Chapter 1042: Angry at King Ping of Zhou! Tigers and Wolves Have Looked Eastward for Hundreds of Years, and I Am the only One Left with Orthodoxy?
Not to mention Wei Liao and others, even Ying Zheng looked at Yuan Shouyue with shock and asked: "Yan and Donghu are secretly connected, and you denounced them as being close to Di and similar to Di."
"Now Dai and Xiongnu have openly formed an alliance, but you think this is right?"
"How can you say such a ridiculous thing!"
Ying Zheng was not angry at all, but was shocked by the words that were beyond his imagination.
Dai Wangjia's behavior was obviously more outrageous than Yan Wangxi, but Yuan Shou scolded Yan Wangxi so vigorously, but he stopped when it was Dai Wangjia's turn?
Ying Zheng couldn't understand it!
Ying Zheng was shocked!
The salary issued by the widower was eaten by such a person?
Facing Ying Zheng's angry glare, Yuan Shou answered fearlessly: "Because the King of Dai did nothing wrong, I can say this."
"If the King of Dai did something wrong, then the Lord of Shen was also wrong."
"Lord of Shen, it won't be wrong!"
The succession of the Eastern and Western Zhou dynasties is a topic that all Confucian scholars, princes, and even Confucius and Mencius are trying to avoid, because the interests involved in this topic are too broad.
If the Lord of Shen's actions are unjust, then the legitimacy of King Ping of Zhou is gone. Then is the Zhou ritual after King You of Zhou still the Zhou ritual? Are the princes enfeoffed after King You of Zhou still princes?
Is there anything worth learning from the system of the Zhou Dynasty, which only existed for 275 years and was destroyed by traitors and foreigners?
Yuan Shou's words are ridiculous.
But these ridiculous words are protecting the interests of countless people and countless countries!
Ying Zheng was furious: "In my opinion, the King of Dai's move is an unjust move!"
"Just because the King of Dai mentioned Shen Hou, can an unjust move become a righteous move?"
Chun Yuyue stepped out of the line, thought about it, but frowned and retracted his steps, shaking his head and muttering: "Shen Hou's move is very different from the King of Dai's move."
"Shen Hou is to help Zhou's country, but the King of Dai is just to attack the princes."
"You can't think that the King of Dai is not wrong just because he mentioned Shen Hou!"
After thinking carefully, Chun Yuyue felt that Yuan Shou's advice was a bit too extreme.
But this matter involves the legal orthodoxy of King Ping of Zhou after all, Chun Yuyue couldn't refute Yuan Shou for a while, so he had to think carefully.
Doctors Chunyu Yue and others were lost in thought, but more than ten doctors came out with their hands clasped together: "Whether it is righteous or unrighteous is not up to the king's own opinion, but up to the opinions of the people of the world!"
"Even if the king spreads the alliance between the king of Dai and the Xiongnu to the world, the people of the world will not think that the king of Dai's action is unjust!"
Ying Zheng was so angry that he laughed: "Good, good, good!"
"What a ridiculous reason! What a ridiculous statement!"
"I don't believe that everyone in the world can't tell right from wrong like you!"
Yuan Shou asked in a cold voice: "Does the king think that Shen Hou's action is wrong?"
Ying Zheng certainly thinks that Shen Hou is wrong. In Ying Zheng's view, Shen Hou's action is an act of forgetting his ancestors!
But Ying Zheng knew that he couldn't say that, otherwise Ying Zheng would become the public enemy of Confucian scholars in the world!
Ying Zheng was silent for a while, and had to think about the differences between the actions of the king of Dai and Shen Hou first.
Seeing Ying Zheng thinking silently, Yuan Shou breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to release two sweet dates: "Of course, the alliance between the King of Dai and the Xiongnu this time is not completely wrong."
"The process of the alliance between the King of Dai and the Xiongnu this time is completely inconsistent with the rules of etiquette and law."
"I think that the king can let all the Confucian scholars in the world denounce it!"
After hearing this, Ying Zheng just wanted to curse!
And Ying Chengjiao cursed directly: "You all keep saying that Shen Hou is not wrong. The King of Dai and Shen Hou are consistent, so they are not wrong."
"But I think that Shen Hou is a thief who has forgotten his ancestors and betrayed China, and everyone can punish him!"
