"I, Rong Ning's second house, all misjudged him!"
Jia Zheng looked ashamed and lowered his head. Thinking of his brother's words of "behaving well even if you get an advantage", he felt his face burning with shame.
This is the feeling of being blinded by light, it is too bright.
Not only Jia Zheng felt morally ashamed of himself, but also some young officials in science and education felt proud, their faces were excited, and they were ready to move.
Chen Duan, the imperial censor of Jiangnan Province, was tall and tall, handsome in appearance, and had graceful eyes. He was the second-level Jinshi of the Chongping Dynasty. He said: "I congratulate the Holy Emperor. The Holy Emperor is alive, spreading rites and music to rule the world, and spreading good governance in Jiuzhou. , the subjects are as pure as the sun and the moon, advocating justice."
Xu Mi, the censor of Shanxi Province, and Yang Wenxuan, the censor of Henan Province, all came forward to report on the six subjects.
There was rare peace in the Hanyuan Palace. These noisy officials were all talking about the same thing, and the censors in the palace all turned a blind eye.
how to say,
Even Jia Heng underestimated the positive significance of this move for Chen Han's political policy.
Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, there have actually been debates surrounding the issue of governing the country with etiquette and law.
Throughout ancient times, from the Western Zhou Dynasty's "Government with virtue, and virtue to match heaven", the Qin Dynasty's "rule by law" and "severe punishments and severe punishments", the Han Dynasty's morality was the mainstay and punishment was auxiliary, and then the Tang Dynasty's "morality" "Ritual is the foundation of politics and religion, and punishment is the purpose of politics and religion." It can be said that with the development of China's feudal society, moral education has gradually been brought to the same level as the law, or even exceeds the level of the legal system.
Even in later generations, there is a saying that "the law calms the world and virtue nourishes the people's hearts."
Chen Han started from the "Ming Xing Bi Jiao" of the previous Ming Dynasty and followed the "ruling the world with filial piety" of the previous Han Dynasty. He also reproduced the idea of governing the country of "morality is the mainstay and punishment is supplementary, and etiquette and law are integrated."
The above just shows that the feudal society's education of morality and people's hearts was even more important than the rule of law in many periods!
As far as Jia Heng's resignation is concerned, it is undoubtedly... a "big star" was released.
This has never happened in the hundreds of years since the Chen Han Dynasty!
You don't need an official position, but you can still say that you are just asking for fame. The preschooler has repeatedly failed to get the job, and it seems that you are just asking for fame.
There was even a night or two where they maliciously speculated that you were unwilling to be loyal to the king, or were you harboring resentment?
As a result, you don’t even want the title?
This man's brains... No, he has a high moral character and integrity. He can be remembered in history and be established as a moral model.
"I am stupid and straightforward..."
Emperor Chongping had a noble expression on his majestic face, and his calm gaze passed over the civil and military officials in the palace. Although he was satisfied in his heart, he pretended to be embarrassed on his face, and sighed: "My lords, I am also in a dilemma. I have the intention of approving it, but the imperial edict has issued It has been made known both at home and abroad, and has been spread to all provinces. If the decree is changed, is it suspected of changing it overnight? If it is not changed, wouldn't it be a failure of Jia Heng's unwavering ambition?"
Chen Duan, the censor of Jiangnan Province, bowed and said: "I am presumptuous and dare not agree with this statement. When the Holy Emperor is alive, the world is imbued with virtue. Just like the rule of the three generations, the people are humble, know etiquette, respect etiquette and righteousness, and respect temperance. How can the saints and virtuous people be respected? He said, "A gentleman has the beauty of a man, and the Holy One praises his virtues, and spreads them to the world, so that the people of the world can hear about them. How can there be any suspicion that the emperor may change his orders in the morning and at night?"
He Juncheng, the Minister of Etiquette, nodded when he heard this, and said to himself, although Chen Ruxian was not elected to the Hanlin Academy, he was well versed in etiquette and righteousness. If he had chosen the Etiquette Department and failed, he would have been unable to do anything compared to what he did in Jiangnan Road. The place is much better.
