Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Tianjing Chapter 97 One Kneel and Three Bows (2)
In Dahan, everyone knows that the most unprovoked person is neither the bandits and thieves who gather in the mountains and forests, nor the landlords and old fortunes in the township, but the scholars who have made a name for themselves.
First, Emperor Gaozu respected scholars, so he promised scholars who were famous and famous, and when the imperial court did not grant official positions or did not officially take office, they could not worship Shangguan and even the six Shangshu, so all over the world, those who can afford to worship the new scholars are nothing more than the emperor.
Second, most of the new scholars are young and vigorous, and they can't rub a little sand in their eyes when they only read the books of the sages, and when they see the injustice in the world, they have to uphold justice in order to live happily.
These two rules undoubtedly gave the new scholars great privileges, and this group of young and vigorous young people often did something out of the ordinary. Therefore, within the Han Dynasty, from the imperial city to the countryside, everyone knows that new scholars and scholars with meritorious names cannot be provoked.
Today, Liu Po and others came to the coffin. Several of them are all real new scientists, and they are all filled with righteous indignation, although the old ministers of the court and the central government have not seen them, but they seem to be able to imagine them. When Sun Qianying ran all the way back to the Daming Hall and said that Wan Kefa had persuaded the young men to retreat, Chao Chinese Wu and even Emperor Xu De were a little surprised.
"You said that Wan Shangshu just used a few words to send those scholars away? What about Liu Guang's coffin, will it stop outside the imperial city? ”
"Back to the emperor." Sun Qianying didn't exercise much, but when she ran this trip at the moment, she was out of breath, and she didn't come to her senses at this time, and said, "That's ...... That Lord Liu's ...... The coffin has been ...... has been carried by his family...... Carried back. ”
The emperor was even more puzzled, he looked at Xu De's seemingly calm eyes, and didn't know if Xu De knew the mystery, so he asked again: "Since you have already sent those people, why didn't Wan Shangshu come back with you." ”
Sun Qianying gasped for breath a few times, finally stabilized his breathing, and said, "Wan Shangshu said that he will give an explanation to Liu Po about Lord Liu." However, today's matter can't be counted like this, and they have to see how you want to deal with the matter of inciting the people and knocking on the coffin. ”
Wan Zong originally lowered his head in the crowd, he was not as radical as Ma Daoyuan, he also knew that his uncle was afraid that there was something unspeakable, and at this moment, after listening to Sun Qianying's words, he secretly gave a thumbs up in his heart - Wan Ke Fa is still Wan Ke Fa, it has not changed.
Xu De listened to Sun Qianying's treatment of Wan Ke Fa, and also nodded secretly, being able to level a bowl of water like this, Wan Ke Fa has not been in this court for decades in vain.
However, because of such a fair handling of the Wan Ke Law, it made it difficult for the emperor. If the punishment is light, there will be such things in the future, isn't this a slap in the face of his emperor? But if it is dealt with heavily, it will not only violate Emperor Gaozu's teachings, but also damage the emperor's own face.
The emperor wanted to ask, but he glanced at it slightly, and none of the courtiers below wanted to come out to speak, and if the emperor asked, I am afraid it would only be more embarrassing.
Seeing such a scene, Xu De came out of the queue and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that although today's things are loyal, they are not in accordance with the rules of etiquette after all. The minister thought that he would be punished, but he could not be punished heavily, since they all already had official bodies, there was no problem with playing a twenty board in front of the noon gate. ”
As soon as these words came out, it was rare in the court, no one came out to echo or refute, and everyone thought about it, and they all felt that Xu De's handling was good.
The emperor thought about it carefully, and he himself couldn't think of a better punishment, gritted his teeth, and said: "Then according to what the prince said, Sun Qianying, pass on my message, the scholars who are making trouble today are not in accordance with the law of etiquette, and they should be severely punished, but this dynasty has always governed the country with loyalty and righteousness, and they also have good thoughts in their hearts, and they are the first offenders, and one person has twenty boards." ”
Sun Qianying was still cramping in his stomach at the moment, but when he heard the emperor's order, he didn't dare to delay any longer, turned around and ran out. And just when he went out, Qin Sanxuan passed by him, Sun Qianying was busy on the way, but he still saluted and said hello, but Qin Sanxuan had a dark face, as if he couldn't see him, and ignored him. Sun Qianying didn't pay attention to him and ran away.
"Minister Qin Sanxuan knocked to see the emperor." Qin Sanxuan went to the hall to salute.
When the emperor saw Sun Qianying, he returned to Qin Sanxuan and asked, "Why did Qin Shangshu come back first?" ”
"Wan Shangshu is upright and fair, and there is no need for Weichen to point fingers."
Xu De knew that Qin Sanxuan's heart was small-minded, and he would repay it. Seeing his face at this moment, he knew that there must be a thorn-like character among the new scientists, and Qin Sanxuan must have fallen behind to behave like this.
"It just so happens that Sun Qianying came and went in a hurry just now, Qin Shangshu, tell me how Wan Shangshu sent those scholars."
Qin Sanxuan's long and narrow eyes suddenly flashed with a vicious brilliance, and he spoke: "Without him, Wan Shangshu just knelt down and bowed three times to the coffin, and the group of scholars were discouraged and didn't dare to go any further." ”
"A kneel? Three bows? The Emperor asked repeatedly, unable to believe his ears.
"That's right." Qin Sanxuan's face was calm.
The originally dead and silent court boiled in an instant, everyone knows the righteousness of the universal law, for the face of the court, has it been sacrificed so far? When Xu De heard this, although he didn't speak, he was secretly thinking about the meaning of the action of the universal law.
Xu De thought carefully about several possibilities, but he didn't think it would be the path that Wan Kefa wanted to take, so he simply stopped thinking about it, anyway, Feng Tianshou must have his opinion on today's matter.
Xu De turned his head slightly and glanced at Wu Dakai, only to see Wu Dakai hanging his head and not seeing his eyes clearly.
Xu De laughed at himself in his heart: Xu De, Xu De, look, who are you looking for!
