Ming History Volume 2 18 Wang Xijue's classical Chinese answer

original text

Wang Xijue, jade, was born in Taicang. In the forty-first year of Jiajing, the examination was the first, the examination was the second, and the editing was awarded. Tired of moving here to offer drinks. In the five years of Wanli, he and Zhan jointly managed the Imperial Academy. Zhang seized this feeling and sent court officials Wu Zhongxing and Zhao Yongxian. Xi Jue wants more than ten people in the same library to solve this problem, but he doesn't accept it. Xijue took care of his own funeral, cut to the chase and ignored it. Bank of China, etc. , not only subject to the staff, but also have great fear for Xi Jue. Next year, enter the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Ritual. Juzheng had just returned to China to attend the funeral, and Jiuqing was in urgent need, but Xijue didn't sign it. To beg for my mother's family. Juzheng lacks the shape of a Xijue. If he benefits from it, Xijue will not appear. /kloc-in the winter of 0/2, I went home to pay homage to Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and University of Wenyuange, and participated in the maintenance. Please avoid flattery, competition, vanity, luxury, discussion and simple work. Bona, Xian Di

At the beginning of Li Zhi and Jiangdong, they befriended ministers Shen Shixing and Yang Wei, regarded the Western Decision as a negative example, and pushed him together with Juzheng. Compared with Sijue, it is in line with the times, and it is planted by force. Planting has disappeared. From time to time, the behavior is recorded, followed by Guo Xu, who are all from Nanji, while Xijue and Shixing will try together. They are close to the county government. However, the lines are soft, while Xijue is only negative. In sixteen years, Jpua took the lead in trying Shuntian, and Langguan Gao Gui and Rao Shen discussed it. Lord Xi even criticized this chapter, and the language was too angry. He sat down and wrote a letter to the prison, asking to be removed from the list. He was exiled to the border. Suggestion Qiao Bixing asked the emperor to give an order to Xi Jue and expand his number in order to let him rest and be tolerant. On the relationship between accumulation and court.

When the ministers invited everyone to build a shop, the emperor refused to listen. In eighteen years, Xi Xuan invited him to teach and hired Jiang Yinglin. And asked Governor Cai Li not to report it. Because of the drought, try to beg it. Emperor, you wrote leave it. The fire turned red, and the truth made a mistake in the west. The discussants fought for the soldiers, and the Lord of Xijue followed the current situation. The question of time, with the column as the title, Duman begged it. Looking for my mother's old age, even begging to return to the province. It is to pay the Taoist priests and send officials to protect the line. In the second year, time, country and Wang Jiaping ascended the throne one after another, and they deliberately called the Western Decision. In the first month of 21 years, it was returned to the DPRK, so it was recorded.

First of all, there is a decree that a ceremony will be held in the spring of 2008 to warn courtiers not to blaspheme Chen. After the courtiers learned of Zhang Youde's deeds, they were silent. Yes, the Western Decision asked the emperor to make a big plan. The emperor sent the chamberlain to show the Western Decision by hand. He wanted to treat his first son and make Zi Yuan and his two brothers king. Xi Jue was worried that he would lose his upper finger, so he made an imperial edict. On the other hand, this is a matter of public opinion, because it is said that "Ma Huanghou of Emperor Han Ming, Empress Tang and Empress Liu all raised their concubines as sons. Please ask the queen to raise Zi Yuan, then Zi Yuan is the first son, and the biological mother doesn't have to put the imperial concubine above the rank ",and suggested making an order. Zhao Gaozhi and Zhang Weixian are in the same column. The emperor had previously given orders to etiquette officials so that they could perform their duties. So I made a fuss. Give things to Shi Menglin, Li Shangshu Luo, etc. And work hard for it. The courtiers remonstrated and sealed it for several days. Lord Xi, together with Kochi and Wei Li, please return the former imperial edict, but the emperor refused. People have remonstrated, and Yue, Gu Yuncheng, Zhang Nabi, Chen Tailai, Yu, Li, Zeng Fengyi, Zhong Huamin, Xiang Dezhen, etc. hid their faces in the court. Li Tengfang also wrote to Xijue. Four musts, please discuss. No. Please face it and don't report it. Because of three mistakes, begging and scolding. The emperor also forced public discussion, chasing the life before going to bed, living less than two or three years. Lord Xi asked for a quick decision and said, "When Zi Yuan was born, he received a letter of forgiveness for his inheritance. This letter is called "Only Inheritance Association", and it is obvious that the Crown Prince is waiting for him. What is the question now? " Don't report.

