Shi Bufan continued to copy books in his own way, obviously because he was not satisfied if he did not copy all the books in the Hongwen Museum. Even under the impetus of Shi Bufan, the students of the four schools also went to copy the books in the four schools and those in the Guozijian, and then printed them in the library and borrowed them in large quantities. And this will definitely cause a lot of dissatisfaction, even more so for those nobles, who will definitely not let go of the extraordinary. However, Shi Bufan was prepared, because he was not afraid of these guys, because Shi Bufan knew that no matter what he did, he would not be able to gain their approval, so why should it be like this? Shi Bufan didn't care, and the time soon came to more than ten days later.

On July 15, the ninth year of the Tang Dynasty, today is the day of the Tang Dynasty's second year, and the officials above the ninth rank in Chang'an will go to the Taiji Palace to participate in the court.

"I've seen the emperor!" Everyone saluted together.

"What's important to you? If there is no important matter to discuss together, then please go back to work! Li Shimin said.

There is no much complexity in the court, just come to say hello, generally most of the things come to meet, if there is no major event, they will return to their respective departments to work, it is impossible to leave official duties here for a long time and the emperor grinding foreign work. If you have to grind foreign workers, it's definitely a big deal.

"Your Majesty, Chu Suiliang, a scholar of the Chenhong Library, please ask the emperor to deal with one matter in person. The minister asked the emperor to severely punish my Hongwenguan school secretary Lang Shiextraordinary, he wantonly stole books in my Hongwenguan, and even took a large group of students from the four schools to steal books, which is really an unforgivable crime. Please ask the emperor to punish him severely. According to the laws of my Tang Dynasty, as a school secretary of Hongwenguan, he is actually a prison official, and he is guarding and stealing, so he should be severely punished. Please ask the emperor to say that the time is extraordinary and the punishment will be hanged, and the law of the country will be corrected! Chu Suiliang said directly.

The people present had a lot of discussions, and many people had also heard of this thing, that is, Shi Bufan mobilized the students of the four schools to copy books, and then printed them as the library's collection, and lent them to ordinary poor students to see. For this, many Shi clan officials were also very dissatisfied, but they did not take the initiative to come forward. They are self-conscious, unfit and unfit to compete with the times. But at this time, Chu Suiliang came out, so that they also had the idea of watching a good show, because this time Chu Suiliang was accused of stealing, and it was a prison guard stealing!

In the Tang Dynasty, the punishment for self-theft by officials was very strict, and the punishment for self-theft was more severe and the sentence was heavier than that of outsiders. Wealth worth thirty pieces of silk can also be hanged, and it is considered to be death.

Shi Bufan scolded in his heart: "Chu Suiliang, you are such a bastard, you actually want me to die if you open your mouth!" What crime do you use, you actually use this crime, and as soon as you open your mouth, you are asking Li Shimin to hang me, you want my life? It seems that in your heart, there is no reverence for life at all, and sooner or later I will have to clean you up! ”

Shi Bufan knew that this Chu Suiliang seemed to want his own life, and this Chu Suiliang opened his mouth to mean that he wanted his own life, and he was going to kill himself at every turn. Although this guy complained, he wanted to be executed, which shows that this Chu Sui does not have much reverence for life in his conscience. If you have reverence for life, then you should know the truth of being a human being and leaving a line, and you will not admit to being executed if you just open your mouth and close your mouth so much. Even if in later life, if the political struggle fails, at most it will be a prison sentence, and it will rarely be dragged to be shot. This shows that in later civilizations, human beings have a lot of reverence for life. If a person has a reverence for life, it is impossible to open his mouth and close his mouth to die. This Chu Suiliang directly wanted to kill Shi Bufan, so that Shi Bufan knew that he had no reverence for life at all. Or, Chu Suiliang didn't regard Shi Bufan as an equal person at all, he was still very arrogant about Shi Bufan in his bones, and looked down on Shi Bufan, so he didn't think it was a serious matter to open his mouth and close his mouth to kill Shi Bufan. Because he looked down on Shi Bufan, he looked down on Shi Bufan's life, so he naturally opened his mouth and closed his mouth and said that he wanted to kill Shi Bufan.

