"The reason why the ancient emperor wanted to patrol the inaugural ceremony was to coordinate the degree of temperament, measure and visit old friends in a unified way, ask about the sufferings of people's livelihood, depose mediocre officials, promote talented people, assess the performance of officials at all levels, and give them promotion and demotion, so that they are in suitable positions. So the princes were afraid, but the people lived well. Your majesty's patrol is just like that of Qin Shihuang and Han Wudi, and it is just a pleasure of self-indulgence. It is impossible to realize the gift of hunting. Qin Shihuang was attacked by an iron cone in Bolangsha, and Emperor Wudi's private visit to Cooper was not accepted by the owner. Such a disaster can serve as a lesson. In the last two trips to the northwest, the sixth division was left unattended and people were trapped everywhere. Their sad cries reached the sky, spread everywhere and shocked people. Therefore, the people should listen to the edicts of the southern tour, just as birds are frightened by wild animals and flee at the news. Moreover, local officials can use the name of welcoming the holy driving to impose harsh orders, causing riots in Jianghuai and other places, which are implicated everywhere and cost a lot. It would be a disaster if an evil person took the opportunity to make trouble. Besides, your majesty will be the duke of the town. If you go to the prince's territory, someone will treat your majesty according to the etiquette of the minister. Does your majesty appear in front of you in the north or the south? If you want to follow the name and delve into the contradictions and mistakes of princes and ministers, people around your majesty may come to a bad end. In addition, there is another thing that makes people want to cry, but they can't bear to say it: Liu Bi, who provoked the rebellion of the eight kings in the imperial clan of the Western Han Dynasty, also had the same nausea in the imperial clan. The minister had the same effect as Feng Dao, who was ashamed of serving the two kings in the Five Dynasties. He regards his official position as an old thing at home, the imperial court as a market, and your majesty as a pawn. After Chengzu ascended the throne of Wenjian, he removed the title of Wen Jian and still called it "". It's just that the people close to your majesty are narrow-minded and can't tell your majesty these words. If your majesty can hear this, even if you go outside the Forbidden City, you will protect the guards. How dare you ride around? "
Soon, the military attache SiWu of the Ministry of War chose Langzhong Huang Gong and Yuanwailang Lu Zhen to dissuade them together:
"Your majesty has been in power for many years, and the discipline and statutes of ancestors were first bred by the inverse thief Liu Jin, followed by the lucky ones. Once again, the war with the frontier generals was unfavorable, and there was probably not much left. The world only knows that there is a powerful minister, but not a son of heaven. The root of the unrest has been formed, and disaster will happen. So, I try to give an example of the most urgent thing today.
First, respect orthodoxy. It is said that saints advocate quietness, while gentlemen are cautious. Your majesty has played too much, lingering and swimming too much. I sincerely hope that your majesty will stay in the palace, concentrate, calm down, eliminate external interference, reject heresy, alienate adulterers, prolong life and consult loyal ministers. This can include maintaining temperament and cultivating moral conduct. And the reform of the holy school, the natural revitalization of the holy house.
Second, smooth channels of speech. The channel of speech is the lifeblood of the country. In ancient times, wise emperors guided people with suggestions and adopted their suggestions to make them famous. Ministers talk about current affairs, and all the ministers around them are secretive. Some treacherous court officials participated in playing politics, so they were detained in the palace and slandered with other things. In this way, they may be convicted of other things, even though they are not advised. Therefore, although there are long-term plans to stabilize the people's hearts and plan the best national strategy, they cannot be conveyed to the saints. Even if there are major events that will cause chaos in the country and treacherous court officials with malicious intentions, where did your majesty learn about it? I sincerely hope that your majesty can be outspoken and don't blame them for overstepping their duties and fishing for fame and reputation. Only in this way will the advice be gradually presented and broadened, and the traitors will be afraid and dare not be presumptuous.
Third, clear the name. Your majesty himself called the general a surname, Zhen Guogong, for no reason. When he heard about it, he was horrified and sighed. Like this, who is the son of heaven? The son of heaven did not serve your majesty with the son of heaven, but with the general, so the whole world became the subjects of the general. If we don't cancel this title and show the world the birthright, then the system will be improper and the court will have no dignity. Ancient emperors also called themselves husbands, but they could not be husbands. I'm afraid of your majesty's private actions.
Fourth, get rid of freedom and happiness. At the beginning, your majesty played around and chased horses in the south without leaving the main hall, but those who advised him still thought it impossible. Then you were lucky to announce the government, then you were lucky to be in Datong, and then you were lucky to be in Taiyuan and Yulin. Wherever they go, they spend money like running water, alarming people, making counties restless, and civil couples don't protect each other. As the parents of the people, why did your majesty have the heart to let the people go so far? South China has another imperial edict. After hearing this, the people in the south rushed to escape with their wives and children, and complained everywhere. Now there is famine in Jianghuai and other places, and father and son eat each other. How can you not become a thief when the weather is so bad and your majesty persecutes you further? Treacherous men peep and wait for the right time to do things. Chaos happened from within, and there was no way to return to Beijing. If the accident happened outside, it was too late to save it. By then, your majesty, it will be too late to regret. How can those powerful ministers, autocratic eunuchs and close villains have the slightest kindness to love your majesty? Everyone wants your majesty to travel far away, and then he can indulge himself and make profits. Otherwise, they will stand by and be like irrelevant people, Qin Heyue. Your majesty should repent and issue an imperial edict of grief and remorse. Cancel the southern tour and leave Fu Xuan Palace, indicating that they will no longer travel. Open the national treasury, help the people of Jianghuai, demobilize the border guards and bring them back to the establishment. Clean up the previous wrong behavior and gather the separated people. If so, we can still make a difference.
