Chapter 169: Collusion between Officials and Gentry

When Fang Yuan arrived at Donglin Academy, Donglin Academy was already crowded with people, with at least 3,000 literati gathered, blocking several surrounding streets tightly.

The Xuanjia Army, which maintained law and order, had uniformly cut the troublesome literati into groups of two or three hundred, and could no longer organize a series of offensives.

As soon as Fang Yuan walked to the gate of the academy, at the gate of the academy, it was Gu Xiancheng's famous couplet, "The sound of the wind and rain, the sound of reading, the sound of family affairs, state affairs, and everything in the world cares about everything."

The noise came from the academy, "The eunuch party is raging, the world is full of miasma, swear to die unyieldingly, defend the academy!" ”

There are also literati bachelors neatly Ying He straight into the sky, "Swear to the death and defend the academy!" ”

Fang Yuan smiled coldly, the so-called eunuch party refers to Fang Yuan.

Under the escort of the Xuanjia Army, he went straight into Donglin Academy and came to the front of the lobby.

Qin Zhan used a megaphone and shouted at the crowd, "Governor Fang has arrived, stop the noise immediately!" ”

The sound of the loudspeaker silenced the noise of the literati in the academy and clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

Fang Yuan's arrival immediately caused a commotion among the literati in the academy, and the Xuanjia Army, which maintained order, immediately entered a state of alert, and anyone who made the slightest rash move would definitely be hit by thunder.

The leading literati shouted, "Don't be violent, give me justice!" ”

The literati echoed in unison, "Don't be violent, give me justice!" ”

Fang Yuan took the megaphone in Qin Zhan's hand and said loudly, "Okay, this military gate is coming today, it is to return your justice, whoever wants to talk to this military gate face to face, immediately send a representative to come." ”

He explained this sentence and led everyone into the hall of the academy, and the Xuanjia army took the lead in opening the way and drove out all the literati sitting in the academy.

Donglin Academy, the right temple is the left school, the right side of the academy is to worship Yang Shi and other Song Dynasty Acting Scholars, as well as the Donglin Party of the Taonan Temple; On the left is the place where the literati of the Donglin Party give lectures.

Fang Yuan entered the Daonan Temple, explained to Qin Zhan, and immediately sent ten Jinyi guards to bring the Wuxi County Order Lin Yu and the Gu Handle of the Gu family to the academy.

He put his hands behind his back and stood in front of the statue of Yang Shi, a master of science, staring at him without saying a word.

For Zhu Chengli, Fang Yuan's mood was very conflicted.

Let's say that science has been a scourge for thousands of years! It has inherited at least a thousand years of Chinese orthodox culture, if there is no Confucianism, science, in the reign of the Mengyuan and Manchu Qing dynasties, the Han literati are afraid that they would have been eroded long ago, and there will be no 100,000 soldiers and civilians who were martyred in Yashan, and after the death of the Ming Dynasty, countless Jiangnan literati who were martyred.

Let's say that the science of science is in the future! It imprisoned the thinking of the Han nation, weakened the blood of the Han people, and the spirit of martial arts, and cultivated basically nerds who could only do it. Before the prosperity of science, the Han people had never been destroyed by nomads; After the prosperity of science, it was taken by nomads, fishermen and hunters in turn, which is by no means an accident of history.

While he was pondering and silent, the representatives selected by the literati were brought into the Daonan Temple, and the three thousand literati who were making a lot of noise, Fang Yuan also gave the quota of three representatives, but only two people dared to confront Fang Yuan face to face.

Fang Yuan raised his eyes and saw that one was a middle-aged literati in his forties and fifties; One person is about twenty or thirty years old, born with a beautiful face, and a smell of books comes to his face.

Fang Yuan brought a chair, separated from the two of them three feet away, and sat face to face.

The two reported to their families, the middle-aged literati is Gu Xiancheng's grandson, Gu Shan, that is, the person who is the master of Donglin Academy, has already obtained the Jinshi meritorious name, and later returned to his hometown because of the disaster of eunuchs, and is no longer an official.

The other is Gu Yanwu, the leader who has debated with Mao Bijiang for several days and has been organizing the literati riots. Although Gu Yanwu's surname is Gu, he has nothing to do with the Gu family.

Gu Handle was the person Fang Yuan was going to deal with, and it really didn't take any effort to get it, so he smiled and said, "It seems that it is the two of you who organized the literati riot and affected the livelihood of the people in Changzhou Mansion, let's say it!" What do you want to do against this army? ”

Gu Shan also knew the reason why Xiucai did not fight with the soldiers, and said politely, "Fang Junmen, we scholars respect Confucius and only read the books of sages, where do we dare to go against Fang Junmen?" Just because Xu Hua, a businessman from Suzhou Mansion, said that he was ordered by Fang Junmen to open a brothel in Donglin Academy, which was really too deceitful. Dare to ask Fang Junmen, is there such a thing? ”

Fang Yuan took a leisurely sip of tea and said, "Yes, I did send Xu Hua here." ”

Gu Shan's face changed, and he said hesitantly, "Fang Junmen is also the governor of the imperial court, and when he is a concubine of the court, why did he do such an insulting deed?" ”

Gu Yanwu couldn't help but say, "Fang Junmen, you have committed such atrocities, you are more tyrannical than Wei Biao, are you a bandit, a rogue?" ”

Facing the scolding of the two, Fang Yuan said calmly, "Gu Shan! This military gate has never read the Four Books and Five Classics, let alone the classics of history, but only knows the most simple truth, that is, water can carry a boat and also capsize a boat. Come, bring Qi Weng, and other people who seek justice. ”

Jinyi Wei brought Qi Weng and other seven or eight households of people up, and everyone knelt down to Fang Yuan, shouting that they were wronged, and asked Fang Yuan to be the master of the people.

