The Red Mansions

Chapter 113

Chapter 113

"My Rongning Second Mansion misunderstood him!"

Jia Zheng looked ashamed and lowered his head, thinking of his elder brother's words of "becoming a good boy if you get cheap", he felt his face burning hot and he was so ashamed that he couldn't bear it.

This is the feeling of being dazzled by the light of personality, it is too bright.

It wasn't just Jia Zheng who felt ashamed of his morals, but also some young officials who spoke in science and ethics, all felt honored, their faces were excited, and they were about to move.

Chen Duan, the censor of Jiangnan Road, tall and straight, handsome in description, and elegant in eyes, was a second-class Jinshi in the Chongping Dynasty. He said: "I congratulate you on behalf of the Holy Emperor. The Holy Emperor is alive. He governs the world with rites and music, and Bude governs in Kyushu. , the subjects are as clean as the sun and the moon, advocating integrity!"

Xu Mi, the censor of Shanxi Province, and Yang Wenxuan, the censor of Henan Province, came out to report on the affairs of the six subjects.

It is rare to find peace in Hanyuan Hall, these noisy officials are almost of the same caliber, and the correctional censors in the palace courtyard all turn a blind eye and close one eye.

How should I put it, even Jia Heng underestimated the positive significance of this move for Chen Hande's political education.

Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, there have actually been debates around the issue of governing the country by ritual and law.

Looking at the ancient dynasties, from the Western Zhou Dynasty's "government with virtue, and virtue with the sky", the Qin Dynasty's "government by law", "severe punishment and heavy punishment", the Han Dynasty's morality and punishment, and the Tang Dynasty's " Virtue and etiquette are the foundation of politics and religion, and punishments are used for politics and religion.” It can be said that with the development of China’s feudal society, morality, politics and education have gradually been brought up to the level of the law, or even surpassed the level of the legal system.

Even in later generations, there is a saying that "the law secures the world, and virtue nourishes the hearts of the people".

Chen Han started from the "Ming Xing Bijiao" of the former Ming Dynasty, followed the former Han "governing the world with filial piety", and also reproduced the idea of ​​​​"ruling the country with virtue and punishment, and combining ritual and law".

The above just shows that the feudal society's education on the rule of virtue, even in many periods, was above the legal system!

As far as Jia Heng's resignation is concerned, it is undoubtedly... a "David satellite".

This has never happened in the hundred years since the Chen Han Dynasty!

If you don't want an official position, you can still say that you are just asking for fame. The repeated conquests of the pre-Han Dynasty have failed, and it seems that you are suspected of trying to gain fame.

There are even one or two nights, malicious speculation, are you unwilling to be loyal to the king's affairs, or do you have resentment?

In the end, you don't even want a title?

This person's mind... No, it's just that he has a high moral character, and he can almost leave his name in history and become a model of morality.

On the majestic face of Emperor Chongping, the expression was sublime, and his calm eyes glanced at the Chinese and military officials in the palace. Although he was satisfied, he pretended to be distressed on his face, and sighed: "Masters, I am also in a dilemma, and I have the intention to agree, but the imperial edict It has been made known in China and abroad, and the mansion has been passed down to the provinces. If the decree is changed, is there any suspicion that it will be changed overnight? If it is not changed, will it not be a disappointment to Jia Heng's son, the unshakable ambition of the rock?"

Chen Duan, the imperial censor of Jiangnan Dao, bowed and said: "I am presumptuous, and dare not agree with this statement. The holy emperor is alive, and the world feels virtuous. It is like the rule of three generations. The people are humble and know the etiquette. Said, a gentleman has the beauty of a man, the sage admires his virtue and ambition, reveals it to the world, and makes the subjects of the world know it, so why do you think that the emperor's order is changed from day to day?"

Minister of Rites He Juncheng heard the words, nodded his head, and secretly thought, although Chen Ruxian was not selected to the Imperial Academy, but he was proficient in the way of etiquette and righteousness, if he had chosen etiquette at the beginning, he would be able to do nothing compared to Jiangnan Road The place is much stronger.

