Chapter 63 Section 63

The next afternoon, the emperor came to Yikun Palace again, this time sitting with Concubine Jin. "I've read it." The emperor pulled out the Wenting-style poetry volume from his sleeve, and handed it to Concubine Zhen, "The poetry is very good, with some talent. However, according to hearsay, there are many inaccuracies." Upon hearing this, Concubine Jin became frightened at first, "Literati like to play with words and ink, and don't know taboos." She said, "Your Majesty don't need to talk to him." "I can ignore it and pass it 'inside', but it will be a disaster!" The emperor said to the concubine Zhen, "You'd better burn it!"

"Yes!" It was still Concubine Jin who replied, "Sister slave obeys the order." The emperor still had something to say, but when he saw the door curtain being lifted, he immediately asked, "Who is it?" "It's a slave!" Wang Xiang opened the curtain and entered, asking for Ann to say, "Lafayette called, and I'm in Chuxiu Palace at the moment. Please show me the Lord Long Live." It is clearly a request for instructions, but it is actually a urging.The emperor didn't care to say anything more, and immediately passed through the apse of Yikun Palace, and arrived at Chuxiu Palace very quickly.

"Here are two memorials, take a look!" The Empress Dowager Cixi said calmly, "From the day after tomorrow, you alone will bear the heavy burden. I knew that there must be such tricks." What trick?The emperor has no way of guessing.But listening to the tone of the Empress Dowager Cixi, one had to be vigilant, so she read the memorial very carefully. The first excerpt is a replay by the Ministry of Officials, explaining that Tu Renshou's "replacing the official as dismissal and staying in office", the so-called "remove the censor, and handle it separately", should first go to the Wendu Procuratorate, and propose to make up for Tu Renshou's legacy in Shanxi Afterwards, Tu Renshou, who supervised the censor, was appointed as a member of the six departments, and was dismissed at the same time to stay in his post.

The emperor felt that there was nothing wrong with this treatment.The censor and the secretary are of similar rank, but their identities are quite different. Tu Renshou made improper suggestions, and if he is not taught to take responsibility for his words, this punishment is logical.What's more, if the secretary is transferred, he still has to be "dismissed and stay in the post", and the punishment is already very heavy. Having said that, the intention of the Empress Dowager Cixi was unclear, and it was inconvenient to speak hastily, so the emperor put it aside first, and then looked at the second one.

The second memorial was given by Wu Dacheng, who had just been transferred to the Governor of Hedao in July last year.When the emperor saw the reason: "Please discuss the ceremony of respecting Prince Chun", his heart skipped a beat, and he looked more carefully. At the beginning of the memorial, he first praised King Chun, saying that he was "loyal to the country, humble and prudent, and established the Navy Yamen. All matters have been properly discussed and the regulations have been properly discussed. He has made great contributions and is looked up to by the people of the world." Then he mentioned King Chun His status: "Being in front of the empress dowager, you should be a courtier, and in the emperor, you should be like a father and son."

This sentence shocked the emperor again, but he couldn't help but calm down and read: "Our dynasty governs the world with filial piety, and we should use righteous names to define divisions first. For those who are ministers and people who are the latter, the example can be sealed by themselves Seal the parents of the original birth. This kind of kindness of the imperial court, so the filial piety of the courtiers is deep and thick. Those who belong to the ministers and workers have to push the birth of the original birth, and invite them to confer the imperial edict; Parents, there must be a ceremony of respect."

The words are good, but how can the emperor and the courtiers be compared?Courtiers enshrine their parents, and even a guest like He De can be enshrined with three generations and one rank, but the emperor's biological father can't also honor the emperor's big name, otherwise, wouldn't he become the emperor? The emperor knew that something taboo had happened!Unconsciously, he took a peek, and saw that the Empress Dowager Cixi was resting with her eyes closed. Although her face was very peaceful, she had an unfathomable expression.So be more careful. Looking at it further, it is quoting Mencius's words "the sage's human relations are the best", thinking that "one's personal relations are the most polite, but you can feel at ease.