In July, see the comet, there is a letter to repair the province. Sijue asked for an extension to see the minister. He also said: "Coma is getting weaker and weaker, so we should be careful about living festivals, be lenient with punishment, be addicted to lust to prevent diseases, and be lenient with accumulation." After more than a month, I replied: "the benefits of entering the purple can not be eliminated by personnel administration alone, but the matter of building reserves can be eliminated." The image of King Gai is called Emperor Star, while the image of Prince Gai is called Former Star. Today, the stars are shining but not fixed early, which caused this disaster. If you hurry, the book will be published and the sky will change. " The emperor reported the news and still said that the first spring was waiting. Jue wrote back and even begged Zhang. In November, when the Empress Dowager was born, Emperor Yumen was congratulated and summoned Xi Jue to warm the pavilion alone. Lao said, "Your mother came to Beijing with sincerity, loyalty and filial piety." Lord Xi kowtowed and thanked him because he urged him to solve the country at an early date. The emperor said, "What should we do if there is something in the palace?" Right: "This statement was acceptable ten years ago. Now Yuanzi is thirteen years old. What is left to do? Since ancient times, have there been thirteen-year-old children who haven't studied? " The emperor was very moved. Four musts, please call frequently to protect the sacred bow. After returning to the palace, he asked for help and said, "The imperial court is plotting to return the imperial concubine to her, fearing that the Zheng family is not safe. Only your majesty is considerate. " The emperor is sparse, and the heart is moving. He handed a letter to Xijue: "Every time you play, you must play with the imperial concubine. Why? He advised me several times not to intervene in foreign affairs with the training of my ancestors, and I dared to follow suit. Jue Xi said: "Today, compared with the eldest son of the emperor, there is only the imperial concubine. The world does not doubt the imperial concubine, but who does?" Whose responsibility is it that the imperial concubine is not responsible for herself? Ancestral training has nothing to do with diplomacy and the employment and management of foreign courts. If the title is conferred, it is your majesty's family affairs, and the third son of the emperor is the parent-child of the imperial concubine. Does your majesty have to work with the imperial concubine? Moreover, the imperial concubine has served the sacred bow for a long time, and her relatives are virtuous and there are many courtiers. I can't bear to hear that. I am a 60-year-old man, and I am responsible for defending the mouth of the world. Your majesty still thinks this is suspicious. However, it will be like a group of teenagers attacking the imperial concubine. Will your majesty be quick? "Sparse, the emperor chin. Intellectual also urged. After living for a few days, I was ordered to become a monk. The emperor ordered the pearls and jade treasures of Shiguang to be taken out of the cabinet, totaling more than 300,000 yuan. Yang Junmin, Minister of Finance, reasoned with stories and urged Wang and others to remonstrate. The emperor then wrote a letter to the monarch, hoping to change this period. It's not easy for Lord Xi to invite you. Next February, the wedding ceremony will be completed, and everything will be like the East Palace, which will comfort both China and foreign countries.

When Xi Jue was in the pavilion, he tried to invite Jiangnan to weave, stopped making pottery in Jiangxi, reduced the tribute from Yunnan, and gave the domestic capital to Henan to satisfy his hunger. No matter what the emperor does, there are more ceremonies than before and after. Its rescue of Li Yi and its efforts to avoid the use of court staff are especially famous in the world. Discussion on special reference of object. The doctor reprimanded assistant minister Zhao Yi and let him go. Regarding the rescuer, he was condemned, and everyone called him Xi Jue. Although even Zhang Ziming can be saved, people can't forgive him. Xijue begged for rest again and again. The emperor didn't want it to disappear, so he built a healing prayer. Xi Jue's words are strong, and eight is allowed. First, add up the Prince Taibao, and even order the ministers of the official department to change, enter the temple, pay the toll, get through the customs and protect pedestrians. In the seventh year, the East Palace was built, and officials were sent to inquire about the situation and collect silver coins and goat wine.

