Life of the characters
Early experience
Huang zunsu (1584-1626.6.24) was born in Yuyao County, Shaoxing Prefecture, Zhejiang Province, and the father of famous scholar Huang Zongxi. Wanli 44 years (1616) Jinshi, appointed to push the official Ningguo, smart and strong.
On personnel
In 1622, he was promoted to imperial censor and asked for leave to go home. When he returned to the imperial court in the winter of the next year, Shangshu asked for the recall of Yu maoheng, Cao Yubian, Liu Zongzhou, Zhou Hongmo, Wang Ji, Zou yuanbiao, and Feng Congwu, while impeachment of Zhao Bingzhong, the Minister of state, Niu YingYuan, and Ding Qirui was stupid and slow. Zhao Bingzhong and Niu YingYuan resigned and left. After the Shandong uprising was suppressed, the rest of the uprising army stirred up again. Governor Wang Weijian couldn't control it, and Huang zunsu talked about it sparsely. So he said: "the governor was originally selected and appointed from inside and outside, but now they all appoint Beijing officials. It's better to recommend and appoint well-trained local officials." He also stated border affairs many times and tried his best to slander General Ma Shilong, which went against sun Chengzong's intention. It had been several years since the emperor ascended the throne, and he had never summoned ministers. Huang zunsu asked to resume the precedent of meeting ministers face-to-face in the biandian, and decide state affairs face to face. Otherwise, he could also use the opportunity of explaining the classics and history to let ministers discuss whether they could carry out the policy face to face. The emperor did not adopt it.
Remonstrance through change
In February of the fourth year of the Apocalypse (1624), the strong wind blew up the yellow sand, which blocked out the sun and accompanied by the sound of drums for ten days. On the first day of March, there were three earthquakes in the capital, especially in the Qianqing palace. It happened that the emperor was in poor health and people were in constant panic. Huang zunsu tried his best to state the top ten mistakes of current affairs policy. Finally, he said, "Your Majesty suppresses and despises officials, which makes everyone taboo. This is why some people only mention trifles and dare not offend those in power. Nowadays, the imperial officials are more important than Zhao Rao, and the ban on travel is similar to that in the late Tang Dynasty. There are no ministers in the imperial court who plan strategies, and there are no generals in the border defense who can defeat the enemy. The people in power are ignorant of the safety of the country, and the troublemakers cover up the failure in many ways. Instead of recommending talents to repel unworthy people at this time, your majesty dislikes people who are resolute and upright, and regards them as enemies. Does your majesty not think about your country? " When the memorial was handed in, Wei Zhongxian was furious and planned to put him in the court. Han Yu made great efforts to rescue him, so he was deprived of only one year's salary.
Impeachment power
Soon after, Yang Lian impeached Wei Zhongxian and was ordered to blame. Huang zunsu was very angry, and then Shangshu said to the general effect, "is there any power in the world that belongs to the people who are near to you, and the emperor's power is lost, and the country is peaceful and wise? There are disputes between China and foreign countries in the world. Do you not want to get a share of the benefits from dividing up the country, but can you still hand over the country to the people around you? Your Majesty must have thought that flattering and careful people can be reused. If you don't know how to keep away from these people, you can't make people who are not afraid to get appointed. Your Majesty must think that only I can control it. If you don't know you can't control it, it's out of control. Since his majesty ascended the throne, one by one, Gongqing's admonitions have been removed from office, which makes the incumbent have no long-term plan. This is not called isolation, but the departure of a valet is called isolation? Now the court officials have exposed the illegal situation of Wei Zhongxian. If your majesty doesn't make a decision early, what worries will he have when he sees that there is no hope for his future and that he will jump over the wall in a hurry? Wei Zhongxian would not take back the reins of his indulgent ambition to repent. Wei Zhongxian's private party will not take back their oars for self-interest, but let them melt in silence. In the beginning, he was just hostile to the officials, and then he would take the supreme throne as a gamble. Now that the foundation protection is firm, who can deal with them. It's not only that admonition is not enough to defeat them, but even the use of force is hard to work. " Wei Zhongxian was even more dissatisfied with the memorial.
Begging for mercy
After Wan Xuan was killed by the Imperial Staff, he thought that Lin Ruzhu, the imperial censor of the Imperial Staff, would go to the cabinet to argue. Hundreds of eunuchs swarmed into the cabinet, waving their fists and yelling at each other. All cabinet ministers bowed their heads and dared not speak. Huang zunsu said harshly: "the cabinet is very important. Even if the secretary did not receive the imperial edict, he did not dare to come. How dare you guys be so rude!" So the eunuchs dispersed slowly. Before long, Wan Yu died of serious injury. Huang zunsu said: "according to the law, the death penalty is not imposed on the top ten crimes, such as treason. Now, the loyal minister, who is full of courage, died in the hands of the grinning villain. These villains must have told each other that they could use the emperor's privilege to flog all officials. He inherited Dong Hu's writing style and Zhu Xi's Compendium of Tongjian, so he wrote: "on a certain day and month, doctor Wan Yao was killed by the Imperial Staff for advising on state affairs." Isn't this the holy virtue of the emperor! Those who submit this statement must say that it is the ancestral system, but they don't know that Wang Zhen and Liu Jin practiced it in Zhengtong and Zhengde years, and Zhang Cong, Yan Song and Zhang Juzheng implemented it in Shizu and Shenzong years. If the villains want to indulge their selfish desires and are afraid of being restrained by loyal officials and righteous people, they must vent their private indignation with the Imperial Staff, which makes the emperor be accused of refusing to give advice. They are in charge of the actual power, while the people with lofty ideals are in danger of being implicated. So villains do whatever they want, without scruple, and blame the state. Wan Huojing is dead. It is not a precedent to insult and kill upright people. He begged for the restoration of Wan Yao's original official position, and gave him special care, so that his descendants could personally escort the coffin back to his hometown, and WAN Yao would never die. " It is against Wei Zhongxian's intention that memorials are handed in.
