Volume 1: Settling Down the Tang Dynasty Chapter 426: Lively Court

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The one who came out at this time was an official from Yushitai, surnamed Zhao.  The Yushitai is a central administrative organ and a central judicial organ. Its main responsibility is to inspect and impeach officials and correct discipline.  It is an authority directly responsible to the emperor.

    Especially during the Zhenguan period of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, that is, after Li Shimin became the emperor, the power of the Yushitai became very powerful.  The reason is that Li Shimin encouraged Yushitai officials to be brave and dare to expose the blasphemy, dereliction of duty, or disrespect of all officials in the court.

    Among them, the most typical example is Wei Zheng, the boss of the Yushitai.  He even dared to often confront the emperor and point out the emperor's shortcomings. This often made Li Shimin unable to step down and made him very angry.  However, this was the case. Not only was Wei Zheng never blamed by the emperor, on the contrary, he was even more valued by the emperor.

    The most frightening thing is that the officials of Yushitai can not be convicted based on their speech.  In other words, even if the matter he impeached or the person he impeached, after investigation, it would not be as it was during the impeachment.  Or because there is no evidence to prove these crimes.  These officials of Yushitai will not be framed or charged for this.  At best, he would just be reprimanded by the emperor.

    Of course, this is also the emperor's move to encourage Yushitai officials to have the courage to report and speak out.  Otherwise, if you accidentally say the wrong thing, you will lose your official position, or even put yourself in jail.  I wonder who else dares to speak.  How many people are willing to do this kind of thing that harms others and themselves?

    Of course, like the unlucky guy who was punished last time, he deserved it.  Who dared him to sneak Li Feng into the Tai Chi Hall without investigating clearly?  This kind of disrespectful behavior is extremely disrespectful and eager for utilitarianism.  Those who do not follow the corresponding procedures will deserve it.

    "I and other officials of the Yushitai are deeply favored by the emperor. They shoulder the responsibility of supervising all officials and upholding the principles of the court. The emperor's favor is so great that I dare not slack off in the slightest, for fear of betraying the emperor's favor. In recent days, some minor officials have  Reports have been received one after another. His Majesty King Yan Yong has behaved inappropriately and abused his power for personal gain. After investigation by Weichen, the reports are all true."

    "Therefore, I want to impeach King Yong on several charges. First, he is unfilial and violates the ancestral etiquette. This is the ancestral rule and the beginning of filial piety. People in the world should cherish him more.  But now, the brave king has ignored the ancestral rules and abandoned them, which can be said to be extremely disrespectful and unfilial. Filial piety is the foundation of the government and the rule of the world, and it is also the most important thing for kings from generation to generation.  One of the things is the foundation of the sage's teachings. It can be said that it is the most important cornerstone of the imperial court. Now, King Yong has openly ignored it, which is really a great crime of disrespect."

    "Second, public weapons are used for private use and troops are mobilized privately. According to the laws of our court, if there is no war, if you want to mobilize a soldier, you must report it to the Ministry of War, and you can only mobilize it after obtaining a signed document authorizing it from the Ministry of War. And if you want to mobilize the army,  The number is too large, and it requires the imperial decree of our emperor. Although the Black Tiger Army now belongs to the National Flag Guard, it still belongs to the army of the Tang Dynasty. King Yong privately directed the Black Tiger Army out of the city without the authorization of the Ministry of War.  , it¡¯s really a big sin.¡±

    "Third, it would be a loss of national dignity and a disgrace to the royal family"

    ¡­¡­

    Seeing that Li Feng, the real owner, had arrived, Mr. Zhao immediately began to state Li Feng's crimes again.  His words were harsh and his expression was so angry, it was as if someone had dug up his ancestral grave.

    "Your Majesty, veteran minister reconsiders. Since ancient times, the world has been governed by loyalty and filial piety. It can be said that loyalty and filial piety are the foundation of governing a country. And filial piety is the beginning of all virtues. How can we talk about loyalty without filial piety. King Yong is the prince of the country.  The words and deeds represent the dignity of the country and the face of the royal family. In the eyes of outsiders, they also represent the dignity of the Tang Dynasty. But now, King Yong has done such a ridiculous thing, which can be said to have completely ruined the face of the Tang Dynasty."

    "Therefore, King Yong should be punished for his behavior of disregarding the etiquette of his ancestors and the etiquette of the saints. If not, how can he make the people of the world surrender, how can he silence the people of the world, and how can the imperial court educate the people of the world. If so.  If the ethics of filial piety are gone, how will the Tang Dynasty deal with itself"

    As soon as Mr. Zhao, the Yushitai official, finished speaking, Kong Yingda immediately began to speak heartbrokenly. At the end of the sentence, tears burst down his face.

    "I also believe that His Highness King Yong's previous actions were indeed deeply inappropriate."

    "I also reconsider"

    ¡­¡­

    After Kong Yingda¡¯s words, the hall was like a pot of water boiling, and many ministers began to express their opinions one after another.

    And as he listened, Li Feng suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly.  After hearing this, he finally understood the reason why these people impeached him.  There are two reasons. One is that he called the Black Tiger Army Gang this time.There is another one who works with him because of his bald head.  And obviously, the most important thing is because of his bald head.

