Now that the decision was made, Wang Qinruo quickly put it into action.
The key figure who brought down Liu Jun was a monk.
Master Wei Jing, the great master who translated Tripitaka from Honglu Temple!
This man was proficient in Sanskrit and was a famous Buddhist master in Beijing.
If it were just that, Wang Qinruo wouldn't have targeted Wei Jing. The real reason why he targeted Wei Jing was actually related to Wei Jing's life experience.
Wei Jing was the son of Li Congjian, the younger brother of Li Yu, King of Wu in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and was Li Yu's nephew.
This level of status alone is enough for Wang Qinruo to make a big fuss.
Of course, the charge of rebellion is definitely not acceptable.
Don't treat other people as fools!
What ability does a monk who focuses on translating scriptures have to rebel?
Who would believe it?
However, it is not okay to rebel, but it is okay to miss the motherland.
In the past, what did Li Yu, the empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty, do?
The motherland couldn't bear to look back in the moonlight, and one word cost him his life.
In the same way, Wang Qinruo can also do this to Wei Jing.
As we all know, Liu Jun, Yang Yi and Weijing were good friends. During the Jingde period, Liu Jun, Yang Yi and Weijing sang with each other.
A few days later.
A rumor suddenly spread in the streets of Beijing.
A friend of Master Guangfan (Weijing) broke the news that a few years ago, Weijing recited a poem.
The rain is gurgling outside the curtain, and the spring mood is fading. Luo Jian can't bear the cold at the fifth watch. In the dream, I don't know that I am a guest, and I am greedy for pleasure for a while.
Don't lean on the railing when you are alone. There are boundless rivers and mountains. It is easy to say goodbye and difficult to see others. The flowers fall when the water flows and the spring is gone. Heaven and earth are gone.
This poem was written by the late master of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
In the eyes of future generations, this poem is definitely a beautiful poem.
But in the Song Dynasty, this poem could be classified as a forbidden poem.
What does this poem express?
It is the empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty who misses her homeland and expresses her own sorrow and sorrow.
In fact, this incident was not fabricated by Wang Qinruo, but it was true. Wei Jing did once sing this poem.
However, his original intention of singing this song was to commemorate his uncle.
As Li Yu's nephew, strictly speaking, it is not a big deal to occasionally recite his uncle's poems.
After all, being convicted for speaking out rarely happened in the Song Dynasty.
Therefore, when the news came out, the people in Beijing thought it was no big deal, and at most it was just something to talk about after dinner.
However, different people have different reactions when they hear this.
It didn't take long for the news to reach the ears of the rightful owner, Master Guangfan.
After learning about this incident, Master Guangfan immediately stopped his work of translating scriptures and went to the bookstore to plead guilty.
How Uncle Li Yu died is unknown to outsiders. Can Master Guangfan still know?
Precisely because he knew the inside story, he had no favorable impression of the Zhao and Song royal families. Even if Zhenzong treated the Southern Tang clan well, he could not dispel their doubts.
At first, Master Guangfan's chanting of forbidden words was only spread in the market. Even if the officials in the DPRK and the Central Government knew about it, they would probably laugh it off.
However, things changed after Master Guangfan took the initiative to plead guilty.
Generally speaking, when dealing with such matters, the people should not take action and the officials should not investigate. As long as it is not brought to the surface, whether it is the Gonggun princes or the officials, they will basically turn a blind eye.
.
However, once the matter is put on the table, its nature changes.
After the petition for apology was sent to Zhongshu, the ministers of the Political Affairs Hall quickly gave their approval.
Demoted, fined copper, and dealt with accordingly.
When Li Jie saw this record, he didn't take it seriously.
For descendants of the Southern Tang Dynasty, it’s no big deal if they complain or something.
It wasn't until Liu Jun went to court to defend his friend that this little incident attracted his attention.
The reason Liu Jun defended his friend was also very simple, because he knew very well what kind of person Wei Jing was.
Wei Jing was just a monk who kept aloof from the world. If it weren't for his sensitive status, Wei Jing would definitely be a pillar of talent.
Therefore, he felt that Wei Jing was very unjust.
But Liu Jun never expected that Wei Jing's matter was just an excuse.
The enemy's real target is him!
Liu Jun had just begged for mercy for his friend, when Yushi Xie Tao directly stabbed the officer in the back.
Of course, Xie Tao did not directly name Liu Yun as someone who should not defend Wei Jing. He just quoted a poem that Liu Yun once wrote.
[Hanwu Gaotai cuts into the Jiang River, half of which is full of mist and gloomy mountains. The mulberry fields are eager to see their changes over time, and gourds first became the song of this day.
The Xia Ding moved a few empty objects, and the Qin Bridge was already sinking into the waves. Xiangru can be ironic as a disciple, but it is more elegant and elegant.]
This poem is a typical example of using history to describe the present. The first couplet begins with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty building a tower to the sky, thereby mocking Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for wanting to live forever.
However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who built the Tongtian Tower did not wait for immortality, but waited for the Yellow River to burst its banks.
Later, they used the reappearance of Xia Ding as an excuse to ridicule Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for his great success. After all, Xia Ding had gone through several generations of changes in Xia, Shang, Zhou and Qin and had long since disappeared in the long river of history.
Why did Xia Ding reappear during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?
Most of it is artificial auspiciousness.
In fact, if you just look at this poem, there is nothing wrong with what Liu Jun wants to express.
But if combined with the time when this poem was written, its intention becomes very clear.
This poem was written by Liu Jun during the Jingde period. At that time, although the vigorous east-to-west sacrifices had not yet officially begun.
But Shinsong has shown certain tendencies.
The purpose of Liu Jun's creation of this poem was to admonish the monarch.
He used Emperor Wu as a metaphor for Zhenzong, trying to warn the monarch not to be as obsessed with great achievements as Emperor Wu.
From this point of view alone, there seems to be no problem with Liu Jun's poems expressing his ambitions.
It is normal for literati to use the past to satirize the present.
However, as the saying goes, if you want to impose a crime, there is no excuse for it.
Xie Tao caught the innuendo in the poem and held on to it, using it to criticize Liu Jun.
In addition, he also slightly defended Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in his memorial.
Emperor Wu, Emperor Wu, took the title Wu, which shows the martial arts of Emperor Wu. It just so happens that today's officials also have the intention of worshiping martial arts.
That's why Xie Tao dared to defend Emperor Wu against the disapproval of the world in his memorial.
Of course, it was only a slight mention of Emperor Wu's martial arts. No matter how much, he would not dare to.
Even if today's officials have the intention of advocating martial arts, Xie Tao would not dare to wave the flag and shout for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
After all, Emperor Wu's reputation was not very good among mainstream public opinion.
Funing Hall.
Seeing Xie Tao's notes, Li Jie couldn't help but think of Xie Tao.
In the first year of Qianxing, Xie Tao criticized the Taiping Huimin Bureau.
Moreover, criticizing the Taiping Benefit Bureau for competing with the people is just an excuse. Xie Tao's real intention is to question the tea system.
Previously, Li Jie also commented on Xie Tao.
This person is of no use.
It had been so long that Li Jie had almost forgotten about this person, but then Xie Tao suddenly jumped out again.
It seems that there is one more person in the team overseeing the liquor tax.
However, not now.
After a while, it will be very appropriate to send Xie Tao to supervise the wine tax.
