Chapter 646: Zhao Dan's Response (First Update)
The movement of the Huaxia Academy Palace was noticed by the supervision guard almost immediately.
In fact, due to the importance of the Huaxia Academy, this place is not in charge of the city guard of Handan, but by the central army and the supervision and guard, which are the two major forces of light and dark, are responsible for protecting the security.
So soon, Mao Sui sent this urgent report to Zhao Dan's desk.
"Shizi helped the prince of Chu to petition?" Zhao Dan saw this urgent report, and his brows immediately furrowed.
Interesting.
It's very interesting.
Although I don't know how this prince of Chu State won the support of these scholars, one thing is very obvious is that this prince of Chu State, who has never been summoned by Zhao Dan, has learned to use the public opinion of the school palace to put pressure on Zhao Dan.
Zhao Dan closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said to Mao Sui in front of him: "What is the current situation, how many scholars are there who participated in the petition?" ”
Mao Sui said: "Back to the king, now the scholars are excited, and they are sit-in at the gate of the Huaxia Academy to petition, and they are all shouting slogans, roughly speaking, the number should be more than two thousand." ”
"Two thousand?" After Zhao Dan heard this, his face was a little complicated.
You must know that there are only more than 3,000 students in the Huaxia Academy today, which means that almost half of the students in the Huaxia Academy have participated in this petition.
This means one thing, that is, there must be some force in the Huaxia Academy that is secretly controlling all this, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible for this kind of activity to form such a huge momentum in a short period of time.
Zhao Dan pondered for a while, and suddenly said, "Who has the prince of Chu seen these days?" ”
For protons like the prince of Chu State, usually speaking, Zhao State will send guards to spy on them secretly, on the one hand, to ensure that they will not mess around inside Zhao State, and on the other hand, to ensure the safety of these protons.
If these protons died in Handan, it would be a big blow to Zhao's diplomatic prestige, and it might even lead to a war, just like the then prince of Qin died in Daliang City a few years ago.
Mao Sui thought for a while and said to Zhao Dan: "Back to the king, according to the information of the supervising guard, this prince of Chu should have gone to visit the Xun Guo Great Sacrifice Wine last night, and after waiting outside the door of the Xun State Great Sacrifice Wine for a long time, he was summoned by the Xun State Great Sacrifice Wine. ”
"Xun situation?" Zhao Dan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then the whole person showed a clear expression: "I see, the widow understands." ”
It is already very obvious that in this petition activity, there must be Confucianism secretly fueling the trouble.
What does Confucianism want to do?
Zhao Dan only took a few seconds before making a conclusion: "It seems that Confucianism is dissatisfied with the fact that the widows introduced their sworn enemy Mo Jia into the Huaxia Academy a while ago, and now they are ready to bet on both ends." ”
Since the establishment of the Huaxia Academy, under the convening of Xun Jing, most of the Confucian scholars who were originally located in Qi and Lu have come to the Huaxia Academy and become the guest secretary of Zhao.
But judging from the current situation, it is clear that Confucianism is no longer satisfied with just standing in the Zhao State and the Huaxia Academy, but wants to go out and gain the right to govern and speak in more countries.
After figuring out what happened, Zhao Dan's whole person began to become relaxed.
This was actually a premeditated action, not a spontaneous action of the students who suddenly erupted.
You must know that most of the students in the Huaxia Academy are from Zhao State, and Zhao Dan is also ready to gradually arrange them to various parts of Zhao State after these students have achieved academic success, and slowly start from the grassroots officials, step by step to become the representative of the grassroots officials of Zhao State in the future.
In other words, these students in the Huaxia Academy are likely to become the backbone of Zhao State's officialdom in the future.
If these people suddenly feel that something must be done at the same time, then it will form a very powerful force that even the king will be cautious.
I think that such a force can only be in the hands of the king, and it must not be in the hands of any force other than the king, otherwise it will form a huge challenge to the royal power of the Zhao State.
"Confucianism, Confucianism, what a Confucian!" Zhao Dan snorted softly, then stood up from the chair and said to Mao Sui: "You will go and arrange the car immediately, and the widow will go to the Huaxia Academy Palace to meet these students." ”
Mao Sui was taken aback, and hurriedly said to Zhao Dan: "King, this student's petition is mixed with dragons and snakes, should the king consider it carefully?" ”
Zhao Dan shook his head and said, "You go to Xu Li first, and let him send the Yulin Army to clear the field." ”
Regardless, meeting is a must. Now that the students have made a request, the official Zhao State still has to respond.
In fact, it may not necessarily be Zhao Dan to come forward, but this situation has never appeared in history, and Zhao Dan feels that no one except himself can cope with such a situation.
Although today's Huaxia Academy is still only an academic place, it is precisely because of its bias towards academics and its position that it does not interfere much in politics that it has become more transcendent.
If Zhao Dan refuses to respond, it will actually have a certain negative impact on Zhao Dan himself and Zhao Guo's reputation.
The most important thing is that if Zhao Dan really refuses to come forward, wouldn't it be equivalent to pushing these students to those who are secretly making trouble?
In this era, every guy who can read and write can be called a talent, not to mention the thousands of scholars in the Huaxia Academy who read every day.
Thinking of this, Zhao Dan said to Mao Sui in front of him again: "Mao Sui, the widow has given you a task." You immediately went to investigate which guys were the first to join the side of the prince of Chu at the beginning, and then made a list of the leaders of these guys and sent them to the widow. It's going to be done as soon as possible, understand? ”
Mao then agreed.
"Alright." Zhao Dan stretched hard and said with a smile: "I thought that I would be able to live a more leisurely life for a while after the armistice, but some people are really unwilling to let the widow be idle...... Well, let the widow go and see what these guys want to do. ”
A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Dan's royal guard of honor drove out of the palace city and drove towards the Huaxia Academy Palace, which was located between the palace city of Zhao and Guocheng.