    ¡°Perhaps it¡¯s because these people know that using Li Feng¡¯s private deployment of the Black Tiger Army as an example will have no effect at all.  Because, as long as the emperor Li Shimin is willing, this reason is useless.  At worst, Li Shimin said, Li Feng has already obtained his authorization for this matter.

    Therefore, the most important thing for these people is to cling to the second point.  Shaving your head is unfilial to your parents, goes against the ancestral etiquette, and goes against the doctrines of the saints, which is disrespectful.  And all along, the foundation of governing a country has been loyalty and filial piety. Violating any of these is a serious crime.

    "If ordinary people behave unfilially and are informed to the government, they will inevitably be punished. At least, this crime of whipping is unavoidable.  And if you refuse to change despite repeated admonitions, you can even be locked up directly, with the risk of being jailed.  But now, the dignified prince Li Feng has done such a great unfilial thing, and the situation is even more serious.

    Because the world follows the example of the royal family. If a prince behaves like this without being stopped or punished, does it mean that the royal family allows this situation to exist? Does it mean that the court acquiesces to this behavior?  If that's the case, where should the filial piety that has always been adhered to be placed?  And what should we say about the Three Guidelines and Five Constant Rules, which the country has always relied on to govern the people of the world?

    It can be said that this matter really needs to be taken seriously.  That's great, because it touches on the fundamentals of governing the country.

    "My dear friends, do you have anything else to say about this matter?"

    After all the voices of these supporters stopped, Li Shimin saw that no one was speaking, so he looked at the ministers below and began to speak slowly.  In fact, don't look at his calm face now.  But I felt a little anxious in my heart.  He is in desperate need of another voice.  If not, to be honest, it would be really difficult for him.

    ??This matter is big if it is big, and small if it is small.  Call it small.  It's just a matter of shaving your head, there's really nothing to say about it.  However, it can rise infinitely, and when extended, it can involve governing the country, the foundation of the country's stability, and the ancestral precepts of the saints.  And once it comes to these things.  Things are going crazy

    However, it is a pity that no one spoke this time, even though they have always been very observant.  Fang Xuanling, who often helped him solve problems, remained silent.  The principle of loyalty and filial piety has lasted for so many years and has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.  What's more, Fang Xuanling and the others are also scholars.  Although it's not the purest kind, it is.  I still very much obey the way of this saint.

    "At this moment, if they refute Kong Yingda and the others, they will be on the opposite side of the world's scholars and the study of saints. They cannot help but think carefully about such a matter.

    "Isn't it just a shaved head? Is it so serious? If losing two hairs is so serious, then our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty still dare to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. If it's either an arm or a leg, that's not it.  You¡¯ve made all eighteen generations of your ancestors angry to death, right?¡±

    Seeing that everyone was silent, Cheng Yaojin finally couldn't sit still and began to complain.  There was no other way. In fact, he didn't want to do this either.  However, let alone his recent relationship with Li Feng, let's talk about the two boys in his family. Now they are also messing around in the Black Tiger Army with their heads naked.

    ¡°Also, from the perspective of an old general, this long hair is indeed a burden to soldiers and causes too many inconveniences.  Relatively speaking, this bald head is much better.  Moreover, it looks very powerful.

    "That's right, if this is the case, how dare you go to the battlefield to kill the enemy? In my opinion, this matter is not so mysterious. Isn't it just a haircut? It won't take long, and it will grow back."

    "That's right, that's right. As the saying goes, if the old doesn't go away, the new won't come in. Besides, this long hair is indeed very inconvenient for us soldiers. I think His Highness King Yong looks good like this. He just goes to the battlefield to kill.  It will be much easier for the enemy to come, everyone said, right?"

    "It's just like once on the battlefield, it was because of this long hair that suddenly became loose"

    As soon as Cheng Yaojin opened his mouth, everyone among the generals began to echo his words.  Not to mention, many of them are basically like Cheng Yaojin and have children in the Black Tiger Army.  Let¡¯s just say that since ancient times, the antagonistic and competitive relationship between civil servants and military commanders meant that civil servants and military generals would definitely not be as close as one family.  If you want to help, of course you have to help the people on your side.

    "Absurd, extremely ridiculous, how can these two things be confused. Going to the battlefield and throwing your life and blood is to protect your family and country. Although it is somewhat unfilial to your family, you are still loyal to your family.?, loyal to you"

    "Then what Mr. Kong said, our Highness the King Yong, what we did was not loyal to the country, but loyal to the king. Then we went to the battlefield to resist the Turks, and developed Chinese Pinyin so that everyone in the world can read, and  The national flag, the national anthem, etc., are not acts of loyalty to the country and the king"

    ¡­¡­

    In a quarrel, Cheng Yaojin was not afraid of anyone. After seeing Kong Yingda stand up, he refused to give in and directly pushed forward. In an instant, there was a burst of verbal bickering. You came and I went back and forth. It was so lively.  .

    "It is true that Kong Yingda is a great scholar of the generation, but even if he is full of knowledge and truths, when it comes to this quarrel, how can he be Cheng Yaojin's opponent.

    The matter is far from over yet. Seeing that Kong Yingda is no match for Kong Yingda, of course there are people who help him immediately. However, the military commander is not a vegetarian.  So, needless to say, the entire court suddenly turned into a vegetable market.
