Chapter 51: Interpreting the Analects
Since meeting Bai Ying, Bai Xiao is not out of the door! Wait until the end of the peace talks.
Those in the know know that it is the eve of the storm.
Deng Ci asked all the thieves to retreat, but before leaving, Deng Ci visited Bai Xiao.
Bai Xiao had to see Bai Ying, but he didn't dare to see Deng Ci, in order to occupy the initiative in this peace negotiation, Deng Ci did not hesitate to kill so many people.
This is an ambitious man who treats human life like a mustard, but Bai Xiao did not let Deng Ci in, but walked out of it by himself.
"Deng Ci, there is nothing to say between us." If there is something to say, there is no need to carry people, and Bai Xiao is also afraid of falling into the hands of others, especially at this critical time.
"I've heard what you're going to do, so instead of fighting with those despicable and shameless villains here, it's better to come with me and make sure you don't have so much mess in your future."
Bai Xiao must show his attitude, otherwise with these words, Bai Xiao will not be able to wash himself when he jumps into the Yellow River, "Draw the knife." ”
The surrounding county soldiers couldn't wait for a long time, Deng Ci was the culprit who caused the tragedy in the county town, and the knife was unsheathed and waited for Bai Xiao's order.
Deng Ci: "Do you dare to do it?" I have just signed a peace document with the Great Qi Imperial Court. ”
"I don't dare, but don't force me, the court is willing to tolerate and raise adultery, but I can be mad, Dayan killed my people and killed my brother, I don't share the sky with him, and even made a gesture of Corporal Lixian, is it insulting me?"
The guards behind Deng Ci also drew their swords and guns, and the battle was about to break out.
Many young people around also surrounded them, and more and more of them were holding guys in their hands, and they were the ones who had a deep hatred in the sea of blood.
"Bai Xiao, I really didn't misunderstand you, I believe we will meet again soon."
Deng Ci calmly led people away, whether it was a county soldier or a young man, it was like nothing in his eyes.
Zhang Biao also ran back from the city wall, "It's good that I didn't do it. ”
Bai Xiao: "Do you think I'll be so unwise?" If you start with Deng Ci now, isn't that against the imperial court? ”
The thieves retreated, and the county town returned to its old life, but with the addition of a lot of white, there were too many dead people in the county town, and white silk could be seen on almost every street.
It is filled with a sad and desolate mood, which makes people feel empathy and feel heavy.
A group of students had gathered in front of Bai Xiao, at this time, Bai Xiao was wearing a broken armor, and there was blood everywhere, and everyone who saw it was in awe.
They all know where the blood stains come from.
Bai Xiao walked in the front, all the students followed behind, looking menacing, there were many people involved in the fraud in the examination room, and Bai Xiao sued the local Taishou Liuzhuang.
So I can only make trouble with Bai Ying, and at this moment in the county town, only Bai Ying can try this case.
Bai Ying was in the Taishou Mansion, and he was already prepared in his heart, but when Bai Xiao really came, Bai Ying still had a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart, he was driven to the shelves.
Even in Luoyang, no one dared to do this, but they didn't expect to capsize in the gutter in this small place.
Bai Xiao knelt on his knees and held the paper in his hand, "The lower official Jinshan County ordered Bai Xiao to sue the local Taishou Liuzhuang, and the examination room cheated to let his son Liu Jie solve the yuan in high school, ignoring the rule of law of the imperial court and bullying the superiors and subordinates, and his crime should be punished." ”
Bai Ying could only take this paper, the moment he saw the paper, Bai Ying wanted to scold, it turned out to be a blank paper, so many students behind Bai Xiao were all talented, who couldn't write a piece of paper!
Although it's your own family, you can't be so foolish!
"Liuzhuang, what do you say?"
"The lower officials are wronged, there are invigilators everywhere in the Gongyuan, there will definitely be no favoritism, and all my colleagues can testify for me."
For those invigilators, the matter of Liuzhuang is a matter of both glory and loss, and no one will back down, "We can testify." ”
"Bai Xiao slandered Liu Taishou because of personal grudges."
"Lawlessness is not worthy of being an official."
“…”
These officials, but they fell into the well one by one, and the students behind Bai Xiao couldn't sit still, so they even rose up to denounce them.
Bai Ying: "Quiet, Bai Xiao, what do you have to say?" ”
"Liu Jie is a shallow learner, and he has no real talent at all, so he will find out when he asks him."
"Come on, bring Liu Jie."
Liu Jie's performance was a little unsatisfactory, far worse than his clever old man, and he trembled when he came up, "Meet my lord." ”
"Liu Jie, some people say that you cheat, you can admit it."
"I don't admit it, I wrote the articles myself."
Liu Zhuang had long known that Bai Xiao was going to sue him, so how could he not be prepared in advance? He pulled out an exam paper.
"My lord, this article was written by a child, and it is also a work that a child really seized Xie Yuan, please comment on it."
Bai Ying is not like Bai Xiao who does not learn and has no skills, not to mention that his knowledge is rare in the world, and this article taken out by Liu Zhuang is indeed a work of Xie Yuan.
The evidence is clear, the rhetoric is gorgeous, and it is even more rare to have a larger pattern and is very practical, which is rare among the vassals and elegant articles.
"Yes, it's Xie Yuan's talent."
