On the first day of the ninth month, the ceremony of worshiping the crown prince was held in the front hall of Weiyang Palace, which was particularly grand, before the ceremony began, Xiao Wangzhi, who had just been summoned into the palace by the Son of Heaven and promoted to the "confessor", began to guide the hundred officials, so that they could find their own position.The great Sima Wei general Ren Hong came, and the gold seal and purple ribbon on his waist were flicked, and the people in the palace wanted to come over to please the guide, but Ren Hong rejected them, and singled out Xiao Wangzhi, who was unwilling to cling to the powerful."
You are Lanling Xiao Changqian?"
Xiao Wangzhi, who has a slender figure and a long beard, said: "Xi'an Hou actually knows the villain." ”"Who doesn't know that he once consulted the general and was suppressed by the Huo family?"
Ren Hong actually directly said Xiao Wangzhi's past: This Xiao Wangzhi is a native of Lanling in the East China Sea, studious, governing Qi poetry, following the postdoctoral cang, as a student in Taichang to be employed, and from the Xiahou Shengwen Analects who hid and fled in the folk after Liu He was deposed, the Confucians of Beijing praised him very much, thinking that he and Wei Xiang were both future Confucians.When the general summoned Confucianism, it was the time when Shangguan Yu was haunted, and he was very vigilant, but all the officials and people who met him had to strip off their clothes and be exposed for examination, which was the treatment of Xia Dingmao entering the Huo Mansion.As a result, all the Confucians, who have always prided themselves on their dignity, obediently took off their clothes, but Xiao Wangzhi did not want to be humiliated, so he voluntarily left the cabinet, and was stopped by the guards and had a dispute, but was summoned by Huo Guang, and also advised Huo Guang, saying that treating the people of the world who came to see him like this might not be the courtesy of the Duke of Zhou to bow and spit.As a result, the general was not very happy, and Xiao Wangzhi was not appointed, and other peers were made up for the history of the general, in three years, one of them was named Wang Zhongweng, and the official was given to the Guanglu doctor, Xiao Wangzhi was assigned to shoot the Jiake as a lang, but was assigned to guard the east gate of Xiaoyuan.Wang Zhongweng went in and out, hugged him back and forth, raised his toes, and said to Xiao Wangzhi: "You don't want to act as usual, how did you do it as a janitor!"
”Xiao Wangzhi said: "Everyone has their own ambitions. ”He later left Chang'an and went to Henan County to be a subordinate of Wei Xiang, so when Ren Hong entered Chang'an, he had never met this person.And now that the Huo family has fallen, all the Confucians who used to cling to Huo Guang have been dismissed, and those who were suppressed back then have been recalled to the court one after another, and Xiao Wangzhi is no exception, not to mention that he also has Wei Xiang, one of the heroes who "first impeached the Huo family".And Wei Xiang once severely impeached Ren Hong for not serving in the Western Regions for a long time, and he also had a complaint about the war with the Xiongnu, which can be regarded as his public political enemy, although Ren Hong has never taken this person to heart, this level of guy can be dealt with by Yang Yun, who is also among Jiuqing and Ren Dahonglu."
It's hard bones."
Ren Hong only casually talked to Xiao Wangzhi for a few words, and also refused his guidance.Xiao Wangzhi stood in place and arched his hands, and when he raised his head, Ren Hong was already walking and couldn't see his figure.Because Ren Hong's location is too easy to find, after entering the front hall, he kept walking forward, walking to the front of the place very close to His Majesty's steps, the row on the east side of the court, and just one stop behind Zhang Anshi.There is a Zhang Anshi in front, and a long slip in the back, among which there are many of his old departments, this face gives the officials in soapy clothes in the western row, especially Wei Xiang, Liang Qiuhe and other Confucian officials an illusion: As long as the Marquis of Xi'an waits for the general to move forward after the old man, he is the second general Huo!
Wei Xiang, the court lieutenant in the queue on the west side, exchanged glances with Dr.
Liang Qiuhe, but he didn't dare to speak.Liu Xun was resolute, and after he arrived with the eldest son of the emperor, Liu Quji, the ceremony of canonization soon began, and the confessor led the crown prince, who was less than three years old, to sit under His Royal Highness, facing the north.After that, Wei Xian, who was re-appointed as the Taichang, read the policy to the prince, and after the book was read, Du Tuo, the middle attendant, held the crown prince's seal and gave the crown prince the baby was too small, and the gold seal could not be moved, so it was hung around his neck.Liu Quji's eyes are very similar to his mother Xu Pingjun, watery and innocent, holding the gold seal in front of him with a pair of small hands, he was a little at a loss, and he even taught him many times, turned to the emperor's location and then bowed to the capital of Sanji.Just because he has lived in a quiet place with Xu Pingjun for the past two years, he has rarely been watched by so many uncles, and he is a little hesitant, and he wants to cry when he pouts."
