Chapter 116: The boy is shallow
It was an undisguised killing intent, as if it was afraid that the person being targeted would not know. And along with the killing intent, there was a very familiar gaze. Lu Xin looked along his senses, and on the top of a tall building about three or four miles away, he saw the head of the Imperial Temple, Wei Tuyun.
This glance instantly made Lu Xin tremble all over his body, and goosebumps all over his body.
Wei Tongyun is a master of the Guiwei Realm, and he is still in Chang'an City. The person who is targeted by him will never end well. Although Lu Xin escaped once under his hands, it was entirely because of Li Chunfeng at that time. Tan Zongxiao, the secretary of the Yin Yang Temple, was afraid of Li Chunfeng, who was already standing outside the palace, so he ordered Wei Tongyun to retreat. Otherwise, everyone in the government at that time would have died.
"How could he be there? Is it for the imperial examination and sitting in Chang'an? No matter what, the top priority is to save King Luo Bing's life first. As for Wei Tongyun, the emperor personally issued an order to pardon me. In front of the public, forgive him for not daring to come nonsense! ”
Lu Xin narrowed his eyes, and quickly withdrew his gaze, pretending to be nothing. In fact, he has never been a person who likes to be strong. But in the face of righteousness, there are some things that can not be done, but some people must be helped.
"Little brother, looking at your dress, you should also be a child of a family. I must understand this principle of dealing with people. It doesn't matter what is right and what is wrong today. But whichever is more important, you have to weigh it well. Also, since Brother Xi Ding has repeatedly asked your name, this is already a big face. If you don't say it, it's not just as simple as offending the Taiyuan Wang family. ”
Seeing that Lu Xin had not answered, the burly man standing behind Wang Xiding touched the bright jade ring on his middle finger and said coldly. This person's voice was the loudest, and as soon as he spoke, it was as shocking as a bell and drum. All the lifters looked over, and most of them nodded involuntarily after listening to the words, as if they were very much in agreement.
What does it mean to "it doesn't matter what is right and what is wrong"? The burly man's words fell into Lu Xin's ears, and they were really too high. How could he not understand the meaning. Luo Bing Wang is nothing more than a down-and-out nobody, poor who can't even afford decent clothes. Compared with Zhang Yuzhi and Sun Dianyu, they are simply bedbugs in the mud, and they can step on them if they want to. Not to mention, compared to these county princes.
In this hierarchical identity society, the commoners and the nobles are people of two worlds. In fact, in Datang, the burly man's words were not wrong. No matter how much Li Shimin values the people of the world, it is impossible for him to be stupid enough to confuse the common people with the children of the family. The law will always be on the side of Wang Xiding and others. From this point of view, it really doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong in this matter at hand.
But Lu Xin is different from everyone, in his place, King Luo Bin is right and innocent!
"Hahahaha, it's not that I don't want to say it, and it's not that I dare not say it. But in front of all the sons and daughters of the county, unless I am a relative of the emperor, otherwise I will show my identity and origin, what is the use? Right? ”
Lu Xin suddenly laughed, and did not look at the burly man, but turned his gaze to Sun Dianyu. In the final analysis, there were so many people present, and the only one who could decide the life and death of King Luo Bin was the prince of the country, the chief examiner of the imperial examination. As for Zheng Huiming and Wang Xiding, no matter how noble their backgrounds are, they have no right to interfere in court politics as a son.
"Lord Samurai, I have no intention of offending. However, this imperial examination is the first scientific examination of His Majesty the Emperor since he ascended the throne. His Majesty has paid special attention to the system. In half an hour, the exam will start, if someone splashes blood on the Hongwen Pavilion at this juncture. Not only is it unlucky, but I am afraid it will also lose the face of the court. Even if it is passed on to His Majesty, it must also make Long Yan displease, right? ”
"This ......"
Before Lu Xin's words were finished, Sun Dianyu's wrinkled old face trembled twice, and it seemed to be shaken. And the change in his expression also made Zhang Yuzhi, the captain of Zhaowu, and Zheng Huiming and other sons of the family change their faces one after another.
If at this time, in front of the world, King Luo Bin is easily released, then the faces of these people will not be able to hang up. The people present, except for Zhang Yuzhi, have something to do with the whole thing. Zheng Huiming, Wang Xiding and other county wang children have nothing to do with it. The reason why he was involved was nothing more than to get close to the wine Sun Dianyu of the country's priest. If it goes well, it can not only please the examiner, but also make a name for the family and make yourself in the limelight, which can be said to kill three birds with one stone. But no one thought that there would be a Cheng biting gold halfway.
"Hmph, don't listen to his gossip to confuse the public. Our actions are completely to eradicate the scourge for the imperial court and punish the wicked for the people of the world. Confucius often said that courtesy, righteousness and shame are placed in the first place in the four dimensions of the country. Even if he can be forgiven for all his crimes, riding on the back of a lion and shouting outside this Hongwen Pavilion is a great disrespect to the saints. Is such a person worthy of being called a scholar? Even if His Majesty the Emperor is here, he will never be forgiven. ”
Before Sun Dianyu could speak, Zhang Yuzhi was full of emotion and ruthlessly told King Luo Bin. As soon as he said this, he fell into the hands of several sons of the family. Moreover, what Zhang Yuzhi said at this time was reasonable and well-founded, not only moved out of Confucius, but also moved out of Guan Zhong's "Four Dimensions of the Country". The others listened and nodded their heads, obviously very approving.