If the emperor's heart is at ease, then the empress dowager's heart will be at ease, and the hearts of all the subjects in the world will not be uneasy. "The emperor felt that it was just the opposite. This memorial was disturbing, so let's read it again. The following article is difficult to read. It examines Song history and Ming history, talks about Song Yingzong and Ming Shizong's past events, and then quotes Ganlu Yubiz Tongjian Collection, which makes an argument about Song Yingzong's worship of his biological father. Compliments. Qianlong was a talented man, but his status was different from that of ordinary people, so he always had special opinions without taboo in discussing history.Regarding the "Great Ritual Discussion" of the Ming Dynasty, it is considered that Ming Shizong respected his biological father, which is the most affectionate of the son, and his ministers must adhere to Song Yingzong's established practice. Changing the name of Mao Li's close relative to Uncle is really disturbing." Therefore, Qianlong believed that at the beginning of the meeting of the ministers, the name of this life was decided early, and the emblem was added, so that Sejong could pay a little respect to his biological father and show a little filial piety. However, how can Zhang Zhong, Gui E and his like make waves against Sejong's inner pain?This means that if Shizong can respect his biological father as the emperor from the very beginning, and make him fulfill the gift of a son of man, there will be no conflict of spirit between the monarch and his ministers in the future, which will cause a huge disturbance.

Wu Dacheng quoted Qianlong's proposition, thinking that he was a strong support, and said eloquently: "The sacred teachings are brilliant, and it is not easy to conclude through the ages. The names of the original parents cannot be changed. Even if they are honored, they should not be called There is no doubt that the name of this life is too much." Seeing this, the emperor was taken aback, and realized that he had to make a serious statement immediately, otherwise not only would he suffer from suspicion, but it would also bring a lot of trouble to his biological father. "Wu Dacheng is just talking nonsense." The emperor lowered his hands and said, "My son wants to ask Yi to dismiss him first and hand him over to the Ministry of Punishment for punishment."

"There is no need to be so strict. To clarify the matter, let the whole world understand who is the emperor now and who should be the emperor in the future. This is the most important thing." Empress Dowager Cixi continued: " Let me ask you, what is wrong with Wu Dacheng's argument?" "It's not only wrong, it's absolutely ridiculous." The emperor replied: "Gaozong's original intention is that King Xingxian has already come down to the world, and he is honored as emperor. Adding a badge name is just a false name, harmless to reality. If Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty Entering into the Datong, and King Xingxian is still alive, Emperor Chun will definitely not make such a comment."

"That's right!" Empress Dowager Cixi nodded: "What Wu Dacheng means is that everyone should discuss the etiquette of the title of King Chun. I just can't figure it out. I'm already a prince. What title can I change? Really become the Supreme Emperor? Then, should I move to the Ningshou Palace? As for me, do I have to kneel and kowtow to see him?" There is actually no need to say this, but the Empress Dowager Cixi actually said it.Although it was an absolutely impossible hypothetical word, it still sounded harsh and shocking, and the emperor couldn't help but knelt down. "That will never happen. Wu Dacheng is too hateful. If he said such absurd words, he must be severely punished." The emperor looked so indignant, of course the Empress Dowager Cixi felt satisfied, but she was still a little worried, because she was very self-aware, and the emperor always feared her more than respected and loved her.At this time, it seems very anxious, but after thinking about it, you may feel that Wu Dachen’s words are not without merit. He must let him know that this matter is iron-clad, and King Chun will always be the title of Prince no matter whether he is alive or dead, so that the emperor Really die of that heart. She stopped thinking like this, and she said kindly: "Get up. I know you are very sensible. However, because of your succession, there was a huge disturbance, and some people even died for no reason. I'm afraid you Don't necessarily know." This refers to the great funeral of Mu Zong in the fifth year of Guangxu. Wu Kedu, the head of the Ministry of Officials, was sent to Huiling to attend the ceremony. After the incident, he died of poisoning in Sanyi Temple in Jizhou.The emperor was only nine years old at that time, and he seems to remember that Empress Dowager Ci'an praised repeatedly: "Wu Kedu is a loyal minister!" But Empress