Soon, the replies of Han and Wei were transmitted back to Handan.

Both countries chose to promise a temporary truce and hold peace talks with Chu.

To be honest, South Korea's promise of an armistice was indeed expected by Zhao Dan, but Wei also agreed to an armistice, which surprised Zhao Dan and the ministers of Zhao State.

You must know what the high-spirited envoy said in front of Wei Wangyu, Zhao Dan had read the script in advance, and even expressed his personal opinion to help polish the lines.

Can't you make this Wei Wangyu angry?

"Could it be that this Wei Wangyu has fully comprehended the essence of the ninja magic skills after being hit by the widows one after another, and has cultivated into the legendary Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?" Zhao Dan secretly wondered in his heart.

But in any case, since Wei also chose to cease fighting, Zhao Dan's goal was naturally achieved, so Zhao Dan waved his hand very happily and terminated the grounding of the crown prince of Chu in advance.

Yes, grounded, this is the ultimate punishment for the crown prince of Chu.

Regarding this point, Zhao Dan is actually a little helpless.

After all, the identity of the prince of Chu is still relatively sensitive, although Zhao Dan does not take Chu too seriously, but considering that he may use Chu to contain Korea and Wei from the south in the future, he still saves a little face.

As for those troublemakers, Zhao Danke was not so polite.

Under the joint command of Yu Xin and Mao Sui, the two major departments of Si Kou and Supervision and Health immediately operated very efficiently, and it took half a month to determine a list of 97 people.

These ninety-seven people basically belong to those who take the lead in making trouble.

Of these 97 people, 68 were Confucian students.

This made Zhao Dan quite surprised.

Because in Zhao Dan's mind, this number should be around twenty to thirty to be more reasonable.

It can only be said that the enthusiasm of these student parties to make things really unexpected Zhao Dan.

But it's actually very reasonable to think about it, after all, students have never been out of society, and they still retain innocence and enthusiasm in their hearts, as long as they are slightly incited, they can make this kind of passionate passion burst out.

This is a double-edged sword, and from the current point of view, this double-edged sword is obviously not very beneficial to Zhao Dan and Zhao Guo.

Zhao Dan was a little hesitant.

Although Zhao Dan has made up his mind and wants to punish him severely, the number of ninety-seven people is still too much, what if the whole thing goes sour?

Zhao Dan didn't want the Literary Prison to appear in the land of China so early.

Although from the king's point of view, it is necessary to control the mind, after all, it is impossible to allow some guy who shouts "the prince will have a kind of Xiangning" every day to promote his ideas in Zhao State, right?

However, if the ideological confinement is too severe, then there may be a situation like the Ming and Qing dynasties in China, which will make the entire intellectual world lifeless, and the literati will basically become the echoes and lackeys of the kings.

The mastery of this degree is really a bit difficult to choose.

It was precisely because of this hesitation that even though Mao Sui and Yu Xin were in the purpose of making meritorious contributions to persuade Zhao Dan to make a punishment decision as soon as possible, Zhao Dan still kept this list.

It wasn't until a few days later that a sudden event occurred that changed all that.

The big sacrifice of Handan School Palace, Jiu Xun Qian, entered the palace and asked to see Zhao Dan.

"The minister has seen the king." Xun Jing saluted Zhao Dan respectfully.

Zhao Dan nodded slightly, his eyes looked up and down at Xun Quan in front of him, obviously this great sacrificial wine had not had a good time in the past, which could be seen from the white hair on Xun Kuo's head.

You must know that Xun Guo should only be fifty-eight years old this year, and the last time Zhao Dan saw Xun Jing at the New Year's Day dinner, some of his sideburns were black, and they became completely white in less than a month, which is enough to prove how heavy the pressure he is under.

For this famous Xunzi, Zhao Dan was somewhat helpless in his heart.

If you do a good job, you can be famous for all eternity, so why do you have to get involved in this kind of thing?

"Xun Qing doesn't have to be polite, please sit down."

For this Xunzi, Zhao Dan still respects him very much.

In any case, this Confucian scholar is absolutely first-class in the world, and he has also cultivated two talents, Li Si and Han Fei, which is enough to prove that his apprenticeship ability is also extremely strong.

As for these seemingly slightly immature and clumsy methods of officialdom...... It can only be said that people are not perfect.

I have to say that compared with the Confucian scholars and doctors who are mature enough to be able to confront the emperor in later generations, these current Confucian scholars have not evolved to that extent after all, and the way and method of playing tricks are far inferior to their own descendants.

Of course, this is also understandable, after all, there is no environment for Confucianism to sharpen and cultivate itself.

In fact, after Dong Zhongshu, the scholars and doctors struggled for hundreds of thousands of years, and also struggled with the kings for so many years before finally evolving to the point where they were able to compete with the imperial power in the Song and Ming dynasties.

