Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 996 Who?

  After marking the first point in his heart, Zhu Pingan continued to look down, and then came to the core question in Brother Yang's memorial:

"The emperor Fuwang listened to his ministers and observed Song's treachery. The ministers were afraid of Song's prestige and grace, so there was no need to ask. The emperor may ask the two kings to make them face Chen Song's evil; or ask all the cabinet ministers to tell them not to Fear of Song’s prestige. If it is true, if it is serious, it will be punished with exclusive heavy crimes to rectify the country’s laws, and if it is light, it will be ordered to return to the family to restore the whole country. After the internal thieves are gone, the government can be cleared.”

   This paragraph is the direct cause of Brother Yang's tragedy. Brother Yang's sentence "or ask the two kings" violated the taboo of Emperor Jiajing, which caused Brother Yang to fail to impeach Yan Song.

  Zhu Ping'an read it very carefully. After studying Brother Yang's memorial, the eastern sky was full of morning light.

   "Brother, peace"

  Zhu Ping'an finished reading the closed memorial, and after saying "brother", he paused, thinking about how to make a proposal.

   "Zihou, between you and me, there is nothing to say. What can Zihou tell you, but please speak bluntly, Sheng, and listen carefully." Seeing this, Yang Jisheng couldn't help smiling, and stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation.

"Senior brother has something to say, so Ping An will say it straight. After Ping An reads it, I have two superficial opinions, and I will discuss it with my senior." Zhu Pingan nodded when he heard the words, opened the memorial and spread it on the dining table, and pointed out the first one. The paragraph where the first suggestion is located, slowly opened his mouth and said, "First point: Senior Brother said in this paragraph that the Holy Master "has always been tolerant of Song's evil", and later said, "It can't cover the dignity of the minister, so Gu Yourong said it Waiting for him to hurt his ears ". It is unavoidable to imply that the Holy Majesty is protecting Yan Song. After seeing the memorial, the Holy Majesty may not like it. From the perspective of peace, it is better to delete the relevant sentences about the Holy Majesty You Ronggu's treatment."

Yang Jisheng listened to Zhu Ping'an's first opinion, smiled and shook his head, "Zihou is too much to worry about, Sheng, this paragraph is actually not to blame the sage, but to remind the sage, don't give the strict thief Youronggu treatment again. Grace, the thieves are the weeds of the seedlings, the tigers of the city, one day they are in power, one day is harm, one day is not eliminated, and millions of people will be poisoned by them."

"Senior brother, even though this is the case, reading it will still make people feel that the sage is protecting him. If the sage also feels the same way, it will not be good for senior brother's memorial." Zhu Pingan shook his head and reminded again road.

"Zi Hou, I understand what you mean, but if you give up eating because of choking, wouldn't it be unwise. To have today is the grace of the Holy Majesty's promotion. I bluntly remind the Holy Majesty to repay the emperor's favor and to be loyal to the duty of the courtiers." Hearing this, Yang Jisheng shook his head, and did not accept Zhu Pingan's suggestion, and his attitude was very firm.

Uh.

   Bad start.

  Zhu Pingan sighed in his heart, but he also understood in his heart that there was nothing wrong with Yang Jisheng's words, because it was indeed his duty to speak out. Historically, Wei Zheng, the prime minister in the early Tang Dynasty, was famous for his courage to speak out to the emperor, and he became a model for the courtiers of all dynasties to follow. No one is perfect, the emperor is also a human being, and sometimes he makes mistakes. As a courtier, after discovering that the emperor has made a mistake, don't you remind the emperor because he is worried that the emperor will blame him? ! If so, is it still the work of a qualified courtier? !

   Besides, he is the famous Yang Jisheng.

  In addition, compared with "or ask the two kings", this question is a disease of ringworm and scabies, and "or ask the two kings" is the real incurable disease.

   "Let's not talk about this for now. Brother, please consider this second point."

  Zhu Pingan weighed it over and over again in his heart, gave up his plan to continue persuading on this point, and focused on the point of "or ask the second king".

   "Please tell me, Zihou." Seeing that Zhu Ping'an was so serious and formal, Yang Jisheng also sat upright, and asked Zhu Ping'an to talk about the second point.

   "The second point is here-"The emperor may ask the second king to make him face Chen Song evil." Zhu Pingan pointed out the location of this sentence on the memorial, looked up at Yang Jisheng, and said seriously and seriously.

  As soon as Zhu Ping'an finished speaking, he heard the sound of a glass being overturned from the bedroom in the back room, and also vaguely heard a vague exclamation.

who?

   Anyone else?

  Zhu Ping'an was startled when he heard the voice from the back room, and turned his head to look in the direction of the back room.

   "Oh, don't worry Zihou, the dog Yingji is in the room." Yang Jisheng smiled slightly and explained softly.

   It turned out to be Brother Yang's second son, and Zhu Pingan was relieved to hear that.

  Brother Yang has two sons, the eldest son Yang Yingwei and the second son Yang Yingji. According to historical records, Brother Yang failed to impeach Yan Song and was thrown into prison. After knowing that he would die, he wrote two wills in the prison, one was "An Envoy from a Foolish Husband to a Virtuous Wife Zhang Zhen" to his wife, and the other was "An Encouragement from Father Jiaoshan". Ying Wei and Ying Ji's Two Sons" was written for the two sons.

   "Ying Ji, what's wrong?" Yang Jisheng asked loudly in the direction of the room after explaining to Zhu Ping'an.

   "Father please punish me. The child was thirsty and poured a cup of tea. He didn't expect the tea to be too hot, so he accidentally knocked over the teacup." As soon as Yang Jisheng finished speaking, an explanation from a ten-year-old boy came from the back room.

   "Every major event in the world must be done in detail. How many times have I told my father that I will punish you for copying "The Analects" ten times this time. Do you have any objections?" Yang Jisheng shook his head slightly when he heard the words, and raised his voice to teach in the back room.

   "My child has no objection." Yang Yingji's voice came from the back room, admitting punishment.

   "Senior brother, brother Ji just accidentally knocked over the cup, so he was fined to copy "The Analects of Confucius" ten times. Isn't that too much?" Zhu Pingan persuaded softly after hearing the words.

   "The Analects of Confucius" has 20 chapters in total, with a total of 15,900 characters, which is nearly 160,000 characters after being copied ten times. Calligraphy is not like modern fountain pens and gel pens. How long does it take to copy 160,000 characters with calligraphy?

"Ten times is actually not too much. Firstly, copying the Analects of Confucius can cultivate one's morality, and secondly, it can deepen Ying Ji's understanding. However, since Zihou has already opened his mouth, he should copy it five times." Yang Jisheng explained the punishment with a slight smile. Copying "The Analects of Confucius" worked hard, but after listening to Zhu Ping'an's persuasion, the punishment for copying ten times was changed to five times.

"Thank you father, thank you brother Zhu for your kindness, but the man promises a thousand gold, Ying Ji has already promised to copy it ten times, how can he break his promise, and ask the father to take back his promise, and the boy is willing to copy "The Analects of Confucius" ten times." Although Yang Yingji in the back room is young, But he is very principled in doing things, insisting on copying "The Analects" ten times.

   "Okay, he is indeed my son of Yang Jisheng." Hearing this, Yang Jisheng admired Yang Yingji's decision, and his face was also full of pride.

   "Ping'an is ashamed." Zhu Ping'an cupped his hands in shame when he heard the words, admiring Yang Jisheng's family tradition. In dealing with people, sincerity is the first word, and this small matter can show a corner of the Yang family's family style.
