pillars in the hall.
The sudden change caused panic, "Lord Wen!"
But the scene of the death remonstrance hall that everyone imagined did not happen. Wen Liangzhe did not hit the pillars of the hall, and fell limply to the ground when he was about to hit the pillars of the hall.
Everyone looked at the movements of Yu Wujue's hands, and they immediately understood. Those who understand the way of martial arts already understand that it is the kung fu of tapping acupuncture points from the air.
In the main hall, there was a relaxed whisper immediately.
But there was an inexplicable atmosphere that couldn't dissipate.
Because today's discussions took too long, after the morning court ended, it was almost noon, Yu Wujue sent Mr. Shang Hong out of Yongjia City, "Thank you Mr. Shang Hong."
Mr. Shang Hong shook his head, "His Royal Highness King Jin does not need to thank me. The old man entered the palace this time not because of His Highness, nor because of His Highness's request that day."
Yu Wujue said, "This king knows, but he is still grateful to Mr. Shang Hong."
"This is Ruan Fu's fate. The old man just pushed through the clouds to let the lost people see. Since it is the fate of the heavens, the old man has no reason to stop it."
Yu Wujue smiled, "This king doesn't believe in fate. What this king asks is nothing more than to give her a world to display. Since she is a radiant glow, she shouldn't be covered in dust. She is a flying phoenix that soars nine heavens, and she shouldn't be covered in dust." She should be restrained, this king wants this world and lives for her."
Shock flashed across Mr. Shang Hong's eyes, "I hope His Royal Highness Prince Jin thinks twice."
Yu Wujue didn't care, "Today, the king dared to say these words in front of Mr. to let Mr. know his determination. Since Mr. also said that she is the sovereign, how can I make this king think twice?"
The astonishment in Mr. Shang Hong's eyes didn't disappear, he looked at Yu Wujue for a long time, but couldn't say a word.
Yu Wujue smiled, "Today I will send you to the gate of the city, everything in the city is busy, it has disturbed you all day."
After Yu Wujue finished speaking, he nodded and turned to leave, but Mr. Shang Hong stopped him, "His Royal Highness, please stay."
Yu Wujue turned around, "If Mister persuades me, I don't think so."
"Your Highness, one thought is born and one thought is extinguished. I also hope that Your Highness will take the world as the most important thing and don't take risks."
Yu Wujue said, "How can the master predict the future? Things in the world are like changes in the astrolabe, which changes rapidly. The astrolabe creates a situation, but the situation is broken by others. This king only believes in himself and her."
After that, he said nothing more, turned and left.
Only Mr. Shang Hong was still standing in front of the carriage, looking at the man who would definitely be the one the world looked up to in the future, he murmured after a long time, "Love is too deep to last, Kuang Guo?"
The voices scattered in the cold spring were filled with endless sadness.
Before Yu Wujue returned to the city, he met Yu Wujing on the road, he was not surprised, "Second Brother Huang."
"Fourth brother, today's matter was arranged by you?" Yu Wujing said straight to the point, "Wen Liangzhe's original intention was to prevent Ruan Fu from entering the palace, but the fourth brother directly turned the issue into whether a woman should be an official in the court. Thinking about these days, from Ruan Fu's return to Beijing, everything has been planned by the fourth brother, until the current situation has become a foregone conclusion that can no longer be changed, the fourth brother is still so good at calculating people's hearts and strategizing!"
Yu Wujue didn't deny it, "So what?"
"Did you ever think about Ruan Fu when you did this?" Yu Wujing asked.
Yu Wujue still had a warm smile on her lips, but her eyes were already filled with indifference, "Brother Huang, I have no right to interfere, and you also have no right to feel anything for her."
Yu Wujing's throat was astringent, and he couldn't speak for a while.
Yu Wujue didn't say anything more, when he walked past Yu Wujing, his footsteps stopped again, "Brother Huang, protect your heart, you have already made a choice."
After finishing speaking, Yu Wujue had already stepped away.
Only Yu Wujing was left alone in the cold early spring field, desolate and powerless.
Wen Liangzhe's mansion.
When Wen Liangzhe woke up, all the children of the Wen family gathered around Wen Liangzhe's bed, watching his father who had just left the house, was carried back again, and from his expression, he could see the desolation and Desperate, the eldest son of the Wen family, a seven-foot man, also shed tears, "Father, why are you so persistent?"
Wen Liangzhe didn't seem to hear it, he just stared blankly at the top without saying a word.
The butler's voice came from outside, "Master, Young Master, His Royal Highness Prince Jin is coming to visit Master."
"What, Prince Jin is here?" the eldest son of the Wen family asked in surprise.
And hearing King Jin's voice, Wen Liangzhe seemed to have finally woken up from a dream, "No see!"
But it was too late, Yu Wujue had already walked to the door, "Master Wen."
Although the eldest son of the Wen family knew that his father didn't want to see King Jin, he didn't dare to throw him out on the spot, so he could only go forward and salute, "I've met His Royal Highness King Jin."
Yu Wujue nodded and looked at the crowd around Wen Liangzhe, "How is Mr. Wen injured?"
"Already, it's all right now, thank you His Royal Highness King Jin for helping me."
Wen Liangzhe was still lying on the bed, "This old man is just a humble life, so there is no need for King Jin to save him."
"Father"
"master!"
"Get out!" Wen Liangzhe's voice was weak.
The people who were still in the room had no choice but to retreat, and only Yu Wujue and Wen Liangzhe were left in the room. Wen Liangzhe said, "I don't need His Royal Highness Prince Jin to show mercy. of."
