It was silent all night, but it disturbed the entire capital.

From the three divisions and six departments to the military patrol office, officials at all levels were alarmed in the second half of the night.

The assassination of the emperor today is such a major event, and for a time it is disturbing and very noisy.

All the ministers entered the palace one after another to say hello, but they were blocked out of the palace by Ye Yu's will, and the last thing Ye Yu wanted to see at this time was these civil and military ministers.

In the imperial study, Ye Yu sat on the dragon chair and bowed his head to the bookcase, wrote a few words on a square inch of paper, and then moved the left armrest faucet and threw the paper into the bottomless pipe.

The paper paper entered the pipe, and finally fell into the ten-zhang underground palace.

The depths of the underground palace are brightly lit, hundreds of people perform their duties and have different divisions of labor, and countless golden lock silk threads are like warp and weft running around.

This is the deepest intelligence agency of the Great Song Dynasty, but all the departments and departments of the imperial court, as well as all the defenders, officials above the rank of captain, can find the archives here.

At the moment when the paper fell into the gold pot, the man in Tsing Yi who was waiting next to him quickly read it, and then carefully put the paper into one of the passages.

At the end of the passage is a dossier compartment, surrounded by shelves with stone walls, already filled with volumes.

A middle-aged man sitting at the table, after reading the content of the paper, then ordered the two subordinates behind him in a deep voice: "East, Xin Chou, three on the left and four on the left!" ”

The strange and obscure words, to the ears of the two subordinates, were extremely precise.

The two of them quickly went to the east side of the library, facing the direction of Xin Chou, and according to the arrangement of each grid, they took out three files in the third and fourth grids on the left.

The middle-aged man quickly flipped through the dossier, extracted the essentials and transcribed them on the slip of paper, and finally put them into a specific gold pot again with the paper he had sent, and slid in the other direction through a wire channel.

The criss-crossing silk thread passage is busy and active because of a piece of paper.

In less than a moment, a piece of paper full of summaries ran through the underground palace from the bottom to the top of the secret pipeline.

A slight metal crash came from the armrest on the right side of the dragon chair.

Ye Yu raised the armrest of the dragon's head, took out the paper and glanced at it, but shook his head: "The wind and snow in the world, don't you just stop......

After speaking, he slowly walked down the imperial steps, silently walked outside the main hall, and raised his eyes to look at the night stars in the south.

After a long time, Ye Yu suddenly opened his mouth and instructed the chamberlain: "Li Yuanhong, the son of the king of Zhennan, enter the palace to meet you!" ”

"Yes!"

The eunuch who was waiting on the side hurriedly left the palace.

Three days have passed in the blink of an eye, and in the past three days, the capital has exploded, and the streets and alleys are talking about the assassination.

Coupled with the fact that Ye Yu did not arrive early for three days, it added a bit of suspicion to this assassination incident.

In the Kyoto South Lane Teahouse, people come and go.

But with a crisp sound of broken porcelain, everyone present was silent.

Immediately afterwards, there was a young man's insult: "It's really annoying, in my Great Song Dynasty Huanghuang Imperial Capital, there are even young people who assassinate the emperor and kill the driver, such a person should be cut with a thousand knives!" ”

"What this brother said is very true, His Majesty has just recovered from the dragon's body, and now he has encountered a villain, which is really worrying, it is said that His Majesty has not been to the court for three days, and even the ministers of the DPRK and China have not summoned ......"

"You say, is it possible that these assassins are the remnants of the rebellion that have not been cleared in the first place?"

"Humph! No matter what kind of force it is, if you dare to assassinate Your Majesty, you will be the enemy of my Great Song Dynasty, and you will never let go of these chaotic ministers and thieves! ”

As soon as the words fell, a person sitting on the north side of the teahouse retorted: "This is impossible, a certain cousin is in Kaifeng Mansion, and I heard that these assassins speak Khitan!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the entire teahouse was boiling!

"What! Khitan! Isn't that Liao? ”

"Didn't the Liao State send an envoy to Beijing for peace talks? And why ......?"

