Fighting is not good, especially bad - talk about the broken things that emperors and ministers have not been able to move on the table 01020304

Recently, the news of a fight between tourists in a certain zoo has aroused widespread concern from the public. Although in recent years, with the improvement of the quality of the population, the degree of social civilization has made great progress, it is not surprising that some small conflicts and disputes have occurred in daily life. However, the main reason why this small matter can rush to the news hot search is that the park side warns and reminds the public in a creative way after the fact:

"According to insiders, the animals near the site of the two sides of the fight were the first time to see the fight scene between humans, which impressed them, and some animal families followed suit in the animal house that night, the scene was out of control for a while, and under the patient education of the keeper, the animals knew that the fight was not good, especially bad."

It can be seen that fighting is really not a good thing, not only will it affect public order, teach bad children, and even small animals will inevitably follow suit. Therefore, in the future, if you encounter a similar situation, before the blood is on the head, it is better to finally consider and then make a decision, so as not to become a bad example for cats, dogs, dogs, tigers, dogs, and bears.

Fighting is a basic survival skill for animals, and there is no need for stupid humans to teach them

Of course, the above is gossip, jokes, and as soon as the blood is on the head, you can't help but wave your fist, and I'm afraid that it will not be forbidden for another thousand and eight hundred years. After all, Mengfuzi had opened up this matter more than two thousand years ago, "the reason why people are different from birds and beasts is a few Xi" (Mencius, Vol. VIII, Leaving Lou Zhangxia) - human beings, who are known as the primates of all things, are actually only very different from animals, so it is human instinct to squander the streets and fight. Even if it can be controlled to varying degrees after indoctrination and punishment, it is also a symptom but not a cure, even if it is a pure gentleman who is known as gentle as jade, he can't help but speak with his fist in some cases.

So, today we will talk about the story of the fights between the emperors and ministers who seem to be the most moral in history.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7">01</h1>

Before telling the story of the fight, first tell a person who has not done anything, but the nature is worse and more faceless.

One day during the Xianping period of the Northern Song Dynasty, two people named Xue Anshang and Xue Anmin ran to Kaifeng Province to complain to their stepmother Chai Shi for trying to embezzle the family property and remarry. It is reasonable to say that this case can be directly decided by the Kaifeng Government without accepting it, why? Because Erxue's accusation against his mother (even if it was his stepmother) was one of the ten evil sins of filial piety, the government could directly sentence the unfilial son to punishments such as scepter, imprisonment, and exile without having to study the facts of the case in detail, and even directly slash him. After all, even if the emperor pardons the world, such criminals also belong to the list of pardonable and unforgivable, and there will never be a chance to overturn the case.

Fighting is not good, especially bad - talk about the broken things that emperors and ministers have not been able to move on the table 01020304

In ancient times, filial piety was a felony no less severe than rebellion, and not only did the society die, but if it was not good, it would also have to die

On the contrary, if parents sue their children, even false accusations will not be held responsible, as the law of the time said.

However, the Kaifeng government did not dare to cut Er Xue on the spot, and did not even hit his ass. Why, because Er Xue's father is called Xue Weiji, and his grandfather is called Xue Juzheng.

That's right, it was the editor-in-chief of the "History of the Old Five Dynasties" and the prime minister at the beginning of the northern Song Dynasty, who had to crouch next to Zhao Jiong's spiritual seat of Emperor Taizong of Song after his death (with the temple court of Emperor Taizong). Therefore, the Kaifeng Government realized that the small temple could not hold the big immortal, so it quickly handed over the case and kicked the ball to the Imperial History Platform.

Yu Shi, the profession is not with the official, not to mention that he is still an official who has been dead for more than 20 years? However, with the trial of the case, Yu Shitai could not hold back, why? Because the two current prime ministers, Zhang Qixian and Xiang Minzhong, were also involved.

It's not that Yushi can't afford to annoy the prime minister, but on the contrary, when he encounters the opportunity to fight with the prime minister, he is like a hungry wolf catching a sheep with golden eyes. After all, if a royal historian wins the battle, it means that the future is bright, and even if the fight is lost, it will be famous in the world, why not enjoy it? However, the problem is that the configuration of the prime ministers of the Great Song Dynasty was "three phases and two references", but the situation of three prime ministers being full or single is rare, most of them are two identical columns and different theories, which has the space for Yushi to catch a poor chase and fight and thus profit. At present, the two prime ministers are involved in the case, not to mention whether the royal history with small arms and thin legs has the ability to overthrow both prime ministers, even if it can do it, what is the benefit? If you can't make a big mess in the court, even the emperor has to hate himself, who wants to do such a thing that is not beneficial?

