Volume 1: Twilight Wants to Fall Chapter 34: The Humble Doesn't Dare to Forget the Country (I)

Previous Chapter

Duan Kang looked down at Mr. Xun condescendingly, first looked around, and as far as his eyes went, the previous whispers and countless shocks in the courtyard turned into silence, and Duan Kang snorted coldly, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he seemed to be very satisfied with his deterrence.

Even if Zhou Nanxing has the heart to stand up for Mr. Xun, he can't solve the siege in the name of the lord of the house, and the arguments have always been treated equally, regardless of the status of the Confucian master of the students, they are all regarded as debaters, not to mention that Duan Kang's status is not much inferior to him as the lord of the mansion, whether it is in the Taixue Mansion or outside.

Su Yin had to sweat for Mr. Xun, what Duan Kang said just now was not just a battle of knowledge, the former was a demon and a mischief, and the latter was a nonsense to interfere in politics, every sentence pointed directly to the reputation and virtue that the scholar valued the most, and it was clear that he wanted to make Mr. Xun disgraced and speechless in front of everyone, so ruthless is more murderous than a white knife on the battlefield and a red knife out!

Mr. Xun was unexpectedly calm to everyone present, but he did not sit firmly like a mountain, but stood up and made a standard salute towards Duan Kang, and the sleeves of the black lotus robe were unparalleled.

"It turned out to be Duan Lao, I have read the words of many of your Legalists, and Mr. has written the thirteen policies of the imperial court in the eleventh year of Fengtian and still remember them."

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person with a smiling face, it stands to reason that Mr. Xun's method of repaying grievances with virtue is already a drop of water, but he doesn't want Duan Kang to still despise him with a straight face, but he just returned the salute indifferently, and his posture was arrogant, and even Zhou Nanxing's face was gloomy.

"Xun Tuidu, it's not the first time you and I have met, so you don't need to be so polite, and the old man doesn't come out to argue with you to spread any good stories, I just want to peel off your true face as a hypocrite in front of the Confucian teachers and students present in the Taixue Academy, and save you from confusing the public with this gossip."

There was an uproar in the audience, Su Yin looked at Jiang Shuobei suspiciously, and Jiang Shuobei said calmly: "Look down." ”

Mr. Xun is really good-tempered, and he is not annoyed or angry when he is scolded as a hypocrite in front of him, so he laughs and says: "Then please ask Duan Lao to say what kind of hurtful thing Xun Tuiwan has done, and what kind of hypocrite he is to deceive the world and steal his name." ”

Duan Kang sneered, coughed dryly twice, and then said loudly: "Xun Tuidu, as the former emperor's teacher, but you are contrary to the teacher's way, relying on the favor of the Son of Heaven to intervene in the government, although you have no official position, you have the power to suppress the Manchu Dynasty, right?" ”

Mr. Xun still smiled, and as soon as Duan Kang's voice fell, he replied unhurriedly: "Xun Tuidui lives in the scholar's life, the scholar takes the world as his bosom, the world's affairs are the scholar's internal affairs, the rise and fall of the country, the husband is still responsible, how dare Xun Tuidui dare to shirk?" Thanks to the emperor's grace to worship me as a teacher, one of the ways of the teacher is to answer questions, the Son of Heaven has asked me to answer, even if I am not subject to the imperial court, but I dare not forget the country. The power that Duan Lao said suppressed the Manchu Dynasty, and the civil and military officials were not afraid of me, Xun Tuidu, it was the emperor, I had been favored by the emperor for many years, Duan Lao had ever seen me use my power for personal gain? Have you ever seen me have a party faction in the DPRK? ”

Although Mr. Xun said this in a gentle voice, he was as firm as iron, and Su Yin secretly clenched his fists, shouting in his heart that he did not dare to forget the country! If it weren't for the fact that the needles inside and outside the courtyard could be heard at this time, Su Yin couldn't help but shout!

Duan Kang's mouth flipped over, his old-fashioned stern face stiffened, and he was dumbfounded by Mr. Xun's last question, he thought for a moment, nodded and applauded: "Okay, good, your old man is ashamed of his sophistry skills, but you think that you live in the country, and in the past ten years, Fengtian has written to reform the law of officials, which has made all states and counties complain, and even more harmful, I don't know how many people have died, is this also made up by the old man?" ”

Duan Kang said sharply, and in the end, he roared heartbreakingly, and even more degraded with his finger at Mr. Xun, looking at Duan Kang's trembling arm Su Yin frowned, what kind of grudge does this famous Legalist master have with Mr. Xun, looking at Duan Kang with a flushed face, an old man who is over the age of sixteen is excited like this, not the hatred of killing his father and taking his wife Su Yin doesn't believe it.

Jiang Shuobei suddenly patted his head after hearing the reform law, and looked like he suddenly realized, and after snorting, he said to himself: "So that's the case!" ”

Su Yin asked, "What do you know again?" ”

Jiang Shuobei's expression was intriguing, and he seemed to smile and said: "I said that according to the reputation of Duan Kang's Taixue Academy, even if he wants to kill Mr. Xun's limelight, he has to be the finale, how can he be the first to come out." ”

Seeing that Jiang Shuobei was selling Guanzi again, Su Yin said impatiently: "I said General Jiang, you put this guess aside!" If you want to say it, you can say it, and I don't bother to listen to it if you don't say it! ”

Jiang Shuobei moved his butt on the wall, and whispered in his ear after getting closer to Su Yin: "Duan Kang used to have a proud protΓ©gΓ©, who was regarded by him as a closed disciple who could teach the mantle, but unfortunately he made a mistake, he could have stayed in the court as an official, but because the court changed the law of officials, it became a model of killing a hundred people, and he had to go to other places to be an official. ”

Su Yin wondered: "Then it has a relationship with Mr. Xun?" Could it be that the murderer behind the scenes is Mr. Xun? ”

Jiang Shuobei pouted and said: "Do you think, Duan Kang, who has studied the law all his life, the most proud disciple died on the change of the law, this matter is quite ironic, after this incident, Duan Kang wrote to the court several times to ask for the stop of changing the law, but unfortunately in the end they were all sunk in the sea, and there were eunuchs in the palace who passed the word, saying that they were stopped by Mr. Xun, Duan Kang hated Mr. Xun is understandable, but it is also very difficult for him to remember and hate for so many years, if he didn't mention it himself, I really can't remember this old thing." ”

Su Yin glanced at Jiang Shuobei, and he didn't know where he heard all these news.

Su Yin couldn't help but think of Mr. Xun's words in the carriage: half of the people in the court didn't want him to enter Beijing, and the other half wanted him to die.

If this is the case, why do you want to return to Chang'an? To get involved in this dangerous situation? Since ancient times, it is not easy to be able to retreat from this whirlpool of broken bones if you are not careful, so why bother to repeat the old tricks?

The death of the first emperor and the accession of the new emperor to the throne, Chang'an has long been a matter of people, and there are people in the green forest where the word is righteous, not to mention the court that shows people's hearts and minds, what kind of important thing can make Mr. Xun so unashamed of his life and his name?

Su Yin was puzzled, he bit his lip tightly, and suddenly seven words that still lingered in his ears came out of his mind: He didn't dare to forget the country.
