Chapter 241
The children of rich families who were sent to Zhigong Academy were all cultivated as heirs to the family business, not idle sons.
But after all, they live in a rich family, although they know that shopping malls are like battlefields, and people's hearts are sinister, but where have they experienced the battlefield? Those unlucky rich boys, whose necks were choked by the ronin, almost died, and then saw a mountain of corpses and a sea of corpses, as well as the thunder and thunder, nausea in the abdomen, frightened and light, a few serious ones are still lying on the bed of the inn, with a high fever, it seems that the bitter medicine will not recover after ten days and half a month!
At the end of the hour, the palace was already bustling with activity, and the nearly 100 corrupt officials on the high platform were already wearing prison uniforms, kneeling there facing the people, and behind each of them stood a soldier with a spear and a crotch knife!
Below the high platform are the seats of the civil and military officials, who are surrounded by the high platform on three sides, occupying the advantageous position, and beyond them, there are hundreds of people standing and watching the excitement, and there is a row of soldiers in the middle of them.
There was a long table and three chairs on the high platform, and three people had already been made on the chairs at this time. In the middle is Han Xiang, the temple secretary of Dali Temple, although his surname is Han, he can't fight with the eight poles of the Huai'an Han family, his expression is serious at this time, and he frowns and looks at a dossier.
On his left hand sat Xing Shu, at this time Xing Shu looked at those kneeling Yangzhou officials, the corners of his mouth sneered, he could see the ruthless methods of the Lin Sect Lord, these people were in his hands, I am afraid that their lives will not be guaranteed.
Sitting on the other chair is, of course, the imperial envoy of the Imperial Observatory, Lu Yanqing, his face was gloomy at this time, as uncomfortable as eating a fly, he knew that today's so-called three public trials, in fact, is a passing scene, no matter how quick he thinks, how unparalleled his arguments, in front of everyone, it is difficult to do anything!
Alas, the other party made it a conspiracy this time! Even if you know there's a fire pit in front of you, you can only jump in with your eyes closed! Don't jump? It doesn't matter, someone behind you pushes you to jump!
He couldn't help but squint at Han Zheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites sitting in the audience, this Han Zheng is Han's tongue in the court, but unfortunately it is just an empty shelf at this time, and the Guozijian under the Ministry of Rites has been a legal person since Wang Anshi was the prime minister.
Han Zheng seemed to have a good heart, and he just looked up, and when the two made eye contact, they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes! Deep helplessness, like being roasted on a fire!
There was an old man in his fifties sitting next to Han Zheng, in a long robe and robe, looking generous and benevolent, but he was looking at the high platform with angry eyes at this time, his expression was obviously very angry, but he didn't know what to scruple and endure himself!
Lu Zhiqing noticed Cheng Yi's expression out of the corner of his eyes, and secretly said with disdain, now that the general trend has been decided, do you old guy still want to go against the sky?
Although he attacked Wang Anshi's law change with Ercheng, he also disagreed with the Luoyang science of the two Chengs, and only approached them when the situation required it, if he said that Wang Anshi's law change had the advantage of exploiting the people, but this Luoyang science was simply miserable!
However, since he has entered the thousand-year-old clan of the Lu family, his thoughts and thoughts are consciously based on the Lu family: if science prevails, and "starvation is a small matter, and a loss of festival is a big matter" as the supreme morality, then those hungry people would probably rather starve to death than rob the leaves of the landlord's house, right? The homeless people would probably rather starve to death than rebel, right? Thinking about it like this, I feel that Ercheng Science is no better, and Wang Anshi's new learning, the sky is not enough to fear, the ancestors are not enough to be afraid, the ancestors are not enough to be compassionate, and the principles of heaven, humanity, and the laws of the ancestors are not wanted, isn't this just going to cause trouble in the world? !
In the front row of the crowd of onlookers, there were seven people wearing good silk brocade clothes, at a glance they knew that they were the sons of a rich family, about their early twenties, they followed behind an old man with half a hundred hair, the old man was slightly fat, wearing a black robe, looking at the high platform, the corner of his mouth sneered, these court officials, but they have always regarded them as fat pigs like slaughter, but think of today, hum, kneel in front of the world! He felt refreshed for a while, as if he had taken a sip of rock sugar pears on dog days!
He had a sharp eye, swept the place where Cheng Yi was sitting, he only saw a left back back, and the other party was sitting, standing by himself, he silently snorted twice in his heart, cool officials kill people with law, and Ercheng kills people with reason! Pouting disdainfully at that back.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a man with a white beard, a thin and tall figure, standing in the middle of the crowd in a coarse robe, not far from him, which stood out very prominently, and he exclaimed, and the man's eyes gave a faint melancholy, as if he was grieving for the impending judgment.
This trial is not as simple as dealing with a few corrupt officials, but a prelude to another big attack on the old school by the long-dormant reformists since Wang Anshi's resignation!
Regardless of the outcome today, the world will usher in a new period of turmoil.
Shen Jin looked up at the hour, the sun was shining today, it was a good weather, and the hour had already entered the middle of the hour, and half of the time had passed.
It's not early, he let out a long breath, and his face was replaced with an inexplicable smile, nervous, yearning, and excited! What kind of new situation will we usher in after today?
Just when he was thinking blindly, he suddenly heard a golden gong ringing on the upper floor of the palace city, "clang~~~", the crowd was stunned, quieted down, and the needle could be heard.
Shen Jin's heart couldn't help but flutter rapidly, he knew that the Son of Heaven was coming, in the ancient feudal society, the Son of Heaven sat on the dragon chair, and the common people wanted to see the Son of Heaven, it was impossible! What's more, Shinong industry and commerce, business last?
The Shen family founded the Zhigong Academy, although it was very famous among the merchants, and it also had the name of "Feiran" heresy in Shilin, but the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty in the past dynasties, no one in the Shen family had ever seen it.
However, Shen Jin, an old bone in his fifties and more than fifty years old, is now about to see the Son of Heaven, how can he not be excited?
He kept whispering to the disciples around him: "The official family is coming, pay attention, kneel down and salute in a while!" Don't forget! Don't forget! Don't forget ......"
His disciples were also excited now, and their mouths seemed to habitually reply: "Sir, don't worry, the disciple knows." Looking up at the tower of the mighty city, eager eyes waited for the figure of the Son of Heaven, and I didn't know if I had listened to their husband's advice.
Several rows of yellow flags lined up on the city tower, and then a small eunuch stepped forward, opened his voice and shouted: "His Majesty the Emperor has arrived at ......."
When the hundred officials and all the people below were about to kneel down to greet them, they heard the eunuch continue, "Lord Qincha has arrived~~~"
