When Yan Shenggong heard this, his face was full of embarrassment, and he looked at Wang Chengen with a little lack of confidence, and he wanted to say something, as if he wanted to argue again.

When Wang Chengen saw it, he immediately stood up with his sleeves flicked up, although he was young, but when he approached Yan Shenggong with a cold face, he was full of momentum, forcing Yan Shenggong to involuntarily take several steps back.

"Under the whole world, all are kings' lands, and within the four seas, all are kings' ministers." Wang Chengen shouted coldly, "Confucius Mansion, how can the Holy Father of Yan be an exception? The Ming Dynasty is not thin on the Confucian family, and now it should also serve the country! This is not to force you, but to give you the Kong family another chance! In three days, if you don't see Yan Shenggong personally set off for Beijing, our family will definitely come to visit again! When the time comes, don't blame our family for not being emotional! ”

After finishing speaking, he didn't look at Yan Shenggong again, and strode out. His subordinates followed the crowd away, and after a while, Yan Shenggong was left alone in the hall.

After the people from Dongchang left for a while, the subordinates of Yan Shenggong turned back to the lobby one after another. When they saw Yan Shenggong holding a piece of paper and standing there a little dejected, they were all a little curious and asked one after another.

"Yan Shenggong, I don't know why the factory father came here in person?"

"Could it be, it's the same thing as last time?"

"Yan Shenggong, what is written on that paper?"

“……”

Yan Shenggong seemed to be very tired, waved his hand, and said a little weakly: "Go out, let Bengong go out, let Bengong be quiet." “

Seeing him like this, a few people immediately wanted to leave, but others seemed to be a little indignant and spoke again.

"Yan Shenggong, shouldn't it be Dongchang who is embarrassed again?"

"Yan Shenggong, if you don't announce it to the world, you won't believe it, and the people who read the world won't make decisions for us!"

“……”

As soon as he heard this kind of remarks, Yan Shenggong suddenly became excited, came back to his senses, and shouted: "Go out, give this father out, this father just wants to be quiet?" Okay? ”

As soon as he got angry, these subordinate officials had to go out, whether they were voluntary or not. People don't say anything else, they just want to be quiet, what else can you do?

After these people were all out, Yan Shenggong sat down in his chair and looked at the paper in his hand. He also knew very well in his heart that once he personally went to the capital and played to the court according to the content of this piece of paper, then it was very likely that it would really be implemented. In this way, half of the foundation on which Confucius has relied for thousands of years will be dug up. Whether the Confucian Mansion can continue to maintain its glory and wealth in the future may be uncertain!

However, if you don't do what is said on this piece of paper, the title of the Holy Duke of Yan will definitely change hands. I and my children and grandchildren, not to mention enjoying the glory and wealth, even if they are stared at by Dongchang, don't think about the future life!

On the one hand, it is the ancestral foundation, and on the other hand, it is the glory and wealth of the individual, which makes Yan Shenggong particularly difficult!

The subordinate officials outside have waited for a long time, and they haven't seen Yan Shenggong come out, so they all know that Yan Shenggong must have encountered something very difficult, so they want to stay quietly alone for so long!

Finally, at dusk, Yan Sheng Gong walked out of the hall by himself, looking very tired, and instructed his subordinates: "Prepare to go down, this Gong will enter the capital tomorrow!" ”

Since he had made a decision, he didn't dare to let the factory boss wait longer, so as not to harm the factory man, so he decided to leave for Beijing tomorrow.

Not long after, in an inconspicuous mansion, a servant walked in quickly and said to Wang Chengen, who was sitting there leisurely drinking tea: "Factory Gong, Yan Sheng Gong has announced that he will enter Beijing tomorrow!" ”

When Wang Chengen heard this, the hand that had just picked up the teacup stopped slightly, and then sneered and said, "Count him as knowing current affairs!" ”

After finishing speaking, he drank it all, put the teacup back on the table, sat up straight, and immediately ordered: "Spread the news, at least the people along the way know that Yan Shenggong is going to enter the Beijing Face Saint!" ”

After his subordinates received the order and left, Wang Chengen stopped drinking tea, just sat on a chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, actually entered the chat group, and went to tell Emperor Chongzhen about the situation.

