"Lord Han, if I'm not mistaken, the ancestral system is not allowed to kill the doctor and the person who writes and speaks, right?"

Han Jiang nodded, "Lord Wang, I know that you are angry in your heart, but this is also something that cannot be helped. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Wang Ningan stretched out his hand and stopped Han Jiang.

"Lord Han, I want to ask you, with the actions of Xu Yong, Sun Wei, Xiao Gu and others, are they still considered scholars?" Wang Ning'an said sharply: "The so-called scholars die for their confidants, not to mention the grace of the imperial court, millions of Li people, thousands of miles of land, they can all ignore it, if these people are considered scholars, what is the face of the scholar?" Don't you feel ashamed to be in the company of these people? ”

Han Jiang interrogated for several months, and he knew more about the situation than Wang Ning'an, and he knew exactly how dirty the officials in Lingnan were. was asked by Wang Ning'an's old face to turn red, and he was stunned for a long time, and said ashamedly: "Erlang, let's do it, I will write to the court and ask for severe punishment and put these three people to death!" ”

"No!" Wang Ningan shook his head resolutely, "This is not enough, hundreds of thousands of unjust souls in Lingnan are waiting in the sky, and the people of the Great Song Dynasty are watching, if you can't make the canonical punishment clear, where is the prestige of the imperial court?" ”

Han Jiang became more and more miserable, "Lord Wang, Erlang! Count me begging you, no, if you force me like this, I can't do it! ”

"You've got a way!" Wang Ningan was not polite at all, "Lord Han, you and I immediately signed a joint letter, and at the same time I sent a letter to the drunkard, I want to ask him, a traitor, he can't even be a human being, can he still be a scholar?" ”

Han Jiang was shocked, "Erlang, what do you mean?" ”

"I ask the imperial court and Shilin to deprive the officials involved in the case of their qualifications!" Wang Ningan said categorically, as soon as these words came out, Han Jiang's eyes lit up.

In the past, Shilin was in and out, that is, he was admitted to the Jinshi, or became a Confucian, that is, he was recognized as a scholar, but he did not think about what kind of deeds would lose the qualification of a scholar.

As Wang Ningan said, colluding with rebellion, betraying military intelligence, and losing the country, such sinners are not even counted as people, what kind of scholar is he?

If these people are deprived of their qualifications as scholars, then they can be punished immediately, and in the case of Xu Yong and Sun Wei, it is not too much to sentence a Ling Chi to death, you must know that the Great Song Dynasty has always been very ruthless in dealing with rebellions and has never shown mercy.

Is it just the right thing to do?

"Lord Han, if you still hesitate, I'll just read the book myself."

Wang Ningan was about to leave after speaking, but Han Jiang hurriedly stopped him.

"Erlang, don't get me wrong, I, my joint name is not good!"

……

Han Jiang was forced by Wang Ning'an to have no choice, and at the same time, he was also furious, unwilling to let go of a few scum, so he waved a large pen overnight and wrote down the crimes of these people in detail, and then sent them to the capital in an expedited manner of six hundred miles.

Wang Ning'an went all the way south, and the people were sleepy and the horses were lacking, so he simply repaired in Guangzhou, and he also had to wait for the news of the imperial court, in Wang Ning'an's heart, he had already sentenced a bunch of human traffickers to death!

It's up to the court to deal with it, right?

If the scholars can save face and take the initiative to clean up the scum, they still have some respect for them, if not, hehe...... Wang Ningan gritted his teeth, if it's a big deal, he won't believe it, with the wisdom of my two lives, I can't fight them!

Wang Ningan and Yang Xi spend a small life every day.

The capital is turned upside down at the moment.

The first person to get the news was Ouyang Xiu, and the old master was also very concerned about this case. On the one hand, Ouyang Xiu was eager to kill all these people, but on the other hand, he was also worried that the ancestral system would be difficult to disobey and would not be easy to deal with.

When Wang Ning'an's letter came, Ouyang Xiu's eyes lit up.

This is indeed a way, taking the initiative to deprive the officials involved in the case of their qualifications as scholars, which not only does not violate the ancestral system, but also shows the decisive side of Shilin and maintains the reputation of scholars, Ouyang Xiu quite agrees.

