Chapter 196: See you in the dagger
Zhang Huanwen had obviously done his homework before this, and he poured out his words, and everyone in the Boundless Palace was silent, but they all looked at Qin Xiang sideways, with different thoughts.
It is inevitable that he will feel sad from time to time, and secretly sigh that the former Qingying Academy Palace has fallen to such a point, being so teased and humiliated by everyone, but there is nothing he can do.
After all, there are only a few people with such thoughts, people like to see high-rise buildings, but they like to see buildings collapse, even if they are full of readers, most of them are not exempt from vulgarity.
They stared at Qin Xiang, watching each other's fists clenched and their brows furrowed, waiting for him to react.
Whether to get up and reprimand, or bow your head and forbear.
Of course, any choice made by Qin Xiang would be useless, but it could become a topic of conversation between them and others in the future.
I saw that Qin Xiang's head was getting lower and deeper, and his fists were clenched tighter and tighter, but after all, he had no intention of speaking again to confront Zhang Huanwen.
It's not that he doesn't want to, but he can't.
The situation of the Qingying Academy has deteriorated over the years, and in the past, it was more or less able to rely on the help of students who were going out, but with the death of Jiang Huanshui, the only one who held real power outside, the situation of the Qingming Academy Palace became more and more embarrassing, and now it can only endure everywhere.
Zhang Huanwen saw the other party's appearance in his eyes, and his heart was even more proud, he raised his eyebrows, and said at that time: "Mr. Qin is the first disciple of the Qingying Academy, so he should understand that talking on paper is empty talk after all, and facts always speak louder than words." ”
"The Qingying Academy has taken the wrong path, but it doesn't matter, the Boundless Academy and the Qingying Academy are in the same breath, and they will help ...... in the future."
When Zhang Huanwen said this, his tone suddenly softened, and he was no longer as aggressive as before, and outsiders would secretly feel that Boundless Academy was quite generous, not aggressive, and gave people steps.
But in fact, this is clearly a message, telling the Qing Ying Academy that if it wants to gain a foothold in the northern realm in the future, it will have to rely on his Boundless Academy.
Zhang Huanwen was very satisfied with his proper rhetoric, and was thinking about continuing to say something.
But at this moment, a voice suddenly came from the side.
"Listen to what Mr. means, what a scholar has to do is to close the door and not ask about things outside the window, right?"
Zhang Huanwen was stunned for a moment, but when he looked sideways, he saw a young man next to Li Chenghuang standing up and looking at him with heavy eyes.
His eyebrows were raised, and he naturally knew the identity of the other party.
He arched his hand towards Wei Lai and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Wei, the mention of Ling Zu in the next word is an unintentional move to discuss the matter, and I ask Your Highness to forgive me." ”
"Just the matter?" Wei Lai thought about it secretly, this Zhang Huanwen's son is Zhang Miao, he shot at Zhang Miao that day, and estimated that the other party had already kept this matter in mind, but after all, he didn't stand a single word of reason, so he didn't fight him.
And since the other party came to the door, even if Wei Lai didn't want to provoke the other party, there was no reason to let the other party ride on his face and act recklessly.
What's more, the name Jiang Huanshui is not something that anyone can mention, let alone humiliate.
"Dare to ask what your excellency is talking about?" Wei Lai asked.
"His Royal Highness King Wei has just come here, and I don't know the topic of this discussion, so I will talk to you here. Zhang Huansheng said with a smile: "What we are talking about today is the difference between being a person and a person. ”
"Mr. Qin of the Qingming Academy believes that it is the duty of a scholar to apply what he has learned. ”
But after a few entries are listed below, instead of benefiting one party, but leaving a legacy of people through the ages, Mr. Qin agreed with the following statement. What's the matter? His Royal Highness King Wei is also interested in participating in this discussion?"
I have to say that Zhang Huanwen, as a great sage of Confucianism and Taoism, has a bearing that most people Wei Lai has met in the past cannot compare.
It stands to reason that with his generational cultivation, there is no problem in calling Wei Lai for the next generation, but he is a mouthful of His Royal Highness the King of Wei, and his demeanor respectfully explains everything today to Wei Lai.
Wei Lai listened to his question, and instead of answering him, he asked: "Mr. just said that my grandfather's name is Yan Chen, but he is actually a Yan thief, and he said that he was reckless and killed 300,000 iron horsemen of Dachu and one million armor soldiers of Ningzhou. ”
"Zai Xia is dull, I heard about this in the early years, and I felt incredible, Mr. is highly talented, it is better to take this opportunity to tell Zai Xia how my grandfather killed 300,000 Great Chu Iron Cavalry and Ningzhou million armor soldiers. ”
When these words came out, the Confucian scholars present frowned, and secretly said in their hearts that His Royal Highness the King of Wei did not look very old, but the city government was extremely deep.
Jiang Huanshui is located in Ningzhou, known as the lion of the north, this head is not rewarded by anyone, but by the bloody and bloody wind and blood.
Although Jiang Huanshui is indeed suspected of being a powerful minister, but in the final analysis, what happened back then was a war provoked by Da Chu, and when it comes to this matter, Zhang Huanwen's previous remarks may not be tenable.
