Chapter 275: Taking The Blame Of The Civil Servants Of The Former Song Dynasty And Covering It With
There are things that can be done but cannot be said.
Once said out loud, it will become an act of overstepping the authority of the Emperor, being disrespectful to the Emperor, or even having evil intentions and being rebellious!!!
According to the theory of "The Theory of Induction between Heaven and Man", only the emperor should know the meaning behind providence, destiny and disasters.
Because the emperor is the son of God!!!
So if there is any special meaning behind providence, destiny, and disasters, then who can understand it better than the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven?!!
Interpreting the meaning behind providence, destiny, and disasters is, in essence, part of the emperor's power!!!
The officials went beyond the emperor to interpret the meaning behind providence, destiny, and disasters according to their own needs and understanding.
In essence, this is usurping the authority of the Emperor, this is disrespectful to the Emperor, and it means having evil intentions and being treasonous!!!
This is actually another flaw in "Theory of Induction of Heaven and Man~".
If you encounter a cowardly emperor like Zhao Song, then the officials will overstep their bounds.
After all, even the words "The emperor wants to rule the world with the scholar-bureaucrats", the Prime Minister of the Northern Song Dynasty Wen Yanbo dared to say it directly and openly in front of Song Shenzong!!!
And after saying that, Song Shenzong had no choice but to hold his nose and admit it!!!
Because this is a fact in the political environment of the Song Dynasty.
But during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, if anyone dared to say this in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang would dare to kill all the other nine tribes!!!
Therefore, civil servants like those in the Song Dynasty were free to interpret the meaning behind providence, destiny, and disasters according to their own needs and understanding.
Treat all kinds of providence, natural changes, and disasters as excuses and reasons to force the emperor to make concessions.
However, if any of the civil servants during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty dared to interpret the meaning behind providence, destiny, and disasters according to their own needs and understanding, hoping to force Zhu Yuanzhang to make concessions.
Then Zhu Yuanzhang would only show him his butcher knife to see if it was still sharp!!!
However, now Liu Sanwu said that the will of God, destiny, and disasters were naturally decided by the emperor, but what the senior Confucian officials in the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties had done was a slap in his face.
The emperor has the final say on the will of God, destiny, and disasters?!!
No, it is our civil servants who have the final say on the will, destiny, and support of the army!!!
The former Song Dynasty and the present Ming Dynasty are in conflict.
Either Liu Sanwu revised the history books and deleted all the matters about the Northern and Southern Song Dynasty civil servants interpreting the will of God, destiny, and disasters, in order to maintain and guarantee his statement that "the will of God, destiny, and disasters are naturally decided by your majesty." Correctness!!!
Either Liu Sanwu swallowed back what he just said, "His Majesty naturally has the final say on the will of God, destiny, and disasters," and admitted that civil servants in the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties could also interpret the meaning behind providence, destiny, and disasters.
However, the former was naturally impossible for Liu Sanwu to do.
As for the latter, once he swallowed that sentence, he admitted that besides the emperor, other people could also interpret the meaning behind meaning, destiny, and disasters.
Then it is equivalent to a disguised form of evidence that he has usurped the emperor's power, disrespected the emperor, and even had evil intentions and treason!!!
For this reason alone, Zhu Yuanzhang might have gone too far in wanting to kill the nine other clans.
But if you want to kill his whole family, then it is completely justified, and the civil and military officials will not have any objections.
It can be said that now Liu Sanwu has been nailed to the shelf by a group of former Song Wenchen seniors, unable to move or struggle.
"R......"
Liu Sanwu's face turned red with anger and he pointed at Yan Changqing. He couldn't say a word for a long time, let alone give a reasonable explanation.
Although strictly speaking, interpreting the meaning behind providence, destiny, and disasters was done by the civil servants of the former Song Dynasty and was the fault of the civil servants of the former Song Dynasty. It has nothing to do with the civil servants and scholars of the present and Ming Dynasties.
But can such reasons convince the emperor?!!
Does not!!!