Yu Wujue didn't care, "Whatever you say, I'm not here to visit you today. Since Mr. Wen understands so well, he naturally understands that the move in the golden palace is just because I don't want to cause more trouble. That's all."
"Haha, I didn't expect that the majestic King Jin would also bow down to Ruan Fu's witch."
Yu Wujue narrowed his eyes, "The words of the loser have always been like this."
"His Highness is satisfied now. In the future, Ruan Fu will rule the court and ban Chen Kingdom, and no one will object."
"Whatever you say, naturally you can also think what you think. This king doesn't care about the process. As long as you get a satisfactory result, Mr. Wen doesn't have to pretend to protect the sacrament system. The reason you are afraid is because you are afraid that Ruan Fu will provoke you. It’s just a change in the structure of the court, Master Wen has been in the court for many years, and he has long known about the abuses of the Chen Kingdom, so he will understand what the appearance of Ruan Fu means.”
Wen Liangzhe's eyes widened, "This old man is for the Kingdom of Chen, the Kingdom of Chen!"
Yu Wujue gave him a cold look, as if watching a joke, "Smart people don't slander, you can deceive yourself and others, but what was interrupted 20 years ago, now, this king will not let Chen Kingdom repeat the same mistakes. "
"King Jin, there is more than one Wen Liangzhe in Chen Kingdom, there is no one Wen Liangzhe, and there are others!" Wen Liangzhe said with restraint.
Yu Wujue just laughed, showing his coolness, but more disdainful, he saw Wen Liangzhe's wide-eyed but struggling appearance, he didn't say much, and left without saying anything, leaving only Wen Liangzhe in despair , still whispering in his mouth, everything he did was for Chen Guo.
But no one heard his voice again.
Three days later, Wen Liangzhe submitted his resignation.
Temporarily solve a problem
(End of this chapter)
The New Year has just passed, and a white silk has already been hung in front of the door of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.
Mrs. Ruan died of illness. Although the news was sudden, everything seemed to be taken for granted.
Ruan Yan is not in good health and is still ill, so she only appeared for an hour during the three-day vigil and then stopped showing up. This task was naturally left to Ruan Shu and Ruan Fu.
Ruan Shu behaved very peacefully and was also very sad. When Ruan Fu first came back, she had considered that if the old lady Ruan passed away, she would let Ruan Fu come to guard the spirit, but when it really came to this time, she would rather Among the three daughters of the Ruan family, the one with the saddest expression.
Before she was alive, old lady Ruan actually loved her very much.
Ruan Fu was dressed in sackcloth, and there was neither any sad nor happy expression on his face. Five or six years ago, Ruan Fu might have had a lot of dissatisfaction with Mrs. Ruan, even after she knew about those things. After the incident, she didn't like the old lady, but at this moment, when people died like a lamp went out, she looked at the coffin, but her heart was very peaceful.
However, even so, Ruan Fu still had some weird feelings in his heart.
When the old lady Ruan passed away, Ruan Song was still in court. It was the people in the mansion who specially sent someone to the gate of the palace to wait for him to go down and then told him the news. Ruan Fu remembered very clearly that when Ruan Song came back that day, , Seeing the old lady Ruan who had been sleeping on the bed forever, there was no emotion on her face that could be called sadness or emotion because of her mother's death.
It felt like that person who had passed away was not his own mother.
At that time, Ruan Fu didn't realize this problem, but now, looking at the figure of Ruan Song kneeling in front of the coffin with his back to him, the memory of that day is very clear.
She lowered her eyes and recalled everything between Ruan Song and Mrs. Ruan after she returned to Ruan Mansion. Mrs. Ruan valued Ruan Fu's future, but there was more between Ruan Song and Mrs. Ruan. What is meant is a responsibility of support, not the affection between mother and child.
The mourning hall was quiet, with a smell of burning paper money permeating the air, only the occasional crackling sound caused by the burning candle, Ruan Fu turned his gaze to the mourning hall, no longer thinking about it.
During this period, because of the engagement with Ruan Yan, the King of Chu also personally came to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion to offer incense to the old lady Ruan. Although he knew that Ruan Yan was sick at that time, the King of Chu did not visit Ruan Yan's courtyard. He just left after burning a stick of incense.
Three days later, Mrs. Ruan was buried.
That day, Ruan Yan was present, and she looked much better, but when she looked at Ruan Fu, she had more meaning.
However, this year is not destined to be a smooth year. Since the 15th anniversary of the first lunar month and the death of Mrs. Ruan, it seems that the following days will not be smooth.
On the twentieth day of the first lunar month, Wen Liangzhe, a university scholar who had cultivated in the mansion for more than half a month, finally got better. The first thing he did when he got better was to unite with many civil servants and Confucian scholars under the imperial court to form Jiang Taiwei, Yu The three forces headed by Mr. Luo of Shitai, Wen Liangzhe of the university and their disciples put pressure on Emperor Yuanchang, and the purpose of the pressure was only one, that is, to prohibit Ruan Fu from entering the court as an official.
However, Ruan Fu did not participate in the early dynasty, so he was completely unaware of what happened in the palace hall.
Looking at the three parties kneeling in the hall, Emperor Yuanchang's face was a little gloomy, "Ai Qing, what's the matter?"
Wen Liangzhe had already recovered during the Chinese New Year, "Your Majesty, the Central Plains is orthodox and has always abided by the etiquette system. Ruan Fu has been away for five years and has never kept a filial piety in front of his grandmother. Now that his grandmother has passed away, according to the etiquette system, Ruan Phuc should resign. After going back to my hometown to be my grandmother Ding You for three years, I was not allowed to be an official in the court."