"Humph! How can the barbarians have credibility, among the many collegiate agreements signed by my Great Song Dynasty over the years, which time was not these barbarians the first to tear up? The ambitions of these wolves are really unpunishable! ”

At the mention of foreign assassination, the anger of all the tea guests present obviously increased several times compared to before.

"In the name of paying tribute, but secretly committing an assassination, it is really a treachery and hateful, and this matter must not be resigned!"

"Yes, you can't just give up!"

The anger of the people was high, and they were filled with righteous indignation and could not restrain themselves, and they were bound to gather people to denounce the Wanling Pavilion.

"The so-called friends come from afar, and they are very happy, you are acting so recklessly, isn't it insulting my Great Song Dynasty to treat guests with courtesy?" At this time, a middle-aged Confucian student said something different.

Everyone was stunned at first, and then there was a rebuttal from the crowd: "The Analects is cloudy, make friends with friends, and have faith in words, since the other party has lost their faith, is it still a friend?" ”

"Having said that, the use of etiquette is precious. The way of the first king, Si is beautiful; Small and big because of it, there is something that does not work, know and harmonize, not with etiquette, and it is not feasible! ”

The middle-aged Confucian scholar did not back down, and directly recited two sentences from the Analects, aiming to illustrate a truth, that is, everything should be valued by harmony.

“……”

When most people heard this, they gradually regained some sobriety, after all, what the middle-aged Confucian said also made sense. Although there are still many people who are still resentful, they still suppress it after all.

However, at this moment, the middle-aged Confucian scholar raised his eyebrows coldly and sighed mockingly: "Alas, seeing that the spirit of forgetting righteousness is increasing, the wind of etiquette and education is weakening, and the upward and downward effects are not complying with the ancient precepts, which is really destroying the foundation of my China!" ”

In two simple sentences, not only mocked everyone present, but also directly satirized the current emperor, what is the upward and downward effect, and what is the destruction of my Chinese foundation?

Bang!

As soon as the middle-aged Confucian finished speaking, a cup of tea with a tea cup smashed directly into his face.

Suddenly the water splashed and blood flowed!

"Humph! I respect you as a fellow scholar, and I don't care about you, but you actually mock Your Majesty today, let alone any Chinese foundation, my son can't let you go! ”

"Not bad! If my Great Song Dynasty is not prosperous now, even if everyone in my court knows etiquette, how can foreign barbarians give me the opportunity to say etiquette? ”

"Do you still remember Jingkang's shame, the Jin people treated me like a pig and a dog, and I was like a plaything in sheep's clothing?" One of them was very angry and said, "It's not that we don't follow the etiquette, but we know how to educate the etiquette from time to time!" ”

The middle-aged Confucian pointed at everyone, and the corners of his mouth trembled: "You! You guys! ……”

"Please!"

Everyone tacitly understood each other, and then politely greeted the middle-aged Confucian together.

"You! ……”

The difference in everyone's attitude made the middle-aged Confucian angry, how could he not know that this was deliberately teasing him.

"Fang is the one who has offended Mr., and I sincerely apologize to Mr. here, and we will pay for the cost of Mr.'s diagnosis and medicine."

"Yes, we and others uphold the learning of the saints, and they are also knowledgeable people, so we will never be wronged sir."

Everyone is courteous, and the purpose is to tell the people in front of them: Didn't you say that we don't understand etiquette, then now we will talk to you about etiquette and education.

"You...... You ......"

The middle-aged Confucian was so angry that he blushed his neck, and the blood oozing from his forehead was even more embarrassing.

Then he turned around and left angrily without looking back.

Note: Sansheng writes a couplet, prosperous, incurable, courteous, righteous and shameful; At the end of the chaos, indoctrination, roosters and dogs are still frequent.

The idea of the end of the troubled times, people's faith does not exist, when people only have the idea of living, what kind of courtesy, righteousness and shame do they talk about.

It is recorded in the history books, but it is too far away.

But my grandfather once said that back then, ...... cough cough, eating tree bark and digging wild vegetables, even more stealing is rampant, and there are also cases of devouring children, Feng Xiaogang's "1942" movie seems to be a tragic plot, but it is a beautification after deletion and modification.

Let's ask, what was the etiquette at that time, so in the disaster and chaos times, don't talk about etiquette, righteousness and shame. (. Just Love)
