Chapter 31 Scholars Kill with Knives and Pens
"Big Bear and Ah Dog will follow Qiu Bo to see the excitement, well, you don't need to go back early, be careful not to get lost" Dugu Xinci was ready to walk to the imperial city with Wen Wei and the two Langjun, because the crowd outside was too crowded, if you take a carriage, I am afraid it will be difficult to move an inch, so I ordered the two guards before leaving.
Huber narrowed his eyes and nodded.
The three Lang Jun are all round-necked, white-robed and black-headed, Wen Yu is gentle and mellow, Wei Bin is handsome and extraordinary, Dugu is kind and charming, and the three of them can be called the dragon and phoenix among people when they walk together, but when they go out of the Qinren Fangfang, no one looks back at the three of them.
First of all, there are too many people, and there are still two squares away from the imperial city, but there are already crowds, rubbing shoulders, walking a little slower, and the people behind will bump into it.
Second, most of the street is a scholar, each of them has been carefully dressed, whether into the first or not into the first, into the first need to participate in the court, naturally need to dress up, not into the first, but also need to clean up, in order to attract the attention of the nobles on the street.
Walking to the street in front of the Vermilion Bird Gate is the crowd pushing and moving, Dugu Xinci looked, did not turn to the Suzaku Gate, but went straight, through the Chunmingmen Street, along the root of the Imperial City to the East Gate of the Imperial City Jingfeng Gate, there are really few people here, but unfortunately do not let ordinary scholars in.
Dugu Xinci and Wen Wei, the two Lang Jun, stood aside unhurriedly, watching several scholars go away and return to the Vermilion Bird Gate.
"San Lang is not the only one in this world who is a smart person," Wei Erlang sarcastically said.
"Hehe," Dugu Xinci did not refute, and when the flow of people around him was a little less, he stepped forward to show Chengmen Lang his Lijingmen Keqing gold medal, Chengmenlang looked at it, and called a few Lijingmen hairpins who were guarding this door, and the two hairpins came out to see, yes, know, dare to blackmail the heir of the Liaoyang County King of Liaoyang County, the general manager of Lijingmen, Qi Guogong Feng Yiyuan.
The hairpins of Lijingmen respectfully lined up to welcome the guests into the imperial city, and the two Langjun of Wen Wei followed, and the hairpins did not dare to stop them.
"There are still many good people in this world," Dugu Xinci sighed.
"That's a murderer's reputation," Wei Erlang also heard the story of Dugu Saburo blackmailing Lijingmen's money.
"Slandered" Dugu Xinci insisted on not admitting it.
Jingfengmen entered the imperial city, the left hand is the outer library courtyard, the right hand is the military superintendent, the three of them went to the south courtyard of the Ministry of Rites, and the three hundred and thirty-three jinshi who entered the first were in the south courtyard of the Ministry of Rites, and then led by the director of the Ministry of Rites to enter the palace to participate in the court.
The three of them were the last few Jinshi to be admitted to the hospital, and they consciously stood at the end of the line.
Dugu Xinci looked around, there were still Jin Wuwei soldiers on guard, four or five heads of the Ministry of Rites were waiting solemnly, the leader of the Jinshi team was a few handsome people, Wei Erlang quietly introduced, the left hand is Hedong Liu Ziqing who launched the joint book, the right hand is Wang Xuan, the son of the Duke of Jin, and the middle is Yang Qiu, the little sword god of the Sword God Mansion, and then one by one identify Du Juan of Shaolingyuan, Luoyang Zuyong, Jiang Qingchu, Jiang Qingchu, Bianzhou Cui Hao, and Bohai Gaoshi, Hedong Wang's Kunzhong scientific expedition, these are the first two list of people.
The three of them are the top three on the first list, since someone looks at them, disdain, envy, jealousy, and so on, when the day is approaching, the head of the Ministry of Rites cleans up his clothes, and announces that he is ready to enter the Hanyuan Hall of the Daming Palace to participate in the Great Dynasty Meeting, everyone looks shocked, some pretend to be indifferent, some are excited, and the three directors of the Ministry of Rites are indifferent in their chests, and they are not in a hurry to lead the team forward.
Daming Palace, which is the main hall of the Yan and Tang Empires, is located in the Longshouyuan on the north side of Chang'an. It is the most splendid and magnificent building complex in modern times, and the largest of the three major Miyagi castles.