He immediately went to the political hall and went to discuss with Jia Changchao.

As soon as he stepped in, several ministers were there, including Prime Minister Jia Changchao, Vice Minister Fu Bi, Governor Tang Jie, Privy Envoy Liang Shi, and Three Envoys Zeng Gongliang.

Seeing Ouyang Xiu coming, several people took the initiative to say hello to him.

Jia Changchao got straight to the point, "Drunkard, are you for Lingnan's case?" ”

"That's right." Ouyang Xiu pulled a chair and sat down.

Those who are familiar with history know that the Song Dynasty's control of the separation of powers reached a pathological point, and almost all the prime ministers were hung with the title of Pingzhangshi under the Zhongshu Men, and no one could really serve as the prime minister of the three provinces - Zhongshu Ling, Men Shizhong, Shangshu Ling, and Shangshu left and right, and became a veritable prime minister.

The establishment of the governor and the privy envoy in charge of military power, according to which almost all scholars believe that the power of the Song Dynasty was weakened and restricted.

This is also true and wrong!

As a single individual, it is obvious that the prime minister of the Song Dynasty is not as majestic as his predecessors, but as an overall minister, it is greatly strengthened.

Take the current situation as an example, if something happens, usually the ministers of the East and West Mansions get together, if their opinions are unanimous and report directly to Zhao Zhen, the emperor almost has to nod.

Only when there are serious disagreements can the emperor come out to adjudicate and reconcile.

After Ouyang Xiu sat down, he said: "I think Xu Yong, Sun Wei and others are angry and resentful, and they have committed many crimes, and they are difficult to write. They are not only the sinners of the Great Song Dynasty, but also the shame of Shilin, if they are not severely punished, what will the people of the world think? If the scholars can't set an example, what kind of face do they have, assist the holy king, and govern the people? ”

The old master's words were loud, and Tang Jie and Zeng Gongliang both nodded frequently.

"We agree with the meaning of the drunkard, and it is a shame for us to be in the company of sinners!"

The first three cannons are all important ministers with a clear name, and they are very oppressive.

Jia Changchao glanced at Liang Shi and asked, "What does the cardinal mean?" ”

"Jia Xianggong, the Lingnan case is too implicated, I don't know much, please ask Jia Xianggong to decide, I support the opinions of the big guys."

If you say it, you don't say it, Liang Shi is also slippery enough, but he pointed it out, I'm afraid this case can't be so simple to conclusion.

Jia Changchao looked at Fu Bi again, "What about Brother Yanguo?" What do you think? ”

Fu Bi sighed, "According to Han Jiang's expression, those people are indeed guilty of a lot of crimes, and I have no intention of excusing them, no matter how to deal with them, it is not too much." But I want to ask, how to implement this expulsion from Shilin? ”

Ouyang Xiu was stunned for a moment, and hesitated: "Fu Xianggong, I don't understand what you mean, do you think these people can still be scholars?" ”

Fu Bi remained silent, "Uncle Yong, I said, I have no opinion on what to do with these people." I'm worried that this example will be opened, what will happen next? If there are any officials who make mistakes, just find a reason to expel Shilin, and then they can cut off their heads! Does that make sense? Does the ancestral system still have the slightest majesty? ”

Seeing Ouyang Xiu's eyebrows raised, he had to argue.

Fu Bi directly showed his killer move, "Drunkard, as a leader in the literary world, you can represent Shilin!" Do you think that whoever is not worthy of being a scholar can tell the world, fire Shilin, and then kill the killer? ”

"Rich and Rich!"

Ouyang Xiu couldn't understand Fu Bi more and more, where did the hot-blooded Fu Yan Country go back then, how did it become like this!

"I, Ouyang Xiu, will definitely not slander a good person, and those brutes who are really guilty and have great sins, can they be gently let go?"