Yuan Shou, Chunyu Yue and all other Confucian scholars looked up in astonishment.
Whose general is this, so brave?
Did Chang'an Jun say this? So what!
Whoever dares to violate the orthodoxy of the Great Zhou will be sprayed!
Just as Yuan Shou was about to start spitting, he heard Ying Chengjiao continue to say: "Is the only thief in the Zhou Dynasty Shen Hou?"
"Don't say that King Ping of Zhou knew nothing about Shen Hou's alliance with foreign tribes in the north."
"Shen Hou is the uncle of King Ping of Zhou. How could King Ping of Zhou not know Shen Hou's character? King Ping of Zhou knew Shen Hou's character but still disobeyed King You of Zhou's order and fled out of the city to join Shen Hou, which led King You of Zhou to attack Shen."
"King Ping of Zhou also sat indifferent while watching Shen Hou's alliance with foreign tribes in the north and leading foreign tribes into the pass to slaughter the Chinese people. In the end, he pretended to be naive and ignorant and sat on the throne of the emperor."
"King Ping of Zhou is also a thief who stole the country! He should be executed!"
Everyone: ? ? ?
The scholars were stunned.
Even the Qin monarchs and ministers such as Ying Zheng and Wei Liao were all stunned.
Everyone in the world knows that you, Lord Chang'an, are a lobbyist, good at lobbying, and invincible.
But we really didn't know that you, Lord Chang'an, were so brave!
It's okay for you to scold ordinary people, and we can barely accept your scolding of Shen Hou.
But that was the founding king of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty! The first emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty!
How dare you scold King Ping of Zhou for not getting the throne legitimately, and even scold King Ping of Zhou for being a thief who stole the country?
Even King Zhaoxiang and King Zhuangxiang didn't dare to say this!
Ying Chengjiao's words greatly broke through the imagination limit of everyone in this era, and even broke through the bottom line of everyone's cognition in this era, so that Yuan Shou and others were almost speechless in shock!
Ying Chengjiao himself felt that the more he spoke, the smoother it became: "King You of Zhou has clearly stated that King Ping of Zhou will be abolished as the crown prince, and King Ping of Zhou is not the eldest son or legitimate son of King You of Zhou."
"The Great Zhou Dynasty succeeded to the throne with the legitimate eldest son. King Ping of Zhou is not the eldest, not the legitimate, and not the crown prince. What qualifications does King Ping of Zhou have to succeed King You of Zhou!"
"In the past, King Wu of Zhou ordered King Zhou's son Wu Geng to continue the sacrifices of the Shang Dynasty and named his country Bei instead of Shang. King Cheng of Zhou ordered King Zhou's brother Wei Zi to continue the sacrifices of the Shang Dynasty and also named his country Song instead of Shang. Zhou Li does have the great meaning of survival and continuation, but it only continues the sacrifices instead of extending the country."
"King Ping of Zhou inherited Zhou's sacrifices, country, and country name. Did King You of Zhou agree? Does Zhou Li support it!"
"Therefore, I think Shen Hou is a thief of the world, King Ping of Zhou is a villain who stole the country, and Zhou died when King You of Zhou died!"
Is what Ying Chengjiao said nonsense?
Of course not.
The three biggest problems of King Ping of Zhou are that he was an abandoned prince, his mother was an abandoned queen, and he was in a state of being sidelined from the time he ascended the throne to the death of the emperor!
He was neither the heir nor the eldest nor the wise nor the deposed prince. He also joined forces with foreign tribes to kill the then Zhou emperor by armed rebellion and inherited the throne. Even if you bring Confucius over and ask him by the head, Confucius can't say that King Ping of Zhou got the throne legitimately. He can only talk about other things!
In addition, although Zhou Li supports the continuation of the extinct sacrifice, Zhou Li does not support you to inherit the country name and the land and grain at the same time! The Zhou emperor succeeded the extinct sacrifice of the Shang Dynasty twice, but the name of each country that succeeded the extinct sacrifice of the Shang Dynasty was not Shang, so why did King Ping of Zhou inherit the name of the Zhou Dynasty and the land and grain of the Zhou Dynasty by continuing the extinct sacrifice?