Dowager Cixi said: "Poor nerd!" Other than that, I don't know much. At this time, when the Empress Dowager Cixi mentioned it, she immediately replied: "At that time, Wu Ke read a book, but my son hadn't read it yet, so I wanted to find it out and have a look." "So you haven't read this excerpt yet?" Empress Dowager Cixi was surprised: "The masters of Yuqing Palace have never mentioned this matter?" "No." "That's strange! Why didn't the masters talk about such a big event?" Empress Dowager Cixi immediately called out, "Come on!" It was Li Lianying who came in, he had been waiting outside the window, he knew something about it, but he had to pretend not to know, bowed his waist and waited quietly for instructions. "Do you remember, in the fifth year of Guangxu, Wu Ke read the case, there were many memorials, should copy a copy and keep it in Yuqing Palace, who should give it to?" "If the respect room has recorded the file, it will be clear after checking." "Go and check it! After checking it out, get the original." "yes!" As soon as Li Lianying left, the Empress Dowager Cixi asked again: "The family law of this dynasty does not establish a prince, do you always know?" "yes!" "So Wu Kedu said that he wanted to give Mu Zong an empress, and there were many difficulties. Wu Kedu asked the heir who would inherit the throne from Mu Zong in the future, which is equivalent to establishing a prince first. Wouldn't it be against the family law?" "yes." "Now I want to ask you again, do you know who owns the world?" Asked this, too solemn, the emperor knelt down again.He didn't dare to answer "It's my world", but after thinking for a while, he replied: "It's the world passed down from the emperor Taizu, the world left by the previous emperors." This is not wrong, but the Empress Dowager Cixi felt that the meaning was ambiguous, and the emperor still didn't recognize his own status, and then said seriously: "The world is the world of the Qing Dynasty, and it has been passed down from generation to generation. In your hands, it is your world, and it will be yours in the future." It is your son's world, that's for sure. But there is one level, you have to think carefully about the word "handed down through the same line". Originally, it couldn't be passed on to you. It has been passed down in one line, and it still belongs to Mu Zong's branch. Do you understand?" The emperor thought about it carefully, and he understood but didn't understand. The so-called still belonged to Mu Zong's branch, which meant that his own son would inherit Mu Zong as his heir in the future.However, the emperor called Mu Zong, which is "Huang Kao", so what about himself?What do you call it?This is not clear. Right now, I can only answer clearly: "In the future, when Empress Empress has a grandson, she will choose a good one to inherit the late emperor as her son, and inherit the great line." "By the way, that's exactly what it means." The Empress Dowager Cixi said, "The one who will inherit the throne in the future will naturally be a concubine. I can't let you not have a good son." "Yes!" The emperor kowtowed, "Thank you, Huangeriang, for your kindness." "It's still too early." The Empress Dowager Cixi murmured, as if she wanted to say something but felt blocked. "Get up." The Empress Dowager Cixi leaned down, stretched out her hand, and made a gesture of supporting herself.The emperor felt something strange in his heart, held his mother's hand, took two steps on his knees, raised his face and said, "The son is really terrified! I'm afraid that he will lose the foundation that his ancestors have worked so hard for. The empress mother has worked hard for many years. Today Under the circumstances, the entrustment is heavy. The son's talents are short, and he has not experienced major events. I don't know who in the court can share his confidant? Now, like Wu Dacheng and others, they bring up the pure emperor's hadith to make an argument. If the son is not taught by the emperor's mother For a moment, I really can't see the reason for the disaster. What my son fears the most is these superiors. If he is not careful in the future, he will make a big mistake. What's the matter?" Anyone can be a confidant. Otherwise, even close relatives will have opinions." The Empress Dowager Cixi comforted him and said, "Don't worry, I will always help you for as long as I am alive. What a confused mind." "Yes! When there is an important matter, I will naturally still have to handle it according to my orders. I am afraid that it will be missed at the moment, and sometimes my son is forced to make up his mind immediately, and he will not be able to grasp the measure." "That's the truth. I've also encountered such a situation." The Empress Dowager Cixi immediately said, "I'll teach you a secret, and there are only two words for this secret: hard heart!" "Hard heart?" "By the way! Heart is hard. State affairs are state affairs, family affairs