Chapter 126: Impeachment of the Imperial History

Lin Ruhai and Lu Jun saw Lu Jing entering, and their eyes were full of worry.

Although he lowered his head, he still felt the depression of Dazhong, and he had no time to take care of the surrounding situation, Lu Jing hurriedly bowed and said: "Weichen Lu Jing see the emperor!" ”

"Ping!" Emperor Yuanyong said indifferently, he couldn't hear the slightest clue in his voice, and asked directly: "There is a royal historian who is arrogant, slanders the words of the sage, and destroys the avenue of learning, can you be guilty?" ”

When Lin Ruhai and Lu Jun heard the emperor ask, their hearts suddenly tightened, and they were secretly worried about Lu Jing, not knowing whether Lu Jing could deal with this crisis.

Lu Jing was stunned when he heard this, and almost exposed his foul language on the spot, thinking that he would be hated if he was promoted, but he didn't expect that there would be a royal history to participate in him, and he put such a big charge on his head, and hurriedly replied: "Back to the emperor, Weichen has read the books of sages since he was a child, and has always adhered to the three fears of a gentleman: fear of the mandate of heaven, fear of adults, fear of the words of saints, and never insult saints. ”

"Since the minister entered the Hanlin Academy, he has always obeyed the holy order, except for compiling and revising history, he has not participated in other things, and Weichen really doesn't know where these crimes come from?"

Emperor Yuan Yong looked at Tang Zezhong and said, "Now that the Lord has arrived, tell me again about what you just participated in." ”

When Lu Jing heard this, he immediately followed Emperor Yuanyong's gaze and looked at the one who was two steps away from him, and the one who participated in his own imperial history.

After seeing his appearance, he rummaged through his memories and found that he had never intersected with this person, and secretly wondered what kind of hatred and resentment this person fabricated to frame himself.

Tang Zezhong glanced at Lu Jing coldly, and then said to Emperor Yuanyong: "Weichen obeys orders, and Weichen participates in Lu Jing's arrogance, taking words out of context, distorting the words of the sage, and reforming himself in vain, cutting off the road of students in the world, and destroying the road of learning...... is really a sinner through the ages, and the minister asks the saint to remove Lu Jing's fame and never hire him, so as to set an example. ”

Hearing the last few words, a cold light flashed in Lu Jing's eyes, this person actually wanted to put himself to death, and while greeting his ancestors in his heart, he was secretly vigilant, why would the other party use this reason to participate in himself, who was going to deal with him.

"Lu Jing, do you have anything to argue?" Emperor Yuanyong asked in a deep voice.

"Back to the emperor, Wechen has never mentioned any reform strategy, nor has he misinterpreted the words of the sage, the minister doesn't know how this imperial historian heard such gossip, so he put this matter on Weichen's head, if the minister really did these things, the scholars of the Hanlin Academy should have discovered it earlier, and they will never allow the minister to continue to stay in the Hanlin Academy!" Lu Jingshen replied calmly.

Emperor Yuanyong looked at the people in the Hanlin Academy, and Gao Tai, Zhang Chengliu and others hurriedly replied: "Back to the emperor, the minister has never heard of Lu Jing mentioning any reforms, nor have he heard of him slandering the saint. ”

Tang Zezhong saw that Lu Jing pulled out the people from the Hanlin Academy to testify for him, and said with a sneer: "What a shameless person, he dares to quibble in front of the saint, and the matter of initiating the saint and the minister's participation is not what Lu Jing did in the Hanlin Academy, but the evil deeds he did when he was in Yangzhou Qinglin Academy. ”

Hearing the four words of Qinglin Academy, Lu Jing became more and more sure in his heart that someone should be planning to deal with him, so he said excitedly: "I don't know what to call this imperial historian, I have never known you below, I really don't know what sinister intentions you have in making something out of nothing, and maliciously slandering you below." ”

"If you have evidence, even if you show it, why bother talking here in vain and delay the time for the Holy Lord to discuss state affairs with your lords!"

"Hmph, this official Tang Zezhong, although you don't know you, but you are extremely evil, this official is the imperial history, for the reader, naturally has the responsibility, for the Shilin to eliminate the scum, you don't have to say anything, the official will come up with evidence." Tang Zezhong sneered.

Then he took out five or six books from his arms, and presented them to Emperor Yuan Yong: "Back to the emperor, these books are evidence!" ”

Emperor Yuanyong asked people to pick up the book, opened it at random and looked at it, and he didn't know why, so he took out one of them and asked him to hand it to Lu Jing.

Lu Jing took the book with an unchanged face, and after only turning a few pages, he recognized that these four books were from Qinglin Academy, although there were no notes in the book, but punctuation was added throughout the book, and these punctuation marks were from his own hand.

Since he started learning ancient Chinese at the age of five, because he was not used to not punctuating the whole text, Lu Jing developed the habit of adding punctuation and breaking sentences casually.

Later, when he entered Qinglin Academy, Guo Xianzhi saw Lu Jing's book by chance and was very curious about the punctuation marks on it.

Lu Jing informed Guo Xianzhi of the use of punctuation marks and his reading habits.

After hearing this, Guo Xianzhi felt that punctuation marks had merit, so he introduced this method into teaching, and asked students to use this punctuation to practice sentence breaking.

Lu Jing was thirteen years old at the time, and he was a little excited to see punctuation being recognized by Guo Xianzhi, and at the same time inspired him to want to promote punctuation.

Then he consulted the ancient books and found that from ancient times to the present, there have been punctuation handed down, and there are dozens of kinds, but except for the full stop and reading number, these symbols are complicated and disorderly, and they are not systematic.

