Chapter 110
I, please take back your destiny!
As soon as this sentence came out, the court was silent!
Seeing Yi Wentai walking out of the ranks of military generals, the civil officials present had a strange expression. If it were another time, if Yi Wentai said this, they would have to spray him to death.
Civil officials and military generals!
From Li Taizu, the rules were set. Both sides were not allowed to interfere with each other. Civil officials would not participate in the division of military power, and military generals would not interfere with civil servants. The reason for such a regulation was that Li Taizu learned a lesson from the destruction of many dynasties in the past.
The civil servant group will intervene in the army, which will lead to a reduction in the military strength. Similarly, if the military generals surpass the civil servants, there will be a phenomenon of military war.
Therefore, starting from Li Taizu, the two conveniences do not interfere with each other.
The Imperial College is a pedal to civil officials. The general naturally has no right to speak, but Yi Yun’s situation is a bit special. Who said Yi Wentai is Yi Yun’s father?
No one can find fault if I reject the gift from the emperor for my son.
"The Master, Yi Yunlian and the year of Guan Guan has not yet arrived, how can he enter the Imperial College? How can many Confucian scholars in the world convince? This is really inappropriate."
"Yi Aiqing, the literary talent of your son's article is obvious to everyone in the world. I believe that all Confucian scholars in the world will be convinced, and I believe that many ministers present have no objection."
Li Chengzu's eyes turned to the others present, and everyone else who were present agreed when they heard this.
"I have no objection."
"Only this article "Preface to Wangjiang Tower", the identity of an Imperial College student is more than enough."
Naturally, the civil officials would not object. Opposing the emperor means opposing themselves, because they relied on their literary talent to enter the officialdom.
"Marquis Zhenbei, the son of the emperor was commended by the emperor. This is the glory of your Yi family, how can you refuse it?"
Li Chengzu was very satisfied with the reaction of all officials. Yi Yun's article had spread all over the world. He gave Yi Yun the identity of a student in the Imperial College. The students in the world would not only not object, but would instead praise him for his wisdom.
"I, I beg the Lord to take back my life after the old minister's years of contribution and hard work!"
Bang!
Yi Wentai ignored the persuasion of many ministers, took out a tiger talisman in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "If the emperor does not take back his life, he will be exempted from my title as the Marquis of Zhenbei."
hiss!
This time, the generals, including those generals, couldn't help but be surprised and looked at Yi Wentai with incomprehensible eyes. They didn't understand why Yi Wentai refused so firmly, and even said words like resigning.
Yi Yun's expression was calm, he lowered his head and said nothing.
"Wentai, I have discussed this reward with you in private before, and you have no objection. Now I have said something in front of all civil and military officials, and you will ask me to take it back even if you go, what is your intention!"
Bang!
Li Chengzu was also angry and his fist hit the dragon table heavily. The entire dragon table was shattered in half, but none of the eunuchs next to him dared to step forward.
At this time, the officials present remembered that the emperor was also a strong man, but since he ascended the throne, the emperor has never shown his strength.
This punch made the officials who were standing in the first row, and their eyes were raised slightly, but even after they recovered, these first-rank ministers stood like this most of the time during the court meeting.
"I reported to the Master, I did not intend to do so. After I went back, I told my wife about this matter. My wife's words woke me up. My eldest son is the legitimate son and has not passed the provincial examination. If the second son directly entered the Imperial College, wouldn't it be that the concubine's son defeated the legitimate son? This is a big taboo for the family."
Yi Wentai's words made everyone at the scene in an uproar, and they all opened their mouths and looked at him with an incredible look.
They thought of many reasons, thinking that Yi Wentai might think that his second son is still young and does not want him to be too popular, so as not to destroy the woods that are so beautiful that they will be destroyed by the wind.
But they could not have imagined that the real reason was because of Yi Wentai's eldest son, the eldest son born in Zhenbei Hou Mansion.
Li Chengzu was also a little stunned and didn't know what to say at once. That day, the monarch and ministers talked privately, and Yi Wentai also said that he was very loving to his wife at home. If the former crown prince had not been determined to do anything, he would not have taken concubines at all. However, Li Chengzu did not take this too seriously, but now he has to believe it.
If he hadn't loved his wife very much and loved his eldest son, how could he have made such a decision? Just to be afraid that the illegitimate Yi Yun would have overwhelmed his eldest son, he would have refused even such a glorious gift.
"This...this...this isn't done."
Many civil officials in the hall stammered for a long time and wanted to refute it, but found that they didn't know how to refute it.
The legitimate birth is greater than the common people, which is also passed down from Confucian etiquette. Most of them present were legitimate births, and they also took advantage of the etiquette. Naturally, they could not blame them from this.