The censors of Henan Province, Shanxi Province, and Zhejiang Province also came out one after another and said: "I second the proposal."
Then the six ministers, ministers and nine ministers also came out one after another to report and second the proposal.
The nobles and nobles of Wu Xun on the side also came out one after another to second the proposal.
This is what people want, to put makeup and powder on the face of the emperor, to add glory to the temples and palaces, and to add glory to the princes. If you remain silent and don't express your stance, it will make no sense, and it will also look garish.
"Like the rule of three generations..."
Emperor Chongping's eyes froze as he listened to Chen Duan's words below. He felt his cheeks were a little hot at these words, but fortunately his thin, cold face did not show any signs of it.
Emperor Chongping was silent for a moment and said loudly: "What Chen Qing said is not unreasonable."
This is what he said.
"Long live my holy emperor, long live long live." In the palace, a cry of long live came from the mountains, and the sound shook the roof tiles.
Jia Zheng was leaning against the threshold of the hall, feeling inexplicable, when he suddenly saw the doctor in front of him, the Minister of Food and Cleaning of the Ministry of Industry. Qin Ye suddenly bowed and saluted. He also quickly suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart and saluted accordingly.
"I have drafted the edict, Jia Heng's ambition, and I have approved it. I will send the "Cijue Table" to China and foreign countries along with the edict. The Ministry of Rites will publish it in the Hongwen Hall, and the Hanlin Academy will write down the records of virtuous affairs in detail, so that the officials and the common people can follow it. As for Ning Guo Incense and sacrifice..." When Emperor Chongping mentioned this, he looked sad and sighed.
How can we show mercy to the meritorious officials and show favor to their nobility? How can we allow Ning Guogong to worship Jiuquan without any incense?
This is the real difficulty of reason.
At this moment, Jia Zhengqing coughed, held a jade wat in his hand, and walked out of the class. He said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, Jia Zheng, a member of the Ministry of Industry, is here to start."
Emperor Chongping's face paused, and he cast a pair of majestic eyes on Jia Zheng, with some doubts in his eyes.
Zhao Yi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry in front, glared at Jia Zheng and said to himself, this 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 red, and he suddenly knelt down, bowed his head and said: "Ning Guo lost his title, the Holy Emperor's grace is so great, and he gave it to you by another decree. The whole Jia clan is deeply moved and bursts into tears with gratitude! Now Jia Ziyu refuses to accept his resignation. The government is of the lineage of the Rongguo, and it is really shameful and shameful. Now the incense of Ningguo has not been continued, and the government is dull. I am afraid that I would like to ask the Holy One to have mercy on the ancestors of Ningguo and enshrine it in the ancestral temple through Heng."
It has to be said that Father Zheng invisibly helped the emperor solve the emotional dilemma. Originally, after the emperor showed mercy to the hero, he couldn't bear to cut off the incest of the hero.
Moreover, Jia Zheng is equivalent to inviting Jia Heng's archway back to Jia's house.
When Emperor Chongping heard this, he looked at the Minister of Rites with a silent expression and asked: "Is there anything inconsistent with the rites in this matter? I remember that Jia Zhen has a son, right? Moreover, how did I hear that Jia Heng was eliminated by the Jia family? I already have clan membership? Can I still be the clan leader?"
As soon as this statement came out, the whole palace was in an uproar. Are you going to expel your clan status?
Is the Jia family frustrated and crazy?
Even Wang Shuirong of Beijing and other relatives and friends of the Jia family looked at Jia Zheng with big frowns.
What the Jia family did was simply stupid!
Eliminate clan status? Now all the civil and military officials of the dynasty have to hang up Jia Heng as a memorial arch. Your family name has been removed?
How can a person who is not tolerated by the clan resign his title and be courteous like the ancient virtuous people?
Like the rule of three generations?
This clan... is truly evil!