So he classified punctuation marks, and introduced modern punctuation to form a complete system, and then found Guo Xianzhi and suggested to him to add punctuation to classics such as Mengxue, Four Books and Five Classics, so as to simplify the difficulty of learning ancient Chinese and greatly speed up the learning progress of students.

But this suggestion was vetoed by Guo Xianzhi on the spot, and even persuaded Lu Jing not to mention this matter again in the future.

There are two main reasons, one is to cultivate the ability of readers to 'deviate from the scriptures and distinguish the aspirations', deviate from the scriptures, isolate the principles of the classics, and cut off their chapters and sentences. Discern the aspirations, discern their intentions and interests.

Books without punctuation can cultivate the reader's ability to think independently and understand the classics.

If it is added, the classics of the sages are endowed with personal understanding, and later scholars will inevitably be affected by it, which will destroy the road of learning.

The second is the ancient thought, the Wei, Jin, Sui and Tang dynasties often talk about the autumn and the two Han Dynasty. Song and Yuan also said that Wei, Jin, and Tang Dynasty. In terms of ideology and form, most of the scholarly works of later generations were based on the ancients.

In addition, punctuation and sentence breaking, it is a learning skill, no matter how high or low the knowledge is in Shilin, all of them are self-proclaiming, where they write books and pass on, they are elegant without commenting on knowledge, and they are adjacent to vulgar learning, which is despised by everyone.

After Lu Jing heard Guo Xianzhi's explanation, he gave up this idea, there were not many ancient disciplines, and they all relied on sentence breaking to cultivate logical analysis ability, and they could no longer introduce punctuation to restrict their thinking.

However, Guo Xianzhi believes that this punctuation is still useful, if in the learning process, in the same sentence, the difference is added to the sentence, can exercise the student's ability to deviate from the scriptures, so punctuation is introduced into teaching.

Lu Jing didn't expect that an unintentional move back then would now become an excuse for others to attack him, and after thinking about it for a while, he responded calmly: "Your Majesty, this book is not a book of ministers, and there is no annotation on it, and the ministers don't know where the accusations of Tang Yushi come from." ”

"If Tang Yushi just took out a few books casually and accused Weichen, the minister could also participate in his visit to Fireworks Willow Lane last night according to the poor spirit of Tang Yushi, and have fun all night."

Hearing Lu Jing's accusation, Dashang instantly burst into a few uncontrollable laughter, and everyone hurriedly held back their laughter, and couldn't stop looking Tang Zezhong up and down with curiosity or banter.

Tang Zezhong felt that everyone's eyes were full of strangeness, and his face turned red instantly, and he was furious: "You are presumptuous, you dare to slander this official and slander your official name!" ”

Seeing that Tang Zezhong was enraged, Lu Jing secretly smiled in his heart, and said loudly: "Lord Tang can use a few books casually, slander the following, and only make a slight guess, but Lord Tang disregarded his demeanor and roared so loudly in front of the saint, could it be that he was caught in his heart by what he said, and he wanted to pretend to be angry to cover up his weakness." ”

"You, you ......" Tang Zezhong was furious, turned his head to see that the emperor's face was unhappy, and hurriedly asked for sin: "The minister lost his honor in front of him, and asked the saint to forgive his sins, the saint, Lu Jing's blood spewed people, the minister was at home yesterday and did not ......"

Emperor Yuan Yong coldly reprimanded: "Enough, this is the place of the court discussion, if you have real evidence, you will come as soon as possible, if there is no real evidence, delay the court discussion, wanton slander, former loss of etiquette, several crimes and punishment, I will not spare it!" ”

Hearing that the emperor was a little impatient in his words, Tang Zezhong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister has solid evidence." ”

Seeing the emperor nodding, Tang Zezhong hurriedly turned to Lu Jing, and said with anger: "Shameless, since you don't dare to admit it, the official will tell you that these books are from Qinglin Academy, presumably this place, you should not be unfamiliar with it, right?" ”

Lu Jing nodded and said: "Qinglin Academy is the place where I studied when I was young, so I naturally know it, but I don't know how Lord Tang slandered him with this book?" ”

"Naturally, you!" Tang Zezhong didn't check for a while, he was almost fooled, he hurriedly stopped talking, and reprimanded angrily: "Clever words, this official won't talk nonsense with you anymore, the method of breaking sentences in the book, but what you mentioned?" ”

Lu Jing looked at his expression, did not deny it, nodded and said: "Yes, it is indeed when I was in my teens, I summarized the sentence reading of my predecessors." ”

Tang Zezhong was extremely disappointed when he saw Lu Jing admit this, so he had to take out the evidence that had been prepared for a long time, "Emperor Qi, this is the punctuation marks that the minister got from Qinglin Academy, according to the minister's understanding, these punctuation marks were all mentioned by Lu Jing, and the introduction of punctuation by Qinglin Academy was also advocated by Lu Jing. ”

"The classics are added, and then the scholars who study this method will shatter the avenue of learning, if they don't study, the talents will also be lost, and Lu Jing is really a sinner for the ages."

Lu Jing did not immediately defend himself, but continued to ask: "Leave this matter aside for the time being, I don't know what Lord Tang played, where to start with slandering the sage?" ”

Tang Zezhong saw that Lu Jing's expression was calm, and he did not refute it, he was secretly vigilant in his heart, and planned to advance layer by layer, step by step to confirm all Lu Jing's crimes, so he did not answer Lu Jing's question, but reported to Emperor Yuanyong: "Many students in Qinglin Academy have added broken sentences in their books, and even other academies in Yangzhou have effectively imitated them, which shows that the impact of this matter is getting bigger and bigger. ”

Emperor Yuan Yong asked in a deep voice, "Lu Jing, can you plead guilty?" ”