Don't cry.Liu Xun didn't care about any rules or regulations, he felt sorry for his son, so he came down in person and picked him up at once.Let the ministers look at each other, they have just become accustomed to responding to every call, and they rely on themselves to kill Liu Xun, who returned to Weiyang Palace to quell the rebellion, such a tender husband is really rare.Xiao Wangzhi reacted quickly, and hurriedly praised: "The crown prince is sick!"
”, the confessor called the system "can"!
Hurriedly end the ceremony.The three dukes represent the promotion of hundreds of officials, long live the birthday, say that it is the three dukes, in fact, there are four people, in addition to the prime minister Bingji, the imperial historian Yu Dingguo, the two big Simas share the title of captain, Ren Hong got closer and saw Liu Xun holding the crown prince on the king's couch, coaxing him in a low voice, and when he looked up and saw the four people, he was only a little embarrassed."
Let Zhu Qing laugh, sometimes the husband loves his son more than the woman.Ren Hong can understand Liu Xun's love for his eldest son, in addition to his love for Xu Pingjun, there is also a kind of compensation psychology In the past two years, in order to confuse the Huo family, he ignored Xu Pingjun's mother and son, and the eldest princess Liu Xiang, whom he has always loved, was estranged, and the newborn eldest son of the emperor was only hugged once on the day he was born.After the next two years, he almost didn't see him, but poor Liu Quji didn't recognize his father after the drastic changes in Chang'an, and only saved the corners of Xu Pingjun's clothes, afraid of this murderous "father" who had just rushed out of Jianzhang Palace.Out of compensation, in the past five months, it is said that the Son of Heaven often led the emperor's eldest son to sleep, Liu Qu was sick, and he also tasted the decoction himself, suspicious of ghosts, for fear that someone would harm him."
Don't let this crown prince spoil you."
Ren Hong thought so in his heart, in fact, he was often taught by Yaoguang, saying that he "doted" on his son Ren Bai, and he was a loving father, but he expected others to be a strict father, but he was often in tears when he looked at Liu Quji, but no one could say whether he could grow up and become a weapon.Ren Hong can only comfort himself that acquired education is more important than congenital.At least, because of the butterfly effect, this child was born so many years late, and there is an extra sister in front of him, and the embryo is completely different from the Han Yuan Emperor in history.Ren Hong couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It's hard to say, even Wang Zhaojun has become a man, and like me, it's not impossible to go out of the fortress to marry a princess of Fanbang and come back.""
There is nothing to fight for in the crown prince's place, there is no suspense, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is the Son of Heaven preparing for Xu Jieyu to be crowned queen.The establishment of the prince is for the sake of the son and the mother, and the name is justified after the establishment, after all, Queen Huo committed suicide, although she is innocent, but immediately corrected, there will always be people who make irresponsible remarks.Prime Minister Bingji was the first to mention: "Your Majesty, in a few days, you will take the crown prince to the temple of the ancestors of the past dynasties, and the officials of the imperial palace must be set up early, especially the prince and the prince, it is even more indispensable, you might as well decide early!"
Wei Xian, who was standing at the bottom, heard this, and began to exchange glances with Wei Xiang, Liang Qiuhe and other ministers who had nothing to do with him.That's right, although there is no controversy about the choice of the prince, there is suspense about who will be the prince and the prince!"
Whoever teaches the sons of the three kings will be rejoicing in courtesy.Set up the Taifu and the young master to raise him, and want him to know the way of the father and son. ”"The way of the Taifu to judge the father and the son and the monarch and the minister is to show it, and the young master is judged by the son of the world to observe the virtues of the Taifu.The Taifu is in front, the young master is in the back, and there is a guarantee when you enter, and there is a teacher when you go out. ”After all, Liu Xun still did not decide on the candidate for the crown prince on the spot, but after the ceremony of worshiping the crown prince, Wei Xian, Wei Xiang and Liang Qiuhe got together and began to talk about the matter.After the general Huo Guangxu, it was not only the two of them who danced happily, but also the Confucians, the first minister of Wei impeached the Huo family, and Wei Xian, who had already deposed the prime minister, entered the Changle Palace on the night of turmoil and rubbed the merits of the empress dowager, as for Liang Qiuhe, this early when Huo Guang was in the middle of the day, he predicted the death of Huo Guang and the decline of the Huo family, and he was a well-valued prophet.Wei Xiang also brought the confessor Xiao Wangzhi, just because Xiao Wangzhi was his subordinate in Henan County, and after returning to the court, he easily recommended this little official who had spoken out when he met the general Huo Guang.Seeing that the "Zhongzheng" in the court and the central government were all together, Wei Xian said: "If filial piety is wrong for the prince and the prince with the art of good punishment, then filial piety is good for spells.""
