Chapter 17 Chapter 17 The villain of the Qing Dynasty deposes Zhao Yuankai and asks Feng Chan to make it difficult for Li Shimin

Compared with Wei Zheng and Cen Wenwen, Hou Junji's fierce generals are too low-level in flattery. After Hou Junji and the others came out, only one person was sent to jail for disgusting the marching clerks, and that person was Comrade Zhao Yuankai, the marching chief. During the march, Hou Junji's war horse fell ill and had a yellowish bloody pustule on its head. Zhao Yuankai went over and patted the horse's back, sighed, supported the horse's head, nodded and bowed, and said hello. Next, he made an action that he regretted for the rest of his life. Comrade Zhao Yuankai raised his index finger (or maybe his middle finger), carefully dipped the pus on the horse's head, and solemnly put it in front of his nose for a while to sniff.

The whole process lasted nearly ten seconds. After returning to the court, he was impeached by the censor and moved to the left to be the governor of Kuozhou. Zhao Yuankai used to be Secretary of Agriculture, he was good at collecting people's wealth, the most hateful thing was that he was not corrupt, he just used it to dress up the court and curry favor with the people above him. Later, when he was governor of Puzhou, Li Shimin visited him.Spring has just arrived, and the spring is cold. He actually ordered the people to wear tulle clothes to welcome the holy car, and prepared more than one hundred sheep and hundreds of fish for the accompanying relatives.Although not much, Li Shimin was very angry.

"I patrolled around the Yellow River and Luoshui, and whatever I needed, I took it from the treasury. What you did was only liked by Emperor Sui Yang. This is his old problem." Since he paid tribute with good intentions, the common people had no objection to wearing tulle, Zhao Yuankai still couldn't figure out what he did wrong.Go ahead and think about it, it's better to be careful when working under Li Shimin's nose. Changing the surname to become a king, to bring peace, must seal Taishan, Zen Liangfu, the heavenly decree is the king, so that all people can live, tell peace to the sky, and repay the merits of the gods.

—— "Five Classics Tongyi" Baiguan hoped to take advantage of this auspicious season to follow the scenery. For this reason, they spoke one after another and put forward an exciting suggestion for everyone. This matter is the dream of all emperors. How many wise monarchs wanted to do it, but they couldn't do it because they thought they were not talented enough or ashamed.When Wan Guo came to court, all the officials suggested that this time the emperor must lead us to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen.Feng Chan Taishan is really not something that ordinary emperors dare to do. I have climbed Mount Tai no less than 200 times, climbed to the top 19 times, watched the sunrise six times and the sea of ​​clouds once, and I know a little about Feng Chan.

The ancients must go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen. They built a platform on Mount Tai to worship the sky, and sacrificed to the earth on Liangfu Mountain, proclaiming the existence of the destiny and thanking God for his grace.This is a labor of strength and spectacle. Ordinary people definitely cannot do it, and extraordinary people may not be able to do it either.If you can’t do it, there are ways you can’t do it. First, the Zen ceremony is too big and difficult. Some people are afraid that they will not have strong organizational skills, so they simply don’t go there. Second, the person who confers Zen must be a Mingjun. Many emperors who thought they were not qualified did not enshrine Zen, but only offered sacrifices.

Of course, it is not ruled out that there are some people who are not qualified, but there are also those who have a face. Qin Ershi Hu Hai and Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng are examples. I will not name and criticize these two students here.Prior to this, the list of emperors who have been to Mount Tai (not necessarily able to enshrine Zen, may only offer sacrifices) is as follows: Qin Shihuang Yingzheng In the twenty-eighth year of the First Emperor (219 B.C.), Mount Tai and Zen Liangfu Mountain were granted Huhai II The first year of Emperor II (209 BC) Dengfeng Mount Tai Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty

In the first year of Yuanfeng (110 BC), Mount Tai and Zen Suran Mountain were granted In the second year of Yuanfeng (109 B.C.), Mount Tai and Mingtang were consecrated In the fifth year of Yuanfeng (before 106), Mount Tai and Mingtang were sealed In the first year of Taichu (104 B.C.), Mount Tai and Zenhaoli Mountain were granted Taichu three years (before 102) Feng Taishan, Zen Shilushan In the third year of the Tianhan Dynasty (98 B.C.), Mount Tai and Mingtang were granted the title In the fourth year of Taishi (before 93), Mount Tai and Zen Shilu Mountain were granted In the fourth year of Zhenghe (89 BC), Mount Tai and Zen Shilu Mountain were granted

Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty In the 32nd year of Jianwu (56), Mount Tai and Zen Liangfu Mountain were granted Emperor Zhang Liuxuan In the second year of Yuanhe (85), firewood sacrifices to Mount Tai and ancestral halls Antique Liu Hu In the third year of Yanguang (124), firewood sacrifices to Mount Tai and ancestral halls Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian In the fifteenth year of Emperor Kaihuang (595), the altar was set up to offer sacrifices to Mount Tai Respecting the heaven and the earth and conforming to the ritual of nature, only the wise king who created the prosperous age is qualified to enshrine Zen and Mount Tai.Amidst the discussion, the ministers began to ask Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, you are not qualified, who is qualified?"

Li Shimin replied: "I also think I am qualified." The officials said: "Then you should wash up and sleep quickly, hold a meeting another day to discuss the route, and set off on an auspicious day!" Li Shimin replied: "Where are you going? Just set up a raised trestle at home to worship the sky, and build a mound to sue the ground. What are you doing so far?" The officials were stunned by Li Shimin's answer. Now, right now, in the city of Chang'an, thousands of foreign leaders, chiefs, and khans have all signed in. From any Stan to any Nia, from any Java to any ivory, there are all kinds of people and heroes from all walks of life. Prepare, only owe the emperor.Baiguan tried to take this as an opportunity to request Fengchan again.

But Li Shimin didn't seem to be interested in Feng Chan, and he could always find out one or another reason when facing the officials. In fact, as early as the spring of this year, they discussed and knelt down once, but Li Shimin's attitude was firm at that time. In the twelfth lunar month of the fifth year of Zhenguan (632), the samurai Xun, who had never shown his face, was the first to kill him, and led all the civil and military officials to the court hall and stood still, which surprised Li Shimin.It was only later that he found out that this group of people got entangled in order to take advantage of the good time when the foreigners were there, and go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen together.

After listening to the samurai Xun's energetic description, Li Shimin smiled and said, "What else do you have to do?" The ministers said: "No." Li Shimin said: "Back to the court!" Amid the sound of ouches, please Feng fell into the water again. The officials refused to accept it, and in the spring of the sixth year of Zhenguan (632), the civil and military officials gathered again and drove to the Taiji Hall in a mighty manner, with only one purpose.They knew that the emperor really wanted to go to Mount Tai, but as an excellent emperor, humility and concessions must be done at home.Li Shimin declined in this way, but this was the third time, and it was only the third time. If he didn't go this time, it would prove that he really didn't want to go. Facing the surging kneeling tide, Li Shimin's mouth was parched. "Your Majesty, don't you really want to go?" This group of ministers are all good. They are diligent in political affairs and honest. They never expected that facing the great cause of Fengchan, they would all be crazy like chicken blood. They flocked to Li Shimin. can be said. Li Shimin signaled for everyone to be quiet: "Everyone thinks that enshrining Zen is a grand event for the emperor, but I don't think so. If the world is stable and the family is satisfied, even if it is not enshrined in Zen, what's the problem? At the beginning, Qin Shihuang enshrined Zen, but Han Wendi did not enshrine Zen. Is it because later generations think that Han Wendi Isn’t it as wise as Qin Shihuang? Besides, why do you have to climb to the top of Mount Tai and confiscate a few feet of land for sacrifices? Does that mean you are sincere?” When he said this, he scanned the audience like an electric fan. Frankly speaking, the ministers were waiting for his words. Ministers are ministers, all of them have read poetry and books and are good at grasping key words.After careful analysis, Li Shimin is talking about climbing to the top of Mount Tai. Sealing a few feet of land does not necessarily mean piety. Note that it does not necessarily mean piety, and we can make a fuss about it here.The ministers are relieved, it turns out that His Majesty is afraid of being impious, so let's be a little pious! The ministers are all decent, and they began to mentally bombard Li Shimin in turn, trying to completely destroy Li Shimin's attitude.According to the rules at that time, the officials had important matters to attend, and the emperor was not allowed to leave the court if he was sick, and he had to continue the meeting even if he was hungry. The meeting was difficult to deliver and insomnia. In the end, it was impossible to end the meeting. Li Shimin said: "Let's go then."
