Whether Liu Daxia burned the maps of Zheng He's voyages to the West or just hid them? There are different opinions in the history books on this matter. Some researches also believe that Liu Daxia hid the maps of Emperor Yongle's expedition to Annan.
No matter what it is, Liu Daxia did something about hiding pictures when he was a doctor in the Ministry of War.
As long as he has done this, he will be an unqualified minister in Zhu Houzhao's place.
So Zhu Houzhao didn't like Liu Daxia.
Hiding pictures is not what a military doctor should do. You can admonish the emperor, but you can't destroy the plan. The civil servants also praised his stinky feet, thinking that he was a straight and loyal minister, and described his behavior as an iron-clad and glorious deed. This is to put gold on your face.
Zhu Houzhao sat down and looked at the old man who was kneeling upright. He still couldn't figure out why Emperor Hongzhi favored him. The deeds he left in history could basically be accomplished by an upright Confucian old man. , Wu Kuan and Ma Wensheng also have a bottom line.
Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian are not villains either.
"...Da Sima, what did you say to my father? It made my father depressed and his old illness relapsed."
Liu Daxia is pedantic, and pedantry means he is upright, so he will not lie. "I advise that your Majesty has paid less attention to the government recently, and has gradually become more and more lazy in government. All major and minor affairs are entrusted to the East Palace. As a result, the emperor is not the emperor, just like the emperor; the prince is not the prince. , just like the Son of Heaven, although His Highness and Your Majesty are related as father and son, they also have the relationship of monarch and minister. There is a distinction between monarch and minister, and there is an order of superiority and inferiority. If there is no order, one will lose morality, if one loses morality, one will lose the people, and if one loses the people, one will lose the world. I said this yesterday , When His Highness asked today, I still said this. But I did not intend to anger Your Majesty. As a result, I know that it is useless to feel guilty, so I can only... die to apologize!"
"Apologise with death, apologize with death." Zhu Houzhao murmured these two sentences, "I have heard too many such words in the Forbidden City. Mencius once said, sacrifice one's life for righteousness; Tai Shigong also once said that everyone is destined to die, or Heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather. Da Sima, do you think your life or death is important?"
Of course, a strong-minded scholar cannot take his own life and death too seriously. What does that sentence say? I, xx, am a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death!
"Your Majesty, how dare you put your life at risk?"
Zhu Houzhao's eyes widened angrily, and he suddenly scolded: "Then what's the use of throwing your unimportant life here?! To apologize for your sins by dying?! How can your death be an apology for your sins?!"
He spoke in a gentle voice before, but suddenly he shouted loudly, and everyone trembled with fright, even those who got up too early and were a little lost. This thunderous voice of anger also shook the mourning platform. .
The eunuchs and eunuchs who were waiting beside him and the guards on duty all knelt down at this moment.
"Liu Daxia, I just want to ask you, are you really loyal to the emperor?"
Liu Daxia was not frightened, but he was just frightened. At this moment, he still replied firmly: "Why does your highness ask such a question? I am loyal to the country, and the sun and the moon can teach me!"
"In my opinion! You are not loyal to the king. What you are loyal to is your own name after death, how the history books describe you Liu Daxia, and what others say is whether you Liu Daxia is a gentleman!"
Then the prince came down and walked among the ministers who were kneeling on the ground. He was not unhappy today, "Through the incident of Liu Daxia, I have something that I have hidden in my heart for a long time, and I have to talk to you. I have always felt that The atmosphere in the court is very strange. Just like just now, our loyal Minister of War said that he would die to apologize, but I asked him if your life and death were important, and he said it was not important. Isn't this a contradiction? Words?”….
"Liu Daxia, Gu just said that you are loyal to your own name, not to you. Are you convinced?"
"My lord, you are not convinced!"
"Okay!" Zhu Houzhao quickly turned around and walked to his side, "You are all great scholars who have read poetry and books. Naturally, you know that Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty and Wei Wenzhen were admonishing ministers. Then you should also know that Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty and Wei Wenzhen were responsible for admonishing ministers. After his death, he hated to be personally attached to his monument, why?"
[By the way, currently the best one for reading and listening to books, @
, so Tang Taizong suspected that Wei Zheng was suspected of being a private party. ” These words were returned by Xie Qian.
Zhu Houzhao asked: "What about the next sentence?"
"Later...it was also because Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty heard that Wei Zheng had shown the manuscript of his remonstrance to Emperor Taizong to the historian Chu Suiliang, which seemed...to be a famous scholar, so he was even more displeased."
"Yes, Tang Taizong and Wei Wenzhen, two famous emperors and ministers throughout the ages, were finally angry because of this. Even as wise as Tang Taizong, he couldn't bear Wei Wenzhen doing this. You gave the emperor's advice to the historian? What do you mean? Are you afraid? The historian doesn’t know how great you are and how stupid the emperor is? How powerful Emperor Taizong is, he can’t tolerate this, and Gu can’t tolerate it either!”
"Liu Daxia, think about it! The monarch is not in good health. You still say those words to anger him. After you are angry with him, you go to this hall and use your unimportant life to apologize with death. Yes, you are not afraid Death. But why are you not afraid of death? Because you know that as long as you are killed, your name will be recorded in the biographies of famous officials for thousands of generations, and our father and son will be listed among the ignorant kings and mediocre lords, and will be reviled by future generations. Can you call me Zhongjun if you have such good intentions?!"
The prince reprimanded him harshly because he hated the current political climate.