Hanyuan Hall belongs to the first main hall of the former dynasty of Daming Palace, built in Longshuo three years, destroyed on New Year's Day, winter solstice, most of the saints hold a big pilgrimage here.
The team actually went out of the imperial city from Jingfeng Gate, where the three of them had just entered, went north through the three squares of Yongxing Yongchang Guangzhai, and turned east to Danfeng Gate to enter Daming Palace.

The front of the hall is divided into Xiangluan, Qifeng two pavilions, the two sides of the hall are the second floor of the bell and drum, there is a flying corridor between the hall, the pavilion and the floor, it is the development of the "que" system since the Zhou and Han dynasties. On both sides of the Hanyuan Palace, there is a dragon tail road that leans against the platform wall and spirals up under the two pavilions of Xiangluan and Qifeng. Hanyuan Hall combines the high pavilion of the main hall on the "concave" shaped plane, echoes each other, the outline rises and falls, the volume is huge, the momentum is magnificent, cheerful and brilliant, and it is extremely rich in spiritual deterrence. Some people describe its spirit as "like the rising sun" and "like in the sky", showing the spirit of the prosperous era of Yan and Tang.
Most of the scholars saw such a magnificent palace for the first time, and they were all in a state of flux, only Wang Xuan, the son of the Duke of Jin, and Jiang Qingchu, the son of the Duke of Chu, watched coldly, but they came to the Daming Palace with their father and brother many times to see the saint.
Dugu Xinci follows the trend of the public, and the surprise is amazing, and it is no different from the others.
The four hundred steps in front of the Hanyuan Palace, the square square is also full of blue-robed officials and pilgrimage envoys from various countries, two columns of golden armor and gold guards stand with a lance, and the middle is paved with a wide red carpet, which extends to the golden water canal in front of the main hall.
The golden canal is about three steps wide, there are three bridges, the central one is about twenty steps wide, and the bridge decks on both sides are also four or five steps wide, with blue brick paving and white jade carved railings.
Everyone walked forward from the bridge on the left, and the north of the bridge was still a large square, full of green-robed officials, which were the color of Yan Tang's six or seven official uniforms, at least hundreds of people.
Continue to cross the Yongdao that Jin Wuwei is lined up into, come to the front steps of the main hall, there are three steps at the base of the tower of the Yuan Palace, three steps go straight up, there are nearly 20 steps wide in the middle, this is the royal road, do not do it if you are not willing, the two sides are the dragon tail road, nearly 50 steps long, just like the dragon was born and hangs its tail, it is extremely spectacular.
Continue to go up along the dragon tail road on the right to the front porch of the main hall of Hanyuan Palace, and the guards under the corridor are replaced by Qianniuwei.
The three hundred and thirty-three jinshi under the corridor rested for a while, and the leader entered the hall to make a report, and then a eunuch shouted loudly, "Xuanzhong Jinshi is coming"
The remaining two directors of the Ministry of Rites led three columns of 333 Jinshi into the hall.
The overall width of the Hanyuan Hall is 500 steps, and there are more than 400 steps wide in the main hall, six rooms deep, and 81 steps.
The hall is also full of crimson and purple robes to serve courtiers, the left and right sides of the text are divided into two sides, each has nine columns, the central four columns of purple robes are sitting on the case, and the people in the red robes are also sitting on the ground, there are about more than 300 people.
In the middle is also a five-step wide red carpet, which extends to the jade steps in front of the dragon seat of Yan Hong, the sage of Yan and Tang Dynasty.
Three hundred and thirty-three jinshi marched with the two principals to the first ten steps of the jade stairs and stood still.
"In the autumn of the first year of Kaiyuan, 333 people brought to meet the saint, Yantang Qianqiu" The head of the team leader invited the saint to review.
The three hundred and thirty-three jinshi have their heads held high, some of them are excited, and most of them are like Dugu Xinci who bowed their heads and made quail shapes.
Dugu Xinci, who fell at the end of the team, bowed his head and was inconspicuous.
"Meet Your Majesty the Sage, Yan Tang Qianqiu" All the Jinshi stood solemnly and bowed their hands to meet him.
After about two or three breaths, a gentle loud laughter came from the jade steps, "All the Jinshi don't have to be polite"
All the jinshi looked up at the saint, the saint was still wearing a crown, hanging white jade beads string twelve, with the group as a tassel, hanging on the crown, hanging next to the ears, to show that they did not want to listen to right and wrong, and led to a hosta. Dressed in black, light red, embroidered with twelve crests.
