Seeing that line of poetry, Xiao Gan was silent for a moment, and read in a low voice: "How many people have been forgotten after enjoying their prestige, and how many people have passed away after praising the prestige of others. He subconsciously said this sentence in the language of the big food, glanced at the servant in the study, and then said it in Chinese.

Chao Buzhi's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but recall the years when he was in the Xia Kingdom's Bachelor's Mansion, Xia Kingdom, like the Song Kingdom, was a common Chinese language in China, because it was mostly taken from Guanzhong Qin Sheng, and the Hu people were also called Qin language, in order to show that it was different from Guandong Luoyin. However, in the three academic houses of Dunhuang, Chang'an and Chengdu, there are many cultural relics and classics from the Central Plains, Persia, Dashi, Lumei, Tianzhu and other places, and only the most essential part of the world's classics has been translated into Chinese characters. The debates and arguments of the three or five classmates are often mixed with the side references of many languages.

A solemn atmosphere enveloped the study, and Xiao Gan sighed and said in a low voice: "Mr. Zizhan has passed away. ”

"What?" Chao Buzhi said in a lost voice, and the tea cup in his hand clattered on the table, and the tea overflowed, soaking the Naqin Ci calligraphy.

"Three days ago, Mr. talked with Elder Foyin about the great victory in Hebei, laughed loudly, and the clinker was very happy and sad, so he passed away at the age of eighty-five."

If an ordinary person dies, the news will spread from Shuzhong to Bianjing, at least for more than a month. However, at that time, the Shu State used a special fast pigeon for the urgent military aircraft to travel day and night, and transmitted the news of the funeral to the royal family of the Xia Kingdom and the three major bachelors, and the local officials who received the news everywhere also coincidentally imitated the practice of the emperor's death, and added a sentence "Mr. Zizhan passed away" after almost all the military aircraft messages. "Some of them are described in some detail. For example, after his death, he was extremely grieved, and the city of Chengdu was full of plain white, the royal family of Shuzhong, the prime minister, the general, and the important ministers of the two prefectures all mourned in person. Therefore, in just three days, Xiao He got the news, earlier than the Chao family, who had an in-law relationship with the Su family.

Chao Buzhi suddenly lost it, and after a long time, he sighed: "The teacher advocates loyalty and generous punishment, and there is no doubt about the guilt, and the innocent are released, and countless floating slaughters are victorious, and they will be reborn in the Pure Land of Bliss." ”

The criminal name law of the Xia State is divided into the three major schools in the Qin and Shu rivers, not completely depending on the place of origin, the implementation of the same law, the Qin officials are strict, the Shu officials are lenient and simple, and the river officials follow them. When the country was founded, the law was sloppy, but there was nothing, but later, as the legal net became tighter, more and more innocent people were imprisoned and convicted because there was no conclusive evidence. Mr. Zizhan advocated loyalty and reward all his life, and there was no doubt about the crime, which first spread in Shu, and gradually became more and more influential, and was set as the criterion for judging cases by the two governments and the emperor 20 years ago, I don't know how many people were saved from grievances, and how many innocent lives were saved.

Xiao Gan and Chao Buyi were silent for a long time, and said slowly: "Mr. Zizhan has passed away, if Brother Wujiao wants to go to Shu to mourn......

Chao Buzhi glanced at him and said in a low voice: "Don't bother Brother Xiao, the teacher has always been informal, just set up a spiritual seat in the house and sacrifice it remotely." His heart ached, and he picked up the tea, but he didn't notice that the bowl was empty.

Xiao Gan saw that the host had no intention of entertaining guests, so he said goodbye and left, and looked back at Chao Bu when he left, but he didn't get up to send him off, but just sat in the same place with the tea bowl in his hand.

In the Accord on the third floor of the Gong Building, the scholars of the Science Society are placing wine for Zhao Xingde to wash the dust. There is a splashed ink inscription on the shadow wall of the Accord: "The beauty sings and dances and the youth tour, and the drunken Gonglou is drunk in the middle of the night." The East has not been exhausted, and the wine is like a knife and sorrowful. It is said that forty-seven people of the former imperial examination feasted here, and there were eighteen high school jinshi, and the eighteen jinshi revisited the hometown, and happily wrote this poem, and the shop carefully framed it on the wall with embroidered yarn. The Science Society deliberately chose this attic as a place for banquets and drinks, and it was also to find a good fortune for the autumn season in August.

