Chapter 147 I, how is it compared to Jie Zhou?

Zhao Huan felt uncomfortable when he thought that the Song Dynasty still had such problems.

When Zhao Huan felt uncomfortable, he thought of making fun for the spoiled scholars of the Song Dynasty——

Zhu Chongba once kicked Mencius out of the Confucian Temple, deposed Jiang Ziya as a Martial Saint, and changed the title of Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang to a Martial Saint. Zhao Huan felt that what Zhu Chongba could do, he might not be able to imitate.

Therefore, after the big shots in the court had finished talking about their business, and the censors' trolls started to complain as usual, Zhao Huan smiled and said to the ministers in the palace: "I don't think Jiang Shang is worthy of the title of Martial Saint.

Therefore, we have sent people to destroy Jiang Shang's statue of the Martial Saint, deposed him as a Martial Saint, and changed the title of Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang to the Martial Saint."

As soon as Zhao Huan finished speaking, there was an uproar in the court room——

Jiang Ziya, born in Ji, Hanoi, surnamed Jiang, Lu family, given name Shang, given name Ziya, nicknamed Feixiong, once fished on the shore of the Wei River. After meeting Jichang, the Marquis of Xibo, he was worshiped as "Grand Master" by Ji Chang, respectfully named Taigong Wang, and assisted Ji Chang.

Establish hegemony.

After King Wu of Zhou came to the throne, Jiang Ziya was revered as "Master Shishangfu" and became the military commander of the Zhou Kingdom. He assisted King Wu to eliminate Shang Zhou, established the Zhou Dynasty, and sealed the country to Qi. Later, he assisted the ruling Duke of Zhou to quell civil strife, open up territories, and expand the territory.

After the establishment of the Chengkang Dynasty, all the emperors of the past dynasties also highly praised Jiang Ziya. He was revered as the originator of military strategists, a martial sage, and a master of hundreds of schools. During the Suzong period of the Tang Dynasty, he was named King Wucheng and established a martial temple for worship. During the Zhenzong period of the Song Dynasty, he was posthumously named Zhaolie.

But now, the "Martial Saint" whom Emperor Zhenzong once pursued for his posthumous title, and who was worshiped during the martial arts examinations, are not only abolished by the officials now, but they actually sent people to destroy the statue of Jiang Shang's Martial Saint?

"Officials think twice!"

In this situation, even Li Gang, who was Zhao Huan's subordinate, had no choice but to stand up and bow down and say: "Not to mention that all dynasties have highly praised Taigong Wang, even I, the Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty, also

I once pursued the posthumous title of Martial Saint, but now I am an official..."

This is not just a matter of whether to destroy the statue of Wu Sheng or whether to change the title of Wu Sheng. This is a matter that today’s officials do not even take the Emperor Zhenzong seriously——

It is conceivable that once today's incident spreads, those scholars and country gentry who hate the officialdom to the point of itch will be very excited!

Disrespect the saint!

Disrespect your ancestors!

Disrespecting etiquette!

Reverse behavior!

Go wild and rebellious!

Almost instantly, Li Gang thought of many reasons to impeach Zhao Huan, and the imperial officials were already eager to stand up.

"I have a question that has been buried in my heart for a long time."

However, Zhao Huan chose a more comfortable position to lean on the dragon chair and said: "Since King Wu defeated Zhou, Taigong Wang was respected as "Master Shangfu" by King Wu of Zhou Dynasty.

The originator of military strategists, a martial sage, and a master of hundreds of schools of thought. During the reign of Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty, he was posthumously named King Wucheng and established a martial temple to offer sacrifices. During the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of the Tang Dynasty, he was posthumously named Zhaolie.

According to "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals: First Time", Taigong Wang also recruited people from Hanoi. From this, it can be seen that Taigong Wang ate Yin millet and drank Yin water, and everything he learned came from the Yin Shang Dynasty. So, I want to know

, Why did Taigong Wang abandon Yin and go to Zhou, and why did he serve King Wu to attack Zhou?"