There are two separate sides in front of the saint on the jade steps, a purple robe with an old man sitting, a nineteen crowns and nine chapters of the young man kneeling, this is the prince of the dynasty, and two or eight crowns and seven chapters of the young man, one of whom is the martial king who met in the star tower the day before yesterday.
The sage smiled, pointed to the Jinshi and said, "Yao Qing, how was this Jinshi compared to Zhuer and the others?" ”
The old man in the purple robe was actually the former Zhongshu Ling, the prime minister of Liang Guogong, Yao Chong, and Yao Yuanzhi.
Dugu Xinci looked at it, and it was actually the old man who had tuberculosis in front of the Suzaku Gate that day.
Liang Guogong Yao Chong smiled, "Now Haiqing Heyan, this branch Junyan is even more virtuous, a certain sigh of self-praise, congratulations to the saint to wear hazel and orchid, bag to collect jade, Yan Tang Qianqiu"
The tone is loud and there is no stagnation.
"Haha," the sage laughed, "Today, Yan Tang has so many good talents, and Yao Qing is also in good health, which is really the blessing of Yan Tang."
The hall was full of Zhu Zi, and the courtiers all congratulated in unison.
"Yan Tang is a scholar by talent, and you are all a handsome man, you should serve the country with loyalty, and seek benefits for the people to encourage him" The sage also encouraged all the scholars.
All the Jinshi promised.
The saint brushed his beard and smiled.
"Jiabang Jinshi Liu Ziqing, please punish the thief and the minister" Just when the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were praising the peace, Liu Ziqing, the left in front of the Jinshi queue, crossed the head of the team leader and shouted loudly.
The hall was silent for a moment, and the sage squinted at the Jinshi of the first rank under the steps, muttered for a moment and laughed loudly, "I have another Song Guangping, and I will present it." ”
Song Guangping, Song Jingye, was a provincial servant on the spot, upright, stubborn, selfless, and dared to commit a direct admonition.
Liu Ziqing was tall and strong, handsome and magnificent, and the ministers also seconded and praised him.
Liu Ziqing handed over the music to the eunuchs who were connected with the lower ranks, and then chanted loudly
"In order to be grateful for the grace of heaven and sacrifice one's life to repay the situation, begging for the holy judgment to punish the treacherous and dangerous and clever people, and the authoritarian thieves and ministers to govern the Qing Dynasty and eliminate the troubles on the border.
Ministers view Liaoyang County King Dugu Zhen's heir Dugu Tianxing,"
All the ministers were shocked, they thought that they would impeach a county government official for this bullet, but when they heard the name of the king of Liaoyang County, this white-clothed jinshi was really bold, and the first staff actually pointed directly at the county king.
Dugu Zhen originally belonged to the fifth seat of Wenchen on the left, heard his name, got up and went out of the ranks, knelt on the red carpet and knocked his head on the ground, bowed to the saint, and took off the crown of Jinxian, and knelt with the crown in his right hand.
"Stealing power and stealing handles, misleading the country and harming the people," Liu Ziqing continued to recite.
Dugu Xinci sighed, stepped forward quickly, and the queen of Dugu County also knelt on her knees and bowed, thinking about it, she also took off her head and held it in her right hand, kneeling upright.
Everyone didn't know what it meant, and Liu Ziqing was also surprised, but he still recited in a clear voice:
"Bullying the king, the number one thief in the world! Last year, he was the most thief outside. thieves, border thieves, scabies; The thief of the stars, the coward of the court, and the harm of the henchmen. Those who steal the stars are wanton and greedy, referring to public wealth as a bag; Dare to punish Ai, and regard the child as grass. By virtue of the boss of the tomb, the conclusion of the same kind. Angry people at home and abroad, resentful of the people of the rivers and lakes. Fang Guang bribed the widow and ridiculed it. Therefore, the son of the Liu clan in Hedong invited the thief Tianxing. ”
This is an endless word, the Manchu Dynasty Zhu Zi courtiers know it in their hearts, looking at the two old and one young kneeling in the hall, this young man should be the prince of Liaoyang County, I don't know if it is the Dugu Tianxing, but how can he be out of the ranks?
