Chapter 12 Kneeling statue more than a hundred years in advance
Fang Jin was slightly stunned, unable to touch why Zhu Biao asked this question, and he replied without thinking: "It should be... Zhao Gou? After all, Yue Fei wanted to welcome the two Emperors Hui and Qin back, and threatened Zhao Gou."
People in later generations often quarreled over who Zhao Gou and Qin Hui were the main responsible persons for Yue Fei's death, and each expressed his views.
At this moment, Qin Hui's kneeling statue has not been built yet, and his reputation is far less stinky than later generations, and it is almost as well-known as a household name.
Until the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, Qin Hui, his wife Wang, Prime Minister Wan Qi Cheng, General Wang Jun and others were built into kneeling statues and kneeled in front of Yue Fei's curtain.
It was also from the middle of the Ming Dynasty that Qin Hui's reputation became increasingly bad, surpassing most treacherous officials in history. However, by the end of the Ming Dynasty, some literati complained about Qin Hui, believing that Zhao Gou was the culprit, and Qin Hui was just an accomplice.
The emperor took the blame, which was a consensus among the literati in the late Ming Dynasty. Not only in this dynasty, but also in the previous dynasty.
Zhu Biao opened a page of "History of Song" and said: "Temujin was once humiliated by the Jin people, so the history of the former Yuan Dynasty would not deliberately slander the Southern Song Dynasty and elevate the Jin Dynasty. There is no problem with reliability."
"The History of the Song Dynasty" describes the fourth year of Shaoxing, Zhao Gou appointed Yue Fei's Qingyuan Army's Jiedushi, which was the youngest Jiedushi in the Song Dynasty. He also granted him the right to report secretly, so that he could bypass the Privy Council and talk to the emperor directly. Zhao Gou obviously focused on cultivating Yue Fei as his confidant."
This is like the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty, which could bypass the cabinet and directly talk to the emperor, thus making the cabinet very taboo.
Fang Jin remained silent and continued to sit quietly.
He knew that Zhu Biao obviously hated Qin Hui even more between Qin Hui and Zhao Gou.
"Is Zhao Gou abdicated at his fifties and has been the Supreme Emperor who has been without power for twenty years? Is he willing?" Zhu Biao narrowed his eyes slightly and asked unexpectedly, "Lao Fang, do you think there have been voluntary abdication throughout the ages and throughout the world. Is the emperor?"
"The wise kings of Yao, Shun and Yu in ancient times?" Fang Jin thought about it and said in a low voice.
Zhu Biao smiled disdainfully and said unexpectedly: "Sima Qian's "Records of the Grand Historian" can be written much later than "Bamboo Anniversary"! Lao Fang, do you think it was Sima Qian of the Western Han Dynasty who knew more about that era, or Spring and Autumn The princes and nobles of the period.”
Normally, the closer it is to that era, the more real the events recorded will be.
As time goes by, it can be described with the Spring and Autumn style with subjective consciousness, which is no different from unofficial history.
In Zhu Biao's view, the throne was never voluntarily given up. The only one who voluntarily abdicated was Qianlong, who was the Supreme Emperor for five years, but he only gave up the throne but did not give up power.
"Your Highness..." Fang Jin smiled bitterly, "This "Bamboo Anniversary" can be listed as a banned book by Confucianism. If those literati know that Your Highness reads this book, they will probably chatter again!"
This book is unprecedented in subversion of Confucian thought. Later generations praised this book as a "pseudo-history" by Confucian classics such as "Records of the Grand Historian", "Shangshu", and "Spring and Autumn Annals", and exposes the lie that "abdication" is a lie fabricated by Confucianism. .
The three kings of Yao, Shun and Yu were imprisoned, exiled, and seized power when the other party was old. There was never a peaceful handover.
In "Records of the Grand Historian", Yi Yin, the teacher of Shang Tang, the founding monarch of the Shang Dynasty, assisted the king of three generations of kings, with an almost perfect image.
However, in "Bamboo Anniversary", he completely had a negative image of "powerful ministers oppressing young masters".
"Those literati?" Zhu Biao chuckled and said disdainfully, "It was the father who asked the orphans to see it, in order to understand people's hearts more. How dare they speak nonsense!"
"Emperor!" Fang Jin exclaimed.
He understood a little why Zhu Yuanzhang launched the "Hu Weiyong case" and the "Li Shanchang case".
Lao Zhu never believed that there would be any wise prime minister. The purpose of the prime minister was to become a powerful minister and then restrict the imperial power.
In this way, it is better to simply abolish the phase once and for all.
Zhu Biao put down the "History of Song" in his hand and said slowly: "Lao Fang, I will entrust you one thing to let the whole Daming know the heroic deeds of Yue Wu and Prince Yue, and at the same time let Qin Hui be with him.
The party is notorious and everyone scolds it!”
He decided to move the timeline forward, from the original mid-Ming Dynasty to the current early Ming Dynasty, and widely publicize the deeds of Yue Fei and Qin Hui in both official and civil channels.
If you don’t fight for the position of public opinion, the enemy will seize it.
"Your Highness let go, I will definitely complete the tasks assigned by you!" Fang Jin replied immediately after hearing this.
Zhu Biao continued to instruct, "By the way, there is another thing. Lao Fang, you must promote the deeds of Qin Hui, who added nine Ci before his death. In short, Qin Hui's crime was the greatest for the death of Prince Yue.
.The orphan was determined in this way, so that the literati of later generations could not overturn the case again!”
Qin Hui did add nine gifts, but few people know about it.
After Fang Jin came back to his senses, he suddenly realized in his heart.
Your Highness has the means!
After all, some people always think that Zhao Gou is the culprit in Yue Fei's death, and Qin Hui is just a white glove to execute the order. But if the world wants to know that Qin Hui has added nine gifts, it would be a different evaluation.
After all, in history, almost all the powerful ministers who added nine gifts had been usurped the throne, and the emperor was willing to add nine gifts to powerful ministers, but he had to do it in order to protect himself.
However, Qin Hui died of illness within a few months after adding nine gifts.
In this way, it would be inappropriate for later literati to curb the pot to Zhao Gou again.
Fang Jin nodded, then thought of something, his heart moved slightly, and then silently stretched his head and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, I have an idea, why not set a kneeling statue for Qin Hui and his wife Wang, so that he can kneel down for life.
Repent in front of Prince Yue’s tomb.”
Lao Fang, you finally mentioned this!
After hearing this, Zhu Biao stood up, his eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh and shouted: "Old Fang has a good idea! You can do this in person and support me! If someone stops you, you will talk about the idea of the prince in the current dynasty!
”
He felt that such acting skills could bring up the young and handsome guys from later generations to torture.
Fang Jin looked at the prince with an excited face and realized in a daze that his unintentional sentence had changed history. The statue of Qin Hui, who had originally appeared in the Zhengde period, was actually 150 years ahead of schedule.
"Your Highness, who will do this matter immediately?" Fang Jin replied immediately.
"Go and go!" Zhu Biao waved his hand with a smile.
After leaving the gate, Fang Jin raised his head so hard that he suddenly remembered something.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Biao to read "Bamboo Anniversary", and Zhu Biao himself was disdainful to those Confucian scholars. Could it be that there was something strange about the death of the crown prince Zhu Biao in history?
Is Zhu Yuanzhang's choice of Zhu Yunwen also a compromise in helplessness?