After all, I still don’t want that Ruan Fu to enter the court. As soon as Wen Liangzhe’s words came out, there were bursts of discussions in the hall again, and Ruan Song’s face was also very ugly. If Wen Liangzhe said this, if even Ruan Fu Fu will have to keep filial piety for his grandmother for three years, and he will not be able to enter the court. Then, as a son, he will naturally have to leave the court for three years, but at this time, can he leave the court?
At this moment, he couldn't help but stand on Ruan Fu's side.
Ruan Song narrowed his eyes, and exchanged a glance with Yu Wuyang, but he didn't stand up and say anything.
It was Yu Wuyang who spoke, "Master Wen, is this a big deal?"
Wen Liangzhe turned his head, and took a serious look at Yu Wuyang, "His Royal Highness Su Wang's words are wrong, all goodness and filial piety are the first, and as a child, you should take this as the most important thing."
"According to Mr. Wen, if Ruan Tongzhi returns to his hometown to keep his mother's filial piety, he will not be allowed to enter the court. Whether, the right minister should also do the same. Otherwise, it seems that it is not right to only target Miss Ruan."
Wen Liangzhe frowned, "It should be so, if Ruan Fu left the court, the Prime Minister would have no reason not to leave the court."
The corners of Yu Wufan's lips twitched, "The right minister is the right minister in the court today, and his position is extraordinary. If there is no right minister, I am afraid that many things will not be easy to carry out. Although Ding You is a ritual system, the so-called Jupi The ceremony, the head lining is wounded, ice, the body is cured when sick, and the disease is drunk and eaten meat, the guilt is stopped and the first is restored, the family dress is from the state affairs, and the filial son can come out to serve the country."
There was a small silence in the hall, and then someone finally reacted, and Yu Wuyang continued to speak, "Father, what Elder Wen said is very reasonable, but at this moment and at that moment, the prime minister is in the court. The status is very high. Throughout the history, there are countless phenomena of seizing love when Ding You, the most important minister in the court, believes that this is the time when spring plowing is about to begin. At that time, the prime minister, as the head of all officials, must never leave the court."
Emperor Yuanchang's serious and dark face seemed to slow down, "Yes." Then he turned his gaze to Wen Liangzhe, and Wen Liangzhe said, "The prime minister may be tempted to win over important affairs in the court, but Miss Ruan is cannot."
Yu Wuyang also seemed to understand the righteousness, and did not continue to refute Wen Liangzhe's words, Yu Wufan smiled, "Master Wen's words are wrong, Miss Ruan is now the co-confessor of the imperial study, when the court is busy, The affairs of the imperial study will only get busier, or does Master Wen think that the ministers should not share the worries of the father?"
Wen Liangzhe had already seen Yu Wufan's words, at this time, he would not be easily angry, "His Royal Highness Ji Wang misunderstood, the old minister definitely did not mean that."
Yu Wuyan also said, "Sixth brother, Mr. Wen is a famous minister and Confucian scholar in the court, and he highly respects the etiquette. This is also out of the observance of the etiquette system. How can the sixth brother refute Mr. Wen so much?" people's words.
In Yu Wufan's temperament, he is actually a lazy person, so he said with a smile, "Master Wen, today's purpose is still the same as that of the day. It is not so much to let Miss Ruan go back to her hometown to be a filial piety for her grandmother. He said that he was looking for a way to prevent Miss Ruan from entering the court, Mr. Wen, this king is right."
Wen Liangzhe didn't hide his original intention. When he brought up this topic from the very beginning, that was what he had in mind.
"That's right, that's exactly what the old minister meant. Ruan Fu is absolutely not allowed to be an official in the court."
A smile rose from the corner of Yu Wufan's lips, and he glanced at Yu Wujue who had been silent since the sound of opposition to Ruan Fu's entry into the court sounded in the main hall, and calmly continued to be his Highness Prince Ji.
Wen Liangzhe's words fell into flames, and Lord Yushi Tailuo, who was kneeling beside him, also said, "Your Majesty, I want to impeach Yushufang Tongzhi."
Emperor Yuanchang came interested, "Oh, why does Luo Aiqing want to impeach Yushufang?"
"The minister impeached Ruan Fu, the co-confessor of the imperial study, and beheaded his dissidents. His methods were ruthless, and there was no such thing as a courtier."
Jiang Taiwei also said at this time, "Your Majesty, I also impeach Ruan Fu."
"Why are you?"
"With the help of the power bestowed by His Majesty, Ruan Fu made waves in the court of Zi'an to eliminate dissidents and destroy the court plan."
"Eliminate dissidents?" Emperor Yuanchang murmured these four words playfully, his eyes glanced at Yu Wujue, but he looked at the courtiers in the hall, "My dear friends, do you have a relationship with me?" Luo Aiqing and Jiang Aiqing have the same views?"
As soon as this question came out, several people stood up one after another and knelt in the hall together, "Your Majesty, please withdraw your order and remove Ruan Fuyu from the post of co-prefect of the study, and never hire him."
Emperor Yuanchang smiled, looked at the courtiers kneeling on the ground in the hall with a slight smile, and after a long silence with unknown emotions, "Right Prime Minister, Ruan Fu, you are the daughter of my daughter, what do you have in mind for such impeachment by the love ministers?" idea?"
Ruan Song stood up without any hesitation, "My daughter is smart, it is due to experience, but I think that she is always young and vigorous, and lacks experience. The court has never held an important position at such a young age. It doesn't matter if the old minister's selfishness is good, if he doesn't want his daughter to be criticized by the courtiers, or because of his selfish love for his daughter, I implore Your Majesty to think twice."