Some careful people also found that the majestic and handsome Jinshi Liu Ziqing impassionedly read out the recital, and the two kneeling old and young were actually pale-headed, Liaoyang County Wang Duguzhen was more than forty years old, and his official duties were hard-working, and his gray hair was born suddenly, but there was also a reason, but this young man was also gray and black, and his face was only thirty years, right?
The father and son of the king of Liaoyang County knelt with their heads open, and the high-spirited Jinshi read out the guilt, but this situation did not have a great sense of happiness, but there was a sudden tragedy.
"Adultery, greed, ferocity, and cruelty to the fields are also a crime
Initiating border affairs without permission and spending military funds is also the second crime
Rage and murder, thousands of miles of red land, three crimes
Privately accumulating subordinates, forming a party for personal gain, and committing four crimes
Sexual barbarians, unlearned, and unskilled, and guilty of five crimes
Eliminating dissidents and abusing and killing good people is also a six-crime crime
Risking and disguising one's merits and not being restrained is also guilty of seven crimes
Bullying the subject country, fornicating with foreign vassals, and committing eight crimes
Flouting the law and discipline and killing people in the city are also guilty of nine crimes
Bullying the prince, there is no king, and there are ten crimes"
As soon as the ten sins came out, the Manchu civil and military forces included the newly promoted Jinshi, the crown prince and prince of the ranks, and Yao Chong, the prince of Liang
Gu gasped, any of these charges are enough to be questioned?
"Once the inner thief is gone, and the outer thief is removed, what is the peace in the world! Therefore, the minister wants to give up the death of the picture and must be anxious to please the thief and the minister, and then the responsibility of the thief and the thief is the emperor's business, the minister feels that the emperor knows the thickness of the encounter can not bear it, the emperor can not forget the grace of regeneration, and is grateful for the landless, so he does not avoid death. ”
Liu Ziqing made a generous speech, feeling that his blood was boiling, and he looked at the two kneeling people, smiling solemnly.
There was a dead silence in the Hanyuan Palace, about four or five breaths, the sage rubbed his eyebrows, and handed over the thief minister who had read it once to Yao Chong, Yao Chong waved his hand, and let Song Jing, the first servant of Wenchen.
Song Jing took the song, didn't look at it, and asked sharply, "Who is kneeling?" ”
Dugu Zhen ignored it, and Dugu Xinci knew that this was asking himself
"Today's Kejin Shi Dugu Xinci knocks to see the saint and Song Xianggong"
"Dugu Xinci? Why do you kneel? Song Jing continued to ask.
"A certain is the heir of the prince of Liaoyang County, and the heir father kneels because of a certain one, and a certain accompanies him"
"You are the heir of the king of Liaoyang County?" The saint also came to be interested, and Dugu Xinci secretly pouted.
"Hui saint, a certain is the heir of the king of Liaoyang County"
"The impeachment of Dugu Tianxing by Soshu is also you?" Song Jing Xianggong then asked.
"Exactly so-and-so"
"A certain crime of going to Dugu Tianxing again, stealing a name and surname, deceiving courtiers, and committing eleven crimes" Liu Ziqing on the side reacted quickly, and was not triumphant about his own eagerness.
"A certain confession" did not wait for Dugu Xinci to refute, Dugu Zhen paused again, and Dugu Xinci had to accompany him to kowtow.
"This is not a fault, this is a great crime of deception, and it should be punished" Liu Ziqing shouted loudly, and the whole hall echoed.
"Duguqing, do you have anything to say?" The sage said gently.
"If you have nothing to say, please punish the saint" Duguzhen continued to pause, and Dugu Xinci also accompanied him for the third time.
"Ministers, how should this matter be handled?" The saint was helpless and asked the courtiers.
"The evidence of this recital is conclusive, and it should be dealt with according to the law" At this time, a Zhu robe on the left side of the minister came out of the column, and he held a volume of sparse "In the imperial history, Cheng Tang Xiulong has submitted a recital, and has also asked the thief and the minister to sparse his name, and he has also been involved in the ten crimes of Dugu Tianxing, and the detailed evidence is listed, and I hope that the saint and the public will be clear"
The saint waved his hand, and the imperial eunuch descended to take over the recital.
The saint did not say a word, but silently examined it.
Tea Kung Fu, Hanyuan Hall is silent, but it still seems to echo the passionate chant of Jinshi Liu Ziqing "Please punish the thief Tianxing"
