Ji Xiang quoted this poem. In fact, this poem is not a poem of praise or admonishment. It is a poem to invite the gods. It was originally written by Mr. Gong at the invitation of a Taoist priest. It means that the old society urgently needs a poem. Thunder and violent rain break the lifeless social situation, hoping that God can reopen his eyes and allow a large number of extraordinary talents to emerge in this world.
However, everyone has different ways of understanding poetry. Ji Xiang wrote this poem in four steps, using ten thousand horses as a metaphor for the princes, and using the God of Heaven to metaphor the emperor. In fact, there is no problem.
The sound in front of Fengtian Gate reached all directions, blowing in the morning breeze. After a short period of silence, the courtiers started a noisy discussion.
The little old man Liu Yingqiu had nothing to say, because at this time, as soon as the poem came out, he even wanted to praise Ji Xiang.
Emperor Wanli looked at his ministers and asked, "What do you think of this poem?"
He himself was very satisfied with the literary talent displayed in this poem, and felt that Ji Xiang still had a lot of big stuff in his belly.
In the first two sentences, he frowned and heard the sarcasm in them, but the next two sentences can be regarded as praise for the time being. First, the word "Tiangong" made Emperor Wanli very happy, and then the two sentences were connected together, Combined with the fact that he suddenly went to court this morning, it is indeed very appropriate.
Cheer up, that's what he really thought. If he didn't cheer up, why would he go to court today? Could it be that he was here for a storytelling session? It would be better to publish a book. Anyway, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had a lot of side jobs. , the book might be a bestseller...
This poem scolded the ministers, but not too much, and at the same time gave a subtle admonishment and a small praise to the emperor, which not only saved the emperor from losing face, but also gained him some respect.
Emperor Wanli narrowed his eyes: "I think it's still okay."
I think it's okay, Lao Liu, do you think he should be punished?
The little old man didn't say anything strange at this time, and he had a special way of responding:
"This poem was written by this son. I have nothing to say. It really suits the occasion. This poem is great!"
The little old man first praised, then nodded frequently, and then his eyes flashed:
"Your Majesty, after listening to this poem, I suddenly felt enlightened and enlightened!"
"Nowadays, criticism is prevalent in the court. People rarely talk about political affairs. Instead, they are busy attacking other people's privacy and shortcomings. They speak for the sake of criticism instead of speaking to rectify the court. The style of officialdom has been messed up!"
"The anger of Kyushu has become the spirit of death. The wind and thunder are silent and thousands of horses are making wrong noises. It is today that your Majesty returns to the court. He should vigorously rectify the princes so that the wind of Qingming will wash away the court and the public. God will be roused and let out thunder. Talented people should be promoted more. stand up!"
"May your Majesty live forever, and may our great Ming Dynasty be like the sun in the sky! Clear away the turbid miasma in the world, and make the sun, moon, mountains and rivers eternal!"
The little old man Liu Yingqiu first said that there was nothing wrong with what Ji Xiang said and that I liked his poems. Then the conversation suddenly changed and he stabbed his butt with a knife, which opened the eyes of the Yanguan Group.
The Yanguan group were all confused.
Good on you little old man!
You can kill your teammates angrily with a knife, borrow flowers to offer to Buddha, make your presence felt in front of the emperor, and switch sides in the face of battle. This set of skills of yours is worth at least twenty years!
But Lao Liu thought very simply and directly! I will fight whoever the emperor wants to fight, and I will listen to whatever the emperor says. When Your Majesty returns to the court, how can I, a fifth-rank official, upgrade myself and flatter him?
A good opportunity for promotion is coming!
"Well, that's right, Liu Yingqiu, it seems that you were chosen by the elders for your ability in the Imperial College."
Emperor Wanli Liu Yingqiu was very happy with this backhand strike, indicating that Liu was very aware of current affairs.
Ji Xiang, on the other hand, was confused. In terms of fighting skills, he would not lose to others, but when others took advantage of his pretense and angrily slapped a big dick in front of the emperor, this operation was really embarrassing for him.
"This has been decided from the fourth grade. One person will be added. Two days later, he will receive the official robe and everything."
Emperor Wanli set the position. In fact, this position is also a sinecure. It was added anyway. The elders of the Three Pavilions discussed why Ji Xiang should not be allowed to go to other departments related to sacrifices. First of all, officials in the Qintian Prison were not allowed to be transferred to other positions. Careers are not allowed to be promoted or promoted to official positions unless they are specially appointed. If there are any vacancies, they will be filled step by step by the supervisor.
There is only one position for Wudang Mountain in the Daolu Division. Taihe Mountain reminds me that Ji Xiang cannot be added to this position, and it needs Lao Zhang to seal it. Lao Zhang has not come yet.
What's more, the emperor has the final say on matters like rewards. Tao Zhongwen, the Great Demon Dao, served as the Minister of Rites, and the contemporary Lao Zhang even served as the direct room outside the Meridian Gate (Forbidden City) from the fifth to the eighteenth year of Wanli. Gatekeeper), it doesn't matter what kind of position you are given as a reward.
"Next...I have one more thing that I want to tell you."
Ji Xiang accepted the emperor's praise, but when he heard the next three words, he immediately understood that he was going to talk about Zhu Changluo next, and he had to pretend to be dumb at this time.
So Ji Xiang stepped back without saying a word, silence is golden, and stood back beside the three pavilion elders. The three pavilion elders also knew what the emperor was going to say, and now they squinted their eyes. As long as the emperor did not name them, they would be in a state of Alzheimer's disease.
What are you discussing? The three of us are old and can't hear clearly. What is the country's dispute and what is its origin?
Emperor Wanli spoke and told the story that Zhu Changluo had been arrested, and that he had colluded with Lord Huo to usurp and cause rebellion and burn the Forbidden City.
The ministers were stunned.
It turns out that before, Emperor Wanli suppressed that "someone" from revealing his identity, and this someone turned out to be the eldest prince!
For a moment, no one dared to speak, but everyone knew that by making this matter public, Emperor Wanli was telling his ministers that the war over the country was over!
This time, the old and the young are in order! Because the eldest brother was going to be exiled to Fengyang, and because the second child died early, the third child, Zhu Changxun, immediately took over!
"Is there anyone who opposes me and wants to intercede for the eldest prince?"
Emperor Wanli once again raised the question, but this time he asked it to the courtiers. The courtiers were silent for a while, and finally someone stood up and lived up to the "public expectations".
"Your Majesty, the eldest prince colluded with the evil god to burn down the Forbidden City. There may be a hidden agenda in this matter..."
"Hidden story? Didn't I tell you that he admitted all this, and the three elders heard it."
Emperor Wanli pulled the three old men to his camp this time. Elder Sange heard clearly and understood that there was really no hidden secret this time, and the eldest prince really wanted to take the initiative to rebel.
But he failed and changed from the "mastermind" of the case to "Zhu".
"The eldest prince colluded with the evil gods this time to cause chaos in the Forbidden City and burned down nine palaces and three palaces. More than 300 people died, all with charred corpses. None of them were false. What your majesty said is true. The eldest prince has confessed his guilt and was punished by the five governors of Beizhen Fusi. Capture him at the next watch."
At this time, the ministers suddenly remembered that when the elder went out and announced that before the ministers came in, the people from Bei Zhenfu left surrounded by a man covered in black cloth... Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the eldest prince!
"I know what you are thinking, but I will not discuss this matter about the prince today! I haven't slept a wink all night, and I am very tired now. If you have anything, please discuss it in two days."
"Dismiss the dynasty!"