Xiaojing takes the old Confucian Weijuan as the prince and the prince, and he is filial piety and good at Confucianism."
Confucianism attaches the most importance to acquired education, believing that teachers can influence a person's life, especially the prince and the prince, so it is necessary to choose the right person from the beginning.Wei Xian said meaningfully: "General Huo Da has controlled the government for many years, so that the ministers of the utilitarian border have flooded the court, and there has been no change so far.The past cannot be traced, and the latter can still be changed.Therefore, as a person who is the crown prince and the prince, it is best to be a Confucian scholar, so that the crown prince can be immersed in the theory of a saint since childhood.After destroying the Huo family, he also showed his goodwill to Confucianism, and quoted the Confucian scriptures in the edict: "Filial piety and younger brothers, it is the foundation of benevolence!"
”Then the virtuous and virtuous Fangzheng took the surname of pro-Wan, so that the county and the country were filial piety, and the younger brother had a righteous person in the township, and announced the expansion of Taixue's enrollment, increasing the number of doctoral disciples from dozens to hundred.But in addition, the emperor did not put the Confucian scholars in the vacated important positions, and the people who served were still "utilitarian ministers" in their eyes.For example, Ren Hong.This disappointed them a little.On the one hand, the Confucians hoped to rehabilitate the Confucian scholars who were suppressed during the Huo Guang period and let them return to Chang'an, and on the other hand, they wanted to create a scene of the Zhongzheng Dynasty and try their best to straighten the emperor.In addition, it is necessary to occupy a place beside the prince as soon as possible and become his teacher.Liang Qiu He then said: "I think that too often can be the prince and the prince, Jun is proficient in the Five Classics, known as Zou Lu Confucian, dedicated to learning, and once for the prince Zhan Shi, teaching filial piety and Lu poetry, also for the Changxin Shaofu, teaching the Empress Dowager Sutras, so filial piety and the Empress Dowager are good Confucianism.""
The old man is old, and he can't teach for a few years, and by the time the prince is enlightened, I may have passed away."
Wei Xian knew very well that he was no longer able to rejuvenate himself in the political arena, so it would be better to choose someone who would succeed in Chang'an as soon as possible.He thinks that Liang Qiuhe is good, this Langya man from the East China Sea is easy to learn, because of the earthquake the year before last, he became a doctor, predicted the death of the general, and was very valued by the emperor.Liang Qiuhe hurriedly excused himself, thinking that it was more likely that Wei Xiang, the court commander, would be more likely."
The first person to advocate the establishment of a prince is a weak man!"
In addition to the impeachment of Ren Hong, Wei Xiang's political acumen is very high.Xiao Wangzhi also agreed, and said a sentence that offended many Confucian students: "I don't know if you can find out that although Your Majesty learns Confucianism, he is also good at punishment, especially like pragmatic officials, although Wei Tingwei is virtuous and virtuous in learning, but he is famous for being a follower in Henan's Taishou Appointment" Not only them, but even other doctors of the Five Classics are also discussing, and the Confucian ministers of the Manchu Dynasty have stretched their necks, hoping to influence the prince and the future of the Han Dynasty.In addition, they are also faintly wary of whether Ren Da Sima, who has made great contributions to Huo Zhongzhong, will become Huo Guang's second, in order to restrain checks and balances, they must be vigilant as early as possible, I believe this, the emperor also understands.As a result, when the edict of the Son of Heaven came down and announced the selection of the crown prince and the prince, everyone was dumbfounded.This is a guy who is regarded by them as a "utilitarian minister", and he is very close to the Ren Party that is gradually gaining momentum.But they wanted to object, but they all shut up, like a fish in their throats, and did not dare to say a word.I have to applaud in unison!
Because to teach the prince the way of fathers and sons, no one is more suitable than this one!"
Zhongjie Hou Suwu is the crown prince!"
In the Jianzhang Palace, when Xu Jieyu asked suspiciously, why was he not looking for a Confucian scholar like Zhang He did when he found a teacher for Liu Xun, but Liu Xun smiled and said: "I knew it when I was in the people, and vulgar Confucianism is out of place, but it is good that the past is not the present, which makes people dazzled by the name and the truth, and does not know what to do, not only is the government not enough to appoint, not to mention my prince!"
”PS: I've tried my best, I'm tired and paralyzed, don't scold me a minute late, I don't even have the strength to say in the group, good night.
