Domineering Daming

"If you don't respect the world, don't respect your ancestors, and don't care about etiquette, Huang Chengyuan should be killed!" Sun Zhixie held the newspaper, looked at Huang Chengyuan's article, looked angry, and spat all over the place.

Sun Zhixie was dismissed when he was involved in the "reverse case" at the beginning of Chongzhen. In the past few years, he has been running all over the country and has been seeking reinstatement, but unfortunately he has not succeeded.This time, he felt that the opportunity had come.

Huang Chengyuan wants to legislate for the "Tianxia Ancestral Hall" to interfere with the power of the clan elders, which is completely shooting himself in the foot!

He wants to use Huang Chengyuan as a stepping stone to his career!

Just as he was thinking, when he looked up, he found that Ruan Dacheng had left the mansion and hurried towards the Governor's Office.

Chapter 543 Which One Is Bigger?

Governorate.

Ruan Dacheng's saliva splashed everywhere, and his tone was fierce.

"The state owns the state law, and the family has family rules. Could it be that the imperial court wants to take care of the backyard?"

"If a son does not respect his father, and a woman does not obey her husband, what will happen in the world?"

"Your Majesty, this Huang Chengyuan has no king and no father, and he always regards him as nothing. Please punish him severely!"

Jing Wang Zhu Luhu frowned from time to time listening to Ruan Dacheng's words.

Huang Chengyuan's article was such a thing, and he knew it very well in his heart. The emperor once talked to him about the topic of "imperial power not going to the countryside", but he did not expect that it would come so suddenly.

"What is the emperor going to do?" Zhu Luhu's heart sank slightly, he was not sure.Fortunately, Huang Chengyuan was only "discussing the matter as it stands", not to the point of provoking "the rules of etiquette" and "rebellion".

Zhu Luhu looked at the angry Ruan Dacheng in front of him, and sneered secretly in his heart. This person was originally from the Donglin Party, and later he joined Wei Zhongxian, but he was disgusted by Wei Zhongxian. jumped out.

Prince Jing looked calm, looked at him displeased, and said, "Well, this king has read this article, and Governor Huang just criticized some people for wanton behavior and disregarding the laws of the country. Beijing, I will go and ask again in person.”

Ruan Dacheng regards this article as a "big rebellion", and it is a good opportunity for him to ask the court and the emperor for credit, so how could he give up!

He didn't back down, and said decisively: "Your Majesty, how can you let this matter go easily? Since ancient times, there have been guidelines for heaven and earth, and Huang Chengyuan is clearly a heresy, how can he indulge! How my great Ming governs the world, how all the people live in peace..."

Zhu Luhu frowned again, he couldn't find words to refute, although Huang Chengyuan was "discussing the matter as it stands" and "awe-inspiring righteousness", it was completely in conflict with the reality and contrary to the etiquette of Ming Dynasty. It is really difficult to get rid of the crime of "propriety".

Before Zhu Luhu settled Ruan Dacheng, Sun Zhixie also came in. He could not be said to be a deer, but he looked sinister and cunning. He raised his hand and said to Zhu Luhu in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the family rules and the laws of the state have been common sense since ancient times. Let me ask you a question. Should the emperor respect the heaven and the earth and respect the ancestors? Human relations follow the heart of the heaven and the earth, will the court really want to amend the laws for Taizu Taizong?"

Zhu Luhu's face darkened, and he stared at Sun Zhixie coldly.

These few words of Sun Zhixie were really treasonous, who would dare to say a bad word about Taizu Taizong in this world?How dare descendants criticize ancestors?

But Sun Zhixie followed Huang Chengyuan's words. If he wanted to say that he was rebellious and violated human relations...it was Huang Chengyuan!

When Sun Zhixie said these words, even Zhu Luhu had no choice but to respond, and said with a serious face: "Go back, this king will go to the palace to see the emperor."

Ruan Dacheng and Sun Zhixie looked at each other almost in agreement, they couldn't hide their joy, and raised their hands solemnly: "Your Majesty, wait for the good news from your lord."

Zhu Luhu couldn't see the two people's thoughts, so he sent them away with a cold expression, stood under the eaves for a while, pondered for a while, took a deep breath, stepped out of the governor's office, and walked towards the palace.

At this time, Yuan Keli from the Ministry of Rituals had a hard expression, and slammed the newspaper on the table with one hand, causing the table to tremble. He yelled at Wen Tiren standing in front of him: "Who asked you to log in? Do you want the world to be in chaos?" !"

Wen Tiren was also in conflict with Huang Chengyuan's article. It was too sensitive, and it was bound to cause huge criticism.

However, this article was sent by the Li Supervisor, so he had to publish it!

