11. Unreasonable before the situation

When he heard Wang Ji's words, the prince was shaken again.

After a long time, he said to Wang Shuwen: "Even if you are granted the title of King Wei Gao, Gao Yue, and Du You to hereditary vassal states, you will be fine..."

Wang Shuwen was both excited and painful. He said to the prince: "We met Wei Gao and Gao Yue were both loyal ministers and good ministers, and they thought they all took the world as their responsibility, but now it seems... Your Highness, do you have to know that Wu Zhou was also using Fengshan Mountain to promote the 'revolution of Tang Dynasty'!"

"The classic arguments of Fengshan seem to be made by Confucian scholars; and the feudal world was also the way of sages that Confucian scholars enjoyed. The person who tied the bells was still needed to untie the bells. Now, my emperor and Tang treat Confucian scholars well, so they may not use the Fu Rui theory to shake the foundation of the country, right?" The prince now ignited some will to fight, but he still had fantasies about the harshness of the struggle.

Therefore, Liu Yuxi disagreed. He said to the prince: "I founded the country in Tang Dynasty. Some believers and some believers in Buddhism, but they really did not establish Confucianism as the foundation of the country. Confucian scholars wanted to enter the officialdom, but were restricted by family and imperial examinations. A large number of people who were in decline and unsuccessful were deeply resentful and might not be interested in our Tang Dynasty. In the past, Han and Wu abolished all schools of thought and respected Confucianism, but because of their overbearing, they were not recognized by Confucian scholars, so Confucian scholars flocked to the Han Dynasty in the Han Xuan era and actually asked the Han family to choose great sages as soon as possible and abdicate them. Therefore, Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, so why didn't they support them behind the back? In my foolish opinion, feudalism and Fengshan theory can be refuted, but they cannot rely on Confucianism. Moreover, the court had to choose Buddhism or Taoism as a manifestation, because Confucianism was really harmful to the supreme power, and once he was held hostage, the consequences would be unimaginable."

"Sir, great talent, can be refuted by feudalism. This is not only my idea, but also the meaning of Your Majesty!" At this time, the prince was eager to invite Liu Yuxi out of the mountain.

Liu Yuxi said, "I am naturally willing to take responsibility, but my talent and learning are limited, and I am afraid that I will ruin it. In my opinion, it is enough to appoint another person."

"Could it be?"

"Yes, it's Liu Zihou in Hedong." Liu Yuxi reported his friend's name.

The prince certainly had no objection to Liu Zongyuan's talent, and Wang Shuwen also deeply agreed.

At this moment, Wang Yi was afraid again. He said that Liu Zongyuan had previously worked in the Guangzhou Inspection Office and had a very close relationship with the Duke of Wei Gao Yue. Gao Yue treated him like a father and a son. Now he asked Liu Zongyuan to refute the feudal theory. Isn’t it “what you marry is not a human being”?

"What is this? Zihou is not a person who is not apart from public or private affairs. Now, the feudal disputes in counties and counties are related to the whole world. Zihou will not stand by. Please leave this matter to me." Liu Yuxi, the general of Wang Ji, was ashamed of his explanation, and then volunteered to the prince, saying that during Liu Zongyuan's mourning, he first went to Bining to rely on his uncle who was a staff there, and then turned south and prepared to go to Eyue and Hunan to study. Now it happened to be in Shangluo Road, and I would like to follow him and beg him to do this.

A few days later, Liu Yuxi was suddenly appointed as the "Crown Prince's Book Envoy", saying that he wanted to go to the people for the Eastern Palace to collect various books and classics for publication and printing, so he left Beijing.

No one had any additional doubts about this. For a moment, Quan Deyu, Liu Deshi, Li Jiang and others all went to Baqiao to practice it for him.

In Yanying Hall, the emperor made clear his attitude to the prime ministers. He took out the article that advocated feudalism and questioned Du Huangshang, Lu Zhi and others, if it was feudal, what would you do? You were the one who helped me to govern the world. After the feudal period, the Zhongshu Party could not even leave Tongguan. What would you do to the country? What would you do to the national treasury?