Fighting is not good, especially bad - talk about the broken things that emperors and ministers have not been able to move on the table 01020304

There are very few truly iron-faced and selfless imperial histories, and most of them are unprofitable and premature

So the panicked Yushitai continued to play the ball and submitted the case to the imperial court of Zhao Heng of Song Zhenzong.

Zhao Heng opened the case file and looked at it, and his head was suddenly as big as a bucket.

It turned out that this widow Chai Shi was a rich woman, and the dowry alone was worth 100,000 yuan. Therefore, as soon as Xue Weiji hung up, the Chai family immediately became a fragrant feast, and the shameless men whose eyes were full of Brother Kong Fang came to the door to ask for marriage, and they were almost flattening the door of the Xue family. And Zhang Qixian and Xiang Minzhong were not exempt from vulgarity, and they offered their love and care to the Chai clan despite the respect of the prime minister.

In the absence of Zhao Heng's participation in the competition (of course, Zhao Heng also married a re-wife Liu E as empress), the two prime ministers were of course the most competitive in Chai's heart. However, compared with Xiang Minzhong, Zhang Qixian, who was "rich in posture and generous in discussion" ("Song Shi, vol. 265, Liechuan 24"), was more favored by the Chai clan as a looking party, and Xiang Minzhong, who had lost his wife and folded his face, was not happy, so he instigated Xue Weiji's two stupid sons to sue the Chai clan for embezzling his father's property, which caused such a lot of trouble.

Zhao Heng was not a Ming Jun, and he was not interested in mixing with the gossip of his courtiers, so he wanted to confuse things with thin mud. Who knows Xiang and Zhang do not give in, there is endless debate on the table, and there are also small actions under the table, if it were not for the fact that both of them were bad old men in their fifties and sixties, they would have to stage a "contest to recruit relatives" in front of Zhao Heng.

In the end, Zhao Heng was annoyed, and simply kicked away the two prime ministers who were not good birds at first glance--Zhang Qixian was demoted to Tai Changqing and Sub-Division Xijing, and his son Zhang Zongzhi was demoted to Haizhou Beichai, and Xiang Minzhong was made a household attendant, and yongxingjun was known. And the widow Chai Shi also failed to marry Zhang Qixian, and was also fined eight pounds of copper, and the Xue brothers who sued their mother for their sons certainly could not escape the corresponding punishment.

Fighting is not good, especially bad - talk about the broken things that emperors and ministers have not been able to move on the table 01020304

Zhang Qixian was one of the very few Northern Song civil servants who had defeated the Khitans on the battlefield

In this regard, Cheng Yi once pointed out to the point that these so-called gentlemen and famous courtiers who look moral and calm are actually no different from ordinary people, and sometimes even more unbearable. Even if you can't say a belly of male thieves and female prostitutes, it is actually not much better:

"This dynasty xiang minzhong has a measure, to the point of appearance, but he and Zhang Qixian to fight for a wife, for him to have 100,000 sacs." (Book 10 of the Second Journey)

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="116">02</h1>

It is also thanks to the fact that Zhao Heng is not a descendant of Zhao Kuangyin, the grandfather of the Song Dynasty, otherwise he might really learn from his own ancestors and let Zhang Qixian and Xiang Minzhong play a contest in front of the imperial court.

After all, Zhao Kuangyin had really done something similar.

In the eighth year of Kaibao (975 AD), the Examination of the YihaiKe Temple was being held, and Emperor Zhao Kuangyin sat on it, looking down at the world's talents who were about to "enter the Wu Dynasty", when suddenly he saw two figures jumping out of the crowd and rushing straight towards him with lightning speed.

What is this for? Could it be the Assassin King killer? No, it's just a new section of soldiers coming to hand in the papers.

