Rather than saying that the case spread quickly and someone guided it, it is better to say that the person behind the trick had no intention of hiding it at all.

Aristocratic families value reputation and face. Even if they want to start with unfilial piety, it is impossible for Mrs. Yan to go to Jingzhao Mansion to sue Prime Minister Yan in person. He has to use an introduction to say what he wants to say.

Therefore, there is no need to hide your intentions at all. There is a case of rebellious son spreading all over the inner and outer cities of the imperial capital, and the censor of the family party "naturally" thinks that Yan Xiang rebelled against the family when he was young. Isn't it a kind of "different wealth"? ?He has been an official in the imperial capital for the past 20 years, and has been serving as a minister. Has he ever returned to Danchuan to serve his parents?of course not.The relationship between him and his eldest brother Yan Yu, Lord Qing, is obvious to all. It is so indifferent to the point of indifference, and there is no friendship at all.He formed a clique for private interests, took the lead in stopping the book, and aroused the public indignation of the aristocratic family. Isn't it also a different kind of "fighting fiercely" and endangering his parents?

……

Sure enough, in the evening of the same day, Jingcheng Hall received a note from Yushi to participate in the performance of Yan Xiang for the crime of unfilial piety.And that night, Old Man Yan, who followed Tanchuan all the way to the imperial capital, was exhausted from traveling, unfortunately fell ill, and contracted a disease. Loyalty to the king.

Where did the illness come from? Qing Guogong's government didn't say anything to the outside world, but is there any need to ask?Of course he was pissed off by what Yan Mao, a rebellious son, did. Otherwise, what would the old man be doing in the imperial capital instead of spending his days in Tanchuan?

The old man's sickness confirmed Yan Xiang's unfilial piety. In the morning of the next day, more and more repertoires participated in the performance, and they flew into the Jingcheng Hall like snowflakes.

And those descendants of the aristocratic family who had been silent because of the initial decision to stop the book, also "raised their eyebrows" at this time, and they spread the news as quickly as possible in bookstores, taverns, and tea scriptures.

Common people don't know what the same party is against dissidents. Compared with the old mother suing the rebellious son the day before, the high-ranking minister ordered the unfilial parents, which makes people talk about it in private.For a while, the matter of the Yan Mansion quickly became the topic of conversation among the people of the imperial capital after dinner.

For all the officials, Yan Mao's unfilial deeds not only affected himself, but also the suspension of his leadership.After the initial decision of the court meeting on March [-]th, the imperial edict announced to Kyushu was already being drafted, but now it had to be postponed due to the trend of public opinion.

The children from the aristocratic families outside are using the topic to question, filial piety is the foundation of benevolence, a person who lacks even the most basic filial piety, what good can he do?

Dayin advocated the rituals of the Zhou Dynasty, and in "Rites of the Zhou Dynasty · Local Officials · Da Situ" "rectify the people with eight punishments in the village", the first punishment is "unfilial piety".

If such a big hat is buckled down, everything Yan Xiang does is wrong.

The emperor looked at an excerpt for envoys, and listed a lot of crimes on it, talking about serious things.No one in this world is perfect, and at the same time, in order to fabricate charges against each other, he wished that the other party would be extravagant if he wanted to have an extra bite of food.

The emperor knew that the original intention of these people was to prevent the closure of the book, but at this time, even if they were allowed to fulfill their wish, they would not give up until they had stripped their appearances.

Yan Mao sat in the position of Shang Shuling for almost ten years.In the past, although he seized power arbitrarily, acted recklessly, and made troubles for the aristocratic party from time to time, but it was not like this time's suspension, shaking the cornerstone of almost all aristocratic connections for the next century.As long as there is such a time, the aristocratic family will unite and not allow him to assume the post of prime minister.

Ling Ye came to the throne in a fashionable and young age. Yan Mao was one of the three auxiliary ministers appointed by the late emperor before his death. Ren Weicong Yipin Shangshu Ling, the limelight is so strong, and Ying Guogong Su Que, who is the auxiliary minister, will give him three points.

Many people in the court objected, including Yan Mao's father and elder brother, who believed that his qualifications were too young to be a prime minister, but the late emperor Qiankun was arbitrary and decisive.

Ling Ye knew why.

When he was the prince, he didn't really select the three masters of the prince. Like other princes, he was taught by Taifu Shen in the Hall of Sizhi.The first emperor would not give special treatment to any of his sons, and he had to fight for what he wanted.

Yan Mao was still very young at that time, and Gu Huiyin, Empress Chengde, was his bole.Because of the queen's appreciation, Yan Mao broke through the Yan Chuan Yan family's ban, and successfully passed the palace examination. Finally, relying on his own talent, he was appointed as Tanhua by the late emperor.In addition, Empress Gu recommended him to Xuesheng Master Han as a disciple, Yan Mao's official career can be described as smooth.