Thinking of this, everyone looked at Zhang Huanwen again, but Zhang Huanwen said calmly: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei is young and promising, and there are many affairs in Ningzhou that need to be dealt with, so it is reasonable to neglect to study. Although this matter has nothing to do with today's arguments, since King Wei issued an article, he will be cheeky to talk to King Wei about it. ”
"When the Emperor Hantian reigned, he was known to be eloquent, and he intended to annex Liuhe and bring the northern territory into the territory, so he sent troops to Ningzhou, and 300,000 troops confronted one million Ningzhou soldiers outside Yuxue City, fighting fiercely for several months, and the two sides exhausted their efforts. ”
Hearing this, Wei Lai couldn't help frowning, it wasn't that there was anything distorted in what Zhang Huanwen said, the reason why Wei Lai frowned was precisely because what Zhang Huanwen said could be said to be 1510 to tell the whole process of the whole thing really and there was no distortion.
This is a very unreasonable thing, after all, Zhang Huanwen slandered Jiang Huanshui like that before, and said that he was a thug who was reckless, Wei Lai originally wanted to make his remarks self-defeating, but the other party's calmness made Wei Lai realize that he was afraid that the other party's remarks would have a later story.
But the plan has been revealed, and Wei Lai has no way back, although he is full of suspicions, he said in his mouth: "Mr. also said, it was the war that Da Chu provoked first, what is wrong with my grandfather leading troops to resist the enemy?"
"Your Highness doesn't know anything. Zhang Huanwen, as Wei Lai expected, had already prepared for Wei Lai's words, he smiled and said: "When Emperor Chu sent out his troops, he was with Jiang Huanshui through gas, as long as Jiangzhou Mu can cut out more than ten cities, including Yuxue City, he can retreat. ”
Wei Lai was stunned when he heard this, he thought that Zhang Huanwen would say something high at this time, but he didn't want to spit out such words.
He laughed and said, "What does Mr. Yi mean is that there are bandits in my house, and my family has 10,000 taels of silver, and he said that he can leave as long as 2,000 taels, so I have to give him 2,000 taels, and if I don't give him money, it's mine, isn't it?"
"How can money be compared to human life?"
"The sages have a saying: the king is light, the society is secondary, and the people are important. ”
"How can a land with a few cities be able to match the lives of a million people? Moreover, in the hundreds of years in the north, soldiers and swords have come and gone, and countless casualties have been inflicted, and when has there ever been a stop? The rise and fall are all the sufferings of the people, how can there be an end? It is better to cultivate one's temperament, seek the way of the sages, participate in the supreme way of heaven, and shepherd the world, so as to put an end to the troubled times. ”
Zhang Huanwen squinted his eyes and said.
Wei Lai's heart sank when he heard this, and with his temperament, he naturally would not be intimidated by the other party's shocking remarks that reversed black and white, he just suddenly realized that he seemed to underestimate the Confucian and Taoist sage in front of him.
The Eight Great Sages, that is the goal of many monks who have pursued all their lives.
He needs talent, opportunity, heart and many other elements to be mixed together, and each of them must be top-notch before it is possible to touch the lintel of the eighth divine gate.
And Zhang Huanwen is only in his early fifties, and he can reach this realm, which shows that his talent and temperament are the top of the top, and his strategy is far beyond ordinary people.
But Wei Lai is here, and his insulting words to Jiang Huanshui will inevitably attract Wei Lai's anger.
You must know that Jiang Huanshui's name resounded throughout the northern realm, no matter whether friends or enemies mentioned these three words, they were all in awe, and he was certainly able to rely on the cultivation of the Eight Great Sages and the name of the Boundless Academy to force everyone's dissatisfaction and distort the facts.
This is not a difficult task, but everyone must be unconvinced, but it will ruin the reputation of Boundless Academy.
Wei Lai had always felt that what Zhang Huanwen said was strange before, and Wei Lai could find a thousand ways to break it down with this remark, but with the other party's temperament, even if he wanted to forcibly distort the facts, he would not say such flawed words.
Thinking of this, Wei Lai's brows tightened, he raised his eyes and looked at the Confucian scholars around him, they were all Confucian and Taoist powers from all over the northern realm, and they had a huge influence in their respective realms, and even most of them had connections with the monarchs or powerful ministers of the dynasty, and then thinking of what Zhang Huanwen said and Emperor Chu, who suddenly changed his attitude and let Li Chenghuang participate in this Confucian and Taoist conference, Wei Lai suddenly realized something.
He suddenly looked up at Zhang Huanwen, but Zhang Huanwen continued to speak at that time.
"The nine northern borders have been divided for thousands of years, and the wars have continued, and the people are struggling to make a living. We waited for Confucian scholars to become officials, but what we got was not the matter of using the government of sages to shepherd the people, but holding the soldiers in our hands and the way of killing. ”
"A man of benevolence, righteousness and sage, but in the end he was reduced to a soldier's killing. ”
"The day before yesterday, I just received the order of Emperor Chu, and there is an edict passed on to you, and you can bring it back to all countries and make clear to the kings. ”
"From now on, my Emperor Chu, for the eternal peace of the north, will gather all sides of the army to send troops to the nations, if the countries know this kindness, they will go out of the city to surrender, if they are stubborn, they can only wait for the sword. ”
"Look to the public!"
