This allusion used by Xiang Yu is the story of Qin Xiaogong during the Warring States Period.

At that time, Prince Si, who was the prince, was convicted of attacking the new law and was punished according to the law. Qin Xiaogong did not want to destroy the majesty of Qin law and could not bear to leave his son. In the end, Shang Yang could only smooth things over himself and said: The prince committed such a crime was actually the fault of the master and the tutor.

Finally, King Huiwen's two masters, Gongsun Jia and Gongziqian, were cut off their noses and punished the prince for breaking the law. Because Gongziqian was a relative of the Qin State, with a surname named Zhao, and had a higher status, he was only used as a representative to talk about the matter in later generations.

"This is comparing the emperor to Duke Xiao, comparing His Highness to King Huiwen, and comparing himself to Prince Qian." Liu Ruoyu pointed out one by one.

"As a result, he raised a big banner of morality." Zhu Cixuan said four words: "I'm crazy."

During the Ming Dynasty, public opinion generally believed that Emperor Zulongshi was a tyrant and Qin was an unrighteous country. However, his views on Qin Xiaogong were basically positive. Because Qin was able to become a Warring States Period in the world from a Western Rong barbarian country, it was precisely because Qin Xiaogong appointed Shang Yang's reforms in the past.

Compared with the Song Confucians who refused to relax the system of tying their ancestors, the literati and officials in the Ming Dynasty were much more relaxed in their attitude towards reform. Therefore, Hongzhi, Longqing and Wanli had major changes, but there were no so-called troubles such as the new and old party disputes.

Although the image of King Huiwen of Qin is not as distinct as that of his father Xiaogong, his car split Shang Yang for civil governance; he captured Hexi, Shangjun, Bashu, and Hanzhong, and opened up a channel to the Central Plains for martial arts. It can be said that he is still the image of a wise lord.

The prince said that "crazy" was because Xiang Yu classified all other officials who might oppose this memorial into the category of "Shang Yang".

Indeed, Shang Yang was not a likable person in the Confucian society.

Although Han Fei and Li Si, who were the great scholars of the Legalists, were both disciples of Xun Qing, as the banner of the Legalists' outline, Shang Yang has always been very controversial and mixed praise. His achievements cannot be erased, but the behavior of "killing 800 a day and the Wei River is red" cannot be accepted by Shi Ru.

Unless a talent like Zhang Juzheng who ignores matters, no one will be called "Shang Yang".

If you want to not be Shang Yang, you can only follow his Xiang Shuixin's ideas and achieve success with the close ministers around the prince; or stand by and watch; or you can only directly attack the prince.

For Huangming officials, such a foolish thing as attacking the prince, is a red line that must not be touched.

Even if they wanted to change the prince, they could only attack the people around the prince like Xiang Yu, or wait for the opportunity to promote King Yong and King Ding. Among the remaining two choices, they would either become an allied army to attack the close ministers of the Eastern Palace, or they could only stare at them and never become the prince. In terms of military tactics, Xiang Yu's move can be said to be a siege and aid, and ordinary Chinese-minded people have no way to break the trick.

"What do you think?" Zhu Cixuan asked from low and upward without any haste.

Wu Weiye naturally hoped that the prince could raise a banner and fight with Xiang Yu in a dignified battle, completely clearing his humiliation. Although he was not intimate with Xiang Yu, he kindly agreed to Xiang Yu's request and helped him meet the prince. Unexpectedly, he sold him before the night and was labeled as a "famous sinner". He really hated people!

As for the ban on the filthy palace, what is this!

Qian Qianyi, the Wenzong of the world, married the famous prostitute Liu Rushi in broad daylight. Isn’t this even more intolerant in terms of etiquette and law? He even violated the "Da Ming Law"... And he and those female officials never even said much! As a romantic talent in Jiangnan, Wu Weiye only thought this accusation was absurd and ridiculous, and it was indeed the prince’s crazy statement!

but……

"The guards are really too arrogant to kill officials of the court. I think that since this matter is caused by the guard, it is better to hand it over to the officials to discuss the crime." Wu Weiye said.