From the emperor's point of view, he would only think that since the civil servants of the former Song Dynasty could do this, it is equally possible for the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty to do the same.
"Am I right?!!"
“Or are the historical records wrong?!!”
"The civil servants of the former Song Dynasty did not usurp the authority of the emperor and interpret the meaning behind providence, destiny, and disasters?!!"
Yan Changqing still said with a smile on his face, and even lowered his posture, as if expecting Liu Sanwu to refute what he said.
"ah…………"
Liu Sanwu fell back and fell on Zhu Shan, but fainted.
Yan Changqing looked carefully at Liu Sanwu's arms and saw that they were not naturally hanging down due to coma. Yan Changqing smiled and had no intention of exposing Liu Sanwu's pretense of fainting.
Then Yan Changqing's eyes fell on Zhu Shan, Su Boheng, Gui Yanliang, and Wu Chen again, and he said with a smile:
"Mr. Sun may not be able to give us an answer for a while. All the gentlemen here are considered to be scholars. They are proficient in "The Theory of Influence between Heaven and Man" and have read history books thoroughly. I think they should be able to give us a reasonable answer."
"Who has the final say about God's will, destiny, and disaster?"
"If the emperor has the final say, then why were a group of civil servants in the former Song Dynasty able to interpret the will of God, destiny, and disasters, and force the emperor to issue the "Edict of Sin"?!"
"If all the civil servants of the former Song Dynasty could interpret the meaning of God's will, destiny, and disasters, then who is the emperor and the 'son of heaven'?!!"
..-------*****--..........
"Or are the ministers the 'sons of God'?!!"
Yan Changqing continued to look at Zhu Shan, Su Boheng, Gui Yanliang, and Wu Chen with his heart-wrenching words, ready to blame former Song Wenchen on them at any time.
However, whether it was Zhu Shan, Su Boxheng, Gui Yanliang, or Wu Chen, they all lowered their heads when faced with Yan Changqing's gaze and subconsciously avoided Yan Changqing's gaze.
He didn't dare to meet Yan Changqing's eyes, let alone answer Yan Changqing's questions head-on.
This is impossible to answer at all. Whoever opens his mouth will be nailed to the shelf by Yan Changqing with the sword of the former Song Wenchen like Liu Sanwu!!!
Now Liu Sanwu has been nailed to the shelf by Yan Changqing, unable to stand up or defend himself.
The specific consequences for Liu Sanwu will depend on whether Zhu Yuanzhang wants to pursue the case later.
If Zhu Yuanzhang does not pursue the case, then Liu Sanwu may still have nothing to do.
But if Zhu Yuanzhang wants to pursue the case, Liu Sanwu will risk his own life at the least.
More importantly, the lives of Liu Sanwu’s whole family, and even the entire clan, are at stake!!!
Faced with this situation, who among Baoshan, Su Boxheng, Gui Yanliang, and Wu Chen dared to continue arguing with Yan Changqing.
[His mother-in-law, it was clearly agreed that this was a gentleman’s debate, so why would he have to lose his own life if he lost the debate? He might even have to risk the lives of his whole family and clan?!]
[This is not a debate at all, this is his mother's life! Betting on her own life! Betting on the life of her whole family and her entire clan!!!]
[You guys can speak up and argue. I don’t want to continue the debate. I have seniors above me and juniors below. I really don’t dare to accompany you anymore. 】
[Don’t look at me, don’t look at me, you can’t see me, you can’t see me...
Now Zhu Shan, Su Boxheng, Gui Yanliang, and Wu Chen understand Yan Changqing's debating style.
Others win the debate by reasoning, but Yan Changqing wins the debate by thinking of killing the other party, or even killing the other party's whole family!!!
As long as you catch a flaw in the other party's words, you will immediately cover it with a big hat and throw in a series of heart-wrenching words.
As long as the opponent, or even the opponent's whole family, is killed, Yan Changqing will naturally win the argument.
Such a debate is really too risky. They can't afford it, and they don't dare to continue playing with Yan Changqing.