"So that's it. It seems that all the lovers don't want Ruan Fu to be an official in the court. My decision is so outrageous." Emperor Yuanchang sighed, and there was even a hint of a smile in his tone.
This sentence made everyone angry, and some people were a little shaken, "Your Majesty, forgive me."
But those who should persevere are still persevering, stubbornly kneeling on the ground.
The smile on Emperor Yuanchang's face finally disappeared, and he snorted coldly.
Immediately there was a voice to support Ruan Fu, but it was General Jin Yun, "Your Majesty, I have objections."
Although Emperor Yuanchang's complexion was not good, his tone didn't seem to be much different from before, "Oh, is General Shenwu also objecting?"
Jin Yun stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have no objection. I believe that Miss Ruan is brilliant in writing and unparalleled in resourcefulness. She is a good talent for governing the country. It is my honor to be able to serve as Miss Ruan in the same court."
"Look, this is the first time I've heard Jin Yun say such a thing in so many years." Emperor Yuanchang pointed to Jin Yun, and there was no meaning in his tone.
There was Jin Yun at the beginning, and then different people came out to support Ruan Fu.
Naturally, there are also many people who remain neutral.
In this way, the hall was divided into several factions, some supported and others opposed.
But no matter what the situation is, today's release will definitely cause a huge discussion.
Wen Liangzhe continued, "Your Majesty, the veteran believes that this person, no matter whether it is Ruan Fu or Meng Changqing, no matter how talented he is, is not a person of great use."
Luo Yushi also said, "Master Wen's words are the aspirations of scholars all over the world. I hope His Majesty will give them serious consideration, so as not to hurt the hearts of people all over the world."
"Your Majesty, Ruan Fu has just entered the court, and he used extraordinary means to kill dissidents. This person will definitely cause Chaogang turmoil in the court in the future, so he must not be retained."
Wen Liangzhe almost burst into tears, "Your Majesty, Meng Changqing is not available!"
As he said that, Wen Liangzhe's head had already rested heavily on the dirt of the hall, and bloodshot eyes were already appearing on his forehead.
Seeing this, many civil servants behind him tried to persuade him, "Lord Wen!"
Emperor Yuanchang frowned, but the princes in the hall, including Yu Wulin, who was the most powerful at the time, didn't speak, because they all understood that it might be best not to speak at this time.
"This king has a question, and I want to ask Master Wen." Yu Wujue's voice recalled it in a calm manner.
It was Yu Wujue who kept silent all this time that made Wen Liangzhe the most alert. He raised his head, a little vigilant, "His Royal Highness, do you have any questions?"
"May I ask Mr. Wen, Ruan Fu, what heinous thing did you do to make you oppose it so far?"
"The old minister is dedicated to the Kingdom of Chen and has absolutely no selfishness. What he said today was never out of personal selfishness, but the Kingdom of Chen is the most important thing."
Yu Wujue nodded, "Then, Luo Yushi and Jiang Taiwei, let me ask Ruan Fu how to eliminate dissidents."
Luo Yushi and Jiang Taiwei looked at each other, "The lower officials are in charge of matters of admonishment in the court. When Ruan Fu entered the court, the lower officials thought it was unreasonable. Naturally, they wanted to play. After learning that he was impeached by the courtiers, he came to threaten him."
"So what do you mean by your lords is that Ruan Fu threatened you, causing you to hold grudges and form cliques for personal gain, and together in today's hall, put pressure on His Majesty to prevent Ruan Fu from entering the court?" Yu Wujue's gaze fell on several people Swept over the body and asked.
"His Royal Highness King Jin, this is turning right and wrong into black and white." But if he admitted that he was threatened by Ruan Fu, wouldn't it be embarrassing, but if he didn't admit it, he overturned the previous remarks.
Wen Liangzhe said, "What His Royal Highness King Jin said was nothing more than to protect Ruan Fu. However, the Central Plains established a dynasty, the civil officials were upright, and their backgrounds were always clear. What's more, in the future, Chen Kingdom will have a century-old foundation to achieve today's achievements, and the veteran believes that using such a person will be detrimental to the country!"
"So, because Ruan Fu is Meng Changqing, Mr. Wen thinks it's unusable?"
"Yes, that's exactly what the old minister meant."
"Master Wen believes that Meng Changqing's entry into the court will be harmful to the Kingdom of Chen, so he strongly opposes it?"
"Yes."
"Master Wen thinks that Meng Changqing has devoted all his efforts to the Kingdom of Chen in the past, no more than you?"
Wen Liangzhe was about to continue to respond, but soon understood Yu Wujue's words, and strongly denied, "The old minister is dedicated to the Kingdom of Chen, and he thinks he deserves the words of dedication, but how could Meng Changqing ever be able to afford it?"
"Very good!" Yu Wujue smiled with pursed lips.
His words were very good with a smile, and the atmosphere in the hall seemed to have changed somewhat. Yu Wulin and the others looked at each other in blank dismay, trying to make use of Yu Wujue's words to make matters worse. emotions, but kept silent, choosing not to speak.
Wen Liangzhe pursed his lips, and said in a deep voice, "I don't know what questions Jin Wang has?"
The corners of Yu Wujue's lips curled up slightly, looking at Wen Liangzhe as if watching a joke.
"In the 20th year of the current dynasty, Jiaozhi was in chaos. Nanhua wanted to conquer Jiaozhi, together with Nanliang, Xihu and Wu, and then raised troops to go north. At that time, Master Wen, who was still buried in the pile of old papers, had any good ways to get along?"
Wen Liangzhe's face darkened, "The old minister is a bachelor of the Imperial Academy, the old minister..."