Liu Ruoyu shook his head slightly and said to himself: You are eating the prince's food and smashing the prince's bowl! Alas, if the prince does this, who will listen to his orders in the future? Could it be that in this field, there are still people who don't know that the prince is a drunkard and is not drinking! What the prince wants is military power!

"Your Highness..." Zhou Jing shouted earnestly.

"Say." Zhu Cilang looked at his cousin, hoping that he could say one or two words that could be heard.

"It cannot be delivered to Youshi!" Zhou Jing shouted.

The haze on Zhu Cixuan's face finally dissipated a lot, and he encouraged: "What do you think?"

"Secretly executed the guard, and only said that it was the plague that died." Zhou Jing said confidently: "This way, you will not involve Your Highness!"

roll!

Zhu Cilang took a strong breath and finally swallowed the word.

This is how things in the world are, and it is often difficult to achieve success. The new guards of the East Palace are still a seedling. If they want to grow taller and straighten up, they will inevitably be Zhou Jing and other old men. These old men are still willing to do things obediently because they still have hope for the "Thank Youth of the Dragon".

Once Zhu Cilang and Zhou Jing turn against each other, their hope will be completely eliminated. In the future, all kinds of slack work will be relatively light, and even more severe, they may deliberately attack and cause trouble.

"Liu Ban, what do you think?" Zhu Cixuan turned to Liu Ruoyu.

"Your Highness," Liu Ruoyu pondered: "No matter how we deal with this matter, it will be accused of it... The old minister Yulu really can't think of how to deal with it properly. Why wouldn't it be better to go back to the palace to find out the emperor's words?"

"I'm not a three-year-old child, so I ran back to complain to my parents after fighting." The prince smiled and said, "But it's just Liu Ban's words. Wu Weiye, you go and draft a memorial for apology. The general idea is that I neglected to discipline, so that such a thing happened. I will order the guards of the East Palace to not go out and train them strictly."

Wu Weiye felt that this did not seem to be enough to show his sincerity of remorse, but he could understand that he asked for a lot of money and the prince paid it back.

Liu Ruoyu was very surprised. This is not the prince’s personality!

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince kept hanging "righteous" outside. In fact, he was so cunning and meticulous that no one could see through it! If someone really believed that the Crown Prince was a person who only knew "righteous", he might not be far from death.

And I don’t know why I die until I die!

"Li Zhongyun." Zhu Ciyang suddenly shouted.

Li Mingrui, who had been attending the audience, was very conscious and said nothing, almost forgot his existence. Hearing the prince called him, he quickly stood up and saluted, answering: "I am here."

"You have made contributions to this matter, otherwise it will be ugly when the emperor's imperial edict comes down." Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "The so-called guest is not annoying to the second master. I have something else to ask Li Zhongyun for help."

"I obey the order!" Li Mingrui offended the prince last time and was always worried. After thinking about it, the prince passed him away with the insignificant little thing of "working time", which was really embarrassing. However, he was a smart person and would definitely not make a second mistake again.

This act of proclaiming oneself before he heard the order was obviously a letter of loyalty.

"I wrote a letter to ask Your Majesty to allow my female official to use it externally," Zhu Cixuan said, "The key is just one sentence: In the current crisis, we should use everything and do our best to avoid taboos. How can we avoid male and female? The Emperor Ming Dynasty's ancestors' system, except for the royal palace, there are eunuchs available, and other wealthy families cannot use eunuchs. So are they iron-clad inner houses? Is it a filthy handover between maids and external servants? There is no such thing as this."

Li Zhongyun's eyelids twitched: The prince's words were really sharp. Who in the world has no matter how strict the access controls are, even in those dukes, there are healthy women dealing with foreign servants. Can they be said to be **? I also thought that when the prince was teaching, he did not seem to have such a sharp understanding of the Five Classics and Classics. I am afraid that the prince's ambition is really not here.

"I understand, I must hand it in before Xiang Yu wrote the letter." Li Mingrui replied.

"Don't hand it in." Zhu Cilang shook his head slightly: "The Tongzheng Department needs to be reviewed. You can write it here. After writing it, I will give it to Liu Ruoyu and let him send it to the Chief Secretary for Gifts."