At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the imperial examination system was not yet perfect, so many jokes were made

At the beginning of the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, although the imperial examination system imitated the previous dynasty, it was not without changes. For example, the content of the examination in the temple examination is "one endowment, one poem and one theory", but the level of candidates who can pass the ceremonial examination is not bad, and Zhao Kuangyin did not expect the "magic trick" of letting the courtiers who are full of learning approve the papers and set their own rankings. At the same time, his own literary level was not very high, and he was afraid of losing face by mistake, so he came up with an idea- "Every person who advances the volume gives the first person and the first" ("Guitian Lu, Volume I").

In other words, whoever is the first to hand in the papers is the champion.

Some people may question, if the candidates turn in the white paper in order to hurry up or write a few strokes indiscriminately, and the quality of the article is not qualified, can they also become a winner? This situation is basically impossible to happen, because this is called "deceiving the king and being reckless", which is also a crime of unforgivable sins, and not only can not get the title, but also can not be guaranteed, but also has to be punished.

Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin's idea is still very reliable. Under the premise of ensuring quality, the fast submission of the papers means that the brain is quick, the brain is flexible, and it is probably not much worse to become an official in the future. However, this time there was an accident, that is, Wang Sizong and Chen Zhi, who were the first to hand in the papers, not only wrote the article without distinction, but even the speed of the sprint was not different, at least Zhao Kuangyin's naked eyes alone could not distinguish who was the first to "hit the line".

How can this be done? It's actually easy to do. Zhao Kuangyin waved a big hand and ordered Wang Sizong and Chen Zhi to fight with their bare hands, and whoever won the battle was The Champion. As a result, Wang Sizong "did not talk about martial virtue", and grabbed Chen Zhi's hat - Renzi Lu was still "a gentleman dies, the crown is inevitable", Chen Zhi's face is not thick enough, so in order to keep the hat exposed, he was knocked to the ground by Wang Sizong, so he had no connection with Yuanyuan.

Hand fighting and sumo wrestling were both popular competitions during the Song Dynasty

Don't you think it's a bit strange? Zhao Kuangyin humiliated the scholars so much, why did the two Song Dynasties have a "good name" for treating the scholars? In fact, the so-called "do not kill scholars and scholars" are actually rumors spread by the later emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, who let the scholars spread unscrupulously, and the old Zhao did not care about killing a few scholars, but also killed a lot of special killings -- according to historical records, Zhao Kuangyin killed more than 80 ministers in one go on charges of rebellion, corruption, and dereliction of duty during his 16-year reign, from privy councillors and state assassins to commanders and county orders. After that, Zhao Lao'er, who had taken the throne, even dared to slaughter his own emperor's eldest brother, so who would care about any "ancestral training"? So I killed a dozen in a row.

How could Zhao Kuangyin, who slaughtered a doctor like a chicken, set up a special monument to prohibit his descendants from continuing to enjoy themselves? This makes logical sense.

Killing people doesn't care, let the two students wrestle in front of the imperial court to fight a laugh, what is the matter for Old Zhao? Moreover, compared with Liu Bang, the Han Taizu who peed in the Confucian hat, Zhao Kuangyin humiliated the Qishi Doctor, not to mention more.

For example, once when Old Zhao discussed the issue of the era name with the ministers, he felt that "Qiande" was good, and he also thought that no one had used it before. At this time, Zhao Pu, who was good at patting his ass, also followed along on the side, and as a result, he was punched in the face on the spot by Lu Doxun, who has always been in arrears in emotional intelligence - this era number was used in Houshu 40 years ago, how can the tangtang Great Song use a second-hand goods as an era number?

At this time, Old Zhao's face was nowhere to be put away. But as an emperor, how can you admit your mistake in front of your courtiers? So he became angry with Zhao Pu, and he picked up a brush and scribbled on Old Zhao's face, which was discouraged. Moreover, Zhao Pu did not dare to wash his face when he went home, until the next day, Zhao Kuangyin felt that it was too bad for the prime minister to flaunt his face with a big flower, which made him wash it off.

Zhao Pu just lost face, others provoked Zhao Kuangyin, and the front teeth could not be saved:

"Taizu tasted the finches in the back garden, and there were a group of courtiers who said that there was an urgent matter to see, and Taizu was eager to see it, and the music he played was a common thing. Angered, he questioned him, and said, "The subject thinks that he is still anxious to play the sparrow." The upper and angrier, the handle of the axe of the pillar hit its mouth, and fell two teeth, and its man Xu picked up his teeth and put them in his arms. Shang scolded: 'Ru Huai's teeth want to sue me for evil?' "A subject cannot sue His Majesty, but should have a history official book." (Shushui Chronicles, Volume 1)

Emperors like Zhao Kuangyin who wantonly humiliated and even beat their courtiers were rare, but they were not uncommon. Moreover, the more famous and capable the emperor is, the more he loves to do such a bad thing.