When Ling Ye was six years old and officially entered school, Empress Chengde ordered a group of prince guests as assistant teachers for him, among them was Yan Mao, and the late emperor also agreed.But in fact, the prince's guest is a loose official with no title and no real position. Most of the time, it is only used as a seal. In addition, Yan Mao was promoted by Empress Chengde, so this move did not attract many people's attention. The courtiers only regarded him as His Majesty. It is to save face for the Queen and Master Han.

In fact, it seems to be true. Despite having the title of Prince's guest, Yan Mao rarely set foot in the East Palace. Like his teacher, he is a pure minister who does not participate in any prince's battles.

But almost no one knew that when Ling Ye was seven years old, Empress Chengde passed away, he lost support in the palace, and his mother's family, the Gu family in the north, guarded the frontier, beyond his reach.In addition, when Concubine Zhong Gui was made her successor, the two princes under her knees, King Qi and King Jing, were both Ling Ye's formidable enemies.

In the long years of seizing the heirloom, apart from the care of his aunt Changning Princess Chang, there was also a person behind him who often made plans in secret.On the surface, Yan Mao was impartial in the court, but he still did not step into the Eastern Palace, and would only use the Eastern Palace shadow guards to pass on a few words when the prince needed them. He said very little, but his ideas were often sharp and bold, penetrating inside.

Of course this couldn't be hidden from the late Emperor's eyes, but he allowed it.

In the 13th year of Tianhe, the first emperor died, and Yan Mao took over the Shangshutai.

In the first two years, he did fulfill his duties as an auxiliary minister, and in private he often gave advice on the new emperor's articles and policies.

But everyone knows that the ambitions nourished by power will expand day by day, and Yan Mao, who holds power in his hands, is of course not immune, so he began to form cliques and form his own faction. But I don't plan to assist the emperor anymore, and I will take over the power.

Duke Zhen and Duke Ying parted ways with him, and Master Han also accused him of being unfaithful and unrighteous. He was not only sorry for Empress Chengde's kindness in the past, but also for the unconventional support of the late emperor.

In fact, many times later, even Ling Ye, an insider, was shaken by Yan Xiang's original intention.

In the twelfth lunar month of the second year of Xuanxi, the king of Qi was delighted to have a son, and the queen mother was very happy, and ordered all the officials to congratulate her.The power of the mother and son is at its peak, and the ambition of the wolf son is well known to all courts.

Another day is the third year of Xuanxi, Yan Xiang entered the palace to have an audience on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Shunxing Festival, and had a talk with the emperor——

"A loyal and pure minister must have a reputation. There are many things that cannot be done, but a tyrannical minister can. Your Majesty already has many loyal ministers around him. Both Duke Zhen and Duke Ying belong to the same clan. There are family descendants who need their protection. Don’t let your reputation be false.”

Ling Ye knew what this meant. People lived for a lifetime, one for fame and two for profit. At the level of Yan Xiang, they must be included in the history of the country.He chose this path today, how could he escape in the future?People just want to believe what they see, no one cares what he's doing behind the scenes.The history books have concluded that Yan Mao will be mentioned a hundred years later, and everyone will only know that he is ungrateful and unjust, and he is not a loyal person.

"...But what about Yunfei?" the emperor said.

Yan Mao is a person with a strong ego, and his emotions towards Yun Fei have always been complicated. He really couldn't show paternal love to this child who was wrongly born due to calculations.

But Yan Mao also hopes that Yun Fei is doing well.

Duke Qing's mansion raised Yun Fei, obviously with ulterior motives.

"Your Majesty, please protect him."

Of course Ling Ye could do it, but he didn't want this teacher who had been helping him since childhood to criticize him with words and pens in the future, so that he wouldn't even get the name he deserved.

At that time, Yan Xiang said, "When I was young, I made up my mind. If I can achieve one of the 'four deeds', this life will not be in vain. I also hope that your majesty will bring peace to all generations."

……

On the seventeenth day of March in the ninth year of Xuanxi, Ling Ye looked at the countless censors in the royal case, and thought, what can he do to save him?

He can no longer tell that Yan Xiang is the emperor's teacher, and he can't even argue for it himself.

Old Master Yan's move was simple but deadly, blocking all his paths——

On his head is the empress dowager Zhong.

In recent years, the relationship between mother and child in the two palaces has been too sensitive.Back then when King Qi rebelled, Empress Dowager Zhong was the birth mother of King Qi, and her unrighteousness came first, so Ling Ye was able to punish the three clans of the Zhong family in the liquidation, cut off her minions in the inner court of the previous court, and put her under semi-house arrest in the Palace of Mercy and Harmony. It is also exempted for women from outside and abroad to enter the palace on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year to ask for peace, and only pull it out for a while during the New Year and holidays.

