Chapter 141: Truth, Goodness, and Beauty

"I see you really don't want to live, do you know what arson is?"

Zhang Yuan didn't want to admit it, but for the sake of the overall situation, he still admitted it.

If he doesn't admit this, Liu Che will definitely have to find a reason, where to find the reason?

Ghosts!

It's just that the ghosts and gods in the sky still helped Zhang Yuan, which is not a good thing.

"Capital offense."

"Since you know that it is a capital crime, do you dare to admit it?"

"The minister doesn't want to hide it from His Majesty, and besides, the minister has to do it as a last resort."

"If you don't set fire to those exam papers, the candidates and you will be safe, isn't it good?"

"The key minister really doesn't want those candidates to enter Taixue.

How can these people be cultivated? What are you doing, the first place in rumors!

wasting the resources of the Han Dynasty to cultivate some shady people, and the ministers would rather die.

If Your Majesty wants to find some people who only want to spread rumors, do you still need to learn too much?

Chang'an City casually brought 4,000 women, isn't it better than those Confucian scholars who would say? ”

That being said, this is certainly not the reason.

Don't want this batch of candidates just to stand for power, the reform must have labor pains, where there will be smooth reforms.

But Zhang Yuan can't say that, this kind of theoretical knowledge can be learned by others, but Liu Che can't be known.

Liu Che's weakness is theoretical thinking, otherwise he would not have reused Confucianism.

He had to find a reason for everything he had done.

Once Zhang Yuan said today, reform will inevitably be painful, what will be done in the future?

After Liu Che's personality has such a powerful theory, will he be condemned by himself?

Liu Ju's unjust death will be regarded as a labor pain by Liu Che.

"Then how did you set the fire without knowing it?"

After talking for a long time, it turned out that Liu Che was still most interested in this.

"Liu An, the king of Huainan, recruited people from the heavens to write books in Huainan, and when he was pondering papermaking earlier, he asked someone to get some ancient recipes recorded above.

The ancient recipe also recorded the method of using ice to ignite the fire, and after the minister learned yesterday that the rumors spread by Du County were promoted by someone with a heart, he thought clearly about the countermeasures, and was also determined to cut off the back road of these candidates.

But the minister would rather take the risk of being convicted than deceive His Majesty. ”

Your Majesty, do you understand this time, I, Zhang Yuan, don't dare to deceive you even if I die, you must always see a sincere heart.

Obviously, Liu Che didn't notice Zhang Yuan's loyalty, he was more concerned about how to light the fire when no one was around.

"So how do you do that? Someone has to watch the ice cubes, otherwise how can you make sure that nothing goes wrong? ”

...........

"Cutting the ice makes the circle, lifting it to the sun, and bearing its shadow with Ai, then the fire is born.

This is the original words of the ancient recipe, the minister made a large piece of ice, and then made it into a circle, let people lift some tiles on the roof of the side hall, and then put the ice cubes on it.

It happened to be noon, the sun was at its peak, and the ministers of the side hall got some tung oil and mugwort, so that the palace guards also made people adjust the angle before guarding the side hall.

After about half an hour, the fire was ignited.

Chen was not at the scene, but Chen estimated that the fire had already started, but it was not big enough, and the ice was still melting, so the fire was not too big at first, which made people outside find out after half an hour.

Later, when the fire became bigger, the side hall became hotter, and the ice on the roof melted quickly, so no one found out that this was the reason. ”

"This is the first time you've done this?"

"It's the first time for the minister."

"Then what if the Taixue side hall is not on fire, as you said, no one is watching.

Since you have made up your mind that there is no way out for this group of candidates, you will not take such a risk, and since you have done so, you must be completely sure. ”

"Your Majesty is talented, and the minister has indeed made two preparations.

The tiles on the side of the roof of the Taixue side hall near the street outside were also lifted.

The minister entrusted some reliable people, in case the Taixue side hall did not catch fire by the time, they would throw torches at the Taixue side hall from the side of the street.

