Chapter 44 Deposed Emperor


    ?Sure enough, as Fei Qian had guessed, Cai Yong''s anger came from deposing the emperor. Strictly speaking, it was not the result of deposing the emperor, but more the process of deposing the emperor.


    At today''s imperial meeting, Dong Zhuo took advantage of the civil and military affairs of the meeting to announce to everyone: "The emperor is weak and cannot rule the world. There is a policy document that should be read out." Then he ordered Li Ru to read the policy document to depose the emperor.


    Li Ru''s voice reading out the policies one after another frightened the young emperor of the Han Dynasty to the point where he was sweating and panicked.


    With the acquiescence of Wang Yun and Yuan Wei, Dong Zhuo proposed to abolish the emperor. No one in the Manchu Dynasty said anything about the civil and military scriptures, except Shangshu. Lu Zhi, the former Beizhonglang general, stood up and angrily said: "In the past, Taijia was established, but it is unknown. Yin Fang''s Tong Palace. On the twenty-seventh day of his reign, the king of Changyi committed thousands of crimes, so he was dismissed by Huo Guang. Now he is rich in the Spring and Autumn Period and has done nothing wrong. This is not the comparison of what happened before. The precedent ministers Yi Yin and Huo Guang who deposed the emperor had legitimate reasons. Dong Zhuo, yours is not a legitimate reason. It is pure nonsense and cannot be compared with the previous Yi Yin and Huo Guang.


    After finishing speaking, Lu Zhi saw that the matter was irreversible, so he went straight down to the court to resign and went up to Gujundu Mountain to live in seclusion.


    The poor Young Emperor of the Han Dynasty was sitting on the throne. When Lu Zhi first stood up, he looked around hopefully to see if any other ministers could come forward to oppose Dong Zhuo and help him say something, but it seemed that he only saw a group of people like him. The ministers lowered their heads like quails, and the expectant eyes of Liu Bian, the Young Emperor of the Han Dynasty, gradually turned gray.


    The dramatic scene emerged like this.


    The crown seal and ribbon of the Young Emperor of the Han Dynasty was lifted, and King Chenliu was invited to the throne. A group of people, as if they had rehearsed countless times, congratulated the former King Chenliu and the new emperor in a skilled manner...


    During the dynasty, Dong Zhuo was promoted to the prime minister, which announced that the Dong family had officially become the largest family of relatives conferred by the imperial court...


    Cai Yong was actually not only angry at Dong Zhuo for deposing the emperor, but also at the ministers'' acquiescence and non-resistance, including himself of course - for a moment, he had the urge to rush up and make a generous speech with Lu Zhi , but thinking of his family and Cai Yan, he hesitated again, and just followed the trend in a confused manner, completing the entire process of the young emperor abdicating the throne and the new emperor ascending the throne.


    But after going to court and returning home, Cai Yong felt that what he did today was in conflict with the Confucian concepts he had learned, but he had no way to vent his conflicting feelings, so he had to hold back his anger in his heart.


    ?Seeing Fei Qian standing solemnly with his hands hanging down, Cai Yong endured his aggrieved mood. Remembering that Fei Qian was here to thank his teacher today, he forced himself to give Fei Qian a few words of encouragement.


    ?But after speaking to the end, Cai Yong couldn''t hold it back in the end and asked Fei Qian: "Ziyuan, what do you think about this matter, ''If you can make up for it, Gun will not be abolished''?"


    ??Although Fei Qian subconsciously wanted to follow the classic phrase "There must be something fishy about this matter", after all, Cai Yong was seeking a moral explanation in the name of literary research, so Fei Qian naturally couldn''t be such a shameless fool.


    "If you can make up for your faults, Gun will not be abolished" comes from Zuo Zhuan''s Jin Ling Gong Zhuan.


    ?? Jin Linggong was a man full of high-level interests. He even liked to use a slingshot on the high platform of the palace wall to hit other people''s little chirps. He felt very happy when he saw the way pedestrians avoided...


    It is unique that a dignified prince likes to do this kind of thing.