Fang Yuan's gaze swept over the people and asked, "If you have any grievances, let's talk about it with this army, and also tell it to the Gu family's son." ”

The people talked about the Gu family's forcible occupation of private houses at a low price in order to rebuild Donglin Academy, and Gu Shan's face was blue and red for a while, and he was speechless.

Fang Yuan waited for the people to say it, and said with a smile, "Gu Shan, you have read so many sage books, but you haven't even understood such a simple truth, your Jinshi fame, it seems that this military sect still needs to be recast!" ”

Gu Handle was moved out of the people of Yumeat Township by Fang Yuan in public, and he was so ashamed that he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, and he didn't dare to answer a word.

At this time, Wuxi County Ling Lin Yi was also brought in by Jinyiwei.

Lin Yu knew that he was found by Jinyiwei, so there was no good thing, so he was busy knowing and knowing, and nodded and sold Fang Yuan, "Fang Junmen, are you looking for me?!" ”

Fang Yuan slapped the table heavily and said sharply, "Lin County Order, I am trying a case, which happens to be related to you, I heard that when the Gu family expanded Donglin Academy, it was you who helped to buy and sell the people's houses?" ”

In front of the officials of Suzhou Mansion and Songjiang Mansion who were punished by Fang Yuan, Lin Yu knelt on the ground in fright when he heard it, and couldn't help but arch his hand and said, "Fang Junmen, I really don't know, I just stamped a seal on the sales contract that was reported!" ”

Fang Yuan said coldly, "In this way, the forced buying and selling are all done by the Gu family, and you don't know about it?" ”

Lin Yu neither admitted nor denied it, but pretended to be stupid, "This has something to do with the Gu family?" The official has no knowledge, no knowledge! ”

Fang Yuan didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore, and looked at the Jinyi Wei who was registering in the book of impermanence on the side, "Remember it, just give it to Lin County Order to take a look, if it is true, take Lin County Order to the gate of the academy and announce the evil deeds of the Gu family in public!" ”

The Gu family is a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River, deep-rooted, where did Lin Yu dare to offend, took the confession, his hands trembled with fright, and he said hesitantly, "Fang Junmen, I want to resign, resign." ”

I'd rather resign than offend the Gu family, it can be seen that the Gu family is a powerful local powerhouse, Fang Yuan smiled and said, "Lin Xianling wants to resign?" OK! When Jinyiwei verifies clearly, you have no other cases of adultery, and this military gate allows you to resign. ”

Lin Yu was so frightened that his face was like death, in the officialdom of Daming, if he really wanted to investigate, it was all corrupt officials, and he was no exception. If you let Jinyiwei investigate, it is estimated that you will not be able to escape the end of punishment.

When the catastrophe came, they flew separately, and Lin Yu couldn't care about protecting Gu Shan, "Fang Junmen, this, this, alas!" I threw in the towel! What Fang Junmen says is what it is! ”

Compared with the lives of the whole family, Lin Yu had no choice at all, and only chose to draw a line with the Gu family.

Fang Yuan confessed to Qin Zhan, "Immediately detain Lin Shan and Gu Shan to the gate of the academy, publicly try Gu Zhang's crime of forcibly buying and selling private houses, and then show me the Gu family's full door, and wait for the military gate to verify clearly, and the Gu family has no other traitors, and then release." ”

Fang Yuan lightly dealt with Lin Yu and Gu Shan, and when Jinyi Wei escorted the two away, Gu Yanwu, who was the representative, was not afraid, and said loudly, "Fang Junmen is using power to oppress people, I, Gu Yanwu, am not convinced!" ”

This Gu Yanwu is a little upright and cute, Fang Yuan is relieved to pull him into the literati team under his command, and asked patiently, "How can Gu Gongzi be convinced?" ”

Gu Yanwu said stubbornly, "Unless, unless, Fang Junmen dares to have a public debate with me." ”

Fang Yuan was stunned and asked, "What does Gu Gongzi want to debate?" Quoting scriptures, poems and singing about those nerd things, I don't know anything, hey! ”

Gu Yanwu smiled contemptuously and said, "Then we will be imaginative, there will be no debate questions, you ask me to answer, or I ask you to answer, will Fang Junmen dare?!" ”

Fang Yuan groaned slightly, he was not interested in these things that were playing tricks in the world of scholars, but in order to convince Gu Yanwu, the thorny head who took the lead, and even more importantly, to convince all the literati who participated in the riot, he also agreed to his challenge, "Okay, see you in the Ming Auditorium of Donglin Academy in ten days!" ”