After Xun Qing sat down, Zhao Dan smiled at Xun Qing: "I don't know what happened when Xun Qing came to see the widow today?" ”

Xun Jing sighed softly and said to Zhao Dan: "The old minister came here today, in fact, he hoped that the king would be able to forgive the ninety-seven students of the Huaxia Academy. ”

I have to say that Yu Xin and Mao Sui's style of doing things is quite straightforward, after these two people determined the list, they directly arrested all the people on the list without saying a word and put them in the prison of the supervision guard.

Although in view of the identities of these students, they actually couldn't stand many grievances in prison, but this incident still shook the entire Huaxia Academy and even Handan City.

There was a lot of talk about it, and many even asserted that the next time the students would get out of prison would be when they went to the market gate.

All this made the entire Huaxia Academy fall into an atmosphere of panic, especially the Confucians, who accounted for more than two-thirds of the number of arrested students, were even more frightened.

As the leader of the Huaxia Academy of Confucianism, Xun was naturally pushed out and became the solver of this problem.

Zhao Dan looked at Xun in front of him, couldn't help but sigh softly, and said, "Xun Qing, you should know the charges of these students very well, right?" ”

In order to appease people's hearts, Zhao Dan informed Yu Xin and Mao Sui at the beginning, and asked them to publish the charges and facts of these guys together.

Xun Jing nodded and said, "The list posted by the king has actually been read by the old minister. It's just that the old minister thinks that these students are young and enthusiastic after all, and it is understandable, and he asks the king to see that they are still ignorant......"

When Zhao Dan heard this, the anger in his heart finally couldn't be suppressed, and he finally couldn't help but interrupt Xun Qing's words, and said, "What, does Xun Qing really think that just a young and ignorant person can clean up what they have done?" ”

"The widow wants to ask Xun Qing, these guys gathered together in a vain attempt to use public opinion to influence the decision of the widow, what does Xun Qing think about this?"

Xun Jing's face froze, and he said, "This ......"

Zhao Dan snorted and sneered: "If the widow agrees to them this time, does Xun Qing think there will be a next time?" If there is a next time, will there be a next time? If every time a few thousand students gather together, the huge Zhao State can act because of the will of these students, but the widow wants to ask Xun Qing, is it the widow who is in charge of this country, or these students of the Huaxia Academy? ”

This sentence is an out-and-out heart-wrenching statement.

Even if you are a Confucian power, Xun Guo was asked by Zhao Dan's fierce questioning, and he had nothing to say.

How can you say that Xun Guo said that this time the trouble in the Huaxia Academy was launched by Confucianism, and it was a small test to try to compete for power with the king?

If that's really the case, then Confucianism shouldn't be mixed up in Zhao State, and the teachers and students of Ma Yu should pack up and leave together.

No, maybe you won't be able to leave, and you'll be arrested directly by the big guy.

Zhao Dan looked at Xun Qian, who had nothing to say, and a trace of doubt quietly came to his heart.

Originally, I thought that the main messenger behind this matter was Xun Qian, but now it doesn't seem to look like it.

If it was really Xun Kuang and other Confucian scholars who came up with this idea, then at least one self-justification could always be said anyway, right?

But look at Xun Qian's speechless appearance now......

Could it be that there is someone else behind the scenes?

Zhao Dan's brain began to run wildly.

If that's the case, then this thing is interesting!

Does anyone want to covet the power of the widow?

As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Dan's whole heart suddenly stabilized, and all the entanglements and hesitations were gone.

The next moment, Zhao Dan said in a deep voice: "Xun Qing, the crimes of these students have been decided, and they will be handed over to Si Kou in accordance with the law, and they will be sentenced how they should be sentenced, and the widows will not interfere!" The widow also hopes that the Huaxia Academy can learn a lesson and be able to do a good job of learning, as for things that have nothing to do with learning, it is better not to participate in the academy in the future. ”

Xun Kuang's body was shocked after hearing Zhao Dan's words, you must know that the attack is to hope that Zhao Dan can be extrajudicial and gracious, and now Zhao Dan has indicated that he will do things according to the law, doesn't this mean that those students are all finished?

You must know that according to the laws of Zhao State, more than a dozen main criminals led by these students are directly beheaded, and the remaining dozens of accomplices are inevitably sent to the north to repair the Great Wall, which can be said to be very severe.

After a pause, Zhao Dan said earnestly to Xun Qing in front of him: "Xun Qing, the widow respects you very much, both before and now, so the widow is here today to talk to Xun Qing." Does Xun Qing want to become a famous thinker in history in a hundred years, or a failed politician? ”

After Zhao Dan finished saying this, he looked at Xun Qian, who seemed to be about to become a clay statue in front of him, and said sincerely: "That's all the words of the widow, please think about it yourself." ”