At this time, in addition to Chen Dong, Zhang Bing, Deng Su and other old people, there were many new people who came to Beijing to take the exam, and the momentum soared, and the number of scholars who joined the society actually reached more than 800 people, such as Cao Liangshi, the son of Jinghu South Road, Ao Taosun and Wen Xunzhi of Fujian Road, Xu Rubi and Wu Xingzong of Guangnan East Road, Wang Yingshu of Jingdong East Road, Chen Gongju and Zhang Yanling of Huainan East Road, and Hou Xiongfei of Jiangnan East Road. These people have long heard of Zhao Xingde's name, and they are scheming in their hearts, and they can get the joint name of Yang Fuzi, the prince of the country, and Qin Zhongcheng, the imperial historian, and the official family personally instructed the Privy Council to deliberately transfer back from the Hebei army to participate in the autumn festival. In addition to envy, he couldn't help but be interested in befriending Zhao Xingde.

Listening to Zhao Xingde's story about the collapse of the camp in Hebei overnight, the collapse of the 100,000 army, after which the Liao army plundered the people everywhere, burned down the villages, and encountered the flooding of the river, the pastorality turned into a country, the flood receded all over the wilderness, and hundreds of miles were barren after the catastrophe, and everyone sighed in unison.

Hou Xiongfei of Jiangnan East Road sighed: "I only heard that Wang Shi restored Hebei, and the clinker was tortuous, which made people break their liver and intestines."

Chen Gongju of the home on Huainan East Road shook his head, but said: "Don't say that Hebei, that is, in the southeast town, originally commensurate with wealth, prosperity of all industries, between the frame, after the two evil laws of competing for land came out, the officials urged them to force them, and the weak and small shops closed down one after another. Last year's natural disaster, the imperial court did not reduce taxes, poor households may be forced to urge, their homes are lost, their wives are separated, and they often mourn in the Tao. Even those who fled their hometowns and became homeless, or those who hanged themselves in their rooms, were no less miserable than the Liao people entering the prison. ”

Zhang Yanling of Huainan continued: "If the imperial court adheres to the way of Huang Lao, it is better to rule the world by doing nothing. Nowadays, every time the law changes, the local government will set up a name, and there is an additional way to exploit the people, not to mention the promotion of small people, even if it is a large squire in Anfen, he can't afford it. ”

After sighing for a while, Zhao Xingde continued to tell about Hebei, Zhao Xingde talked about tens of thousands of remnants of the Yellow River wharf, Han Shizhong and other generals reflexively killed the Liao soldiers, and when they returned to defend the river, they all beat the festival and praised, shouted and drunk, and talked about Tong Guan abandoning the army, taking the night sea boat, and avoiding the enemy at sea from then on, everyone scolded angrily.

"Such a traitor, if you really die, it is not enough to excuse your crime!" Chen Dong patted the case and said, his eyes widened angrily, "Yuan Zhi, you don't know, but Jingshi's statement is different, then Liu Yanqing and Tong Guan have expressed their gratitude, but they have put the blame for the collapse of the army on the prince, and the national disaster is at the head, but this group of people is trying to shake the East Palace in vain, which is simply intolerable!" ”

Although the crown prince Zhao Ke also defended himself, how could he not say clearly, Prime Minister Cai Jing secretly added fuel to the fire, and the East Palace Yi Chu seems to have become the general trend, and well-informed people like Chen Dong vaguely know that the third prince Zhao Qi will participate in the autumn festival in August anonymously, just waiting for him to be the best in the world, which is the time when the East Palace changes hands. Many scholars who entered Beijing to take the exam, there are more people who talk about this matter, just think about the actions of the states, that is not the person whose eyes are above the top, no one can win the champion in this department, and nine out of ten can not be convinced, but there is nothing to be done.