The four prime ministers Du Huangshang, Lu Zhi, Han Hui and Zheng Xi could only answer that it was indeed inappropriate to practice feudalism, but to calm the remarks, one must have a "public theory" that is clear from the sun and the moon and shakes the thunder.

"Good, public opinion, right? I understand."

During the dine-in, Zheng Yu was so angry that he threw the chopsticks down and said to the other three prime ministers: "The three southern towns of Jiannan, Lingnan and Huainan are really too much. Now it seems, what is the difference between them and Heshuo and Ziqing? No, it is worse than the latter. He actually wanted to coerce the court's feudal state. The prime minister was the prime minister of the court, the prime minister of the king, and the subordinates of the Zhongshuo and even the entire Nanya, not the backyard of him Wei Gao and Gao Yue!"

"Yi Song's attitude may not necessarily require feudalism..." Du Huangshang said slowly.

"The prime minister is the prime minister of the world, and the two taxes in Huainan are fully transferred to the capital." Lu Zhi added casually.

Zheng Zhi was not even in a state of food. He pushed the meal case, stood up, looked at the wall, and refuted to the two: "In terms of personal relationships, the senior high school recommended me to come to the Political Affairs Hall, but the prime minister should have the character of the prime minister. Now no one knows that the senior high school relied on Huainan to enter the Zuoyuan, and controlled the halls of our government in the capital. In the local area, he even annexed the Du Branch and the Salt and Iron Inspection Institute, making the Sansi Inspection Institute the lower branch of his shogunate. I will never be at his disposal for such things..."

"What if Gao Yue comes to the Political Affairs Hall again as the Minister of the Secretariat and asks Wenming to return to Huainan to serve as the governor of the Jiedushi?" Du Huangshang suddenly interrupted and asked.

Zheng Zhi didn't know how to answer, and his face turned red, saying that it was necessary for the Holy Lord Baima Xuan to make a decision. Then he made up his mind to write an open letter, angrily scolding Gao Yue, who is now living in Yangzhou, angrily scolding his unjust behavior, angrily scolding his wolfish ambitions, and angrily scolding his wolfish hearts.

"Be calm in civilization, the feudal court will not agree, but it is inevitable to be verbal and verbal. Moreover, the most urgent thing in feudalism is Wei Ling. If you argue and struggle hard to suppress it at any time, you will hurt the court. Jiannan's harmony is not a good way to calm the dispute." Han Hui also persuaded calmly.

Zheng Zhi had no choice but to understand that the previous battle between the emperor and Gao Yue was a crushing defeat, which proved that the central government was embarrassed and could not eliminate Heshuo, Ziqing, let alone suppress Gao Yue and Wei Gao, the newly rising vassals. So they were eager for Shu and demanded more power from the court, even if it was not "taken for granted", it was "must be so". In the face of "momentum", where is there a "reason"?

Zheng Zhi silently denied the move to write an open letter.

But private messages are required, but you have to write them.

During the following days, thousands of people under Huayue suddenly came to the capital to submit a memorial, saying that auspiciousness is emerging one after another, and the four barbarians are expelled. The country and the people are all thriving, so it is time for His Majesty to patrol and worship Huayue.

The emperor felt like a mirror in his heart. This must be the incitement method of Jiannan and others to the Zuoyuan: because once Fengshan Huashan Mountain, the surrounding fields would become Tang Muyi, and they would be exempted from tax exemption forever. These fellow villagers were all very evil.

So the emperor replied to the representatives of Huashan’s public opinion, saying that this Fu Rui was far from enough and could not be fed up.

As soon as he finished speaking, Eyue, Hunan, Jinshang and other places began to offer great auspiciousness, such as the six-sized Jiahe, the two-headed Ganoderma lucidum, the albino elk, the same-breasted cat and mouse, and the three-legged deformed birds, were continuously sent to the capital with the two taxes, and the Daming Palace almost became a zoo and a botanical garden.