Don't look at him in front of his subordinates, he is still young, after telling Emperor Chongzhen, he reminded a little worriedly: "Your Majesty, what if he plays a slippery head at that time?" ”

When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he didn't care, but just sneered and replied: "It's okay, it's normal for everyone to oppose scientific and technological knowledge, and I don't lack him to oppose it." But if he puts it forward according to what I have explained, the world will be shocked! ”

"Your Majesty is wise, the slave understands!" When Wang Chengen heard this, he was relieved. He was afraid that this Yan Shenggong would suddenly change his hexagram at the last moment, and this situation would make him unable to prevent it, but in fact, he couldn't prevent it. Therefore, there is this worry, if the emperor blames him, he will suffer a dumb loss.

But now that the emperor has answered, even if the Holy Father of Nayan will eventually change his hexagram, he will not be blamed, so he will naturally rest assured.

Wang Chengen didn't know that Emperor Chongzhen still had a reason not to say it. The Kong family is used to enjoying happiness on weekdays, and if he feels that there will never be such a good life in the future, there will be few people who can accept this kind of change in life. If the Kong family can have the backbone to this extent, they will not enjoy thousands of years of wealth.

In other words, although the Kong family has lasted longer than any dynasty, this is also the wealth that can only be obtained by having the courage to submit under the power of the emperor! With Emperor Chongzhen's current prestige, it doesn't take too much trouble to suppress the Confucian family. Not to mention, the momentum of scientific and technological knowledge has reached a certain level, and it is not out of thin air that Yan Shenggong is allowed to come out to talk about things.

So, under the instruction of Emperor Chongzhen and the propaganda of the factory guards, the news that Yan Shenggong was going to enter Beijing to face the saint spread among the scholars as quickly as possible.

"Have you heard of it, Yan Sheng is just coming to Jingshi, there should be a book to play!"

"This must be for the sake of heresy, right? Yan Shenggong has come out, now it depends on how the imperial court gives an explanation! ”

"I heard that Yan Shenggong promised the people of the restoration society before that he would support them and put this book on it. Unexpectedly, now that the Restoration Society has died down, Yan Shenggong has not stopped! ”

"Can the resumption of society not be stopped? Zhang Pu, the leader of the Restoration Society, was exiled, Hou Fangyu, one of the four princes, was confined at home, and Fang Yizhi has now switched to learning that scientific and technological knowledge, who cares about this academic dispute? ”

“……”

In addition to the voices of these people, there are also some people who remember the rumors of the past year.

"It's not that Yan Shenggong also agrees that scientific and technological knowledge is knowledge that benefits the country and the people, why is it that he is about to go to Beijing in a blink of an eye? This...... What are you going to do in Beijing? ”

"Clarification of rumors? Yes, it must be so, the way of Confucius and Mencius is the orthodoxy of the Ming Taoism! How could the Holy Father of Yan give up this righteousness! ”

"Yes, it must have been a rumor before, but now that Yan Shenggong knows about it, he must be angry and ask for an explanation!"

“……”

There are quite a few readers who think so, and among them, there are many readers, especially those who are older, who are mostly talented and excited. In the towns that Yan Shenggong passed along the way, they shouted one after another that they wanted to go to Beijing with Yan Shenggong to ask for an explanation.

These scholars, who have spent half their lives in the Four Books and the Five Classics, were already a little suffocated when they saw that scientific and technological knowledge was becoming more and more popular. When I heard that the content of the imperial examination might have to be changed, I was completely panicked. Now that Yan Shenggong has come out to uphold justice, these people naturally jumped out to support it.

Moreover, the Ming Dynasty solved the border troubles in the north, and since last year, the imperial court has ordered the streamlined troops of the various guards to carry out training to suppress bandits, and the whole world has been a lot more peaceful. In addition, the standard of living has improved a lot in the past two years. After many old Xiucai talked about it, they really had to follow Yan Shenggong's car and go to Beijing at their own expense.

In this way, the matter of Yan Shenggong entering Beijing to face the saint has spread more widely, and it has also become the biggest topic after the beginning of the eighth year of Chongzhen. It even overshadowed all kinds of news from various feudal states.

But one day, what was strange was that Yan Shenggong was in a hurry in the morning and evening, and had been hiding in the car or in the post station, and he didn't usually show up.

Some people wonder about this situation, but more people understand. Yan Shenggong just went to Beijing to ask for an explanation, not a rebellion. came out to meet everyone, and the crowd was excited, if something happened, it was probably not what Yan Shenggong wanted to see.

That's it, Yan Shenggong's car drove from Shandong to Jingshi, behind this, the more and more sour Confucian, good guys, when they arrived in Shuntianfu, almost every good inn in every place would be full, which made those innkeepers and proprietors along the way, one by one, looking forward to it, before the people arrived, the price rose first. Wait for a flock of fat sheep to arrive and make a lot of money. So much so that some sour Confucians saw that they were about to arrive in Beijing, but they found that the entanglement was not enough, so it was a bit tragic.