Dismissal with injustice
In August, Henan paid tribute to the jade seal. Wei Zhongxian wanted to exaggerate this. He ordered him to enter the city from Daming gate to accept the jade seal. Huang zunsu said: "in the past, Emperor zhezong of the Song Dynasty got a seal. Cai Que and others argued that it was a good omen. They changed the name of the year to Yuan Fu. The national destiny of the Song Dynasty could not last long. In the Hongzhi period of this dynasty, Shaanxi offered the jade seal, but only ordered it to be sent to the imperial court to reward five Liang. This is the precedent of our ancestors and should be dealt with accordingly. " So the matter stopped. In the spring of the fifth year of Tianqi (1625), he was sent to Shaanxi to inspect the tea horse exchange market. Just after he left Beijing, the rebel Cao Qincheng revealed that he was attacking good people, which encouraged the arrogance of Gao Panlong and Wei Dazhong, so he was reduced to a civilian.
know what one is about
Huang zunsu is loyal and upright, dare to tell the truth, especially has foresight. When he first entered the government, Zou yuanbiao did help him. Huang zunsu advised Zou yuanbiao: "the capital city is not a place to give lectures. There was a precedent for Xu Wenzhen to gather people to discuss before." Zou yuanbiao did not listen to and adopt it. Yang Lian was going to attack Wei Zhongxian. Wei Dazhong told him that Huang zunsu said, "to clear the people around the emperor, we must have internal help. Does Yang Gong have such a person? If the attack doesn't work, the rest of us won't survive. " When Wan Yu dies, Huang zunsu suggests that Yang Lian resigns, but Yang Lian doesn't listen, and finally gets into trouble. General Wei wants to impeach Wei Guangwei. Huang zunsu said: "Wei Guangwei is a villain among villains. If you attack him too quickly, he will take risks." Wei Dazhong did not listen, and Wei Guangwei took refuge with Wei Zhongxian, which led to a great disaster. At this time, the Donglin Party was full of imperial court, and the Donglin Party itself was divided into several factions according to the different origins. Zhang Yunru and Chen Liangxun in Jiangxi Province had a bad time with Wei Dazhong. Wei Dazhong wanted to refute nanshizhong's excessive pension, and the people in Western Shaanxi were not happy. Huang zunsu quickly told Wei Dazhong to stop him. At last, Yin Tonggao and pan Yunyi of Shanxi Province wanted to elect Guo Shangyou as governor of Shanxi Province. Wei Dazhong insisted on not agreeing because Guo Shangyou had investigated the ministers left by the former dynasty several times. Huang zunsu cites Du Zhengnan's repeated contacts with the powerful people in Luoyang as an example to advise him. Wei Dazhong didn't listen to him and recommended Xie Yingxiang to be appointed. The disaster happened.
Die bravely
When Wang Wenyan was just released from prison, Wei Zhongxian wanted to find out each person's charges. Soon, when he learned that it was Huang zunsu who resolved it, he became even more jealous. Wei Zhongxian's party members also wanted to kill Huang zunsu because of his resourcefulness. It's just a rumor in Suzhou that Huang zunsu wants to follow Yang Yiqing's example of killing Liu Jin and let Li Shi play the role of Zhang Yong and teach him the secret plot. Wei Zhongxian was very afraid and sent four spies to Suzhou to spy on intelligence. Shen Yan, a servant of Wu Cheng, lived at home and told Wei Zhongxian, "something's happened!" On that day, he sent messengers to scold Li Shi, took away the blank memorial with seal, listed the names of seven people in Huang zunsu, and arrested him. When the emissary came to Suzhou, he met the flag officer who besieged and arrested Zhou Shunchang in Suzhou City, while people outside the city attacked the person who arrested Huang zunsu. The person in charge of the arrest lost the warrant and didn't dare to arrive. When Huang zunsu heard about it, he immediately put on his prison uniform and surrendered himself to the Yamen. Xu Xianchun and Cui YingYuan were tortured, extorted 2802 stolen money, and chased every five days. Soon, knowing that the jailer was going to kill himself, Huang zunsu kowtowed to the emperor and his father for their kindness, wrote a poem and committed suicide. At this time