Fighting is not good, especially bad - talk about the broken things that emperors and ministers have not been able to move on the table 01020304

Zhao Kuangyin, like Liu Bang, liked to humiliate the Confucians who annoyed them

For example, those who can be called the First Emperor of the Ages are only two and a half in ancient times - the undisputed first emperor and Tang Taizong Li Shimin, and the controversial one is the Kangxi Emperor, and these three seem to have moved roughly above the court.

However, the First Emperor took his sword and slashed the assassin Jing Ke several times, and according to the History of Ye, once Li Shimin was provoked by the eldest son Wujie, he pulled the brother-in-law into the side hall and punched and kicked him. Relatively certain is that Qing Shengzu Ai Xinjue Luo Xuan Ye once beat up Wu Yingdian University scholar and Hubu Shangshu Maqi.

After the first depose of Crown Prince Yinrong in the forty-seventh year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1708 AD), Xuan Ye soon regretted it and began to plan the restoration of the crown prince. However, Yin Rong had been abolished for only a year, and now he had to be busy helping him straighten out, and Xuan Ye also felt a bit of a slap in the face. However, the solution was not nothing, that is, to let the confidant ministers take the initiative to nominate Yin Rong to be reinstated, and then the emperor refuted it several times in a righteous and stern manner, and finally reluctantly agreed to it, so that he could not only handle the matter, but also not lose face.

So Xuan Ye summoned the Minister of Culture and Martial Arts, asked them to elect one of his sons as crown princes, and deliberately left himself alone—the choice of your own, I will follow the current:

"In the midst of the brothers, one of them is protected, and the eldest brother is very wrong and abusive, and in addition to the brothers, the people discuss who belongs to him, and they follow it." (Records of the Ancestors of the Qing Dynasty, Vol. 235, Kangxi 47 November C)

However, in order to ensure that Yin Rong could be elected, Xuan Ye still tried his best. Not only did he talk in front of the ministers about his deep feelings with Empress Herschel (i.e., Yin Rong's biological mother) and the empress's pity, but he also estimated that in private, he did not give a small look of understanding to those important ministers who had the right to promote, and he also passed on small notes.

The so-called Ming Jun is not unable to do wrong things, the key is not to delay serious things

However, what surprised Xuan Ye was that after some painstaking planning by him, the important courtiers led by Tong Guowei, Ma Qi, Aling'a, Orendai, Yu Xu, and Wang Hongxu actually ignored the "holy will" and jointly elected the eighth son of the emperor, Yin Yu, as the crown prince.

This made Xuan Ye not lightly angry, and he also had to punch himself in the face, let go of the promise of "who belongs to the people, and follow it", personally take the initiative to restore Yin Rong as the prince, and turn the grand ceremony of the country into a farce.

But how can Xuan Ye swallow this breath? So the revenge from the emperor soon came.

In the first month of the following year, Xuan Ye revived the old matter, tracking down the collusion between the courtiers and Yin Yu, and pointing his head directly at Ma Qi.

Why Mazi? Because Xuan Ye wanted to find stubble, only Ma Qi's small braids were in his hand--long before the edict elected the prince, Xuan Ye felt that Ma Qi was unreliable, and specifically issued an edict asking him not to participate. As a result, this cargo was not only mixed in, but also jumped more happily than anyone else when he was protecting Yin Yu, and Xuan Ye didn't pick him up?

So Xuan Ye reprimanded Ma Qi, and when it came to excitement, he couldn't help but scold. But he forgot that Ma Qi was also an authentic Manchurian, not only short-tempered but also fierce, not accustomed to the emperor's illness at all, and confronted him on the spot.

At this time, If Xuan Ye did not have a ghost, he could not care about the identity of the emperor, and actually jumped off the throne and "beat Ma Qi" ("Chinese Historical Materials in the Records of the Lee Dynasty of Joseon, Volume 11"), that is, a big fight.