Fortunately, the method of starting the fire with ice cubes was successful, otherwise the minister would have really harmed those people and made them bear the charge of arson. ”

"Even if you are smart in this matter, don't think I'm too stupid, in fact, I know everything in my heart, it's to see if you're honest or not."

Why are you asking so carefully when you know everything?

Zhang Yuan really despised Liu Che in his heart all the time today.

"Then Your Majesty, you see that the ministers have put cruel words in Taixue, if this is changed overnight, won't it make your face dull."

"This matter is up to you, I don't mind delaying Taixue for a year, so that the Confucian students of the world know my attitude.

When you go back, add a clause to the official school charter.

Taixue official school is a place of learning, and must not be involved in other battles, if a student recidivists, it will be handed over to the local government for trial according to the law. ”

Zhang Yuan nodded, feeling relieved, today's troubles are finally over.

"Your Majesty is wise, and you will do so when you go back.

Your Majesty doesn't have to worry that the development of Taixue will be delayed for a year, and the minister will find a way to make up for this year after he returns. ”

Liu Che nodded, after venting his anger, his body would be tired and empty, but now Liu Che had regained some of his spirit.

He now feels that Zhang Yuan is not only suitable for farming, but also can be an official.

"Since I have delegated power to you, I will trust you unreservedly, and if you let it go, I will clear the obstacles for you."

Hehe.

"Thank Your Majesty for your trust, and the minister will have no reservations, do his best, and die with all his might, and live up to His Majesty's trust!"

Hehe.

Whoever takes these two sentences seriously is a fool.

Liu Che and Zhang Yuan both understand that it is enough to say these words to move others and move them, as long as they know it in their hearts.

Those Youling and Huangmen who were still kneeling on the ground were stupid.

Why didn't Liu Che kill Zhang Yuan?

These two masters reconciled so quickly, and this mutual appearance is really touching.

But we have just been bearing the wrath of His Majesty, and those beatings have not been in vain?

Liu Che and Zhang Yuan don't care what these subordinates think, so if they are wronged, they will be wronged.

"I won't delay your time, it's probably a mess in Taixue.

You hurry up and go back to sort out the affairs of Taixue, as long as you ensure that Taixue is not messed up, you can fix your love as much as you want. ”

"The minister is now retiring."

The entourage of Jianzhang Palace can be described as very smooth.

not only exempted him from all the guilt, but also made Liu Che satisfied with himself, as for trust, it is really a mouthful, not true.

After tossing all day, it was already night when Zhang Yuan returned to Du County.

Zhang Yuanzheng was thinking about returning to Taixue directly, and then quickly sorted out everything, but he heard some rumors on the way.

"Have you heard, the Son of Heaven is really angry, Taixue ordered Zhang Yuan to go to Chang'an, and it is estimated that there will be no return."

"Originally, the Taixue side hall was on fire, and the exam papers of those candidates were burned, according to Zhang Yuan, who was ordered by Taixue, those candidates would not be able to come to Taixue this year or even in the future.

But in the afternoon, those candidates were all happy, thinking that Zhang Yuan might be finished with Taixueling, and they also felt that what Taixueling said before was probably not counted.

At night, our restaurants and inns in Du County are full, and even many families have added tables, and I heard that they are celebrating this event. ”

"Hey, our Du County can have today, in fact, this Taixue Ling has made a lot of effort behind the scenes.

He also helped many inns and restaurants, who would have thought that he would end up like this. ”

"Therefore, people can't be too high-profile, and they can live well by being appropriately low-key.

Now the way in this world is that good people can't live, and bad people are in charge. ”

Thanks to the fact that it was night, Zhang Yuan was worried that he would knock down pedestrians on the road while riding a horse, otherwise he really didn't know what the people of Du County said about him.

And now it seems that this batch of candidates is really right not to stay.

One by one, like a long-tongued woman, they also held a feast to celebrate their end.

Zhang Yuan originally wanted to sort things out today, but now it seems that wouldn't it be better to let these candidates have a comfortable night of carnival.

Alas, some people are always so kind, they are obviously enemies, and they are still thinking about the enemy.