Therefore, Shi Bufan knew that he would never be able to let go of Chu Suiliang in the future, Chu Suiliang was such a person who had no reverence for life, and let him go up, it would not be a blessing for the people. Or, few of these scholars have a reverence for life, and perhaps they are very tolerant of those who are also scholars. But for those ordinary people, there is no reverence at all, in their eyes ordinary people are just untouchables, and if they die, they will die.

"Your Majesty, please defend yourself!" Shi Bufan came out and said.

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Speak!" ”

Of course Li Shimin knows the intentions of this Chu Suiliang, and of course Li Shimin knows that Shi Bufan is copying books, and there is such a big movement in the four disciplines, who doesn't know the problems here? However, Li Shimin adopted the "four noes" strategy of not asking, not interfering, not blocking, and not encouraging, so that Shi Bufan could copy the book. For Li Shimin, the emperor, the scholar clan monopolized the imperial court, which was also very dissatisfied. Perhaps he had to rely on the nobles before ascending to the throne, but now he was not satisfied with the result. Therefore, it is necessary to open the imperial examination, and it is necessary to popularize culture, so that is the best way.

Shi Bufan's library plan is really suitable, which can reduce the cost of reading as much as possible for all people in the world. Originally, reading was a matter for rich people, but now even ordinary people can do it, and people don't have to work hard to accumulate a year to buy a book. Now you can take out a very small part of your wealth, and you can also read books. Although the ownership still belongs to the library, as long as you learn knowledge, you don't have to care too much about who owns the books. Books are just carriers of knowledge, so don't worry too much about it.

In the past ten days, although Li Shimin has not done anything on the surface, he has actually begun to do it. Li Shimin told Wei Chigong to strengthen the law and order in Chang'an in order to prevent those various scholars from sabotaging it openly and secretly. Li Shimin secretly encouraged Wei Chigong to strengthen law and order to prevent those scholars from sending domestic servants and some gangsters to smash the library and interfere with their work.

However, Li Shimin is also very clear now that it is not appropriate for him to come forward to encourage this kind of thing, otherwise he will offend many scholars. Therefore, as the emperor, it is not suitable to come forward directly, so Shi Bufan is willing to do things for him, so he naturally secretly encourages him in the back. Now the court is still the world of the scholars, and the ordinary scholars of the Hanmen Shu clan have not been able to rise well, so they still have to endure it for the time being. But in the future, once the culture is popularized, those scholars can clean them up whenever they want.

Now Chu Suiliang came out to sue Shi Bufan, and wanted to put Shi Bufan to death, so he was obviously referring to Sang and scolding Huai! wants to use time to warn Li Shimin, there are many doorways here. Therefore, Li Shimin knows very well that now Shi Bufan wants to defend himself, of course, he must be given a chance. Li Shimin knew that Shi Bufan was eloquent, so he was naturally not afraid that Shi Bufan would have problems.

"Your Majesty, Master Chu sued me for stealing books, but I want to ask Master Chu, am I a thief?" Shi Bufan asked rhetorically.

Chu Suiliang immediately asked: "You steal books, isn't this theft?" ”

"Hey, this one is weird, when did I steal? The pen, ink, paper, and inkstone used to copy books were all prepared by myself, and neither I nor the students of the four schools used any of the pen, ink, paper, and inkstones of the Hongwen Hall and the four schools, and everything was prepared by myself. Therefore, this is really unreasonable. After we finished copying the book, not only did we not damage it, but we put it back untouched. The books of this Hongwen Pavilion and the Four Men Xue Guo Zijian have not been displaced with any space, and they have not left the Hongwen Pavilion Four Men Xue Guo Zijian, how can you determine that I am stealing? Shi Bufan asked.

Chu Suiliang asked rhetorically: "You copied down the words of those books, isn't it stealing books?" You don't have to be clever in your words, even if you use this way of copying, you can't cover up your sin of self-theft! ”

"Hahahaha, Master Chu, it seems that you don't know much about the law, right? The so-called theft, I think, is the theft of something valuable. If it's something you can't see or touch, how can it be considered theft? Stealing, that's something you can see and touch. A bag of grain, you can see and touch. A piece of cloth that can be seen and touched. But you say that I stole books, which is simply unreasonable. We didn't take the books of the four schools of Hongwenguan, so how can it be regarded as stealing? Shi Bufan asked.

