Two or three hundred scholars knocked on the book, causing a sensation in the whole city.

This was what some of the people who were secretly pushing the flames wanted to see, but now, the black hands had retracted, and they had become anxious because of it.

Hundreds of scholars knocked on the king's traitorous ministers, but the palace was unusually calm, as calm as before the storm, and this calm made some people feel suffocated.

The scholar dared to do this, mainly because of Qin Mu's connivance, and his will not to discuss the crime, plus there were people behind the scenes from the beginning, and finally in the first month of the second year of Qin, this sensational incident occurred across the country.

In the imperial study, Sima An, who was pointed at by the spearhead, asked with a somewhat solemn expression: "King Qin expected that there would be a knock on the Que early on, right?" ”

"Nope." The thumb of Qin Mu's right hand slowly moved from the middle finger to the index finger, and replied calmly, "This king is also quite surprised by this matter. ”

Sima An couldn't see that he was surprised, got up and said deeply: "The minister is pointed out by the thousand husbands, and he is no longer in the position of the first assistant, please ask the king of Qin to return to his hometown." ”

Qin Mu raised his eyebrows and said in a non-trivial manner, "You still plan to continue to oppose this king, right?" Today, the king might as well say again that the king has no intention of changing customs. ”

"But what King Qin is going to do is actually break the old moral norms."

Qin Mu suddenly slapped the table and shouted, "What if it's broken?" This king is the lord of a country, and the so-called norms must be determined by this king! Do you want to say goodbye to your hometown? Forbid! ”

"King Qin!"

"Needless to say, I have made up my mind on this matter, you can not understand it, but you must accept it." Pastor Qin took a long breath, and said in a slightly softened tone, "In three or two years, you can go back and see if what this king did today is right." ”

Seeing that Qin Mu insisted on going his own way. Sima An couldn't help but sigh secretly. He knew very well that Qin Mu was slowly taking power, and this was all the result of their opposition.

From the time he prescribed the "sobering prescription", he assisted Qin Mu step by step to today, and all along, Qin Mu's trust in him was unreserved, and there was a tacit understanding between the monarch and the minister.

Qin Mu often came to the battle formation in person, leaving the rear for him, and he also withstood the pressure again and again. stabilized the rear for Qin Mu.

His feelings for Qin Mu are very complicated, not only the righteousness of a monarch and a minister, but also mixed with some feelings similar to that of father and son, which I am afraid that the monarchs and ministers of all dynasties do not have.

Qin Mu didn't treat him badly, he himself was in the position of the first assistant, not to mention, his son Sima Kai had not yet entered the office, he was taken by Qin Mu's side, and now he was promoted to a Shujishi, according to the Ming system. The Kujishi was equivalent to a reserve officer for the internal auxiliaries.

It can be said that the Sima family has been tightly tied to Qin Mu and this emerging country, sharing honor and disgrace.

Qin Mu took over power this time, although it was not necessarily aimed at him. But there must be dissatisfaction with his lack of cooperation.

Could it be that there is really a gap between the monarch and the minister?

Out of his understanding of Qin Mu, he knew that Qin Mu was determined this time, if he didn't take a step back. Then this gap will be bridged again

Outside the palace, two or three hundred scholars knelt on the ground, and outside were black and oppressive people came to watch. The streets and alleys were jammed, and even the trees and walls were full of people, and the noise was like a tidal wave.

Han Zanzhou walked out with a few small yellow gates, surrounded by twenty guards, and the noise outside suddenly fell silent, everyone thought that the king of Qin had come out, but when they saw only a few eunuchs coming out, the scholars kneeling outside couldn't help but be disappointed.

Han Zanzhou walked to the steps of the gate, gently brushed the dust in his hand, closed it between his left arm, and then said loudly: "The king of Qin has a purpose: all the scholars care about state affairs and serve the country with their fists, and this king already knows it;

Only when the scholars learn literature, the peasants cultivate, the workers make tools, and the merchants trade and trade can only operate normally. Ladies and gentlemen, go back and study in peace!

At this stage, you should devote your energy to studying Wen Taowu Strategy, and in the future, when you succeed in your studies, you will not have the opportunity to serve the country."

When Han Zanzhou said this, it has already caused an uproar, hundreds of people have knelt for a long time, but in exchange for such a result, teach them how to be willing?

What's more, they pointed out that there was a traitor in the court, and if this traitor did not fall and continued to occupy a high position, wouldn't he turn around and attack them?

Two or three hundred scholars couldn't persuade them, they shouted King Qin one after another, Han Zanzhou didn't dare to order a forcible expulsion, and after persuading him for a while, he saw that it didn't work, and hurriedly entered the house to ask Qin Mu for instructions.

Qin Mu frowned, he can give the reader the freedom to discuss, but the nature of this matter is completely different, if hundreds of scholars are allowed to make such a fuss, the imperial court will comply with their wishes, remove the first assistant, and belittle the minister, this is not a matter of discussing whether the scholar is free or not, this is to let the will of the scholar override the imperial court, and the nature is completely different.