When it comes to etiquette, this is probably a kind of unfilial piety, but no one in the ruling and opposition parties dares to say it.

But now it's different.

Once the emperor recognizes Yan Xiang as an unfilial emperor teacher, what will the people of the world think of his mother-child relationship with the queen mother?

He knows what the big families will say when they get together——

"The Son of Heaven can't be wrong. The one who is wrong can only be the Emperor's Teacher. It is the Emperor's Teacher who did not lead by example, which made His Majesty lose his filial piety to his aunt."

"The Empress Dowager was blinded by the evil of the abolished King of Qi. These years, she ate fast and recited Buddhism in Ci'an Palace, praying for the country. Your Majesty sets an example for the people of Kyushu. She should forgive her mother's faults and serve her mother as filial piety."

As the teacher of the emperor, if he fails to set a good example for the emperor, the crime of Yan Xiang will only be heavier than that of unfilial piety, and he will become the sinner of the entire Dayin Kyushu, and there is no redemption for death.

Regardless of Ling Ye's willingness or not, the queen mother will definitely be much better at that time, at least she will be able to regain a lot of power belonging to the lord of the inner court. King Qi is gone, but she still has a son in Jiangjin City, Wanzhou.

Back then, Yan Xiang chose this path of blasphemy and loyalty in order to cut off the influence of the Queen Mother, King Qi, and King Jing, and restore the world to a peaceful and prosperous world.

In this way, after years of planning, it was destroyed in one day.

Ling Ye knew very well that with Yan Xiang's temperament, he would never agree.What's more, after this incident, even if the emperor followed the family party's request and withdrew the decree of the suspension, Prime Minister Yan would never continue to sit in the position of Shang Shuling.

However, Yan Xiang was charged with unfilial piety.

According to the law of Dayin, except for treason, treason, treason, and unfilial piety, there is room for redemption for the ten heinous crimes, and the ruling is based on the emperor's holy will.Only the first four crimes are despised by the world and cannot be forgiven, and must be severely punished in order to appease the anger of the king and the people.

Among them, unfilial piety, the sage said: "The five punishments belong to three thousand, and there is no crime greater than unfilial piety."

If you are unfilial and abandon the city, you cannot be redeemed by officials and money.

No one in this world can save Yan Mao unless Mrs. Yan comes forward.

It is also difficult for Ling Ye to stop scrolling, and it is also difficult to stop.

He has a countermeasure to stop, but he has no way to save Yan Mao.

Of course, the family members would not give him time to think and breathe. They had almost woven the accusations against Yan Xiang, and the next day they jointly put pressure on the emperor, asking him to remove Yan Mao from his position and dismiss him for investigation.A single family might not be something to be afraid of, but when they are in a group, the emperor should be cautious.

Today is March [-]th, and tomorrow is the Dachaohui. The imperial decree to stop scrolling should have been announced to Kyushu today, but it didn't.

——It will determine the foundation of the family's future connections, and at the same time determine the life and death of Yan Xiang.

Ling Ye knew how to choose wisely, but he couldn't make up his mind.He was sitting in the empty Jingcheng Hall, watching the rising sun and seeing the sunset, he was thinking, take it easy, take another ten years, is it okay?

The last rays of the setting sun disappeared into the sky, and it was getting dark, Chu Heng pushed open the door, and there was a thin booklet on the tray.

Yan Xiang began to reflect behind closed doors from now on, and at the same time wrote a memorial to the emperor for the last time in the name of Shang Shuling, and there was only one sentence written on it——

"I hope that Your Majesty will bring peace to all generations."

--------------------

In fact, the ending was decided a long time ago, but I have been very entangled in writing.Everyone, the 00 son of Xuanxi Nine Years is not a panacea.Neither are flowers.

In addition, regarding the crime of unfilial piety, you should have heard the idiom "ten evils are not forgiven". Unfilial piety is one of the ten evils, and it was a very serious crime in ancient times.For example, Kong Rong, who made pears, was sentenced to death for his unfilial remarks; Liu Shuang in the Han Dynasty sued his father for treason, and was sentenced to death by Emperor Wu for being unfilial; His father was about to be executed, but his whole family testified and defended him, and he was dismissed by Zhang Baibai. In the Qing Dynasty, because of his unfilial mother, he skinned himself, and then implicated the patriarch, and was hanged. Various relatives sat together. This case has a special background, but to be able to be sentenced like this is first of all unfilial piety, which is already a very serious crime); in the law of the Han Dynasty, any parent who accuses his son of unfilial piety must be punished with the death penalty of abandoning the market.