Chu Suiliang asked rhetorically: "Then you copied the books of our Hongwen Pavilion, isn't this something you can see and touch?" ”

"Master Chu, what you said is not right. The pen and ink I use to copy books are my own things. Is there a problem with me using my own pen and ink on my own paper? I use my own pen, ink and paper to write, and you can handle this? I don't seem to have a rule that I can't write with my own pen, ink and paper, right? Although the place where I write is in Hongbunkan, you can't say that I am a thief! Shi Bufan asked rhetorically.

Chu Suiliang said again: "Then you are copying books, aren't you stealing?" These books are all from the imperial court, and you copied them down without authorization, isn't this stealing the classic collection of the imperial court and stealing the knowledge of the imperial court? So, this is really a theft. ”

Shi Bufan still replied calmly: "Master Chu, you said that knowledge can be stolen?" Knowledge can only be learned by seeing it with the eyes. So you say that I copied those books, read the books with my eyes and then transcribed them, so I stole the knowledge of the imperial court. If one day I see Mrs. Zun, and after I see Mrs. Zun, I draw Mrs. Zun's face, is that what I stole from Mrs. Zun? ”

"Hahaha......"

Hearing this, some military generals with a low level of education suddenly burst out laughing, Shi Bufan's words were too funny.

And Li Shimin also held back a smile and thought to himself: "This Shi Bufan's mouth is too damaged, what kind of metaphor is not good, but I use this metaphor." I'm afraid that Chu Suiliang will be mad this time. ”

Sure enough, Chu Suiliang's face turned red, which was obviously a precursor to going crazy. Shi Bufan's use of this metaphor is really a direct insult to him without dirty words, Shi Bufan uses his words to see with his eyes, and then uses paper, pen and ink to paint and paint again, which can be regarded as stealing. But Shi Bufan used this analogy to say that if he saw his wife and drew it with pen and ink, wouldn't he also be saying that Shi Bufan stole his wife. Shi Bufan's this is deliberate, and there are many ways to give examples of Shi Bufan, even if it's just a green one. A woman in the building, or a dancer or something. But Shi Bufan deliberately used Chu Suiliang's wife as an example, this was definitely deliberately scolding him. This method of swearing is still never swearing.

"You, you, you, you ......" Chu Sui pointed at Shi Bufan angrily, and then couldn't say a word.

However, Shi Bufan did not intend to let him go, and then said: "Anything that is valuable can be convicted of theft of value." According to the law of my Tang Dynasty, if the prison guards steal more than 30 pieces of wealth, they will be hanged. That's right, Dai Xuan Shaoqing? ”

Dai Guan, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, said again: "That's right, the prison officer and the supervisor stole thirty silks and hanged them!" ”

Shi Bufan asked again: "Master Chu Suiliang, you said that I insisted on taking my own responsibility and should be hanged." But I was very curious, according to the rules, the prison officials guarded the place where they stole more than 30 pieces of wealth, so how much wealth was worth of my theft? Of course, since it is to be decided, then I should know how much knowledge I have stolen, and how much wealth is this knowledge worth? Master Chu Suiliang, please help me calculate, how much wealth is the value of the knowledge I stole? As long as you can say a value, then I will also be killed on the spot and confess my sins! So, please take an inventory of how much wealth the knowledge lost by the Hongwen Pavilion, so please give me a clear indication of the value of the knowledge lost by the Hongwen Pavilion! Otherwise, how can I confess my sins and subdue the law, as long as you can count and calculate, then I am willing to confess my sins and subjugate the law, there is no other thing! ”

"How's that, Master Chu Suiliang?"

Shi Bufan's last question was obviously very polite, obviously forcing Chu Suiliang to say a number, after all, everything has to be sentenced to death, and it must have a stolen wealth value! If there is no value in stealing, how can a person be convicted? Therefore, Shi Bufan asked this Chu Suiliang to put forward the value of those knowledge, and then convict Shi Bufan.

When the officials next to him heard Shi Bufan's words, they immediately scolded in their hearts: "This Shi Bufan is really a stream. Hooligans, a literate stream. Hooligans! ”