But from a father's perspective, whether it is a legitimate child or a illegitimate child, they are their own sons. They are nothing more than being biased towards the legitimate child, but there is also a degree of bias. If a illegitimate son is really promising, the father will be happy.
But Zhenbei Hou did not let the concubine suppress the legitimate descendants, and destroyed the relationship between father and son.
If they were Yi Yun at this moment, they would probably be extremely angry.
Thinking of this, many officials also turned their attention to Yi Yun. They wanted to see Yi Yun's reaction after hearing his father's resolute and selfish words.
His fists trembled, and Yi Yun's entire body was trembling at this moment. He was indeed angry.
The original owner was full of resentment towards his father, and he felt that it was nothing, just thinking that it was not loved, but this was not loved, and it was not given him a chance to stand out at all.
As long as my elder brother fails the state exam, he may not even have the opportunity to take the state exam.
"Wentai, I think you'd better think about it." After a while, Li Chengzu spoke.
"Sage, I have already considered it before going to the palace. This is not only because there is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate, but also because although my second son is talented, his character is not good. My Yi family provides food and drink for his mother and son. Just because his mother died of a serious illness, he wanted to draw a clear line with my Yi family and take his mother's coffin away from the Yi family. How can such a person who does not want to repay kindness and is unfilial to become a student of the Imperial College?"
Yi Yun, who had originally lowered his head, raised his head at this moment because he knew that if he didn't argue, he would be completely beaten by this father and would have no chance to turn around.
"Will you feel heartbroken when my father says this?"
Yi Yun spoke, and the eyes of all officials also lit up. This kind of gossip from other people seems to be the most interesting.
"I answered with the emperor, you are qualified to speak!" Yi Wentai glared at Yi Yun.
"I shouldn't have interrupted my father's conversation with the Lord, but the saint said that if someone is not distinguished from black and white, he will defile him wantonly, and those who are the king should braid themselves."
Yi Yun's words made the civil officials present lit up. This answer was indeed very clever. As an elder, he could only bear the bad words of his younger generation, but the saints did say such words.
As a gentleman, if you hear someone saying bad things about you, you must justify yourself and you must not dare to speak just because you are afraid of the other person.
This fear also includes obedience and respect for elders.
"Students depend on their mothers since they were born and lived in Yifu courtyard for ten years. During this period, they met with their fathers for a few times. Until they were older and the primary school stage, their elder brother entered the clan and became famous teachers. The student's primary school education was saved by the mother over the years. Later, the mother fell ill and his father did not visit him. When his mother passed away, the family did not die, because it was the birth of his wife."
"As a son, the student cannot wear mourning for his mother. How painful is this? If the mother had not given him a lot of advice before his death, the student might have committed suicide by committing suicide with his mother in the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs."
"It was my mother who scolded her loudly that the students could save their lives. I knew that my mother's last wish was to fail to return to her hometown to fulfill her filial piety to her grandparents. Then she packed her bags and returned to Guangshi County with her mother's coffin."
Yi Yun's eyes were red and blood was crying in his words, which moved the officials present. They could imagine the sufferings that a mother and son suffered in the Yi family.
"A bastard, your mother married into my Yi family, and her life and death are all from my Yi family. If you think about your mother's family, you have committed the crime of losing virtue. If it weren't for the Yi family, how could you grow up to this day? Now you don't want to give back, but you are resentful to the Yi family. Isn't this unfilial?"
Yi Wentai also had a stern face and was filled with evil spirits, which made many officials at the scene unable to help but take a few steps back. Many officials present had no doubts that if it weren't for the Golden Palace, the Marquis of Zhenbei would have killed his son.
"I have come to the Lord, and the students are inspired by this moment and have a thought, and I wish to listen to the Lord and all the ministers."
Yi Yun bowed and saluted, and his words made the civil officials present lit up. Here, what poem would this little guy with the most resounding title of Dali Divine Power at present write?
Li Chengzu was a little hesitant, but when he saw the officials' expectant gaze, he finally nodded and agreed.
"Yi Yun, it's a good thing that you have inspiration, but don't go too far."
"Thank you, Master."
Yi Yun nodded, looked around the hall, and suddenly smiled desolately, saying, "Plant melons at the foot of Huangshan Mountain, the melon seeds are ripe. Once you pick the melons to make the melons good, then pick them to make the melons thin. If you pick them three times, you can pick them four times and bring them to the vines back."
This poem has no literary talent, but the ministers present fell into silence because of Yi Yun's poem.
The hidden meaning of this poem is too obvious.
Yi Yun used picking melons to metaphorize his father Zhenbeihou's repeated suppression of him again and again.
The most important thing is that this poem is easy to understand and you don’t have to think about it. Many ordinary people in the world can recite it, and there are naturally the stories behind it that follow this poem.
This time, Zhenbei Hou may have been passed down through the ages, but this reputation is a dirty name that harms flesh and blood.
