"Yuanfu lost his father, how can he not win his love?"

The emperor asked sincerely.

The reaction of the courtiers was also unexpectedly fierce.

The official Chen Younian suddenly came out of the queue. Xu Fu saw the situation and wanted to stop him, but it was too late and he could only close his eyes and not look.

The former came closer, saluted and said: "Your Majesty, Yuan Fu is confident and said to Yang, only the principles of the sages and the laws of the ancestors."

"Confucius said: 'Have I loved my parents for three years?' When the prince asked for mourning, Mencius said: 'Even if you add one day to it, it will make it better.'"

"Then you will eventually lose the teachings of the sages and sages, and if you violate it yourself, you will not be able to bear it."

Wang Xijue glanced at the emperor with some worry.

Zhang Juzheng's abiding by the system was not only people who were dissatisfied with the new law, but also old-fashioned scholars like Chen Younian.

Even Wang Xijue was happy to see Zhang Juzheng return to his hometown to maintain the system.

This is the filial piety of the Ming Dynasty.

Even when Wang Xijue was in charge of the Criminal Department, when he encountered the case of Lao Tzu's ashes, the verdict still had to read: "It is enough to expel his wife to hide his evil for his father."

Under this kind of filial piety, in order to seize Zhang Juzheng's love, in addition to people with evil intentions, it is natural that there are also moral scholars who speak out for justice.

The two merged together, and if the emperor did not distinguish carefully, he might make a big mistake. Thinking of this, he suddenly felt something in his heart.

After Wang Xijue pondered for a moment, he slowly came out of the queue: "Your Majesty, it's not that you can't win love, but there is no such precedent in ancient times."

I don’t know if the emperor accepted his helping hand or if he was simply being gentle to him.

The emperor explained softly: "If Chen Qing said that Yuan Fu couldn't bear it, it's because I insisted on seizing her love."

"If Wang Qing said that the ancestors established the law, there are also the old examples of assistant ministers Yang Pu and Li Xian."

"Why?"

Chen Younian was about to say more when he felt a tightness behind his back, and he stumbled and was dragged back to the train.

Wang Xijue immediately answered: "Your Majesty has learned from this."

"Even if there are Yang Pu and Li Xian, the past can be traced, and it is not over for three years, not for one day."

"Your Majesty can order Yuan Fu to return to his hometown and wait for the edict at home. After the funeral is completed, we can discuss the affair."

There is no precedent for not observing filial piety for a day, but there is a precedent for not observing filial piety for less than three years.

This is just a matter of waiting for the first half of the year.

In the same way, it can be regarded as removing some of Shilin's obstacles for the emperor.

When Zhu Yijun heard this, he nodded slowly.

Then he cast a questioning look at the officials: "Do you think so?"

Chen Younian, who had been speaking righteously just now, sighed in his heart after hearing this, and finally decided to give up.

Zhao Zhigao, Yu Shenxing and other Hanlin officials each looked at each other with hesitation on their faces.

At this moment, Zou Yuanbiao suddenly said: "Your Majesty."

"I thought otherwise. At that time, Li Xiangu stole love, but was impeached by his disciples. He was criticized at the time and ridiculed by later generations."

"Even Yang Tinghe won his love, resigned and left, and was praised by scholars."

"Yuanfu's honors have been accumulated for several years, but your majesty is worried about defeat for one day. I don't know how your majesty can bear to do this."

Zhu Yijun suddenly shook his head and laughed: "So, what Zou Qing means is that if Yuan Fu fails to speak out, he is clinging to power, and if I insist on going my own way, I am doing injustice to my ministers?"

"Once love is stolen, will the minister be disloyal and the master disloyal?"

Zou Yuanbiao didn't seem to hear the displeasure in the emperor's words, and said solemnly: "That's exactly it!"

Zhu Yijun nodded.

He no longer paid attention to Zou Yuanbiao, but looked at Chen Wude: "Chen Qing, you are a recognized gentleman, and you are also the court official who first went to Shu to ask me not to steal my love."

"I don't understand something, please clarify."

This is also why Zhang Juzheng's love-stealing incident caused such a big fuss.

Ministers like Chen Wude, who had worked with the emperor for seven years and advocated new laws, also disapproved of Zhang Juzheng's seizing love.