At this time, the Tang Dynasty, Taizong ascended the throne at the beginning. Confucianism is used in the study of learning. This can be seen from Li Shimin's edict ordering the prince of the country to "stop sacrificing to the Duke of Zhou, promote the master to be the first saint, and enjoy the ...... with Yan Hui". This emperor, compared with his father, is obviously much more decisive in controlling the minds of the people.
And the law of governing the country, even if there is a shadow of Buddhism, Confucianism is still deep-rooted. This is since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone, after hundreds of years of accumulation, it has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Therefore, Zhang Yuyi mentioned "courtesy, righteousness and honesty", and immediately received the support of many people.
"Hahaha, Brother Yu is worthy of being the queen of the gate, and he is upright. That's a good thing to say, how can a scholar dare to read the book of sages if he doesn't know etiquette? Such mad people, even if they are not killed, will be severely punished. Although the Lord of the Wine Sacrifice ordered, even if it was passed to His Majesty, there would be my Zheng clan to testify on behalf of the Lord, and I would share the blessings and misfortunes. ”
"Yes, there is also my Taiyuan Wang family, if Your Majesty really wants to blame, my Wang Xiding will be the first to come out and confess."
"Hehehe...... The two brothers are really jealous and hateful. Anyway, if Your Majesty really thinks that our door has done something wrong, then the one who comes out to bear the blame will be counted as Lu Houze. Presumably, for the sake of my father's face, Your Majesty, he won't be held responsible, right? Hehehehehe......"
"And us, we can all testify for the examiner, and testify for your sons......"
Zhang Yuzhi's words, after Zheng Huiming's echo, one stone stirred up a thousand waves, and instantly won the support of all the lifters. And with so many people as the backing, Sun Dianyu's expression that had just changed immediately became firm.
At this moment, punishing King Luo Bin is no longer his business alone. It is a major event that has won the hearts of the people and needs the anger of the people. Except for Cui Xiangrong and the middle-aged man from the Cui clan of Qinghe who did not speak, the other three all expressed their attitudes. At this time, even if he didn't want to punish severely, he couldn't.
Looking at the excited scene in front of him, Lu Xin's face changed suddenly, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong. At this moment, he really understood what kind of world he was in. There are some things that he alone can't compete with, let alone change.
Looking down at Luo Binwang's unruly look, Lu Xin had mixed feelings in his heart. Speaking of which, his age is actually not much different from that of King Luo Bin. Two years ago, he was so depressed, lonely, and alone. Maybe others can't understand Luo Bingwang's state of mind at this time, but he can completely empathize.
Tightening his fists, the boy had already made up his mind to take him away.
"Well, since everyone thinks he is guilty, then the official can't cheat for personal gain. However, what this person said is not unreasonable, His Majesty is merciful, and now that the scientific expedition is imminent, he definitely does not want to see anyone splash blood in the Hongwen Pavilion. But the madman is fierce, so as not to continue to harm others, the official will order someone to cut off his hands and feet, and escort him to Yongzhou Mansion, where he will be handed over to Yongzhou Mansion for trial according to the law. Do you have any opinions? ”
"Hahaha, the adult's move is very popular, and the student has no opinion."
When Zhang Yuyi heard that he was going to cut off Luo Binwang's hands and feet, he immediately laughed and nodded in agreement. This kind of practice can directly turn Luo Bingwang into a wasted person, which is even more painful than death, and he naturally will not have any opinions. The rest of the children of the family also nodded one after another, and when Sun Dianyu saw this, he stroked his beard with satisfaction, and immediately ordered the Yuan Cong Forbidden Army beside him to do it. Seeing that the situation could not be stopped, Lu Xin hurriedly stepped forward and blocked King Luo Bing behind him.
But what he didn't expect was that Luo Bingwang suddenly stood up and pulled him aside.
"I don't need anyone to mix in my business, get out!"
The child's voice was still cold, and although he was talking to the person who was helping him, it was also emotionless. Lu Xin's face did not change, and he was about to speak, but his mouth was blocked by a hand. At this time, a large number of Yuan rushed forward from the forbidden army and fought with King Luo Bin again.
"Brother Xin, are you fucking crazy? This fool was not born to you, so why stand up for him? ”
"Let go, let go!"
At this time, Lu Xin couldn't listen to it, and instantly took away the scholar's hand. The latter screamed in pain, sat down with a butt, and hugged Lu Xin's thigh again.
"If you help him now, you will not only oppose the Tang Dynasty, but also offend the people of several major families. Not to mention the five surnames and seven hopes, it is just a Zhang Yuzhi, we can't afford to offend. ”
"Hmph, a group of people who don't distinguish between right and wrong, I'm really offended today. What are the children of the family, Lao Tzu is not even afraid of his mother's Xuantian Sect, you get out of the way for me! ”