Bai Xiao: "The article is Xie Yuan's work, but it may not be what Liu Jie thinks. ”
"Who's to say it's not." Liu Jie also opened his mouth and came, "Today, the husband is deep, deep and far-reaching, and Mougins cannot be penetrated; It's slim and clear, and it's impossible to peep into ........"
Liu Jie even memorized the entire article without pulling a word, which was inevitably pretentious.
The father and son of the Liu family are self-defeating in doing this, and they can memorize it after writing it once, which is unforgettable, but it is something that very people can do.
Bai Xiao: "Awesome, Liu Gongzi has a good memory, I don't know if Liu Gongzi can memorize the entire Analects?" ”
Liu Zhuang: "Bai Xiao, don't come nonsense, what does this have to do with my son's middle lift?" ”
"It really doesn't matter, but Lord Taishou is so covered, I guess Liu Gongzi can't memorize it, the remarks of the Confucian sage, the grand ceremony of the scholars, the compulsory study of the township examination, and how many of these students behind me can't memorize."
"Nope." The group of students was excited, and those who couldn't even memorize the Analects could not understand the yuan.
Bai Ying: "Liu Jie, can you recite the Analects." ”
Liu Jie collapsed directly on the ground and didn't say a word, how could a pampered person bear such a scene?
The official of the Ministry of Rites, who had not spoken up, finally spoke, and once Liu Jie's matter was filed, he would definitely be involved, so he had to fight on the basis of reason.
"The article is made by nature, and the magic hand is occasionally obtained, and not being able to recite the Analects does not mean that Liu Gongzi can't write such an article."
Powerful people are late, and a few words have the ability to resolve the crisis.
Bai Xiao: "I don't know who this adult is...?" ”
"Wailang, Cao Mao."
Wailang is just a five-grade official, but at Cao Mao's age, it is indeed a lot of money to be able to sit in this position.
"It turned out to be Lord Cao, since your lord is an official of the Ministry of Rites, he must be knowledgeable, what you said is reasonable, people who can't memorize the Analects may not be able to write articles, but how can people who can't memorize the Analects pass the Analects."
Seeing so many people covering up for themselves, Liu Jie also regained a little confidence, "Those who will take the test, it just so happens that I will." ”
In the first subject of the Analects in the Township Examination, the test is not to memorize the Analects, but to test the school's interpretation of the Analects.
Half of the Analects rule the world, and 10,000 people have 10,000 ways to interpret the Analects.
"In that case, can I test you now?"
Liu Zhuang stood up again, anyway, no matter what Bai Xiao said, he would oppose it, "This is not in accordance with the rules." ”
Bai Ying: "It's okay, I've already finished the exam anyway, so bring the exam paper for the Analects 1." ”
Bai Xiao took out the exam paper, "Sage Kong has a saying, the gentleman is frank, the villain is a relative, what is a gentleman and what is a villain?" ”
"A gentleman walks the right way, does not criticize others, and is cautious in his words and deeds..."
"Wrong."
The officials present all nodded frequently, and every word was fine, "What's wrong?" ”
"He got it wrong, and it was different from his original answer."
Cao Mao: "The Analects are thought-provoking, and it is not surprising that there are new insights. ”
"I only need the original answer, and the subordinate doesn't ask for a word, but the general meaning is always known!"
Cao Mao and Liu Zhuang are both important examiners, even if they are grading, they are just passing by at a glance, they don't know what Liu Jie wrote at all?
Even if it's Liuzhuang, it's just for Liu Jie to recite it.
Liu Jie lights up the lamp and boils oil these days! It's not that it's backwards, but it's certainly word for word, "I didn't make a mistake." ”
"So you carried it?"
"Whoever said it, I'm talking about a mistake."
It's interesting to change his words temporarily, "But you really remember wrong, think about it again, I won't force you." ”
Liu Jie really thought about it again, he didn't know how ridiculous this move was, and he had to think about it for so long to interpret a sentence that had been examined.
Some of the students behind Bai Xiao were already laughing.
Cao Mao didn't expect Liu Jie to be such a fool, doesn't he usually look quite clever? I'm really going to be miserable by this idiot this time.
Bai Xiao asked Liu Zhuang in person, "Liu Taishou, what else do you have to say?" ”
Liu Jie: "Father, I'm really not mistaken. ”
Liu Zhuang's expression seemed to be embarrassed and struggled, "Say it quickly!" "Liu Zhuang kicked Liu Jie on the spot, didn't he do everything he could to maintain it just now?
What's even more strange is that Liu Jie actually fainted, Bai Xiao saw for the first time that a person with a kick in the chest would faint, presumably pretending to be dizzy!
Bai Ying: "Liuzhuang, you are too presumptuous. ”
"The dog is timid and cowardly, I, who is a father, look anxious!"
Cao Mao: "Since the person fainted, let's try it again tomorrow!" ”
I didn't know what was going to happen after a night of delay, "No." ”
"Why not, the case has not been filed yet, Liu Gongzi is not a prisoner, and he is still a county Jieyuan, so he can't be too lazy."
Bai Ying: "Righteousness, retrial tomorrow, take Liu Jie down!" Liuzhuang was fined for half a year to punish him. ”
"Lord Xie, extrajudicial mercy."
This is really the protection of officials and officials! Of course, Bai Xiao is not qualified to say this, but he always feels that something is wrong, as if something bad is about to happen.
