Chapter 1004 Ridiculing Yang
"Yang Jisheng's "Ten Impossibles, Five Mistakes" gave him a glorious image of not fearing power and serving the country courageously. But if you look at this piece carefully, hehe, this is a Typical patriotic thief song It is a typical negative teaching material, a typical memorial that claims to be patriotic, but actually harms the country and the people!” Zhu sneered.
"Oh?"
Zhao Wenhua leaned forward, straightened his ears, and waited attentively for Yan Shifan to continue.
"Yang Jisheng's "Ten Don'ts, Five Fallacies" sounds reasonable at first glance, but if you look carefully, each one is more absurd than the last, and each one is more ridiculous than the last, which shows that Yang Jisheng is a stupid patriotic thief. I will just cite a few, such as Saying that he has nothing to do, Yang Jisheng said that the mutual market is another name for marriage. I answer that the traitor trampled on the tomb of the emperor of our dynasty and killed the common people of our country. This is a huge hatred, but how can we trade with him? This idiot, he doesn't even understand the concepts of "mutual trade" and "harmony", he is a sect Nonsense. The purpose of marriage is to use marriage and blood ties to consolidate relationships, but not to each other. Trade is nothing more than trade based on political mutual trust.”
“There are two other problems. If we trade with China, what does it mean that we, a great country, can’t trade with each other? Are small tribes trading with each other? Can they only do business if they are well-matched? ? Nonsense, do you think I can’t do business with people who have less money? The tribute trade between our country and the surrounding small countries has been continuous since the time of Taizu, so there is only one Tatar. Only a self-righteous fool like Yang Jisheng would have such an idea!"
"There are also nine things he cannot do. Maybe Yang Jisheng is stupid because of his studies. He knows nothing about trade, but he still thinks he is right. Mutual trading does not mean forced buying and selling. The price of horses is different from that of others. The quality of the horse is linked to the quality. If the horse is not good, you don’t need to buy it. For a small amount of money, as long as an experienced businessman assists you, there will never be a price for selling a low-grade horse for a high-grade horse."
"Hahaha, as for his ten incompetence, it would make eight people laugh to death. . Ten cannot: We will have hundreds of thousands of silks and tens of thousands of horses every year. I have no silk to wear, what should I do? Yang Jisheng, has he ever been to the south of the Yangtze River? The cloth produced in Songjiang alone can be worth tens of thousands per day. Songjiang alone can be enough to exchange for all the horses of the rebels and pay ten years. After that, I have nothing to wear and no common sense, which is the most ridiculous thing in the world.”
< br>"The courage is commendable, but it has no redeeming qualities. It has no vision for governing the country and does not understand the value of mutual trading at all. If border troubles can be eliminated through mutual trading between districts, why not do it. This memorial is full of loopholes. , He can’t mess with others, he can only mess with himself.”
Yan Shifan sneered at Yang Jisheng's famous memorial. While commenting on it, he shook his head and laughed.
"Well, what Brother Donglou said makes sense. It seems that the person named Yang is indeed a fiction."
After hearing Yan Shifan's comments, Zhao Wenhua couldn't help but follow suit. Nodding, I didn't pay much attention to it before, but now after listening to what Yan Shifan said and reading it again, it seems that it is indeed the case. Yang Jisheng's memorial is indeed exaggerated. His suggestions and ideas are too extreme and unrealistic.
"Master Yan is really knowledgeable and insightful, and Fang Zheng deeply believes in it. Yang Jisheng is not worthy of his reputation. He is too self-righteous. He always thinks that he is right in the world and has no self-knowledge. In fact, he is the most wrong one." Zhou Fang Zheng then flattered Yan Shifan and stamped Yang Jisheng into the dust.
After listening to Yan Shifan's comments, Yan Song relaxed his frown slightly, picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and moistened his throat.
"Yang Jisheng also wrote a memorial, which was used to impeach the local magistrate Zhang Danian when he was the magistrate of Zhucheng County in Shandong Province. One of the claims was that 'it was a severe drought and there was no harvest, and it was the fault of the magistrate as a punishment from heaven.' This is a scapegoat. It’s as good as the Holy Emperor’s treatment, which makes people laugh and cry.”
Yan Shifan then mentioned another memorial written by Yang Jisheng, and also sneered at it, ridiculing Yang Jisheng’s indiscriminate use of the theory of heaven and man.
The theory of induction between heaven and man originated from "Shang Shu Hong Fan" and is an ancient idea in ancient China. After the Han Dynasty, it gradually became a Confucian theological term. The theory of interaction between heaven and man holds that heaven and humans are connected and respond to each other. Heaven can intervene in human affairs, and humans can also respond to heaven. The ancients believed that if the emperor was unkind and unjust and violated the will of God, then God would send down disasters to condemn and warn the emperor; if the government was harmonious and harmonious, God would send down auspicious signs to encourage, such as unicorns, phoenixes, multi-headed ears of rice, etc. .
For example, historical records indicate that in the twelfth year of Yongle reign of the Ming Dynasty, Banggela’s tribute envoys came to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty and presented a rare animal. According to records, the animal was “nine feet high in the front, six feet in the back, and had a long neck. It's six feet long, has two short horns, an ox's tail, and a deer's body." As soon as the animal landed, someone shouted, "Isn't this a unicorn?" The officials were so excited. Shen Du, who compiled the Hanlin Academy, was full of thoughts and wonderful pens. He wrote an "Ode to the Ruiying Qilin" on the spot, saying, "I heard that the saint is benevolent and virtuous, and he can understand the darkness, and then the Qilin will appear." "Come out." Emperor Yongle read the ode and was delighted. He ordered the painter to draw the unicorn and named it "Ode to the Qilin Painted by Ming Dynasties". Well, if you see this painting in the museum, you will find that unicorn = giraffe.
In short, the theory of induction between heaven and man generally talks about the emperor.
Therefore, Yan Shifan ridiculed Yang Jisheng's second memorial, ridiculing Yang Jisheng for impeaching a prefect using the theory of heaven and man's induction.
"Donglou! Don't talk nonsense! How can the Nine-Five Saint, the Dragon among men, be used as an example!" Yan Song glared at Yan Shifan, thinking that he was making fun of Yang Jisheng. Emperor Jiajing gave an example.
"What my father said is absolutely true, and my son knows he was wrong."
Yan Shifan admitted his mistake with a smile, and then bowed in the direction of Xiyuan with great dignity.
Yan Song nodded with satisfaction, then turned his head and glanced at the faces of Zhao Wenhua and Zhou Fangzheng, teaching: "You all also remember, we owe our existence to the grace of the Holy One. Eat the emperor's salary and do things that are loyal to the emperor."
"Thank you for your foster father's teachings. We will always remember them in our hearts." Zhao Wenhua and Zhou Fangzheng stood up and responded.
"Haha, so, there is no need to worry at all about Yang Jisheng's impeachment. Every time he impeaches others, they have nothing to do, and he himself commits suicide because of the memorial. He did it. He impeached Qiu Luan and imprisoned him. "He played Shangfeng Magistrate. If I hadn't taken care of him secretly, he would have been imprisoned again. This time he impeached his father to death. Although I have not seen his memorial, I believe that he will definitely write it himself in the memorial." Seeking death."
After Yan Shifan stood up, he continued to summarize with a smile. (End of this chapter)