Here, Jia She really did not inform King Beijing Shui Rong of the removal of Jia Heng’s clan membership in advance. In other words, when he accidentally mentioned it, King Beijing and Prince Nan’an did not take it seriously. Something happened.
Until the "Resignation List" was issued, fame was added to it, and now it seems ridiculous to remove the clan membership.
When Jia Zheng heard this, his body trembled, and he kowtowed again. He knocked his head with a black gauze official hat on the floor, and said in a choked voice: "Ning Rong, the second house, was deceived before, but the matter of extermination of clan status , it has not been completed, as the Holy Spirit clearly shows.”
Qin Ye, a doctor from the Ministry of Industry, who was standing in front, heard the sound of kowtows on the side and glanced at Jia Zheng from the corner of his eye, with some pity in his eyes.
On that day, he watched his son-in-law with his own eyes. It took him a moment to write a book about his resignation, and by the way, he used his memorial.
I had a premonition at that time that once this list came up, it would cause an uproar in the court.
The key is not the "Resignation Table". Although this thing did not exist in the dynasty, it did exist in the history books, but it was later proved... Don't treat people as fools and play retreat. Everyone doesn't say it in words, but in their hearts Everyone knows what's going on.
Readers are very capable of reading comprehension.
Precisely because Jia Heng wrote the memorial sincerely, he really wanted to resign.
In the hearts of all the civil and military personnel, you are actually being serious?
This is like discovering a "fool". Come and take a look, this man is simply... high-spirited and upright, the style of ancient wise people.
After hearing this, Emperor Chongping looked at Jia Zheng, pondered for a moment, and said, "Jia Qing, please get back on your feet."
Then, he cast a pair of majestic eyes on He Juncheng, the Minister of Rites, and said: "Congratulations."
He Juncheng, the Minister of Rites, cupped his hands and said: "Although the criminal officer Zhen has an heir, the crime committed by Zhen is to collude with the bandits and commit crimes against the capital. It is suspected of being disrespectful. Since it is one of the ten evil things, her son has no heir. However, Heng is a virtuous and virtuous person who can be convinced by others. Now everyone in the prosperous country has repeatedly begged for his promotion. I ask the Holy Spirit to grant his request and grant it."
He is only virtuous and virtuous, and he can convince others. Even people from Rongguo came out to let Jia Heng inherit the incense of Ningguo and become the leader of the Jia clan. This is simply strong evidence.
It can be said that he 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 had hinted at Jia Zheng?
Then, Emperor Chongping did not make any "additional steps". Some things, as long as they are man-made and seamless, will be discovered by others.
At that time, it was a political scandal.
Emperor Chongping took a deep look at Jia Zheng and said, "It's what you're playing."
Jia Zheng almost burst into tears. He bowed his head and bowed again: "I thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
Han Huang, the Second Assistant to the Cabinet, watched this scene with a calm expression and deep eyes.
He thought to himself that Jia Cunzhou was doing something wrong. Only in this way can the reputation of the Jia clan be made up for.
Compared with others, others may think that Jia Zheng is scheming, but Han Huang, the official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, knows almost everything about Jia Zheng's temperament and skills.
He is not familiar with common affairs and is good at talking about false Taoism.
Well, that's right.
Emperor Chongping said: "Now that this matter is over, we will draft a decree and submit it to the six ministries."
Chen Hancheng Ming system, the cabinet drafts the edict and signs it, and conveys it to six departments. The six departments have the right to refute the matter. When the six departments also sign, it will be an imperial edict that can be recorded and checked.
Undisputed and supreme legal effect.
The general idea of the decree is basically "Resign the title, honor him, but I pity the meritorious officials and cannot bear to cut off the incense, and use Heng as the heir."
This means that no one in the world can find fault with it.
I can give up the title, but my ancestors can’t give up, right?
Allowing Jia Heng to offer incense to his ancestors as the patriarch is the glory of the emperor's grace and the greatest praise for his filial piety. This is a model of virtuous government.
Anyone who dares to make any remarks is violating human ethics and being crazy.