It is said that when Xuan Ye was 56 years old and Ma Qi was 58 years old, the two old men picked up Wang Baquan at the highest state council of the Qing Dynasty, and the picture was simply not too beautiful... However, even if Ma Qi was fierce and strong in martial arts, he did not dare to punch His Majesty the Emperor with old fists, and it was estimated that he was basically defending and protecting his head and face. But even so, the old horse was beaten so badly that when he was beaten by the emperor, he left with a righteous anger.

Xuan Ye Rong costume. But I estimate that with the small physique of the Kangxi Emperor, if the fair contest is not enough, It should not be able to beat Ma Qi

However, Xuan Ye was also a Ming Jun after all, although the public beating of the minister was very unorthodox, and afterwards he threw a tantrum in order to hide his shame, but in the end he did not take Ma Qi like that, and after two years he made a comeback.

There are emperors who beat ministers in public, and naturally there will be no less ministers beating up the emperor. For example, during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Eastern Wei dynasty official Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng's Lao Tzu is the most famous neurotic Gao Huan in Chinese history. It is said that Old Father Gao is very mentally unstable, and when he goes crazy, he kills people like pigs and dogs, and even his son is beaten to the point of no human form, so Gao Cheng has also inherited this feature, and he can't take care of anything at once, even if it is facing the emperor.

So on a certain occasion when he was drinking with Emperor Yuan Shan of Wei Xiaojing, this product beat the emperor up:

"Wen Xiang (Gao Cheng) tasted the waiter's drink and said in a big way: 'Chen Cheng persuaded His Majesty to drink.'" The emperor was displeased, saying: "Since ancient times, there is no country that has been immortal, so why should it be used for this life!" Wen Xiang angrily said, "朕! I! Dog's foot decay! Wen Xiang made Ji Shu beat the emperor three times and rushed out. (Book of Wei, Vol. XII, Xiao Jingji XII)

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="126">03</h1>

Compared to the fists and kicks that occur between monarchs and courtiers, the fights between ministers are not so sensational, but in fact, they are not uncommon.

In the Xuanwumen Rebellion that broke out in the last years of Tang Wude, Li Shimin's fierce general Wei Chigong shot Li Yuanji with arrows and threatened Li Yuan, which was the number one hero. Afterwards, Wei Chigong was proud of his merits and acted arrogantly, and often competed with the emperor's confidants such as Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruyi, and others, making people extremely popular, but they did not know themselves.

Fighting is not good, especially bad - talk about the broken things that emperors and ministers have not been able to move on the table 01020304

Wei Chigong was the number one fierce general under Li Shimin. But since he beat Li Daozong, he has not been reused

In the sixth year of Zhenguan (632 AD), Li Shimin feasted on the courtiers, and Wei Chigong was also listed, but he quarreled with people because of the seat arrangement. At this time, Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng County, came to persuade him to fight, but Wei Chigong did not know what to do, but instead became angry with the former, and almost blinded Li Daozong's eyes with a punch.

That's too much. What's more, Li Daozong was not an ordinary clan, but since the passing of Li Shen, the king of Huai'an County, the emperor's biggest supporter in the clan room, and the only clan general who could lead and go on a campaign during the Zhenguan period - if he was compared with Li Daozong's status and trust in Li Shimin's mind, how old was Wei Chigong?

If this were to change the emperor, such as Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, Wei Chigong would have no reason to go if his head was cut off. But Li Shimin was different after all, although he was ruthless to his father and brother, but he was surprisingly generous and tolerant of his courtiers, so he just warned Wei Chigong to get a meal:

"Shang did not hesitate to give up, saying that He was respectful of virtue: 'Seeing that Han Gaozu destroyed the heroes, he always wanted to protect the wealth with Qing and others, so that his descendants would not stop. However, the number of officials in Qingju was a crime committed by Knowing Han and Peng Ling, and it was not the crime of Gao Zu. National discipline, only rewards and punishments, non-divided grace, uncountable, self-cultivation, no regrets! 'Reverence is from the beginning of fear and self-destruction. (Zizhi Tongjian, vol. 194, Tang Dynasty 10)

However, it is a fact that Wei Chigong has not been reused for the remainder of his 27 years.

Compared with the two or three hundred years of other dynasties, there were only one or two cases of ministerial fighting, and the high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the Ming Dynasty were obviously much more "belligerent"—although it is not too numerous to say, but the probability of an all-out martial arts operation in the Ming court is unique in all the dynasties.