In thirty-five years, the court promoted cabinet ministers. The emperor used to travel cautiously, and went to Ye Gaoxiang and Li Tingji. He also read the title of Xijue, especially adding less insurance, and called for it by the government. Three words, no. At that time, it was said that Li Feng, an official, was angry and Lord Xi went into secret to reveal his power. Among them, there are words like "all the chapters and performances are left in the middle, and they are particularly despised as the sound of birds". The official was furious when he heard this. However, in the process of giving things, they are first broken down, and their colleague Hu Jiadong and others talked about it. Sijue also closed the door and gained weight, but he resigned. Three years later, he died at home at the age of 77. For Taibao, for Wensu.

Jpua, the word Chen Yu, has few literary names. In order to become the first talent, he claimed that he would not try again because he was criticized. In the twenty-ninth year, Xijue had not spoken for a long time, and he began to try the second person, and Shi Ting was also the second person. Editor Grant, my father died.

Brother Xi Jue Ding Jue, Jinshi. Tired as an official, he was an assistant in Henan.

Wang Xijue, jade, was born in Taicang. In the forty-first year of Jiajing (1562), he won the first place in the imperial examination and the second place in the imperial court, and was appointed as an editor. Gradually, the official went to imperial academy to propose a toast.

In the fifth year of Wanli (1577), he was in charge of the Imperial Academy as an official. Before the end of the mourning period, Zhang entered the official position and prepared to crown Wu Zhonghang, Zhao Yongxian and others. Wang Xijue invited more than ten people from the same library to ask Zhang for forgiveness, but Zhang went straight in and ignored him. Wu Zhonghang and others have been punished by the rod punishment, and Wang Xijue helped them cry. The following year, he was promoted to right assistant minister of does. Zhang went back to his hometown for a funeral, and Jiuqing hurriedly asked to return to Beijing, but Wang Xijue did not sign it. Soon, he asked to visit relatives and quit his job. Zhang hated Wang Xijue even more, because he exposed his shortcomings, so Wang Xijue did not take office.

In the winter of the 20th year of Wanli (1584), I worked at home as a minister of rites and a college student in Wenyuange, and participated in confidential affairs. After returning to the imperial court, he called for banning flattery, restraining competition, giving up vanity, restraining extravagance, encouraging the atmosphere of discussing state affairs and streamlining work. The emperor praised and accepted it.

At first, Li Zhi and Jiang Dongzhi clashed with ministers such as Shen Shixing and Yang Wei. Because Wang Xijue had high expectations of him and was at odds with Zhang Juzheng, he strongly recommended him. After Wang Xijue entered the DPRK, he joined forces with Shen Shixing and tried his best to crowd out Li Zhi and others, who all left the DPRK. At that time, Shen Shixing was appointed as the recorder and Guo Xu was appointed as the second assistant. All three were Nanji people, while Wang Xijue and Shen Shixing took the exam at the same time and got along well in the cabinet of the same county. Because Shen Shixing is gentle, and Wang Xijue is straightforward. In the 16th year of Wanli (1588), his son Wang Heng won the first place in the examination of Shuntian, and Lang Guan Gao Gui discussed the matter with Rao Shen. Wang Xijue made a series of refutations, and his words were too offensive. Rao Shen was put into prison and removed from the list, and Gao Gui was banished to the frontier. Qiao Bixing's suggestions and suggestions asked the emperor to warn Wang Xijue that he must expand his magnanimity and become a virtuous and cultured minister. Wang Xijue made a defense. Therefore, it gradually contradicts the discussion of the court.