"One more thing, I have wanted to say for a long time. In June of the fifteenth year of Hongzhi, my father wanted to send troops to fight the Tatars. You reported the ten evils of military politics, saying that soldiers were as poor as the common people, and half of their pay was deducted by the generals. At that time, you had just been appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of War, so I did not pursue you. But in the 17th year of Hongzhi, my father once again talked about sending troops, and you said that the army was exhausted and the soldiers had a hard time feeding themselves, so they could not fight. Liu Daxia, you are the Minister of the Ministry of War. These things in the Ministry of War are problems under your rule. If you haven't done well, why can you justly use them as reasons for remonstrance?"
Zhu Houzhao smiled helplessly. He walked up the stairs and turned around to look down at the courtiers. "I will make it clear here today. In the future, when the cabinet, the Ministry of Personnel and the other six ministries and nine departments recommend ministers to the court or to Gu, It is not allowed to recommend ministers who have a good reputation but only good reputations! When such people come to the court, they are only thinking about how to make themselves famous in history. He is loyal to the emperor only for his own reputation. Everyone knows that women The name of Qianchen is not pleasant!"
"In the tenth year of Hongzhi, I also said that all the merits should be attributed to the superiors, and all the faults should be blamed on the subordinates. The same goes for you, take care of your own one-third of an acre, and if you don't do it well, you won't do it well. Don't flatter yourself when you need to When I want to do something wrong, I say that the emperor is wise, and when I need to find a reason for not doing a certain government job well, I say that the emperor should act with caution.”….
The prince's words seemed extremely long.
But the ministers were smart, and the prince consciously reprimanded Liu Daxia from two aspects. One was that he seemed to be loyal to the emperor, but in fact he was famous for his wealth, and the other was that he had no achievements in acting as the Ministry of War.
That is to say, whether it is virtual or real, he is not good at it.
Under this rebuke, the figure of the emperor's favorite and minister of the Ministry of War suddenly became very small in the past, so small that it might only take one word from the prince to save him.
Liu Daxia was trembling, and he also burst into grief. With tears in his eyes, he cried and said: "Your Highness said today, I have learned a lesson. Your Highness is so dissatisfied with what I have done, you can remove me from the post of Minister of the Ministry of War." !」
"What you said is wrong."
Zhu Houzhao is not that kind of stupid person. It is really not good for him to violently expel the Minister of War from the imperial court. Who's to say... A person never relies on violence to show his strength. Those who challenge this rule will inevitably be eliminated from the ranks of the strong by history. This has always been the case.
"Gu's dissatisfaction with an official has never been a reason for him to be dismissed. Min Gui, Minister of the Ministry of Justice, also said a lot of unpleasant things in Gu's ears, but Gu did not dismiss him. Why? The reason was mentioned when Gu first came to supervise the country. The imperial cabinet, the six ministries and the various yamen should do the things they are responsible for first and foremost. As for the Ministry of War specifically, if the Grand Sima is the Minister of the Ministry of War, it will be a good job. Although I don’t like you. , you won’t erase the merits, but if you don’t do well, even if I like you, the official weapons of the court cannot be given to others privately. Of course, people like you love your name more than your king, and you feel a little aggrieved. , must be ready to abandon the king and father."
"I am not irritating you. All the princes in the court are here today. Because my father, Emperor Long, is ill, I am alone.
It does annoy you a little. But Gu... I will not withdraw you today. If you are ambitious, loyal, and willing to do something for the country and the people, you can make some achievements in the position of Minister of the Ministry of War. As long as it is good for the country, no matter how much I hate this minister, I will give him all the generous salary. "
As soon as the prince's words changed, all the ministers in the court felt relieved. None of them expected that the prince could tolerate him. This was not something ordinary people could do.
However, smart people like Li Dongyang knew that the prince was not letting Liu Daxia go, but was clearly digging a hole for him.
First of all, today's matter is really difficult for the prince to do anything to a minister of the Ministry of War, because to make suggestions to the emperor... no matter whether the words are appropriate or not, at least in the hearts of many ministers, Liu Daxia is a loyal minister!
What's wrong with advising the emperor to pay more attention to the court and listen to the government?
Then who withdraws loyal ministers? Foolish king!
This is the public opinion environment of the Ming Dynasty. Don't be angry, it is useless.
But it was different after the prince's operation.
First, he was a little annoyed with Liu Daxia because the emperor was sick, so he scolded him in court. The old father was sick and his son was a little angry. Is this okay?
But after scolding him, he immediately changed his tone and said that my prince is judging by actual political achievements. You are good for the country, and I can suffer some grievances. This is called open-mindedness.
But the problem is...how could the prince let him achieve political achievements easily? No need to think about it!
Zhu Houzhao can be regarded as a person who has learned and put it into practice. He has seen with his own eyes the cruel and cruel methods of leaders.
Aren’t you, Liu Daxia, a great person? Does it have a good reputation? Okay, then I'll give you the hardest bone to chew. Just chew it off. Okay, give it a thumbs up, and then I'll give you another tough bone to chew.
You are not the protagonist of the Internet article, there will always be times when you can’t finish it. If you can't chew it off, then I'll be sorry.
Spears, broadswords, dismissal and dismissal were all available, and the charges were sufficient at that time, and the punishment would definitely be more severe than now...
This is the Forbidden City and officialdom.
Above the officialdom, there is all right and wrong, and no right and wrong.
Some things are useful, and some things are useless.
Good and bad are like wind and clouds, never fixed and even more elusive.
Do you think I can’t deal with you because you have the reputation of being a loyal minister? Let me show you what it means to be ruined!