are family affairs; monarchs and ministers are monarchs and nephews, uncles and nephews are uncles and nephews; don't mix them together, your reasoning will be clear." These two sentences made the emperor feel thrilled, and instantly solved a mystery that had been hidden in the center for many years.He often wondered to himself, why are the noble ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, whether they are upright or talented, so fearful and docile to the Empress Dowager Cixi?However, what the Empress Dowager Cixi said and did was sometimes extremely incomprehensible, but why did no one dare to refute it face-to-face without hurting her prestige?Just because the Empress Dowager Cixi can harden her heart, she should use power at critical moments without being restrained by human feelings, especially for those who are related.Such as deposing Prince Gong twice is a very obvious example. What should be the attitude towards Alcohol King now?In this "heart method" that she secretly passed on, it has been fully demonstrated.The emperor really realized this, and replied in a decisive and open-minded voice: "My son understands, and my son must do what the emperor's mother said." "If you can understand this truth, you will be able to take on great things." The Empress Dowager Cixi said very gratified: "Being an emperor is difficult, but it is also easy. With a heart of reverence for the Father, when encountering difficulties, you can put aside everything and do whatever you want, and you will never make a big mistake." "Yes!" the emperor asked, "My son first asks the Ministry of Officials for this memorial, what should I do?" "I keep several of Tu Renshou's papers. What he said is not pleasant, but he doesn't have any selfish intentions. According to my opinion, I can ignore him. But if they have opinions, let them draft them! " "They" refers to the Minister of Military Aircraft.The emperor drew a pinch mark of "communication" with his nails on the memorial, put it aside, and then discussed Wu Dacheng's memorial. At this time, Li Lianying had already fetched the copied memorial from Yuqing Palace, but instead of holding it in front of the emperor, she only said back and forth: "Long Live Lord, please read the memorial." The emperor looked at it, usually in two places, either in the Xinuan Pavilion of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, or in the study of the Empress Dowager Cixi's bedroom. This study is located in the west room of the back hall, named Yilan Pavilion.Li Lianying personally guided them to the seat, ordered the maid to serve a bowl of tea, and set out a few plates of the emperor's favorite Su-style tea, then quietly retreated and closed the door gently. The emperor sat down and opened the yellow box on the red sandalwood book case, and saw a stack of documents tied with yellow silk ribbons. The top one had a red background and a yellow silk framed cover, with the words "Yizhi" in the big book.Uncover it and take a look, using the format of "Ting Ji", five lines per side, twenty characters per line, Duan Kai reads: "On the fifth day of April in the fifth year of Guangxu, the imperial edict of the two palaces was received: before the thirteenth year of Tongzhi on the tenth day On the 5th day of February, a decree was issued that the heir emperor would have a son, that is, inherit the Daxing emperor as the heir. It was originally thought that there would be someone in the future who would comfort the hopes of the subjects of the world. The first pilgrimage to each other, none of them have clearly determined the reserve position. Yi The instruction is Zhaochui, and it is allowed to be obeyed by all generations. It is a decree issued before, and the Inheritance of Unification Festival was not announced, which has a profound meaning. Wu Ke read the request to promulgate the return of the great unification, which is actually inconsistent with the family law of this dynasty. The emperor accepts the emperor Mu Zongyi The most important thing to entrust is that when a prince is born in the future, he will be able to choose Yuanliang carefully and inherit the lineage. The successor of the great unification will be the heir of Emperor Mu Zongyi. He will abide by the constitution of his ancestors and show the world selflessness. The emperor will also be able to empathize with this intention Also. All Wu Kedu's original performances, and the conference papers of Wang and ministers, Xu Tong, Weng Tonghe, and Pan Zuyin's joint papers, Baoting's and Zhang Zhidong's papers, and the edicts of March 17 and today, all written separately Record one point and save it in Yuqing Palace." Next, look at the transcripts. The first pass is the decree on March 17th of that year, ordering the ministers to discuss the original manuscript written by Wu Ke.This original book can no longer be seen. What the emperor saw was the copy, with correct handwriting and full strokes. Of