Henan Dao Yushi, Shanxi Dao Yushi, and Zhejiang Dao Yushi also came out one after another, saying: "The minister seconded the proposal."

Then the six ministers, ministers and Jiuqing also came out to play and seconded.

The relatives and nobles of Wu Xun on the side also came out of the class one after another, seconding the proposal.

This is what the hearts of the people want, to put makeup on the face of the emperor, and to add luster to the princes of the temple, it is unreasonable to stand still and not express his position, and it also looks garish.

"Like the rule of three generations..."

Emperor Chongping listened to Chen Duan's words below, and his eyes froze for a moment. He felt his cheeks burn a little at such words, but fortunately, his thin and cold face did not show the slightest bit.

Emperor Chongping was silent for a moment, and said loudly: "What Chen Qing said is not without reason."

This is what you say.

"My Emperor Shengming, long live, long live, long live." In the hall, the sound of Shan Huan shouting for a long time came, and the sound shook the roof tiles.

Jia Zheng was leaning against the threshold of the main hall, feeling inexplicable, when he suddenly saw the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Qin Ye, who was in front of him, and Qin Ye suddenly bowed and saluted.

"The decree is Jia Heng's ambition, and I agree with it. The "Cijue Biao" will be edicted at home and abroad. Ningguo's incense sacrifice..." Emperor Chongping said this, with a sad face, and sighed.

Pity the heroes, and show grace to their nobles. How can you allow Duke Ning to have no incense in Jiuquan?

This is the real difficulty of reason.

At this moment, Jia Zhengqing coughed, held the jade wat in his hands, and went out of the shift, tremblingly said: "Minister, Jia Zhengqi, a member of the Ministry of Industry."

Emperor Chongping's face paused, and he cast a pair of majestic eyes on Jia Zheng, with some doubts in his eyes.

Zhao Yi, Minister of the Ministry of Industry in front of him, just took a look at Jia Zheng and thought to himself, Jia Cunzhou is so ignorant!What you want to do is now a matter of discussion in the palace.

Jia Zheng's face was sad, his eyes were reddish, he knelt down suddenly, bowed his head and said: "Ningguo lost his title, the emperor's kindness is great, and he bestowed it with another decree. Everyone in the Jia family will be very grateful and grateful! Now Jia Ziyu refuses to accept it, Zheng belongs to the lineage of Rongguo, and he is really ashamed and ashamed. Now Ningguo's incense has no successor, and the government is dull. Speaking of panic, I beseech the holy majesty to commiserate with the incense of the ancestors of Ningguo, and let Heng inherit it as a sacrifice in the ancestral temple."

It has to be said that Father Zheng helped the emperor solve the dilemma of reason and reason invisibly. After the emperor took pity on the hero, he couldn't bear to cut off the incense of the hero.

Moreover, Jia Zheng is equivalent to inviting Jia Heng's memorial archway back to Jia's house.

When Emperor Chongping heard the words, his expression was silent, he looked at the Minister of Rites, and asked, "Is there something wrong with the etiquette in this matter? I remember that Jia Zhen has a son, right? Besides, how did I hear that Jia Heng was expelled from Jia's family?" Clan membership? Can I still be the patriarch?"

As soon as this remark came out, the entire hall was in an uproar, removing the family membership?

Has the Jia family lost their minds?

Even Wang Shuirong of Beijing and other relatives and friends of the Jia family, including Wang Shuirong and others, all looked at Jia Zheng with a frown.

What the Jia family did was simply stupid!

Removal of ethnicity?Now that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are going to hang up Jia Heng as a memorial archway, have you expelled your family status?

A person who is not tolerated in the clan, resigning from the title and being courteous, does he have the style of the ancient sages?

Such as the rule of three generations?

This clan... is really all villains!

Here, Jia Amnesty really did not disclose the matter of removing Jia Heng's family status to Beijing King Shui Rong in advance, or in other words, when he accidentally mentioned it at the beginning, the ears of Beijing King and Nan'an County King were like wind, so it was not taken seriously at all. thing.