    ??So the ministers of Jin Linggong were very worried and felt that they should guide Jin Linggong on the right path of advanced ballistics. They could not play with slingshots and shoot other people''s little chirps all day long, as that would be useless. So one of the ministers, Zhao Dun, went to persuade Jin Linggong, but Jin Linggong said he knew it and would correct it, but he refused to change it. Later, after admonishing him too much, Jin Linggong got annoyed and wanted to kill Zhao Dun, but Zhao Dun was lucky. To protect himself, he killed Jin Linggong several times but failed to kill him, so he killed Jin Linggong in turn, welcomed Jin''s prince Heibu, and established Heibu as the king.


    In fact, Fei Qian has seen Zuo Zhuan and is relatively familiar with Zuo Zhuan. Every time he sees this, Fei Qian wants to laugh. People in the Spring and Autumn Period were so simple. The name is really well chosen and how vivid it is - Black Buttocks , Wow, wow, wow… or the king…


    However, the point of Cai Yong''s question today is not whether the monarch''s buttocks are white or black, but quoting Jin Linggong to allude to what happened at the court meeting today - "If you can make up for it, Gong will not be abolished" - if the young emperor of the Han Dynasty can Shouldn''t the emperor be deposed if he corrects his mistakes? Even if the Young Emperor of the Han Dynasty was at fault, shouldn''t he be advised first and then finally take the path of deposing the emperor when he was really hopeless?


    Because in the Confucian concept, no matter how stupid and demented the so-called "Emperor" is, no matter how cruel and immoral, no matter how perverted, he is "sacred" and cannot be offended and cannot be easily impeached or punished, otherwise he will commit bullying. Your Majesty, you are guilty of profanity and rebellion.


    ?Therefore, Cai Yong felt that he should dissuade the emperor when he made mistakes, but he failed to do so. The emperor was deposed casually, and he could not dissuade him. Now that it has reached this point, he feels uneasy.


    Fei Qian thought for a while, he was a good master in everything, but he was a bit too idealistic. Didn''t you see that not many people in the civil and military affairs of the dynasty made a sound, and most of them happily welcomed the new emperor, so who else would care about the deposed emperor? ah?


    ?But you can''t just say it to Cai Yong directly, otherwise Cai Yong will scold him to death. Even though Cai Yong didn''t dare to scold Dong Zhuo in court, Cai Yong wouldn''t think there was anything wrong with scolding his own disciples.


    Fei Qian thought for a while and said: "Song and Chu made an alliance under the city, and the alliance said, ''I have no deceit, and you have no danger.''" - This refers to the deception between Chu and Song at that time, and it was written in the covenant. Anyone can be openly overthrown, let alone an emperor now. Master, you are an honest gentleman to others, but others may not be honest gentlemen!


    ?Who doesn’t cheat? Without fraud, it is difficult to stand and seek benefits for oneself. The so-called "unjust wars in the Spring and Autumn Period" also include, to a certain extent, interest disputes between countries, and always contain elements of fraud.


    The current situation is also the same. Look at Dong Zhuo''s army approaching Luoyang City. In this case, what second option is there? Besides, who among the civil and military officials in the Manchu dynasty was not seeking their own interests? Why didn''t the Yuan family and Wang family say anything? Is there no fraud or profit behind this?


    ?? Cai Yong sighed: "That''s the case, but..." Cai Yong didn''t finish what he said, but he understood the meaning clearly, and everyone understood the truth, but when encountering practical problems, they often may not be able to do it.


    ?? Cai Yong shook his head. Although he seemed a little more relieved than before, he was still in a bad mood. He patted Fei Qian on the shoulder and asked Fei Qian to go back and study hard, so he let Fei Qian go back.


    When Fei sneaked out of Cai''s mansion, he was still thinking, is Cai Yong''s character the reason why Dong Zhuo was so contradictory in history? But looking at it now, Dong Zhuo didn''t give Cai Yong a big official position. Cai Yong shouldn''t be grateful to Dong Zhuo, right?


    Fei Qian thought about it a lot, and in order to ensure that his guess was correct, he felt that it was necessary to go to another person to test it, although it was quite difficult...


    There is no such person as Ding Guan in history, there is only Ding Guan, but this Ding Guan, haha, and Lu Zhi resigned when the emperor was deposed, not before he was deposed... The only person in history who spoke uprightly was Lu Zhi... There are some interesting fictitious things in the novel that I tried my best to restore, but for those wonderful ones, let’s just follow the novel... It’s not easy for newcomers to ask for recommendation votes and favorites...