course, it could not show the tragic scene of Wu Ke's reading of Jue Mingqing, with tears and ink.However, when he thought about the emperor's housework, someone would risk his life to make a suggestion. This kind of devotion is really respectable, so he recited it silently, not daring to let go of a single word easily. After reading it again and again, I finally understood that Wu Kedu was afraid that the imperial family would be transferred to the branch of King Jin, and during this transfer, some people wanted to gain wealth by supporting him.Therefore, the most important sentence is not "In the future, the Daxing will still be inherited by the heir of the Daxing Emperor", but the following: "Although the heir is a hundred-year-old man, the Chinese and foreign ministers and workers are not allowed to speak differently!" Is this Wu Kedu's worry?Is Wu Dacheng's memorial the beginning of "Heterogeneous Words"?The emperor couldn't figure it out for a while.Drinking tea, thinking in a daze. Suddenly a voice broke the silence, and looking back, it was Li Lianying who was pushing the door open, and the Empress Dowager Cixi was outside the door.The emperor got up in a hurry and stepped forward to help him personally. The Empress Dowager Cixi sat down on the emperor's original seat, looked at the copy on the table and asked, "Have you read it all?" "Not yet. I only read an excerpt written by Wu Ke." "Ah!" Empress Dowager Cixi sighed slightly: "They are all surnamed Wu!" The implication is that the same surname is Wu, why are the virtuous and stupid so far away from each other?This also clearly expressed the attitude of the Empress Dowager Cixi, who deeply disapproved of Wu Dacheng's performance, in other words, she was extremely suspicious of King Chun. Of course, the emperor had noticed this a long time ago, but the Empress Dowager Cixi never said a word, directly expressing her precautions against King Chun.The emperor felt that if such ambiguous and chaotic doubts were not eliminated, the future situation would be extremely difficult.Not only will he be easily offended, but even the estrangement between the deep palaces and mansions is deepening, which is not the blessing of the family and the country. Therefore, the emperor blurted out: "My son is strange, why didn't Prince Chun have a memorial at that time?" Hearing this, the Empress Dowager Cixi took a deep look at him, nodded slowly and approvingly, "Your question is on the key point. You have improved in the matter!" The Empress Dowager Cixi turned to look at Li Lianying and said : "Go! Bring me the small iron box in the first drawer on the right side of my dressing table." "yes!" As soon as Li Lianying left, the Empress Dowager Cixi said to the emperor: "Prince Chun was involved in the whirlpool at the time, so it is inconvenient to say anything. Fortunately, he has already said it. When Li Lianying comes back, you will know." Li Lianying came very quickly, bringing with her an extremely exquisite small iron box, gold-plated and chiseled. It was a jewelry box presented by the Queen of England. It had a lock but no key. Like a safe, it used a turntable lock.While thinking about it, Empress Dowager Cixi played with her hands, turned left and right for a long time, and finally opened the box. "Look!" Empress Dowager Cixi said, "Without Wu Dacheng's memorial, I won't show it to you today. It's best that you never have to read it, and nothing will happen to you." The emperor took it over in horror and solemnity, opened it and saw that it was the memorial of King Chun, so he looked at the end first, the date was the eighth day of the first month of the first year of Guangxu, fourteen years ago. "You read it aloud, and I will listen to it again." "Yes!" The emperor said calmly: "I have seen that the kings who inherited the great tradition in the past dynasties admired their own parents, and they are recorded in the history books. Among them, there are some who are right and right. Song Xiaozong's unchanging son Chengxiu was awarded the title of King Xiu." After reading this, the emperor couldn't help but stop, because this was King Chun's inauguration, and he had something to say.When it comes to the entry of the side branch into the Datong, it is not about Song Yingzong's "Pu Yi", or Ming Shizong's "Great Li Yi", I don't know there is also the story of Song Xiaozong. The emperor only remembered that starting from Song Xiaozong, the emperor line of the Song Dynasty returned to the Changfang, that is, from Taizong to the Taizu line.After Xiaozong became the youngest son of the Taizu King Defang of Qin, his biological father was named Zicheng. How he got the title of King Xiu, I can't remember. "Why don't you read it anymore?" asked the Empress Dowager Cixi. "My son is thinking, what happened to Prince Xiu?" The emperor replied, "My son read "History of the Song Dynasty", but he didn't pay attention." "Let me tell you." The Empress Dowager