Until the "Cijue Table" was published, fame was added to one's body, and now one's family status was removed, which seemed ridiculous.

Hearing this, Jia Zheng's body trembled violently, and he kowtowed again, his head wearing a black gauze official hat hit the floor heavily, and said in a choked voice: "Ning Rong's second mansion was deceived by others before, but the matter of removing the clan , did not make it, Holy Master Mingjian."

Standing in front of him, Qin Ye, a doctor from the Ministry of Industry, heard the sound of kowtowing, and glanced at Jia Zheng from the corner of his eye, with pity in his eyes.

That day, he was watching his son-in-law with his own eyes, and within a short time, the book was filled with the "Courtesy of the Lord". By the way, he used his memorial.

At that time, he had a premonition that as soon as this form was made, Yu Chaotang might cause an uproar.

The key is not the "Civilian List". Although this thing did not exist in the country, it was found in the history books, but it has been proved afterwards... Don't be a fool, play the trick of retreating, everyone doesn't talk about it, but I know what's going on in my heart.

The ability of readers to do reading comprehension is very strong.

Just because of the sincerity in Jia Heng's performance, he really wanted to resign.

In the minds of all the civil and military people, you are playing for real?

This is almost like finding a "fool", everyone, come and see, this person is simply... high-minded, the style of ancient wise people.

Emperor Chongping heard the words, looked at Jia Zheng, pondered for a while, and said, "Jia Qing, let's get back down."

Then, he cast a pair of majestic gazes at He Juncheng, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and said, "He Qing."

Minister of Rites, He Juncheng, clasped his hands and said: "Although the prisoner Zhen has children, the crimes committed by Zhen are colluding with thieves and gangsters, and acting viciously against the capital, which is suspected of great disrespect. Since it is one of the ten evils, her son has no qualifications to inherit. But Hang is only virtuous and virtuous, and he can submit to others, and the people of Rongguo have repeatedly begged to be promoted, and the old minister asked the sage to grant his request, and to grant it."

He is only virtuous and virtuous, and he can submit to others. Even the people of Rongguo came out to let Jia Heng inherit the incense of Ningguo and become the patriarch of the Jia clan. This is simply a strong proof.

It can be said that it is a model of moral inspiration.

This scene was so perfect that the Minister of Rites even had a suspicion in his heart, could it be that the emperor hinted at Jia Zheng?

Then, Emperor Chongping didn't do anything like "adding to the snake". Some things, as long as they are man-made, no matter how seamless they are, will be detected by others.

At that time, it was a political scandal instead.

Emperor Chongping took a deep look at Jia Zheng and said, "It was played by Zhunqing."

Tears filled Jia Zheng's eyes, he bowed his head and said: "Thank you, Lord Long En."

Han Huang, the second assistant to the cabinet, watched this scene calmly, with deep eyes.

He thought to himself, this Jia Cunzhou is playing the right game, only in this way can he make up for the good reputation of the Jia clan.

Compared with others, Jia Zheng may be thought to be cunning and scheming, but Han Huang, a heavenly official of the bureaucracy, has almost a clear understanding of Jia Zheng's temperament and methods.

If you don't understand general affairs, you can do false Taoism for easy talk.

Well, it's just a wrong shot.

Emperor Chongping said: "Now that this matter is over, we will draft an edict and hand it over to the six ministries."

Chen Han inherited the Ming system, the cabinet drafted an edict and attached it to the six departments, and the six departments had the right to deny and refute the matter.

Undisputed, supreme legal force.

The main idea of ​​the decree is basically "Resign from the title, and give him permission, but I sympathize with the heroes, and I can't bear to cut off the incense, so I can inherit it and so on."

This is to put it all over the world, and you can't fault it.

I can give up the title, but my ancestor can't, right?

It is the glory of the emperor's grace and the greatest praise for his filial piety for Jia Heng to offer sacrifices to his ancestors as the patriarch. This is a model of benevolent government.

Whoever dares to make a false statement is violating human relations and being insane.