For a while, all the scholars in the science society scolded angrily, and even Zhu Sen, who was usually the most old-fashioned and respectful, frowned and sighed: "Ridiculous, ridiculous." "He is the son of Zhu Bernard, the envoy of the Wukang Army, although he is low-key, but he knows a lot of palace movements, His Majesty is a nostalgic person, suspicious and suspicious, seeing that the overall situation is stable, Tong Guan and daily expressions of affection, he was actually moved, and intended to transfer him back to Beijing to serve as the commander of the guard Ma Dujun.

"The people of the world, the people of the world, Your Majesty is so favoritistic in rewarding and punishing, how can you convince the people of the world." A deviant thought suddenly flashed in his heart, Zhu Sen's face changed slightly, and he raised his wine glass and took a sip.

Chen Dong said in a deep voice: "The traitor is writing every day to express his feelings, I heard that the official family seems to be intent on moving, and the Privy Council is also rumoring that the child thief will be transferred back to Sanya to take charge of the forbidden army in the near future." ”

"How unreasonable!" Zhang Bing patted the case and said, "Abandon the army, lose the division and land, and if you don't punish it, the national law is gone, how can you rule the world!" ”

Deng Su had a gloomy face, the master Qin Hui recently sighed late night, the traitors used this to shake the country, the battle of the East Palace is the most important part of the party struggle, if Your Majesty is really easy to store, Deputy Minister Zhao Zhifu, together with the Zhao Party, either automatically retired, or was reprimanded, although the teacher is Jane in the emperor's heart, but the so-called public mouth, if people have no party, it is difficult to be independent of the court, this truth, the teacher has repeatedly ordered him.

"Your Majesty is just deceived by treachery," Chen Dong pondered for a long time, took a sip of wine, and said in a muffled voice. Everyone knew that this was nothing but self-deception, and they all fell silent. The little guy who bought the wine and the prostitute who played the song didn't know why, they looked at each other and didn't dare to make a sound. The building was full of singing and laughing, and suddenly became a dead silence, and the atmosphere suddenly became depressed and dignified.

For a long time, Cao Liangshi of Jinghu South Road suddenly sighed: "Fan Wenzheng once said, scholars and doctors, the worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world. After speaking, he threw the wine glass on the ground, stood up, looked at the scholars and shouted: "The so-called ice and charcoal can't be in the same furnace, can you prepare to try to ascend to the first place in the province with peace of mind, and live with such a traitor as a child thief?" ”

Although he spoke with a thick accent, his words were sonorous and powerful, and everyone looked at each other, Deng Su said in a deep voice: "I heard that the important ministers of the Qingliu Dynasty have repeatedly played the impeachment of Tong Guan traitors, but they have all been suppressed by Cai Gongxiang. ”

"Traitor!" I don't know who scolded again.

Zhang Bing said in a deep voice: "The traitor is arrogant, the party is full of people, taking advantage of the autumn of today, the world's scholars gather in Bianjing, everyone is running around to contact, and jointly write to Your Majesty, please behead this abandoned army, lost his teacher and lost his land, let the world know that my Great Song Dynasty is not unpopular." What do you think? ”

Chen Dongyuan was an impulsive character, and immediately praised the case: "Good! ”

"This, that seems too intense, doesn't it?" Deng Su groaned.

Zhang Bing said: "This dynasty does not prohibit scholars from writing and saying things, and does not scold people with words, but it is a precedent of the ancestors' family law. Why not? The government is corrupted, millions of soldiers and civilians have fallen into fire and water, but the worst people have not been punished, where is the national law? Where is justice? How can you be afraid of the arrogance of the traitorous party? I can't be willing to be this blind man with open eyes and deaf ears for the sake of self-preservation! Don't fight for the future, be a white body in your life, and be inseparable from traitors! ”

"Yes, where is the law of the land!" "Where is justice?"

Deng Su was speechless when asked, remembering that there were many scholars in this dynasty, and it was not uncommon for words to be very intense, so he stopped making a sound. Even if there are people like him among the scholars who feel that it is inappropriate, they are under the prohibition of the situation, and it is difficult to speak out against them.

Everyone stopped arguing, and they stopped drinking this wine, and went back separately to find a familiar person to prepare for a joint letter, so that Tong Guan could be severely punished, even if he was not beheaded, he would be demoted and exiled, at least not less than the punishment of Mr. Huang Zhoushan, who was degraded to Qiongzhou last year.
