Chapter 18 Voices of Theft-1
"Cai Jing, this traitor, the mediocre official of the Ministry of Rites!" Chen Dong scolded indignantly. In the past few days, the Science Society has grown a lot, and its members have risen sharply from more than 800 to more than 2,000. However, participating in the joint petition will remove the qualification from the provincial examination, which is quite a shock to the people in Beijing. After all, no one asks for ten years, and they are looking forward to the day when they become famous all over the world. During this time, the scribes of the Zhongshu Gate, the Ministry of Rites, and the Imperial History Observatory refused to sign any civil letters, and the people of the Ministry of Rites also persuaded him earnestly.
"I didn't expect that the traitorous party was so arrogant that even the ancestral family law that did not prohibit scholars from writing and talking about things dared to be abandoned." Deng Su sighed.
"The scribes in Zhongshu Province are even more annoying, not only do they not accept it, but they also speak with sarcasm, saying that even if they want to go to the book, they should be raised by Hebei. Zhang Bing said in a deep voice, in fact, the words of the people in Zhongshu Province are ten times more difficult to listen to than this.
"The scholars of the fallen states and counties, there is not one out of ten, every family has filial piety, everyone is mourning, how can anyone come to Beijing to take the exam!" Zhao Xingde's face was pale, and after the military disaster and flood, corpses were everywhere, the people were displaced, beggars were in groups, and there were many people who lost their minds because of the destruction of their families. He slapped the table and said in a deep voice: "You must not let the traitor cover the sky with one hand!" β
"That's true!" Cao Liangshi said, "If the fall of Hebei can be ended like this, how can justice exist!" What is the reason of heaven! Dozens of scholars from the Science Society present shouted and scolded one after another, and the crowd was excited. Especially some people from other places, if they see the corruption and tyranny of officials in the state capital, they can still deceive themselves, thinking that the court and the princes must not be like this. But when you come to the capital, you are like a raccoon dog. I only feel that I have read the books of sages for more than ten years, and with the size of the world, the turbidity is rolling everywhere, and the clouds cover the sun, and there is no hope.
Chen Dong groaned: "This traitorous party is tilted into the court, and the holy hearing is blinded. and how can they blind the eyes and ears of the whole world? I want to expose the cause of the chaos in Hebei to the world, so that those who still have the conscience of the world can do their part, please behead Tong Guan, and the Ministry of Rites under the Zhongshu Sect to deceive the holy listeners, do you think so? β
All the scholars applauded, and many of them in Beijing had written about the unveiling, and some of them from other places were not very afraid. Because Zhao Xingde is a first-hand witness of the chaos in Hebei, he wrote it, and everyone said a word to me, and if you consider the words, you will definitely arouse the righteous indignation of the people, and reprimand the traitor to commit suicide in shame. These dozens of people are the leaders of articles everywhere, and the kung fu of a few pots of wine is sprinkled with a thousand words of long essays.
Zhao Xingde read it out to the public, and everyone made some changes. Chen Dongdao: "This public revelation is the sincerity of our colleagues who are worried about the country, and everyone copies dozens of copies and posts them all over the city to show the ugliness of traitors!" β
Cao Liangshi said: "The eunuch thief is powerful in the capital, and it is not enough to post it in the capital, I want to pass this public revelation back to Jinghu Road, widely spread it, and make the traitorous party's ugly deeds public to the world!" Other non-local scholars also proposed: "We also want to pass this public revelation back to Jiangnan Road." "I'm a taxi from the two Zhejiang roads." "It's indispensable to have my Jingdong Road." "The people of Huainan Road have been raping the party for a long time, and if you expose one of them, you will definitely attack them in groups!"
"Wait!" Zhao Xingde said in a deep voice, and added "The traitor wants to cover up his evil and abolish the national law." Those of my generation who have been taught by the sages want to do their best, and when they see this, they should be copied into two, showing their ugliness, and eliminating evil with righteousness. The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband and the encouragement of the world. β
Chen Dongdao: "Only two copies are copied, will it be too little?" β
Zhao Xingde smiled: "Not a lot." One and two, two rituals give birth to four images, and everything in the world comes from here. All the scholars nodded yes, and if they only copied it twice and posted it, it would not be difficult to do it, and if they were willing to do their best, they would naturally spread it more.
Just as he was about to copy, Zhao Xingde suddenly remembered something and said, "Wait." β
The people looked up at him and asked, "What else is the matter?" β
Zhao Xingde confessed to a crime and groaned: "This revelation will definitely spread all over the world." And we are all fledglings, and we don't understand many of the taboos and laws of the imperial court. In my opinion, before copying, I should privately ask some respected Qingliu seniors to read this post first and point out the inappropriateness in it. β
Everyone fell silent, more than 2,000 scholars of the Science Society, gathered here, are not weak and timid, but if there is a flaw in their own articles, and they are caught by traitors, it is a big joke in the world. The more profound the article, the more powerful it is, and they nods yes when they hear it. So after some discussion, it was decided that Deng Su would submit the public disclosure to his seat teacher Yu Shi in the imperial history for review, Zhang Bing and Chen Dong would submit the public disclosure to his seat supervisor Shao Wu for review, Zhu Sen and He Fang would submit the public disclosure to the prince of the country to supervise the wine Yang Shi Master for review, and Zhao Xingde would submit the article to the Taishi Bureau Ling Chao Buzhi for review. The public revelation has been recognized by these four people, on the one hand, it has gathered the power of the government and the opposition, and on the other hand, with the skills of these four people, there is no flaw left in the exposΓ©, and even if the traitorous party wants to find faults, it will not be able to find faults.
