Sheng, some time ago, made a piece of eight-legged essay, Zi Hou if you have time, may as well help Sheng axe correct one or two.”
Halfway through breakfast, when Zhu Pingan was still thinking about how to open his mouth and mention the cadence, Yang Jisheng took out a folded piece of rice paper from his bosom, claiming that it was an eight-legged essay that he had made, and asked Zhu Pingan to help him correct it.
Eight-legged essay?
Zhu Pingan was flabbergasted for a moment, and then his heart leapt, this so-called “eight-legged essay” should be Yang Jisheng’s zangsheng.
I’m sure it is.
When Zhu Pingan received Yang Jisheng handed over the “eight shares”, opened a look, as he thought.
“Please kill the thieves.”
The cover of the beginning of these five iron painting silver hook words, as if the spine of the iron spine, like, come to the face.
Zhu Pingan looked up to Yang Jisheng after reading, Yang Jisheng smiled slightly and signalled Zhu Pingan to continue reading down.
So, Zhu Pingan flipped through the text and continued to read down:
I former Ministry of the army car driving division officer, remonstrate against the horse market, the word is not timely, this within the word off, the crime should be imprisoned, was against the Luan Weiwei asked the official, will be the minister’s fingers broken, shin splints, will want to put it to death. I am grateful to the emperor’s grace, thin penalty relegated. Not two years, and was promoted to this post. If the lonely straight sinners, not die against the hand of the luan, has been a blessing, and move so quickly, then since this past year, are the emperor regeneration of the body; since this past officer, are the emperor of the job also. I was blessed with this great grace, then all things are beneficial to the country, can be reported to the one in a million, although the death has no regard for, and day and night only afraid to think so give up their lives to repay the way, and there is no rush to please kill the thieves ministers also. The minister’s official in the military, to discuss the thief as a job, but the thief is not exclusively in the foreign trouble, all harmful to the people of the countryside, are called the thief ……”
This is the first time that Zhu Pingan has seen Yang Jisheng’s original “Please Execute the Thief Ministers”, Zhu Pingan has not read Yang Jisheng’s original speech in the modern era, but only knows the general idea of the speech, as well as some key places.
Zhu Pingan read very carefully, word by word, study the speech in addition to “or ask the two kings” this taboo, there are no other taboos.
This first paragraph is to explain the background, there is nothing wrong.
Zhu Pingan continue to look down the second paragraph: “I look at the university scholar Yan Song, steal power to steal the handle, misuse the country and harm the people, the world’s first big thief! Fang now outside the thief but the border for the urgent, within the thief but Yan Song for the most. The thief, the border of the thief, scabies disease; Thief Song, the door court of the enemy, the heart of the harm also. Thieves have inside and outside, attack should have successive, there is no internal thief not to go and can except the thief, so the minister please kill the thief song, when in the elimination of the first thief. And song’s crime is full, God and people are angry, XuXueShi, ShenLian, WangZongMao, etc. often impeachment of carry on, but stop all say song corruption of small and not tasted song usurpation of crime.”
Yang Jisheng in this second paragraph cut into the main topic, criticised Yan Song’s crime, said Xu Xueshi, Shen Lian, Wang Zongmao and others impeachment of Yan Song only impeachment of Yan Song embezzlement of these small crimes, did not impeach to the major crime of Yan Song usurpation.
Although this paragraph carried the personal sentiments of Senior Brother Yang, on the whole, there was nothing wrong with it.
Zhu Pingan continued to read down, and then came to the main topic.
Yang Jisheng vomited his blood and guts and drained his liver and gall in more than 3,000 words to expose Yan Song’s ten great sins of tyranny and treason against the king and the five great sins of treachery.
Zhu Pingan read while summing up, Yang Jisheng in the rustic exposed Yan Song the following ten sins:
A major crime: my dynasty emperor tai zu see prime minister dictatorship of the disaster, so strike the prime minister, set up cabinet ministers, ready to consultants, and the thief minister yan song hostage the emperor’s power, invasion of hundreds of things, everywhere to the prime minister since, although no prime minister’s name but stealing the prime minister’s reality, the power of the heaving, officials every promotion, before thanking the king’s grace, will be the first to worship thank the thief song, because they know that the power of the thief from the thief song, only know that fear of flattery of the thief song only. This bad ancestor’s law also.
The second major crime: the saint’s thieving minister Yan Song vote to be. The saint every use a person, the thief song will go around showing that this person is my vote on the recommended; the saint every dismiss a person, the thief song will say this person is not diligently attached to me, so I just in the vote on the dismissed him; the saint every leniency a person, the thief song is said to be his vote on the rescue; the saint every punishment a person, the thief song will go around to people said this person offended him, he is in the vote on the retaliation. Thief song everywhere and always with the help of the emperor’s joy and anger wanton power and blessing, so the qunchen feel song’s favour is more than feeling the emperor’s grace, fear song’s power is more than fearing the emperor’s punishment. The power of reward and punishment is attributed to Song, the size of the ministers and all attached to Song, Song’s heart and gall will not be big and wanton? Stealing the power of the king.
Three major sins: every good policy of his majesty, the thief song all said that this is from his advice, he is robbing and wearing out the credit of his majesty.
The four major sins: the thief song connives at his son’s usurpation of the royal power, entrusts the heavy power to his son yan shifan, so the capital has “the big prime minister, the small prime minister” the rumour.
Fifth major crime: the thief song public weapon for private use, on a large scale to his relatives, the private party to increase the rank, risking the imperial court military service.
Six major sins: the thief Song wantonly accepts bribes, citing such as Zhao Dajing, Gao Botai’s treacherous ministers, wreaking havoc on the world.
Seven major sins: invasion of foreign invaders, thieves song fear of combat, wrong national military opportunity.
Eight major sins: the thief song hold the power of the dynasty, pursuing the obedience to me the Chang against me the death.
Nine major sins: civil and military officials promotion, but on the bribe how much, resulting in corruption peeling prevalent in the world, lost the hearts of the world.
Ten sins: since the thief song since the main event, the court bribery into the wind, the official wind is not correct, the official to speculation for the ability to do, corrupt customs, pandemonium.
Zhu Pingan after reading the ten major crimes word by word and sentence by sentence, found that the sixth major crime among these ten major crimes, the example given mentioned Zhao Dajing, Gao Botai and others whom he had impeached, using them as an example of Yan Song’s acceptance of bribery.
This is about one of the effects of one’s own butterfly wings stirring.
These ten sins are slightly exaggerated, but they are all facts, Yang Jisheng tore open all the shaming cloth, pointing directly to Yan Song’s deep sins, especially the first three sins, is simply too old to move earth ……No wonder in history, Yan Song saw Yang Jisheng’s sangs, scared out of a cold sweat.
However, after studying the ten sins, Zhu Pingan vaguely still have a feeling, feel that Yang Jisheng impeached Yan Song’s these ten sins, some of the emperor also to pocket in the feeling ……
In Yang’s folding, Yan Song has become a generation of power traitors, a bit like Cao Cao who held the emperor hostage.
Since ancient times, the emperor out of the traitor.
The power traitor is even worse.
Only a cowardly weak king can produce power traitors.
If it is a bright monarch, how can he be hoodwinked by his subjects to such an extent? If it was a strong monarch, how could it be usurped by a vassal?
However, it is also possible that one is overthinking, or that it is one’s own illusion, because one knows that historically, Yang Jisheng has incurred the wrath of the Holy Spirit because of this zhangsheng, so if one looks at this zhangsheng with this kind of preconceived notion, one might have this kind of illusion.