"In the 21st year of the current dynasty, the war between the three countries in the south is imminent. Nanhua sent troops here. If Meng Changqing hadn't been involved in it, might Mr. Wen go to battle to kill the enemy?"
Wen Liangzhe had difficulty breathing, "His Royal Highness, the old minister is a civil servant!"
"In the 23rd year of the current dynasty, the south was in a hurry to fight. If Meng Changqing hadn't conspired secretly, how would Mr. Wen plan to devote all his energy to defeat the enemy?"
Wen Liangzhe gasped suddenly, "Your Highness!"
"It's also the 23rd year of this dynasty. If Meng Changqing hadn't put pressure on the nobles of the Great Zhou, would Mr. Wen have been prepared to go to the Great Zhou in person to persuade the King of the Great Zhou?" Every sentence, Yu Wujue's voice seemed With some hints of a joke.
Wen Liangzhe's face turned red, "This is an important matter for the envoy!"
"In the 24th year of the current dynasty, floods occurred, and when the court was at a loss what to do, can Mr. Wen come up with any way to solve the worry of who will change?"
Wen Liangzhe wanted to open his mouth, but obviously Yu Wujue didn't intend to give him a chance to speak, a sly smile curled up on the corner of his lips, "Master Wen wants to say that this is a matter of the Ministry of Industry, not that you, an old scholar of the Imperial Academy, should What you do is, so, you are a veteran, civil servant, and Confucian scholar, but you have achieved nothing?"
These words are light, and it doesn't sound like much coercion, but it is such a disdainful feeling that people can't bear it. Wen Liangzhe can't stand it anymore. Even Wen Liangzhe's student in the court, at this moment Feeling aggrieved for his teacher, "His Royal Highness Jin Wang insulted him like this, it is really not the style of a king!"
Yu Wulin and Yu Wuyan looked at each other, and some unexpected surprises flashed in their eyes. Yu Wujue was used to going smoothly in the court, and had never been questioned like this.
On the contrary, it was Yu Wujing who had been silent all this time, looking at Yu Wujue with deep eyes.
Yu Wujue didn't seem to care about such questioning words. He didn't even take a look at anyone who spoke up. It was rare for him to talk so much in the court. Now this sentence, every question, every sentence is aimed at Wen Liang. Zhe, and these questions, Wen Liangzhe who dared to call himself Chen Guo's exhausting, certainly did not dare to answer them.The conclusion that nothing can be achieved seems to have shaken him.
Wen Liangzhe was stunned for a while, then knelt and looked up at Emperor Yuanchang, "Your Majesty, the old minister is loyal, and the sun and the moon can learn from each other!"
Emperor Yuanchang frowned, intending to prevent Yu Wujue from going on like this, but Yu Wujue obviously wasn't over yet.
A slow voice sounded in the hall.
"Don't talk about the distance, I will tell you the nearest one." His gaze finally turned to Wen Liangzhe's disciple, "What are you doing when the north is in emergency? South China continues to attack, and the south is in emergency. What are you doing, when even Dong Chu dares to harass Chen Guo, what are you all doing?"
"My lord... I, we are civil servants?" The untidy voice sounded with a trace of humiliation.
"Civilian?" Yu Wujue seemed to be chewing on these two words, "This king never knew that in the eyes of everyone, Chen Guo's civil servants are so easy to do, even if a big event happens, no one will stand up, and when the big event is settled, all of them will come out." crusade against those who do things,"
"Since Meng Changqing is said to be of no benefit to the Kingdom of Chen, today, to impeach those who oppose her, I just want to ask, who can do more and better for the Kingdom of Chen than her?"
"My lord, Meng Changqing is a woman, and women are not allowed to be officials in the court." Another voice came out to object, and the question finally came to this point.
Wen Liangzhe closed his eyes, "Since this is the case, the old minister cannot erase what Meng Changqing has done for the Kingdom of Chen. However, women's entry into the court violates the etiquette and laws and must not be tolerated. Otherwise, from now on, women all over the world will abandon their red makeup one after another. Boudoir, entering the court hall, wouldn’t it be a great chaos, with women in court, in the future, Ruan Fu has set a precedent for how the world’s literati and students will deal with themselves in the future, and there will be more and more in the future, please think again, Your Majesty.”
Has it finally turned the problem into that women are not allowed to enter the court?
Yu Wufan who stood behind Yu Wujue breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that today, Yu Wujue was going to completely cut off all the voices against Ruan Fu, so that Ruan Fu would have no worries from now on.
Yu Wuhan, who has always been silent, also spoke at this time, "Master Wen has such deep prejudices, but these words are not the thoughts of scholars all over the world, but just the words of Mr. Wen's family."
"His Royal Highness King Qing's words are wrong. All students in the world do not obey the sacramental ritual system. Women entering the court are not tolerated by the ancient etiquette system. Men do not speak inside, women do not speak outside. It is neither sacrifice nor mourning, and does not give gifts to each other. "
"This is an ancient method. Master Wen wants to restore the ancient rituals in this dynasty?" Yu Wuhan's voice was low.
Emperor Yuanchang's expression was not good, and Wen Liangzhe hurriedly said, "The old minister is not trying to restore the ancient rituals. Today, if there is no one who can represent the voice of the world's literati, and agrees that Ruan Fu can enter the court even though he is a woman, the old minister will Still against it, the so-called Wen dies remonstrance, Wu dies in battle, the old minister is the death remonstrance hall, and Ruan Fu will never be allowed to enter the court."
A cold light flashed across Yu Wuhan's eyes, and finally shook his head, but stopped talking.