As soon as Zhao Huan's words fell, Yan Chengxuan, the admonishing official, stood up angrily, bowed and said: "The King of Yin was confused and addicted to wine and virtue. He did not need to honor his old ministers, but appointed villains. He listened to women, Daji."

I obey the words, I believe that there is a destiny in heaven, but I neglect the sacrifices, the punishment is harsh, there is a method of cannon burning, the Taigong hopes to serve Zhou and attack Zhou, it is in accordance with the destiny of heaven!"

Zhao Huan nodded, hummed and said: "So, Boyi and Shuqi are going against the will of heaven by not eating Zhousu millet, and should not be called gentlemen.

I disrespect the saints, arbitrarily change the ancestral system, and conquer without restraint. The people of the world should not think about supporting the country, but should live in the honor of the virtuous. First, punish me, the ignorant king, and then abolish the title of the Song Dynasty. What do you think? Or not?"

Yan Chengxuan was stunned for a moment, then he bowed his head and bowed: "How can your Majesty compare yourself to Jie and Zhou?"

Zhao Huan laughed softly and said: "Although I don't like drinking too much, I can eat very good food, and I won't eat anything other than fine food. I don't like to use noble relatives and old ministers, but I like to use talented and virtuous people. I believe that As destiny dictates, I also waste my time offering sacrifices.

Although I do not have the punishment of being burned with cannons, I often kill people of the nine tribes. I like to conquer, and every time I conquer, I will build a capital. Wanyan Zonghan and Li Qianshun are not far from their mistakes, and countless dead souls howl every night."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Huan sneered again and asked: "Although I am cruel, how can I compare to Zhou?"

After Zhao Huan finished speaking, Li Gang couldn't help coughing in a low voice, and stood up and said something that officials should be careful about. The other ministers in the court were collectively dumbfounded——

The so-called King Zhou is cruel and immoral. In fact, as Zigong said in "The Analects of Confucius: Zi Zhang Pian", the evil of Zhou is worse than this! It is because the gentleman is evil and lives in the lower class, and all the evil in the world will end up there.

Or to put it more bluntly, the winner is the king or the loser.

King Wu of Zhou succeeded in defeating Zhou, which is naturally just. Even if King Wu of Zhou said that King Zhou perished because he listened to the slander of Su Daji, who had just entered the palace for only a year, King Wu of Zhou was also correct. Later generations of literati would try their best to do it. King Zhou made other accusations, and then increased the number of people involved in the Battle of Muye, using imaginary numbers and impossible-to-exist wine pools and meat forests to prove that King Zhou was immoral.

King Zhou failed. Naturally, others can pour dirty water on King Zhou at will, because a dead man will not stand up to refute.

However, the terrible thing is that King Zhou is dead, but today the official family is still alive and kicking——

Just as the officials said that he liked to build the Jingguan, the big shots in the court naturally knew it. After all, the heads of Wanyan Zonghan and Li Qianshun were still displayed on the Jingguan.

However, it was of no use. What the official wanted to say was his own business, and the ministers in the court could only treat it as invisible.

Dare you jump out and say that today's officials are cruel and unkind?

For reference, people like Li Bangyan, Bai Shizhong, Cai Jing, and Gao Qiu all either had their whole families wiped out, or they were simply exterminated from all nine tribes. Even those who were lucky enough to survive were all sent to Fengsheng Prefecture to work as coolies!

Even if we take a step back, what will happen if today's officials allow everyone to say that they are cruel?

These words are just for people to talk about in the Confucian circles and the court. If they were to go to the countryside, who would believe those mud-legged people who benefited from never adding edicts and redistributing land? ?

It's too late for those mud-legged people who forget about righteousness to support this foolish king!

Therefore, in front of the officials who hold the army in their hands and control the hearts and minds of the people, no matter how capable the trolls are, they have no monkey to play with. They can only watch helplessly as the officials act perversely!

PS: The emperor's brother was discharged from the army on the 1st. I ran from Shenyang to Shandong overnight and drove back to Shenyang overnight on the 5th...