Cixi leaned back, sitting more comfortably, holding a cup of tea in both hands, and said leisurely: "The world of the Song Dynasty is the world of Zhao Kuangyin. His elder brother's foundation, so Jin Bing went to Kaifeng, the second emperor was dusted, and his descendants were scattered. This is retribution!" The emperor had read "The Chronicle of Song History", and he remembered the historical facts of this so-called "Golden Chamber Alliance" very clearly.At that time, Empress Dowager Du was based on the principle of the country's long-term lord, and her will determined the order of succession, and brothers, uncles and nephews would evolve in order.Brother Zhao Guangyi's last brother and later should be passed on to Wei Wang Tingmei, and then Yan Wang Dezhao, and the world will return to the descendants of Taizu.As a result, Zhao Guangyi betrayed the alliance, and the sixth pass was passed to Huizong, and Jin soldiers invaded the bandits, and the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed.One hundred and fifty years later, two things that were originally irrelevant, now merged together because of the Empress Dowager Cixi's soft sentence "This is retribution", the emperor couldn't help being shocked, thinking that heaven will pay back, and retribution is not good vigilance. "Song Shi Nandu, Gaozong only had one son. When he was three years old, he had a convulsion, and his life was not saved. Gaozong never had an heir. At that time, Empress Wu was traveling from Jiangxi to Hangzhou, and had a strange dream." The Empress Dowager Cixi paused and said, "What kind of strange dream is this? No one knows. It is always nothing more than karma, and the dream warns. If Emperor Gaozong can't repent and make up for his ancestors, there must be a big disaster. This strange dream , Empress Wu said to Gaozong, and Gaozong decided to take the world back to the descendants of Taizu. To visit the descendants of Taizu, the first thing to ask for is the generation of "Bo", which is Gaozong's nephew; the second is to be seven years old The following; the third is to be virtuous. As a result, ten were selected in the primary election, and two were selected in the re-election, one fat and one thin.The fat one is a blessing, so it is natural to take advantage. " "That's Xiaozong?" "No!" Empress Dowager Cixi took a sip of tea and continued calmly: "The thin one was rewarded with three hundred taels of silver, and was about to send it away. Gaozong suddenly said, 'Look carefully!' Just look at it again. Two They stood there side by side, and a cat passed under their feet, and the thin one ignored it, and the fat boy was naughty, and kicked him with one kick, which kicked his emperor off." "What's the matter?" the emperor asked with great interest. "This is called 'observing people in a subtle way'." The Empress Dowager Cixi emphasized her tone a little, which made this sentence have a sense of instruction.Then he said: "At that time, Li Zong said to the left and right: 'This cat walked by occasionally, and it never hindered him. Why kick it? Its nature is so frivolous, and it will be able to rule the world in the future?' So I left the skinny one. Come down, this is Song Xiaozong. Now let’s talk about Xiaozong’s father, the son of King Fengxiu.” Zicheng is Gaozong’s elder brother.In the first year of Emperor Huizong's Xuanhe, the imperial family passed the "she test" and transferred to "Jiaxing Pi". This year, a son was born, named Bo Cong, who became Xiaozong later.Bo Cong was selected to be educated in the palace, and sons and fathers are more precious than sons, but they were only promoted to the fifth rank official, and died of illness more than ten years later.At that time, Bo Cong was granted the title of Prince of Pu'an County, and Zi Chengen bestowed him the title of Prince's Young Master.The king of Pu'an County was established as the prince, and Zicheng was later named king. Because Jiaxing was also called Xiuzhou, he was named Xiuwang. "Later Gao Zong's inner Zen, Xiao Zong became the emperor. King Xiu is his biological father, shouldn't he also be honored as emperor?" Empress Dowager Cixi took a deep look at the emperor, as if aggressively waiting for an answer. The emperor was most afraid of her wink, so he lowered his head naturally, and silently recited the words on King Chun's Memorial: "There is someone who is right and right, and Emperor Xiaozong of Song Dynasty did not change his son Cheng Xiuwang's title." !” Suddenly realized, Chun Wang voluntarily stated that he had absolutely no wrong thoughts. Since my father has this intention, and there is absolutely no possibility of changing the title of Prince Jin, then be smart! The emperor thought so. "Regardless of state affairs and personal favors, from which point of view, it is right not to change the king's title." "Oh," Empress Dowager Cixi seemed surprised, "You seem to have a lot of truth to say?" "Yes! My son doesn't dare