Here are a few well-known examples.

Yang Shen, the first of the three talents of the Ming Dynasty, was the author of the well-known Linjiang Immortal ("Rolling Water of the East Of the Yangtze River") at the beginning of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Of course, What makes Yang Shen more famous in qing history is a famous sentence that he said that made countless scholars and doctors boil with blood:

"The 150 years of the nation's nurturing of soldiers, the death of the war, is today." (Ming Shi Vol. 191 Liechuan 79)

Xiao Yang This is the rhythm of life! What happened to the Ming Dynasty? Did the Tatars besiege the city, break into Beijing, or did the thieves enter the customs? Or is the emperor captured, the king of the clan is going to rebel, or the castration wants to rebel?

Fighting is not good, especially bad - talk about the broken things that emperors and ministers have not been able to move on the table 01020304

On the surface, it is a debate about who the emperor recognizes as a father, but in essence, it is a struggle for power and profit, and none of them are just good birds

Anyway, according to Xiao Yang's hot-blooded posture of not sparing death, the Ming Dynasty will definitely want the country to be gone.

In fact, the reason why Yang Dacaizi had to die and live was simply speechless to say -- that is, Emperor Mingshizong Zhu Houxi believed that Zhu Youxi, the king of Xingxian who gave birth to him and raised him, was his own father, and the scholars represented by Yang Shen unanimously believed that only Ming Xiaozong Zhu Youxian could be Zhu Houxi's father, and even if Zhu Youxi could give birth to the latter a hundred times, he could only be regarded as a fake father and a cottage.

This is the great ceremonial discussion incident that has been making a mess of the Ming Dynasty for more than 20 years, and its climax is the Zuo Shunmen Massacre, which made Yang Shen have to "fight for righteousness and death". Why is it called a tragedy? Because Zhu Houxi, who was provoked, picked up a large stick and slammed the ass of a scholar (a total of 134 people were subjected to court staffs, 17 of whom were killed), and also kicked Yang Shen out of the capital, and could not be used for life.

(As a joke, when the Ming Dynasty really needed someone to "fight the festival of righteousness and death", the scholars and doctors hated that "the water was too cold.") Only in this situation, with a high probability of not dying, will the scholars and doctors be willing to show their integrity at the expense of death. )

However, the reason why Yang Shen is so desperate, it is difficult to say how much is for the public and how much is for the private. After all, his father, Yang Tinghe, the former cabinet chief of the Ming Dynasty who personally supported the Jiajing Emperor to the throne, was because of the Great Ceremony Discussion incident and Zhu Houxi's cattle, and as a result, he had to resign from his post and return to his hometown, which made Xiao Yang not resentful?

But even if he was angry again, he could only disgust the emperor endlessly. But for how to clean up other enemies, such as Zhu Houxi's number one supporter Zhang Xuan and Gui Cao, Yang Shen had more ideas.

He found Zhao Jian, the Shangshu of the Punishment Department, to consult with Zhang Chong in the matter, and prepared to contact a group of like-minded people to ambush Zhang Xuan and Gui Cai in the upper and lower dynasties, and it was also the "holy place of killing" in the imperial city (why is it a holy place we will talk later)-Zuo Shunmen, and when he was about his way, he suddenly launched a move to beat these two "traitors" to death.

Fighting is not good, especially bad - talk about the broken things that emperors and ministers have not been able to move on the table 01020304

More than 70 years ago, Yang Shen's predecessors personally beat up wang Zhen's henchmen at Zuo Shunmen

A bunch of students who hadn't even killed a chicken thought the idea was perfect, and it was so decided!

Therefore, in the next few days, there were always a bunch of civilian officials with high and low official positions gathering near Zuo Shunmen, and they were always sneaky probes to probe the brain, which attracted the attention of the emperors such as the factory guards. But before they could react, Gui Calyx came.

Although Yang Shen was planning to devote all his efforts to a battle and wipe out Zhang and Gui, the relationship between the two of them was not good enough to have to go to work hand in hand every day, and now that the plan was exposed, it would be better to catch one and count one than to be futile, right?

So I don't know who burst out a roar, and a group of civilian officials in Wuyang Wuyang twisted their faces, screamed or roared, and possibly rushed to Guicao with their fists waved.