He even repeatedly took the lead in speaking out, and his fierce words were even more intense than those of Zhao Jin and others.

Chen Wude was unwilling to disgrace the emperor on such an occasion, so he kept silent.

However, when the emperor pointed it out, he could only respond: "I know everything I know."

Zhu Yijun went straight to the point: "Since human ethics are fundamental, why can't we be polite to common people?"

"Since it is a matter of human ethics, why did I only observe mourning for twenty-seven days when my father died?"

Questions like these naturally do not trouble old-fashioned people.

Chen Wude blurted out: "Your Majesty, we, the scholars, have the most important task in the world, which depends on the whole world. We must rectify ourselves and then we can rectify the common people."

"The Master said, "The warehouses are real and you know the etiquette. The common people have too many clothes to cover their bodies and not enough food to eat."

"Therefore, etiquette cannot be extended to common people."

"As for your Majesty..."

"The great filial piety of a saint depends on good succession, the importance of the central affairs, and the military and state's Yin. He should inherit it without hesitation. The sun and the moon change, but the old chapter is suppressed."

Zhu Yijun asked: "The changing of the sun and the moon was created by Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty on his own initiative. It was not taken from the "Li" of Zhou, right?"

Chen Wude was startled.

But he still nodded reluctantly: "It's just as your Majesty said."

Zhu Yijun looked at Chen Wude, Wang Xijue, Chen Younian, Yu Shenxing and other scholars: "It is not true that the common people have warehouses, but the emperor has the power of the military and the state. In this way, there is a way to adapt the mourning system."

"In this case, now Yuan Fu is in charge of the new policy and the urgency of war..."

He paused and said seriously: "There is no escape from the golden leather, is that okay?"

This question is not only asking Chen Wude, but also Chen Wude, Zhao Zhigao and others.

They are also carefully distinguishing between the two groups of people who are now converging.

As soon as the word "Jin Ge Wushao" came out of his mouth, all the officials in the Han Dynasty who were in motion suddenly stopped.

Chen Younian's eyes lit up and he nodded slightly.

Chen Wude hesitated for a long time and seemed to be still thinking about it.

Wang Xijue opened his mouth again to speak.

At this time, Zhao Jin of the Ministry of Rites suddenly said: "Your Majesty's statement that Yuan Fu is in urgent need of war is a bit far-fetched."

After Zhu Yijun heard this, his face fell instantly.

He took a deep breath and calmed down all his expressions.

Then he quietly looked around at the courtiers: "In that case, taking advantage of today's ceremony to worship heaven in the southern suburbs of Yuanqiu, there are six hundred court officials..."

"My lords, please state your stance one by one."

"Those who think it is right to win love should stand to the left! Those who think it is not right to win love should stand to the right!"

"Ma Qing! Shen Qing! You two will lead a class!"

After saying that, Zhu Yijun pointed at Ma Ziqiang and Shen Shixing again.

When the officials saw this, they were instantly in an uproar.

What is the emperor doing!?

Even though Wang Xijue loved the emperor, he couldn't help but change his face and bowed hastily: "Your Majesty, think twice!"

If the emperor does this, doesn't it give those who oppose the new law a legitimate chance to unite the party!?

How unwise!

Zhu Yijun turned a blind eye: "I have thought twice!"

Chen Wude, the censor of the right capital, who had been restraining himself for a while, suddenly regretted that he had not responded to the emperor's words.

He looked pale and remonstrated with a stern voice: "Your Majesty wants to provoke a party struggle with your own hands!?"

The emperor's behavior was beyond his expectation!

Even with the trust of seven years of working together, he couldn't believe that this was what the emperor would do!

When Zhu Yijun saw this, he finally became angry: "Isn't there already a party dispute in the DPRK? Why should Chen Qing pretend to be deaf and dumb?"

"Do you think that Yuan Fu's love-stealing affair is only about human ethics?"

"Do you think that King Lu could not surrender to the vassal state for a time, just because my mother doted on him?"

"Do you know how many rebellious officials and traitors were secretly colluding with the stars last night?"

The emperor suddenly became angry, and his words were full of tiger and wolf words, which shocked people's hearts and minds.