It was inconvenient for Wen Tiren to say this, and he said calmly, "My lord, the officials have carefully considered this article. Governor Huang said: A suspect murdered, and the officials chased him to the village to arrest him. As a result, the elders of the clan refused to hand him over, and even beat him up." Hurt the servants, risking death. The local servants went again, and the unreasonable people gathered more than a hundred, so that the officials could not deal with it. Please ask the governor's office. The governor's office said that "the crime is not a disorder" and could not send troops, so the case was delayed for a long time, and was The murderer was wronged, and he cried in the yamen all day, and the prefectures and counties heard about it, and there was no end to the uproar. The prestige of the court and the ability of the yamen have been criticized..."

Yuan Keli's expression remained unchanged, the corners of his face were as thin as a knife, and he looked majestic and domineering.

Hearing Wen Tiren's words, he frowned. This kind of thing happened from time to time, and the government is mostly helpless. Apart from persuading them with good words, they can't really make a big fuss by sending troops to "encircle and suppress", and often nothing happens.

Wen Tiren couldn't see what Yuan Keli was thinking, so he said: "Governor Huang is just discussing the matter as it stands, and has no other intentions. He just wants to catch the suspect, avenge the deceased, and maintain the court's law and order. Why do you say 'rebellious behavior'?"

Yuan Keli looked at Wen Tiren, snorted coldly, and said, "Is what you said reasonable? How can you question the rules of etiquette? Does Huang Chengyuan have other intentions, can you be sure?"

The corners of Wen Tiren's mouth twitched. He just tried to refute himself. Seeing Yuan Keli's pressing questions, he could only respond silently. It was impossible to guarantee Huang Chengyuan.

Yuan Keli gave him a cold look, and said: "In the future, any articles of this kind, or those that may be controversial, must be deliberated by the official before making a decision!"

Wen Tiren couldn't stand against Yuan Keli, and he was happy to get away from this matter, raising his hand and saying, "I will obey your orders."

Yuan Keli stood up, his gaze was like a sword, he was silent for a while, and then suddenly said: "I am going to the palace to face the saint now, if it is something else, you should handle it carefully, don't make any mistakes, and let people catch you!"

In this matter, apart from the person involved, Huang Chengyuan, the Ministry of Rites is also a participant, so it is destined not to get away easily.

Wen Tiren responded and sent Yuan Keli out very respectfully.

In the side hall of Jingyang Palace, just as Zhu Xu came back, Bi Ziyan took a newspaper and came to see him with a tired face.

Government affairs are already complicated, and this discussion is extremely important. These days, he has been busy day and night, with his feet never touching the ground, and he has no time to rest.

Huang Chengyuan's article stirred up a thousand waves, and he couldn't live in peace, so he could only come to see the emperor.

Zhu Xu sat on the soft bed, had just had a sip of tea, looked at Bi Ziyan with a smile and said, "Master Bi, you don't have to do everything yourself, you have to rest when you have a rest."

Bi Ziyan looked at Zhu Xu, smiled wryly and said, "Your Majesty, once Huang Chengyuan's article is published, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to rest."

Mentioning this, Zhu Xu looked solemn and said calmly, "Master Bi, what do you think is the problem with Huang Chengyuan's article?"

Bi Ziyan is a rare and calm person who understands everything and is not in vain or indulgence. Before he came, he knew that the emperor would ask this question, and he said casually: "If you only talk about the matter, there is nothing wrong with it. But he asked the court to intervene. A family matter violates etiquette, it's like asking the yamen to manage the husband and wife's bridal chamber, it's a little ridiculous."

Zhu Xu listened to Bi Ziyan's words, his expression remained unchanged, and he tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

To put it bluntly, this matter is the debate between "National University" or "Family University". At this time, it is often the family first and the country second.

How can there be a country without a home?It is a matter of course, a theorem since ancient times!

This is also one of the reasons why "imperial power does not go to the countryside".

Zhu Xu posted this article in the name of Huang Chengyuan, of course not to overthrow the Confucian shop or to break the shackles of Confucianism.A change of mind takes time.

He is now laying the groundwork to prepare for the field reform.

"Imperial power does not go to the countryside", how to reform the land?

However, what he didn't expect was that this force would be so powerful, so strong that he just played a side ball, and even Bi Ziyan, who was most in line with his ideas, came out to speak.

"Your Majesty, Prince Jing, please see Yuan Shangshu." Liu Shimin walked in and said.

Zhu Xu knew why they came without guessing, and said, "Let them come in."

Yuan Keli came in side by side with Prince Jing, the two of them saw Bi Ziyan and the newspaper in his hand at a glance, they immediately understood in their hearts, stepped forward and saluted and said: "I see the emperor."

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "If it's about Huang Chengyuan, you don't need to talk about it. Master Bi has already told me, what do you think, how to solve that case?"

The emperor didn't mention "legislation", so Prince Jing and Yuan Keli couldn't speak for a while.But what to do with this case, they had never thought about it, so they couldn't help thinking about it.