Lao Gui must have been frightened for a moment, but he reacted quickly, so he turned around and ran.

The gap between the two sides is revealed. Gui Cao has been a local official who can do practical things. Since it is inevitable to run everywhere to do things, the result of running around is that the body is great and eats well, so now running away from life is also a healthy walk under the feet. And Yang Shen is mostly the so-called "noble officials" who soak in the Hanlin Courtyard all day long, and the sound of mouth cannons and the brushing of articles are their unique skills, usually the square steps are shaken faster, and they are considered to have the "posture" of the doctor, even if jogging is a hell-level physical fitness project for them. Therefore, Yang Shen is either a slender bean sprout like a woman, or a two-legged pig with a height of six feet and a waist circumference of six feet, even if they chase a few more steps to get a heart attack, they can only watch Gui Cao's smoke and escape without a trace.

So, to say that the students rebelled and didn't succeed in ten years is really not to look down on them--they don't even have the qualifications to look down on them.

Fighting is not good, especially bad - talk about the broken things that emperors and ministers have not been able to move on the table 01020304

Why did Song Ming have to worship literature and suppress martial arts after that? Is it not because the students are all waste, which can reassure the emperor?

The ambush of Gui Calyx was unsuccessful, but it aroused Zhu Houxi's vigilance. The latter immediately promoted Zhang Xuan and Gui Cao to Hanlin scholars (becoming Yang Shen's immediate superiors) and ordered Guo Xun, the Marquis of Wuding, to send troops to protect them. At this time, Yang Shen's hope of staging a full martial arts campaign was completely disappointed, which was the "Festival of Righteous Death" and another Zuo Shunmen massacre.

This is right, after all, for the students, the manual script is to short hit long, one cry, two troubles and three hanging is their housekeeping skill. Although in the end, the ass blossomed, and the official had no future, but is it still a history of the green? Isn't that what they're dreaming of?

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="134">04</h1>

Yang Shen did not play Gui Calyx because his physical fitness was too bad. But if you change a good body, it will be difficult to fight, such as Yin Shidan.

The person Yin Shidan wanted to beat was the high arch of the then first assistant of the cabinet. Among these two people, Lao Yin's official reputation was very good, and Lao Gao was even more capable of being a courtier, and his administrative philosophy had a great influence on the later iron-blooded prime minister Zhang Juzheng.

Fighting is not good, especially bad - talk about the broken things that emperors and ministers have not been able to move on the table 01020304

Yin Shidan was a big Han in Shandong and had first-class physical fitness, so that he would not be as humiliated as Yang Shen, and he couldn't beat anyone if he wanted to

However, instead, we are old Yin, and if we don't get it right, we will also want to beat up the old high.

Why? Because Gao Gong is very good at everything, that is, his temper is too smelly, his behavior is too domineering, and his desire for power is too exuberant--when he first entered the cabinet, as a new Ding, he dared to die with Xu Jie, the first assistant of the old qualifications. After Xu Jie and Gao Gong'er entered the cabinet, they were even more invincible, and successively scared away Chen Yiqin, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, and Zhao Zhenji, a scholar of Wenyuange University, and finally even Li Chunfang, the first assistant at that time and a famous old and good man, did not let go, forcing people to resign repeatedly, and finally returned to their hometown.

The qualified old ones have been swept away, and the high arch has naturally become the first assistant. However, even though he had become the second person in the world with authority after the emperor, Lao Gao still felt that someone looked at him, such as the other two university scholars who were in the same cabinet as him.

Among them, Zhang Juzheng, a scholar and second assistant of the Jianji Hall University, could barely tolerate the high arch. After all, Xiao Zhang is still young, his qualifications are still shallow, and he also has more respect and obedience to the old Gao, so he can't take him to open the knife first. But Yin Shidan was different, although he and Gao Gong were both former vassals of Emperor Mingmuzong Zhu Zaiyuan, they were never right-tempered. Since it is difficult to help each other in the same boat when they are in common hardships, and now Lao Gao does not want to be rich and noble with Lao Yin, so when Zhu Zaiyuan was grateful for his old feelings and wanted to promote the latter to the cabinet, Gao Gong was unhappy in his stomach and pulled his face long for several days.