Yu Wujue seemed to stop talking after the question was transformed.
However, the atmosphere in the hall has changed subtly. For the courtiers, how many people in this world can represent the voices of the literati in the world.
Therefore, after Wen Liangzhe uttered these words, the deathly silence in the hall lasted for a while, and then someone said, "Master Wen is a nitpicker. If you dare to ask Mr. Wen, this person who can represent the voice of the world's literati, And who is it, could it be Master Wen?"
It was a military officer who spoke. Military officers have always been straightforward, and they hate such a set of things the most. For example, because their daughter was born as a military officer woman, sometimes they are looked down upon by those women who are high-ranking civil officials when they walk outside. At this moment, when the ministers attacked Ruan Phuc, the military officer was the one who looked down on it the most.Maybe when the names of Meng Changqing and Ruan Fu first appeared, some people couldn't accept it for a while, but after Chen Kingdom overthrew Eastern Chu and achieved such achievements in water warfare, the prejudice has gradually disappeared.
The so-called strong respect the strong, regardless of whether the other party is a man or a woman, as long as they have the ability, they can be respected. Those red tapes are not that important.
"Of course I don't dare to pretend to represent the voice of the literati in the world. I can't afford to wear this high hat."
"Whether Mr. Wen is too stubborn? According to my opinion, no matter whether it is in the imperial court or in Yongjia City, literati and scholars are more respectful of Miss Ruan, rather than the objection that Mr. Wen said. To be fair, I think, Those who are capable in everything live there, in this world, if there are a few Meng Changqings, naturally not every woman can enter the court." Minister Tang said.
"Speaking of people who can represent the voices of scholars in the world, I think of someone." Yu Wufan interrupted suddenly.
Over there, Yu Wuyang, who hadn't spoken for a long time, heard this, "Sixth brother said, could it be Mr. Shang Hong from Yiyuan Academy."
Yu Wufan nodded, "I wonder if Mr. Wen thinks he is qualified?"
Wen Liangzhe was silent for a moment, "Brother Shang Hong is certainly a great Confucian in the world, and his peaches and plums are all over the world. Naturally, he can be the voice representing the literati. However, Brother Shang Hong has long been far away from the imperial court. How could he come out again because of this secular world."
Yu Wuyang also opened his mouth and said, "It's true, Mr. Shang Hong is a man of high integrity and has always been a person who respects etiquette. Now in the hall, I don't know how many people have been taught by Mr. Shang Hong. If you can get a word from Mr. Shang Hong, Come to think of it, everyone agrees, but...it's a pity."
"That's not necessarily the case." Yu Wufan said quietly.
"Father, my son is willing to go to Shanghong Academy immediately and invite Mr. Shanghong into the palace." Yu Wuhan said suddenly.
As we all know, Qing Wang Yu Wuhan seldom had such a time in the court, and at this moment, it inevitably made others a little more surprised.
Yu Wuhan's voice was calm, "Meng Changqing is talented, and it's a good thing that Chen Kingdom can use it. Back then, Nanhuazheng was able to have such a grand occasion because of having an extra daughter of the Meng family. Now, Chen Kingdom has got a Meng Changqing, but it's in the same place. I am entangled in the question of whether to use it or not, since the adults think that Mr. Shang Hong can represent the voice of literati, the easiest way is for Mr. Qing Shanghong to enter the palace and express his views."
Emperor Yuanchang nodded, "Well, you are right."
Emperor Yuanchang originally wanted to say something, but someone from the palace had already come to report, "Your Majesty, Mr. Shang Hong of Yiyuan Academy is asking to see you at the gate of the palace."
A flash of surprise flashed in Emperor Yuanchang's eyes, "Why is Mr. Shang Hong here?"
Even the people in the hall had different expressions on their faces. We just mentioned Mr. Shang Hong, and Mr. Shang Hong asked to see him at the gate of the palace. It seemed that everything was developing according to a predetermined direction.
Yu Wujue looked calm, he was the only one who didn't have any surprise expression on his face, and when he heard the news, Yu Wujing was the first to cast his gaze on Yu Wujue.
Yu Wuxiu's accident just passed by in a flash, but in the next moment, he seemed to understand the whole story, and looking at Yu Wujue also had a hint of meaning.
Emperor Yuanchang glanced at Yu Wujue, "Please invite Mr. Shang Hong in immediately."
Mr. Shang Hong has passed his [-]th birthday this year, and everyone waited for more than a quarter of an hour before they saw Mr. Shang Hong, who was already gray-haired but still in good spirits, coming to the main hall of Shengchao with the support of his first disciples.
"Caomin has seen His Majesty, long live my emperor."
Emperor Yuanchang hurriedly said, "Mr. Shang Hong has come from a long way. You have worked hard. Please give me a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The surprise on Wen Liangzhe's face has not disappeared, "Why is Brother Shang Hong here?"
Mr. Shang Hong shook his head, "Brother Wen, are you safe?"
"Brother Shang Hong came out because of the Meng Changqing matter that is now being discussed by the court?"
Mr. Shang Hong did not answer Wen Liangzhe's words, but turned his head to look at Emperor Yuanchang sitting on the seat, "Your Majesty, a few days ago, I watched the sky at night. The coincidence of positions is a sign of the great prosperity of Chen Kingdom."
As soon as these words came out, there were always voices of discussion in the hall.
"How is it possible?" Wen Liangzhe lost his voice. "Brother Shang Hong, when I watch the sky at night, it is clearly a sign of great evil."