Of course, these are small sections, and not many people pay attention to these people who are not entangled enough.

No matter how long Yan Shenggong walked, he finally arrived in Beijing on this day.

The model of the world's scholars, the spiritual pillar arrived in Beijing, and when Emperor Chongzhen heard the news, he specially sent Sun Yuanhua, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to greet him. In addition to the official of the imperial court, there were also scholars who were in the Beijing Division, or who had rushed to the Beijing Division in advance, and also rushed to the city gate to greet them. And those who have scientific and technological knowledge, including those craftsmen, and many good deeds rush over to see the excitement.

All of a sudden, outside the gate of Jingshi City, it was simply a sea of people. And the restaurant near the city gate is even full. Of course, at this moment, the topic of diners in the restaurant here is not far from the matter of Yan Shenggong entering Beijing.

At this juncture, Emperor Chongzhen did not give up the excitement, and went out of the palace in a small service, and acted as an audience in the private room of the restaurant.

Now he is quite low-key. But this is also something that can't be helped, who let him show his face in front of the people of Jingshi more. And I have done a lot of things about micro-service out of the palace, and a few times before, when I walked on the street, I was recognized by the people. All of a sudden, the street was full of kneeling, so that he couldn't do anything, so he could only go back to the palace.

For this reason, Emperor Chongzhen once said cruel words in private: "Wait for me to turn back and move the capital, and change to a new capital!" ”

As for whether this is a joke or not, even a few chamberlains and factory guards who heard it closely cannot guess.

Now this time, Emperor Chongzhen stayed in this restaurant in a very low-key manner, and he didn't know it, thinking that the emperor loved to join in the fun. But if you really want to think about it like this, you really wronged him. If it were possible, he would rather play hide and seek with those concubines in the Imperial Garden than join in the excitement. The reason why he came out is for no other reason, the achievement value of buying out and taking pictures is not enough, there are so many opportunities, how can he come out to harvest a wave of achievement points without losing!

No, Emperor Chongzhen was just sitting in the private room of the restaurant, and he heard the system constantly sounding the prompt sound of obtaining achievement points. He had chosen a good location, near the middle of the crowd to greet the Yan Sheng Gong.

Emperor Chongzhen had calculated in advance that when he harvested achievement points in the school field, the range was not small. And the place where he is sitting now, when Fang Yuan is counted, is actually the size of a school field.

No, when the two groups of people who support Confucianism and science get together, they will inevitably quarrel and say that science was created by the emperor, and the achievements of those who support science will continue to contribute.

When the achievement points were harvested "ding-ding", Yan Shenggong also arrived. Sun Yuanhua, the waiting secretary of the Ministry of Rites, immediately stepped forward to greet him. It was only at this time that everyone saw Yan Shenggong appear.

However, Yan Shenggong looked a little haggard, while Sun Yuanhua was high-spirited, and there was a sharp contrast. Suddenly, someone reminded again, and it suddenly spread throughout the crowd: Yan Shenggong represents Confucianism, while Sun Yuanhua is an intermediate figure in science, what is the mystery behind the meeting of these two people?

No matter what others think, in short, Sun Yuanhua, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, still greeted Yan Shenggong in accordance with the etiquette system, and there were no bloody plots such as cynicism,-for-tat, and extraordinary.

Of course, there are still similar rumors, but most of them are made up by those who are bystanders. Under their suspicions, whether it is Yan Shenggong or the Ministry of Rites, whether it is a polite tone or a look in his eyes, he has hidden a lot of secrets. There are even many people who go back and say that the battle between Confucianism, Taoism and science has already begun under this city gate.

One thing is actually true, if it weren't for the soldiers of the Five Cities Terracotta Division to maintain order, it would have been difficult for the two big men to not fight, and those onlookers would have fought first.

Emperor Chongzhen is worth it after the harvest is completed, and he returns to the palace with a little distress, this achievement value is still a lot worse! It seems that it will be good to leave Beijing in a few days!

Thinking so, he decreed that the next morning the court would summon Yan Shenggong without delay, as a sign of respect.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes were focused on tomorrow's morning, and many scholars didn't even plan to sleep, and were ready to go to Fengtianmen Square early in the morning to wait for news.

They are very concerned in their hearts, how will the emperor deal with the imperial court?
