Chapter 301: A Threat from a Courtier
Lu Chengqi's words pushed the debate to the climax, so much so that Li Ran forgot that his purpose in promoting this argument was just to warn Lu Chengqi not to be bewitched by villains. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info now it seems that this little emperor is very sober, and he is really a little worried.
Prince Fu thought quietly for a while before he said slowly: "Your Majesty, according to what you said, the West is no less than my Central Plains, but I don't know what Your Majesty's countermeasures are?" ”
Wang Zifu's move made it clear that he didn't believe it. No way, some people are so old-fashioned that they don't believe it until they see it with their own eyes. Wang Zifu's idea is very simple, you haven't seen the little emperor with your own eyes, who will believe it when you say it? Hearsay, just to bring down Confucianism, it's not that simple!
Li Ran was originally dizzy by Lu Chengqi, and almost "fell into the way", but fortunately, the words of Wang Zifu woke him up. Yes, the little emperor has ulterior motives, and he cleverly sets up a name to replace the orthodox status of Confucianism, how can he bear it? After Li Ran became vigilant, his eyes changed when he looked at Lu Chengqi.
Lu Chengqi didn't have the fancy intestines of these old fritters, and said with a smile: "I just said, they are still in the civil war, and they have no time to look east." This is where our opportunity lies. But if we stop and wait until their civil strife is over, then I dare not guarantee that something will happen. ”
Wang Zifu still didn't believe it, and questioned: "How can the classics handed down by the ancient sages be changed? Your Majesty, the ministers are stupid and don't know how to start. ”
When Lu Chengqi heard this, he finally tasted something. With this old man, I want to work against him, the emperor! I saw this old man silent before, and I thought that his old god was there, but I didn't expect to come out at the most critical moment to stir up.
Let's talk about being angry, Lu Chengqi is indeed a little angry; Say you understand, you can understand it. Just as the young people of later generations always do not believe in traditional Chinese culture, this old man also does not believe in the doctrines of Confucianism, and can even think that if it were not for Lu Chengqi, he would have criticized it as a "heresy" a long time ago. It can be said that this old man is a defender, a stubborn defender to the extreme, but whenever anyone wants to pry the foundation of Confucianism, this old man will not agree to it first.
Lu Chengqi looked at Prince Fu's wrinkled old face, with silver hair, and he couldn't get angry if he wanted to. Maybe it's been a long time since he came to this time and space, and the Confucian set of rules and rituals has been a little imperceptible, Lu Chengqi finally remembered the virtue of respecting the old and loving the young, and didn't tear his face in person. just said lightly: "The king sacrificial wine is old and unclear, which is understandable. I just hope that what I said today will make some of the rest of the students here listen to it, and half of them will actually do it, then I will be grateful. ”
Wang Anshi was very receptive to new ideas, and after listening to Lu Chengqi's words, he had been thinking hard about it, as if he wanted to come up with some argument on it. Lu Chengqi's eyes were out of the corner of his eye, and he had already seen the demeanor of the two hundred or so people present in his eyes one by one. Seeing that it was Zhang Zai and Wang Anshi, who were historical celebrities, and had a deep reflection on what he said, the rest of the prisoners, except for a few people, all had an attitude of watching the drama and looked indifferent. sighed in his heart: "Sure enough, historical celebrities can leave their names in history, and there are always those who are outstanding." Alas, these prisoners are all for the sake of being officials, where do they know what real Confucianism is? These four books and five classics are just stepping stones for them to become officials. There is no Zhongjin Shi yet, and these four books and five classics still have to be read; Once you have been admitted to the Jinshi, where do you have any energy to study academically? It seems that these are some people who are eager for quick success, and I can't say it, I have to screen it well for the next palace exam......"
These prisoners don't know that their attitude has already laid the foundation for the next imperial examination. The little emperor is a very vengeful person, no one is holding his field today, he has 10,000 ways to toss back to you, see who can have the last laugh?
Just as he was secretly hating, Li Ran spoke again: "Your Majesty, the ministers dare not agree with such things. Confucianism has been orthodox since the Han Dynasty. If such a change is made, the consequences are unpredictable. If His Majesty insists on doing it, the ministers will unite with the scholars of the world and jointly write a letter to implore His Majesty to withdraw his holy will. ”
Li Ran's words are equivalent to tearing his face. Anyway, he, the middle of the imperial history, is a character who offends people. Tearing his face is his strong point, and I don't know how many people hate him in the court. But he still went his own way, because he knew that only he maintained this style, although the little emperor annoyed him, he also knew what he meant to the court, and he would not touch him easily.
When Lu Chengqi heard this, he didn't feel the boss in his heart. This Li Ran and Wang Zifu are wearing a pair of pants, and Wang Zifu is well-informed in the end, giving Li Ran a lot of signals. Otherwise, with Li Ran alone, Lu Chengqi would always be fooled. Now that the prince and Fu are so mixed, Li Ran has cleared his mind and started to fight back.
If you want to say that the emperor is most afraid of things, one is that some people rebel, and the other is that the scholars do not agree with the court. The former can shake the foundation, and the latter is more harmful, and the court will lose fresh blood as a result.
As an emperor, Lu Chengqi is naturally very concerned about these two things. Hearing Li Ran's threat, although Lu Chengqi was angry, he had no power to resist, and secretly said that he was still impulsive, and he couldn't find any excuse to prevaricate for a while, which made the atmosphere on the scene very embarrassing.
Li Ran's "iron-clad" image made many prisoners look sideways, and many people flaunted it for a while.
Lu Chengqi picked up the teacup, drank a few sips of tea that he didn't know what it tasted like, and then put down the cup for a long time and said, "Li Qing's words are serious, where did I think about denying the orthodoxy of Confucianism?" Well, since everyone can't listen to me, then I don't mean anything here......"
Speaking of this, Lu Chengqi gave the personal little eunuch a look. The little eunuch was also clever, and he suddenly understood: "Your Majesty, seeing that it is almost noon, it is time to go back to the palace for dinner......
Lu Chengqi threw an appreciative look, followed his words, and went down this step: "You go on, I still have state affairs to deal with, and I have returned to the palace." ”
The personal little eunuch hurriedly tightened his throat and shouted: "The emperor is driving!" ”
Lu Chengqi took the lead in the front, and Li Ran, Wang Zifu, Zhang Zai, Wang Anshi and many prisoners in the back all stood up and gave a long salute, and said together: "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" ”
After speaking, Zhang Zai and Wang Anshi glanced at each other, and Wang Anshi immediately said: "Being able to argue with Brother Zihou and Li Zhongcheng today is really a great pleasure in life." Jiefu still has some chicken feathers in his family, begging for goodbye. "Anyway, following the royal guards, there is also a national eunuch.
Zhang Zai also followed and said: "Zihou is in the Royal University, and there are still classes that must be rushed back, I hope you will forgive me." ”
After finishing speaking, as if he had fled, he caught up with Wang Anshi's footsteps and left the country.
Wang Zifu and Li Ran were in place, looking at each other, and they both saw the worry in each other's eyes. (To be continued.) )