Fu Bi was-for-tat, "Xu Yong is dead, Sun Wei is in the army, and Xiao Gu will never be used." Is this a gentle pass? What else? Raiding the house and exterminating the family? Or Ling Chi was executed? Just by playing with words and expelling people from Shilin, they want to bypass the ancestral system, this kind of villain behavior, shameless means, is really dangerous! How can you do whatever you want, and change it as you want? ”

For a long time, Fu Bi has been a gentle and elegant image, and people have forgotten that this person has been an envoy to the Liao State, and his eloquence is unparalleled in the world, he broke out, and Ouyang Xiu was dumbfounded.

Wang Yaochen took the opportunity to say: "I can trust the character of the drunkard, but in case there are some unscrupulous people who take advantage of this matter to make a big fuss." Shilin is expelled at every turn, and it is true, all officials are panicked and trembling, and there is no more peaceful day in the world. ”

They sang and harmonized, and cooperated tacitly.

Jia Changchao was also full of embarrassment, if you want to kill it, you really should kill it.

But the problem is that he is also a scholar, and there are also a large number of protégés and former officials behind him, and as soon as the bad example is opened, no one will be better if he is red-eyed in the future, isn't it a big trouble!

Seeing that Jia Changchao hesitated, Ouyang Xiu was furious, "Jia Xianggong, the scholar is the son of heaven, and the people are peaceful." should have trembled and walked on thin ice! The grandfather left the ancestral teachings back then, because he was worried that future generations would indiscriminately kill innocents, suppress speech, and ruin the country. But now, a hundred years of peace, the Son of Heaven is benevolent, and he treats scholars with great courtesy, kindness and reconstruction. On the other hand, the scholars are incompetent in governing the country, greedy and pervert the law, and the country's major affairs are child's play. Shouldn't Shilin be ashamed, tremble, and reflect on his own mistakes? ”

Ouyang Xiu's beard was all over the place, and every word poked everyone's hearts, what he said was really good!

But not everyone has the courage of the old master to reflect on himself.

Jia Changchao was silent for a long time, and said helplessly: "Everyone think about it carefully, and this matter will be discussed later." ”

……

Coming out of the political hall, Ouyang Xiu was not only angry, but disappointed, I really didn't expect that his comrades-in-arms back then would not dare to know him.

The common people often say that when the crow falls on the pig, it only sees others black, but not its own black!

How good it is to say, the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty are like thieves, guarding against military generals, relatives, and eunuchs, but in the end, they act wantonly and corrupt the law.

The Great Song Dynasty is different from the Han and Tang Dynasties, the foundation is too thin, the sixteen states of Yanyun are gone, the Western Regions are lost, and even the Hetao can't be defended!

The natural danger is gone, and the horse farm is gone.

Sooner or later, one day, the Great Song Dynasty will be destroyed in the hands of the barbarians, and these scholars who don't know how to reflect are the real culprits!

The establishment of the Six Arts Academy may be the most correct thing in my life, and I must innovate the Shilin atmosphere, and I must !!

The old gentleman was full of emotion, but there was no way, under the pressure of all parties, the matter dragged on for ten days, and finally the political hall came up with a plan, Xu Yong was extremely evil, the head of the owl was shown to the public, Sun Wei died, Xiao Gu was charged to the northwest, and the rest of the officials involved in the case were punished by one level.

This result was already the limit of tolerance for the court officials, and as for the proposal to expel Shilin, it was not adopted at all.

The news soon spread to Lingnan, Wang Ningan saw the results, he thought about his reaction, maybe he would be furious, or he would be indignant.

But when he really knew, there was no anger, as if it was like this!

The literati of the past generations are all the same. There are too few people who can do the same.

In fact, you don't need to look at any historical materials, just the schools of later generations, it is clear how many teachers are righteous and strict in class, and they are scolding so much that they are foaming at the sky. As a result, I have a little power in my hands, such as grants, awards, certificates, activities, which time is not privately granted! How did you ever convince everyone?

Ancient and modern, in order to save their lives, in order to do dirty things, and avoid punishment, they must defend Zhao Da's ancestral teachings no matter what.

"If the sky doesn't accept you, I will accept you!"

Wang Ning'an's fists gradually clenched, his eyes were extremely firm, the court doesn't kill people, then let me come! Guilty must be punished as he deserves!