At that time, many people invited the princes to establish a crown prince, but the emperor did not listen. In the eighteenth year of Wanli (1590), Wang Xijue requested to teach the prince in advance, hired Jiang Yinglin and others, and asked the former governor Cai Li for forgiveness, but he did not get an answer. On one occasion, because of the drought, he requested to recall his office. The emperor ordered him to stay. The fire turned red, the truth invaded the western frontier, and people who talked about it rushed to ask for troops. Wang Xijue advocated a peaceful settlement, which is consistent with Shen Shixing's opinion. Soon, he had a dispute with his colleagues over the title of crown prince. He closed the door and asked to return to China. Soon, because my mother was old, I invited her to visit relatives in my hometown. So the emperor gave him money and sent officials to escort him. Two years after returning home, Shen Shixing, Guo Xu and Wang Jiaping left their posts one after another, and Wang Xijue was urged and summoned by letters. In the first month of the 21st year of Wanli, he returned to the imperial court and became a record.

Before that, there was an imperial decree. In the spring of this year, a ceremony was held to book the crown prince and warn the court ministers not to ask for it easily. In response to the Zhang Youde incident, all court ministers showed silence. By this time, Wang Xijue secretly asked the emperor to decide a big plan. The emperor sent the chamberlain to show the imperial edict he had written to Wang Xijue, hoping to wait for his son, and ordered the eldest son and two second sons to be temporarily enfeoffed as kings. Wang Xijue was afraid of losing the will of the emperor and immediately drafted an imperial edict. However, he was worried about public opinion, so he suggested: "Ma Huanghou of Emperor Hanming, the empress of Emperor Tang Ming and his empress all raised your concubine's son as their own son, and asked the emperor to instruct the empress to raise the eldest son, then the eldest son would be the direct son, and the biological mother did not have to respect the rank to suppress the imperial concubine." It is also suggested that the decree be submitted to the palace. Neither Zhao nor Zhang Wei in the same column had heard of it beforehand. The emperor actually issued the previous imperial edict to the ceremony officer and ordered the ceremony to be prepared immediately. Therefore, the whole court was in an uproar. Shi Menglin, the minister of justice, and Luo collectively went to Wang Xijue's residence to fight for it. Court ministers and admonishers submit the memorial several times a day. Wang Xijue, Zhao and Zhang Wei tried their best to ask the emperor to restore the previous letters, but the emperor did not listen to their advice. Soon, more people protested. Yue, Gu Yuncheng, Zhong Nabi, Chen Tailai, Yu, Li, Zeng Fengyi, Zhong Huamin, Xiang Dezhen and others stopped Wang Xijue in court and argued with him face to face. Li Tengfang also wrote to Wang Xijue. Wang Xijue invited the court to discuss, but the emperor did not agree. He asked for a face-to-face statement, but he got no answer. So he impeached his mistake and asked to be exempted from the punishment of the official position. The emperor was forced by public opinion to withdraw and shelve the previous order, and ordered to wait for two or three years before discussing the implementation of the album. Wang Xijue immediately summoned the emperor and made a decisive decision, saying: "In the past, when the eldest son was born, he had already promulgated the imperial edict of amnesty for the whole world. The imperial edict called' only bearing clan society' obviously regarded him as the crown prince. What are you thinking now and have not decided? " There is no answer.

In July, comets appeared, and there were laws for practice and reflection. Wang Xijue asked the emperor to summon the minister. He also suggested: "The comet is gradually approaching the purple constellation, and the emperor should relax the punishment for the left and right when he lives cautiously. Don't indulge in diseases and distribute money and food to spread the emperor's favor. " After a month, he remonstrated and said, "The comet has entered the purple constellation, and it can't be destroyed by employing people alone. Only the establishment of the Crown Prince can eliminate the disaster. Uranus is called the emperor star, and Prince is called the former star. Now that the former stars have shone, the emperor didn't make a decision early, which led to this disaster. If the crown prince is quickly conferred, the change of the sky will naturally disappear. " The emperor replied that he knew, but he still insisted on waiting until spring. Wang Xijue repeatedly expressed strong exhortation, and he repeatedly pleaded.