to say it's a great truth." The emperor replied, "In terms of personal favors, Xiaozong entered the palace at the age of seven and was raised by Meng Gao religion. The position? The virtue of tailoring is better than that of a biological father. At that time, Gaozong’s inner Zen retreated to Deoksugung Palace, if Xiaozong pursued King Xiu as emperor, and called it ‘Huang Kao’, wouldn’t it hurt the heart of the old man?” "Well, this is a personal favor. What about state affairs?" "The Song family traveled to the south, in a situation of partial security, and everything is quiet. If you pursue King Xiuxiu as emperor, if you don't agree with the etiquette, someone will write a letter to argue, just like the "Pu Yi" in the Yingzong Dynasty. It is not a blessing for the country. .” After the Empress Dowager Cixi listened quietly, a calm expression appeared on her face, "What you said is very clear. Now we should really put the country's affairs first!" She said: "Go on and listen to your 'Seventh Uncle' Makes sense." So, the emperor went on to read the memorial of King Chun: "There is a way of great chaos, Song Yingzong's 'Pu Yi', Ming Shizong's 'Yi Li' is also true. Zhang Cong and Gui E's couple are not enough to talk about; loyalty like Han Qi is contradictory to Sima Guang's discussion! What is the reason? Because when something extraordinary happens, the commentators are bound to be confused. Although they are upright, they are not without their own people, and they use this as a tool to force their masters to regard them as Zhuang theorists. A lot more." "Not many." The Empress Dowager Cixi interrupted suddenly and said, "Now there is only Wu Dachen. He used the imperial edict of Qianlong as a shield. Can you say that he is not a 'Zhuang Lun'? Thanks to your seventh uncle who saw it. A pocket can plug his mouth. Read it again!I remember this being the time to mention you. " The Empress Dowager Cixi remembers correctly, and the following is the matter of the emperor's entry into the Datong: "To compliment the emperor's Qing Dynasty, he was ordered by heaven, and the sages were inherited from each other. Ten dynasties are in one line, and they are extremely prosperous, and they are rare in ancient times. Emperor Mu Zongyi The Spring and Autumn Period was in full bloom, and the subjects were abandoned. The Empress Dowager put the ancestral temple and the country as the most important thing, and specially appointed the emperor to inherit the great unification. I just think that at this time, I will listen to the government behind the curtain, and I will simply use the virtuous. Since the court discussion is in the middle, the heresy must be hidden. If in the future, after the pro-government, there may be new recruits who will take the shortcut of worshiping the prime minister for six years, and use alarming stories to stir up the world. Cong. Unfortunately, if there is a slight decline, the court will be full of troubles!" After reading this, the emperor remembered the story of Zhang Cong's six years of work from a new Jinshi to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the University of Jinshendian. !" "I wanted you to make up your own mind." The Empress Dowager Cixi said with emotion: "I don't want Cao Mao to be a newcomer, but he has been an official for decades, but he is so impetuous." This is to blame Wu Dacheng.The emperor paused for a while, and seeing that the Empress Dowager Cixi had nothing to say, he continued to read: "He Wuyang begs the Empress Dowager to take this subject and keep it in the palace. Afraid of the original intention. For thousands of years, don't change it again. " King Chun's suggestion not only stops here, but also has more intense words: "If anyone advances with the theory of Zhiping in the Song Dynasty and Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, he must be regarded as a treacherous villain, and he will be reprimanded immediately. Dare the emperor disobey? It is not only the preservation of the reputation of humble ministers, but also the opportunity for the ups and downs of gentlemen and villains, which is really the most important and important. All humble ministers share their foolish opinions, and Yu Du Jinren's nonsensical arguments are respectful. With playing, pray for kindness." The original melody was finished, because it contained the words "Guo Meng's benevolent order is strict, the emperor dare not obey it", so the emperor then asked for instructions, in addition to announcing the original song, should Wu Dacheng be dismissed? "No need!" The Empress Dowager Cixi's attitude was very peaceful, "At first I didn't even want to show this booklet, but now it seems that it seems that your seventh uncle has hit the mark! Since Wu Dacheng has such a saying, it seems that the original booklet has to be ignored. Copying. Scholars value reputation, and if your Seventh Uncle's notebooks are copied, Wu Dacheng may retire himself."