However, although Gao Gong could not prevent the emperor from getting Yin Shidan into the cabinet, there were ways to get it away, after all, this kind of thing lao Gao had done more than once or twice, and he was a skilled worker.

His idea was to find someone to explode Lao Yin's black material, which was a routine for expelling the important courtiers, and as long as he still had to nod his face, there was no one who would not leave. As for the replacement candidate Gao Gong, I have thought about it, that is, Zhang Siwei, a young man who is younger than Zhang Juzheng's qualifications, should be able to listen to the call.

Fighting is not good, especially bad - talk about the broken things that emperors and ministers have not been able to move on the table 01020304

Gao Gong's personality was problematic, otherwise he would most likely have done Zhang Juzheng's things in advance

Who knew that at this time, someone suddenly jumped out to impeach Zhang Siwei, which aroused the vigilance of Gao Gong, believing that it was Instigated by Yin Shidan, so he immediately launched revenge and let Han Yu rebound Yin Shidan in the matter - this was originally a routine of civil and official political disputes, both sides you play me and I play you, to see who has a big face in the emperor or whose power is strong enough to make the other party unable to withstand the pressure and take the initiative to surrender, you can become a winner. Of course, in most cases, the emperor is out of the horse and thin mud or fights without winning or losing, then it can only compromise and seek coexistence.

But Yin Shidan was an outlier. He is a Shandong han, not only looks strong and powerful, but also appreciates the advanced concept of not doing anything if he can do it. So when he found out that the high arch was aimed at himself, his reaction was to directly fill the old fist:

"The soldiers rose up and rebuked him: 'If you chase away Chen Gong, zhao gong, and Li Gong again, and now you chase me away from the fourth dimension, if you can always have this seat?' Fight with your arms. Ju zheng is from the side, but also right. (Ming Shi, vol. 193, Liechuan 81)

Did Yin Shidan play the high arch? It's actually worth talking about.

The history books only say that Lao Yin "fought hard to beat him", and then switched the camera, it was Zhang Juzheng's turn to pull the frame, and then the two old men pointed at each other's noses and scolded the street ("谇" sound suì, which can be extended to the meaning of scolding). As for the clip between Yin Shidan's fist swing and Zhang Juzheng's appearance, sorry, it was edited by the director - this is the Spring and Autumn Brushwork, the so-called "Pen is pen, cutting is cutting, Zixia's disciples can't praise a word" ("History, Volume 47, Confucius Family Seventeen"), it is really a good article!

In fact, this situation is very common in history books, neither tampering with historical facts, nor making up nonsense, but historians who want to write where they want to write will not hesitate to write, and record them in detail. As for the places where you don't want to write, don't want to write, and don't write well, then pretend not to look at it, and simply don't say a word. In this way, it not only upholds the principle that historians do not speak nonsense, but also clearly instills his own intentions and ideas into the reader.

The so-called Spring and Autumn Brushwork is to only write what I want to write, and if you don't like it, you pretend not to look at it

After all, no matter how high arch and Yin Shidan's character, how his deeds are, and how his evaluation is, at least they are all members of the scholars, so the basic face still needs to be maintained. Can historians still directly say that Yin Shidan "fought hard and wanted to beat him", and then the high arch was beaten into a pig's head or knocked out two front teeth? "For His Holiness, for his relatives, for the sages" (Spring and Autumn Ram Biography Min A.D.) Well, what if you teach a child badly? Even if you can't teach bad children to teach bad little animals, why not? So don't mention this kind of broken thing.

Yang Shen did not fight, Yin Shidan did not fight unclearly, is the "martial arts" of the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty so bad?

Non-also, in fact, Xiao Yang and Lao Yin's predecessors are still very capable of fighting. As early as the fourteenth year of orthodoxy (1449 AD), a group of Daming civil officials who did not seem to have slaughtered chickens, in front of the then King of the Jianguo And later the Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu, hammered ma Shun, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and then ran to zuo shunmen to show their fists and feet, killing The party feather gui and Wang Changsu of the eunuch Wang Zhen. This is the famous Noon Gate Bloody Case, which also made Zuo Shunmen a "place outside the law" in the minds of the Ming civil officials, who could kill people without paying for their lives--now understand why Yang Shen had to ambush Gui Cao and Zhang Xuan at Zuo Shun Men, right?

Of course, this matter can write a big article, and it will not waste the subject matter here, we will talk about it next time.