Mr. Shang Hong shook his head, "Brother Shang Hong, the position of the star shifts and changes rapidly. This is a strange image that has not been seen for several years. I'm afraid you haven't fully glimpsed it. Just look at the surface and take it as the real meaning. The star of Wenqu , Many people were killed today, and it’s hard to tell whether it’s going to happen or not. I look at the sky and know that it’s a calamity. This catastrophe will definitely affect the situation of Chen Kingdom and even the world. Combined with the matter of Miss Ruan, I have a certainty in my mind.”
"Brother Shang Hong has not cared about world affairs for many years, how can he still pay attention to the migration of personal stars?"
"Because, the world is bound to change. Zhongtian takes the place and Wenqu takes the place. This old man has no choice but to come."
Although Mr. Shang Hong and Wen Liangzhe talked about galaxies such as star positions, especially those who are not involved in this aspect at all in the court do not understand, but they understand a truth. They are proficient in astronomy, geography, five elements and gossip. Mr. Fenghou Shanghong predicted Ruan Fuxing's interests in Chen Kingdom.
"Mr. Shang Hong, that is to say, Miss Ruan, is her astrological position critical?" A courtier asked.
Mr. Shang Hong nodded, "Yes."
The military officer seemed to have grasped the key information, "Mr. Shang Hong means that Ruan Tongzhi is a sign of the great prosperity of Chen Kingdom." Mr. Shang Hong has a high reputation in Chen Kingdom, and his disciples are honest and pragmatic. Both civil servants and military officials are very respectful.
Mr. Shang Hong nodded in a low voice.
As if they got a positive answer, someone immediately said, "Let me just say, now that so many people have made so many excuses to oppose, how can they be safe and sound?"
Wen Liangzhe seemed unwilling to pay attention to the other voices, "Brother Shang Hong, Meng Changqing is Ruan Fu, a woman, how can she rule the Kingdom of Chen?"
"Brother Wen, don't be blinded by your own extremes." Mr. Shang Hong's voice was calm but with a distant meaning, "Etiquette depends on each person. God wants to find an unusual one for Chen Guo. How could it be possible for you to shake the way you are alone? So what if Ruan Fu is a woman, if she lives as Meng Changqing forever, and even enters the court, what about Brother Wen, but she will still be as extreme as she is now Object? What's more, heaven and earth give birth to a person, parents give birth to a child, whether it is a man or a woman, but there is a difference in the body, the difference in appearance, the heart and the nature are acquired, and the wisdom and wisdom are nurtured, regardless of the difference between men and women. How can you make wild comments because of the difference in the body?"
The distant and calm voice clearly recalled in the main hall, Mr. Shang Hong's tone was calm, but this attitude was exactly the same as when he was teaching at Yiyuan Academy and explaining the truth to the students.
Whether it is the spirit and mentality of the world's great Confucianists and wise men shown in him, or the magnanimity shown in him, they are all very convincing, and no one in the hall can object.
Wen Liangzhe seemed to have lost his last hope, "Brother Shang Hong, I never thought that you would say such a thing today."
"Brother Wen, the world has long been indifferent to me, but you have too much obsession in your heart. Now, you are not against Ruan Fu, but are afraid, afraid of the changes that will happen in the world."
The hall suddenly fell silent.
But the voices of subtle discussions lingered.
After a long time, Wen Liangzhe closed his eyes and kowtowed heavily to Emperor Yuanchang, "Your Majesty, the old minister has nothing to say!"
"Master Wen..." Yu Wulin looked at Mr. Shang Hong who seemed to be more than ten years old in an instant with a look of despair.
Luo Yushi and Jiang Taiwei, who knelt beside him and didn't get up, were also a little unbelievable. Wen Liangzhe's attitude has always been their most favorable support.
If Wen Liangzhe falls, what strong support do they have?
After Wen Liangzhe kowtowed heavily, he didn't get up for a long time, and then he raised his head suddenly and said, "This old man has kept the etiquette all his life, no matter what the heavens say today, he will never go to court with women!"
After saying that, he stood up abruptly, about to bump into the pillars in the hall.
The sudden change caused panic, "Lord Wen!"
But the scene of the death remonstrance hall that everyone imagined did not happen. Wen Liangzhe did not hit the pillars of the hall, and fell limply to the ground when he was about to hit the pillars of the hall.
Everyone looked at the movements of Yu Wujue's hands, and they immediately understood. Those who understand the way of martial arts already understand that it is the kung fu of tapping acupuncture points from the air.
In the main hall, there was a relaxed whisper immediately.
But there was an inexplicable atmosphere that couldn't dissipate.
Because today's discussions took too long, after the morning court ended, it was almost noon, Yu Wujue sent Mr. Shang Hong out of Yongjia City, "Thank you Mr. Shang Hong."
Mr. Shang Hong shook his head, "His Royal Highness King Jin does not need to thank me. The old man entered the palace this time not because of His Highness, nor because of His Highness's request that day."
Yu Wujue said, "This king knows, but he is still grateful to Mr. Shang Hong."
"This is Ruan Fu's fate. The old man just pushed through the clouds to let the lost people see. Since it is the fate of the heavens, the old man has no reason to stop it."
Yu Wujue smiled, "This king doesn't believe in fate. What this king asks is nothing more than to give her a world to display. Since she is a radiant glow, she shouldn't be covered in dust. She is a flying phoenix that soars nine heavens, and she shouldn't be covered in dust." She should be restrained, this king wants this world and lives for her."
Shock flashed across Mr. Shang Hong's eyes, "I hope His Royal Highness Prince Jin thinks twice."
Yu Wujue didn't care, "Today, the king dared to say these words in front of Mr. to let Mr. know his determination. Since Mr. also said that she is the sovereign, how can I make this king think twice?"