Moreover, there are two such things, and in the future, as soon as the scholars do not hide it, they will come to knock on the book, and ask for the derogation of this minister today, and ask for the derogation of that minister tomorrow, isn't that a mess?

And this will bring a bad atmosphere, in case the sergeants of the army follow the same example, and if they are slightly dissatisfied, they will gather the crowd and rise up, then Daqin will not be able to die.

"Spread the will of the king, let the prince of the country sacrifice wine Luo Wanzao Wan come to bring the prisoners back, and if the other scholars disobey the decree, they will all be removed from their reputation."

Qin Mu's attitude was so tough, which surprised Sima An, and he immediately persuaded: "King Qin, no, this move will not only not calm the situation, but will only further intensify the situation." ”

Sima An's words reminded Qin Mu of a phenomenon, in the Ming generation, scholars took pleasure in being beaten by the board and the court cane, and the harder you come, the more they will resist, and they are not even afraid of death. There is a big head that can be broken, blood can be shed, and faith cannot be changed.

Indeed, if the two or three hundred scholars outside do not back down and continue to persist at the cost of being removed from their fame, then this will be a result of two defeats and injuries, and they will lose the fame of several hundred people at a time, which will cause great damage to their own prestige.

Qin Mu thought about it, picked up a pen and wrote down a question and handed it to Han Zanzhou, telling him to go out and do so.

Han Zanzhou took Qin Mu's question back to the gate of the palace again, and shouted loudly to the scholars outside the palace: "The king of Qin wants to test all the scholars, if you answer it, the king of Qin will consider the suggestions of the scholars; If you can't answer, it means that you should also focus on your studies, please go back to study immediately, and serve the court in the future. Ladies and gentlemen, are you willing to accept the examination of King Qin? ”

The people around the audience were boiling, knocking on the book became like this, unheard of for eternity, interesting, really interesting, people shouted loudly, asking the two scholars who knocked on the book to accept the examination.

Two or three hundred scholars looked at each other, can they not accept it, and if they dare not accept it, it means that you are a group of rice buckets, and what qualifications do a group of rice buckets have to knock on the books?

So, everyone asked Han Zanzhou to read out the question, Han Zanzhou said: "King Qin's day is full of opportunities, time is limited, this is a very simple question, maybe ordinary people can answer it, now give you ten drums of time, you listen well." ”

The onlookers outside all fell silent, and two or three hundred readers also held their breath, waiting intently for Han Zanzhou to come up with the question.

The opportunity is rare, if anyone answers it first, it will definitely become famous in one fell swoop, there will never be a few times in a lifetime, who can not work hard?

Han Zanzhou unfolded the title written by Qin Mu and read it aloud: "You are optimistic, this is the question from King Qin: the towering ancient temple is in the mountains and forests, and I don't know how many monks there are in the temple. Three hundred and sixty-four bowls, see if you run them out. Three people eat a bowl of rice, and four people eat a bowl of soup. May I ask you who are calculating, how many monks are there in the temple? ”

After Han Zan finished reading the question on Monday, the guards here immediately began to beat the drums, boom! The sound of the drums seemed to hit the hearts of two or three hundred scholars one by one, shocking, seeing that the ten drums were already halfway through, many people were so anxious that their foreheads were sweating;

I can't help but say that Qin Mu is quite insidious, this cowhide drum is beating loudly, there are really few people who can calm down and calculate, plus such a blockbuster opportunity is really rare, the more I hope to grasp this opportunity, the more nervous I feel, the more nervous I feel, the more I can't calculate it

As a result, after ten drums, the faces of the two or three hundred scholars turned red, and none of them could be counted.

Among the onlookers, a young man from a tea shop couldn't help but feel itchy in his heart, and came out to reply: "The villain knows the Tao, the villain knows how many monks there are in this temple!" ”

Han Zanzhou smiled, like a good person, and said hehe: "Okay, you come to answer, if you answer correctly, our family will reward you with two taels of silver." ”

The young man in the tea shop suddenly turned red with excitement as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and replied loudly: "Six hundred and twenty-four, this father-in-law, there are a total of six hundred and twenty-four monks in the temple, right?" ”

"That's right, there's a reward!" Han Zanzhou asked the young man to come forward, and then took out two Great Qin Treasures and copied them.

The people outside were discussing and laughing.

The two or three hundred scholars inside were very embarrassed, you look at me, I look at you, some of the thin-skinned ones quietly retreated into the crowd outside, and slipped away.

Hundreds of people who claim to be reading seeds can't answer, it's better than a young man in a tea shop, where is this face placed?

There are more and more people who are slipping away, and a huge drama of knocking on the book ended without a problem.

This matter spread quickly, and it became a topic of conversation among the people after tea and dinner, and it was talked about by people.

It is estimated that after the two or three hundred scholars leave, I am afraid that all of them will scratch their heads and desperately calculate, although they all know that the answer is six hundred and twenty-four, but how did these six hundred and twenty-four be calculated, if you don't figure it out, how can you still hold your head up in front of people in this life?