In November, on the birthday of the Empress Dowager, the emperor presided over the palace gate to receive greetings, and called Wang Xijue to NuanGe alone to comfort him, saying, "You are really loyal and filial when you support your mother to come to Kyoto." Wang Xijue kowtowed and thanked him, and took this opportunity to ask the emperor to determine the foundation of the country as soon as possible. The emperor asked, "What should the queen do if she gives birth to a son?" He replied: "This statement was ok ten years ago. Now the eldest son is thirteen years old. What are you waiting for? " Besides, are there any thirteen-year-old children who haven't studied since ancient times? "The emperor was very moved. Wang Xijue then asked the emperor to call more ministers to talk to protect the Eucharist. After resigning, he strongly demanded and advised: "The imperial court thinks that the imperial concubine has ulterior motives in taking advantage of the emperor's favor. This accusation against the imperial concubine may make the Zheng family feel uneasy. I hope your majesty will think deeply. "The emperor wanted to play the script more. He wrote a letter to Wang Xijue:" Qing always mentioned the imperial concubine in every performance. Why? "They have advised me many times. I know the teachings of my ancestors. Empresses and concubines are not allowed to participate in court affairs. How dare they abide by it? " Wang Xijue said: "The only person who is with the eldest son of the emperor now is the son of the imperial concubine. Don't doubt the imperial concubine, who does the world doubt? Who does the imperial concubine not blame herself? Zu Xun does not participate in the foreign affairs in the palace, which is a problem of not participating in the employment management of other hospitals. Just like a book, this is your majesty's family affairs, and the third son of the emperor is the son of the imperial concubine. Your majesty will not plan with the imperial concubine, will he? Besides, imperial concubine Huang has served the Eucharist for a long time. She is very dear and virtuous. There are so many comments from foreign courts that I can't bear to hear that there is no accusation against her. I am a 60-year-old man, and I strongly refute what everyone says. Thank you, your majesty still has doubts. However, it must be like a young man attacking a noble princess, but is your majesty in a happy mood? " The emperor nodded. Zhao and Zhang Wei also strongly demand it. A few days later, the prince received an order to get married and study. Not only that, the emperor also ordered the widespread purchase of pearls and jadeite treasures for making pavilion etiquette, with a total value of more than 300,000 yuan. Minister of Commerce Yang Junmin and others opposed the pre-purchase system, while Wang and others strongly discouraged it. The emperor personally wrote an imperial edict informing Wang Xijue that he would change the time. Wang Xijue politely invited him to play, but he didn't really reschedule. In February of the following year, the ceremony of the prince leaving the cabinet was completed, and everything was like the etiquette of the East Palace, which pleased both inside and outside the court.

When Wang Xijue was in the cabinet, he asked to stop weaving in Jiangnan, stop offering pottery in Jiangxi, reduce tribute in Yunnan, and allocate funds from the inner government to relieve the famine in Henan. The emperor didn't object. He loved you more than all the ministers before and after. He rescued Li Yi and strongly advocated that the scepter should not be used, which was especially praised by the world. It was only because of the will and seal of the two kings that it was discussed by everyone. Soon, doctor Zhao Nanxing was demoted, assistant minister Zhao Yongxian was exiled to his hometown, and all those who helped him were condemned or demoted, and everyone thought it was Wang Xijue. Although he played a series of confession plays and saved people, people could not forgive him in the end. So Wang Xijue repeatedly said that he was ill and asked to retire. The emperor didn't want him to leave, so he set aside a sum of money from Neiku to build a fasting hall for him and prayed for his recovery. Wang Xijue strongly refused, and it took the emperor eight times to agree. I have sealed the Prince Taibao for many times, and ordered him to be the official minister, enter the building of the Jitang, reward the tolls, take a post car and be escorted back to his hometown by pedestrians. Seven years after returning to his hometown, he was awarded the title of prince. The emperor sent officials to meet him with letters and gave him silver coins, sheep and wine.

In the thirty-fifth year of Wanli (1607), the court elected cabinet ministers. The emperor has appointed Yu and Ye He, and he still misses Wang Xijue. He specially named him Shaobao and sent officials to summon him. He refused many times, but the emperor did not agree. At that time, the official career was prosperous, and Wang Xijue secretly slandered. Among them, there are words such as "The emperor left the throne in the palace, especially despised them, and called it the voice of birds". The official was furious when he heard these things. He was the first person to impeach him, and Hu Jiadong and others also talked about it. Wang Xijue also closed himself to the outside world and eventually refused to go to Beijing. Three years later, he died at home at the age of 77. To Taibao, posthumous title Wensu.