King Ping of Zhou inherited the name of Zhou, which was good for almost all interest groups such as princes, Confucian scholars, and powerful people in the world, and was also good for calming the people and quelling unrest, but it was indeed not in line with Zhou Li!
Otherwise, wouldn't future generations have to admit that the regimes of Southern Han, Cheng Han, Zhao Han, etc. were the Great Han? !
But the basis of Ying Chengjiao's argument is also very shallow, and even crazy.
Even if it is placed in the future, it will be drowned by the spit of the world, and it will make the history teacher angry, let alone in this era.
Even Ying Zheng was stunned. It was hard to imagine that this was what his brother said.
Yuan Shou was even more angry and his face was red, his eyes were about to burst: "Shameless and absurd words!"
"Chang'an Jun can be called a saint, how can he say such absurd words!"
"King Ping of Zhou is the Son of Heaven, who inherits the grace of heaven and governs the people on behalf of heaven. How can he be a thief!"
Ying Chengjiao looked at Yuan Shou and other Confucian scholars with a dim look and said: "Please remember what I said today."
Since you agree that the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, and that as long as you are the Son of Heaven, you will not make mistakes, then I will not say much.
But when my Great Qin replaces the Zhou Dynasty, you must also defend my Great Qin like today!
Otherwise, be careful that I will kill you!
Confucian scholars such as Yuan Shou did not understand what Ying Chengjiao meant by this, but Ying Chengjiao had already given in and said, "Dr. Yuan's words make sense."
"King Ping of Zhou was not a thief, but just a deceived emperor."
"But I still think that Lord Shen is a thief and that Lord Shen's alliance with foreign tribes in the north is unjust!"
"The Zhou Dynasty was destroyed by King You of Zhou!"
Seeing that Ying Chengjiao was unmoved, Yuan Shou simply pointed out the deeper interest relationship directly: "If King Ping of Zhou is unjust, all the princes in the world are unjust!"
Ying Chengjiao spread his hands indifferently: "Whether King Ping of Zhou is righteous or not, it has nothing to do with my Great Qin!"
"The country of my Great Qin was established by King Xiao of Zhou!"
"Whether King Ping of Zhou is righteous or not, it has nothing to do with Dai."
"When the emperor of Dai died in the late Zhou Dynasty, the country of Dai did not exist!"
"The King of Dai is not even a vassal, so what qualifications does he have to be compared with the Marquis of Shen?"
If all the emperors of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty lost their legal legitimacy, then the legal legitimacy of Zhao, Han, Wei and other countries would also collapse.
But what does that have to do with my Great Qin?
The sacrifices of my Great Qin were conferred by King Ping of Zhou's uncle Gaozu and King Xiao of Zhou, the emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty!
Ying Chengjiao suddenly had an idea and said, "The princes have no right to continue their own sacrifices. The lost countries must be re-ennobled by the emperor before they can be restored!"
"After the restoration of the three countries of Yan, Zhao, and Qi, no emperor conferred titles on them, and Dai had no emperor conferred titles on them either!"
"According to the Zhou rituals, the only prince in the world today is our Great Qin, which is personally conferred by the Great Zhou emperor."
"The rest are all traitors!"
Ying Chengjiao felt as if he had opened the door to a new world, and a crazy world opened up to Ying Chengjiao.
If the legal legitimacy of King Ping of Zhou could be shaken through Shen Hou, and then the legal legitimacy of the entire Eastern Zhou Dynasty could be shaken, then the Great Qin could use the name of righteousness!
Ying Chengjiao's eyes lit up, and he looked at Ying Zheng excitedly and said, "Your Majesty!"
"Why did my father attack Duke Wen of the Eastern Zhou? My father was actually avenging King You of Zhou!"
"Why did my Great Qin go east again and again? It was to inherit the orthodox destiny and fight against the enemy!"
"My Great Qin is the only orthodoxy in the world today!"
The king and ministers of the Great Qin, as well as the doctors in the court, were all speechless.
Ying Chengjiao's words were crazy, outrageous, and broke everyone's cognitive limits, but they seemed to make some sense.
Tigers and wolves have looked east for hundreds of years, and I am the only orthodoxy left?
"Pah~"
The brush in the historian's hand fell on the paper.
Is this world so crazy!