Fifth, eliminate villains. Since ancient times, no villain has been in power and never died. There are indeed many villains playing politics and coveting wealth. As for opening the border first, treating the war as a joke, making your majesty do his best to make the world's wealth and hurt people's hearts, it was all done by Jiang Bin. Jiang Bin is just a mediocre man in the army. He is cruel, vicious, arrogant, grotesque and has no official demeanor. I only saw that he was guilty of murder, but I didn't hear that he had made meritorious service. However, he was given the surname of the monarch, made an earl, gained the trust of his confidants, and was entrusted with the important task of Beijing Battalion, which made him control the military power outside and conspire to rebel inside, forming a situation that it was difficult to ride a tiger, which must be the reason for the rebellion. Everyone gnashed their teeth and cursed. They all wanted to eat Jiang Bin's meat. Why did Your Majesty pity a Jiang Bin instead of apologizing to the world?
Fifth, establish a prince. Your majesty is getting older, the prince is not born, and the foundation of our ancestors' founding is crumbling, and there is nowhere to put it. I was about to go out for a long trip to watch and play, but many accidents happened. I have adopted many adopted sons, but I can't choose a saint among my relatives to inherit the great cause in advance. I think your majesty is probably putting the cart before the horse. I sincerely hope to worship the ancestral temple, ask the queen mother, ask the ministers, and choose a virtuous relative to stay in the palace to pin the expectations of the Chinese people. It is an infinite blessing for the ancestral temple country that the prince was still appointed as Pan Guo after his birth. "
Subsequently, Xia Liangsheng, the official department minister, joined hands with Wan Chao, the official department minister, and Dr. Chen Jiuchuan of Taichang Temple:
"Now the disaster in the southeast is not only in Jianghuai and other places; The worry of the northwest lies in the capital. The memorial tablet of ancestral temple sacrifice cannot be left empty for a long time; Filial piety and support for the queen cannot be ignored for a long time; The pregnancy of harem empresses can still be realized as soon as possible; Heavy state affairs cannot be completely shirked. The title of "town country" is widely circulated all over the world, which may be the bane. The border guards belong to the vicinity of the Forbidden Palace. Have you forgotten the disaster around you, Emperor? If we continue to tour, I will die somewhere. "
At this point, a large number of ministers began to remonstrate, including fourteen officials, including Zhang, and fifty-three punishments. Later, 16 people including Dr. Long Jiang did not do it, and 16 people including Dr. Sun Feng from the Military Department were recommended one after another.
Imperial hospital doctor Vae also protested to art:
"The way of keeping in good health is better than burning candles. The house burns steadily from the wind and rain, and tears flow when the wind blows. Your majesty looks down on his body, but he is addicted to playing, riding and shooting arrows, catching fish and hunting animals. Recently, I am not afraid to travel far, the weather is hot and cold, the diet is not harmonious, and there is no choice of dishes. It's really not a way to keep fit. In addition, the south is humid and prone to illness. Please put the country first, don't engage in pommel horse and drunkenness, please don't be sad and angry, don't hurt the liver, don't hurt the kidney, don't hurt the spleen, please enjoy comfort in the secret room and avoid the storm. This is my greatest wish. "
Liang Wudi was furious after reading it, and ordered Xia Liangsheng, Chen Jiuchuan, Huang Gong, Lu Zhen and Xu Yong to be arrested and imprisoned, while Shu Fen, Zhang et al. 107 ministers were punished by kneeling outside the meridian gate for five days. At this time, there are ten people in Dali Temple, such as Zhou Xu, and twenty people in the pedestrian department, such as Yu Tingzan. Industry ministers Lin Datun, He Zun and Jiang even put forward their names.
Ming Wuzong was furious and ordered Zhou Xu, Yu Tingjun, Lin Daqiu and others, together with Xia Liangsheng and other six people, to kneel at the city gate for five days and impose instruments of torture. In the evening, he was taken back to prison. Your officials were punished in the morning and put in prison at dusk. They were like a row of recidivists, and everyone they saw on the road shed tears. In North Korea, except for Yang Tinghe, a university student, and Shi Jun, a senior minister of the Ministry of Finance, no official dared to speak for them. The sergeants were very angry and threw stones at other ministers. The ministers were afraid, and when they entered the DPRK, they asked the people who were forbidden to speak, but the General Political Department refused to receive the letter.
At that time, it was getting dark, and the water in the South China Sea gushed out more than four feet. The seven iron pillars under the bridge seemed to have been cut off. Zhang Ying, the commander of Jin Wuwei, said, "This is a sign of chaos. It is definitely unlucky for the emperor to go out. " So he was naked, put a knife in his chest, wrapped a few liters of soil, held a protest to stop the emperor's chariot from kneeling and crying, and then stabbed his chest again, bleeding all over the floor. The guards seized his knife, tied him up and sent him to the court. Ask him why he is wrapped in soil. He said, "I'm afraid I have defiled the imperial court and spilled dirt to cover up my blood." He was flogged 80 times and died immediately.