The astonishment in Mr. Shang Hong's eyes didn't disappear, he looked at Yu Wujue for a long time, but couldn't say a word.
Yu Wujue smiled, "Today I will send you to the gate of the city, everything in the city is busy, it has disturbed you all day."
After Yu Wujue finished speaking, he nodded and turned to leave, but Mr. Shang Hong stopped him, "His Royal Highness, please stay."
Yu Wujue turned around, "If Mister persuades me, I don't think so."
"Your Highness, one thought is born and one thought is extinguished. I also hope that Your Highness will take the world as the most important thing and don't take risks."
Yu Wujue said, "How can the master predict the future? Things in the world are like changes in the astrolabe, which changes rapidly. The astrolabe creates a situation, but the situation is broken by others. This king only believes in himself and her."
After that, he said nothing more, turned and left.
Only Mr. Shang Hong was still standing in front of the carriage, looking at the man who would definitely be the one the world looked up to in the future, he murmured after a long time, "Love is too deep to last, Kuang Guo?"
The voices scattered in the cold spring were filled with endless sadness.
Before Yu Wujue returned to the city, he met Yu Wujing on the road, he was not surprised, "Second Brother Huang."
"Fourth brother, today's matter was arranged by you?" Yu Wujing said straight to the point, "Wen Liangzhe's original intention was to prevent Ruan Fu from entering the palace, but the fourth brother directly turned the issue into whether a woman should be an official in the court. Thinking about these days, from Ruan Fu's return to Beijing, everything has been planned by the fourth brother, until the current situation has become a foregone conclusion that can no longer be changed, the fourth brother is still so good at calculating people's hearts and strategizing!"
Yu Wujue didn't deny it, "So what?"
"Did you ever think about Ruan Fu when you did this?" Yu Wujing asked.
Yu Wujue still had a warm smile on her lips, but her eyes were already filled with indifference, "Brother Huang, I have no right to interfere, and you also have no right to feel anything for her."
Yu Wujing's throat was astringent, and he couldn't speak for a while.
Yu Wujue didn't say anything more, when he walked past Yu Wujing, his footsteps stopped again, "Brother Huang, protect your heart, you have already made a choice."
After finishing speaking, Yu Wujue had already stepped away.
Only Yu Wujing was left alone in the cold early spring field, desolate and powerless.
Wen Liangzhe's mansion.
When Wen Liangzhe woke up, all the children of the Wen family gathered around Wen Liangzhe's bed, watching his father who had just left the house, was carried back again, and from his expression, he could see the desolation and Desperate, the eldest son of the Wen family, a seven-foot man, also shed tears, "Father, why are you so persistent?"
Wen Liangzhe didn't seem to hear it, he just stared blankly at the top without saying a word.
The butler's voice came from outside, "Master, Young Master, His Royal Highness Prince Jin is coming to visit Master."
"What, Prince Jin is here?" the eldest son of the Wen family asked in surprise.
And hearing King Jin's voice, Wen Liangzhe seemed to have finally woken up from a dream, "No see!"
But it was too late, Yu Wujue had already walked to the door, "Master Wen."
Although the eldest son of the Wen family knew that his father didn't want to see King Jin, he didn't dare to throw him out on the spot, so he could only go forward and salute, "I've met His Royal Highness King Jin."
Yu Wujue nodded and looked at the crowd around Wen Liangzhe, "How is Mr. Wen injured?"
"Already, it's all right now, thank you His Royal Highness King Jin for helping me."
Wen Liangzhe was still lying on the bed, "This old man is just a humble life, so there is no need for King Jin to save him."
"Father"
"master!"
"Get out!" Wen Liangzhe's voice was weak.
The people who were still in the room had no choice but to retreat, and only Yu Wujue and Wen Liangzhe were left in the room. Wen Liangzhe said, "I don't need His Royal Highness Prince Jin to show mercy. of."
Yu Wujue didn't care, "Whatever you say, I'm not here to visit you today. Since Mr. Wen understands so well, he naturally understands that the move in the golden palace is just because I don't want to cause more trouble. That's all."
"Haha, I didn't expect that the majestic King Jin would also bow down to Ruan Fu's witch."
Yu Wujue narrowed his eyes, "The words of the loser have always been like this."
"His Highness is satisfied now. In the future, Ruan Fu will rule the court and ban Chen Kingdom, and no one will object."
"Whatever you say, naturally you can also think what you think. This king doesn't care about the process. As long as you get a satisfactory result, Mr. Wen doesn't have to pretend to protect the sacrament system. The reason you are afraid is because you are afraid that Ruan Fu will provoke you. It’s just a change in the structure of the court, Master Wen has been in the court for many years, and he has long known about the abuses of the Chen Kingdom, so he will understand what the appearance of Ruan Fu means.”
Wen Liangzhe's eyes widened, "This old man is for the Kingdom of Chen, the Kingdom of Chen!"
Yu Wujue gave him a cold look, as if watching a joke, "Smart people don't slander, you can deceive yourself and others, but what was interrupted 20 years ago, now, this king will not let Chen Kingdom repeat the same mistakes. "
"King Jin, there is more than one Wen Liangzhe in Chen Kingdom, there is no one Wen Liangzhe, and there are others!" Wen Liangzhe said with restraint.
Yu Wujue just laughed, showing his coolness, but more disdainful, he saw Wen Liangzhe's wide-eyed but struggling appearance, he didn't say much, and left without saying anything, leaving only Wen Liangzhe in despair , still whispering in his mouth, everything he did was for Chen Guo.
But no one heard his voice again.
Three days later, Wen Liangzhe submitted his resignation.