When Zhao Xingde presented the public revelation to Chao Buzhi, Chao Buzhi looked at him, as if he wanted to reacquaint himself with this ordinary and gentle disciple.
"Are you really going to make this post public?" Still in disbelief, he asked. In the past, the scholars of Bianjing rushed to the door of the minister, and even did a lot of incorruptible and shameful things, so that Chao Buzhi also sighed a little that the morale was declining, but it was unexpectedly that these young people who were not in the climate were like Zhang Zifang fighting a wave, in order to seek justice, he did not hesitate to gamble on his own future, and wanted to overthrow one of the most important ministers of the official family, Tong Guan, whose status was far from theirs.
Chao Buzhi pondered for a long time, and suddenly seemed to say to himself: "I forgot, the Science Society, the momentum is also quite strong, right?" β
"Don't dare to hide it, sir, there are more than 2,000 gentlemen in the society."
"Hmm." Chao Buzhi nodded slightly, and said with a sigh, "Unconsciously, another group of young people have changed." β
He picked up the public announcement of the Science Society, read it carefully, nodded, shook his head again, beckoned Zhao Xingde to his side, and said softly: "There seems to be something wrong here, it is easy to be attached to the allusions...... "Here, it is easy to be misinterpreted by the traitorous party...... "Here, such a line is disliked by the officials......"
In the house of the master of the country's priest Yang Shi, He Fang and Zhu Sen stood respectfully, and they didn't dare to come out. They can worship under the famous Yang Shimen, which can be said to be a lot of luck, and they usually come to serve the old gentleman, but they are all cautious, for fear of saying the wrong word and taking the wrong step. If it weren't for the fact that the scholars of the Science Society felt that since Yang Shi was the most prestigious Confucian scholar in the world, he would not have to miss the opportunity to ask him to review it, and these two would never have harassed Mr. with such a shocking thing.
Yang Shi is already over the age of sixteen, holding the right hand of the public is covered with the unique green tendons of the old man, pressing his left hand on his knee, beating the beat again and again, he frowned, looked very slowly, almost word by word, every time the old gentleman's brows wrinkled more, He Fang and Zhu Sen's heartbeat would speed up a little.
After a long time, Yang Shifang put down the post, looked at the trembling disciple, and said in a deep voice: "This article doesn't seem to be the open-minded penmanship of the two of you, and it seems to be mixed with the guidance of many others. Really? Although he is old, he has been cultivating himself for many years, full of energy, and if he doesn't speak, as soon as he speaks, the desolate house on all sides seems to be buzzing.
"That's what the gentleman said. This article was written by Zhao Xingde, a friend of the two of us in the Science Society, and the gentleman in the society was instructed by the gentleman. β
"Well, that's it." Yang Shi nodded slightly, gently placed the unveiling post on the desk, and beckoned: "Come forward." Pointing to the post, he said word by word: "The article is written in one go, but several of the truths are not yet clear......"
He Fang and Zhu Sen stepped forward, listened to the master's teachings, and secretly remembered what he said.
After the pointing, Yang Shi asked: "When this thing goes out, everyone in the Science Society has become a thorn in the side of the traitor." At this moment, Your Majesty is surrounded by a small group, and the future of righteous men and gentlemen is worrying, aren't you two afraid? β
He Fang and Zhu Sen glanced at each other, and He Fang said: "The heart is good, although it is nine deaths, there is still no regret." Zhu Sen said: "It is a blessing for students to be able to sacrifice their own body for the sake of righteousness." β
Yang Shi nodded, handed the post back to them, and said slowly: "You two can be called my true Chengmen." β
Chen Dong and Zhang Bing presented the unveiling post to Shao Wu, Deng Su presented it to Qin Hui, these two are the mainstay of today's Qingliu, after a long time, I don't know how many ink lawsuits have been fought with people, and it is a major event to move to Tong Guan and consolidate the East Palace. Several of the protΓ©gΓ©s recorded on the side have benefited a lot.
This unveiling post was also sent to the hands of Cai Gongxiang by someone with a heart.
Cai Jing read it again, put down the manuscript, and sighed: "A good article, but it's a pity that the calligraphy of the copyist is too bad." He looked at the henchmen in the seat and said with a smile: "These posterior boys are getting more and more nonsense." β
"Prime minister, do you want to arrest these troublemakers first?"
Cai Jing said with a smile: "All the sons have merit and fame, and I don't scold people with words, not to mention, they don't even write books, but they just post articles everywhere to vent their anger." Be careful not to spread this to the palace. How big can this little unveiling move become? Autumn is approaching, and when the time comes, it will naturally disappear. He paused, his eyes turned cold slightly, "Record all these copies and posters, and let them jump out on their own." β
Taishi Cai closed his eyes as usual and recuperated. These scholars don't know at all, the official family has the best face, if the book is acceptable, now such a face-tearing nonsense, only need to slightly lead the suspicion to the crown prince Zhao Ke, even if the East Palace can be kept at the moment, the official family has lost face and holds a grudge, and there is no room for the matter of easy storage. Tong Guan's honor and disgrace are just insignificant dust compared to the battle in the East Palace. Prime Minister of the Great Song Dynasty has a lot of opportunities, and there are too many things to worry about, so he can let go of things after relieving the worries of the East Palace.
